The Hu people of Zhongshan defeated the chariots and iron cavalry of the Zhao State successively. In order to avoid the edge for the time being, Zhao Guo took the initiative to retreat three miles. This battle is also the hand-held victory won by Zhongshan Wang Zi against Zhao since he succeeded to the throne. The king of Zhongshan was happy and held a palace banquet to celebrate. Zhongshan Wang Zi once had the scenery in front of him, so he forgot about the siege of Zhao State, and was drunk and unconscious. At this time, Yin Jian Gong broke into the bedroom of Zhongshan Wang Zi and shouted: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. ”

"If there's anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhongshan Wang Zi was disturbed by someone and replied. Rolled over and fell asleep.

Zhao State broke through Lingshou, and Zhongshan State was in danger. Yin Jian Gong couldn't care so much, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Zhao army attacked the city. ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi whispered: "There are Wuqiu and Hercules. How could Zhao Guo break through Lingshou. These days, the Zhao State has attacked me, and the widow has not closed his eyes and slept peacefully for a long time. You! Or do you want to sleep more often. ”

Yin Jian Gong shouted: "Your Majesty, the Zhao State has broken through Lingshou. ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi suddenly opened his eyes, sat on the bed, and shouted, "What did you say." ”

Seeing that the king was in trouble, Yin Jian Gong still didn't believe that Zhao Guo had broken through Lingshou, so he couldn't bear to say again, "Zhao Guo has broken through the outer city of Lingshou." ”

When Zhongshan Wang Zi heard this, his eyes erupted with anger, and he roared: "You are talking nonsense. Wuqiu and Hercules had just defeated the Zhao army, and the Zhao army did not dare to compete with us, so they took the initiative to retreat three miles. Last night, the widow also personally slept in the palace for the meritorious soldiers. At this moment, you tell the widow that Zhao Guo has broken through the outer city of Lingshou. Yin Jian Gong, you are scaring the widow! ”

Yin Jian Gong was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Today, our army is at war with Zhao State. I died fighting for the country. ”

"What. The duck is dead. Zhongshan Wangzi's eyes were blank, "The widow's strong man is gone." ”

"Zhao took turns to attack our army. Our army cannot win the war, and it cannot retreat. Wuqiu and Hercules fought against the Zhao army and died of exhaustion. Yin Jian Gong wept and said: "The king humiliated Sima Ziqi in the middle of the banquet. Sima Ziqi was humiliated, took Sima's generals, opened the north gate, and dedicated the strategic map of the deployment of troops in Lingshou City to Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun calmed down the night, and captured the outer city in one go. At this moment, Zhao Junbing Feng had arrived in Miyagi. ”

"Sima Ziqi dared to betray the widow." Zhongshan Wang Zi roared: "Sima Xi, where is it." ”

"After the banquet, Sima Xiang was drunk and lay at home, not saving trouble, and closed the door to no guests."

"The widow felt that he did not treat the Sima family father and son badly, why did they betray the widow." King Zhongshan's eyes showed murderous intent, "The widow wants to destroy the Sima family." ”

"Your Majesty, the enemy is at present. It is not to hold Sima Xi and Sima Ziqi and his son accountable. Sima's family is in the palace, and there are many henchmen. If the king wants to kill Sima's father and son, it will cause a palace change. Please, think twice. ”

"How are the Miyagi guards?"

"The Great Sikou personally supervised the battle at the palace gate to resist the Zhao State. Miyagi is still in our hands. ”

Wang Zi of Zhongshan heard that the Zhao army had broken through the outer city of Lingshou, and Wuqiu and Hercules died in battle for the country. Now, Zhao Guobing Feng has arrived in Miyagi. If the situation develops, sooner or later Zhao Guo will break through the palace gate and enter Zhongshan Palace. Thinking of this, Zhongshan Wang Zi shuddered, and shouted in a panic: "The widow wants to see the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs." ”

The atmosphere in Zhongshan Palace was solemn, and everyone was also restless, for fear that Zhao Guo would attack it.

