The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

After the defeat of Zhao State, the Zhao army retreated to the Zhangshui area to set up defenses, while the Qin army, under the leadership of Zhang Xi, prepared to retreat to Chongquan.

In Yuanli City, Zhang Yu learned about Chongquan City after receiving a letter from a scout, and Long Jia also led the army to regain the lost territory, so there were no Wei soldiers to intercept near Luoyin.

Zhang Yu ordered:"Beat the drum and gather the generals." After all the generals arrived, Zhang Yu said:"Everyone, Long Jia is not prepared for our army to flee westward back to Chongquan. If we still stay in Yuanli City, we can only I will be completely wiped out by the Wei army here. Taking advantage of Long Jia's unpreparedness in Luoyin, I decided to break out, return to Chongquan, and defend the Wei army along the Luoshui River."

Ying Qian said:"General Zhang, how about we capture Luoyin?""No, once our army attacks Luoyin, Pang Juan will lead his troops to attack our army's rear. Once our army is attacked from two sides, it will be annihilated by the Wei army. Now it is best for our army to escape from the siege and return to Chongquan""obey."At this time, Pang Juan also received a secret report that the Qin army left Yuanli and fled to Chongquan to the west, and ordered:"The whole army pursues the Qin army, but cannot overtake it, and keep a distance of thirty miles from the Qin army. Lieutenant General Zhang Xun asked:"General, why don't you catch up with the Qin army and annihilate them all?"

Pang Juan replied:"The Art of War says: Don't chase the poor enemy." If our army catches up with the Qin army, the Qin army will be on the verge of life and death and will fight to the death. Therefore, if we do not catch up with the Qin army, our army only needs to tire the Qin army, which will make it easier for His Highness to ambush the Qin army.

After hearing this, Zhang Xun said:"General, I obey your orders."""Hurry, move forward quickly, the Wei army is behind our army. We can only cross the Luoshui River and return to defend Chongquan, so that our army can have a chance of survival. The entire army is advancing at full speed!"Zhang Yu shouted. After hearing this, the Qin army speeded up when life and death was at stake, just to prevent the Wei army from catching up. In this way, the Qin army fled to the shore of Luoshui. Zhang Yu urged:"Hurry, build a ship quickly. Just cross the river."After the Qin army built the ships, Zhang Juan divided the army into three groups to cross the river.

Pang Juan received the report from the scouts: After the Qin army crossed the river, Pang Juan ordered:"When the last group of Qin army crosses the river, attack immediately.

The deputy general on the side asked puzzledly:"General, at first you told us not to catch up with the Qin army, but the Qin army fought back with all its might. Why did you catch up with the Qin army to attack now?" Pang Juan laughed and said:"

At the beginning, the Qin army was in a life-and-death situation, so it did not catch up with the Qin army and attack the opponent. Now the Qin army has a retreat, and the Qin army soldiers all want to escape back to Chongquan, so naturally they have no fighting capacity. Therefore, You can fight the Qin army. After hearing this, the deputy general said with admiration:"The general is awesome. After this battle, the general will definitely be the best general in the world.""After hearing the lieutenant's praise, Pang Juan was very happy and ordered:"Attack"——obey.

At this time, the Qin army wanted to leave here as soon as possible and fled to Chongquan, but they were unprepared. Suddenly a Qin army soldier shouted loudly:"The Wei army is coming, everyone, run away!" After hearing this, all the Qin soldiers rushed to the ground. Everyone got on the boat and wanted to be the first to escape to the other side. Suddenly, the Wei army's chariots rushed towards the Qin army, mercilessly strangulating the Qin soldiers. The Qin army also wanted to be the first to board the boat, causing some Qin soldiers to fall into the river and drown alive.

When Duke Qin on the other side saw such a miserable scene, he said sadly:"Don't panic, don't panic!" An hour later, the Qin army had all crossed the Luoshui River, and the people on the other side and in the Luoshui River were left behind. Thousands of Qin army corpses. Zhang Yao looked at the back with no expression, but there was already constant regret in his heart, and said:"Go back to Chongquan."

