In the night, Ying Zheng, who had eaten dinner, came to the room of Princess Mi in the harem, lying next to the exquisite bed, unable to sleep for a long time, and the silence outside the room gave Ying Zheng a sense of anxiety.

I don't know how long it took.

"Your Majesty?"

Princess Mi saw Yingzheng get up again, and she was a little puzzled.

"It's hard for the widow to sleep, go to the study first, and then look at the book!"

Ying Zheng said.

Seeing this, Princess Mi also got up and came behind Ying Zheng and put on clothes for Ying Zheng.

For the Qi book in Ying Zheng's mouth, Princess Mi knows that those are the bamboo slips sent by Qi Guo, from the very beginning of the bamboo slips, until now, whenever he can't sleep, Ying Zheng will go to see those bamboo slips, which seems to have become Ying Zheng's habit.

"Concubine Mi doesn't have to go to the study with the widow!"

Ying Zheng got dressed and walked out of the room after speaking.

Princess Mi looked at Ying Zheng's back, sighed helplessly, her eyes were a little lonely, but then she was a little relieved, at least Ying Zheng's tone was still a little concerned.

"He's Yingzheng!"

Princess Mi murmured softly, why didn't she understand that Yingzheng treated her, after all, it was still affected by the word Chu, thinking of this, Princess Mi slowly walked back to the bed, not to disturb Yingzheng.

The other side.

In the dark of night, several maids with candles and lamps walked in front to lead the way, followed by Yingzheng, and seven or eight eunuchs followed behind.

As the study of Xianyang Palace, there are no less than 100 candles in the study, even if Ying Zheng is not there, they are all inextinguished, and its purpose is that if Ying Zheng has an emergency, he can summon the ministers of Qin at any time at night, or deal with political affairs.

In the study, Ying Zheng came to the wooden table, slowly knelt down and sat down, and after the eunuch brought the bamboo slips, he opened it again and looked at it.

It's been months.

But Ying Zheng has never received news from Mao Jiao and Yao Jia, and even after Qi Guohou Sheng, there is not the slightest thing about the old man.

Not only because of this old man, Ying Zheng saw the possibility of Qin State solving internal troubles in the future, but more importantly, he was afraid that the old man would appear in front of other princes and kings.

You must know that at present, the Qin State is about to attack Wei, and there will be a war with the Chu State sooner or later.

"Your Majesty!"

There was a sound of footsteps in the study, and Ying Zheng looked up and saw that Concubine Qi, who was wearing Qi costumes, had come to the study.

"Why didn't Concubine Qi sleep late at night?"

Ying Zheng looked at Concubine Qi and asked softly.

For this young, beautiful, and very sensible Concubine Qi, Ying Zheng has always been favored, and even in Ying Zheng's heart, even Concubine Qi is inferior.

"The concubine came to see the king!"

Concubine Qi didn't explain too much, she simply told Ying Zheng that she just wanted to come over and take a look.

"Come to the widow!"

After Ying Zheng glanced at Concubine Qi, he said to Concubine Qi, and then continued to look down at the bamboo slip.

With the sound of footsteps, Ying Zheng felt the faint fragrance of a woman beside him, turned his head to look at the woman in front of him, looked at himself, two slender hands were already on his shoulders, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh, during this time, it was rare to see Concubine Qi, but it was a little cold.

But there is no choice, now Changping Jun is already in Yingchen, for the Qin State to stabilize the situation in Yingchuan, in order to stabilize the officials of the Chu faction, as well as the clan relatives, whether it is before, or in the next few months, Yingzheng must show his attitude to everyone through Concubine Mi.

As the king of Qin, in fact, many times, Ying Zheng can't do what he wants.

"Did the Han Confessor tell you?"

Ying Zheng looked back at the bamboo slips.

Not long after Fang came to the study, Concubine Qi arrived, and Ying Zheng naturally knew Concubine Qi's careful thoughts about getting close to Concubine Han and Han Zhi.

"Han Yu knew that the king felt sorry for Princess Mi and was worried that the king was tired late at night, so he ordered someone to tell the concubine about the king going to the study alone late at night."

Concubine Qi obediently rubbed Yingzheng's shoulders with her slender hands.

