October 28, Jidu, the east gate of the outer city.

A large number of palace guards lined up on both sides of the gallop road from five miles outside the east gate.

Today is the day when Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang returns to Jidu, and Jidu knows that this time Liaocheng Jun is about to be canonized as the crown prince.

The original deputy general of Rong Wei, Qing Qin, the general of Yan State, was also ordered by the king to go to greet Ji Kang together with the courtiers of Yan State such as Wudu Jun Ji Xi, Yan Xiang Su Belly, Yaqing Jiangqu, and Changguo Jun Lejian to show their grandeur.

Seeing such a scene, a cronie beside Qing Qin said "tsk" twice and said to Qing Qin:

"General, greet Liaochengjun, actually use such a scene!"

Qing Qin looked left and right, and scolded this cronie: "Shut up, don't ask more." This is the king's command, and we will obey it. Didn't you see that almost all the ministers of the court came! ”

Seeing such a scene, Qing Qin actually sighed in his heart.

Ji Kang was named the king of Liaocheng and went to Liaodi. Qing Qin thought that this Gongzi Kang was far away from the center of Yan Kingdom and had nothing to do with the throne. Then, it will inevitably be lost in the midst of the crowd.

But I never expected that this Gongzi Kang, who was not valued at all before, actually turned around gorgeously after arriving in Liaodi, when no one expected it.

At a young age, he not only destroyed the national county in Liaodi, but also opened up thousands of miles of territory, and was called one of the "Four Great Princes" by the world.

Even more this year, he let his former boss Rong Oyster, lead an army of 100,000, rush to the party, and fight three battles with the Qin army, all of which were great victories, thus shocking the world.

Now the prestige of Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang can be said to be in full swing in Yan Kingdom.

was prepared to be the prince of Yan by Yan Wang Ji Yun, which also met the expectations of the people of Yan Kingdom.

Yan Xiangsu was in his early fifties, with a thin body, looking at the gallop road to the east and looking ahead.

At the end of October, it is early winter, and the water of the Yan River (a tributary of the Haihe River) is still flowing slowly, passing through the entire Jidu.

The fertile fields on both sides of the river are moistened by its irrigation.

The Yan River at this time was not the small stream in Ji Kang's previous life. Because there is no problem of soil erosion, the Yan River is a large river about two or three miles wide that can carry boats on the river.

The thistle capital of Yan State, and even the southern place of Dukang (now Yi County, Hebei, Gaobeidian, Gu'an, etc.), since the founding of Yan State, are the anointing land of Yan State, and have always been the political, economic, military, and even cultural center of Yan State.

Of course, because of what Ji Kang did in the Northeast, the current Liaodi has also become another anointed place in Yan Kingdom.

Jidu and Dukang are all plains. It is bounded by the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain in the north, the Taihang Mountains in the west, the Bohai Sea in the east, and Qi and Zhao in the south. The plain terrain is flat, there are many rivers and lakes, and the four seasons are distinct. Before Ji Kang arrived in Liaodi, it was the main production area of Yan Kingdom.

Changguo Junle said, "Look at the hour, it's almost here." ”

Yaqing Jiangqu, with a smile on his face, replied: "It's okay, it's worth waiting a little longer." ”

As soon as Jiang Qu's words fell, he saw dust flying on the horizon of the galloping road in the distance.

After a few more moments, I saw many red flags embroidered with phoenix birds, covering the sky and the sun.

Stretch eastward on the gallop so that there is no end in sight. A large number of sergeants wearing red military robes and bright armor, lined up in neat columns, appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the army led by Ji Kang with such momentum, the courtiers of Yan State all sighed in their hearts.

The army was getting closer and closer, and everyone saw dozens of scouts in front, riding war horses, shuttling back and forth in front to report.

The generals beside the general Qing Qin, including Qing Qin, carefully looked at the Liaodi repulsors and the equipment of the army behind them, and then looked at the palace guards standing on both sides of the road, and looked down at their own armor, their eyes were already spewing fire.

Everyone felt very aggrieved, we are the generals of Yan Kingdom! The equipment is not as good as that of ordinary sergeants in Liaodi. This...... Is there any reason for this? This...... Who is this going to tell you about your grievances?

However, Liaochengjun is about to become the crown prince. He has to become his subordinate, he can't ignore it! Thinking of this, Qing Qin and other generals felt much calmer in their hearts.

Ji Kang came to Jidu this time, and rarely took a car along the way. Together with General Wang Shi, and even Shi Kang, Tian Guang and other soldiers of the guard battalion, they all rode horses and marched all the way west from Xiangping to Jidu.

"Newspaper. Enlighten the prince, and in front of him is the courtiers who came to greet the prince. ”

A scout was on his horse, clasping his fists and reporting to Ji Kang.

"Oh, got it. Stand down! ”

"No.

Ji Kang waved his hand and told the scouts who came to report to retreat.

After Mr. Lu Zhonglian rode to his side, he said to Lu Zhonglian and General Wang Shi: "Mr. Lu and General Wang, you two will go with me to meet the courtiers." ”

"No."

Mr. Lu Zhonglian also stepped down from the van, and more than ten people, including Wang Shi, Shi Kang, and Tian Guang, followed behind Ji Kang and rode forward.

Ji Kang and the others came to Yan Xiangsu and other ministers, and threw off their horses.

Ji Kang stepped forward, faced the courtiers of Yan State, hugged his fists and said: "Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, I have seen Su Xiang and all the adults. ”

After that, he bowed deeply and saluted Yan Xiangsu and other courtiers.

