Qin Wangji originally wanted to use force to take down Shangdang and expel the Zhao army. Zhao Wangdan took Lian Po, a famous general of Zhao State, and came to fight. Seeing that Qin and Zhao wanted peace, it was impossible. The two countries are destined to have a war.

Since war between the two countries cannot be avoided, there can only be one war.

However, after all, King Qin lived for more than sixty years and was the king of a country for more than forty years. The matter of attacking should not be done arbitrarily, but should be considered thoroughly. Especially when Qin and Zhao were fighting, what would happen to the princes when they learned about it.

When Qin Wangji saw that Han and Wei had no movement in attacking Shangdang, he thought that Han and Wei were weak and did not dare to be enemies of Qin. However, the State of Qin has two opponents, that is, the State of Chu and the State of Qi.

After the death of the king of Chu and the succession of the new king of Chu, he became friendly with the state of Qin. Subsequently, the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State fell in love with the Lu State.

The state of Chu took Chunshenjun Huang Xie as the general and sent troops to attack the state of Lu. The national strength of Lu is far less than that of Chu. The state of Chu marched forward and broke through the state of Lu, and the peak of the army arrived in Xuzhou. The state of Chu Valu successfully attracted the attention of the state of Qi.

Seeing Han and Wei, Qin Wangji did not dare to offend Qin, and the attention of Chu and Qi was in Lu. Qin State and Zhao State, one-on-one, Qin Wangji is naturally not afraid.

Qin Wangji also felt keenly that this was a good time to cut Zhao. So, Qin Wangji asked Gongzi to carry an edict as an envoy, urging Wang Ji to start a war with Zhao. The other side sent envoys to Yan to conclude an alliance and jointly attack Zhao.

Gongzi left Xianyang, hurried up, and arrived at the front line.

Gongzi Xuan came to the big tent in Wang Di's army, saw Wang Di and other generals, and shouted: "General Wang Di, the king has an edict." ”

Seeing that the King of Qin sent an edict, and the children of the clan came to announce the edict, Wang Di did not dare to slack off, led the generals, and said in a loud voice: "Wang Di, lead the generals to listen to the edict." ”

Gongzi unfolded the book and said in a loud voice: "Start a war with Zhao." ”

"Whoa." Wang Yi was not surprised when he heard these words.

Gongzi Xuan came to Wang Yu and said softly: "Among the princes of the Central Plains, only Zhao is not afraid of my Qin State. General Wang Di, the king hopes that you can beat Zhao Guo down. ”

Wang Yi said loudly: "The last general, live up to the king's trust." ”

Wang Ji ordered the messenger Gongzi to go down to rest, and the other side summoned the generals and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, the king ordered us to start a war with the Zhao State. How do you think you should fight this battle? ”

Wang Ling said: "The last general thought that the whole army would attack and fight a decisive battle with Zhao State. ”

Wang Ye also said: "The last general also agrees, and the whole army will attack." ”

The other generals said in unison: "The last general seconded the proposal." ”

"No." Wang Yi was not judged by the high morale of the generals. Wang Yi clearly knew that his opponent was Lian Po and should not be rash. Without the details of the incorruptible and the combat power of Zhao State, he would not choose the tactics of attacking with the whole army and fighting a decisive battle with Zhao.

Wang Ling saw that Wang Di was opposed, and took the initiative to ask for battle: "The last general, I am willing to lead 5,000 soldiers to go first and open the way for the general." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, our opponent is Lian Po, a veteran of Zhao State. When going to war, we must be cautious and not careless. Wang Yi looked at the generals and slowed down his voice and said: "In this battle, if we want to win, we can only win step by step, and fight steadily. Rushing forward will only lead to a complete defeat. ”

Although Wang Ling despised the combat strength of the Zhao army, he still did not dare to despise it in front of Lian Po, a veteran general of Zhao State, and asked: "General, how do you plan to fight against Lian Po." ”

"Everyone, look." Wang Yi pointed to the Kanyu map drawn in sheepskin hanging on the wall, "This is the topography map of Shangdang and Changping. ”

The generals looked and saw that the map of Kanyu depicted clear landforms, topography, mountains, rivers, and the distribution of military strength in Qin and Zhao.

Wang Yi said: "This mountain range, running from south to north, is one hundred and eighty miles long. The northern section is Laomaling, the middle section is Zhongtiao Ridge, and the southern section is Wuhengling. In the middle and southern sections, the mountains are steep and the roads are difficult to navigate, and there are endless Taihang Mountains in the west. The direction of our attack should be in the northern section of Laomaling. ”

Wang Ling said: "General, the terrain of Lao Maling is steep, and it is also a natural barrier. The Zhao army occupies the favorable terrain of Laomaling, and our attack will be blocked. ”

"That's what I'm worried about, too." Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I received a report from the scout, the main force of the Zhao army, and has just arrived in Changping. Lao Maling, whether it fell into the hands of Zhao Jun, I don't know. ”

"Lao Maling was taken by Zhao Jun, what should I do."

