Chapter 56 Preparation (Part 2)
On March 3rd, everything will be auspicious. Xiangping City Junhou Mansion, inner courtyard.
Today is the day when Ji Kang first went to war. Before dawn, the entire Junhou Mansion began to be noisy.
Ji Kang also got up early and had breakfast with his mother Ji Zhao. With the help of Qingzhu and Qingmei, he put on the armor he had prepared for his battle robe but had never worn before.
Wear armor, cloak, and wear the steel sword at your waist. The battle robe and cloak are red like the Liao army. The bright red cloak sets off Ji Kang more handsomely and upright.
When Ji Kingdom was invaded Liao in the year before the year before, Ji Kang thought of today. Ji Kang felt no guilt in the slightest of guilt about this conquest of Ji Kingdom.
Ji Kang didn't want to become King Han Henghui at this time, nor did he want to let others beat and scold him without fighting back like Huaxia in his previous life when he first came to this world.
Ji Kang knew deeply that the Ji Kingdom was the throat of the land of China, and its geographical location was very important.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has included the Ji Kingdom in its territory. But then, with the rise and fall of the Central Plains Kingdom, this land was also in harmony with China.
Although in Ji Kang's previous life, many dynasties did not include Ji Kingdom, there were many dynasties that sent troops to him.
The Tang Dynasty and Japan broke out here, which made Japan honest for hundreds of years; the Ming Dynasty and Japan fought a tug-of-war with each other for seven years, and the famous battles included the fierce battles of the "Sichuan Battle", "Jinzhou Battle", and "Luliang Battle".
It is the battle to lay the foundation for Ji Kang's founding of the country in this land.
For the birth and security of the New China, Taizu, who had just founded the country, decided to send troops to North Korea in the second year of its founding. In Ji Kang's previous life, these predecessors, holding simple weapons and wearing single clothes in the severe winter, fought hard on this land for four years with the enemies of the sixteen countries armed to their teeth. In the end, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of casualties, the enemy forces were forced to sit down at the negotiating table and signed a ceasefire agreement.
After Ji Kang put on his armor, he looked at Qingzhu, Qingmei and the others and said to them softly: "I will work hard after I leave. You two will serve your mother and wait for me to come back."
Qingzhu and Qingmei, when they heard this, their eyes turned red, but they knew they could not shed tears at this moment. Both of them lowered their heads, flattened their hands to their left chest (pressed their right hand to their left hand), and gave them to Ji Kang formally worshipped.
Without hesitation, Ji Kang turned around and walked out of the dormitory. Shi Gan and the others, who were also wearing armor, came to their mother's Ji Zhao's courtyard and said goodbye to their mother.
When I arrived at my mother's main house, I found that my mother Ji Zhao was wearing the formal attire of the prince's concubine, sitting upright in the main seat, her eyes were red, but her face was smiling.
Ji Kang and Shi Gan knelt down together and kowtowed to their mother Ji Zhao three times.
After the visit, Ji Kang said to his mother Ji Zhao, "Mother, my son is about to go to the army. Now I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Ji Zhao stood up and looked at his son, with thousands of words in his heart, but at this moment he forced himself to smile and said, "I wish my son a success and return in triumph."
After saying that, he closed his hands together, raised them high above his head, bowed to his son Ji Kang. This is the etiquette that the mistress must perform for his relatives on the war. Qingzhu, Qingmei, and the servants in the house, and the palace maids all knelt down to salute Ji Kang.
Ji Kang and Shi Gan bowed and bowed again, and returned the gift to everyone.
Ji Kang smiled and said to his mother, "Please rest assured, my son will say goodbye."
After saying that, he stopped hesitating. He lifted his cloak and turned around and walked out of the house, not daring to look at his mother Ji Zhao's expression again.
After walking out of the house, Wangcai came forward. As usual, Ji Kang bent down and stroked Wangcai's head, and instructed Wangcai: "Look at home and take good care of the door."
Wangcai looked at Ji Kang and Shi Gan, and rubbed Ji Kang's hand in a humanized manner. Ji Kang patted Wangcai's head, stood up, and walked towards the outer courtyard with Shi Gan. Wangcai followed Ji Kang and went to the door of the outer courtyard. Then he screamed twice in aggrievedly and watched Ji Kang and Shi Gan leave.
When they arrived at the outer courtyard, many officials such as Jun Xiangju Xin, the old director Zou Yan, Yaqing Su Dai, the boss manager Ji Mao were waiting for a long time in the outer courtyard.
Seeing Ji Kang come out, they bowed to Ji Kang together and said, "I wish you a triumphant return."
Ji Kang bowed back and said to Ju Xin and others: "I'll ask you all the masters in the back."
Then, he turned his head to Lu Zhonglian and said, "Director Lu, let's go!"
Lu Zhong bowed and replied, "Abide by the orders of the king and the lord."
Ji Kang nodded without stopping, accompanied by Lu Zhonglian, Shi Gan and others, accompanied by Tian Guang, the battalion commander of the security battalion, he rode his van to the military camp outside the city.
When he arrived at the military camp, he and the last batch of 10,000 cavalry and more than 30,000 reserve troops led by General Liu Sheng, marched towards the Fan Han Han. General Rong Fen and many other generals had already gone to Fan Han, Xing'an and other places.
Just as the Liaoji War was about to break out, the Central Plains countries did not calm down.
The capital of Qin State, Xianyang, the royal palace.
