Fa Zhang was enshrined in the Qin State's political reform, and in the imperial court, the King of Qin granted Fa Zhang the title of Zuo Shu Zhang. The King of Qin sat in the main hall and asked: "Chief Zuo wants to change the law in our Qin country. I don't know how to change it?" Fa Zhang walked up and said: "Your Majesty, give me five years. Our Qin country will change its customs and make the people rich and prosperous." , the country became prosperous and powerful, and the princes attached themselves to it. In the first to two years, the household registration was reformed, the Shiwulian sitting method was implemented, military laws were issued to reward military merit, the system of senior ministers and senior officials was abolished, twelve ranks of nobility were established, private feuds were severely punished, and those who worked in farming and weaving were rewarded Farming was suppressed and business was suppressed, and the previous Qin Dynasty was further improved. It took another three to four years to open the border and seal off the territory, abolish the mine fields, control the farm fields, allow private ownership of land and its trading, implement the county system, and initially create taxes. Unify weights and measures, and burnt fields. The poems and writings clarify the laws, prohibit private relationships, prohibit wandering eunuchs, enforce household divisions and prohibit fathers, sons, and brothers from living together. Use the last year to regain the lost land in Hexi and restore Duke Mu's hegemony." After hearing this, King Qin stood up and said, "Okay, Ignorance. I will give you five years. What should you do if you fail to become a minister in five years?" Fa Zhang first faced the ministers, and then faced the King of Qin and said, "I would like to issue a military order here. If you fail to succeed in five years, I will sacrifice my head to the Dharma." The King of Qin looked at Fa Zhang and said, "Okay, I will take note of your words." Then he turned to Little Changfeng and said, "Little Changfeng comes forward to listen to the seal." Little Changfeng stepped forward, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty. ." King Qin said: "You have merit in recommending me, sir. I will grant you the title of Zuo Geng and assist Zuo Shuchang in drafting laws." Xiao Changfeng knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he was promoted to Xianyang Order.
Zisang rested his troops and horses in Hexi for several months. Now he has restored his fighting strength. After handing over with the officials who took over, he led the army back to Daliang, the capital of Wei. The troops left the city in Hexi and rushed towards Daliang, the capital of Wei. Prime Minister Tusu went out of the city to greet him, stood under the city gate and looked forward. He asked the official standing next to him: "Where is the Prime Minister now?" The official next to him looked forward and said: "It should be there soon." Then he looked at the King of Wei standing on the tower. Then some guards rushed up and stood in front of the Prime Minister Tu Su and the ministers. They dismounted and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty." Then they bowed to Tu Su and the ministers and said, "Prime Minister, you gentlemen, the Prime Minister will be with you later." We're here." King Wei, who was standing on the tower, said, "I know I'm aware of this, please step back first."
Zisang led the army out of the rolling mountains and slowly appeared in their sight. Zi Sang stood on the chariot and looked far away at Daliang, the capital of Wei. The capital of Wei was surrounded by mountains. Zisang led the army to advance slowly and stood under the city tower in front of Tu Su and other ministers. After getting off the chariot, he knelt down with the army behind him, looked up at the King of Wei standing on the tower, kowtowed and shouted: "My king will live forever." The army behind him shouted together: "My king will live forever, my king will live forever. "The echoes are endless. The King of Wei spread his arms and said: "Prime Minister, my officers and men of Wei, please stand up." Zi Sang stood up together with the army behind him. Tu Su came forward and kowtowed and said: "Prime Minister." Zi Sang returned the salute and said: "On behalf of the Prime Minister." He then looked at the ministers behind Tu Su and kowtowed: "You great insects." The ministers thanked you again and said: "Prime Minister. Tu Su stepped forward and said: "Prime Minister, you are finally back. I can relieve myself of the heavy responsibility." Zi Sang said jokingly: "During the time when the Prime Minister was in power, you had your own way of doing it. I think you are qualified to be the Prime Minister." Position." Tu Su smiled and said: "If it is okay for me to govern the place, Anbang and Dingguo will have a hard time." King Wei walked down the tower and stood behind them, silently. Zisang and Tusu only chatted and laughed among themselves, not knowing when King Wei stood behind them. Zi Sang and Tu Su turned to look at the King of Wei who was standing behind them. They knelt down with his ministers and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude." The King of Wei helped the Prime Minister Zi Sang and the Dai Prime Minister Tu Su to their feet and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being so rude." Your Majesty, please make peace with yourself." He then looked at the ministers who were kneeling behind them and said, "My dear lords, please make peace with yourself." Then the King of Wei faced Zi Sang and Tu Su and said, "My dear sirs, as long as you are here to help me, what can I do? Worried about the failure of hegemony. The defeat of the powerful Qin State in Hexi was all due to the reform of the Prime Minister." Zi Sang said very humbly: "I dare not be greedy for heaven's merit. The reason why the reform can be carried out smoothly in Wei State is also due to their contribution. ." King Wei sighed and said: "It is rare for the Prime Minister to take credit but not be proud of himself. It is so rare!" Then he turned to Tu Su and said, "Tu Aiqing, you and the Prime Minister can enter the palace with the widow."
