Qin Gong

Chapter 520 Shocked and Shocked
Prime Minister Zuo Kai came to the camp of the State of Qin, and was escorted by iron cavalry to leave the next day. Except for talking with Bai Yan at night, he asked some questions to no avail, so he wisely stopped asking, and instead spent more time on On the body of the corpse.

After all, the corpse family is a well-known family in the Wei state, and the corpse village is the prime minister of the Wei state. If the corpse family can become an official in the Qin state court, it is not a way to appease the scholars of the Wei state.

"The corpse city still won't eat or drink?"

Bai Yan was in the commander's tent, dealing with the affairs of the camp. Fortunately, after the Xianyang edict arrived, Yang Yan was a legitimate deputy general, and now he was able to share the affairs for Bai Yan, which freed up Bai Yan's energy.

"Still don't eat!"

Mang looked at Bai Yan and thought of Shicheng, his face was a little impatient, if he said murder, Mang would never frown, but the caregiver is still an old man, which makes Mang who was born as a butcher, how can he be patient.

"General, if I don't want to persuade you again?"

Mang looked at Bai Yan.

Thinking of Prime Minister Zuo repeatedly telling him to take good care of the corpse before he left, Meng was filled with sorrow. In Meng's eyes, if he could, he really hoped that Prime Minister Zuo could take the corpse away.

"No! He will come!"

Bai Yan shook his head and didn't let Mang go on.

Bai Yan knew that at this time, except for Shicheng himself, no one could persuade Dongshicheng to open his heart knot and destroy the country for the sake of the prime minister. Seeing Daliang, the famous capital of a generation, being submerged by the flood, it is normal for Shicheng to accept it.

"Will he come?"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Mang frowned a little, puzzled, recalled seeing Shicheng's loveless appearance just now, and told the soldiers to be careful and not let Shicheng commit suicide.

Why did Shicheng come here to find the general?

Mang was a little puzzled.

"General, the gate of Daliang City has been washed away, and water has poured into Daliang City!!!"

At this time, Yu Feng hurriedly came to the camp, and reported to Bai Yan with a happy face.

The city gate was broken open, which meant that the river would pour into Daliang City several times. This was thanks to some water-savvy soldiers who not only said that they could use giant trees to rush along the current, but were also willing to go into the water and support the giant trees to hit the beams. city ​​gate.

The Daliang City Gate, which had been washed away by the flood for a day, had been soaked in the water for a long time, and the torrent outside the gate was full of sand and sand. In less than half an hour, after several rapid impacts, the Daliang City Gate was directly smashed open by the giant wood.

"Meng, tell Shicheng the news!"

Bai Yan was not too surprised when he heard Yu Feng's words, and turned around to give instructions to Mang.

Seeing Mang bowing his hands to accept the order, and turning to leave, Bai Yan stood up and looked at Yu Feng.

"Send people to the Candle River and the chasm quickly, tell the soldiers who stay there, and order people to start filling up the water outlet, at least to reduce the water flow by more than half!"

Bai Yan ordered.

Yu Feng was filled with joy when he saw the gate of Daliang City being broken open, and watched the rolling river flow into Daliang City, but now he suddenly heard Bai Yan's order to close the gap, and his face suddenly became astonished.

"No! But General! The city gate of Wei State was finally opened, and now we just need to wait here, and Wei State will be destroyed without attack. Why did the General order the canal to be closed at this time?"

Yu Feng first handed over the order, then thought about it, and still couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's going to rain! Let the river flow into Daliang City, and let the food and supplies of Wei State in the city be lost. This time we are here to destroy Wei State, not to destroy Wei people! There is no need to drown the people in Daliang City! "

Bai Yan said.

As Bai Yan's voice fell, the sky just flashed the sound of thunder. It turned out that when Bai Yan was leaving in a hurry, he noticed that the wind direction and the sky had begun to change.

"promise!"

When Yu Feng heard Bai Yan's words, he was taken aback for a moment, looked at Bai Yan, then bowed his head with his hands folded, and turned to leave after the salute.

inside the tent.

