On this cliff, there were only two insects, it and the military advisor Zi Zhang, who simply said all these words. General Tianluo faced the military counselor Zi Zhang and said: "After this battle, you will be our great hero of Qi. The position of prime minister belongs to you. I still want to congratulate you." It turned out that this was what the general wanted to say. , it seems that it has felt threatened by the military counselor Zizhang, so it feels unhappy. Zizhang stood in front, looking at the hazy distant mountains and said: "General Tian, ​​you are the brother of the king. Your status is so noble. Who can compete with you for the position of the country? Please rest assured, I will not fight with you. Competing for the position of prime minister. After this battle, I will retreat to the mountains and forests and never ask for political advice again." The army settled down on Maling Road, rested for a night, and marched to Daliang, the capital of Wei.

The army gathered outside the Korean capital, and the four square formations prepared to attack the city. Driving the chariot forward, General Ding Dian and military advisor Qiu Sheng stood on top of the chariot, looking towards the Korean capital. They pulled out the long swords at their waists and pointed forward, shouting to the army behind them: "Attack." Opening it, a large army rushed out from the central army and rushed towards the capital of South Korea. The defenders on the city drew their bows and arrows, ready for battle. When the enemy troops approached the city wall, thousands of arrows were fired from the city. The army in front was struck by arrows and fell, and the army behind rushed forward. In the phalanx behind the army, a trebuchet was launched, and huge stones hit the city wall, destroying the buildings on the city wall. The soldiers on the city were caught off guard by the oncoming rocks and threw themselves down with heavy blows on their heads and vomiting blood. The defenders on the city suffered numerous casualties. Another wave of troops rushed under the city. They attacked the city and fired arrows at the city wall. The rushing soldiers fell like raindrops from the high city wall. Cloud ladders were set up on both sides of the moat, and the army stepped on the ladders. Arrow feathers fell on the city. The soldiers attacking the city were hit by arrows or accidentally fell into the water of the moat, splashing with blood, and the blood dyed the entire moat red. Another army rushed up from behind, and they attacked the city three times in a row. Due to the tenacious resistance of the defenders on the city, they repelled the attacks of the army one after another. It was not until dark that the troops were withdrawn.

Seeing the army retreating below the city, the defenders on the city were already exhausted. They were holding on to their spears and were swaying or lying down and leaning on the battlements to rest for a while. They didn't know how long they could sustain such resistance, and their morale began to sink. . General Kong Ying climbed up the tower and inspected the defenders on the city. These soldiers stood up holding their spears and said: "General." Kong Ying faced them and said: "You have worked hard." He also called out the soldiers from the rear camp to distribute bread to them, and carried the wounded soldiers on the city to the rear camp. To recuperate. The bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle were carried out of the city and buried together. Car after car of soldiers who died in battle lay in the big pits that had been dug. The wizard stood on a hill and performed the ritual. The hill was covered with white flags. He performed the ritual to summon the souls and shouted: "Go back! Go back!" Outside the city, there were graves of soldiers who died on the battlefield everywhere. The white flags were blowing in the wind. fluttering.

While gnawing bread, these soldiers looked at General Kong Ying and said, "General, how long do we have to hold on until reinforcements arrive?" General Kong Ying promised them, saying: "If we hold on for another day, the reinforcements will arrive. We left Qi State and arrived in Linzi in one day." The soldiers all stood up. General Kong Ying looked at the fire outside the city and the graves of the dead soldiers, and burst into tears.

As for when the reinforcements would arrive, it had no idea in its heart, and was very worried. General Kong Ying returned to the General's Mansion. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said, "Quickly tell General Fengjie to enter my General's Mansion." General Fengjie entered the General's Mansion and kowtowed and said, "General." General Kong Ying said: " Our army has been holding on for half a month, why has your Qi country not shown any sign of sending troops?" General Fengjie said: "Tomorrow, there will be results tomorrow." This general Fengjie seemed to be perfunctory. General Kong Ying said: "I will only give you one day. If no reinforcements arrive after one day, don't blame me. I will use you to sacrifice the flag." General Fengjie said: "Okay." He said: "The enemy's attack on the city has failed. They will attack tonight. The general needs to pass down military orders to prepare the army for battle." General Kong Ying said: "Okay, I already know this."

