When an army is desperate, they will fight their way out, put themselves to death and survive, and attack the Wei army camp at night. A few hidden arrows flew in the night, killing several soldiers guarding the military camp, and a cavalry group entered from outside the military camp. But there were already empty camps here. The cavalry general said in panic: "No, we have fallen into the enemy's trap. Quick, quick, withdraw from the enemy camp." As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of arrows were fired around him. The cavalry in the middle of the camp were hit by arrows and fell off their horses one after another. Zisang led the army to rush out, surrounded him and said, "General Gou Mang, your king has fled and is destined to perish. There is no point in resisting in vain." General Gou Mang was still riding on his horse. Gou Mang went up and said, "You must be the Prime Minister of Wei." Zi Sang replied, "Exactly." Gou Mang faced the few remaining cavalry behind him and said, "Let's fight out." These cavalry pulled out their sabers and fought with them. General Le Sheng rushed out in his chariot and shouted: "Take your life." He waved the spear in his hand, picked off a few cavalry, and fought with General Gou Mang. The chariots and horses ran out together, and the spear in General Le Sheng's hand was shot out, piercing the armor, and he was dismounted. General Gou Mang died in the battle, and all the cavalry he brought with him were shot.
Then, King Wei drove out, looked at the corpses lying on the ground, and said: "This is the only cavalry in Zhongshan Kingdom." Zi Sang said: "Your Majesty, there are not many soldiers in the city anymore." He faced these bodies again. The army said: "The army can rest. We can attack the city tomorrow." General Le Sheng stepped forward and asked: "Xiangguo, do you think the enemy will attack again?" Zi Sang said: "Gou Mang is Zhongshan. The country's great general, what it brings is an elite cavalry, the failure of this night attack gave the enemy the illusion that our army must be on guard, and no large army will leave the city, but we still cannot relax."
The attack on the city began in the early morning of the next day. The army gathered under the city and the two wings of the army rushed out. There is an insect standing on the city tower. He is the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister of the Zhongshan Kingdom forces the people in the city to defend the city for him. He stands on the city tower and looks at the army of the Wei army rushing out of the formation. Logs and boulders are smashed down, and the army attacks. The city was blocked. General Le Sheng drove his chariot forward, looked at the Prime Minister standing on the tower, and said: "Ju Chong, when I attack the city, I will behead you." The Prime Minister looked at the Prime Minister standing below the tower. General Le Sheng drew his bow and arrow, and shot the beast in the chest with a concealed arrow. General Le Sheng broke the arrow shaft, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted: "The army is attacking the city." There was a Wei army formation in the rear, a trebuchet was launched, and huge rocks were thrown out. The army under the city continued to attack the city, pushed out logs and knocked open the city gate, and took the lead in attacking the city. Seeing the situation, Xiangguo fled, and the army behind him attacked the city, and Gucheng fell quickly.
All the houses of the people in the city were demolished, and the Prime Minister of Zhongshan Kingdom was really hateful. The King of Wei stood on the city tower. Zi Sang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the people guarding the city are all the people in the city." The King of Wei was very angry and said, "Then massacre all the people in the city." Zi Sang immediately dissuaded him. : "Your Majesty, no! These people are being coerced by the Prime Minister of the Zhongshan Kingdom. These people are innocent." King Wei said: "What does the Prime Minister think?" Zi Sang said: "The Prime Minister of the Zhongshan Kingdom is not a cockroach, and the people are innocent." How disgusting it is, now it has nowhere to hide, immediately send troops to hunt down Prime Minister Ju Cockroach." Le Sheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is better for you to go after the enemy Prime Minister." Zi Sang stood up and faced Le Sheng The general looked at him and said, "General Le was injured by an arrow and should take a good rest." General Le Sheng laughed and said, "It's not serious. It's just enough to avenge an arrow." King Wei said: " Okay." Then he turned to Zi Sang and said, "Prime Minister! If General Le Sheng is not allowed to go, he will feel uneasy." Zi Sang faced General Le Sheng and said, "The one who stands with his sword across the horse is also General Le Sheng. . Well, general, please pay attention to your injuries!" General Le Sheng patted his chest and said: "Xiangguo, don't worry." Then he kowtowed to the King of Wei and said: "The last general has the order." General Le Sheng led his troops down the tower and hunted down the Prime Minister of Zhongshan Kingdom, Ju Chong.
