The evening wind blew hard, and the sound of military chariots could be heard in the valley. listen! A large army slowly marched towards the valley here. They lit torches to illuminate the dark and rugged mountain road ahead. They entered the valley, where the road ended. Ding Dian led the army to stop circling here. The road under the two stone walls can only accommodate one insect and one military vehicle. Ding Dian led the army to catch up here. The Qi army disappeared and shouted: "Zizhang, where did you hide the army? Could it be that it was hidden in the sky?" Military advisor Qiu Sheng came forward on his chariot and said: " General, there may be an ambush here, you see." General Ding Dian looked up at the surrounding peaks and said proudly: "The terrain here is dangerous, with a thin line of sky in front of it. If there is an ambush here, our army will definitely be there. The entire army was wiped out." Then he faced the army behind him and said, "We must pass through this quickly."

On the surrounding peaks, torches were raised, and the army stood in the dense forest. General Tianluo stood in front of them and said: "General Ding Dian, you can't leave." Then rockets were fired, and the shield soldiers stepped forward to form a formation. Shape, blocking rockets flying from all directions. General Ding Dian stood on the chariot, drew out the long sword from his waist, and blocked the flying arrows. The valleys were very narrow and the army could not form a formation. Arrows were flying from the front, back, left and right, and the soldiers around him fell one after another. General Ding Dian stood on the chariot and shouted: "Follow me, the army rushes out of the valley." In front of them is the trap they dug. The trap is filled with sharpened bamboo joints and is covered with grass. Covered and not easily discovered. The army rushed towards the sky, falling into traps one after another, being stabbed to death by sharpened bamboo joints, and the wheels of military chariots rolled over. General Ding Dian and military advisor Qiu Sheng were thrown out at the same time. They climbed up and shouted, "Come with me, the army, rush out of the valley." The soldiers who rushed forward were shot to death by random arrows. They followed one after another and rushed to the bottom of the stone wall. Rocks fell from the stone wall, and the rocks hit the army like hail. The army at the foot of the mountain began to panic and trampled until countless people died. After blocking the falling rocks, random arrows were fired, and the military commander Qiu Sheng was hit by an arrow and died. Ding Dian saw him and called out: "Qiu Sheng, Qiu Sheng." He rushed forward to help Qiu Sheng up and shouted: "Qiu Sheng! Qiu Sheng." He tried to wake Qiu Sheng up, but when he was dying, Qiu Sheng said: "General, discuss the war and fight. I am not as good as Zizhang, the military advisor of Qi State, who is a genius who knows the art of war." Then he sneered and said, "What's funny is that I only learned a little bit, and I still brag about it." Then he died in shame. Ding Dian looked at the corpses of these armies. The whole army was wiped out. This was the last elite of the Wei State in its hands. How could he have the dignity to go back and meet the King of Wei? He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, with tears streaming down his eyes. It's shame. Looking down at the long sword in his hand, he placed the long sword on his neck. With a touch, blood spurted out, and he slowly fell down into a pool of blood. The flag of Wei State fell down, covering its body.

Military advisor Zi Zhang and General Tian walked down the cliff, with the Qi army behind them. They surrounded the fallen troops, and everyone became silent. Military advisor Zi Zhang said: "They all have their own masters. Let's give these fallen soldiers a good burial." He began to clean the battlefield. Then the rear army commander Zi Zhang and General Tianluo stood in the valley. Military advisor Zi Zhang said: "Wei's army was defeated at Malingdao. Their vitality is severely damaged and they won't be able to make any big moves. It's time for me to leave. We'll see you later." General Tian Luo stepped forward and said, "Military advisor." At that time, General Tianluo wanted to retain it. Military advisor Zi Zhang saw General Tianluo's intention, so he said: "General, it is not convenient to retain it. It's time to retire after the success. You can report it to the king, and I will follow." The army is dead." General Tianluo looked at Zi Zhang and said: "Strategic Advisor, I still hope that you can stay in Qi State. I have thought about it. Military Advisor is proficient in the art of war. If I were the prime minister of Qi State, I would recommend you to the king. General of the country, how about being in charge of the troops and horses of our country of Qi?" Military advisor Zizhang stood in front of General Tianluo, kowtowed and said: "Zizhang would like to thank the general for his kindness. Mr. Zizhang once said Such a sentence, don't do to insects what you don't want others to do to you." After saying that, he turned and left. General Tianluo looked at the retreating figure of Military Advisor Zizhang, and faced the army behind him and said: "My fellow soldiers, let's send you off together. ." The soldiers behind him all looked at Zizhang's leaving figure and shouted: "Send me off, sir." The military advisor turned to look at the army, waved his hands, and continued on his way.

