In early April, the lower capital Wuyang City, the royal palace.

It was dark, and the sky was full of stars at night.

In one of the palaces within the royal palace, the lights are bright.

On the west wall of the palace hangs a map.

In front of the map, Yan Wang Ji Kang, at this moment, with the cabinet minister Su Dai, Jiang Qu, Ji Mao, the president of the Supervision Yuan, as well as Tian Guang, Han Fei, Ju Wu and others, were looking at the map and discussing something.

The old manager Ji Mao pointed to the map in front of him with his finger, and said to Ji Kang, Su Dai, Jiang Qu and others:

"Your Majesty, judging from the military intelligence report from the front of our army, the current situation of the two armies in the south and east of our Yan Kingdom can be said to be progressing smoothly, even exceeding the estimate of our army before the war."

"Wang Shibu, the army of the South Road, has captured many important towns in the north such as Fuyang, Rao'an, and Maiqiu of Qi State, and repelled the reinforcements in the western part of Qi State. The former army also occupied the northern castle of Senjo, and is currently attacking the southern castle of Senjo. ”

"As long as our army can conquer Qiancheng, there will be no more cities on the north bank of the Jihe River that can stop my southern army. Now Wang Shizheng is leading the main army of the South Road, rushing to Qiancheng day and night. After preparing to conquer Qiancheng City, he forcibly crossed the Jishui River, and the troops were in Linzi. ”

"At this time, the East Road Army Music Department has occupied many important eastern cities such as Penglai, Donglai, and Yeyi in Qi State. Although under the city of Yeyi, it was stubbornly blocked by the Qi army, but it was not a big problem. ”

"Now Lejian has reported that he has sent Shi Kang and Zhang Tian to lead the Second Army of the Navy to sweep in the direction of Changyang in the eastern part of Qi State, so as to cut off the connection between Modu and the cities in the eastern part of Qi State."

"Lejian, Bo Wang, Shi Yong and other generals have personally led the army of the East Road to advance to the Modu of Qi. Prepare to conquer Modu as quickly as possible and completely complete the occupation of the eastern territory of the Qi Kingdom. ”

After Ji Mao finished speaking, he stood behind Ji Kang.

After listening to the old manager's introduction, Ji Kang did not answer immediately.

He took two steps forward, raised his head, and set his eyes on the other countries of the Central Plains on the map.

On the military side of attacking the Qi State, the two-way army led by the generals Wang Shi and Le Jian in the front seems to be progressing smoothly. Besides, there is also the commander of the Yan army in Hejian County, Rong Yan, who personally pressed the formation in the rear.

It seems that the military side of the Yan Kingdom does not need to worry about anything for the time being.

But nearly twenty days have passed since the day of the attack on the Qi State. The other countries in the Central Plains must have received the message now, according to the current situation, the Qi countries will definitely ask for help from the countries, what will be their reactions to the countries in the Central Plains?

This matter is the problem that I should pay the most attention to and solve at present.

After looking at the map on the wall for a while, Ji Kang slowly turned around and asked the old manager Ji Mao:

"Uncle Ji, the intelligence officers I have stationed in the Central Plains countries can transmit back the reactions and trends of the courts of various countries?"

Ji Mao stepped forward and bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"Your Majesty, the State of Zhao has now begun to gather a large army in Handan, but its movements are unknown; There are two movements of the Wei State, one is that the Hedong Wei army is still resisting the encroachment of the Qin army with the Qin State in the Hedong area (now the Yuncheng area of Shanxi), and the other is that the Wei army of the Great Liang is also gathering at present, and its movements are unknown; ”

"Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, and Yin Huangxie, the king of Chu, met with Xunzi, who had traveled to Chu. Subsequently, Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, appointed Xunzi, who was already eighty-one years old, as the new commander of Lanling in Ludi (now Lanling County, Shandong, formerly Cangshan County); And the Chu army has also gathered in Ludi at present, and its movements are unknown. ”

"There was no movement in the Korean court, nor did there be any movement to gather the army; As for the Qin State, according to the report of my intelligence personnel in Xianyang, the envoys of the Qi State only entered Xianyang a few days ago, and it is estimated that if the Qin State wants to react, it will be in these few days. ”

Ji Kang looked at Su Dai and the others behind him, and found that everyone's faces were more serious.

Yes! Although it now seems that the two armies of the Yan army are progressing smoothly. However, other countries in the Central Plains have begun to gather large armies. Although it is not necessarily to rescue Qi Guo, but I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of what happens!

Ji Kang smiled and said to everyone: "Don't stand, everyone, go back to your seats and sit!" Let's discuss it. ”

"No."

Everyone looked at Ji Kang's expression, and seeing that Ji Kang was still very calm, everyone couldn't help but relax a little in their hearts.

After everyone sat down, Ji Kang turned his head to look at Han Fei and asked:

"Han Fei, in your opinion, how will South Korea react? Will they send troops to help Qi State? ”

Han Fei stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"Your Majesty, South Korea's current strength and self-protection are also difficult, and it is no longer able to interfere in other countries, so my king can not consider South Korea."

Ji Kang nodded, and said again to everyone:

Let's talk about our inner thoughts and opinions. Speak freely, and the widow will not blame you. ”

The three old ministers of Su Dai, Jiang Qu, and Ji Mao all bowed their heads and pondered.

