Definition
结盟 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to form an alliance'. The object 盟 can be separated from the verb 结 when inserting elements like 过, 了, or a measure word — e.g., 结过一次盟 ('formed an alliance once'). The other party in the alliance is introduced with 和, 与, or 跟 (与…结盟). The word is common in political, military, and business contexts.
