Chapter 49 Stealing Talismans (1)
Ji Kang looked at the people in the cabinet, pondered for a moment, and finally emphasized,
"Dear sirs, General Rong Fen, in my opinion, this Battle of Handan is the best opportunity for the Central Plains to jointly attack Qin and defeat Qin, and it is also the last chance."
"But from the situation where the Wei army stationed in Yecheng, called saving Zhao, it is actually holding both ends to wait and see. Then from the information in our Liao area, we learned that the King of Chu is now ordering Chunshen Jun Huang Xie to lead troops to support Zhao, and to move slowly along the way."
"Not to mention Qi, Han and even Yan, we, were ignorant of the war between Qin and Zhao in Handan. We knew that the Central Plains countries were all based on their own interests and were intrigue."
"Actually everyone knows that if Qin State conquered Handan and destroyed Zhao State, it would be bad for their respective countries. But they all handled the idea of letting other countries do their best to enjoy their success, and the Battle of Handan between Qin and Zhao State."
Speaking of this, Ji Kang smiled and then said to everyone in the cabinet:
"This attitude of the Central Plains countries is not a good thing for the next step in our Liao territory. But the premise is that we must achieve the strategic goal of our Liao territory in this Battle of Handan - to completely wipe out or severely damage the Qin army."
"It is not a shame to say that according to the strength and development of our Liao area, the intelligence analysis obtained from all aspects, other countries are no longer the opponents of our Liao area, and the preliminary conditions for our Liao area to unify the world are already met."
After hearing what Ji Kang said, everyone in the cabinet looked at each other, and like Ji Kang, there was a smile on their faces.
After ten years of hard development in Liao, building for ten years, working hard and expanding territory, my lord and princes have finally made their minds clear with everyone and are ready to unify this world of war-torn wars?
Ji Kang's words continued to ring in everyone's ears:
"The Qin State has a vast territory, fertile land, the people are tenacious and enduring, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and are brave and fearless in the battlefield. This is the biggest obstacle to unification of the world in Liao territory."
"The Qin State has been greatly damaged since the Battle of Changping. If the Qin State can completely wipe out or severely damage these hundreds of thousands of Qin troops under Handan City, the Qin State will be in a slump, and it will take at least twenty years to recover."
"It is very important for our Liao territory to take out these twenty years. Since then, our Liao territory can do a lot of things we want to do during this period, and strengthen our Liao territory and even the Yan Kingdom."
"This time our army raided Shangdang and cut off the Qin army's retreat. We must recognize the risks we face. Therefore, all departments in our Liao area must actively cooperate with our Liao area's military operations."
"The Intelligence Director Huang Yong has personally gone to Taiyuan County and Shangdang County to preside over the spying on various intelligences of the Qin army. The Director of the Supervision Institute, Ji Mao, is also in Jidu, responsible for the movements of the courts of Yan State and the Central Plains."
"The Navy dispatched part of the navy to escort food and grass, and military funds to Zhongyang County. In addition, we will seize the time to train the new navy. We will actively explore the sea routes to Qi and Chu."
"In this battle in Handan, General Rong Far will be the first, second and third army, and will be transferred to General Liu Sheng as your deputy general and political commissar of the military headquarters, Lieutenant General Rong Yan, Zuo Zong and Hu Guiliang, the first, second and third army, and you will go to the battle."
Therefore, Guiliang was appointed as Lieutenant General by Ji Kang and the commander of the Third Army since last year.
After hearing this, Rong Qi stood up, folded his fists and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "I obey the order."
Ji Kang turned around and said to Jun Xiang Ju Xin: "Jiu Xiang, how many fire thunders in my Liao land are in stock now?"
Ju Xin stood up and replied:
"Your Majesty, in addition to the throwing hand training consumption, there are still 200,000 in stocks."
Ji Kang nodded and said to Ju Xin: "Give out 100,000 immediately to give the army that I will go to fight this time."
Ji Kang looked at everyone and ordered Shi Gan beside him to say, "Go and take the tiger talisman and the written lord."
The tiger talisman system in Liao is now different from that of the Central Plains, and is divided into four types: gold, silver, copper and iron.
The gold tiger talisman is the highest tiger talisman, which can command the entire army in Liao territory; the silver tiger talisman, which can command the Liao army; the bronze tiger talisman, which can command the Liao division; the iron tiger talisman, which can command the Liao brigade.
In addition to the tiger talisman, while communicating troops, there must be a ruling order from the lord's mansion, and both are indispensable.
After Shi Gan led two attendants to take the tiger talisman and the king's order, Ji Kang stood up and said to the general Rongfu:
"General Rongfu obeys the order. Now I order you to be the commander of the Liao army in front of Handan, let's receive the order!"
Rong Fen knelt on one knee, raised his hands high, and shouted, "I will receive the order!"
Ji Kang slowly walked down the pavilion steps, came to Rongfu, took the golden tiger talisman and the king's order from Shi Gan, and solemnly handed it to Rongfu.
He said to Rong Fen: "General Rong, please get up. This battle in Handan will have a great relationship with our Liao, Yan, and the Central Plains. I will ask you everything."
Rong Fen took the tiger talisman and the king's order, stood up, and said to Ji Kang: "I will not let down the lord's lord."
