Inside the mansion.

When Bai Yan returned to the mansion and talked to Meng Tian and Qiang, he saw Ye coming in a hurry.

"General, there are people outside the mansion who ask to see the general!"

also came to Bai Yan and gave up his hand to report.

Hear the words.

Bai Yan frowned slightly, he had no relatives and no reason here, would anyone want to see him?

"Did you name me?"

Bai Yan asked.

In the pavilion, Meng Tian and Qiang sat behind the other two wooden tables, looking at karma curiously.

Later, under the gaze of Meng Tian and Qiang, he also reported to Bai Yan.

"That person said it was Xun Shuo!"

The words of karma made Meng Tian and Qiang look at each other.

Xun!

This surname is not an ordinary surname, and now in the thatched cottage of the Qin State, the mentor of Master Li Si Li of Tingwei is Xun's Xunzi, and the world calls him Xunzi.

Now this Xun disciple is coming to find Bai Yan?

This is somewhat unusual.

"Xun Shuo?"

On the other side, when Bai Yan heard Xun's, there was also a surprised expression in his eyes, and then nodded.

Now in this world, if you want to walk the world, if you are not a general of a country, or like Su Qin, in fact, many times, the official is not as good as the surname.

Your last name often determines whether people will look at you and talk to you.

A surname, even if you are poor, as long as the blood is there, its status and respect may be above a rich businessman.

Just like this Xun family, although he has never met, even Bai Yan does not dare to be careless at this moment, if this Xun family is really related to Xunzi, then don't say that he is the head of the left family, it is the king of Qin, and he must be strict for three points.

At the beginning, Xunzi served as the sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace three times, and his disciples were innumerable, all over the world.

Among them, there are several people who are the most famous, and there are several people in Bai Yan's memory:

Two sons: Han Feizi and Gongsun Nizi.

Two families: poet Mao Heng, thinker and diplomat Lu Jia.

Two phases: Qin Xiang Li Si, Han Xiang Zhang Cang.

Two Emperor Divisions: Chu Yuan Wang Shi Fu Qiu Bo, Han Xiaocheng Emperor Chen Huan.

These are all Xunzi's protégés.

In this extremely important world of the scholar clan, not to mention other protégés, the connections and energy represented behind these people alone are enough to make anyone jealous.

Therefore, Bai Yan didn't understand why someone from the Xun family would come to him.

Inside the gazebo.

Bai Yan bowed his hand to Meng Tian and Qiang, signaling that he had something to leave and could not accompany him.

Meng Tian and Qiang Qi are both straightforward people, so they naturally don't mind and return the courtesy.

A moment later.

Bai Yan followed Ye all the way to the outside of the mansion, and then saw Xun Shuo in Ye's mouth.

"General, this is the person!"

Ye took Bai Yan and came to Xun Shuo.

Bai Yan looked curiously at Xun Shuo, who was like the people of Zhao Kingdom, which was very different from the imaginary Xun family's children.

"Xun Shuo, meet General Bai!"

Xun Shuo saw Bai Yan and said.

As Xun Shuo's words fell, the two men on the side also bowed to Bai Yan.

"Chen Ze, meet General Bai!"

"Fu Yao, meet General Bai!"

The two men, regardless of their clothing or skin color, can be seen to be rich and noble, compared with Xun Shuo, these two people are simply gentlemen, gentle as jade.

"Bai Yan, I've seen three!"

Bai Yan raised his hand and returned the salute.

At this moment, Bai Yan looked at the three of them with curiosity.

Looking at the outfits of Chen Ze and Fu Yao, Bai Yan saw at a glance that the scholars behind the two were by no means ordinary, plus Xun Shuo's Xun family.

"Today, the three of them came to the door, Bai Yan and the house has good wine, I hope today, I can talk with the three of them about wine."

Bai Yan said to the three of them, and then made a gesture of please.

Behind these three people, they all represent the three local prominent clans, and Bai Yan will naturally not slack off.

"General Bai's good intentions, don't dare to resign, please!"

"General Bai, please!"

Chen Ze and Fu Yao hurriedly gave up their hands, they were all curious and followed Xun Shuo.

Now that they can get in touch with Bai Yan, they don't refuse.

After all, both of them were also curious about why Xun Shuo was so optimistic about Bai Yan.

Inside the mansion.

In the study.

Wang Jian was looking at the map, studying how to crack Li Mu's solid defense, and he had to be vigilant against Li Mu's surprise attack at all times.

More than 90,000 soldiers, the slightest carelessness, will live and die Zhao State.

"Father, Bai Yan has dealt with the turmoil in the city."

Wang Ben walked into the study and said to his father Wang Qian.

then informed his father of Bai Yan's handling method.

After Wang Jian heard this, he nodded.

"Bai Yan didn't commit the mistake of his great-ancestor!"

Wang Jian muttered.

One of the biggest reasons for Bai Qi's death was that there was no king, and Bai Yan's actions at the moment can be seen to be completely different from Bai Qi's beginning.

