Chapter 52: The country of Kei will never yield
The army of Liao was ordered by their lords. From October, they gathered from all over the place to Fanhan and the area near Ancheng. At the same time, Liao ordered that from December 1, all trade routes between Liao and Ji Kingdom should be blocked.
By the end of November, the commanders of various armies, with their own troops, all assembled in the designated areas. The regular army had 30,000 cavalry, 70,000 infantry, as well as field hospitals and logistics personnel, totaling 120,000 people. The navy had more than 15,000 people, and they also began to arrive in Fanhan with food, supplies, and military supplies.
After the Liao army gathered, targeted winter training and training were started in Fanhan and Ancheng.
The 100,000 reserve troops recruited from various counties also arrived in Xiangping City one after another and started training outside Xiangping City. Tian Guang, as Ji Kang's instructions, personally went to the reserve troops to select 500 soldiers, including Ju Wu, Qin Wuyang, Gao Jianli and others from the academy, formed Ji Kang's security camp and began strict training.
Ji Kang and Shi Gan took the time to go to the military camp outside the city to train with their friends.
When he went there for the first time, Ji Kang thought that others were fine, but Gao Jianli must have had a frustrated face and was secretly happy in his heart.
But unexpectedly, after arriving at the military camp, I found that Ju Wu, Qin Wuyang, Gao Jianli and others had arranged many military-themed songs and programs in the military camp. I took advantage of the training breaks to perform and perform for the soldiers, which was very popular among the soldiers.
As for Gao Jianli, he was even more popular with the soldiers than in the academy. Seeing this situation, Ji Kang's nose was almost pissed.
General Rong Fen, General Wang Shi, Liu Sheng, Bo Wang and other senior military personnel gathered in Xiangping City to discuss the military plan to conquer Ji Kingdom at the beginning of next spring.
The propaganda teams organized by the governments of various counties and counties and colleges actively publicize the crimes of the Ji Kingdom when they attacked Liao in each counties and villages. This is to let ordinary people know that in the future, the attack on Ji Kingdom in Liao was a just war.
A strong atmosphere of war came to Liao.
Speaking of Ji Kingdom, we must talk about Jizi, the founding king of Ji Kingdom.
The founding king of Ji Kingdom was Jizi, who was the uncle of King Zhou of Shang. Jizi and Bi Gan and Weizi were called the "Three Wise" during the reign of King Zhou of Shang, which is the "Three Renes" praised by Confucius in "The Analects of Confucius: Weizi".
When Ji Zi was assisting the government, he saw that King Zhou would use ivory chopsticks when he had dinner. He was very extravagant and sighed, "It is an ivory chopstick, and it must be a jade cup, and it will be a cup. Then he will think of rare and strange things in the distance and control them. The gradual gradual of the carriage and horse palaces will not be revitalized."
Then King Zhou of Shang was tyrannical and unruly, drinking and loving all day long, ignoring the government and squandering it. King Zhou's uncle Jizi saw King Zhou so unruly, and tried his best to advise him, but he refused to listen to him repeatedly.
Someone advised Jizi to leave, but Jizi said, "As a minister, he would leave without listening. This is why he hates Yin and pleases the people, and I cannot bear it."
When Ji Zi saw that Cheng Tang had created a country that was about to be destroyed in the hands of King Zhou, he felt as heartbroken as if he had cut his hair, so he simply cut his hair and pretended to be crazy, and played the piano to make him sad. He only sang the song "Ji Zi Cao" every day to vent his grief and anger. Seeing this, Zhou thought Ji Zi was crazy, so he imprisoned him and demoted him to a slave.
At the end of King Zhou (1124 BC), Ji Kang's ancestor, King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, raised troops to attack Zhou. The decisive battle between Muye, and King Zhou was defeated and burned himself. King Wu attacked the Shang capital Chaoge, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.
During the change of Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jizi took advantage of the chaos to escape to Jishan (now Qizi Mountain, Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, southeastern Shanxi) and lived a short life of seclusion in Jishan (now Qizi Mountain).
After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang and established Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, who was eager to seek talented people visited Taihang, found Jizi in Lingchuan, and asked for advice on the principle of governing the country. King Wu asked Jizi about the reason for the demise of the Shang Dynasty, but Jizi did not speak because he was unwilling to speak bad things about his homeland. King Wu also found that he had made a mistake, so he asked him how to govern the country according to the will of heaven.
Jizi then stated the "Hong Fan Jiuchou" handed down by Xia Yu to King Wu, which was called Jizi Mingyi in history. After hearing this, King Wu admired him very much and wanted to ask Jizi to go out to govern the state affairs and use Jizi with value. But Jizi had long said to Weizi: "I will not be a servant when I go on to his demise."
Because he was afraid that King Wu would come to invite him again, Ji Zi took over King Wu to leave, so he quickly led his disciples and a large number of Shang's old and old people, a total of more than 5,000 people. From now on, Jiaozhou Bay crossed the sea and rushed to Korea, which had a certain ethnic relationship with Shang, and founded the Ji clan marquis. Those who went there were Jing Rusong, Qin Ying, Nangong Xiu, Kang Hou, Lu Qi and others.
