Qin Gong

Chapter 508 The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Wei, Corpse City

"No one?"

In the study room, after Yang Yan, Feng Nian, Gui and others left, Bai Yan immediately showed surprise when he heard Kou Zhuang's report, and frowned slightly.

Didn't see uncle?
This can't be!The uncle had obviously taken away his horse before, and went to Wudu. According to the uncle's temperament, such an opportunity must never be let go, but Kou Zhuang said that he didn't see anyone.

"General, the last general ordered people to investigate along the way for several days, but no one was seen!"

Kou Zhuang clasped his hands to Bai Yan and said, with a slightly distressed expression on his face. Looking at Bai Yan, Kou Zhuang was also very confused. He really did not see anyone, and he ordered people to search along the way, but they found nothing.

"General, the last general has an order to bear the general, so please punish him!"

Kou Zhuang lowered his head.

Seeing this, Bai Yan shook his head.

"It's okay, just arrange people to wait in Wudu, let's go down first and let the soldiers have a good rest!"

Bai Yan said that he was not worried about not seeing his uncle, the military capital was there, and the people were arranged there, so nothing would go wrong.

"It's not a big deal! Let the soldiers take a good rest, and the meat soup has been prepared."

Bai Yan looked at Kou Zhuang's self-blaming appearance, and comforted him with a smile.

"promise!"

Kou Zhuang heard that, looking at Bai Yan's appearance, it seemed that it was really not a big deal, so he felt relieved, and hurriedly handed over his hands to compose the ceremony, and then left the study.

at sunset.

Outside the city of Licheng, countless bonfires slowly rose.

The meat feast with vegetables and meat in Bai Yan's mouth is not a real meat feast, just like those banquets in rich and powerful mansions, a table of meat, the meat feast that Bai Yan said is finely chopped meat, mixed with vegetables and cooked together A big pot of soup, after stirring the big pot, there is only some minced meat in the soup.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp, and if they are divided up, each soldier can't eat much minced meat.

But for the soldiers, this is already a rare delicacy. Looking around the world, how many soldiers can afford this meal after enlisting in the army, and can drink this oily and meaty soup.

in the camp.

The young soldiers leaned on each other's wooden trailers, looked at the clean and simple wooden bowls, and kept sticking out their tongues to lick the residual hot smell on them.

Wearing leather armor, under the messy hair, each face is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, some of them are very thin, and these young soldiers are the same as all the young soldiers nearby, they are all brought by Bai Yan from Lantian Many new recruits have never tasted the taste of mutton since they were born. Some may have tasted it, but they have already forgotten what it tastes like.

The Qin State focuses on farming and war, and wars without farming, but outside of farming and war, meat has always been a rare item for the common people. Not to mention the difficulty of hunting, even where there are insects and beasts, it is also for the rich and powerful. If it is not a fief, then it belongs to Qin.

"hurry up!"

There was a yelling sound from a distance, and many young soldiers could only smell the residual smell no matter how reluctant they were, and then took the simple wooden bowl in their hands to a wooden trailer in the distance.

"This time I'm telling you, you all have to follow me. When we fight against the soldiers of Wei, we will kill more Wei people. As long as we are brave enough, we will be appreciated by the general and taken to Yanmen. , maybe you can become an iron cavalry like them!"

In front of the wooden trailer, there was not much practice, and the setting up of the camp had already been done. After the young soldiers had eaten their fill, they gathered together. The leader, who looked a little stronger, spoke to the surrounding soldiers.

Those eyes glanced around, as if wishing to go to the battlefield with these people right away.

However, what was surprising was that not only did the other young soldiers around them not laugh, but they all nodded solemnly and looked at each other with extremely firm eyes.

What is even more astonishing is that not only this wooden trailer here, but also other places seem to be discussing a lot. At a glance, this is completely different from the tense atmosphere before the battle at other times. Pawns or new pawns, it seems that they are longing for the next big battle.

"Those recruits all want to attack Daliang right away!"

In the camp, HP, Yu He couldn't help laughing at the scene in the distance.

The surrounding generals and soldiers also smiled and looked at the position of the recruit camp in the distance. Of course they knew why, and they didn't want to go to Yanmen.

Thinking of the rewards Bai Yan had promised to the soldiers in Yanmen before, Yu He, Hui Pu and others couldn't help recalling that they served Zhao Guo under the command of Wu'an Lord Li Mu.

At that time, they never thought that one day they would serve Qin and attack other vassal states for Qin. Even after surrendering to Qin, they did not have this idea, but now, they have come here, Yu He, Hewlett-Packard, and everyone else knew the reason why.

Even Yu He and HP couldn't help but think that even if the two of them brought all their cronies and generals to instigate rebellion against the Bianqi camp, they might not follow them to rebel against Bai Yan.

"Wei's envoy is here!"

A soldier suddenly saw a delicate carriage approaching slowly in the distance, and the followers on the carriage and behind the carriage had Wei flags in their hands, so he couldn't help but speak softly.

Hearing this, Yu He, Hui Pu and the others quickly turned their heads and saw that it was indeed the envoy of the State of Wei. They exchanged a glance, and then walked towards the carriage.

