General Wang Cuo got up and asked, "Who is leading the troops?" Qin Prime Minister Quan Shan replied: "General Tu Renfeng leads the troops, and General Zifan is the backup." General Wang Cuo walked out and said, "The king of Zhao is capable. He is here." The State of Zhao implements a benevolent government, and the princes from all over the world obey it and form alliances with it one after another. Now is not the time to attack Zhao. If we send troops to attack Zhao at this time, it will be extremely detrimental to our Qin Dynasty. I want to go to the palace to see the king, stop the troops and fight with the Qin Dynasty. The cultivation of the people is the main plan." Qin Prime Minister Quan Shan followed up and said: "General, but your body." General Wang Cuo said with great righteousness: "My body does not matter, the safety of Qin is the most important."
The general Wang mistakenly ran out of the general's mansion, got into the prime minister's car, and rushed to the palace of Qin together. General Wang Cuo and Qin Prime Minister Quan Shan went into the palace to pay homage to the King of Qin, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty." King Qin stood up and walked up to the road: "General Wang, the prime minister has no courtesy." Then he walked up and sat in front of several cases and said: "General Wang , Prime Minister, please take a seat." General Wang Cuo and Qin Prime Minister Quan thanked each other kindly and sat on both sides. General Wang Cuo is a veteran on the battlefield. He has fought for the Qin Dynasty for many years. His contribution is no less than that of Wu'an Lord Bai Gongfeng. I believe that the King of Qin will still listen to General Wang Cuo's words. He has no choice but to invite General Wang Cuo who is still ill. The King of Qin asked: "The general is seriously ill and should take a good rest." The General King mistakenly said: "Compared with the safety of the Qin Dynasty, my body is no longer important." The King of Qin smiled and said: "What do I have for the Qin Dynasty?" Safety? General, you are worrying too much." General Wang Cuo said: "I heard that the king sent troops to attack Zhao State, is there anything wrong?" King Qin replied: "Yes." General Wang Cuo walked up and knelt down and said, "My minister Please your Majesty to withdraw your troops immediately." The King of Qin hesitated and said: "General, why are you doing this?" The General Wang mistakenly said: "There are three reasons for the withdrawal of troops. The King of Zhao is a virtuous man who has won the hearts of the people in the State of Zhao. He also has alliances with other princes. This is one of the disadvantages of sending troops. If the king is angry and raises troops, he will lose his rational judgment. He does not understand the strength of Zhao State. This is disadvantage of sending troops for the other reason. In terms of the national strength of Zhao State, it has millions of elite soldiers, civil servants and fierce generals. Yun, for example, Zhao Li, the son of King Zhao, could kill an enemy general among thousands of troops, and Dao Yan, the defender of Jinyang, was even more resourceful. This was the reason why Zhao State was able to destroy Zhongshan State. King Zhao Guang recruited insects to join Zhao State. , the current Zhao State is full of talents, and its military strength can compete with our Great Qin. This is the third disadvantage of sending troops. Furthermore, the Zhongshan State was originally a chess piece of our Great Qin, so it should be abandoned. Today's King Zhao is already in his twilight years How many years can the State of Zhao be in power? The prince of Zhao State was born in a deep palace. He is stronger than women and has little ambition and wisdom. How many years can the power of Zhao State be maintained?" Quan Shan, Prime Minister of Qin, stood up and walked to the road: "Your Majesty, the general is right, please think again!" General Wang Cuo's analysis made King Qin deep in thought, then he stood up and walked forward and said: "General Wang, Prime Minister, please get up." Qin Prime Minister Quan Shan stood up. He continued: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to stop the troops, develop production, secretly accumulate strength, and prepare for attacking Zhao in the future and destroying Zhao to dominate the world." King Qin kept nodding and said: "Your loyalty to me, Great Qin The widow knows, but the order has been issued and there is a reason to withdraw it." General Wang Cuo nodded to express his understanding and said: "Your Majesty, I have a piece of advice, I wonder if your Majesty is willing to listen to it?" King Qin walked up and sat at the table. Before that, he raised his eyes and said: "General, please speak, I am all ears." General Wang mistakenly said: "Remember, do not go deep alone, this is a taboo for military strategists."
