Chapter 59: The War of Nations (2)
The information that the five kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han Zhongyuan will ally attack Yan in Luoyi is known to the whole world.
At the end of March, the thistle capital Xishan camp.
More than 30,000 soldiers stood in the school grounds, lined up neatly, and waited solemnly.
Ji Kang was fully armored and rode to the main stage of the review at the time of last year's military parade.
The courtiers of the Yan State had received the exact news of the Five Kingdoms Cutting Yan, and everyone wore armor and bowed down to greet their king on the review stand. Everyone knows that in the more than 700 years of the Yan Kingdom, the most difficult moment has come.
When Ji Kang stood on the review stand, more than 30,000 soldiers in the school yard shouted in unison:
"Ten thousand years of my king! Years! Ten thousand years! ”
"Ten thousand years of Yan Kingdom! Years! Ten thousand years! ”
Ji Kang raised his right hand and slowly greeted the soldiers in the school field, and the school field suddenly fell silent.
"All the soldiers of my Yan country, the good sons of my Yan country, and all the people of my Yan country. Widows know, you all know the information that the five countries are preparing to attack my Yan country, and the biggest crisis in my Yan country for hundreds of years has come. ”
"Since the beginning of my Yan country, whenever there is a major event, the man will worship and sacrifice to the country. Even if the bones become mounds and the rivers overflow with blood, they must not humiliate the land of the country and lose the territory of the country. ”
"Scholar, put on the liver and gall; will, parasitic blade; Handsome, full of blood; The king is a sharp blade glow. Today, my Yan country, regardless of men, women, old and young, regardless of dignity and humility, will work together to protect my Yan country. ”
"Soldiers, sons, and the people of the widows, the widows swear in the name of the king of Yan: In the face of the invasion of the kingdoms against me, the widows will never be reluctant, and for one day in power, they will defend the territory and open up the territory, unify China, and sweep away the enemies who invade our Yan country."
"This battle has begun, that is, a battle to the death. All the soldiers and civilians of our Yan country will kill the enemy bravely, if this battle fails, our Yan country will inevitably perish. The widow must let the enemies of my Yan country know, and those who commit my big Yan will be punished even if they are far away. ”
Shouting this, Ji Kang pulled out his saber with his right hand and raised it high:
"I, Yan Guo, will win."
All the soldiers in the entire school yard, the officials and the people shouted together with their own king:
"My Yan Kingdom will win! Win! Win! ”
On the second day, the "Yan Guo Xun Bao" published an editorial: "Those who offend my Yan country will be punished even if they are far away."
The article published all of Ji Kang's conversations in the Xishan camp, calling on all the soldiers and civilians of Yan to unite around the Yan court to jointly smash the plot of the five countries to attack Yan.
In the vast territory of Yan State, all counties, counties, townships, li, and villages rang the bell of war readiness in turn.
On the official road to the front of the Yan Kingdom, columns and groups of Yan troops and reserve troops were all marching.
April 1, Ji Palace, in the Military Aircraft Pavilion.
Ji Kang and Yan Guo's drama Xin and other ministers were discussing Yan Guo's face of the imminent war.
Because of the two people in the cabinet, Gao Yang Jun Rong and Changguo Jun Le have all gone to the front.
At this time, the military meeting presided over in the military aircraft cabinet was presided over by the cabinet minister, who was familiar with the war.
In the combat preparation room on the right side of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, next to the map hanging on the north wall, Prime Minister Su was introducing the current strength of the Five Kingdoms Company to Ji Kang and others.
"Your Majesty, ministers of the cabinet, this time the five countries have committed a crime against my Yan country, and the message is already very clear. The armies of Qin, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han were divided into three routes: northern, central, and southern. ”
"The Middle Road Army is the most elite and the most numerous of the Five Nations Army. Qin sent 150,000 troops, Wei 100,000, and Korea 50,000, totaling 300,000 troops, with Zhao Yi, the general of the Qin army, as the main general. ”
"The army of the North Road is led by Lian Po, the commander of the coalition army, and led 100,000 Zhao troops to invade our Yan country. The army of the South Road is the 100,000 army of the Chu State, and the main soldier is the general Jingyang of the Chu State. ”
Almost at the same time, in a palace in the Luoyi Palace, the kings of Qin, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han were also discussing the war against Yan.
