The chief counselor's eyebrows said: "Prime Minister, the king is old, suspicious and jealous. He knows that his time is running out, so he is testing his ministers to see who is loyal to him, and looking for an excuse minister to assist the new king. After hearing this, Prime Minister Qin said with deep emotion: "You still know the king best."
Bai Gongfeng, Lord of Wu'an, led the army out of Hangu Pass and advanced into Yiyang. The army is approaching the city. The general of Yiyang could not leave the city, no matter how much the troops below the city shouted or insulted him, but the general did not go out of the city to fight, avoiding his sharp edge, thereby depleting the enemy's morale. The Qin army surrounded Yiyang so tightly that not even a fly could escape. Looking up at the city tower, the soldiers on the tower drew their bows and arrows, waiting for the enemy to attack the city.
The Qin army camped outside the city and rested for a day, waiting for the soldiers to eat and drink before they began to attack the city. Lord Wu'an Bai Gongfeng entered the military camp and summoned the generals to discuss the attack on the city tomorrow. Then these generals entered the military camp and said, "Mr. Wu An." Bai Gongfeng said, "Please sit down." These generals sat on both sides. The generals on both sides are also worried about this matter. A general stood up and said: "Wu'an Lord, the enemy general is not holding out, intending to deplete the morale of our army. This will be detrimental to our army in the long run." Another general stood up and said: "General Zifan is right. Mr. Wu'an, how can we lure the enemy's general out of the city to fight?" Mr. Wu'an Bai Gongfeng faced the second general and said, "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Our army's priority is to fight quickly. After I understand the enemy's general, I can then work hard. Capture Yiyang City. If the enemy general cannot hold out, he must be a worm who is familiar with the art of war. He must not attack rashly. Everything should be ready for action." Lord Wu An hesitated for a while and then said: "This time the siege of Yiyang is completed, King Han We must ask King Zhao for help. If King Zhao contacts the army of Wei and Chu to attack our Qin army, then our Qin army will be deeply besieged by the coalition forces. Why are you willing to send an envoy to Zhongshan?" A general stood up and said: "Wu'an Sir, the last general is willing to go to Zhongshan Kingdom." Lord Wu'an Bai Gongfeng said: "Okay, it's you, go and come back quickly." The general knelt down and said: "The last general has given the general's order." Lord Wu'an Bai Gongfeng waved. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead." General Pian exited the tent, fluttered his wings, and disappeared into the night.
Wu'an Lord Bai Gongfeng has been fighting for many years, and he has become more and more stable. He looked at the military advisor standing next to him and said: "Commander, what do you think of my general's arrangement? Is there anything inappropriate?" The military advisor stepped forward and replied: " Mr. Wu An’s arrangement is very appropriate, I have nothing to say.”
The general set out from Yiyang and arrived at Gucheng, the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom, at dawn the next day. The general stood in front of the gate of Gudu and shouted upward, saying: "The envoy of the State of Qin is meeting the king of your country. Please open the gate." Gate." The city gate opened, and General Pian walked into the city in a big way.
Zhongshan Kingdom, 414 BC to 296 BC, surnamed Ji. The Zhongshan Kingdom was founded by Bai Di. It was named Zhongshan Kingdom because of the mountains in the city. The country was embedded between Yan and Zhao. It has gone through three stages of development: Rong Di, Xian Yu and Zhongshan. It has been at war with Jin and other Central Plains powers for a long time. It was once regarded as a serious concern of the Central Plains countries. It has experienced the events of Xing Hou fighting against Rong and Jin Hou resisting Xian Yu.
The general walked into the Zhongshan Palace with his head held high, stood on the main hall, faced King Zhongshan, and said, "King Zhongshan, do you still remember me?" King Zhongshan looked at the general under the main hall and said, "Zifan General, please sit down, General." General Zifan walked up and sat in front of several cases. The King of Zhongshan asked: "Why did General Zifan enter our Zhongshan Kingdom?" General Zifan said: "I have sent an order from your Majesty, the General, to ask the King of Zhongshan to quickly send troops to Taiyuan, the important border defense town of Zhao State, to trap the Zhao army and aid Korea." King Zhongshan immediately said: "Okay, I will send troops now." Facing General Cockroach, he said: "General Cockroach." General Cockroach stood up and stood up, saying: "The last general is here." This General Cockroach was the former King Cockroach, who followed Qin The army withdrew and went north, and now he is a general of the Zhongshan Kingdom. The King of Zhongshan said: "You lead your army of millions of cockroaches to attack Taiyuan." General Cockroach said: "I will obey the order." Then he walked out of the Zhongshan Palace and led the army towards Taiyuan.
The army set out from Gucheng and passed through Lingshou to Que, where they fought with the Zhao army. The cockroach army is approaching the city. Most of the Zhongshan people are cavalry and are good at riding and shooting. The general of the Zhao army stood firm and did not leave the walled city. He knew that the cavalry was good at running but not good at attacking the city. General Cockroach rode out on his horse, looked at the walled city, and shouted: "Get my bow and arrows from this general." The soldier next to him unloaded his bow and arrows and said, "General." General Cockroach took the bow and arrows and drew the bow. He aimed the arrow at the observation tower in front of him. The arrow flew out with a whirring sound and flew towards the observation tower. The soldiers on the observation tower hit the arrow and fell. The general next to him praised: "General, you are really a marksman!" General Cockroach just laughed and passed by, took off the arrow feathers behind him, drew the bow again and nocked the arrow, aimed at the observation tower on the other side, and shot, with a whistling sound. I saw the soldiers on the observation tower on the other side were killed by arrows. General Cockroach pulled out his sword and shouted to the army behind him: "The army is ready and begins to attack the city."
