At dawn, Zhao Li led his army out of Zhao Jun's camp and formed an array in front of Gucheng, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom. The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and King Zhongshan led his cavalry out of the city, standing in front of the army, with flags flying. The King of Zhongshan rode on his horse and looked at the Zhao army in front. The general behind him rode forward and said: "Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight." Then he came out of the formation, with the spear in his hand pointing downwards, and shouted: "This general A Shi Who dares to fight with me?" Xu Yong rode out on his war horse and said: "General, the last general is asking for a fight." Zhao Li said: "General Xu, please step back and wait for me to take off your heads." After saying this, he ran Debut: "General Zhao Zhao Li is here to take your head." The war horse galloped over, raising the ax in his hand. General Ashi Hengchong, who was riding on his horse, began to panic. His ax struck down, blood spurted out, and his head rolled down. Before King Zhongshan could react, a general fell off his horse and died. Zhao Li stood in front of the Zhongshan army and said: "Who dares to go out to fight with me." A general rushed out from the Zhongshan army and shouted: "Zhao Li, little boy, come and die quickly." He rushed forward with the spear in his hand. Pierce out. Zhao Li rode up on his horse, waved the ax in his hand, and blocked the spear, and the two soldiers collided. Two war horses galloped past, then turned their horses' heads and charged at each other. They waved their axes and the generals were killed from the waist. In this battle, Zhao Li killed two generals of the Zhongshan Kingdom in a row, showing an unstoppable force. Riding alone, he rushed towards the Zhongshan army formation. The king of Zhongshan was shocked when he saw this and shouted: "Guard you, protect you." Arrows shot out randomly. Zhao Li waved the ax in his hand to block the flying arrows, leaned on his horse, galloped towards the military formation, crossed the erected shields, and killed the crossbowmen. King Zhongshan was even more frightened and looked up at it. The ax struck down, and the Zhongshan King's head rolled down. Their king was dead, and these soldiers were even more helpless and did not dare to step forward. Zhao Li carried the head of King Zhongshan back to the Zhao army's formation. Zhao Li was so brave that he could seize the head of a general among thousands of troops, which made these Zhao soldiers look stupid. Xu Yong and Ji Xun ran up on horseback and exclaimed in surprise: "General Zhao." Zhao Li led the Zhao army forward, raised the head of King Zhongshan, and shouted: "Your king is dead. If you don't surrender now, how long will it take?" "The Zhao army surrounded these Zhongshan cavalry groups. Facing the approaching Chang Ge, they had no choice but to lay down their weapons and surrender to Zhao. Zhao Li faced the army behind him and said, "Now we can enter the city."
The old man rode back and shouted: "The Zhao army has won, the Zhao army has won." Ba Tuo Muyun ran out and said: "Father." The old man dismounted and said: "General Zhao is really brave. He beheaded the king of Zhongshan in one battle. , your father's great revenge has been avenged." The old man threw the package out. Bato Muyun walked up and stared at the package blankly, unable to believe that it was the head of King Zhongshan, with blood seeping out. He knelt down and opened the package. It was indeed the head of King Zhongshan. It immediately broke its defense. He knelt down and shouted: "Father, the head of the dog thief is here." Then he stood up and said: "Where is Zhao Li now? I I have to go see it." The old man said: "General Zhao has led the army into the city. Mu Yun, please don't call General Zhao by his first name in the future. It will violate taboos." Mu Yun is a straightforward insect, and said: "I want to find it." The old man said: "Daughter! General Zhao has told me to wait for her to come back at home." The old man and Mu Yun went out to worship Mu Yun's biological father.