Zhao Yi, the general of the Qin State, next to a map in the hall.
He also explained to the kings of the countries present the war plan of the five-nation alliance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our army has attacked Yan this time, with an army of 500,000, divided into three routes: northern, central, and southern. The armies of Qin, Wei, and Han in the middle of the road, totaling 300,000, attacked 100,000 Yan troops in Weidi Diqiu City. ”
"The north road is the 100,000 army led by the commander Lian Po, which is the most critical, and the specific direction of attack is personally controlled by the commander Lian Po. But the current direction of the attack is to prepare to attack the land of Jixi Gaotang in the Yan Kingdom. ”
"And my army on the south road is led by Jing Yang, the general of the Chu State, to attack in the direction of Langya County of the Yan State, so as to contain the various armies of the Yan State in Qidi, so that they cannot reinforce the Yan army in other directions."
The baton in Su Belly's hand tapped twice on the map, Diqiu City in Weidi and Langya County in Qidi:
"The direction of the enemy's attack is also very clear, and the 300,000 army led by Zhao Yi in the middle of the road is in the direction of Weidi Diqiu. The 100,000 Chu army led by Jingyang on the South Road is the direction of Langya County. ”
Then Su belly pointed the baton at the southern Great Wall of Zhao on the map.
"On the contrary, the 100,000 Zhao troops led by Lian Po on the North Road gathered on the Great Wall in the south of Zhao State, and the direction of the attack was very unclear."
Ge Xiangju Xin thought about it in his heart, and said to Su Xiang: "Su Xiang, this important army of the five countries, the northern, central, and southern armies of my Yan country, a total of 500,000 troops, how many troops has our army dispatched so far?" ”
Su belly used the baton in his hand, clicked the map, and said to everyone:
"According to the strength of the five countries, according to the edict of my king, my Yan country will not only have to resist the invasion of our Yan country by the five countries in Qidi and other counties this time, but also prevent the Zhao country from coveting our Yan country on behalf of the county, as well as the Donghu and Xiongnu in the north."
"Therefore, the First Army led by Rong Yan of Shanggu County in the north, the Second Army of Zuozong of Yuyang County, the Eighth Army led by Liu Sheng of Zhongyang County, and the Ninth Army of Xing'an County, including all the reserve troops of these four counties, have all stayed in the local area and strengthened their vigilance."
"In Qidi and other counties, in the face of the army of the five countries that invaded our Yan country, our Yan country used all the army and navy except for the above three counties, and the reserve force of our Yan country was only one division of reserve troops from each county."
"Your Majesty, ministers of the cabinet, the strength of our Yan State to deal with the five countries is: seven armies of the army, three armies of the navy, six armies of the reserve, and all the reserves of the three counties of Langya, Jibei and Jixi, totaling more than 600,000 troops."
Hearing Su Bei say this, Ji Kang and several cabinet ministers all showed smiles on their faces.
And in the main hall of the Luoyi Palace, Zhao Yi, the general of the Qin State, pointed to the Emperor Qiu City on the wall, and said to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, because before, the general of the Yan Kingdom, Le Jian, occupied Diqiu City by luck, which had a certain impact on the middle army of our coalition army, but it did not change the overall combat situation of our coalition army."
"On the contrary, because Diqiu City is located in the hinterland of our Central Plains, its north, west, and south sides are all surrounded by our coalition forces. For this place, if there is no accident, our coalition army will fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Yan army here. ”
The cabinet minister said to everyone: "Your Majesty, the ministers of the cabinet, I didn't expect that the current strength of my Yan Kingdom is so strong without fighting the whole country. ”
The old man of Su Dai also smiled and said to everyone: "As the king said, the five countries are guilty of my Yan country, and they have the final say; However, the end of the war is about to start, how long do you want to fight? It's up to me, Yan Guo, to decide. ”