General Cockroach led his army to rush in, each wielding a saber and shouting while riding on a galloping horse. The soldiers on the walled city were already ready for battle. They drew their bows and arrows and hid them in the crenels. When the enemy approached, the guard stood up, drew the sword hanging from his waist, pointed it out and shouted: "Let go." Arrows." The arrows fell like rain, and immediately the soldiers were knocked off their backs. When the enemy attacked the city, rolling stones fell from the city wall, like hail, and many soldiers were knocked off their horses. . The army was frustrated under the walled city and retreated, only to set up camp ten miles outside the city.
When night fell, Que and the garrison entered the general's mansion, gathered the generals and said: "The enemy army was frustrated during the attack on the city. In this attack, the enemy lost 400,000 troops, which must be frightening. Generals, follow my general out of the city tonight for a sneak attack. The enemy's base camp." At midnight, the defender led his army to ambush around the enemy's base camp, waiting for the opportunity. At this time, I saw that the lights in the enemy camp had been extinguished. I believe they should rest at this time. At this moment, tens of thousands of rockets were fired into the enemy's base camp. Suddenly a fire broke out in the camp. The enemy troops became panicked and trampled on each other, killing countless people. The army took advantage of the situation to attack the enemy camp and kill the soldiers guarding the camp. Cut in half. The defenders drove in with their chariots and killed them wantonly. General Cockroach then rushed out of the camp in panic, slashed and killed several soldiers who rushed forward, and asked in a panic: "Where did this army come from?" The general ran back on horseback and said: "General, the enemy attacked me at night Camp, let’s escape quickly, otherwise it will be too late.” General Cockroach had no choice but to mount his horse and charge out under the cover of the generals. One of the generals was shot dead. General Cockroach escaped under the cover of his generals. Seeing that the pursuers behind him were pursuing him, many generals were shot off their horses and trampled to death by their horses. A general came over on horseback and said: "General, run away quickly, we will stop the enemy in the future." After saying that, he rode back on his horse, fought with the enemy, and eventually died in the battle. Chang Ge pierced its chest, picked off the horse, gathered around and chopped it into minced meat. The army invaded the rear camp and burned the granaries, completely cutting off their retreat.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, General Cockroach fled into the dense forest. Standing on the top of the mountain, he saw the Burning Company Camp at the bottom of the mountain. The millions of troops he had worked so hard to manage were ruined by it. It was so heartbreaking! These cockroach armies did all kinds of evil. The Zhao army hated them so much that they were bound and imprisoned under the chariot of Que and the guard. Facing the remaining 500,000 cockroach army, the guard said: "Take them Kill them all, leaving no one alive." Regardless of how these cockroach soldiers cried for mercy, they dragged them out of the wilderness. The soldiers of Zhao State raised their swords and fell, and tens of thousands of heads rolled down one after another. They killed batch after batch, and they fought from dark to dawn before they were all killed. The remaining 500,000 troops were all killed, leaving no one alive.
The whole army was wiped out overnight, and the blood filled the ruts on the ground. The brutality of this battle is self-evident. General Cockroach returned to the burned camp. This place was filled with thick smoke, the smoke filled the mountains, and the ground was full of corpses, piled up like mountains. General Cockroach ate the stumps with tears in his eyes and said: "My army!" A general came forward and said: "General, Zhao Jun has killed all my remaining 500,000 troops. "General Cockroach stood up and looked at the rising sun. He saw the red sun rising from the clouds and surrounded by mountains. General Cockroach looked up to the sky and roared, shouting: "Oh my God! Zhao Jun is so cruel! Kill all my 500,000 troops in one night, 500,000 troops!" The general stood aside and said: "General , it is better to report the battle report of Que and it to the king." General Cockroach glared at the general, pulled out his sword and put it on the neck of the general, gritted his teeth and said: "In one night, our cockroach army was killed by Zhao Jun. Jue, how do you want me to report it? If you tell me why, I, general, will definitely kill you." The general knelt down and said: "General, now only you and me are left. We are still Report it truthfully and ask the king to send an army here to wash away the shame!" The knife in General Cockroach's hand fell to the ground and said: "Report it after you review it. I, the general, are waiting here for you to bring the army." General Pian. He mounted his horse and said, "General, you have to wait for the young general to come back."
The general turned his horse and ran, crossing the winding path, galloping all the way, running non-stop, over the surrounding mountains, jumping over one village after another, even the horse was exhausted, he buried the dead horse on the spot, and walked towards Running into the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, even the shoes were gone. I could only walk forward slowly with bare feet, crossed the river, and entered the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom.
General Cockroach is not having a good time here either. He is hiding in Tibet to avoid Zhao Jun's pursuit. He had no choice but to flee into the people's homes. This was the people of Zhao State. The people here hated it very much and drove it out with sticks. Reluctantly, he returned to the same place and lived by eating carrion on the ground. When he heard that a military chariot was passing by, he immediately hid in the grass. After the military chariot passed by, he would come out from the grass and eat the carrion everywhere, or hide in the crevices of the rocks, spending one dark night after another.
When he returned to Gudu, his feet were covered in blood. It ran for its life and even its feet were worn out. It limped over, stood at the foot of the city, and shouted to the city, "Open the city gate quickly, I want to see the king, open the city gate quickly." Then he rushed forward and knocked on the city gate, shouting: "Open the door, open the door quickly." The soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate and looked at it. Seeing that it was in such a mess, they asked: "What kind of insect are you?" What's the matter, Your Majesty?" The general replied, "I am a general under General Cockroach and I have urgent military information to report."