The army of the Wei State was defeated. Malingdao quickly spread the news into the palace of the Wei State. The King of Wei was once again shocked. He stood up and shouted: "Ding Dian, you stupid pig, stupid pig, my Wei State has a million-strong army, a million-strong army." Right. Ding Dian is a worm who is familiar with the art of war, and Qiu Sheng, don’t they know that there is an ambush on Maling Road? They gave away millions of my elite soldiers to Qi State in vain." Then he walked down to the soldier. , said: "Where are Ding Dian and Qiu Sheng? Why don't they return to the capital of Wei to report the military situation to Widow Chong. Widow Chong will definitely break them into thousands of pieces." It can be seen that King Wei was extremely angry. He pulled out the long sword from his waist and said angrily: "Tell me quickly, where are Ding Dian and Qiu Sheng? If you can't tell me, I will definitely kill you." The soldier knelt in front of King Wei, his whole body trembling. , shouted: "Your Majesty, military counselor Qiu Sheng was killed by an arrow. General Ding Dian had no face to see your Majesty, so he drew his sword and committed suicide." The King of Wei retreated in shock and accidentally tripped on the steps behind him. The internal officials went to help him. King Wei picked up the long sword and said, "Which one of you will help the widow? Who will kill the widow?"

King Wei was furious in the palace of Wei, and he chopped wildly, overturning several cases and knocking down bronze frames. He turned around and pointed his sword at the minister standing in the court, and said: "Old Master, didn't you say that the Qi State will not attack the main beam of the Wei capital? What is going on?" The old Master staggered with his staff. He walked out, looked at the King of Wei, threw away the wooden staff and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty." The King of Wei said excitedly: "You are guilty, what's the use? I have a million-strong army of Wei State, a million-strong army!" "Then he feebly climbed up to his throne and said: "Our Kingdom of Wei is finished, finished." The ministers all knelt forward and shouted: "Your Majesty." King Wei sighed deeply and said: "That's it, that's all, you all step back, step back." The old master picked up the wooden stick that was thrown aside, stood up with difficulty while holding on to the wooden stick, looked back at King Wei who was sitting in front of several cases, and wanted to say something Stop and walk out of the Wei Palace with these ministers.

King Wei sat in front of several cases and looked around, feeling confused and not knowing what on earth he was going to do. Fu Chong of the State of Wei entered the palace of the King of Wei, stood in front of the King of Wei, and said, "Your Majesty." The King of Wei raised his eyes and said, "Mother, our army of the State of Wei was completely wiped out on Maling Road. These were millions of people of the State of Wei. The elite army was ruined like this." At this time, King Wei was like a wronged child and began to cry loudly. Wei Guofu Chong stepped forward and said: "The Ai family already knows about this." Then he sat next to King Wei and comforted him: "Your Majesty! Since it has happened, it is useless to blame yourself. ." At this time, the King of Wei said with great regret: "I really regret it, really, really regret it." A few tears squeezed out of his eyes, and he said: "The Prime Minister has stopped Wu Chong from sending troops many times. Widow Chong regretted that he shouldn't have listened to it. If he had listened to the advice of the Prime Minister, our country of Wei would be rich and powerful, and there would be no chance of defeating Malingdao." Chong, the wife of Wei State, sat aside and said, "My lord, Now you can tell who is loyal and who is traitorous." King Wei said dejectedly: "I understand now." Wei Guofu said: "The prime minister's plan can bring peace to the world. You should go to the death row to visit the prime minister. The Prime Minister must have a strategy in mind." King Wei stood up and said, "Okay, I will go to the death row to visit the Prime Minister."

