Bai Yan watched Yao Jia persuading the Zhang clan members, starting from the comparison between Qin and Han, then to the Qin army in the new city, from the royal family members, to the nobles and nobles.
Yao Jia explained the advantages, benefits, and consequences one by one, hoping that the Zhang family would be willing to submit to the Qin State, and that one day they would be able to obtain the position of Qin Guoqing.
It was a good thing that Zhang Hui and his son were here. They didn't have much intention to resist Qin. They knew that Yao Jia was not bluffing, and the position of Qin's minister was naturally not comparable to that of Korea's minister.
However, Zhang Ping, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Sheng had indifferent expressions on their faces, showing no signs of movement.
Afterwards, no matter how Yao Jia tried to coerce and induce, the three of them were indifferent and bluntly stated that Han would not surrender to Qin.
After talking for a while.
From the beginning, they were harmonious, but later on, brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Sheng began to refute Yao Jia, and when they mentioned Han Fei later, their words gradually contained a hint of anger.
"Cough cough cough~!"
When Zhang Ping heard Han Fei's name, he looked at Yao Jia with a rather unkind look and full of anger.
The next moment, Zhang Ping suddenly began to cough violently, his whole body began to shake slightly, and his sickly pale face was full of pain.
Brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Sheng quickly brought tea to Zhang Ping.
Zhang Liang looked at his father with worried eyes.
What comes to mind.
Zhang Liang turned his head, looked at Yao Jia, and said.
"The Zhang family has been ministering to Han for the fifth generation. Apart from Han, the Zhang family will not be ministers of other countries."
Perhaps Zhang Liang knew clearly that his father would never surrender to Qin, so he spoke with less and less scruples.
Speaking of the back.
"Yingzheng appoints sycophants and abandons virtuous people. Qin's soldiers are cruel and unkind. The tiger Qin will perish!"
As Zhang Liang spoke loudly, he said this to Yao Jia with an indignant look.
There is no point in continuing this conversation.
In one sentence, he scolded King Qin Yingzheng, scolded Yao Jia, and scolded Bai Yan. In front of Yao Jia, who was the envoy of Qin, he bluntly said that Qin would surely perish.
Yao Jia didn't seem to have thought that Zhang Ping's eldest son would be so rude and leave no room for him.
Bai Yan stood behind Yao Jia, never speaking, looking at this scene with a dull expression.
He was not surprised by Zhang Liang's words. If Zhang Liang had not been impulsive, he would not have said what he said yesterday and what happened next.
Standing on the shoulders of the giant Zhang family since childhood, how could Zhang Liang, a son of the gentry who was well-dressed and well-fed, know what it means to be forbearing?
Especially now, the Han who is the 'Fifth Generation of Han' is about to be destroyed.
Before coming, he had guessed that Yao Jiading's trip would be in vain this time.
"Farewell!"
Under the astonished gazes of Zhang Xian and others, Yao Jia looked very unkind, but said nothing more, raised his hands in greeting, and stood up to leave.
Bai Yan held the Qin sword in his hand. When he saw Zhang Liang glaring at him, he turned around and followed Yao Jia out of the pavilion.
This time Yao Jia is coming.
He also wanted to confirm whether the man yesterday was Zhang Liang.
At present, Yao Jia's persuasion is fruitless, but he has confirmed that it is Zhang Liang.
"Zifang, you shouldn't miss your words!"
Bai Yan listened to the voice of Zhang Xiao in the pavilion behind him and followed Yao Jia towards the gate of the mansion.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Shuo, under Zhang Xiao's instructions, sent Bai Yan and Yao Jia to the gate of the mansion.
On the way back.
Yesterday's dark clouds began to drizzle, with drops of rain falling on the roof of the carriage.
Listening to the noise, Yao Jia in the carriage closed his eyes, his expression not very good.
Bai Yan knew that the reason why Yao Jia was like this was not because of Zhang Liang's words, but because of Zhang's attitude towards resisting Qin.