Regarding Ying Zheng's inquiry, Concubine Qi not only did not deny it, but directly said Han Zheng's actions without concealment.

Inside the study.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything more, and Concubine Qi also served Ying Zheng quietly.

After a long time, as Ying Zheng finished reading the bamboo slips in his hand and was about to go to see another roll of bamboo slips, Concubine Qi looked at the wooden box in the distance, and her eyes moved.

"Your Majesty, why is there a wrap bag there?"

Concubine Qi looked not far away suspiciously, stretched out her hand and pointed curiously at the cloth bag next to the box of wooden boxes.

Ying Zheng heard Concubine Qi's words, looked at Concubine Qi beside her, where did she not know Concubine Qi's caution, she was rarely sleepy, and she couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of her mouth, she didn't speak, and after a few breaths, looking at Concubine Qi who was weak and bowed her head, she seemed embarrassed, Ying Zheng was really amused by Concubine Qi.

"Go and fetch it for the widow!"

Ying Zheng didn't bother to break it, and he knew that he was afraid that when Han Yu told Concubine Qi the news of his stay in the study, he also said about Bai Yan.

Concubine Qi obviously also wrote down this matter, and only then did she specially remind him, wanting him to take a look if he had leisure.

"No!"

Concubine Qi nodded at Ying Zheng, then got up, took the package, and then opened it at the wooden table.

Looking at the bag full of bamboo slips inside, Concubine Qi knew why Han Yan didn't dare to mention this matter, and her pretty face was a little crying and laughing, but Concubine Qi thought that Han Zhen had said that this bag was personally sent by Bai Yan and Hu Jin after dark, and Concubine Qi sighed in her heart.

It is estimated that there is a burial of Hu Lao!

Thinking that Han Zhen had been helping her before, this time it was all regarded as a repayment, and this was also a favor to General Hu Jin, hoping that one day, when she asked for Hu's, General Hu Jin would remember it.

"Your Majesty!"

Concubine Qi looked at the marking order of the bamboo slips, and after taking out the first roll of bamboo slips, she held the bamboo slips in both hands, learned the appearance of a eunuch, and bowed her head and handed it to Ying Zheng.

After all, she took the opportunity to propose this cloth wrap, and now that Ying Zheng is working hard, then she naturally has to let Ying Zheng look at it well.

Behind a wooden table.

Ying Zheng looked at Concubine Qi, then took the bamboo slip and spread his hands.

Ying Zheng also thought about the same as Concubine Qi, thinking that Bai Yan and Hu Jin came late at night, what they did was nothing more than Hu Quan's matter, after all, except for Hu Quan's matter, Ying Zheng couldn't think of what Bai Yan and Hu Jin would do to find him, Hu Jin had already returned to Xianyang, and if there was anything important, he would have reported it long ago, and Bai Yan was not in Yanmen before, and he was almost assassinated when he went to the border of Chu State, and he has been lurking at the border since then.

If it was an assassination, Bai Yan wanted to report it, and he had already ordered someone to report it.

Now.

The most likely thing is Hu Quan's matter, after all, if Yingzheng is not mistaken, in another day or two, Hu Quan's coffin will be sent to Luoyin for burial.

"Huh?"

However, with the thought in his mind, after the bamboo slip was opened, Ying Zheng looked at the words on it, which instantly made Ying Zheng show a surprised gaze, because what was written on it was the situation of the scholars of the Chu State.

As the bamboo slip looked down, the more Ying Zheng looked, the more serious his expression became, and the tiredness at the beginning had all dissipated at this moment.

Ying Zheng didn't expect that it was fundamentally different from what he imagined, where was Hu Quan's burial, and in this bamboo slip, it was all secrets related to the Chu State!

"Present it !!"

After reading the first volume, Ying Zheng hurriedly asked Concubine Qi to give him the second volume, and his expression had changed dramatically compared to the beginning.

Concubine Qi saw Ying Zheng's appearance, her pretty face was full of surprise, but then after hearing Ying Zheng's words, Concubine Qi also seemed to realize that these bamboo slips did not seem to be Hu Quan's business, thinking of this, Concubine Qi lowered her head and found the second volume, and then handed it to Ying Zheng with both hands.

