Although the weather was getting colder and colder, Bai Yan didn't feel the coldness at all in this mansion.
The original owner of this mansion was a member of the Korean royal family, so the supplies in the mansion were extremely luxurious. Among them, the things needed in winter and summer were much better than those in ordinary people's homes.
Among them, there is an ice well underground in the mansion, which is stored in the winter and taken out in the summer.
After washing up in the room and having breakfast, just when Bai Yan was about to go outside the city to see the soldiers, Qin soldiers found him and said it was General Teng who was looking for him.
General's Mansion.
When Bai Yan came to the study, he saw General Weiwan and General Chu Ren there.
"General."
Bai Yan raised his hands in salute to General Teng.
General Teng nodded, and then said directly without being polite.
"The king has announced to the world that Korea will be destroyed, Han will be incorporated into the Qin State, and Yingchuan County will be established. In addition, the king will appoint you as the guardian of Gaonu City in Shangjun, and you will take office in two months."
General Teng looked at Bai Yan.
Gaonu City is subordinate to Shangjun. Previously Shangjun, Beidi, and Longxi were all Yiqu territories. After Qin destroyed Yiqu, three counties were established.
Gaonu City in Shangjun is a city close to the Xiongnu and Zhao Kingdom.
Bai Yu was previously the guard of Gaonu City.
"promise!"
Bai Yan nodded and felt relieved after hearing General Teng's words.
Bai's cavalry is finally stable and there is no need to worry anymore.
"In addition, in the battle to destroy Han, the king thought that you had made great contributions to the south bank of the Jishui River. In addition to the several achievements you had made before, I will promote you to the title of nobility."
General Teng said this and handed a wooden plaque and a city seal to Bai Yan.
In Kuiwan, Chu Ren was looking at Bai Yan.
Not only them, but also all the other generals, no one would be dissatisfied with the young man in front of them being promoted again.
Because all of them watched Bai Yan get promoted one by one for his merits.
Everyone knows whether Bai Yan is involved or not.
Especially the generals like them, when they first met this descendant of the Bai family, they all clearly saw the gaps in the armor that were cut by swords.
You know, Bai Yuke was still in the army at that time!
"Fifth Doctor!"
Bai Yan looked at his wooden identity card.
Han Fei once said that when attacking a city in South Korea, the first person to achieve the first victory should be named the fifth official and treated as a national scholar.
But that's Korea.
In the Qin State, it was as difficult for ordinary people to obtain the title of the Five Great Officials as it was to reach heaven.
Because as the title gets higher and higher, it becomes more and more difficult to upgrade. This is not only a matter of ability, but the most important thing is opportunity.
Surnames and connections are particularly important at this time.
Just like him, if he didn't have the surname Bai, if he didn't have the Bai family cavalry, everything would be different.
In the study room.
General Teng looked at Bai Yan and smiled.
"This city seal was previously in charge of Bai Yu. After Bai Yu returned to Qin, the city seal was returned to Xianyang. Unexpectedly, you boy failed to live up to Bai Yu's expectations."
General Teng said.
Bai Yan listened to General Teng's words and touched the city guard seal. Bai Yu had held this seal before, and now it belonged to him.
"Before leaving, you lead three thousand cavalry and move King Han to Yingchen."
General Teng gave Bai Yan a mission.
Although Bai Yan was young, after his conversation with Bai Yan that night and seeing the strict discipline of the Bai family's cavalry, Bai Yan was the best candidate in his mind to escort Han Wangan.
This is why many of his soldiers had already rushed back to the Qin State, but he ordered the cavalry army to stay put.
"promise!"
Bai Yan cupped his hands and accepted the order.
A moment later, after listening to General Teng's instructions, Bai Yan turned around and left the study.
Outside the study room.
"Ying Chen!"
Bai Yan muttered this name.
He still had some impressions of this city. During the period of King Qingxiang of Chu, the State of Chu moved its capital to Chen and called it Yingchen. It was later captured by the State of Qin, and the State of Chu had just moved its capital.
This is an area close to Chu State!
"Ying Chen?"
Bai Yan was thinking as he walked.
Yingchen was once the capital of the Chu State, so the people there have never been assimilated by the Qin State.
Bai Yan was a little confused, why would Han Wangan be moved to Yingchen and placed under house arrest?
The territory of Qin is so large and the territory is so vast that any place chosen at random is better than Yingchen, which is close to Han or Chu.
Doesn’t this give those old Koreans a chance?
No wonder a few years later, there would be a rebellion in Xinzheng.
Bai Yan shook his head.
I feel that Xianyang’s move was really ill-considered.
But at the moment, he is too lazy to care. Anyway, the Xinzheng rebellion seems to be put down soon. The Qin State will send Changping Jun to lead the army to suppress it.