When the military advisor Qiu Sheng entered the military tent, General Ding Dian asked, "Why are the military advisor here?" Qiu Sheng said, "General, take advantage of this night to attack the city. I'm afraid that the army's morale will be distracted for a long time, which will not be conducive to my army's attack on the city. Today , our army has attacked the city several times without success. At this time, the army in the city is already exhausted, so we should attack it secretly without giving the defenders in the city a chance to breathe." General Ding Dian stood up and said: "We must constantly harass the enemy and make them The enemy army was tired and launched a general attack the next day to capture Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea." Military advisor Qiu Sheng followed closely behind General Ding Dian and said, "Exactly, our army needs to fight quickly." General Ding Dian turned around and said : "Okay, let's follow the military advisor's plan and launch a sneak attack on Hancheng."

A large army was lying in ambush outside the city. Under the cover of night, they sneaked up, stood under the high city, looked up at the city wall, threw their iron rakes, grabbed the crenels on the city, climbed up the city wall, and pulled down the city wall. The patrolling soldier wiped his neck and blood spurted out. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by the defenders and shot dead. The general used a plan to lure the army from outside the city into the city, and opened the city gate so that he could close the door and beat the dog. The general led the army to hide in the grass. When he saw the city gate open, he said happily: "They have succeeded. Let's fight into the city together." The army entered the city and saw the city gate closed behind them. The general of the Wei army then responded: "We have fallen into the enemy's plan. Let's fight out of the city together." There were torches raised on the city wall, and arrows were fired. The general of the Wei army was shot off his horse, and all the troops in the city were wiped out. .

Late that night, Daliang, the capital of Wei State, was besieged by the Qi army. A soldier broke into King Wei's palace, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty." King Wei woke up from his dream, walked out and asked: "What happened?" The soldiers reported: "Your Majesty, there is an army of Qi outside the capital. ." King Wei was immediately taken aback and said hurriedly: "Go quickly, call the Grand Master into the palace." The soldiers immediately exited the palace of King Wei. Hit the mark. The old master entered the palace of the King of Wei with his staff and kowtowed: "Your Majesty." King Wei turned around and said, "Master, the Qi army has appeared outside the capital. Does the master have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" the old master said. : "Your Majesty, our army is in Hancheng. Your Majesty, you can order the army in Hancheng to reorganize and rescue me, Liang, the capital of Wei." Wei Jing, the younger brother of the King of Wei, entered the palace of the King of Wei and said: "Brother, you cannot order the army to reorganize. Qi State The army took advantage of the emptiness of our Wei capital to attack the beams of our Wei capital. The king of Qi used the strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, but he did not want to fall into the enemy's plan." The king of Wei asked: "Does the king have a plan to retreat from the enemy? Policy?" Wei Jing said: "Brother Wang will give me 400,000 personal guards, and I will personally lead the 400,000 troops to repel the enemies outside the city." After hearing this, King Wei was very happy and said: "Okay, these 400,000 personal guards will be used. I’ll leave it to the command of Brother Wang.”

Wei Jing withdrew from King Wei's palace and personally led an army of 400,000 guards out of the city. Wei Jing killed the enemy bravely. He took the lead and led the army into the enemy's formation. His war horses rushed towards the enemy and the spear in his hand came out. The King of Wei stood on the city tower watching the battle, and the Grand Master stood aside and said: "Young Master Wei is brave enough to defeat the three armies." King Wei just nodded silently, still very satisfied with his half-brother. The war horses and the chariot collided with each other. The spear in his hand came out and challenged several generals on the chariot. The chariot overturned and rolled over. The Qi army was quickly defeated and retreated. Wei Gongzi Jing rode on his horse and said arrogantly: "These armies are just a bunch of rabble. The army will follow me to chase them up." Wei Gongzi Jing led an army of 400,000 to pursue them and chased them to Maling Road. The Qi army disappeared. Wei Gongzi Jing looked up to the surroundings. The road ahead was rugged, surrounded by dense forests and towering mountain peaks. It was convenient for the Tibetan army to fear being ambushed by the enemy, so he led the army to retreat. There were torches rising on the mountain. Military advisor Zizhang stood on the top of the mountain and said, "Wei Jing, do you know my son Zhang?" Wei Gongzi Jing looked up at the surrounding mountains, which were all the Qi army, and said, "Not good." , playing into the enemy's plan." The army at the foot of the mountain suddenly became confused, rockets were fired from all sides, and the guards suffered numerous casualties. Wei Gongzi Jing was defeated and captured, and sent a soldier back to Daliang, the capital of Wei, to report the news.

