In June of the eighteenth year of King Zhou Ding (589 BC), because Qi Qinggong, who was ambitious and coveted the hegemony of Jin, with the support of Chu, sent troops to attack Jin's allies Lu and Wei, so Jinzhong The military general and ruling official Chuoke persuaded Jin Jinggong, the king of Jin, to send troops to attack Qi. With Jin Jinggong's consent, Chuoke personally served as the commander-in-chief of the attack on Qi, leading a huge army formation of 800 chariots. With the cooperation of the Lu State, Wei State, and Bai Di armies, they marched mightily to the Lu State Chaoqiu where the troops were stationed in front of the Qi State Tomb, preparing for a field battle with the Qi Army.
After learning that Jin had launched a huge army of 800 chariots to rescue Lu and Wei, Qi Qinggong, who was still attacking Lu's Chaoqiu, was extremely panicked, so he immediately ordered the Qi army to retreat from Lu; but he failed. Unwilling to give up, he led the coalition forces in hot pursuit and reached Weiguo Shendi (Shandong Shen County) where Qi Qinggong temporarily stationed troops. Qi Qinggong retreated to the foot of Miji Mountain (Qianfo Mountain in Jinan, Shandong), but failed to lead his army to pursue him again.
After being chased by Chuke and his army several times, Qi Qinggong, who was stationed at the foot of Miji Mountain, was very angry. He had no way to release the resentment he was holding in his stomach. He also wanted to have a good battle with the Jin army to see the two generations of Qi and Jin. Who wins and who loses in the battle between the princes and overlords.
Therefore, Qi Qinggong sent an envoy to the camp of the Jin coalition forces and delivered a letter of challenge in the name of Qi Qinggong to the coalition commander Chuke. However, Qi Qinggong also asked for the challenge letter sent by Qi Qinggong, so he He happily replied to the Qi envoy and accepted the Qi army's challenge. After the Qi envoy returned to the Qi army camp and reported to Qi Qinggong that Chuke accepted the challenge, Qi Qinggong became angry and sent another envoy to the coalition camp to supplement the reply - the two armies must also be on the battlefield tomorrow. See you!
When the envoy sent by Qi Qinggong went to the coalition camp for the second time, Qi State official Gao Gu, with Qi Qinggong's acquiescence and instigation, went to sneak attack the coalition camp alone without driving or bringing assistants.
Gao Gu took advantage of the unpreparedness of the coalition guards and suddenly rushed into the camp. Then he picked up rocks on the ground and injured many coalition soldiers in the camp. He unexpectedly captured an injured Jin soldier alive and captured the coalition. A military chariot, and then he proudly took the prisoners and drove the chariot back to the Qi army's camp smoothly. After returning to the camp, Gao Gu also showed off to other Qi soldiers, asking those who wanted to be warriors to come to him to buy his extra courage.
Gao Gu could easily break through the coalition defenses, break into the coalition camp and achieve certain results. This was all because the coalition commander Choke deliberately showed weakness to the Qi army before the war to paralyze the vigilance of the Qi monarchs and ministers; even Gao Gu's heroic act was also part of Chuke's plan.
After Gao Gu had just returned to the Qi army's camp, Chuke, who was well prepared, ordered the coalition forces to immediately move their positions and move the camp from the foot of Miji Mountain to Tadi (today's Mashan Town, Changqing District, Jinan) to be stationed here, preparing to rest and wait for work. , waiting for the next attack of the arrogant Qi Qinggong.
After learning that the coalition forces had taken the initiative to retreat under Gao Gu's "one-man camp", the arrogant Qi Qinggong really believed that this was a sign that the coalition forces were unstable and did not dare to easily engage the Qi army; therefore, Qi Qinggong The Duke became even more determined to fight the allied forces led by the Jin army on the battlefield to seize Jin's hegemony.
Therefore, Qi Qinggong, who learned that the Jin army was "cowardly retreating", immediately ordered the Qi army camped at the foot of Miji Mountain to give up rest, and the entire army pursued the coalition forces overnight. They must catch up and destroy the coalition forces headed by the Jin army before they retreated in panic. 'in the process of.
In the early morning of June 17, the eighteenth year of King Zhou Ding (589 BC), after a whole night of rapid march, Qi Qinggong finally led his army to catch up with the allied forces of Jin, Lu, Wei, and Di who were camped in Qudi; that day When the sun was dimming, the two opposing armies had already arranged themselves into neat military formations on the ground, and were about to launch an unprecedentedly fierce field battle.