"Peng Yicheng next to the Jiujiang River, Peng Qi, the ancestor of the Peng family, has 6,000 soldiers, and his son Peng Bo has had a conflict with Jing Qi, and Peng Qi and Xiong You have a private agreement before."

"Yugancheng, the hinterland of the granary of Chu State, Mi'an, the son of Mizong, uses the dense forest of Youwang and the grain of a hundred miles of Tibet, and transports it down along the Yuganshui to Jiujiang during the war."

"Xiyang City, an important place in the Chu State, its main general Fan Xiang's deputy generals, generals, Zeng Cheng, Hu Sun, Xi Shao, etc., a total of seven people, five of whom are Xiong You's henchmen, and the remaining two are Li Yuan's disciples, and Chengen Li Yuan was promoted."

"Zhongli City, along the Huaishui, seven hundred miles from the capital Shouchun, there are more than 4,000 soldiers of the Zhongli clan, and its branches Zhong Lichuan, Zhongli Hao and others are not satisfied with the Zhongli clan, and they have conspired with Li Yuan to seize the Zhongli clan, Li Yuan is dead, and he will be dismissed!"

Inside the study.

Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips, looking at the extremely detailed records of the Chu State, at this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of disbelief, and his expression was full of shock.

At this time, Yingzheng no longer had a trace of sleepiness.

Ying Zheng couldn't figure out where Bai Yan got these secret messages from.

If these news are fake, why can they be so detailed, so detailed that Ying Zheng can't find anything to question.

But if it's all true, then where did Bai Yan get these news?

One volume, two volumes, three volumes. Ten volumes, eleven volumes. More and more bamboo slips were scattered on the wooden table, and even until late at night, when the eunuch came to remind Ying Zheng that it was time to rest, Ying Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to it, looking at the rolls of bamboo slips.

"Your Majesty?"

After Concubine Qi saw Ying Zheng see a roll of bamboo slips, she suddenly got up and looked at Ying Zheng with surprise.

However, where can Ying Zheng still take care of Concubine Qi at this moment, when today, the biggest threat and the biggest obstacle left in the Qin State is the Chu State, since the fall of the Zhao State, Ying Zheng does not know how many days and nights, alone in the study looking at the map, looking at whether the Qin State can destroy the Chu State, watching when the Qin State will have the opportunity to send troops and fight a decisive battle with the Chu State, the odds of victory.

And for now.

Looking at these bamboo slips, from the distribution of private soldiers in captivity by the Chu State scholars at the beginning, to the people who can rebel in the Chu State in the back, the distribution of the defenders of the Chu State, the location of the grain and grass of the Chu State, the location where the Qin State can attack the Chu State, where the grain and grass of the Qin State are transported from, and which way to attack the Chu State.

It is no exaggeration to say that as the King of Qin, this is the most complete strategy that Ying Zheng has ever seen to destroy Chu, and on the basis of this strategy to destroy Chu, there are nearly 20 volumes of bamboo slip records, which makes Ying Zheng a little trance and can't believe it.

If it's all true, Yingzheng feels that it will be extinguished, and it is just around the corner.

In this way, how can Ying Zheng not pay attention to it.

Next to the map.

Ying Zheng held the bamboo slip while looking at the location of the Chu State on the map from time to time.

"Attack Chu here, gain momentum, Chu troops."

Ying Zhengdang looked at the detailed offensive position on the bamboo slip, as well as the time of deduction, and there was almost no mistake at all.

"Bring the rest!"

After Ying Zheng finished reading it, his expression was full of excitement, and he hurriedly asked Concubine Qi to bring the remaining bamboo slips.

Concubine Qi didn't know where things were far beyond her imagination at the beginning, these bamboo slips were likely to be related to the situation in the Qin State and even the world, so she hurriedly took the remaining two bamboo slips, walked to Ying Zheng's side in small steps, and handed them over to Ying Zheng.

When Ying Zheng finished reading the last two volumes of bamboo slips, he looked at Bai Yan in the bamboo slips, writing his opinions on the Chu State and telling the things that the Qin State needed to pay attention to if he wanted to destroy Chu.

Ying Zheng was in a trance.

