Chapter 30: The Eastward Strategy (I)

The coffin of Kubida's corpse, which was sent to Xiangping City, did not stop in Xiangping City. Ji Kang didn't even bother to look at it, so he sent someone to send the coffin containing Kubida's body to Jidu. Specifically, his grandfather King Wucheng, who was in Jidu, how to deal with the corpse of Donghu Shan Yu Kubida, Ji Kang didn't even ask.

The two sides have fought for hundreds of years, and the two or three thousand long Great Wall built by Yan is mainly to defend against the Xiongnu, Donghu and other nomadic peoples. The blood feud between the two sides has long been deep-rooted.

The Liaodi army stationed outside Wangping City led by Rong Yi was not disbanded by the order of Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, but was only allowed to stand by in Wangping to rest.

Subsequently, Wang Shi, the general of Pi stationed in Fanhan, was ordered by the Junhou Mansion to let his deputy general An Min lead a small number of troops to garrison Fanhan to monitor the outside of Ji, and the rest of the troops were transferred to Ancheng.

This series of transfers is extraordinary, and many officials in Liaodi have realized that their little prince is angry and is about to get angry! Because at the court meeting at the beginning of this month, the little prince said such a sentence: "Come and don't be rude!" ”

What to do when you come down, this discerning person knows it! That's it! My Liaodi is good, and I didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, and you countries are too disagreeable, and you actually want to destroy my Liaodi. I wanted to be bullied when I was a child, didn't I? If you don't fight back, don't say that our little prince is uncomfortable, even if we are uncomfortable!

The officials were extremely excited, but they didn't dare to ask too much. Before the military plan was executed, why do you ask this? Do you think that the Supervision Yuan and the Intelligence Bureau established by the little prince are vegetarians!

It was in mid-June that I got the news after the decisive battle between the Liaodi army and the Donghu army. Ancheng County Ling Anyuan was called to the study by his father to discuss relevant matters.

"Yuan'er, now Donghu Dan was killed by our Liao army in Kublai answer, this news will be true, do you have any opinion on this?" An Zhi looked at his son and said slowly.

After An Yuan listened to his father's words, he sighed for a long time: "I think that Donghu has invaded our country and Yan country many times for hundreds of years. And my country and Yan are helpless, but now Kublai is only killed by the Liao army, which is embarrassing! ”

An Zhi frowned slightly, and said to An Yuan: "Yuan'er, now you are an official of Liaodi, and Ancheng also belongs to Liaodi. If you say that Anguryeo is our country, this is inappropriate! ”

An Yuan was taken aback, bowed down to his father and said, "My son made a mistake, thank you father for reminding me!" Since then, my son will pay attention to it and never commit this taboo again! ”

An Zhi nodded and said to An Yuan: "Ji Kang, the son of Liaocheng Jun, although he is young, he has always been despised. But for my father to carefully observe what he did after coming to Liaodi, after thinking about it, it is extremely terrifying! ”

stood up and said slowly: "Since the prince came to this Liaodi, he has recruited people, cultivated acres, built roads and bridges, and established industries, which is the foundation of the foundation; Later, he recruited wise men and generals, promoted officials and generals, and established Xiangping College, which is the foundation of the people. Next, the law was rectified and the military system was changed.

What Gongzi Ji Kang did in Liaodi is very far-reaching! Yuan'er, what do you think this means? Who has done this since ancient times? ”

Looking at his son An Yuan's pondering state, An Zhi sighed slightly, didn't wait for him to answer, and said: "Yuan'er, Gongzi Ji Kang's approach is the practice of his ancestors King Wen and King Wu!" And what you do in Liaodi is the foundation of the country!

I look at my son Ji Kang, he has great ambitions! Now, it is a great defeat of the troops of Goguryeo and Donghu, and there is a trend of unifying the two places, and the future is limitless.

For the sake of my home, after I take refuge in Liaodi, we must not waver and be half-hearted. Not only that, but we also need to use our influence in Anguryeo to actively help Gongzi Ji Kang. In this way, it is my long-term plan to settle down! ”

An Yuan was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to understand, and bowed to his father An Zhi and said, "Thank you father for your advice, my son knows what to do." We can send letters to Goguryeo and other people close to me to help me in Liaodi. ”

An Zhi nodded with relief and said, "Yuan'er, after this matter is done, when there are results, you can inform Gongzi Ji Kang." I think that the son is smart and will understand what we mean, and I will be rewarded for settling down. ”

Sure enough, after Anzhi and Anyuan and other Ancheng officials wrote letters to Goguryeo and other places close to familiar people. Many local officials in Goguryeo, seeing this situation, also secretly replied to the letter to express goodwill to the Liaodi.

When Ji Kang learned about this in Xiangping City, he was immediately overjoyed. recruited An Zhi to the Prince's Mansion in Xiangping City, appointed An Zhi as the doctor of the Ministry of Officials, and gave him a second-class baron; An Yuan is still the commander of Ancheng County and is given a third-class baron.

In late June, Xiangping College, Zou Yan's residence, study.

