For Vaqi, Ji Kang is actually not as relaxed as it seems.

Above the court, Ji Kang talked eloquently, giving the ministers a calm and unhurried look, as if everything was under control.

But in fact, Ji Kang was also very uneasy in his heart.

Although the Yan army had made careful calculations before the war, they also sent Su Dai and Jiang Qu to various countries for diplomatic mediation.

But what will happen to the resistance of the state of Qi? What was the final reaction of the Central Plains countries?

Ji Kang really couldn't grasp this.

Qi is not a small country like Buyeo and Kei, but a large Central Plains country known as the world's seven strongest.

When he first became the king of Yan, he carried out such a large-scale battle to destroy the country.

If you win, you can say anything!

But if you don't take the Qi Kingdom, the consequences will be unimaginable for the Yan Kingdom!

Coming out of the court, Ji Kang came to the temple next to the Ji Palace alone.

Kneeling quietly, in front of the spiritual throne of the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom.

Pray and speak with the spirits of these former kings in order to seek a moment of peace of mind.

"The spirits of the ancestors of the Great Yan dynasties are above, and the descendants of Ji Kang kneel here."

"Da Yan is out of the country, and he is proud of the northern frontier of China."

"The wish of the previous kings of my Yan Kingdom to go south to the Central Plains, Ji Kang ascended the throne, and I dare not forget it one day."

"Now that the nations are around, the unification of the world has become a trend."

"However, if my Yan country does not want to be annexed by other countries in the future, I can only work hard and strengthen myself."

"Now that the Central Plains countries have been in trouble for many years, the national strength is exhausted."

"At this time, I am a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Ji Kang is determined to go south and take the lead in eradicating the feud of my Yan Kingdom, Qi Kingdom."

"If I can get what I want, my Yan Kingdom will be able to unify the world."

"The swallow wind is fierce, and the swallow virtue is clear."

"Pray, ancestors and ancestors bless my Yan country!"

After that, Ji Kang kowtowed deeply to the spiritual thrones of the previous kings of the Yan Kingdom.

Ling Wangcong, the attendant standing at the gate of the temple, found that the Zongzheng Ji Ming next to him was looking at the Yan King Ji Kang who was kowtowing in the temple, and the tears on his face had run down his cheeks.

Such a big burden is now pressed on the young back of the kowtow in the temple.

Don't forget, this is only an eighteen-year-old king!

What Ji Kang didn't know was that at this time, the Yan army led by Wang Shi had already crossed the Yan border and conquered Fuyang City (now Dongguan, Cangxian County, Hebei), a border city of Qi on the border with Yan.

Under Fuyang City, under the fierce bombardment of the Yan army's catapults, the walls of Fuyang City collapsed in less than an hour, splashing countless dust.

The general, Wang Shi, stood on a hill outside the city on horseback, watching the Yan army shouting, pouring into Fuyang City from the gap in the city wall smashed by the catapult, his face expressionless.

Hu Guiliang, the commander of the Third Army, said to Ma Shunda, the "old man" next to him: "Our army broke through this city, which is shorter than we imagined. The improved catapult is lighter, but more powerful! ”

Adjutant General and Political Commissar Ma Shunda didn't say anything, just nodded.

Wang Shi obviously heard Hu Guiliang's voice, and said to the guard officer next to him, "Bring the map." ”

After looking at the map, General Wang Shi turned his head and said to Hu Guiliang, commander of the Third Army, and Ma Shunda, deputy general behind him:

"General Hu, General Ma, the battle in Fuyang City is over. The two of you can lead the Third Army, take advantage of your army's ability to raid quickly, and march rapidly towards Qiancheng City of Qi (present-day Gaocheng Town, Gaoqing County, Shandong Province). ”

"Bypassing the other Qi cities along the way, such as Huan'an (now southwest of Yanshan County, Hebei), Maiqiu (now northwest of Shanghe County, Shandong), etc., you two can ignore them. If it is blocked by a small force, it will be defeated. The two generals, Ben and General Wu, will take the city behind them for you. ”

"Two generals, Qiancheng City is located south of the Great River (Yellow River) and north of Jishui (now the Daqing River and Xiaoqing River in Henan and Shandong Provinces), and is an important northern town in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and the task of your third army is to conquer this city as soon as possible."

"After conquering the Thousand Cities, your troops can stop advancing and garrison the Thousand Cities. After waiting for the arrival of our rear army, we will forcibly cross the Jishui River and go south to Qin Zhoucheng (now northeast of Zibo, Shandong), and the troops will be in Linzi. ”

Wu Yangjing, Wang Shi's deputy general and political commissar of the South Road Army, added to the two:

"At present, it seems that the Qi State is unprepared for this attack on our Yan Kingdom. Our army should seize this favorable opportunity and march to Linzi, the capital of Qi State, as soon as possible. ”

Hu Guiliang and Ma Shunda bowed down together on the horse and received the order: "The last general will obey the order." ”

The two of them turned around and led their guards down the hill.