Cockroaches are like rats on the street, they cry out to be beaten. When it escaped into a house and had to hide for some time, the family refused to take it in and was about to kick it out of the house. Ju Chong pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed at the resident. After hearing the news, General Le Sheng and his troops came over and said, "Ju Chong, I want to see where you can escape. You have no way to escape. You must die." General Le Sheng pulled out his gun. With the long sword at his waist, Ju Chong began to give in. He put down the long sword in his hand, knelt down and looked at General Le Sheng, saying: "General, please let me live, and I will never be an enemy of the general again. General Le Sheng ordered the army behind him to stand still. He stepped forward and kicked him out, saying: "You deserve it too." Ju Chong climbed up again and continued to beg for mercy: "The general is right, I don't deserve it." , not worthy. As long as the general lets me live, I, Ju Cock, will be the general's ox and horse. I can do whatever the general wants me to do." General Le Sheng didn't want to look at it anymore, turned around and said, "Kill you, you're dirty. My sword, you can choose to kill yourself." Seeing that there was no hope of survival, Ju Chong could only make a last move, which would lead to death anyway. Ju Chong picked up the knife on the ground, looked at General Le Sheng standing in front of him, smiled obscenely, and then stood up slowly. The long knife in his hand moved forward and he rushed forward and said: "Go to hell." Unexpectedly, before Ju Chong could get close, Le Sheng turned around and slashed his throat with his sword. The knife in Ju Chong's hand fell, and he covered his neck with both hands. Blood spurted out uncontrollably. He fell to the ground and twitched a few times, and then died.
King Zhongshan, who escaped from Gucheng, lived a life of hiding in Tibet, avoiding the pursuit of his pursuers, and living a precarious life. Taking advantage of the darkness approaching, they wanted to sneak out secretly. There was a minister beside them, hiding in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to leave Zhongshan Kingdom and seek help from other countries to restore the country. King Zhongshan hid in the corner, faced a minister standing behind him, and said, "Go and find out first." It was sending the minister to his death, so it said, "Your Majesty, we'd better wait until late at night to rush on our way, in case we encounter the pursuer. The chance of being defeated is small." King Zhongshan only nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to you. As long as you can leave Zhongshan smoothly, you can do whatever you want."
Late at night, the King of Zhongshan led his guards, Fifty Chong, to sneak out of the city in disguise and among the caravans leaving the city. They intercepted and killed the caravan, seized some finances and fled into the mountains. King Zhongshan was accompanied by guards, who were always observing the movements in the dense forest. As long as King Zhongshan escapes from the city, it is like mud flowing into the sea. Finding King Zhongshan is like looking for a needle in a haystack. They had to spend the night in the deep mountains. King Zhongshan sat in front of the fire, and the rising fire illuminated his gloomy face. At this time, King Zhongshan was very confused and did not know which country to seek help from. The great powers in the Central Plains regarded their Zhongshan Kingdom as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and wished they could pluck out their Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhongshan State and Zhao State are close to each other. Today Zhao State is a powerful military country with many powerful generals. It felt inappropriate to go to Zhao State. Zhongshan State and Zhao State were old enemies. How could Zhao State help its old enemy? Moreover, when he went to the State of Zhao, he was afraid of offending the State of Qin and losing the support of the State of Qin, so he suddenly said: "Let's go to the State of Qin." At this time, King Zhongshan suddenly thought of joining Qin. If you go south, you must pass through the two countries of Han and Wei. They planned to go straight forward and enter Qin's territory through Jingxing.
They escaped from Zhongshan State overnight and entered the territory of Qin State, and they were truly safe. The king of Zhongshan suffered a lot along the way. Even if he reached Yangqu in the state of Qin, it would take several days to go south to the Wei River and then to Xianyang, and he couldn't reach it with just his feet. After arriving in Yangqu, King Zhongshan found a post station nearby to stay first, bought several good horses and headed to Xianyang, the capital of Qin. They stood on the banks of the Wei River, looking at the Xianyang Palace among the mountains (Lishan Mountain), and crossed the Wei River into Xianyang City, the capital of Qin.
