Chapter XII: Measures (II)
After Ji Kang listened to his mother Ji Zhao's words, especially after the words "very easy to do", he was simply stunned.
Looking at my mother, I don't know what to say? I could only say to my mother Ji Zhao silently in my heart: "My mother, don't make this kind of joke at this time, okay?" The question is serious. ”
Ji Zhao looked at his son's surprised appearance, smiled on his face, and said to Ji Kang lightly: "Kang'er, didn't your uncle want to use gold to buy food, weapons and military materials in my Liaodi?" ”
"I don't know how much gold we have in Liaodi? However, the treasury of the gold bank in the counties of Wu'er Liao Land is already full of gold coins. What do we want the gold of Zhao State for? Zhao has been fighting for many years, I'm afraid there isn't much gold! ”
"Mother, I will write to your uncle, and say that I don't want his gold, let him use Zhao's gold to do something else! If you want food and military supplies, it's very simple, let him exchange the eight Yancheng such as Zhongyang that he occupied in the past. ”
"Kang'er, since Wu'er came to Liaodi, he has helped your uncle a lot. Every time your uncle writes to you, he says he wants to express his gratitude to you. Yan and Zhao have distrusted each other for so many years, but they should always trust you!
"After your mother and I have sent a letter to your uncle, I think he will agree to hand over to you these eight Yan Kingdom cities that he occupies. Wu'er can send troops over to accept it, and by the way, wouldn't it be better to separate the two armies on the border between my Yan State and Zhao State? ”
After listening to his mother Ji Zhao's explanation, Ji Kang was dumbfounded, his whole body swayed, and his mouth was smiling to the root of his ears.
Wonderful! Why didn't I think of that?
Yes! Yan and Zhao don't trust each other, but they both trust me!
For Zhao Guo, I am your Zhao Wangdan's nephew, and I have always helped you in the past, and I have never said a word.
Now for the good of Zhao Guo, as long as you, King Zhao, hand over the eight Yan Kingdom cities such as Zhongyang that you occupy to me. I will continue to provide you with food, weapons and other military materials, so that you can resist the army of Qin, you can't say anything, right?
For Yan Guo, it's simpler.
Who dares to say that I, Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, will betray the interests of Yan Kingdom?
If you don't believe it, if you talk about it outside, you will definitely be spit on you by the people of Yan Kingdom and beat you half to death.
Ji Kang affirmed his mother's thoughts, but still said to Ji Zhao: "Mother, will my uncle agree to our request?" ”
Ji Zhao glared at his son and said very domineeringly: "Eldest sister Ruo Mother, if your uncle doesn't even trust me, the eldest sister." We won't worry about him so much in the future! Don't give him anything, what will he do? ”
Ji Kang immediately lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, as if he was prosperous.
He bowed down to his mother and said, "So, it's troublesome to my mother." Ask your mother to write to your uncle! See if my uncle agrees to this? ”
Ji Kang got the news from the Intelligence Bureau that his mother, the former Ji Zhao family, actually had a high prestige in the Zhao royal family.
Mother Ji Zhao, as the eldest daughter of King Zhao Huiwen and Empress Zhao Wei, has been loved by thousands of people since she was born.
Ah, it's just a rumor.
At that time, her mother Ji Zhao was in the palace of King Zhao, and she had been "flying and domineering" since she was a child, and she tossed the "black smoke miasma" of the palace of Zhao.
Dare to pull the beard of Ji Kang's maternal grandfather Zhao Huiwen, and dare to move the jewelry worn by Ji Kang's maternal grandmother Zhao Weihou to his room.
In this way, King Zhao Huiwen and Zhao Weihou were still smiling.
One said that the beard was good, and the other said that the jewelry was all for you.
As for his two uncles, Zhao Wangdan and Chang'an Jun. I heard that I have been in the shadow of my eldest sister Ji Zhao since I was a child, and I was "trembling".
