Chapter 11 Methods (Part 1)
In Ji Kang's heart, he had always had an idea, but no one told him.
Ji Kang believed that the best time for Liao and Yan to sweep the world was after the end of the Battle of Handan.
At that time, all the countries in the world were exhausted, and except for Qi, the national strength of the other six countries was basically greatly exhausted.
The strength of Qin State also dropped to its lowest point since King Yingji of Qin ascended the throne.
If Liao and Yan were ready at this time, they would first cooperate with other countries to destroy Qin. Then they would spend some time to march southward and annihilate other countries one by one, so that the time for the unification of the world would be greatly advanced.
But Ji Kang also understood that what you do must be realistic, or it can be said to be a judging the situation.
This truth can also be said to be the truth. In Ji Kang's previous life, there were countless examples of success and failure. Among them, China also used countless painful lessons to prove this truth.
People should not walk too fast, otherwise they will easily fall; the bow should not be pulled too full, otherwise they will easily break.
Haste means failure, and this is the same.
At present, the most important thing about Liaodi is to continue to develop and lay a solid foundation.
At the same time, we must take into account the development of the mother country Yan State and stabilize the situation of Yan State.
If you want to go smoothly and more steadily in the future, you can't avoid Yan State.
Thinking about the current situation in Yan State and the people in the court again, Ji Kang felt a headache when he thought of it.
The ignorant king and relatives, the greedy nobles, and the arrogant ministers of the court.
Just like Ji Kang's previous life, he was not afraid of any difficult jobs he had done outside. But when he returned to the agency, he felt like he wanted to "hit the wall" when he encountered the complex interpersonal relationships and things in the agency.
However, it seems that he finally listened to some of the truths he instilled in him after his father came to Liaodi last time.
This time, Yan State only increased its troops on the border, and did not immediately start military friction with Zhao State as in the previous life.
At present, the information from the Intelligence Bureau from the Yanzhao border also proves that the two armies on the Yanzhao border are still restrained and have not provoked each other to each other.
Ji Kang only hopes that this situation can be maintained.
In Ji Kang's view, Yan and Zhao's mutual hatred over the years are simply unreasonable.
But when I came to this world and carefully analyzed it, I found that the relationship between the two countries was so bad, which was also an inevitable phenomenon.
In the historical development process, Yan and Zhao will inevitably encounter such hostility. Just like Ji Kang's previous life, China will inevitably encounter the principle of suppression of the world's largest power in the process of modern development.
Since its founding, Yan State has been developing east and north. In the past, kings of all dynasties never thought of going south. They were originally just like the wells and rivers that did not interfere with Zhao State.
Between Yan and Zhao, there is Dai in the west and Zhongshan in the south.
For a period of time, the relationship between Yan and Zhao was quite good and they were in peace. Because both countries had a common enemy at that time - Zhongshan.
Since the three families divided Jin, Zhao State has not been so powerful at the beginning.
During the development of Zhao State, since Ji Kang's great-grandfather King Wuling of Zhao carried out the military reform of "Hu Clothing, Horse and Shooting", the military strength began to gradually become stronger.
Since then, the State of Zhao began to expand rapidly around, and later swallowed up Dai and Zhongshan countries, defeated the Linhu and Loufan tribes, opened up Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dai counties, and built the "Zhao Great Wall".
Now, Yan and Zhao finally have a full border!
At the same time, two powerful kings appeared in both countries one after another. Yan State was Ji Kang's great-grandfather King Zhao of King Zhao, and Zhao State was Ji Kang's great-grandfather King Wuling of King Zhao.
For the interests of their respective countries and for the future of their respective countries.
Yan State wants to go south, Zhao State wants to go north. This is the national policy formulated by Yan and Zhao, which is the fundamental direction of the future development of the two countries.
But during the reign of King Zhao of Yan and King Wuling of Zhao, the two countries were able to control each other and did not have too much military friction, because the two kings and two countries knew that both sides were not so easy to mess with.
When King Zhao of Yan and King Wuling of Zhao passed away, the two countries became lively.
Seeing that Yan State failed to attack Qi, there was also chaos within the country, Zhao State continued to send troops to attack Yan State.
At this time, Yan State was weak and was no match for Zhao State!
What to do? I can only find foreign aid.
It just so happened that at this time, Qin State also wanted to go east, annex the six countries, and unify the world.
Especially now, King Yingji of Qin, who was very talented and wise, adopted the "family and close attack" of Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui, and regarded the powerful Zhao Kingdom as his biggest opponent.
In this case, King Wucheng, the grandfather of Ji Kang of Yan State, and King Yingji of Qin, hit it off and signed an alliance to jointly deal with Zhao State.
This is also the saying that Ji Kang often said in his previous life: There are no eternal enemies between countries, only common interests.