King Zhongshan was summoned by King Qin to the palace of Qin. When the King of Zhongshan entered the palace of the King of Qin, his servants knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, the Wei State has destroyed my Zhongshan State, you must save my Zhongshan State!" King Qin looked at Zuo Shuchang Fazhang and said: "My beloved, What's going on?" Fazhang stood up and said, "You are the king of Zhongshan, right." King Zhongshan replied, "Exactly." Then he turned to King Qin and said, "Your Majesty, please send troops to help me restore my country." Fa Zhang stood in front of King Zhongshan and said: "King Zhongshan, sending troops is a major matter for the country and needs to be discussed before making a decision. King Zhongshan should go back to the post house and wait for the news." King Zhongshan then stood up and exited the Qin Palace. Fa Zhang looked at King Qin and said: "This King of Zhongshan was originally a general who lived in Zhongshan to monitor King Zhongshan. Unexpectedly, he became more powerful. He killed the previous King of Zhongshan and established himself as King of Zhongshan. We, the Qin State, are looking for an obedient man." The vassal states recognized it as the king of Zhongshan State to curb the power of Zhao State." King Qin said: "You agree with the army to send troops." Fazhang said: "We will not send troops for the time being." King Qin hesitated and asked "Why are you doing this?" Fazhang said: "Your Majesty, the Wei State has just undergone a reform, and its military strength cannot be underestimated. We have seen it after the battle in Hexi. And my country, Daqin, has just experienced the rebellion of Lord Wu'an, and its military strength cannot be underestimated. It is stable and it is not appropriate to send troops. The Wei State crossed the territory of the Zhao State to attack the Zhongshan State, and where did it put the Zhao State? King Zhao is martial and willful, how could he tolerate such an insult? The Zhao State will definitely send troops, and the Zhao State and Wei State will definitely There will be a big war, let them consume each other, and we will reap the benefits. As the saying goes, if two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Five years later, when they will both lose, our Daqin will regain Hexi with its strong soldiers and horses. Land, send the King of Zhongshan back to the country." The analysis of the law was very incisive. The King of Qin praised it and said: "You are rich in strategy. If the Qin State has Qin, why worry that our Qin Dynasty is not strong. Okay, I will wait patiently. Good news from you." The King of Qin trusted the law even more, and then promoted the Qin State to the Prime Minister so that the laws promulgated by it could be adopted up and down, and the Qin State began a comprehensive reform.
After the Wei State conquered the Zhongshan State, they secretly sent personal guards to inspect the whereabouts of the King of Zhongshan, and said: "If you die, you will see corpses, if you live, you will see insects." The guards sent by the King of Wei were to conduct door-to-door searches. Zi Sang was driving towards his mansion when a pair of soldiers and horses came towards him and said: "Get out of the way." Zi Sang told the servant driving the car to get out of the way and stuck his head out to look at the pair of soldiers and horses. He was so domineering and did not take Xiang Guo seriously at all. These guards are all close associates of the King of Wei. They are like internal guards and have the power to supervise all officials. Zi Sang had no choice but to take a detour and rush to Le Sheng's general's mansion to visit.
Zi Sang entered the general's house and asked: "How is the general's injury?" General Le Sheng sat up and said: "My injury is much better. Thank you Prime Minister for coming to visit." Zi Sang sat aside and said comfortingly: "General What are you talking about?" General Le Sheng lowered his head and sighed repeatedly. Zi Sang saw it and said, "The general is not such a worm who sighs and sighs." General Le Sheng sighed again and said, "Alas! Look at those rampaging men. It is really inappropriate to break into the bodyguards and search door to door, just to find King Zhongshan, and to constantly disturb the people. Prime Minister, you should persuade the king to return to the country, for fear of things happening in the army in the long run!" Zi Sang was also in trouble! He said: "Since your Majesty entered Gucheng, he has been enjoying himself all day long and has not been able to listen to a single word of advice. What I am most worried about is the Zhao State. The land of Ye is empty, and Tu Su is in Anyi. If the State of Zhao sends troops to attack my land of Ye , the land of Ye is in danger." General Le Sheng said: "Am I not the same worried?"
