In the middle of the night, Zhao Cong left 50,000 to guard the camp to prevent Wang Qian's army, personally led the 50,000 army, and secretly went down the mountain to the east to prepare for a sneak attack on the camp in Montenegro.

As soon as the two hundred young men came down the mountain, half of them fled, and they were so angry that Lu Jia stomped his feet. In the end, Lu Jia couldn't resist the persuasion left and right, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and fled into the mountains. is in response to that sentence: the bustle of the world is for profit, and the world is bright for profit.

Zhao Cong couldn't wait for the signal of the young heroes, and was hesitating, when a raging fire suddenly ignited on the top of the mountain on both sides, illuminating the sky within a radius of fifty miles.

Zhao Cong knew in his heart that it was not good, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack! Suddenly, the torches were like stars in the sky, illuminating the battlefield like daylight, and the sound of killing shook the sky! There are only 24,000 people left in Montenegro and Uncle Le, relying on improvised fortifications to resist to the death!

Wang Jian found the big beacon fire behind the Zhao army and immediately ordered to storm the party defense line overnight.

Two days ago, Yang Duanhe on the southern front had broken through the Yecheng defense line, and Yan Ji, the chief general of the Zhao army, was killed in battle. Yang Duanhe and the army approached Wu'an in the north, and sent Xin Sheng to lead 30,000 cavalry troops to the northwest in the direction of Shangdang, preparing to meet Wang Qian's army! Traveling to camp forty miles away from Shangdang, and seeing two large beacons behind the Shangdang Zhao army in the middle of the night, Xin Sheng immediately ordered a hurried march to the beacon fire overnight!

Since the beacon fire was lit on the mountain, Zhao Cong knew that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the whole army to be divided into four divisions, and took turns to attack the Black Mountain Department non-stop. Although Montenegro had been prepared for a long time, it was still narrowly broken several times, and in the end, it could only send the lightly injured Qin soldiers to the battlefield.

Zhao Cong was directing the attack in the back, and suddenly saw two fire dragons rushing down from the mountains on both sides, and he didn't know how many Qin troops there were for a while, and he was about to divide his troops to fight, when suddenly the rear army was in chaos, and the sound of killing shook the sky! Hurriedly turned around to check, and saw a team of Qin troops, there were not many of them, and the one who rushed to the front was the big fat man who killed the most people during the day, and he was already fighting with his own short soldiers! Zhao Cong immediately pulled out his long sword and commanded the men and horses to deal with these people behind him first!

The carpenter was looking for the target with eagle-like eyes, and saw that dozens of steps away, a long-bearded Zhao general, wearing a bright red battle robe, was directing the battle, and immediately bent his bow and arrows with more than a dozen archers around him, shooting at the red-robed general!

Zhao Cong heard the melodious whistle from far and near, and before he had time to react, he had been hit by several arrows in the chest, fell off the horse, and died on the spot. As soon as the main general Zhao Cong died, the Zhao army was immediately in chaos!

Shi Fatzi immediately ordered the attack to stop, and let everyone shout in unison: "Zhao Cong is dead, surrender and go home, the Qin army will not kill the prisoners!" "This is also the news that they have won in Montenegro! Montenegro heard it and ordered it to shout in unison!

Tens of thousands of Zhao troops heard it correctly, and they no longer had the intention of fighting, some laid down their arms and surrendered, and most of the routed troops fled south. Montenegro is short of troops, so he can only watch the rout flee! Suddenly, the rout retreated, laid down their arms, and no longer resisted! It turned out that Xin Sheng's 30,000 reinforcements had also arrived, and they had just blocked them back!

"Montenegro, you can do it! Less is more, and so many prisoners are captured at once! Leave us some credit! Xin Sheng said with a smile.

Montenegro was overjoyed when he saw Xin Sheng, and he didn't have time to elaborate, so he suggested: "General Xin, General Wang Jian must be attacking the Zhao army's fortress defense, you immediately divide 20,000 troops, and if you go from here to respond, you will definitely win!" Leave some of them to help me guard the captives! ”

Xin Sheng jokingly said, "Okay! Now I'm at your disposal! Then he turned his head and ordered: "10,000 people stay, listen to the dispatch of General Montenegro, 20,000 people come with me, if you are slow, you will run in vain, and others will take all the credit!" ”

The next day, it happened to be the first day of the eighth year of Zhao Wangqian, Zhao State still had 600,000 troops two months ago, and now only tens of thousands of people who fled back from the Southern Route Army remained, all of them were wiped out, and it was only forty days before Li Mu committed suicide!

