"Huns?"

Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slip, Yang Duanhe told about the crisis in Yanmen, his brows furrowed slightly, but fortunately, when he saw that Bai Yan had arrived in Yanmen, his heart settled down slightly.

Ying Zheng didn't expect that the Huns would take advantage of this opportunity to go south!

Obviously, now that the Xiongnu dare to go south, where is the Yueshi, it must be in private, and the Xiongnu have reached some unknown things, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for the Xiongnu to go south.

Fortunately, Bai Yan has returned to Yanmen!

Ying Zheng thought back to the time when Bai Yan left, and after looking at the content of the letter, it became clear that after Bai Yan left Xianyang, he went straight to Yanmen, and he still went day and night.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt a little relieved in his heart, in the bad political affairs day after day, after dealing with one irritable matter after another, seeing Bai Yan's actions was really sighing.

However, Ying Zheng also knew that there were very few people and ministers in the entire counties and counties of the Qin State, that is, in the court of the Qin State, who could be like Bai Yan.

It's not a question of competence, it's about attitude and responsibility.

"Your Majesty, but what happened to Yanmen?"

Princess Mi got up, came to Ying Zheng's side, looked at Ying Zheng who was frowning, and asked with concern.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng looked at the contents of the bamboo slips.

"The Xiongnu are ready to go south, and Yang Duanhe said that the Xiongnu army has attacked Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng."

Ying Zheng said.

"Ahh The Xiongnu attacked the south and attacked Yanmen? ”

When Princess Mi heard Yingzheng's words, she was surprised and worried.

"Rest assured, Bai Yan has arrived in Yanmen, leading the army to Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng to resist the Huns, with Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe and the two of them, the Huns want to go south to Yanmen, it's not that simple!"

After reading the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng put away the bamboo slips, looked at the concubine who was worried, and said softly.

As he spoke, Ying Zheng walked back to the wooden table, put down the bamboo and prepared to continue to deal with affairs.

When Princess Mi heard this, she also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Bai Yan resisted the Huns, even if the Huns were outnumbered, other counties or General Wang Jian could send troops back to help, and there should be no big problem.

Day 2.

As the night receded, the sky was not much brighter, so Ying Zheng washed up early, and after eating a little something, he went to the palace hall to preside over the government.

Your Royal Highness, most of the civil and military officials still bring up the old things, the affairs of Yingchuan are always endless, and the rest is the internal history of Su and the daily report of the Shaofu.

Listening to the chaotic arguments of the officials about some things, Ying Zheng, as usual, did not rush to decide, but let the officials fight for the red face, in a word, only after the debate, do you know who is reasonable, who is advantageous, and who is right.

"Report! Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yanmen! ”

Suddenly, outside the main hall, a palace guard hurriedly walked into the main hall, and then came to the center of the main hall below, and reported to Ying Zheng.

Hearing the news that it was Yanmen, Yuan En's red-faced officials who were still arguing quieted down one after another, and glanced at each other angrily, all of them were ready to rest for a while, and after hearing about Yanmen, it was not too late to argue, and they were just taking a breath now, ready to prepare speeches.

Li Si, Wei Yi, Chang Wenjun and others were also a little surprised when they heard the news that it was Yanmen, and then frowned slightly.

Now the general Wang Jian and the deputy general Xin Sheng are leading the army of Qin to attack Yan, and there is an urgent report from Yanmen at this time, which is not a good thing.

Under the gaze of everyone, Han Yu walked down the stairs to the center of the empty hall, took the bamboo slip from the hands of the palace guards, held them above his head with both hands, and then returned to the main hall, bent down and handed it to Yingzheng.

Quiet in the main hall.

Ying Zheng knelt on the throne, took the bamboo slip and opened it to see, Ying Zheng just received the news of Yang Duanhe in Yanmen last night, but he didn't expect that this was only one night, and another one came.

"What? Guo Yi? ”

After Ying Zheng finished reading the bamboo slips, he was furious, and directly in front of the civil and military officials, he threw the slips in anger and got up and walked in the main hall.

"Peng Yi, Guo Yi!"

