Because he was going to the Qin-Zhao border, and he was also meeting with General Wang Qian.

Therefore, Bai Yan led the army, and he needed to travel twenty miles south, along the Yan River in the mountain range to the southeast, and only after a four-day journey could he leave the county from the mouth of the river.

After leaving Shangjun, there is the Shangdang area.

At that time, the Qin State was in Shangdang, and because of the territory of the Shangdang region, it fought with the Zhao State in the Changping area, and each injured hundreds of thousands of horses.

In the end, King Zhaoxiang of Qin used Bai Qi as the main general and achieved an unprecedented victory for the Qin State.

It's a pity that after the First Battle of Changping, King Qin Zhaoxiang listened to Fan Sui's words and did not destroy Zhao.

In the Qin State, countless Qin people have sighed that if King Qin Zhaoxiang had destroyed Zhao at the beginning, maybe there would not have been so many people in the Qin State who died in the hands of Li Mu.

However, this has been controversial to this day.

Because many people, together with many ministers of the Qin State, talked about this matter, they all said that the Qin State was also seriously injured at that time, and it needed to rest and recuperate, and it was also necessary to guard against other vassal states.

Whenever Bai Yan hears others arguing.

Bai Yan didn't know the specific situation at that time, but Bai Yan never believed in this view.

Because Bai Qi, who has never been defeated in his life, can say the words of destroying Zhao in person, then Bai Qi must be sure to destroy Zhao, and he also takes into account other vassal states.

Later, Bai Qi refused to lead the troops to destroy Zhao, which also proved this.

After all, if he is not sure, Bai Qi will not rush to send troops!

As a general, if you are not sure, how can you kill the army, let alone the white rise of Rong Ma's life.

In addition, another point is that nine months after the first battle of Changping, King Qin Zhaoxiang ordered again to send troops to destroy Zhao.

The First World War of Qin and Zhao took three years, hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, and nine months, for the Qin State, there was nothing to recover at all, but it was a chance for Zhao and other vassal states to react and prepare.

Therefore, the reason why King Qin Zhaoxiang ordered the destruction of Zhao is most likely that King Qin Zhaoxiang has woken up and understood, knowing that Qin was once capable of destroying Zhao, and has begun to regret that he did not destroy Zhao before, and wants to redeem the lost opportunity.

The rest of the world knows.

King Qin Zhaoxiang sent troops again because of regret, but he could not conquer Handan, but instead achieved Xinlingjun and made Xinlingjun famous all over the world.

In that battle, the Qin State was defeated and retreated, and the Shangdang that had been captured also lost many cities.

It wasn't until more than ten years later that the Qin State recovered its vitality and sent the general Meng Biao to lead the Qin army to recapture the city, but he was defeated by Xinlingjun again, and Xinlingjun also led the allied forces of the countries to fight all the way to Hangu Pass.

A few days later.

Bai Yan led his iron cavalry, bypassing one mountain range, passing through Lancheng, Gaowolf, and Lishi in the mountains, and then followed the ancient road out of the mountains and rivers to Qicheng on the border of Qin and Zhao.

After arriving in Qicheng.

Bai Yan rode a war horse, and saw countless army camps from afar, Anza on the plains, their number was the same, dense, stretching to the entire wilderness, compared to the number when Han was destroyed, only a lot more.

At this moment, behind Bai Yan, a famous iron cavalry soldier rode a war horse equipped with stirrups and horseshoe nails, holding a long ge, Qinzi black flag, and looked at the front with solemn eyes.

Under the scorching sun.

The iron cavalry army with no end in sight, coupled with countless Changge and Qin flags, looks particularly imposing.

Bai Yan reined in the war horse and raised his hand to signal to stop.

In an instant.

All the iron cavalry generals and iron cavalry soldiers behind Bai Yan all restrained their war horses.

"Zuo Shuchang! General Wang Jian has already set up a camp in the north for the Iron Cavalry Army! ”

With the sound of horses' hooves, three cavalrymen who rode from the direction of Qicheng came to Bai Yan and said with their hands.

