The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Marquis Zhao of the State of Zhao took the battle report of the Battle of Shaoliang and said feebly after reading it:"Prime Minister, Wei defeated Qin in the Battle of Shaoliang, beheading more than 100,000 people, and he was not a new general of Wei in the Battle of Shaoliang. Wei made the mistake, but Pang Juan. Now South Korea has been defeated, and Qin has also been defeated. What should Zhao do this time?"

Prime Minister Gong Zhongle said:"Your Majesty, I think the leader of the Wei army that confronts our Zhao army should be Wei. Wrong, it is better to send Zhao Shou to attack the Wei army."

After hearing this, Zhao Hou said:"Just follow the words of the prime minister." In the Zhao army camp in

Huishui

, Zhao Shou took the imperial order that had just been sent. After reading it, he faced The generals said:"All the troops, cross the river to attack the Wei army." Zhao Shou said again:"Lieutenant general, you can bring ten thousand people to build ten pontoon bridges, so that our army will not be attacked by the Wei army halfway across the river."——obey.

In the camp of the Wei army, Wei Cuo was reading a book. At this time, the deputy general entered the camp and said:"General, there are signs of a large army dispatching in the camp of the Zhao army, and the Zhao army is also building a pontoon bridge." After hearing this, Wei Cuo said:"Oh , It seems that Zhao Jun can't wait any longer, and ordered the entire army to prepare to retreat. Our army will retreat thirty miles and give Zhao Jun some time to prepare."

The deputy general asked in confusion:"General, why are our troops retreating? Can't we retreat and attack halfway across?""The purpose of retreating is to lure Zhao Jun to attack. I will use retreat as an advance. You lead 20,000 troops here.……"After hearing this, the deputy general said excitedly:"General's brilliant idea."""Go and get ready."Wei Cuo said. Zhao Shou

, the leader of the Zhao army, looked towards the Wei army's camp on the other side of the river and asked:"What's going on in the Wei army's camp?""General, when our army used a chariot to look at the Wei army's camp, we found that the Wei army seemed to be preparing to retreat."The soldier on the side replied."Zhe retreats, Wei Jun retreats with Zhe."……"Zhao Shou thought hard.

While Zhao Shou was still thinking, the deputy general came over and said,"General, three pontoon bridges have been built. Do you have any instructions?" After hearing this, Zhao Shou said,"Take 20,000 people across the river to set up a defensive formation, and wait until you reach the pontoon bridge." After everything was built, I led the army across the river and then attacked the Wei army camp.""obey."The deputy general said. A messenger from the Wei army said:"General, the Zhao army sent 20,000 people across the river to set up a defensive formation. After hearing this, Wei

Cuo said:"It seems that the general of the Zhao army is still somewhat capable. He ordered the whole army to act according to the plan.""

Two hours later, Zhao Jun had built all the pontoon bridges. The soldiers said to Zhao Shou:"General, all the pontoon bridges have been built. Can the army cross the river? Zhao Shou stared straight at the Wei army camp on the other side of the river and said,"The whole army will cross the river and attack the Wei army camp. Order the 20,000 forwards to attack quickly.""

After the Zhao army on the other side of the river received the order from the general, the deputy general led 20,000 people to directly attack the Wei army's camp. However, the Wei army did not fire arrows and no one came out to resist. It seemed that the Wei army's camp was empty.

But Zhao Jun The lieutenant general did not think too much and led the army to attack. The lieutenant general took the lead. When he rushed in, he was dumbfounded. There was no one in the Wei army camp. They were all gone. The lieutenant patted his face to confirm that this was the case. In fact, the envoy sent someone to tell General Zhao Shou that the Wei army had escaped.

At this time, Zhao Shou was leading the army across the river. Zhao Shou shouted loudly:"The whole army is moving forward quickly."A messenger came and said:"General, the Wei army camp is empty. The Wei army has fled long ago.""What, Wei Jun ran away, sent scouts to find out where Wei Jun was."In the Wei army's camp, Zhao Shouzheng was leading people to carefully inspect the Wei army's camp. Zhao Shou did not understand why Wei Junzhe retreated and where Wei Junzhe was.