Ying Zheng walked back and forth, muttering these two names in his mouth, angry in his heart.

The bamboo slip not only records the news that the Huns have 40,000 troops in Yishui, but also the fact that after the Huns retreated, Bai Yan withdrew his troops and returned to the south, and finally recorded Peng Yi's confession after he was captured.

Peng Yi, Guo Yi!

Thinking of these two names, these two people who were bought, Yingzheng was angry, not these two, but Guo Zong.

Yingzheng is not stupid, Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe mentioned Guo Zong's matter before, and now Peng Yi and Guo Yi's actions, there is no doubt that the mastermind behind it is Guo Zong.

Your Highness.

The civil and military officials were taken aback when they saw Ying Zheng's angry appearance, Ying Zheng's actions undoubtedly told the hundred officials that something must have happened in Yanmen, and the matter was definitely not small, otherwise Ying Zheng would never be so angry.

Although Li Si, Wei Yi and the others were prepared, looking at Ying Zheng, they also realized that the seriousness of the matter was likely to exceed their expectations.

"If you have something to discuss tomorrow, retreat!"

Ying Zheng's voice came from the main hall, and the hundred officials who had originally bowed their heads looked up at Ying Zheng, and when they looked up at Ying Zheng, they saw that Ying Zheng had left the throne, and Han Zheng went to pick up the bamboo slips that Ying Zheng had dropped, and quickly followed away.

"What the hell happened to Yanmen?"

"I don't know! Didn't hear of it! ”

"The king is so angry, I'm afraid something big must have happened!"

Seeing Yingzheng leaving, the officials whispered one after another.

Li Si, Wei Yi and the others glanced at each other.

Among the hundreds of officials, after Bai Yu and Hu Lao met, both of them could see each other's worries.

Half an hour later, as the civil and military officials retreated and left, in the Xianyang Palace, Li Si, Wei Yi, Chang Wenjun, Kui Zhuang and others were left behind by the eunuchs, and under the leadership of the eunuchs, they came to the study.

In the study, everyone came to Ying Zheng's side and raised their hands to salute.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!!"

When Li Si, Wei Yi and the others saluted, they had already noticed that the Han Yu on the side was holding a wooden plate, and two rolls of bamboo slips were placed on the wooden plate.

Ying Zheng stood in front of the huge map, looking at the map in a daze, looking at the map, where the location of Yanmen was written.

With Ying Zheng's silence.

Han Yu stepped forward with a wooden plate, and asked Kui Xiang, Chang Wenjun, Li Si, Wang Juan and others one by one to look at the two rolls of bamboo slips, both of which were sent by Yang Duanhe of Yanmen, the difference is that one roll was sent last night, and the other was just delivered.

After Li Si and the others finished reading the bamboo slips, they all looked at the map, the location of the mountains in the clouds north of Yanmen, and then looked at the location of Shanwu City on the map.

At this time, after learning about it, Li Si and the others understood why the king was so angry.

From learning that the Xiongnu went south, to Bai Yan had arrived in Yanmen, and then came the news that there was a Xiongnu army north of Yishui, before everything was over, it made people take a breath, Shanwucheng Cheng grabbed Peng Yi from Neiying, Peng Yi's confession, people's hearts, suddenly cold, fell to the trough.

It turned out that from the very beginning, it was all a blind method, whether it was the Xiongnu attacking Yanmen Mountain, Pingcheng, or north of Yishui, it was a blind way to confuse the public.

The real Xiongnu army is to move south from the Yunzhong Mountains.

And what is chilling is that this time, not only the Xiongnu army, but also Peng Yi's confession, also mentioned the Yueshi.

"This is definitely not a plan of the Huns!"

After Chang Wenjun read the bamboo slips, his eyes were worried, and he said in a heavy tone, turning his head to look at the location of Yanmen on the map, Chang Wenjun still has some understanding of the ability of the Huns, looking at the Xiongnu south, regardless of the location of the land, or forcing Bai Yan to lead the border cavalry to divide the troops, or the number of the Xiongnu army north of Yishui, one of them can be seen to be carefully prepared.

It was not the Huns who gave advice!

