The state of Yu is close to Ruidi, in the northeast of it.
There is a famous allusion in history called "Xi Bo broke off Rui Yu's lawsuit".
Naturally, they are also full of praise for Zhou Shi.
It tells the story of how the kings of Rui and Yu admired Lao Jichang's benevolence and statecraft so much that they asked him to arbitrate disputes between the two families.
Seeing how friendly and humble the people were under Lao Jichang's rule, they felt ashamed and dropped the lawsuit. .
Now, Rui State has long been destroyed by Lao Jichang on the pretext of "disrespecting his father and elders".
Of course, in the history of the world where Hua came from, the two kingdoms of Rui and Yu reappeared as feudal states after King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty.
They existed until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but their monarch was already named Ji.
Not only these two ancient kingdoms, but also the eight hundred princes who formed the Mengjin Alliance after King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, most of them either disappeared from historical records and cultural relics, or their kings changed their surnames to Ji, or they were granted vassal status by neighboring Ji surnames.
Annexed with Jiang Fengguo.
Ever since the Rui Kingdom was destroyed by Zhou Fang, the Marquis of Yu has been cautious and abiding by the rules.
He even went to Haojing to seek advice from Ji Dan, the fourth prince who specialized in Zhou rites and etiquette.
No matter how big or small, we should strictly follow Zhou etiquette and etiquette.
The Yu Palace, which had no eunuchs to begin with, also castrated all the dozen or so male courtiers.
Weddings, funerals, daily etiquette, and even daily conversations between family members all strictly followed the etiquette established by the Ji family.
Even so, Marquis Yu still did not escape the disaster, and now King Wen of Zhou's messenger came to his door.
The letter said that Marquis Yu's virtues and talents were lacking, and he was no longer worthy of being a king.
The country of Yu should be handed over to virtuous people.
At this time, Marquis Yu knew that the role he and the King of Rui had played in cooperating with "Best Actor Ji Chang" many years ago was in vain. .
But he still had to offer the seal with both hands with a smile on his face.
What happened to the king of Rui State and Chonghou Hu not long ago?
Zhou Fang's Zong Liu Division had more troops than the population of Yu State.
A few days later, rolling chariots, baggage, soldiers, and soldiers passed by the former Yu Kingdom and headed toward the Li Kingdom in the northeast of the Yu Kingdom.
The procession was a full twenty miles long, from noon to dark.
Zong Liu's army came out in full force to attack Li.
The teacher was famous, but the king of Li State despised his father and brother, and the wealth was unevenly distributed.
The country of Li has a large population, but its armaments are weak.
The standing army only consisted of a few hundred personal guards of the monarch, and the more than 30,000 militiamen summoned in an emergency were large in number, but they were poorly equipped and poorly trained.
There were only a few soldiers wearing leather armor, and most of the soldiers held a common weapon.
The five-foot-long sword.
As for chariots, the total number of chariots is less than a hundred times.
The main forces of both sides encountered each other in the southwest of Li's capital, and a decisive battle began immediately.
Both sides in this battle adopted slow fighting.
Zong's Sixth Division lined up in a neat formation and marched slowly to the beat of war drums.
After all, they were not a professional army and lacked professional training on a daily basis.
The Zhou army had to reorganize their formation every six or seven steps forward.
The archers on the six hundred chariots shot arrows from time to time, killing a large number of Li troops before engaging in battle.
After engaging the Lebanese army, they fought together.
The armor-bearing soldiers on the chariot wielded their long spears and harvested the opponent's heads condescendingly.
Only when the front was cleared, the entire army formation continued to advance together.
Compared with the swarming charge tactics of many ancient countries and tribes at the same time, this method of warfare is already a great military progress.
The latter looks fierce, but in fact it can only accelerate the consumption of one's own troops.
The only advantage is that it can create a kind of momentum, but as long as the opponent's front is not broken, this false momentum will soon dissipate.
Soon, the result of the battle came out without any suspense.
The Li army was completely defeated, and the Zhou army took advantage of the victory to pursue it.

All the members of the Li family were captured, including Emperor Xin's daughter.
Lao Jichang squinted his old eyes and stared at the "trophies" in front of him, the King of Li and his clan members.
Li Bo said to Ji Chang: "Why is Zhou Xibo doing this?
Our Li country is far away from your Zhou side and we have no grudges or enmities.
