Chapter XVI. comet

It has been nearly half a month since the big battle, and Liu Wei is lying on the bed recuperating at the moment, but his heart is very chaotic.

Although in the end, he was only fined a hundred military sticks, and his official position was also reduced by three levels, but he didn't take these to heart, but what he didn't want to do was that Bai Lang had to go to Luoyang to stay. Liu Wei has followed Bai Lang for many years, how could he not know what King Qin's move meant? Bai Lang held the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin State in Xianyang, and once he arrived in Luoyang, the military power would inevitably be transferred to the hands of the King of Qin. It seems that King Qin is still quite wary of General Bai!

Just when he was annoyed, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and when he was about to reprimand the servant for coming in without reporting, he looked up and saw that he was so frightened that he immediately got out of bed and knelt down.

Because the person who came was the general Bai who he had been thinking about for a long time.

Bai Lang stepped forward to stop Liu Wei's move to get out of bed, and said softly: "If you are injured, you don't have to get out of bed to salute." ”

Liu Wei nodded gratefully, and then said guiltily: "It's all because the last general is not good to go out, and General Bai has to go to Luoyang." ”

Bai Lang shook his head indifferently, "It's okay, the news of frequent changes in Luoyang is true, I originally intended to go back to Luoyang for a while, one is to slightly reduce the suspicion of the lord, and the other is to be wary of the actions of the princes." ”

Liu Wei was stunned, and then spoke: "I thought this was just an excuse for the general to avoid suspicion." ”

"Don't talk about this, tell me about your battle with the Zhongshan Army in Shoucheng this time, don't miss a single detail."

Liu Wei then began to elaborate on what happened that night, from the opening of the north gate, to the news of the escape of 6,000 cavalry from the south gate, then to the ambush after entering the city, and finally to finally escape from the city but were attacked from front and back.

Bai Lang listened carefully to Liu Wei's story, and his eyes gradually became solemn, "Do you remember what I often say to you?" ”

Liu Wei's heart trembled, and he replied ashamedly: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." ”

"You know that there is an ambush in the city, but you rely on your bravery, otherwise you will not suffer such a great defeat." Bai Lang said in a deep voice, but he also sighed in his heart.

The person who can come up with such a plan is by no means an ordinary person, even Bai Lang couldn't help but sigh after listening to the complete story and thinking about the layout of the whole article when he looked back and thought about it.

He asked himself if he was in such a situation, although he had a strategy to destroy the enemy, but according to his habit, he would not take such a risky move.

"Have you ever found out who is planning for Uncle Zhongshan?" Bai Lang asked.

Liu Wei's face was even more ashamed, and he said: "I only heard that it is a young man in his early twenties named Chen Ziyou, but I haven't found any details about this person, I only heard that he claims to be from the Yanqi area, but there is no way to know where he lives and where he is told." ”

Bai Lang frowned, and after being silent for a long time, he glanced at Liu Wei's self-blaming look on the bed, sighed and said softly: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, you don't take this battle too seriously, sometimes failure is a good thing, as long as it doesn't hinder the overall situation." ”

Liu Wei nodded gratefully, and then spoke: "The sin general heard that General Bai will get up and go to Luoyang in a month, and I hope that the general will go to Dai Sin to make meritorious service regardless of his previous suspicions!" ”

After listening to Liu Wei's request, Bai Lang thought for a while and said: "When I go to Luoyang, I don't need you to accompany me, you stay in Xianyang, pay attention to the changes in the country and the DPRK at any time, and I want to make sure that there are still people who can be trusted in Xianyang City." ”

Liu Wei nodded helplessly.

"Okay, you take care of your injuries, I'm still fine." Bai Lang got up and said.

"Sin will be wounded, and I will not be able to get up and send it away." Liu Wei said respectfully.

Bai Lang, who left Liu Wei's mansion, did not go home, but walked around the street several times and arrived at a small alley.

He raised his hand and tapped lightly on the door of a house in the alley.

