Chapter 44: National Policy (II)
After listening to the speeches of the six cabinet ministers, Ji Kang did not immediately express his position.
He picked up the porcelain cup on the table again and took a sip.
The six ministers in the cabinet didn't speak, they all looked at Ji Kang together, and saw what Ji Kang's final decision was?
Ji Kang sank his heart, and asked the six ministers again:
"Since my Yan Kingdom has decided to enter the Central Plains, where will our Yan Kingdom break through?"
At this time, the six cabinet ministers such as Ju Xin and Su Belly did not hesitate at all, and said in unison: "Qi Guo." ”
This answer was expected by Ji Kang.
But there must be a final consensus and everyone will work together to finalize the matter.
Because except for Lu Zhonglian, the other five people present were once the decision-makers and participants in the attack on Qi during the period of King Yan Zhao, Ji Kang's great-grandfather.
For the battle of Yan State Expedition 28 years ago, everyone can be said to be unforgettable.
Can it not be unforgettable?
The State of Qi was beaten by the State of Yan to the point that there were only two cities left, and as a result, the State of Qi was able to "turn over".
Of course, the six ministers present don't know the term salted fish turning over.
Ji Kang asked again, "What is it?" ”
Old Mr. Su Dai stood up first and said to Ji Kang: "Your Highness, my Yan Kingdom is south of Qi and Zhao. After the Qi family usurped the throne from the Tian clan, they repeatedly invaded our Yan country, occupied our cities, and slaughtered the people of our Yan country, and the two sides can be described as a deep blood feud. ”
"Whenever the Qi Kingdom is in danger of my Yan Kingdom, it has not once spared my Yan Kingdom. The danger of the death of my Yan country several times originated from the Qi country. During the period of King Yan, the Qi Kingdom invaded our Yan Kingdom and almost slaughtered the people of our Yan royal family. ”
"May I ask all the ministers here, I, the people of Jidu, which family's relatives have not been killed by the Qi State? Which family's property has not been plundered by the Qi State? It was Su Qin, the brother of the minister, who was also killed by the king of Qi. ”
"What's more, since the time of King Zhaoxian, Zhanqi has been set as a national policy by my Yan Kingdom. The state of Qi is located on the peninsula in the eastern part of the Central Plains, with fertile land and many rich people. If my Yan country occupies it, it can nourish my Yan country and make my Yan country want to be stronger. ”
"If you don't occupy Qi, my Yan country will go north to attack Hu or attack other countries. According to the past practice of the Qi country, it will definitely send troops to attack our Yan country, so that our Yan country will be difficult to take care of. General Rong Gan, you should be deeply touched by this, right? ”
The general Rong Yan couldn't help but nodded.
Can you not feel it? His name as the "runaway general" was given by Qi Guotiandan!
Su Dai paused, then folded his hands, bowed down to Ji Kangyan and said:
"Your Highness, the battle of Qi is the first thing for my Yan country, please ask Your Highness to decide."
The other five ministers stood up together at this time and said to Ji Kang: "The ministers seconded the proposal." Please let Your Highness decide. ”
Ji Kang slowly stood up and came to the map hanging on the wall of the Military Aircraft Pavilion.
His eyes were fixed on the border between Yan and Qi for a long time.
After a long while, Ji Kang turned around and walked slowly in the pavilion.
"Yes! At present, the two countries of Yan and Qi are not only the blood feud in the world, but also the biggest obstacle to the development and growth of our Yan country. As Su Xiang said, whenever our Yan country is in trouble, the Qi country will definitely attack my Yan country, which is a great threat to my Yan country. ”
"This is a fierce tiger next to my Yan Kingdom's couch! At any time, you may come up and bite my Yan Kingdom, and you will want my Yan Kingdom's life! I'm next to the couch of Yan Guo, how can I allow this tiger to watch? ”
Returning to the main seat, Ji Kang sat down.
