Chapter 279 Arriving at Jingxing, Meng Tian was shocked
The scorching heat and rising temperatures make people sweat constantly.
In the mansion, when Uncle Meng, Meng Tian and other generals were chatting, they came to the study and saw General Wang Jian standing in front of the map. Everyone was a little surprised.
Isn’t General Wang Jian seriously ill?
This was the first thought of all the Qin generals after seeing Wang Jian. However, looking at General Wang Jian, he was not only standing safe and sound, but also his face was glowing.
This does not look like being sick!!
Ever since, whether it was Uncle Meng, Meng Tian or others, two words came to mind at this moment: pretending to be sick!
"General!"
"General!!"
Uncle Meng, Meng Tian, Qiang Yu and others bowed their hands to Wang Jian. Looking at Wang Jian at this moment, they became more and more curious about what Wang Jian and Bai Yan had planned. Why did Bai Yan lead his army to Jingxing several times before General Wang Jian?
He even pretended to be sick and refused to leave the room.
"The generals are here!"
When Wang Jian saw Uncle Meng and others, he smiled. Then he knew that these generals must be extremely confused at this moment, so he took out the bamboo slips and handed them to Uncle Meng.
Uncle Meng took the bamboo slip with both hands, glanced at Wang Jian, and then lowered his head to look at the contents of the bamboo slip.
It was okay not to look at it, but when I saw Uncle Meng, he was completely stunned on the spot, looking at the contents of the bamboo slips in disbelief.
"What! Impossible! How is this possible!"
Uncle Meng was completely shocked.
This scene made the other generals look at each other, wondering what was inside the bamboo slips and why Uncle Meng had such a reaction.
At this time, Uncle Meng had finished reading the bamboo slips, shook his head, and then looked up at Wang Jian.
"General, I don't understand. Jingxing is a natural danger. How can the deputy general's troops attack Jingxing!"
Uncle Meng looked at Wang Jian and asked curiously.
Following Uncle Meng's words, the eyes of other people in the study who were still very curious flashed with a hint of astonishment. The moment they didn't react, everyone's eyes widened.
"What? General Bai captured Jingxing?"
"Conquer Jingxing?"
In the study room, Meng Tian and Qiang He listened to the exclamations of other generals behind them. At this moment, they also looked confused.
no?
What did Uncle Meng say just now? Bai Yan defeated Jingxing?
Jingxing is a natural danger for Zhao State. The Zhao army relies on the advantage of the territory and is garrisoned by Zhao Bianqi. How could General Bai possibly attack Jingxing? How much time has passed?
"General, what on earth is going on?"
"Yes, General!"
Many Qin generals looked at Wang Jian at this moment, hoping that Wang Jian could tell them the truth.
"We know that you have many questions, so we will first send an order to summon the army. When we arrive at Jingxing, you will know everything!"
Wang Jian felt the eyes of everyone and said with a smile without explaining too much.
"promise!"
"promise!!"
After hearing Wang Jian's words, Meng Tian and others quickly accepted the order, then looked at each other, then turned and left together.
Three days later.
When we arrived at the Jingxing Zhishui River, we saw that the flag of the Qin Army had already been planted on the other side of the river. At a glance, we could vaguely see the traces of a war that had broken out on the other side of the river in the past.
Across the river.
When Meng Tian and Qiang Yu rode their war horses, they followed General Wang Jian all the way to the high slope.
At this moment, everyone was in a daze.
Occasionally, I looked back at the West Bank River where I came from, and couldn't help but recall that in the past, they were blocked by the water control river behind them for several months, and in the blink of an eye, they were already standing on this high slope that they had once looked at with excitement.
After a long time, they arrived at the Qin army camp all the way.
Watching the Qin soldiers patrolling the camp in an orderly manner, the cavalry scouts were running back and forth in the camp.
When they arrived at the camp, Meng Tian and Qiang He finally met Bai Yan.
Along with Bai Yan, there were two generals, Wang Ben and Feng Jie.
Looking at Bai Yan and the others at this moment, not only Meng Tian, Qiang He, but also the other generals were full of curiosity.
How did they capture Jingxing before?
"General!"
"General!!"
Bai Yan led Feng Jie and Wang Ben, and bowed their hands in front of Wang Jian in ceremony.
"walk into!"
Wang Jian said to Bai Yan at this moment.
Bai Yan led the army to break through Jingxing. The pressure that Wang Jian had been shouldering all of a sudden became a hundred times easier.
After all, there was no progress along the way with Yang Duan and Xianyang could be said to have all eyes on him. Now that Bai Yan, Feng Jie, and Wang Ben have successfully captured Jingxing, this is enough to give Xianyang an explanation.
