Chapter 430 Kill a Huns and get a set of clothes as a reward
"General! Outside the camp, the censor is asking for an audience!"
Bai Yan was looking at the bamboo slips when a soldier walked into the camp and saluted Bai Yan.
"Prison Censor? Mi Jing!"
When Bai Yan heard the soldiers' words, he sighed in his heart. The war was about to begin. Bai Yan really didn't want to waste any time on the eldest son of a mortal enemy. When he was in Shanwu City before, he took the opportunity to leave directly, not wanting to waste any more energy.
After all, I had been traveling continuously day and night, so I would be lying if I said I wasn't tired. When I arrived at Yanmen, I didn't even have time to rest.
"Please come into the camp! No, I want to go in person!"
Bai Yan originally planned to ask the soldiers to bring Mi Jing in, but after thinking about it, it was better to go in person. He had never seen Mi Jing before, and he didn't know what Mi Jing's character was like.
He placed the bamboo slip in his hand on the wooden table. What was written on the bamboo slip was clearly the number of registered adult males in Yanmen County. As the governor of Yanmen County, he had the number of household registrations, number of people, and farmland in other counties.
He didn't know the quantity, but Bai Yan could still figure out the situation in Yanmen.
In Bai Yan's plan, these men are crucial to the upcoming battle.
Outside the camp.
Bai Yan was escorted by several cavalry officers and walked all the way to the gate.
Then, under the signal of the leading officer, he suddenly saw three men waiting beside the carriage.
Among the three men, the leader was wearing an official uniform of the Qin State and carrying a rank. Bai Yan knew without even thinking that this man should be Mi Jing.
Bai Yan watched as the three men raised their hands one after another when they saw him. Bai Yan naturally raised his hands as he walked.
"Bai Yan, meet Master Mi!"
Bai Yan came to the man and greeted him with a smile. His tone was full of enthusiasm and intimacy, without any concealment.
This made the smile on Mi Jing's face become more natural.
"Mi Jing, meet General Bai!"
Mi Jing was the first to salute Bai Yan.
Following Mi Jing's words, the two men beside Mi Jing also saluted Bai Yan.
"Jing Qi, meet General Bai!"
"Zhao Wushang, meet General Bai!"
Two men much older than Mi Jing, wearing fine silk clothes and jade ornaments, spoke to Bai Yan, which was equivalent to revealing his origins.
Two of the three major gentry families in the Chu State were the Jing family and the Zhao family.
For example, Lu has three Huan, Zheng has Qi Mu, Song has eight clans including Dai Huan, Jin has eight surnames, six clans, and nine clans, etc. Today, the person with the strongest reputation, prestige, power, and power in Chu State is Qu.
The three Jingzhao families and their children are spread throughout Chu State, and they all firmly occupy the territory of Chu State.
"Bai Yan, I've met you two!"
Bai Yan looked at the man named Jing Qi, who was in his forties, and Zhao Wushang, who was in his thirties, with a strange expression, and then some relief.
The King of Chu passed away due to illness, and all forces were vying for the next King of Chu. If Bai Yan guessed correctly, in fact, it was definitely not only Jing Qi and Zhao Guanshang who came to Yanmen, there must be other people from the Chu Kingdom
The power has come.
"I heard that General Bai has arrived at Yanmen. Mi Jing took the liberty to come to visit. I hope General Bai will not be surprised!"
After Mi Jing finished the ceremony, he looked up at the young man in black clothes in front of him and said with a smile.
The smile of the young man just now made Mi Jing clearly feel that Bai Yan in front of him was quite close to him, which made Mi Jing feel very proud in his heart. The young man in front of him must have never imagined that he assassinated Bai Yu and allowed the Huns to raid Shangjun Gao.
Everything about the slave was planned by his uncle and his father.
While thinking, the more Mi Jing thought about it, the brighter her smile became.
"Why did Master Mi say this? Master Mi came to Yanmen from Xianyang after a long journey. Bai Yan was in Shanwu City before and did not prepare a banquet. Please tell Master Mi. This is not Bai Yan's fault. During this period, Bai Yan has been
I feel so ashamed that I originally wanted to wait for General Wang Jian’s victory before hosting a banquet for Master Mi. But seeing Master Mi coming in person today, Bai Yan feels even more guilty!"
