On August 21, the capital of Yan State Jidu, Jigong.

Ji Kang's father Ji Yun (the author named him, the name of King Xiao of Yan was not found), after reading Ji Kang's letter, he pondered for a long time.

At this time, the historian Gao Yang came over and reported to Ji Yun: "Your Highness, the latest territory map of our Yan State has been hung."

After hearing Gao Yang's words, Ji Yun stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall.

Looking at the latest map of Yan's territory, a stream of passion surged into Ji Yun's heart.

The territory of Yan State, from the geoscopic map, is located in the east to the outer Xing'an Mountains, Sakhalin Island, the north to the Xiongnu, the Donghu Plateau, the west to the Yanshan Mountains, the Taihang Mountains, and the south to the Qi and Zhao countries, and is thousands of miles from east to west.

Historian Gao Yang, behind Ji Yun, looked at the latest geoscopic map of Yan State on the wall, and said to Ji Yun with a choked voice:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is my Yan Kingdom! So beautiful! So spectacular!"

Ji Kang's father Ji Yun, after hearing the words of the historian Gao Yang, did not make a sound, but nodded, stared at the geometric map on the wall, and did not move away for a long time.

The youngest son Ji Kang sounded in his ears, and a passage written in the letter was written: "The territory of Yan is so large that it can be compared with the great countries of Qin and Chu, which are today; the population is so large that it can be compared with the two major countries of Qin and Chu;"

"The fertility of the land is no less than that of Qin and Chu with the development of Liao. The rich resources are even more powerful than that of the world; the sharpness of the army has made the world afraid to underestimate it."

"Now that Qin has begun to annex the world, our Yan Kingdom is in control of the northern part of the Central Plains. Just build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down the competition for hegemony. Watch Qin Kingdom compete with the Central Plains. Just rest for a few years to completely consolidate the foundation of our Yan Kingdom."

"After Qin and the Central Plains are tired of fighting each other, our Yan army can enter the Central Plains, either go south or west. When then, the world will be unified and hegemony will be accomplished."

After thinking about his younger son's words, Ji Yunqiang suppressed his excitement.

Finally, he put his eyes on the geometric map hanging on the wall. It was south of the lower capital of Yan State, and the original Zhongyang County of Yan State.

Then, Ji Yun thought about it for a long time, and then walked towards the bedroom where King Wucheng lived.

After Ji Kang's father Ji Yun explained Ji Kang's thoughts to King Wucheng after he lay on his sickbed.

King Wucheng opened his closed eyes and looked at Prince Ji Yun and said, "Crown Prince, is this Kang'er's idea?"

Ji Yun hurriedly said to King Wucheng: "Father, yes. Kang'er thought that since the Battle of Changping, Zhao State had lost a lot of national strength and could not threaten our Yan State. At present, Zhao State is no longer the main enemy of our Yan State."

"The Qin State now has the momentum to destroy our six countries and unify the world. Our Yan State should adjust its national strategy and must not let Qin State destroy Zhao State. Otherwise, when Qin State occupy Zhao State, it may go north at any time and invade our Yan State."

"Father, Kang'er's idea is consistent with his ministers. This time, Qin invaded Zhao, and our Yan State can no longer help Qin State send troops. We should watch the Qin and Zhao State fight. Now that Qin State is in great power, can Zhao State be safe? It is really unpredictable."

"But our Yan State must not be destroyed by Zhao. The former King Zhao sent an envoy to our Yan State and said that the King of Zhao wanted to make good friends with our Yan State. In this way, our Yan State was just like Kang'er said, watching Qin and Zhao fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

King Wu Cheng coughed a few times, frowned slightly, and gasped and said, "Crown Prince, can Kang'er say, what should I do next in Yan State?"

Ji Kang's father Ji Yun smiled and said to King Wucheng: "Father, Kang'er is now planning to occupy eight cities including Zhongyang County of our Yan State. He wants to take advantage of the dispute between Qin and Zhao to force King Dan of Zhao to return the eight cities that occupied our Yan State to our Yan State."

King Wucheng's eyes lit up. The eight cities in Zhongyang County were thrown out in King Wucheng's hands. Now his health is getting worse day by day. I thought I could not get it back until I died.

If Ji Kang could return these eight cities to Yan State, it would be a great blessing for King Wucheng! In this way, even if he went underground, he would have an explanation to the previous kings of Yan State!

King Wucheng said to the prince Ji Yun tremblingly: "Crown Prince, Kang'er is not bad for me, Ji Fengchu, let him plan these things! You must try your best to give him support."

Prince Ji Yun hurriedly bowed and said to King Wucheng: "Promise."

In early September, Liaonan County, Pingshun City, and the royal palace.

Ji Kang received two letters from his father Ji Yun and his uncle Zhao Dan.

After reading these two letters, Ji Kang laughed.

To Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, four gentlemen, said: "Four gentlemen, now my father has agreed to our Liao territory and asks us to plan to reclaim the city of Yan occupied by Zhao."

"And Zhao Wang Dan also agreed to hand over eight cities including Zhongyang County to my Liao territory in exchange for the support of the Zhao Kingdom's food, weapons and equipment. Now I have sent me a letter to ask my Liao territory to send people to Handan as soon as possible to discuss the matter."

"Four gentlemen, this matter is important, and we cannot take it lightly in Liao. We should send people to Handan as soon as possible to discuss this matter."