The soldiers of the State of Qin came out of Hangu Pass to attack Shangdang of the State of Zhao. At this time, Zhao Li had just gotten married and was about to rush to Shangdang with the army. Zhao Jun's troops were mainly concentrated in Tunliu, and they jointly formed a defensive line with Zhao Jun of Shangdang. Build high walls and dig deep trenches to block the Qin army's offensive. Millions of Qin troops have arrived outside Shangdang City and camped outside the city to discuss how to attack the city.
At this time, Zhao Li had returned to the army. General Zhao Yunchu led the army. Zhao Li was just one of the soldiers. The army in Jinyang did not move because there was still a Qin army that had not been dispatched. The purpose of this elite staying in Jinyang is to prevent the Qin army from taking the opportunity to attack Jinyang. The Zhao army set out from Handan and rushed to Shangdang. They marched in a hurry. General Zhao Yunchu stood on the chariot and looked at the army behind him. Except for the cavalry, most of them were infantry. They moved very slowly. At this marching speed, he didn't know how long it would take to reach Shangdang. I was afraid that the army had not arrived yet. Already more than half exhausted. Zhao Li rode his horse forward and said: "General, look at our rapid march all night, I'm afraid the soldiers are exhausted." General Zhao Yunchu asked: "What is the plan in your mind?" Zhao Li replied: " I will lead 200,000 elite cavalry to advance lightly. The general can lead the main force to follow, so that our army can have enough time to recuperate." General Zhao Yunchu asked worriedly: "Is it too dangerous for the young master to march like this? If the young master How can I explain to the king if I make a mistake?" Zhao Li said: "My Shangdang's army is less than one million, and I'm afraid it won't be able to compete with the powerful Qin army. Fighters can be lost in an instant." General Zhao Yunchu agreed. Said: "Okay, sir, be careful!"
Zhao Li led 200,000 fine cavalry and rushed out, rushing towards the upper party. In Shangdang, the two armies lined up in front of the city. The crossbowmen stepped forward to draw their bows and nock their arrows, and the arrows flew out. In the square formation of the Zhao army, the shield soldiers came forward, and the tall shields were erected in front of the army. The arrows hit the shields and fell down. These troops squatted behind the shields and observed the Qin army's formation in front. Some arrow feathers penetrated the shields. The soldiers who were hit by the arrows were dragged into the army to recuperate. The shield soldiers behind stepped forward to block the arrow feathers. In the Qin army's formation in front, the formation gate opened, and the armies from the left and right wings rushed in, knocking away the shields, and the two armies fought with each other. The chariots were rushing through the chaos. The leader of the Zhao army came with a chariot and killed several generals of Qin. General Slaughterer Bee stood on the chariot and saw that the main force of Zhao's army was in chaos, so he led the Chinese army to charge into the chaos. A long halberd was drawn out, knocking over the war horse. Zhao Li led 200,000 cavalry to appear on the top of the mountain, charged down, and fought with each other in the chaos. The ax in his hand was difficult for the enemy to parry, and he was brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand men. Seeing how brave Zhao Li was, the Qin army general panicked and ordered his troops to withdraw. Zhao Li dismounted from his horse and kowtowed, saying: "General, Zhao Li, the forward of General Zhao Yunchu's tent, has come to report." The Shangdang guard general got off his chariot, stepped forward and said, "I have long heard that you have a courage that is unworthy of ten thousand men. I've seen you today, sir, please rise up." Then he led the army into the city and defended it waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
King Hui walked out of the Zhao Palace, with a child beside him. This time King Hui was going to start private visits to the people again. The boy asked: "King, this time my Qin State attacks your Zhao State, are you trying to kill me?" King Hui bent down and said, "Why should I kill you? You are still young, and you will experience many things in the future. The little boy said: "If I were the king of Qin, I would destroy Han and Wei first, divide my troops into three groups, go all the way north to capture Jinyang, all the way to Dangdang, all the way south to attack the Zhang River, and all three armies would join forces to attack Handan. To unify the world and save the people of the world from the suffering of war." This child has such an ambition, so who is it? It is the son of Qin's proton who entered Zhao. But this child is too young, about thirteen years old. In the past, there was a great war between Qin and Zhao at Que. Qin was defeated and sent its proton to Zhao. This proton was Qin's son Chu Yi, and he was Chu Yi's son Zhao Zheng. The word "zheng" means upright and bright. After hearing this, King Hui smiled and said: "You are not a big insect, but you have high ambitions. I'm afraid I won't see the day when you will dominate the world." He picked up Zhao Zheng and got into the carriage. King Hui sat in front and drove him. Zhao Zheng stuck his head out and said, "Grandpa, where are we going?" King Hui said, "Go to Jingxing to attack Qin." King Hui seemed to be joking, but Zhao Zheng became serious and said: "Isn't the Qin army going to Shangdang? Why should they go north to Jingxing?" King Hui said: "They will also go north. Grandpa is waiting for them at Jingxing." Zhao Zheng seemed to understand and said: "Grandpa will not move them Lead them to Jingxing and annihilate them all." King Hui said kindly: "Zhao Zheng, our army is a benevolent and righteous army. We will not annihilate them all, but send them back to Qin."
