The capital of the Yan Kingdom is the capital of Jidu, and the palace is in the palace.

It was late at night, and there was silence in the palace.

Outside the palace, only the palace guards on duty patrol the palace and guard the surroundings.

In the Affinity Hall, the lights are also lit, and it is very bright.

A gust of night wind blew into the temple, and the lights flickered.

A figure projected on the inner wall of the hall also shook.

Ji Kang sat in the tent and put down a document that he had reviewed in his hand.

From the many documents on the desk, he took out a book and looked at it carefully.

Although Yan Guo realized the cabinet system at this time, Ji Kang delegated power to several cabinet ministers to deal with many things in Yan State.

But for the major resolutions of the court and the military affairs in the front, Ji Kang still personally controlled it.

In this world of great controversy, Ji Kang does not dare and cannot relax at all.

The main force of the Yan army led by Lejian has been stationed in Pingcheng for nearly two months. With the surrender of Li Muzhi's army, the war in the entire northern part of the Central Plains has been completely quelled.

According to the arrangement of the Yan State court, Li Muzhi's army has begun to be reorganized. The old and young soldiers in the Zhao army have begun to be gradually withdrawn, and the 150,000 army can only be left with two armies and more than 60,000 people.

The law system of separation of military and political affairs in Yan State is no exception for the two counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong. The officials of the Yan State Ministry have begun to be stationed in various parts of Yanmen and Yunzhong counties in batches, and have begun to effectively and substantially manage and rule these two counties.

And Li Mu and the deputy general Sima Shang, accompanied by Liao Shan, the minister of rites, came to Jidu to meet Ji Kang.

Most of the documents on the desk were submitted from the front formation, as well as the three counties of Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong, which had just been ruled by the Yan State. These places that are newly incorporated into the territory of Yan Kingdom naturally have a lot of things.

The document in Ji Kang's hand was the account book sent by the Yan army in the front.

From the army of Yan to the current placement of Li Muzhi's army, the food, materials and other expenses, the records on this document are very clear.

Ji Kang looked at the numbers on the paperwork, and he was constantly calculating in his heart.

The cost of attacking Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong this time, whether it is food, materials, etc., or the cost, is indeed very expensive, and it can be said to be astronomical. However, the national strength of Yan State can still withstand it.

Especially in the three counties of northern Xinjiang that had just been incorporated into the Yan Kingdom, there was also a shortage of food, and there was no reserve at all. Before the autumn harvest, the food consumption of the army and the people in these places also depended on the continuous delivery of the Yan State from the country.

In the face of such a situation, the pressure on Yan Guo increased a lot in vain.

The Liao region of Yan and the Jidu region, including the current Qi land, produced a lot of grain and reserves. But if you want to convey the past, it's not a simple matter.

Let's just say that the roads of these three counties are not like the official roads in Yan Country, which extend in all directions, but are rugged and difficult to travel. For example, in Yunzhong County, when grain is transported in the past, the consumption on the road will reach half of the grain transported, or even more.

Ji Kang now finally knows why the time span of Qin Shi Huang's destruction of Zhao was as high as eight years in his previous life.

In addition to the killing of the Qin army, which completely aroused the resistance of the soldiers and civilians of the Zhao State. One of the main reasons is that the Qin army's food and logistics supplements also seriously restrict the army in the front.

Don't say anything else, Zhao Guo is poor! If you attack Zhao State, you don't want to destroy other countries at all, and the grain can be properly replenished locally, all of which must be transported from the rear of the country.

The Yan State is more tired than the Qin State, and you not only have to bear the food consumption of your own army. What's more, Ji Kang can't do anything, in the face of the people who occupy the territory, he will let them go and watch them starve to death.

To occupy a land, it is necessary to govern a land, and to enrich a land.

This is the basic national policy set by Ji Kang when he was preparing for the unification of the Central Plains by Yan State, and it is also the insistence in Ji Kang's heart.

If you are just for the sake of Wang Tu's hegemony, regardless of the life and death of the people, what is the point of coming to this era by yourself!

"It seems that the army can't go south for the time being. Let's deal with the affairs of these three counties first, and then let's talk about it. Ji Kang closed the paperwork in his hand and rubbed his temples, his face a little tired.

The three counties of Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong have just been returned to the Yan Kingdom, and the people's hearts have not yet been completely subdued.

At this time, the army went south to Jinyang, and once there was wind and grass in the rear, Yan Guo was a little passive.

