The news of the death of Wang Zike of Zhongshan reached Handan of Zhao State. Zhao Yong seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and raised 100,000 troops to attack Zhongshan. In the face of Zhao's strong offensive, Zhongshan continued to lose cities and land.

In less than ten days, the Zhao army was like a bamboo, and the soldiers were on the verge of Lingshou.

Zhao Yong stood on the high platform and looked at the centuries-old Lingshou City in front of him.

Zhongshan and Zhao fought for a hundred years. The ancestors of the Zhao Kingdom could not destroy Zhongshan. The grievances and hatreds between Zhongshan and Zhao can be explained in one sentence.

The horse stepped on Lingshou and washed Zhongshan with blood. This is the dream of many Zhao boys, and it is also the long-cherished wish of many Zhao ancestors. Now, Zhao Yong will fulfill the long-cherished wish of his ancestors.

After Zhao Yong implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, he vigorously rectified the military. The further integration of the Zhao people and the Hu people also gave the Zhao State a new look.

From 307 BC to 300 BC, the kingdoms of Zhao and Zhongshan were constantly at war. Zhao Guo fought Zhongshan Guo without the power to fight back. Zhongshan has a territory of 800 miles, 9,000 military vehicles, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and is known as the eighth hero of the Warring States.

However, under the attack of Zhao State. The territory of Zhongshan is less than 200 miles. But Lingshou City, there is a city in the mountains, there are mountains in the city, and there is a big river to rely on, the terrain is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhao attacked Lingshou and was stubbornly resisted by Zhongshan State. Zhao Yong saw that wave after wave of Zhao soldiers launched a fierce attack, but they were all repelled by the Zhongshan people. The war was unfavorable, and Zhao Yong was not discouraged, but instead surged up with pride, and laughed: "It is worthy of being a Zhongshan wolf." In the face of absolute disadvantage, we will never bow our heads. ”

Gongzi Zhang saw that the battle situation was unfavorable, and his expression was anxious, "Master father, Zhongshan people, high morale, we can't overcome it for a long time, what should we do." ”

Zhao Yong turned his gaze to Tian Buli and asked, "Do you have a good strategy?" ”

Tian Buli shook his head and said, "The people of Zhongshan are fierce, and I don't have a good strategy. Master, this battle will be difficult! ”

"Lonely, fighting for a lifetime, how can you ever be afraid of a tough battle." Zhao Yong's eyes rippled and said: "Zhongshan people did not disappoint Lonely. ”

Gongzi Zhang saw that the soldiers were repelled by Zhongshan people in waves, and his mood was not as calm as Zhao Yong's, so he hurriedly said: "Master, what should we do." ”

"When a country is in trouble, there will be loyal and brave people. No matter how trapped the Zhongshan people are, they can't change the fate of being destroyed by us. Zhao Yong looked at Lingshou City and shouted: "This time, we will use force to crush the fighting spirit of the Zhongshan people." The order went down and continued to attack Zhongshan. ”

Zhao Yong's order was passed down. When everyone heard this, their morale increased greatly, and they all rushed to Lingshou City.

The shouts of Zhao Ren came to Lingshou one after another. The minister of Zhongshan Palace was frightened by the shouts of killing outside. Although the Zhongshan people repelled the attacks of the Zhao people many times, they also paid a heavy price themselves.

Gongzi Shang personally supervised the battle, and naturally knew that this battle was more auspicious than lucky. Especially looking at the Zhongshan soldiers, wave after wave fell in a pool of blood. There are fewer and fewer soldiers around him.

Not long after, soon the first bad news came. That is, the wall of the north gate of Lingshou was broken by the Zhao people, and a gap was broken. The Zhao people poured in densely from the gap.

If the north gate is lost, the outer city of Lingshou will be in danger. Gongzi Shang hurriedly dispatched troops to intercept it.

At this time, the east gate was also broken by the Zhao army. Immediately after that, the west gate and the south gate were in an emergency. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Childe had to shrink his forces and stick to Miyagi to make a final resistance.

