Chapter 1 Father is here
In the 12th year of King Wucheng (260 BC), on the 21st day of the third lunar month, the Liao area was bright.
In the early morning, the rising sun rose from the horizon, and the sunset was filled with light, and the entire Liao area's plains, gullies and mountains.
The remaining snow on the mountain peaks in the distance finally melted, turning into a stream and merging into the small river at the foot of the mountain. Then it flowed into the reservoir built by Liao, nourishing the fields of the people in Liao.
Outside Xiangping City, the earth rejuvenates, flowers and plants spit out their cores, trees bloom, and all things are thriving.
On the official roads in Liao, as usual, there were many carriages, ox carriages, and pedestrians carrying goods. In the neat fields on both sides of the road, many hardworking people in Liao have begun to cultivate and sow spring like in previous years.
It was almost noon, near noon, near the junction of Xiangping County and Gaoxian County, a group of people came on the official road on the side of Xiangping County, causing a stir among the people on the official road.
The Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang and Jun Xiangju Xin, and stood by the road with many officials and gentry from Xiangping City, preparing to welcome their father, who came from Jidu, as well as their elder brother Ji Xi, historian Gao Yang and others.
Seeing the guards of nearly a thousand palaces gradually driving to a van in front of him, Ji Kang bowed and said, "Jun Ji Kang, the king of Liaocheng, and the king of the lords, led the officials of the Junhou Mansion and the gentry to pay homage to His Royal Highness."
After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the concrete floor of the official road with Ju Xin and other officials and squire.
The door of the van opened. The father of the Prince of Yan, who was just 40 years old this year, walked out of the van.
Looking at his beautiful son who had been kneeling beside the road for more than six years and had not seen him now, Ji Kang's father was in a daze. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ji Kang who was kneeling on the ground: "I'm going to ask for it quickly! Please get it up quickly, sirs!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Everyone said in unison.
Ji Kang, who had been helped by his father, was also in a daze when he looked at his father who had not seen him for many years.
My father still looked so thin, but his temples were already white, and his forehead wrinkles became deeper. At this moment, he was looking at himself with a pair of loving eyes, just like his father in his previous life.
Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he shouted: "Father". He hugged his father in this life tightly.
At this time, the prince discovered the Ju Xin behind Ji Kang, and was shocked and patted Ji Kang's back.
He hurriedly walked over to support Jun Xiang Juxin: "Oh, Mr. Juxin, why are you here? You must not do this! You can't do it, you can't do it!"
At this time, a 16 or 17-year-old boy walked out from a van behind his father's car and shouted to Ji Kang: "Brother Kang!"
Ji Kang turned around and saw his elder brother Ji Xi wearing a jade crown and sword-like eyebrows. His crown suit could not conceal his extraordinary temperament. Unfortunately, Ji Kang had never met King Yingji of Qin, otherwise he would have known that this young man was a bit similar to King Yingji of Qin.
Ji Kang also smiled and shouted: "Brother!"
Ji Xi looked at her younger brother, with a slender figure, a clear angular face, a smile under her thick eyebrows, and a secret praise in her heart: "What a young man."
Then, he ran towards the other party. Then the two brothers hugged each other tightly.
At this time, Ji Kang's father discovered that although Ji Kang was five years apart from Ji Xi, his height was not much different! He knew that for his own height, our young master Ji Kang either had soy milk or natural milk every day. Where could he get worse?
Seeing that his two sons were as close as they were when they were in childhood, Ji Kang's father felt a little relieved. He said to Ji Xi: "Xi'er, you have come here to meet Lord Ju Xin."
With a joyful expression, Ji Kang patted his elder brother on the back, let go and meet him with Jun Xiang.
Ji Xi came to Ju Xin and bowed and said, "I have met Master Ju Xin."
Jun Xiangju Xin looked at Ji Xi, bowed and replied, "I dare not do anything to do this, the young master has worked hard all the way."
After Ji Kang waited for his elder brother Ji Xi to see Jun Xiang Ju Xin, he turned to his father and elder brother Ji Xi and said, "Father, brother, we have come to Liaodi all the way. It's a hard time! Please ask my father and elder brother to get on the bus. Let's go to Xiangping City, and wait for my son and Ju Xiang to welcome you all."
Then, he shouted: "Play the welcome song". Then the band of the Junhou Mansion Rites Team played a cheerful welcome song.
Ji Kang bowed to his father and Ji Xi and said, "Father, brother, please!"
Ji Kang's father said to Ji Kang and Ji Xi's two sons: "You two should follow me in the same car!"
"No." The two answered in unison.
Then, Ji Kang's father bowed to Ju Xin and said, "Sir Ju Xin, we will talk later."
Ju Xin smiled and said to the prince: "Your Highness, you don't have to do this. It is human nature to talk about family matters first."
Ji Kang also said to Gao Yang and others who followed his father from Jidu, who came with him: "Sir, let's talk about it later when the banquet will come."
Everyone also hurriedly bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Young Master and the Crown Prince, let's talk about family matters first, and we will talk about it later."