In order to boost the morale of their respective armies, the chief generals of both sides - General Choke of Jinzhong and Qi Qinggong, the king of Qi, personally went into battle to set an example for their own armies. At that time, the chariot driver (driver) of Chuke was Jie Zhang, and the right chariot (deputy and bodyguard) was Zheng Qiuxuan; while the chariot chariot of Qi Qinggong was Bing Xia, and Pang Choufu was the monarch's chariot right. .
Before the war started, Qi Qinggong, who was full of pride and confidence, issued a pre-battle declaration to the soldiers of Qi to encourage the whole army to fight bravely:
"I lead two or three sons, Gu Jian will destroy them and go to the imperial court for food!" (The origin of the idiom of later generations - 'destroy this for the imperial palace').
Then, before the horses were fully armored, the impatient Qi Qinggong took the lead in driving and launched an attack on the Jin coalition forces facing them.
Seeing that Qi Qinggong had led his troops to attack, Chuke, as the commander of the coalition forces, was not to be outdone, and immediately led the main force of the coalition forces out of camp to fight the Qi army. After the two armies quickly approached and engaged, the battle was very fierce, and the surrounding areas of the land were surrounded. They are the chariots galloping and charging, and the armies of both sides fighting to the death.
During the fierce battle, Chu Ke, the supreme commander of the coalition forces, was quickly injured because he had been on the front line of the battle. An arrow from the Qi army hit his shoulder, and the blood from the wound flowed to the end. Gram's feet.
After being injured, Choke insisted on beating the military drum on the military vehicle and continued to direct the coalition forces to fight. At the same time, he quietly called to his commander, Jie Zhang, and said:
"I was hurt by an arrow!"
But after Jie Zhang heard the call from his coach, he continued to drive forward without looking back, and replied categorically to Chu Ke:
"When the two armies were fighting just now, I was shot through the elbow by the opponent's arrow, and the blood stained the wheels of the car. But I was afraid that you would be distracted after learning about this, so I secretly broke the arrow shaft and continued to fight. I dare not tell you that I am injured; for the sake of our army's victory, you should be patient and continue fighting until victory!"
Zheng Qiuxuan, who was on the right side of Chuke's car and was also on the military vehicle, also encouraged the coach and said:
"During the battle, whenever I encountered a dangerous place, I would take the initiative to get off the vehicle and push the chariot without avoiding the enemy's arrows, in order to get out of danger quickly. You all know these things; the war is now going on. It's an emergency, I hope you can endure the pain, don't slack off, and continue to command us to fight!"
After being inspired by the two men's positive encouragement and deeds, Chuke was deeply moved, so he gritted his teeth and persisted, continuing to beat drums and wave flags, commanding the army to launch a fierce attack on the Qi army.
However, the pain on Choke's body at this time was indeed difficult to insist on beating the drum and waving the flag at the same time, so his chariot leader Jie Zhang tied the reins of the war horse to his left hand, and took Choke's drum hammer with his right hand. , beat the drum instead of Choke; Jie Zhang continued to encourage Choke and said:
"Now, the whole army is watching you. The flags and drums on our car are signs of the army's advance and retreat. As long as there is one person in the car, great things can be accomplished!"
As the current Lieutenant General of the Jin State and the head of the Que family, Choke had been in battles since he was a child and had rich experience. Of course he knew the key to victory in this battle. So, Choke gritted his teeth and persisted, waving his arms vigorously to represent The flags commanded by the Chinese army, in conjunction with the drums beaten by Xie Zhang, commanded the entire army to launch a fierce attack on the Qi army.
Although Chuke, Jie Zhang, and Zheng Qiuhuan cooperated with each other tacitly, fought hard, and used the flags and drums on the vehicle to direct the entire army to continuously attack the Qi army, because Jie Zhang was holding the bridle with one hand at this time, he could not fully control it. The direction of the chariot's travel caused the four horses pulling the chariot to lose control of their reins and began to run wildly, leading Chuke and the other three directly towards the main formation of the Qi army; for a time, Chuke fell into the Qi army's main formation. The heavy siege, the danger of being killed in battle after being besieged by the Qi army, or being captured due to exhaustion.
At the critical moment, the Jin soldiers behind Choke saw such an impassioned scene of the general taking the lead and waving the flag to launch a desperate charge against the Qi army (Choke: I am ashamed. Although I am not afraid of death, I really did not take the initiative this time. (those who launched a desperate charge towards the main formation of the Qi army); then, the Jin soldiers who were inspired by Choke's charge also moved closer to Choke's chariot, and followed Choke's chariot to bravely attack the main formation of the Qi army.