Although the outer city of Lingshou was attacked by the Zhao people. But the Zhongshan people did not surrender either, and used the lanes to continue the battle with the Zhao people. Although Zhao defeated the Zhongshan people by an overwhelming margin, he suffered a big loss in the street battle.

After paying a heavy price, the Zhao people finally occupied the outer city. The tens of thousands of troops of the Zhao State surrounded the Lingshou Palace City.

I saw that the soldiers of Zhao State vacated a wide avenue. Zhao Yong rode a horse, came to the front of the military formation, and shouted to Miyagi: "Lonely is the father of Zhao Kingdom. Who is in power in Zhongshan. ”

Gongzi Shang saw that Master Zhao was dignified, not angry and arrogant, pressed the long sword, and asked loudly: "Master Zhao, Zhongshan is not guilty, why did you attack me." ”

Zhao Yong looked at the person on the city tower and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Gongzi Shang was shocked by Zhao Yong's courage and stabilized his mind, "I am the great priest of Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

Zhao Yong asked, "Where is the King of Zhongshan?" ”

Gongzi Shang replied with a blank expression: "My king is preparing to fight with Master Zhao's father. ”

"Fight it out?" Zhao Yong sneered: "If the King of Zhongshan is an iron-clad man, he will come out to duel with Gu. ”

Gongzi Shang mistakenly thought that Master Zhao's father didn't know the news of King Zhongshan's escape, and he was overjoyed, and said: "Master Zhao can fight well and break the territory. Is my king your adversary? ”

"Since you are not Lone's opponent, don't surrender quickly." Zhao Yong said in an arrogant tone, "Zhongshan Xiao'er surrenders to Lonely, Lonely protects your Sheji, and extends your temple." ”

When Gongzi Shang heard this, he said with a slightly angry expression: "Master Zhao's father is inevitably too deceitful. ”

"If you are weak, you can only be bullied." Zhao Yong said coldly: "If you are not convinced, just come to fight." ”

"Although Zhongshan is small, it is not afraid of life and death." Gongzi Shang shouted: "Lord Zhao's father is willing to fight, and I will accompany him to the end." ”

"Your opinion can replace the King of Zhongshan."

"What I say is on behalf of my king."

"Hahaha." Zhao Yong let out a long laugh, "The King of Zhongshan is as timid as a mouse, how could he have the courage to compete with the widow." ”

Gongzi Shang said angrily: "Master Zhao, don't deceive people too much. ”

Zhao Yong said disdainfully: "Lonely, I deceived you too much, what can you do to me." ”

"You." Childe Shang swallowed back the words to his mouth. Because he understood that Master Zhao was deliberately provoking him, and his purpose was to force him out of the city to go to war. The son is still young-hearted, and he almost fell for Master Zhao's father.

Zhao Yong saw that the other party's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back, and his tone was full of provocation: "If you are a man, why don't you open the city and compete with me." ”

Childe Shang restrained the emotions in his heart and tightened his teeth.

Zhao Yong continued to stimulate: "Zhongshan has been established for hundreds of years, and the princes have been conquered without defeat. The ancestors of Zhongshan in the past dynasties are also famous. But now there are no men? ”

Sure enough, Zhao Yong's words just came out. Many soldiers on Miyagi took the initiative to ask for battle. They want to use the blood of the Zhao people to prove their male bodies. Even if they died on the battlefield and the earth was stained with blood, they did not live up to the body of a man, nor were they insulted by the Zhao people.

As the saying goes, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated.

Gongzishang naturally understood Zhao Yong's intentions. If he can't bear the humiliation, in order to be brave for a while, Kaicheng will fight a decisive battle with the Zhao people. Although he lived up to the body of a man, the temple died at his hands. He is the sinner of the ages.

Gongzi Shang suppressed the generals who asked for battle, and sneered: "I have heard that there is no city that Lord Zhao's father cannot break. I want to learn about Lord Zhao's ability to attack the city. ”

Zhao Yong saw that the other party was not fooled, and laughed: "The outer city of Lingshou is impregnable, and it has not been broken by lonely. ”

When Gongzi heard this, he was powerless to refute it, so he simply didn't speak.