King Yingji of Qin looked at Prime Minister Fan Sui and said, "Prime Minister, now our Qin army has withdrawn. Now, according to the peace agreement signed with Zhao and South Korea, our Qin State should also accept the eight cities in this agreement. In your opinion, who should I accept the six cities ceded by Zhao State?"
Fan Sui lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said to King Yingji of Qin: "King, the former prime minister, Lou Yan, is more familiar with Zhao State, and he was a minister in Zhao State, and his son Lou Chang was even a chief doctor of Zhao State. King, can you let Lord Lou Yan go to negotiate with King Zhao to accept the ceded Zhao State to the six cities of Qin State?"
The King of Qin thought for a while and said to Fan Sui: "Good. Let the Prime Minister ask Lou to Zhao and accept these six cities of our Qin!"
And the Yanzhao border is also very uneasy at this moment.
During the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo was dismissed by Zhao Kuo, dismissed from office and dismissed from office and rushed back to Handan for standby because of the three deputy generals of Zhao Kuo's war.
At that time, Zhao Guogang appointed Zhao Kuo as the commander of the Zhao army in Shangdang. Because of Zhao Kuo's relationship, Zhao Wangdan refused to listen at all and was driven back to Handan by Zhao Kuo. The defense and explanation of the three Zhao generals including Fu Bao Bao. If it weren't for the outstanding military achievements of the three people, Zhao Bao, the King of Zhao would have imprisoned the three of them in prison at that time.
In the end, King Zhao did not pay much attention to the three generals including Fu Bao. He demoted Fu Bao and the other three to the border of Yanzhao, a place called Wu Yuan, and appointed Fu Bao as the county magistrate, Wang Rong and Su She as their deputy, and ignored him again.
In the end, in the decisive battle of Changping, the entire Zhao army was wiped out. The three of them thought that Zhao Wangdan must have known that their opinions were right at the time and would reuse them again. But until now, the three of them have not received any information.
The three of them secretly hated each other in their hearts, gathered together to discuss their future prospects.
Su She was the youngest among the three. At this time, she looked at Fu Bao and Wang Rong and said to them: "Two brothers, now it seems that my brother was completely abandoned by King Zhao. General Lian Po and our strategy in Changping are correct, but the king was foolish and replaced General Lian Po, resulting in a disastrous defeat in the army. Now we are also allowed to stay in Wuyuan and ignore us. What should we do in the future?"
Wang Rong also sighed and said, "Don't complain. Now General Lian Po is back in Handan, and the king also ignores him. It is reported that when General Lian Po loses power, General Lian Po's disciples have all run away. No one is willing to stay by General Lian Po's side anymore, let alone the three of us? This... this king is simply foolish and incompetent!"
When Fu Bao heard this, he was shocked and said to Wang Rong and Su She, "Two brothers, please be careful! If this statement comes to Handan, we and the other three may be killed!"
Su She was beside her, curled her lips and said to Fubao: "Brother Fubao, here is our third brother, why are you still careful about your words? Who cares about us? The king can appoint Zhao Kuo as the commander of our Shangdang army, which has caused our entire army to be wiped out, and the Zhao country's family is filial. Who is he stupid? Brother, am I wrong?"
Seeing the two of them like this, Fu Bao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said to them: "Two brothers, what do you think, what should we do in the future?"
When Su She heard this, she said without thinking: "Two brothers, brothers, I'll tell you bluntly that the King of Zhao has thrown us in the small town on the border of Zhaoyan, and Wuyuan City is adjacent to Yan State. Now the border between Yan and Zhao army is constantly friction. When the Yan army comes, the three of us will die! No one will send troops to help us."
Wang Rong frowned, thought for a while, and said to the two in a low voice: "Two brothers, our brothers and third brothers cannot wait to die like this here! Judging from a certain general, our Zhao State has now been wiped out for 450,000 troops in Shangdang, and its national strength is empty."
"I heard that my State of Zhao ceded six more cities and gave them to Qin. Now, let alone being the opponent of Qin, I am afraid that even Yan is not as good as Yan. Anyway, we cannot get heavy use in Zhao, so it is better to surrender to Yan. Yan will definitely give us a good future."
After hearing Wang Rong's words, Fu Bao and Su She looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Su She thought for a while, and made up her mind and said to Fu Bao and Wang Rong: "Two brothers, since King Zhao is unkind to us, don't blame us for being unrighteous."
Speaking of this, Su She looked at the Bianbao, and Wang Rong and the others said, "We had always followed General Lian Po, but now, General Lian Po, who made great contributions to Zhao State, have been abandoned by King Zhao and will not be valued."
"In my opinion, the age of the old General Lian Po will not be appointed by King Zhao in the future. Even the old General Lian Po is like this, let alone the three of us? Since that's the case, let's just turn to Yan State."
After hearing the words of Wang Rong and Su She, Fu Bao stood up, walked around the house twice, clenched his fist with his right hand, and slapped his left palm, making up his mind.
He said to Wang Rong and Su She: "Two brothers, just as you said just now, King Zhao is not kind, don't blame my brother for being unrighteous. Since both brothers have the idea of joining Yan State, I will go with you! But this matter must be very confidential, just let me know about it, and my family cannot tell you."
"Now we will send someone to Jidu secretly to meet Yan Xiang. If Yan Xiang agrees to submit to Yan State, our brother-third will present Wuyuan city to Yan State, so that we can have a good future."
Seeing that Fu Bao also agreed, Su She and Wang Rong nodded.