Wang Jian ordered the army to rest for two days before marching to Handan!

Montenegro personally visited and comforted wounded soldiers after each battle. Last night, more than 1,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 wounded. Many of the wounded soldiers would pretend to be in pain in exchange for a reassurance from the fairies in white, and some would make faces at the wounded soldiers next to them while shouting in pain. But no one dared to despise the fairies in white.

"General Montenegro!" Montenegro suddenly heard a familiar female voice, and turned his head to see that a plump female general in white clothes, white hats, and white masks was not a big girl!

Old friends met, the two took a walk together, and the big girl was no longer a female pawn's wife, but a female general in charge of more than 10,000 medical soldiers. She complained: "I knew you were coming to the front, and I didn't come to see me!" Is there a new love for a long time, forget the old one! ”

Montenegro looked at the snow in the distant mountains, and after last night's battle, countless migrant workers were carrying Zhao Jun's mountain-like corpse! sighed: "I just came a few days ago, and I went north to Yanmen County, just to meet you, this hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of miles of camps, where can I find it!" ”

"Someone proposed to me, I don't know if I should say yes or not?" The big girl lowered her head and said softly. How she hoped that the man in front of her, who was eight years younger than herself, would be furious and say loudly, I don't agree!

"You are a gentle, considerate, and understanding girl, whoever marries you will be very happy!" Montenegro said calmly.

"In your heart, will I always be just one of your pawn wives?" The chick asked, sadly.

"So far you are my only pawn wife, although you stole my first time, but I don't have to be responsible for you! If you think that person is good, then get married! Montenegro knew what the girl was thinking, although her heart was sour, she had to say so.

The big girl shed two lines of tears and said strongly: "I know! Thank you, our more than fifty sisters are now officers with knighthoods, and all of them have become fairies in white that everyone respects! We are all grateful to you! You were the one who turned us female slaves into fairies in white! ”

"It's mainly because you have changed your destiny." Montenegro said.

"We seem to be strangers a lot, and we can't go back to the past!" The eldest girl sighed and said, "I think back to when I was in Daying City, every time you went out to fight and came back, you had to hug me first and make love for a long time." ”

"At that time, you were my pawn wife! Now you're the female general of Great Qin! The female general in charge of 10,000 fairies in white is here! Big girl, we're all going to grow up! But friendship can't be changed! Montenegro said. In fact, he also wanted to rush over, hug her, and make out violently, in front of the snow in the sky, when there was a mountain of corpses in front of him, and the thick smell of blood in the air!

"General, the general will let you come over!" Zhang Jin ran over and reported.

Montenegro escapes from the tearful gaze of the big girl and comes to the shogunate! Inside the shogunate, Montenegro met his old buddy, General Baturu.

"You're here too!" Montenegro hugged Baturu and punched him in the chest.

"You came first, and I'm here too!" After Baturu finished speaking, he also smashed it heavily on Montenegro's chest!

The two of them stroked their aching chests. Laughing again.

"Montenegro, Baturu has brought 20,000 cavalry, most of them your old subordinates! Now under your account, you will set off tomorrow and march to Handan as fast as possible to prevent Guo Kaigou from jumping over the wall to kill the general's family! The brigade is right behind you! Wang Jian ordered!

"No!" Montenegro and Baturu echoed in unison.

That night, Montenegro set up a military banquet to entertain his subordinates! Catch the wind for Baturu! also specially called the big girl and her old subordinates! A group of people reunited after a long absence, and they got together again! It's like you're back in the ice and snow world! But there is a lot less atmosphere, in the past, men always had to do something to women, and women would pretend to be angry and run after men! Now these are no longer pawn wives, but female generals with knighthood and officials! Each one is a fairy in white that everyone respects. Even bragged more than once before that there were more than 50 people in the wife's camp, except for the big girl, all the Mi Long who had slept was also a serious drinker. After a period of greetings, everyone sang again! The loud chorus immediately resounded through the clouds. Since I left Daying City, I have never sung so happily!

