Li You held on to Xingyang for more than a month, and when he saw that Wu Guang's army was very numerous, he pondered a strategy in the city. One day, he summoned all the generals to discuss: "Now the whole ground is full of rebel disciples, and it is difficult for the imperial army to reach, Zhou Wen almost reached Xianyang, thanks to the imperial court sent General Zhang Han to resist with all his might, the rebels have been defeated, and the Qin state has reoccupied Hangu Pass." It was simply great for us! I would now like to send a man to sneak out of the city, to find out what is true among the rebels, and then make a battle plan. The staff member Guhua said impassionedly: "I am willing to go out of the city to investigate." Li You was overjoyed. So he prepared clothes for Guhua, and that night, he put on his clothes, and ordered the soldiers to hang him down from the city. Guhua smeared and infiltrated Wu Guang's camp.

Wu Guang besieged Xingyang, the righteous army had been tired for a long time, at this time I heard that Zhou Wen had failed miserably in entering the pass, and was driven to Michi by the Qin army, the army was in an uproar, and the false king also became depressed, especially his temper changed and became very irritable. He couldn't listen to what the soldiers said. One day, Tian Zang and Li Gui discussed privately: "I heard that Zhou Wen entered the customs and suffered a miserable defeat, which is very unfavorable to our army. Now that we have run out of grain and grass, if we don't take Xingyang as soon as possible, once the Qin army is killed, and Li You comes out of the city again, we will be attacked on our backs. Li Guidao: "That's true, but General Zhou Wen was defeated, and he must want to get our assistance. As soon as Zhang Han dies, we can still enter the customs again. Tian Zang said: "What you said is very reasonable, but I am worried that the false king will not listen to our advice." So they came and consulted with the military advisor. Chai Jing said: "When the fake king heard that Zhou Wenxin was defeated, his temperament suddenly changed, and I also offered advice many times, but he didn't listen." I have now thought of three more plans, and we will go to the false king together, and we must ask him to act according to the plan. ”

The three of them said, and came to the fake king's big tent, Chai Jing said: "Judging from the current situation, the situation is getting more and more unfavorable, I don't know what the fake king thinks?" The fake king said: "Now that General Zhou Wen has suffered a miserable defeat, and there is not much left of the Western Route Army, I am worried about this, every inch is in chaos, and the army is beginning to lack food." If people don't have enough to eat, the situation is even worse. Chai Jing said: "Because of this, we can no longer delay." I have already thought of three more strategies for you, and the king of leave has decided: The plan is to divide the troops to the west, hurry up and rescue General Zhou Wen, take advantage of his unpreparedness, kill Zhang Han by surprise, and enter the customs again. The plan is that our army will attack the city day and night at all costs, first capture Li You alive, once the city is broken, and then clamor to advance westward, Hangu Pass will be re-obtained. The next plan is to retreat the whole army, first go south to defend Chencheng, and then fight a decisive battle with the Qin army when all the armies are together. Which of these three strategies can be used, and the king of leave will decide as soon as possible? ”

The false king thought for a long time and said: "If we retreat without a fight, the king will definitely blame, and the plan will not work; If the troops are divided to the west, Li You will attack from behind, and the plan will not be appropriate; Or is it a medium plan? After everyone discussed, Wu Guang ordered Tian Zang and Li Gui to attack the east gate; The Zhu brothers attacked the south gate; Hou Rui and Han Fei attacked the West Gate; Gongsun attacked the north gate; The military division guarded the camp, and the false king personally led an army to meet the various roads. Everyone is properly assigned to capture Xingyang City with all their might. When the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were ready, they launched an attack on Xingyang.

When Li You saw that the righteous army was attacking the city, he and Qiang Yuan immediately commanded the Qin army to resist. Although the rebels were brave, due to the large number of people, the food in the army had long been eaten, so their morale was very low. They attacked from morning to evening, and still made no progress. The false king was furious in his heart, so he personally drove around the city to supervise the battle. Because the carriage was running fast, Li You asked the sergeants to shout in unison in the city: "Wu Guang is defeated!" Wu Guang has escaped! Kill! ...... "When the besieging Chu army heard that the false king had fled, they all stopped besieging the city, and some people ran around the city with the false king's car. At this time, Wu Guang mistakenly thought that the Qin army had gone out of the city, so he ran to his camp.

