Chapter 357: Ying Kan's shame is unbearable, and Bai Yan who received the news

"My lord, this is news from Handan!" Xun

Ying Kan, who was on the edge of the Great Wall of Zhao, heard the report of the people outside the carriage, and then slowly got up and walked out of the carriage.

Outside the carriage.

Ying Kan looked at the endless Zhao Great Wall in front of him, and then glanced at the endless laborers and prisoners behind him and in front of him.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Ying Kan stretched out his hand.

Seeing this, the man next to the carriage hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Ying Kan.

"In the future, this Great Wall must be told to the king and let people tear it down!"

Ying Kan took the bamboo slip, looked at the Great Wall used by Zhao Guo to defend against the direction of the Candle River in the south, and muttered to himself. Xun

In the territory of Zhao, Yan and Qi, there are Great Walls, and the Great Wall in front of them is not to defend against the Xiongnu in the north of Zhao, but to be cast in the southernmost part to prevent Han Wei.

Previously, the Qin State had divided its troops several times, and Sima Shang relied on this Great Wall to resist the Qin army all the way, otherwise how could General Xin Sheng not be able to attack Sima Shang for a long time, and was finally defeated by Li Muchi's aid.

After thinking about it, Ying Kan made up his mind that this time when he went to Zhao State, he would say to the king that he would dismantle the Great Wall.

Taking advantage of the fact that more than 100,000 laborers are there, it can save a lot of expenses in the Qin State.

Come to think of it.

Ying Kan looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and then slowly opened it.

I thought it was the news of Yingzheng's arrival in Handan, which was not surprising, but when Ying Kan saw the back, he was suddenly stunned. Xun

"What's going on?"

Ying Kan slowly put away the bamboo slips, his face was a little confused, a little nervous, and more puzzled.

"Pass my orders, everyone, go to Handan as soon as possible."

Ying Kan suddenly turned his head and ordered to the cronies beside him.

A day later.

Handan City.

Ying Kan arrived outside the city of Handan, and hurriedly instructed his cronies and generals to lead his troops to rest, while he hurriedly rode a carriage to the palace of Handan. Xun

After checking the palace gate to confirm his identity, Ying Kan hurriedly walked in the palace.

Soon, Ying Kan saw many eunuchs.

"Where is the king at this moment?"

Ying Kan stepped forward and asked.

When several eunuchs saw Ying Kan in official uniforms, they were no strangers and hurriedly saluted.

"My lord, the king drank until late at night yesterday, and is now recuperating in the inner palace."

When the eunuch at the head saw Ying Kan, he hurriedly whispered. Xun

While talking, Ying Kan listened, and suddenly saw Han Yu not far away, and hurriedly raised his hand.

And when Han Yu saw Ying Kan, he hurriedly stopped with the other eunuchs.

"Win Kan-sama!"

Han Yu stepped forward, looked at Ying Kan who was walking in a hurry, and bowed his hand.

Several eunuchs behind Han Yu also saluted one after another.

"Han Confessor!"

Ying Kan returned the salute, and then glanced at the eunuchs behind Han Yu. Xun

Seeing this, Han Zhen naturally knew what Ying Kan meant, so he thought about it, turned around and instructed the eunuch behind him to continue to do things.

After watching several eunuchs leave one after another, Han Yu turned his head and saluted Ying Kan again.

"Lord Yingkan, but what's wrong?"

Han asked softly after the salute.

Ying Kan didn't hide it at this time, nodded, and saluted Han Zhi.

"Please also ask Han to tell Ying Kan what happened when the king arrived at the palace that day."

Ying Kan said. Xun

For the forty-year-old Han Yan in front of him, Ying Kan will not be underestimated, even Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, does not dare to snub Han Yan.

Han has followed the four generations of monarchs successively, and in terms of qualifications and connections, among all the eunuchs, there are very few who can compare.

What's more.

Ying Kan knows very well that Han Zhan is a wise man, and he has seen many things more thoroughly than him, so when he meets Han Chen, he wins

Kan will come forward to ask for advice.

After all, the characters in the bamboo slips are dead, and Han Yu knows much more when he follows Yingzheng.

Under the 100-step staircase.

Han Yu glanced around, then sighed wistfully and looked at Ying Kan. Xun

"My lord was confused!"

Han Zhi's hands were always together, and under the wide eunuch clothes, the embroidered robe was raised again, and he saluted Ying Kan.

"Please also ask Han to make it clear that Ying Kan will be grateful!"

When Ying Kan saw the appearance of Han Xuan, he hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Ying Kan also knew very well that Han Zhan would only speak because he was an old acquaintance with him, and he was a relative of the Ying clan.