In this way, due to a combination of circumstances, the Qi Army's defense line was broken through by the coalition forces in one fell swoop, causing the entire formation to collapse. The Qi Army's chariots fled in all directions, and it was no longer possible to organize an effective counterattack against the coalition forces.
Qi Qinggong, who was in the big formation, saw that the coalition forces had broken through his own military formation. In order to save the situation, he hurriedly drove to gather the troops in person and prepared to counterattack on the spot. However, the Qi army's defeat was determined, and Qi Qinggong repeatedly Issuing an order to resist on the spot was of no use, and could not prevent the army from rout; Qi Qinggong could only involuntarily be coerced by the defeated army and retreat in panic to the rear.
When Qi Qinggong followed the defeated army to the vicinity of Huabuzhu Mountain (today's Jinan Huashan Geopark), he happened to encounter Jin army Sima Hanjue who was trying to attack the Qi army's formation. Han Jue led part of his army to pursue the Qi army all the way, and after reaching the Huabuzhu Mountain, he accidentally saw from a distance the retreating Qi army's chariot in front, with a flag representing the identity of the monarch of Qi. He was overjoyed. Next, Han Jue came in hot pursuit and wanted to capture the Marquis of Qi alive on the battlefield.
Seeing that the pursuers of the Jin army had arrived, but there were only a few escort chariots around him, Qi Qinggong was shocked and hurriedly ordered his chariot driver Bing Xia to drive away, hoping to get rid of the Jin army's pursuit; but Han Jue pursued him relentlessly. Following Qi Qinggong's car, the two sides chased around the foot of Huabuzhu Mountain three times. Qi Qinggong was frightened and ran away desperately, but he could not get rid of Han Jue's vigorous pursuit.
Just before the war started yesterday, Han Jue dreamed that his father Han Ziyu, who had been dead for many years, came to visit him and solemnly warned himself:
"After tomorrow's war, you must avoid the left and right sides of the military vehicle and stand in the middle to avoid dangerous situations."
Therefore, in the second day of battle, Han Jue changed his original position on the left side of the chariot to drive the chariot in the center to fight the Qi army.
In this fierce chase at the foot of Hua Bu Zhu Mountain, seeing that they could not escape the pursuit of Jin army chariots, Qi Qinggong's chariot officer Bing Xia said to Qi Qinggong in desperation:
"Your Majesty, please hurry up and order the attendants in the auxiliary car to shoot with arrows the man (referring to Han Jue) who is chasing in the middle of the Jin army's car at the front. He is a gentleman (the 'gentleman' here not only refers to 'moral character') "Noble people" also means "nobles with high status in battle"; Bing Xia asked Qi Qinggong to order people to shoot Han Jue with arrows, because he wanted to shoot Han Jue and make the Jin army pursue them. They lost their commander and could not continue the pursuit; Bing Xia and Qi Qinggong did not know at this time that the pursuing Jin general was Sima Hanjue of the Jin army)."
Although Qi Qinggong was arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, he was still a king of a big country, and he still had the aristocratic demeanor and gentleman (high-ranking noble) demeanor that he should have. Therefore, Qi Qinggong did not order the guards to shoot Han Jue, but instead He reprimanded Bing Xia and said:
"You clearly know that the pursuing Jin general is a gentleman, but you still let me order to shoot him with arrows. Isn't this an injustice to me? This is not in line with the etiquette and morality of combat!"
Although Qi Qinggong did not order his attendants to shoot Han Jue (pursuing the man driving in the middle of the Jin army's vehicle at the front), he was not as pedantic and stubborn as Song Xianggong. He naturally knew what to choose in a life-or-death situation - - I just said not to shoot 'gentleman', but not to others!
At the signal of Qi Qinggong, the attendants on the monarch's auxiliary car fired arrows at Rong Zuo and Rong You beside Han Jue; and under the volley of arrows from the Qi army, Rong Zuo on Han Jue's chariot was shot After getting out of the car, Rong You was also shot to death by an arrow and fell in the carriage. At this time, Han Jue was helpless and could hardly continue to drive to pursue Qi Qinggong who was fleeing.
At this time, the Jin general Qi Wuzhang, who was following Han Jue to pursue Qi Qinggong, but lost his chariot due to the Qi army's counterattack (due to the fierce arrow shooting of Qi Qinggong's attendants) during the pursuit, saw Qi Wuzhang during the pursuit on foot. He was the only one left in Han Jue's car to drive (Han Jue's Rong Zuo and Rong You had been killed or injured in the Qi army's counterattack and could not cooperate with Han Jue's attack). It was inconvenient to continue fighting, so he took the initiative to run forward to Han Jue. The application said:
"Please allow me to ride in your car and assist you in the attack."