Zhongshan Wang Zi listened to the shouts and killings outside, and was terrified, "Zhao Jun is here, what should we do." ”

As soon as Zhongshan Wangzi's words fell, a general with a broken battle armor and a blood-colored face rushed in, "Your Majesty, the palace gate can't be guarded." ”

When Zhongshan Wang Zi heard this, his whole body was paralyzed, and he had no fighting spirit. When the ministers heard this, they were also in a mess and made a lot of noise.

"The palace gate can't be guarded, what should I do."

"We can't win against the Zhao army, let's surrender!"

"Quiet." Zhongshan Wang Zi shouted: "Everyone, I heard it! The palace gate couldn't stand it. Zhao Jun is also coming here. Both the widow and you will become captives of Zhao. Tell me what we should do. It's a battle, or a surrender. ”

Yin Jian Gong took a breath of cold air and took the lead in saying: "Zhao is a powerful country, and we have few soldiers, so it is difficult to meet the enemy. The king is the king of a country, and he must not surrender to the Zhao people. Your Majesty, why don't we abandon Lingshou City and escape! ”

"Run." Zhongshan Wang Zi sneered: "The people help the old and the young, and run for their lives. The situation outside the palace was chaotic. Now that Zhao is besieging the city with heavy troops, where can we flee. ”

Tian Jian replied: "We are besieged by the Zhao State in the west, north, and south, and we are not connected to the princes. If we flee in these three directions, we will bring about our own destruction. Today, only the eastern territory is still in our hands. We had to flee east. ”

Yin Jian Gong also said: "Fuliu is an important military town in our east. Nothing was captured by the Zhao State. The terrain of Fuliu is dangerous, the city is solid, and there is a big river to rely on. This city is less than twenty miles away from the Qi country. We fled to Fuliu, while holding on to the city, calling on the whole country to meet the Zhao army. The other side asked Qi for help. ”

"We are attacking the Yan Kingdom together with the Qi State. We ignored the covenant and withdrew our troops back to China without permission. The northern side of the Qi state was defeated by the Yan and Zhao alliances. The edge of Pushui was defeated by the princes of Qin, Han and Wei. Qi hated our country to the bone and gritted its teeth. Zhongshan Wang Zi said compassionately: "How can the Qi State send troops to save me." ”

"The State of Zhao alone annexed hundreds of miles of territory in our country. How could Qi State ignore it and let Zhao State become stronger. Tian Jian said again: "Your Majesty, we dedicate our territory to the king of Qi, claim the state of Qi as vassals, and drag the country of Qi into the war." We took advantage of the situation to sow discord between Qi and Zhao. We can use the power of Qi to restore the country. ”

The King of Zhongshan's eyes were dull and asked, "The Qi Kingdom will help the widow restore the country?" ”

Yin Jian Gong replied confidently: "We dedicate our territory to the Qi State. Zhao was no match for Qi. Zhao will not dare to annex the territory of our country. The state of Qi has gained the territory of our country, and it cannot be effectively managed. The king of Qi will tear the earth to seal the king. In this way, the king can guard the temple and continue the national ancestry; Go down to the safe realm and protect the people. At this moment, we can only survive by relying on the Qi Kingdom. Once, the Central Plains changed. There is hope for our recovery. ”

Tian Jian echoed: "The Wei State killed me with joy, but I don't know that decades later. The ancestor Henggong, taking advantage of the dispute between the princes, relying on the power of Qi people, to restore the family and the country? ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi choked back tears and said, "Let the widow think about it." ”

"The king is the king of a country, and he can neither surrender to Zhao nor surrender to Qi. Qi and Zhao's raccoon dogs all want to kill me in Zhongshan. How can we be with it. Gongzi Shang strode into Zhongshan Palace angrily, his eyes met the king of Zhongshan, and he deliberately raised his voice, "The king is the king of a country, and he should fight for the country and the people." Even if he is defeated and dies, he will live up to the name of his ancestors and the body of a man. ”

