In the tenth year of King Wucheng, on the 27th day of the second lunar month, Xiangping City, Intelligence Bureau.

The official positions of the personnel in the Liaodi Intelligence Bureau are appointed according to the official positions of military generals. Early in the morning, Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau, stood up immediately after looking at the information sent from Donghu, Goguryeo, and Jiguo.

The herald under his command said: "Notify the person in charge of the intelligence work of the three kingdoms of Donghu, Goguryeo, and Kei, and strengthen the collection of intelligence on these three countries, especially the movement of the army." It is necessary to keep abreast of the dynamics of these three places at all times, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"No."

After the herald left, Huang Yong collected some information and hurriedly rushed to the Junhou Mansion.

Prince's Mansion, Secretarial Pavilion.

Ji Kang took the information of the Qin State sent by Huang Yong, the director of the Intelligence Bureau, and said to Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Ji Mao, who had just come in and sat down: "Gentlemen, Uncle Ji, take a look at these pieces of information. ”

After everyone read the information, he said to everyone: "It seems that the Qin State will still send troops to Korea this year to attack Yewang and completely cut off the Shangdang region of South Korea." ”

Zou Yan frowned: "Childe." In the year before last, Bai Qi led the army to conquer Shaoqu and Gaoping, conquered Shencheng the year before last, and conquered Nanyang last year, and this year he will capture Yewang. In this way, the territory of Korea has basically been cut off by Bai Qi, and it seems that the Qin State is not small. ”

Ju Xin was beside him, his brows furrowed, and he said slowly: "It seems that all the military operations of the Qin army in the past few years have been carried out around this strategic purpose. Now the next move of the Qin army, the strategic purpose is very clear, it must be the Shangdang region of South Korea. As long as the party falls into the hands of the Qin State again, the destruction of Korea is imminent! ”

Ji Kang's little face collapsed tightly, he closed his eyes, and said in his heart: "Damn, is the Battle of Changping finally going to begin?" ”

Then he opened his eyes and said to Huang Yong: "Introduce the information of Donghu to all your adults!" ”

Huang Yong stood up and said to everyone: "Son, my lords, according to the report of the intelligence officers who went to Donghu, just in the winter of last year, Donghu's old Shan Yu had died of illness, and his eldest son Kublai had become the new Shan Yu.

Our intelligence officers reported that this Kublai often said that his greatest wish in this life was to regain the lost Liaodi. Cut off the heads of the men of my Yan Kingdom and let the women of the Yan Kingdom groan under him.

I'm afraid that this year there is an intention to invade my territory. ”

Lu Zhonglian, who was sitting next to him, patted the coffee table next to him, stood up and said angrily: "Arrogance! It's just arrogant! ”

And the old manager Ji Mao said to Ji Kang: "Childe, judging from the movements of Donghu, it is very likely that the country will invade our Liao this year, and we must guard against it!" ”

Ji Kang nodded and said, "Let's tell everyone about the information of Goguryeo and the Kingdom of Ji!" ”

Huang Yong nodded and continued to everyone: "Son, my lords, the intelligence officers we sent to Goguryeo also reported that Zhu Cong, the king of Goguryeo, knew that my Liao was rich and had the intention of attacking. According to the analysis of the General Staff of our Intelligence Bureau, it is believed that if the country sees Donghu invading our Liaodi, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it.

In addition, there are signs that the army of the Mini country is moving to our border, but at the moment the number is small and the movement is unknown, and the intelligence bureau is making further investigations. ”

Ji Kang stood up, slowly walked down the attic steps, looked at the bright spring sunshine outside, and thought for a while.

Then he turned around and said to Ji Xin: "Drama Xiang, order the counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi counties to organize the people and comprehensively strengthen the city walls of the county seat and villages. In particular, the county towns and villages bordering these three places should strengthen the construction of city walls, and we must turn all villages into strong fortresses.

ordered the Anshan Industrial Zone to suspend the manufacture of agricultural equipment and step up the manufacture of military equipment; He ordered the 30 counties in Liaodi to seize the time to organize the militia to start a large-scale military training activity during the interval between farming.