Han Jue was satisfied with Qi Wuzhang's application, so he immediately asked Qi Wuzhang to get on the car and work together as his deputy. However, Han Jue did not let Qi Wuzhang stand on his left or right, but used his elbows to push Qi Wuzhang to his side. He pushed behind himself and was responsible for raising the flag and guiding other Jin army chariots to fight (the reason why Han Jue did this was because he was warned by his father in a dream before the war started not to stand on the left and right sides of the chariots during the battle to avoid injury. ; Therefore, Han Jue asked Qi Wuzhang to stand behind him to avoid being injured by arrows).
In the hot pursuit of Han Jue and the Jin army led by him, Qi Qinggong used Bing Xia's strategy to 'sneakly shoot' the Jin army's Rong Zuo and Rong You, causing certain casualties to the Jin army and blocking it to a certain extent. Fleeing while fighting, Qi Qinggong almost escaped the pursuit of Han Jue and was about to escape danger.
But just when Qi Qinggong was about to escape to Huaquan on the edge of Huabuzhu Mountain, the horses in his chariot (the horses on both sides when driving) were driving too anxiously because of the chariot driver Bing Xia, and did not have a good attitude. Observing the terrain, he accidentally got caught on the yoke strap by a small branch on the roadside. Bing Xia beat the horse desperately several times, but the horse just circled in place and exerted force, unable to get rid of the entanglement of the branches.
To make matters worse, the father on the right side of the bus, who should have got off the bus at this time to push the cart and get the vehicle out of trouble, was bitten by a poisonous snake during the march the day before and his arm was poisoned, so he did not have the strength to get out of the car. Pushing the car, it was impossible to let the car escape; in the rush, Qi Qinggong was about to be overtaken and captured by Han Jue who was following him.
Just when Qi Qinggong's car was trapped on the side of Huaquan, Han Jue and Qi Wuzhang had already driven to catch up quickly, and led a large number of Jin army chariots to capture Qi Qinggong's car and a few attendants and auxiliary vehicles. The carriage was surrounded by people. At that time, Han Jue's original soldier had been killed in the battle, but his body was still lying in the carriage and was not placed. Han Jue could not bear to push the body of his comrade out of the carriage casually, so he took advantage of the siege. When he was staying in Qi Qinggong, he stopped the car temporarily, then bent down and smoothed out Rong You's body and placed it securely.
Taking advantage of the good opportunity that Han Jue's attention was still on his Rong You body, Qi Qinggong's car on the right side, Pang Choufu, quickly changed positions with the monarch in the car, and stood on the left side of the car, leaving Qi Qinggong He stood on the right side (the reason why Pang Chou's father did this was because he wanted to pretend to be the king when he was surrounded by the Jin army, so that the real king, Qi Qinggong, could muddle through and escape).
After placing Rong You's body, Han Jue continued to drive forward and ordered the soldiers of the Jin army to surround Qi Qinggong's car. When Han Jue saw that Qi Qinggong's chariot had been hung up by branches and could not break free, he immediately got off the car and took out the prepared reins (in order to tie the legs of Qi Qinggong's chariot so that the vehicle could no longer break free). (Moving forward), while taking off his jade pendant and the wine he brought with him, he walked towards Qi Qinggong's car under the high alert of the Jin soldiers accompanying him.
After arriving at Qi Qinggong's carriage, Han Jue first respectfully bowed to the Marquis of Qi whom he thought was the Duke of Qi (actually Pang Chou's father pretended to be him), as a minister would do to meet the monarch, and kowtowed twice in a row; then Han Jue bowed again. Serve wine and jade pendants to the Marquis of Qi (the etiquette regulations at that time); after completing these etiquette actions, Han Jue said politely to the Marquis of Qi:
"We, the prince, sent his ministers here to intercede for the two countries Lu and Wei. Before leaving, the prince specially told his ministers: 'Don't go deep into the borders of the big country (Qi)'"; It is really unfortunate that I happened to meet you here. (Because of the order of the widow) I cannot escape; and I am afraid that if I avoid you without authorization, it will bring shame to the monarchs of the two countries and the brave soldiers who are fighting, so I have no choice but to participate. Fighting, even to meet you; my subordinates are unkind and untalented, and they hold the current (acting) official position because we in Jin State lack talents."
