Zhao Guolan and.
After deciding to storm Jingxing, Bai Yan waited for the news. Under Wang Jian's instructions, the spy affairs were handed over to Feng Jie and Wang Ben.
Bai Yan and Wang Jian began to prepare for war.
In the mansion.
After Chen Ze and Fu Yao stayed for a few days, they also said goodbye and left. They came here because of Xun Shuo and met their friends, so naturally they would not stay long.
After all, mountains and rivers meet each other, and we will definitely meet again in the future.
After Xun Shuo sent his friends out of the city, on the way back, he looked at the people of Zhao along the way, and then at the Qin cavalry riding horses back and forth.
When I returned to the mansion, I saw Bai Yan in the study.
Xun Shuo knelt down behind the wooden table and looked at Bai Yan opposite, who was reviewing the bamboo slips.
"There's going to be a war!"
Xun Shuo asked.
When Bai Yan heard this, he looked at Xun Shuo and nodded.
"I have received news that Li Mu and Sima Shang have been transferred back to Handan by the order of King Zhao Qian. At this moment, Jingxing should be commanded by Zhao Cong and Yan Ju."
Bai Yan said softly.
Since Xun Shuo, a descendant of the Xun family, came under his sect to make plans, Bai Yan naturally showed his sincerity and did not hide anything.
Thousands of years later generations have proved a truth, don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you doubt them. Only in this way can people be convinced and help them with all their strength.
The king is like this, and the general is like this!
Therefore, Bai Yan did not hide the news about Li Mu from Xun Shuo, and he had spies both in Yanyu and the Zhao army in Jingxing, so the matter would not leak out.
"Zhao Cong!"
Xun Shuo heard Bai Yan's words and then laughed: "In the past, I was dismissed from the Zhao Kingdom. The big reason was that Zhao Cong made slanderous remarks to the King of Zhao behind his back. Moreover, Zhao Cong was arrogant by nature and was often arrogant.
"
Xun Shuo told Bai Yan what he knew about Zhao Cong.
"So the purpose of sending troops this time is to show Zhao Cong that our Qin army does not dare to attack his defense line."
Bai Yan smiled.
When Xun Shuo heard Bai Yan's words, although he had never heard of the word "praise", he could understand Bai Yan's plan and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Since you distribute food to the people of Zhao State, as the Bai family, I didn't dare to confirm it before, but now I am sure that you must have a backup plan!"
Xun Shuo sighed.
Xun Shuo had never looked down upon Bai Yan in terms of strategy and warfare, but now he still felt sad.
It's so stressful to follow such a general!
However, Xun Shuo now dared to be sure that since Bai Yan wrote to Xianyang to help the people of Zhao, it was impossible not to know that if Zhao could really be destroyed, there was a high possibility that King Qin Yingzheng would let him stay in Zhao.
As for Zhao people's hatred for the Bai family, they would never accept it easily.
If it is not handled well, once the Qin State is in turmoil, Zhao will become the second Yingchuan. At that time, the fierce Zhao people will pose a far greater threat to the Qin army than those in Yingchuan.
It's impossible for Bai Yan not to know this.
"Yeah, but I'm still hesitant."
When Bai Yan heard Xun Shuo's words, he sighed, a trace of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes.
It was at this time.
Xun Shuo already laughed.
"It must be the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu!"
Xun Shuo said, his eyes had already understood everything, and seeing Bai Yan's hesitant eyes, Xun Shuo naturally understood why Bai Yan was like this.
"There are only border dangers, and General Bai is guarding the border. People's hearts are made of flesh. No matter how stubborn the Zhao people are, they will definitely not remain indifferent when they see General Bai fighting bloody battles to guard Zhao's borders and protect the people of Zhao."
After Xun Shuo finished speaking, he saw Bai Yan looking at him in shock.
Seeing Bai Yan's appearance, Xun Shuo felt a little proud.
During this period of time, he had been studying whether Bai Yan could still break the situation. Although it seemed to be a foregone conclusion, he still did not give up.
Since he wants to be Bai Yan's staff, he naturally has to take care of Bai Yan's worries at all times.