A young man who looked like a scholar opened the door, saw the appearance of the visitor, and said respectfully: "My master has been waiting for the general for a long time. ”

The furnishings in the house are simple and simple, if outsiders see it, they will wonder why the dignified Wu Anjun Bai Lang would come to such a place.

On the main seat in the room was sitting a black-robed young man, who gently waved an ink-colored feather fan and looked at Bai Lang with interest.

"Isn't this General Bai, a rare guest!" The black-robed young man rhythmically waved the feather fan in his hand, took a sip of tea gently, and said with a smile, "But this is the second time that General Bai has visited in the past few months, and it will not be a rare guest if he comes a few more times, I am very welcome to General Bai, but I am worried that King Qin will be suspicious if he knows why the two of them come and go so frequently." ”

Bai Lang impatiently found a place to sit down, took a sip of tea and said, "You and I know the roots, so you don't need to wave your broken fan here to be profound." Do you really think that a fan with a handle is Zhuge Wuhou? ”

The black-robed young man laughed and said, "I'm used to it, General Bai knows, this feather fan is the one who stunned the king in the palace." ”

If someone else was here, hearing that this black-robed young man dared to talk about King Qin so casually, they would think that this was a madman, but only Bai Lang knew that what this black-robed young man said was true.

"Without further ado, you already know exactly what I'm doing with you, right?" Bai Lang turned out to be cold in front of the people, and there was a slight anger on his face.

The black-robed young man snorted and said, "General Bai still has a grudge against that incident?" ”

Bai Lang got up from his seat abruptly and looked at the black-robed young man coldly: "I warned you a long time ago, you can play with your tricks, but don't stretch your hand to me." Zhuge Mirror, don't think that we are the same kind of people, I won't kill you! ”

This young man known as Zhuge Jing also became serious: "The plan of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is that I offer a plan to the King of Qin, and I suggest to the King of Qin to send you to Luoyang to use your prestige to deter the princes, otherwise why do you think King Qin's soldiers have not gathered for a long time?" ”

Bai Lang said coldly: "Without your poisonous schemes, I can still sweep the princes by force." ”

Zhuge Jing snorted coldly and didn't say a word, and for a while, both of them fell into silence.

After half an hour like this, Zhuge Jing finally sighed helplessly and said, "Don't talk about this, I know what you want to ask when you come here." ”

Bai Lang's face was still gloomy and he didn't say a word.

"Remember the last time you visited, you and I accidentally mentioned the comet?" Zhuge Jing didn't care about Bai Lang's snubbing, and said to himself.

Bai Lang's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhuge Jing nodded, and said softly: "Combined with the time of the comet's appearance and the time of this Chen Ziyou's appearance, it is a perfect coincidence!" I'm 70% sure of that. ”

"According to what you say, now counting you and me, as well as the person who has almost certainly risen rapidly in Zhao State in recent years to vigorously promote Hufu cavalry shooting, and Chen Ziyou who appeared this time, then there are four people." Bai Lang said solemnly.

Zhuge Jing waved the feather fan in his hand and said: "It's not a bad thing for you to go to Luoyang this time, if you stay a little longer, King Qin's suspicion is afraid that it will be heavier, and the movement of the princes is not small, I got the definite news from the Qi side, Yan Hou has agreed to the request of the prince of Qi to join forces with King Qin, and the prince of Qi is now working hard to persuade Zhao and Chu to persuade him to pull any prince, Luoyang is indeed in danger, and only if you go to Luoyang can you resist the coalition of princes." ”

"You're praising me." Bai Lang glared at Zhuge Jing fiercely, "I will get up and go to Luoyang in a month, and you will give me a little bit of peace in Xianyang during the days I leave." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhuge Jing smiled flatteringly, "I have always been very obedient to General Bai's words!" ”

Bai Lang drank all the tea in the cup, got up and left. Ignoring the flattering black-robed young man behind him, he shouted and said some nonsense such as walking slowly, welcome to come again next time, and have a good journey.