Seeing Han Jue salute him solemnly, and ramble on about such a lot of scene words, Pang Chou's father immediately concluded that this Jin general (Han Jue) must not know Qi Qinggong, so he did the above behavior; in order to Let the monarch (Qi Qinggong) get away quickly, so Pang Choufu, who pretended to be the monarch, put on the airs of a 'vassal'. Not only did he accept Han Jue's worship in a big way, he also accepted the wine and jade pendant he offered, and also deliberately Pretending to be irritable and angry, he scolded the driver next to him (who was pretending to be Qi Qinggong himself) to get out of the car quickly and go to Huaquan to get some water for himself.
The real Qi Qinggong was already in a state of fear at this time. He was afraid that Han Jue would see his flaws and recognize that he was the Marquis of Qi, which would be terrible (being killed by the Jin army would not be a problem, but he would definitely be escorted back to the Jin Dynasty). The army camp is left to the commander Chu Ke to deal with it; meeting the enemy is more embarrassing than death).
Qi Qinggong was panicking when he suddenly heard Pang Choufu, who was pretending to be the king, yelling at him and telling him to go to Huaquan to get water. In fact, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jin general (Han Jue) could not distinguish between true and false. After being allowed to escape in the chaos, I was really surprised and extremely grateful. While feeling grateful for Pang Chou's father's loyalty, I was also hesitant. I didn't know whether the Jin soldiers surrounding me would accept the title of "Qi Hou" ( At the request of Pang Chou's father, the attendant Che You (that is, Qi Qinggong himself) left the encirclement and went to Huaquan to fetch water.
Han Jue, who was under the car, heard that the "Marquis of Qi" in the car was "playing tricks". He had already been captured and was still arrogant. He asked the attendant on the right side of the car to go to Huaquan to get water to drink (actually, he was also saying it for himself), and he couldn't help but Shaking his head and sighing with disdain - how could the king of a country be so devoid of etiquette and harsh in appearance (Qi Qinggong's character was really like this, so saying that Pang Chou's father acted well made Han Jue believe it even more).
But after all, Qi Qinggong is a 'king' and he is a 'foreign minister', and his request for 'drinking water' is not excessive. Therefore, Han Jue did not object to this, but adopted a tacit attitude (that is, he did not Interfere with 'Qi Hou''s scolding of his car driver and let them decide on their own).
Seeing that the Jin army officers and soldiers had no intention of interfering with their "water-getting plan", Pang Chou's father, who pretended to be the Marquis of Qi, was so ecstatic that he continued to scold Che You (Qi Qinggong) in the name of "Marquis of Qi" and asked him to hurry up. Get off the car and go to Huaquan to get some water for yourself.
At the critical moment, the real Qi Qinggong had no time to express his gratitude to Pang Chou's father, so he immediately took advantage of his plan and obeyed the "king's order" to get out of the car quickly, then left in the auxiliary car and left the Jin army in the name of "getting water". of encirclement. Han Jue did not express any objection to this.
Because of Pang Chou's father's wit and loyalty, Qi Qinggong, who was already in desperate situation, was able to survive and successfully escaped from the heavy siege of the Jin army led by Han Jue, avoiding the embarrassing consequences of being captured by the Jin army and humiliated by Choke. In June of the eighteenth year of King Zhou Ding (589 BC), because Qi Qinggong, who was ambitious and coveted the hegemony of Jin, with the support of Chu, sent troops to attack Jin's allies Lu and Wei, so Jinzhong The military general and ruling official Chuoke persuaded Jin Jinggong, the king of Jin, to send troops to attack Qi.

After learning that Jin had launched a huge army of 800 chariots to rescue Lu and Wei, Qi Qinggong, who was still attacking Lu's Chaoqiu, was extremely panicked, so he immediately ordered the Qi army to retreat from Lu; but he failed. Unwilling to give up, he led the coalition forces in hot pursuit and reached Weiguo Shendi (Shandong Shen County) where Qi Qinggong temporarily stationed troops. Qi Qinggong retreated to the foot of Miji Mountain (Qianfo Mountain in Jinan, Shandong), but failed to lead his army to pursue him again.
After being chased by Chuke and his army several times, Qi Qinggong, who was stationed at the foot of Miji Mountain, was very angry. He had no way to release the resentment he was holding in his stomach. He also wanted to have a good battle with the Jin army to see the two generations of Qi and Jin. Who wins and who loses in the battle between the princes and overlords.
