There were bloodstains on the top of the city and Rong Fen stood at the head of Zhongyang City, watching the Qi and Zhao coalition forces retreat like a tide.

He looked up again and looked into the distance and saw the retreating Qi and Zhao coalition forces, with "Tian" written on it, and the two general flags with "Pang" stood high among the Qi and Zhao coalition forces.

He sighed, turned to the deputy general Qing Qin beside him, and asked quietly: "General Qing, how many days can our army's food and supplies be supported in Zhongyang City?"

Deputy General Qing Qin also lowered his head and replied whispering: "General, there is not much food and grass left in Zhongyang City now, and it is less than two days to support our army!"

Rong Fen asked again: "Where has our reinforcements from Yan State been here now?"

"Return to the general, General Lejian has sent someone to report that he is leading reinforcements and rushing to us day and night, but it will take at least eight days to reach Zhongyang City."

Rong Qi closed his eyes, shook his head slowly, and said slowly: "It's too late, it's too late! I think of Tian Dan and Pang Nuan's two old men who knew I didn't have much food and grass, so they dared to invade our Yan State and force me to fight to the decisive battle."

After hearing this, Qing Qin hurriedly said, "General, you can't fight to the decisive battle! I look at Tian Dan and Pang Nuan, two old men, have prepared for it!"

Rong Qi opened his eyes and nodded and said, "General You, what you said! Now the elite soldiers of our Yan army are all in our army. Once our army loses, our Yan State will face an unpredictable situation. It seems that if we do not retreat, we must retreat!"

Deputy General Qing Qin said anxiously again: "General, if you retreat again, this... Zhongyang City will be lost. How can you explain this to the king? To the ministers in the court?"

Rong flicked his hand and said, "General, I will take all the responsibilities on my shoulders. You can just follow the order."

Then, he said decisively: "General Qin, he ordered the entire army to evacuate Zhongyang City tonight, build fortifications in the Hejian and Wuyuan area, and wait for the reinforcements led by General Lejian to resist Tian Dan and Pang Nuan to lead the coalition forces."

"promise."

Rongfu led 100,000 Yan troops, and since early September, faced the attack of the Qi and Zhao coalition forces of the Qi and Zhao coalition forces on the border of Zhao State. Rongfu decisively abandoned food and grass, military funds, and led a large army to retreat to Zhongyang City of Yan State. He also ambushed halfway and defeated the pursued Qi and Zhao coalition forces of the Qi and Zhao coalition forces.

However, after seeing this situation, Tian Dan and Pang Nuan judged that the Rongfu Army would definitely be ineffective. They then led more than 200,000 Qi and Zhao coalition forces to invade Yan State and force Rongfu to fight to the decisive battle. They tried to destroy the most elite Yan State army led by Rongfu.

Rong Fen led his army to retreat into Zhongyang City and held on for more than ten days. He saw through the intention of the Qi and Zhao coalition forces to fight with him. With the enemy with a large number and a small number of enemies, he did not take risky actions to fight with the enemy.

However, due to insufficient food and grass, it was impossible to defend Zhongyang City. With Rongfu insisting, the Yan army withdrew from Zhongyang City, an important town in southern Yan State, and built fortifications in Hejian and Wuyuan area, waiting for reinforcements.

On the second day after Rong Fen withdrew from Zhongyang City, Tian Dan and Pang Nuan led the Qi and Zhao coalition forces to Zhongyang City, an important town in the southern part of Yan State.

Standing on the top of Zhongyang City, Tian Dan and Pang Nuan laughed out loud after watching each other.

Pang Nuan said to Tian Dan: "This Rong frog is indeed powerful. He actually abandoned Zhongyang City and was unwilling to fight the decisive battle with my coalition forces."

Tian Dan nodded and sighed: "As far as famous, there are no vain scholars. With this honor, why should Yan State continue to be endless!"

Then, Pang Nuan asked Tian Dan: "General Tian, ​​will our coalition continue to pursue the Yan army now?"

Tian Dan thought for a while and said slowly: "General Pang, the art of war says: Don't chase the enemy if you lose. I think the reinforcements led by the Lejian of Yan Kingdom are almost reaching Hejian, and the Wuyuan area and Rongfu have joined.

If we pursue it closely, victory or defeat is probably unpredictable! Don’t forget that Qin is the enemy of your Zhao State! We have now occupied Zhongyang City, an important city in the southern part of Yan State, and we are enough to explain to your king. General Pang, do you think, right?"