A scout hurriedly ran over and said:"General, Our army has found out the direction of the Wei army, which is sixty miles away in the rear. After hearing this, Zhao Shou immediately said to the deputy general:"You lead 20,000 people as the vanguard, and I will lead the army to meet you in the rear. The distance between the two armies should not exceed five miles."""obey."The deputy general then advanced with 20,000 people.

Wei Si, the chief general of the Wei army, was waiting for Zhao's army to be trapped sixty miles away. His own soldiers came over and reported:"General, according to what the scouts said, the Zhao army sent 20,000 people as the vanguard. The National Army and the Zhao Army's vanguard were less than five miles apart. After hearing this, Wei Si said:"Let the Zhao army's vanguard come in. When the Zhao army comes, order the ambush troops to attack."""obey."The vanguard of Zhao Jun advanced at full speed under the leadership of Vice General Zhao Jun. After walking for about an hour, a captain came and said:"General, not far ahead is the army of Wei State, but the army needs to pass this road. There are many people on both sides of this road. It's a big mountain, so there might be an ambush."

The deputy general said to the captain:"Do you know why our Zhao army was divided into two armies?"""I don't know," the captain said puzzledly. The lieutenant general said:"Our army is divided into two armies, separated by five miles. In this way, if our vanguard is ambushed, the rear army can rescue and surround the opponent's ambush. At this time, the opponent's ambush will be slain by us. Once the army in the rear is ambushed, our army can rescue it, so the Wei army's ambush is just like a decoration."After saying that, he ordered the army to move forward. When the Zhao Army's vanguard entered, the deputy general of Zhao Army ordered to maintain the formation. The ambushing Wei Army did not ambush the Zhao Army's vanguard. When Zhao Jun, who was the vanguard, passed by, Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief. In front is the Wei army, and the deputy general ordered:"Attack."

Zhao Shou's army was walking behind. When Zhao Shou heard that the vanguard had started fighting with the Wei army, he accelerated his march and went to support. Zhao Shou led the army into the valley. In order to fight the decisive battle with the Wei army, Zhao Shou was not prepared. A soldier said:"General, it's better to be careful, there may be an ambush here. Zhao Shou laughed and said:"When the vanguard army came over, it was not ambushed, which means there must be no ambush here.""

As soon as the voice fell, thousands of arrows were fired from the mountains on both sides. For a moment, Zhao's army was in chaos, with many casualties and casualties. Zhao Shou shouted:"Defense, defend quickly." Zhao Shou's soldiers immediately organized a defense to protect Zhao Shou. Zhao Shou ordered:"Retreat, the entire army withdraws from the valley."The Zhao army was defeated.

After retreating from the valley, Zhao Shou remembered the 20,000 troops in the vanguard. He also understood the strategy of the general of the Wei army and shouted:"No, retreat quickly and defend by the water. A soldier said:"General, it's getting late. If you want to go back, you have to walk at night." After listening to the soldiers, he said:"Retreat the army twenty miles to camp, and retreat to Huishui tomorrow morning.""Yes.

At this time, Zhao Jun's 20,000 vanguard troops have been completely wiped out by Wei Jun. Wei Cuo looked at the tens of thousands of corpses on the ground. The ground was dyed red with blood. The deputy general came over and said:"General, Zhao Jun's vanguard has been destroyed by me. The main purpose is total annihilation. In this battle, our army wiped out 27,000 enemies and suffered only 8,000 casualties. After Wei

Cuo heard this, he was delighted. There were only about 40,000 Zhao troops left in this battle, and he said,"You lead five thousand troops to make a detour and burn the pontoon bridge that Zhao Jun built on the water.""Yes. Zhao Jun retreated twenty miles and camped under the leadership of Zhao Shou. Zhao Shou has now lost his troops. If he can't defend Lian Huishui, he will definitely be killed by Zhao Hou. Now he can only continue to defend and let Wei Jun When he came to attack, he did not believe that he could not defend the border by relying on the Hui River. At this time, Wei Cuo already knew the location of Zhao Jun's camp based on what the scouts said. Wei Cuo said to the generals:"Everyone, Zhao Jun's camp has been found. , attack Zhao Jun tonight""obey."