Bai Yan looked at the map and looked at Taoyi in the past of Daliang. From ancient times to the present, when mentioning Taoyi, almost everyone in the world has a sentence in their minds: The princes are connected in all directions, and the wealth of the world is gathered!

Behind this sentence is Taoyi's most convenient location and environment. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Taoyi can be connected to Qin and Jin Dynasties in the west, Wu and Yue in the south, and Qiyan in the east.

This also led to this fertile land. Even the kings of the various countries were greedy for this territory. More than 50 years ago, the countries conquered Qi, Qin obtained Taoyi, Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran obtained it as a fief, and later Lord Xinling stole it. Fu rescued Zhao, and King Anli of Wei took the opportunity to capture Taoyi.

"Tao Yi!"

Bai Yan looked at Taoyi, and there were no less than dozens of large and small cities and towns near Taoyi.

Further to the east is the border between Qi and Chu, and the borders of Qi and Chu are all on the map.

When he saw where, Bai Yan stretched out his hand on the map, followed the borders of Wei State and Qi State, pointed to those locations, thinking about Qi State, Chu State, the next move, and once they send troops, attack Chu State Land, what situation will be faced.

Soon.

There was a rustling sound from the camp tent, it was very small at first, but within a few breaths, it became louder and louder.

The camp tent was opened at this time, and the figure of Shi Cheng hurried into the tent.

"General Bai Yan, please ask the general to immediately order someone to block the gap between the gap and the Candle River. The heavy rain is falling. If the gap is not blocked, there will be countless casualties in Daliang City in a few days! It's a way out!"

Shicheng weeping, came to the tent, bowed his hands to Bai Yan eagerly, and begged.

Compared with the previous attitude, with the flood of Zhuhe and Honggou to Daliang City, Shicheng no longer looks like the prime minister of that country. At this time, Shicheng not only looks dazed and haggard, but also behaves more like a elder.

Bai Yan turned around and looked at Shicheng.

"Don't worry about the corpse, Bai Yan has ordered people to fill in the gap!"

Bai Yan said.

Shi Cheng was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's words, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Bai Yan at this time, he felt a little rejoiced that it was Bai Yan.

Shi Cheng also knew that if he were someone else, he might not consider the people in Daliang City. During this period, Linzi of Qi State was massacred by Jin State.

Now that Bai Yan can think about the people in Daliang City, Shicheng can finally feel at ease.

"Shicheng, thank you General Bai!"

Shi Cheng raised his hand and saluted Bai Yan gratefully.

"Corpse, sit down!"

Bai Yan didn't care about Shicheng's gratitude, but gave Mang a look, asking Mang to bring some food, and then made a gesture to Shicheng, inviting Shicheng to take a seat.

Shi Cheng was stunned, glanced at Bai Yan, finally thought of Bai Yan's words, and the current situation of Daliang, sighed helplessly, and walked to the seat and knelt down step by step.

"General Bai doesn't hate me?"

On the wrinkled old face of the corpse, the eyes showed guilt, looking at Bai Yan who was walking.

Thinking of the appearance of Bai Yan's closest relative uncle that day, Shi Cheng knew that if he hadn't helped him privately, Bai Yan's uncle would not have ended up like this. , must resent him very much.

"It's all because of my uncle's greed. If my uncle didn't covet his reputation and wanted to grab credit, he wouldn't go to Daliang privately even if he had a corpse seal and a letter."

Bai Yan took down a roll of bamboo slips from the wooden stand, held them in his hands, and then slowly came across the wooden table in the corpse and knelt down.

"But he is still a member of your blood relatives!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Shicheng still shook his head, not believing it very much.

After all, in Shi Cheng's eyes, since he is a member of the clan, he is related by blood. How could Bai Yan not have any resentment in his heart for making his uncle look like this.

"The corpse is not the king of Wei. Compared with anyone else, the corpse does not want to see the king of Wei do such a thing."

Bai Yan explained.

Bai Yan put the bamboo slips on the wooden table after seeing the dead body that fell silent again when King Wei was mentioned.

"Bai Yan dares to ask the corpse, how many places can store grain in Daliang City? Now that the water is flooding Daliang City, can the corpse tell Bai Yan how long the grain in Daliang City can last? And Bai Yan heard, Wei Qiu, who guards the city gate, is a member of the dead family!"

