The Wei army besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao, and began to attack the city. The city was strong and Handan City was not captured for ten months, and several attempts to attack the city failed. At night, the engineers gathered outside the city to dig a tunnel directly into the city. They were discovered by Zhao Jun who was patrolling the city. They guarded the entrance of the tunnel and came out to kill one by one and pour water into the tunnel. The soldiers who entered the tunnel were choked to death by the water poured into them.
At this time, the Qi army was besieging Daliang, the capital of Wei. When the King of Wei saw the Qi army gathering outside the city, he issued gold medals several times and asked the army in Zhao's Handan to form a division to break the siege of Daliang, the capital of Wei.
In the military camp of the Wei army, Ding Dian received the command order, sat on the commander's seat, and said: "I just received the command order from the king. The Qi army is besieging Daliang, the capital of Wei State. The army will be ready to squad soon." Le Shengda The general stepped forward and said: "General, this time we are afraid that the enemy's army is cheating." General Ding Dian said confidently: "Our army can break the siege of Liang, the capital of Wei, without a single blow." General Le Sheng said: " It seems that the general is too worried, I hope the general can return to Daliang, the capital of Wei, smoothly and break the siege of Daliang."
The next day, the Wei army withdrew from Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and rushed towards Daliang, the capital of Wei State. After passing the Guiling pass, the Qi army stood on the top of the mountain and saw a large army passing under the mountain. General Tian Luo walked out and faced the military advisor Zi Zhang next to him and said: "Military advisor, now we can ambush." Military advisor Zi Zhang said: "No, let them pass first. This is just their vanguard." The long army entered Gui. Ling, this is the main force of the Wei army. Standing on the chariot is Wei's general Ding Dian. Military advisor Zi Zhang said: "This is the main force of the Wei army. It can ambush the army at the foot of the mountain." Standing on the chariot, General Ding looked around the mountains and said: "There is fear of an ambush here. The army will pass quickly. Here." There was an ambush on the surrounding mountains, flags were waving on the surrounding mountains, wooden logs and rolling stones rolled down from the mountains, and the army at the foot of the mountain passively defended. The rolling stone knocked over the shield soldier and quickly broke through the defense. General Ding stood on the chariot, pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted: "Come up with me, the army." The army at the bottom of the mountain attacked up the mountain, and was knocked over one by one by the rolling rocks. The army at the foot of the mountain quickly became confused. General Tianluo stood on the top of the mountain, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted: "Come down with me, the army." General Tianluo led his army to swoop down, and rushed into the chaos to fight together. Then, the Wei army was surrounded. Shield soldier on top. General Tianluo drove his chariot over the shield soldiers and beheaded his lieutenant. General Ding Dian and his remaining soldiers took advantage of the chaos and fled. The Wei army defeated Guiling, but it did not defeat the main force of the Wei army, and Qi did not formally attack Daliang, the capital of Wei. The Qi army retreated to Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and General Lesheng was forced to retreat to Zhongshan. The King of Wei could only form an alliance with King Yong of Zhao on the bank of the Zhang River, Qi would release the captured Wei generals, and the Zhao capital Handan would be besieged.
