Next to the Lishan Mausoleum of the First Emperor, there is a luxurious Shaofu Office, which is where Zhang Han works. Zhang Han was the general of the Qin State and belonged to the low-level general, who was responsible for the construction of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang all the year round. At this time, he suddenly received an order from the imperial court, asking him to lead his disciples to kill the thief. Immediately after receiving the edict, Zhang Han walked out of the office, and the sergeant read out the edict of pardon, and then rode back and forth in person, explaining the current situation to everyone. When the disciples heard that the emperor of Qin had granted amnesty, they were all overjoyed, and for a while, the entire Lishan Mountain was boiling. It turned out that these people, who were called prisoners or disciples by the Qin people, were all craftsmen who served in Lishan, and among them were slaves, merchants, criminals, soldiers, guards, officials, etc., but most of them were the children of poor families in the Six Kingdoms. Because Qin's laws were very strict, the majority of ordinary people would break the law if they were not careful, and then they would be forcibly requisitioned and sent to designated places by the government as criminals to serve labor, so the rulers of Qin called them collectively as prisoners or prisoners. A prisoner is a criminal, a criminal, and a prisoner means a prisoner.

Due to the isolation from the outside world, these craftsmen are very simple-minded, they don't know who the people who are called thieves by the Qin State are, and they don't know what these thieves are different from themselves, they only know that now they can be rewarded for their meritorious service, and they can be knighted, and they can go home, so everyone is so excited that they are dancing, and they rush to join the team of killing thieves. Zhang Han summoned a team of more than 100,000 people in just half a day, and all of them were excited and passionate, and when Zhang Han gave an order, they would go out to kill all the thieves who were called 'heinous thieves', or cut off all their heads and then quickly. These people also seem to be brave and tireless because of their long years of physical labor and strong physique.

The imperial court also sent tens of thousands of weapons to them, and Zhang Han also sent those weapons that were not buried in the Qinling underground palace to the craftsmen. But that's not enough, it's built right away, and everyone has to have a weapon. The blacksmiths in Lishan are very good, and they have been burning terracotta warriors and horses here for many years, and forging all kinds of equipment, so they are very skilled. When Wang Ben's order to Zhang Han to attack the rebel army reached the Lishan office, it was boiling here, and when everything was ready. At this time, Wang Ben's letter had also been delivered to Zhang Han's order office. Zhang Han learned from the letter that Wang Ben had risked his life to surrender in order to paralyze the rebel army. Zhang Han saw that the famous old generals of the Qin State were all in danger and regarded death as home, so he was so moved that he threw himself to the ground. So the team was divided into two parts. He and his third brother Zhang Feng led a part, and after they divided and surrounded the rebel army, they went west and the lieutenant army together to exterminate the most elite vanguard of the rebel army. His second brother Zhang Ping and fourth brother Zhang Qu led the other part, and after the division and encirclement, they pursued and killed them to the east. Zhang Han and Yang Xiong agreed: tonight, the Qin army will launch rockets first, set all the camps of the righteous army on fire, and then launch a general attack. Zhang Han then led the team of prisoners from Lishan to the north from the east bank of the water.

That night, in the camp of the rebel army, Zhou Wen and other generals and Wang Ben drank to their heart's content, carnivaling wantonly, and people were immersed in the joy of success and happiness. Just as everyone was having a wine party, Zhou Wen suddenly received several gifts and letters from Qin Jun, one of which read:

Zhou Wen, the general of Chu: Since you entered the customs, its offensive has been like a wind, and the destruction of the Qin State is just around the corner. We are all generals of the Qin State, and we have heard that the imperial court is preparing to surrender, and if you want to attack, we can do your internal response. But when your army enters Xianyang, don't forget about us. Zhang Ji, Li Yue, Wang Fu, Wang Lun, Li Ping, Zhang Ling, and Gao Jie bowed their heads.

Zhou Wen looked at it and sighed: "I heard that 'the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached.'" Now that General Qin sees that the general trend has gone, they all want to find their own way out, which is also human nature. So he gave the epistle to Wang Ben to read. Wang Ben looked at it and was noncommittal. But he knew very well in his heart that this was a deliberate letter from there, and it was to confuse the Chu people. And Zhou Wen had already believed what the letter said, so he ordered all battalions to rest well and accept the surrender of the Qin army tomorrow. Han Qi was worried, and secretly reminded Zhou Wen many times: "If you don't march tonight, in case the Qin State cheats, it will be too late to regret it!" Zhou Wen pondered: "What General Qin said in his letter is true, besides, Wang Ben is here, how can he be deceitful?" Judging from all aspects, Xianyang is really an empty city, so why worry? Han Qi wanted to persuade again, but he saw that everyone was already drunk, so he had to withdraw.

