Chapter 33 The Extraordinary Seven Years of King Wucheng

The seventh year of King Wucheng is destined to be regarded as an extraordinary year by later historians.

In January, Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang built a tooth in Xiangping Kaifu, and worshiped Xin as the prime minister of Liaodi.

In February, Tian Fazhang, the nineteen-year-old king of Qixiang, died at the end of the month, and the fifteen-year-old Tian Jian, the king of Qi, ascended the throne and became regent of the Empress Dowager of Qi.

In March, Zhao Sheng, the king of the Zhao Plain, went to Xianyang as a guest at the invitation of King Yingji of Qin. Wei Qi, the former Wei Xiang, who was asked by Qin Wang Yingji to hand over to Zhao Sheng, the Pingyuan Jun, as a guest, because he had insulted Qin Xiang Fan Sui, was rejected by Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was thus detained in the state of Qin.

In April, Yingji, the king of Qin, sent a letter to the king of Zhao, asking for Wei Qi in exchange for Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains. In order to save Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, the king of Zhao was ready to hand over Wei Qi to the state of Qin, but was resolutely opposed by Zhao Xiangyuqing. In the end, Wei Qi, the former Wei minister, was forced to commit suicide, and Zhao Xiangyuqing saw this and prepared to resign and go to Wei, but was persuaded by Shangqing Lin Xiangru to stay in Zhao for the time being. Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was able to return to China.

Ji Kang, the king of Liaocheng in Yanguo, took water to make salt in Liaodong County.

In May, Qin Yingji sent the general Bai Qi to attack Korea and occupy the two cities of Shaoqu and Gaoping.

In June, the Xiongnu raised troops and led 100,000 wolf horsemen to invade Zhao State, and fought a fierce battle with Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, in Zhao State. At the same time, Qin and Yan attacked Zhao at the same time. The Qin State sent the general Bai Qi to lead the army from forcing Korea to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, from the south, and King Wucheng of Yan State ignored the opposition of the ministers Jiangqu and Lejian, and sent the general Rong Yi to lead the Yan army to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, from the north.

Due to the intelligence received by the Zhao State in advance, the Qin army and the Yan army were strongly resisted by the Zhao army. The generals of Zhao State, Lian Po and Pang Xuan, led their armies respectively and confronted the Qin generals Bai Qi and the Yan generals Rong Xuan.

At the same time, Empress Zhao Wei of Zhao State urgently asked for help from the queen of Qi State. However, the queen of Qi asked to let Zhao Weihou's youngest son, Chang'anjun, go to Qi as a hostage, so she was willing to send troops, but Zhao Weihou was unwilling. However, under the persuasion of the minister of Zhao State, Touch Long, he finally let Chang'an Jun come to Qi as a hostage, and ceded the three cities to Qi.

In July, the state of Qi sent the general Anping Juntian Dan to lead an army to aid the state of Zhao.

After Tian Dan, the general of Qi State, arrived in Zhao State, he first led the Qi army to join up with Lian Po, a great power of Zhao State, and then fought a fierce battle with Bai Qi, a general of Qin State, on the border of Zhao State.

In August, the combined forces of Qi and Zhao, led by Tian Dan and Lian Po, defeated the Qin army, forcing the Qin army to retreat back to Hangu.

Tian Dan, the general of Qi, turned around and led the Qi army to join Pang Xuan, the general of Zhao.

In September, the Qi-Zhao coalition army, under the leadership of Tian Dan, defeated the Yan army led by the Yan general Rong Yi on the border of the Zhao State. Subsequently, the combined forces of Qi and Zhao launched a counterattack against Yan and captured Zhongyang, an important town in the south of Yan State. More than 100,000 people of Yan were forcibly displaced, and so far, Yan has lost its troops and gained nothing.

At the same time, General Zhao broke the 100,000 wolf cavalry led by the Xiongnu Shan Yu in Daijun, and pursued thousands of miles, which shocked the world. Since then, the Xiongnu have not dared to go south for decades.

In the second half of the year, the eighth son of the Empress Dowager of Qin Xuan, who made a major contribution to the strength of the Qin State and was famous all over the world, died.

In October, in retaliation for South Korea's borrowing of the Qin army, the Qi-Zhao coalition army, led by Tian Dan, captured the northeastern town of Zhuren in Korea.

In the second half of the year, after the Zhao court discussed, the regent Zhao Weihou, the empress dowager of the Zhao State, ordered that the three big cities of Gaotang, Linglu, and Pingyuan and the fifty-seven cities to which they belonged were exchanged for Tian Dan, the general of Qi State. In this way, Tian Dan, who contributed to the restoration of the country of Qi, was ruthlessly abandoned by the State of Qi. After Tian Dan came to Zhao State, he was named the capital Pingjun by Zhao Weihou.

