The army escorted the grain and grass into a secluded forest. The general riding on his horse observed the surroundings of the secluded forest, faced the army accompanying him, and said, "This is a good place for an enemy ambush. We must pass through this secluded forest quickly." As soon as the general finished speaking, A hidden arrow flew from the forest, shot through its throat, and it fell off the horse and died. A large army rushed out from the forest and surrounded the large army of grain transporters. The soldiers looked around in panic at the Qin soldiers and shouted: "Guard the food and grass." General Wang Cuo rushed out of the forest in his chariot, stood on the chariot and said: "Those who put down their weapons will not be killed." ." These soldiers stood around the grain and grass, vowing to fight to the death with the Qin army. The Qin army rushed to fight with the Han army who was protecting the food. The defenders in the city were besieged by the Qin army for several months and were unable to escape from the city for rescue. The halberds pierced the armor, and they cut off the approaching halberds and killed several Qin soldiers, who were about to break out of the encirclement. The chariot flew up and knocked them away. The chariots ran over them, and they were crushed into pulp, mixed with flesh and blood. Several Korean soldiers rushed forward with their swords drawn. They raised their swords and looked at the general standing on the chariot. They thrust their spears and threw them several feet away. The general jumped off the chariot and drew his sword to fight. The long sword swung across their throats, and the blood spurted out and fell into pieces. Seeing a blow from a long sword on his head, the general raised his sword to block, then turned around and swung his sword away. They got on the chariot and charged forward. The army guarding the grain and grass was immediately scattered, and the long sword slashed down. The Qin army behind them rushed forward, and when their halberds came out, they pierced their bodies or were decapitated by their heads. Some soldiers fell on the grain carts. The grain trucks were surrounded by corpses. Because these food-protecting troops resisted to the death and refused to surrender, they all died in the battle.
After these Qin soldiers carried away the grain trucks, a small school boy climbed up from the mountains of corpses, looked at the corpses everywhere, and ran into Yiyang and into the city. Entering the general's residence to meet the general, he knelt down and said, "General, the grain and grass were robbed by the enemy in the dense forest outside the city, and the entire army of 200,000 was wiped out." General Duan Cheng was startled and said, "What?" Xiao Xiao was seriously injured and fell down. General Duan Cheng said: "Bring it down to recover from its injuries." He turned around, drew his sword, called the soldiers in, and said: "Take down the traitor Zheng Ming."
General Zheng Ming was resting in the barracks when he was tied up and taken to the front of the army by more than a dozen soldiers who rushed in. General Zheng Ming didn't know why. He looked at General Duan Cheng who was standing on the dianjiang platform and said, "General, why is this?" Duan Cheng pointed angrily at Zheng Ming who was standing below the dianjiang platform and said, " Zheng Ming, you have been greatly favored by your Majesty and don't think about repaying it. Why did you surrender to the Qin army?" General Zheng Ming swore: "I, Zheng Ming, am extremely loyal to your Majesty and have no intention of surrendering to Qin. This will last forever. It’s a lesson.” General Duan Cheng said, “You’d better go back to Xinzheng and explain it to the king.” He then faced the army under the general’s platform and said, “Put it into a prison car and escort it back to the capital.” The general stepped forward to persuade him. "General, don't you want to kill this spy of the Qin army in front of the army?" General Duan Cheng said: "General Zheng Ming is a loyal and good man, so he cannot kill the general. If he is really loyal to me, Korea, and Didn't you fall into the Qin army's plan to alienate you?" The general said again: "We are besieged by the Qin army in the city, how can we get out of the city?" General Duan Cheng said: "Let's take a look first." General Zheng Ming was escorted Before the military camp, wait until dark.
In the middle of the night, Duan Cheng climbed up the tower to look at the Qin army's camp. When he looked away, he saw that the lights in the camp had been extinguished. Facing the general standing behind him, he said: "Presumably at this time, the Qin army in the enemy camp has rested. This is also the time when they are most relaxed. You lead a small team to lurk out of the city. Zheng Ming does not need to ride in a prison car, which will easily be attacked by the enemy. The army discovered it. I hope to reach the capital smoothly." The general behind him said: "Why is the general so sure?" General Duan Cheng said: "The enemy has besieged Yiyang for several months, and today they attacked me to transport food. The army is two hundred thousand. Our army is already exhausted. For the Qin army in the enemy camp, their lights have been extinguished. They are the same as us, and they can leave the city. If the Qin army really comes to rescue, General Zheng Ming will surrender. There is no doubt about Qin. You can leave the city."
