On the ninth day of the first month of February, the capital of the Yan Kingdom was Wuyang.

Outside the gate of the Xiadu Palace, the general Liu Sheng threw off his horse.

Raised his head and looked at the palace gate in front of him.

The attendant ordered Wang Cong to wait at the door with a few attendants. After seeing Liu Sheng coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing Wang Cong coming towards him, Liu Sheng didn't dare to slack off, and took the initiative to clasp his fists and salute Wang Cong:

"There is a long wait."

The attendant ordered the king to serve the two generations of kings of the Yan Kingdom, and he was loyal, and no one in the court dared to underestimate the king.

Wang Cong came to Liu Sheng, his face was full of smiles, and he bowed to Liu Sheng and saluted back:

"Don't dare to have General Lao like this, please enter the palace!"

"Oh, dare to ask the permanent attendant, have they all arrived at General Wang Shi?" Liu Sheng asked.

Before Wang could answer, Liu Sheng heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Immediately, I heard a shout: "Haha, Liu stunned, you are here." ”

Liu Sheng was furious, who is this! I dare to call myself a nickname.

turned around and saw that it was the general Wang Shi, who also came to the palace gate with a few personal guards.

As soon as Liu Sheng saw the general Wang Shi, his eyes widened.

"Haha, Wang Daring, you have been so majestic all these years!" Liu Sheng smiled and shouted Wang Shi's nickname.

"Liu stunned, what's the matter? Jealous? Of course, Wang Shi knew the meaning of Liu Sheng's words.

After going south to Shangdang to defeat the Qin army, Liu Sheng led the Eighth Army of the Army, which has been stationed in Zhongyang County, facing Pang Xuan of Zhao across the Hutuo River, and has not participated in any subsequent war of Yan State.

Liu Sheng was very anxious, and wrote to Ji Kang many times, asking to lead the army to participate in the war, but his own king did not agree.

Seeing that his former comrades-in-arms were either attacking the city or pulling out the village, Liu Sheng was of course jealous.

"Ours, Wang Daring. Now that the official is big, I can't talk about you. Liu Sheng "foamed and splashed".

Wang Cong in front of the palace gate, as well as the guards brought by Liu Sheng and Wang Shi, all bowed their heads and laughed.

Wang Shi dismounted and came to Liu Sheng's face, and the two of them stretched out their right fists at the same time and slammed them into each other's chests.

Immediately, the two of them glared at each other again and laughed.

Whether it is Wang Shi, Liu Sheng and others, they are all old men who have followed Ji Kang in Liaodi for many years, and their friendship is not shallow.

"Liu stunned, are they here?" Wang Shi asked Liu Sheng.

The attendant beside the two of them, Ling Wang Cong, was busy owing Liu Sheng and replied:

"I've seen General Wang Shi, Rong Yan, Lejian, General Bo Wang, and a few of them have arrived."

Wang Shi also hurriedly saluted Wang Cong with his fists and said, "Wang Shi has seen Chang Shi, and he has worked hard." ”

After greeting the attendant Ling Wang Cong, Wang Shi said to Liu Shengyan: "Let's go, let's have a meeting." ”

After so many years, not to mention the civilian system, even among the Yan army, several factions and groups have been formed.

The "Liao" faction represented by Rong Yi, Wang Shi and others, and the "Ji" faction represented by Le Cheng are the two largest factions in the army. Ji Kang also knows this, and it is not surprising.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is politics, there are factions, and this has been the case since ancient times.

As long as the competition between these factions under his command is not too hot, under normal circumstances, Ji Kang will not interfere.

In his previous life, he respected the most respected Taizu, and his old man said: "There is no party outside the party, and the emperor thinks; There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. Ji Kang remembers this sentence very well.

As a king, if there is no faction below, everyone will be good to each other, and Ji Kang will be worried.

Wang Shi, Liu Sheng took off the saber on his body and handed it to the guards behind him. Then, under the guidance of the attendant Ling Wang, he strode into the door. The personal guards of the two of them were placed by the king's attendants.

Came to the gate of a palace where the meeting was held, and the palace guards at the door stood solemnly in the sun.

Tian Guang, the commander of the palace guards, led a team of palace guards to inspect in front of the palace.

