At this time, Qin's general Bai Qi defeated the Chu army and captured the capital of Ying [yǐng].

Yingdu is the capital of Chu State . King Qingxiang of Chu was defeated and ran to Chendi.

At the same time, the Qin general Wei Ran captured Qianzhong and changed its name to Qianzhong County and became a county of the Qin State. The Chu State's power was greatly reduced and it was unable to compete with the Qin State, so it sent the Taifu Huang Xie Accompany the prince Xiong Wan and go to Qin as a hostage to sue for peace.

In the second year, Bai Qi led troops to attack Wei Kingdom again, aiming directly at Daliang. Wei State sent general Bao Yuan (yuān) to fight, but was defeated and forty thousand people were beheaded by the Qin army.

Wei State ceded three cities to Qin State to seek peace.

Because Bai Qi captured a lot of territory, was invincible, and made great contributions, King Zhaoxiang of Qin named Bai Qi Lord Wu'an.

Later, Hu Shang, the guest minister of Qin, attacked Wei again, defeated Wei general Mangmao , captured Nanyang , and changed its name to Nanyang County.

The State of Qin continued to send Hu Shang's two hundred thousand troops to attack Korea . Yan (yān) and the city were besieged, and King Han Li sent an envoy to Zhao Guo for help.

King Zhao Huiwen gathered ministers to discuss: "Should South Korea be rescued?"

Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Lecheng unanimously agreed: "The road to Yanhe is dangerous and narrow, and it is inconvenient to march, so it is not suitable for rescue."

Prince Pingyuan Zhao Sheng said: "Han and Wei are dependent on each other. If we don't save it, the war will burn to Zhao sooner or later!"

Among the civil servants and generals present, only Zhao She was silent, as if thinking about things, King Zhao Watch After arriving, the nomination was solicited for his opinion.

Zhao She replied: "The road is dangerous and narrow, just like two rats fighting in a cave. The one who is brave will win."

King Zhao Huiwen is inclined to send troops, and he will send out those who want to fight and dare to fight! Lian Po has already said that there can be no fighting and it is impossible to send them again.

King Zhao mobilized 50,000 troops and sent Zhao She to lead them to rescue South Korea.

Zhao She led his troops out of the east gate of Handan and walked thirty miles, then sent orders to build barriers and set up camp in the village. After the assignments were made, the general's order was specially issued: "Anyone who mentions the military situation will be killed immediately!"

Then, the camp gate was closed tightly.

There was a fierce battle between Yan and the city. There were gongs and drums, trumpets, bows and arrows, clashing of weapons, and shouts of killing, which shook the earth and the earth. Some soldiers reported to Zhao She that the Qin army was in a hurry to attack Yan and Zhao She said nothing and violated military orders. cut.

killed the soldiers who reported the incident.

stayed in place for twenty-eight days, digging trenches, strengthening barriers, and building fortifications every day.

Qin State General Hu Shang began to hear that Zhao Bing was coming to rescue him, and sent spies to inquire about the news.

The spy reported: "Zhao General Zhao She led 50,000 troops to rescue Yan Yu."

A few days later, he reported: "Zhao She has led his troops out of Handan."

A few days later, he reported again: "Zhao She went out of Handan. "Ten miles to set up camp."

A few days later, it was reported again: "Zhao She built the fortifications and stood firm."

More than 20 days later, the spy reported that Zhao She was only increasing the defenses and not sending troops, which made General Hu Shang very troubled. Unable to figure it out, he sent a close friend to challenge the Zhao army and said to Zhao She: "The Qin army attacked Yanyu and destroyed the city overnight. If the general can fight, come immediately!"

Zhao She said to the envoy: "We Because the neighboring country is in danger, the king specially sent me to defend himself. How dare I fight with the Qin army? "He arranged food and wine, entertained the visitors sumptuously, showed them the trenches and fortifications he had built, and told the envoys how strong his fortifications were. Not easy to capture.

The Qin envoy came back to report to Hu Shang.

Hu Shang smiled and said: "Zhao soldiers stopped advancing thirty miles away from the capital. They built fortifications and prepared to hold on. They had no plan to rescue Yan Yu. It seems that Yan Yu will be mine sooner or later!" He no longer guarded against the Zhao army and concentrated on attacking Yanyu and dealing with Korean reinforcements.

Zhao She sent off the Qin envoy, calculated the distance, and arrived at the front line in about three days. Then he issued an order to select 10,000 cavalry sergeants who were accustomed to fighting and good at archery as the forward, and the army behind them, with titles of rolls. A, marched day and night, crossed the Korean border in two days and one night, set up camp fifteen miles away from Lanyu City, and built defensive barriers.

This time Hu Shang was so angry that he came as he asked. When

comes, fight, leave half of the troops to besiege the city, and personally lead the rest of the Qin army to meet the enemy.

A sergeant named Xu Li in the Zhao camp knelt in front of the central camp with the word "please advise" written in big on a bamboo slip.

Someone reported to Zhao She. Zhao She was surprised. Then he remembered the military order he had issued: "Anyone who mentions the military situation will be killed immediately!" The general sent out the message to cancel the military order, then summoned Xu Li into the big tent and asked: "What do you want to say?"

Xu Li said generously: "The Qin army did not expect that the Zhao army suddenly arrived and came to fight the fierce attack. The marshal must form a thick formation to prevent conflicts, otherwise he will be defeated."

Zhao She Said: "Yes." Immediately ordered to line up and wait.

Xu Li also said: "The Art of War says: 'He who has the advantageous location wins.' The northern mountain of Yanyu is the highest, but the Qin general did not know how to occupy it, so he stayed and waited for the marshal, so he should quickly send troops to defend it."

Zhao She said: " Yes." Immediately ordered Xu Li to lead an army of ten thousand men and station them on the northern mountain ridge.

Zhao Bing occupied a high place, and the actions of Qin's army were clearly seen.

After Beishan Ridge was occupied by the Zhao army, Hu Shang also realized that Beishan Ridge was an important military location and came to fight for the mountain. The mountain was rugged. Several Qin soldiers bravely rushed up, but they were all injured by Zhao Jun's flying rocks. Hu Shang Roaring and furious, you said you won't come to fight, but when you come, you will occupy the best terrain.

was deceived, why don't you worry?

Just when Hu Shang was commanding the army to search for a way to attack the mountain, he suddenly heard the sound of drums. Zhao She led the Zhao army to attack. Hu Shang ordered the army to divide the army to resist the enemy. Zhao She divided the 10,000 selected sharpshooters into Two or two teams, each with 5,000 men on the left and right, fired at the Qin army indiscriminately.

Xu Li saw the right opportunity and led 10,000 troops on the mountain to kill them from the top of the mountain. With thunderous shouts, they attacked from both sides. The Qin army had nowhere to dodge and fled in defeat.

During the escape, Hu Shang's horse was frightened and ran wildly, throwing Hu Shang to the ground. He was almost captured alive by Zhao Jun, but thanks to the arrival of deputy general Si Li, he rescued him desperately.

Zhao She pursued for fifty miles, but the Qin army could not hold on and formed a strong resistance, so they had to flee to the west.
