Chapter 34: Chaos (Part II)
Wei Wangyu dared to treat Liao Shan, the envoy of Yan State, like this, and said that he was not afraid of Yan State, which was confident.
Wei Wenhou, the ancestor of the Wei State, was the first to implement the reform of the law among the Seven Heroes of the Central Plains, reform politics, reward farming and warfare, build water conservancy, develop the feudal economy, destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom in the north (now Pingshan and Lingshou in western Hebei), and take the Qinxi River (now between the Yellow River and Luoshui) in the west, so he became the most powerful country in the early Warring States period.
In particular, during the Wenhou period, Wu Qi was activated, the military pawn system was adopted, and soldiers were selected for training, and a highly professional military force was established, which played an important role in the early prosperity of the Wei State, making the Wei State become the overlord of the world at that time.
In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Wei State, in the many confrontations between the Wei State and the Yan State, the Yan State has won fewer victories and lost more.
However, the geographical location of Wei determined the ultimate fate of Wei. During the period of its strength, Wei conquered the east and the west, offended the surrounding countries, and various countries attacked Wei one after another.
"Siege Wei to save Zhao", the battle of Maling, the joint attack on Qin, especially the battle of Yique between Qin, Wei and Han, the general of Qin, Bai Qi, annihilated more than 240,000 Han and Wei allied forces, captured Yique, and captured most of the area east of Anyi, the former capital of Wei.
Since then, most of the elite of Wei have lost, and they no longer have the strength to resist Qin alone, and half of the country's territory has been eaten up by Qin.
At this time, Wei Wangyu can be said to completely crush Yan Guo in terms of mentality.
For Liao Shan, the envoy sent by Yan State, he didn't care at all.
On the contrary, because of Liao Shan's rhetoric, Wei Wangyu was very unhappy, so he drove Liao Shan out of the main hall.
Liao Shan is also very angry! is very angry.
Since following Ji Kang to Liao, for more than ten years, Liao Shan has watched Yan Guo grow from small to big, from weak to strong.
Destroy Buyeo in the east, go south to the Kei country, build several counties in the north, and unify the land.
That heart is also old and high, old and high.
Especially after occupying Qi last year, the development of Yan has made the ministers of Yan think that they are very powerful, and they are the great powers of the world.
I didn't expect that in the process of envoying to the Wei State, Liao Shan could not be angry with this treatment?
Seeing the appearance of Wei Wangyu in the court, Shangqing Lingzhi, who was familiar with the current situation of Yan State, was a little worried.
stepped forward and bowed to Wei Wangyu and said:
"Your Majesty, just as Yan envoy Liao Shan said just now, after my Wei State occupies the Wei State, the Yan State will definitely not give up. Please forgive the minister for saying bluntly, if the Yan State sends troops to attack, our Wei State can be said to be difficult to support alone. ”
"Great King, now that my Wei State can follow the example of Yan State to occupy Qi, it is better to ...... It is better for the Wei State to hand over the occupied land of Qicheng (now Puyang City, Henan Province) in the eastern part of the Wei State to the Zhao State. In this way, my Wei State will not have to face the Yan State alone. ”
Although Wei Wangyu is not afraid of Yan State mentally, he also knows that the national strength of Yan State at this time is not trivial.
Besides, after he killed the monarch of the country, he was morally untenable.
Seeing Shangqing Lingzhi's suggestion, after thinking about it for a while, he said to Lingzhi:
"Good. Let's do it. ”
Liao Shan, the minister of rites, who was on his way back to Yan Kingdom, didn't know.
Just when he was in the palace of King Wei, he was arguing with King Wei about defending the country. In the military aircraft pavilion of Jidu, the capital of Yan State, Ji Kang and several ministers of Jidu were also discussing the matter of Wei Guo's occupation.
Changguo Junlejian was also appointed by Ji Kang as the minister of Yan at this time to assist Rong Yan in charge of Yan State's military affairs.
In addition to Ji Kang and several cabinet ministers, there were also Ji Mao, president of the Supervision Yuan, and Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau.
Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau, stood next to the map in front of the inner wall of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, holding a baton and pointing to the map, and was introducing the current forms of the Central Plains countries to Yan Wangkang and others attending the meeting.
"After Wei occupied Wei this time, according to the intelligence officers of our Central Plains countries, none of the countries made a statement, and they are all waiting to see how our Yan State will deal with this matter?"
"Now, the Qin State has stopped its invasion of the surrounding countries, and the army has withdrawn to Hangu Pass. After Qin Prime Minister Cai Ze returned to Qin from Wei, someone in the court of Qin was slandered, Cai Ze was afraid of being killed, so he sent Xiangyin back on the pretext of illness, and was given the title of "Gangchengjun" by King Yingji of Qin. ”
"What? Tsunade Jun? The prime minister jumped up.
"Yes, King Yingji of Qin gave Cai Ze as the king of Gangchengjun." Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau, said truthfully.
Ji Kang's eyes narrowed, and he didn't speak.
The old manager Ji Mao sat on the chair and said slowly:
"Gangcheng is the land of my Yan Kingdom, it seems that the Qin State currently wants to be unfavorable to my Yan Kingdom."
