When the news of the establishment of two counties reached Xianyang, the king of Liaocheng, it was already the beginning of October of the tenth year of King Wucheng.

Qin Wang Yingji was in the side hall of the palace, staring closely at the map hanging on the wall, staring at the area of Liaobei County and Jilin County that had just been marked in the northeast of Yan Kingdom, and did not speak for a long time.

Xiangguo Fan Sui, who was standing behind Qin Wang Yingji, also frowned, and also looked at the northeast region of Yan on the map, the names of the two counties that had just been marked.

Yingji turned around and said to Fan Sui beside him: "Xiangguo, the widow didn't expect that Kang, the son of Yan Kingdom, would actually do such an amazing thing in a few years. Yan State, which we regard as weak in national strength, is it going to rise again like the reign of King Yan Zhao? ”

After listening to King Qin's words, Fan Sui pondered for a moment and said, "King, it seems that we didn't pay much attention to this son, Ji Kang, before. I thought that it was young and was divided into barbarian lands, so it was impossible to do much of it! ”

Speaking of which, the feeling of throbbing in his heart before came back to Fan Sui's heart, and this time it was particularly strong.

Fan Sui already understood that this feeling could not be wrong. Only he knew that when he was in the Wei State, when the King of Wei and the former Wei Xiang Wei Qi wanted to be unfavorable to themselves, it was this feeling that he escaped at that time.

Looking at the northeast region of Yan Kingdom, Fan Sui said to King Yingji of Qin: "King, what you just said is not wrong at all. Our Qin State must not let Yan State produce a figure like the king of Yan Zhao.

This is definitely not a good thing for my Qin State. This son, Ji Kang, at such an age, can do such an earth-shattering event, destroy the country and set up a county, this is worth it! I, the Qin State, must not be too neglected. ”

King Qin nodded and said to Fan Sui: "Xiangguo, how much do you know about this Gongzi Kang?" ”

Fan Sui shook his head and said to Yingji: "King, according to the information collected by Weichen, I only know that this son Ji Kang has just turned ten years old this year, and he has been divided into Liaocheng Jun, and he has collected the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and I don't know anything about the rest. ”

Then, he continued to Qin Wang Yingji: "King, now this son Kang is so young, he has such a ability, and he will be able to pay it back in the future!" But we know too little about it.

At present, we can only try our best to collect information about this Gongzi Kang, and then determine it according to the severity of the information. But we must give absolute attention to this Gongzi Kang from now on! We must not sit idly by. ”

Qin Wang Yingji saw that his Xiangguo Fan Sui actually attached so much importance to this matter, and his heart became vigilant. I still don't think so, but I'm not as relaxed as before.

Walking slowly, he thought for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Come here, order Heibing Tai, send someone to Liaodi, quickly find out all the information about the prince of Yan Guo, Kang, and report to the widow." ”

In the late ninth month of the tenth year of King Wucheng, after receiving the information that Ji Kang, the prince of Yan State, had opened up territory and established two counties in Liaodi, Zhao Dan, the young king of Zhao State, like King Yingji of Qin, stood in front of the map and watched the northeast direction of Yan for a long time.

Turning around, he said to Zhao Sheng, the plain monarch who had just returned from Shangdang: "The widow didn't expect that my nephew, who had just turned ten years old, would be able to do such an amazing thing? In the past, the widow still looked down on me as a nephew.

When the first king was dying, he confessed to the widow that the national policy of my Zhao State was "first north and then south, first east and then west". The widow had consulted with the ministers beforehand, and everyone also agreed with the national policy of the first king. Now, Kang, the prince of Yan State, has risen in the northeast of Yan State, will it be detrimental to the national policy formulated by my Zhao State to attack Yan State? Pingyuan-kun, what do you think of this? ”

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, then bowed down and said to Zhao Dan: "Great King, as far as Wei Chen knows, the area around the Liao Land of Yan Kingdom is a barbarian land. Even if Yan Guo obtains it, it is like chicken ribs, and it will take at least ten years to govern. For me, Zhao Guo, the impact is not too big. ”

Zhao Wangdan thought of his sister Ji Zhao and nephew Ji Kang, and the etiquette never stopped every year. During the New Year, they sent people to bring them many gifts such as refined salt and cloth, and his brows furrowed slightly, and he remembered his mother Zhao Weihou's explanation before her death.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "No matter what, my nephew is still relatively kind to me. In this way, its prestige in Yan Kingdom will definitely increase significantly, and at present, it is not a good thing for me Zhao Kingdom! ”

Plains Jun Zhao Sheng also nodded and said, "Great King Shengming! Now that I, Zhao Guogang, have taken over the 17 counties of Shangdang, and I am confronting the Qin army in Shangdang, my Zhao State's main opponent at present is Qin State rather than Yan State.