This soldier rushed into the main beam of the Wei capital, entered the palace of Wei and said: "Your Majesty, Young Master Wei was defeated at Malingdao." The King of Wei immediately stood up and said in surprise: "What? Where is Wei Jing? Where is Wei Jing? Why don't you see Wei Jing? Please tell me quickly." The soldier said, "Young Master Wei led us to pursue Maling Road. We were ambushed by the enemy. Young Master Wei was defeated and captured." The King of Wei sat down with dull eyes and asked the Grand Master: "Old Taishi, what else can we do now?" The old Taishi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, for this plan, I will order the army to return to the court and save our capital, Daliang." King Wei said hurriedly: "Pass on the edict of the widows. , order the army to return to the court."

In the Wei camp outside the Korean capital, General Ding Dian received the order from King Wei and withdrew his army overnight and rushed to Daliang, the capital of Wei.

In the early morning of the next day, seeing that the Wei army showed no signs of attacking the city, he became curious and led his army out of the city and into the Wei camp. At this time, the Wei army had already withdrawn, leaving empty camps one after another. General Kong Ying was very puzzled. He called General Fengjie and asked, "What's going on?" General Fengjie looked at the empty camps and said, "It seems that this is another plan of the military adviser." General Kong Ying still didn't understand. Answered and asked: "What plan did your military advisor use?" Fengjie replied: "Same as before, surround Wei and rescue Zhao." General Kong Ying said with some worry: "This is your country's old trick, and the King of Wei will do it again." Are you fooled?" General Fengjie said very proudly: "I have been following the military advisor for many years, and the military advisor must have a clever plan."

This time, Qi State dispatched all its troops to besiege the capital Daliang. Military advisor Zi Zhang stood on the chariot, looking over the capital, and ordered a soldier to step forward and shout: "Listen above, the Young Master of the State of Wei is here. If you want to rescue the Young Master of the State of Wei, go out of the city and fight with me." ." The old master stood on the city tower, stamping his feet angrily, and beating the battlements with the wooden stick in his hand. General Ding Dian led the army to fight out and said: "Zhang Xiu, let's go." He led the army and rushed forward. The Qi army was defeated in one attack and fled. The King of Wei stood on the city tower and shouted: "General Ding Dian, we must rescue the young master." Ding Dian stood on the chariot, kowtowed and said: "General, I will obey the order." He led the army in pursuit.

The army chased them to a place where there was an enemy's stove, so they walked down to check and said: "The enemy has just made a fire to make food here, and they haven't gone far yet." He stood on the battle lane and said, "The army continues to pursue." Continuing to run, at ten o'clock in the afternoon, the army chased to another place. There was also an enemy's stove here. He got off the car to check and said: "The number of enemy stoves has decreased, and some soldiers among the enemy have fled. Now Qi's The number of troops is less than 500,000." He went to the battle lane and said, "The army continues to pursue." He pursued them near Maling Road at midnight. It was time for the Qi army to make dinner. He got out of the car to check and said: "The number of stoves has decreased, and the enemy The strength of the army has dropped sharply. Based on this, it can be judged that Qi's troops are less than 200,000, and there are baggage discarded by the enemy along the way. The time has come to defeat Qi." Get on the chariot and continue the pursuit.

Military advisor Zi Zhang and General Tianluo stood on the top of the mountain. At this time, General Tian became a little worried and asked: "If the military advisor repeats his old tricks, will the enemy general still be fooled?" Military advisor Zi Zhang replied: "We have Mr. Wei Jing as a bait, what do you think?"