The current Ji Kang is not the crown prince yet, and it is natural to salute Xiangguo Su belly and other ministers. If Ji Kang is made the crown prince, and the ministers see Ji Kang, they will in turn give Ji Kang a big gift.

The courtiers of the Yan Kingdom, including Su Belly, all turned their bodies slightly to the side, and did not dare to accept Ji Kang's full courtesy.

All the ministers said in unison: "The prince is polite, I don't dare to accept such a big gift." ”

They took a step back together and bowed to Ji Kang in return.

Yan Xiangsu took a closer look at the future son-in-law in front of him. But when I saw Ji Kang, he was wearing a tight-fitting crown robe after modification, and a crimson cloak was tied behind him. Because of the long journey, although he looked a little tired, between his eyebrows, he was also heroic.

Ji Kang also carefully observed his "old man", and found that after not seeing him for a year, Su Belly was actually more energetic.

In the historical account of Ji Kang's previous life, Su Belly, the Yan Xiang, would lead an army of 600,000 Yan to attack Zhao after two or three years, as recorded in history:

In the first year of Yan Wangxi, the chestnut belly took 100 gold as Zhao Wangshou.

On the third day of wine, he also reported: "Zhao Wang's strong people are all dead and peaceful, and they are lonely and not strong, but they can be cut down." ”

The ministers all thought it was okay, and the monarch of Duchang was different.

Wang Shu asked, Lejian refuted, Wang was furious, and raised the second army, with 2,000 cars, chestnut belly generals and attacked Shan, and Qing Qin attacked the dynasty.

Chestnut belly to Shan, Wen Qing Qin has been defeated, scolded: "The erector is not enough and the plan!" The bad king, Le Shi also. ”

That night, Zhao Jianglian attacked and retreated in defeat.

The chestnut belly collected the remnants of the soldiers and the three who fought with Lian Po, and the soldiers recovered.

The belly and the generals said: "The opportunity for success or failure, in one fell swoop, those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

There will be Yan people who will descend to Zhao and sue the chestnut belly.

Lian Po knew the future of the chestnut belly, and took the light soldiers as the front, and the army was behind.

The chestnut belly was defeated by the light soldiers, and the pursuit was very urgent, and the ambush army was in chaos.

Su belly fought to the death and did not retreat, and was killed by the rebels.

No matter what his position is, Ji Kang still respects Su Belly, the "martyr" of the Yan Kingdom in his previous life.

After greeting each other, as Yan Xiang, Su Belly stepped forward to express his condolences to Ji Kang and his party on behalf of King Yan and even the ministers of the court.

Then, turning around, he shouted, "Play music." ”

He turned around again, bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "Liaocheng Jun, the army has its own people in the military camp outside the city. Now please Liaocheng Jun get in the car and go into the city to meet the king. ”

Ji Kang did not refuse, and explained a few words to Lu Zhonglian and Wang Shi, and accompanied by the courtiers of Yan State, he came to Jidu by car.

After entering the thistle capital, Ji Kang and the others attracted the attention of the people of the thistle, and the people stood on both sides of the street and talked endlessly.

"Who is this greeting? Such a big battle! ”

"I don't know! According to my cousin in the court, this time the king of Liaocheng came to Beijing and was ready to be made the prince of my Yan Kingdom. ”

"Ahh It turned out that Liaochengjun had returned. ”

"Oops! It's Liaochengjun who is back. Liaocheng Jun Wansheng! ”

"Liaocheng Jun Wansheng!"

……

Suddenly, the people on both sides of the street began to cheer, and the cry of "Wan Sheng" resounded in the sky above Jidu.

Yan Xiangsu, who was sitting in the van, heard the cheers of the people of Jidu, and saw that Ji Kang had such a high reputation among the people, and remembered all the previous actions, and couldn't help but sigh.

The cheers of the people also attracted more people's attention to Ji Kang and his party. Whether it was a restaurant or a house facing the street, everyone poked their heads out and stared at Ji Kang's convoy walking on the street.

The envoys of the Central Plains also knew that Ji Kang had returned to Jidu today.

After hearing the cheers of the people in Jidu City, in a restaurant in Jidu, Cai Ze, the envoy of the Qin State, shook his head.

said to the cronies next to him: "Liaochengjun's prestige is so high in Yan Kingdom, Fan Xiang actually sent me to persuade Yan Wang to let Liaochengjun go to Xianyang as a hostage, how is this possible?" I think Fan Xiang is also old and confused now. ”

This cronie nodded and said to Cai Ze: "My lord, the villain has heard that this Liaocheng Jun is extremely unfriendly to my Qin State. The villain is afraid that if the adult is in the court of Yan Kingdom and says that he will let Liaochengjun go to Xianyang as a hostage, the adult may not be able to go back. ”

Cai Ze smiled and said, "Since I can't say it, I won't say it later." Cai's head is still useful! I can't listen to Fan Ju'er's words and throw it away in my homeland for no reason. ”

"To tell the truth, I didn't expect Cai's homeland to be like this now! In ten years, it has developed into the main opponent of my Qin State. Since the matter cannot be violated, we don't have to stay in the Yan State anymore, and we will rush back to the Qin State now. ”

Cai Ze, a native of Yan Guo Gangcheng (now Wanquan, Hebei, Zhangjiakou), so Yan is the homeland.

Speaking of this, Cai Ze smiled coldly: "Xiangguo Fan Ju, make this stupid move." Cai thought that he was not worthy of being above the phase of the Qin State, and this phase should be held by Cai when he returned to the Qin State! ”

After that, Cai Ze picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all.