Gongzi Kang, who is friendly to my Zhao Kingdom, the higher his prestige in Yan Kingdom, the more he can relieve Yan Guo's pressure on my Zhao Kingdom. As the king said, the greater the influence of Gongzi Ji Kang, the more good it will be for my Zhao Kingdom. ”

Zhao Dan, the young king of Zhao Kingdom, laughed and said, "Since this is the case, I will send someone to Liaodi to congratulate my nephew!" ”

Linzi, the capital of Qi State, the royal palace.

In today's Qi country, although Qi Wangjian has grown up, state affairs are still decided by the queen. Under the deliberate promotion of Qin Xiang Fan Sui and under the auspices of the queen, Qin and Qi hit it off, and the national policy of Qi was actually to "do things Qin" as the national strategy.

In order to show that she is filial and virtuous, the queen reuses her own family and rejects dissent. It was in this situation that Tian Dan, the general who made great contributions to the Qi State and regained the country, was exchanged from the State of Qi to the State of Zhao by the State of Zhao with dozens of cities.

In this regard, Qi Wangjian didn't realize what the consequences of his mother's actions would be! actually didn't have any opinions, but listened to the opinions of the queen mother and queen in every way.

Holding the silk silk in his hand from the thistle capital of Yan Kingdom, after the regent queen looked at it, he couldn't help but say to his son Qi Wang Jian beside him: "This son Kang of Yan Kingdom can make such great achievements in the northeast of Yan Kingdom, it's really a pity!" ”

After hearing the words of the queen mother, Qi Wang Jian chuckled and said, "Queen mother, I don't know what this prince Kang wants these wild places to do?" Even if you give me Qi for nothing, I will not want it. ”

The queen was stunned, shook her head, and said to Wang Jian: "Wang'er! You can't underestimate this son-in-law! You have to remember that during the period of King Yan Zhao, the Taizu of the Yan Kingdom, almost destroyed my Qi Kingdom, and it has always been the great enemy of my Qi Kingdom! ”

Qi Wang Tian Jian nodded and said to the queen: "Queen mother, this son knows. ”

The queen didn't pay much attention to this matter afterwards, and said to Wang Jian: "Since the Xunzi of the Xuegong has left, the Xuegong has been a little chaotic. I think it's better to send a letter and let Xunzi, who traveled in the Qin Kingdom, come back and continue to serve as a sacrificial wine. ”

Qi Wangjian said disapprovingly to the queen: "What the queen mother said is very true, then send a letter to Xunzi to return to the school palace and continue to serve as a sacrificial bar." ”

The news of Ji Kang's establishment of the two counties was also known to the "Four Great Princes" in this era.

Wei State, Xinling Junfu.

At this time, Wei Wuji, who was less than thirty years old, was the best years of his life. He is even more ambitious, recruiting diners, raising thousands of soldiers, and becoming a force in his own right.

looked carefully at the message from Yan Guo in the study, and said to his doorman Hou Huan: "This son Ji Kang, although he is young, has great ambitions. Those who can do such a thing and shame us and others. ”

Hou Huan nodded and said: "Opening up the territory is respectable and admirable!" ”

……

Chu Guochun Shenjun Mansion.

Huang Xie, who had just signed an agreement with Qin State this year and ceded the state tomb to Qin State, was very depressed in his heart.

After seeing the news of Ji Kangli's two counties from Yan Kingdom, he said to the people beside him: "This Yan Guogong Kang is ten years old, and he can open up territory for the country. ”

After that, I sighed with emotion.

……

At the same time, Li Si and Han Fei, who accompanied their teacher Xunzi on his travels in the Qin State, also learned the news that Ji Kang had destroyed the national county in Liaodi. Xunzi's disciples gathered next to the teacher Xunzi and expressed their opinions on this matter.

"Since ancient times, the land of the Central Plains has been the place where all countries have mapped. The successive kings of the Qin State have been from west to east, and for hundreds of years, they have slowly plotted against the eastern countries to have the strength of the Qin State today.

However, Kang, the son of Yan State, was in the northeastern border of the Central Plains, opening up territory, which was really unexpected. What's more, now is the world of great contention, and the land it occupies is a wild land, and it will take time to govern, so it cannot be called its right path. ”

As Xunzi's eldest disciple, Li Si said conclusively.

Xunzi looked at Han Fei who was standing next to him, still silent as usual. But his brows furrowed slightly, according to Xunzi's previous experience, this clearly disagreed with Li Si's point of view.

Han Fei is stupid, and he generally doesn't like to talk much.

smiled and said to Han Fei: "Han Fei, what do you think about this matter?" Let's talk about it. ”

Han Fei stood up and bowed to Xunzi and said, "Senior brother...... Senior brother Li Si, in other words...... Reasonable, but biased. Now...... Today's son, Ji Kang, can ...... can be at such a young age, for the Central Plains...... Breaking new ground is a feat.

