Father Fox stood on the tower and said, "Behead!" The insect's head fell from the tower. General Changfeng looked at the top of the city tower and shouted: "Father, mother." Facing the cavalry behind him, he shouted: "The army is attacking the city."
The father of the fox on the city tower killed his parents, which completely angered him. He led a million cavalry behind him to attack the city. This was the most well-equipped cavalry of the Zhongshan Kingdom. Because of General Changfeng’s temporary Lost everything due to anger. They rushed towards them despite the rain of arrows, and many soldiers were shot off their horses by arrows. After attacking the city gate, they pushed big wooden piles and hit the city gate hard. The city gate was quickly knocked open by the army below. It seems that this cavalry is quite fierce, and it is too easy to attack the city. The general next to him felt that this matter was a bit strange, and dissuaded him: "General, it may be a fraud to attack the city rashly at this time." At this time, General Changfeng was blinded by anger and could not listen to any advice. He said: "Anyone who retreats will be killed!"
He led the army to attack the city. Looking up at the surrounding city walls, which were several feet tall, he saw that the city gates on all sides had been closed. A general shouted in panic: "There is an ambush, there is an ambush." Suddenly there was a panic, and the army was in chaos. Many soldiers were trampled to death by war horses. While they were in chaos, thousands of arrows were fired from the city. Millions of cavalrymen fell off their horses, and their shrill cries were heard outside the city. It is said that in order to kill this million cavalry, all the arrows on the city tower were shot. Bodies strewn across the city fell into pieces. General Changfeng pulled out his scimitar and stood among the piled up corpses. Fox's father ordered the archers to draw their bows and set arrows, and was about to kill General Changfeng in the city. The Cockroach King walked out and said, "Slow down!" Then he pulled out the scimitar hanging from his waist. The father of the fox stepped forward to greet him, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, if we keep it, it will cause endless trouble to our Zhongshan Kingdom!" But the Cockroach King said, "I want to personally take off its head and wash away the damage it caused to me that year." insult."
After King Cockroach finished speaking, he walked down the city with his knife in hand, stood opposite General Changfeng, and said: "General Changfeng, you are fine now!" General Changfeng said fiercely: "Traitor, don't you want to Do you want to take my head yourself? Come if you are brave enough, come on!" The Cockroach King drew out his scimitar and came forward, General Changfeng slashed with his sword. General Changfeng used too much force, causing the scimitar in King Cockroach's hand to fly out and fall to the ground, causing King Cockroach to retreat quickly. The Cockroach King was suddenly frightened and looked at the approaching General Changfeng. General Changfeng looked at the Cockroach King with disdain and said, "You still can't kill me." He then looked at the soldiers on the city and his fox son and father, and said, "You can't kill me either. No insect can kill me." He pointed up to the sky and shouted: "Only God, God can kill me." Then he looked up to the sky and roared, then looked down at the corpses of these Zhongshan cavalry with laughter, laughed with tears, brandished his knife and killed himself, and fell among these dead cavalry. middle. These millions of Zhongshan Kingdom's best cavalry did not die on external battlefields, but died in political infighting. How sad! What a shame! The Cockroach King spread out his free hands and looked at the scimitar that fell to the ground. He picked up the scimitar and went forward to chop at the body of General Changfeng. He slashed wildly again and again until he was exhausted and then dropped the scimitar in his hand. General Changfeng's body was basically completely bruised, and he was venting his personal anger. Father Fox led his troops forward, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty." The Cockroach King looked at the corpses on the ground fiercely and said: "Build their corpses into a city wall and let the national insects have a good look. This is what I am doing." There will be consequences for those who oppose you." After saying that, he dragged his tired body towards the Zhongshan Palace.