And

Peng Yi and Guo Yi also seem to confirm this, in the past, there must have been people in Zhao Di, people with very large power or scholars, who colluded with the Xiongnu behind the scenes.

"Yanmen is in danger!"

Chang Wenjun frowned and said, thinking of his eldest son Mi Jing, who was still in Yanmen at the moment, Chang Wenjun also felt worried and uneasy in his heart.

Previously, the king of Chu died of illness, and the eldest brother Changpingjun had rushed to Chu to mourn, and before the elder brother left, let him return to Xianyang.

Unexpectedly, I got such news now.

"Is there any news from the Yue's Clan?"

Wang Juan suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Si, he remembered that he had sent envoys to the Yueshi, why did the Yueshi suddenly let go of their hatred with the Xiongnu and deal with the Qin State.

Li Si looked at Wang Xuan, shook his head, and looked at the map.

"I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck!"

Li Si didn't say much, but behind a simple sentence, it means that the Yue clan may have already torn up the covenant and secretly colluded with the Huns.

"Lieutenant! Can Shangjun still transfer troops to help Yanmen? ”

In the midst of the conversation, Ying Zheng, who had been looking at the map silently, turned his head, looked directly at Wei Yu, and asked softly.

At this time, Ying Zheng's face was neither sad nor happy, and he couldn't see the appearance of being angry.

Perhaps this is why even Li Si, Kui Xiang and others, and even Wang Jian said in private that Ying Zheng was born to be the king of Qin, and he was born like this, no one can compare to Ying Zheng and be more suitable to be the throne of Qin.

"The camp of the upper county is still numbered by 50,000! However, more than half of them are new soldiers, and less than half of them can really be transferred to Yanmen, Weichen is worried that once Shangjun transfers troops to reinforce Yanmen, the Yueshi will return to the north of Shangjun in an instant, and go south from Gaonu again! ”

Wei Yu heard Ying Zheng's words and said to Ying Zheng.

Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Qianzhong, Bashu, the large armies stationed in these places must not be mobilized at the moment, the first three counties are closely related to the security of the north, and Qianzhong is close to the Chu State, and the land of Bashu cannot withdraw the army, and there will be a rebellion at any time when the army is withdrawn.

"If the king wants to increase his troops to rescue Yanmen, he can only find a way to recruit from the counties of Hedong, Hexi, and Yingchuan!"

Wei Yu said to Ying Zheng.

As one of the most important ministers of Ying Zheng, in order to keep Wei Yu, Ying Zheng not only ate with Wei Yi, but even lived together, it can be said that in order to keep Wei Yu, Ying Zheng even let go of his prestige as a king.

"But"

After Wei Yu said those counties, he looked at Yingzheng and hesitated, but still reminded him.

"Weichen is worried, once the king transfers troops to Yanmen, Yingchuan is afraid that there will be a bigger rebellion!"

Wei Yu said to Ying Zheng.

The army led by Wang Jian is mostly composed of the army of Hedong, Hexi and Taiyuan, and the army that was originally left in Hedong and Hexi is far less than in its heyday, and after the destruction of Korea, Yingchuan County was established, and many troops had to be transferred to Yingchuan to garrison, and the current situation in Yanmen, once the last troops were transferred to Yanmen, then Yingchuan, which was often in turmoil, would suddenly take the opportunity to rebel against the restless local scholars.

Faced with Wei Yi's reminder, but what everyone didn't expect was that Ying Zheng's face kept changing, his expression was full of hesitation, and finally made a decision that caught everyone off guard.

"Pass the widow's order, from Hedong, Hexi, and Shangjun, transfer troops to help Yanmen!!"

Ying Zheng looked at the map and ordered.

In a word, Kui Zheng, Wei Yi, Wang Xuan, and even Chang Wenjun all looked at Ying Zheng with shocked faces after hearing Ying Zheng's words, even Li Si was no exception, and Li Si's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt at this moment.

Two years! The king has been planning for two years, and if Yingchuan is in turmoil in advance, the opportunity to wait for two years will be lost in vain.

The king didn't expect this consequence. No, the king could never have imagined it, why was that?

