The armies of Liaodi were ordered by their own princes. Since October, they have been assembling from various places in the vicinity of Fanhan and Anseong. At the same time, Liaodi ordered that all trade routes between Liaodi and Kei be blocked from December 1.

By the end of November, the commanders of the various armies, with their own armies, had assembled in the designated area. The regular army had 30,000 cavalry, 70,000 infantry, and field hospital and logistics personnel, totaling 120,000 people. The more than 15,000 people of the navy also began to arrive in Fanhan with grain, grass, baggage, and military supplies.

After the Liaodi army was assembled, targeted winter training and training began in Fanhan and Ancheng and other places.

The 100,000 reserve troops requisitioned from various counties also arrived in Xiangping City one after another, and began intensive training outside Xiangping City. According to Ji Kang's instructions, Tian Guang personally went to the reserve army and selected 500 sergeants, including Ju Wu, Qin Wuyang, Gao Yanli and others from the academy, to form Ji Kang's garrison battalion and began strict training.

Ji Kang and Shi Kang also took the time to go to the military camp outside the city to train with their friends.

When he went for the first time, Ji Kang thought that others were okay to say, Gao Yuanli must have a depressed face, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

But I didn't expect that after arriving at the barracks, I found that Ju Wu, Qin Wuyang, Gao Yanli and other people from the academy actually arranged many military-themed songs and programs in the barracks. During the training break, he performed and played for the soldiers, which was well received by the soldiers.

As for Gao Yuanli, he is actually more liked by the soldiers than in the academy. Seeing this situation, Ji Kang's nose was almost crooked.

The general Rong Yan, generals Wang Shi, Liu Sheng, Bo Wang and other high-ranking personnel of the army gathered in Xiangping City to discuss the military plan for the conquest of the Ji State in the spring of next year.

The propaganda teams organized by the county government and the academy actively publicized the crimes of the Ji State during the invasion of Liao in the counties and villages. This is to let the ordinary people know that in the future, our Liaodi attack on the Ji Kingdom will be a just war.

A strong atmosphere of war came to the face of Liaodi.

When it comes to the country of Mino, it is impossible not to mention the founder of the country, the monarch of the country.

The founding monarch of the Kingdom of Ji was the son of the Mino, the uncle of the King of Shang. Jizi, along with Bigan and Weizi, is known as the "Three Sages" of the Shang Dynasty, which is the "Three Benevolences" praised by Confucius in the Analects of Weizi.

When the Jizi was in power, he saw that the king of the Xuan must use the elephant chopsticks for dinner, and he felt very luxurious, and sighed: "He is the elephant chopsticks, and he must be the jade cup, and the cup, he must think of the strange things in the distance and the royal ones, and the palace room of the horse palace has gradually begun from here, and it cannot be vibrate." ”

Sure enough, later the king of Shang was tyrannical and unreasonable, drinking and lewdness all day long, ignoring politics, and spending extravagantly. The uncle of the king of Zhou, Jizi, saw that the king was so unreasonable, and tried hard to discourage him, but he did not listen to the king of the emperor after repeated admonitions.

Someone persuaded Jizi to leave, and Jizi said: "As a minister, I don't listen to the advice and go, it is to show the evil of Yin and please the people, I can't bear it."

Seeing that the 600-year-old country created by Chengtang was about to be cut off in the hands of the king of Xu, his heart ached like a cut, so he simply cut his hair and pretended to be crazy, pretended to be crazy, and secretly played the piano to feel sorry for himself, and only played and sang the song "Jizi Cao" every day to vent his grief and anger. Seeing this, he thought that Miko was really crazy, so he imprisoned him and reduced him to slavery.

In the last year of King Zhou (1124 B.C.), Ji Kang's ancestor King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, raised an army to attack Zhou. The decisive battle of Makino, the defeat of the king of Su**. King Wu invaded the Shang capital and the Shang Dynasty fell.

At the time of the changes in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jizi took advantage of the chaos to flee to Qishan (now Qizi Mountain, Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, southeast Shanxi), and lived a short secluded life in Jishan (now Qizi Mountain).

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang and built Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, who was eager for talent, visited Taihang, found Jizi in Lingchuan, and earnestly asked for advice on the principles of governing the country. King Wu asked Jizi about the reason for the demise of Yin Shang, but Jizi did not speak because he was unwilling to speak ill of his homeland. King Wu also realized that he had lost his words, so he asked him how to govern the country according to the mandate of heaven.