Tian Zang and Li Gui were besieging the city, and suddenly the news of the false king's defeat and flight came, and the people in the camp also ran away. The two were inexplicable, so they had to withdraw the team as well. When the military advisor saw the false king running back in the camp of the Chinese army, he asked, "Has the city been breached?" The false king had already realized that he had made a mistake at this time, so he had no choice but to reply: "The soldiers are very tired, and Li You is scheming, and I am afraid that he will attack suddenly, so I retreat!" The military advisor stomped his feet and said: "The soldiers are desperate to attack the city, fighting from morning to night, and they are about to conquer the city, but you suddenly give up, is this a failure?" If Li You re-strengthens the defense, it will be difficult to conquer! But the false king said disapprerovingly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and if we fight again tomorrow, the city will definitely be breached!" The military advisor lamented: "General Zhou Wen has suffered a defeat, and now he is waiting for us to come to the rescue, what if it is delayed and General Zhou Wen is completely defeated?" At this time, some people around the false king shouted: "Now that everyone can't even eat, how can they go to war?" If you want to fight yourself, right? As soon as they spoke, they dispersed, and some of the bold ones even ran to the people's houses to grab food, and the military discipline became more and more corrupt, and the false king could not stop it.

At this moment, Tian Zang and Li Gui walked in again, and when they saw the false king, they said angrily: "Seeing that the city gate is about to be breached, why did the false king suddenly escape?" Wu Guang was originally angry about his mistakes, but he was accused by Tian Zang in person, and he was immediately furious, and said: "The three armies should obey Gu's orders, do you also blame this king?" After speaking, he let Tian Zang blast out left and right. After Tian Zang was driven out, he returned to his camp in a huff.

At this time, the spy sent by Li You, Guhua, had been hiding in the camp for many days, and after he found out what was going on in the Chu camp, he secretly came to the city again, and then sent a signal. And the men of the city came to meet them, and they lowered their ropes and hung the drum into the city. Gu Hua entered the city and reported everything he had heard and witnessed to Li You, and said that the wise man Wu Guang relied on was the military advisor Chai Jing. After listening to the report, Li You said: "The thieves are now running out of food, and they are still grabbing grain everywhere, plus they have no training, and the commanders are not able to command, this is a rabble. But I'll have to find a way to get rid of the Kobold first! Li You thought about it for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, Lord Qiangyuan will supervise the battle, and you will set up an 'invincible array in the world' under the city, and then let Wu Guang come to break the formation." Wu Guang is an old rough boy, he must not know anything about the formation, he will bring the dog-headed military division, I will hide under the door flag, and when Chai Jing approaches, I will shoot him with an arrow, Wu Guang has no backbone. After a long time, the thieves will have infighting, and then find a way to break him. Qiang Yuan was very happy to hear this, but said, "I won't set up an invincible array in the world?" Li You laughed and said, "The invincible array in the world is the 'bullshit array'!" Qiang Yuan suddenly understood, and laughed: "General Li really knows how to be treacherous? ”

The next day, Qiang Yuan ordered the sergeants to suddenly beat the drum and prepare for battle. When the false king heard the sound of the drums, he thought that Li You was going to go out of the city, so he came to the city to inspect, but when he saw that it was the Qiangyuan overseer, he asked, "Why didn't Li You go to war?" So you're a defeated overseer here? Qiang Yuan said: "General Li is invincible in the world, but he will not set up a formation." I want to use the formation to win you today, but you're also a layman? The fake king smiled and said: "I will only break the formation, no matter what formation you put on!" Li Youdao: "You don't even know the formation, you are really laughable and generous, and you will break the formation?" I already knew that you were born as a soldier, and today Chen Sheng worships you as a general, and his affairs will definitely be over? The fake king was very angry, so he asked Chai Jing: "Do you have any research on formation?" Chai Jing said: "I also know some." The false king laughed and said, "Why don't you admit it?" "Qiang Yuan sent three hundred soldiers out of the city to set up a formation. Li You disguised himself as a sergeant and went out of the city together. The sergeants in front of them all held flags and stood in front of them. When the Qin army behind saw the military flag of Qiangyuan, they changed the queue at will and stood still.

Of course, the fake king didn't know the formation, so he asked Chai Jing to come forward to recognize the formation. Chai Jing came to the front line, and saw that the formation of the Qin army did not look like anything, so he was about to return, when he suddenly shot an arrow from the opposite side, which was in the center of the nest, and he turned over and fell off his horse. The fake king was shocked and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to step forward and snatch back the military division. The false king was furious, so he asked Qiang Yuan, "Why is this?" Qiang Yuan laughed and urgently ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the three hundred Qin troops immediately withdrew to the city. Li You came to the city and laughed: "Wu Guang, do you know the 'Invincible Array in the World'?" Hahaha! The fake king knew that Li Youshi tricked the military advisor out and shot him, and he was furious, but he had no choice but to let the flowers fall, and the fake king had to withdraw his troops.