Li Si thought about it, and suddenly looked at Chang Wenjun on the side.

Is it Chang Wenjun's eldest son, Mi Jing?

No, it's not Mi Jing, Mi Jing is not worthy of the king, even if Chang Wenjun is added.

It's Bai Yan!!

After Li Si suddenly thought of this, he turned his head, he was already half a hundred years old, and he was slightly old, looking at Yingzheng at the moment, for some reason, he felt a deep sense of crisis in his heart for the first time.

Once upon a time, the king attached great importance to him, and even let his daughter Li Si either marry the Ying clan or marry the son of the Qin State, and his son was no exception.

Therefore, even if Ying Zheng ate and lived with Wei Yi, Li Si did not feel the crisis when he saw it, and he was never worried that he would lose Ying Zheng's respect and favor.

But at the moment.

A sense of crisis suddenly appeared in Li Si's heart!

"Your Majesty! I hope the king will think twice! ”

"Your Majesty, this must not be the case!"

Kui Xiang, Wei Yu, and Wang Juan raised their hands and said, exhorting Ying Zheng to take back the king's order, and Wei Yu did not hesitate to take the King of Wei as an example, if it were not for the various actions of the King of Wei, the Wei State would not have changed from prosperity to decline.

Chang Wenjun also looked at Ying Zheng with surprise, and Chang Wenjun at this moment stood silently in place, not knowing how to speak.

Yu Li, Chang Wenjun knew that Wei Yu and others were right, it was not a wise move to send troops to aid Yanmen at this time, that is, in the face of this unadjustable situation, other vassal states could only rely on the guards to hold on, and would not easily transfer troops.

But in love, now the eldest son Mi Jing is still in Yanmen.

Inside the study.

As the words of persuasion from Kui Xiang, Wang Juan and others continued to sound, but no matter what everyone said, Ying Zheng shook his head.

"The widow's mind has been decided, Yanmen is a matter of success or failure in destroying Yan, if this time in Yingchuan County, if someone dares to rebel, the widow can destroy Han once, and can also destroy again!"

Ying Zheng said softly, then looked at the map.

"As for Shangjun, the danger of bringing Yanmen is lifted, and I will return to the division to rescue Shangjun, destroy Yan first, and then quell the chaos!" 、

While talking, Ying Zheng was telling Wei Yi, Kui Xiang and others that this time the deployment of troops to help was not only for Yanmen, but also for the destruction of Yan, Wang Jian and Xin Sheng are still leading the army of Qin and attacking Yan.

But this high-sounding reason fell into the ears of Li Si, Wei Yi and others in the study, and everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Obviously, no one believed Yingzheng's words.

The outside must be settled first!

Li Si and the others all understand this truth, how could Ying Zheng not understand, once something really happens to the three counties, even if they capture the Yan Kingdom, I am afraid they will not have time to take care of it.

"Chang Wenjun!"

Ying Zheng said.

"Wechen is here!"

Seeing this, Chang Wenjun stood next to the map and bowed to Yingzheng.

"This time the important task of leading troops to reinforce Yanmen, the widow will be fully entrusted to you, and you will dispatch soldiers and horses from the three counties to gallop to help Yanmen!"

Ying Zheng ordered.

Hearing Ying Zheng's order, Li Si, Wei Yi and others were not surprised, Ying Zheng had already decided to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the three counties to gallop to the aid of Yanmen County, it is enough to see the degree of attention he attaches to it, in this case, the general who can make Ying Zheng feel most at ease to lead the troops is none other than Chang Wenjun.

After all, Mi Jing is the eldest son of Chang Wenjun, and now Mi Jing, like Bai Yan, is still in Yanmen and serves as the supervisor of the imperial history.

If you want to lead troops to reinforce Yanmen, then Chang Wenjun will lead the army to reinforce, which is the best choice, and it will also be the most reassuring!

"Wechen obeys!"

Chang Wenjun heard Yingzheng's order and said.

After saying this, Chang Wenjun didn't know if he should breathe a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later.

With Ying Zheng's decision, the transfer of the army, as well as the situations that may arise in the future, must be discussed in advance to prepare.