"If the king fights, he has achieved the name of a man. and did not live up to the honor of the ancestors. But the king died in battle for the country, and the Zhongshan kingdom died. If the king becomes a man who has lost his country, he will be left with a stench for ten thousand years. The Jongmyo Society was destroyed at the hands of the king. The descendants of the fathers were also extinct because of the king. Tian Jian sneered: "This move, how can the king be passed down through the ages." ”

"The king is the act of a country, so he should fight for the country. Wang Shangning died without humiliation, and died because of the Jiangshan Sheji. The top is worthy of the ancestors, and the bottom is worthy of the people. Gongzi Shang shouted angrily: "Even if it is stinking for 10,000 years, it will not live up to the man's body." ”

Yin Jian Gong defended: "King Goujian of Yue is not because of the survival of the country, and he will fight a decisive battle with Wu with blood. Twenty years later, King Goujian of Yue restored the country's shame, dominated the princes, and established meritorious deeds. Don't lose the body of a man. It is better for the king to endure today's shame for the time being, follow the example of King Goujian, and taste the courage of lying on his salary. ”

Tian Jian also said: "The king relied on the spirit of blood and courage to fight against the Zhao army. The king's actions will anger Zhao Jun. On the day the city is broken, the Zhao army will massacre the people and destroy our temple. Inside and outside Lingshou City, corpses will be scattered all over the field, and blood will flow like a river. In order to be brave for a while, the king caused the heirs to be cut off, and the temple could not be continued. The king is a sinner through the ages. This move, on the ground, is sorry for the ancestors' kindness in opening up the territory, and on the bottom, it cannot continue the temple community. ”

Childe Shang spewed flames in his eyes, "The king is the lord of a country, how can he abandon the people." Flee to another country and be humiliated. The king should live and die with the state. The city is in the people, and the city is destroyed and the people are dead. This is the work of the great husband. ”

"It's a reckless move." Yin Jian Gong angrily reprimanded: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but seeks profit and avoids disaster." As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. The king was humiliated today, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback and restore the country to shame. This is the real big man. Because of the courage of blood and blood for a while, the family and country were destroyed, the heirs were cut off, and the temple was difficult to continue. Is it the work of a great man? ”

Tian Jian also said: "If you can bend and stretch, you will be a husband." If the ancestor Henggong could not bear the shame of losing the country, he would fight with the Wei people to the end. How can our country destroy the country several times and restore the country several times? How can there be today's Zhongshan? ”

Seeing that the two parties were arguing, Zhongshan Wang Zi had a headache and said sharply: "Don't quarrel." The few have made up their minds, so they need to say more. ”

Gongzi Shang raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice." ”

"Thou art the brother of a widow, and the son of a former king. You also have the blood of your ancestors in you. The widow fled to the country of Qi and asked for help from the country of Qi. Zhongshan Wang Zi said: "The widow is not in the country during this time. No matter how big or small, it's up to you to decide. You can act on behalf of the widow. ”

Gongzi Shang said: "Your Majesty..."

Zhongshan Wang Zi cut off: "The widow's country will entrust you." ”

Gongzi Shang said sharply: "The minister personally led the troops to fight a bloody road for the king. ”

Gongzi Shang led the only remaining armor-clad men to take advantage of the night to engage the Zhao army. In the midst of a scuffle, Wang Zi of Zhongshan fled eastward with more than a dozen ministers such as Yin Hou, Jiang Ji, Yin Jian Gong, and Tian Jian, as well as 5,000 soldiers.

Zhao Yong saw that the combat power of Zhongshan Kingdom had increased greatly, like the last struggle of a fierce beast. Zhao Yong dispatched heavy troops and personally supervised the battle.

Shi Lou, Sun Qian, and Ji Qian were in the middle of a fierce battle, and suddenly a soldier came to report, "General Shi, you have a large amount of military strength, and you are fleeing eastward." ”

Shi Lou decisively ordered to pursue the fleeing Zhongshan army.

The king of Zhongshan fled by the road, and when he walked out of ten miles, he heard the sound of the pursuers.