These three people were Wang Qian's cronies, and they had been waiting for Bai Yan's arrival after receiving the imminent arrival of the Iron Cavalry Army.

Bai Yan nodded.

Turned his head to look at Xi Yuan, Yan Mao and other iron cavalry generals.

"Lead the soldiers to rest!"

Bai Yan ordered.

After more than ten days of rushing along the way, coupled with the scorching sun, the iron cavalry army was also tired, but fortunately, General Wang Jian also received the news that in order to conceal, he had ordered people to prepare the camp in advance.

At present, the soldiers need to rest, and Bai Yan also needs to go to Wang Qian's place.

After all, this time Bai Yan is Wang Qian's deputy general.

"No!"

"No!!"

Yan Mao, Xi Yuan and the others gave orders to Bai Yan, and then followed the horseback soldiers who had just come over and rushed in another direction.

I watched a famous and countless iron cavalry soldiers pass by in rows of horses in front of me.

Wang Qian's three cronies looked at this army of iron cavalry with shock.

They had never seen such a well-equipped army of iron horsemen!

Those small iron tools for people to step on, as cavalrymen, they could see the effect of that thing at first glance.

And the hooves of the horses seemed to have pieces of iron, and they didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if the hooves of the horses loaded with iron plates stepped on the enemy's body.

Come to think of it.

The three of them glanced at each other, and finally understood why this iron cavalry dared to fight to the death with the Yue clan and the Huns.

With this equipment, how could those nomads in the north compare to this iron horse.

"Take me to General Wang Qian!"

Bai Yan's words brought several heralds back to their senses, and their eyes finally looked at Bai Yan from those iron cavalry soldiers.

"No!"

The cronies at the head hurriedly surrendered their hands.

A moment later.

Three of Wang Yan's cronies took Bai Yan to a mansion in Qicheng City.

In front of the mansion, Bai Yan turned over and dismounted, and after handing over the war horse to the industry, he followed the three cronies directly into the mansion.

When Bai Yan came to the study, he saw Wang Jian who had a relationship with each other, and beside Wang Qian, all the generals of the Qin State were already standing in front of the map, discussing the timing of the attack.

"General Bai Yan!"

Wang Jian saw Bai Yan's arrival and stopped talking.

When Wang Jian first met Bai Yan in Xianyang, he heard that Wang Shang had appointed Bai Yan as his deputy general.

At that time, Wang Jian thought that he was very puzzled, he had just experienced the battle of Gao Nu, and no matter how much the king valued the bravery of the young man, and then he valued the iron cavalry army, he should also consider resting.

After all, there are other iron cavalry armies in the Qin State.

Until one day later, Wei Yu took Wang Jian to see the stirrups, and informed the king that he had ordered all the blacksmiths in Xianyang and Wancheng to equip Bai Yan's iron cavalry with stirrups that were more convenient for combat.

Only then did Wang Jian understand that in this battle, if he wanted to defeat Li Mu, the biggest chance might be the iron cavalry army led by Bai Yan right now.

Li Mu is too powerful, simply arranging troops, no one is sure that he can defeat Li Mu.

"Bai Yan has seen General Wang Qian!"

In the study, Bai Yan looked at Wang Jian and the others looking at him, and hurriedly bowed.

At this moment, in the study, in addition to Wang Qian, there are seven generals and ten doctors.

Previously, these generals had been stationed in Beidi, the Lishan camp, and the Qin-Zhao border.

"Don't be polite!"

Wang Jian nodded.

"Bai Yan!"

Hearing Wang Qian's words, Bai Yan turned to these generals' fellow generals and saluted.

Wang Jian said that he didn't have to be polite, he was referring to Wang Qian, but not these generals.

For Bai Yan, if he wants to attack Zhao with these generals in the future, he naturally wants to get to know each other.

"Uncle Meng!"

