Chapter 236 Ying Zhengs accident made me feel happy.
Since Tai Jing had his retinue with him, he could not wait for Yan Yu for long. After breakfast, he hurried back to Xianyang.
Bai Yan sent Tai Jing out of the mansion without holding him back.
After watching Tai Jing leave in a carriage with his followers, Bai Yan asked Ye to arrange for someone to send He and two boxes of money, leaving a hundred gold behind, and send them all to Xianyang.
Ye nodded and turned to deal with it.
Bai Yan returned to the mansion and took care of some things before leaving, leaving the rest to Chai.
Regarding Chai's ability, Bai Yan had seen it when he was in Gaonu, so he was very reassured.
Two days later.
Early in the morning, Bai Yan did not put on Qin armor, but put on a carefully tailored silk dress. The Qin sword was placed on a wooden stand, and instead, a jade pendant hung around his waist.
During the Warring States Period, he pretended to be a nobleman.
Then you need to have enough financial resources. When King Qin Zhuangxiang and Ying Yiren were in Handan as a hostage, they had no reputation and no connections. They all relied on getting to know Lu Buwei.
Before Lu Buwei left, he gave five hundred gold to Ying Yiren so that he could make connections and get acquainted with powerful people.
Later, under the charm of five hundred gold, Ying Yiren's reputation began to spread, even to the Qin State.
"General, the carriage is ready!"
Ye walked towards the room, raised his hands to Bai Yan and said, at this moment Ye also said "Bu Yi".
However, unlike Bai Yan, although Ye is not equipped with a Qin sword, he still wears a sharp sword on his waist.
"good."
Bai Yan nodded, then turned to look at Ye, looked at him, and nodded.
"good!"
Bai Yan said.
Ye chuckled, he had been wearing Qin Jia, but now he changed his outfit and paired it with a sharp sword. It felt really different.
When Bai Yan and Ye walked out of the mansion.
Outside the mansion.
Feng Nian and Gui were also standing beside the carriage. This time when they went to Handan, Bai Yan didn't bring many people, only Ye, Feng Nian and Gui.
The situation in Zhao State is relatively sensitive now, so it would be bad to bring too many.
"General!"
"General!!"
When Feng Nian and Gui saw Bai Yan approaching, they handed over their hands one after another.
Bai Yan nodded, then looked at Feng Nian.
"This time it's up to you!"
Bai Yan said.
Because Feng Nian had been wandering in Wei and Han before, although Dun Dun was hungry, he did get to know some Jianghu knights. Feng Nian also went to Waihuang City and paid a visit to Zhang Er.
Although those Zhang Er looked down on the young Feng Nian, those Jianghu knights also did not bother to be friends with this impoverished boy Feng Nian.
But no matter what, many people have seen Feng Nian.
This time I went to Handan.
The effect of sealing years is no less powerful than that of Lu Qi.
"Don't worry, General, I'll vent my anger this time too!"
When Feng Nian heard Bai Yan's words, the smile on his face was extremely happy.
Since the general asked him to go to Handan City, look for the rangers he had seen before, and invite them to drink, it was not difficult, and it was just a way to get rid of the pent-up anger.
"Walk!"
Bai Yan looked at Feng Nian, Gui and Ye, nodded and said softly.
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in getting on the carriage.
Ye was responsible for driving the horses, while Gui and Fengnian rode a group of horses and followed the carriage around.
Mid May.
Xianyang, Qin State, in the palace.
At this moment, in the study room, Ying Zheng looked at the map, his brows furrowed.
"How many days will it take for General Yang to enter the Kingdom of Zhao?"
Ying Zheng asked.
Compared to before, there was no longer any anger in Ying Zheng's tone at this moment.
Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan and others all understood that Ying Zheng was extremely disappointed and that was why he acted like this.
One month has passed since Yang Duan and his troops were trapped in Yingchuan.
This forced General Wang Jian's army to confront Li Mu and Sima Shang.
The pressure on General Wang Jian alone can be imagined, and the consequences of any carelessness are unpredictable.
"It should take another half a month before we can enter the territory of Zhao State."
Li Si stood up at this time and spoke.
Because his eldest son Li You also led troops to Yingchuan this time, it was better for him to do the talking at this time.
Li Si understood that the Yingchuan matter had touched the bottom line in Ying Zheng's heart. If it was not handled well, not only Yang Duanhe, but also Li You and others would also be affected.
"Calculating the time, Qiang Yu and Meng Tian should have arrived at Yanyu."
