Chapter 48 Post-war situation
In the 12th year of King Wucheng, in mid-September, the Qin and Zhao armies that had been confronted in Shangdang area for three years. Finally, the Qin army was in Changping, annihilated the entire Zhao army at the cost of 250,000 casualties.
After the Qin army occupied the seventeen counties of Shangdang, the war in Shangdang area for three years finally subsided.
On October 3, Liaodi Junhou Mansion and Military Pavilion.
After the intelligence director Huang Yong gave a detailed report on the final result of the Battle of Changping to the present, the four ministers and generals of Liao, Rong Feng.
Huang Yong finally added to everyone: "After the Battle of Changping, according to our intelligence personnel in Xianyang, King Yingji of Qin was in the court and told the ministers of Qin that the whole world will belong to Qin in the future."
"According to my intelligence personnel in the Central Plains, the Central Plains countries are now in panic, and many people believe that there is no other country in the future that can stop Qin's conquest."
Everyone frowned slightly, and Ji Kang squinted his eyes, but said nothing.
After hearing Huang Yong's words, General Rong Fran smiled coldly and said, "Is this world belonging to Qin? This old Qin King has a very strong tone. He didn't ask me the people in Liao or whether I would be willing to surrender to Qin? Didn't ask me the army in Liao or not, agree with him?"
The old dean Zou Yan also laughed and said, "The old man of Qin, is so arrogant and arrogant, and he is the way to perish himself. Why should he say that the world belongs to Qin? Did he defeat Zhao by defeating the country? However, after the Battle of Changping, the situation in the world has changed. Our Liao area must also be prepared."
Lu Zhonglian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, our Liao land needs to accumulate more strength and must speed up our conquest! We must take down Jiguo and Sanhan as soon as possible as planned, and this can no longer be delayed."
Ju Xiang nodded and said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, now the autumn harvest in Liao is coming to an end this year. According to the current statistics, the four counties in western Liaoning, Liaodong, Liaoning and Jilin have achieved a bumper harvest, and the output has far exceeded last year. The construction of the three new counties in Xing'an, Heihe and Xingdong is coming to an end, and our Liaoning has no worries."
The boss Ji Mao also stood up, nodded to Huang Yong, and then bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Young Master, the Supervisory Institute and the Intelligence Bureau have taken collective action against the unstable forces and factors in our Liao area some time ago. Zhu Cong, the former Goguryeo king, has died of illness. The old slave can guarantee that there are no major unstable forces and factors in our entire Liao area now."
After hearing the crowd, Ji Kang stood up and walked to the map of Ji Kingdom and Sanhan hanging on the wall of the military pavilion. After looking for a moment, he said to everyone: "As President Lu Zhonglian said, we must speed up the pace of conquest of our Liao territory. After Ji Kingdom invaded our Liao territory, he did not apologize or compensate until now. Could it be that the blood-sea hatred of nearly 30,000 soldiers and civilians in our Liao territory, who were innocently injured and killed, have been so easy to pass through the blood hatred?"
Speaking of this, the young king's hand focused on the map of Ji Kingdom and said loudly to everyone: "Since that's the case, I'll take him down."
Then he turned around and continued to say to everyone: "Huang Yong, ordered the intelligence agencies to explore all the military deployment and military distribution of Ji Kingdom and the three Koreans as soon as possible. General Rongfen ordered our Liao army to have five armies, each army to draw two divisions, and the remaining one division is stationed in the local garrison."
"All the troops drawn will gradually gather in Fanhan and Ancheng areas. We must complete the assembly before the end of November and then start winter training,"
"Preface, you are responsible for arranging all military rations and supplies. The reserve troops of each county should also speed up their training. They should cooperate with the local garrison and take on the garrison tasks of each county; President Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian, you are responsible for the publicity work of our Liao area, and you should promote more about the affairs of Ji Kingdom invading our Liao area and harming the people of our Liao area."
"Ji Bo, continue to increase the elimination of all unstable factors in our Liao area; order the navy to prepare to land in the rear of Ji Kingdom and join the war next year."
He paused and said to everyone slowly: "In early March next year, our Liao territory must conquer Ji Kingdom and Sanhan, and I will participate in it myself."
General Rongfu and everyone were shocked, looked at each other and wanted to persuade them.
Ji Kang waved his hand, stopped everyone's persuasion, and said to everyone: "I will not interfere in military operations, but I should see the battlefield. Isn't it still more than four months left! I will prepare well."
Everyone looked at each other, and Jun Xiangju Xin said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, since you are going to the front line, I must have someone to accompany you."
Ji Kang smiled, thought for a while, and said to everyone: "Since that's the case, let Mr. Lu accompany me to the front line! You, Dean Zou Yan and Bo Ji, stay in the rear. In this way, I feel at ease."
After hearing Ji Kang's words, everyone nodded together.
When everyone left, Ji Kang called out to the boss manager Ji Mao and Huang Yong of the Intelligence Bureau, and said to the boss manager Ji Mao: "When someone informed him in the navy, let Shi Gan and Tian Guang return as soon as possible."
The boss manager Ji Mao replied: "No."