Later, when King Wu of Zhou learned that Jizi was away from the east, he felt moved for a long time and issued an order to send people to Korea to enfeoff Jizi and become the monarch of Korea. The Ji Kingdom was established and the ministers were in Zhou.
Jizi brought intellectuals who knew poetry, books, rituals and 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 to educate the subjects, and made ancient Korea practice the Chinese ritual and music system, the yamen official system, and gradually followed the original customs of the Central Plains.
Politically, Jizi promulgated eight written laws, prohibiting killing, hurting, and theft; economically, promoting the land system of the Shang Dynasty and the advanced farming and raising technologies in the Central Plains.
Jizi was under management in North Korea for less than three years. The local customs changed drastically. He did not close his door at night, and there were no thieves. Women were chaste and not lustful. Men and women did not pay more attention to betrothal gifts. The people were frugal and harmonious, and society was harmonious and stable.
Since then, the writing, traditional customs, etiquette, etc. of the Korean Peninsula are no different from those of the Central Plains countries.
Many ministers who followed Jizi were enfeoffed to the southern end of the Korean Peninsula by Jizi, and countries of all sizes were established. The country of Ji was already the thirty-eight generations of monarchs from Jizi to Jishi's generation.
After Liao ordered the blockade of the trade routes with Ji State, the Ji State court felt something was wrong and fell into chaos.
In early December, Ji Shi, the king of Ji State, hurriedly summoned several important officials of Ji State, Gao Min, to discuss the matter.
The Prime Minister Gao Min frowned and pondered for a long time. He said to King Ji Ji: "King, since the three sides of our country attacked Liao in the past year, Goguryeo was destroyed, and King Kubida of the Donghu King died in battle. Now our country is left."
"After occupying some parts of the Goguryeo and Donghu, I thought it would take at least several years or even longer to stabilize these two places. But now it seems that Liao has a very good way to govern the area. After three years, it has been completely stable. To tell the truth, this is completely beyond my expectations."
"King, Liao blocks the trade routes this time, it seems that it is to attack our Ji Kingdom! Our Ji Kingdom has to be guarded! We can gather our Ji Kingdom troops on the border between Fan and Han and the northern borders to strictly guard against Liao Kingdom."
Gao Min paused, looked at Ji Shi, and said to King Ji again: "Great King, I have another plan. Now that Liao is in a large territory, my country of Ji can surrender to Liao. As long as the king of Liaocheng recognizes the status of my country of Ji, he will not attack me."
After hearing this, Ji Kang was shocked, nodded, and said to Huang Yong: "I understand. After you go down, you must arrange for my intelligence personnel. You must keep an eye on Ji Country's every move. In addition, you must hurry up and retaliate against the officials of Ji Country."
Huang Yong bowed to Ji Kang with his fists and said, "No."
After Huang Yong left, Ji Kang said to Shi Gan beside him: "Send someone to call General Rong Fen and Jun Xiang Ju Xin, the two deans will come."
The boss manager Ji Mao now takes people to inspect various counties and counties, not in Xiangping City.
After everyone arrived, Ji Kang handed the Ji Country information sorted by the intelligence agencies to everyone.
After seeing this, everyone's expressions were stagnant. Unexpectedly, King Ji Shi, who dared to burn his boats so hard and fight to the death with Liaodi. Unexpectedly, the country's troops were so many.
General Rong Fur smiled and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Young Master, it's okay, the strength of the Ji Kingdom's army is far from that of our Liao territory. A certain general has the determination to lead our 100,000 troops to defeat all the Ji Kingdom's army."
Jun Xiangju Xin was more cautious and said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, don't be careless. The country of Ji has been stable for hundreds of years and has so many troops, which is expected. From this, we can also see that the population of Ji and its affiliated countries is far exceeding our statistics. It can be used to allow 100,000 reserve troops outside Xiangping City to be put into the front line, and the first batch of more than 300,000 reserve troops in various counties and counties in Liao areas should also be prepared for battle."
After hearing this, Ji Kang pondered for a while, nodded, and said to everyone: "This attack on Ji Kingdom, our Liao terrain is bound to be successful. Just as the prime minister said, don't be careless. Since the army of Ji Kingdom and its subordinate countries gathered on the border, it would be good, let our Liao terrain achieve full results in one battle! Follow our army's preparation plan! Put the 100,000 reserve troops gathered in Xiangping City into this attack on Liao."
Speaking of this, Ji Kang paused and said, "I am sending someone to inform the 100,000 reserve troops outside Xiangping City to enter Fanhan and Ancheng. He ordered the generals to go to the front line immediately and organize the army. He also ordered the garrisons and reserve troops in various places to be prepared to enter the battle. He ordered the first batch of 300,000 reserve troops from eighteen to thirty-five to start gathering, gathering in Fanhan, Xing'an and other places to prepare for the battle."
Everyone stood up together and said in unison: "No."