When his mother Ji Zhao married his father, on the day he left, King Zhao Huiwen and Zhao Wei cried so much that they cried a handful of snot and tears.
Especially her grandmother Zhao Weihou, she held her mother Ji Zhao's heel and cried.
This is also recorded in the history of Ji Kang's previous life, saying that it is "holding its heels, crying for it, remembering its distance, and mourning." It has been done, not without thinking, and the sacrifice is wished to say, 'Don't rebel', isn't it a long-term plan, for the descendants to become kings one after another? ”
The next day, Ji Kang told his mother Ji Zhao's opinions to the four gentlemen of Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Su Dai.
After hearing this, the four gentlemen including Ju Xin all said that this strategy was very good.
Mr. Su Dai even stood up and shook his head and said to Ji Kang: "Junhou, Zhongyang City and its nearby eight cities are geographically important, with the Taihang Mountains in the west, my Yan Kingdom in the north, Zhao Kingdom in the south, and Qi Kingdom in the east. ”
"If Zhao Guo agrees to return these eight cities to my Liaodi, it will be of great benefit to my Liaodi to run the Central Plains in the future!"
After that, he deliberately took two steps in front of the two old gentlemen, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian.
Seeing this, Jun Xiangju Xin hurriedly stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said: "Junhou, Zhongyang City and the eight cities near it are of great significance to my Liaodi. But it's a pity that it's too far away from me. ”
Ji Kang walked to the map hanging on the wall, clicked on the Bohai Sea in the south of Liaoxi County, and said to Ju Xin and the other four gentlemen: "Actually, it's not far away, Zhongyang City and the eight cities near it can be connected to my Liaodi by sea!" ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Ji Kang did not delay and agreed with the four gentlemen. On the same day, he sent someone to send the letter of his mother Ji Zhao to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, as quickly as possible.
Subsequently, Ji Kang sent another letter to his father in person. He explained in detail that he hoped to get his father's understanding and support for the current attitude of Yan and Zhao.
At the end of August, Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan received a letter from his eldest sister Ji Zhao.
After reading Ji Zhao's letter, Zhao Wangdan frowned slightly, and summoned Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, and Lian Po, the veteran general, to discuss the matter.
After listening to King Zhao's explanation, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, and Lian Po, the veteran general, both lowered their heads and pondered.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Sheng raised his head and said to King Zhao: "King, for the princess's letter, the content is described. Wechen agreed. The biggest enemy of my Zhao State today is the Qin State, not the Yan State. ”
"As the princess said in the letter, if now I, the Zhao Kingdom, give the eight cities such as Zhongyang of the Yan Kingdom to the jurisdiction of the Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, our Zhao Kingdom can rest assured."
The veteran Lian Po also nodded, and said to Zhao Wangdan: "King, the old minister agrees with Pingyuan Jun's opinion. Now that the army of Qin is pressing, our Zhao State is facing a crisis of life and death, in addition to a serious shortage of troops, there is also a serious shortage of food and military funds. ”
"And General Pang Xuan in the north, led my Zhao army. But because of the relationship between Yan State, he couldn't go south for a long time. If you let the king's nephew, Liaochengjun, accept these cities. Then there is a buffer zone between my Zhao Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. ”
"In this way, on the one hand, I, Zhao State, can get the help of Liaochengjun's food, weapons and other military funds at any time; On the other hand, the northern army of our Zhao State, which is confronting the Yan State, can be used as a mobile force to reinforce our Handan at any time. ”
After Zhao Wangdan listened to the words of Ping Yuanjun and the veteran Lian Po, his face changed constantly.
Pingyuan Jun looked at Zhao Wang Dan and knew that King Zhao was reluctant to return the eight cities of Yan Kingdom.
