Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Aftermath (1)
In late April, the Central Plains was already in full bloom.
In the city of Jidu, the flowers are full of flowers, the trees are green, and the color of spring is strong and thriving.
Many young girls and women, all wearing various spring skirts, walked in the streets and alleys. To this beautiful season, it is to add a beautiful spring.
It makes people look at it and can't help but feel extraordinarily comfortable.
In the largest restaurant in Jidu - Mingyue Building, when it was close to noon, the upstairs and downstairs were already full of people, and the noisy and noisy sound was endless.
Just two days ago, the thistle was still in a solemn atmosphere, and there were few people on the streets and alleys and on the market.
The Yan country men in the entire Jidu City have prepared war horses, armor, and weapons.
Prepare to accompany your own king against the alliance of the Five Kingdoms.
However, immediately after the good news came from the front of the defense, the combat readiness was lifted.
The news spread to all the counties of Yan Kingdom, and the people in Jidu City, like the people in all counties and counties of Yan Kingdom, fell into a carnival because the Yan army defeated the Five Nations Alliance Army in Weidi.
The thistle is located in the northland, and there have been many impassioned people since ancient times.
Since the celebration is celebrated, of course the man is going to drink, and he wants to drink strong wine.
Therefore, in the past few days, the large and small restaurants in the city of Jidu, the "Liaoliang" wine produced in Liaodi, although the price is expensive, but it is still in short supply. And many merchants are selling at a profit.
On the first floor of Mingyue Building, a scholar in a green shirt and robe, under the joy of wine, recited a seven-character poem aloud.
Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures.
My generation is willing to go to the Martyrs' Shrine, if a scholar is a marquis?
Every time the scholar chanted, the people upstairs and downstairs cheered in unison and drank a big drink.
The atmosphere was warm and moving.
This is a new poem written by the king of his own family that came out of the palace just two days ago.
It is reported that when the good news reached the Ji Palace, the young king of his own family, under the excitement, chanted this impassioned and straightforward war poem, which made people listen to it and drenched heartily.
On the second floor, in a box, Ji Kang, like Han Fei and Ju Wu behind him, was dressed in a clean and neat green shirt, standing next to the open window lattice, smiling, listening to the voices of people upstairs and downstairs.
The business of Mingyue Building is really good, upstairs and downstairs, people come and go, it is very lively.
Several boxes on the second floor are separated by screens, and the decoration is elegant, and the price is naturally much higher than that on the first floor.
Ju Wu listened to this noisy voice, and said with emotion: "A few days ago, there was still a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the city. In just two days, the city of Jidu has returned to its previous liveliness. ”
Han Fei said with a smile: "Under the great victory, the people's will is what they want, and they should be like this." ”
Ji Kang turned around and sat down at the table, letting Han Fei and Ju Wu also sit down.
On the table were several plates of dishes, a pot of wine.
Han Fei and Ju Wu sat beside Ji Kang, one left and one right. At this time, they all raised their glasses to toast Ji Kang. Ji Kang picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and took a bite of food and tasted it carefully.
In the next box, someone was drinking and talking.
There is no accident, the topic is still some time ago, the battle between the Yan State and the Central Plains Five Kingdoms.
This is the hottest topic for people all over the Yan country now.
"I heard that under the city of Diqiu, the corpses were killed all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river!" A voice spoke.
"Hmph, the wolf ambitions of the five countries of the Central Plains actually want to attack my Yan country, and they don't want to think about it, is my Yan army easy to provoke?"
A voice continued the topic and spoke loudly to the crowd.
"It's not just that the blood is flowing under the city of Diqiu, it is said that it is under the city of Fancheng, and it is also a mound of bones. Lian Po old thief, ignoring the friendship between Yan and Zhao, actually used a strategy to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and sneaked into the rear of our front army. ”
Someone was in the next box and said angrily.
The current Zhao State famous general Lian Po, whose reputation is in the hearts of the people of Yan State, can be said to be "extremely stinky".
Without any accidents, he changed his title from the original famous general to "old thief".
"Phew! The old thief of Lian Po did this trick, and he was not defeated by our army. According to the Xun newspaper, the 100,000 Zhao troops who attacked our Fan City were less than 30,000 who returned to China. "Listen to the voice, the one who came before.
"Haha, my Yan army is full of talents, how can it be compared to the old thief of Lian Po. The newspaper said that our army stationed in Fancheng was nothing more than a reserve division in Liaodong County, plus a naval brigade transporting grain, grass, and supplies. ”
"In this way, in the face of the elite of the Zhao State, which is several times larger than our army, the more than 10,000 soldiers I stationed in Fancheng have blocked the Zhao army under the city of Fancheng for several days, and insisted on the arrival of reinforcements from our Yan State."
The person behind said with emotion.
Hearing this person say this, Ji Kang, who knew what Emperor Qiu and Fan Cheng had fought through, also felt a trace of sentimentality in his heart.
