The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Since Jucheng was occupied, Jingshe led the army to Tancheng. Along the way, deputy general Jingxiu said to Jingshe:"General, we have to pass Jiaoyuan Mountain ahead." Upon hearing this,

Jingshe ordered:"Order the scouts to go forward." Go and check!" After a while, the scouts came back and reported:"General, there is nothing abnormal ahead!"

Since they were ambushed by the Qi army before, the Chu army was already very scared. Jing She ordered:"The whole army is divided into four groups, one group at a time. Pass Jiaoyuan Mountain!"

The Chu army, led by Jing She, crossed Jiaoyuan Mountain in batches. When the Chu army passed through Jiaoyuan Mountain safely, Jingshe felt relieved. Lieutenant General Jing Xiu said:"General, it's getting late, why not camp here." Jing She looked at the sky and said,"Order the entire army to camp here!"——yes.

In the evening, Jingshe kept recalling the reasons why he was defeated and wrote down his war experience on bamboo slips. He thought to himself: Tian Ji, is this person really the one who defeated me? I played chess with Tian Ji before and found that this person can only be considered above average in his tactics. Could there be any advice from an expert? I have been thinking hard in my heart.

At this time, Qu Yong came into the camp, saw Jing She depressed, and said:"General, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategists. Our army will definitely turn defeat into victory!"

Jing She saw that it was Qu Yong and said,"Qu Yong, in this battle I The defeat of the army does not seem to be Tian Ji's plan. I also know Tian Ji, and the soldiers are only under my command. I suspect that an expert is telling him." After hearing this,

Qu Yong gave up his doubts and also After thinking for a while, he asked,"Could the general be from the state of Wei?" When Jingshe heard about the state of Wei, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

In the Battle of Fangcheng that year, he was defeated by General Pang Juan of the State of Wei. As a result, the State of Chu could only temporarily sue for peace with the State of Wei, and a large country ceded territory to the State of Wei. That war was his most painful war. During the war, only less than 30,000 Chu troops returned from the 100,000-strong Chu army. His younger brother Jinghua also died in that war.

Jing She also thought for a while and said:"If among all the countries in the world, the only one who can defeat me is Pang Juan, the general of Wei. Looking at all the generals of Wei, I only think highly of Pang Juan, because he is the only one who can defeat me." I almost lost my confidence in the fight!"

After listening to Jing She's words, Qu Yong also remembered the Battle of Fangcheng that year. At that time, the Wei army was desperately trying to survive. It was originally a dead end, but he was saved by the Wei army and fought. They were almost wiped out.

Qu Yong said:"General, could it be that Pang Juan of Wei State secretly informed Qi State, causing Chu and Qi to fight fiercely, and then they, Wei State, would take advantage of it?"

Jing She also nodded after hearing this. He nodded and said:"It's very possible. Give this letter to the king as soon as possible and inform the king that there have been changes in this war!"——obey.

In the early morning, the Chu army continued to advance for an unknown period of time. Jing She stood on the chariot. He had been very nervous along the way, worried that the Qi army would suddenly attack them again. Therefore, Jing She also carefully observed the surroundings. At this time, the deputy general Jing Xiu said:"General, in front of us is Yushan. Our army Do you want to send scouts to check?" After hearing this, Jing She said:"Order the scouts to go check, the whole army is divided into four batches, and batches will go over later!"——yes.

After the scout came back, he said:"General, there is nothing unusual in the front!" Jingshe Tingxin breathed a sigh of relief because there was no suitable place for an ambush in the front, and said:"The whole army will advance and reach Tancheng quickly." Since there was nothing in front of him, he said It can be used as a place for ambush, so the vigilance of the Chu army suddenly dropped. Little did they know that Shu Shui in front would be their burial place!

In a mountain forest next to Shu River, a Qi army was waiting for the Chu army to arrive. A captain complained:"We have been waiting here for so long, and the Chu army has not come yet. You said the man next to the general is called Sun Bin's people, can you? I'm almost going crazy waiting, this place is full of mosquitoes!" A general kicked him and said angrily:"Be quiet, you are the only one who talks the most in the whole army!" The captain immediately shut up. After seeing that General Pi didn't say anything about him, the captain whispered:"General, do you think the Chu army will really be defeated by our army's strategy? I feel that this strategy is too unreasonable." General Pi. He said angrily:"If you don't use this strategy, what kind of strategy should you use? Can you think of any good way to defeat the Chu army?" After hearing this, the captain said nothing more.

Suddenly, a scout came over and said:"General, the Chu army is here!" Su Ting, the general of the Qi army, heard the news from the scout and ordered:"The Chu army is here, order the whole army to get ready!"——yes.

The Chu army, led by Jing She, had already reached the Shu River. As long as they crossed the Shu River, they could reach Tancheng. Jing She was also very happy because he no longer had to worry about an ambush by the Qi army. The order was given:"The whole army rushes to the raft and prepares to cross the river!""Follow your order, general!" said the soldier on the side.