It was precisely because he had been dedicated to research that he never gave up, and then he accidentally heard Qin Qi talking about the mountains of heads of the Gaonu Huns when he was passing by, and then he suddenly realized it.
The way to break the situation lies in border troubles.
If he hadn't been studying all the time, if he hadn't heard the words of the cavalry soldiers and accidentally flashed his spiritual barrier, Xun Shuo would not have seen Bai Yan's way of breaking the situation.
In the study room.
Bai Yan looked at Xun Shuo with fearful eyes. He didn't expect that Xun Shuo could actually see the last step. When he decided to write to Xianyang, he considered the pros and cons. In the end, it was because of what Mr. Wei once said that he thought of border troubles.
"right!"
Bai Yan didn't hide anything from Xun Shuo at the moment, since Xun Shuo said it frankly after guessing it, and he didn't care if he killed someone or silenced him.
Bai Yan naturally will not be a villain.
A great talent like Xun Shuo, with a villain's heart, will never be able to understand Xun Shuo's sincerity.
"Please tell Xun Shuo, general, what is the general worried about?"
Xun Shuo asked softly.
Xun Shuo didn't understand that this was the only way to break the situation, and it was also the most obscure conspiracy that would not be discovered. What was Bai Yan still worried about?
When Bai Yan heard Xun Shuo's words, he put down the bamboo slips in his hands.
“Raising tigers brings disaster!”
Bai Yan said a word.
Hear the words.
Xun Shuo frowned slightly. He could not imagine that Bai Yan was actually worried about the Xiongnu and Yuezhi. Today, all the countries in the world, even the weak Yan, could defeat the northern tribes.
Bai Yan, who is famous for his fierceness and strategy in Gao Nu, is actually worried about this!
Bai Yan saw Xun Shuo's appearance and knew Xun Shuo's confusion.
"The Xiongnu and the Yuezhi people have lived on nomadic life since their ancestors. Their war horses are twice as many as those of Qin and many other countries. Before that, Bai made stirrups and horse shoes. In the future, the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu managed to survive and were able to breathe.
I will definitely try my best to equip these two things when the time comes, and then add the worry of quantity, Bai Yan is worried that one day, it will become a big trouble."
Bai Yan explained.
Xun Shuo had been in Yanyu for so long, so it was impossible that he didn't know about stirrups and horseshoe nails.
"General Bai's righteousness, Xun Shuo is impressed!"
After hearing Bai Yan's explanation, Xun Shuo raised his hands seriously and saluted Bai Yan.
Regardless of whether Bai Yan's worries were unnecessary, Bai Yan's concern for the people of the Central Plains was worthy of Xun Shuo's sincere salute.
In Xun Shuo's eyes.
There is this general.
The State of Zhao is very fortunate, the State of Qin is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate.
In the study room.
When Bai Yan saw Xun Shuo salute, he also raised his hand to return the salute.
After Xun Shuo finished the ceremony, he understood that the most important thing at the moment was to convince Bai Yan of his worries and let Bai Yan go ahead and do it without being timid or hesitant.
Only when Bai Yan gets enough rights is the best thing for the people.
"The general looked at the people of Zhao State before and felt pity for them. Therefore, as mentioned above, the general's behavior is unparalleled in benevolence and justice."
Xun Shuo thought for a while and said.
When Bai Yan heard Xun Shuo's words, he didn't rush to answer because he knew that Xun Shuo had something else to say next.
"But have you ever thought about it, general? In the past, people as powerful as the Zhou Dynasty were inevitably attacked by the Huns, Linhu, and Yiqu. As a result, the Zhou royal family moved their capital and lost all face. The Huns traveled thousands of miles south to Chu and Chen."
Xun Shuo looked at Bai Yan and said softly: "The reason is internal trouble!"
The voice fell.
Xun Shuo shook his head and sighed.
"Since the general can't bear the suffering of the people of Zhao State and the corpses of Zhao State lying all over the place, he should know that although this can appease the court and win the trust of Ying Zheng, it is not enough to win over the Zhao people."
Xun Shuo said this and turned to look outside the study.