When Bai Yan heard Mi Jing's words, his smile slowly disappeared, he looked at Mi Jing with a guilty look, and then saluted Mi Jing again.
"The safety of Yanmen is far more important than Mi Jing. General Bai is responsible for the safety of a whole county. How can he delay important events because of Mi Jing! If so, how can Mi Jing see anyone!"
Mi Jing quickly stretched out his hand to help Bai Yan, his expression was very real.
If Jing Qi and Zhao Wanshang didn't know some of the inside story, they might still believe Mi Jing's expression. In the eyes of the two of them, Bai Yan still didn't know anything, and he treated Mi Jing with enthusiasm. Little did they know that Chang Ping
Lord, Lord Changwen is thinking about getting rid of the Bai family all the time.
Thinking of this, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang looked at Bai Yan with a flash of ridicule in their eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
"please!"
After Bai Yan and Mi Jing were polite, he invited Mi Jing in to talk.
"please!"
When Mi Jing saw this, he naturally would not refuse and quickly made a go-first gesture to Bai Yan.
After a while.
A group of people arrived at the tent of the main camp.
As soon as Mi Jing, Jing Qi, and Zhao Wushang entered the commander's tent, they saw dense mounds of earth on the wide ground, small wooden square walls, and various small wooden walls placed on the ground.
From every corner, you can see all kinds of mountain and forest terrains.
When I saw this scene, not to mention Mi Jing, who had only stayed in the military camp for a while and had never led troops to the battlefield, there were a lot of Jing Qi in his forties and Zhao Wushang in his thirties.
They all looked surprised.
"General Bai, what is this thing?"
Jing Qi was the first to ask.
As the son of Jing Shi of the Jing family, although Jing Qi is not the eldest son of Jing Shi, he has been very ambitious since he was a child, and Jing Qi's luck is not bad. Although he is not as loyal as his elder brother and others, Jing Qi has been loyal to King Chu You.
Qi has always been by Xiong Fuchu's side, and is also one of Xiong Fuchu's few confidants, earning Xiong Fuchu's trust.
Therefore, Jing Qi was somewhat involved in the study of military formations, and often went to the Xiang Family to visit General Xiang Yan.
However, this was the first time for Jing Qi to see such a surprising thing before him. Mountains, rivers, terrain, lakes and dense forests were all within his sight.
"It's just a map of earth gathering!"
When Bai Yan heard Jing Qi's words, he pointed at the wooden plate and explained.
In fact, Bai Yan doesn't need to hide the matter of this wooden plate at all. If Qin is attacked now, Bai Yan will not take out this thing at all. Otherwise, it will put more pressure on Qin.
Bai Yan took out this thing now. It was clear that the Qin State was attacking other countries. There was no need to worry at all, even the Chu State was no exception. Just like once the Qin State went to war with the Chu State, even if the Chu people did not have this thing, not only would they be able to
I am very familiar with the terrain, rivers, etc., and even the registered population of each place, etc., I know clearly that the country that has truly improved the most is the Qin State.
"Gather Tutu!"
When Jing Qi heard Bai Yan's words, he stared blankly at the seemingly inconspicuous thing in front of him, but when he thought about it, it was terrifying, and he murmured.
When he came back to his senses, Jing Qi looked at Bai Yan in front of him with serious eyes.
Everyone had said before that Bai Yan was ferocious and good at fighting. Although Jing Qi was wary, he was not too frightened. After all, Chu State has a vast territory. There is no need to fear Qin State in terms of soldiers and people's hearts. What's more, the land of Chu is Chu people.
Yes, what would happen if Bai Yan led his troops to invade? If he were to fight the Chu State in a place with dense mountains and forests, Bai Yan would be at a disadvantage due to the terrain alone.
But now, as he came to the camp and saw the dense mounds of earth with his own eyes, Jing Qi almost instantly thought of the topography and landforms of the Chu Kingdom.
When he thought about the future war between Qin and Chu, all the mountains, forests and rivers of Chu would be displayed in front of Bai Yan as they were now. How could this not make Jing Qi, a Chu native, worried?