King Wei walked towards the palace of King Wei with Zisang, Tu Su and the ministers behind him. King Wei entered the palace of King Wei with them. The King of Wei walked up and sat down in front of several cases and said, "Xiangguo, you can attack the Zhongshan Kingdom now." Zi Sang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we must first recover the lost territory of Anyi, and then attack the Zhongshan Kingdom. "The king of Wei looked at Tu Su and said, "What do you think about this?" Tu Su stood up and said, "I agree." The king of Wei asked again, "Xiang Guo, who will be your general? Attack Anyi." Zi Sang looked behind him. Go and say: "Make Tu Su the general." King Wei looked at Tu Su and said: "Tu Qing comes forward to accept the title." Tu Su stood up and kowtowed: "I am here." King Wei said: "Make Tu Su the general and immediately send troops to attack An. Yi." Tu Su bowed and saluted, saying: "I accept the decree." Then he left the Wei palace.
General Tu Su led an army of 500,000 to attack Anyi, which Zhao had conquered, and regained the lost territory. The next day the troops came to the city. After a night of rapid march, they arrived at Anyi City the next day and began to attack the city. The army formed a formation outside the city and advanced slowly, with shield soldiers in front and chariots and cavalry rushing out from both sides. The defenders on the city began to fire arrows, and a sudden volley of arrows shot through their armor, causing them to fall off their horses or chariots one after another. Behind them, a large army rushed out, pushing out siege engines. Behind these charging armies, the Chinese army formed a square formation and stood ready. Before the trebuchet launches out of the square formation, it throws stones at the city tower, destroying the buildings on the city tower or knocking over the iron pots on the city wall. Many soldiers were injured or killed. The oil pan rolled down from the shelf, burning the body and emitting green smoke. The city was filled with complaints. Under the cover of trebuchets, the army attacked the city tower. Logs hit the city gate, siege engines rolled out ladders, and the army attacked the city wall and fought with the defenders on the city. The city gate was quickly knocked open, and the army from behind attacked the city together. Seeing the situation, the defender abandoned the city and fled, causing Anyi to fall.
Tu Su led an army of 500,000 to capture Anyi in one day with lightning speed, creating a miracle in the history of war. Later, Tu Su was granted the title of Anyi Order and governed Anyi. Anyi, the name of an ancient city, was one of the capitals of the Xia Dynasty. After the Xia Dynasty king Qi pacified the Youhu Rebellion, he moved the capital from Yangzhai to Anyi. During the Warring States Period, Anyi was the early capital of the Wei State. King Wei Hui moved to the current capital of Daliang in the 31st year of his reign. King Wei Hui was also called King Hui of Liang. Anyi is Wei's rear base. Zhao Jun's capture of Anyi is equivalent to inserting a sharp sword in Wei's rear. It can prevent the Qin army from leaving Hangu Pass and monitor all Wei's movements. There are advantages and disadvantages. Anyi is deep in the hinterland of Wei State and faces the powerful Qin in the west. This is also the reason why Anyi fell quickly. Once the rear base is stable, we can send troops to attack Zhongshan Kingdom.