That night, the false king and the soldiers set up a mourning hall for the military advisors, and the soldiers were embarrassed and their morale was very low. The next day, he buried Chai Jing in a place outside. Tian Zang saw that he had lost his military division, so he returned to the camp, and he was so angry that he didn't close his eyes all night, and only suffered until dawn, when someone suddenly came in to report that he had caught a spy. Tian Zang jumped up and asked the spy to be brought in for interrogation. The spy said that he was a soldier of the Qin State and had just come out of the camp of the false king. Tian Zang was shocked, so he searched for a letter from him. When Tian Zang opened it, it read:

General Li Youda: Chen Sheng and I raised troops in Daze Township, and our merits are comparable. But Chen Sheng established himself as the king of Chu, and sat in Chen City, enjoying ready-made, while I personally risked arrows and stones on the front line, serving my life with death, and my status was just a general. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have been bewitched by him and rebelled before, but I embarked on a road of self-destruction in my heart, which is really beyond my regret. If I can be a man again, sooner or later I will tie up this gang of fierce and stubborn people to surrender, and I hope that the general will vouch for me, and I must convey my heart to His Majesty the Emperor, so that the criminal ministers will dare to come and submit. General Li quickly replied. Wu Guang paused.

After reading the letter, Tian Zang seemed to be in the head, and said angrily in his heart: "I see! He killed the Qin soldiers with a sword, and then sent someone to invite Li Gui. After Li Gui arrived, he was also taken aback after reading the letter, and said, "The false king is so unrighteous, what should I do?" Tian Zang said angrily: "He humiliated me many times, and now I know why he didn't bother to attack the city." He was originally arrogant, and he didn't know the art of war and tactics, and now he wants to defect to the enemy, which is really an unforgivable sin! Li Guidao: "What is it like now?" Tian Zang said: "It's better to kill him, we will attack the city ourselves!" Li Gui was surprised and said: "Killing the false king is the following crime, what should I do if the king is blamed?" Tian Zang said: "Now that the military advisor is also dead, who else can I discuss these things with?" Instead of letting Wu Guang tie us up to surrender to the Qin State, it is better to start in advance! Li Gui felt that it was inappropriate, and hesitated: "It's better to send a fast horse to Chen Cheng to report first, and let the king personally decide this matter." Tian Zang said: "The matter is urgent, I'm afraid that the person who asked for instructions has not returned, and our head has already been sent to Li You." I've got a way to get this done! Li Gui asked what the solution was. Tian Zang said: "Just write an edict in the name of the king, behead Wu Guang first, and then go to the king, what do you think?" Li Guidao: "What if the king is angry?" Tian Zang said: "The king's killing of Ge Ying is a precedent. I know the king best: he is the most jealous of others and has two hearts. Now that Wu Guang is a fake king, the king must have some scruples in his heart, and we killed the fake king, in fact, it is to get rid of the troubles for the king, and the king is too late to thank the two of us, how can we blame? Li Gui was silent as soon as he heard this. Tian Zang urged again: "Without further ado, after dawn, Li You will not see the messenger go back, and he will definitely send someone to contact him again, the matter will be leaked, and we must act immediately!" The two of them immediately wrote an edict and waited until dawn.

Early the next morning, before the fake king got up, he suddenly saw Tian Zang and Li Gui break in. Wu Guang asked, "Why didn't you break in without reporting?" Li Gui didn't pay attention to it, so he took out the edict and said: "The king is edicted, please Wu Guang take the edict." Wu Guang didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the edict. Li Gui immediately read out:

There are really too many mistakes of the false king, he has besieged Xingyang for more than two months, and he can't conquer it, let alone enter the pass to destroy Qin, and now he is secretly secretly communicating with Qin general Li You, preparing to commit treason to the enemy. As a false king, you do not think of loyalty and righteousness, and die to repay the country, but treacherous and treasonous, such an unrighteous person, the widow wanted to cure you of the crime of extermination, but for the sake of the joint army, only give you one death, and the disaster will not reach your family!

When Wu Guang heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was so shocked that his soul was scattered. Tian Zang stabbed Wu Guang from behind. Poor Wu Guang and Chen Sheng raised troops together, in order to destroy the tyrannical Qin, he only fought for more than four months, and was assassinated by his subordinates. Later generations read history so far, wrote poems and sighed:

The carved plate is a bloody sludge ditch, and the battle of the strong man is endless.

When he went to the end of the world, he didn't expect the rain, and when he came to the soldiers, he wanted to be a marquis.

Baifu Lu rose to the left, and a document fell to the ground.

Although the stars are long in the sky, the light is still shining for thousands of years.

The two of them killed the false king, and then walked out of the big tent and announced to the soldiers: "We have been ordered by the king to kill the traitor Wu Guang!" "I'll tell you the belief I found from Qin Jun. When the soldiers heard this, they were all shocked, but the matter had come to this point, and the situation could not be reversed. Some soldiers were very sad, and they also knew that Tian Zang was stubborn and self-serving, and it was difficult to make things happen, so most of the people were dispersed and disappeared from then on. The Zhu brothers were the most supportive of the fake king, and now when they saw that the fake king was dead, they hastily buried the body. Then he burst into tears and drew a group of brothers to the east.