Although Yan Guo won the battle, the battle was fierce, exceeding his imagination and expectations.
In the battle under the city of Diqiu, the casualties were as high as more than 60,000 soldiers; In the defense of Fancheng, a reserve division of the Yan army and even a brigade of the navy had more than 13,000 people, and in the end there were less than 3,000 people left.
However, the results were also brilliant!
After this battle, the army led by Changguo Junlejian and the general Wang Shi met in Fancheng.
After the army joined forces, within two days, they burned the corpses of their own dead soldiers and buried the corpses of the enemy, completely cleaning the battlefields of Diqiu and Fancheng.
Subsequently, the Yan army launched an attack on the perimeter.
It not only recovered Juncheng and many other cities abandoned by the Yan State, but also recovered Chaoge (now Qi County, Henan), which was occupied by the Wei State earlier, Gangping City (between now Neihuang and Qingfeng, Henan), and Zhongmu City (now west of Hebi City, Henan) and other places that the Zhao State occupied earlier.
In less than ten days, many of the original territories of Weidi have been officially included in the territory of Yan Kingdom.
As for the 100,000 Chu troops who confronted the Yan army on the southern front, Jing Yang, the general of the Chu State, after receiving the news of the defeat of the coalition army, did not say a word, and under the "gift" of the Yan army, led the Chu army to return quickly.
At the end of April, under the call of King Yingji of Qin, the plot of the five countries to attack Yan came to an end, with the defeat of the coalition army and the complete victory of Yan.
The original monarch of the country, Wei Gongzhi and the crown prince and others, have been killed by Wei Wangyu in Daliang, and only the younger brother of the monarch Wei Gongzhi Wei Nanshi and others fled to Jidu.
After Ji Kang summoned the Wei Nan clan in the Affinity Palace, he asked him to return to China to serve as the prince.
This is what Ji Kang must do on the surface, and it depends on whether Wei Nan's knows "fun".
Wei Nan knew this, and he was unwilling to return to Wei Di to serve as a prince.
The large-scale battles between the Yan State and the five countries of the Central Plains in Diqiu and even Fancheng because of the matter of defending the land frightened the Weinan clan. If you go back and serve as a prince again, if you are not careful, you will be the same as your eldest brother.
If you don't know how to face Yan Wangkang, I'm afraid that your Wei clan will be wiped out in your own hands.
Ji Kang and even several cabinet ministers were very satisfied with Wei Nan's performance in their hearts.
Of course, on the surface, it is extremely regretful and helpless. Under repeated persuasion, Wei Nan refused to return to Weidi to serve as a prince, and was only willing to stay in Jidu to be a "rich man".
Faced with such a situation, Ji Kang issued an edict to confer the title of second-class duke on Wei Nan, and at the same time gave the titles of other Wei clansmen, giving the Wei clansmen in Jidu a very decent treatment.
Then, Ji Kang issued an edict, and Yan State set up Wei County, and the county capital was Diqiu City.
Li Feng was appointed as the county guard of Wei County, and Bo Wang, who was experienced in military affairs, was appointed as the military and civilian governor of Wei County.
The county officials who had already been prepared by the Ministry of Officials had been stationed in various parts of Wei County and began to rule and manage Wei County. And follow the law system of the Yan State, and move the few Guixun gate lords in Wei County to Liaodi.
"In my opinion, after this battle, my Yan country will be invincible in the world, and the unification of the Central Plains is none other than my Yan country. Come, come, come, everyone raise a glass and congratulate me for the king! Congratulations to our Yan country! Also, congratulations to the soldiers of Yan who fought bloodily in front of us! ”
Listen to the voice, which is the voice of the first.
There was a sound of chairs, and everyone in the box next door stood up.
The voice of the last of the three could be heard:
"Two old friends, the Xun Bao commented that it is good, I am waiting here, I can drink happily, and my relatives can be quiet and well, all because of the heavy burdens and bloody battles of my soldiers in front of me. For the king, for my Yan country, for my Yan country soldiers, raise this toast. ”
"What my brother said is very much, for the king, for my Yan country, for my Yan country, for my Yan country, raise this toast."
The other two spoke in unison.
I could only hear the three of them after drinking, and one of them began to sing loudly, the verse chanted by the scholar downstairs just now:
"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. My generation is willing to go to the Martyrs' Shrine, if a scholar is a marquis? ……”
Slowly, almost all the people in the box on the second floor began to chant along with this person. Then, the people on the lower floor also echoed loudly, and the entire Mingyue Building resounded with a uniform chanting of poetry.
There were many moaning and weeping.
When Ji Kang heard this, he was relieved and emotional.
Put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said to Han Fei and Ju Wu: "Let's go!" It's time to go back. ”
Han Fei and Ju Wu stood up together, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "No." ”