Seeing Wang Shi and Liu Sheng coming, Tian Guang came over and hugged his fists and saluted:

"Two generals, the king, they are waiting in the palace, you can just go in."

"There's General Laotian." Wang Shi and Liu Sheng hugged their fists in return.

After saying that, both of them consciously tidied up their military uniforms, raised their heads and chests, and walked into the hall with high steps.

After the two entered the hall, they were taken aback, not only the generals Rong Yan, Le Jian, and Bo Wang were all there, but Lu Zhonglian, the cabinet minister in Qidi, was also in the hall. In a corner of the hall, Han Fei and Ju Wu were preparing to make records.

The young king of his own family stood up next to the map in front of the wall in front of him, and was staring at the map.

Seeing Wang Shi and Liu Sheng coming in, Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yan and others all nodded at the two and said hello. Seeing this, the two didn't dare to speak, nodded to everyone, and sat down in their place.

Wang Shi and Liu Sheng, looking up at the front, entered the eyes of the two of them is a giant map of Zhao about six or seven meters long, hand-drawn, with white silk as the base and charcoal depiction.

Looking closely, I found that the cities, yi, passes, passes, and mountains and rivers on this map are all very clear and three-dimensional, especially the number of Zhao army deployments on the map, which is also clearly marked.

Wang Shi and Liu Sheng have not seen the map of the world in the Thistle Palace. However, in Ji Kang's eyes, this somewhat past-based and so-so map on the wall has given Wang Shi and Liu Sheng a great shock.

Ji Kang left at the end of the first month and came to Wuyang.

The attack on Handan was another battle of annihilation of the Yan Kingdom.

In this regard, Ji Kang attaches great importance to it.

Before coming to Xiadu, several commanders of the Yan Army who were preparing to attack Handan this time were called to Xiadu. It was Lu Zhonglian, the cabinet minister in Qidi, and Ji Kang also issued an edict to let him come to the capital to participate in this meeting.

After a moment, Ji Kang turned around.

Wang Shi and Liu Sheng stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "The last general will see the king." ”

The king of his own family can ignore the two of them, but the two of them dare not be rude to their own king.

Ji Kang waved his hand at the two of them and said with a smile: "Two generals, you have worked hard all the way, sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Shi and Liu Sheng sat down.

Ji Kang stepped on his main seat, sat down, and said with a serious face:

"It's all here, and the widow will say a few words. To call you to the lower capital is to discuss the attack on Handan. ”

As soon as they heard the words of their own king, the eyes of the generals in the palace lit up. It was Prime Minister Lu Zhonglian, who also touched the beard under his chin and nodded slightly.

Ji Kang glanced at everyone in the lower hall with a blazing gaze.

"Last year, General Lejian attacked Daijun, Jinyang and other places, and several of your generals here all wrote to the widow to ask for battle. Especially General Liu Sheng, he always clamored that the widow forgot you, and this time I will fulfill your wish. ”

When everyone in the hall heard Ji Kang say this, they burst into laughter.

Liu Sheng hurriedly stood up, scratched his head with his hand, and muttered to Ji Kang: "Your Majesty, the last general ......"

Ji Kang also laughed, raised his right hand and pressed it towards Liu Sheng:

"General Liu Sheng, sit down and speak. The widow did not mean to reproach you, but was quite relieved. As a general, I didn't forget my fighting spirit, but was always ready to fight, which is very good. ”

After listening to the words of his own king, Liu Sheng felt very warm.

"The last general, thank you for the king's praise."

As a senior general who was promoted from the grassroots level, Liu Sheng did not have so many kind words.

Ji Kang nodded at Liu Sheng, and his face changed again.

"All of you here are all important ministers of my Yan Kingdom. The widow doesn't want to hide anything from you here, the widow just wants to destroy the countries of the Central Plains and reunify the land of China. ”

Ji Kang said this to his father and several ministers in private, but he had never expressed his position so clearly in public, this was the first time.

The blood of everyone in the hall was suddenly ignited.

Minister Lu Zhonglian stood up, bowed deeply to Ji Kang and said:

"Weichen is willing to follow the king, follow the work of dogs and horses, and complete the king's ambition to unify my China."