When Hou Rui, Han Fei, Gongsun Xin and other generals saw the letter written by the fake king to Li You, they didn't know whether it was true or false, and they were sad and regretful. Tian Zang then wrote a note, vividly explaining how the false king did not move, how to cooperate with the enemy, and other shadowless things, and sent someone to immediately take the letter of "fornication" Li You and send someone to send it to Chen Cheng quickly. The messenger came to Chencheng and made things clear. King Chen was shocked when he heard that the false king had committed treason. Shangzhuguo Cai Ci said: "This must be Li You's discordant plan!" Tian Zang and Li Gui were both born in the military, and they fell for Li You's tricks! "I lamented it. King Chen was furious and wanted to cure the sins of Tian Zang and Li Gui. Shangzhu Guodao: "The matter has come to this point, and if you kill Tian and Li again, Li You will die of joy." Now that there are no generals to send, it is better to make mistakes and give the general's seal to Tian Zang, so that he can continue to fight with Zhang Han, right? King Chen had no choice but to follow the advice of Shangzhu State, and gave Tian Zang the great seal of Ling Yin of Chu State to show his trust in him. The envoy took the seal ribbon and immediately rushed to Xingyang to seal Tian Zang.

Tian Zang became the commander and general of the Chu State, and he was so happy that he died. Suddenly, the Malay newspaper said that Zhang Han's army had occupied Mianchi, and General Zhou Wen had sacrificed his life. Tian Zang immediately raised his account and said to everyone: "The situation is very critical, if we don't divide our troops to meet the battle, our army will be defeated." So he asked Li Gui to continue the siege of Xingyang, and he led tens of thousands of soldiers to the west to meet Zhang Han.

Tian Zang led the army to Chenggao and met the Qin army. At that time, the two sides set up positions, and the rebels rushed to fight. I saw Qin Jun's handsome banner, a veteran is burly and majestic, with a fluttering silver beard, a black robe and silver armor, and a golden saddle BMW under his crotch. It doesn't seem that Wu Zixu is alive, but also Lao Lian Po is resurrected, with a horizontal hand in his left hand, a sword at his waist, majestic, and a whip pointing at Tian Zang and saying: "Nameless rats, fast name?" Tian Zang said angrily: "I am Tian Zang, the general of the Chu State, you are just an old pawn, do you dare to come to fight?" Zhang Han laughed and said: "You fell for General Li You's scheme and killed your false king by mistake, this is a great crime committed below, Chen Sheng will definitely cut off your dog's head in the future!" You're going to surrender sooner, right? Hahaha! Tian Zang was shocked when he heard this, and he was confused for a while. At this time, Zhang Han waved his division to cover up. Tian Zang had no choice but to command everyone to fight hard.

The two sides fought fiercely for an hour, and a group of tiger generals such as Zhang Han, Yang Xiong, and Sima Yi surrounded Tian Zang from all sides. Although Tian Zang is brave and invincible, how can he resist the attack of so many people. He rushed left and right, unable to penetrate the encirclement, and thought that he had fallen into Li You's discordant plan and killed the false king, so he was very remorseful in his heart, it was better to die in battle, so he shouted, and rushed towards Zhang Han on a horse, wanting to stab Zhang Han to death with a spear. Unexpectedly, the generals of the Qin State all stood in front of Zhang Han, but the chaotic blade stabbed at him. Poor Tian Zang was brave, but because his mind was too simple, he did things simply and rudely, and he only ended up with a heroic sacrifice. There is a poem that sighs:

Mountains and rivers turned into ashes? The bones are piled up in mounds.

Mo sighs and is brave with blood, and he sees death on the battlefield as if he were home.

When the rebels saw that their commander was killed, they fled for their lives, and the rebels retreated. Zhang Han ordered him to go straight to Xingyang.

In Xingyang City, Li You decided on a divisive plan based on the news that Guhua Tan heard. He sent only one man who had committed a capital offense, promising him to reuse his son if he completed his mission. The condemned prisoner deliberately wandered outside Tian Zang's barracks with a false letter. As a result, he was arrested by the sergeant, so that Tian Zang and Li Gui teamed up to kill the fake king. Li You was very happy to see that Wu Guang was dead, and when he heard that Zhou Wen was also dead, the Qin army had been killed under the city of Xingyang, so he led the Qin army out of the city. Li Gui was attacked by the enemy in the back and finally died in the army. Hou Rui, Han Fei, Gongsun Xin and other generals were all killed. The siege of Xingyang was lifted. After Zhang Han and Li You joined forces, Sanchuan County returned to the hands of Qin. The first anti-Qin army sent by King Chen failed in this way.
