In the first year of Ji Kang, at the beginning of April, the palace of Ji Palace and the apse of the palace.

When Ji Kang was reviewing the documents, the attendant ordered Wang Cong to come in and report to Ji Kang:

"Qi to the king, the director of the intelligence bureau Huang Yong came to see him, saying that he had something to report to the king."

Ji Kang raised his head and said to Wang Cong, "Let Director Huang Yong come in." ”

"No."

After a while, Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau, walked into the hall, bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "See my king." ”

Ji Kang waved his hand and said to Huang Yong: "Director Huang sit down, there is no need to be polite." ”

"Thank you, my king."

After Huang Yong sat down, he took out a few pieces of information from the leather bag he carried and reported to Ji Kangyu:

"King Qiqi, Tian Jia sent a message from Toumancheng, saying that the Xiongnu had gathered 100,000 troops in Toumancheng and were preparing to go north to attack several small tribal states in the northwest and north of the Xiongnu. Tian Jia is still in Toumancheng, closely following the movements of the Xiongnu army. ”

"In addition, these documents are the movements of the courts of the Central Plains countries, and the most important thing is that the Wei State is also gathering a large army on the border of the Wei State, and it seems that it is preparing to occupy the Wei Kingdom."

After that, Huang Yong put the documents he took out and put his hands on Ji Kang's table.

Ji Kang picked up a few documents on Huang Yong's desk and read them carefully.

The hall was silent.

After Ji Kang read the few pieces of information sent by Huang Yong, he frowned slightly, stood up, and came to the map in front of the wall.

Huang Yong and the attendant Ling Wang Cong, seeing the eyes of the king, looked at the court of the Xiongnu in the north of the map, where the city of Touman was located. And found that Ji Kang opened his thumb and middle finger, roughly measuring the distance between Upper Valley County and Touman City.

After a while, Huang Yong and Wang Cong heard Ji Kang say to himself: "About fifteen or six hundred miles of land!" ”

Immediately afterward, Ji Kang's eyes were fixed on the border between Wei and Wei on the map.

"The waiter order, you go to the Military Aircraft Pavilion and let a few cabinet ministers come to the Affinity Hall."

"No." The attendant ordered the king to bow down and answer.

After Wang Cong left, Ji Kang looked at the map for a while and turned around.

He instructed Huang Yong: "Director Huang, you asked my intelligence personnel in Wei and Wei to pay close attention to the movements of Wei and Wei, and report as soon as there is news." ”

Huang Yong hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "No." The minister will go down and make arrangements. ”

At this time, the four ministers of Ju Xin, Su Belly, Su Dai, and Jiangqu were already walking into the palace accompanied by the attendant Ling Wang Cong. The four of them and Huang Yong, who was walking out of the hall gate, nodded in greeting.

Ji Kang saw several ministers come in, waved his hand, and stopped the four ministers from seeing.

After the four pavilions sat down, Ji Kang returned to the table and sat down.

"Zhongqing, this is a few pieces of information that Director Huang Yong just sent in, so please circulate it. It seems that this year, the surroundings of my Yan Kingdom are very lively! ”

Ji Kang said lightly to the four ministers such as Ji Xin.

After Ju Xin and the others circulated several pieces of information sent by Huang Yong, they couldn't help but ponder.

Ji Kang didn't urge, sat at the table, picked up the water cup on the table, and drank two sips of water.

Prime Minister Su Dai stood up and first talked about his views:

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu Shan Yu led the army north to crusade against several tribal countries in the north, which has little impact on our Yan Kingdom for the time being. The key thing is that if the Wei State wants to raise troops to attack our vassal state and defend the country, our Yan State will have to pay close attention. ”

Jiang Qu also said to Ji Kangyan: "Your Majesty, what Su Xiang said just now is extremely true, in the opinion of the ministers, the Xiongnu will raise troops to the north, and my Yan country can wait and see the changes." But if Wei wants to invade Weiguo, my Yan State can't sit idly by! ”

After Ji Kang listened to the words of Su Dai and Jiang Qu, he sighed secretly in his heart.

Now the courts of the Central Plains, including the Yan Kingdom, do not care very much about the attitude of the Xiongnu. I thought that this Xiongnu would not pose much of a threat to the countries of the Central Plains, so I didn't need to pay much attention to it.

Only Ji Kang knew deeply that this Toumanshan Yu was very good, and after two or three years on the throne, he built a royal city and established laws. This time, he led his army to the north and began to carry out the battle of unification of the northern nomadic countries.

