Qin Gong

Chapter 507 Sudden news, Wang Ben can't come
Licheng.

From Yinjin along the official road, through the lake, out of Hangu Pass, then through Xiaoquwo outside Hangu Pass, along Weisai, Mianchi, Xizhou, Luoyang, Gongcheng, after bypassing mountains and rivers, from Wanfeng, Xingyang, to arrive Licheng, where Yingchuan County and Wei State handed over.

Along the way, it took Bai Yan, who commanded [-] soldiers and horses, a whole month and a half to arrive in Licheng. This is also due to the fact that he passed through Sanchuan County and Yingchuan County from Qin State, and they were all along the river. Using ships to transport grain and grass saves a lot of effort.

After entering Licheng, Bai Yan didn't rush to dispatch the army to march, but stationed in Licheng.

For the next three days, Bai Yan has been dealing with the affairs of the army.

Three days later, Bai's cavalry and [-] Zhao Bianqi also arrived in Licheng.

Outside the city of Licheng, with the arrival of nearly [-] Qin cavalry troops, the outside of the city was instantly filled with tents. At a glance, they were densely distributed outside the city with a small distance between them.

In a mansion in Licheng City.

"General!"

"General!!"

Yan Mao, Gui, Feng Nian and others, as well as Bian Qi Yang Yan, Yu He, Hui Pu and others, more than twenty generals all gathered in the courtyard.

Seeing Bai Yan, the Bianqi general Yu He and others were fine, after all they had only seen Bai Yan for a few months, but Yan Mao, Feng Nian and others had not seen Bai Yan for a long time.

Now when he saw Bai Yan in black again, the cavalry generals counted one by one, and they all looked extremely excited at the moment, with joy all over their faces.

Bai Yan walked to the yard, his eyes were still a little sleepy, and he yawned slightly.

"General, all the cavalry have arrived in Licheng!"

"General, all the side riders have arrived in Licheng!"

Yan Mao and Yang Yan stepped forward to report to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan lifted his spirits, heard the report from the two, glanced at the generals in front of him, and saw Feng Nian, Gui, Yu He, Hui Pu and others smiling, Bai Yan smiled, and couldn't help but feel joy in his heart Affection.

When the leader is away, nothing can make him feel more at ease than seeing these people in front of him.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan turned his head to look at Yan Mao, looked at the familiar scar on Yan Mao's cheek, and met Yan Mao's eyes, Bai Yan couldn't help but smile.

However, in the eyes of the world, Yan Mao, the fierce and fierce general, now showed a simple and honest smile in front of Bai Yan. On the cheek full of smiles, even the extremely ferocious scar seemed harmless to humans and animals. , it didn't feel very penetrating like the rumors outside.

"Except for the [-] army in Yandi, all the soldiers of the [-] army in central Guizhou have arrived in Licheng?"

Bai Yan asked.

The army that Yingzheng gave to Bai Yan consisted of [-] troops from Hexi, [-] troops from central Guizhou, [-] troops from Yan State, and [-] cavalry from Yanmen, totaling [-] soldiers.

Regardless of the fact that the two iron cavalry from Yanmen have all come to Licheng, but after the spring plowing, all the new soldiers have entered the camp to practice, and now they are led by Chai and guard the territory of Yanmen, especially those in Yunzhong, Woyang, and Yanmen Mountain. Important land, the Huns want to go south, it is not that simple.

Not to mention, today's Xiongnu poses no threat to Yanmen at all.

When Qin Yan started the war, the Yue family rebelled, the Yanmen border cavalry fought against the Xiongnu, and the Qin army fought against the Yan and Dai soldiers and horses. In the entire north, only Donghu was safe and sound, without any damage.

Both the Xiongnu and the Donghu are nomadic tribes, similar to Qin and Zhao. They are enemies from generation to generation. Facing the intact Donghu, the old enemy, the Huns will go south at this time. Touman Shanyu can lead all the tribes of the Huns, isn’t it A fool, let alone harm the interests of the Huns for the power of the Central Plains.

Touman Shanyu knew better than anyone that if he put the interests of the Central Plains forces above the Huns, he would definitely face the end of betrayal, not far from death.

"General Hui, they have already arrived. If there is no delay, the [-] troops in Yandi should arrive in Licheng in about five days!"

After Yang Yan and Yan Mao looked at each other, Yang Yan turned his head and handed over to Bai Yan to report.