Zhao Li led an army into Gucheng, the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom. What shocked him was that the city was filled with mountains of corpses and a sea of blood. Then they walked into a private house and stood in front of the firewood gate. There were only ruins of walls around them, and the ground was full of corpses charred by the fire. The people in the city were slaughtered in one day and one night. Zhao Li stood in front of the army, closed his eyes gently, and then said: "General Xu, General Ji, search every house to see if there are any survivors." Xu Yong walked out and said: "We have searched them all. All the people in the city are dead." Zhao Li clenched his fists and said, "These beasts." Zhao Li pushed open the wood door and walked in, about to open the door. Xu Yong stepped forward and said, "General, let's go take a look." Zhao Li took a few steps back. Xu Yong and Ji Xun stepped forward and pushed open the door. When they walked in, the smell of blood hit their nostrils. The hall was full of headless corpses. They immediately exited, holding on to the wall and gagging. Zhao Li stepped forward and said, "General Xu, General Ji, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Xu Yong and Ji Xun turned pale and said, "General Zhao, you better go in and take a look, it's miserable!" Zhao Li just walked in, and the smell in the hall immediately made him feel nauseous. Then Xu Yong and Ji Xun led some soldiers in. The soldiers walked in and ran out, holding on to the wall and gagging. The hall was full of headless corpses, with heads piled in the corners. They opened their mouths slightly and rolled their eyes upward. Xu Yong and Ji Xun entered the inner room and ran out again, saying in surprise: "General Zhao, please go in and take a look." Zhao Li then walked into the inner room and saw a young woman lying naked on the couch in the shape of a large font. It was unfolded, the lower abdomen was opened, the intestines burst out, and the blood that flowed out solidified. Zhao Li immediately ran out. At this time, he couldn't bear it any longer and kept gagging while holding on to the wall. Xu Yong walked out and patted its back and said, "General, are you okay?" Zhao Li then stood up, felt relieved for a while, and said, "I'm okay." With tears still falling from the corners of his eyes, he looked up to the sky and sighed. : "Give these people a good burial." He said angrily: "Send my military order to hang the body of King Zhongshan on the city tower. After three days, he will throw the body into the wilderness and feed it to the wolves. The 400,000 surrendered soldiers in the city will be on the spot. To rectify the law, leave no one alive and shoot them all."
Four hundred thousand surrendered soldiers gathered under the city, the gates of the Sifang City were closed, and archers and crossbowmen stood on the city. The soldiers under the city panicked, and a general stood up and said: "Where is your general? We want to see your general." The four hundred thousand surrendered soldiers shouted together: "I want to see your general." The general shouted: " Zhao Li, son, come out and let us fight to the death." Zhao Li walked out and stood on the city tower, looking down at the 400,000 surrendered soldiers below the city, and said: "The whole army listens to the order and fires arrows." A volley of arrows were fired from above the city, and below the city It was the sound of shouting that made people fall down in the face of the arrows. Even the arrows were shot out. Surrounding the remaining surrendered pawns, with swords and spears drawn out, every one of them was killed. The sky was overcast with clouds, and red blood rained down, washing away the blood stains on the ground, and dripping drop by drop on the piled up corpses. Zhao Li stood in the rain. At this time, it was red-eyed. Facing the soldiers behind him, he said: "My military order is not to collect their corpses and let the wind and sun expose them." Five days later, these corpses were thrown away. Between the valleys, feed the wolves.
Mu Yun did not listen to his adoptive father's advice, and took advantage of the night to pull out his fast horse, mounted it and ran towards the capital city of Gucheng, looking for Zhao Li. Standing under the city gate, he shouted: "Zhao Li, come out, come out." Hearing the sound, Zhao Li ran out and said, "Mu Yun." Mu Yun dismounted and ran up, hugged Zhao Li and said, "Zhao Li, come out." You bastard, Mu Yun is willing to be with you for the rest of his life, you can’t get rid of me.” Zhao Li didn’t speak, just nodded silently. Then he pushed Mu Yun away and said: "Mu Yun, I, Zhao Li, will never break my trust in you, but you have to trust me and go back. This trip is very dangerous. I will come back after I annihilate the enemy troops in Jingxing." Mu Yun looked at him. Zhao Li's eyes said: "Okay, I believe you."
