Yanmen is good in the city.

In Bai Yan's mansion, an iron cavalry soldier wearing Qin armor came and went to the mansion, came to Wei Lao in the pavilion, and sent the border news to Wei Lao one by one.

"Old Wei, what should I do? Judging by the appearance, the Huns really plan to go south! At the moment, I just don't know, whether the Huns are going to Yishui or Yanmen! ”

Yan Mao stood behind Wei Lao, his face with a scar was full of solemn expressions, and he looked at the iron cavalry soldiers around him, and his eyes were full of worry.

The general is not there.

Now that he has to face the menacing Huns, and the Hun army that killed them in the blood sea corpse mountain more than a year ago, Yan Mao is vaguely worried about morale.

More than a year ago, the reason why their Bai clan iron cavalry was able to kill the Xiongnu and Yue clan did not dare to go south was because of the traps of the ring, and even did not hesitate to destroy Gaonu City, and the most important thing was that the general was there, and the soldiers looked at the general and were willing to follow the general to charge into battle.

"If the old man didn't guess wrong, it should be Yanmen!"

Wei Lao put away the border news in his hand, sighed, and looked out of the pavilion.

"Yanmen! Then go and tell General Chai and Yang Junshou! ”

Yan Mao heard Wei Lao's words, and hurriedly said, and then prepared to leave to go to the county guard's mansion, Yang Junshou didn't know about Yang Lao, and now General Chai, who was the deputy general of the iron cavalry, was in the county guard's mansion.

"Not necessarily!"

Wei Lao raised his hand and opened his mouth to stop Yan Mao, and then shook his head under Yan Mao's suspicious austerity.

"It's useless to tell Yang Duanhe, if there is no accident, Yang Duanhe will definitely receive a secret letter from Wang Jian in the next two days, and at that time, Yang Duanhe will order the mobilization of the army no matter what, but it is not clear whether Yang Duanhe is going to mobilize your Bai clan iron cavalry, or ride to Yishui!"

Wei Lao said.

In the old Zhao land, Yanmen, Daidi, Yanguo Yishui, these three places are all places that can lead to the northern Xiongnu, and now there are generations of land in the middle, Yang Duanhe and Wang Qian, no one dares to bet.

Otherwise, once the defeat of Yan fails, no one can afford to take this responsibility, Yang Duanhe will not risk the entire Yang clan, and Wang Jian will not take the Wang clan to risk, so the final result must be Yang Duanhe ordered to mobilize the army to help Wang Jian prevent the Xiongnu.

Yanmen is not as important as Fa Yan in the eyes of almost everyone, and under Wang Jian's command, there are more than 100,000 Qin troops, and no one dares to let this army be wiped out because of Fa Yan.

"So what should we do now?"

Yan Mao looked at Wei Lao.

"Hold on, hold on until that kid comes back!"

Wei Lao shook his head.

"Regardless of whether the side rider or the Bai clan iron rider is left in the end, Yanmen must not make a mistake, otherwise once the battle is cowardly and the crime is surrendered, all the generals will become sinners and the whole family will be harmed!"

Although Wei Lao said so, but at this moment, the worry in Wei Lao's heart is no less than Yan Mao, the people of Zhao finally survived the drought, and finally resumed farming again, and they can see the fields and grain millet, at this time, the Huns came, destroying the fields, I am afraid that this year, I don't know how many Zhao people will starve to death.

Outside the gazebo.

Xun Shuo walked slowly with a roll of bamboo slips, came to the pavilion, and saluted Yan Mao and Wei Lao.

"Wei Lao, Shuo received the news, the Yue's side seems to be preparing to take the opportunity to make a move against the Huns!"

As Xun Shuo spoke, he handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Wei Lao.

After Wei Lao took the bamboo slip, he opened it and looked at the contents.

"Great! As long as the Yue clan restrained the Huns, the Huns would never dare to go south unscrupulously! ”

Yan Mao heard Xun Shuo's words, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as there is the containment of the Yue Clan, then the Xiongnu will never dare to go south to Yanmen here, otherwise the Xiongnu and the Qin State will both be defeated, and the Yue Clan will take advantage of it, and may even directly slaughter the Xiongnu tribe.