For a long time, not to mention the vast majority of officials in the court, they did not support him to send troops to attack the Chu State, even those small Qin officials such as Meng Wu, Li Si, Wang Xuan, and Li Xin who had always supported him in sending troops to attack the Chu State, and no one had ever given him bamboo slips that recorded the power of the Chu State in such detail as these.

Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at a table in the distance, more than ten volumes of bamboo slips were placed on it, Ying Zheng was shocked, and his head was a little dazed.

These are all written by Bai Yan himself?

Ying Zheng doesn't understand, hasn't Bai Yan always been at the border of Qin and Chu? Why did he let Bai Yan go to the Qin-Chu border, pay attention to the actions of the Chu State, and see if there was a chance to lead the troops to attack the Chu State, but Bai Yan just came back, and brought him so much incomparably detailed information, as well as the methods to destroy Chu, and the matters that need to be paid attention to.

At this moment, Ying Zheng thought that when Bai Yan was still on the border of Qin and Chu before, the Chu State had already sent people to sue for peace, and the entire court, including him, the King of Qin, agreed to the conditions offered by the Chu State and negotiated peace with the Chu State.

After all, the news of Bai Yan's southward journey leaked at the beginning and was learned by the Chu State, and later when Qin and Chu negotiated peace, there was no bigger war, Bai Yan In such a situation, no one thought that Bai Yan could gain anything, and the same was true for him Yingzheng.

outcome

Seeing these bamboo slips now, Ying Zheng felt a little in a trance, couldn't believe his eyes, and even felt a little ridiculous in his heart, Ying Zheng asked, Bai Yan copied the family background of Chu State, or became the king of Chu State, you must know that there are many things that can only be known if you are the king of Chu, this time all of them were written by Bai Yan in the bamboo slips, and they were brought back and sent to him.

Bai Yan!

Bai Yan!!

Thinking of the young man's appearance, Ying Zheng was shocked again.

"Come on, summon Bai Yan into the palace to meet the widow!"

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, and after relieving himself, he ordered without hesitation.

Right now, Ying Zheng must ask Bai Yan in person, whether these news are true, if they are true, Ying Zheng knows that all the previous plans can be completely overturned, and the two bamboo slips that Bai Yan determined to destroy Chu alone were enough for him to discuss with Wei Yi, Kui Zheng and others, whether to destroy Wei or Chu first.

"Your Majesty, it's already late at night, compared to General Bai Yan, who has already rested, why don't the king summon General Bai Yan into the palace tomorrow to meet you?"

Concubine Qi stood beside Ying Zheng, looking at Ying Zheng with a serious face, her eyes were full of thought, and when she heard that Ying Zheng was going to summon Bai Yan at this time, she thought about it, and still spoke out to persuade her, after all, Ying Zheng had been busy all day without rest, and if it went on like this, even she was worried that Ying Zheng's body was too tired.

"The widow can't wait!"

Ying Zheng looked at the map and shook his head.

At this moment, in addition to being shocked, Ying Zheng was also happy, fortunately, Concubine Qi let him take a look, otherwise he didn't know when he would be able to see these bamboo slips.

Come to think of it.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but scold Bai Yan in his heart, such an important matter was not presented in person.

This Bai Yan !!

Ying Zheng shook his head, his expression was full of solemnity, and while blaming Bai Yan, he thought that Bai Yan could actually bring so much news, which made Ying Zheng love and hate for a while, and in the end, he could only turn into a sigh.

No matter what, you have to talk about Bai Yan later.

Such an important matter, Bai Yan wrote it in a bamboo slip without saying a word, threw it in the package, and sent it to the palace???

This Bai Yan.

Hu Mansion.

At night, at the door of the quiet mansion, several servants dressed in white yawned tiredly in the candlelight.

However, as the servants were talking softly, they suddenly saw a burst of fire in the distant street, followed by the sound of many footsteps.

A moment later.

When he saw the palace guards holding torches and escorting a carriage to come, the servants guarding the gate of Hufu hurriedly glanced at it at any time, not understanding whether those people were coming to Hufu or passing by.

It wasn't until he saw those palace guards and carriages slowly stopping in front of the gate that the servants were sure that they were coming to Hufu, so they hurriedly let one of them go in to report it.