Then, he turned around and said to Huang Yong: "Director Huang, I have a letter here. You should arrange for someone to send to Handan as soon as possible and hand it over to Lord Su Dai. No mistakes are allowed. Let me tell Lord Su Dai that after this matter is completed, you can come to Liao and I will celebrate with him."
Huang Yong hurriedly bowed and said to Ji Kang: "No."
After everyone left, Ji Kang turned around and walked to the map in front of the wall. He looked at the Ji Country on the map, and as his eyes gradually moved south, then slowly turned to the west, and finally turned his eyes to the location of the Central Plains.
After watching for a long time, he murmured softly: "Let's start!"
Su Dai in Handan, after receiving the letter from Ji Kang, he looked carefully several times. He said to the Liao intelligence personnel who delivered the letter: "If you go back and tell the young master, you will say that Su Dai will follow the order."
The intelligence officer bowed and said, "No."
After the intelligence personnel from Liao land left, Su Dai read the letter again and burned it. Then he murmured softly: "Pay attention to Lou Chang; go to Qin to negotiate peace; lobby for Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui; provoke conflicts between Fan Sui and Bai Qi?"
After occupying the entire Shangdang, the Qin army was unable to expand eastward due to heavy casualties. The Qin general Wu'an Jun Bai Qi wrote a letter to King Yingji of Qin. The Qin army was preparing to take a temporary rest in Shangdang for a while, and to take advantage of the emptiness of Zhao's domestic troops, and to completely destroy Zhao.
After reading Bai Qi's letter, King Yingji of Qin handed the silk to Prime Minister Fan Sui and said, "Prime Minister, although our Qin army annihilated the 450,000 troops of the Zhao army this time, our army also suffered 25 casualties, which is equally heavy! In this way, I cannot take down Handan of Zhao as soon as possible, so I am very unwilling to accept it!"
After reading Wu'anjun's letter, Fan Sui nodded and said to King Yingji of Qin: "The king, in the letter, Wu'anjun mentioned that we were going to rest for a while, and I thought it was right. In addition to what the king said just now, our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, our army was indeed too tired after three years of confrontation with the Zhao army in Shangdang."
The King of Qin nodded and said to Fan Sui: "Send someone to write to Wu'anjun! Just say that our army's suggestion to rest for three months in Shangdang is correct."
Fan Sui bowed and said, "No."
On October 8, the capital of Zhao State, Handan, the Dragon Palace Hall.
The news that the Qin army had killed more than 200,000 surrendered soldiers was reported back to Zhao State at this time. All the soldiers and civilians of Zhao State were now in sorrow and panic.
King Dan of Zhao, who was sitting in the hall, stared at his blood-red eyes and said to the ministers: "My dear friends, Wu'an, killing our Zhao army for 450,000. Now there are no young and strong men in Handan City to resist the enemy. The Qin army will soon be at the city. How can this national crisis be solved?"
Su Dai, who had already been mentally prepared, stood up and said to King Zhao Dan: "Report to my king, my handan is empty now, and I may not be able to stop the Qin army's conquest, so I can only seek peace."
Zhao Wangdan was stunned and asked, "Please seek peace?"
Su Dai nodded and said to Zhao Wangdan: "King, the most important thing for our Zhao Kingdom to pass the current level is to fight for time. As long as we can delay the war period, we can accumulate national strength and rebuild our strength! King, now South Korea is also afraid of Qin. Our Zhao Kingdom can join forces with South Korea and send envoys to Qin Kingdom, and allow land and capital to Qin, so that they will not attack us, Zhao and Han again. This is the best strategy. Please give us a clear guide."
After hearing Su Dai's words, Zhao's court suddenly had a lot of discussion and was noisy.
King Zhao pondered for a moment and said to His Highness and the ministers: "My dear friends, what strategy do you have? You can retreat to the enemy."
All the ministers of Zhao State, including the king of Pingyuan Zhao Sheng, looked at each other and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhao Wangdan looked at Su Dai, who was also a master of Zongheng, just like his brother Su Qin.
He sighed and said to Su Dai: "Since that's the case, my dear, you can go to contact Han, go to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and preside over the peace talks with Qin on behalf of my Zhao State! If you complete your mission and let the Qin army not offend me, Handan, you will be rewarded after you return."
Su Dai bowed to King Zhao and said, "No."
In mid-October, Su Dai arrived in South Korea first and met King Ran of Han, and stated his intention to come to South Korea. King of Han was worried that Qin would go south to attack South Korea after occupying Shangdang. Seeing Su Dai, a master of Hezong, coming and going to Qin to discuss peace, he was very happy because it was exactly what Han Wangran wanted.
The King of Han welcomed the peace talks with Qin and warmly entertained Su Dai. King of Han Ran sent Yangcheng Jun Han Ji again to accompany Su Dai to Qin, and asked Han Ji to completely obey Su Dai's arrangements and preside over the peace talks with Qin.
In early November, after Su Dai and Han Ji arrived in Xianyang, they settled the accompanying people. After discussing with Su Dai and Han Ji, they decided to split into two groups. Han Ji took people to the other ministers of Qin, while Su Dai went to visit Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui.
In the evening, Su Dai took a few followers and a lot of money to the Qin State Yinghou Mansion to meet the Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui.