Jizi then stated the "Hongfan Jiuchou" handed down by Xia Yu to King Wu, and the history called Jizi Mingyi. After hearing this, King Wu admired it very much, and wanted to invite the basket to go out of the mountain to govern the state affairs and reuse the basket. But Jizi had already said to Weizi: "Shang Qi is falling, and I am a servant." “

Afraid that King Wu would come to invite him again, after Jizi took King Wu away, he quickly led his disciples and a large number of people from the widows of a group of merchants, totaling more than 5,000 people. He crossed the sea from present-day Jiaozhou Bay and went to North Korea, which had a certain ethnic relationship with Shang, and founded the Marquis of the Ji clan. There were Yin Shang nobles Jing Rusong, Qin Ying, Nangong Xiu, Kang Hou, Lu Qi and so on.

Later, when King Wu of Zhou knew that Jizi was far away from the East, he sighed for a long time, so he issued an order to send people to North Korea to seal Jizi as the monarch of Korea, and the Kingdom of Ji was established and submitted to Zhou.

Jizi brought intellectuals who knew poetry and books, ritual music, medicine, yin and yang, and witchcraft, and skilled craftsmen who knew all kinds of skills. They brought the Central Plains civilization to the Korean Peninsula, educated their subjects, and made ancient Korea practice the Chinese ritual and music system, and gradually followed the customs of the Central Plains in the official system, food and daily life of the yamen.

Politically, the Jizi promulgated eight written laws prohibiting killing, wounding, and theft; Economically, the Yin Shang system of acres and the advanced farming and cultivation technology of the Central Plains were promoted.

In less than three years of governance in North Korea, the local people's customs have changed greatly, the house is not closed at night, there are no thieves, women are chaste and do not commit adultery, men and women do not pay dowry when they marry, the people are thrifty and respectful, and the society is harmonious and stable.

Since then, the writing, traditional customs, and etiquette of the Korean Peninsula have been the same as those of the Central Plains.

Many of the ministers who followed him were sent to the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula and established large and small states. Since the beginning of the Jizi and the generation of the Jishi, it has been the thirty-eighth generation of monarchs.

After the Liaodi ordered the blockade of the trade route with the Ji Kingdom, the people of the Ji Kingdom felt that something was wrong and fell into chaos.

In early December, the lord of the Ji country, Ji Shi, hurriedly summoned several important ministers of the prime minister of the Ji country to discuss the matter.

Xiangguo Gaomin frowned, pondered for a long time, and said to King Ji: "King, since the year before last, since the tripartite expedition of our Ji Kingdom to Liao, Goguryeo was destroyed, and Kubida, the king of Donghu, was killed in battle, and now I am left with one country. ”

"After the Liao region occupied parts of Goguryeo and Donghu, the ministers thought that it would take at least several years or even longer to stabilize these two places. But now it seems that Liaodi has a very good way to govern the place, and after three years, it has been completely stabilized. To tell the truth, this was completely unexpected by the minister. ”

"Your Majesty, Liaodi's blockade of trade routes this time seems to be aimed at destroying my Ji country! I have to defend against it! You can gather our ** team in Fanhan and the northern border to strictly guard against Liaodi. ”

Gao Min paused, looked at Ji Shi, and said to King Ji: "King, Weichen still has a strategy, now that Liao is terrainous, my Ji country can surrender to Liao." As long as the king of Liaocheng recognizes the vassal status of my Ji country, he will not kill me. ”

When King Ji Shi heard this, his face showed displeasure, and he said to Gao Min: "Xiangguo, this Liaodi child has been in Liao for less than ten years, plus the year before last, our Three Kingdoms invaded Liao, although Liaodi was finally resolved, its strength will also be greatly damaged." I have been in the country for hundreds of years, how can I surrender to this immature child? Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of people with armor in my country, how can I know if I win or lose if I don't fight? ”

After listening to King Ji's words, Prime Minister Gao Min sighed secretly. But when I think about it, King Kei has a point.

Seeing this, Gao Min explained to King Ji: "King, since the king has decided to fight against the Liao army. Our Kei State can inform the southern Sanhan and other princes that if the Liao army does not come, then let them send troops to assist our Kei State and jointly defend the Liao army. ”

After listening to the words of Prime Minister Gaomin, several ministers of the Ji Kingdom stood up together and explained to the King of Ji: "The words of the Prime Minister are extremely true, and the ministers seconded the proposal. ”

After listening to the words of Xiangguo Gaomin and the ministers, King Ji Shi pondered for a long time, stood up, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the year before last, the Liao army was defeated, and the Donghu and Goguryeo armies were defeated, but the army of the Kei Kingdom survived alone, and there were not too many casualties. This time, if that Liaodi boy comes to attack my Ji country, my Ji country will never give in, and will fight to the death with it. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Shi said to the ministers: "The art of war: go up to the army to plan, then attack the enemy, and attack the city." Our country can send envoys to the Xiongnu, Donghu, and even the Yan state, the monarchy of Liaodi, to carry out diplomatic mediation. ”

"If you can let the Xiongnu, Donghu and other countries send troops, or the suzerainty of Liaodi, Yanguo, to stop this Liaodi child, it is the best policy."