Among the seven generals, the oldest than the other generals was Uncle Meng, the cousin of the general Meng Wu of the Qin State.

Uncle Meng's father is Meng Jia, the concubine of the current Qin State.

It is said that Meng Jia came to Qin because of the recommendation of his brother Meng Jia.

Later, Meng Fu became the pillar of the Qin State, and Meng Jia was also deeply valued by the Qin State.

It is precisely because of this that Montessori's status in the Qin State is only a handful.

"Wang Ben!"

Younger than Uncle Meng is Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian.

Previously, Wang Ben had been leading troops with Wang Qian, although he was not in the court, but for the Qin State, no one dared to ignore this general.

"Yang Yan"

Yang Yan, a member of the Yang family, the eldest son of the general Yang Duanhe, is about thirty-five years old.

Speaking of which, Yang Yan is also Yang Xian's own nephew.

Bai Yan looked at Yang Yan's eyes, and there didn't seem to be any hostility.

"Feng Zheng!"

Feng Zheng, Feng Quji's eldest son.

Accompanying the room, a famous general introduced it clearly, and then there were five doctors.

When everybody knows each other.

Bai Yan looked at the generals and the five doctors at this moment, and immediately realized a thought in his mind, all of them were scholars!!

However, Bai Yan also knew that in the eyes of these people, he was also a scholar.

Inside the study.

After Wang Jian watched Bai Yan greet everyone, he continued to look at the map and talk about the route of the march.

Where is Zhao Guo at the moment, there is no news of Li Mu yet.

In this case, leading a large army into the Zhao State must not be taken lightly, no one knows when, it will be suddenly surrounded by Li Mu.

"On this trip, we must take the Yanhe, from the Yanhe to the well, this road has few cities, straight to the other side of the mountains and rivers, as long as we capture the Yanhe, we can avoid Handan sending troops to raid the grain and grass of our Qin army, as well as the north to help."

Wang Jian pointed to the map, a place of harmony, and said to the generals.

Bai Yan looked at the map and Wang Jian at the same time, analyzing the entire situation.

For this place of harmony, Bai Yan has also heard of it.

Because of the land of Yanhe, there was a famous war, the battle of Yanhe.

For a long time, there are only two ways for Jinyang to go to Handan, and these two roads have to pass through Yanhe, as long as they win Yanhe, they can block Jinyang's rush to Handan and cut the battlefield of Zhao into two.

Therefore, a long time ago, the Qin State had plotted against him.

In that battle, the Qin State planned for a long time, and then the king of Qin Zhaoxiang seized the opportunity to send Hu Yang to lead an army to attack Zhao on the grounds that Zhao did not fulfill the contract to exchange cities.

Zhao Guo was caught off guard, and Lian Po shook his head helplessly at that time, feeling that it was difficult to defeat Qin, but he didn't want Zhao Guo and Zhao Hao to stand up.

Zhao Hao, who was familiar with military books, killed the 100,000 Qin troops led by Hu Yang in this battle.

When I first visited the Hu family, Hu Quan also mentioned this matter after drinking, and bluntly said that the war between the Hu family and the First War has always been a pain in the hearts of the Hu family.

"The old man wants to let Wang Ben and Yang Yan lead an army of 50,000 to go to Yanhe and take it in one fell swoop."

In the study, Wang Jian said slowly, looking at the map: "The army led by Yang Duanhe and the general will arrive in the south of Zhao in a few days, Handan will never dare to send troops to rescue Yan He, Wang Ben and Yang Yan led an army of 50,000 people, through the mountains, and will definitely be able to defeat Yan He." ”

When the words fell, Wang Jian looked at Bai Yan.

The other generals, Uncle Meng, Wang Ben, Yang Yan and others, all looked at the young Bai Yan.

Uncle Meng, Wang Ben and others all know that don't look at Bai Yan is young and his title is not high, but this time, Bai Yan is the deputy general of the army.

Facing everyone's eyes, Bai Yan was also shocked, and then realized that this time he was not as simple as leading the iron cavalry army to destroy Zhao.

