In November, Xie Xuan sent Guangling Prime Minister Liu Laozhi's commander, 5,000 elite soldiers, to go to Luojian. Before they reached ten miles, Liang Cheng blocked the stream. Wait for it.
The prisoner went straight across the water, attacked and defeated it, and beheaded Wang Yong, the prefect of Yiyang. people. Wang Xian, the governor of Yangzhou in Qin, and others collected all their weapons and military strength.
So Xie Shi and other armies advanced by land and water. King Jian of Qin and Duke Yangping went to Shouyang City to watch.
Seeing that the Jin troops were well-formed and the vegetation on Bagong Mountain, they all thought they were Jin soldiers. Gu said to Rong, "This is a formidable enemy. How can we be weak?" He began to feel frightened. The Qin soldiers in Yangping forced the river to flow, and the Jin soldiers were unable to cross.
Xie Xuan sent an envoy to Yangping Gongrong and said: "The king has sent his army deep into the city and set up Chen Bishui. This is a long-term strategy, not a quick war. If Chen Xiaoque is moved, the Jin Isn't it good that the troops can cross to decide the outcome? "The generals of Qin all said: "We have many enemies, so it is better to contain them and prevent them from advancing."

They did not dare to rest day and night, and slept in the open on the grass. They suffered from hunger and cold, and even seven or eight people died. 2. The original text and translation of Shen Nong’s Taste of Hundred Herbs in classical Chinese
In ancient times, humans relied on gathering and hunting to obtain food in order to maintain life.
In order to prevent people from starving, a god named Shennong came to the world and taught humans how to sow grains and use their own labor to ensure sufficient means of living. Shennong is a loving god. He has the head and human body of an ox and is extremely powerful. He often helps poor people farm, and like an ox, he works hard to serve mankind.
Human beings learned to farm from Shennong, and with enough food, they no longer had to worry about starvation. However, many people often fall ill after eating a full meal.
Some people are ill and do not get well for a long time, and they can only survive until they die. After Shennong learned about this kind of thing, he felt very anxious. He didn't believe in witch doctors asking for divination, but he also had no way to cure the disease.
So, he discussed with many people how to cure people's diseases and free them from the troubles of the disease. He tried many methods, such as roasting with fire, watering, sun exposure, freezing, etc. Although the symptoms of some diseases could be alleviated, the effect was not ideal.
One day, Shennong came to the Jingang area of ??Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and tasted the vegetation, and found that the vegetation had various flavors such as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, etc. He gave grass with a bitter taste to a person who had a cough, and the person's cough was immediately relieved a lot; he gave grass with a sour taste to a person with a stomachache, and the person's stomach pain stopped.
It is very hard for the miracle doctor to taste the herbs. Not only does he have to climb mountains and walk to find the herbs, but his life is also in danger if he tastes the herbs. In search of medicine, Shennong was poisoned 0 times a day. Shennong was poisoned to the point of death and was in great pain.
But with his strong physical strength, he stood up and continued to taste more plants. There are so many varieties of grass and trees on the earth that they are countless. In order to speed up the tasting of grass and trees, Shen Nong used a tool called "divine whip", also called "ochre whip", which was used to whip all kinds of grass and trees. Grass and trees, after being beaten with ocher whip, they are poisonous or non-toxic, bitter or sweet, cold or hot, and various medicinal properties are naturally revealed.
Shen Nong treated human diseases based on the different properties of these plants and trees. He once used the magic whip on Chengyang Mountain and discovered many herbs with significant curative effects, such as licorice to treat coughs, rhubarb to treat constipation, yellow lotus to reduce swelling, and so on.
Therefore, later generations called Chengyang Mountain Shennongyuan, also called Medicine Mountain. Human beings suffer from many diseases while living in the world, but few of the plants and trees discovered by Shennong have curative effects. In order to cure more diseases, he kept tasting more plants and trees.
Once, when he was tasting a vine-like plant with small yellow flowers that climbed up in the cracks of the rocks, he ate the flowers and stems into his stomach. Not long after, he felt a terrible pain in his stomach, like his intestines. It felt like it was broken, and the pain was so painful that he was rolling on the ground. In the end, Shennong could not withstand it and was poisoned to death by the grass.
Although Shen Nong was poisoned to death, he used his life to discover a highly poisonous grass, which was named Duanchangcao.
