Passing by Yangzheng City, Bai Yan did not stop, but rushed back to Xinzheng.
Rest overnight in Zuoze along the way.
On the second day, Bai Yan returned to Xinzheng with his cronies.
In Xinzheng City.
When I left a few days ago, except for a few corpses and patrolling Qin soldiers, there were no people on the street. It was deserted and deserted, like a dead city.
Now returning to Xinzheng, Bai Yan sees that Xinzheng has gradually returned to its former prosperity.
People were coming and going on the street.
Although it's not as good as the scene I saw when I came with Yao Jia, it's not much different.
"A capable general in times of war and a capable minister in times of peace, General Teng is truly worthy of this saying."
Bai Yan, wearing a straw hat, sighed a little when he saw this scene.
Xinzheng is the capital of the country, not to mention the people in Xinzheng, but the number and scale of the nobles and nobles in Xinzheng City is far from comparable to other cities. The obsession with Korea in the hearts of those nobles can be said to be deep-rooted.
The fact that Xinzheng can recover so quickly shows that General Teng's methods are anything but ordinary.
After a while.
Bai Yan came to the small house that had been prepared before and put on the armor and Qin Jian that had been placed before.
After returning to Xinzheng, there is no need to pretend anymore.
After letting his cronies and others go down to rest, Bai Yan walked towards the mansion alone to see General Teng.
Bai Yan did not expect that just when he was about to arrive at the mansion, he would bump into Sima Xing, who had just arrived in Xinzheng.
Sima Xing was riding a war horse with a few close followers, and they all saw Bai Yan at this moment.
"Bai Yan, I have met General Sima!"
Bai Yan watched Sima Shang riding over and bowed his hands in salute.
"You boy!"
Sima Xingzaiteng looked at Bai Yan who was bowing his hands in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.
He already knew about the south bank of Mishui River.
"Bai Yu was actually worried about you before! I'm afraid Bai Yu would glare if he found out about the south bank of Lishui River."
Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan with a smile on his face, and there was a hint of exclamation in his words.
After hearing about the battle on the south bank of the Jishui River, Bai Yan deduced that the Korean army's first chance of survival was on the south bank of the Jishui River.
He was really shocked by Bai Yan.
If he had gone north to Yangcheng before, it could be said that Bai Yan did it because of those bamboo slips, but this time Han General Shen Yan specifically waited for Yao Jia to leave before ordering the construction of a barrier. Very few people knew about such an important matter, and Bai Yan
Yan would never know!
"Bai Yan is just guessing. If it weren't for General Teng's order, Bai Yan wouldn't dare to confirm. It's just good luck."
Bai Yan cupped his hands and said.
"You boy!"
Sima Xing shook his head helplessly when he heard Bai Yan's humble words.
He didn't even listen to Bai Yan's humble words.
The longer Sima Xing stayed in contact with Bai Yan, the more he envied Bai Yu, or the Bai family.
In the battle on the south bank of the Jishui River, Bai Yan not only performed meritorious service, but the biggest benefit was that Xianyang could see Bai Yan's abilities.
It can be said.
After Bai Yu was poisoned, the cavalry left behind, after Bai Yan's previous suggestion, no one in Xianyang will ask for a replacement now.
In front of the mansion.
Sima Xing dismounted and stepped forward to pat Bai Yan on the shoulder.
"If you pass by Wancheng in the future, please go and sit at Sima's mansion."
Sima Xing said.
Not to mention the relationship between Sima and Bai, Sima Xing fell in love with the young and handsome Bai Yan the more he looked at her.
Sima Xing made up his mind to visit Bai Yu when he had free time in the future. At the same time, he also asked about the possibility of marriage and betrothed the daughter of his eldest brother Sima Chang to Bai Yan.
Before that, let the eldest brother take a look at this descendant of the Bai family who has made great achievements in war.
"Bai Yan, remember, I will pay you a visit someday."
Bai Yan cupped his hands and said.
Sima Xing takes good care of him, and the sword he currently wears was given to him by Sima Chang. If he passes by, he will definitely pay him a visit with some tokens of thanks.
"good!"
Sima Xing smiled with satisfaction: "Enter the mansion! Don't keep General Teng waiting."
Bai Yan nodded, then followed Sima Xing and walked towards the mansion.
Inside the mansion.
When General Teng saw that Sima Xing had arrived, he nodded and decided to hold a banquet tomorrow.
After Sima Xing leaves.
Bai Yan stayed. In the eyes of others, Bai Yan had been in the mansion these past few days, helping General Teng handle affairs.
"Did you find anything?"