After Yang Yan's words fell, Yan Mao at the side also raised his hand.

"The [-] troops in central Guizhou should arrive in Licheng in about two days."

Yan Mao put away his smile, and after thinking about it, he agreed.

Hearing this, Bai Yan sighed deeply and nodded.

Just when everyone, Feng Nian, Gui, Yu He, Hui Pu and others thought that Bai Yan would immediately deploy an attack order against Wei, Bai Yan suddenly said something that caught everyone off guard.

"The soldiers have worked hard all the way to Xingyang. Pass my order and immediately go down and tell the soldiers in the army that Bai Yan has prepared a feast of vegetables and meat. For the next five days, the soldiers must eat and sleep well!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Yan and Yan Mao and said.

inside the yard.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, almost without exception, everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, Bai Yan's first order was to rest the entire army for five days.

Both Yang Yan and Yan Mao looked at Bai Yan in bewilderment.

Yang Yan thought for a while, hesitated before speaking.

"General, the Great Liang of Wei State is right in front of us now. Although the [-] soldiers from Yandi have not yet arrived, in two days, [-] soldiers from the Central Guizhou Army will arrive. At that time, we may attack Wei State!"

Yang Yan suggested.

To be honest, Yang Yan, as the son of Yang Duanhe, has been familiar with military books since he was a child. After joining the army, he often followed his father to lead the army. This is why Yang Yan was able to leave his father and lead the army alone.

But looking at Bai Yan's actions right now, Yang Yan couldn't understand at all, a soldier's strength lies in his momentum, and in this momentum, there is speed.

Now that they have arrived in Licheng, it is not far from Daliang, the capital of Wei State. At this time, if you don’t seize the opportunity to besiege Daliang and stop in Licheng to rest, what good is this? mood eased and morale was restored.

Military strategists are very taboo to be strong once, then to decline, and to be exhausted three times.

When Yan Mao heard Yang Yan's words, although he had never read military books, but Sheng had the experience of leading soldiers all the way on the battlefield, he also nodded slightly and looked at Bai Yan.

"Yes, General, the morale of the soldiers is high now, even if they fight against the Wei army, the soldiers will not be afraid at all!"

Yan Mao cupped his hands to Bai Yan and said.

Just now they have experienced the attack on the Yan Kingdom. Although they have experienced a great battle, but following Bai Yan's command again, not only their generals, but every soldier is very excited, and can't wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately.

In Yan Mao's eyes, when the [-] central Guizhou army arrived in Licheng, together with iron cavalry and side cavalry, it was enough to advance towards the Wei capital beam, even if they encountered Wei soldiers and horses, they could still fight.

"Don't worry, let the soldiers eat and sleep well first!"

Bai Yan shook his head, looked at the two with a smile, and then walked towards the study, ready to continue dealing with the affairs of the army.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

When Yang Yan and Yan Mao saw Bai Yan's actions, although they were puzzled, they quickly took orders and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while.

Following Yan Mao and Yang Yan's departure to carry out the military orders, Feng Nian and Gui found an opportunity to return to the mansion again, and came to the study to meet Bai Yan.

"General!"

Gui and Feng Nian are both close friends of Bai Yan. One is talkative by nature and the other is introverted. The relationship between these two people is much closer than imagined. People almost all hang out together.

Bai Yan was looking at the bamboo slips and smiled when he saw the two coming.

"sit!"

Bai Yan didn't show courtesy to the two of them, and directly asked them to sit opposite each other.

"General, why don't you attack Wei directly?"

Gui heard Bai Yan's words, smiled and came to the wooden table with Feng Nian and knelt down, then looked at Bai Yan curiously.

"When I was in Yandi before"

Gui was worried that Bai Yan hadn't been to the cavalry camp yet, so he didn't know about the soldiers, so he slowly told Bai Yan about the camp.

When the soldiers followed General Wang Jian to attack Yan State, they heard that the border cavalry who stayed in Yanmen followed the general to kill the Xiongnu in the cloud. With that bold statement, everyone can't wait to return to Yanmen immediately, replace Bian Qi, follow the general to kill the Xiongnu, and let Bian Qi go to attack Yan.

No matter how famous the general, no matter how powerful the general is, they are not as good as their own generals in the eyes of the soldiers. This is the voice of all the cavalry soldiers. Every soldier knows how the old general Bai Yan treated all the soldiers.