The next day, the army of more than 40,000 people marched to Handan! The cities that passed by along the way, all opened their doors and surrendered! Some of the city governors had fled, but the gates were not closed, and there was no atmosphere of facing a great enemy. In order to hurry, Montenegro did not enter the city at all during the day, but just issued four Great Qin flags to the surrendered city, and asked them to hang on the four city walls, waiting for the reception behind! In the evening, I will go to the city to stay and eat, and prepare dry food for the next day! Three days later, the army was already under the city of Handan. The four gates of Handan were closed, and there were still 130,000 defeated troops who fled back from Ye County within the city walls. Montenegro did not attack the city, but only camped at the west gate and waited for it!

It has been 158 years since the city of Handan moved its capital here by the Marquis of Zhao Su. It is bordered by the Taihang Mountains in the west, the Great Plains in the east, and the hilly land in the north and south. The city is 3,200 meters from east to west and 5,000 meters from north to south. Later, the successive generations of Zhao Wang added and repaired several times, the city is as high as more than 20 meters, and the width is 25 meters to 40 meters. It is the strongest capital of the Warring States! Thirty-two years ago, the Qin army had just killed 450,000 Zhao troops in Changping, and only 60,000 old and weak soldiers were left in Handan. Until Wei Wuji, the Xinling monarch of Wei, stole talismans to save Zhao and defeat the Qin army. Handan Jiancheng has been famous all over the world since then.

But the current Zhao State is no longer the Zhao State of 32 years ago, when the whole country hated the same enemy and was united! Although there are still 130,000 elite soldiers in the city, everyone is in danger! Since Li Mu's death, countless officials and soldiers have fled in the Zhao Kingdom!

Since the Qin army appeared in Xicheng, Guo Kai and his party panicked. The more than 200,000 people in Handan City are like silent little lambs, no one goes to the national capital to ask to join the army, and there is no impassioned talk in the market to save the country! Since Li Mu's death, there have been nobles or ordinary people fleeing Handan every day, and most of those who have not left have stayed at home and not gone out. The usually bustling teahouse and restaurant are now full of doors.

Prime Minister Guo Kai and Dun Wei talked countless times, and Guo Kai insisted on being the fake king of Zhao after surrendering. He said to the weak: "I, Guo Kai, killed Li Mu with a one-man strategy, got rid of the great trouble of King Qin's henchmen, and gave the entire Zhao Kingdom to King Qin and made a fake king, which is not too much at all." ”

Dun Miao just replied indifferently: "In the future, there can only be one king in the world, and that person must be the king of Qin." The other kings will either die or become rich men in the Qin State! ”

Later, Guo Kai lowered the conditions for surrender to Wanhuhou, but he still did not agree! It's just that the person said indifferently: "General Meng Tian killed 400,000 Huns in a battle, and he is only the chief of the army!" Your merits can only be rewarded after surrender! "The two of them broke up every time!

Guo Kai's nephew, Guo Yong, suggested: "The reason why the King of Qin doesn't take us seriously is because the Zhao State has been defeated again and again. If we can hold on for a few months or a year, or win a battle or two, the King of Qin will agree to our request! Handan City has high walls and thick walls, and more than 30 years ago, it was able to hold Handan City for more than a year with 60,000 old and weak people, and finally defeated the Qin State. Now that we are not long after the autumn harvest, we just need to go outside the city and buy more surplus food for the people! 130,000 elite soldiers, it will definitely be able to hold on for a year! ”

Guo Kai was overjoyed and ordered Guo Yong to go out of the city to buy food! Guo Yong immediately led his troops and ransacked several surrounding counties! In addition to grain, countless treasures of gold and silver were brought back.

On this day, Guo Yong saw 40,000 Qin troops coming from outside the city, and said to Guo Kai: "The Qin army has come from afar, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, and the foothold is not stable, as long as you bring 20,000, you can catch him off guard." Increase your bargaining chips! ”

Guo Kai agreed, and immediately ordered Guo Yong to lead 20,000 troops out of the city to meet the battle.

When Montenegro saw that someone in the city had come out, he immediately ordered to be ready for battle! The subordinates seem to have seen countless heads come out to give credit! Everyone is excited and excited.

The Zhao army slowly drove out and moved towards the Qin army's camp. Seeing that the Zhao army who came out of the city had no soul and was listless, Montenegro had a plan, so that tens of thousands of Qin soldiers shouted in unison: "Put down your weapons and go home to farm!" "Lay down your arms and go home and land!" The louder the louder the louder, the higher the wave after the wave!

Suddenly, a miracle appeared, the Zhao army dropped their weapons one after another, and ran to all directions, and some even ran towards the Qin army empty-handed!

Montenegrin continues to shout: "Lay down your arms, go home and farm......"