The King of Wei personally conquered the country and appointed Zi Sang as the general in charge of the expedition. He left the prince to supervise the country and the old prince to assist in the administration. The Wei army set out from Daliang and approached Gucheng, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom. The chariots crossed the territory of Zhao State and fought with the cavalry of Zhongshan State in the four fields. The Wei army formed a square formation to confront the Zhongshan Kingdom's cavalry. The King of Wei stood on the chariot and said to the army behind him: "In front are the cavalry of the Zhongshan Kingdom." The heavy armored infantry stepped forward, spears straight out, and slowly advanced. The cavalry of the Zhongshan Kingdom rushed over and penetrated into the central square formation of the Wei army. The square formation immediately turned into a round formation, dividing the cavalry of the Zhongshan Kingdom into dumplings. The cavalry rushed rampantly in the circular formation and crashed into the shield soldiers. Chang Ge came out from behind the shield and broke the horse's legs. Suddenly the horse neighed and fell over, and the cavalry fell down. The shield soldiers moved closer to the center, spears thrust out from all directions, and blood splattered. There were large armies charging back and forth around the circular formation, joining forces and gathering together. This cavalry is very brave in combat and is good at riding and shooting. Many generals were shot over by flying hidden arrows and rushed towards the central army. General Le Sheng came forward to ask for a fight and came flying over in his chariot. General Le Sheng stood on the chariot and drew his bow and arrows. The cavalry in the front fell off their horses, and avoided the flying hidden arrows, charging back and forth to kill the enemy troops. The scattered army reorganized into a phalanx. The crossbowmen stepped forward, drew their bows and nocked arrows, and arrows flew out like dark clouds covering the ground. Immediately, insects turned on their backs and dust flew into the sky. Le Sheng drove his chariot back and forth among the army, but his horse was knocked over by the galloping chariot. This cavalry was attacked repeatedly by the Wei army's formation, and was defeated for thousands of miles. Later, it was pursued by the Wei army. There were countless casualties along the way, and soon the troops came to the city. The army surrounded Gucheng, and the siege was impenetrable.
Before the arrival of the army, the Cockroach King led his concubines and nobles to escape from Gucheng overnight. People and soldiers rushed behind him, and the city was in panic. The Cockroach King ordered the guards around him to massacre the people and soldiers in the city, which turned into an insect hell overnight, with burning, killing and looting everywhere. The Cockroach King took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the city. Then came the siege.
The siege lasted for several months, and there was already a shortage of food in the city. The defenders in the city relied on eating grass roots and bark to satisfy their hunger. Some even captured the old, weak, women and children in the city to eat first. There was a phenomenon of insects eating insects in the city.
The King of Wei sat in the military tent, looked at Zi Sang and said: "Prime Minister, our army has besieged Gucheng for several months. Now we can attack the city." Zi Sang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have a detailed report. The King of Zhongshan has escaped from Gucheng, and the enemy army has lost the strength to support it. Now there is no food in Gucheng, and even the grass roots and bark in the city have been eaten away, and the phenomenon of insects eating insects has begun to appear. Setting up a pot to cook rice, so that Let the army have a good meal and rest for a night. We can attack the city tomorrow." King Wei nodded repeatedly and said: "The Prime Minister is right. The army has been tired after a long journey. Let the army rest for a night and have a good meal." Dun, let’s attack the city with all our strength tomorrow.”
In the military camp of Wei State, piles of fires were lit, and they began to make rice. They killed the thin horses and cooked a pot of horse meat soup. King Wei and Zisang walked out of the military camp. The soldiers knelt down together and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister." King Wei looked at these soldiers and said, "My officers and men of the great Wei Kingdom, you have worked hard." These soldiers stood up and said: "It's not hard for us to open up and expand the territory for your great king." King Wei looked at them with great satisfaction and said: "You are good men of my great Wei State. The people of Wei State will be proud of you. You are my The hero of the Wei Kingdom." Then he stepped forward, picked up a bowl of wine, and said, "Let's drink this bowl of wine." These soldiers all looked at Zi Sang standing aside and said, "During the march and fighting, The Prime Minister does not allow us to drink, for fear that we will miss the opportunity to fight." King Wei looked at Zi Sang and said, "Prime Minister, can they drink?" Zi Sang replied, "Yes." Then he looked at the army and said, "You can drink, but not too much. Drink, there is still a powerful cavalry in the city. They are at the end of their rope and will make a desperate attack on my camp. Tonight is the most critical moment, so you must be alert."
King Wei and Zi Sang went to the wounded soldiers camp to visit the injured soldiers. The King of Wei called the military doctor and asked: "How are their injuries?" The military doctor looked at the wounded soldiers and said: "Your Majesty, some of their legs were sawed off, and some of them were painfully alive or suffocated to death due to excessive bleeding." A veteran climbed up and hugged King Wei's thigh and said: "Your Majesty, I would rather die on the battlefield than live like this." Another wounded soldier said: "Your Majesty, look at our legs. If it's broken, just kill us. If we stay, we will be a burden to our Wei State." Zi Sang helped the old soldiers to lie on the floor, then faced the wounded soldiers and said: "In attacking Zhongshan State, you have done a great service to our Wei State. Yes, why would your Majesty kill meritorious soldiers?" King Wei said: "I promise you that after the Zhongshan Kingdom is destroyed, I will bring you back to Wei safely and receive titles according to your merits."
As expected by Zi Sang, the cavalry in the city attacked the Wei army's camp. Under the cover of night, they ambush outside the camp, shoot and kill the soldiers on the watchtower, and then a cavalry group attacks the Wei army camp.