Ji Kang nodded and explained to Rongfu again: "According to our Liao area deployment, as long as we can annihilate the Qin army led by Sima Geng, we can block the Qin army's retreat from Shangdang. We must not let our Liao army fight to the main force of the Qin army."
"The Director of Intelligence Huang Yong and others will provide you with information from the Qin army on the front line and even the armies of various countries. All departments in our Liao area will also closely cooperate with the operations of our Liao area."
"The purpose of our Liao army to Zhao State is to block the retreat of the main force of the Qin army on the one hand; on the other hand, it is to force the chief commander of the Qin army, Wang Yi, to lead hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Qin army to fight to the death with the coalition forces of Zhao, Wei, Chu and even South Korea, thereby weakening the military strength of various countries."
"But the specific operation is not interfering with you and the generals in front of me in Liaodi will discuss and decide."
After hearing Ji Kang's words, everyone in the pavilion sucked in their hearts and said to themselves: "My lord is so cruel!"
Rong Qi looked at Ji Kang, understood Ji Kang's thoughts, and bowed with his fists and said, "No."
Speaking of this, Ji Kang took a step back, Ju Xin and others in the cabinet also stood up and came behind Ji Kang.
Ji Kang, Ju Xin and others bowed to Rongfu:
"I wish General Rongfeng and our Liao army a success and return in triumphant success!"
In the first year of King Xiao of Yan, early March.
After receiving a letter from Zhao Wangdan, the king of Liaocheng, Ji Kang, discussed with important officials in Liao, and decided to send troops to Zhao State.
Then Ji Kang appointed General Rong Fran as the head commander and General Liu Sheng as the deputy general. He led three armies, nearly 100,000 Liao army, and went south to Zhongyang County to prepare to participate in the Battle of Handan.
At the same time, King Mi Wan of Chu asked Chunshen Jun Huang Xie to lead 100,000 Chu troops to slowly head north towards Handan of Zhao.
However, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, who agreed to his brother-in-law Pingyuan Jun, and advised him to send troops to aid Zhao, was in trouble at this time.
Because Wei King Wei did not agree to Wei Wuji's request at all, he had no intention of sending Wei troops to Handan to rescue Zhao State.
On March 16th, Daliang, the capital of Wei State, the palace hall.
Today, in the court of Wei State, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji and Wei Wang, the King of Wei, started arguing again over the issue of sending troops to Handan.
Wei Wuji tried hard to persuade the King of Wei: "King, the relationship between our Wei and Zhao is now a relationship of dependence on each other. Zhao was destroyed by Qin, how can our Wei Kingdom survive alone? Saving Zhao means saving our Wei Kingdom!"
"King, please ask my king to order the General Jin Bi who is stationed in Yecheng to lead our 100,000 troops of Wei State to immediately send troops to Handan to attack the Qin army. In this way, both our Wei State and Zhao State will be safe!"
Wei sneered a few times and said to Wei Wuji: "Mr. Xinling, this is a bad word! In my opinion, our army cannot be dispatched! The survival of Handan is still unclear; and the winning or loss of the Qin and Zhao armies under Handan city is not clear."
"If our Wei army fails to rescue, after the Qin army captures Handan, they will definitely turn around and attack our Wei State. At that time, will it be the same as attracting fire to burn our body?"
To tell the truth, Wei Wuji's power is also very strong in the Wei State. Otherwise, he would not have been called the "Four Great Princes of the World" by the people of the times.
Xinling Jun is kind and kind, and treats others politely. Even those who are incompetent, he is willing to date. He never treats others with his wealth and honor. Therefore, famous people in the world rushed to join him.
The guests under Wei Wuji's disciples often remained at around 3,000. Therefore, they were very afraid of Wei King Wei.
After hearing the words of Wei Wuji and Wei, the court of Wei suddenly became noisy.
The court officials who supported Xinling and the court officials who supported the King of Wei suddenly became quarreled in the court.
But no matter what, the military power of Wei State was in the hands of King Wei Wei. No matter how Xinling Jun and the ministers who supported him advised and advised the King of Wei, Wei was unmoved.
After a long quarrel, Wei Wuji and others had no choice.
Wei Wuji returned to the mansion in shame as before, sighing to the sky.
At this time, the servant came to report that Wei Wuji's sister Zhao Wei sent another letter to Wei Wuji.
After Wei Wuji opened his sister's letter, he saw a passage in the letter, which roughly means:
"...Xinling Jun, Xinling Jun, where is your virtue of helping others gone? My sister is worried that Handan City will be destroyed, so she cried day and night, and her tears have dried up. If she cried again, she will bleed out."
"Mr. Xinling, if you don't miss Zhao, why can't you even forget your sister..."
After reading his sister's letter, Wei Wuji felt resentment towards Wei King Wei, like a river, and kept talking.
He suddenly stood up and said to Wei Qing, the general manager who was waiting beside him:
"No matter what the King of Wei is, I want to go to help Zhao, even if I die in the battlefield, I will be fine. I ordered the guests from the mansion to follow me to rescue Zhao. I, Xinling, welcome me; if I don't want to go, give them some money and let them go back!"
After hearing Wei Wuji's words, Wei Qing bowed to Wei Wuji and said, "Promise."