Lord Changping looked at the place on the map where the words "阏和" were written in the territory of Zhao State.
At the beginning, Wang Jian and General Huanjue once attacked Xiayu, but later the army led by General Huanjue was defeated by Li Mu. After finally defeating Xiayu, Li Mu took back Yanyu.
Although Yang Duanhe is currently postponed, as long as Qiang Yu and Meng Tian join General Wang Jian, the pressure on General Wang Jian will of course be reduced.
"We should have arrived at Yanyu."
Wei Liao nodded and said.
Where Yang Duan and General are now is important, but the most important thing is that General Wang Jian must withstand the pressure and persist until Yang Duan and General lead the army to enter the Kingdom of Zhao.
"Where is the news from Chu State?"
When Ying Zheng heard what Wei Liao and Chang Ping said, he naturally understood what they meant. After nodding, he asked for news about Chu.
Ying Zheng is very clear about the current situation in the world. Qi is neutral, Yan is weak, and Wei is invincible. At the moment when Zhao is being destroyed, Chu is the only one that poses the greatest threat to Qin.
"Your Majesty, a secret agent has come to report that many people in the Chu court have proposed sending troops to aid Zhao, but now they dare not say anything. Yao Jia guessed that King Xiong Han of Chu must be critically ill."
Yao Jia said to Ying Zheng.
The news that Chu King Xiong Han is critically ill has been tightly sealed by the Chu State, and the specific situation will not be disclosed.
However, many ministers of Chu State had previously advised against sending troops to attack Qin to save Zhao. Now those people suddenly stopped talking. Yao Jia had a hunch that the situation of King Xiong Han of Chu was obviously very serious, so serious that Chu State did not dare to
send troops.
"good!"
When Ying Zheng heard Yao Jia's words, he looked at the map with a slightly excited expression.
From Yao Jia's words, Ying Zheng also immediately judged that King Xiong Han of Chu was critically ill, coupled with the natural disasters and drought on behalf of the Zhao Kingdom.
This time, this is really a God-given opportunity to destroy Zhao.
"Your Majesty, General Wang Jian has sent news!"
In the study, while Ying Zheng was discussing the situation with Li Si, Wei Zhuang and other ministers, a eunuch came to Ying Zheng carrying an exquisite wooden tray.
"News from General Wang Jian!"
Ying Zheng turned his head, very surprised, and quickly took the bamboo slips on the wooden plate.
The officials were still holding the wooden tray, waiting for Ying Zheng to finish checking it, or other ministers to put it back again after reading it.
Next to the map, Li Si, Wei Liao, Changping Jun, Wei Zhuang and other ministers, when they heard the news that it was Wang Jian, they all stopped talking and looked at Ying Zheng.
Since General Wang Jian has sent news, it must be about the Zhao battlefield.
Under the watchful eyes of Li Si and others.
Everyone saw that Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips and frowned, obviously what he saw was not good news.
Seeing this, Li Si, Yao Jia and others felt their hearts sinking, and had a vague premonition.
But at this moment.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Ying Zheng groaned, and his original gloomy expression disappeared. He seemed to be very surprised, and even the corner of his mouth showed a smile.
This scene made Chang Pingjun and Wei Zhuang look at each other, full of confusion.
Ever since Yang Duan and the general were trapped in Yingchuan, they had never seen Ying Zheng showing such an attitude.
"color!"
After reading the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng looked at the map and saw Li Si and others looking confused. Ying Zheng handed the bamboo slips to Li Si.
After Li Si took the bamboo slip, he looked at the contents.
Yao Jia was also on the side, watching curiously.
Then, both Li Si and Yao Jia had the same expression as Ying Zheng just now, and then they all showed unexpected expressions.
"Lord Li Si, what is going on?"
When Wei Zhuang and others saw this, they were a little puzzled. They didn't wait to look at the bamboo slips, but asked softly.
Li Si put away the bamboo slips, and then under the gazes of Wei Zang, Chang Pingjun and others, he turned to look at the map and pointed at the territory of Zhao State.
"When Wang Jian received the news from Yang Duanhe, Wang Ben and Yang Yan were leading an army to attack Yanyu. Wang Jian guessed that Li Mu would mobilize all the Zhao border cavalry to deal with their army on behalf of the Northern Army, so he asked Bai Yan to lead the cavalry.
Rush to the aid of Yanyu."
Under Li Si’s explanation.
In the study, Wei Zhuang, Chang Pingjun and others all knew what happened next.