In the camp of the Qin army, Yang Xiong and Sima Yi, as well as Peng Xian, the general of Liyi, and others planned until late at night, they sharpened their knives and wanted to fight. But they really can't bear to attack tonight. It turned out that Wang Ben gave them a death order when he left the barracks: as long as he succeeded in surrendering, the entire Qin army should launch a general attack at night, and he must not change his attention because he was in the Chu camp, otherwise he would be punished by military law. The generals of the Qin State saw that their commander was so loyal and brave in the face of national calamity, and they were very impressed in their hearts, so they walked out of the barracks, faced the east, and burned incense and prayed. They prayed for Wang Ben's blessing, and finally wept bitterly and begged God to bless him with peace and security. After the prayer was finished, all the offensive equipment such as arrows, crossbows, halberds, and bridges were prepared.

In the camp of the rebel army, in addition to the revelry, some people who were not strong enough to drink had already fallen asleep, and they all felt that victory was in sight, and the joy in their hearts and the fatigue of the past few days prompted them to be sleepy, and as soon as they turned their heads, they snored like thunder, and everyone relaxed their vigilance. Despite this, Han Qi still reminded Zhou Wendao: "Wang Ben is a famous general of the Qin State, and his wisdom is not under Wang Qian, Yang Xiong and Sima Yi have the courage of ten thousand people, and I am afraid that they will not surrender easily." Zhou Wendao: "Playing in the water is the last line of defense of the Qin State, if there is a change in the Qin army tomorrow, we will immediately launch an attack." Please don't worry, General! Han Qi had no choice but to give up.

After dark that night, Zhang Han led the craftsmen to a place not far from the camp of the righteous army, and sent an order to the army: "After everyone hears the order, they can only move forward, and they are not allowed to retreat." Those who advance will be added to the rank and knight, and those who retreat will be killed! "As the saying goes, 'there must be brave men under heavy rewards', not to mention that the hundreds of thousands of craftsmen led by Zhang Han are all people who are engaged in manual labor all year round, and most of them are young and strong young laborers. For the sake of freedom, for the sake of high-ranking officials, and in order to be able to go home as soon as possible, they had to show their skills, so they all secretly decided that they must be in the limelight, and they are ready to vent the pain of leaving home and homesickness over the years tonight, so they can all be ten with one and ten as hundred. Zhang Han saw that everyone was full of confidence, so he led them to the camp of the rebels, and then scattered the men and horses. Zhang Feng was on the left and Zhang Qu was on the right, gradually forming a semi-encirclement of the rebel army from the south side. And the place where Zhang Han and Zhang Ping stayed happened to be a large embankment-shaped protruding area, and if they charged the camp of the righteous army from here, it would have the tendency of building from a high position, and it would be easy to divide the camp into two parts. The side on the left was estimated at 100,000 men, which was the main force of the rebels. This side was encircled by 50,000 lieutenants and 50,000 Lishan craftsmen, and the number of people on both sides was exactly the same. The remaining 200,000 rebels were in the right battalion, although this part of the number was large, but the combat effectiveness was poor, so Zhang Ping and Zhang Qu led 50,000 people to attack from west to east, if the rebels failed, they would flee to the east.

The night was as silent as death, and the Qin army was like a devil released from the underworld, they were acting quietly. In the dead of night, they have pushed all kinds of bridges to the edge of the water, some people are already secretly building temporary bridges, they let all the crossbowmen come to the shore of the water to prepare, the Qin army has squatting shooting, standing shooting, foot crossbow shooting, machine crossbow shooting, car crossbow shooting, everything is ready, just wait for the ugly time to launch an attack. Time passed minute by minute, and military strategists said that 'time is life'. Yang Xiong and Sima Yi discussed secretly in the camp until midnight, and then closely watched the leaky pot of the hour.

The leaky pot is also called the quiver, which is specially made out of a kind of pottery pot with small holes, first inject water into it, the water will flow out of the pot hole, and then use a container to collect the leaked water, in this container there is an engraved arrow shaft, with a bamboo piece or wooden block to support the arrow shaft to float on the water surface, a small hole is opened in the center of the container lid, and the arrow shaft is pierced from the cover hole, so it is called a quiver. As the water collected in the quiver gradually increased, the wooden blocks supporting the arrow shaft slowly floated upward, and the ancients could know the specific moment by looking at the marks on the arrow shaft from the cover hole. There are two types of timekeeping methods: drain type and water receiving type. The omission is an independent timekeeping system that relies only on the movement of water. Therefore, when it is found that when there is more water in the leaky pot, the flow of water is faster, and when there is less water, the flow of water is slow, which obviously affects the accuracy of the measurement time. Therefore, add another leaky pot on the leaky pot, and at the same time that the water flows out from the leaky pot below, the water from the leaky pot above is continuously replenished to the leaky pot below, so that the water in the leaky pot below flows evenly into the quiver, so as to obtain a more accurate moment.