The three young people, Tian Guang, Han Fei, and Ju Wu, looked at each other, looking eager to try.

Seeing this, Ji Kang smiled and said to Tian Guang, Han Fei, and Ju Wu: "The three of you are young, let's talk about your opinions first." If there is anything missing, the widow will not blame you. ”

Tian Guang stood up, hugged his fists at Ji Kang and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at present, we should try our best to pull all countries into the camp of my Yan Kingdom, and prevent all countries from having the heart to help Qi Kingdom. In this way, the army of our Yan Kingdom will not have any worries. ”

Han Fei stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, what General Tian said, the minister agrees. As long as sufficient benefits are given to all countries, all countries will not interfere in our country's war. ”

Ju Wu said to Ji Kang:

The king once said to his subordinates: "There are no eternal interests among nations, only eternal interests." "Nowadays, our Yan country and the Central Plains countries are all good friends. At present, as long as the benefits of all countries are promised, they will not help the Qi country. ”

Su Dai, Jiang Qu, and Ji Mao, the three old ministers, hearing these three young people say this, their eyes can't help but light up.

Seeing this, Ji Kang stood up and was very happy in his heart.

These contemporary young heroes have finally begun to show their talents!

Coming to the map again, Ji Kang looked at the map and said slowly:

"The widow thinks that in the face of the pressure of the Qin State, the countries do not want to offend my Yan State for no reason at this time. Just as Tian Guang, Han Fei, and Ju Wu said just now, my Yan country can give benefits to all countries, so that countries do not aid Qi country. At present, the only people bordering Qi are Zhao, Wei, and Chu. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Kang raised his right hand and pointed to the west of the big river on the map:

"Zhao State, my Yan State can give more than 20 cities to Zhao State, including Acheng (now Dong'e County, Shandong), Liaocheng (now Dongchangfu District, Liaocheng City, Shandong), and Juancheng (now Juancheng County, Shandong) west of the Great River (Yellow River), and help it fight against Qin."

Then Ji Kang's right hand went down and pointed to a place called Taoyi on the map:

"The State of Wei, the State of Wei and the State of Qin have been at war for the past two years. Don't forget, Qin had an "enclave" between Qi and Wei - Taoyi (now Dingtao County, Shandong), which was the fief of Wei Ran, the marquis of Qin. For Taoyi, Wei Wangyu had already thought about it, but he was afraid of Qin. ”

"The widow can write a letter of state to Wei Wangyu, and my Yan can promise Wei to form an alliance between the two countries. Let him occupy Taoyi first, and once my Yan State occupies Qi State, I will help Wei State fight against the Qin army. ”

This place of Taoyi, which was originally the land of the Song Kingdom, has the reputation of "the richest city in the world".

King Qi was greedy for the wealth of Taoyi, so he accepted Su Qin's strategy, sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and occupied Taoyi.

More than 20 years ago, the six kingdoms combined to conquer Qi, Taoyi and the surrounding cities were occupied by Qin, and at the request of the Marquis Wei Ran, the Qin king Yingji took this place as a mining and gave it to Wei Ran.

In the end, Ji Kang's eyes narrowed, and he slowly stroked along the Great Wall in the south of Qi with his hand, and said to everyone:

"As for the state of Chu, the king of Chu Xiong Wan is greedy, and Chu Ling Yin Huangxi is ambitious, but the Chu army ...... I, the Yan State, can promise the Chu State to allow it to annex the Fei State, and divide the territory of the Qi State with the Chu State with the Great Wall in the south of Qi as the boundary. ”

"In this way, my Yan State occupies the Qi State, and the farthest border is to the Great Wall in the south of Qi. The north is the land of our Yan State, and the south is given to the Chu State, and promises to help it resist Qin. In this way, it is enough to satisfy the greed of the Chu State. ”

"In this way, among all the countries in the world, there is only Qin. But if Qin wants to go on an expedition to Qidi, it is not so easy! Besides, as long as our army occupies the Qi State, why not be afraid of the Qin State attacking. ”

"Guanzi" said: "The sun of the Great Wall, Lu Ye; The Yin of the Great Wall, Qi also".

After the founding of the State of Qi, it was very wary of the southern Lu and Song states, especially the Chu State that was in the south and eyeing the tiger. Therefore, at the expense of huge manpower, material and financial resources, a Great Wall was built within its territory, just like Yan and Zhao.

After listening to Ji Kang's words, everyone's hearts brightened.

When the old man of Su Dai heard Ji Kang's arrangement, he was even more excited.

This is a wonderful strategy!

Everyone stood up together, faced Ji Kang who turned around, and said in unison: "I'm Wang Shengming." ”

Prime Minister Su Dai bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take the king's order and immediately send envoys to the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu, and my king's wish will be fulfilled."

Prime Minister Qu also bowed to Ji Kang and said: "The minister is also willing to accompany the Prime Minister Su to the above three countries to help the Prime Minister of Su." ”

Ji Kang glanced at Su Dai and Jiang Qu, nodded, and said to the two:

"In this way, it will be hard for Su Xiang and Jiang Xiang."
