The grain transport team completely entered the valley. The prince's division stood on the top of the mountain and ordered the Prime Minister next to him: "Put your bags in, close the door and beat the dog." There were ambushes all around, and the flags were waving. The grain transport team in the valley began to panic and shouted: "We have fallen into a trap." The young general turned his horse's head and said: "Guard the grain and grass." The army protected the grain and grass carts, preparing to fight. The cockroach soldiers above the valley swooped down and fought with the hornet soldiers and ant soldiers protecting the food. The grain transport team fought to the death, with long soldiers fighting each other. The young general rode on a war horse and charged, scattering a small group of cockroach soldiers. The war horse came at a high speed, and with one hoof, it could be trampled into flesh. When the long sword came out, it slashed across the chest, blood splashed, and broke through the heavy siege. . The Prime Minister saw that this young general fought bravely and had unstoppable momentum. Shoot cold arrows in the back and kill the young general by shooting him off his horse. The grain transport team was besieged and heavily pressed on. The ant soldiers and hornet soldiers who were transporting food fell into a pool of blood one after another, and no one escaped.
Transport the grain and grass back to Yongcheng, leaving a small group of cockroach soldiers to clean the battlefield. Bodies can be seen everywhere in the valley. Some are huddled together and biting each other. Some are missing arms or legs, some are missing limbs, some are cut in half or decapitated, and some are stabbed into sieves by swords, swords and halberds. , the cruelty cannot be expressed in words, the corpses are like dots lying in the yellow sand or covered by the yellow sand. The first battle ended with the victory of the Cockroach Army. The Cockroach King was overjoyed and placed the corpse for everyone to enjoy. The prince's master was shocked when he saw this, and tried his best to cover up his fear. He sat calmly beside him with his eyes closed and refused to eat. Seeing this, the Cockroach King asked: "Foreign envoy, why don't you enjoy this booty with us?" Xiangguo said at the side: "This is a reward from the king. Sir, you must not let down the king's kindness." The prince's master slowly opened his eyes. , then faced the Cockroach King and said: "Back to your Majesty, our ant clan has no habit of eating the flesh and blood of the same kind, please forgive me." The Cockroach King was happy after hearing this, and said: "I am happy today, don't blame me, sir, you can do it yourself. "He then ordered it to be removed and replaced with a table of insect flesh, leaves and sake for the envoys to drink. Then the Cockroach King asked again: "This time the robbery of grain and grass was a complete victory, the foreign envoy Da Gonggu took note of it. What should we do next? Please give me your advice." The prince's master put down the sake in the cup and said: " A sneak attack on the enemy's base camp will make the enemy suspicious for a long time, and they will be afraid of long nights and dreams. If the enemy has not recovered and attacks with troops, the king will be defeated in one fell swoop." The Cockroach King asked again: "When will the sneak attack be carried out? What's the best?" The Prince's Division replied: "Tonight, we can use the cover of darkness to make the enemy's direction unclear."
When there was no food in the army, they plundered the people's homes and caused another massacre. The people were slaughtered and the Western Kingdom lost its vitality. The food they grabbed was transported to the army to be used as military rations. The military advisor walked in and said happily: "General, the plundered food can last our army for ten days. In addition, the food and grass brought by the termites can last our army for one month. This food and grass is enough to capture a city." However, the food transport team has not arrived yet. , the general is also frowning about this? The military advisor observed the general's face and said, "General, don't worry about this. Maybe the grain transport team encountered wind and waves when crossing the sea or waited until the wind direction changed. Please just wait patiently." The general faced the military advisor and said: " What I'm worried about is when will the reinforcements arrive? Water from far away can't quench the thirst of nearby people!" The military advisor replied: "This place is far away from Qin. The army needs to pass through Han, Wei, Zhao, Chu, Baiyue and other places. It has been ten days now. According to my estimate, we will be able to reach Nanzhanbuzhou in five days and cross the sea to join the general's army." The general raised his head and looked at the soldiers outside the tent and said: "It will take a long time to attack the city. Let's order the soldiers tonight Let us eat and drink well and continue to attack the city tomorrow to deplete the enemy's morale."
As the sun sets, the tide rolls, and huge waves wash over the sand and slap on the shore, like rolling up thousands of piles of snow. The sea is as wide as the sky, and the clouds and waves are connected with the dawn mist, making the water and sky the same color. The wind blew the flags, and suddenly darkness fell, and the army lay in ambush outside the military camp. Waiting for all the enemy troops to sleep in the tent, kill the soldiers guarding the camp, and then attack the base camp, with the sound of killing everywhere. The Hornet Army hurriedly fought, and many sergeants had their throats sealed with swords by the Cockroach Army who sneaked in while they were sleeping, causing blood to splash everywhere. After a massacre in the tent, he flew out and was chopped into pieces by the army of cockroaches guarding the outside of the tent. The general was awakened by the sound of killing outside the camp, called the military advisor, and said: "The army of Ruluo Xizhou is besieged in the city. This, this, where did this army come from?" The military advisor was also confused and said: "General , let’s escape.” The lieutenants on the left and right killed the invading cockroach soldiers, and the general rushed forward under cover, fighting their way out of the encirclement, with the cockroach army in hot pursuit. The left lieutenant said: "General, run away quickly, and the last general will cut off the rear." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and ran back to fight with all his strength. He beat back the pursuers again and again, and beheaded the generals who were charging down one after another. He was also hit by several arrows and rushed out of the encirclement on horseback. In the burning company camp, many soldiers and generals were burned alive in the camp tents, and nearly 800,000 soldiers were lost.