So a long time ago, whether it was the wounded soldiers or others, they all wanted to return to the general as soon as possible.

Right now, the general doesn't have to worry about morale at all. No matter if it is the army of Wei or Chu, the soldiers are not afraid of a battle.

Inside the study.

Gui, the chatterbox, was still chattering, telling the soldiers at Bai Yan's camp, and a soldier outside the study came in with a walker and two guards.

"Yi Xiang, pay my respects to General Bai Yan!"

When Yi Xiang saw Bai Yan, she immediately cupped her hands.

Seeing Yi Xiang in official uniform, Bai Yan was a little surprised, got up slowly, and then saluted Yi Xiang.

"This is an urgent order that the king ordered me to send to the general!"

Yi Xiang said, then took a roll of bamboo slips from the guard behind him and handed it to Bai Yan.

"It's work!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands to signal, then took the bamboo slip with both hands, opened it to look at it, and after a few breaths, his brows gradually frowned.

Gui and Feng Nian looked at Bai Yan's appearance, and both were a little worried if something happened again.

"Gui, Master Yi has worked hard all the way, you send Master Yi to rest."

Bai Yan turned his head and said to Gui, then looked at Feng Nian: "Order someone to invite General Yang Yan to come over!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Feng Nian and Gui nodded quickly, Gui signaled Yi Xiang to follow him, and Feng Nian walked towards the door.

"Thank you General!"

Yi Xiang bowed her hands to Bai Yan to show her gratitude, then turned around and left with Gui.

After half an hour.

"General Wang Ben needs to be stationed in Jiaocheng?"

Yang Yan looked at the bamboo slips, raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Bai Yan.

At this moment, Feng Nian and Gui looked at each other in puzzlement. Didn't General Wang Ben say that he was the deputy general of the army and came to attack Wei together?Why can't other generals be appointed to defend Jiaocheng if they suddenly have to stay in Jiaocheng again?

"Could it be those villains in the court again?"

Yang Yan frowned and looked at Bai Yan. When he was in Yanmen, Yang Yan had already learned from his father that most of the officials in the Xianyang court didn't want Bai Yan to be the general of the attack on Wei.

"I have already written to Xianyang, requesting the king, this time General Yang Yan will be the deputy general!"

Bai Yan didn't answer Yang Yan, but just told Yang Yan that he had written the letter and ordered someone to send it to Xianyang.

"No! Thank you General!"

When Yang Yan heard Bai Yan's words, his eyes showed a gleam of joy, then he smiled, put down the bamboo slips, got up and saluted Bai Yan.

"We don't need to be polite!"

Bai Yan shook his head, then looked at the bamboo slips on the wooden table.

Bai Yan knew that those officials alone were not enough to make Yingzheng change his mind. Obviously, those important officials in the court also had this suggestion, so Yingzheng had to think about it. Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Yingzheng ordered Wang Ben to be stationed At the time of Jiaocheng, no one else was ordered to serve as the lieutenant general.

From the beginning to the end, Bai Yan never expected that there would be so many people in the court hall, and he didn't hope that he would be able to attack Wei State this time.

"General, Yang Yan is ignorant. I don't know when the general plans to attack Wei. Yang Yan is worried. If he waits for a long time, something will happen."

After Yang Yan sat down on his knees, he smiled embarrassingly. When he returned to the camp just now, Yang Yan was full of doubts. He really didn't understand why Bai Yan planned to garrison in Licheng for five days.

Now, seeing that there were only Feng Nian and Gui around, Yang Yan couldn't help asking curiously again.

Because Bai Yan had saved Yang Yan's life, Yang Yan would never betray Bai Yan.

"It's too late to attack Wei at this time~!"

Bai Yan heard Yang Yan's words, and said softly, under Yang Yan's puzzled gaze, Bai Yan took a deep breath.

"Looking at the old general Teng who took the order before and directly led the troops to attack Han, he first conquered Yangcheng, the heavy city, and then conquered the new city, breaking Shenarmao. There was no need to attack Xinzheng just now. Afterwards, no matter whether Zhao is destroyed or Yan is defeated, even if Zhao Wubian Even without a large army, Yan was able to defend the capital. Handan was destroyed, and there were no less than [-] dead! Jidu was besieged by General Wang Jian for half a year after Yishui was defeated!"

When Bai Yan said this, he looked at Yang Yan.