Huang Yong ordered our spies to actively spy on Donghu, Goguryeo, and the Ji Kingdom bordering our Liaodi. Well, "it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married", people are coming, and we can't help it. Let's all go down and prepare! ”

"No." They all stood up and answered.

After everyone left, Ji Kang stood in front of the door of the secretary's pavilion and did not move for a long time.

In the spring of King Wucheng's tenth year, the world was bright. But the dark clouds of war hung over the heads of the people of Liaodi.

At the beginning of March, Rong Yi accompanied Ji Kanggang back from the military camp outside the city and returned to Xiangping on the way back to the city.

Rong Yan, who was sitting in the car, said to Ji Kang: "Childe, these 10,000 cavalry have all been trained, and the remaining 50,000 troops in my Liao are also well-equipped. Childe, a certain general can completely guarantee you that with these 10,000 cavalry, you can sweep through Donghu and the surrounding Zhou countries.

We are so well equipped that now even the important parts of the horses are protected with vests. And the current bronze weapons can't penetrate the sergeants and horses, and if a certain general is a general of the opposing army, he will feel collapsed. ”

Ji Kang's little face turned into a flower: "General, this is the so-called "dimensionality reduction" strike. ”

Rong Yan looked confused: "Childe, what dimensionality reduction strike?" ……”

Ji Kang laughed: "General, you can understand that it is a blow from a high-level civilization to a low-level civilization. ”

Rong Oyster: "......"

At the beginning of April, it was still farming time, on the border between Donghu and Liaodong. A horse dragged a man and was running quickly towards the border of Liaodong, followed by several Donghu cavalry.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot him quickly, don't let him escape to Yandi." A captain from Donghu shouted.

Several Donghu sergeants drew their bows and arrows and fired arrows at the men on horses in front of them.

The man riding a horse in front of him, with an arrow in his back, climbed on his horse and continued to run forward. Several Donghu sergeants behind him, under the leadership of the captain, continued to chase fiercely.

At this time, I saw that the person who was shot by the arrow had already run to the side of the tributary of the Liao River where the two places meet.

This Donghu lieutenant shouted: "Chase after him, he can't run away." ”

Suddenly, the man riding a horse in front of him jumped off his horse and plunged into the river. The Donghu sergeants chased them to the river, only to see a pool of blood, so they could only shoot a few more arrows into the river, and there was no reaction for a long time.

The captain of Donghu sighed and said stupidly: "Let's go!" But he was a good man, he was wounded, and he could not survive in the water. ”

As soon as Sergeant Donghu left, the head of the man who had just jumped into the river appeared on the water on the other side of the river. Looking at Sergeant Donghu, who had already walked away, he spat out a blood stain in his mouth.

Then he floated down the river to the opposite bank, climbed ashore, and staggered forward.

April 12, Xiangping City, Junhou Mansion, Military Pavilion.

Participants Ji Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yan, Ji Mao, Huang Yong.

Ji Kang handed the secret letter in his hand to everyone present: "Take a look! This is a secret letter sent back from Donghu by our spy officers with their lives. I didn't expect that! Donghu, Goguryeo, and Ji actually joined forces and prepared to invade our Liaodi. ”

He turned to Huang Yong and said, "Huang Yong, has the life of the person who sent the letter back saved?" ”

Huang Yong's tone was a little heavy, and he replied, "Childe, it's been rescued." However, the two people who were with him all sacrificed their lives for the country. At present, the troops of Donghu, Goguryeo, and Ji are gathering on the border of Liaodi, and it is estimated that the assembly will be completed by mid-May. ”

Ji Kang nodded: "Those who are rescued, heavy reward." The families of the two people who sacrificed their lives for the country should be appeased, and their names should be engraved in the Martyrs' Shrine and sacrificed by the countrymen for generations. ”

After reading the secret letter, everyone's faces were relatively heavy.