Zhang Yuan had been thinking about a certain problem along the way. Suddenly, he immediately said:"Stop the whole army!" He immediately said to the scout general. Said:"Send scouts to the front to check if there is an ambush? Go quickly"——obey.

In Chongquan City, Wei Shen changed his strategy when the Qin army crossed the river. Wei Shen said to Gongsun Cuo:"General Gongsun, you have arranged flammable objects in the city. You have sprinkled strong wine and kerosene in Chongquan City. I Catch turtles in the urn and burn the Qin army in Chongquan City."

Gongsun Cuo asked:"Your Highness, why did you change your strategy temporarily?" Wei Shen replied:"General Gongsun, the leader of the Qin army, Zhang Xiu, is the number one general in the Qin State. He uses his troops cautiously. , may see through our army's plan, it is better to let the Qin army enter Chongquan City. Since the Qin army must be very exhausted in order to escape back to Chongquan, the Qin army must rest as soon as they return to Chongquan and will not go Investigate this problem in Chongquan City, so I want to burn the Qin army." After hearing this, Gongsun Cuo shouted:"Okay, what a brilliant idea."

Wei Shen said again:"General Gongsun, you can stay in Chongquan City with five thousand soldiers. , I will lead the rest of the army to lurk in the woods on the east side of Chongquan City. When the Qin army comes in, Zhang Yu will tell you to be on guard. You stay on the city tower until night, when the Qin army is resting, you will set off rockets and set fire to In Chongquan City, after the Qin army was attacked by fire, Zhang Yubi led his troops to retreat to Yueyang. I led the army to ambush Zhangqiao on the only way from Chongquan to Yueyang.""obey."

After receiving the report from the scouts, Zhang Yu led his troops back to Chongquan when he knew that there was no ambush ahead. After arriving at Chongquan, Zhang Yu finally felt relieved when he saw the black Qin flag on the city. The Qin army saw the black flag. The big Chinese character Qin written on the flag made the whole army relax.

After entering the city, Zhang Yu ordered:"The whole army rests, and the Chongquan garrison is responsible for defense."Zhang Yu also sat down, relaxed his spirit, and thought: From now on, I will definitely defeat Pang Juan and wash away the humiliation of this defeat. Zhang Yu said to his soldiers:"Tomorrow morning you will protect Duke Qin and return to the capital. Yueyang, I personally led an army of 40,000 to deal with Pang Juan. I don't believe that relying on the danger of Luoshui can't prevent Pang Juan from attacking. If he can really attack, then he can be regarded as a military saint in this world."Yes. Unfortunately, his idea will not be realized that night.

At night, Gongsun Cuo stood on the tower, observed that the Qin army in the city was sleeping soundly, and ordered:"Fire rockets!"Thousands of rockets were fired at the houses in the city. Due to the pouring of kerosene and spirits, the houses were set alight at once. Blown by the evening wind, the fire quickly spread throughout the city. For a while, the

Qin army in the city was Surrounded by fire, when the general of the Qin army came out and saw it, he understood that he had fallen into the Wei army's trick and said loudly:"Don't panic, the whole army will follow me out of the city.""Countless Qin troops were burned alive by the fire in their sleep. Duke Qin, Ying Qian and Ying Quliang led thousands of soldiers to put out the fire.

At this time, they happened to meet Zhang Xi, who knelt down and persuaded Duke Qin:"Your Majesty. , this fire can no longer be saved, follow me and flee westward to the capital city of Yueyang!"After Duke Qin saw it, he kept hesitating. Ying Quliang on the side also said:"Father, let's go. If we don't leave, we will all die here. If we escape back to Yueyang, there is a possibility of a comeback. After hearing this, Duke Qin said:"The whole army retreats.""