Therefore, Qi Qinggong sent an envoy to the camp of the Jin coalition forces and delivered a letter of challenge in the name of Qi Qinggong to the coalition commander Chuke. However, Qi Qinggong also asked for the challenge letter sent by Qi Qinggong, so he He happily replied to the Qi envoy and accepted the Qi army's challenge. After the Qi envoy returned to the Qi army camp and reported to Qi Qinggong that Chuke accepted the challenge, Qi Qinggong became angry and sent another envoy to the coalition camp to supplement the reply - the two armies must also be on the battlefield tomorrow. See you!
When the envoy sent by Qi Qinggong went to the coalition camp for the second time, Qi State official Gao Gu, with Qi Qinggong's acquiescence and instigation, went to sneak attack the coalition camp alone without driving or bringing assistants.
Gao Gu took advantage of the unpreparedness of the coalition guards and suddenly rushed into the camp. Then he picked up rocks on the ground and injured many coalition soldiers in the camp. He unexpectedly captured an injured Jin soldier alive and captured the coalition. A military chariot, and then he proudly took the prisoners and drove the chariot back to the Qi army's camp smoothly. After returning to the camp, Gao Gu also showed off to other Qi soldiers, asking those who wanted to be warriors to come to him to buy his extra courage.
Gao Gu could easily break through the coalition defenses, break into the coalition camp and achieve certain results. This was all because the coalition commander Choke deliberately showed weakness to the Qi army before the war to paralyze the vigilance of the Qi monarchs and ministers; even Gao Gu's heroic act was also part of Chuke's plan.
After Gao Gu had just returned to the Qi army's camp, Chuke, who was well prepared, ordered the coalition forces to immediately move their positions and move the camp from the foot of Miji Mountain to Tadi (today's Mashan Town, Changqing District, Jinan) to be stationed here, preparing to rest and wait for work. , waiting for the next attack of the arrogant Qi Qinggong.

In order to boost the morale of their respective armies, the chief generals of both sides - General Choke of Jinzhong and Qi Qinggong, the king of Qi, personally went into battle to set an example for their own armies.

Before the war started, Qi Qinggong, who was full of pride and confidence, issued a pre-battle declaration to the soldiers of Qi to encourage the whole army to fight bravely:

Zheng Qiuxuan, who was on the right side of Chuke's car and was also on the military vehicle, also encouraged the coach and said:

When Qi Qinggong followed the defeated army to the vicinity of Huabuzhu Mountain (today's Huashan Geopark in Jinan), he happened to meet Han Jue, Sima Hanjue of the Jin army, who was trying to attack the Qi army's formation. Han Jue led part of his army to pursue the Qi army all the way, and after reaching the Huabuzhu Mountain, he accidentally saw from a distance the retreating Qi army's chariot in front, with a flag representing the identity of the monarch of Qi. He was overjoyed. Next, Han Jue came in hot pursuit and wanted to capture the Marquis of Qi alive on the battlefield.
Seeing that the pursuers of the Jin army had arrived, but there were only a few escort chariots around him, Qi Qinggong was shocked and hurriedly ordered his chariot driver Bing Xia to drive away, hoping to get rid of the Jin army's pursuit; but Han Jue pursued him relentlessly. Following Qi Qinggong's car, the two sides chased around the foot of Huabuzhu Mountain three times. Qi Qinggong was frightened and ran away desperately, but he could not get rid of Han Jue's vigorous pursuit.
Just before the war started yesterday, Han Jue dreamed that his father Han Ziyu, who had been dead for many years, came to visit him and solemnly warned himself:
"After tomorrow's war, you must avoid the left and right sides of the military vehicle and stand in the middle to avoid dangerous situations."
Therefore, in the second day of battle, Han Jue changed his original position on the left side of the chariot to drive the chariot in the center to fight the Qi army.
In this fierce chase at the foot of Hua Bu Zhu Mountain, seeing that they could not escape the pursuit of Jin army chariots, Qi Qinggong's chariot officer Bing Xia said to Qi Qinggong in desperation:
"Your Majesty, please hurry up and order the attendants in the auxiliary car to shoot with arrows the man (referring to Han Jue) who is chasing in the middle of the Jin army's car at the front. He is a gentleman (the 'gentleman' here not only refers to 'moral character') "Noble people" also means "nobles with high status in battle"; Bing Xia asked Qi Qinggong to order people to shoot Han Jue with arrows, because he wanted to shoot Han Jue and make the Jin army pursue them. They lost their commander and could not continue the pursuit; Bing Xia and Qi Qinggong did not know at this time that the pursuing Jin general was Sima Hanjue of the Jin army)."