"Lao Maling falls into the hands of Zhao Guo, and Lian Po will definitely occupy the favorable terrain and intercept us. It will be difficult for us to cross this barrier. In the battlefield situation, we will be very passive. ”

Wang Ling looked at the direction of the mountain range drawn in front of him, and if Lao Maling really fell into the hands of Zhao Guo. The Zhao army built cities and occupied commanding heights at the passes, and the battle situation was indeed unfavorable to the Qin state. Qin's offensive will be blocked by this natural barrier.

"It is imperative that we race against Zhao Guo and seize Lao Maling." Wang Yi turned around, faced the generals, and shouted, "Wang Ye." ”

Wang Ye stepped forward and replied, "The last will be." ”

Wang Yi said: "We are not familiar with the terrain of Shangdang. Thou hast led two thousand men of the best men and thou hast gone ahead. Reconnoiter the topography of Laomaling and learn about the movements of the Zhao army. If the Zhao army occupies Laomaling, you must not act rashly. ”

"Whoa."

"Wang Ling, listen to orders."

Wang Ling said: "The last will be." ”

Wang Dao said: "You lead 20,000 soldiers to take Lao Maling." When Lao Maling fell into our hands, we grasped the initiative on the battlefield. Attacking Zhao State, we increase our chances of winning. ”

Wang Ling swore solemnly: "General rest assured, I will take Lao Maling." ”

"Okay." Wang Yi believed in Wang Ling's ability, "If we win, we will be able to break the morale of the Zhao army." The aftermath of our defeat of the Shangdang Zhao army has not yet dissipated. Taking Lao Maling, Zhao Jun's morale will definitely suffer a heavy blow. The news of our army's invincibility will quickly spread among the Zhao army. ”

"The last general, I will not let the general down."

Wang Yi looked at the generals and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is the time for us to make meritorious contributions to repay the king's kindness. In this battle, we must defeat the Zhao army and raise the prestige of our Great Qin. ”

The generals said in unison: "Wow." ”

Wang Ye led 2,000 strong men to cross the Qinshui River Valley, and saw that the terrain was difficult to walk, which was not conducive to a rapid march. Another 300 people were allocated for Captain Zhang to investigate. Captain Zhang walked a long way, but he felt the earth shake, and the sound of horses and talking came.

Captain Zhang motioned to the soldiers around him and ordered him to climb to the highest point and inspect the situation. The soldier was petite, but he was athletic, and he easily climbed to a high point, and then he saw Zhao Jun.

The soldier pulled out the flag planted behind his back and played the riding flag, signaling that Zhao Jun was found in front. Lieutenant Zhang ordered the people around him to wave flags and ask the number of enemies. From the other party's flag, Captain Zhang learned that the Zhao army had a thousand people coming.

One person said: "Captain Zhang, there are a thousand Zhao troops in front." We might as well retreat. ”

Captain Zhang fought against the Shangdang Zhao army, and seeing that his combat effectiveness was low, how could he put the Zhao army in his eyes, and said contemptuously: "I, a Great Qin soldier, how can I retreat." ”

The man said: "There are 1,000 people in the Zhao army, and we only have 300 people. ”

"Although there are many Zhao troops, they are just a rabble. There are only a thousand people, what is there to be afraid of. Captain Zhang said: "Here, the road is narrow, which is not conducive to the battle of the army. Although the number of Zhao troops is large, how can there be. Pass the order down and prepare for battle. ”

At this time, Zhao Guopei's general also learned that the Qin army had been found ahead, and also learned the number of Qin troops. Relying on the large number of people, the general led his army to kill him. But he never saw the Qin army fleeing, but rushed over with a long sword in hand.

Zhang Duwei first used a bow and crossbow to shoot the Zhao army, and then commanded the soldiers to fight the Zhao army at close range. In the melee, he was shot by the Qin army's bow and crossbow and fell off his horse, and was beheaded by the Qin army.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be killed, Zhao Jun rushed over and snatched the body of the general. Judging by General Zhao's clothes, Zhang Duwei guessed the identity of the other party and commanded the soldiers to rush and kill.

Wang Ye also got what happened to Zhang Duwei and Zhao Jun, and led the army to come to help.

Seeing that the Qin army was numerous and had no commander to command, the Zhao army suddenly became a mess, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties.

