On March 14, Shamen Island (now the county seat of Changdao County, Shandong), the camp of the Chinese army.

The harbor on Salmon Island was densely packed with warships.

On the dock, there are many soldiers and guards.

At this time, a ship, led by the guide ship ahead, leaned against the shore of the harbor.

Yan Guo's generals Lejian and Bo Wang, and major generals Shi Kang, Li Min, Zhang Tian and others were all waiting on the shore.

Han Fei walked out of the ship, stepped on the dock, and saluted the generals:

"Youlao generals, here to greet you."

Lejian, Bo Wang and other generals stepped forward and bowed together to return the salute.

Changguo Junle said to Han Fei: "Lord Han represents the king and comes to deliver the edict. I'm here to greet you, as I should. ”

Han Fei was assigned by Ji Kang and rushed to the port of Yongnu County, Hejian County (now the port of Tianjin) on 9 March.

He came to Shamen Island on a special clipper boat and issued an edict for the Eastern Route Army to attack the Qi State.

In fact, the generals such as Le Jian and Bo Wang should not be waiting at the dock, but everyone is a smart person!

During the inspection in Wuyang County, Ji Kang, the current Yan Wang, praised Han Fei's sentence: "I have to be like Qi Huan Gong to manage Zhong, and Jin Wen Gong to be Hu Yan." The words have already spread throughout the officialdom of Yan State.

Major General Shi Kang, who grew up with Yanwang Ji Kang, once said to Lejian, Bo Wang and other generals:

"Since he was a child, the king has rarely praised a young official like this. As long as this Han Fei works conscientiously for my king and does not make fundamental mistakes. In the future, the position of the cabinet minister, that can't run! ”

The study of the relationship between the Chinese nation has a long history since ancient times!

Having a good relationship with the future cabinet minister is a basic quality that any Yan State official must have.

Han Fei, surrounded by Lejian, Bo Wang and other generals, came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as he walked into the big tent, Han Fei turned around, took out the edict of Yan Wang Ji Kang from his arms, and shouted loudly:

"Lejian, Bo Wang and others will receive the edict."

Lejian, Bo Wang, Shi Kang, Li Min, Zhang Tian and many other admirals knelt down on one knee together and clasped their fists with both hands:

"The last will listen to the edict."

Han Fei glanced at Le Jian, Bo Wang and other generals, and slowly unfolded the edict:

“…… The king's edict: Ling Lejian, Bo Wang and other generals led the Fourth Army of the Army and the First and Second Armies of the Navy on the East Route to launch an attack on Qiguo on March 16. ”

"The army of the Eastern Route must occupy Jimo City (now the area of Dazhumao Village, Guxian Town, Pingdu City) until Langya City (now Langya Town, Huangdao District, Qingdao City, Shandong), sweep away all resistance forces on the Jimo Peninsula, and cut off the rear road of the Qi army in Linzi (now Linzi District, Zibo City, Shandong);"

"The Seventh Army and even the Ninth Army led by Shi Yong, as well as the reserve armies of the four counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Liaonan, and Hancheng were all controlled by Lejian and Bowang; All military affairs in the front line are discussed by the generals for self-determination, and there is no need to report them. Whoever resists the conquest of our army will be annihilated, and shall not be tolerated......"

"Obey the king's edict." And all the people in the tent will answer together.

After Han Fei finished reading the edict, he found that Bo Wang, Shi Kang and other generals were still very calm.

Only the lord will Changguo Jun Lejian, his face full of tears.

Han Fei understood as soon as he thought about it, because of his father Le Yi's relationship, Le Jian's grievances with Qi Guo were too deep.

At that time, Le Jian's father, Le Yi, the general of Yan State, raised the army of Yan State to attack Qi State.

All the cities in the territory of Qi were defeated, but only the two cities of Jimo and Jucheng (now Juxian, Shandong) remained.

At that time, the general Le Yi surrendered to the people of Qi and made Yan Guo's occupation of Qi completely firm. did not let the Yan army storm these two cities at that time. It's just that the two cities of Jimo and Jucheng are besieged but not attacked.

During the five or six years when the Yan army besieged Jimo and Jucheng, the Yan army even allowed the people of these two cities to go out of the city to farm, harvest grain, and chop firewood.

It was the existence of these two cities of Qi that made the war between Yan and Qi unresolved for a long time.

In Ji Kang's view, the disagreement between Le Yi and his great-grandfather Yan Hui Wang, Tian Dan's anti-intrigue was just a fuse and an inducement. In fact, the real reason is that the Yan State has been fighting for too long!

From the 29th year of King Yan Zhao (284 BC) to the first year of King Yan Hui (278 BC), the battle of Yan Guo against Qi lasted for seven years.

