Chapter 48: The Post-War Situation

In the twelfth year of King Wucheng, in mid-September, the Qin and Zhao armies, which had been facing each other in the Shangdang area for three years, finally the Qin army in Changping, annihilated the 450,000 troops of the Zhao army at the cost of 250,000 casualties.

After the Qin army occupied the seventeen counties of Shangdang, the flames of war that had been burning in the Shangdang area for three years finally subsided.

October 3, Liaodi Junhou Mansion, Military Pavilion.

Huang Yong, the director of the intelligence bureau, gave a detailed report on the final results of the Battle of Changping to the prince Ji Kang, the four ministers of Liaodi, and the general Rong Yan present.

Huang Yong finally added to everyone: "After the Battle of Changping, according to our intelligence officers in Xianyang, at that time, King Yingji of Qin was in the court and said to the ministers of Qin that the whole world will belong to Qin in the future. ”

"In addition, according to the reports of my intelligence officers in the Central Plains countries, the Central Plains countries are now panicking, and many people think that there is no other country in the future that can stop the Qin State's conquest."

Everyone frowned slightly, and Ji Kang narrowed his eyes, but didn't say anything.

After listening to Huang Yong's words, the general Rong Yan smiled coldly and said, "This world belongs to the Qin State?" This King of Qin has a big breath. He didn't ask me if the people of Liaodi were willing to submit to the Qin State? Didn't you ask me about the Liaodi army, do you agree with his statement? ”

The old dean, Zou Yan, also laughed and said: "King Qin, you are so arrogant and arrogant, you can't live forever, and you will bring about your own destruction." Why did he say that this world belonged to his Qin State? Is it just because of the defeat of Zhao State? However, after the Battle of Changping, the situation in the world has changed. We have to get ready. ”

Lu Zhonglian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Ji Kang: "Childe, we need to accumulate more strength in Liaodi, and we must speed up the pace of our conquest!" It is necessary to take Minokuni and Samhan as soon as possible as planned, and this can no longer be delayed. ”

The drama nodded and said to Ji Kang: "Son, now that the autumn harvest in my Liaodi is coming to an end this year, according to the current statistics, the four counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, Liaobei, and Jilin have had a bumper harvest of grain, and the output has far exceeded that of last year. The construction of the three new county cities of Xing'an, Heihe, and Xingdong is also nearing completion, and I have no worries about the future. ”

The old manager Ji Mao also stood up, nodded to Huang Yong, and then bowed to Ji Kang and said: "Childe, since some time ago, the Supervision Yuan and the Intelligence Bureau have collectively taken action against the unstable forces and factors in our Liaodi, and Zhu Cong, the former lord of Goguryeo, has died of illness. The old slave can guarantee that now there are no major unstable forces and factors in my entire Liaodi. ”

After listening to everyone's words, Ji Kang stood up, walked to the map of the Kingdom of Ji and Sanhan hanging on the wall of the Military Pavilion, looked at it for a moment, and said to everyone: "As President Lu Zhonglian said, it is indeed necessary to speed up the pace of our conquest of Liaodi. After the country of Ji invaded our Liaodi, there has been no apology or compensation until now. Could it be that with nearly 30,000 innocent casualties among the soldiers and civilians in our Liaodi, it is so easy for the blood feud to pass? ”

Speaking of this, the hand of the young prince focused on the map of the Ji Kingdom, and said loudly to everyone: "Since this is the case, take him down for me." ”

Then he turned around and said to everyone: "Huang Yong, order the personnel of the Intelligence Bureau to find out all the military deployments and military distribution of the Mini Kingdom and Samhan as soon as possible. General Rong ordered five corps of our Liaodi army, each of which had two divisions, and one division was left to garrison the local garrison. ”

"All the troops that have been drawn will gradually assemble in the vicinity of Fanhan and Anseong, and must be assembled before the end of November, and then start winter training,"

"Drama, you are responsible for arranging all the military rations and baggage, and the reserve forces of all counties and counties are also stepping up training, and they must cooperate with the local garrisons and take on the garrison tasks of each county and county; Dean Zou Yan and Dean Lu Zhonglian, the two of you are responsible for doing a good job in the propaganda work of our Liaodi, and you should give more publicity to the invasion of the Ji Kingdom into our Liaodi and the cruelty of the people in our Liaodi. ”

"Uncle Ji, continue to increase the elimination of all unstable factors in my Liaodi; Order the navy to prepare for landing in the rear of the Mini country and enter the war next year. ”

After a pause, he slowly said to everyone: "At the beginning of March next year, my Liao must attack the Kingdom of Ji and Sanhan, and I will personally participate." ”

The general Rong Yan and everyone were shocked, looked at each other, and wanted to persuade.

Ji Kang waved his hand, stopped everyone's persuasion, and said to everyone: "I won't interfere in military operations, but it's time for me to see the battlefield." Isn't there more than four months to go! I'll be well prepared, too. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Jun Xiangju Xin said to Ji Kang: "Childe, since you are going to the front line, we must have someone by your side." ”

Ji Kang smiled, thought for a while, and said to everyone: "Since this is the case, let Mr. Lu accompany me to the front line!" You, Dean Zou Yan and Uncle Ji stayed in the rear. In this way, my heart is also steady. ”

After listening to Ji Kang's words, everyone nodded together.

