This attack was divided into two groups, and even Bai Yan could see through Wei Liao's intention at a glance. Wang Jian already had nearly 100,000 troops at the border, and now he was deploying more troops. This forced Li Mu to face Wang Jian.
But Jingxing is the hinterland of Zhao State. To the north is Fanwu, and further north from Fanwu is Yanmen County and Dai County.
It can be said that Jingxing is the only way for Zhao Bianqi to rush to aid Handan on behalf of the Northern Army.
It can be said that it is full of dangers to fight with Zhao Bianqi at Jingxing and fight on behalf of the Northern Army.
Thinking of this, Bai Yan raised his head with some worry. However, it was better not to raise his head. When he raised his head, he saw Li Si, Changping Jun, Wei Liao and others all looking at him.
Even Ying Zheng looked at him.
For a moment, Bai Yan blinked and immediately thought of something.
"General Bai Yan will be the deputy general of General Wang Jian, and he will lead his cavalry to Jingxing."
Wei Liao looked at Bai Yan and said, after finishing speaking, he turned to look at Ying Zheng.
At this moment.
The old Wang Jian also turned to look at the young Bai Yan. The old general had heard of Bai Yan's deeds, but Wang Jian was still a little curious.
As a veteran general of the Qin State, Wang Jian naturally knew that young generals like Bai Yan should be trained and supported, but now Wang Jian seemed to be able to feel the importance he attached to Bai Yan in Wei Liao's words.
Even from the looks of them, the expressions of Changping Jun, Li Si, Wei Zhuang and others did not seem to be the least bit surprised, nor did they have any objections.
This can't help but make people a little strange.
Wang Jian frowned slightly. There was a war in Shangjun more than half a month ago. I heard that one-third of Gaonu's cavalry was damaged and should be recuperated, and it was said that Gaonu City had been completely burned down.
In the past, other adults would more or less put forward different opinions at this time. Why is it that no one has an opinion at this time?
"Wang Jian!"
At this time, Ying Zheng's voice brought the confused Wang Jian back to his senses, and he quickly accepted the order: "Wei Chen is here!"
"I order you to lead the army out of Jingxing in two months to face Li Mu!"
Ying Zheng opened his mouth and ordered.
Ying Zheng didn't care whether Wang Jian was sure of defeating Li Mu, but this battle must be fought in two months.
"promise!"
Wang Jian cupped his hands to accept the order and said.
After Ying Zheng heard that Wang Jian had received the order, he turned to look at Bai Yan: "Bai Yan, you will leave for Gaonu tomorrow. In two months, you will be Wang Jian's deputy general and we will leave for Jingxing together."
"promise!"
Bai Yan cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Although Ying Zheng and other ministers did not mention the stirrups, Bai Yan believed that since Ying Zheng asked him to send troops in two months, he would definitely send enough stirrups to Gaonu within two months.
Next, there were matters involving spring plowing, inventory, and mobilization of men and horses. Bai Yan didn't know much about these, so he kept listening quietly.
An hour passed.
Bai Yan just left the study together with other ministers.
"General Wang Jian!"
After leaving the study, Bai Yan had the opportunity to say hello to Wang Jian.
Bai Yan would not be careless about this old general, let alone deal with Li Mu together with Wang Jian in the future.
"General Bai Yan!"
Wang Jian returned the favor very politely and did not look down upon Bai Yan because he was young.
When Wang Jian heard about Bai Yan's fire, he was amazed.
The two of them exchanged polite greetings, and then communicated softly as they walked. Bai Yan also took the opportunity to learn about Zhao Guo's affairs.
As for this young general who was like a junior, he knew that Bai Yan had never fought against Li Mu, so Wang Jian did not hide anything and patiently told Bai Yan some of Li Mu's characteristics in leading troops.
Two hours later.
Bai Yan returned to the mansion and told the Bao family about his departure.