So Zhang Yu led the Qin army with less than 10,000 people to escape from Chongquan. At this time, Chongquan had turned into a city of fire, and the remaining Qin army was buried in the sea of ​​fire. Zhang Yu led the extremely tired Qin army and walked towards Yue. On the way to Yangyang, when he suddenly approached a mountain, thousands of arrows were fired, killing a large number of Wei soldiers. The Qin army shot down all of them in one fell swoop. Wei Shen stood behind and said to Zhang Xi:"General Zhang , I have been waiting here for a long time!"

When the Qin army saw Wei soldiers on all sides, they instantly lost the confidence to fight and ran away one after another. Zhang Yu shouted:"Form up a defensive formation! Don't panic!"Wei Shen saw Zhang Yu trying to get the Qin army to form a formation. He said to the crossbowmen on the side:"Capture the thief first, capture the king first, and I will shoot the Qin army commander to death."Hundreds of crossbowmen fired their arrows at the same time. From then on, the first general of the Qin State, Zhang Yu, was shot to death by random arrows.

When the Qin army saw that the general was dead, they became confused. Qin Gong was fighting between Ying Qian and Ying Ying. Quliang escaped with dozens of soldiers and headed for Yueyang. Wei Shen saw the corpses of the Qin army all over the ground and said to the soldiers on the side:"Tell the Marquis of Wei that Qin's 200,000-strong army, the entire army The Qin army's leader, Zhang Yu, has been killed by our army. Our army is preparing to start a counterattack."——obey.

The Duke of Wei

, who had received the battle report from the front, laughed loudly and said to the ministers:"Qin's 200,000-strong army has been completely wiped out by our army. The leader of the Qin army has been killed by our army. The shame of the Battle of Shimen has finally been washed away.!"

The ministers bowed to the Marquis of Wei and said,"The Kingdom of Wei will last for ten thousand years, the king will last for thousands of years, and the Kingdom of Wei will last for ten thousand years!" After hearing what the ministers said, the Marquis of Wei couldn’t help but rejoice and said,"Order General Pang Juan to attack Qin!"Your Majesty, Your Majesty,"

Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo beside him said,"It's time for Your Majesty to send envoys to South Korea to ask South Korea to surrender to our country." After hearing what Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo said, the Marquis of Wei asked,"My lords, , who should be sent to South Korea this time?" Duan Qianpeng, the doctor below, stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to South Korea and make South Korea surrender to our Wei State!" When the

Marquis of Wei heard that Duan Qianpeng was going, he immediately said:" Your Majesty, I will be sure to succeed immediately, so I will go to South Korea from your Majesty, Duan Qianpeng." Your Excellency Shengming. Gongshu Cuo said again:"Your Majesty, please don't be arrogant. This time our Wei State has been defeated by Qin, Han and Zhao in a row. There is Chu State to the south of our country and Qi State to the east. I don't know what these two countries are thinking. Please Your Majesty, it is better not to be too arrogant and be wary of the two countries."

The Marquis of Wei laughed and said,"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. General Pang alone has nothing to fear from Chu and Qi. Besides, General Pang is still in the battle of Fangcheng. Defeat Chu, and win seven battles and seven victories in the war with Qi. Qi and Chu are nothing, the prime minister does not have to worry." After hearing this, Gongshu Cuo did not persuade the Marquis of Wei anymore. He could only hope that these two countries would not have any influence on Wei. What ideas.

Korean Court

Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han, was extremely anxious. Since Xinzheng was besieged, the Marquis of Han could not know the situation outside and could only pray every day that the Zhao army could defeat the Wei army.

At this time, Han Ye, the Prime Minister of South Korea, entered the court and said to the Marquis of Han:"Your Majesty, the envoy from the State of Wei has come to ask for an audience." When Marquis Han heard that it was the envoy from the State of Wei, he quickly said:"Please invite the envoy from the State of Wei quickly. Come in, Prime Minister, please go and invite the Wei envoys in person. Don’t be lazy."——obey.
