In 606 BC, King Zhuang conquered the Rong of Luhun (now Yichuan, Henan) and became king in the suburbs of Zhou to show his intention of swallowing Zhou. Then he broke the news about Chen. The Jin army sent troops to save Zheng, and the two armies fought in Zhai (now north of Zhengzhou, Henan Province), and the Jin army was defeated. Since then, Lu, Zheng, Chen, Song and other countries in the Central Plains have successively joined Chu and dominated the Central Plains. Chu Zhuangwang is a blockbuster. Shortly after Chu was defeated by the State of Jin in Chengpu, the king of Chu was killed by his son Shang Chen. Shang Chen became the monarch. It's King Chumu. King Chu Mu was unwilling to fail, so he practiced hard and vowed to fight the State of Jin. He first annexed several small countries nearby, and then pulled over countries such as Chen and Zheng in the Central Plains. In the sixth year of King Zhou Qing (6 13 BC), King Chu Mu was about to work hard and suddenly died of illness. His son Lu succeeded to the throne, which is famous. Seeing that Chu was busy with the funeral, the State of Jin reunited with the princes, made a covenant, and then took back Chen, Zheng and other countries dragged down by Chu. As a result, the ministers of Chu were eager to fight a decisive battle with Jin. However, Chu Zhuangwang remained unmoved. For nearly three years since he ascended the throne, he has been hunting and drinking all day, ignoring political affairs, and hung a big sign at the gate of the palace, which read: "Those who make suggestions will not forgive!" " On this day, the doctor Wu Ju went to see the king of Chu. Chu Zhuangwang, with a glass in his hand and venison in his mouth, watched singing and dancing drunkenly. He squinted and asked, "Did the doctor come here to drink or watch songs and dances?" Wu Ju said, "Someone asked me to guess a riddle, but I couldn't figure it out. I came to ask you for advice. " While drinking, Chu Zhuangwang asked, "What riddle is so difficult to guess? Tell me. " Wu Ju said, "The riddle is,' There was a big bird in the State of Chu that lived in the imperial court for three years, but it didn't sing or fly. It's hard to understand. What is this for? Please guess, it doesn't sound or fly. What kind of bird is this? "Hearing this, Chu Zhuangwang understood the meaning of Wu Ju and said with a smile," I guess. It's not just an ordinary black dog. This bird did not fly for three years, but soared into the sky; Three years without singing is a blockbuster. You wait and see. " Wuju understood the meaning of Chu Zhuangwang, so he withdrew happily. A few months later, Chu Zhuangwang, a big bird, was still the same, neither singing nor flying, but still hunting. Drink and enjoy singing and dancing. Dr. Su couldn't stand it any longer, so she came to see King Zhuang. He burst into tears as soon as he entered the palace gate. Chu Zhuangwang said, "Sir. Why are you so sad? Su Cong replied, "I'm very sad, because I'm going to die. I am also sad that Chu is about to perish. " Chu Zhuangwang was surprised; He asked, "How could you die? How can Chu perish? " Su Cong said, "I want to advise you. "If you don't listen, you will kill me. You watch songs and dances all day; Fighting and killing, regardless of political affairs, isn't the destruction of Chu in sight? " Chu Zhuangwang was furious after hearing this, and rebuked Su Cong: "Do you want to die? I have already said that anyone who dares to protest will be killed. It's silly of you to know now! " Su Cong said bitterly, "I am stupid, but you are more stupid than me. If you kill me, I will get a reputation as a loyal minister after my death; At this rate, Chu will perish sooner or later. You will be the king of national subjugation. Aren't you dumber than me? I quit. Kill if you want. " Chu Zhuangwang suddenly stood up. Emotionally said: "The doctor's words are sincere advice, and I will do as you say." Immediately, he ordered the dissolution of the band and sent dancers, determined to do something big. Chu Zhuangwang first cleaned up the internal affairs, used talents, and promoted Wu Ju and Su Cong to important positions. At that time, Ling Yin and Dou Yuejiao of Chu were ambitious and wanted to usurp the throne. Chu Zhuangwang appointed three ministers to share the work of Ling Yin, which weakened his power and stopped the fight against pepper. While reforming politics, Chu Zhuangwang expanded the army and strengthened the training of non-commissioned officers, preparing for a decisive battle with the State of Jin. In the third year of the throne, he led the troops to destroy Guo Yong (now Zhushan County, Hubei Province); In the sixth year, defeated Song Guo; In the eighth year, he defeated the Rong nationality in Luhun (now the northern part of Song County, Henan Province). At that time, he was still demonstrating at the border of the Zhou Dynasty, which scared King Ding of Zhou to send his minister Wang to comfort him. When I met Wang, the first thing I asked was how heavy Jiuding was in the ancestral hall of the capital of Zhou Dynasty. This Jiuding was originally cast by Dayu. It is a symbol of the power of the son of heaven. Asking about Jiuding's weight is actually a threat to Zhou Tianwang's status. After throwing its weight around this time, the leading country of Chu was greatly boosted, but unexpectedly there was a rebellion in Chu. In the second year of the King (605 BC), Chu Zhuangwang finished the crusade against the Lv Hunrong people. On his way home, he suddenly found a group of people blocking the way. It turned out that when Chu Zhuangwang was away, the struggle against pepper began. He occupied Ying capital and quickly sent troops to stop Chu Zhuangwang, trying to destroy Chu Zhuangwang outside Ying city. It was too early for Chu Zhuangwang to see that he was at war with Yue Jiao. When his soldiers came home from the battlefield, they were very tired. Knowing that brute force was not good for him, he said, "Dou Jia has made great contributions to Chu, and I would rather let Yue Jiao take my responsibility than me." He sent Sue to make peace. Dou Yuejiao thought that Chu Zhuangwang was already in the bag, and he just reached for it. Why did he stop? He said to Su Cong, "Go back and tell Xiong Law (Chu Zhuangwang's name) that you have the courage to fight to the death, or you will surrender soon!" Chu Zhuangwang an excuse to withdraw, and in the evening. However, the army was ambushed on the east bank of Zhangshui, and sent a team of soldiers to move on the river bank to lure buckets across the river. I led some soldiers and hid under the bridge. The next morning, Dou Yuejiao saw Chu soldiers on the other side of the river, so he chased them across the river. When I found myself cheated and wanted to go back, the bridge had been torn down. Panicked Dou Yuejiao hurriedly ordered the soldiers to wade across the river. When the soldiers were about to get into the water, Chu Jiang, a member on the other side, shouted, "General Laibo is here. You must fight for more pepper and surrender quickly!" After that, the soldiers tried to shoot arrows. Playing Chili peppers also allows soldiers to shoot arrows on the other side. In the confrontation between the two sides. Yang was one of his archers. He shot Dou Yuejiao with one arrow.