Bao Shi, who knew that the king's order could not be violated, did not say anything, but just prepared the necessary clothes for Bai Yan along the way.
The second day.
It was getting bright and clear, so Bai Yan got up early.
This time, Bai Yan did not put on his official uniform. After a quick breakfast, and looking at the darkening sky, Bai Yan walked to the gate of the mansion with Ye.
Finally, under Bao's gaze, the groom led a carriage to the door.
Bao Shi looked at Bai Yan and wanted to ask something, but in the end he held back. The delicate hand he raised under Qin Fu finally lowered it.
When he saw the young man turning his head and looking at himself.
"General, be careful!"
In the end, there are only one very gentle words out of thousands of words.
Bao didn't show too much reluctance, but showed a reassuring expression on Bai Yan. Perhaps he wanted Bai Yan not to worry about home and to lead his troops without worries.
"Okay! I'll leave all the trivial matters at home to my lady!"
Bai Yan said to Mr. Bao, showing a hint of smile, then turned around and led Master Xu into the carriage.
Ye mounted his war horse and escorted the carriage towards the city gate under the gradually brightening sky.
Bao and Xi stood in front of the door, accompanied by several maids, staring blankly at the back of the carriage as it gradually left.
Bai Yu didn't know that Bai Yan would leave suddenly, and Bai Yan didn't know that Bai Yu would come to Xianyang in such a hurry.
So when Bai Yu appeared in the Qin court, Bai Yan had already left Xianyang.
Lantian Camp.
The carriage stopped at Lantian City to rest.
Bai Yan went to the city and brought a few bottles of old wine to the Lantian camp, intending to visit General Yu.
Bai Yan respected General Yu who was about the same age as his grandmother. When he first came to Lantian, General Yu taught him a lot and took care of him a lot.
However, when going to find General Yu, Bai Yan naturally had to report to General Sima Xing first.
Outside the tent.
The soldiers who were guarding the camp had seen Bai Yan before, so when they saw Bai Yan coming, they remembered the battle of Gaonu that had been widely spread during this period, and the soldiers' eyes were full of reverence.
"Bai Yan wants to see General Sima. I wonder if General Sima is in the camp?"
Bai Yan looked at the soldier and asked softly.
"Go back to Zuo Shu Zhang, the general is inside."
The soldier looked at Bai Yan's headband, nodded, and then turned around and entered the camp.
"Report, general, Bai Yan, the concubine of the left, is asking for an audience outside the camp!"
Standing outside the camp, he listened to the faint sounds of soldiers coming from inside the camp. To Bai Yan's surprise, Sima Xing's shouts rang out the next moment.
"Boy, come in!"
When Bai Yan heard this, he was not polite and entered the tent.
Because he had been here before Yuan Day last time, Bai Yan was no stranger to this camp. Seeing Sima Xing still handling the bamboo slips, Bai Yan couldn't help but smile.
"Bai Yan, meet your uncle!"
Bai Yan cupped his hands and said.
As before, when there were no outsiders, Bai Yan would call Sima Xing his uncle, and when there were outsiders, he would call Sima Xing his general.
But what Bai Yan didn't expect this time was that after he finished speaking, he saw Sima Xing put down the bamboo slips and smiled angrily.
"Bai Yu still dares to let this little boy come to Lantian?"
Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan and said softly.
In one sentence, Bai Yan was confused as to what the situation was and how it looked. General Sima Xing had a rather unkind look on his face.
"Please tell me, uncle, Bai Yan doesn't understand?"
Bai Yan really didn't know what was going on, so he felt that when Sima Xing talked about Bai Yu, there was a hint of resentment in his words.
It makes no sense! Bai Yu and Sima Xing are close friends of life and death.
Is there anything else that can make Sima Xing and Bai Yu, two generals who have seen big storms, get into a mood?
"Depending on the situation, your uncle Bai Yu didn't tell you?"
Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan's appearance, his brows jumped, and he was a little confused.