To everyone: "Ministers, speaking of which, my Yan Kingdom is ashamed!" It is said to be one of the top seven in the world, but turning over the history of our Yan Kingdom, in the duel with the Central Plains countries, except for the period of King Zhaoxian, my Yan Kingdom shook the world. In the rest of the wars, my Yan Kingdom has more defeats and fewer victories! ”
Six ministers such as Ju Xin, Su belly, and Lu Zhonglian, including Han Fei and Ju Wu who were recorded.
Hearing Ji Kang say this, his face showed embarrassment.
Isn't it? The history of the Yan Kingdom is like this.
Ji Kang's words continued to ring in everyone's ears: "All the ministers of the cabinet have said that my Yan Kingdom should be defeated in the coming year. But my Yan Kingdom must take into account, will the princes of the world come to the aid of Qi State and attack my Yan Kingdom at that time? ”
When everyone heard Ji Kang say this, their hearts were all in shock.
I couldn't help but bow my head and start thinking.
At this time, Ju Xin stood up, and Du Ji Kang said:
"Your Highness, this matter is not impossible! Now, Qi and Qin are allies, and if our Yan State invades Qi, Qin will definitely save it. But His Royal Highness should not worry too much, the Qin State is far away to save Qi, and it needs to pass through Han and Wei, and the Qin State is also beyond the reach of the whip. ”
Mr. Lu Zhonglian smiled slightly at this time, stood up and said to Ji Kang:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Qin Xiang Fan Ju's strategy of "long-distance friendship and close attack" can be used by the Qin State, and my Yan State should also use it. ”
After that, Mr. Lu Zhonglian sat down and said nothing.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Lu Zhonglian and the old dean Zou Yan, who stayed in Xiangping, are both from Qi State.
Now it is already good to be able to agree with Yan Guo to cut Qi now.
If there is more to say on the issue of attacking the Qi State, the reputation above the history will not be good.
In this regard, everyone here, including Ji Kang, can understand.
Yan Xiangsu stood up and said to Ji Kang:
"The prince, the art of war: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of survival, must not be ignored." Youyun: "Go to the army to fight, then cut the enemy, and then attack the army, and then attack the city." The strategy of "long-distance and close attack" is good! It should be the national policy of my Yan country. ”
Ju Xin also stood up and said to Ji Kang:
"Your Highness, Su Xiang's words are reasonable. Now Fan Ju is seeking the six countries of Kanto for Qin, and he is trying to dominate the world with the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack". It is no exaggeration to say that this policy should indeed be regarded as the established national policy of our Yan country. ”
"In the current situation of the six countries, Han and Wei are the weakest, but my Yan is beyond the reach of the whip; secondly, the national strength of Chu, Qi, and Zhao is comparable; Again, it is no exaggeration to say that today, our Yan State and Qin State are the strongest in national strength. ”
"Since the battles of Changping and Handan, Zhao has been beheaded or captured by Qin more than 90,000 soldiers this year, and its national strength has declined, coupled with its friendship with our Yan State, my Yan State can not consider its assistance to Qi State."
"Since the invasion of Lu by the Chu State in the summer of this year, the Lu land occupied by the Chu State has not yet been calm, and it has deployed troops on the border of the Fei State. Looking at this, the state of Chu has the intention of annexing the country of Fei. If our Yan State sends an envoy to the Chu State, befriends with Chu, and acquiesces that the Chu State occupies the Lu State and the Fei State, the Chu State will not interfere with our Yan State and conquer Qi. ”
"As for Wei and Han, they are facing the threat of Qin first, and they will not come to the aid of Qin's ally, Qi. But my Yan State should also send an envoy with a lot of money to make friends with it, so that the two countries will not come to the aid of the two countries. ”
"The Qin State cannot be denied, it is the country that is most likely to send troops to aid Qi, and my Yan State should be able to prevent it. But last month, the Qin State sent an envoy to my Yan Kingdom to meet His Royal Highness, saying that the two countries of Yan and Qin should repair the alliance, and the prince also agreed to come down at that time. In the minister's opinion, this is a brilliant strategy. I, the Yan State, can also send an envoy to the Qin State to say that the two countries are friendly and alliance, and delay the Qin State to aid Qi. ”
"This is the minister's foolish opinion, please make a decision on it Your Highness."