"grown ups!"

The carriage stopped slowly, and when the old corpse walked out of the carriage, he immediately smelled the smell of meat that hadn't dissipated in the air. After all, the mutton soup that Bai Yan prepared for the whole army this time was quite a lot, and it was another mouthful. Cooking in a big pot, the taste will naturally not dissipate so easily.

Also smelling these smells, Wei Xiangshicheng stood on the carriage, looked at the Qin State camp in front of him, and looked at the soldiers of the Qin State, his eyes could not help showing worry.

If it were the other unknown generals of the Qin State, Shi Cheng would be secretly happy. After all, if you are a proud soldier without a fight, you will definitely lose~!

However, the leading general of the opposing party this time is the most famous and most accomplished general of Qin's young and strong faction, Bai Yan, which made Shicheng feel very unhappy when he saw the scene in front of him.

Get off the carriage.

Shicheng looked at the two generals approaching slowly from a distance, they were Yu He and HP who had met several times when they visited Li Mu, Shicheng couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, the reason why he came here on an envoy this time was to When I came to Daying, I hoped to see these two people.

"Cheng, I have seen General Yu He and General HP!"

Shicheng, as Prime Minister Wei and an elder, was the first to compose the ceremony when he saw Yu He and Hui Pu coming over.

"Wei Xiang can't do it!"

Seeing this, Yu He and HP couldn't afford it, so they hurried forward to help the old corpse.

Under the night.

In the mansion in Licheng, Bai Yan sat kneeling in the study room, looking at the bamboo slips, a soldier suddenly walked into the study room, came to Bai Yan's side and whispered something.

Hearing this, Bai Yan couldn't help laughing.

That Wei Xiangshicheng actually wanted to persuade Yu He and Hui Pu, it is a bit whimsical, Yu He and Hui Pu were both generals under Zhao Bianqi and Li Mu, if Bai Yan's relationship with them is unreliable, how can they still talk about attacking Wei Guo .

Watching his confidant leave the study, Bai Yan called a servant and ordered the servant to prepare wine and food immediately, and if Minister Wei came later, please go to the main hall.

After giving all these instructions, Bai Yan continued to look at the bamboo slips.

After half an hour.

As a soldier came to the study to report, Prime Minister Wei Cheng, accompanied by Yang Yan, Yan Mao and Yu He, came to see him.

Bai Yan nodded, then got up and walked out of the study.

When Bai Yan came to the main hall, he saw Yang Yan, Yan Mao, Yu He, and an old man with white hair in the official uniform of Wei State in the main hall.

"General!"

When Yu He saw Bai Yan, he saluted Bai Yan first, then turned sideways and introduced to the corpse beside him. "Wei Xiang, this is General Bai Yan!"

Hearing this, Shi Cheng quickly looked at Bai Yan with a look of astonishment.

Shicheng had always known about Bai Yan's deeds from rumors before, but now, it was the first time to see Bai Yan. Even though he had heard the rumors and was prepared in his heart, when he saw Bai Yan with his own eyes, Shicheng still couldn't bear it. Can't help being a little surprised.

too young!

With such a young face, Shicheng couldn't believe that the jaw-dropping rumors and deeds outside were actually done by this seemingly honest and restrained young man in front of him who could not raise any hostility.

"Bai Yan, meet Prime Minister Wei!"

Bai Yan bowed his hands to Shicheng.

"Shicheng, pay my respects to General Bai Yan!"

Shi Cheng heard Bai Yan's words, watched Bai Yan's salute, recovered his senses, smiled wryly, and quickly raised his hand to return the salute.

Looking at the young Bai Yan, Shicheng felt a little melancholy, and even Shicheng had to admit that Qin was probably the only country that could have such young and skilled generals and produce such young famous generals.

"sit!"

Bai Yan signaled.

Shicheng was not polite to Bai Yan either. After bowing his hands and saluting, he turned around and went to the guest seat beside him, knelt down and looked at the table of delicious wine and meat feast in front of him, but Shicheng had no appetite at this moment.

Outside the city of Licheng, there are tens of thousands of troops from the Qin State, who are preparing to attack the State of Wei.

This makes Shicheng still have thoughts.

Behind the wooden table at the side, Yu He naturally also noticed that Shicheng looked a bit out of his mind. Thinking of what happened just now, Yu He felt a little guilty in his heart. Now Bian Qi has long been the only follower, and even he is willing to follow Bai Yan, I really can't do what Shicheng said I'm sorry for Bai Yan.

"Is the banquet not in line with Wei Xiang's appetite? If you don't like it, Bai Yan will order the servants to change another table!"

Bai Yan sat kneeling behind the wooden table, as the upper part of the lobby, so he could clearly see the sighing behavior of the corpse not far away.

"It's not a banquet!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Shicheng sighed deeply again, then raised his head, looked sideways at Bai Yan, and bowed his hands in salute.

"The corpse is thinking that the general's attack on our Wei country this time is not a good thing for the general or the Wei country."

Having said this, Shi Cheng looked at Bai Yan's curious eyes, paused, and asked again.

