The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Gong Ziang led the army to Qingshi Pass in a quiet detour. Gong Ziang shouted: "The whole army, move forward quickly!" Gong Ziang said silently in his heart: I hope the general can resist the attack of the Qi army.

Qingshi Pass

Tian Fang, the commander of Qingshi Pass, stood on the tower, staring at the grass and trees outside. The deputy general beside him said, "General, why don't you go back to the camp to rest? I will be responsible for guarding the city gate here!" Tian Fang sighed and said, "The general just defeated the Han army, and now he is chasing the fleeing Han army. I don't know when he will come back. What worries me most is that I didn't see the Wei army in this war. I am worried that it may be a trick of the enemy!"

The deputy general thought for a while and said, "General, the general has 170,000 troops, while the enemy has only 140,000. The advantage is mine! Moreover, the Han army was defeated by our army, and it is estimated that it suffered heavy losses. The Wei army has only 100,000 troops, and our army is still far superior to the Wei army."

Tian Fang looked at the sky and said, "You are right, then you take your soldiers to guard the city gate, and notify me immediately if you find the enemy! I will go back to the camp to rest first." - Yes!

As soon as Tian Fang left, the deputy general couldn't help but smile. He shouted to the soldiers guarding the side: "Come over here!" The soldiers guarding the tower hurried over after hearing the general's order. The deputy general smiled and said: "Brothers, we are tired of standing guard here. How about drinking some wine?"

A soldier asked carefully: "General, isn't drinking during patrol punishable by death?"

The deputy general laughed and said: "Don't worry, the enemy is fighting the main force of the general, no one is coming to attack Qingshi Pass, and it's okay to drink a little wine. I'll take care of it if something goes wrong!" Then he took out another cowhide bag from his waist and said: "Come on, everyone take a sip!" When the soldiers heard this, they hurried over to grab the wine bag, all wanting to be the first to drink.

The deputy general watched them snatching coldly. After a while, the wine in the wine bag was also drunk by the soldiers. When the soldiers were about to thank the deputy general, suddenly, a soldier fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. The other clans just reacted and fell to the ground with foam at the mouth. The deputy general smiled.

A group of soldiers walked up to the tower. These soldiers did not even look at the soldiers who fell to the ground. One of them walked up and whispered: "General, the soldiers guarding the city gate have been killed by us. When will the city gate be opened?"

The deputy general thought about it, and looked outside the city. He saw a group of soldiers in red clothes not far away. The deputy general said in surprise: "Here they are, open the city gate quickly!" - Yes!

Not far outside the city, Gongzi Ang saw the city gate open. He knew that the spies in the city had responded, so he drew his sword and shouted, "Enter the city!"

Inside the tent, Tian Fang was eating. Suddenly, he heard a shout of killing from inside the pass. Just as he was about to leave the tent, a soldier rushed in. The soldier's face was covered with blood. He gasped and said, "General, it's bad. The Wei army has entered the pass!"

When Tian Fang heard this, he grabbed the soldier's collar and scolded, "You said WeiThe Wei army attacked us, how did they get in!"

The soldier cried, "General, the deputy general Huang Pu is a spy of the enemy, and there are hundreds of Wei army spies hidden in the pass!"

"What!" Tian Fang was surprised. He didn't expect that the deputy general next to him was actually a spy of the Wei army!

Tian Fang hurriedly picked up his sword and left the tent. He saw that the whole Guangnei had already been a scene of fighting. Gongzi Ang was standing on the chariot and happened to see Tian Fang. Tian Fang drew his sword and rushed towards Gongzi Ang. The crossbowman next to Gongzi Ang hurriedly raised his crossbow and shot an arrow at Tian Fang.

The arrow hit Tian Fang's chest. Tian Fang spit out a mouthful of blood, looked at the arrow in his chest and fell down unwillingly.

Kill, kill~ Gongzi Ang ordered: "Destroy them all without leaving a single one! "The long halberds in the hands of the Wei army kept harvesting the lives of the Qi army soldiers. Some Qi soldiers put down their weapons and wanted to surrender, but the Wei army stabbed them to death with a sword. Soon, the whole pass had become a purgatory on earth with corpses everywhere. The flags of the Qi army planted in Qingshi Pass were also cut down and burned by the Wei army. So far, Qingshi Pass fell into the hands of the Wei army.