Gao Yang Junrong snorted coldly:
"He just wants to be detrimental to my Yan Kingdom, what can he do? Could it be that he wants the Qin army to expedition to my Yan country? ”
Ji Kang laughed, waved his hand, and said to everyone in the pavilion:
"King Qin Yingji can seal it as much as he wants! I, Yan Guo, won't give Cai Ze half a copper coin. ”
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.
Huang Yong also laughed and continued to introduce the forms of each country to everyone.
"Zhao sent the veteran general Lian Po to gather 50,000 troops and display them on the border of Zhao and Wei, but I don't know how Zhao operates? At present, Korea obeys the Qin State in everything, and there are no major propositions. ”
"Since the Battle of Suiyang last year, the state of Chu has also mobilized a large army to display on the border of Chu and Wei to guard against the invasion of Wei. Your Majesty, Ministers of Ministers, this is the general situation of the countries of the Central Plains at present. ”
Ji Kang said to Huang Yong: "Director Huang, the intelligence bureau personnel in various countries have worked hard, you can sit down." ”
"Thank you, my king." Huang Yong bowed to Ji Kang, put down the baton, and returned to his position.
Now the court of the Yan State does not know that the Wei State is preparing to dedicate the eastern part of the Wei State to the Zhao State to block the Yan State's troops.
Changguo Junle couldn't help but say: "It's rare that Zhao Guo also wants to share a piece of the pie?" ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't have to be stunned.
Prime Minister Su Dai, who was familiar with the situation of Zhao State, frowned, and said to Ji Kangyan:
"Your Majesty, Zhao has long coveted the defense of the country, if Wei is willing to divide the land of the defense of the country into the Zhao country, let the Zhao country get the land of the defense of the country in vain. The minister thought that Zhao Guo would agree, and in this regard, my Yan State had to guard against it. ”
Everyone's eyes were on Ji Kang.
Ji Kang also knows what everyone thinks, Zhao Wangdan is Ji Kang's uncle and the younger brother of the Queen Mother Ji Zhao.
How this Yan State handles the relationship with Zhao State is also a test of Ji Kang's political wisdom.
Ji Kang didn't answer Su Dai's words immediately, and turned his head to look at the two people who had not yet spoken.
"Drama Xiang, Su Xiang, you two can also talk about your thoughts."
Su Yu stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said:
"Your Majesty, whether it is Zhao or Wei, as long as it occupies the Wei State, my Yan State can justifiably ask it to withdraw from the Wei State. However, the minister thinks, how to operate the matter of defending the country? It still needs to be carefully considered by our Yan Kingdom, and it cannot be dealt with recklessly. ”
Ju Xin also stood up and said to Ji Kang Shili: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what country occupies the land of defending the country, he will not be able to escape. At this time, our Yan country should also adhere to the national policy formulated by our Yan country last year, recuperate and recuperate, and do not raise troops this year. ”
"Weiguo is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it does not border our Yan country. If my Yan Kingdom rashly sends troops, it can be said that it will affect the whole body, and it will inevitably cause a series of reactions from the Central Plains countries, which will be unfavorable to my Yan Kingdom. ”
"As long as my Yan country has passed this year, its national strength will inevitably reach a new level. Just as Su Xiang said just now, for my Yan country, no matter which country occupies it, my Yan country can justifiably crusade at any time, because he is the vassal state of my Yan country. ”
After listening to everyone's words, Ji Kang's eyes lit up.
Haha laughed, stood up and said to everyone: "Yes! Weiguo is the vassal state of my Yan country, and the national seal, household registration, and Kanyu atlas of Weiguo are all in my Yan country. My Yan country can justify the name at any time and send troops to defend the country. ”
"Now, judging from the situation of various countries, the annexation of various countries has reached the end, and the general trend of unification of the world is unstoppable. If I don't launch the Yan Kingdom, once it is launched, few people think that it will continue for several years until it is unified. ”
"I have a lot of things going on in Yanguo now, and the water conservancy project of the two rivers, Zhou Zi and Zheng Guo have reached the final stage, but it will take two or three months. The roads and many other constructions in the counties have not yet been completed, and they will not be completed until the end of the year. ”
"The matter of defending the country, my Yan Kingdom is not in a hurry, wait a minute! After the autumn harvest, I, Yan Kingdom, will see what the situation in the world is. But next year, my Yan Kingdom will definitely have to take action......"
Speaking of this, Ji Kang didn't say any more, turned around and asked the generals Rong Yan and Le Jian:
"General Rong, General Le, is the costume change of my Yan army over? How is the combat effectiveness? ”
Rong Yan and Le Jian looked at each other, Rong Yan stood up, bowed down and said to Ji Kangyan:
"My king, the fourth, fifth, and sixth armies have all been redressed, and they are stepping up training in new cavalry tactics. The Third Army of the Navy is also fully equipped, and is ready to wait for the edict of our king. ”
Ji Kang didn't say anything more, and slowly walked to the map of the Military Machine Pavilion and looked at the Central Plains countries on the map.
After a while, Ji Kang turned to the crowd:
"Before the end of the year, all the construction of our Yan country will be completed. The regular army, including the reserve forces of all counties and counties, must be equipped and trained. ”
The important ministers of the Yan Kingdom in the Military Aircraft Pavilion all understood the meaning of Ji Kang's words at this time.
stood up together, bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "The ministers obey the edict." ”
