Since the Zhao army in Handan was stronger and gradually surpassed the Qin army in Wu'an, Handan began to plot to annihilate the Qin army. After Bing Cao and other spies got the news, they reported it to Hu Yang urgently and asked him to prepare to retreat. In order to expand the results of the war, Hu Yang

He came up with a plan and asked Zhonglang, a pedestrian who had just arrived in the army, to go to the Zhao camp under the guise of the king's will to work for the army. He found a jade belt with a jade hook from the city and gave it to Zhao She as a gift from the King of Qin.

The public servant who helped Zhonglang placed the jade belt he was carrying in front of Zhao She's banquet. Zhao She glanced at it lightly, crossed his hands and said: "If the king has a reward, I should not refuse it. But if the king has a fault, I should point it out."

Zhao and Qin were brothers. Since Zhao was a prince, he had not dared to be disrespectful to Qin. Zhao got his jade and Qin wanted to trade it with fifteen cities. Zhao brought the jade to Qin. Qin wanted to meet Zhao in Mianchi.

, King Zhao traveled thousands of miles away to see him, but he was deceived by Qin. Now Qin entered the territory of Zhao without any reason, and promised to attack Yanyu, but actually went to the outskirts of the country. The minister was ordered to protect Yanyu, so he followed Qin into Handan.

We haven't received the king's order yet, so we stopped the army and waited for him. Maybe the king gave the order, but I didn't dare to say goodbye even though I risked my life. It's not like what the king said. The king's gift may be wrong, and I don't dare to accept it!"

Zhonglang said: "Today brothers are fighting against each other, and they are fighting against each other. This is not a blessing to the country. As a general, as the commander of the Zhao Kingdom, he would rather not work for Zhao! There are three small towns in the east of Jidong, and the king gave them to me.

But if you harvest it, won’t it be accepted by the world?

Laugh! Qin’s ministers were dissatisfied and went to Handan to plead their grievances. The general would rather have nothing to do with him! Now he is tolerated by the general and is temporarily kept in Wu’an. I hope his grievances will be heard by the king. If he is not heard, he will be punished.

Knock on the palace gate and beat the drum."

Zhao Kuo said: "The king of Zhao has gathered a hundred thousand people, and the above officials are honest and honest generals. They will beat the drum and attack them. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed!"

Zhao She shouted: "My son, how can a child like Huang Kou take care of important national affairs?" Then he turned to Zhonglang and said, "I am ignorant, so don't be guilty by the king's envoy!"

Zhonglang said: "My king, taking advantage of the good deeds, wants the two countries to turn their armies into armor, and both of them are holding jade and silk, so I dare to give each other the jade and silk. General, I want the jade to be broken into pieces!"

Zhao She said: "In the past, gentlemen were as virtuous as jade. Being gentle and lustrous meant benevolence; being meticulous with chestnuts meant knowing; being honest but not pruning meant being righteous; hanging it down like a pendant meant being polite; knocking on it made the sound clearer and longer.

, its final result is joyful; flaw

Not covering up one's excellence, not covering one's faults, is loyalty; Fuyinpanda is faith; Qi is like a white rainbow, heaven; spirit is seen in mountains and rivers, earth; Guizhang Teda is virtue. How can it belong to me? Throw it away.

The ravines are the same as the mud and dust!"

Zhonglang said: "I would like to offer my general Hu Yang to the general. He has the same heart and mind as the general. If unfortunately he gets into a fight, I am willing to avoid it!"

Zhao She said: "I don't know that the Qin army general Hu Yang is also there. If unfortunately he fights, I will treat him in the ravine."

Zhonglang said: "My mission has been fulfilled, and I am willing to return!"

Zhao She said: "I observe that the king's envoy is also a brave man. He enters the bush of axes and axes alone without blinking his eyelids! Why stingy a meal!"

Zhonglang said: "I am deeply impressed by the general's virtue!"

So Zhao She ordered Zhao Kuo to go down and prepare for the banquet. He and the three of them went out of the tent and called all the generals to meet together. Everyone expressed their admiration to each other without mentioning military matters. After a while, the banquet was over and the guests and hosts were all gone.

joyous!