Gong Ziang saw that the fighting in the city had ended, and said to the generals: "Tell the soldiers to bury all these corpses, and do not move all the warehouses, and close them all!"

"-Yes!

After more than two hours, Pang Juan and his army also rushed to Qingshi Pass. Gong Ziang saw Pang Juan's army on the tower, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and personally went out of the city to greet them.

Pang Juan saw Gong Ziang coming out, and smiled and got off the chariot. Gong Ziang bowed and said: "Meet the general, thanks to the general's plan, our army will be able to capture Qingshi Pass so quickly. ”

Pang Juan smiled and said: "This battle is not the credit of me alone, but also thanks to your joint counsel and the bravery of my Wei soldiers! Let's go through the pass!"

In the tent, Kong Ye said to Pang Juan: "General Pang, now our coalition has annihilated the main force of the Qi army and broke through the Qingshi Pass. Should we march to Linzi?"

Pang Juan said: "Our army is tired after just experiencing a war. Let's rest for two days before sending troops to attack Linzi. In addition, we are not going to destroy Qi in this battle, but to force Qi to sign a city treaty! Tell the soldiers to slaughter 50 fat cattle and 30 fat pigs tonight!" ——General is wise!

Gong Ziang asked a little puzzled: "General, there is actually one thing I don't understand. Why did Tian Shou take Tian Pan back to Linzi? ”

Pang Juan smiled and explained: “In fact, I first asked the spies hidden in the pass to constantly slander Tian Pan in front of Tian Shou, and asked them to deliberately discuss Tian Pan’s shortcomings in front of Tian Shou many times. Tian Shou originally looked down on Tian Pan, because Tian Pan was promoted by Tian Ji and Sun Bin to become a general. Otherwise, how could he become a general at such a young age. Tian Ji robbed Tian Shou of his position as a general, so naturally Tian Shou couldn’t stand Tian Pan. Tian Pan was relatively young and energetic. I concluded that he would persuade Tian Shou not to go out to fight because Wei Cuo’s army broke through Liangfu, and Tian Shou would go to Qi State.The king's order is to go out of the pass to fight with our army and defeat our army. Tian Shou will definitely not want to listen to Tian's words, and Tian Pan will definitely have a dispute with him. In addition, someone has been slandering Tian Pan before, so Tian Shou will definitely send someone to secretly follow Tian Pan. The letter I wrote is a letter of denunciation, which makes Tian Shou mistakenly think that Tian Pan wants to accuse Tian Shou of using troops to the king. In this way, Tian Shou will definitely use the excuse of interfering with military affairs to take him back to Linzi. Moreover, Tian Pan is the son of the uncle of the king of Qi, and he has a little relationship with Zou Ji. Tian Shou will not dare to kill him! Once Tian Pan left, only a small Tian Fang was left, who was not to be feared at all, and his deputy general was our Wei army spy! Otherwise, how could this Qingshi Pass open the door automatically? You must use spies well in war! "Everyone said: "The general is really a god in using troops! ”

Qi State Court

After receiving the battle report of Qingshi Pass, Duke Tian Wu of Qi almost fell off the throne. The ministers below were puzzled to see the king so panicked. Prime Minister Zou Ji asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what happened at Qingshi Pass?"

Tian Wu said tremblingly: "Qingshi Pass has been breached by the Wei army!"

"What!" The ministers below shouted in surprise. Qingshi Pass was breached, so Linzi was below. All the ministers vaguely felt that the 200,000 troops in Tian Shou's hands were gone again.

Tian Wu hurriedly asked: "Everyone, now that Qingshi Pass has been breached, who should be sent to guard Linzi? "All the ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Only Prime Minister Zou Ji kept thinking. Finally, Zou Ji frowned, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now my Qi State is in a critical moment. We have no choice but to release Tian Ji and Sun Bin. It seems that only these two can defeat the Wei army!"

