At nightfall, reinforcements from Zhouyang finally arrived east of Quwo City. The exhausted army did not enter the city, but into the forest at the back of the camp, and the commander and the soldiers, having eaten the dry rations they had brought with them, slept with their weapons in place.

Outside Quwo City, the lights were dark, and there was a lot of noise everywhere, and both sides were building their camps as soon as possible. The Jin army widened and lengthened the trench, extending the southern end to the foot of the mountain and the northern end to the city of Quwo, thus cutting off the enemy's retreat.

At dawn the next day, the enemy saw the wide and deep trench and finally felt panic. They discovered that the intention of the Jin people was not to protect themselves, but to destroy them all under the city of Quwo. In fact, after two battles, before the decisive battle began, the enemy army had already lost almost a tenth of its strength.

The enemy generals quickly gathered together to study countermeasures, and it was decided to attack (escape) in two ways: one way, bypassing the trenches in the mountains and forests south of Quwo City, and attacking the rear of the occupied battalion; The second road crosses Shushui in the north, marches along the river, and then captures Zhouyang, and from there crosses Shushui in the south.

After the battle plan was decided, the enemy first launched a feint attack on the front of the trench and the south and west gates of Quwo, and the enemy at the northern end of the trench took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the mountains and forests, and the enemy near the west gate began to cross the water to the north.

The enemy, who had infiltrated the forest, "smoothly" went around the rear of the enemy camp to attack, and they planned to seize the camp first, and then release their companions on the opposite side of the trench. The Jin army guarding the camp showed a very hurried and strained appearance, which further aroused the enemy's fighting mood, so a large number of enemies came over the mountains and forests again. But just as they were gathering more and more, reinforcements hidden in the depths suddenly appeared, and the reinforcements cut off the enemy's passage and attacked the Jin army in the camp inside and out, and soon wiped out the enemy.

The Jin army then rushed out of the woods and slammed into the enemy's right flank, at which point the enemy's forces were scattered, and the right flank was immediately broken through. The enemy began to flee in disorder, some burrowing into the mountains, but most were forced to retreat to the barracks, and the Jin army finally surrounded the enemy attacking the trenches.

The enemy attacking the city gate also began to flee when the situation was not good, and the Jin army rushed out of the city gate and rushed and beat it. The enemy built a defensive line on the south bank of the river to cover the crossing of the river. The Jin army did not storm the enemy's fortifications (because the main force of the Jin army was not here, and the troops were insufficient), but went around to the side to shoot at the enemy troops who were swimming in the water, and the enemy finally fled to the opposite bank after suffering heavy casualties.

The besieged enemy, who retreated into the camp, put up a little resistance, surrendered his weapons, and surrendered.

The retreating enemies along the northern shore of the river found that the situation was not as rosy as they had imagined, because the Jin Rong cavalry led by Hu Yan had been marching with them on the southern bank, making some provocative moves from time to time. When the enemy was about to reach Zhouyang, they found that the road had been cut off by a trench, and on the opposite side of the trench was the fortress of the Jin army. The escapees had no choice but to climb the mountain and escape.

The Jin state won a great victory in this war, and a large number of important figures and soldiers of the Gaoluo clan and Lirong were captured, and the two forces were forced to send envoys to sue for peace.

The messenger of the Gaoluo clan is called Hanru, and the envoy of Lirong is called Qiqiang, both of whom are son-level figures. As soon as they met, the two accused each other, claiming that they were dragged into the water by the other party, in an attempt to shift the blame for war crimes to the other party; The Jin people were so dizzy by the two that they had to isolate the two and negotiate with each side separately.

The Gaoluo clan was led by Gongzijian, and the two sides reached an agreement without much effort. It was You Zhong who was talking to Li Rong, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for 5,000 slaves, regardless of whether his demands were realistic or not. Han Ru really wanted to cry without tears, he said that the slaves of the entire Gaoluo clan together did not have 5,000 people!

Han Ru begged You Zhong for three days, but the number rose to six thousand. In desperation, Hanru found Gongzijian and asked him for help. Gongzijian said that he couldn't help because he couldn't interfere with You Zhong's authority.

Hanru thought that You Zhong was deliberately sabotaging the negotiations, and he thought that there was no point in staying here, so he prepared to leave the Jin Kingdom. The night before Hanru returned to China, Gongzijian set up a banquet for Hanru. Hanru is straightforward, Childe is easy-going, and the two are very speculative.

Towards the end of the banquet, Childe retreated from all the servants, leaving only the two of them in the huge room. Then Gongzijian tempted him to say something that he shouldn't say as a courtier. It turned out that Hanru was also ambitious, and his brother expected that it would be a difficult negotiation, so he sent him, which contained the intention that the negotiation would not achieve his punishment.

Then he began to curse his brother Di with the strength of wine, and complained that he himself was close to the Jin Kingdom, and his affection for the Jin Kingdom became the reason why the Di Lord hated him; Truth be told, what the Jin Kingdom needed was a monarch like him, not his older brother.

The intention in these words could not be more obvious, and Gongzi Jian said with a smile: "The widow has always valued you very much, if you can help the widow do one thing, the widow will help you get the throne after the matter is completed."

"After you set off on a cloudy day, the Lirong mission will depart in an hour. You ambush them five miles before the pass, and then you put their heads on the tip of your spear, and when you see the landmarks we made, you raise your spear, and our sentry sees Qiqiang's head, and that's done. Is it pale? ”

Han Ru was so frightened that he woke up halfway up: "But this will provoke a big battle between the Gaoluo clan and Lirong!" ”

Gongzijian said: "No, that place is not Jin Feidi, there are many mountain bandits, and Li Rong will not guess that we did it." And that Qiqiang! He killed one of the widow's nephews and two nephews of the You family, and he thought we didn't know, so we pretended not to know. The widow wants him to die, but he can't do it himself, you avenged the widow, and the widow will seize the throne for you, and Jin and the Gaoluo clan will be reconciled for generations, isn't this what you want? ”

Gongzijian became impatient when he saw that he was still hesitating, and he dragged Hanru up and walked into the back hall. There were three people tied to the pillars in the back hall, they were dressed in the clothes of the Gao Luo clan, their mouths were stuffed with rags, and they were all red-faced and angry. As soon as Han Ru saw them, he suddenly woke up, it turned out that they were his three political enemies who were captured by the Jin army, and the conversation between the two had reached the ears of the three of them word for word, so they were so excited. Gongzijian said: "When we see Qiqiang's head, we will give you these three heads, otherwise, you will know the consequences." ”

Hanru was forced to get on the thief ship, so he had to do what Gongzijian wanted. The Gaoluo clan annihilated the Lirong mission at the designated location. As they marched to the landmark with the head of the Lirong envoy, the sight before them drove Hanru crazy. They didn't find the secret outpost of the Jin people, but they saw a large Lirong army that had come to meet their mission!
