Chapter 53: Su Dai Comes to Liao (I)
In the twelfth year of King Wucheng, he crossed the river of blood in Changping, the mountains of skulls, and the hills of bones.
Later historians believe that this was an important year that went down in history. They all believe that since then, the trend of the world moving towards reunification has been irreversible.
And Liaodi ushered in the thirteenth year of King Wucheng in an atmosphere full of war preparations.
On the eighteenth day of the first month, the Prince's Mansion of Xiangping City, the Secretary's Pavilion.
Ji Kang, who has just finished the Spring Festival, has already spent his eighth Spring Festival in Liaodi.
Huang Yong, the director of the intelligence bureau, is reporting to Ji Kangyu at the moment, "Childe, the news from Handan that Mr. Su Dai has returned to Handan. When contacting him, Su Dai Xiansheng informed Gongzi that he would ask Zhao Wangdan to resign and come to my Liaodi in a few days."
"In addition, the prince asked the merchant LΓΌ Buwei and Qin Gongzi Yiren to pay attention, and LΓΌ Buwei gave birth to a son a few days ago. This is information, please look at it. β
Ji Kang took the information handed over by Huang Yong, read it carefully, and said to Huang Yong, "Good job, order my intelligence officer in Handan, continue to stare at this businessman Lu Buwei and Gongzi Yiren, there must be no mistake." β
After a pause, he then said to Huang Yong, "Inform the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask him to send someone to meet Mr. Su Dai at the Yanzhao border, Mr. Su Dai is very old, and he must make arrangements along the way to ensure the safety of Mr. Su Dai coming to Liao." β
Huang Yong clenched his fists and bowed, "No." β
After Huang Yong left, Ji Kang picked up the information in his hand, read it carefully, then stood up and said to himself, "Is Qin Shi Huang born?" It seems that the world is really about to be unified. β
Then, he walked slowly to the window, pushed open the window, and a cool air rushed to his face, which made Ji Kang's mind wake up suddenly.
Looking at the thick snow on the roof of the palace in the distance, Ji Kang muttered to himself, "Just look at this great country, who is in charge of the ups and downs!" β
And Su Dai, who was mentioned by Huang Yong in the intelligence, is asking Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan to resign this time and is preparing to go to Liaodi.
Zhao Wangdan looked at Su Dai, who had gray hair and beard, and said to him, "Mr. Su Dai, you sent an envoy to the Qin State and negotiated peace, causing Wu Anjun Bai to lead the army back to Qin, which is a great credit to my Zhao State." The widow is allowing Mr. to be reused, why do you resign? β
Su Dai bowed down to King Zhao and said, "King, I don't hide it, I was a Yanchen in the next place, and I came to Zhao Country due to various opportunities. King Meng did not give up, and he was kind and gracious. Although Wechen is old, Wechen doesn't miss Yanguo for a day. Now Weichen has the permission of the king of Liaocheng, and Weichen is allowed to go to Liaodi. Weichen is like an arrow, please ask the king for permission. β
After that, he bowed down to King Zhao and saluted him for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhao Wangdan sighed, and also knew that although this master of Hezong had been in Zhao for many years, he had always prided himself on being Yan Chen, just like Prince Wangjun Le Yi, and both of them were in Zhao Guoxin, Yan!
Le Yi, the former general of Yan, could never be put back into Yan Kingdom. But this master of co-vertical, Su Dai, has just made a great contribution to Zhao Guoguo. asked to return to Yan with this, but it seemed that he couldn't keep it, so he had to be approved.
Fortunately, Su Dai went to his nephew Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, instead of returning to the Yan Kingdom. Since this is the case, Su Dai wants to go, so let him go! This is also good, and it has also fulfilled the righteousness of himself and Su Dai, the monarch and the minister for many years.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wangdan nodded, and said to Su Dai, "Mr. Su Dai, Liaocheng Jun is the nephew of this king, and he has always been good friends with me Zhao Guo. Since it was Liaochengjun's request, the widow no longer forced Mr. Zhao to stay. But Mr. has made great contributions to Zhao Guoguo, and he can't help but appreciate it! β
Speaking of this, he shouted, "Come on, give Mr. Su Dai a hundred gold." β
Su Dai saw that King Zhao had promised him to resign, and bowed down to King Zhao and said, "Thank you, King." β
Coming out of the palace of King Zhao, Su Dai went to meet Prince Le Yi again and bid farewell.
