After the retreat of the Qi division, Shikuo renewed the offensive against Quwo, and the defenders gave up resistance when they ran out of ammunition and food. Shi Ying was the first to rush into the city gate, calling Luan Ying's name menacingly. Luan Ying did not run away, he calmly returned to the mansion, sat on the right seat and waited for the last moment to come.

Shi Ying broke into the gate and immediately saw Luan Ying. He asked if there were any last words. Luan Ying said, "I will go to the Emperor of Heaven to accuse you and curse your family to perish within two generations!" ”

Shi Ying said: "The ghosts who accuse the Luan clan have been lined up for three generations, you better think about how to deal with them!" After saying that, he swung his sword and cut Luan Ying's throat, and Luan Ying was killed by his maternal grandfather, mother and uncle.

Luan Ying's body was hung on the city wall for public display, and then Shilu set off a bloody storm in the city: the army went door to door to hunt down Luan's henchmen, all the men surnamed Luan were killed on the spot, and the women were taken out of the city gate by Chuan Cheng, who were humiliated and then reduced to slavery; The corpses of the abandoned city were piled up into a small knoll, covered with layers of blackened flies.

Zhao Wu really couldn't stand it anymore, he found Shi Kuo and said: "At the beginning, the people of the country hated Luan Huang's atrocities, but now Shi Yan has gone even more than him. Transferring the hatred for the Luan family to the Fan family is probably not the original intention of the master. Besides, Luan and Fan are in-laws, so those atrocities are particularly outrageous, should the Master persuade him to stop the violence and restore order in Quwo? ”

Zhao Wu is the only candidate for the next general of the Chinese army, and with the shrewdness of Shilu's cunning and cunning, of course he is not willing to grudge with the Zhao family. So he called Shi Ying and reprimanded his son fiercely in front of Zhao Wu. Shi Ying ended the bloody and terrifying revenge, but at the same time, he also had a grudge against the Zhao family.

Qi Zhuanggong did not bring the army back to Linzi, but went all the way south and went to Ju again. It turned out that although Ju Zi had always served as his little follower, he was forced by the Jin people to join the Qi coalition army and did a lot of things that annoyed the Qi people. After the defeat of the Qi State, Ju Zi did not send envoys to admit his mistakes (because he was afraid of the Jin State and did not dare to send envoys).

Qi Zhuang Gong also knew that Ju Zi had bitterness in his heart and couldn't say it, but he still decided to teach Ju people a hard lesson.

About seventy miles north of the capital of Ju is called Ji Yu Pass, where the Ju people built a strong fortress; A few miles east of the pass there was a narrow pass, barely wide enough to fit a chariot.

The Qi division surrounded the fortress and immediately launched an attack on the city gates. Qi Zhuang Gong braved the arrows and stones, ran to the front line to personally supervise the battle, and the soldiers forgot to die, set up a hundred and ten ladders, and climbed up like ants. But the defenders were quite resolute in their sense of resistance, the commander calmly gave orders, and the soldiers used all means to fight the aggressor. In the eyes of the military, the enemy is the enemy, regardless of whether it is a large country or a small country.

Qi Zhuang Gong jumped out of the chariot, brandished his sword, and kept running and shouting in front of the battle. He suddenly let out a miserable "Ahh People looked down and saw that a sharp sword had pierced Qi Zhuanggong's thigh. Qi Zhuang Gong shouted: "Get out of the way!" It's all right to be outnumbered! ”

The guards carried him onto the chariot and protected him from the battlefield, despite his cries and struggles. The first day of fighting ended with Qi Zhuanggong's injury.

The field doctor helped him take care of his wounds. In the evening, the Duke of Qi Zhuang summoned the generals to a meeting, and he said: "The fortress cannot be broken from the front in a short time!" The only way to capture the fortress was to attack from the back, so the widow had to send a light army through the eastern pass to go around the back of the fortress. Who will carry out this task? ”

Qi Zhuang (Zi Liang, Meng Jiangnu's husband) and Hua Huan were the first to raise their hands, and Qi Zhuang Gong handed over the task to the two. The two men took thirty chariots and a thousand soldiers, untied the horses on the left and right sides of the chariot (because the pass was not wide enough to pass four horses side by side), and the soldiers took off their armor and put them on the chariot and marched lightly.

The strange army passed through the pass in the middle of the night, and the steep cliff wall disappeared, and the sergeant could see through the moonlight the plain shrouded in darkness and the lights on the capital of Ju in the distance.

He ordered to rest in place, and the sergeants put on their armor and slept in the suburbs with their weapons in their hands. Early the next morning, he gathered his army and prepared to take the back road of the lair. However, when the army marched to the Puhou clan, it suddenly encountered the main force of the Ju army led by Ju Zi himself, and it turned out that this army was about to rush to support and stay at the fortress.

Both sides were taken aback, and then both understood each other's intentions. Ju Zi was obviously more nervous than Qi people, and he was more eager to communicate with the other party. He personally drove out of the column to the front of the formation, calling the name of the commander. Hua also drove to Juzi and saluted him.

Ju Zi said: "The widow was about to ask the Marquis of Qi for peace, and unexpectedly met two doctors here; How about a blood oath with the widow? Qi Hou didn't need to use force to get allies, so why bother with the lives of his soldiers? The doctor has fulfilled the good things of the two countries, and the widow does not dare to enjoy the gold and jade silk alone, but will share it with the doctor. ”

Hua also said: "You must also hate those who are greedy for money and desecrate their duties; The minister accepted the order of the widow last night, and betrayed at noon today, what will I use to serve the widow? ”

Ju Zi said: "But in the end of the war, the two countries still have to negotiate peace?" Is it necessary to die a group of people first? ”

Hua also said: "I have not received any order to negotiate peace. ”

Ju Zi shook his head with an expression of infinite regret, and the two saluted each other and turned back to the army. The two began to set up the formation, and the Qi army faced a strong enemy more than ten times the number of their own, but no one from the generals to the soldiers showed fear, and the pride and self-esteem of the Qi people made people regard honor and courage as more important than life.

Juzi began to beat the drum, and the sound of war drums echoed in the crisp autumn noon at the foot of Yishan Mountain. The armies of the two sides soon came into contact with each other, and the Qi army's position was so weak that the other side only used half of the army to wrap it up and digest it; As a result, he died in battle, and Hua also took a very small number of soldiers to fight his way out of the bloody road, so that he was able to survive.

Juzi sent an envoy to ask for peace with the Duke of Qi Zhuang, and carefully collected the bodies of the dead in the Qi war, and handed over the coffin and prisoners of war to the Qi people. Qi Zhuanggong was satisfied with the result, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

The army marched to the outskirts of Linzi, and Meng Jiang, the wife of Qi Zheng, went out of the city to greet her husband's coffin; Qi Zhuanggong expressed his condolences to her. Meng Jiang didn't dare to accept it, she said: "If the ancestor is guilty, the prince naturally does not have to mourn; If he is not guilty, a mourning hall will be set up in the house, and the concubine will not dare to accept the mourning of the prince in the suburbs. ”

Yan Ying saw that Qi Zhuang Gong was confused, so he said to him: "Zhou Li stipulates that the deceased can only be mourned in the mourning hall. The prince's actions were disrespectful. ”

Qi Zhuang Gong said: "The widow knows that the widow will go to the funeral hall of Doctor Qi after entering the city. ”