Zhao Sheng stood up, bowed to King Zhao and said, "King, what Princess Weichenguan and Liaocheng Jun did was indeed for the sake of my Zhao Kingdom, and they had no other thoughts. ”
"Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being bold. For so many years, the princess and Liaocheng Jun have ever done anything sorry for my Zhao Kingdom? Have you done anything sorry for my king? ”
After listening to Pingyuanjun's words, Zhao Wangdan shook his head and said to Pingyuanjun Zhao Sheng:
"Pingyuanjun, the eldest sister and my nephew Liaochengjun, when my Zhao Kingdom was in trouble several times, after making requests, they did not hesitate to help. There is nothing to embarrass the king and the Zhao Kingdom! ”
Pingyuan Jun nodded, and continued to speak to King Zhao: "Your Majesty, as you said, the princess and Liaocheng Jun, every time when my Zhao Kingdom was in danger, under the pressure of the Yan Kingdom's court, they always lent a helping hand, and did not make it difficult for my king and my Zhao Kingdom. ”
"Now the princess has sent a letter, proposing to let me return the eight cities of Zhongyang and other cities to Liaodi. My king, think about it, the princess and Liaocheng Jun made it very clear in their letter that it was given to Liaocheng Jun, not to the Yanguo court. ”
"What is the purpose of what they are doing? I don't want to separate the border armies of China, Zhao and Yan, and don't cause military friction because of the confrontation. At present, for me Zhao Guo, as General Lian Po said just now, it is very important! ”
According to Weichen, this is also the kindness of the princess and Liaochengjun. King, think about it, Liaocheng Jun Caiyi is far away in Liaodi, in the past few years, the two countries have been destroyed, seven counties have been set up, and the west has been driven by Donghu, and there are nearly 200 cities under it, so I don't care at all, these eight cities in Zhongyang County. ”
"And the king, if I Zhao Guo gave the eight cities of Yan State occupied by me to the Liao Cheng Jun to manage. The northern army of my Zhao State was completely separated from the army of Yan State. ”
"And Liaocheng Jun doesn't want any property and jewelry from my Zhao Kingdom. It will also continue to pass through here to provide food, weapons and equipment, and these materials that our Zhao country urgently needs. ”
"Your Majesty, I, the Zhao Kingdom, used these eight cities of the original Yan Kingdom in exchange for the food and materials of the Liaocheng Jun. He also let the Zhao army in my north get out of contact with the Zhao army, and can go south to reinforce my Handan at any time. ”
"This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and it is also the princess and Liaocheng Jun, who love my Zhao Kingdom. Why don't I, the king, do it? The above is the foolish opinion of the ministers, please make my king's decision! ”
The veteran Lian Po also bowed down to Zhao Wangdan and said: "King, what Pingyuan Jun said is very true, and the old minister seconded it. ”
"As long as Liaocheng Jun can provide me with food, weapons and equipment, etc., my Zhao State is in short supply of military resources, so why should my Zhao State be afraid of Qin State! The minister will lead my Zhao army, defeat the Qin army, and relieve the king's worries. ”
Ji Kang's uncle, Zhao Wangdan, saw the leaders of the "Gong Family" and the "Buyi" faction above the court, and reached a consensus on this matter.
After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed with Zhao Sheng and Lian Po's opinion.
Immediately, Zhao Wangdan wrote two more letters to Ji Zhao and Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, asking them to be sent to Liaodi as soon as possible.
In the letter, Zhao Wangdan agreed with the opinions of Ji Zhao and Ji Kang.
Let Ji Kang send people to Handan as soon as possible to sign relevant agreements with Zhao Guo.
Zhao prepared to give Zhongyang City and the eight nearby cities to the Liao Prefecture for management. In exchange for Liaodi's help to Zhao State in terms of grain, weapons and equipment, etc., which were in urgent need. This has never been done in the history of Ji Kang's previous life.
Since Ji Kang came to this era, the history of the Central Plains, because of Ji Kang's existence, has finally undergone major changes.
Yan Guo and Zhao Guo's original attitude of mutual hatred was also different because of Ji Kang's existence.