After Su Dai made it clear to Le Yi, Le Yi looked at Su Dai, his eyes were red, and he said to Su Dai for a long time, "Mr. Su Dai, you go to Liaodi this time, and wait for the old man to say hello to Gongzi Kang." β
Speaking of this, Le Yi remembered the scene when he was in Yan Kingdom, when he got along with King Yan Zhao and his ministers. remembered that when King Yan Zhao died, he was still leading the army on the front line, but he couldn't return to the country to see his beloved king.
I thought of the book silk that King Yan Zhao sent to him, and what expectations he had for himself! But no matter what the situation was at the time, after all, he had failed to live up to King Yan Zhao's expectations and did not fulfill the will of King Yan Zhao during his lifetime.
Thinking of this, Le Yi couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, choked up and said to Su Dai, "Just say it...... Let's just say that the old man is ashamed of King Zhaoxian, and he is also ashamed...... is also ashamed of the childe. The old man is now ...... I can't go to work for Childe now, so please forgive Childe. β
Seeing this, Su Dai's eyes also moistened, and he said to Le Yi, "Old general, you don't have to be like this. Stay in the next place and go to Liaodi, and after meeting the son, he will report to the son. I thought that Gongzi would understand the difficulties of the old general and would not blame the old general. β
Le Yi shook his head, looked out of the door, and said slowly, "Lord Sudai, don't hide it, although the old man is old, the old man ...... The old man really wants to return to Yan Kingdom! It's really still ...... I really still want to serve my Yan country! β
"But a good writer does not have to be a good finish, and a good beginning does not have to end well; The gentleman of the ancients will never make a bad voice; Loyal ministers go to the country, and their names are unclean. Since the old man ...... The old man has left Yan Kingdom...... Besides, King Zhao will not let the old man go back. β
Speaking of this, Le Yi fell silent. When Su Dai heard this, he didn't know what to say.
After half a ring, Le Yi turned his head to Su Dai and said, "Lord Su Dai, you went to Liaodi this time, and after meeting Gongzi, he said to Gongzi, although the old man can't go to Liaodi in person, the old man has instructed me to let him work for Gongzi in Yan Kingdom." Let me have fun and work for my son instead of the old man. β
Then, he picked up a book bound with white paper next to him and handed it to Su Daidao, "The son is benevolent and righteous, I miss the old man, and every month I let people send this so-called paper to the old man." This is the art of war summarized in the life of the old man, just trouble Lord Su Dai, and hand it over to the son! This can be regarded as a little effort that the old man has done for his son. β
Su Dai bowed down and said to Le Yi, "The old general Gao Yi will definitely tell the son in the future." β
After that, he took the manuscript in Le Yi's hand with both hands and carefully put it in his arms.
Then he bowed to Le Yi and choked up, "Old general, I'm leaving!" β
Le Yi stood up, bowed deeply to Su Dai, and said politely, "Lord Su Dai, take care all the way!" β
The north wind is blowing, and the rain and snow are falling.
At this time, there was still goose feather snow in Handan, but this could not stop Su Dai from going to Liaodi.
After Su Dai said goodbye to Le Yi, there was no longer delay. Sitting in a van car, with a few entourages, braved heavy snow and severe cold, and came to Liaodi.
When entering the border under the jurisdiction of the Yan Kingdom, the retinue said to Su Dai, "My lord, we have entered the Yan Kingdom." β
Su Dai listened, let the car stop, lifted the thick curtain of the van, and slowly walked out of the van. Looking at the beautiful country covered by heavy snow in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
This is the homeland that I always miss, and the Yan country that I want to return to in my dreams!
At this time, several Yan State officials ran in the distance and shouted from afar, "But Mr. Su Dai? β
Su Dai was stunned, looked at the few Yan State officials who had already run in front of him, and replied, "It's the old man, who are you waiting for?" β
These officials, hearing Su Dai's words, bowed down to Su Dai together. The official who took the lead said, "We are Liaodi officials, and we are specially waiting for Mr. here on the order of the prince and marquis." We have prepared a car for my husband, it is more comfortable, please change the car. β
The van car prepared by Liaodi for the Su Dynasty was a specially made vehicle. The axles are fitted with bearings, and the frame has shock-absorbing steel plates. The interior decoration configuration is also more exquisite. For safety reasons, a thin layer of steel plates is installed around the van and the roof of the car in the interlayer of the car wall, and the bronze weapons and arrows of this era cannot break the car wall at all.
Su Dai was extremely moved in his heart, and said to these officials, "So, trouble everyone!" β
The Liaodi official who took the lead said, "Sir, don't be so polite! In the next year, the prince once said to the next that for you, sir, no matter how much you arrange. β
When Su Dai heard this, his eyes moistened.