After hearing Ji Kang's words, Jun Xiangju Xin stood up and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Junhou said so much. I should not delay this matter in Liao, so I will send people to Handan as soon as possible."

Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai stood up together and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "What the lord and lord say is extremely true, and I will discuss it."

Seeing that his four important officials agreed with their opinions, Ji Kang nodded.

Ji Kang's eyes swept across the four people.

Immediately, the young Junhou cleared his throat and slowly said to Ju Xin and the other four:

"Four gentlemen, I want to send two gentlemen, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, to Handan. The two gentlemen can fully represent our Liao territory, discuss cooperation matters with Zhao State on our Liao territory, and sign a cooperation agreement between the two parties. I wonder what the four gentlemen think?"

Ju Xin and the other four gentlemen looked at each other and immediately understood Ji Kang's thoughts.

Lu Zhonglian was good at strategy and military, and was also a strategist; let alone Su Dai, in this era, he was a well-known Hezong family, and he was extremely familiar with the situation of the Zhao court.

If Lu Zhong and Su Dai go to Handan, they will definitely negotiate a good agreement with Zhao.

Of course, everyone had no objection to this.

Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai stood up together, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "We and the two of us will not let down the entrusted lords."

Ji Kang nodded, then frowned slightly, as if he had remembered something.

After a while, he said to Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai: "Two gentlemen, you can take people to Zhao State by naval ship. In this way, the journey will be shortened by half and it will be more comfortable."

"In addition, when you two go, our Liao land can be equipped with merchant ships, first loading a batch of grain and bronze weapons and equipment. You two can take them to Handan, Zhao State. In this way, we can show our Liao land's sincerity."

"Also, we must help Zhao eliminate Qin's internal forces, especially Lou Chang. After you two arrive in Handan, the intelligence agencies will give you evidence. You two need to find a way to expose this evidence to the King of Zhao, but not exposing this information was done by our Liao territory."

After hearing Ji Kang's words, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai looked at each other, bowed to Ji Kang together and said, "I understand."

Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Ji Kang smiled and said to everyone: "Since that's the case, let's go and do your own business! My Liao land is precious now and I can't afford to delay it."

Ju Xin and four other gentlemen said together: "No."

After the four gentlemen left, Ji Kang came to the wall with a map hanging and looked at Zhongyang County.

After a long time, his eyes swept southwest, first looked at Wu'an (Wu'an City, Hebei), then looked at the cities of Zhao State such as Taiyuan County, and finally looked at Pi Lao (now the area of ​​Shanxi Yicheng).

After a while, he said softly: "The Qin army led by Wang Ling has set out from Xianyang now! The Battle of Handan, the Battle of Moscow in this era is about to start."

As Ji Kang said, after receiving the imperial edict from King Yingji of Qin, Wang Ling, in August, assembled 200,000 Qin troops from Bashu and various places in Xianyang, and then joined 100,000 Qin troops at Hangu Pass, totaling 300,000.

He boarded a ship in Xianyang in early September and came to Zhao along the Wei River.

Wang Ling stood on the boat, looked at the many ships carrying Qin soldiers on the Wei River, and said to the deputy general Sima Geng beside him: "General Sima, what do you think about our army's conquest of Zhao State?"

Sima Ge is ill, and he didn't expect the head coach Wang Ling to ask this question.

After pondering for a moment, he said to Wang Ling: "General, last year's Battle of Changping. A certain general is in Bashu. He is only responsible for supplying food and grass for our army, and has not participated in the Battle of Changping. He is not familiar with the tactics and combat power of the Zhao army, and he hopes that the general will correct him."

After hearing Sima Geng's words, Wang Ling sighed and said to Sima Geng:

"General Sima, the Battle of Changping last year was tragic!"

"Under the leadership of Wu'anjun, our army annihilated the entire Zhao army forty-five thousand, the Qin army also suffered as many as 250,000 casualties, and also suffered heavy losses!"

"This time I have to transfer your 100,000 troops from Bashu."

After hearing this, Sima Geng frowned slightly, looked around, and then whispered to Wang Ling: "General, since our army suffered heavy casualties, it is reasonable to have at least two years of cultivation and rest."

"Why did the king insist that our army attack Zhao State now? Moreover, General Bai Qi is so powerful that why didn't Wu'anjun lead his army to attack Zhao State?"

Wang Ling also looked around and saw that they were close to each other. He also whispered to Sima Geng: "General Sima, we are all following the generals of Wu'an Jun, and naturally hope that Wu'an Jun can lead us."

"I don't want to be this head coach! I heard that Wu'an Jun opposed this expedition, so he was unwilling to lead the army. For this reason, the king was furious. My king arranged for me to be this head coach, and I was helpless!"

Sima Geng understood and nodded.

Then, together with Wang Ling, the two of them looked at the ships above the Wei River, and they didn't speak for a long time.

According to Ji Kang's instructions, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai did not stop. They took naval ships at the newly built Huajinli Port, carrying the first batch of food, weapons and equipment to support Zhao, and traveled day and night to Handan.

After landing at Wuqing Port (Tianjin) in Zhangwu County, Yan State, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, led everyone, immediately changed to land, with food and other supplies, and passed through Zhongyang County, which was about to be accepted in Liao, and headed towards Handan of Zhao State.

Lu Zhonglian, Su Dai and others arrived at the capital of Zhao State in late September.

At this time, the 300,000 Qin troops led by Wang Ling had already arrived in the territory of Zhao.