When everyone left, Ji Kang stopped the old manager Ji Mao and Huang Yong of the Intelligence Bureau, and said to the old manager Ji Mao: "Let people inform them when they are in the navy, let Shi Dang and Tian Guang rush back as soon as possible." ”

The old manager Ji Mao replied: "No." ”

Then, he turned to Huang Yong and said, "Director Huang, I have a letter here, you can arrange for someone to send it to Handan as soon as possible and hand it over to Lord Su Dai, there must be no mistake." And tell Lord Su Dai that after this matter is completed, you can come to Liaodi, and I will celebrate with him. ”

Huang Yong hurriedly bowed down and said to Ji Kang, "No." ”

After everyone left, Ji Kang turned around and walked to the map in front of the wall. Looking at the Mini country on the map, as his gaze gradually moved south, he slowly turned to the west, and then finally fell on the location of the Central Plains.

After looking at it for a long time, he muttered softly, "Let's start!" ”

Su Dai in Handan, after receiving the letter sent by Ji Kang, read it carefully several times. said to the Liaodi intelligence officer who sent the letter: "If you go back and inform Gongzi, you will say that Su Dai will obey the order." ”

The intelligence officer bowed and said, "No." ”

After the intelligence officer of this Liao region left, Su Dai read the letter again, and then burned it. Then, he muttered softly: "Pay attention to Lou Chang; Go to the state of Qin to negotiate peace; lobbied Qin Xiang Fan Sui; Do you provoke the contradiction between Fan Sui and Bai Qi? ”

After occupying the entire Shangdang, Qin's army was also unable to expand eastward because of heavy casualties. Wu Anjun, the general of the Qin State, rose from the white and wrote to the Qin King Yingji, and the army of the Qin State was ready to take a temporary rest in Shangdang for a period of time, taking advantage of the current emptiness of the domestic forces of the Zhao State, and preparing to completely destroy the Zhao State.

After reading Bai Qi's letter, Qin Wang Yingji handed the silk in his hand to Qin Xiang Fan Sui and said: "Xiangguo, although my Qin army has annihilated the 450,000 army of the Zhao army this time. But our army also suffered 25 casualties, which is equally heavy! In this way, if you can't take Handan as soon as possible, the widow is very unwilling! ”

After Fan Sui read Wu Anjun's letter, he nodded, and said to King Yingji of Qin: "King, in Wu Anjun's letter, it was mentioned that we should let our army rest for a period of time, and Weichen thought it was right. In addition to what Wang Shang just said, our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and our army was indeed too tired after three years of confrontation with Zhao Jun in Shangdang. ”

King Qin nodded and said to Fan Sui: "Send someone to Wu Anjun to send a letter!" Let's just say that our army's suggestion that the party should rest for three months was approved. ”

Fan Sui bowed and said, "No." ”

On October 8, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, the main hall of the Dragon Palace.

The news that the Qin army had killed more than 200,000 soldiers had been transmitted back to Zhao at this time. All the soldiers and civilians of the entire Zhao State fell into grief and panic at this time.

Zhao Wangdan, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, stared at the blood-red eyes, and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, Wu Anjun killed my Zhao army of 450,000. Now in Handan City, there are no young and strong men who resist the enemy. The Qin army will soon be under the city, how can this national disaster be solved? ”

Su Dai, who had already been mentally prepared, stood up and said to Zhao Wangdan: "Enlighten my king, now that I am empty in Handan, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop the Qin army's conquest, and the only way to do so is to seek peace." ”

Zhao Wangdan was stunned and asked, "Peace?" ”

Su Dai nodded, and said to Zhao Wang Dan: "King, my Zhao Kingdom wants to pass the current level, and the most important thing is to gain time." As long as you can delay the war, you can accumulate national strength and regroup! Wang, now Korea is also afraid of Qin, my Zhao State can unite with South Korea, send an envoy to Qin State, allow the land city in Qin, and let it stop attacking our Zhao and Han countries, this is the best policy, please Wang Mingjian. ”

After listening to Su Dai's words, Zhao Guochao's court suddenly had a lot of discussions, and it was noisy.

King Zhao pondered for a moment, and said to His Royal Highness's ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, what other plans do you have?" Can retreat from the enemy. ”

All the ministers of Zhao State, including Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, all looked at each other and were silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Wangdan looked at Su Dai, who was the same as his brother Su Qin, who was also a generation of vertical and horizontal masters.

sighed and said to Su Dai: "In this case, Aiqing, you can go to contact South Korea, go to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and preside over the peace with Qin on behalf of my Zhao State!" If the mission is completed, so that the Qin army will not offend my Handan, after returning, the widow will not hesitate to reward. ”

Su Dai clenched his fists and bowed to King Zhao and said, "No." ”

In mid-October, Su Dai first went to South Korea, met with Han Wangran, and stated his intention to come to South Korea. King Han was worried that after Qin occupied Shangdang, he would go south to attack Korea. Seeing that Su Dai, a generation of Hezong masters, came and prepared to go to Qin State to discuss peace, he was overjoyed, because it was also in line with Han Wangran's wishes.

King Han welcomed the matter of peace with Qin with both hands, and after entertaining Su Dai. Han Wangran once again sent Han Ji, the king of Yangcheng, to accompany Su Dai to envoy to Qin, and asked Han Ji to completely obey Su Dai's arrangement and preside over peace with Qin.

In early November, after Su Dai and Han Ji arrived in Xianyang, they settled the accompanying people. After Su Dai and Han Ji discussed, the two decided to split into two routes, Han Ji took people to the homes of other ministers of Qin, while Su Dai went to visit Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui.

In the evening, Su Dai himself took a few retinues and carried a lot of money to the Ying Mansion of Qin State to meet Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui.

Fan Sui knew that Su Dai and Han Ji had arrived in Xianyang and came to negotiate peace. Fan Sui still respects Su Dai, who is famous all over the world with his brother Su Qin. After receiving the report from the housekeeper, he welcomed Su Dai and a few others into the house.