He is also the deputy general of the army!

Bai Yan agreed with General Wang Qian's words! However, it is inevitable that the iron cavalry can go another fifty miles and be stationed near Yangyi, and if there is an accident, it can rush to the aid of General Wang Ben and General Yang Yan in the fastest time. ”

Bai Yan nodded, and chose to support General Wang Jian without hesitation, but in the back, Bai Yan chose to give Wang Ben and Yang Yan and choose the backhand.

In fact, Bai Yan also knew that as long as Yang Duanhe arrived in the south of Zhao State, it would be impossible for Handan to send troops to rescue Yan You, but Bai Yan still opened his mouth to suggest.

Although this move seems to have little effect, it is something that should be said at the moment as a deputy general.

The first is to show their conscientiousness, and the second is to let General Wang Ben and General Yang Yan attack Yan with peace of mind.

"Hmm!"

Wang Jian heard Bai Yan's words and nodded.

Although the other generals looked at Bai Yan and didn't say anything, there was still a slight change in their expressions.

Although I had heard of the battle of the high-ranking slaves in Shangjun, I also learned about the praising plan of discord.

But they had never seen Bai Yan in person, and they were still inevitably a little worried in their hearts, for fear that the plan of separation was dedicated to Bai Yan by others, and Bai Yan was just ordering it to be implemented.

Now that they heard Bai Yan's words, they were relieved.

Don't look at a backhand that doesn't use much, but it is this backhand that can at least see that the deputy general Bai Yan is a talented person.

"Wang Ben and Yang Xian, the two of you will lead an army of 50,000 early tomorrow morning to attack Yanhe!"

Wang Jian turned his head to look at Wang Ben and Yang Yan, and opened his mouth to order.

"No!"

"No!!"

Wang Ben and Yang Yan hurriedly surrendered their orders.

Bai Yan stood next to the map, his back was covered with cold sweat, and Wang Qian's words caught him off guard.

More importantly, Bai Yan knows that as a deputy general, it is also the first time he has seen these generals, unless Wang Jian makes a mistake, he can't deliberately find a way to refute Wang Jian because of his talent, but at the same time, he can't say nothing.

He was different from Wang Qian, who had led troops for decades and was well-known in the Qin State, and these generals had fought with Wang Jian and understood Wang Qian's decision on the battlefield.

But he is a deputy general at a young age, and if Fang Cai can't say a word, it will be really embarrassing.

Qi country Linzi.

When Bai Yan arrived in Qicheng, an old man from Linzi of Qi State also took a carriage and quietly left Linzi.

But this carriage did not go to other cities like other carriages.

Instead, an hour or two later, he came to an official road, slowly stopped, and an old man dressed in ordinary cloth came out of the carriage.

If other people saw this scene, they must have thought it was strange, after all, how could an old man in a cloth suit make a carriage.

I saw that the old man ordered Hu Cong and the groom to wait here, and then under the gaze of Hu Cong and the groom, he walked alone towards the distant path, like an ordinary passerby.

The old man didn't know how long he had been walking, and after asking passers-by, he came to a village.

As soon as he entered the village, the old man saw groups of women washing clothes by a small canal, still talking.

"May I ask if this is a water village?"

The old man came up behind the women and asked.

The laundry woman heard the voice, and when she looked back and saw the old man, she looked at each other and nodded.

Then the women looked at the old man with curiosity, and wondered why the old man had come here from such a small village as theirs.

When the old man heard the woman's answer, he looked up at the village in front of him.

"Dare to ask if there is a family here with a son named Yan!"

As the old man spoke, he instinctively remembered to take something from his cuffs, and then remembered that the clothes he was wearing now were cloth clothes, but there were no sleeve pockets.

The old man couldn't help but sigh, and then put his hand into his arms and took out thirty or forty coins.

"I don't know if I can tell the old man something about that Yan."

The old man looked at the women and asked.

And several women had already widened their eyes when they saw the money.