Bai Yan looked at the corpse city opposite the wooden table.

"What does General Bai mean?"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Shicheng's dazed eyes came back to his senses, and he quietly raised his eyes to look at Bai Yan, he didn't understand what Bai Yan meant.

Wei Qiu was indeed the one supported by the dead family.

"Right now, in Daliang City, the more food is stored, the more people will die! The defeat of the Wei Kingdom has been decided, and Bai Yan wants to ask the corpse minister to help Bai Yan and burn the stored food in the city."

Bai Yan said bluntly.

Inside the tent, there was the sound of heavy rain falling on the tent everywhere, so much so that Shicheng doubted his ears.

Bai Yan actually wanted him to help the State of Qin and burn down the food and grass preserved in Daliang City. One must know that his corpse was from Wei, or the prime minister of the State of Wei!

"Shushicheng can't follow orders!"

Shicheng shook his head, rejecting Bai Yan.

"The corpse is placed in the girders and ignored, and it has already owed the king's favor. If the corpse's family helps the Qin State and burns the grain and millet in the city, it will be a rebellion against Wei. Not to mention that it has owed the king's kindness, it is the noble family of the Wei state, and the scholars of the world , all will be ashamed of the corpse!"

While Shicheng was talking, he looked at Bai Yan with firm eyes, because he felt ashamed, not to mention that Bai Yan is the disciple of his best friend Tian Jin, even if Bai Yan can take care of the people of Wei State, it is enough for Shicheng to agree. Bai Yan has many things.

However, Shicheng absolutely cannot agree to help Qin State burn down the grain and millet in Daliang City.

The dead family must not be able to oppose the Wei people, and lose the support of the Wei family and scholars.

"I hope General Bai will find another plan!"

Shi Cheng raised his hand and said to Bai Yan.

Looking at the scroll of bamboo slips on the wooden table in front of Bai Yan, it seemed that there were handwriting inside, Shi Cheng was very curious, and from Shi Cheng's experience, it was natural to see that Bai Yan probably wanted to show him the scroll of bamboo slips Yes, but for some reason, it has not been given to him.

"The corpse's words are wrong! Burning food and grass, how can you say it is shameless!"

Bai Yan looked at Shicheng and shook his head in refusal, and couldn't help chuckling.

"General Bai has something to say, please speak up!"

Shi Cheng saw Bai Yan's appearance, frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal.

Bai Yan looked at Shicheng without thinking.

"If you dare to ask the corpse, who does the corpse think will lose the most when the water enters Daliang City? The common people?"

When Bai Yan said this, he shook his head with a smile, and before Shicheng could speak, he raised a hand and pointed outside.

"The people's dwellings are nothing more than a shabby house and a couple. All they have in the house is nothing more than coarse clothes and old mattresses. Even the people's food is nothing more than vegetables and grains. When the flood comes, the people have nowhere to go, but as long as they survive, they will never be able to eat. The people will be able to endure hunger silently."

Bai Yan paused when he said this, then looked at Shicheng with a smile and asked back.

"But the officials of the gentry in the city, those children of the gentry who have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, and the female family members of the minister of Wei, can they do it? Seeing that the boxes of money they have accumulated with great difficulty have nowhere to hide, and seeing that countless money was spent in exchange for The exquisite wood and beautiful jade sank to the bottom of the water, watching the luxurious meat feasts in the past turned into millet, hiding in high-rise buildings every day and night, but not being able to walk down, even going to the toilet, can they bear it?"

Bai Yan's words stunned Shicheng. After witnessing the flooding of Daliang City and Wei Wang's stupid actions, Shicheng was already in despair. Since yesterday, he has been in a daze and never thought about it. matter.

Before Shicheng could react, Bai Yan's voice sounded again, and Shicheng immediately looked at Bai Yan.

