晉(jin)文公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)在(zai)秦(qin)(qin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)當俘(fu)虜(lu)時(shi),曾(ceng)請(qing)求(qiu)割(ge)讓(rang)五座城池給秦(qin)(qin)穆(mu)公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)以(yi)換取自己的(de)(de)(de)自由(you)。可(ke)當晉(jin)文公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)回國(guo)(guo)(guo)后,卻遲遲不提割(ge)讓(rang)城池的(de)(de)(de)事,秦(qin)(qin)穆(mu)公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)為(wei)(wei)此(ci)很是氣憤。公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)元前647年,晉(jin)惠公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)繼位時(shi),晉(jin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)爆(bao)發(fa)饑(ji)(ji)荒,身為(wei)(wei)鄰國(guo)(guo)(guo)的(de)(de)(de)秦(qin)(qin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)卻大(da)力相助。而(er)當秦(qin)(qin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)爆(bao)發(fa)饑(ji)(ji)荒時(shi),晉(jin)惠公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)卻趁(chen)火(huo)打(da)劫(jie),出兵攻打(da)秦(qin)(qin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)。秦(qin)(qin)穆(mu)公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)頓時(shi)龍顏大(da)怒,馬上派兵防(fang)守。秦(qin)(qin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)雖然內(nei)有(you)饑(ji)(ji)荒,外有(you)戰亂,但(dan)畢竟(jing)國(guo)(guo)(guo)力強(qiang)盛,漸(jian)(jian)漸(jian)(jian)轉守為(wei)(wei)攻,最終大(da)敗(bai)晉(jin)國(guo)(guo)(guo),俘(fu)虜(lu)了晉(jin)惠公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)。但(dan)秦(qin)(qin)穆(mu)公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)表(biao)示:俘(fu)虜(lu)晉(jin)惠公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong),只為(wei)(wei)懲(cheng)罰他當年的(de)(de)(de)忘恩負義及現在(zai)的(de)(de)(de)以(yi)怨報德、落井下(xia)石。便放(fang)了晉(jin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)的(de)(de)(de)大(da)臣(chen)大(da)夫,晉(jin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)大(da)臣(chen)們馬上下(xia)拜,承認(ren)自己不如秦(qin)(qin)國(guo)(guo)(guo)人大(da)公(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)無私。這就是“甘拜下(xia)風(feng)”的(de)(de)(de)由(you)來。