Withered vines and old trees full of crows, the general led two hundred thousand remaining soldiers to escape. Looking at his camp in the distance, thick smoke filled the sky. A veteran came forward and knelt down and said: "General, General Zuo, General Zuo is back." The general stood up excitedly and said, "Take me quickly." At this time, Lieutenant General Zuo was lying on the stretcher. He was hit by several arrows and has been holding on until now, just because he wants to see the general one last time. The soldiers carried the Zuo Lieutenant General and placed him in front of the General, calling: "General Zuo, General Zuo." Then the Lieutenant General Zuo slowly opened his eyes and said: "General, I can no longer accompany you to conquer the countries. , The general is unwilling to give in, not willing to give in!" With a final wailing roar, he died. But it refused to close its eyes and looked up at the sky with wide eyes. The general squatted aside and said: "General Zuo, I will definitely avenge you. You can rest in peace." He gently stroked it with one hand, closed his eyes, stood up and asked the military advisor. , asked: "Where did this army come from?" The military advisor replied: "According to observation, it is an army of cockroaches, in the Cockroach Kingdom in Yongcheng." The general suddenly realized, and stood under the dead tree, saying: "This is the army of cockroaches." The general was unwary for a moment and attacked rashly, putting the army in a desperate situation. He lost his troops and suffered such a disastrous defeat, which is the fault of the general." After saying this, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and prepared to kill himself as an apology. The military advisor and his soldiers knelt down to dissuade him: "General, you can't! What should we do if you leave like this and leave us soldiers behind?" The general looked up to the sky and said: "How do you want me to go back to see the old King of Qin, the father of the Qin Dynasty? Folks?" The strategist continued to dissuade: "Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Why should the general be worried about this? The situation of the war can be reversed." The general put away his sword and sheathed it and said, "The strategist is right." Then Assemble 200,000 soldiers and horses and prepare to attack Yongcheng with all strength. The military advisor stepped forward to stop him and said: "General, no, we don't have enough troops to capture Yongcheng. We must retreat thirty miles to wait for the arrival of reinforcements and then send troops to Yongcheng."
This sneak attack defeated the Hornet, and the whole country celebrated. It also relieved the siege of Beach City and gave them a chance to breathe. The prince's master entered the palace to congratulate and said: "The king's hegemony has been accomplished. He has defeated the hornet and made it unable to compete with the Cockroach Kingdom. The king's position in Yongcheng is as solid as a rock. The mission of the foreign envoy has been completed and he can return to report to the monarch." The Cockroach King regretted a little, and said in a procrastinating manner: "Rong Gu will think about it for a few days, and Rong Gu will discuss the return of the foreign envoy later." Only then did the Prince's Master realize that the Cockroach Kingdom was a kingdom that was not trustworthy, and said: "Your Majesty, When the king calls, foreign ministers dare not disobey." The Cockroach King showed murderous intent in his eyes and said: "I have made up my mind, so the foreign envoy should not discuss it any more." The prince said, "Okay, the foreign envoy is waiting for news from the king in the post house. ." After saying that, he walked away.
At night, the Cockroach King summoned the Prime Minister and asked: "Prime Minister, how about leaving the foreign envoy alone when he returns home?" The Prime Minister also had a hard time making a decision on this matter, and finally slapped the case and said: "We can't let it go back. This ant is such a talented person. If we let it go, we can't let it go." If you go back, you will become a serious nuisance to our Cockroach Kingdom. If it can be used, use it reused, and if it cannot be used, kill it." After the prime minister returned home, he felt uneasy and ordered his servants to arrange a carriage so that the monarch would not be discovered. He went out from the back door and drove to the post. pavilion. The prince's master greeted him at the residence and said: "Prime Minister." Prime Minister said: "The etiquette should be simple." Then the Prime Minister was admitted to the residence. After Xiangguo entered, he was restless and pacing back and forth. The prince's teacher looked at him and asked: "Xiangguo, what happened?" The prime minister faced the prince's teacher and said: "Sir, don't blame me. The King of the Night summoned me, and I advised the king to kill you. I first show my loyalty and then my friendship. Your Majesty, after listening to my advice, wants to kill you. Sir, please run away quickly." The prince's master stood up and saluted, saying: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your warning." Then he took out the Night Pearl and said: " This is the luminous pearl given by King Ruluo Nan to my late king." The prime minister received the luminous pearl and looked at it carefully, saying, "What a treasure!" Seeing that the prime minister liked it, the prince did not say the next sentence for fear of sweeping it away. Feeling excited, he stood up and left. The Prime Minister raised his head and said, "Sir, wait a minute." The Prince's Master turned around and said, "I wonder if the Prime Minister has anything else to do?" The Prime Minister took down the token and said, "With this token, you can leave the city smoothly." The Prince's Master saluted and thanked him. Take the dead man out with you. Xiang Guo bowed in return. After standing up, his face immediately darkened. He smiled secretly and with a gesture, the armored soldiers entered. Xiangguo said: "You can intercept and kill the envoy on the way, and remember not to let him return to Ruluo Xizhou. Otherwise, you will not come back to see the truth. You can solve it yourself. Do you understand?" The armored soldiers replied. "Accept the order." Xiangguo said, "Let's set off immediately." The armored soldiers withdrew. The Prime Minister turned around and held up the luminous pearl in his hand, blew out the candle, and the night became as bright as day. Xiangguo was obsessed with it, playing with it in his hands, and said: "It's gold and silver, it's really a treasure! The insects can't put it down!" Then he sent his soldiers to rush into the post house and kill all the insects on sight, leaving no one alive. Overnight, the posthouse was washed with blood and swords flashing.