At the end of the battle, Wang Ye counted the battlefield and saw that the Zhao army had lost 900 people and 500 of his own people. Wang Ye learned from the captured Zhao army that the beheaded Zhao general was the general of the Zhao State, and he was immediately overjoyed, and asked people to quickly send an order to Wang Ling for reinforcements.

Zhang Duwei said: "General Wang, we encountered the Zhao army here, but Lao Maling was occupied by the Zhao army. ”

"That's good." Wang Ye asked about the captured Zhao Jun and learned that Lao Maling had not fallen into the hands of Zhao Guo, so he had a plan.

Wang Ye ordered the soldiers to wear Zhao Jun's clothes and take advantage of the night to go to Laomaling. Because the night was too dark, Zhao Jun mistakenly thought that it was the return of the general to survey the military situation, and he was defenseless. Wang Ye took the opportunity to rush and kill Zhao Jun. The Zhao army did not know the number of Qin troops, but they heard the loud noise of the valley and fled in all directions.

Wang Ye led a thousand soldiers to Gaoping.

Zhao Jianggong Uncle Duan was asleep, but he heard the sound of drums. Gongshu Duan picked up the long sword, rushed out, met Jin Yan, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Jin Yan said: "The Qin army is coming. ”

"What did you say?" Gongshu Duan never expected that the Qin army would attack, and asked, "How can the Qin army break through Gaoping." ”

"The Qin army accompanied our army, deceived the defenders of the pass, and killed us by surprise." Jin Yan saw the Qin army's shouting and killing, getting closer and closer, and said anxiously: "Uncle Gong, the Qin army is coming, let's run away!" It's late, it's too late. ”

Uncle Gong said: "If we lose Gaoping, how can we explain to General Lian."

Jin Yan said: "We can't control so much. ”

"We can't go!" Gongshu Duan asked: "Abandon the pass and run away, how will the Zhao people think of us." They will say that we Korean men have no blood and bravery. If we escape, we will also lose the face of the Han man. ”

Lost to the party, they are alive and have already endured a lot of infamy. Now, when the Qin State came to attack, they abandoned the pass and fled. Han's man's face will really be lost by them. Even if you live, you have no face.

Jin Yan pulled out his long sword and said, "Uncle Gong is right. Han's boy, how can he be underestimated. ”

Uncle Gong said: "I'll stay and cut off for you." You have to live well. ”

"Uncle Gong, I don't want to lose the face of the Han man." Jin Yan held the long sword and said with a smile: "How can I survive in secret." ”

"Okay." Gongshu Duan looked at the soldiers around him and said loudly: "We are fighting for the Han man." ”

Gongshu Duan and Jin Yan saw the Qin army coming, led the soldiers around them, and rushed over. Wang Ye commanded the soldiers and killed them. The two armies fought hand-to-hand and fought. The soldiers around Gongshu Duan and Jin Yan fell one after another, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers gathered around.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Wang Ye persuaded him to surrender: "Put down your arms and avoid death." ”

Gongshu Duan looked at Jin Yan, who was in a broken battle armor and covered in blood, and said, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Jin Yan laughed and said: "What is it like to be able to fight bravely with General Gongshu and defend the territory." ”

"Good, good, good. is worthy of my Han boy. Gongshu Duan remembered that there was no hope of returning to Han, losing the party, and Feng Ting was killed in battle, and said: "If we return to Zhao State, we can't surrender to Qin." ”

Wang Ye saw that Zhao Jun did not surrender, and threatened: "Those who do not surrender will die." ”

Gongshu Duan clenched his long sword and shouted, "Fellow soldiers, we will fight side by side, bravely kill the enemy, and defend the territory together. ”

"Kill." Gongshu Duan's long sword swung forward.

Jin Yan and the others also followed Gongshu Duan and rushed towards the Qin army. Wang Ye saw that these people did not surrender, but he had a little backbone, but he couldn't be merciful to them, so he pointed forward with his long sword and said solemnly: "Kill." ”

Wang Ling heard that Wang Ye encountered the Zhao army, killed the general of Zhao Guo, and took advantage of the night to catch the Zhao army off guard, and the peak arrived at Gaoping Pass. Wang Ling led the army to help in the war, won Gaoping Pass in one go, and made great achievements. When Wang Ling arrived in Gaoping, the war was over.

Wang Ling and Wang Ye joined forces, and when they saw the Zhao army, their combat strength was so weak that they despised the Zhao army even more. Wang Ling did not wait for Wang Ling's order, taking advantage of the fact that the Zhao army had not yet gained a stable foothold in Laomaling and the defense line had not yet been built, he made a decisive attack and seized the high ground.