The King of Wei went to the death row to visit the Prime Minister Zisang. The Prime Minister Zisang came forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." The King of Wei stood in front of Zisang and said, "Prime Minister, please be freed." Zisang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, go to the Death Row to see your guilt." Sir, there must be something going on." King Wei said, "My army was defeated at Malingdao, and the Prime Minister should know about it." Zi Sang sat on the straw mat and said, "This matter has been anticipated by the guilty minister. In." The King of Wei stood in front of Zi Sang and said, "The prime minister must have had a plan in mind for a long time." Zi Sang said, "For the current plan, for the current plan, we can only stop fighting with Qi and make peace. "The king of Wei continued to ask: "Why is this?" Zi Sang said: "The Qin State has reformed and strengthened its troops, and it is possible to regain the land west of Hexi at any time. Once the Qin State invades Hexi, Anyi will be in danger, and we, the Wei State, can take it back. There is no barrier left to defend." King Wei nodded in agreement and said, "Although the Prime Minister's words are reasonable, we have lost the elite of Wei State. Where can we get the army?" Zi Sang said, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this. We are in Hexi. With my elite army of 500,000, the Hexi army is the ace army of Wei." King Wei was relieved and said: "Okay, Wei has a prime minister and the country can be at peace." Then he walked out of the cell, Zisang walked up and knelt down, saying "The guilty minister is here to send you off to your Majesty." King Wei waved his hand back and walked out of the death row without looking back.

Zisang was released and walked out of the Tianzihao Prison. He looked up and saw the first ray of sunshine in the morning, returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The next day he entered the court and resumed his duties as prime minister. Zisang stood up, held his scepter and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, our army was defeated at Malingdao. The only plan for now is to make peace with Qi and make an alliance with Han, Qi, Chu and Zhao to discuss joint resistance. Qin's great plan." The king of Wei said: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable, so who should I send to the Qi State?" The Prime Minister Zi Sang said: "I would like to go to the Qi State." The King of Wei said: "Then I can only wrong the Prime Minister."

General Tian Luo left his army in Wei State and returned to Linzi, the capital of Qi State, to report the victory to the King of Qi. General Tianluo entered the palace of Qi and said: "Your Majesty, our army wiped out millions of elites of the Wei State on Maling Road, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Wei State. In recent years, it has not dared to use troops." The King of Qi was delighted when he heard the good news. He said: "Very good, very good." Then he asked: "Why don't you see the military advisor come back?" Tianluo showed a sad expression and said: "Military advisor, the general failed to protect the military advisor, military advisor, it, it... ." King Qi asked anxiously: "What happened to the military advisor? Tell me." Tian Luo choked for a long time and said: "The military advisor was killed in battle." The ministers standing in the court were shocked when he said this, and they were even more surprised to say no. Speak up. King Qi stood up in shock, his mind going blank. Maybe the King of Qi was regretting it at this time. The military advisor was a civilian official, so why did he let the military advisor accompany him on the expedition? However, it still did not believe the bad news about the death of the military advisor, and said: "How did the military advisor die in battle? You have to explain it clearly." General Tianluo said: "The military advisor personally led the army and the Young Master of Wei to besiege Daliang, the capital of Wei, and encountered an enemy at the gate of Daliang City The army, the military advisor was feigning defeat on the way back to Maling Road. He was hit by a hidden arrow from the Wei army and fell into the abyss together with the chariot and the insects. It was the general's momentary negligence. Why did he agree to let the military advisor lure the army?" After finishing speaking, he continued. He said sadly and self-reproaching: "The general is really a bastard!" King Qi stood up and was dizzy. The ministers stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty." King Qi said: "I'm okay, I'm okay." Then he sat down again. He came down and was silent for a long time. The minister came forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, the dead insect cannot come back to life. Your Majesty, you must express your condolences and don't hurt your precious body!" King Qi waved his hand and said: "I know it." Then he couldn't speak for a long time. .
