Do you need an excuse to fight? What are the wonderful excuses for war in history?

There is a word called famous teacher. Even if the reason for playing is grandiose and can't stand scrutiny, as long as there is a reason, we know very well whether this reason is sufficient or unreasonable. I've been wanting to play for a long time, but I'm an unknown teacher. Once I find a little reason, I can become famous.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were too many such wars between vassal states, and there were also various reasons for going to war. Anything you can think of or can't think of may be the reason. Let's take Qi Huangong as an example to talk about the wonderful reasons used in the war.

Qi Huangong once married Chua Ji of Cai Guo. At that time, Qi Huangong was very old, and Chua Ji was still a little girl, which was equivalent to the love between my grandfather and my grandson now. Little girls may be more pampered and self-centered at home, so they are different from Qi Huangong. Therefore, in the process of getting along with them, it is inevitable that she will be spoiled and spoiled at ordinary times. Qi Huangong used to spoil her, but once she went too far.

Cai Ji and Qi Huangong once rowed leisurely in their respective lakes. The little girl was so excited that she jumped up and down on the boat and shook it. As a result, the ship shook. Qi Huangong is old, and she can't stand this swing, so she stops, but she won't, and she laughs and swings, which completely annoys Qi Huangong. What's Qi Huangong like? He couldn't tolerate things beyond his control, so after stopping the ship, he ordered his servants to pack up Chua Ji's things and send them back to Cai Guo.

But instead of divorcing his wife, she just sent Cai Ji back to her parents' house, hoping that she could reflect well and let her brother, the monarch of Cai, get a good education. I didn't know that Cai Muhou was very fond of this sister. With the encouragement of Chu, Cai Ji remarried.

Did Qi Huangong get angry when he found out? Of course he's angry. His woman married someone else, but how angry can he be? I can't see how angry I will be, but it is a reasonable reason to send troops. As early as a few months ago, Qi Huangong planned to crusade against Chu with several vassal states, but I couldn't find an excuse. This time, we attacked Cai with Cai incident first, and then arrived in Chu.

Such a good opportunity, of course, will not pass, so in the spring and autumn of the second year, with Eight-Nation Alliance, angrily attacked Cai. Zuozhuan? "Xi Gong Si Nian" records:

In the first month of the spring of four years, five people invaded Cai, including Qi Hou, Song Gong, Chen Hou, Zheng Bo and others. Cai defeated and then attacked Chu, second only to Yu. If it's really just for Chua Ji, will Qi Huangong start Eight-Nation Alliance? This is obviously an excuse to go to war, no matter how wonderful it is, as long as it can go to war. Of course, attacking Cai is not the ultimate goal, but their goal is Chu. Cai and Chu are closely related. When Cai arrived, it was not far from Chu.

However, attacking Chu also needs a reason. Cai Ji can't use it for this reason. Guan Zhong also prepared a reason for Qi Huangong to attack Chu. What is the reason? King ChuCheng sent messengers to take a message:

? You are in the North Sea and I am in the South China Sea, but it doesn't matter. I don't care if you meddle in our land. Why? ? Nothing at ordinary times, nothing. Why did you bring Eight-Nation Alliance to the territory of Chu? This question is not diabolical, and most people don't know how to answer it, but Guan Zhong said:

? Yesterday I called Kang Gong and ordered me to be the first Grand Duke. Five Hou Jiubo, female real character, with auxiliary room. If you don't have enough money, the king's sacrifice will not be * * *, and there is no way to shrink the wine. I am a soldier. Wang Zhao went to the south, but I asked. ? Your state of Chu was originally responsible for paying tribute to Bao Mao, who was used by the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, but now you don't pay tribute, which hinders the sacrifice. Besides, Zheng of Zhao didn't come back, and now we are here to blame Chu.

Is this an appropriate reason? Of course it is appropriate. After Xiong Yi was created, Chu was responsible for paying tribute to Bao Mao. It was wrong to stop paying tribute. But during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which country paid tribute to Zhou seriously? It's good enough not to hang around.

Let's talk about Wang Zhao's southern expedition. King Zhao of Zhou started his first expedition to the south in 985 BC and died there in 977 BC. Whether King Zhao of Zhou conquered Chu or not, 300 years have passed since Qi Huangong's time. During these 300 years, I haven't seen the State of Qi come forward to crusade against Chu. It happened that more than three hundred years later, Qi Huangong remembered it. Chu nature is not satisfied, they back like this:

? If you don't pay tribute, you will be guilty of losing your husband. Dare not give it. Wang Zhao is gone, you ask the seaside. ? King Zhao of Zhou didn't go back. Go to the water and ask. It's no use asking us about Chu. Qi marched on with a great army and then stationed in Hong Kong. Later, after the defeat of Chu, he went to the army to negotiate with Qi Huangong and other princes. The allied forces promised to withdraw their troops, and then made an alliance with the State of Chu. Although the battle was not won, the goal was achieved.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many reasons for this wonderful war, and wars often occurred between Wu Chu. The low beam of Wu State is adjacent to Li Zhong of Chu State. This place is the junction of the two countries, where a mulberry tree grows. Two children fought over this mulberry tree, and as a result, the two families fought and someone in the Wu family was killed. When Beiliang found an excuse to attack Li Zhong, King Chu Ping was very angry when he heard about it, so he sent troops to destroy Beiliang. The prince of Wu refused to give in, and let the son send his troops to destroy Li Zhong and live in the old nest.

Originally, it was just two children fighting for trees, but in the end it turned into a war between the two countries. This is not a simple impulse, and the second is the result of Wu Chu attacking each other all the year round.