Do you think about how much it costs to spend hundreds of thousands of troops on a country's war for so long in this era?

It can be said that the current Central Plains countries, the national strength of any country, cannot support it for so long!

The battle between Qin and Zhao in Changping lasted for three years. Not to mention the Zhao State, even the Qin State, which is so powerful with its national strength, in the end, it is also very unbearable.

After Ji Kang saw the story of this battle at that time, he just said to Shi Dang: "Pedantic! ”

Can you attack it and rule it again?

In his previous life, as the head of a township, Ji Kang deeply understood: "Whether it is managing a team or a place, you must know how to "combine grace and power". Not only must there be "grace", but also "might". Otherwise, you will not be able to govern the team or the place well. ”

Blindly having a "benevolent" heart without "deterrence" is unacceptable.

The reason why Ji Kang's great-grandfather, King Yan Hui, wanted to replace Le Yi was not without this consideration.

The war has dragged on for too long!

In fact, when Ji Kang was in Liaodi, Le Yi also regretted this point in his letter to Ji Kang.

In his letter, he said to Ji Kang:

“…… I thought that in a year, the two cities of Qi would be returned. I know that it has dragged on for seven years, and I regret it......"

Until the end, let the general of Qi Guo Tian Dan completely overturn, and Yan Guo's vitality has been greatly damaged since then.

Although Le Yi fled to Zhao State, Yan Guo was still very kind.

did not kill Le Yi's relatives because of this, but let Le Yi's son Le Jian inherit the title of Chang Guojun.

Although the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom did not say much to the music room, this kind of complaint has always existed for so many years.

This made Le Jian very uncomfortable in the Yan Kingdom court.

For many nights, Le Jian couldn't sleep all night because of this, and he always wanted to wash away the shame that Qi Guo brought to his father and son.

Especially his father Le Yi, Jimo City, which had not been captured for seven years.

However, for so many years, the Yan State has not taken any more military action against the Qi State.

Now, the time to wash away the shame of his father and son has finally arrived.

This time, the new king finally gave himself such a chance and gave himself full trust.

The rest is all up to Le Jian himself and the soldiers under his command.

Changguo Jun Lejian respectfully took the edict of Yanwang Jikang from Han Fei with both hands.

To Han Feidao, the special envoy of the edict:

"Lord Han, please go back and tell the king, your subordinates and the soldiers of the East Road will not disappoint our king's expectations of us. This time, Jimo City will be taken and all resistance from the Qi people on the peninsula will be completely swept away. If there is any more resistance to our army, destroy it. ”

Han Fei nodded to Le Jian and said to Le Jian:

"General Le, when the king came to Weichen, he asked Weichen to tell the general, and the king said: "You tell General Lejian that the widow can trust the general." The reason why the general was asked to go to Xing'an County to lead the army and not stay in Jidu was to let the general become familiar with our army's current new combat mode as soon as possible, rather than to belittle it. "My king says, You will understand what he thinks."

At that time, Ji Kang asked Lejian to go to Liao to lead the troops, and there were speculations in the court.

There are also many courtiers, all of whom think that Ji Kang has not used the music room so much.

It's Lema himself, why didn't he have such thoughts at that time!

But now the truth is clear!

This time, Lejian was appointed as the commander of the Eastern Route Army, commanding hundreds of thousands of Yan troops, and deciding everything.

This has said everything, the previous rumors and even the speculation in Lejian's own heart are self-defeating.

Lejian "poofed" and knelt on the ground.

Facing the direction of Jidu, he cried loudly and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, this time, the ministers will do their best to wash away the shame of my father and son, and live up to my king's expectations for Lejian......"

At the same time, the army of Wang Shi and Wuyang Jingzhi South Road in Hejian County ushered in the general Rong Yin.

Rong Yan also conveyed the edict of Yan Wang Wang Ji Kang to attack Qi to Wang Shi, Wu Yangjing and other generals.

“…… The king ordered Wang Shi, Wu Yangjing and other generals to lead the third, fourth, and tenth armies of our South Road Army to attack on March 16; In the previous battle, Wang Shi, Wu Yangjing and the generals discussed and decided......"

Wang Shi, Wu Yangjing and other generals said in unison: "Obey the king's edict." ”

Rong Yan gave the edict to Wang Shi and said: "General Wang, I will personally sit in Hejian and wait for your backup. ”

Wang Shi replied to Rong Yan: "The last general understands that the last general and the soldiers under his command will not disappoint the expectations of my king and the general. ”

The 100,000 elite army of Yanguo South Road after receiving Ji Kang's edict.

They were pulled out of their respective hidden, blockaded barracks.

Like red waves, they rushed towards the border of the Qi country.