When Lu Zhonglian came to Zou Yan's study, Zou Yan was looking at the map on the table, analyzing the meaning behind Ji Kang's series of orders. After seeing Lu Zhonglian arrive, he was overjoyed: "Brother Zhonglian, what is the intention of Kang'er's series of orders?" ”

Lu Zhonglian looked at his old friend and chuckled, "What are you anxious about?" If nothing else, Kang'er will summon us to a meeting at the Prince's Mansion in the next two days. At that time, you will naturally understand. ”

Zou Yan shook his head and said, "Brother Zhonglian, I see everything Kang'er has done, like attacking Donghu or Goguryeo. I'm worried that our army has just gone through months of fierce fighting, and the sergeants are tired and have made a mistake! ”

Lu Zhonglian laughed out loud and unfolded the map on Zou Yan's desk. Pointing to Goguryeo on the map, he said to Zou Yan: "If I'm not mistaken, it's not to attack Donghu, but to attack Goguryeo." ”

"Ahh Zou Yan was a little surprised.

Lu Zhonglian said: "Brother Zou Yan, although Kang'er is young, she is very open-minded!" This Liaodong War shows how amazing Kang'er's overall operation is! The old man secretly admires it! And in my opinion, now is the right time to attack Goguryeo. ”

Seeing that Zou Yan was still confused, he explained: "Brother Zou Yan, now the 120,000 troops of Goguryeo have been captured by our Liaodi, and there are as many as 100,000. It can be said that the elite of the whole country has been annihilated by our Liaodi, and now the country is extremely empty.

In addition, in this battle in Liaodong, the losses of our Liaodi are not very large, and they have now rested and replenished. After passing this big battle, the morale of the army is currently high. That's why I say that now is the right time to attack Goguryeo. ”

Then he paused and continued to Zou Yan: "Brother Zou Yan, Kang'er has a sentence that is very right - come and not be rude!" Although the Three Kingdoms invaded Liao, although it failed, our soldiers and civilians in Liao also suffered nearly 30,000 casualties.

If you don't fight back, how can you explain this to the people? How do you explain to the soldiers of the army? Since I have this ability, I have to fight back fiercely to deter those who try to take advantage of my Liaodi in the future! ”

Zou Yan understood, nodded, and said to Lu Zhonglian: "Brother Zhonglian, I only understood when I heard you say this." It is true that it should be fought back, and it should be fought back hard. Otherwise, Kang'er's prestige will be greatly damaged, this is not good! ”

Lu Zhonglian not only rolled his eyes, but his old friend was usually easy to say anything. But as long as it comes to Ji Kang, it's different. If you dare to damage Ji Kang's interests, this old friend will do his best!

Since the end of the Liaodong Campaign, since Ji Kang came to this world, the originally vague strategy in his mind has become very clear. After taking into account the situation of various aspects, the decision was made to implement it.

Liaodi in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, although it is summer. But compared to the people of the Central Plains countries, it is much better. It is very hot in the middle of the day, but in the evening, the temperature cools down and there are few mosquitoes.

June 25, Xiangping City, Junhou Mansion, Military Pavilion.

Ji Kang, Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Ji Mao are holding an important meeting on the future strategic direction of Liaodi.

Ji Mao took a copy of the intelligence bureau director Huang Yong and sent back from Goguryeo: "Son, my lords, with the defeat of the Goguryeo army in Anseong, now, the people of Goguryeo are panicking.

And after seeing the border of our Liaodi army Chen Bing, many Goguryeo officials privately sent letters to our Liaodi, expressing their willingness to submit to our Liaodi. I think that the decision made by Gongzi now is the right one, and it is the right time to attack Goguryeo. ”

Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian had already agreed on their opinions, and they both nodded in support of them.

Jun Xiangju Xin slapped the table and said to Ji Kang: "Son, now my Liaodi finances are not difficult. On the contrary, because of the capture of a large amount of military funds from Goguryeo and Donghu, the grain and grass were more abundant.

Since Gongzi has made up his mind to take Goguryeo in one fell swoop, Lao Chen is willing to tighten his belly and give his full support. The old minister also thought that this was the best time to attack Goguryeo. ”

This time the Three Kingdoms war against Liao also provoked the old man's drama Xin. When the war was tense, he reported to Ji Kang several times that he wanted to go to the front line. But after thinking about it again, Ji Kang didn't agree.

Ji Kang saw that several important ministers under him did not hesitate to support him, nodded and said: "Gentlemen, Uncle Ji, it can't be said that we have no difficulties, from April to June, when all the troops were mobilized, the soldiers were also tired, so I let them rest for nearly a month.

But now is a world of great contention, and we have no other choice but to stabilize our Liaodong region as soon as possible. Even if I feel sorry for them again, but others come to beat us, and we don't fight back, this is not my way of doing it. ”

After thinking about it, he stood up and walked over to the map hanging on the wall of the military pavilion.

He took a baton from the side, pointed to Donghu on the map, and said in a young and crisp voice: "Donghu, we are not in a hurry, most of their tribal leaders and many strong young men were either killed in battle or captured by us.

We did not kill them, but let them be re-educated through labor according to the regulations of our Liaodi. And ask them to write a letter to their families informing them of their current situation. At present, I have sent Huang Yong to personally lead people to the various tribes of Donghu to carry messages to them, so that they can continue to communicate with us, continue to trade, and publicize the policies of our Liaodi, so that the people of these tribes should not be afraid.

Therefore, most of the Donghu tribes in the southeast of Donghu are now waiting. But even so, I heard that there were still a few tribes that fled to the western part of the border with the Xiongnu or to the northern part of Donghu, and did not dare to stay in the southern and eastern regions of Donghu. This is for fear that we will fight over! ”

When they heard this, they all burst out laughing.