When they heard that Li Mu actually took advantage of the dry rivers and asked Sima Shang to lead an army of no less than 50,000 people to bypass the mountains and raid Yanyu, everyone except Changping Jun couldn't help but sweat in their hearts.
Later, when they heard that Bai Yan had discovered Li Mu's trick, all the ministers, including Lord Changping, looked at Li Si in surprise.
After Bai Yan fights with Li Mu, he sees through Li Mu's plan!
With this thought, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and others were all secretly surprised.
The other party is Li Mu.
Bai Yan can fight against Li Mu and actually not fall behind!
At this time, they still didn't know why Ying Zheng was so happy.
You must know that this is the second general in the Qin State after Wang Jian who can fight against Li Mu without falling into a disadvantage.
"The background of the Bai family is really different from that of a general."
Wei Liao couldn't help but sigh, the Bai family is a famous family after all, and its background is far from ordinary. When they heard Li Mu's plan just now, they couldn't help but feel nervous and sweat. How old is Bai Yan, he can see through Li Mu's plan?
Plan.
"Indeed, after all, it was after Bai Qi. When Gao Nu fought, he knew that he was extremely talented. From this battle, it can be seen that General Bai Yan can stand alone."
Chang Pingjun also smiled and sighed.
In the study room.
Ying Zheng looked at the map, then glanced at the faces of Li Si, Yao Jia and others, looking at the expressions of these ministers, and listening to the emotions in the words of Wei Liao and Changping Jun.
Ying Zheng suppressed the laughter in his heart and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Bai's!
That Bai Yan is not a descendant of the Bai family.
Looking at the map again, but this time, Ying Zheng did not look at Zhao Guo, but with a slight smile, he focused on Qi Guo.
After the old general Meng Ao, Qi State gave him another general from Qin State, and he was still so young.
"Your Majesty, although the news about General Meng Tian and Qiang Yu has not yet arrived, and General Bai Yan is serving as General Wang Jian's deputy, there must be no serious problems in the fight against Li Mu."
Li Si raised his hands to Ying Zheng and said.
Ying Zheng nodded.
"According to General Wang Jian's news, Yan Yu has been captured, so there should be no serious problems."
Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first good news he had heard since conquering Zhao. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, according to the news sent by General Wang Jian, General Wang Jian should be confronting the Zhao army at Jingxing. I think that after General Meng Tian and General Qiang Yu arrive, General Wang Jian and General Bai Yan can be divided into two groups.
, break through Jingxing."
At this time, Lord Changping stepped forward and said to Ying Zheng.
While speaking, Lord Changping was observing Ying Zheng's expression. When he saw Ying Zheng's expression, he deliberately said the word "Bai Qi".
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng had no reaction at all.
This made his thoughts fall to the bottom. Bai Yan's talent exceeded his expectations time and time again. He could never let it go and allow another Bai Qi to appear in Qin.
"Splitting the troops into two groups feels a bit too radical!"
When Li Si, Wei Liao and others heard what Changping Jun said, they looked at the map and frowned slightly.
In their eyes, Lord Changping's method was a bit too aggressive, and they didn't quite agree with it.
When Ying Zheng heard what Chang Ping Jun said, he also looked at Chang Ping Jun and frowned slightly.
Faced with everyone's gaze, Chang Pingjun explained calmly.
"Your Majesty, General Bai Yan has previously proven that he is capable of fighting against Li Mu. I think that we can use Tian Ji's allusion to horse racing to have General Bai Yan trap Li Mu, and let General Wang Jian to defeat Zhao General Sima Shang!"
Changping Jun pointed to the location of Jingxing on the map.
Where are the two roads!
"It's still too risky."
"But if it succeeds, there is indeed a chance to break Jingxing."
Li Si, Wei Liao and others looked at the map and listened to Lord Changping's words, and they all understood what Lord Changping meant.
Taking risks is taking risks, but as Lord Changping said, there is indeed a chance, and when I think of Qiang Yu and Meng Tian's reinforcements, I can't help but give it a try.
"We will discuss this matter later!"
Ying Zheng said.
After the words fell, others stopped talking, but they were a little confused as to why the king didn't consider this method now.
Especially Lord Changping looked at Ying Zheng with doubts.
Among the ministers, only Yao Jia looked at the map and knew in his heart that Lord Changping's method was certainly possible.
But it's a pity.
Counting the time, Bai Yan is no longer in Yanyu, but on the way to Handan!