"That's not right!"

After Wei Lao finished reading the bamboo slips, he closed the bamboo slips and frowned.

"Xun Shuo also has a hunch, things are by no means so simple!"

Xun Shuo heard Wei Lao's muttering, turned his head to look at Yan Mao, and then shook his head at Wei Lao.

"What's so strange about that? The Xiongnu and the Yueshi have always been at odds, they have been fighting openly and secretly, and the Yueshi wants to take the opportunity to do something to the Xiongnu, which is normal! ”

Yan Mao is a reckless man, leading the troops to kill the enemy can not frown, and the enemy is also fearless, but for judging the enemy's strategy and the like, it is a tendon, and some don't understand, just like right now, in Yan Mao's eyes, it is normal for the Yue clan to want the Huns to die, so it is understandable that the Yue clan wants to take the opportunity to attack the Huns, not to mention that this news was discovered by Xun Shuo through means, how can it be fake.

"It's not normal!"

Xun Shuo listened to Yan Mao's words and looked at Yan Mao.

"The Yueshi really wants the Huns to die, but the premise is that the Yueshi will never help us!"

While Xun Shuo was talking, he looked at Yan Mao who still hadn't comprehended and wanted to speak, so Xun Shuo continued.

"It's not the Qin State!"

If Yan Mao's previous words were difficult to understand, then as Yan Mao spoke and said this, Yan Mao understood no matter how stupid he was.

Xun Shuo meant that even if the Yue clan wanted to make a move against the Xiongnu, they would wait until after the Xiongnu raided Yanmen, and it was even possible.

"It is possible that the Yueshi will continue to go south with the Xiongnu! Not only to take the opportunity to make a move against the Xiongnu, but also to avenge the revenge in Gaonu a year ago!! ”

Thinking of this, Yan Mao hurriedly looked at Xun Shuo.

After thinking of this possibility, Yan Mao's eyes when he looked at Xun Shuo at this moment became unprecedentedly solemn.

And this time, Xun Shuo heard Yan Mao's words and didn't shake his head at Yan Mao again.

"It is very likely that the Huns also have this idea!"

Xun Shuo said, looking at Wei Lao.

Wei Lao didn't speak, and after listening to Xun Shuo's analysis at this moment, he turned to look at Xun Shuo, his eyes were full of emotion, in the end, it was Xunzi's descendant, he had this insight at such an age, and he could see through Yue's plan with a single roll of bamboo, and there were few people in the world who could compare with this person.

"In any case, we can't let the Yueshi get involved in this matter, let alone let the Yueshi and the Xiongnu form an alliance, if the Yueshi and the Xiongnu want to form an alliance, we can also ally with the Yueshi and the Xiongnu!"

Wei Lao handed the bamboo slip to Xun Shuo.

One sentence once again made Yan Mao incomprehensible, but Xun Shuo pondered for a while and nodded slowly.

"What happened in Shangjun Gaonu a year ago really made many leaders of the Yue clan and the Xiongnu tribe dissatisfied!"

Xun Shuo said this, looking at Wei Lao with some concern.

"But most of those leaders suffered heavy losses a year ago, and they have a deep hatred with the Qin State Iron Cavalry! If you rely on those people alone, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

As Xun Shuo spoke, he suddenly remembered someone.

"But there is a person, there is a tribe in the Yue clan, its leader is named Rolling Mu Qi, a year ago in Shangjun Gaonu, this tribe did not lose much, and it is a steady and bold person, and there is a Central Plains scholar named Weng next to him, a year ago, it was this person's idea."

Xun Shuo said this, glanced at Yan Mao with some concern, and then said what happened a year ago under Yan Mao's puzzled gaze.

"It was this person who spoke to the Huns, and used iron to ride those wounded soldiers in front of him!"

Xun Shuo's voice fell.

Yan Mao, who was originally full of incomprehension, shrank his pupils, looked at Xun Shuo in a daze, and the pictures from a year ago came to mind one by one again, recalling that those soldiers were arrested by the Huns and dragged away, and used as human shields.