Inside the Hu Mansion.

On this night, Hu Wujing, who was the night watchman, got the news and brought his servants to the courtyard.

"Han Zhizhi!"

After waiting for a while, when he saw Han Yu who followed the servants to the courtyard, Hu Wujing hurriedly raised his hand to salute.

When Han Wujing saw Hu Wujing, he also raised his hand to return the salute, looking at Hu Wujing in mourning clothes, Han Wujing also showed sadness, and he and Hu Quan were also old acquaintances.

"The king wants to summon General Bai Yan!"

Han Yu did not disturb too much, and bluntly informed Hu Wujing of the purpose of this trip, Hu Mansion coincided with a funeral, and it was not appropriate to be disrespectful to the deceased, which is why Han Yu specially did not bring anyone into Hu Mansion.

"Good! Please! ”

Hu Wujing nodded, then turned around and walked towards the backyard with Han Chen.

Han Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, fortunately he thought that General Hu Jin sent Bai Yan to the palace gate, so he guessed that Bai Yan was in Hu Mansion, not Bai Mansion.

Follow behind Hu Wujing.

After walking for a while, Han Yu and Hu Wujing saw Hu Jin, who had already received a report from the servants and had already dressed up.

"Han Zhizhi!"

When Hu Jin saw Han Zhen, he noticed that behind Han Zhen, there was not a single palace maid, eunuch, or guard, and Hu Jin naturally knew why.

Thinking of this, Hu Wujing raised his hand to salute Han Yu with gratitude.

This attention made Hu Jin feel warm.

"General Hu Jin doesn't have to be polite, the king is still waiting for General Bai Yan in the palace, please take me to see General Bai Yan!"

Han replied with a salute.

Hu Jin nodded, and after glancing at Hu Wujing, he motioned for Hu Wujing to go to the vigil, and handed it over to him here.

"Please!"

Hu Wujing nodded, turned to leave, and Hu Jin motioned to Han Yu to follow him.

"There is labor!"

Han Zheng nodded, and then the two walked and talked, and after a while, under the guidance of the maid holding a candle lamp, Hu Jin and Han Zheng came to the door of a room, knocked on the door, and gently pushed the door open.

The maid also hurried into the room at this time and lit the candles in the room.

"Han Zhizhi!"

At this time, Bai Yan, who was sleeping on the bed, heard the movement, and woke up dimly, and after supporting his body, he saw that it was Han Yan who arrived, so he quickly got up and walked off the bed, and bowed to Han Yan.

"General Bai, the king summoned you, you are waiting in the study at the moment, and please enter the palace to meet the king quickly!"

Han Yan arched his hand and said, looking at Bai Yan's tired and bloodshot eyes, Han Yan could naturally see Bai Yan's tiredness, and he also knew that Bai Yan probably hadn't rested for long, but when he thought that the king was waiting in the palace at this moment, Han Yan had no choice, no matter how tired Bai Yan was, he had to go to the palace immediately, and he couldn't let the king wait for a long time.

You must know that the king has not rested all day.

If it weren't for the sake of Jiang Bai Yan, Wang should have rested on this matter a long time ago.

"Okay, there's a Lao Han Counselor!"

Bai Yan heard that Ying Zheng was going to see him, although his expression did not show surprise, but there was also a trace of surprise in his heart, Bai Yan did not expect that Ying Zheng would see those bamboo slips today, and he would summon him late at night.

"Go ahead!"

Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan's eyes, nodded slowly, and asked Bai Yan to leave quickly, go early and return early.

After seeing the bamboo slips, Hu Jin naturally knew why Yingzheng was so anxious to see Bai Yan, he was outside the palace, if he didn't know that Bai Yan was too tired, Hu Jin would not have taken Bai Yan back to the house to rest first.

Bai Yan nodded, searched Hu Jingong, put on his clothes, and then followed Han Yu towards the outside of the room, and rushed to the Xianyang Palace in the night.

Thank you for your monthly passes, recommended tickets, thank you, bring a knife and kneel down to thank all the book friends.

I have been unwell for the past two days with a knife, and my wife with a knife is also uncomfortable, and when I take care of my family, the update may not be timely, sorry.