More soldiers dropped their weapons and ran over! Guo Yong saw that the situation was not good, and he also turned around and ran into the city! When the soldiers who did not run saw that the main general had fled, they immediately threw down their weapons and fled in all directions! There were 20,000 troops, and only a few hundred people returned to the city with Guo Yong. All kinds of flags and weapons were scattered on the ground.

There were 5,000 people who ran to the Qin camp, and Montenegro ordered the battalion to entertain them with porridge and corn on the cob! A Zhao soldier gnawed on a corn cob and said to the others: "Listen to me, there's nothing wrong with running this way!" Eat corn on the cob! Run in other directions, in case you run into other Qin troops and be killed as a person, wouldn't it be a shame! ”

Montenegro just heard this Zhao Bing's words, so he came over and asked, "What is your name, why are you running away?" ”

"General Yu, the villain's name is Liu Dabing, and he is their chief! We are all from the counties around Handan, Zhao Yong led people to rob our family's food, and everyone was worried about the safety of our family, so we all wanted to escape home! Liu Dabing said.

Montenegro saw that he was articulate and a little clever!

He had the heart to receive the account, and said to Zhao Bing, who had escaped: "The 5,000 people who escaped, whose homes are in a nearby county, each will send ten grains and ten corn cobs." Send a hundred dollars for travel from afar, and you will go home by yourself. Then he said to the military judge: "Send them an examination and a pass, so that they don't have to be afraid even if they meet other Qin soldiers!" ”

When the soldiers of Zhao State heard this, they were all grateful.

"Can you let us go home and give us back food?" Liu Dabing asked in surprise.

"That's right! You can take food home! Montenegro said.

Zhao Guo's troops thanked one after another! What they are most worried about now is that their family will starve to death! With these grains, you will definitely be able to survive until spring, and you will not be afraid of starving to death if wild vegetables grow in the field!

"Liu Dabing, after you go home and see it, I hope you come back here again, join the Qin army, you bring back ten people, you are still a chief, bring back a hundred people, you are a centurion! Would you like to? Montenegro said.

"The general is the benefactor of each of our families! Let's go back and take a look, and as long as the general doesn't abandon us, we will return in five or seven days. Liu Dabing said.

"Don't come back all, there are old and young people in the family, just stay at home and live in peace." Montenegro said.

The soldiers carried the food and shouted to the city wall outside the city: "Brothers, lay down your arms and take the food home to visit your family!" ”

On the city wall, someone who knew Liu Dabing shouted:

"Liu Huatou, who are you fooling? The Qin people can still give you food for nothing! Watch out for an arrow from behind their back! ”

"Zhao Er, brother, how can I get you! A big bag of millet and ten corn cobs, it's sweet! If you don't believe you, you'll regret it! Liu Dabing asked everyone to take out the corn cobs in the bag and show them to the people in the city, and then they went home.

The Zhao army at the head of the city saw that they had gone far until they disappeared, and there was no escort from the Qin army behind them, so they believed it. Someone is planning to sneak out of the city at night with a rope and escape!

On the way back to their hometowns, the officials of Zhao State in the surrounding counties heard about it, and they ran to the tent in Montenegro to ask for surrender! The banners of the Qin State among the Black Mountain generals were all found, and each city was sent to four sides, so that they could go back and hang them at the head of the city, waiting for the follow-up troops of the Qin army to take over! A few days later, more than ten cities around Handan were all returned to Qin!

Uncle Le smiled and said to Montenegro: "In the past, I only knew about the soldiers who surrendered without a fight, but today I saw with my own eyes that the Montenegrin general took the city without a fight!" What an eye-opener! ”

"In fact, the real soldier is the King of Qin, and he has not yet started the war to take care of the Zhao people as Qin people! I just carried out his orders seriously! Wu Anjun just followed the wrong king, so he ended up in a different place. Montenegro sighed.

The escape of 20,000 Zhao soldiers made Guo Kai angry, which made him lose a lot of bargaining chips! The flight of soldiers continued, and thousands more fled the city that night. After dawn, Guo Kai had to send his cronies to the city wall to stabilize the situation!

A few days later, Li Xin captured more than 60 cities and also came to the north of the city to camp, and Yang Duanhe also led more than 100,000 troops to camp in the south!

Two days later, Wang Jian and Wang Ben and his son also arrived with an army of 200,000 and besieged Handan City!