Seeing this, Ji Kang's father, Jun Xiangju Xin and others laughed together.
Sitting in my father's van, the three of them had long lost the feeling of isolation when they first met. Ji Kang's elder brother Ji Xi was smiling and said to Ji Kang: "Brother Kang, I didn't expect that your Liao land is so prosperous now! You don't know that when my father's convoy and I arrived in Ling'an County, western Liaoning, I saw this "cement" paved official road."
"The guards of the palace at that time stopped in surprise and dared not move forward! It was so beautiful and spectacular! How did you do it? How much does it cost?"
Looking at his elder brother Ji Xi, he looked excited. Ji Kang smiled and said, "Brother, it wasn't that I had captured more than 100,000 prisoners of war two years ago. I really don't know what to do with my younger brother? I can't kill him, and I dare not let him go, so I had to arrange for them to come here to build roads!"
After hearing Ji Kang's words, Ji Kang's father nodded and said, "Good, it's handled very well! This not only arranged prisoners of war, but also did not work hard for the people, so he killed two birds with one stone."
After hearing his father's words, Ji Kang smiled and said to his father: "Thank you, my father for your praise. Father, you and your elder brother came to Liao for inspection this time. My son did not go to western Liaoning to greet him. Please forgive me!"
"After my son came to Liao, he issued a law, which stipulates that the government is not allowed to welcome and send off, and that his son must set an example. In this way, he will neglect you, father and elder brother."
Ji Kang's father was indeed as his mother Ji Zhao said, very easy-going.
He waved his hand and smiled and said to Ji Kang, "It's negligence there! It's so good. After I came to Liao, I have heard your Liao officials explain it to me. If you can make such regulations, I will comfort my father! That's how it should be."
At this time, I heard the elder brother Ji Xi say again: "Brother Kang, when the Three Kingdoms sent troops to attack you two years ago, I just heard this news, but I was frightened. Brother, you are really amazing! You can defeat the Three Kingdoms alone and establish two counties! You don't know that after this news was sent back to Jidu, the people of Jidu were "boiled", and I was also very excited."
Ji Kang sighed and said to his elder brother Ji Xi: "Brother, it's not that relaxing either! You don't know, when I first heard the Three Kingdoms army coming, I felt very distressed inside. I couldn't sleep for many nights. When I defeated the Donghu army, I fell asleep on the chair in the hall, and slept for two days and one night."
Ji Kang's father, like Ji Xi, had red eyes after listening to Ji Kang's words. He choked up at Ji Kang and said, "My son is really hard! At such a weak age, he has to bear such a great pressure!"
Seeing this atmosphere, Ji Kang hurriedly said, "Father, brother, don't be sad! Fortunately, the soldiers and civilians in Liaoland have worked together to defeat all the invading enemy troops. Look, am I not doing well now?"
Ji Kang's father nodded and said to Ji Kang: "Kang'er, you can defeat the attacks of the Three Kingdoms, and finally you can fight back. The establishment of two new counties is very exciting to the people of Yan State! You don't know that you are very famous in Jidu now!"
After hearing his father's words, Ji Kang said politely: "Father, the people of Jidu love their son so much. As a member of my Yan royal family, this is what I should do."
Ji Kang's father was also very happy to see his youngest son so humble.
Ji Kang's elder brother Ji Xi, after coming to Liao, saw many differences between Liao and Yan. Just like Ji Kang's "surprise baby" in his previous life, he was full of words and wanted to tell Ji Kang!
Just when Ji Kang and his father were reunited, a major military conference was also being held in the palace of Qin State, which was related to the fate of Qin State.
Looking at the prime minister Fan Sui, the general Bai Qi and Wang Yi, who were kneeling in the lower head.
King Yingji of Qin narrowed his eyes slowly opened and said to the general Bai Qi: "General Bai, your body is still very important to me, Qin. This battle of Shangdang should be temporarily commanded by General Wang! You should cultivate your body as soon as possible and don't be too hasty."
Seeing that King Yingji of Qin took care of the general Bai Qi in this way, the prime minister Fan Sui bowed his head slightly and said nothing.
General Bai Qi stood up quickly and bowed to King Yingji of Qin and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am grateful. General Wang Wei led our main force of the Qin army. I am relieved to go to the Battle of Shangdang this time."
The King of Qin nodded, looked at the general Wang Ying sitting in Bai Qi's lower head, and said to him: "General Wang, are I ready for the Qin army in Shangdang?"
Wang He also stood up and bowed to the King of Qin and said, "Report to the King, now our Qin State is ready to go to the 200,000 troops in Shangdang area. He is ready to wait for the King's assignment at any time."
Ying Ji nodded and continued to ask Wang He: "How many troops are Zhao in Shangdang now?"
Wang He replied without thinking: "King, since the end of last year, our Qin State and Zhao State had negotiated a peace cession, some of the Zhao State's army have been withdrawn from all over Handan. Now, there are only 200,000 Zhao troops led by Shangdang Lian Po."