King Hui drove to Jingxing. Batokin came out of Chaimen and went down the mountain to greet him. He knelt in front of King Hui and said, "Your Majesty." King Hui helped Batokin up and said, "You must be Yun'er's adoptive father Batokin." Batokin said, "Exactly. King Hui stood in front of Batokin and said, "We are all from the same family, so there is no need to be too polite." Batokin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the mountains are simple." Then he stood aside to welcome King Hui up the mountain. King Hui said: "Batokin, come with me to visit the people privately and see how the people are living?"
There are fields and pastures here, and people are busy in the fields or grazing on the grasslands. King Hui stood on the field ridge and called out: "O fellow villagers!" An old farmer walked up and sat on the field ridge, looked at Batokin and the child Zhao Zhengdao standing aside: "Old Chong, these two are you His son and grandson." King Hui looked at Batojin and Zhao Zheng standing aside, sat down and said, "My son is still serving as a soldier in the Shangdang, and is he fighting with Qin?" The old farmer asked again: " Your son is a soldier. Does he have any position in the army?" King Hui smiled and said: "The dog has no talent, he is just a small soldier." The old farmer showed off: "My son is a general. In Jinyang, you What's your son's name? I'll send a letter to my son after I go back. Take more care of your son and try to be promoted to a general." King Hui replied: "The single name has the character "carp"." King Hui looked at The farmer asked in the field: "Brother! How is the harvest this year?" The old farmer said: "The weather is going well this year, it will be a good harvest year." King Hui stood up and patted the it on the shoulder and said: "As long as the people live a good life , I feel relieved."
King Hui walked towards this grassland, followed by Batokin and Zhao Zheng, and then looked at the undulating mountains. There were clouds gathering above the mountains, and lightning often struck down. Walking towards the vast grassland, the herdsmen here are very enthusiastic. A couple came forward and received them with the highest etiquette on the grassland, saying: "My distant friends, you are welcome to be our guests." They pulled King Hui and other insects into the yurt and served them milk tea. The herdsmen slaughtered cattle and sheep for them, sat outside the yurt, drank kumis, and ate meat in large gulps. They lived a very comfortable life. King Hui looked at the mountains in the distance and asked: "Brother, where is that place?" A herdsman looked at the undulating mountains with a look of horror and said: "Old sir, it was the Valley of Death at that time! Old sir, you don’t know something. This Death Valley is extremely dangerous, and there are many brave people who go in and never come out." After King Hui waited for the insects to eat and drink, he said: "Thank you for your warm hospitality." After saying goodbye, he said Walk to Death Valley. Batokin followed and said, "Your Majesty, aren't we going to Death Valley?" King Hui turned around and said, "Yes!"
They walked up the mountain along this path, stood on the mountain, looked down at the valley bottom, and observed the terrain here. There are many high mountains around here, towering into the sky. This place is surrounded by mountains, and the valley bottom is extremely hot and sultry, like a big steamer. Water vapor is blocked by the surrounding mountains and difficult to disperse. Lightning clouds formed tightly in the sky, and the valley bottom was even more complicated. There were many mountain roads crisscrossing down, like a maze. No matter who walked in, it would be difficult to get out, let alone the more than two million Qin troops? It is a good place for an ambush. No matter how powerful the army is, it will be completely destroyed as long as it enters this valley. King Hui turned around and said: "Batojin." Batojin walked up and said: "Your Majesty." King Hui said: "You need to rush to Jinyang." Then he took out the slips and wrote on the bamboo slips: "Jinyang Order Xu Jing stayed in Jinyang, and General Dao Yan personally led a million troops to help Shangdang."