Although Qi Qinggong was arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, he was still a king of a big country, and he still had the aristocratic demeanor and gentleman (high-ranking noble) demeanor that he should have. Therefore, Qi Qinggong did not order the guards to shoot Han Jue, but instead He reprimanded Bing Xia and said:
"You clearly know that the pursuing Jin general is a gentleman, but you still let me order to shoot him with arrows. Isn't this an injustice to me? This is not in line with the etiquette and morality of combat!"
Although Qi Qinggong did not order his attendants to shoot Han Jue (pursuing the man driving in the middle of the Jin army's vehicle at the front), he was not as pedantic and stubborn as Song Xianggong. He naturally knew what to choose in a life-or-death situation - - I just said not to shoot 'gentleman', but not to others!
At the signal of Qi Qinggong, the attendants on the monarch's auxiliary car fired arrows at Rong Zuo and Rong You beside Han Jue; and under the volley of arrows from the Qi army, Rong Zuo on Han Jue's chariot was shot After getting out of the car, Rong You was also shot to death by an arrow and fell in the carriage. At this time, Han Jue was helpless and could hardly continue to drive to pursue Qi Qinggong who was fleeing.
At this time, the Jin general Qi Wuzhang, who was following Han Jue to pursue Qi Qinggong, but lost his chariot due to the Qi army's counterattack (due to the fierce arrow shooting of Qi Qinggong's attendants) during the pursuit, saw Qi Wuzhang during the pursuit on foot. He was the only one left in Han Jue's car to drive (Han Jue's Rong Zuo and Rong You had been killed or injured in the Qi army's counterattack and could not cooperate with Han Jue's attack). It was inconvenient to continue fighting, so he took the initiative to run forward to Han Jue. The application said:
"Please allow me to ride in your car and assist you in the attack."
Han Jue was satisfied with Qi Wuzhang's application, so he immediately asked Qi Wuzhang to get on the car and work together as his deputy. However, Han Jue did not let Qi Wuzhang stand on his left or right, but used his elbows to push Qi Wuzhang to his side. He pushed behind him and was responsible for raising the flag and guiding other Jin army chariots to fight (the reason why Han Jue did this was because he was warned by his father in a dream before the war not to stand on the left and right sides of the chariot during the battle to avoid injury. ; Therefore, Han Jue asked Qi Wuzhang to stand behind him to avoid being injured by arrows).
In the hot pursuit of Han Jue and the Jin army led by him, Qi Qinggong used Bing Xia's strategy to 'sneakly shoot' the Jin army's Rong Zuo and Rong right, causing certain casualties to the Jin army and blocking it to a certain extent. Fleeing while fighting, Qi Qinggong almost escaped the pursuit of Han Jue and was about to escape.
But just when Qi Qinggong was about to escape to Huaquan on the edge of Huabuzhu Mountain, the horses in his chariot (the horses on both sides when driving) were too anxious to drive because of the chariot driver Bing Xia, and did not have a good attitude. Observing the terrain, he accidentally got caught on the yoke strap by a small branch on the roadside. Bing Xia beat the horse desperately several times, but the horse just circled in place and exerted force, unable to get rid of the entanglement of the branches.
To make matters worse, the father on the right side of the bus, who was supposed to get out of the car at this time to push the cart and free the vehicle, was bitten by a poisonous snake while marching the day before and his arm was poisoned, so he did not have the strength to get out of the car. Pushing the car, it was impossible to let the car escape; in a hurry, Qi Qinggong was about to be overtaken and captured by Han Jue who was following him.
Just when Qi Qinggong's car was trapped on the side of Huaquan, Han Jue and Qi Wuzhang had already driven to catch up quickly, and led a large number of Jin army chariots to capture Qi Qinggong's car and a few attendants and auxiliary vehicles. The carriage was surrounded by people. At that time, Han Jue's original soldier had been killed in the battle, but his body was still lying in the carriage and was not placed. Han Jue could not bear to push the body of his comrade out of the carriage casually, so he took advantage of the siege. When he was staying in Qi Qinggong, he stopped the car temporarily, then bent down to smooth out Rong You's body and place it securely.
Taking advantage of the good opportunity that Han Jue's attention was still on his Rong You body, Qi Qinggong's car on the right side, Pang Choufu, quickly changed places with the monarch in the car, and stood on the left side of the car, leaving Qi Qinggong Standing on the right (the reason why the Ugly Father has to do this is that he wants to fake the monarch by himself when he has been surrounded by the Jin Army, so that the real monarch, Qi Langgong can pass through the level and take the opportunity to escape).