In the study, General Teng looked at Bai Yan who had returned and asked.
"Bai Yan failed to find it."
Bai Yan said to General Teng with his hands raised, his tone deliberately showing a hint of disappointment, and his face pretending to be a little disappointed.
Xiang Liang's matter was related to his uncle. Even General Teng and Bai Yan didn't dare to tell him. He was the only one who knew about it.
"It doesn't matter."
General Teng looked at Bai Yan, not too surprised.
It only takes a few days to find the assassin. If it is really that simple, how could Bai Yu be assassinated!
When Bai Yan said he was going to Yanggui, he had a premonition that Bai Yan might get nothing.
Therefore, when I heard Bai Yan's words, I was not disappointed at all.
"Now that I have returned, I will stay at the mansion and handle important matters in Xinzheng with me."
General Teng said to Bai Yan.
Since Bai Yan can't find out, he will leave it to Xianyang to investigate in the future.
"promise!"
Bai Yan nodded.
Then, under the instruction of General Teng, he came to a remote small table in the study room. He looked at the wooden table in front of him and saw piles of bamboo slips. He took two volumes and came behind General Teng.
After General Teng reviewed the bamboo slips, Bai Yan handed one of the bamboo slips to General Teng.
In the study room.
And because of Bai Yan's existence, when General Teng read the bamboo slips, he would briefly murmur about the things in them, and then tell Bai Yan how to deal with it and why.
Bai Yan listened carefully and did not dare to neglect.
The next few days.
After General Teng held a celebration banquet, unexpected news suddenly reached Xinzheng.
In the study room.
General Teng Lao and other generals are discussing preparations to take all the remaining soldiers back to Lantian and Nanyang after receiving the order from Xianyang before the snow falls in winter.
Now, after learning that the King of Han surrendered to Qin, the garrison generals of other cities in Han also surrendered to Qin. Many deputy generals in the Qin army have already gone to those cities to take over the cities. Now they only need to wait for officials from Xianyang to arrive.
.
When the war is over, except for some soldiers left in each city, the rest will naturally be rushed back to Qin.
A few days ago, some Qin soldiers among the Qin army had returned to Qin in batches.
What we need to consider now is how to withdraw the remaining army and how many troops to leave in Xinzheng.
At this moment.
A Qin soldier hurried in from outside the door.
"Report!! General, Yang Cheng was so lucky that he was killed!"
Qin Zu raised his hands to General Teng and said.
Hear the words.
Hu Jin, Sima Xing, Chu Ren, Kui Wan and other generals were all a little surprised. Yangzhen was the first city among other cities to voluntarily surrender to Qin.
Unexpectedly, Baofu was killed after he surrendered to Qin.
They guessed.
It is possible that Baoyuan of the Bao clan was dissatisfied with Baofu's surrender to Qin, so he took action to get rid of Baofu.
It's not like this has never happened.
Of course, this is just their guess.
"Have you found out who killed Baofu?"
General Teng frowned slightly and asked.
Just for a moment, he thought about Bai Yan's previous visit to Yanggui, and wondered whether there was a hidden reason behind Baofu's death, and whether it was murder to silence him.
But then he rejected this conjecture.
If the assassin who assassinated Bai Yu was really related to Baofu, he would have been told about it when Baofu came to Qin.
Baofu has surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. Could the person who planned to assassinate Bai Yu still keep Baofu silent?
"General, Doctor Lao Pei has conducted an investigation and found out that some Jiang soldiers and the people of Yangzhen had witnessed the person who killed Baofu, and it was Bao Yuan of the Bao family. After killing Baofu, Bao Yuan fled Yangzhen and is now missing.
"
The Qin soldier who reported the news said to General Teng.
In the study room.
"Baoyuan."
Bai Yan murmured, feeling a little surprised.
He had previously set up a plan to make Xiang Liang mistakenly think that he was a lucky man and wanted to hunt him down.
The purpose is to borrow Xiang Liang's hand and take advantage of the chaos to kill and get lucky.
Bao Xiao once said that Baofu, a tribe member, was greedy for life and fearful of death, and also loved vanity. However, Yang Zhen was close to the Chu State. Regarding Baofu, he could not guarantee whether Baofu would associate with Chu State again in the future.
Baofu was the only one in his plan who knew that after Qu's deceased soldiers left, there was still one person who had not left, and he was also the only one who knew that he had learned about this matter.
Baofu and the old man must die!
He originally thought that Xiang Liang would use the hands of the dead soldiers to kill Baofu in the chaos.
But he didn't expect that the person who killed Baofu was actually a member of Baofu's clan.