Wang Shi looked at the figures of the two, and then turned to Wu Yangjing and said: "General Wu, Hu Shunliang's third army is the vanguard of our army, and this general will lead the fourth army as the middle army, and he will soon be drawn out to deal with the third army." ”

"After your Tenth Army clears the resistance of Fuyang City, it can be the rear army, and it can be the rear army, and the rear army of our Chinese army. The soldiers are very fast, and now they will immediately report to General Rong Yu in the rear, and ask him to send an army of officials to take over Fuyang City, which our army has conquered, and our army must not delay here for too long. ”

The deputy general Wu Yangjing was on the horse, clasped his fists and bowed and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

General Wang Shi didn't know what to remember, and said to Wu Yangjing with a smile:

"At that time, General Leyi of the Yan Kingdom invaded Qi, and it took less than sixty days to occupy the entire territory of the Qi State, leaving only two cities, Jimo and Jucheng. I waited for this expedition to Qi, I don't know how many days I can occupy the entire territory of Qi country? ”

Adjutant General Wu Yangjing still cautiously suggested: "General, although the quality of our army's personnel, weapons and equipment, including logistics and supplies, at this time far exceeded that of our army led by General Le Yi at that time. ”

"But at that time, in the early stage of the invasion of Qi, it was Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, and my Yan State, and the five countries jointly sent troops to Qi State. Today, there is only one country, Yan State, attacking Qi State, which is not the same as at that time. ”

"In this battle of Qi, when our army rushes forward, we should take into account the reactions of the Qi army in the western part of the Qi State (now Gaotang County, Shandong), Pingyuanyi (now Shandong Pingyuan County) and even the surrounding areas, as well as other Central Plains countries."

"General, this battle is related to the national fortune of our Yan country, and it is also related to the lives of thousands of soldiers of our Yan country. The general is brave, but the responsibility is too heavy, and our army must not rush forward! ”

After listening to Wu Yangjing's words, General Wang Shi nodded and said, "What the political commissar said is extremely true, and the general will remember it." Political commissar, I am now leading the Chinese army to rush to Huan'an City immediately, and take advantage of the current panic of the Qi army to take the city as soon as possible and clear the hidden danger of our army going south. ”

"After your rear army has pacified Fuyang City, after the army taken over by General Bo Wang in the rear, after arriving, immediately lead the army south, for the future of our Chinese army, without delay."

Adjutant General Wu Yangjing bowed down and said, "No." ”

Rong Yi, a general in Zhongyi City, Hejian County (now Cangxian County, Hebei), received a military report from Wang Shi, the commander of the Yan front, on the afternoon of the day the army was dispatched.

After reading the military report, Rong Yan said to Zuo Zong and other generals beside him:

"General Wang Shi is really mighty, and before he arrives a day, he has already taken Fuyang City. Now, he has personally led a large army to Huan'an, and asked me to send officials and troops to the rear as soon as possible to take over Fuyang. ”

After hearing this, Zuo Zong, the commander of the Second Army, and other generals, none of them showed excited looks.

Seeing that the army in front of him is attacking the city, and the army led by himself and others is in the rear, he is in a hurry!

They all blinked their eyes, pitiful and dumbfounded, looking at Rong Worm.

Rong Yan looked at the expressions on the faces of Zuo Zong and the others, and naturally understood the thoughts of the generals, and laughed.

After thinking for a while, he said to Zuo Zong: "General Zuo, you can lead the second army, the first army of the Hejian County Reserve, and the second army, and enter Fuyang." In addition, the officials sent by the Ministry of Officials will also be stationed with you. ”

"After it has calmed down Fuyang, you can lead these two armies and slowly follow behind Wang Shi's army to prevent reinforcements from Qi and even other countries. If this happens, you don't have to report it, and you go to war to stop it. ”

Zuo Zong had a smile on his face, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Then Honor and Disgrace turned to the herald beside him and said:

"Someone came, immediately send the news of the attack on Fuyang City to the king with carrier pigeons. The king is now in Jidu, and he must be waiting for the progress of my front army, and the court officials and even the people of my Yan Kingdom are also waiting for the news of my front army. ”

"Send someone to inform General Liu Sheng of Zhongyang County, let him lead the Eighth Army in Zhongyang County, and keep an eye on the movements of Zhao State for me. Once Zhao Guo makes a move, let him report to me immediately. ”

"No."

After Zuo Zong and the official left, Rong Yan came to the map in front of the wall and looked at the Jimo Peninsula in the east of the Qi Kingdom.

After a while, he said to himself, "Has General Rakuma's army landed?" ”