After Han General Shen Juan advocated resistance to Qin, Zhang Ping and his son had such an attitude. Although Han Wangan was still hesitant, Shen Juan and Zhang continued to advise, and the refusal to surrender seemed to be a certainty.
"If Han Wangan does not reply within two days, we will leave Xinzheng as soon as possible."
After a long time, Yao Jia opened his eyes and said softly.
If Han Wangan doesn't give a reply and keeps delaying, it will be in vain for them to continue waiting.
Moreover, Yao Jia knew that the young man in front of him might attract dead soldiers. The longer he stayed in Xinzheng, the less safe he would be.
Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard Yao Jia's words and nodded lightly.
After returning to the inn.
Bai Yan told Yao Jia that he wanted to go out.
When Yao Jia heard that Bai Yan was going out alone, he didn't ask any questions. After all, the Bai family had been doing business all year round, so he probably had some acquaintances here, and Bai Yan wanted to find out the news.
Regarding this point, it is not difficult for Yao Jia to understand that Bai Yan has already led the troops to find out some information, which may be of some use to the future siege of the city.
Now he returned to the inn. It was raining outside, and there were diners in the inn, as well as more than thirty Qin officials. In broad daylight, no one would be so bold as to enter the inn to assassinate him openly.
On the streets of Xinzheng City.
Along with the heavy rain, pedestrians on the street rushed home in a hurry, and some who were too late hid under the eaves on both sides of the street.
Bai Yan wore a bamboo hat and was walking in the street. From time to time, a carriage would fly past him under the heavy rain.
This time Bai Yan left the inn alone, without Qin Jian.
Yao Jia will leave Xinzheng tomorrow, which he had not expected before. Fortunately, the rain will give him some time.
Been walking for a long time.
After making some inquiries, Bai Yan came to the door of a mansion.
Looking at the servants of the mansion who were wearing bamboo hats and guarding the door in the rain, Bai Yan slowly stepped forward.
"May I ask if the general is in the mansion?"
Bai Yan cupped his hands and asked.
The servants of the mansion looked up and down at the young man in front of them without leaving any trace. They saw that he was dressed in common clothes and had no pendants or accessories. However, the young man did not feel like a son of the common people.
Several servants were guessing at this moment, feeling that this might be another student who came to offer a 'strategy to save the country'.
But this 'student' is too young.
"What do you want from the general?"
A servant looked at Bai Yan and asked.
"Distant relatives, come to seek refuge with me!"
Bai Yan replied.
Bai Yan's words suddenly made several servants look surprised. They looked at each other and put away their contempt.
"If we are distant relatives, can we have a keepsake?"
The servant asked, but after he finished speaking, he saw the young man shaking his head.
Seeing this, the servant frowned.
He doesn't even have a keepsake, so this person could be a student who is "taking a different path".
It's not like he has never seen such opportunistic people before.
"The general has only returned home after dark these past few days. It will be as late as Haishi or Zishi. If you don't have a token, you will come back before dawn tomorrow."
The servant spoke.
Without a token, and the general is not in the mansion, he naturally cannot let people into the mansion.
This servant thought that the young man would leave on his own after hearing his words. Who would have thought that the young man continued to say with his hands in hand.
"If the general is not here, the general's wife can also serve as a witness. Please give the general's wife a message. On the seventh year of the year, the tree fell and was injured, and the wild fruit was cut in half and eaten."
One sentence.
The servant who had just spoken realized that the young man in front of him might really be a distant relative of the general, otherwise how could they be asked to report to the general's wife.
Think of this.
"I'll go and tell Madam right now."
At this moment, the servant didn't have the courage to let the young man leave. After saying a very respectful word, he turned around and ran towards the mansion.
In heavy rain.
Bai Yan, wearing a bamboo hat, stood outside the house and waited patiently, not in a hurry.
In this mansion, only General Han Ling had seen him on the tower in Yangcheng, and no one else knew his identity.