As soon as the ugly time arrived, Yang Xiong issued a total order, first sent the first rocket from the Chinese army camp, and the sergeants of the whole battalion fired it together after seeing it, and suddenly all kinds of firearms rose into the air, it was really like arrows like flying locusts, cannons like meteors, half of the sky turned into daylight, only an instant, the camp of the righteous army was on fire, and then the screams of the people were heard. After the Qin army finished firing all kinds of firearms, Yang Xiong and Sima Yi led all the leading cavalry to take the lead, followed by the infantry, and flew across the water together to charge the camp of the righteous army.

The Lishan craftsmen led by Zhang Han were also waiting quietly on the periphery, and they saw from a distance that the Qin army's position suddenly burst into flames, so they and their younger brother Zhang Ping's first rebel army also launched a charge, and they first divided the military camp into two parts. When Zhang Han came to the depth of the barracks, he and Zhang Ping waved their troops in their respective directions, and Zhang Xuan and Zhang Qu launched an attack on the south side of the camp of the rebels. More than 100,000 craftsmen, armed with weapons, like tigers descending from the mountain, they frantically slaughtered the camp of the rebels, and then there was only the earth-shattering shouting of killing. Most of the poor soldiers of the righteous army were asleep, and some of the soldiers were still drunk, when they heard the sound, and when they opened their eyes, they saw that there was already a fire around them, and they were all panicked, and some people didn't have time to put on their clothes and armor, and they had already been hit by several arrows, so they hurriedly got up and fled. As soon as they came out of the camp, they saw that the Qin army was killed like a flood of beasts, they cut people when they saw them, and chopped off their heads whenever they saw them, and the righteous army was just like the lamb to be slaughtered, with their heads rolling around, blood splashing everywhere, and flesh and blood blurring.

Some of the generals of the rebel army drank wine in the middle of the night before returning to the camp to rest, so they were all dizzy at this time, and what kind of battle were they fighting. After Zhou Wen arranged a place for Wang Ben to rest, he also lay in the tent and fell asleep in a daze. At this time, he suddenly heard a voice, and he was so shocked that he couldn't distinguish anything, and when he got up, he saw that there was a fire all around, so he hurried out of the account to hide. When I looked up, I saw that the sky was full of rockets and artillery, and there was a deafening explosion sound around me. Zhou Wen is an extremely cautious person, although he drank wine, but he didn't drink much, when he heard the voice, he understood everything in his heart, so he hurriedly shouted: "We fell into the hands of Wang Ben's old thief, quickly kill the old thief!" "Hurriedly pick up the guy and kill Wang Ben's big tent. At this time, Wang Ben had already rushed out of the big tent, and he had also seized the weapons of the rebels and was slashing and killing the rebels. When he saw Zhou Wen and the others killed, he shouted: "Traitor! Chu Ko! Qin and Chu don't share the sky! You're screwed! Surrender quickly! Ha ha! Zhou Wen said angrily: "The old horseman, you dare to make a trick!" I'll kill you! Wang Ben laughed and said, "Chu Kou! Traitor! You killed my son Wang Ao, I want revenge! Avenge! You're finished, hahaha! With that, he wiped his neck with his sword.

Han Qi didn't drink alcohol, he finished patrolling the camp in the middle of the night, and was about to go back to the camp to rest, when he suddenly saw fires on all sides, and hurriedly rode to the big tent of the Chinese army. Seeing that Wang Ben had committed suicide, he commanded everyone to fight with Zhou Wen. At this time, two Qin generals suddenly arrived and killed their horses, and they shouted: "Anti-thief! Don't hurt my marshal! Take your life quickly! It turned out that Yang Xiong and Sima Yi rushed to save Wang Ben. Zhou Wen saw that Wang Ben was dead, so he turned back to fight Yang Xiong, Han Qi and Sima Yi took over, and the four of them fought for more than a dozen rounds, because Zhou Wen was angry and had no intention of fighting, so he turned around and left, and Han Qi also followed. Yang Xiong saw that Zhou Wen had run away, so he and Sima Yi hurriedly dismounted and found Wang Ben's body, and the two shouted: "General Wang! But Wang Ben was already dead, so he ordered the Qin army to immediately escort the body to the camp on the west bank. When the two saw that the commander had been killed, they got on the horse with tears in their eyes, and together they commanded the lieutenant army to cover up to the east, shouting: "Don't let Zhou Wen go!" Capture Zhou Wen alive......"