"It's just a small thing that Bai Yan made in a hurry because he was anxious!"
Bai Yan said with a smile, and then motioned for Mi Jing to take a seat.
Inside the tent.
Small Things!!!
Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes, but for now they could only hide it. After returning to Chu State, they would inform General Xiang Yan no matter what.
The four of them knelt down and sat at the wooden table.
"Now General Wang Jian is leading an army to attack the Yan Kingdom. The Xiongnu may go south at any time. Mi Jing was still uneasy before, but now that he sees General Bai returning to Yanmen, he feels relieved. I think General Bai must have a countermeasure!"
After Mi Jing knelt down and looked at Bai Yan, he cupped his hands and said.
When Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang heard Mi Jing's words, they also looked at Bai Yan curiously. They didn't know how Bai Yan would deal with the possibility of the Xiongnu invading at any time.
The performance in the battle was still based on the planning of Shangjun Gao Nu, and even the two battles when attacking Zhao State that shocked the world.
Bai Yan is by no means a mediocre general.
Even among the entire younger generation of generals in the Qin Kingdom, Bai Yan was the only one who did not fall at a disadvantage when fighting against Li Mu.
"The changes on the battlefield are ever-changing. Now for Bai Yan, all he has to do is keep an eye on the Yuezhi, and then send additional troops to Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng!"
Bai Yan heard Mi Jing's inquiry and explained softly.
Under the confused gazes of Mi Jing, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang, Bai Yan looked at the three of them with a calm expression.
"If the Xiongnu wants to go south, they can only go south from Dai. Only by entering Dai can the Xiongnu confuse us and make us not know whether the Xiongnu is attacking Yishui from Dai or Yanmen from Dai. Therefore, in
As far as Yanmen is concerned, defend Yanmen Mountain and level the city!"
Bai Yan analyzed it for the three of them.
Mi Jing, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang listened to Bai Yan's very reasonable analysis. They all looked thoughtful and nodded slowly.
In the eyes of the three people, after Bai Yan's analysis and reminder, things were indeed as Bai Yan said.
But just when the three of them agreed with what Bai Yan said and were about to speak to Bai Yan, they thought so too, Bai Yan's voice sounded again.
"But Bai Yan has a vague hunch that the Xiongnu will probably not attack Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng, but will send a large army to attack Yishui!"
Bai Yan said softly.
While talking, the curtain of the tent was opened, and several soldiers brought out the meat and vegetables that Bai Yan had ordered to prepare in advance.
"Yishui?"
"How could it be Yi Shui?"
Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang heard Bai Yan's change of conversation and said with great certainty that the Xiongnu would definitely send an army to Yishui. They frowned and didn't understand why Bai Yan was so sure. Logically speaking, the Xiongnu didn't know Bai Yan now.
They have already returned to Yanmen, and all the Bai family's cavalry have been transferred to Yishui, so it is the best choice for the Xiongnu to come to Yanmen.
You must know that the Kingdom of Zhao was destroyed for only a year. Not to mention that Yang Duanhe took office not long ago and it was difficult to control Zhao Bianqi. In the Zhao area, except for Yanmen, the remaining forces of the old Zhao in other counties were massacred by Bai Yan in Zhongmou City.
There are few, but there are still many remaining old gentry in other places.
"If you drink alcohol now, you won't worry about interfering with General Bai's important affairs!"
Mi Jing looked at the good wine and meat on the wooden table with a look of surprise. Then he looked up at Bai Yan calmly and said with a smile.
A long time ago, Mi Jing heard rumors that Bai Yan, a descendant of the Bai family, was in the army, managed the army well, and had a reputation of sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Mi Jing did not believe it a long time ago. After all, Mi Jing was the eldest son of Lord Chang Wen.
, and Bai Yan is also a descendant of the Bai family. Mi Jing, who is also from a noble family, does not believe that Bai Yan is really as rumored.
It's not like Mi Jing has never seen other talented people with good reputations, but without exception, most of them are exaggerating or stealing things behind their backs.
