The 800,000-strong army could be said to be the entire strength of the ant clan. They were defeated and fled to the Qingshui River, leaving only a few tens of thousands of troops. There was a rushing river in front of them, and there were pursuers behind them, trapping the army in a desperate situation. Facing these millions of coalition troops, we can only risk our lives and survive, and be prepared for a decisive battle with the enemy. The millions of coalition troops chasing here suddenly stopped. The lieutenant general was a little puzzled. He came up in a chariot and said: "General, why don't you attack them and annihilate them in one fell swoop?" The general stood on the chariot and looked at the ant army. Go and say: "When an army is in despair, they fight our army like wild beasts. Such a reckless attack on our coalition forces will suffer great losses." The deputy general looked at the neatly arranged ant army. , said: "What should the general do?" The general said: "Surrounding the enemy without attacking will consume the enemy's energy. When the enemy relaxes, annihilate them in one fell swoop." The enemy does not move, I do not move, the enemy is like If I move, I will move like thunder and rush down like a flood.

After observing the ant army for a long time, I saw that the ant army was still prepared. The general suddenly had an idea and said: "Let the boats cross the river." The deputy general immediately dissuaded him and said: "No, general. If you let the tiger go back to the mountain like this, there will be endless troubles. It will be even more difficult for us to attack again." The general did not take it seriously and said with a smile: "The general's words are wrong. The enemy troops are now united like a rope and regard death as home. We also know that they want to cross the river more than we do, but there is no way to retreat. If there is a way of life behind them, the morale of the army will be chaotic. , our coalition forces took advantage of the chaos to attack, wouldn't it be beneficial to our army?" The deputy general felt that this statement was reasonable, so he did not stop him.

Send out ships to temporarily give them a way out. Many ships appeared behind the ant army, and the soldiers began to feel confused. They clamored to go home and board the ships first. The ant general drew his sword to stop them and said: "This is the enemy general's plan. If anyone boards the ship, kill him!" Even killing a few soldiers could not stop them from returning home, and they killed each other to seize the ship. Seeing that the enemy troops were in chaos, the coalition forces attacked and the soldiers who boarded the ship were shot and killed. The ant general was surrounded and said: "I regretted not listening to Wen Ding's words, which is why we ended up in today's disastrous defeat." Then he drew his sword and committed suicide.

The coalition forces crossed the Qingshui River and captured the ant nest. At this time, the queen ant committed suicide by taking medicine in her burrow. This aroused the common people to rebel, and the general sent troops to suppress it. If a mile resists, the people of the same mile will be slaughtered. If the people of a city resist, the people of the whole city will be massacred. Thick smoke billows, ruins are broken, and the people in the city are slaughtered. Corpses are everywhere, and blood flows like rivers. The situation has just stabilized. When the army invaded the cave, they burned, killed and looted, and the officials of the Ant Palace were not spared from being massacred. They burned the palace's ant cave, robbed the royal family or their wives and daughters as slaves, and then withdrew the army and headed north.

The ship docked at the port, and the soldiers escorted these civil and military officials, their wives, and daughters. The nobles, royal families, and their wives and daughters slowly boarded the ship. Their wives and daughters suffered all the abuse from the soldiers, and the disabled were thrown into the sea. The ship crossed the Qiongzhou Strait, and all the corpses floating on the sea were fed with fish and shrimp, so they could have a full meal. Countless people escaped, were killed or humiliated along the way. The Cockroach King followed the army and headed north, passing by Zhongshan Kingdom.

They gathered a large army and began to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom. The leader of the Zhongshan Kingdom surrendered without a fight and opened the city gate to welcome the Qin army into the city. The leader of the Zhongshan Kingdom knelt down with hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him and said: "I lead the civil and military officials to greet the general of Qin." Then he bowed three times. The general got off the battle station and stood in front of the Lord of Zhongshan, and said: "The Lord does not need to pay such a courtesy." The Lord of Zhongshan then stood up and said: "I will lead the way for the general." He walked forward and led the way for the general. Enter the palace and hold a banquet in the palace. At the banquet, the lord of the country raised the wine cup and said: "General, you have worked hard on the expedition to the south to see the continent. The way you passed by Zhongshan is the hardship of our country. Please drink this bottle of wine." When the general met the lord of the country, the country The master drank it all in one gulp, and then the general drank the bottle of wine, poured a spoonful into the wine cup, and said: "The master of the country knows the general situation, which is the merit of our great Qin." The master of Zhongshan said: "General The conquest of the six countries made the six countries fear and be close to Qin. The Qin State has a strong military and can unify the world, and the four seas will surrender." The general put down the wine prince and said: "To unify the world and unite the four seas requires the efforts of our Qin generation after generation. Now Zhao Zhao The country's military strength can compete with our Great Qin. Zhongshan is close to Zhao. This requires you, Zhongshan, to contain Zhao so that it has no time to take care of it." Then the general invited the Cockroach King and introduced: "It is a breast milk The Cockroach King of Luoxizhou, now that the Cockroach Kingdom has been destroyed, has defected to me, and now recommends it to the King of the country to cooperate with the King of the King to manage the Zhongshan Kingdom. What do you think of the King of the King?" The Cockroach King knelt down when he saw it, and said: "The King of the King ." The leader of the Zhongshan Kingdom blindly catered to the general. It belongs to a different type of bee family. It belongs to the big-tailed bee, commonly known as the horse-tailed bee. It has a powerful air force. Like the Qin army, it has extremely strong air strike power, but it is sandwiched between It is difficult to survive and develop in the cracks between the two great countries of Yan and Zhao. The only way is to tie up the big tree of Qin, get rid of the threat of Zhao, a powerful military country, and please the general of Qin in both directions, so he said kindly: "Since It is the recommendation of the general, and I will make you the high minister and general of the Zhongshan Kingdom." After hearing this, the Cockroach King was delighted and said: "Thank you, Lord, and thank you, general."