Zhao Yong shouted: "You want to learn the ability to attack the city alone." Lonely, when the city is broken, it is the day of destruction. ”

When Gongzi Shang heard these words, an unprecedented fear surged in his heart. The temple was destroyed, and the incense of his descendants was cut off, and he was really a sinner through the ages. However, Gongzi was still unwilling to show weakness, and shouted: "Master Zhao, why do you need to say more. If you want to attack the city, slaughter my children and grandchildren, and destroy my temples and shrines, even if you come. As a Zhongshan man, he will definitely shed his last drop of blood for the country. ”

"Backbone, lonely, like." Zhao Yong didn't expect that there would be such a person in Zhongshan who was not afraid of death, "If you surrender to Lone, Lone will be reused." ”

"Life is a Zhongshan person, death is a Zhongshan ghost." Gongzi Shang raised his voice and said, "I'd rather be a ghost than give in to you Zhao Ren." ”

"Lone's opponent is the King of Zhongshan, not you." Zhao Yong said contemptuously: "You are not worthy of being my opponent." ”

"Master Zhao wants to see my king, so he passed my pass first." Gongzi Shang said: "I will use my own blood to defend the honor of the Zhongshan boy." ”

"The king of Zhongshan abandoned his people and fled to another country." Zhao Yong asked coldly, "You still have to fight for him." ”

Gongzi Shang saw that the army's heart was fluctuating, and said sharply: "Hugh wants to listen to Zhao Ren's nonsense." Will the king, who is in the palace, leave us behind? ”

"Is it lonely gibberish?" Zhao Yong saw that Gongzi was still in chaos, and took advantage of the victory to pursue: "If the King of Zhongshan is here, why don't you invite him out." ”

"My king is not in good health, how can we see each other."

"Lone, I'll tell you the truth. Your king, flee away from the kingdom of Qi. Now, he has died in the country of Qi. ”

The Zhongshan soldiers, hearing the news, were in chaos. They were forsaken by their own king. Their king died in the kingdom of Qi, and could not return. In an instant, Nakayama's morale was low. These soldiers did not know what they were fighting for.

Gongzi Shang saw that Zhao Yong separated Zhongshan's military heart with a few words. If Zhongshan Wang Zi really died in the Qi Kingdom, then the Zhongshan Kingdom would be leaderless, and it would be easy to be attacked by the Zhao people.

In order to gather morale, Gongzi Shang shouted: "This is the Zhao people's strategy to divide us, let's not be fooled." ”

Zhao Yong saw that the Zhongshan people were in a mess, and the result he wanted had been achieved, and shouted: "The king of Zhongshan is dead, why not descend quickly." ”

The soldiers of the Zhao army said in unison: "King Zhongshan is dead, why not descend quickly." ”

When the people of Zhongshan heard the voice of Zhao Ren, they all stood miserably. The king, for whom they had fought for the king, died.

Zhao Yong said again: "If you don't wait, the day you break the city is the time when your descendants are cut off." ”

The soldiers of the Zhao army said in unison: "If you don't wait, the day the city is broken, it will be the time when your descendants will be cut off." ”

The Zhongshan people heard the angry shouts of the Zhao people, and their fighting spirit was instantly shattered. Seeing this, Gongzi Shang said in his heart: "Zhongshan, it's over." ”

Zhao Yong said again: "Tomorrow afternoon, if you don't surrender." Break the city. ”

After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he returned to the military formation.

Gongzizhang asked, "Master, will the Zhongshan people descend?" ”

Zhao Yong showed a sinister smile, "The morale of the Zhongshan people has almost collapsed. If it does not come tomorrow, we will attack the city. ”

"Huh", the generals of Zhao said in unison.

Gongzi Shang saw that the army was in turmoil and could not stop the attack of the Zhao people. At present, the general trend has gone, and the civil and military forces are urgently called for discussion.

