Chapter 5: Returning Home (I)
Ji Kang turned to look at the people in the room from the window of the map room again.
"Zhongqing, the conditions for the unification of the Central Plains by my Yan State are already a matter of course. After the autumn harvest, the army of our Yan Kingdom should actively devote itself to war preparation and training, and all counties, counties, and departments should mobilize to make all preparations for the unification war in the coming year. ”
"The strategic plan of our Yan State to unify the Central Plains is divided into two contents, one is to take advantage of the chaos of all countries in the world, do not love property, bribe their powerful ministers, and plot to make chaos. In order to break up the contiguous trend of various countries. ”
"Second, continue to carry out, the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" formulated by our Yan State before, that is, first weak and then strong, first near and then far. In the coming year, the army will attack Zhao State, which cannot be changed. ”
After that, Ji Kangyan paused again and said slowly:
"This strategic step of our Yan State to unify the Central Plains can be summarized as three steps. The first step is to envelop Qin and Chu. King Yingji of Qin is very old, and the message sent back from Xianyang is known that Yingji is already lying on the sickbed; The state of Chu is running at both ends, and it is impossible to confront my Yan country head-on for the sake of other countries. ”
"Therefore, my Yan State can send envoys to Qin and Chu to rebuild the alliance and friendship between my Yan State and these two countries. The widow believes that after the defeat of Qin and Chu in the Lianheng War this year, they will not reject this friendly proposal of our Yan State. ”
Everyone in the room agreed when they heard this.
Ji Kang said again: "The second step of my Yan Kingdom is to stabilize Wei and Han. The situation between Wei and Han has been analyzed very well by General Rong Yi just now, and he will not recount it. ”
"Since the war this year, the news that has been sent back from Daliang and even Xinzheng is that Wei Wangyu and Han Wangran are very afraid of our Yan Kingdom. My Yan State can send envoys to bribe its courtiers so that they do not dare to interfere in the military affairs of our Yan Kingdom. ”
"In the end, what I want to say is the third step of my Yan Kingdom to unify the Central Plains, that is, to defeat Zhao in the coming year. The widow is Zhao Wangdan's nephew, and everyone knows it. The widow originally wanted to marry Zhao Guo as a country of relatives, but the widow's uncle disappointed the widow too much. ”
"When Zhao Guo was in repeated crises, all the widows helped Zhao Guo through the crisis. The widow thinks that there is no place for Zhao Guo; There's no place for my uncle. ”
"But what about Zhao Guo? The widow didn't expect that Zhao Guo was actually ungrateful, and when my Yan country was in danger, he sent a large army to invade my Yan country. What's even more frustrating is that Zhao Guo actually wants to put my Yan Kingdom to death. ”
"Since, Zhao Guo wants to kill my Yan Kingdom. Then I, the Yan Kingdom, should destroy its Zhao Kingdom. The widow has long said that it is not rude to come. Cutting Zhao in the coming year is an unchangeable national strategy of our Yan country. ”
At this time, Ji Kang stepped to the side of the world map.
Lifting the map, he looked at the huge map hanging on the wall in front of him, and said slowly:
"The strategic policy of my Yan State to dominate the world is the twelve words that the widow said: envelop Qin and Chu, stabilize Wei Han, and destroy his Zhao State. After our Yan State occupies the Zhao State, and then the other Central Plains countries will be defeated. ”
"Congratulations, the strategic plan of my Yan Kingdom is very clear, that is, if you want to unify the world, you must first unify the Central Plains; And if you want to unify the Central Plains, you must first occupy the Zhao State. The current Zhao State is already the biggest "roadblock" to the unification of the world by our Yan Kingdom. ”
After that, the young king stood beside the map of the world, speechless for a long time.
All the people in the room stood up together, and looked at the picture of the world in front of them, along with their king.
As the saying goes: there are new people in the country, and a new generation replaces the old.
Shangqing Yu Xin, who withdrew from the court of Zhao State, understood this truth; Fan Ju, who returned to his hometown, understands this truth even more.
No matter how good a person is, sooner or later he will withdraw from the stage of history.
But it is undeniable that in the era that Ji Kang came, there were many people's names, which would inevitably be like bright stars, shining forever in the sky of Chinese history.
Yu Xin, Fan Ju and other wise men who bravely retreated from the rapids were like this; Bai Qi, Zhao Hao, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Lin Xiangru, etc., these Chinese heroes who have been sleeping underground for a long time are the same.
The history of my China is also brilliant because of the names of these people.
At present, whether it is in the future planning of the Yan Kingdom, in the court of the Wei Kingdom, or even in the hearts of the kings of all countries in the world, there is a person's name that will always be mentioned.
This is Wei Wangyu's own brother, the Xinling Jun of Wei - Wei Wuji.
At the moment of the crisis of the Battle of Handan, Wei Wuji stole talismans to save Zhao, which can be said to be to save the city from being destroyed and supporting the building from collapse. led the Wei army, together with the allied forces of Zhao, Chu, Yan, and Han, not only defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, but also retreated to Hangu Pass. It also helped the countries of the Central Plains and recovered the territories occupied by the Qin State.
The incident of stealing talismans to save Zhao made the prestige of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, reach its peak in the hearts of the world.
In front of Xinlingjun from Hangu Pass, when he returned to Handan, King Zhao personally led his ministers out of the suburbs to welcome the prince, and Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, carried a crossbow arrow and personally drove for Xinlingjun to visit Handan City.