The Cockroach King entered the palace hall, and the ministers stood on both sides. The cockroach king looked at these ministers, his eyes were very ferocious and terrifying, his eyes were like the evening star killing insects and setting fire. These ministers stood timidly in the court, and no one dared to come forward to speak, for fear that they would be killed if they said some inappropriate remarks. The Cockroach King even smiled sinisterly, with a kind of vulgarity in his smile, and said: "Father Fox, step forward to accept the title." Father Fox stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." Temple Chong stepped forward and read out the decree of the Cockroach King. , said: "My doctor, Mr. Hu Zifu, is loyal to Gu, and offers suggestions and suggestions for me to eliminate the problem of bees. I am very happy about Gu, and I have granted him the title of Prime Minister. Finish!" Hu Zifu kowtowed, then looked up at him and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Cockroach King is a war maniac who wantonly provokes war with Zhao. Zhao State suffered a lot in this war. It could only build high walls and passively defend the city. Zhongshan State had many cavalry, and they were good at riding and shooting, but not good at attacking cities. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Xiao Yi walked out of the mountain temple and looked back at the mountain temple. It seemed that he was leaving here. He got on the boxcar and started to go north. Along the way, he was accompanied by hundreds of disciples and passed through Jinyang. At this time, the State of Zhao was at war with the State of Zhongshan, and its disciples were scattered by the rebel army. The little ant stood among the rebels, looked around, and called out: "Zizheng, Ziwen, Shangfu." Then he looked at the rebels, feeling so helpless. He saw a cavalry running towards it, raising his sword and raising his sword. To chop down, a long sword blocked the scimitar, and the archers behind them killed the cavalry. The chariot came and pulled the little ant into the chariot. There was a general standing on top of the chariot. The general looked at Little Ant and said, "Sir." Little Ant looked at the general and asked in confusion, "I wonder who the general is?" The general took off his helmet and said, "Sir, I am Dao Yan. I have listened to Mr. Dao Yan’s lectures in the mountain temple!” Xiao Yi looked at General Dao Yan and said, “It turns out to be General Dao Yan!” A pair of cavalrymen rushed forward and jumped onto the battlefield. Xiao Yi drew his sword and fought with the car. With a sharp turn, he threw the cavalryman several feet away. The chariot rolled over the cavalry, broke out of the heavy encirclement, paid gold to retreat, and the army retreated. Xiao Yi and General Dao Yan rode into the city in a chariot.
After entering the city, General Daoyan arranged a hall for Xiao Yi to give lectures, and then returned to the general's mansion, with Xiao Yi sitting aside. General Dao Yan looked at all the generals and said: "Zhongshan Kingdom has attacked our Jinyang several times. I wonder what strategies you generals have to retreat from the enemy?" A general stood up and said: "According to the current situation, the only way to weaken the enemy is to hold on. The spirit of the army." After General Dao Yan listened, he turned to Xiao Yi and asked, "I wonder what your opinion is, sir?" Xiao Yi said, "I have the same opinion as this general. The best thing is to hold on." Okay." General Dao Yan said: "I would like to hear the details." Xiao Yi said: "The previous life of the Zhongshan Kingdom was a nomadic people, and later the country was founded. It is still a people riding on horseback, good at riding and shooting, narrow With tight sleeves and trousers, you can draw a bow and nock an arrow when you mount a horse. Although our army has chariots and cavalry to cooperate in combat, most of them are infantry, wearing wide robes and shorts, and are not good at riding and shooting. If the two armies confront each other, the weakness of our army will be fully exposed .Although the Zhongshan Kingdom is good at attacking but not good at attacking cities, the Zhongshan Army came all the way to attack Jinyang. It was just a quick battle and a short-term harassment. A protracted war is not good for the country. I believe that the Zhongshan Army will be defeated in less than half a month. I will retreat." After hearing this, General Dao Yan ordered the army to hold on to the city. Zhongshan State attacked the city several times, but with no results, so he withdrew his troops.
On this day, the prince had arrived at Daliang, the capital of Wei State, and entered the palace to pay homage to the king of Wei. After seeing this, King Wei asked: "Under the main hall is the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom." The prince looked at King Wei and said, "I am the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom. General Cockroach usurped the throne in rebellion. Please send troops to restore our Zhongshan Kingdom." The king said: "If you want me to send troops, how can the prince repay me?" The prince said: "Only if the king of Wei sends troops, our country of Zhongshan will be grateful to you for your great kindness. We, our country of Zhongshan, are willing to serve you Wei." The king of Wei will repay the king of Wei by ceding Shiyi, Fang, Chao and other lands as the territory of Wei." The king of Wei would be happy if he was greedy for the land of Zhongshan, and said: "Okay, regarding the matter of sending troops, I will tolerate the widows and ministers. We will make a decision after discussion. The prince should go back to the post house to rest." The prince bowed and exited the Wei palace.