At the moment, as he saw the good wine and delicious food in front of him, Mi Jing naturally smiled knowingly, and said in his heart, "I already know it"!
"It doesn't matter! Tomorrow Bai Yan will go to Yanmen Mountain. Although it is not sure whether the Huns are in Yishui, Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng must not be lost! Today Bai Yan has prepared fine wine to entertain Master Mi and the two gentlemen!"
When Master Xu heard about Mrs. Xu's death a long time ago, he said he wanted to see her mother's grave, and he kept delaying it. So when he was in Xianyang, Master Xu asked Bai Yan, and Bai Yan naturally agreed, and as Master Xu
After leaving, there was no maid pouring wine in the camp. After Bai Yan poured the wine for Mi Jing and the others, he raised his glass to the three of them.
"please!"
Bai Yan said.
As for the fact that a jar of wine had been brought to the camp, Bai Yan did not say anything. If the camp opens tomorrow, many soldiers may not be able to come back alive. They should have a bowl of wine when they leave.
But counting the time, the soldiers should have loaded all the wine into the carriage and prepared to go to Woyang.
"Are you going north tomorrow?"
Mi Jing and Jing Qi looked surprised when they heard Bai Yan's words. Then they nodded, picked up the wine barons and toasted to Bai Yan.
"please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them drank the wine in the wine glass.
After drinking.
Mi Jing let out a breath, put down the wine cup, looked at Bai Yan, and turned to look at Jing Qi calmly.
That look in his eyes seemed to say, "Look, Bai Yan has no defense against me at all. He believes in me so much that he not only really wants to lead the army to Yanmen Mountain, but also tomorrow!"
An hour later.
Mi Jing and Zhao Wushang were drunk and carried to the carriage by the soldiers. Jing Qi had a good drinking capacity. After all, he had been following Xiong Fuchu all the time and usually had banquets. But after walking a few steps, Jing Qi felt a little wobbly.
Put it up.
"If General Bai doesn't send you off, we'll stay in Shanwu and wait for General Bai to return in triumph!"
After Jing Qi drank too much, he spoke to Bai Yan in a formal manner, like a successful and highly prestigious counselor, and raised his hands to compose a ceremony.
It is said that alcohol is the easiest thing for men to get along with. Jing Qi, who drank too much, talked with Bai Yan like good friends.
"Thank you for your good words!"
Bai Yan pretended to be drunk and returned the favor with his hand, and then watched Mi Jing and the others get on the carriage and walk back towards Shanwu City accompanied by many Qin officials and subordinates.
Inside the camp.
After Bai Yan returned to the camp, he did not go to the tent, but walked towards the open space.
When they arrived at the clearing, what came into view was a neatly packed carriage filled with armor. And in the clearing, they were all densely packed with soldiers wearing civilian clothes with holes sealed.
Bai Yan took a quick look and saw that Zhao Bianqi, who was once famous all over the world, was all wearing coarse rags after taking off his clothes and armor, and turned to look at him.
"General! Everything is ready!"
After Kuai Jin saw Bai Yan, he walked up to Bai Yan and bowed his hands in greetings. At this moment, Kuai Jin had also taken off his armor.
"Tell the soldiers, if the wine is in Woyang, whoever kills a Huns will do it in the future."
Under Kuai Jin's gaze, Bai Yan slowly spoke and looked at all the soldiers around who had taken off their armor.
"Reward a set of clothes!"
Bai Yan said softly under the gaze of all the surrounding soldiers.
After saying that, Bai Yan slowly turned around, while Kuai Jin and the surrounding side knights who stayed on the spot were all stunned. When they woke up, everyone had a look of ecstasy.
Can you get a set of clothes by killing a Huns?
"The general said, kill a Huns"
"The general just said, kill"
In an instant, the camp was filled with discussions among the soldiers. As Bai Yan's order spread, all the soldiers were excited. After hearing the news, almost all the soldiers started gearing up and decided in their hearts.
I want to kill more Huns this time and get a few more sets of clothes for my family.
As for Bai Yan, none of the soldiers would question how Bai Yan treated them. They had always experienced it. They knew clearly that Bai Yan never treated them as outsiders and never even guarded against them.
