After giving the order, he took the two division commanders of the 5,000 elite army and the two commanders of the fleeing army to look at the terrain together, and he wanted to fight a beautiful ambush battle here, boost his morale, and give an explanation to the king of Wei.

Wei Hu stood on a hill on the south side of the post road, pointing to the post road and drawing a big cake to his subordinates with great interest: "You look at the terrain!" The two hills, which are several miles long and no more than 20 zhang high, are a good place for us to ambush the Qin army. You think: It has been five hours since the Qin army attacked the city from the time of the beginning to the current unitary time; Although they are a victorious army with high morale, people are people, and it is impossible for them not to be tired, hungry, and lacking at this time, where is the opponent of the Wei army that we have rested for a while. Moreover, when they can catch up here, it will be four quarters of a year at the earliest, and the number of people will not exceed fifteen thousand at most. You think! The sky was gray, the people were tired, and after coming to the gray hills on both sides, they suddenly heard the Wei army's imposing killing cries like a rainbow, and the sound of war drums that were killing people, what would they think? ”

A division commander of an elite army returned: "Run! ambushed. ”

The commander of a defeated army replied: "If I had not entered this hill at all. Instead, he set up a large camp on the flat ground in front of the hill, and waited until the morning was dawn to-morrow, and then came into the mountain. ”

Wei Hu slapped his face and praised: "Not bad! That's what I wanted. The generals of the Qin army are all good at the battlefield, and it is impossible not to guard against the ambush of our army, so they will not venture into the mountains. In this way, we were given a night to retreat. Wait until dawn tomorrow, and they will not dare to enter the mountain at the earliest hour. But at this time, we have entered Fenyin City. ”

Another elite military commander asked, "If the Qin army is personally commanded by the crown prince or the second son, it will be bad." These two sons are hairless people with no experience, and they have just captured the shore gate, and they are extremely arrogant. What if they went into the valley for the sake of their achievements? ”

Wei Hu laughed: "That's what I said first about fighting a beautiful ambush, washing away the shame of our loss of the shore gate!" Therefore, after we wait for the sergeants to rest, your two elite divisions, one on one side of the hill, and the other six or seven are divided equally, led by two marshals, and they will be ambushed on the hill for me. When the Qin army entered the valley, they killed him and turned his horse on his back. The Qin army did not enter the valley, as soon as we saw them set up a large camp, we immediately retreated and retreated to Fenyin. ”

As soon as Wei Jiang heard the master's watertight arrangement, he was relieved, and laughed happily with Wei Hu.

Who knew that the two sons of the Qin army, after the battle of the shore gate, had already let go of their competitive hearts, and when they were chasing Wei Hu, they were actually the two of them chasing together, and handed over the mess of the shore gate to their respective lieutenants. The lieutenant generals thought about it: the shore gate has been laid, the main force of the Wei army has been wiped out, only 10,000 remnants of the army, and the two sons will chase after them with nearly 20,000 people, even if they can't catch up, there will be no big deal, so they are very relieved and let the two sons lead the army independently.

Really. The two sons led their army to ten miles southeast of the shore gate, and saw a post road leading to Guò from the middle of the two mountains. It was getting late now, the sun had already set in the western mountains, and only the western sky was still red reflected by the afterglow. Zisi asked: It was already three o'clock in the unitary hour, so he ordered to stop the march!

As soon as Ziji, who was on the rise, heard that he had stopped marching, he asked his brother puzzled: "Prince! Why stop moving forward? ”

Zisi looked at the valley, pointed at the post road with a horsewhip and said, "Ziji, this valley is dangerous!" What if the Wei army set up an ambush in the valley? Do you think that our army has been fighting for more than five hours from the time of the first hour to the current three quarters of the unitary hour. You, I thought I was excited to go to war for the first time, and I didn't know hunger and fatigue, but when the sergeants arrived here, they were already sleepy and tired; So I can't move forward. What's more, it is late and the vision is not clear, so it is most likely to fall into an ambush. ”

Zijian thought for a while, and said with a slight smile: "Prince! You're overthinking. We can order a quarter of an hour's rest, and let the sergeants and horses eat and drink before advancing, and the Wei army's ambush is not to be worried. The Wei army has at most 10,000 people, we are two to fight one, are we still afraid of them? Only they are afraid of us. Besides, night battles are also the strength of our Qin army, and it is not enough for Wei Jun to be our apprentice. Prince! I'm most afraid that we will rest for the night, and when we enter the valley again tomorrow, the Wei army will already have a meal in Fenyin City. Prince! Although we have laid down the shore gate, it is always a pity that we did not catch the main general? ”

When Zisi heard Ziji's words, she was also moved. He was about to give the order to rest for a quarter of an hour before advancing, when he suddenly saw that the guards around him were already in a state of extreme fatigue, and even the sycophants were listless. This is the face of the teacher Shang Jun, appearing in front of him: "Prince! You are the prince. The most difficult thing for you to do, and what you must do, is stability. You can have no merit, no political achievements, no popularity, but you must not make mistakes. You have to know that the eyes of the whole country are on you! You just have great achievements and the best popularity, but in the eyes of people, that's what you should be, it's nothing. But as long as you make a mistake, even if it is a small mistake, as long as it spreads, people will think that you are not capable enough to be a king. It's hard to be a prince, it's hard here. After all, this is contrary to the competitive nature of people! ”

Shang Jun's words, Zisi didn't understand at that time, but when he thought about it at this time, he made him shudder! In order to clear his thoughts, Zisi ordered: "The whole army rests for an hour!" Eat and feed the horses! After giving the order, Zisi said to Ziji: "You let me think about it!" After saying that, he left Ziji, stood alone on the chariot, looked at the valley and pondered.

Wei Hu stood on a hill two miles away, and saw that the Qin army had stopped advancing, and the army was making preparations before entering the valley, so he judged that the leader must be one of the two princes, otherwise it should be camped rather than a short rest. Wei Hu was overjoyed, so he ordered the whole army to prepare and prepare for the attack on the Qin army.

A quarter of an hour later. Zisi called Zi Ji and said to Zi Ji: "Zi Ji! After thinking about it repeatedly, I thought: Poor people don't chase. What we are assessing is to attack the shore gate, and from the assessment point of view, we have already completed the assessment when we have knocked down the shore gate. Although we did not capture the main general and did not annihilate the 40,000 defenders, we completed the task after all, at least we did not disappoint the hopes of our father and teacher. But if we continue to enter the valley to pursue the Wei army after it is getting late, and are ambushed by the Wei army, even if we win, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. You know: battle damage is the most important criterion. So, I don't want to add to it. Ziji, order the army to camp! The lives of the sergeants are more important than our records. ”