When Zhou Wen was running, He Zhi, Yang Sheng, Deng Zhong and other generals also caught up, and everyone broke through to the east together, and the shouts and killings around were endless. Suddenly, a member of the Qin General was killed head-on, and shouted: "Zhang Han, the general of the Qin State, is here!" Dismount and die! When Zhou Wen heard that it was Zhang Han, he asked Han Qi who Zhang Han was. Han Qi couldn't remember it for a while. Everyone didn't dare to fight, so they opened a bloody road from the side and fled. At this time, Yang Xiong and Sima Yi and other generals of the Qin State chased after them again, and they slashed and killed the rebels like crazy, and had already smashed the camp of the rebels, and then worked together to chase and kill General Zhou Wen. While Qin Jun was chasing, he shouted that Hugh wanted to let Zhou Wen go. Kong Fan and Kong Long saw that the Qin army was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to catch the fight. The Qin generals attacked them and hacked them to death under their horses. Zhou Wen and the others ran for more than ten miles in one go, and then heard General Qin chasing after them. The generals of the rebel army, Yuan Hui, Bao Yu, He Zhi and others also greeted them. Yuan Hui and Bao Yu were stabbed to death by Yang Xiong and Sima Yi, and He Zhi was defeated and fled. At this time, Zhou Wen, Han Qi and the others didn't know how many Qin troops had come, so they just ran wildly all the way. After a while, another Qin army chased after them, and Yuan Yi and Wen Luan met them......

When everyone ran to the territory of Zheng County, the shouting and killing gradually disappeared, and the sky was already bright at this time. Zhou Wen and the others slowed down slightly, looked back, and only a few people followed, and said to Han Qi: "I fell for Wang Ben's old thief!" I regret that I did not listen to your advice, and now I have the face to go back to the king? Why did God help Qin and not Chu? So much so that he screamed, fainted, and fell from his horse. Han Qi and the others hurriedly dismounted to rescue Zhou Wen, and then tied their clothes to the horse's back and continued to escape.

When Zhou Wen came to the city of Zhengxian, he slowly relieved his breath. When Wen Chu heard that the rebel army had been defeated, he hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome everyone into the city, and everyone had a chance to breathe. At this time, there were still rebels who arrived one after another, and they all entered the city. When Zhou Wen came to the city, he slowly asked that it was the craftsmen of Lishan who killed them, and Zhang Han was a general who was responsible for the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum. When Zhou Wen learned of this situation, he was full of regret in his heart, so he wept bitterly and said: "Pity my 300,000 righteous people, they all died overnight!" Han Qi said: "'Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. 'Don't be discouraged, general, we can make a comeback. Zhou Wendao: "If Zhang Han chases after him again, how can he resist?" Moreover, if the Qin army wins, the strength will be even stronger. Han Qi said: "It's better to take advantage of Zhang Han's arrival, let's retreat to Hangu Pass first, as long as we hold the West Pass, they will have no way to take us." Then report to the false king and let him lead the army to come, and then enter Xianyang! Zhou Wen felt that what Han Qi said was very reasonable, so he ordered the officers and men of the whole army to leave Zheng County immediately and come to Hangu Pass to guard.

Zhang Han rode a horse and chased to the territory of Zheng County, and when he saw that Zhou Wen had gone away, he gathered people from all walks of life and asked if he could catch Zhou Wen. They all said no. Suddenly, a sergeant came to report that the remnants of the rebels had fled to the shore of Weishui. Zhang Han said decisively: "Now that Zhou Wen has failed miserably, even if he escapes with his life, there is no need to worry." Now is the time to destroy the remnants of the thieves, lest the dogs jump over the wall and plague the city. He and Yang Xiong and others led everyone to the shore of Weishui to kill again. There were still more than 100,000 rebels who fled to the edge of Weishui, some swam to the other side to flee for their lives, some drowned, and those who could not swim were chased and killed by the Qin army, from morning to noon, and tens of thousands of people surrendered, most of them were guards who served labor in various places, and the rest were killed. The Wei River was littered with corpses, and the water had turned red.