Whether they were in the camp or heading north before, if someone riding beside them was injured, there was no need to worry. Even if they died in battle, there was no need to worry about their families.
"General!"
Kuai Jin looked at Bai Yan's leaving figure, his eyes full of passion, and turned his head.
"Go down with the order and get ready to break camp after sunset! Except for the soldiers who are sending their armor to Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng, all the rest will rush to Woyang!"
Kuai Jin ordered.
At this moment, Kuai Jin was full of expectations. After a few days of fighting, General Yifang, General Huipu, and General Yu He had all rushed to Woyang. He only waited for the sunset after the city was closed and it became dark. Hepu, Yu and the two generals,
Then he will lead all the people of Woyang to Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng.
I remembered the general's order that after all the people in Woyang arrived at Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng, as long as they were adults, both men and women, they were required to wear armor and paint their faces. The men and the original defenders were all required to go to the city tower and go south after the Xiongnu retreated.
Kuai Jin turned his head and looked in the direction of Yunzhong, his eyes full of killing intent.
"The Xiongnu dare to rush into Yanmen from the clouds this time. This trip will be their death!"
Wei State.
As Tian Ding's carriage stopped in Daliang, two days later, Tian Ding asked his followers and Qi martial arts to escort his beloved daughter Tian Feiyan back to Qi.
This was not because Tian Ding wanted to stay or what he wanted to do, but it was an unfortunate coincidence that not long after the news of King Chu's death, King Wei also died suddenly of illness, catching everyone off guard.
As a clan member of Qi State, Tian Ding happened to pass by Daliang, so it was naturally impossible for him to directly ignore the death of King Wei and return to Qi State. Otherwise, it would not only have a bad impact on Tian Ding, but also Qi State.
After all, where the King of Qi is not around, Tian Ding, in the eyes of the world, can represent Qi in every move he makes.
"Order someone to take the letter to Bairen! Make sure Lin Anshun and Xunzhou come to Daliang!"
"This letter is for Mr. Wei. You must hand it to Mr. Wei personally!"
Tian Ding handed over two autographed letters to his retinue at the ambassador's residence.
Being able to stay by Tian Ding's side, and not leaving Tian Ding's side when Tian Ding went to Xianyang, it is natural that all the followers, without exception, have extraordinary abilities.
"promise!"
After hearing Tian Ding's words, the subordinates bent down and raised their hands, holding the two scrolls of bamboo slips, and then slowly retreated.
Tian Feiyan, who was standing aside, curled his lips when he heard his father's words.
People from Bai! Lin Anshun and Xunzhou are not from Bai, and Mr. Wei is not from Bai!
"Alas~!"
Tian Feiyan sighed.
The King of Wei was so good at death, why did he die at this time? Now Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, who had been able to hide it from their father, would be completely exposed. When the retinue came back, his father would know that Lin Anshun and Xunzhou had deceived him before.
"Yan'er, although the Kingdom of Wei is not in chaos, the King of Wei died of illness. In a few days, a large number of people from all over the country will be summoned here, and it will be very mixed. You have to leave and go back to Qi Kingdom first!"
After Tian Ding watched his followers leave, he turned to look at Tian Feiyan and whispered.
There was no room for discussion in the tone.
"I know, father!"
Tian Feiyan looked at his father Tian Ding and nodded obediently.
In this matter, Tian Feiyan will not embarrass his father. This is not the territory of Qi State. Being willful here will only cause trouble for his father.
Although he had no mother to teach him since he was a child, he still had to be willful about things and when to be obedient. When Tian Feiyan was alone, he sat in the pavilion and watched his father and brother, with the figures of guests coming in and out, repeatedly.
Again, it gradually became clear.
"Father, promise your daughter not to go to Chu!"
When Tian Feiyan stood up, he felt a little worried. He turned to look at his father, his eyes narrowed, full of threats.
Likewise, her words cannot be ignored!
Seeing this, Tian Ding's usually serious face couldn't help but smile. He looked at his daughter lovingly and nodded seriously in front of her.
According to historical records, the main ministers responsible for the Chu king were: Ling Yin Ren Ni, Jing Qi, Qu Ding, and Changping Jun Mi Qi.