In two hours, the raft had been built, and Jingshe ordered:"The whole army crosses the river!" Since they only need to cross the Shu River to reach Tancheng, the Chu army did not take precautions.

The general of the Qi army solemnly said: Mr. Sun Bin is really good at predicting events! Seeing that the Chu army was halfway across the river, Su Ting stood up and said,"Soldiers, follow me to kill the Chu army!"

Just as the Chu army was crossing the river, a large number of Qi army soldiers suddenly appeared behind them. They were so shocked that they all grabbed the boat and tried to escape. As a result, some soldiers of the Chu army fell into the water in order to fight for the raft. The soldiers of the Qi army rushed in front of the Chu army. The Chu army was beaten and retreated. Everyone wanted to escape to the other side, but no general led the army to resist the Qi army. As a result, the Qi army was able to directly enter the Chu army's formation.

After seeing this, Jing She was helpless and could only order:"All soldiers cross the river quickly and stop blocking it." After hearing the general's order, the Chu army officers did not want to resist and fled to the other side of the river.

More than a hundred Qi army chariots rushed directly into the Chu army and strangled the Chu army soldiers crazily. At this time, the Chu army was already very scared and its morale was almost low. It had no fighting spirit and could only passively escape! Kill, kill~~ There were constant shouts of killing on the river bank. The river was dyed bright red, and many corpses were floating on the river.

Finally, all the soldiers of the Chu army fled to the other side of the river. When Jing She saw that most of the people had passed, he sighed and looked at the few troops behind him. From the original 200,000, there were only tens of thousands left. Reluctantly, he said:"All the soldiers in the army should withdraw to the Chu State as soon as possible!"

The deputy general Jing Xiu on the side asked puzzledly:"Why should the general withdraw to the Chu State?" Jing She replied:"It is surprising that the Qi army can conduct an ambush here. Our army is so It means that Tancheng has been recaptured by the Qi army. Therefore, our army can only retreat to the Chu State. We, the Chu State, have gained nothing from this war!" After deputy general Jing Xiu heard this, he could only follow the orders of the general.

The Battle of Huaisi ended with Qi's victory. However, due to King Chu's greed, Chu did not even get the land of Huaisi. Therefore, within a month, all countries in the world knew the final result of this war, and King Chu was ridiculed by all countries in the world!

A month later, King Chu of the Chu Kingdom looked at the battle report on the bamboo slips and looked at the Jingshe below. At this time, his heart was full of grief and anger. If he had not been too greedy at the time, he would not have done anything. No land was obtained.

The important ministers below thought that the King of Chu was going to be furious, so they all wiped their sweat for Jing She. As a result, the King of Chu just placed the bamboo slips on a few cases and did not have the impression of directly throwing the bamboo slips in people's faces.

There was no anger on King Chu's face as he said:"Da Sima, thank you for your hard work. I don't blame you for this battle. It was all because I was too greedy, which led to the defeat of my Chu army! I will no longer be greedy in the future!"

After everyone heard this, King Chu did not blame Jing She. They were all happy for Jing She. They were also happy for King Chu's magnanimity and his ability to correct his mistakes. They felt that the king was a king worth following! They all shouted:"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

After hearing what King Wang Chu said, Jingshe was very moved and said quickly:"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not blaming me. I will definitely repay Your Majesty for such a great kindness. I will always serve you." Keep this shame in your heart, and you will definitely make Qi pay the price in the future!"

After hearing Hou Jingshe's words, King Chu smiled and said,"Don't take it too seriously, Da Sima. Defeat is a common occurrence for military strategists. I will read your battle report. As mentioned above, do you think Wei is involved in this war?"

Jing She replied:"Your Majesty, I am only guessing, because I think the only person in the world who can defeat me is Pang Juan, the general of Wei! Because I also know the general of Qi State, Tian Ji. This person is not as good as me in using troops. I am very sure that he can defeat Tian Ji. That’s why I thought that Wei State was secretly helping Qi State with suggestions!"

King Chu heard Jing She’s words. After the analysis, there was a surge of anger in his heart, and he said:"If it is true that the Wei State interfered, then our Chu State and the Wei State are incompatible!" He also ordered:"Hurry up and send an envoy to Anyi of the Wei State to ask him if the Wei State is You are attacking Chu State from behind!"

Ling Yin Zhaoxie stood up and said,"Your Majesty, I think that if Wei State is really secretly helping Qi State, Chu State should not have too many conflicts with Wei State and should unite. Get up and jointly deal with Qi State. After all, Wei State has two allies behind it, South Korea and Zhao State are also very powerful. Now that the three Jins have united together, I think it is best for Chu State not to blame Wei State!"

The King of Chu said:"Don't worry, your Majesty, I won't do anything stupid. If the State of Wei is really helping behind the scenes, I, the State of Chu, will only hold grudges, and I will let the State of Wei understand in the future!""——Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