After hearing this, Pang Nuan nodded and said, "General Tian, ​​what he said is the most correct. Qin is the enemy of our Zhao State, so let's stop there!"

Tian Dan smiled again, "But in this way, we must continue to weaken the power of Yan State. We can send you to various parts of Yan State to promote the name of the escape of the Yan State general Rong Fen. We can call Rong Fen the "escape general". This will make the King of Yan hate Rong Fen and no longer use him. This will be of great benefit to our Qi and Zhao countries in the future!"

After saying that, the two of them laughed again on the walls of Zhongyang City.

The reinforcements of Yan State led by Lejian arrived in Hejian, Yan State, and merged with the army of Zhao led by Rong Fen. They found that the Qi and Zhao coalition forces led by Tian Dan and Pang Nuan did not chase after them.

A few days later, Rongfu received the order from Ji Kang's grandfather, King Wucheng, and asked him to hand over the troops to Lejian and return to Jidu to report his duties. After Rongfu and Lejian handed over, he led his guards to Jidu overnight.

Before he returned to Jidu, he met his eldest son Rong Yan halfway and asked strangely: "Why are you here?"

When the eldest son Rongyan saw his father, he bowed to the ground and said to his father with a sad face: "Father, run away quickly! Now this is the form of thistle and is very unfavorable to you!"

When Rong Feng heard this, he said furiously: "You little boy, I led my army to fight for several months and led my Yan army to retreat under the attack of the Qi and Zhao coalition forces. Although I lost the Zhongyang city, I was not able to provide enough food and supplies, so I had to do it! At least the merits and demerits of this battle can be low, so how can I say unfavorable?"

When Rong Yan saw his father angry, he said anxiously: "Father, now in Jidu City, you are called "escape general" and are afraid of the enemy like a tiger.

He said that when you saw the Qi and Zhao army, you ran away. You led your army to Zhao State and could not capture the city for a long time. Later, when you saw the Qi army coming to help, you led your army to retreat and abandoned countless food, grass and supplies. When you saw the Qi and Zhao army attacking, you hurriedly retreated, and now you have lost Zhongyang City.

Now, from the people to the king of Yan, I hate you deeply, my father!"

When Rong Feng heard this, he said in a daze and asked in a trembling voice: "How can this be done? How can it be done? Who framed me? Who framed me?"

Suddenly he thought of something and cursed: "Old Tian Dan, his mother! He is used to using this villain to frame our Yan State General.

After harming General Le Yi, he also harmed General Rift, and now he is here to harm me, and he is incompatible with you."

Seeing that he was still blocking his son, he whipped it away and cursed: "Now, once you run away, I will make this rumor true. I don't believe that the king, Yaqing Sufu and others are so confused. When I go back for my father, I can justify it."

The eldest son Rong Yan, regardless of his father's whip, stepped forward to hold the reins of Rong's chariot and horse, and cried, "Father, after hearing this news at home, my mother and I rushed to Yaqing Su's mansion overnight, but we didn't even go in the door of Su's mansion!

Father, now all the ministers in the court are talking about you. The ministers who used to be friends with you are now avoiding me and my mother!"

After hearing this, Rong Qi shook his body in the car and said, "Let go, wait until I return to Jidu and meet the king and Yaqing's sorbet. I don't believe that they will be so confused?"

But what disappointed Rongfu was that after Rongfu rushed back to Jidu, he asked Ji Kang's grandfather, King Wucheng, to see Ji Kang's grandfather, but he was not summoned, but asked an officer to come out to pass the message and asked Rongfu to return home to wait for news.

Rong Fu ran to Yaqing Sufu's mansion again, and the news he received was that Yaqing Sufu went out to do business and was not in the mansion.

Rong Feng had no choice but to return to his house and wait for news.

A few days later, the palace came to the palace. Rong Fen led his army and was defeated repeatedly in battle. He lost Zhongyang City, disappointed the expectations of the King of Yan and the ministers of the Ministry of Justice, removed the position of general, and deprived him of Gaoyang. He should have been imprisoned, but he was asked to go home to serve the people in consideration of his previous achievements.

Rongfu was stunned when he heard this. Rongfu's old wife fainted after hearing this, and the whole family fell into grief and anger.

Rong Qi sighed and said to his son Rong Yan: "It's good, just have a clear conscience. Let's go back to the fief! I don't want to stay in Ji for a day."

In 265 BC, the seventh year of King Wucheng, October.