At this time, the King of Wei let himself go a little bit, thinking that he was the overlord, the overlord of the world, and imitated Qi Huan's alliance with the princes of the world. The monarchs of other vassal states sent envoys to the capital of Wei to congratulate them, but only South Korea and Qi did not come to attend, because Qi and South Korea would not recognize it as the overlord at all. The King of Wei was furious and wanted to send troops to attack South Korea and Qi. He said in the court: "My army defeated Qiang Qin in Hexi, went north to destroy Zhongshan and defeated Zhao. I want to send troops to attack South Korea and Qi. I wonder what your family wishes are?" The Grand Master stood up and said: "Korea is adjacent to the Wei State, and South Korea is weak. If we send out troops to attack Korea first, and when our troops approach Xinzheng, the King of Han will surely surrender to our Wei State. As for Linzi, the capital of Qi State, your Majesty can Unite Wei and Han to take it." After hearing this, King Wei said happily: "What the old master said makes sense." Prime Minister Zisang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is impossible for you to send troops to Han and Qi at this time." King Wei was a little hesitant. "What does the Prime Minister mean by these words?" Zi Sang said: "Your Majesty, our Wei army was severely damaged in Guiling and needs to recuperate. Your Majesty! At this time, we should make peace with our neighboring countries and eliminate the wars between them. Agricultural production was discovered. I have drafted a bill to further improve the laws of our country of Wei. Only when the resources and people are abundant and the military strength is strong, will the king truly become the overlord of the world." After that, the doctor Tu Su came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister said It makes sense. The State of Qin is eyeing our State of Wei, so we must not be careless!" King Wei put aside the bill drafted by Zi Sang and dismissed it, saying: "The State of Qi severely damaged our army of the State of Wei in Guiling. We sincerely invited Han and Qi to come, but Han and Qi ignored me. They were rude first, so I sent troops to attack Korea and Qi. It was just and right." Prime Minister Zi Sang said: "Your Majesty, you are in Wei Is it justifiable to put up a guard of honor for the emperor outside the city of Daliang? After the battle of Guiling, although the vitality of our country of Wei was not injured, its strength was damaged. Your Majesty, you are resorting to violence and the people will suffer. When the time comes, Our country, Wei, is suffering from internal and external troubles. Your Majesty, it is too late to regret it." The King of Wei got angry and said, "Prime Minister, how dare you make fun of me." Prime Minister Zi Sang knelt down and said, "Please punish me for your crimes." Taishi Looking at Zi Sang, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is despising the court and the king. Please punish him." King Wei said accusingly: "Prime Minister, are you despising the widow? Tu Su, the senior official, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has carried out reforms in the Wei State. Within ten years, the Wei State has become rich and powerful. He defeated the Qin State in Hexi. The Prime Minister has made great contributions to the Wei State. Please forgive the Prime Minister." ." King Wei then calmed down the anger in his heart, sat down and said: "Prime Minister, I will consider your past achievements. If I won't punish your sins, you don't have to be the Prime Minister anymore. Go back to your mansion and take care of yourself. Reflect on it." Zi Sang kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he took off the high crown on his head, handed over the prime minister's seal and put it aside, stood up and left the Wei Palace. Zi Sang reflected at home.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Tu Su, the senior official, went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Zi Sang. The superior doctor walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, bowed and saluted, and said: "Prime Minister." The Prime Minister Zisang turned around and said, "Tu Da Chong, please sit down." The superior doctor Tu Su sat aside and said: "Xiang Guo, the king is still very young, don't you I must be angry with the king." Zi Sang said: "How can I be angry with the king? I am worried about the future of Wei State. The king is sending troops to attack South Korea this time. I know that South Korea is not my country of Wei. Korea will be defeated by our opponent. What I am most worried about is asking Qi for help just like attacking Handan of Zhao. Qi will repeat its old tricks and lure our army deep into the country, and Wei will suffer a loss." Tu Su, the superior doctor, said comfortingly: "Xiang Guo What you are worried about is not unreasonable. Your Majesty also needs to grow up. After experiencing a failure, you will mature. Thinking of the past achievements of the Prime Minister and re-activating the Prime Minister, what else does the Prime Minister have to worry about?" Zi Sang said: "This is It is possible that the entire army will be wiped out this time, which will cause great losses to our country, Wei. In the face of major events, the king is hesitant and unable to make decisions. This is what worries me!"