Why do you want to invade our country?"
Lao Jichang chuckled and said with a leaky mouth: "You insult your father and brother and divide the wealth unevenly."
Li Bo argued: "When did I despise my father and brother and divide the wealth unevenly?"
Ji Chang summoned two people, who were the chamberlains of Li State Palace.
He testified that on a certain day of a certain year, Uncle Li had a quarrel with his brother after drinking too much at a family banquet and scolded him.
He also obtained the internal government account books to prove that Uncle Li had "unfairly distributed" his children's property.
At this time, Uncle Li's brother scolded: "This is all my own business, none of your business."
Uncle Li's children also said, "We know in our hearts whether the distribution is fair or not.
Even if it is unfair, it doesn't matter to you."
Old Jichang laughed loudly and said: "If it concerns etiquette and law, it is none of my business.
If you insult your father and brother, and if you share the wealth unevenly, you should be killed.
No, you should be exterminated.
Come on, kill them all to uphold etiquette and law."
Dozens of soldiers stepped forward, wielding their swords, and cut off heads amidst the wails and screams.
A woman with a baby in her arms begged to let her child go.
Ji Fa, who was beside Ji Chang, snatched her away and threw her heavily to the ground.
Boyikao asked Ji Chang: "Father, what should we do next and who should be sent to manage Li Di."
Old Jichang glared and said, "Kill all the people."
Boyikao was surprised and said: "Father, why did you have five orders when we attacked Chongguo last time?
No killing indiscriminately, no destruction of houses, no filling of wells, no cutting of trees, and no robbery.
Six animals.
This move was praised by the world, and everyone praised his father as a benevolent king.
Old Jichang looked at him with hatred and said: "Can Chongguo and Liguo be the same?
One is right under our noses, and it is our own territory.
We can harm ourselves and destroy our own population on our own territory."
Livestock property?
This Li country and our mainland?
Thousands of miles away, Shang Wangji is just over the mountain.
It is impossible for us to occupy this place now, nor can we bring all the people back to be slaves all the way.
If we don't slaughter all these Li people, we have no chance of fighting this battle.
Why should I learn from your two brothers and use my brain more in the future?
Every city in the Li Kingdom was filled with the smell of blood, and at first there was the sound of people crying and howling.
Only then did some men wave their hoes and fight hard, but they soon fell into a pool of blood.
The sounds of weeping, wails and begging became less and less, leaving only the obscene laughter of Zhou soldiers raping women.
After Lao Jichang gave the order to retreat, these women who provided the soldiers with pleasure were also killed.
Only then did the soldiers of the Zhou army pile the plundered wealth into large and small bags on the baggage carts.
Dozens of large and small cities in Li country were ignited with raging fires.
During this expedition to Lebanon, more than 200,000 Li people were almost wiped out, and only a handful of people in remote cities escaped.
This is what happened in this world, and in the world where China came from, historians controlled by the Confucian system recorded only four words about Ji Chang's defeat of Li.
Lao Ji Changzhi returned with his two sons and the army proudly and reached the intersection of the first and third intersections.
Ji Chang asked the guide: "Where does this road lead?"

"Reporting to my lord, this road leads to Baixing.
Two hundred miles past Baixing is where the Shang Kingdom is located."
Ji Chang's eyes lit up, and he said to Boyikao and Ji Fa: "Ji Fa will take the army back to Haojing first.
Choose two thousand elite soldiers for me, and travel lightly.
Boyikao and I will go and attack this enemy."
Bai Xing and Shang Fang Wang Ji.
"Father, no, this is too risky."
Ji Fa quickly dissuaded him.
"It doesn't matter.
If the Shang Dynasty enters Li, they will not go this way for the sake of distance.
Instead, they will go up to Jingxing.
We will not encounter the main force of the Shang Dynasty."
After Emperor Xin received Li's request for help, he immediately sent Feilian and 20,000 horses to Jingxing to rescue Li.
He also sent a summons to the surrounding princes, asking them to send troops to rescue Li.
Unfortunately, Li Guo was defeated too quickly.
On the third day after the letter asking for help arrived at Chaoge, the Zhou army broke through the palace city of the capital of Li State.
At this time, Captain Xia Yan, under the orders of Xia Hua, the Northern Minister of Xia, led a brigade of the Northern Division to cross the river north and enter Baixing to support Li State