It was Zhao Kuo who came to see Zhonglang off, so the jade belt was naturally carried back by public transport. After returning to the tent, Zhao She asked Zhao Kuo calmly, "Why did the Qin people come here?"

Zhao Kuo said: "It must not have been sent by King Qin!"

Zhao She said: "How do you know it?"

Zhao Kuo said: "Handan and Xianyang have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and there are dangers and obstacles in between. If you come across the river, Zhao will hear about it first; if you pass by Shangdang, you will not arrive."

Zhao She said: "But what is the purpose of pretending to be the King of Qin and sending him to the camp?"

Zhao Kuo said: "Maybe we should alienate the emperor and his ministers!"

Zhao She said: "His deeds are obvious. King Zhao must be wise enough to see through it. He cannot succeed!"

Zhao Kuo said: "When you are in a hurry, you may have no other plan, but you can just do it and see how effective it is."

Zhao She said: "If it is true, I have nothing to worry about. I am afraid I will lose it! What are the people of Qin doing today?"

Zhao Kuo said: "The patrol found out that the Qin people have done their best in the city, and it seems that they are about to leave."

Zhao She said: "Qin is about to leave. How can you threaten him with big words? Talk about leaving for a while? What do you fear when you hear his words?"

Zhao Kuo said: "The general is angry and comes to attack!"

Zhao She said: "We can't attack it, we must leave! Qin is about to leave, and he is afraid that I will sneak up behind him, so he threatens him with loud words..."

Zhao Kuo said: "What will the general do now?"

Zhao She said: "Let the generals enter their accounts - don't make any noise!"

All the troops were about to be called into the big tent. Zhao She said: "The Qin people are about to retreat. We must attack them urgently and don't let them retreat!" He did not discuss with the others, but ordered to prepare five thousand elite soldiers and five days of dry food.

Led by Zhao Kuo, he quickly rushed to Yanyu. "If the Qin people sneak in, they should be blocked in the mountains and streams." In order not to alert the Qin army.

, forcing them to decide to retreat. The entire army continued to patrol as usual the next day, but they had to secretly prepare dry food for five days. Once the order was given, all the baggage was abandoned, and the entire army rushed to Yanyu with light equipment. The old and weak returned to Handan. Everything

All must be kept secret, and Zhao Kuo's actions must be carried out quietly! The generals are ordered to go back and prepare.

Zhao She personally directed the secret operation tonight. He first went to the Qin camp and sent out double secret sentries to prevent the Qin people from peeking. Then he personally ordered the generals and prepared five thousand Zhao troops, equipped with officers, gathered dry food, and all were well-armed soldiers. The cock crows.

During the first pass, each battalion set off in sequence. They went north along the strong wall, crossed the Beiming River, and headed straight towards Yanyu along the road that the Qin army used to go down the mountain.

Due to the insufficient strength of the Qin army, only a small number of troops were left in the Beiming River Valley to occupy the city and maintain law and order. Zhao Kuo led his men around the city, avoiding the Qin patrols, and quickly entered the mountains without anyone noticing.

The next day, there was a noise from Cishan. The Qin army arrived at Cishan and forcibly collected ferries. Cishan is an iron city, and a large amount of heavy iron and iron tools have to be transported out. It is too inefficient for people to carry it on their shoulders. The best strategy is to pass

Waterways are used to transport them out by ship. Therefore, there are developed water transportation systems around large iron mines. The Qin army asked each iron merchant to hand over their own transport ships to the Qin army for five days. Iron

Ware manufacturing is a large-scale production, thousands of people gather together, and they all rely on the sale of high value-added ironware to support themselves. If production is stopped for a day, people will chew pigs, which costs a lot. The Qin army used to go to Cishan to purchase ironware, mainly

It is an iron weapon, and it is a fair trade, but this time it is different. The attitude is tough and hardened, without any accommodation, and even chopped off a few heads. Cishan was panicked for a moment.