Other...... Don't forget, now Zou Zi and Lu Zi...... The two teachers are also assisting the son Ji Kang in Liaodi. From what it does, you can ...... You can know his mind. In addition, from Zou Zi and Lu Zi two...... The two teachers, as can be seen from the letter, see that Liaodi ...... Liaodi is rich, not ...... It's not what my brother said, but ...... It's about having a lot to offer. ”

After saying that, Han Fei stood aside with a blushing face and didn't speak again.

Xunzi nodded and said to the disciples: "In any case, Gongzi Ji Kang's move, as Han Fei said, is a model for all countries in my Central Plains, which is really a feat. It seems that Zou Yan and Brother Lu went to Liaodi to assist this Gongzi Kang, it seems that they are not doing nothing!

Zou Zi and Zhonglian, two old friends, wrote to Zhiweishi, and often said that Liaodi was prosperous. As the saying goes: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing", when we are free, we can also go to Liaodi to travel to see if Liaodi is as the two old friends said, prosperous so. ”

Just when the countries were greatly shaken by Ji Kang's destruction of the national county. As the mother country of the son Ji Kang, Yan Guo was even more shocked. Ji Du, like the people of other Yanguo counties, fell into a carnival.

Since Gongzi Ji Kang arrived in Liaodi, there has been more and more good news for people from all over Yan Kingdom. At present, the counties and counties of Yan State, the salt, cloth and many other materials in the homes of officials and ordinary people have been freed from dependence on other countries. Yes! Now that my Yan country has also begun to produce these things, and the quality is better and the price is more reasonable, what do we Yan country want the extortion of other countries from you?

Especially this year, when defeating the Three Kingdoms and Liao, he actually carried out a strategic counteroffensive and destroyed the national county. This kind of joy can only be heard during the reign of King Yanzhao of Ji Kang's Taizu! And now, Yan Guo needs such good news too much.

In the palace where King Wucheng of Jigong lived, when King Wucheng and Ji Kang's father were discussing together, they heard the news at the same time, and then both of them were shocked and speechless. Ji Kang's father and the prince of Yan Kingdom were even more excited. What a surprise, there is none! What a surprise, is there any!

King Wu Cheng's hands trembled, and he read the letter sent by Ji Kang again, frowning slightly. Then he handed the letter to the prince next to him, slowly walked to the map in front of the wall, looked at Liaodi, and was silent for a long time, not knowing what to think again.

Seeing this, Ji Kang's father carefully read the letter sent by Ji Kang twice, knowing what his father, King Wu Cheng, was worried about. After thinking about it, he said to King Wucheng: "Father, look at it from now on." Kang'er was also helpless, because the king of Goguryeo bluntly said that he wanted to surrender to Liao, if he didn't agree to this condition, Kang'er was afraid of the war again!

What's more, Kang'er has already brought the jade seal of Goguryeo, as well as the mountains and rivers and other atlases, back to Jidu and dedicated them to his father. This is Kang'er's duty, so the father does not need to worry about it. ”

King Wu Cheng turned his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, now I'm old and sick, and I'm afraid there are not many days." In the future, how will you make a prince? Now Gongzixi has grown up, and Gongzikang is becoming more and more prestigious. If it is not handled well, the widow is afraid that there will be a rebellion in the sand dunes of the Zhao Kingdom in my Yan Kingdom! ”

Ji Kang's father was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing this, King Wucheng sighed again and said: "If you don't make your son happy, then the Qin State will definitely be furious; Ruoli Gongzi is happy, and Kang'er is now full-fledged, and I am afraid that he will not be willing to be under others. In this way, my Yan country is in a dilemma! ”

Ji Kang's father thought for a while, and said to King Wu Cheng: "Father, this is a matter for the future, and thinking about it now will only increase your troubles." And my father is still in good health, so he doesn't have to worry about it. I plan to go to Liaodi when I have time. Nowadays, the people of Jidu often say that the Liao land is rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and I also want to see how the Liao land of my Yan country has become? ”

And Xiangguo Gongsun Cao, who was seriously ill at the moment, finally lay on the sickbed.

After knowing the news of Ji Kangli's two counties, a long-lost smile appeared on his face. said slowly to the eldest son Gongsun Zhi, who came to visit his condition: "Zhi'er, in the future, you have to assist your son Ji Kang more and obey his orders."

If I go, if there is something in the future, you have to discuss it with your son Ji Kang. If my grandson's family wants to be safe in the future, they must unconditionally support Gongzi Ji Kang. Remember, remember! ”

Gongsun Zhi wept: "Father, son remembers." ”

Gongsun Cao nodded, closed his eyes on the sickbed, and muttered, "Son, I'm afraid the old minister won't see it...... I can't see the day when my Yan Kingdom rises! ”

After hearing the news, Yan Guoyaqing sat in his study, his brows furrowed, and he didn't come out for a long time.

(More than 4,000 words, combining the two changes into one change.) The pig's feet have developed to a new stage in Liaodi, and I will sort out my thoughts and meet you tomorrow. ）