After Yan and Qin signed an alliance, it played a great role in Qin's ability to completely defeat Zhao in the Battle of Changping.
During the Battle of Changping, the military confrontation between Yan and Zhao on the border was beneficial to involve Zhao's army.
The two armies of Pang Qian and Li Mu from Dai County in the northern part of Zhao State were not afraid to go south and participate in the Battle of Changping.
In Ji Kang's view, if these two Zhao troops were allowed to participate in the Battle of Changping, whether Qin could win was a question. After all, Li Mu and Pang Xian were both two cruel people who left a great reputation in the history of their previous lives!
Ji Kang believed that in the Battle of Changping, Yan State helped Qin State and restrained Zhao State's power.
Otherwise, if Zhao defeated Qin, then Zhao would inevitably go north to annex Yan, and Yan would destroy the country.
However, a country's strategy must be adjusted accordingly as things change. It cannot be rigid in thought, hold on to everything in the past, and do not change anything.
On this issue, China suffered too much losses in the history of Ji Kang's previous life, and countless losses were immeasurable.
Qin finally defeated Zhao in the Battle of Changping, and wiped out all the troops of Zhao forty-five. At this time, Qin's strength was already the first of the six countries, and had the power to annex the six countries and unify the world.
At this time, Zhao State's strength was sharply reduced and its national strength was weak. It could no longer pose a threat to Yan State.
In Ji Kang's view, Yan State should immediately adjust its national policy and unite Zhao to resist Qin!
We should not just hold the Yan and Qin alliance like now, and regard Zhao as an enemy like Yan Xiang, and prepare to take the blame on Zhao State.
Ji Kang actually has a "blind spot" now. Although he has not returned to Jidu for so many years, through his actions in Liao in recent years, his influence has long exceeded his imagination.
Now let alone the kings and leaders of various countries in the world, who don’t know the name of Ji Kang, the king of Liaocheng?
There are many people in the Central Plains who have called the "Four Masters of the World" the current Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, and Xinling Jun Wei Wuji.
It is Ji Kang who has been lying in Liaodi in the past few years, focusing on developing himself without knowing his influence.
After the four gentlemen, Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, left.
Ji Kang walked slowly to the geometric map hanging on the wall in the hall, watching the military deployment on the border between Yan and Zhao, but did not move for a long time.
From the map, the border troops of Yan and Zhao countries are intertwined. If you are not careful, a war will really happen!
When Wangcai returned to the harem, he was brought to Pingshun City by his mother Ji Zhao. As soon as he saw Ji Kang, he stepped on his four legs and ran towards Ji Kang as usual.
As usual, Ji Kang stroked Wangcai's head a few times, while muttering: "You Wangcai! I heard that you came to Pingshun City and went out to find two more "wifeses". It's really inappropriate, you are simply a lustful dog!"
Wangcai rubbed Ji Kang's calves with his head, and a grievance barking sounded in his mouth, trying to please Ji Kang.
Ji Kang was very happy when he saw it!
He patted Wangcai's head twice and said to him: "What did you say? They seduce you! You Wangcai! This is not acceptable, we must dare to act. Let's go, don't be wronged, let's go see your mother."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the courtyard of his mother Ji Zhao with Wangcai.
After walking into the hall where my mother lives, I met with my mother Ji Zhao.
Seeing that his mother was frowning, Ji Kang turned his head and looked at Qingzhu and Qingmei beside his mother.
Qingzhu quietly stretched out her finger and pointed to a piece of silk on Ji Zhao's desk. Ji Kang saw it and understood.
He said to his mother Ji Zhao: "Mother, is this a handwritten letter from my uncle to you?"
Ji Zhao looked at Ji Kang, sighed, and said to Ji Kangyan: "Kang'er, your uncle wrote a letter saying that Qin has sent a large army to conquer Zhao. Now our Yan State has also deployed troops to the Yan and Zhao border and wants to invade Zhao. If the two countries do not do it well, they will meet each other. What should we do?"
Ji Kang smiled and said to Ji Zhao: "Mother, my uncle also wrote me. He said he wanted my Liaodi to help Zhao's country with food and military supplies. I discussed it with Ju Xiang and others and agreed to my uncle's request. Mother, don't bother me, you have a son here."
Seeing his son giving him face like this, Ji Zhao was also very happy, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
He said to Ji Kang again: "But at present, how can we untie the knot between our Yan State and Zhao State? At this time, my Yan State wants to send troops south to attack Zhao State?"
After hearing his mother's words, Ji Kang didn't know how to answer.
He could only say to Ji Zhao: "Mother, don't worry, your son will find a way."
Then, Ji Kang sighed and said to his mother: "There are many problems between the two countries now. Mother, to be honest, wouldn't it be great if the borders between Yan and Zhao could be separated?"
After saying that, Ji Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly at his mother.