"The King of Wei pretends to love dogs but not people. The civil and military officials of Wei State can be seen by all. If you dare to ask about the corpse, those Wei State officials are willing to follow such a king? In Bai Yan's eyes, the civil and military officials of Wei State Officials, like corpses, have concerns, unwilling to betray Wei, unwilling to become traitors, but different from corpses, they all need a reason, an excuse, so that they can "persuade" them logically The king of Wei descended to Qin."

When Bai Yan said this, he heard the heavy rain outside getting heavier and heavier, and occasionally thunder could be heard.

"The corpse doesn't need to arrange for Wei Qiu to burn the grain, it only needs a letter to ask the corpse family in Daliang City to meet with the civil and military officials. No one will know who set the grain on fire. No one in the world will know."

Bai Yan looked towards Shicheng.

"Bai Yan has always admired the appearance of the corpse. Don't let the appearance of the corpse make Bai Yan feel that the only one outside the city is Bai Yan, who is from Wei!"

When Bai Yan said this, he didn't continue to speak, the words had come to this point, the rest was up to Shicheng to decide.

"You don't have to provoke me!"

After listening to Bai Yan's words, Shi Cheng looked at Bai Yan with complicated eyes, hesitantly, and then asked instead of replying to Bai Yan in a hurry.

"Tian Jin can't teach someone who is so good at perceiving people's hearts!"

Shi Cheng said, the words seemed to be boasting, scolding, or asking, and more, it reminded Tian Jin of being framed and died.

When Bai Yan heard Shicheng's words, he also thought of Duke Jin.

"If the teacher is still alive, I won't believe it. The corpse will agree to make Wei false and succeed him as king."

Bai Yan laughed like a joke and said,

Shicheng looked at Bai Yan with a resentful face when he heard the words, and sighed helplessly. He couldn't withstand the persuasion of his colleagues and family friends, and agreed to let Wei Jia succeed as king. This is the thing Shicheng regrets most in his life. decision.

"General Bai is from Qi, so why don't you want to go back to Qi? As long as General Bai gives the order, Qin's army will be able to withdraw in an instant, and Liang has no worries. According to General Bai's ability to lead troops, the King of Qi won't reuse him. With Tian Ding here, I hereby guarantee that as long as General Bai Yan withdraws his troops and returns to Qi State, our State of Wei is willing to give the general several times the fiefdom of Luoyin, and the King of Qi and Tian Ding will support the general to become the Great General of Qi State!"

Shicheng looked at Bai Yan.

After knowing that Bai Yan is from Qi, Shicheng has been looking for an opportunity to have a good conversation with Bai Yan, but first Bai Yan felt resentful and didn't want to see him, and then encountered Wei Wang who humiliated Bai Yan's relatives in such a way , coupled with flooded girders.

The desperate Shicheng has never had the chance to be alone with Bai Yan.

"General Bai Yan, if you mind what King Wei did before, Shicheng promises that King Wei will personally apologize!"

Shi Cheng looked at Bai Yan and shook his head, thinking that Bai Yan might have something to do with his uncle before, he hesitated for a while, but still made up his mind and said, compared with King Wei, Shi Cheng now hopes that Bai Yan can withdraw his troops and return to Qi State to serve King Qi .

Looking at the young Bai Yan who is also from Qi, Shicheng knows how high his prestige is in the army of the Qin State, and the iron cavalry and side cavalry under his command are all loyal.

"To tell you the truth about the corpse, Bai Yan was kicked out of Qi State by Tian Ding back then!"

When Bai Yan heard Shicheng's words, he gave a wry smile and glanced at Shicheng.

"what?"

When Shicheng heard Bai Yan's words, he suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, or that he didn't understand what Bai Yan meant.

Seeing this, Bai Yan could only take a deep breath. After sighing, his eyes were full of seriousness, and he looked straight at the corpse.

"In the past, Bai Yan left Qi State because he was forced by Tian Ding. Tian Ding personally ordered people to drive Bai Yan out of Qi State!"

Bai Yan said again.

As Bai Yan's words fell, Shi Cheng's old eyes widened immediately, he stood up and looked directly at Bai Yan.

"impossible!!!"

Shi Cheng opened his mouth and said.