The affairs of Yan's diplomacy are under the control of Prime Minister Su Dai.
Mr. Su Dai, when everyone said that they were going to carry out diplomatic work, they were very excited.
This is my specialty, and it's my favorite!
immediately stood up and said to Ji Kang:
"Your Highness, the ministers are willing to go to various countries in person to lobby their monarchs and ministers so that they cannot come to the aid of Qi, so as to help our Yan country conquer Qi."
Yaqing also stood up and said to Ji Kang:
"Your Highness, the minister is also willing to work with Su Xiang to send envoys to the Central Plains to help Su Xiang."
The general Rong Yan stood up and said to Ji Kang:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the tiger pounces on food, and you should use all your strength. Now that the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north pose little threat to me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should transfer the elite first and second armies of the northern land of our Yan Kingdom, one of which will go south and join the battle of Vaqi in the coming year. ”
Ji Kang saw that everyone in the pavilion was very excited, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
This is a damn time!
Now that you've decided to cut down next year, don't hesitate in the slightest!
Although I am very confident in the current Yan Kingdom, I must be cautious!
Ji Kang didn't answer everyone right away, but stood up again and came to the map in front of the wall.
Looking at the map of the Central Plains in front of him, Ji Kang was full of emotion.
It's started, is it really going to start?
Yes, it's about to start. My map of Huaxia should not be so small, he should at least be a maple leaf-shaped, and at least it should be a big rooster standing in the east and proud of the world!
Ji Kang turned around and walked in the hall as he slowly said loudly:
"Today, the crowd is competing for the deer. The war is not endless, and the people are struggling to make a living. All the people of the world want to return to the Holy Lord. The general trend of the unification of the world is irreversible. ”
"Now today's son has been martyred, but my Yan Kingdom is the authentic bloodline of the Zhou family, and I should inherit the legacy of my Ji ancestors, sweep Liuhe, and dominate the world."
"It can't be denied, except for my Yan Kingdom, there are many promising ministers in the other six countries who know the general trend of the world! There are many brave and good generals! My Yan country should not be underestimated by any country. ”
"In the future, the national policy of our Yan country is the policy of "long-distance friendship and close attack". For the promising ministers and brave and warlike people of the other six countries, our Yan country should buy them with a lot of money; If the purchase fails, it should be removed from the use room so that it will not become an obstacle to my Yan country; In the end, the army of our Yan Kingdom can be cut down. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Kang turned around and said to everyone: "I have made up my mind, and I will fight against Yan in the coming year." ”
The six ministers in the cabinet stood up together and said to Ji Kang: "Follow Your Highness's order." ”
Ji Kang nodded, and said to Su Dai and Jiang Qu:
"Su Xiang, General Xiang, you two work hard, and lead people to the Central Plains countries. Carry a lot of money to lobby the monarchs and ministers of various countries, so that all countries will not become an obstacle to our Yan country's war. Including the Qi State, they should also send people to carry heavy money and divide their monarchs and ministers. As for how it works? The two of you will decide on it. ”
Su Dai and Jiang Qu bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”
Ji Kang turned his gaze to the general Rong Yan again, and said:
"General Rong, what you just said is extremely true. The tiger pounces on the food, when with all his strength. It is proposed to order the second army of Yuyang Zuozong to lead the army south and garrison Wuyang County, so as to prepare the army for my southward army in the coming year, just in case. Ordered the Rongyan Department of Shanggu County to send troops to garrison Yuyang, together with the reserve army to prevent the Xiongnu and Donghu. ”
Rong Yan stood up, bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
Ji Kang finally looked at Ji Xin, Su Belly, and Lu Zhonglian, and said:
"Drama Xiang, Su Xiang, Lu Xiang, the three of you must ensure the people's livelihood and economy of our Yan Kingdom, as well as organize the reserve army, supply the food, grass, military funds and other matters of the front-line army. As for how to do it well? The three of you will decide on it. ”
The three of them, including Ji Xin, Su Belly, and Lu Zhong, also bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”