"May I ask General Bai Yan, are we sure that we will capture the Great Liang of Wei State within three months?"

Shi Cheng asked.

Looking at Bai Yan, Shi Cheng had already thought about what he was going to say and how he was going to try to persuade Bai Yan to order a letter to be sent to Xianyang to persuade Ying Zheng to retreat.

Shicheng knew that Bai Yan was in Qin State, and was highly valued and appreciated by Ying Zheng. When Yan State assassinated Ying Zheng, Bai Yan even wanted his life and died for Ying Zheng. It can be said that Ying Zheng has great trust in Bai Yan. It is not weaker than those kings who favored ministers such as King Qi, King Zhao, and King Chu in history.

In Shi Cheng's heart, as long as Bai Yan is willing to write a letter, then Ying Zheng will definitely listen to Bai Yan's advice and consider it carefully.

As for how to persuade Bai Yan, Shicheng is not worried. How could Shicheng not know about the Xianyang Court of Qin State? In addition, the fact that Chu State sent assassins to assassinate Bai Yan was enough for him to analyze the pros and cons for Bai Yan to gain power. silly words.
"confident!"

When Shi Cheng was thinking, when he heard Bai Yan's words, he instinctively opened his mouth to say what he had just thought, but after realizing it, Shi Cheng suddenly frowned and looked at Bai Yan with puzzled eyes.

Bai Yan actually said that he was sure! ! !

Be sure to capture the girder within three months!How can this be!

If Bai Yan is very good at leading the army, he would believe it. If the soldiers of Wei State were defeated head-on by Bai Yan's army, he had just been to the camp and saw the morale of the Qin army, so he would believe it.

But Shicheng alone doesn't believe that Bai Yan can take Daliang in March.

"General, I'm afraid I'm joking!"

Shi Cheng's eyes flickered for a moment, he shook his head slightly, and looked at Bai Yan with a suspicious expression.

"Daliang City of our Wei State, after several generations of kings, has often repaired the city, and now it is stationed with a whole country's soldiers and horses. The Qin army wanted to break the city in March. General Bai Yan must not make fun of Shicheng for not being good at leading troops to attack the city. .”

Shi Cheng opened his mouth and said.

The words of Shicheng made Yan Mao and Yu He, who were eating, all showed curious expressions. Is the general sure to capture Daliang in three months?
Only Yang Yan, who was beside Yan Mao, looked at the aged Shicheng with a look of disbelief, and his heart was full of calmness. Thinking of the plan that the general said today, Yang Yan looked forward to it, let Shicheng take a good look at it , How did they capture Daliang.

"How dare Bai Yan deceive Wei Xiang! Wei Xiang will know in five days!"

Bai Yan said to Shicheng, then raised his hand to signal Shicheng to eat first.

"Five days?"

In the first half of the sentence, Shi Cheng frowned, but he still didn't think much of it, but the latter words made Shi Cheng look at Bai Yan suddenly.

Five days?If Bai Yan can't be persuaded right now, after today is over, he will return to Daliang early in the morning, so there is no such thing as five days, after five days, he will almost die.
Twilight.

Shi Cheng thought of something, looked up at Bai Yan in shock.

"Is the general planning to detain Shicheng in Licheng?"

Shi Cheng asked in disbelief.

The war between the two countries does not hurt the diplomatic relations, otherwise it means that there will be no possibility of peace talks, and it will lose the trust of the world. When the war is at war, it will also inspire the enemy soldiers to share the same hatred.

So Shi Cheng never expected that Bai Yan would say such a thing.

Inside the main hall.

Hearing Shicheng's words, Yu He on the side was dumbfounded and forgot to close his mouth while eating.

"In the future, I will trouble Wei Xiang to live in a humble house!"

Bai Yan looked at Shicheng's old face with a dull look, raised his hand bluntly and said to tell Shicheng that he really does not intend to let Shicheng return to Daliang this time.

As for the forced leaving of the corpse, it was not only because Bai Yan had promised Wu Gao to protect the family of the corpse, so it was necessary to use the corpse to lure the corpse to meet him. Especially Duke Jin, his relationship with Shicheng couldn’t be better. Whenever Duke Jin left Wei, Shicheng would personally accompany Duke Jin all the way to the outside of Daliang City. The same is true for Duke Jin. In the country, when leaving Linzi, Jin Gong would personally send the corpse to leave Linzi.

At the beginning, Duke Jin also mentioned that he should seek refuge in Shicheng.

At that time, he was just the son of a farmer from a humble background, and Shicheng was the prime minister of Wei Guo who was too tall to look up to.

But in the end he chose to go to Qin.

Bai Yan didn't tell Shicheng that four years ago, he once went to Daliang, right in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was finally driven away by the Prime Minister's servants holding wooden sticks and cursing.

"The general is not afraid of criticism from the world?"

When Shicheng learned that Bai Yan really planned to keep him in Licheng, his expression became completely flustered, and his eyes were a little angry.

At this moment, Shicheng still doesn't know that the young Bai Yan in front of him is the closed-door disciple of Tian Jin, his best friend in the past. If Shicheng knows, he will be even more pissed off!