After setting up Rongyou's body, Han Jue continued to drive and directed the soldiers of the Jin army to surround the car of Qi Yanggong. When Han Jue saw Qi Langgong's military car that was hung and could not break free, he immediately got out of the car and took out the prepared reins (so as to tie the horse's horses of Qi Qing Gongzhe, so that the vehicle could no longer be unable to no longer be Go forward), take off his jade pendant and the wine brought by him, and go to the seat of Qi Yanggong in the high alert of the hands of the soldiers of the Jin Army.
After coming to Qi Yanggong's car, Han Jue first worshiped the monarch's gift to Qi Hou (actually dressed by the ugly father) he thought, and worshiped twice in a row; then Han Jue worshiped again. Give Qi Hou (the etiquette regulations at the time); after doing these etiquette movements, Han Jue politely said to 'Qi Hou':
"We widowed the ministers came to see it for the sake of Lu and Wei. Before leaving, the widow also specifically explained the subordinates and said:" Don't penetrate the national realm of the big power (Qi Kingdom) '; Unfortunately, I happen to meet you here (because the order of the widow) cannot be avoided; and the subordinates are afraid of avoiding you without authorization, which will bring a shame to the monarchs and the soldiers of the two countries. Fighting so that I will meet you; the subordinates are not benefited and do not, and serve as the current official position of this (agent), but we lack talents in the Jin Dynasty. "
Seeing Han Jue's saluting herself seriously, and saying that on such a large chase scene, the ugly father immediately concluded that the Jin army (Han Jue) must not know Qi Qinggong, and then he had the above behavior; for the sake of the above behavior; in order Let the monarch (Qi Langgong) get away, so the ugly father who faked the monarch put on the shelf of 'princes', not only accepted Han Jue's worship, but also took the wine and jade he had served. Pretending to be irritable and angry, he scolded the right of the car around him (that is, the fake of Qi Luan Gong), and quickly got out of the car and went to Huazhuang to drink water to drink.
The real Qiyi Gong was already a state of fright at this time, for fear of being seen by Han Jue, and recognizing that he was Qi Hou, but it would be bad (it was not killed by the Jin Army, but he would definitely be escorted to Jin Jin back to Jin. The military camp, handed over to the coach but handed over; when you meet the enemies, aren't that more embarrassing than death).
Qi Yanggong, who was anxious, suddenly heard the ugly father of the counterfeit monarch scolded himself and told himself to go to Huazhuang to drink water to drink. In fact, he wanted to take advantage of the Jin army (Han Jue) to distinguish between truth and falsehood. After letting myself escape the 'scolding sound', I was really surprised and grateful in my heart. I was hesitant and hesitated when I felt loyal to the ugly father. The request of the Ugly Father) left the servant car (that is, Qi Langong himself) to leave the encirclement circle and go to Huazhuang to drink water to drink.
Han Jue under the car heard the 'Qi Hou' on the car 'in' '', and she has been captured and has been proud of it. She asked the attendant to go to Huazhuang to drink water (actually to hear himself). Shaking his head and sighing and contempt -how the monarch of a country lacks etiquette and lustfulness (Qi Qinggong's character is really like this, so he said that the ugly father performed well, making Han Jue even more believed).
However, Qi Cai Gong is' Jun ", and he is a 'foreign minister'. He has no requirements for" drinking water ". Therefore, Han Jue did not oppose this, but adopted an attitude of acquiescence (that is, no, no, no Interference 'Qi Hou''s scolding of the right of their car made them decide by themselves).
Seeing that the soldiers of the Jin army did not interfere with the meaning of "taking water and taking water", they faked Qi Hou's ugly father's ecstasy in their hearts, and continued to scold the right (Qi Langgong) in the name of "Qi Hou", and let him hurry up, and let him hurry up. Get off the car and go to Huachuang to drink water to drink.
At the moment of the moment, the real Qi Qinggong was too late to express his gratitude to the ugly father. He immediately planned to obey, follow the "Destiny of the King" to get out of the car, and then leave in the name of "picking water". of encirclement. Han Jue did not oppose it.
Because of the wisdom and loyalty of the ugly father, Qi Qinggong, who was already in despair, was able to live in the Jedi. He successfully escaped from the siege of the Jin army led by Han Jue, avoiding the embarrassment of being captured by the Jin army and being humiliated.