A general led a small team to secretly leave the city, and under the cover of night, lurked in a mountain col, watching around, believing that the small team would not be discovered by the Qin army. He took General Zheng Ming and secretly bypassed the Qin Army camp and entered a valley. At this time, he was far away from the Qin Army camp. They should be safe by now. Just as they were relaxing and resting in place, they saw torches being raised above the surrounding valleys in front of them, illuminating the night sky brightly. The general looked at it and said in surprise: "There is an ambush, prepare to fight." A small group formed a sharp formation ready to attack, with shield soldiers in front, archers behind, and halberd infantry on both sides. A large number of Qin soldiers swooped down. The general rode on his horse, pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed forward and shouted: "Fire the arrows." Thousands of arrows were fired, and the Qin soldiers who were charging ahead were hit by arrows and fell down, and the Qin soldiers who were charging behind were able to catch up. The war horses rushed down, jumped over the shield soldiers' guards, and fought with them in front. Behind them, there were elite soldiers who robbed and killed the rear. The escorting army only had more than a thousand insects, how could it defeat the 200,000 Qin soldiers? The arranged military formation was suddenly in chaos, and was hacked and killed by the Qin army wantonly, causing countless casualties. The Qin general mounted his horse and charged towards him. He cut off the Han general's head with the long sword in his hand. He lifted the Han general's head and said, "The general is dead. Put down the weapon in your hand to avoid his death." The halberds around him gradually began to grow. As the enemy approached, the soldiers hesitantly put down their weapons.
Lord Wu An rushed out in his chariot, while the military advisor stood aside. Wu'an Jun, who was standing on the chariot, said: "General Zheng Ming, you are fine." After saying that, he faced the soldiers in front and said: "Go and untie the rope for the general." A soldier stepped forward and cut off the bindings. The rope on General Zheng Ming. General Zheng Ming knelt down on one knee, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, General, for the rescue." Then he stood up and was about to leave. Lord Wu An stretched out his hand and said, "General, wait a minute." General Zheng Ming turned around and said, "General, do you have anything else to say?" Lord Wu An asked, "Where are you going, general?" General Zheng Ming replied, "Back to the capital. I apologize to the king, and I believe that the king will make his own decision." Wu Anjun said with great admiration: "The general is loyal and courageous. In the era of great war, there are very few loyal and righteous people like the general. The general is favored by our Qin army. He was captured and then released safely. Also, your 200,000-strong army of food protectors were robbed by our Qin army outside Yiyang City. Tonight, our Qin army dispatched 200,000 troops to rescue the general. What do you think of this series of things? Will your King Han still believe you?" General Zheng Ming said: "Life and death have their own destiny, and there is no need for the general to worry about it." The military advisor beside Lord Wu An got off the chariot and caught up with him: "General, Lord Wu An is so valued. As for you, you have the heart to abandon Lord Wu An. Are you worthy of Lord Wu An's intentions?" General Zheng Ming was speechless at the words of the military advisor. He turned around and said: "I, I...". "The military advisor continued: "General, you are loyal to South Korea, but they doubt you. Is it worth it for you to go back and die like this? Our Qin State attacked your South Korea and forced your Korean King to negotiate peace. From then on, your South Korea and our Qin State became a brotherly state. You are the hero of the peace talks between Qin and Han, and you have lifted the siege of Yiyang. General, please consider it carefully." General Zheng Ming walked up to Jun Wuan, knelt down and said, "Jun Wuan." Jun Wuan stepped forward and helped Zheng up. General Ming said: "General, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." After General Zheng Ming stood up, he looked at General Wang Cuo who was standing next to him, and said jokingly: "General, do you want to take the head of a dog like me?" Wang Cuo The general murmured at first, and then said: "I won't take it, I won't take it." General Wang Cuo looked helplessly at Mr. Wu An beside him and said, "It dares to make fun of me." Jun Wu An said happily: "You deserve it. Who told you to take the head of the Chong family?" General Wang Cuo said hesitantly: "I, I..." The military advisor and Jun Wu An laughed happily and said: " Our general stood up with his sword drawn, and now he is stammering and speechless."