"This is absolutely impossible! Tian Ding is a member of the Qi royal family, and he is the pillar of the Qi country. If you talk about other people, the old man may still believe it. Only Tian Ding, the old man has known how much talent Tian Ding has cultivated for the Qi country in the past ten years. Tian Ding is definitely not the kind of person who is jealous of talented people who serve Qi State!"

Shi Cheng's eyes were full of shock, and he spoke in a hasty tone, every word was powerful, and he didn't believe it at all, thinking that a person like Bai Yan would be driven away by Tian Ding's order.

Seeing Shicheng's disbelief, Bai Yan remembered that Tian Ding threatened him with his family back then, just to prevent him from returning to Qi.

"Brother Shiyan went back to Daliang, and he has never returned so far. Even knowing that Bai Yan's uncle was humiliated by the king of Wei, Bai Yan will order someone to dig the canal when he learns. If so, brother Shiyan will not go out of the city to stop it. The reason is that Brother Shiyan is no longer in Daliang City! Therefore, why should Bai Yan lie to the corpse!"

Bai Yan sighed, and said to Shicheng.

While speaking, he picked up the bamboo slips in front of him, and gently placed them in front of Shicheng, signaling to Shicheng to take a look. This scroll of bamboo slips is Old Wei's bamboo slips. When Bai Yan talked with Zuo Chengxiang last night, he already knew Ying Zheng asked Mr. Changping to come to Daliang to deal with the aftermath.

Therefore, there is no need to resettle the people of the state of Wei in Shicheng. It is estimated that seeing Wei Lao's bamboo slips, Shicheng will immediately go north.

And after what happened to his uncle, Bai Yan will not give Shicheng too much freedom, at least Bai Yan will not take it lightly when he sees Wei Laoqian again, not to mention that Yang Yan has helped him share many military affairs, Shicheng will not Another chance to tell others about it.

Behind the wooden table.

Shi Cheng was stunned, he didn't believe that it was Tian Ding who drove Bai Yan out of Qi, but looking at Bai Yan's appearance, it didn't seem like a fake.

Could it be that Tian Ding really drove Bai Yan out of Qi country!

Shicheng thought of Tian Ding whom he had met when the first king died of illness, recalled Tian Ding's words and deeds, and what he knew about Tian Ding in the past. It was hard for Shicheng to believe that Bai Yan was really kicked out of Qi by Tian Ding.

With doubts, Shicheng didn't rush to find out the truth of Bai Yan's words, but looked at Bai Yan suspiciously, then picked up the bamboo slips on the wooden table, and opened them to read.

Afterwards, watching and watching, Shi Cheng, who had been shocked just once, stood there again with a dazed expression, his eyes full of disbelief.

Wei Zhe! ! !

He was so familiar with Wei Zhe's corpse that he couldn't be more familiar with it. In the world, there are not many people who can make him feel inferior to him as Wei Xiang. This Wei Zhe, who is famous all over the world, is one of them.

Thinking back to Qi, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and even Chu and Qin, how many kings wanted Wei Zhe to be their important minister, how many famous families in the world wanted Wei Zhe to be a guest, but in the end Wei Zhe still It is only a disciple who chooses to travel the world, wandering clouds and wild cranes, and looking for the world, and he can pass on what he has learned all his life.

So much so that in the past few years, there has been little news of Wei Zhe in Shicheng.

"How did you know Wei Zhe?"

Seeing Wei Zhe's letter suddenly, Shi Cheng was not only surprised, but also very puzzled, why Wei Zhe would write to Bai Yan, and the tone of the instructions in the letter did not seem to be at all unfamiliar, and even seemed to be It's still very familiar, which makes Shicheng look at Bai Yan involuntarily.

Then, under Shicheng's suspicious gaze, Bai Yan raised his hands and replied.

"Old Wei, he is my teacher!"

The tent was full of thunderstorms, and the sound of swishing and swishing kept ringing. The wet Mang just brought food into the tent, and saw Shi Cheng standing behind the table with a dull face, looking at the general with his eyes, holding the food in his hands. The bamboo slip fell from his hand to the ground without any response.

"General, this is the mutton that has always been prepared in the army!"

Mang looked at the meat in the wooden tray in his hand, then looked at Bai Yan, and said.