Sun Qian shouted: "Zhongshan Xiao'er, your father listened to slander and killed loyal ministers and good generals, today, I will avenge my father and brother." ”

Yin Jian Gong shouted: "The king will go first." The last general. ”

Yin Jiangong led a thousand soldiers and turned back to engage the Zhao army.

Zhongshan Wang Zi continued to flee for his life, and gradually lost the voice of the pursuers behind him, and laughed: "The widow has finally escaped death." ”

Suddenly, the flames shone brightly.

One of them shouted angrily: "Zhongshan Xiao'er, do you remember me? ”

Wang Zi of Zhongshan looked at it with the help of the faint firelight, and shouted angrily: "Ji Xuan, the widow has never treated you badly, why do you want to kill the widow." ”

Ji Qian said with a smile: "My father led the southern Xinjiang to fight against the Zhao State, and he was dedicated to the country. And you, listening to slander, have killed my father. Today, I want to avenge my father. ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi scolded: "Your father is deeply favored by the country, but he doesn't know how to repay the widow. Relying on military exploits, coercing the outnumbered, and killing loyal ministers. What is wrong with a widow killing him? ”

"If my father wants to turn against you. How can you kill him? Ji Qian scolded angrily: "Zhongshan Xiaoer, you ended up like this, you are to blame." Zhongshan children, Hugh wants to go. Without further ado, return my father's life. ”

Tian Jian shouted, "The king is going to go." ”

Ji Qian rushed over and took the life of Zhongshan Wangzi. Seeing this, Tian Jian led his soldiers to meet the battle.

Zhongshan Wang Zi was so frightened that he shouted, "Hurry up." ”

The king of Zhongshan fled in embarrassment, with less than five ministers and less than five hundred soldiers around him. At this time, Zhongshan Wang Zi came to the bank of the Hutuo River, saw that there was no way out, and cried: "My life is resting." ”

Suddenly, the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.

Shi Lou shouted: "Your Majesty, surrender!" ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi cried and said: "Old General Shi, the widow has never treated you badly. You can't let the widow live. ”

Shi Hu shouted: "Old General Shi, you can't let him go." If Zhao Jun learns about this, how can we explain it. ”

Shi Leopard also said: "Come on, kill Zhongshan Xiao'er for me." ”

"Stop. I'll take care of everything by myself. Shi Lou shouted: "The Shi family is deeply favored by the former king. Neither did he fail us. Go, Your Majesty! ”

Shi Lou also had a high prestige among these people, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was silent.

Wang Zi of Zhongshan saw that Shilou was a person who valued love and righteousness, and would not kill him, nor would he capture him alive and go back to ask for merit. Zhongshan Wang Zi was afraid that he would regret it and fled.

As the sky grew brighter, Zhongshan Wang Zi finally got rid of the Zhao army's pursuers. When Zhongshan Wang Zi fled, he had 5,000 troops. At this moment, the military strength around him is less than 100 people. Overnight, he went from being a king on high to becoming an outlaw. Zhongshan Wang Zi cried: "There is a season in the south, and there is music in the north." If it weren't for the widows destroying the Great Wall, how could it have ended up like this. ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi sighed, tears like rain. Suddenly, he saw two soldiers in the army covered with scars, and asked, "Have you ever regretted being a widow?" ”

The father of the last general was imprisoned by the first king for opposing Sima Xiang's Confucian policy. If it weren't for the king's pot of cooked food, it would have saved my father. My father starved to death. The king succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the world. My father was released and was able to clear his name. There were tears in the corners of the man's eyes, "Before his death, my father said that if the king is in trouble, he wants us to repay him with death." We escorted the king to escape precisely to fulfill my father's promise. ”

Wang Zi of Zhongshan, looking up to the sky, sighed: "The widow died because of a cup of soup, and he was a loyal man because of a pot of cooked food." It is not how much it is given, and there is no depth of resentment. When the widow understands this sentence, it is too late to regret it. ”