The people of Zhao State, thousands of empty alleys, all went to the streets to admire the heroic appearance of the son, countless teenagers fell for it, and countless girls went crazy for it. It is reported that the Handan Medical Center was overcrowded that day, because many people fainted on the spot after seeing the "idol".
Tempting Ruji, stealing soldiers, correcting the king's life, killing Jin and contempt, seizing military power, Xinling Jun is very enjoyable and beautiful.
But for Wei Wangyu, this is simply to regard the authority and dignity of his king as nothing, it is a brotherhood, and it is against the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. Because of this, Xinlingjun did not dare to return to Wei.
But after all, Xinlingjun was the younger brother of the King of Wei, and his crimes were also excusable, and after the Battle of Handan, he helped Wei recapture the land east of the river occupied by Qin, and the merits were compensated.
Besides, Wei Wangyu didn't want to lose his last dignity as a king by punishing Xinling Jun.
After learning that Xinlingjun, who lived in Zhao State, was only given by King Zhao to Shanyi (now north of Baixiang County, Hebei Province) as Xinlingjun as "Tang Muyi", and Xinlingjun's soldiers were overstretched. Wang Wei returned Xinlingjun to Xinling (now Ningling County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province), the feudal province of Xinlingjun in Wei.
I will return this fiefdom to you, and let you raise your soldiers. But you, don't go back to Wei for the time being!
Wei Wangyu then sent people to transport the family members, slaves and a large number of food, clothing, use, and special products to Handan.
After Xinlingjun received the huge convoy sent by his eldest brother Wei Wangyu to Zhao Guo, he was very unappreciative on the surface, and warned the guests under his door: "Anyone who dares to report and convey for the envoys of the King of Wei will be executed." ”
But in private, it was in Zhao Guo's own house in Handan, where he locked himself in the study and cried bitterly.
Since then, Xinlingjun has stayed in Handan for five years.
How many five years are there in a person's life, and how much youth and time are left for people to waste.
Flowers bloom, winter goes to spring.
With the same name as Xinling Jun, Ji Kang, a young man who was still in Liaodi back then, has grown up to become the monarch of Yan State. But Xin Lingjun could only let his youth grow old, looking at the direction of Wei in a daze.
He misses the water of the chasm, he misses the moon of Daliang, he misses the good times with his eldest brother Wei Wangyu, playing tea games, and he even misses the dilapidated house where Mr. Hou Ying of Yimen lives. But there was nothing he could do, and he couldn't go back to Wei.
In the past five years, Xinlingjun's personality charm has continued to move Zhao Guo and the world.
There are two masters in the market in Handan, one is Xue Gong who sells wine, and the other is Mao Gong who is mixed in the casino.
Unexpectedly, the two of Xue Gong and Mao Gong always avoided him, and Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, finally figured it out after thinking for a long time, and dared to love these two people, and they didn't eat his original set at all.
When he went to invite Hou Huan, Zhu Hai and others, they were all brightly dressed, tall and angry, and his entourage was like a cloud to show respect.
Mao Gong and Xue Gong are different, they are wandering on the fringes of society, and they never thought of asking for so-called secular fame one day. The two of them are pursuing things that are different from Hou Huan and Zhu Hai and others.
Therefore, instead of moving them, the condescension of Xinlingjun made them feel bored and bored.
Since Xue Gong and Mao Gong don't like it, then I believe in Lingjun and change it! So, Xinling Jun abandoned his entourage, only wore cloth clothes and shoes, and walked into the gambling shop and wine shop to meet the two.
Mao and Xue Ergong were happy now, they patted Xin Lingjun on the shoulder and laughed with their greasy hands, Xin Lingjun also laughed, and the historical camera was fixed on the faces of the three of them, with a bold and warm smile.
At this time, the wandering priest and the world-famous son finally reached parity in personality. Since then, the three of them have often mingled among a group of drunkards and gamblers, drinking and singing to each other, talking happily, and becoming friends.
When Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, heard about this, he was very unimpressed. But it was not good to criticize Xin Lingjun, the benefactor of Zhao State, in person, so he decided to use his wife, Xin Lingjun's own sister, to influence Xin Lingjun.
Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, said to his wife: "At the beginning, I heard that Mrs. and my brother are unparalleled in the world, and now I hear it, but I am vain to travel with the bloggers and sell pulp, and swagger through the market, and the son is vain!"
When Mrs. Pingyuan Jun heard this, she also felt that her younger brother was a little disagreeable, so she sent someone to relay this to Xin Lingjun, hoping that her younger brother could rein in the precipice, learn from his mistakes, and stop playing with Mao Gong, Xue Gong, these two "old children".
We are handsome sons, gentle as jade, how can we be contaminated with such dirty things as drinking and gambling!
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, after hearing the words of his sister relayed by the visitor, immediately packed up his baggage and prepared to leave.
And said to the comer: "Shi Wu heard that the plain was a gentleman, so he took the king of Wei and saved Zhao, and satisfied the plain king." I don't want to be a plain gentleman, but I only want to travel in vain, in order to seek fame, not really seeking a scholar. ”
"When Wuji is in the beam, I often hear Mao and Xue Gongxian, and when I reach Zhao, I am afraid that I will not see it. Even if I travel with him, I will not be able to get his own people; Now the plain king is ashamed, but it is not enough to do it together! ”