Ji Kang smiled: "I originally prepared a table of meals, but now there are three tables of guests. Let's all share our opinions. ”

Rong Yan looked at everyone, stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and said: "Childe, my lords, according to the intelligence bureau information, the three kingdoms are now preparing to use 100,000 soldiers and horses to invade our Liaodi. The direction of Donghu's attack was Wangping, the direction of Goguryeo's attack was Wuci, and the direction of the Kei kingdom's attack was Fanhan. ”

Then he thought about it again and said: "Son, my lords, my personal opinion is that our Liaodi army should defend on two sides and concentrate on attacking one of its routes. The three parties that invaded our Liao land were like the word "Pin", and I advocated fighting the Goguryeo army in the middle first, and after defeating the army of Goguryeo, then fighting Donghu, and finally the Kei State could retreat without a fight. ”

Lu Zhonglian nodded and said: "Childe, General Rong's idea is desirable, and I also advocate concentrating most of my main forces in Liaodi to attack one of them, and then move to the other two roads."

Zou Yan said: "Son, although the Donghu army and horses are strong, they can't attack the city; The combat effectiveness of the horses of the Kei Kingdom is the weakest of the three, and I can do my best to defend it; Only the Goguryeo army horses are strong and have the skill to siege the city, and the mastermind this time is also the Goguryeo king Zhu Cong, so he must be the first to defeat him. ”

Ji Xin said slowly: "Childe, I agree with General Rong's opinion. The two counties of Liaodi have a population of more than 1.7 million. Since the introduction of the compulsory military service system the year before last, the regular army has expanded to 60,000 and more than 300,000 reservists. According to the provisions of China's compulsory military service system, the number of militia to be mobilized in the first batch of our Liao region can reach 100,000, and they are well-equipped and well-trained, which is sufficient for a war.

Ji Mao said: "Childe, my Liaodi should inform Jidu of this situation as soon as possible, and let them send troops to support." ”

Lu Zhonglian stood up, looked at the map on the wall and said, "Childe, my lords, from intelligence analysis, there is a possibility that a war will break out in mid-May. It's now to tell Jidu as fast as possible, back and forth, and the time is not enough.

In addition, Li Mu, the current general of Zhao State, has already Chen Bingyan's Wusui and Fangcheng borders; Pang Xuan, Chen Bing, Yan in the southern part of the river border area. ”

Then he shook his head and said, "The military pressure on Jidu is also very great!" I'm afraid that Yan Guo will not be able to spare troops to support my Liao Land at present. ”

Ji Kang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, knowing that the time had come to test himself. Keep telling yourself that you have to stay calm. Don't take a wrong step, otherwise, it will be extremely dangerous for yourself, for Liaodi, and even for Yan Guo.

Slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone: "This war mainly depends on ourselves, just tell Ji Du, now Yan Guo can't send many soldiers and horses to support us."

Ladies and gentlemen, this war is also a test of our achievements over the past three years. According to the compulsory military service system, all counties, townships, li, and villages were ordered to ring the bell of war readiness, summon the first batch of 100,000 reserve militia to participate in the war, and arrive in Xiangping before 3 May in 20 days;

In addition to maintaining good local law and order, the second batch of more than 200,000 reserve militiamen should also actively train and be ready to go into battle. Uncle Ji, at this time, we must ensure the stability of my Liaodi, and you will be responsible for this work;

Huang Yong, who made every effort to collect intelligence on Donghu and other three countries; General Rong Worm, immediately make a battle plan; Mr. Zou Yan and Mr. Lu Zhonglian, this time all the teachers and students of our Xiangping College should also participate, and you are responsible for doing a good job in propaganda work.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know anything about military affairs, and the war depends on you. ”

Everyone stood up together and said in unison: "Please rest assured." ”

Less than an hour later, dozens of heralds ran out of the military camp outside the city, riding war horses and galloping, conveying the battle orders of the Junhou Mansion to the counties of the two counties of Liaodi.

With the arrival of the herald, all counties, townships, li, and villages rang the bells of war preparedness one after another.
