During his term of office, Guan Zhong promoted reform, that is to say, Guan Zhong's reform enriched the country and strengthened the army, attached great importance to commerce, and was worshipped as the patron saint of China's sex service industry for creating the system of state-owned prostitutes. His life biographies are recorded in ZhanGuoCe, Guoyu Qiyu, Shiji Guanyan liezhuan, Guanzi and Zuozhuan. The Analects of Confucius and guanzhonglun by Su Xun in the Northern Song Dynasty analyze and evaluate Guanzhong's deeds.

Duke Huan of Qi

Duke Huan of Qi (716-643 B.C. on October 7), the head of the five tyrants in the spring and Autumn period, was in power from 685-643 B.C. during the spring and Autumn period, the 15th monarch of Qi, surnamed Jiang and surnamed Lu, was named Xiaobai.

Duke Huan of Qi is the twelfth generation grandson of Lu Shang, the Duke of Jiang Taigong. He is the third and youngest son of Lu Fu, the Duke of Qi. His mother is from the state of Wei. After Qi Xianggong, the eldest son of Duke Fu of Qi, and gongsunxiao, the nephew of Duke Fu, died one after another in the civil strife of Qi, Xiaobai, the young master, successfully fought for the throne, that is, the throne.

Duke Huan of Qi took Guan Zhong as prime minister, carried out reform and implemented the system of unifying the military and the government, and unifying the army and the people. In 681 BC, Duke Huan of Qi called song, Chen, Cai, Ying and other princes to form an alliance in Beixing (now Liaocheng east of Shandong Province). He was the first one to replace the Emperor Zhou as the leader of the alliance in history.

At that time, the Chinese princes in the Central Plains suffered from the attacks of the nomadic tribes such as Rong and Di, so Duke Huan of Qi, under the banner of "respecting the king and fighting against the barbarians", attacked Shanrong in the north and attacked Chu in the south, becoming the first overlord in the Central Plains, and was rewarded by the emperor of Zhou.

Duke Huan of Qi was fatuous in his later years. After Guan Zhong died, he appointed Yi Ya, Li Diao and other villains, and eventually starved to death in civil strife.

Prince Wen of Jin

Wengong of Jin (697-628 BC), surnamed Ji and named Chonger, was the 22nd monarch of Jin State in the spring and Autumn period of China. He was in power from 636-628 BC. He was the son of Xiangong of Jin and his mother was Huji. Wen Gong of Jin Dynasty is the second overlord among the five tyrants in the spring and Autumn period. He is also called "Qi Huan Jin Wen" together with Huan Gong of Qi Dynasty.

Duke Wen of Jin Dynasty was a young man, modest and studious, and good at making friends with talented people. During the rebellion of Li Ji, she was forced to live in exile for 19 years. In the spring of 636 BC, with the support of Duke mu of Qin, she went back to Jin and killed Duke Huai of Jin. During the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, he appointed Hu Yan, Xian Fu, Zhao Shuai, Jia Tuo, Wei Yu and others to carry out the policies of trade and agriculture, being wise and virtuous, and rewarding the meritorious service, which greatly increased the national strength of Jin. He united with the state of Qin and the state of Qi to attack Cao Wei and rescue song Fu Zheng. He pacified the rebellion of Zhou Shi Zi Dai and was rewarded by the emperor of Zhou. In 633 BC, King Cheng of Chu led the troops of Chu, Zheng and Chen to besiege Shangqiu, the capital of Song Dynasty. Song sent people to Jin for help. Duke Wen of Jin adopted the correct opinions of his subordinates, won over the state of Qi and the state of Qin, and strengthened his own strength. Later, it improved the relationship between Jin and Cao and Wei, and isolated Chu. At this time, Ziyu, commander of the state of Chu (official name, equivalent to Prime Minister), was furious and sent troops to attack the Jin army. In order to avoid the edge of the Chu army, and to repay the help and hospitality of the king of Chu when he fled abroad due to the chaos in the Jin Dynasty, Duke Wen of Jin promised that if he could return to the state of Jin as the king, once the Jin and Chu fought, the Jin army would retreat,

In ancient times, when the army marched 30 Li, it was called Yi she, and 90 Li was called San she). They ordered the army to retreat 90 Li backward. The Jin army retreated to Chengpu (juancheng County, Shandong Province). Chengpu was close to the state of Jin, so it was very convenient to supply supplies, and it was also convenient to gather the troops of Qi, Qin, song and other allied countries. In April 632 BC, the Jin and Chu armies began a decisive battle. The Jin army lured the enemy deeply, and the Chu army was besieged and annihilated. The battle of Chengpu created a famous example of military retreat first and attack later.

After that, Duke Wen of Jin invited King Xiang of Zhou, and called together Qi, song and other states to join the alliance of jiantu (now Guangwu of Henan Province) and the princes. History says: "practice the soil to meet alliance". The emperor of Zhou appointed Wengong of Jin as "Hou Bo" (the chief of the princes), and rewarded him with black and red bows and arrows, indicating that he was allowed to fight freely. Duke Wen of Jin officially became the second overlord, creating a century long overlord of Jin.

allusion

In fact, the earliest statement in the official history of the Three Kingdoms is that Jia Xu, a "poison scholar", proposed to Li Xi, the later leader of the Liangzhou army, "to serve the country to conquer the world.". In the third year of Chuping (192), Dong Zhuo was killed, and his ministry, Li Xi and others, sent envoys to Chang'an to ask for forgiveness. At that time, situ Wang Yun, who was in power, was upright and did not agree. Li Yu and others were even more afraid and did not know what to do. They were ready to dissolve and flee back to their hometown. At that time, Jia Xu was an official of Dong Zhuo's department and worked in Li's army. In order to protect himself, he came forward to stop them and said to Li and others, "I heard that the central government of Chang'an wanted to punish Liangzhou people as much as possible, but the monarchs abandoned many single lines, that is to say, one Pavilion leader could restrain the monarch. It's better to lead the masses to the west, where the troops are, to attack Chang'an and avenge the Duke of Dong