"Indeed, Bai Yan is easy-going and has great skills, but he has no strong heart, and he is very easy to get along with."

Wang Ben said to his father.

Wang Jian heard Wang Ben's evaluation and knew that Wang Ben rarely praised a person like this.

Look at the map in front of you.

It has been a month since the withdrawal of troops back to Yanhe, and although it is common to lead troops all year round, whether it is a siege or a confrontation, and confront the enemy army, the current situation is different.

Yao Jia, who was thinking about going to Handan, had no news yet.

"General Bai can be in the mansion?"

Wang Jian turned his head to look at his cronies and asked.

Now that the more it drags on, the more grain and grass are consumed, and if the troops are withdrawn at that time, the gains outweigh the losses.

Even Bai Yan.

When the time comes, when he returns to Qin, he will inevitably be impeached and admonished by some officials.

Feng Zheng's actions in the past made him vaguely guess what Bai Yan had been planning.

"Back to the general! Now General Bai is in the mansion, but I heard that a child surnamed Xun visited General Bai before! ”

In the room, a cronie came to the outside of the room, and after some questioning, he came back to report to Wang Jianyu.

Because the leader of the troops is outside, he may transfer troops at any time.

Therefore, every general who leaves the mansion and goes to where and when he will come back, as Wang Qian's cronies, must know a general idea, otherwise it is easy to delay the military situation.

"Huh? Xun surname? ”

Wang Ben was a little surprised when he heard the words of his cronies, and then turned his head and looked at his father: "Father, it seems that Bai Yan's actions before have attracted the attention of many people!" ”

Wang Jian nodded.

It is clear that this is a good thing for Bai Yan.

As a child of the Bai family, in addition to his own clan, the most important thing for Bai Yan is the connections and clans he has met.

These scholars will not only play a huge role in the future, but may also be able to save their careers and lives.

Even around Bai Yan, there are obvious examples, that is, the former Shangjun County Shou Yang Xian, in the past, Yang Xian hung Bai Yan in the courtyard until dark, this matter is known to everyone in the Qin State.

But the officials of the Qin State and other scholars would notice that the two people Yang Xian met that day were Tang Bing and Cui Guang.

These two are no ordinary people.

It was these two people, after Yang Xian's resignation, that they went to Xianyang to meet King Yingzheng of Qin.

No one knows exactly what was said.

But half a year ago, Tang Bing and Cui Guang became guest secretaries of the Qin State and became officials of the Qin State, in charge of books such as ancient and modern, classics and teachings.

Yang Xian also resumed his official position a few months ago, and I heard that he went to Qianzhong County.

That's where networking comes in.

"When I'm a guest?"

On the other side, when he heard Xun Shuo say that he wanted to worship his house as a guest, Bai Yan almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine, and looked at Xun Shuo dumbfounded.

Although Xun Shuo ran away from home, although Xun Shuo has not returned to the Shi clan for seven years.

But Bai Yan closed his eyes and knew that even if Xun Shuo went to Xianyang for a stop and reported to his home, Tingwei Li Si would order someone to invite Xun Shuo to live in the house, and send good wine, good food, and beautiful food to Xun Shuo.

So Bai Yan couldn't believe it, Xun Shuo, a son of the Xun family who had been thinking about wandering away since he was a child and did not hesitate to run away from home, actually wanted to become his own doorman.

"Hehe, General Bai, Xun Shuo said the same thing to the two of us!"

Chen Ze, who was sitting at the wooden table drinking on the side, also put down the wine lord and said with a wry smile.

Fu Yao was also on the side, looking at Bai Yan with tears and laughter.

The two of them didn't expect that Xun Shuo was still the same as before, a tendon, straight to go, and had something to say.

"Mr. Xun Shuo is willing to give advice to Bai Yan, Bai Yan is very happy in his heart, but he still doesn't know, there are so many people in the world, why did Mr. Xun Shuo find Bai Yan?"

Bai Yan looked at Xun Shuo and asked, the number of courtesies was very polite.

Although he has only just come into contact with Xun Shuo and has not yet known Xun Shuo's ability, with Xun Shuo's surname, even if Xun Shuo has no ability, Bai Yan is willing to raise it.

But Bai Yan also wanted to know why.

After all, Xun Shuo personally said that before coming here, he used to be an official in Zhao State.

Inside the main hall.

Under the gaze of two friends who grew up together since childhood, under the gaze of Bai Yan.

Hearing Bai Yan's inquiry, Xun Shuo, who had been sitting up straight, looked at Bai Yan with his eyes.

"Zhao Guo can't save the people of Zhao State, General Bai can!"

Xun Shuo said.

In a word, Bai Yan seems to understand whether he understands or not.

Although he didn't understand why Xun Shuo wanted to save the people of Zhao State, because of the closure of the year, Bai Yan knew that a person's dream was actually easy to change.

The year is closed because of one person!

Xun Shuo must also have a reason, and it is precisely because of this reason that Xun Shuo gave up wandering before and became an official in Zhao State, and now he is in front of him again.