After the banquet, the general was about to leave. The Lord of Zhongshan stood up and said: "General, you are leaving now." The general stood and said: "Master, I, the King of Qin, are waiting for me to return to Qin to report on the battle in the South China Sea. I don't dare to stay here for a long time, so I'll say goodbye." The Lord of Zhongshan walked out and said, "It's better to send the general off alone." The Lord of Zhongshan and his civil and military officials sent the general out of the city. The general stood in front of the army, as if he had something to say to the Cockroach King, and glanced sideways at the Lord of Zhongshan. The Lord of Zhongshan was also a knowledgeable bee. He returned to the city and stood on the tower to watch. In fact, the general did not believe in the leader of Zhongshan, he was just looking for a foothold. This cockroach king encountered the Qin army and almost lost his country, so he was convinced by the general in front of him, and he was even more submissive to the general. Then he said: "What other orders does the general have?" The general said: "You stay and monitor. As the Lord of Zhongshan, if there is any trouble, you can report it to the general at any time." King Cockroach kowtowed and said, "I respect the general's orders." Then the general felt relieved and left with his army. The Lord of Zhongshan stood on the city tower and watched. The inner minister had doubts in his mind and asked: "What did the General of Qin say to this down-and-out Cockroach King?" At this time, the Lord of Zhongshan said: "Order him to monitor Gu. If there is any act of disloyalty to the Qin State, we will lead a large army to destroy it." The inner minister complained and said: "If the king does not resist, he will open the city and surrender." The leader of Zhongshan said: "We can see how powerful the Qin State is. If we resist, there is a risk of annihilation of the country. Zhao and Wei want to destroy Zhongshan and incorporate it into their territory. If we rely on the big tree of Qin, Zhao and Wei will be afraid and dare not send troops to attack us. . Our Zhongshan State has a mutually beneficial relationship with the Qin State. The Qin State uses our Zhongshan State to contain the military power Zhao State and not pose the most direct threat to the Qin State." After saying this, he returned to the royal city.

The army returned to Qin in triumph, and the people lined the streets to welcome it. The King of Qin went out of the city with all his civil and military officials to greet him. When the general saw the King of Qin coming out of the city to greet him in person, he got off the car and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." King Qin first faced the people around him, and then smiled at the general and said, "General, it is not easy to go on an expedition to the countries in the South China Sea. Let's go with the widows. Come into the palace." The general and the King of Qin rode into the royal city in a chariot and held a grand celebration banquet in the palace of the King of Qin. The King of Qin said happily: "General, your hard work in the expedition to the countries in the South China Sea is great!" Then he raised his wine cup to the ministers. The Prime Minister held the wine cup in his hand, stepped forward with a friendly look on his face, and said: "The general's merits are high, comparable to those of our country. I grant him an official position and a fief, and he is a gifted general from the king. Only then can he serve on the battlefield and open up the territory for the king." Expand the territory." The King of Qin turned his attention to the Prime Minister and said happily: "With the words of the Prime Minister, what official position should I confer on him?" The Prime Minister talked about it in the main hall and said: "Wu can stabilize the world, so I will confer him the title of Wu Anjun." King Qin He thought about it carefully and said: "Well, as for Lord Wu'an, I will grant him the title of Lord Wu'an, and give the place of Wu'an to the general as a fief." The general stood up, kowtowed, looked up and said, "I owe all my achievements to the king. Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty is so talented, and your civil and military officials dare not obey your orders." He glanced sideways at the Prime Minister and said, "Your Majesty Qiangang is arbitrary, and little insects dare not slander and exclude ministers in front of your Majesty." The general was also right. This is a side attack. Xiang Guo's face suddenly felt embarrassed, so he had to return to his seat and put down the wine prince.

When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I got furious and threw everything I saw. It was so frustrating! However, all the guests stood outside the hall door and did not dare to enter. The maids were coaxed out, crying. It happened that at this time, a guest didn't believe in this evil and insisted on breaking in. He was blocked by the door and said: "Chang Xumei, you don't want your life. The Prime Minister is furious inside." Chang Xumei rebuked these guests, He said: "You are afraid of the Prime Minister, but I am not afraid of the Prime Minister. Because you are afraid that the Prime Minister will offend you and you don't solve your problems, where is the loyalty you usually say?" The Prime Minister in the hall said: "Sir, Please come in." The long beard pushed the door open and saluted: "Prime Minister." The prime minister then sat down calmly and said, "Sir, please sit down." After the long beard sat down, he looked at the prime minister's face and said "The Prime Minister is still angry about the General." When he mentioned the General, the Prime Minister became angry all over the place and said, "The white male bee is just a wasp raised by General Bai Qi. How dare you How can I tolerate it if you humiliate me in the court?"