Therefore, after the Han confessor's voice fell, Ying Kan immediately expressed his gratitude to the Han confessor, and he will definitely repay it in the future.

"Why are you in such a hurry to catch the people in Zhujiaxiang, you don't want to think about it, what happened to the king when he was still young, who in the world doesn't know, if the king wants the head of Zhujiaxiang, why is it your turn!" Xun

When Han Yu said this, he shook his head, and after making sure that there was no one around, he said very quietly: "The king rewarded Yao Jia with no less than 100 times of money and no less than 100 times of gold, and Yao Jia has customers all over the world."

After saying this.

There was a sigh for the Han.

"And before General Wang Jian sent troops to break through Handan City, why didn't he send troops to capture people?"

Han Yu spoke.

Ying Kan listened carefully, thinking about it, and it was only at this time that Ying Kan suddenly realized that he seemed to be in a hurry before, and he didn't expect so much.

Come to think of it. Xun

Ying Kan looked at Han Chen.

And Han Yu also seems to know Ying Kan's doubts.

"For example, if they are all looking at the king today, countless scholars are waiting for the opportunity for the king to tell the truth, and the previous actions of the adults are undoubtedly to push the king in front of the people of the world, so that the people of the world say that the king is a narrow-minded and undignified king.

When Han Zhan said this, he saw that Ying Kan's face was pale, and Han Zhan did not continue to talk when he saw this.

"Thank you, Han!"

After listening to Han Kan's words, he didn't know where he was wrong and why the king was so angry.

Recalling that since Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, in order to keep Wei Yi, food and clothing, in order to express that he did not care about Yao Jia's past experience, and the importance of talents, when Yao Jia went on an envoy for the first time, Ying Zheng invested his car and 100 catties, gold thousand catties, clothes Wang Yi, and Wang Jian to envoy to various countries. Xun

Whether it is the act of sacrificing to the heavens, or the corporal Lixian, Ying Zheng has never been stingy in treating famous generals.

"The humble position is just a few words, it is good to be able to solve the doubts of the adults, and the one who the adults should really be grateful should be the white general!"

Han said to Ying Kan.

Ying Kan came back to his senses, his face was full of red and white shame at the moment, and then he saluted Han again with gratitude.

When the Han confessor returned the salute, he thought about it.

"My lord, I hope that my lord will listen to it."

Han said. Xun

Seeing this, Ying Kan hurriedly asked for advice.

"Please speak up!"

Ying Kan looked at Han Chen.

Later, under Ying Kan's gaze, Han Yu told Ying Kan.

"Although the Lord is at fault, General Bai's actions have calmed the king's anger, and now after two days, the king will definitely be able to understand that the Lord is also out of good intentions, and the Lord can only do it when this thing has never happened, just as General Bai said, only in this way can the Lord have no fault and be meritorious!"

Han reminded Ying Kan that this matter has passed, and as a member of Ying Kan's Ying clan, and it is also out of good intentions, Ying Zheng's anger has subsided, and he will definitely not be guilty again.

But as Bai Yan said, this matter is Bai Yan's negligence, and the process is just like what Bai Yan said. Xun

"Win Kan knows! Thank you, Han!"

When Ying Kan heard the advice of Han Chen, he almost found a crack in the ground and turned in.

At this moment, after listening to Han Yu's words, of course Ying Kan knew the consequences of saying it.

It's hard to have merit without fault, and it's not stupid to win.

Of course, Ying Kan also knows that in this way, he owes Bai Yan a great favor, thinking back on the things along the way before, Ying Kan is really complicated.

........

Bai Yan Mansion. Xun

Bai Yan was kneeling in the study, looking at the rolls of bamboo slips.

Suddenly, a cronie came in with a man.

"General, this person is Lord Yingkan's servant, and he came to see the general on the orders of Lord Yingkan."

The cronies saluted Bai Yanji.

Seeing this, Bai Yan nodded slightly.

"General Bai, my name is Xu, Lord Yingkan asked me to send this thing to the general."

As the man spoke, he took out a small cloth wrap from his cuffs, as well as a roll of bamboo slips, and handed them to the Qin cavalry soldiers beside him. Xun

The Qin cavalry soldier took the things in the man's hand, and then brought them to Bai Yan's wooden table.

"Your name?"

When Bai Yan heard the man's words, a touch of sadness appeared on his expression.

Looking at Bai Yan's appearance, he hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Yes!"

He looked at the young man in front of him, but he was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, and the young man on the top of his head was even more left, and his breathing was a little short.