At this time, the King of Wei could not sit still. He looked at the ministers and said, "My lords, regarding the matter of sending troops to the Zhongshan Kingdom, what are your countermeasures?" A minister stood up and said, "General Cockroach has caused rebellion and sent the prince back to the country to bring peace." Rebellion is justified." These words reached King Wei's heart, and he asked: "Do you agree with the army?" The minister bowed and kowtowed: "Yes, Your Majesty." Another minister stepped forward. Discourage, it is the old prime minister of Wei State. The old prime minister dissuaded: "Your Majesty, don't send troops rashly. Zhongshan State has Qin State. If Your Majesty sends troops to attack Zhongshan State this time, Qin State will send troops to attack me in Hexi, and our Wei State will be attacked from both sides. Your Majesty, please think twice!" "The king of Wei said: "The Qin State was defeated by the combined army of our four kingdoms, and it was blocked in Hangu Pass, so that it did not dare to go eastward. There is no need to worry." The old prime minister stepped forward, looked at the king of Wei, and said: "Your Majesty. , Zhongshan Kingdom has many cavalry, and it is disadvantageous to fight with our army. If the king only wants the land such as Shiyi, Fang, Chao, etc., and does not know that Zhongshan Kingdom is across the Zhao Kingdom, the king will jump over the land of Zhao Kingdom to attack Zhongshan Kingdom, which will offend Zhao Kingdom. , if the Qin State comes to attack our Wei State again, and the Zhao State does not help, our Wei State will be in danger." As soon as the King of Wei heard about the Zhao State, he became angry and said, "Why are you so constrained by being alone as a minister of Wei when you were born? ?During the Battle of Shaoliang, the State of Zhao fought with the State of Qin, and the State of Zhao took the opportunity to capture Anyi. I have made up my mind to send troops to the State of Zhongshan, and there is no need for the old prime minister to persuade him." After finishing speaking, he said: "Where is General Shi Le?" General Shi Le stood up and said: "The last general is here." King Wei said: "You lead our 1.3 million Wei army to escort the prince back to the country and attack the Zhongshan Kingdom." Then he walked to the harem, and the old prime minister jumped up and pulled him The King of Wei held his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, no! Our Kingdom of Wei is not strong enough to send troops." The King of Wei turned around and said, "Old Prime Minister, do you dare to disobey the rebels?" The Old Prime Minister stepped back a few steps and bowed. Shen said: "Old minister, you don't dare." King Wei said: "Anyone who dares to hinder the army from sending troops will be killed!" After saying that, he walked to the harem.
The next day, General Shi Le gathered his army under the capital, with the Crown Prince of Zhongshan behind him and the Gongque driver in front. The prince stood up and stood on the chariot, looked at King Wei standing on the tower, bowed and kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty." King Wei waved his hand and said, "Go." General Shi Le stood on the chariot. Said: "The army sets off."
The Wei State attacked Zhongshan State, leaving the Cockroach King helpless. He asked, "The Wei State army is attacking our Zhongshan State. What are your strategies for retreating?" The people in the main hall were very calm, and no one dared to stand up and speak. The Cockroach King looked at Fox's father again and said: "Prime Minister, do you have a retreat strategy?" Fox's father stood up and said: "Isn't there the Qin State behind the king?" The Cockroach King asked again: "Then the Prime Minister will Why can Chong be sent as an envoy to Qin?" Fox Father raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend a Chong to you, and you can borrow Qin soldiers." King Cockroach asked, "What kind of Chong?" Fox Father said: " It is a business insect of the Qin State. It has been engaged in horse business in Zhongshan State for many years. It is now in the palace of the minister. The minister treats it as a first-class guest. It is the only one who is sent to the Qin State." After hearing this, the Cockroach King was very happy. Said: "Okay, Xuan Qin Guo Shang Chong came to the palace."
At this time, Qin Shang was standing outside the main hall. Hearing the Cockroach King's summons, he slowly walked up the stone steps and entered the Zhongshan Palace. Most of the Zhongshan Palaces are yurt buildings. Standing in front of the Zhongshan Palace, you will see snow-white palace walls, towering doors, and white elements as the main color of the palace. Especially in the sunset, it is like the Buddha's light shining on the earth, which looks very holy. Stepping into the palace gate, you will see a Chongtian Gate made of bluestone. It is obvious that the Zhongshan Kingdom was influenced by the culture of the Central Plains and established an official system. Carvings on Chongtian Gate include the sun, moon, clouds, flowers, fish, birds and beasts, reflecting their worship of nature, which means reverence for heaven and earth. Passing Chongtian Gate are the surrounding military tents. In the middle of the military tent is the main tent, the Zhongshan Palace. Above the Zhongshan Palace, there is a sculpture like an eagle spreading its wings, which is also called the Eagle Tent.