Wang Jian listened to Montenegro's report! Laughing, brushing his white beard, he said, "Put down your weapons and go home to farm!" These eight words are worth 100,000 soldiers! Order the surrounding sergeants to keep shouting to the city! Whoever surrenders to whom the surrender is credited! The soldiers were all sent money and food to send them home. It's about to be spring, don't let Zhao Guo delay farming. ”

As soon as the general gave the order, the Qin troops on all sides immediately shouted, and the sergeants took turns to go into battle and shouted loudly!

Montenegro thought about it, put down his weapons again, went home to farm, and added a sentence that changed to "Put down your weapons, go home to farm, get money and food, go home to see your mother-in-law!" ”

Liu Dabing took more than 100 people to visit his relatives and came back, which became a ready-made teaching material, responsible for leading the troops and shouting at the city wall!

During the night, the Zhao army began to flee again, they killed Guo Kai's cronies, lowered the ropes, and slipped out of the city. At dawn, there were more than 20,000 people! And the west side of Montenegro accounts for more than 10,000! Many slipped down through the other gates and went around to the west to surrender. Wang Jian was curious and personally went to inspect outside the West Gate! See two more slogans from Montenegro! It immediately dawned on me and was full of praise. said: "Montenegro always does things differently, let's keep shouting like this, before King Qin arrives, Handan will be shouted down by us!" ”

"King Qin is coming to Handan? When will it arrive? Montenegro asked.

"I just received a military report, Wang Jia set off yesterday! It is estimated that it will be here in 10 days. Wang Jian replied.

"General, King Qin is an impatient, the last time he went to Yunzhong County, he said that it would take fifteen days, and it only took him five days to ride a fast horse." Montenegro replied.

"Yes! How did I forget this! Immediately ordered Xin Sheng, led an army of 100,000 cavalry, and guarded all the way from Handan to Xinzheng to protect the king of Qin. Wang Jian immediately ordered the people around him.

After another three days, every night there were Zhao troops who came to surrender! Guo Kai knew that if he waited any longer, the city would be empty! He will lose all value. Finally, on the fifth day of the siege, the city gate was opened and the city was weakened to leave the city and express his willingness to surrender immediately, which was less than three months before Li Mu's death!

Suddenly weakened out of the city, Guo Kai waited for a long time and didn't come back, and hurriedly sent someone out of the city to ask! Wang Jian only replied coldly: "I am not free these days, so I will be surrendered another day." ”

Wang Jian was indeed not available, because King Qin was about to arrive, and he was busy arranging the pick-up matter.

The king of Qin received the military report that the army was besieging Handan City, and immediately set off for Handan with a group of ministers. King Qin was indeed anxious, and when he left Xianyang, he took Zhao Gao and two thousand horses, abandoned the car and rode on horseback, and galloped towards Handan. It was only three days, and he came to the palace of King Zhao in Wu'an City to settle down. Wu'an City, just a few days after returning to Qin, many officials who surrendered have not yet received the official uniforms of Qin, and they ushered in a new supreme ruler! General Wang Jian and a group of generals are already here to greet him! Except for Uncle Le's 20,000 people, all of the Black Mountain Department were transferred to Wu'an City to escort! Baturu's 20,000 cavalry troops were in charge of the outside of the city, more than 10,000 lieutenants were in charge of the inside of the city, and 3,000 lang guarded the palace.

The king of Qin bathed in the palace under the attendants of the palace maids of Zhao State, changed into the crown of the balance, and then summoned the generals to inquire about the battle situation!

Wang Jian gave a detailed account of the various situations since the attack on Zhao. When the King of Qin heard that Montenegro not only made 20,000 Zhao troops flee with eight words, but also made tens of thousands of people surrender! Laughing and boasting:

"Montenegro, you can surprise the widow anywhere!"

Montenegro replied: "Your Majesty, it was you who first ordered that you should not kill the prisoners and beat and scold the prisoners at will, and that you should regard the Zhao people as Qin people, and I just conscientiously carried out the orders of the king and the general!" If it weren't for your foresight, how could there be a soldier who would surrender without a fight! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, I have found that sometimes it is easier for a corn cob to conquer an enemy than a Qin sword! Wang Jian said with a smile!

This may be what Mencius said about the invincibility of the benevolent! It seems that Confucianism is not useless! King Qin said, "In the future war of annihilation, let's use the invincible of benevolence combined with the military merit theory of the Legalists!" ”

"No!" All the generals answered in unison.