Of course I have heard of this young man's deeds, and many friends have ridiculed him at the beginning, saying that when he hid from everyone and secretly went to enlist in the army, he also got to know Bai Yan, a child of the Bai family. Xun

My friend has said it many times.

And he has heard the name Bai Yan countless times a long, long time ago, and he is also very yearning in his heart, and he can see the rumored side of Bai Yan.

In front of the wooden table.

Bai Yan looked at the things sent by Ying Kan's order, and after opening the bamboo slip, he looked at the contents inside.

Most of them were words of gratitude, and he also told Bai Yan that along the way, his spies heard that there were many scholar forces who wanted to kill Bai Yan.

There is a list of scholars with names and surnames on the bamboo slips.

When Bai Yan saw this, he also knew that it was likely to be true, he had never been in harmony with Ying Kan before, and he couldn't hide it from some well-intentioned people, and the identity of Ying Kan's clan was the best force in the grass hall of Qin State to deal with the Bai clan. Xun

Regardless of whether Ying Kan's spies are outside or have been bought by the Shi clan, these news must be what those Shi clans, or the forces behind those Shi clans, want to reveal to Ying Kan.

This is to test Ying Kan, and it is also to inform Ying Kan of a message, the people who want to move the Bai family and want to move him Bai Yan are not the only ones who want to move Ying Kan.

Put away the bamboo slips.

Bai Yan looked at the small cloth on the wooden table, stretched out his hand to pick it up and opened it, and inside was a small jade pendant.

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing.

Ying Kan is taking a jade pendant and giving him a promise, this jade pendant represents a favor.

Bai Yan put away the jade pendant, and sighed that the scholars all liked this set, Bai Yan and the Zou family were like this at the beginning, and Tian Feiyan's mother and Tian Feiyan were also like this. Xun

Put away the jade pendant.

"I'm tired of giving this bamboo slip to Lord Yingkan!"

Bai Yan stretched out his hand from the wooden table, took a roll of bamboo slips that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it to him.

These are all confessions, and it doesn't matter if the confessions are true or false, the important thing is that the people who can really suspect Zhujiaxiang of rebellion are terrorizing.

It was Yingkan's person who went to arrest people, so of course Bai Yan knew that he and Yingkan both needed an excuse.

No matter how the people of the world ridicule this excuse, as long as there is an excuse, they can justifiably investigate those people in Zhujiaxiang, and the rest of the matter can be handed over to Ying Kan at that time.

What the result is, no matter what Bai Yan does, Bai Yan will not verify it. Xun

"General Bai rest assured!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, he took the bamboo slip in Bai Yan's hand with both hands, looked at the young Bai Yan, and was about to turn around and leave before thinking about it.

"General Bai, if you need it in the future

In the place, as long as it is not a betrayal of Lord Yingkan, you can send someone to contact you."

He said to Bai Yan.

Although in front of the young general in front of him, he knew very well that his status was not worth mentioning at all, and if it weren't for Winkan, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to meet the young man before.

But after hearing the story of the young man in front of him, he has always had a good impression, not to mention the previous battle in Shangjun Gaonu, in the territory of Qin, this young man has a good reputation, if he can, he is willing to help this young man.

"Thank you!" Xun

Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard Xi's words.

Although there are few people in the world who are good to themselves for no reason, for some reason, looking at the eyes of the man in front of him, Bai Yan believed it.

smiled, Bai Yan didn't let his cronies get money, and now Bai Yan wants to take out some money, which is not difficult, but looking at the man in front of him, Bai Yan knows that this person is by no means one of those people who are greedy for money.

If he took out the money rashly, it would be self-defeating, making the man mistakenly think that he looked down on him.

I thought about it.

Bai Yan didn't say anything, just got up and slowly saluted to Yan to show his gratitude.

If it is as he said, there will be a day when Bai Yan will never be polite. Xun

After looking at the return salute, he turned and left.

Bai Yan came to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, a little distracted.

Among the bamboo slips left by Chun Pingjun, some news about the Zhao people has been investigated, and the one that surprised Bai Yan the most was Guo Zong.

Guo Zong and Guo Kai are both out of Jinyang Guo's family, and Guo Kai also has a blood relationship, before Handan iron ore was all in the hands of Guo Zong, Guo Zong also relied on Handan iron ore, became one of the richest families in Handan, Zhao State, some people rumored that Guo Zong's gold is more than that of the Zhao royal family.

Guo Zongcai was summoned by Yingzheng yesterday, and Bai Yan didn't know what he talked about.

The only thing that is certain is that without Ying Zheng's permission at the moment, no one can move Guo Zong, unless there is real ironclad evidence.