According to the memory of Ji Kang's previous life, if nothing else, after more than ten years, all the nomads in the north will be unified, and an unprecedented unified steppe empire will rise in the north of the Central Plains.

However, the countries of the Central Plains are still divided and mired in civil war. The three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Qin, which bordered the Xiongnu, were unable to intervene in the annexation wars of the northern steppes.

Ji Kang didn't say much, and looked at the two ministers of the drama Xin and Su belly, who did not speak, and said to the two:

"Drama and Su Xiang, you two should also talk about their own thoughts!"

Su Yu stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the information sent back by the Intelligence Bureau, Wei Guo must have a plot against Wei Guo. However, our Yan Kingdom cannot be in a hurry, and should wait and see what happens. ”

Ju Xin said to Ji Kangyan: "Your Majesty, the ministers agreed with the opinions of the ministers just now. Wei definitely wants to try to defend the country, there is no need to question this. However, the situation is still unclear, and our Yan country must not make a big move. ”

"After all, Wei Guo is only a vassal state of my Yan Kingdom, and my Yan Kingdom must not sit idly by. But it can only be seen how Wei Guo responds to Wei? See if you send an envoy to my Yan country? in order to make further plans. ”

"If the Patriotic State sends an envoy to our Yan Kingdom and asks for help from my Yan Kingdom, my Yan Kingdom will be famous. Now, our king can order Lu Xiang, generals Wang Shi, and Bo Wang to prepare to send troops. ”

The words of Ji Xin and Su Bei, Ji Kang also understands very well. That is, Wei Guo is only a vassal state of Yan State, not the native of Yan State. In the face of the invasion of Wei, only when the facts are formed, can Yan interfere.

Ji Kang nodded and said slowly to the four cabinet ministers:

"Four ministers, our Yan country's eyes should not only see the movements of the Central Plains countries, but also pay attention to the movements of the Xiongnu in the north. The widow believes that this Xiongnu will be the great enemy of our Central Plains in the future. ”

"Of course, the current Xiongnu are still not much of a threat to our Central Plains. However, I, Yan Guo, must pay close attention to the movements of the Xiongnu, and must not let him become bigger. ”

At this point, the young king paused and said, word by word: "If it doesn't work, send an army to attack it." ”

When the four ministers heard Ji Kang say this, they were all stunned, thinking that Ji Kang was going to send troops to the Huns.

Ji Xin hurriedly stood up and admonished Ji Kang: "Your Majesty, don't! The Central Plains is uneven, and my Yan State can't attack the Huns at present! Once the Xiongnu are attacked, our Yan country will immediately face the dilemma of fighting on the southern and northern fronts, which is not conducive to our Yan country. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the current situation of my Yan Kingdom is the best situation faced by the founding of the country for hundreds of years. Our Yan Kingdom has risen in the north of the Central Plains, and it is a big country in the world and has the opportunity to dominate the world. ”

"The Xiongnu border with our Yan country is very small, and the threat to Qin and Zhao is very great, if my Yan country attacks the Xiongnu, it will waste national strength in vain, and it will also cheapen Qin and Zhao. Only to unify the Central Plains, and then attack the Xiongnu is not too late. ”

"Your Majesty, for the Huns, my king doesn't have to worry too much, it is better to continue to adopt the strategy of "fetter". You can contact Donghu in the north, and if you can't do it, you can send an envoy to Yueshi and use Donghu and Yueshi to limit the expansion of the Xiongnu. This is the humble opinion of the ministers, please accept it from the king. ”

Su Belly, Su Dai, and Jiang Qu stood up together, bowed down and said to Ji Kang:

"Your Majesty, what the drama minister said is extremely true, and the ministers seconded it."

Ji Kang looked at the four ministers and laughed.

To the drama Xin, Su belly and other four people:

"The four ministers, the widow has no intention of attacking the Huns now, so you don't have to worry too much."

"I'm Wang Shengming." The four old men said in unison.

Ji Kang thought about it again and said to the four cabinet ministers:

"I, Yan Guo, is indeed facing an unprecedentedly good situation as Zhong Qing just said. What the widow just said about the Huns was a little anxious. According to what the drama just said, send envoys to Donghu and Yueshi to "fetters" the Xiongnu! ”

After thinking about it again, he said:

"Spread the edict, and ordered the generals Bo Wang and Le Jian to return to Jidu after the inspection. The edict ordered the Fourth Army of General Wang Shi to prepare to attack and defend the country. ”

"The ministers obey the edict." Once again, the crowd replied in unison.