After all the Qin troops left, a soldier climbed up from the pile of dead bodies, ran back to Yiyang, entered the general's mansion, knelt down and said, "General, General Zheng Ming has surrendered to Qin." General Duan Cheng stood up and said: "Bitch thief, this general will definitely take your head." He pulled out the long sword behind him. At this time, General Duan Cheng was annoyed and regretful. He walked out of the general's mansion to gather the army and said: "Tomorrow we will have a decisive battle with the Qin army." The generals on the left and right stepped forward to persuade: "General, no! At this time, the morale of the Qin army is at its peak. , if we go out of the city tomorrow to fight the Qin army, wouldn't we use eggs to hit rocks?" General Duan Cheng looked at the generals on the left and right, and said: "My army has been besieged by the Qin army in the city for several months. The army is trapped and dead in the city. Only by fighting with them can we have a chance of survival." Then he walked up to the dianjiangtai, gathered the millions of troops in the city under the dianjiangtai, and said: "Generals, there is a siege by the Qin army outside the city. They want to trap us in the city. Our army can survive and fight to the death with the Qin army. Do you dare?" The generals raised their swords and shouted: "Kill! Kill!" Then millions of soldiers joined forces. He shouted: "Kill! Kill!" Duan Cheng looked at the millions of troops under the general platform and said: "Okay, tonight you can kill the thin horses in the city to satisfy your hunger. After eating and drinking, have a good sleep. Tomorrow we will meet In the decisive battle of the Qin army, if Youxin breaks out of the siege, he can fight the Qin army again outside Xinzheng City and drive back the invading Qin army." The generals raised their swords and shouted: "Kill! Kill!" followed by millions of people. The soldiers shouted at the same time: "Kill! Kill!" General Duan Cheng said: "Tomorrow you will be our millions of soldiers from South Korea, and we will attack the Qin army's formation together. Please disperse."
They killed the skinny horses in the city and hung them on the fire for barbecue. The soldiers sat in a circle and ate horse meat while fireworks went up. General Duan Cheng stood aside, poured a bowl of strong wine, walked up and sat between them, and said: "You must eat well and drink well, and kill the enemy well tomorrow." A veteran said: "General, I still have My three sons fought bravely together and never retreated." The soldiers who formed a circle said: "Tomorrow we will fight to the death with the enemy and never retreat." Duan Cheng looked at them, raised a bowl of strong wine, and said : "Okay, you are doing a good job, do it!" The soldiers raised a bowl of wine and shouted: "Do it!" and drank the bowl of wine together. General Duan Cheng said: "Okay, pour them wine." He stood up and patted the veteran's shoulder, then walked towards another soldier sitting in a circle.
The military advisor stood outside the camp, looking at the smoke in the city that enveloped the entire night sky. Wu Anjun came out of the camp and stood next to the military advisor. The military advisor turned around and kowtowed and said, "Master Wu An." Lord Wu An said, "There is no need to be polite, military advisor." They looked at the city together, and the military advisor said, "Master Wu An, please look, is there a fire in the city?" Lord Wu An said, "No. , no, it was the enemy troops in the city who were killing their horses to satisfy their hunger. Tomorrow’s battle will be a cruel one. It’s a pity that Duan Cheng is a good general in running the army. He is a general in South Korea. He is brave and good at fighting. He is a rare general. Now, we still underestimated this General Duan." The military advisor said: "Wu Anjun, I have an idea at this time." Wu Anjun asked urgently: "If you have any ideas, let me hear it." The military advisor said : "If we attack Yiyang at this time, we will catch it by surprise. The art of war is to use surprise to win." After Wu An Jun pondered for a long time, he said: "No, no, if we attack the city at this time, we, the Qin Dynasty, will be trapped in an unjust situation. In this land, the State of Zhao will contact other vassal states to attack our state of Qin, and use the right to defeat the unjust, and the other vassal states will follow suit and become famous." So he gave up the idea of raiding Yiyang. Tomorrow will be a bloody battle. If the military advisor's idea is to raid Yiyang, the Qin army's casualties will be reduced. But Lord Wu'an's killing was too heavy, and his righteousness may be for the sake of Qin's future sweeping away the world, which is justifiable. In the eyes of the vassal states, Qin was a country of tigers and wolves, without any faith at all. Tomorrow's battle will be a brutal one, which can frighten other vassal states, and also make the king of Han fear Qin and Qin's million-strong army, forcing him to negotiate peace with Qin and destroy their plan to unite.