"No, there may be ironclad evidence, and it may not be able to kill Guo Zong." Xun

Bai Yan sighed softly.

When Qin had not yet destroyed Han and Zhao, King Yingzheng of Qin attached great importance to the widow Qing in Shu, as well as Yidun in Hedong and Wushi in Longxi.

The representatives of these three respective clans represent the three largest businesses of the Qin Empire, Bashu Baqing is also called Huaiqing, the clan behind it controls the mining and refining of dansha, Yidun in Hedong controls the salt, and the Wushi Lu is the Central Plains silk in exchange for the cattle and sheep of the Rongwang, and its financial resources are side by side with the other two.

Standing in front of the window, Bai Yan looked at the scenery outside the window.

At the beginning, Lu Qi bluntly said that he was envious of the three of them, even if he was also selling salt, even if he had a relationship with Qin and Qi, he didn't dare to get involved in the territory of Yidun and Wushi, let alone provoke the widow Qing.

Lu Qi said.

In the territory of Bashu, which is incomparably vast, there is a citrus land in Badi, with tens of thousands of people in a city, and one-fifth of them are all servants of Ba Shi and subordinates. Xun

That is to say, the Bab doorman, the servant, and the servant are not less than tens of thousands of people.

Outside of Shudi, all the shops in the cities involved in the Ba clan are guarded by special captive doormen, which is allowed by Ying Zheng, it can be said that in the Qin State, only Ying Zheng is the only one who can move the Ba family, and the others have no strength at all.

"But now we have to find a way to find out how much iron ore Guo Zong secretly bought from the Xiongnu and Lin Hu."

Bai Yan frowned slightly.

In the first battle of stirrups, the Xiongnu and Lin Hu retreated, and even directly exchanged the plundering women of Yanmen in the back, all in order to delay time.

The Huns were already casting stirrups.

Thinking of the secret letters from Yanmen, Bai Yan knew that after the Xiongnu and Lin Hu recuperated, they would definitely go south to take revenge, and the first to bear the brunt was the only Yanmen iron horse who threatened them and also had stirrups. Xun

As long as Yanmen did not have iron cavalry that threatened the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu and Lin Hu could go south and plunder at will in the future.

The source of iron ore for the Xiongnu is likely to be from the hands of Guo Zong, but across the mountains, the passage to the Xiongnu, except

In addition to Yanmen, there are three roads, the first is to detour to Yunzhong County, the second is to represent the land, and the third is Shanggu.

As long as Guo Zong does not go to Yanmen, if he wants to investigate Guo Zong's private sale of stirrups in other places, it is not only dangerous to be discovered, but also very time-consuming and laborious.

After all, it is estimated that there should be many people who have been bought by Guo Zong, after all, there are definitely not a few generals of the Qin army like Su Han, not to mention that the scholars in other parts of Zhao Land have their own control of local city forces.

You must not let Tieqi investigate, Guo Zong must take precautions, where can Zhao Bianqi, but it is also very dangerous, after all, Zhao Bianqi has the ability to ride, and those warrior forces are clear.

The best is Zhao Qiu.

If Zhao Qiu can help use his connections and eyeliner, not only Yunzhong County and Shanggu, but even Dai Di. Xun

"But how do you get Zhao Qiu to be willing to help?"

Bai Yan was a little embarrassed when he thought of this.

At this time, he heard footsteps outside the door, Bai Yan looked, and then a cronie came over with a bamboo slip.

"General, this is the news sent by General Xianyang Baiyu!"

The cronies said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan took the bamboo slip, and when he heard that it was sent by Bai Yu, he slowly opened it.

However, after seeing the news in the bamboo slips, Bai Yan's face changed slightly, and after a long time, he slowly put away the bamboo slips and looked out the window helplessly. Xun

When he was in Luoyang, whether it was Mao Jiao's reminder or Bai Yan himself, he knew that Bai's Baiyan would definitely go to Qi to worship.

But Bai Yan never imagined that this day would be so fast and so sudden.

In the letter, Bai Yu told him that Bai Yan had taken his wife and daughter to the Qi Kingdom to worship, so calculate the time, I am afraid that Bai Yan and his party should be about to arrive in Xinzheng at this time.

The handwriting in the letter shows that Bai Yu is very happy, and reassures him not to miss his dead father and mother.

But Bai Yan knew that as long as Bai Yan arrived in Linzi, he would definitely know that Zou Xing of the Zou family had already been killed by the enemy two years ago.

"It's troublesome, I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore!"

Bai Yan shook his head and smiled wryly. Xun

Bai Yan didn't know how Bai Yan would react after learning the truth of the matter.