And all that's left is to besiege Handan!
"promise!"
When Bai Yan heard Wang Jian's words, he nodded and looked at each other, smiled, and followed Wang Jian towards the tent.
There are maps and dozens of bamboo slips placed in the camp.
"General, there is not much food and millet left in the Zhao army at this time. Zhao Wangqian tried to use food and grass to suppress Li Mu before, so there is not much food and grass in the Zhao camp here!"
Bai Yan came to the camp and casually informed Wang Jian of the current problems in the camp. After all, Wang Jian was the commander-in-chief, so Wang Jian decided to better deal with these problems.
"Um!"
Wang Jian was not surprised when he heard Bai Yan's words, but after entering the camp, Wang Jian thought about it and looked at Bai Yan.
"How does General Bai plan to deal with Zhao Jun's surrender?"
Wang Jian asked.
If we follow the previous treatment method, like ordinary soldiers who are demoted, they will be captured to serve as corvees, or to build the Qin King's Mausoleum.
"The tens of thousands of Zhao Jun's surrendered soldiers are the elite of Li Mu's command! It would be a pity if they disappeared!"
Bai Yan smiled at Wang Jian.
When Wang Jian heard Bai Yan's words, he was not surprised. As a general leading an army, Wang Jian didn't know how powerful this Zhao Bianqi team was. If he could take them under his command, they would definitely be a strong army.
But the problem is.
This Zhao Bianqi was brought out by Li Mu himself. Li Mu is dead. It is not easy to subdue this Zhao Bianqi.
"General Bai will submit a letter on this matter!"
Wang Jian looked at Bai Yan.
Since Bai Yan wanted to try it, Wang Jian didn't stop him. Besides, since Bai Yan had just made great achievements, he didn't want to dampen Bai Yan's interest.
Inside the tent.
Bai Yan nodded when he heard Wang Jian's words.
"General, according to reports from scouts, the Daibei Army in Jingxing South Road has been led by Yan Ju and withdrawn to Handan!"
Bai Yan came to the map, pointed to Jingxing South Road and said to Wang Jian. Previously, Yan Ju had been leading the Daibei Army to guard the South Road. After receiving the news that the North Road had been lost, Yan Ju decisively retreated back to Handan.
"In this way, there is no Zhao army to defend north of Jingxing. Our army can move northward at any time, or go south to Handan."
Bai Yan looked at Wang Jian: "The destruction of Zhao is very close!"
As Bai Yan finished speaking, all the Qin generals in the camp were shocked.
Destroy Zhao!
They came for this purpose, and now that they were really close, no one could help but get excited. Everyone knew that after destroying Zhao, the rewards they would receive would be extremely generous.
"good!"
When Wang Jian heard Bai Yan's words, his old eyes looked at the map.
At this moment.
Several Qin soldiers had also brought Zhao Cong, who was tied up with five flowers, into the camp.
Next came the matter between Wang Jian and Zhao Cong. Bai Yan did not interfere. When he was about to leave the camp, Qiang Yu came to the side at some point and touched him gently with his elbow.
Bai Yan turned his head to look at Qiang Yu, and then saw Qiang Yu looking at him curiously.
"Tell me, how did you capture Jingxing?"
Qiang Xu asked.
Meng Tian on the side also looked at Bai Yan and Qiang Yu.
See the situation.
Bai Yan could only tell Qiang He briefly what happened, and there was no need to hide it anymore.
After a while.
After learning what had happened, Qiang Yu was stunned.
A last-ditch fight?
How can you still have fun like this even if you risk your life for the rest of your life?
Not only Qiang Yu, but also Meng Tian on the side looked dull. For the first time, he felt that the strategy on the battlefield was so charming.
The battlefield seemed to be in a desperate situation, but after layers of planning, there were actually two outcomes in the end.
Even Meng Tian, who had been reading ancient military books since childhood, had never seen a general who was as miraculous in leading military strategies as Bai Yan, who could turn decay into magic.
"You Bai people are simply born to be generals!"
Qiang He looked at Bai Yan and couldn't help but sigh.
Qiang Yu's words made the other generals on the side agree in their hearts, and looked at Bai Yan with lingering fear.
They thought about whether they could defend Jingxing in Bai Yan's hands if they were Zhao Cong.
The result is difficult.
Bai Yan's plan is really hard to guard against.
No wonder General Wang Jian asked us to ask Bai Yan. Thinking back to the battlefield we saw when we crossed the Zhishui River, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would have dared to believe that Bai Yan really wiped out the Zhao army under those circumstances!