Zhao She reported back to the spies sent by Cishan that there were about a thousand troops entering Cishan, and hundreds of ships had been detained. There were no ships sailing on the Fushui River, only those returning!

Zhao She had a thought in his mind: Is the Qin army going to escape from Nankou through Fu River? But he immediately rejected this idea. The Great Wall also belongs to the outer suburbs of Handan and is a key defensive area in Handan. There are usually a lot of troops stationed there, but in emergencies, there are still many troops stationed there.

More will be mobilized. As long as the Great Wall can

With three days of support, reinforcements from Handan can arrive. Outside the Great Wall, there is still Ye blocking the other side of the Zhang River! Zhao She passed this news to Handan and the Great Wall, asking them to be more vigilant and not to be attacked by the Qin people. He still

Secretly preparing to attack Yanyu tonight.

At night, another ten thousand elites gathered together, and Zhao She personally led them and went straight to Yanyu. Unlike Zhao Kuo who carefully avoided the cities occupied by the Qin army in the river valley, Zhao She's army passed directly through the river valley.

The people in the city watched the large number of troops rolling past the city. They could only wait and watch at the top of the city and did not dare to attack the city.

After Zhao She's army passed, the officials of the city immediately reported to Hu Yang...

Hu Yang immediately notified Sima Jin and took action immediately. Then the drums were beating loudly in the city. About an hour later, Sima Jin had completely assembled his troops and marched towards the valley mouth in the south overnight.

Wang Lun's army got up when the rooster crowed and cooked rice at dawn. When the early spring sun rose from the horizon, the Qin army rumbled towards the mouth of the valley beside the Mingshui River in the east.

After Zhao She and Zhao Kuo led their elite troops to leave respectively, only the old and the weak were left. Through the morning light and mist, they saw the Qin army approaching covering the sky, and the war drums were beaten immediately in the camp. At this time, the main officials in the camp all

They had already followed Zhao She to Yanyu, and the people here were at a loss. Although the formation was arranged according to the arrangements made by lower-level officials, there were neither flags nor golden drums. The Qin people fired a volley and the army formation was scattered!

Hu Yang asked Wang Hao to lead a thousand men to pursue quickly and seize the eastern valley mouth as soon as possible to open a way out for the army. He led the remaining men to move forward in a combat formation, maintaining a posture ready for combat at any time.

Sima Jin led his army to the source of the Fu River after dawn, where two to three hundred boats had already gathered. Sima Jin ordered a public servant to lead 2,000 people by boat down the Fu River, and rushed straight to the Great Wall. He led the main force

Follow up along the Fushui River.

The defenders of the Great Wall opened the city gates at dawn on time, and the merchants and travelers who had been waiting there came in one by one. The other soldiers were sitting in the camp, with breakfast boiling hot on the stove.

Suddenly, the sound of drums sounded like a mountain collapsing and the earth was cracking. Before the drums could finish beating, they suddenly stopped. Before the soldiers of each battalion understood what was going on, they heard soldiers outside the camp shouting: "The Qin people have entered the city! The Qin people have entered the city!"

Enter the city!" The soldiers in the camp looked up and saw

The overwhelming Zhao army fled in all directions. So the soldiers in the camp had no time to eat, and they dispersed without paying attention to the officers' shouts! Two hours later, near noon, Sima Jin's army arrived at the Great Wall. The city gate had been closed.

, a river of blood flowed under the city gate!

Wang Hao personally led a thousand men in pursuit out of the valley, stabbing countless Zhao soldiers along the way, but none of them had time to behead them.

Less than half of the Zhao army who ran out of the valley were old and weak. Their appearance was equivalent to calling the police in Handan. When Wang Hao rushed out of the valley, the beacon tower at the foot of the mountain had already lit up the smoke, soaring into the sky. The drums in Handan City were loud, and everyone

Drums were also beaten in every township, and the villagers gathered together and hurried to Handan.

Wang Hao stood at the mouth of the valley, looking at the city of Handan at the foot of the hillside, shrouded in morning fog and smoke; wind and dust billowing from all sides, covering half of the sky, turning the red sun into gray, and turning the clear sky into a haze.