"It's !! him"

Yan Mao's eyes were visibly reddened, the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised, and the voice of gritting his teeth revealed the hatred buried in his heart.

"Just use that person, let people send two cars to that person, and let him persuade him to replace the king of the Yue clan, if not, he can also let him return to Qin Kingdom openly!"

Wei Lao also noticed Yan Mao's appearance, but it was a matter of the rise and fall of Yanmen, and Wei Lao looked at this matter more rationally.

"Good! Shuo, this is going to be done by someone! ”

Xun Shuo nodded, bowed to Wei Lao, and then turned to leave the pavilion.

After Wei Lao watched Xun Shuo leave, his eyes looked at Yan Mao, who was bowing his head and writing his fists.

"Remember, even if he is in front of you in the future, you will not be able to kill him! Otherwise, it will hurt your general! ”

Wei Lao said softly.

Yan Mao's whole body trembled, if the first half of the sentence made Yan Mao's heart full of anger and wanted to open his mouth to question, then the latter sentence made Yan Mao quiet.

And at this very moment.

Suddenly there was movement in the distance, a faint 'general' voice, which made Yan Mao and Wei Lao both turn their heads to look over, and then the two of them saw that Xun Shuo, who had just left the pavilion, stopped in the courtyard in the distance, and there was a young man standing in front of him.

Bai Yan!!!

"General!"

Yan Mao saw Bai Yan with a look of ecstasy.

Wei Lao also looked at the young man with surprise, his disciple, according to Wei Lao's expectations, Bai Yan could not return to Yanmen so soon, at this time, seeing Bai Yan return to Yanmen, Wei Lao was a little unbelievable.

"Let's go!"

Wei Lao then took Yan Mao and walked excitedly towards the distant courtyard.

And inside the yard.

Bai Yan stood in front of Xun Shuo, listening to Xun Shuo's words and the current situation here in Yanmen, nodded slowly, and watched Wei Lao and Yan Mao coming.

"Teacher!"

Bai Yan turned around and raised his hand to Wei Lao to salute.

Wei Lao also raised his hand to return the salute, and then looked at the young man in front of him who was dusty and tired, and it was not clear why the young man appeared here.

"General!"

Yan Mao saluted Bai Yan, and when he saw Bai Yan, he was excited in his heart, and the worries in his eyes in the past few days all dissipated at the moment he saw Bai Yan.

Bai Yan smiled at Yan Mao.

"It's good to be back! If you come back, there will be nothing wrong here in Yanmen! ”

Wei Lao nodded, looking at his disciple, indescribably satisfied.

It's just that Wei Lao also has a little regret in his heart, since the young man in front of him is here, that means that Tian Ding has returned to Qi State!

But now that Bai Yan is back in Yanmen, it is a good thing for everyone here in Yanmen.

He can finally breathe a sigh of relief in his heart!

"Shuo will go and prepare first, and arrange for someone to go north to contact the Yue Clan!"

Xun Shuo watched Bai Yan come back, how could he not settle down in his heart, in the final analysis, whether it was him or Wei Lao, they could only play a behind-the-scenes auxiliary role, the real backbone of Yanmen, only Bai Yan, and only Bai Yan was in Yanmen, not only the Yanmen Bai's iron cavalry would settle down, but even where to ride, it would also stabilize the army's heart.

"Good! After this incident, Bai Yan waited for him with thin wine! ”

Bai Yan looked at Xun Shuo, nodded at Xun Shuo, and raised his hand to salute.

Xun Shuo smiled when he heard Bai Yan's words, raised his hand to return the salute, gave Bai Yan a reassuring look, and then turned to leave.

Inside the yard.

Bai Yan looked at Xun Shuo's departing figure, waiting for it to disappear.

"Yan Mao, you go back to the camp first, gather all the iron horses, let the soldiers prepare, and after we will go to the county guard's mansion, we will go to the camp!"

Bai Yan turned to Yan Mao and said.

When the words fell, Wei Lao frowned slightly.

"It's better to rest for a day first!"

Wei Lao's words were full of concern, looking at Bai Yan's appearance at the moment, Wei Lao was a little distressed, and Wei Lao knew better that once Bai Yan went to the Iron Cavalry Camp, he would have no time to rest at all.