"Before the state of Wei learned that the state of Qin was about to attack Wei, it had already gathered all the soldiers and horses of the cities of the state of Wei, and the food, grass and supplies were all in Daliang City. Lose and lose! Qin Wei will lose."

Bai Yan said.

In Bai Yan's mind, in history, Wang Ben commanded more than [-] troops from the Qin State at the beginning, and directly attacked the Wei State's beams. As a result, he attacked the Wei State's capital city for several months. There were countless casualties, and even the army was restless. Finally, thinking of Bai Qi's flooding of Yancheng, he was able to break the city.

The same is true. After breaking Daliang City later, Wang Ben killed Wei Wangjia without hesitation in order to calm the anger of the soldiers, and it was also because of the anger in his heart.

Why was there anger? Bai Yan guessed that those Chu officials in the court at that time must have targeted Wang Ben just like they are now targeting him, and there is a theory of profit and loss in Qin State. Once too many soldiers died , all the generals and generals not only have no merit, but have had.

This is why there is restlessness in the army.

After all, seeing that Daliang could not be breached, all the soldiers and generals would lose their minds due to anger.

But also because of this incident, when Qin State attacked Chu State later, whether it was when Li Xin attacked Chu State, or after Li Xin failed, Wang Jian attacked Chu State, Wang Ben did not participate.

Bai Yan thought about the current situation of Xianyang Chaotang, Bai Yan knew that if he did great damage this time, even with Yingzheng's favor, he would not be able to participate in the attack on Chu, Yingzheng agreed, and the court Those officials in the country will oppose it.

by the wooden table.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Feng Nian and Gui didn't have deep experience and knowledge, so they couldn't comprehend. They just frowned, thinking that it would be difficult to capture Daliang.

But Yang Yan was different. Hearing what Bai Yan said, his expression had already become dignified. Suddenly thinking back, it seemed that it was indeed the same as what Bai Yan said. Moreover, compared with Jidu, Daliang was the capital of Wei State. Famous for its prosperity in commerce and trade, when it attacked Handan, which had few soldiers and horses, so many soldiers died, and now it attacks Daliang, which has a large army.

"Then what should I do?"

Yang Yan's breathing was a little short, and he suddenly lost his mind and looked at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan met Yang Yan's gaze, and didn't answer in a hurry, but took the brush on the wooden table that had just been written on the bamboo slips, soaked in ink, got up and walked to the map hanging on the room in the distance.

Seeing this, Yang Yan quickly got up and walked away, so did Feng Nian and Gui.

When the three of them came behind Bai Yan, they suddenly realized that Bai Yan had drawn a line on the map between Daliang and Xingkou with a brush in his hand, and another line between Honggou and Daliang.

Yang Yan looked at the key points of the two lines, both connected to the main beam, and the other side, both! ! !

"water"

Yang Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and the solemn expression disappeared, replaced by excitement.

If it was Bai Yan’s words just now, Yang Yan suddenly realized that his heart was full of mist, and he was confused about attacking Daliang, then the two lines on the map at this moment were like lights, breaking through all the mist in an instant , showing all the results before your eyes.

Looking at the two lines at this moment, Yang Yancai was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that from the very beginning, Wei Guo's plan to stick to Liang was doomed to fail, and Wei Guo was doomed to destroy the country.

Looking at Bai Yan, Yang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, full of admiration. He didn't expect that Bai Yan already knew how to deal with Wei Guo and how to capture Daliang in his heart.

He also thought of those officials in Xianyang Palace, and the bamboo slips just now.

Yang Yan, who seldom laughed, suddenly felt extremely funny at this moment, and couldn't help laughing, thinking that if the officials in the court knew that Bai Yan knew how to destroy Wei from the beginning, and had enough Sure, it's planned.

I don't know how those officials will feel! ! !

"This matter must not be revealed before the soldiers encircle the beam!"

Seeing the "eyes" of Feng Nian, Gui, and Yang Yan, Bai Yan smiled, shook his head, and then took a pen and ink to draw a few more horizontal lines on it, although no one would dare to come here privately. Study room, let alone looking at the map, but it is always right to be careful.

But even if it was revealed and Wei Guo knew, Wei Guo had no choice now, and Wei Guo brought all the food, grass, and luggage into Daliang.

"General!"

Suddenly, just as Bai Yan turned around, he saw Kou Zhuang walking into the study with a flustered face outside the study, his breath full of haste.

Looking at Kou Zhuang's appearance, Bai Yan was a little puzzled.