One said: "The outer city is broken. The people outside the city, helping the old and the young, fled for their lives. Many family members fell into the hands of the Zhao people, and the army's heart fluctuated. ”

Another person said: "The Zhao people are powerful, and we are outnumbered, and it is difficult to meet the enemy." It is better to surrender to Baozong Temple. ”

"We might as well abandon the city and flee and ask for help from the Qi Kingdom."

"The king went to the kingdom of Qi to ask for help, and what was the result. Away from home. If Qi wants to save us, he will save us a long time ago. If we go to the country of Qi, we will only bring humiliation on ourselves. ”

"Zhao people are willing to fight, and we will accompany them. How could he descend the Zhao people and humiliate the ancestors. Even if he dies in battle, he will not disgrace the body of a man. ”

"The monarch should die with the same society, how can he be lowered."

"Zhao Ren was angry and attacked Miyagi. Do you want the temple to be destroyed and your descendants to be slaughtered? Lingshou City is a river of blood and has become a hell on earth? ”

The crowd was divided and deadlocked. Everyone's eyes looked at Childe Shang and asked him to take an idea.

Gongzi Shang took a breath of cold air and said, "The general trend has gone, surrender!" ”

The next day, just after noon.

Gongzi Shang led the ministers of civil and military affairs out of the city and surrendered.

Zhao Yong was overjoyed when he saw it.

Gongzi Shang saw Zhao Yong, lowered his arrogant head and said: "I have heard that Master Zhao is a benevolent and virtuous king, and I also ask Master Zhao not to hurt one of my people." ”

Zhao Yongyun said: "Lonely, I promise you." ”

Zhao Yong picked up Gongzishang and entered the palace together. Zhao Yong entered the palace city, kept his promise, did not hurt a person, and did not plunder a person's property.

Zhao Yong came to the palace, sat in the position of the king of Zhongshan, and accepted the worship from the Zhongshan people.

Zhao Yong asked, "I heard that the country of Zhongshan has three treasures. ”

Gongzi Shang replied: "The Three Treasures have entered the royal tomb. ”

"Lonely, I want to see the three treasures of Zhongshan." When Zhao Yong heard this, he felt a little lost in his heart, "Since the three treasures are buried in the royal tomb, let it settle down!" ”

Not long after, several Zhongshan ministers came to Zhao Yong and saluted: "Master, this records the mountains and rivers, cities, population and money of Zhongshan Kingdom. Ask the Master to look at it. ”

Seeing his father's signal, Prince Zhang took the things in the hands of the Minister of Zhongshan and presented them to Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong picked up the bamboo slip, looked at it, and put it aside. got up and came to Gongzishang, stared at him with both eyes, and asked, "You are lonely, and you can accept it in your heart." ”

Childe had already lost his fighting spirit, and replied in a casual tone: "Master, is this important? ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Lonely, I want to hear your voice from the heart." ”

Gongzi Shang surrendered to Zhao Yong, who had already lost his son, but for the sake of Zongmiao Sheji and the people of the city, he could not resist. Now Zhao Yong's words despise him too much. Gongzishang faintly felt unhappiness in his heart, and spit out two words, "Unconvinced." ”

Zhao Yong saw the person in front of him, as well as the man's temperament, and laughed: "If you don't accept it, the widow will give you a chance." From this day forward, you are the king of the Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

Gongzi still hesitated for a moment, not knowing what Zhao Yong's intentions were, and asked, "What does the master father mean." ”

Zhao Yong replied solemnly: "Lonely, give you a chance." ”

Gongzi Shang said coldly: "The master father is not afraid that I will be the king of Zhongshan, which is not good for the Zhao State. ”

Zhao Yong didn't take him to heart at all, and said in an easy-going tone: "If that's the case." Lonely, it's too late to be happy. ”

"I don't understand the meaning of the Lord Father."

"You can be Lone's opponent, Lonely, and you won't be lonely for the rest of your life."

"I will revitalize Zhongshan and make enemies of Zhao."

"Lonely, waiting for that day to come." Zhao Yong's eyes were full of unprecedented confidence, "From this moment on, you are the king of Zhongshan." Lonely, I'll give you another chance. I hope you can be a lone opponent. ”