After the discussion, Li Si, Wei Yi and others left the palace study one after another.

Walking under the tall eaves outside the palace hall, passing by the huge pillars and pillars, Wei Yu and the others shook their heads while chatting.

"This time the king's order is probably not a wise move!"

Wei Yu said, his eyes were vaguely worried, all along, Yingchuan has been in turmoil, and some local scholars have secretly troubled, causing the people to boil, and the people have been hostile to the Qin State.

Previously, large battalions were stationed in Hexi and Hedong, and there was no need to worry about a large-scale rebellion.

"Indeed, Si also thought so!"

Li Si listened to Wei Yi's emotion as he walked.

After glancing at Wei Yi, Li Si also shook his head and sighed.

"Si heard that Bai Yan was transferred back to Yanmen, thinking that the king was worried and suspicious, and he never thought about it."

Li Si said this, stopped, and looked at Wei Yi.

"If you think in your heart, there is no doubt that the position of the permanent attendant in the future will be Bai Yan, and there will be no one else!"

When he said that there was no one else, Li Si seemed to think of the beginning, at that time, he was also deeply valued by Ying Zheng, it can be said that at that time, the position of Ting Wei who was in charge of the entire Qin State Law and Cases was none other than him Li Si, and in fact, Ying Zheng never thought of handing over such important positions as Ting Wei to others except for him.

"The old man never thought that the king would be so important to Bai Yan!"

Wei Yi looked at Li Si and nodded with a sigh.

He didn't feel that in Ying Zheng's heart, how much weight was attached to the Bai family.

"It seems that the king didn't mind the Bai family's white rise in the first place!"

Wei Yi inadvertently sighed.

Wei Yu, who stopped, didn't notice that with his words, Li Si's face suddenly relaxed, and he seemed to be so full of worries as he had just now.

Wei Yu turned his head, looked at Chang Wenjun who was walking on the side, and raised his hands.

"Chang Wenjun, Wei Yu is presumptuous, although Mi Jing is in danger in Yanmen, but the soldiers of the three counties are not a matter of one person and one city, it is a matter of the three counties, the major affairs of the country, and the disaster of survival, so Wei Yu also hopes that Chang Wenjun will think about the safety of the three counties, and can ask Princess Mi to privately advise the king and let the king take back the king's order!"

Wei Yu said to Chang Wenjun.

Although he knew that Chang Wenjun's eldest son, Mi Jing, was not optimistic about the situation in Yanmen now, and if there were no reinforcements, it would be more auspicious, but Wei Yi stood in the position of Qin State, and he couldn't help but ask Chang Wenjun to let Princess Mi blow the wind in his ears, so that Ying Zheng could retract his mind.

If it were someone else, Wei Yu would not open his mouth to ask, but the person in front of him was Chang Wenjun.

In a flash.

Li Si, Kui Xiang, Wang Juan and the others all stopped, glanced at each other, and then looked at Chang Wenjun, not knowing if Chang Wenjun would agree.

Speaking of which, even if Chang Wenjun doesn't agree, they can all understand that people are not sages, and now they are serving as the eunuchs in Yanmen, but Chang Wenjun's eldest son, if they were them, they would not be able to watch their eldest sons and heirs trapped in Yanmen alive, besieged by the Huns and indifferent.

"Good!"

In the end, Chang Wenjun raised his hand and said a word, and after finishing speaking, he put down his hand and slowly left.

This scene moved Li Si, Wei Yi, Wang Juan and others, and even Wei Mi, looking at the back of Chang Wenjun leaving, all showed a look of shame on his face, and sighed for a long time.

Wei Yu knows that in the court of the Qin State, although the Chu family is feared, there is also no shortage of good ministers and talents, such as the current Chang Wenjun, which makes people sincerely admire, with these people, the chaos of the Qin State in the past was calmed down, and the Qin State was strong, and the disasters of the former countries were no longer restored.

At night.

In Wang Juan's mansion, when Bai Yu and Hu Lao learned what happened in Yanmen from Wang Juan's mouth, they were all surprised.

"What?"

Bai Yu shook his head, at this moment he finally understood why the king was so angry.

