General Teng Lao and other generals in the study could not figure out why Yangcheng Baiyu's cavalry army suddenly left Yangcheng.
But right now.
General Teng knew that Bai Yu's poisoning could no longer be concealed, so he naturally wanted to report the incident to Xianyang.
Previously, the Qin army was attacking Xincheng, and it could be said that it was worried about affecting the morale of the army. It could also be said that Bai Yu was worried about the food and baggage, so there were many reasons.
Now the news has spread to Xincheng.
Whatever you say must be reported to Xianyang.
"I will report to Xianyang first."
General Teng said to the generals, then turned and walked towards the desk.
Hu Jin and several other generals watched General Teng writing the bamboo slips. They did not leave in a hurry, but stood in the study.
After the capture of Xincheng, there will be an upcoming attack on Xinzheng, the capital of Han Dynasty. Many matters need to be decided by General Teng, and it does not take long for General Teng to write a bamboo slip to report Bai Yu's incident to Xianyang.
"With Sima Xing here, the king should not order someone to change the general."
"It shouldn't be the case. Changing generals during war would cause the military's morale to be unstable."
"But I heard that Meng Wu's son Meng Tian has joined the army, and he might come to Yangcheng to lead the army for training."
After General Teng left, several generals discussed among themselves.
They knew that fortunately before Bai Yu fell into coma, he asked Sima Xing to rush to Yangcheng. Now Sima Xing has been in Yangcheng for several days. Generally speaking, no matter who knows about this in Xianyang, he will not change his general again.
But things are not always certain.
They all knew the Meng family's status in the court and the king's heart.
Now that Meng Ao's grandson and Meng Wu's son Meng Tian has joined the army, it is not ruled out that Meng Tian will come to lead the army. Although the possibility is small, it is not possible.
In the study room.
General Teng was writing bamboo slips at his desk when he suddenly heard a voice.
"General Teng!"
Hu Jin came to General Teng, thought for a moment, and bowed his hands in salute.
Upon hearing this, General Teng raised his head and looked at Hu Jin.
Seeing Hu Jin's troubled appearance, General Teng was not surprised, and even the other generals in the study were not surprised.
The Bai family and the Hu family are family friends, and Bai Yu and Hu Jin have a life-or-death relationship.
So looking at Hu Jin's appearance now, they all knew why.
Hu Jin looked at General Teng and knew that General Teng had not been in a hurry to report the situation before, and had personally ordered Sima Xing to return to Yangcheng. He should not say anything now.
But I think of Bai Yu.
Hu Jin decided to be shameless and asked General Teng to intercede for Bai Yu and Sima Xing on the bamboo slips.
But just when Hu Jin decided to speak.
Suddenly, a Qin soldier hurried into the study outside the door.
"Report, report to the general, the cavalry army has arrived outside the city."
After Qin soldiers came to Hu Jin's side, they raised their hands to General Teng and said.
Hear the words.
General Teng looked at the soldiers of Qin.
When several other generals heard the news, they also looked at each other. Just now they were discussing why the Yangcheng cavalry did not follow the food and baggage but left Yangcheng alone.
At this moment, Qin soldiers came to report that Yangcheng's cavalry and iron troops had arrived in Xincheng.
"Report!"
At this time, another Qin soldier hurried into the study.
"Report, general, outside the mansion, doctor Bai Yan is asking to see you!"
Qin Zu raised his hands to General Teng and said.
Hu Jin and several other generals were a little surprised when they heard that it was Bai Yan asking for an audience outside the mansion.
The cavalry army has just arrived at the new city.
Bai Yan just came to ask for a meeting?
"Let him in!"
General Teng said, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, he vaguely guessed for some reason that the reason why Bai Yu's Bai family cavalry left Yangcheng was probably related to Bai Yan.
Outside the mansion.
Bai Yan led the war horse, followed by several cavalry soldiers.
Originally, it was expected that when they went south from Wanfeng, it would be more than enough to catch up with the food and baggage. However, they forgot that when the guards were escorting the food and baggage, they were also constantly consuming food and grass, and the consumption rate was far beyond Bai Yan's expectation.
This is also the reason why I almost didn’t catch up.
Fortunately, when the grain, grass and baggage finally arrived in the new city, the cavalry army followed them closely.
Bai Yan felt that if the Qin State had not captured Bashu before, the Qin State might not have been able to carry out continuous military campaigns in recent years.
No wonder the Changping War in the past lasted for three years and not only emptied the Zhao State, but also used up all the Qin State's wealth.
Been waiting for a long time.
The sound of footsteps just came from inside the mansion.
Bai Yan looked around, and then he saw the Qin soldier who had gone to inform him before and asked him to see General Teng.
Bai Yan handed over the war horse to the cavalry officer, and then followed the Qin soldier into the mansion.
In the study room.
After Bai Yan entered, he saw that in addition to General Teng, General Hu Jin and several generals were there.
"Bai Yan, meet General Teng."
Bai Yan raised his hands in salute to General Teng.
"No need to be polite!"
General Teng looked at the young man in front of him and recalled that when he was at the Yangcheng Mansion in the past, the young man had a few words with him and then stood aside silently. He did not show any signs of pride because he was the first to achieve success. Such a character.
Please see me now.
I'm afraid I must have something to tell him.
"But something happened?"
General Teng asked.
Several generals looked at Bai Yan, and they couldn't help showing a trace of regret in their eyes.
They all have a good impression of this young man.
However, Bai Yu was assassinated and poisoned, and the young man was not given much time at all. Otherwise, when the young man had enough titles to control the Bai family's cavalry, he would surely become a powerful general in the future.
It's a pity, but now they are all curious about why Bai Yan suddenly came to the new city and then asked to see General Teng.
Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan, thinking that General Teng was about to send the news of Bai Yu's poisoning back to Xianyang, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"General, after my uncle was poisoned, he ordered Bai Yan to carry millet and escort the grain and grass. Previously, Bai Yan guessed that the Korean army would raid the grain and grass on the way, so he led the cavalry army to leave Yangcheng."
Bai Yan spoke slowly.
In the study room, when General Teng, Hu Jin, and several other generals heard Bai Yan's words, they were not surprised that Bai Yu would ask Bai Yan to escort the food and supplies. After all, Bai Yu was poisoned, so he must be anxious to give Bai Yan a chance to make meritorious deeds, otherwise
How could Sima Xing be allowed to return to Yangcheng?
But when they heard what happened later, General Teng, Hu Jin and other generals suddenly opened their eyes wide.
Before, they had always just wondered why the cavalry army left Yangcheng, and the food and grass baggage arrived in Xincheng. They didn't think much about it, and they were all thinking about reporting Bai Yu's poisoning to Xianyang. They ignored the fact that the food and grass baggage arrived in Xincheng. It was Han from other places.
The army did not make a surprise attack, or the surprise attack was not successful, or the
At this time, they remembered that when the general reported just now, he did not seem to mention that the soldiers were attacked, resulting in many casualties, or that the food and grass were damaged.
In the study room.
Several generals looked at each other. Even Hu Jin seemed to have a premonition of something. He looked at Bai Yan with eyes full of surprise and expectation.