Bai Yan suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"wrong!"
Bai Yan murmured, and it suddenly occurred to him that if he remembered correctly, a few years later, Xinzheng rebelled, and the old Korean clan tried to capture Xinzheng and went to Yingchen to rescue Han Wangan.
As for suppressing the rebels, the Qin State considered the relationship with the people of Ying and Chen, so it sent Mi Qi, Lord Changping, headed by the Chu clan.
"This is a trap for Mr. Changping!!!"
Bai Yan was filled with wonder when he thought of this.
If he hadn't suddenly remembered this matter, he would never have thought that escorting Han Wangan to Yingchen at this time was actually a trap laid for Lord Changping, who was headed by the Chu clan.
Regardless of when and where Yingchuan County will rebel in the future.
At that time, wherever Xianyang is, there will be a reason to ask Lord Changping of the Chu clan to leave Xianyang.
No wonder why there are so many cities in the Qin State. Any city that can be found far away from Yingchuan County is safer, but it chose to put Han Wangan under house arrest in Yingchen!
Who in Xianyang came up with such a powerful plan?
Bai Yan was very curious whether Lord Changping had noticed that the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was ready to take action against him.
After all, if he didn't know what was going to happen in the future, how could he think at the moment that Han Wang An's move to Yingchen was a trap in itself.
“I don’t know who planned this situation!”
Bai Yan came to his senses and continued walking towards the outside of the mansion.
Bai Yan didn't have a good impression of the Chu family at all.
After King Qin Huiwen, the Chu clan became the largest force within Qin and the biggest hidden danger to Qin.
He had previously speculated that the person who betrayed Bai Yu's information might be Lord Changping.
Because when Bai Qi led his army to attack Chu, the city of Yan was flooded and hundreds of thousands of people died.
It would have been fine if the city of Yan had only been flooded. However, after the city of Yan was flooded, Bai Qi led his army to capture the capital of Chu State Ying, and directly burned down Yiling, the tomb of the ancestors of the Chu State, and the tombs of the previous kings of Chu.
Spared.
And Lord Changping is the son of King Kaolie of Chu, and is of the royal family lineage of the King of Chu!
It is equivalent to Bai Qi burning the tomb of his ancestor Changping Jun.
A fire burns all the tombs of one's ancestors, and one cannot defeat Bai Qi, but that doesn't mean one will give up.
To describe it in ordinary people's terms: You are very strong in Bai Qi, and I dare not provoke you, but if you die in Bai Qi, I still can't kill your descendants?
"Bai Qi."
When Bai Yan thought of this name, he felt admiration and helplessness in his heart.
What is admirable is that it is said that before the water flooded Yan City, King Qin Zhaoxiang once asked Bai Qi how many troops he wanted. Bai Qi said that he could attack Chu with only 70,000.
At that time, the Chu State was said to have millions of soldiers. King Qin Zhaoxiang was worried and asked Bai Qi if he wanted to bring more troops, one hundred thousand! Two hundred thousand!
But Bai Qi insisted that only 70,000 was enough.
King Qin Zhaoxiang had no choice but to give Bai Qi an army of 70,000 in the end.
After Bai Qi led an army of 70,000 to cross the river, he directly ordered the destruction of the ships and destroyed his retreat. Then he led the Qin army to fight all the way to Yancheng, and also captured five cities including Dengdi and Xiling.
The general did not admire such Bai Qi.
But what is equally frustrating is that the stronger Bai Qi becomes, the more powerful the enemies he offends.
Bai Qi is dead, but there are countless enemies that Bai Qi left behind during his lifetime, and they all still remember Bai Qi's hatred.
Bai Yu had learned from the past. If Bai Yu hadn't been lucky, he would have died long ago.
Outside the mansion.
Bai Yan came to the war horse and got on the horse.
Thinking that in the eyes of the world now, he is a descendant of the Bai family.
I thought that Lord Changping would launch a rebellion in the future when Qin attacked Chu, which would eventually lead to Li Xin and Meng Tian's 200,000-strong army being almost wiped out, with only a few people returning to Qin alive.
"Mr. Changping, just pray that when we attack Chu, I won't lead the army to attack Chu!"
Bai Yan didn't know where in Xianyang, he didn't expect Lord Changping to be so bold and launch a rebellion.
But if he leads an army to attack Chu in the future.
He will definitely be in Chu State, waiting for Lord Changping to launch a rebellion.
After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, Chen County was established, and Yingchen was changed to Chen County. In the Western Han Dynasty, Chen County was changed to Huaiyang County.
Before the unification, the "King An of Han was under house arrest in Chen County" recorded in the history books should be Ying Chen, which was also the place where Lord Changping rebelled.