The next day, Zhao Li led the army from Gucheng and ran towards Jingxing. Unexpectedly, Mu Yun has been following behind, standing on the hilltop watching the army led by Zhao Li go away. At this time, King Hui led the army to Jinyang. Zhao Zhao and Zhao Wen, who were repatriated, were also in Jinyang. Zhao Zhao and Zhao Wen, who were repatriated to their hometown, have completely changed their past and have done many good things for the people of Jinyang. They built bridges and paved roads, distributed all their money, and helped the poor people of Jinyang. They were called great benevolent insects by them. When I heard that King Hui was in Jinyang, I went to meet King Hui and stood outside Jinyang City. King Hui, accompanied by Jinyang Order Xu Jing and General Dao Yan, went out of the city to greet them and said, "Zhao Zhao, Zhao Wen." Zhao Zhao and Zhao Wen knelt down together and said, "Your Majesty." King Hui immediately helped them up and said, " Zhao Zhao, Zhao Wen, all of you, please get up." Jinyang ordered Xu Jing to laugh and said: "They are our great benefactors in Jinyang. They help the poor people and are respected by the people here." Zhao Zhao then said: " The guilty minister is just repenting for the mistakes he committed in the past, which is not worth mentioning." King Hui said: "Insects are not saints. No one can have no mistakes. He can correct his mistakes. There is no great good. You don't have to blame yourself. Come with me. Let’s enter the city.”
In the general's palace, Zhao Zhao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you were blocked at Jingxing." King Hui said: "Yes! Our army encountered strong resistance from the enemy at Jingxing." Zhao Zhao and Zhao Wendao said: "Your Majesty, we have There is nothing to worry about for you. We have already discussed it and are willing to donate all our family wealth to support the Jinyang army. We hope to capture Jingxing as soon as possible and return the Qingming Dynasty to the people of Zhao State." Zhao Zhao and Zhao Wen Scatter all the family wealth just to atone for sins.
King Hui once again led his army out of the city, this time in person. The army gathered outside the city and watched on the towers. The capital city of Gucheng was captured, and Jingxing was just an isolated city without any reinforcements. King Hui stood on the chariot and said: "General Dao Yan." General Dao Yan rushed up in his chariot and kowtowed: "Your Majesty." King Hui said: "My army is several times larger than the enemy's army, and we captured Jingxing in one go. "General Dao Yan drove his chariot and wandered in front of the army, facing the army and said: "In front of us are the most elite cavalry of the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the strongest city of the Zhongshan Kingdom. What do you think we should do?" The soldiers were all confused. He shouted: "Attack the city, attack the city." General Dao Yan pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it out and shouted: "Attack the city." An army of 2.8 million people rushed over overwhelmingly, braving the rain of arrows. They are not afraid of life and death, they only want to capture the city. Although the casualties are halved, their offensive is not reduced. The corpses filled the city wall, and they trampled on the piled up corpses to attack the city wall and fight bloody battles. The defender Una led a small number of cavalry and fled the city, and Jingxing was captured. Zhao Li led the army to fight out and pursued them behind. Zhao Li rode up on his horse and pursued them, killing several generals. After the wood mulberry was cut off, he turned his horse's head and ran forward, shouting: "Little Zhao Li, come and die." The two horses rode side by side, fighting each other. The ax and the sword collided with each other. The ax slashed up and down, and it was very difficult for Mu Sang to block back and forth. The ax was pressed on the sword, pressing down hard. They were fighting for their strength. The war horses spun, and the ax slid down, rose up, and split the armor. General Mu Sang fell off his horse and was trampled to death by the horses that passed by. Una fled deep into the mountains and brought back only a small number of cavalry. The King of Zhongshan is dead, and the Zhongshan Kingdom is dead in name only. Now it has no way to recover, the situation is over, and it seems that there is no hope of restoration. The three generals Una, Chujie and Ke Bing sat deep in the woods, holding daggers in both hands, pulling them out, inserting them into their stomachs, stirring them back and forth, and died of pain. The remaining three thousand cavalry committed collective suicide and died for their country.
The other nobles of the Zhongshan Kingdom did not give up and continued to fight against the Zhao army. General Dao Yan led millions of fine cavalry to capture Danqiu and Quyang. Starting from Quyang, he captured Lingshou and later moved the capital to Fushi to compete with the Zhao army. General Dao Yan led a long-distance attack and annexed the entire Zhongshan Kingdom. The Zhao army took advantage of the victory to attack Linhu, forcing them to continue moving north, occupying part of the territory, and established the two counties of Yunzhong and Yanmen in the old land of Zhongshan and the occupied lands of Linhu and Loufan, and the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed. The Zhao State's destruction of Zhongshan State not only eliminated the troubles among its confidants, but also connected the north and the south. The expansion of territory also made Zhao's national power truly strong, becoming the only obstacle to Qin's unification.