On October 12 of the reign of King Yan Wucheng, Anshan Villa, Xinchang County, Liaodong County.

Entering Liaodong in October, the weather has already felt cool. In the courtyard where Ji Kang and his mother lived in Anshan Villa, and in the restaurant in the outer courtyard, Ji Kang was using leek egg dumplings to entertain the three people who came to come, Ji Xin, Ji Mao, and Su Qing.

People in the Central Plains love to talk about things at the dinner table, and Ji Kang is no exception.

On a round dining table, there was a large plate of dumplings in the middle, which was eaten up in a short time, and Ji Kang had only eaten three at this time.

Ji Kang was very dissatisfied, and shouted loudly: "You guys are too good to eat, so I will be eaten poor by you." ”

Everyone laughed and said: "I came here today to eat big food, and if I don't eat for nothing, I won't eat for nothing." Childe's reputation for making money now, we people in Liaodi know it. ”

Ji Kang showed a surprised expression, patted his body with his little hand and said, "Where is the money, there is not a single knife on the body." ”

The crowd laughed again.

Ju Xin said on the side: "Childe, the conclusion of the court's war against Zhao Guo this time has come out. The general Rong Worm took all the responsibility on his shoulders. was dismissed from the post of general, and even Gao Yangjun's title was deprived, and he took the whole family back to the fiefdom. ”

At this time, the kitchen brought up a large pot of dumplings again, with the dumplings just now at the bottom, and everyone ate more Sven this time.

Ji Kang ate a few more dumplings this time, and felt that his stomach had settled down.

After taking a sip of the noodle soup in the bowl, he said to the people, "Isn't that what we expected?" Someone must bear the responsibility for the failure of the war against Zhao, and this is a political responsibility. Rong Yi does not bear the responsibility of defeat, loss of city and land, who will carry it? Do you want my grandfather to carry it? I don't know what these people in the court think? Can't you see that the current Qin State is using us!

This year's Yan, Qin, and Xiongnu tripartite attack Zhao, if there is no plan of Qin Wang Yingji and Qin Xiang Fan Sui behind, I will see hell. I think this is just the beginning of Fan Sui's policy of long-distance friendship and close attack, if you don't believe it, just watch, Qin State will immediately send people to Qi State to make friends with Qi State. Once Qin and Qi are on good terms, it is very likely that Qin will attack South Korea again next year.

And now, South Korea is against Zhao because of the passage to attack Zhao for the Qin army, and the Qin army will attack South Korea next year, and the Zhao army, which usually sends troops to aid South Korea, will inevitably stand by this time. ”

Then he sighed, and his little face was melancholy.

After thinking about it, he said slowly to the three of them, Ji Xin, Ji Mao and Su Qing: "The Qin State has already taken the step of unifying the world, and the Zhao State is the obstacle for them to unify the world, but unfortunately all the countries in the world have not realized this, especially our Yan State."

Now everything that Qin Wang Yingji and Qin Xiang Fan Sui are doing is to constantly weaken the strength of Zhao State, including our Yan State and other countries, and clear the way for the unification of the world.

Now the Qin State has great ambitions! Under the strategy of Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui to make friends from afar and attack closely, I am sure that after the Qin State sweeps away Korea and opens up the road to the Central Plains in the east, Qin and Zhao will inevitably break out in a decisive battle that has not been seen since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. ”

I thought of the Changping War initiated by Qin and Zhao in the history of my previous life, which was talked about by people, the long duration and tragic situation.

couldn't help but sigh to the three of them again:

"And no one in our Yan Kingdom court has realized this yet, and now they are still acting as an accomplice of the Qin State, constantly rubbing against the Zhao State, and constantly consuming the strength of our Yan State and the Zhao State.

This is not because I am the nephew of King Zhao and say these words, but the actual situation. Let's think about it, if the strength of Yan and Zhao is constantly consumed in these frictions, once Zhao is defeated in the decisive battle, it will be destroyed by Qin. Who is Qin's next target? It must be our Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, we must have a clear understanding and work harder, especially in our Liaodi, we must be strong, not strong! ”

After listening to the three of them, the three of them, who were sitting at the table, were all heavy. didn't speak, they were all quietly thinking about Ji Kang's point just now.

Especially Jun Xiangju Xin, looking at Ji Kang, his eyes lit up.

What is it? This is the point of view of strategists. And in this era, this is the vision and strategy of the emperor!

I still underestimate Childe Ji Kang's ability, Childe ...... Childe is so terrifying,

Seeing Ji Xin looking at his gaze, Ji Kang shuddered. Drama! Don't do that! I can't bear it if you look at me like that!