"General, think about it, if the Zhao people in the city are all against the Qin people now, and if the Zhao people in other parts of Zhao country break out in turmoil, then even without the general's stirrups, the world will be in turmoil, and the people will be in dire straits, without the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu , and there are nomadic tribes further north. In this case, why don’t the general raise a tiger or two and carry out the strategy of Zhang Zi in the past?”
After Xun Shuo finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yan.
"The world needs border troubles, and the people of Qin need border troubles even more!"
In the study room.
After Xun Shuo's words fell, Bai Yan listened to Xun Shuo's last sentence that the Qin people needed border troubles. It was not clear that Xun Shuo was talking about the Qin State's military merit title system.
Xun Shuo was actually able to see through Qin's biggest worry after it destroyed the world.
This was something Bai Yan never expected.
He has a hazy memory. This Xun Shuo was just a great talent!
"Zixiao's words made Bai Yan wake up from his dream!"
Bai Yan saluted Xun Shuo.
When Mr. Wei said that we should take care of the border problems, it was just one sentence, and after saying it, it didn't matter whether he could accept it or not.
Look at Xun Shuo now, he is well-founded, from the individual to the righteousness, the people, and even the Qin State.
Listening to this can put your mind at ease and resolve the hesitations you have been feeling.
Compared to old man Wei.
Bai Yan was really happy now, happy for Xun Shuo's arrival.
"If the general can't get away, Zixiao will order people to deal with the Xiongnu and Yueshi. Don't worry, general, no one else will know!"
Xun Shuo faced Bai Yan and asked for orders.
As a staff member who joined Bai Yan's mansion, this matter was related to the future of Bai Yan, the Qin State, the Zhao people, and even the entire world, so it was left to him to arrange it as a meeting gift for Bai Yan.
"Okay, you have to work hard and be filial! If you have any needs, just say so!"
Bai Yan looked at Xun Shuo, raised his hand and said.
Xun Shuo was right. When he decided to save the people of Zhao State, he had no choice. If he had to truly consider the people, the Xiongnu and Yueshi could not be destroyed.
Seeing Xun Shuo, who was dressed in silk clothes, stood up to say goodbye and left, Bai Yan knelt down in front of the wooden table and sighed for the second time in his life that he was lucky.
I had never felt this way when Mr. Wei appeared.
As for the first emotion.
Still in the small village of Linzi, Qi State, because I have the best grandmother!
Half a month after Xun Shuo left Yanyu.
Along with the news from spies and intermediaries.
The palace and the city.
On this day, all the Qin troops gathered outside the city with great momentum.
Under the scorching sun, among the Qin army that looked like a sea of people, countless black Qin flags and densely packed Changge were erected.
All the cavalry soldiers were in stirrups and riding war horses, standing on the edge of the army.
After a while.
When General Wang Jian and a group of Qin generals came out of the city, they looked at the endless Qin army and saw all the soldiers in front of them looking at themselves.
"Set off!"
Under Wang Jian's order.
Wang Ben, Uncle Meng, Meng Tian, Qiang Yu and others all rode towards their respective subordinates on war horses.
Bai Yan and Wang Jian stood on the chariot.
Even though a chariot usually does not walk as fast as a war horse, in terms of stability and comfort, a chariot is undoubtedly several times better, not to mention that this chariot is still a handsome car. There is a copper umbrella next to the Qin flag to provide shade, and there are
Soft cushion to sit on.
This was also the time when wealthy merchants and nobles traveled by carriage instead of riding horses.
It was also the first time for Bai Yan to ride a chariot.
This is what Wang Jian requested.
Wang Jian even laughed and lamented to Bai Yan that at his age, if he got sick, he would have to rely on his deputy general Bai Yan to comfort the soldiers and go to war against Zhao.
In Wang Jian's eyes, the weather in Zhao is getting hotter now than when they entered Zhao together. As Bai Yan is the deputy general, except for himself, the entire army and generals must obey Bai Yan's orders.
Therefore, something must not happen to Bai Yan. Although there is a high probability that it is impossible, we still have to take precautions.
After all, I put my age here!
Moreover, Wang Jian did not want to pass the news back to the Qin State, so that Ying Zheng and the officials laughed and said that he was blocking the sun-shading chariot, while Bai Yan, the deputy general, led the troops on horseback and was blasted by the scorching sun.