After listening to the Prime Minister's words, Tian Wu hurriedly said: "Well, as the Prime Minister said, I will release Tian Ji and Sun Bin immediately. I decided to reappoint Tian Ji as the general and Sun Bin as the military advisor! ”——Your Majesty is wise!

After Tian Ji and Sun Bin were released, they were quickly brought to the court. Duke Tian Wu of Qi personally removed the handcuffs for them. Tian Wu said worriedly: "It was my mistake to arrest the two of you. Now Qi is in a critical moment. Qingshi Pass has been breached by the Wei-Han coalition forces. Tian Shou's 200,000 troops have also been annihilated by the Wei army and are approaching Linzi. Please help Qi resist the Wei-Han coalition forces!"

Tian Ji was originally a loyal and patriotic person. Hearing that Qi was in such a critical situation, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Tian Ji is not talented, but Qi is in danger, I, Tian Ji, am willing to stand up!" Sun Bin also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since Qi is in danger, Sun Bin is also willing to stand up!"

After hearing this, Tian Wu's heart was instantly happy, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "You two are thoughtful, make a decision. Tian Ji continued to serve as the general, and Sun Bin as the military advisor! "Sun Bin asked again: "Your Majesty, you just said that my Qi army of 200,000 was annihilated by the Wei army, so how many martial artists were included in this 200,000 people?" Tian Wu touched his eyebrows and smiled: "All the 100,000 martial artists in the country are gone!" Sun Bin's face changed after hearing this.Gone again, this Tian Shou is too bad, at least he can run back tens of thousands of people.

Sun Bin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to sign a city treaty with the Wei-Han coalition. Now Qi has no fighting power, so it is better to cede land and pay compensation! But I promise that in three years, I will definitely train another 100,000 martial arts fighters and will definitely avenge the previous shame!" Tian Wu heard that Sun Bin said it was better to cede land, and asked again: "Did Mr. Sun Bin really sign a city treaty with the Wei-Han coalition?"

Sun Bin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, if you can still escape 10,000 or 20,000 people, I will definitely find a way to defeat the Wei-Han coalition, but I estimate that there should not be many defenders in Linzi City, right? If we summon defenders from all over the country to protect the capital, it will take a lot of time. It is better to sign a city treaty. Gentleman Ten years is not too late for revenge!"

After listening to Sun Bin's words, Tian Wu sighed and said, "Well, let's follow Mr. Sun Bin's words and sign a city treaty for the Han coalition army!"

Sun Bin said again, "Your Majesty, I think Zhao has occupied those cities in the north, and if they are lost, they are lost, but the Huai and Si lands occupied by Chu must be taken back. I think Yue should take the opportunity to attack Chu." Tian Wu asked, "Mr. Sun Bin, do you want to ask Qin to attack Wei?"

Sun Bin shook his head again and said, "No, Qin had nearly 300,000 beheaded by Wei before, and Qin lost half of Guanzhong, and the awakening of Wei made the national productivity Prices are rising, and all the horses on the pasture have been bought by the Wei people. It is estimated that they are powerless to send troops! So we can only ask Yue to send troops to attack Chu! Moreover, I am sure that Wei will not help Chu. Wei defeated Qin and my Qi. Now the only two countries that can threaten Wei are Chu and Zhao. Wei will not give up every moment to weaken Chu. It will definitely add insult to injury and even ask Chu to make some concessions before it can support Chu. However, Chu is also a strong country and will definitely not make concessions. It will only swallow the bitter fruit to resist Yue's attack and then lead the army to recapture part of Huaisi land! "

Tian Wu asked puzzledly : "Why did Mr. Sun Bin only take back part of it?" Sun Bin explained: "Your Majesty, if Chu does not gain any benefit from this attack, it may have a grudge with Qi and even fight to the end. It is better to give him some territory. This way, Chu can be weakened and some land can be taken back. It is also a gesture of goodwill to Chu, hoping that Chu and Qi will form a secret alliance. Your Majesty, think about it. Now Wei has destroyed Lu and Teng. Who can guarantee which country it will destroy next? Chu must be afraid of Wei and will be willing to form a secret alliance with Qi!"

Tian Wu nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as Mr. Sun Bin said!"