After listening to King Ji's words, Xiangguo Gaomin shook his head and explained to King Ji: "My lord, now Liaodi has blocked all the passages from my Ji Kingdom to these countries. Wechen also studied the laws of Liaodi, and the laws of Liaodi, such as the "Household Law" and the "Commercial Law", had strict regulations for the homeless people and merchants. ”

"I don't hide it from the king, according to the secret spies of my Ji country and the merchants who have been to Liaodi, there are almost no first-class people in Liaodi today, and many homeless people in my Ji country have also defected to Liaodi. Merchants doing business need to be guaranteed by multiple merchants and implement the joint sitting method. I have sent envoys to these countries, and there is very little hope! ”

After listening to Gao Min's words, King Ji Shi and the ministers all took a breath of cool air. I heard that Liaodi was rich, but I didn't expect that the law would be so strict, and it would be so far.

King Ji was stunned, but knew that now was not the time to be discouraged, so he said to Gao Min and the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, since this is the case, we can't be captured, pass on my edict, if the Liao land cuts me down and conscripts men over the age of 16 to enlist in the army, my Ji country and the Liao army will fight to the death." ”

Xiangguo Gaomin and all the ministers of Ji stood up together, bowed and said, "No." ”

At the end of December, the personnel of the Intelligence Bureau reported to the General Intelligence Bureau in Xiangping City. Director Huang Yong saw the news from Ji Guo, hurriedly sorted it out, came to the Junhou Mansion, and reported to Ji Kang.

In the Secretariat's Pavilion, Ji Kang pondered for a moment after seeing the movements of the Ji Kingdom, and asked Huang Yong: "Among the many vassal countries in the southern part of the Ji Kingdom, if you mobilize men over the age of sixteen, how many people can there be in total?" ”

Huang Yong said to Ji Kang: "Son Qiyu, if the Ji Kingdom conducts a general mobilization of men over the age of sixteen, the number of troops will be at least 500,000, or even more. ”

After hearing this, Ji Kang was shocked, nodded, and said to Huang Yong: "I know, after you go down, you will arrange for my intelligence personnel, and you must keep an eye on every move of Ji Guo." In addition, we must not slacken our efforts to plot against the officials of the Mini country. ”

Huang Yong clenched his fists and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "No." ”

After Huang Yong left, Ji Kang said to Shi Dang beside him: "Send someone to call the generals Rong Yan and Jun Xiangju Xin, and the two deans will come." ”

The old manager Ji Mao is now taking people to inspect the counties and counties, not in Xiangping City.

After everyone arrived, Ji Kang handed the information on the country of Ji compiled by the personnel of the Intelligence Bureau to everyone.

After everyone saw it, their faces were stunned, but they didn't expect King Ji to dare to break the kettle so much and fight to the death with Liaodi. I didn't expect that there were so many troops in the country of Mini.

The general Rong Yan laughed, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Childe, it's okay, the strength of the Ji ** team is far from my Liaodi. A certain general has the determination to lead my army of 100,000 to defeat all the armies of the Kei country. ”

Jun Xiangju Xin was more cautious, and said to Ji Kang: "Son, don't be careless. The country of Ji has been stable for hundreds of years, and it is expected that there are so many troops. From this, we can also know that the population of the Mini country and its dependent countries far exceeds our statistics. The 100,000 reserve troops outside Xiangping City can be put into the front line, and the first batch of more than 300,000 reserve troops in the counties and counties of Liaodi should also be ready for battle. ”

After hearing this, Ji Kang pondered for a while, nodded, and said to everyone: "This time to attack the Ji country, my Liao land is bound to win." As the prime minister said, don't be careless. Since the armies of the Kei Kingdom and its vassal countries have gathered on the border, this is fine, so let me finish the battle in one battle! Let's proceed according to our army's reserve plan! The 100,000 reserve troops gathered in Xiangping City were put into this expedition. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Kang paused, and said: "Pass my order, now send someone to inform the 100,000 reserve troops outside Xiangping City to enter Fanhan and Ancheng." Ordered the generals to immediately go to the front line and organize the army. In addition, the garrisons and reserve forces in all localities were ordered to be ready for battle. Then he ordered the first batch of 300,000 reserve troops between the ages of 18 and 35 to begin to assemble and assemble in Fanhan, Xing'an, and other places, ready to enter the battle. ”

Everyone stood up together and said in unison, "No." ”

Following the Battle of Changping, the scene of another battle of a million army is about to be shown in front of people.