"Old Hu, three days later, Bai Yu wants to go out with the army!"

Bai Yu turned his head to look at Hu Lao and said with a worried face.

As the general who led the troops, Bai Yu knew better than Hu Lao and Wang Juan how dangerous Yanmen was and how serious the situation was.

"Your body?"

Hu Lao frowned and looked at Bai Yu.

"No problem!"

Bai Yu can't care so much, although in the court of the Qin State, he is a general with a general, but Bai Yu knows better than anyone else, now he, not to mention that it is difficult to be promoted to another knight, it is this life, I don't know when it will be gone, all along, he knows that he is a general who cannot go to the battlefield, although others dare to say, but this is the case, if it were not for the king's kindness, he Bai Yu, I am afraid that he would have returned to the Bai clan a long time ago.

Therefore, Bai Yu understands better than anyone that on the surface, he and Bai Yan have always been the pillars of the Bai clan, but in fact, the real pillar is only Bai Yan, who is leading the troops.

Whether it is Liyang, where the Ying clan lives, or Yongcheng in the Zongmiao, those people of the Ying clan, and even other scholars, famous families, and even the Feng family and the Yang family, respect the Bai family so much, and the reason why they are willing to make friends and even marry the Bai family is because of Bai Yan, who still has a chance to rise.

Therefore, at the moment, he really didn't worry about letting Changping Jun go alone to reinforce Yanmen.

Although he is not in good health, although he wants to go with his enemy Chang Wenjun, as long as Bai Yan can be rescued by this trip, even if he is killed by Chang Wenjun by seizing the opportunity, he is not willing to have no regrets.

"I'm afraid that the king will definitely not agree to General Bai to go!"

At this time, Wang Juan suddenly spoke, looking at Bai Yu.

Three days later.

After Princess Mi's admonition for several days to no avail, in the court, Ying Zheng announced the appointment of Chang Wenjun in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Chang Wenjun had to leave Xianyang on his way.

As for Bai Yu's request to go with the army, it was finally rejected by Ying Zheng, even with the help of Hu Lao, Ying Zheng still did not agree.

Looking at Bai Yu, who was lost and depressed, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, sighed, and asked the officials to continue to discuss political affairs.

Hu Lao can only give up.

Indeed, as Wang Juan said, Bai Yan is now besieged in Yanmen, how could the king agree to let Bai Yu go, everyone in the world says that Ying Zheng is a tyrant, but only the courtiers of Qin know that Ying Zheng is a person who misses the old, Bai Yu is one of the only two people in the Bai family, and Ying Zheng will not agree to Bai Yu and Bai Yan to appear on the battlefield together.

in the main hall.

Looking at Chang Wenjun's departure, the civil and military officials learned that a few days ago, the cause of Yingzheng's anger was because the Huns went south, everyone couldn't help but be secretly frightened, looking at Bai Yu with a worried face, among the hundred officials, there were ministers who regretted, ministers who gloated, and there were many people who watched the excitement.

After the next dynasty, almost all officials, whether they were officials or military generals, asked each other about the specific situation of Yanmen, although the king did not elaborate, but almost all officials knew that the anger of Yingzheng that day, and let Chang Wenjun lead the troops, these are enough to show that I am afraid that this time Yanmen there is more than auspicious.

Inside the city of Xianyang.

The appointment of Ying Zheng and the news came out of the mouths of officials, which also led to the fact that in just one day, the matter of the Xiongnu going south, with the spread, soon spread throughout the entire Xianyang City.

In the teahouses and restaurants, all the big officials and magnates, all the businessmen, and the scholars from Chu, Qi, and Wei all talked about it, and in their words, they couldn't wait to hear the news of Bai Yan's death.

And as the news passed from person to person, it gradually became outrageous, and it evolved to the back, from some people speculating that Bai Yan might be more auspicious this time, it directly turned into Bai Yan having died in Yanmen.

In the next two days, in the midst of countless discussions, in Xianyang City, a Qin official on horseback, holding a bamboo slip, hurriedly drove on the street, and rushed towards the palace in the avoidance of the people on the street.