Besides, Jinyang County is the former capital of Zhao State, and the ruling foundation of Zhao State is much stronger than that of Yanmen and other three counties. And the army led by Le Cheng, the general of Jinyang Zhaoguo, also has tens of thousands, and it still has a certain strength.

"The Liao land of my Yan State has been unified for many years, and a few years ago, it annexed Qi and Weiguo, and now it has Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong in the bag. So far, our Yan country has completely formed the general trend of unifying the Central Plains. ”

"The current Zhao State has become the bag of my Yan country, and after the Zhao country is occupied by my Yan army, the Central Plains will be Yan soil, and my Yan country will be completely connected, and the Central Plains countries can no longer compete with my Yan country."

"Jinyang City can't run away anyway, so after the autumn harvest, it's not too late to attack it. At present, the top priority is to restore the people's livelihood and economy in Daijun, Yunzhong, and Yanmen as soon as possible, and win over the people's support in the three counties. ”

Thinking of this, Ji Kang ordered Wang Cong, the waiter waiting beside him:

"Early tomorrow morning, send someone to tell the Intelligence Bureau and ask them to pay more attention to the movements of the Zhao army in Jinyang. In addition, the Wang family in Jinyang City has already sent someone to Jidu, so that the Intelligence Bureau can contact it, what do people say? ”

With that, Ji Kang yawned, stood up, and prepared to go back to the palace to rest.

On a spring night, the night sky is beautiful, especially in this day and age.

a crescent moon, radiating a bright light; The starry sky is dotted with stars.

Li Mu and Sima Shang, who came to Jidu to meet Ji Kang, were still not resting in Wuyang City in the lower capital at this time.

Li Mu stood in the courtyard where he lived, looking up at the sky above him.

Although it was almost midnight (23 o'clock in the middle of the night to 1 o'clock in the evening), the street lights outside the lichen hotel were very bright. At this hour, I can still faintly hear the noise of the crowd on the street.

"General, the Wuyang City of Yan Country is really good, the last general didn't expect the people of Yan Country to live like this?" Deputy General Sima Shang, the "big mouth", couldn't help but sigh again behind Li Mu.

Sima Shang's words were not Li Mu's thoughts at this time.

Since he stepped into Wuyang County in Yan Country accompanied by Liao Shan, what he saw and heard along the way completely opened his eyes to Li Mu and other people from the border counties.

Especially after stepping into Wuyang City, Li Mu and others were even more dizzying.

As the largest city in the world in this era and the most important town in the south of Yan Kingdom, Wuyang City has been built more prosperous in the past few years. It is no exaggeration to say that Wuyang City has become a well-deserved "business card" of Yan Kingdom.

When entering the city, the afterglow of the twilight sunset was faintly sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls of Wuyang City.

On the streets and alleys, the abrupt cornices, the high fluttering shop signs, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the indifferent and comfortable smiles of the people all reflect the pride of the people of Yanguo.

Since childhood, Li Mu and others have never seen such a grand scene!

Not to mention the two counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong, even Handan, the capital of Zhao State, is far inferior to Wuyang City!

Seeing the people of Yanguo living like this, and then thinking of the lives of the people in Yanmen and Yunzhong counties, Li Mu's heart at that time couldn't help but feel a sour feeling, and he really wanted to cry.

Liao Shan, the eldest husband who was beside Li Mu at that time, said to Li Mu and others:

"The two counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong will also develop like this in the near future."

Just this sentence made Li Mu and others look forward to it.

At this point, Li Mu and the others no longer had anything to think about in their hearts. It seems that it is right to surrender to the Yan Kingdom!

Li Mu turned around and said softly to Sima Shang: "The Yan Kingdom is so strong, it is really unreasonable not to unify the world. ”

Sima Shang nodded and said to Li Mu:

"General, the last general is wondering, after the reorganization of the armies of my Yanmen and Yunzhong counties, will he Yan Guo equip our army with the same equipment and weapons as the Yan army, especially the cavalry."

Li Mu naturally knew that his subordinate was "Little Jiujiu", and said to him with a smile:

"This is natural, it can be seen from Wuyang City that Yan Country does not lack these equipment and weapons."

As an outstanding military strategist of this era, Li Mu has seen the situation in the world very thoroughly.

By now, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han in the Central Plains are no longer the fundamental opponents of Yan, and the biggest opponent that prevents Yan from dominating the world is Qin.