In the battle of playing in the water, the Qin army achieved a great victory, Zhang Han gathered the men and horses to the water camp, and the soldiers of the Qin army set up a mourning hall to pay tribute to Wang Ben, and then wrote the battle situation into a book to report to the imperial court. When the second heard of the great victory of the Qin army, he was very happy and immediately recalled the lieutenant army to continue to defend Xianyang. A large-scale memorial event was held for Wang Ben, and then Wang Ben was posthumously regarded as the general who protected the country, and then gave him money, silk, clothes, coffins, carriages and horses, and then ordered the sergeant to transport the body back to his hometown in Pinyang for burial. Feng Quji, Li Si and other old ministers played again: "Zhang Han led the disciples to destroy the traitors, please Your Majesty worship Zhang Han as a general, and then order Yang Xiong and Sima Yi and others to listen to the order in front of the army, and then continue to chase and kill Zhou Wen and recover Hangu Pass." The second praised him greatly, and ordered the messenger to go to the camp to give the seal Han. After Zhang Han took office as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Qin State, he immediately gathered the crowd and said: "Zhou Wen has entered the customs and is isolated, he should be pursued and killed as soon as possible, and he must be caught!" So he led a large army of men and horses to chase forward. There is a poem that sighs:

Wang Ben's deception plan was higher, and Zhang Han secretly attacked the remnant dynasty.

Who knew that 100,000 Lishan craftsmen would make Chen's throne unstable!

When Zhang Han and the others chased to the foot of Hangu Pass, the righteous army had already held the pass, and Zhang Han shouted: "Anti-country thief, come out and surrender quickly!" Zhou Wen came to the gate and shouted loudly: "Brothers in Lishan, you are all poor people who were forcibly captured by the Qin State, why do you want to work for the tyrannical Qin? We are the soldiers and horses of the Chu State, and now we are ordered by the King of Chu to destroy the Qin State, please immediately turn against each other, kill Zhang Han, and respond to the uprising in Shandong! The craftsmen immediately talked about it. Zhang Han was shocked and personally rushed towards the pass. Zhou Wen ordered the sergeant to release the arrow. Zhang Han could not get close, he was worried that the craftsmen would mutiny, so he immediately ordered a retreat, and only a few Qin troops were transferred to the front to prevent the rebels from contacting the craftsmen again.

That night, Zhang Han said to the generals again: "Zhou Wen suffered a defeat, his vitality was greatly damaged, if he attacked urgently, he would fight to the death, he should bluff, let Zhou Wen be suspicious, and the suspicion will abandon the pass and leave, and Hangu Pass can be restored." Everyone thought it made sense, so they let the sergeant deliberately say that the Great Wall Army had come to reinforce it.

When Zhou Wen heard the news, he gathered the crowd and said, "We retreat to the pass, what if the army of the Qin State really comes?" The generals said, "It's better to ask the false king for help." Zhou Wendao: "It's still far away from Xingyang, and the decisive battle with Zhang Han is just around the corner, I'm afraid that the army of the fake king has not arrived, and the Great Wall army will come first, and it will be caught in the east-west attack." The generals said together: "It's better to withdraw from Hangu Pass first, and then think about it in the long run." After thinking about it, Zhou Wensi decided to evacuate Hangu Pass. At this time, the people in the pass came to cry and said: "The Qin State is tyrannical and unreasonable, even if we die, we will not be the ghosts of the Qin State!" "Just follow the rebels out of the customs together. Zhou Wen was moved.

The next day, Zhang Han heard that Zhou Wen had really retreated, and he was overjoyed, so he came to the gate. Seeing that the gate of Dongguan was completely destroyed, he immediately ordered the gate to be rebuilt. The second emperor was very happy to learn that Hangu Pass had been recovered, and asked his ministers for advice. General Feng Zheng said: "In the battle of the opera pavilion, Zhang Han and other thieves will be killed by 200,000 or 300,000 people, please Your Majesty will reward all the soldiers first, and then send reinforcements to Zhang Han, and you can get out of the customs in one fell swoop." "II is perfectly accurate.

After Zhou Wen came to Caoyangyi after leaving the customs, he took in some of the fleeing people, and together with the follow-up troops, gathered tens of thousands of horses. Zhou Wen hated it: "I didn't expect that we were defeated in the hands of craftsmen!" If you had known this, you should have encouraged them! I didn't think it through! Han Qi said: "Hangu Pass has been lost, please report to the king quickly, and then try a good plan." Zhou Wen first sent a distress letter to the fake king, and then reported to Chen Cheng, and from then on, King Zhang Chu's career became passive. There is a poem in the past that sighed:

The lone army turned to the letter pass, and escaped as soon as he was defeated.

Ruijin retreats quickly from the visit, and the name of the sages is always difficult to delete.