"The soldiers are fast, since the Huns want to go south, the disciples should prepare to welcome the guests as soon as possible! Later, the disciples also begged for honest help, so that the news of the disciple's return to Yanmen spread. ”

Bai Yan shook his head and refused Wei Lao's kindness.

"It's not difficult to spread the news, but at the moment it's not clear where the Xiongnu went south, when they went south, how many people, nothing is known!"

Wei Lao looked at Bai Yan, his brows furrowed slightly, Wei Lao understood Bai Yan's intention to spread the news, but the most tricky thing at the moment was that for them, they could not control the southward route of the Xiongnu at all, and they were not even sure when they wanted to take precautions in advance.

Yan Mao stood aside and heard Wei Lao's words, looked at Bai Yan, and nodded his head.

"Teacher, we don't know, but someone knows!"

Bai Yan saw Yan Mao's eyes, and then looked at Wei Lao and said.

"Who?"

Wei Lao was a little surprised, and looked at Bai Yan with doubts.

"Guo Zong!"

Bai Yan said a name.

When Elder Wei heard Bai Yan's words, his old face full of long beards was stunned.

"Guo Zong!"

Wei Lao nodded.

"The old man almost forgot about this man!"

Wei Lao suddenly thought of something and looked at Bai Yan.

"But if he doesn't say anything, even if we catch him, we won't be able to do anything with him, unless. . . Do you want her to help you? ”

Wei Lao asked, for Guo Zong's matter, Wei Lao also knows a little, Guo Zong has been providing iron ore and iron stirrups for the Huns, this matter Bai Yan let Xun Shuo keep an eye on Guo Zong, and did not alarm Guo Zong.

But now Wei Lao knows better, Bai Yan wants to find out the news from Guo Zong, but it's not that simple, Guo Zong claims to have thousands of people in captivity, in fact, there may be more, even if he comes strongly, I'm afraid to catch Guo Zong, Guo Zong may not necessarily say.

The only way. It is to make Zhao Qiu, who now lives in the mansion and has always been at odds with Bai Yan, willing to help!

But.

Wei Lao looked at Bai Yan, he knew that it was as difficult as letting Zhao Qiu help Bai Yan than letting Guo Zong speak.

"There's a way, you have to give it a try!"

When Bai Yan heard Wei Lao's words, he naturally understood how difficult it was for Zhao Qiu to agree to help him, but compared to the safety of Yanmen, compared to the survival of countless soldiers.

No matter how hard it is! Try it too!

A moment later.

In the study in the mansion.

The moving Tyrant saw Bai Yan's appearance, full of distress, and learned that Bai Yan couldn't even rest, so he was going to the county guard's mansion, and then went to the camp, the Tyrant wanted to speak, but in the end he could only turn into a sigh, and turned around to prepare a set of marching clothes for Bai Yan.

Bai Yan watched the gentle and virtuous Tyrant leave, looked at her beautiful back, and smiled gratefully.

And Bai Yan stayed in the study together, as well as Zhao Qiu.

In the past, I didn't see him for a few months, and now I met again, for Zhao Qiu, looking at the young man next to him, his heart was extremely complicated, since he learned that the young man was a Qi person, since he learned that he was not a disciple of the Bai family, no one could understand the feeling of being anxious and powerless.

Especially after learning what happened in Luoyin, Zhao Qiu was even more unwilling, and he didn't remember how many times he went to see Wei Lao, and the result was that he was disappointed without exception.

In the study, as the Tyrant left, it was quiet in an instant.

"I really shouldn't have let you go to Xianyang with the envoys of the Yan Kingdom!"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan, his thin voice was filled with endless remorse.

If he knew all the coincidences behind him, and knew that it was Bai Yan who inadvertently saved Yingzheng in the end, what Zhao Qiu said, no matter what means he used, he would not let Bai Yan follow Yan to Xianyang.

In front of the wooden table.

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu, who had not seen him for several months, his first sentence was full of complaints, he smiled bitterly, and turned his head to look at the incomparably seductive beauty in front of him.

How so? to let her help herself!