The next few days.
Under the scorching heat, the Qin army rushed all the way to Jingxing despite explosions.
Along the way, Bai Yan looked at the terrain along the way, and with Wang Jian by his side, he also knew many details.
Wait until we get to the water control river.
Bai Yan finally saw Zhishui River with his own eyes!
Looking at the bank of the Shui Zhi River, Bai Yan guessed that the water level of the Zhi Shui River should have been very high in the past. Without a wooden bridge, it would be difficult for people to cross the river by boat.
Due to successive years of drought in Zhao State, there is no rain, and the water level of the flood control river has dropped a lot.
"General Wang, is the Zhao army camping behind the high slope opposite?"
Bai Yan turned to look at Wang Jian and asked softly.
As the commander-in-chief, Wang Jian nodded when he heard Bai Yan's words and looked into the distance with a frown.
"The terrain on the other side of the river is a dead place!"
Wang Jian turned to Bai Yan and said.
Wang Jian was also telling Bai Yan that the most important reason why he was worried at the beginning was that the terrain on the other side of the river was almost a desperate situation, a desperate situation between death and life.
"When General Bai sees this, he will know why I was worried in the first place."
Wang Jian sighed.
When leading a large army to cross a river, if one is not careful, both soldiers and generals will be killed or alive.
Ask yourself, if you don't know Bai Yan's planning steps later.
Wang Jian couldn't help but think that Bai Yan was mentally ill because he dared to let the army go to the other side of the river to fight Zhao Jun in a desperate situation.
Such a bold plan.
Wang Jian has read so many military books and ancient books, but this is the first time he has seen it.
"It is indeed a place of death!"
When Bai Yan heard Wang Jian's words, he looked at the terrain on the other side of the Zhishui River and couldn't help but nod.
Now look at the terrain on the other side of the river.
Bai Yan lamented that this was a desperate situation, a place of death.
If he hadn't known the detailed steps of a last-ditch battle, and if he hadn't arranged everything in detail, Bai Yan wouldn't have believed how serious the consequences would be if he led the army to the other side of the river.
"Pass my order and order the army to camp where it is!"
Wang Jian turned his head and ordered to his cronies.
"promise!"
"promise!!"
Beside the chariot, the trusted soldiers of the book title heard Wang Jian's order, accepted it one after another, and then rode away.
On the other side of the Zhishui River, in the Zhao army camp.
As Zhao Zu informed Zhao Cong of the Qin army's arrival at Zhishui River, Zhao Cong got up quickly after hearing the news.
"good!"
When Zhao Cong heard this, he slapped the table angrily with a look of joy on his face.
Now he is worried that the Qin army will not come.
Thinking that Li Mu is now at Yanju in Jingxingnan Road and has not returned to Handan for a long time, he thought of the rumors that Li Mu bluntly said that Zhao Cong was no match for the Qin army and that the Zhao army could not live without him, Li Mu.
"Send my order and prepare the entire army for war!"
Zhao Cong opened his mouth and ordered.
Yan Ju didn't believe that under the natural dangers of Jingxing, not to mention the Qin army's 100,000 troops, even another 100,000 troops would do nothing.
"promise!"
Zhao Zu cupped his hands to receive the order, turned around and left.
Yan Ju took off his sword from the wooden stand on the side and left the camp.
At this moment, Zhao Cong did not realize that the Qin army did not really come to fight at this time, but came to 'compliment and kill!'
After being exposed to the sun, the knife was hot and cold, the air conditioner was 30 degrees Celsius, and I still felt cold even though I was wrapped in a down jacket and quilt. My mind was a little confused, and there were typos. I hope you can forgive me.
Those who have no Yang should pay attention to their health. This disease is really painful. Last night, my wife, who was carrying a knife, cried in pain and her fever reached 40 degrees. Fortunately, there were ice packs at home when we bought groceries.
Those who have yang should pay attention to rest. You must have ibuprofen and Ganmao Ling, and they must be taken separately. If you are wearing a knife, I recommend using it with a knife. It has the slightest effect, at least it is not that painful.