King Wei appointed Ding Dian as general and led an army of one million to attack Runan in South Korea. Generals Han and Wei fought fierce battles in Liang and He. The two armies attacked each other, the shield soldiers slowly moved forward, and the spears stretched out from behind the shield soldiers. The drums of war are like thunder. Korean general Kong Ying stood on the chariot, looked at the Wei army formation opposite, pulled out the long sword from his waist and moved forward, shouting: "The army attacks." The phalanx behind him advanced. The Wei army's formation also advanced forward, slapping their swords on their shields and shouting: "Mighty, mighty." The Wei army's square formation turned into a four-sided attack formation, and penetrated the Korean army's center from all directions, and the two sides began to fight. The chariot rushed forward, smashed into flying shields, and charged into the chaos. The surrounding Wei army surrounded the Korean army and turned it into a circular formation, with war horses galloping around the outside. The spear pierced the armor and blood spattered, tearing a hole in the Korean Chinese formation and surrounding them. Most of the Korean soldiers were chopped into pulp by the spears erected by the surrounding Wei army. When the Korean general Kong Ying saw the enemy approaching, he led his army to flee and retreat to the upper reaches of the Ru River. The whole army reorganized and prepared to fight. The Wei army formed a formation on the other side of the Ru River, preparing to cross the river.
South Korea was defeated in the first battle. It was retreating steadily and was forced to the upper reaches of the Ru River. At this time, the Wei army was resting on the other side of the Ru River, waiting until dark to begin the night battle across the river. General Kong Ying looked at the army behind him. He knew that the army could no longer hold up, so he called the scouts and said, "Where are the scouts?" The scouts rode forward and kowtowed: "General." General Kong Ying said: " You quickly go to the capital city of Xinzheng, report the situation to the king, and ask the king to send reinforcements to fight the Wei army on the other side."
The scout rode his horse straight to Xinzheng, the capital of Han. He rushed to the Han Palace and shouted: "Report——." He ran into the Han Palace and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty." The King of Han asked anxiously: "How is the battle in Runan?" He replied: "My army is engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy in Runan. The enemy's offensive is rapid and fierce, and our army is retreating steadily. Liang and He have been captured by the enemy and forced to the upper reaches of the Ru River. Your Majesty, our army I’m about to lose my strength, please send reinforcements to save Ruhe.”
The King of Han was also helpless and said: "These are all the troops in South Korea. Where can we have a large army?" He then pointed at these ministers and said accusingly: "When the King of Wei invited Widow Chong to Daliang, the capital of Wei, Wuchong went to Daliang, the capital of Wei. That’s it, isn’t it okay? And you are trying your best to dissuade Widow Chong, saying that the king of Wei’s gesture of courtesy to the emperor is suspected of arrogance and unfair. Isn’t it just an admission of its hegemony? Widged Chong Just admit it. Now that the army is approaching, how will I resist it? Now is the time for you to offer your suggestions." After a while, King Han faced them and said, "Why, you are speechless at this time. Normally you are not Are you good at speaking? You guys are talking." At this time, King Han was a little anxious. These ministers were also at a loss. They all knelt down and said: "I am guilty." King Han stood up and said: "You are guilty. What's the matter? Use? I want you to come up with suggestions, how to defeat the enemy? You tell me." The ministers under the court were speechless and surprisingly quiet. King Han looked at them and said: "I want you to speak, speak!" After a long time, one of the ministers raised his head and said: "Seek peace." The other ministers said: "Your Majesty, let's seek peace." Since If you can't beat them, you can only sue for peace.
The King of Han faced the Prime Minister of Han and said: "Prime Minister, please come and discuss it." The Prime Minister of Han still stood where he was, looking at the King of Han and said: "Your Majesty, you cannot ask for peace. Judging from the strength of Wei's troops, it must be In a war that will destroy the country, asking for peace will only bring humiliation to oneself." King Han stood up and said: "Prime Minister, you still want to fight. Now the army is pressing down on the border. They will soon attack Xinzheng, and our country, Korea, will soon be destroyed." Han Han The prime minister continued to insist: "South Korea will not perish." King Han sat down again and said, "It seems that the prime minister has already planned to retreat." Han Xiang said confidently: "Exactly, I have already planned to retreat in my heart. Strategy." A long-lost smile appeared on King Han's face and he said: "Tell me about it." Han Xiang said: "In the past, Wei State attacked Zhao State with such ferocity that they captured the important northern town of Zhao State in less than three days. Jinyang and Wu'an were approaching Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Zhao Wangyong asked Qi State for help, and Qi State attacked Daliang, the capital of Wei, and solved the siege of Handan."