For these women, they are busy all year round, that is, at the time of the autumn harvest, and after paying the taxes, they take out the remaining rice and millet for a year, and exchange some of the rest for money.

But in exchange for the money, you can't buy much at all, and if you want to have money, you have to wait for the next year's harvest.

Now that they see the money, how can these women hold back?

"Mr. Lao, in our village, there is indeed a family, and its son is called Yan, I don't know if the old gentleman is with him?"

A woman put down her laundry, wiped her hands, and looked at the old man curiously.

These women are not stupid, before speaking, at least know what the relationship between this old gentleman and Yan is, if they offend, the gains outweigh the losses.

"It's just an occasional hearing, and it doesn't matter."

The old man said with a smile, and then distributed the money to the women.

But what the old man didn't know was that in his eyes, what he wanted to express was the second sentence in the words, but he never thought that the woman cared more about his first sentence.

In the eyes of these women, they all thought that the old man didn't know where he heard about Yan, so he came to listen to a joke.

"The old gentleman also heard about Nayan? Then I'll talk to the old gentleman, speaking of that family, it's pitiful, the original family of three was good, I never wanted to give birth to a second son, that is the Yan boy, that kid has been weak since he was a child, and his brain is sick, as long as the people in our village know that Yan, and there will be no interest at all in the future."

The women couldn't help but laugh as they spoke.

Speaking of which, no matter when, as long as these two grandfathers and grandchildren are like illnesses, not only them, but also the people in the village, they can't help laughing, after all, the old and the young are like a joke.

The old man listened and nodded slowly.

The old man is the secretary of the Qin State that Bai Yan has seen, Mao Jiao.

Spread out!

In fact, before in the Qin State, after receiving the king's order, he suspected that the Yan in the bamboo slip was Bai Yan.

It wasn't until Fang Cai was asking passers-by that he was sure that he was right, the Bai Yan he had seen was not a child of the Bai family at all, but a teenager born in this village.

sighed that his friend Hu Quan was blinded, but also wondered why the young man became Bai Yan.

Listening to these women's words now, he was even more amazed, he never expected that the young man he saw at the beginning would have such an encounter when he was a child.

Even if he listened, it was enough for him, a person who was over half a hundred years old, to be a little suffocated.

It was precisely like this, he couldn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.

At the beginning, Gao Nu, the young man who risked losing his official position and being condemned, and also wanted to let the people move without authorization, the young man with a kind heart, was actually the young man who had been discriminated against by all the villagers around him since he was a child.

A teenager who grew up in such a place should hate the world the most, why is that young man still so kind?

"Old man, you don't know, fortunately you didn't meet Na Yan's grandmother, the old woman heard that she was sick and went to Linzi!"

A woman thought of Yan's grandmother, looked at the old man and said, "Otherwise, the old woman's eyes are dizzy, and she can't hear people talk about her grandson, and she shouts all day long, there will definitely be a Ming monarch and a wise man who will know her grandson and give her grandson a salute. ”

The other women nodded.

"Yes, yes, I really thought that there would be a king in the world, and I appreciated her grandson, which is really ridiculous! Hahahaha. ”

"That is, a person who is a corpse, although he has some money, can only do the work of burying corpses and burying corpses after all, and when Shi appreciates others, he can only return home."

A woman added with a smile.

But as they spoke, the women found out why the old gentleman in front of them didn't smile.

It's funny!

"There will definitely be a Ming monarch and a virtuous king who will know her grandson and pay homage to her grandson!"

Mao Jiao muttered.

Hearing this, after the scene came to mind, Mao Jiao already understood a lot.

Even Mao Jiao couldn't help but have some redness in his eyes.

"Do you know where the Nayan family lives? And where is the old woman? ”

At this moment, Mao Jiao wanted to see the young man's family with his own eyes and meet the young man's grandmother.

If he could, Mao Jiao wanted to tell the old woman personally.

Her grandson did not disappoint her, and he has been crowned a general!
