Chapter 499: Ying Zheng's Intentions
At night.
Bai Yan and Han Yan rode in the carriage of the palace, escorted by the palace guards all the way, and summoned them late at night, this honor is in the Qin State, and few people can get it.
After coming to the gate of the palace, Bai Yan and Han Yu hurriedly entered the palace and hurried to the study of the main hall.
In the huge and vast open field in the palace, twelve maids led the way in front of them with candles, the breeze blew, the candles fell, Bai Yan glanced at the stars and moons in the night sky, and then endured sleepiness while walking.
Walking through a hundred steps, bypassing the main hall, all the way to the study, the maids and eunuchs all stopped.
Only Han Yu and Bai Yan entered the study.
Inside the study.
After Bai Yan followed Han Yu in, he saw Ying Zheng behind the innermost wooden table at the moment, looking at the bamboo slips.
The princess behind him, when Bai Yan was helping Yingzheng deal with the bamboo slips in the study, he had occasionally met a few times, if Bai Yan was not mistaken, the princess was Concubine Qi.
The reason why Bai Yan has such a deep memory and can be recognized at a glance is that Bai Yan is a Qi person, and he lives in the suburbs and mountains not very far from Linzi, when he was in Qi State, when Concubine Qi had not yet married into Qin State, in the village, many villagers, whether they were young or middle-aged men, or old men, when talking about this Princess Yanchan of Qi State, they could not boast anymore, if any villager could be lucky enough to see Princess Yanchan's carriage in Linzi City, even if it was far away, it was enough to make the villagers excited for a long, long time. Even as a talking point in the past few years, or even more than ten years.
When I heard that this Princess Zhenchan was married to the Qin State, many people still can't forget it for a long time, even Bai Yan has heard of it, Princess Zhenchan's reputation is very good, not to mention her beauty, she is also kind and intelligent, and everyone loves her.
"Your Majesty!"
He had been walking in the study, and when he came to a place not far from the wooden table, Bai Yan stopped with Han Yu, and at this moment, Bai Yan could see at a glance that the bamboo slips on the wooden table were all the bamboo slips he had sent before, and they were all written down by him about what Xiong You and Li Yuan said.
"General Bai has been brought!"
Han Zheng slowly saluted Ying Zheng, signaling that Bai Yan had been brought, and after seeing Ying Zheng look up, Han Yan slowly retreated and turned around to leave the study.
"Weichen Bai Yan, meet the king!"
After Bai Yan waited for Han Yu to leave, he raised his hand and saluted Yingzheng.
In the quiet study, it wasn't until a few breaths later that Yingzheng's voice came.
"Where did the news in this bamboo slip come from?"
Without too much nonsense, Ying Zheng asked the most important question concisely and directly, and that is where these messages come from.
When Ying Zheng finished saying this, he tilted his head slightly.
And Concubine Qi, who had been rubbing Ying Zheng's shoulders, slowly got up very well and told Ying Zheng that she was going to prepare warm soup, before leaving, Concubine Qi and Bai Yan glanced at each other, saluted each other, and walked towards the outside of the study after the ceremony.
Bai Yan looked sideways at the back of Concubine Qi leaving beside her, and turned her head to look at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng saw Concubine Qi leave.
"Is this true?"
Ying Zheng frowned, and looked at Bai Yan with a serious gaze.
Even at this moment, Ying Zheng still couldn't believe that Bai Yan could bring back so much news for him when he went to the Qin-Chu border, you know, Bai Yan is not Yao Jia, the biggest difference between Bai Yan and Yao Jia is that Bai Yan leads the elite soldiers of the Qin State, and these soldiers follow Bai Yan on the battlefield to fight bravely and expand the territory for the Qin State.
And Yao Jia took the car given by his Yingzheng to ride 10,000 gold, captive the doormen, buy and buy fine works, and specially used them for discord, assassination, co-optation and other means to provide news for the Qin State.
This is also why when Bai Yan went south, the news leaked and he was almost assassinated, if he was replaced by Yao Jia, this kind of thing would definitely not happen.
What is good is different, and what is done is different.
This is also the biggest difference between Bai Yan and Yao Jia, one holds the ten thousand gold of the Qin State, and the other holds the elite of the Qin State.
The results are now.
The general who held the elite army of the Qin State went to the Qin-Chu border and was almost assassinated.
This makes Ying Zheng think, and if Yao Jia knows, how will he think.
Previously, how much money he gave Yao Jia, how many customers and meticulous work Yao Jia secretly raised, and how many connections and power he expanded among the vassal states, the number of cars spent on these alone was an astronomical amount.
It's good now, Bai Yan, a person who doesn't have a lot of money and is not responsible for traveling around the six countries, just went to the border and brought back the news that Yao Jia spent countless money and couldn't bring it back for several years.
Such a ridiculous thing even gave Ying Zheng a delusion.
What else does he need Yao Jia for Yingzheng, why do he spend so much money, seeing that Bai Yan doesn't want anything, he can bring back so much news to him.
"Back to the king, this news is true, Weichen has ordered someone to verify it, and after returning to Xianyang, Bai Yan has ordered an agent to go to the granary of Chu State, if the news is true, it can be burned at any time!"
Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng's words and slowly bowed his hand.
As the leading general of the Qin State, Bai Yan knew that if the Qin State was at war with the Chu State, the first thing was to destroy the granary of the Chu State, otherwise the Chu State would use its vast land to fight with the Qin State in depth, and the Qin State would lose the number of soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that the Qin State would be difficult to bear.
At this moment, Bai Yan didn't understand Yingzheng's thoughts, so he didn't think much about it.
"Who is this man?"
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan's salute, and when he heard Bai Yan personally guarantee that these news were true, his heart was shocked, even if he was prepared, Ying Zheng couldn't help but tremble slightly at this moment.
This is enough news to bring down the state of Chu!!
Ying Zheng didn't dare to imagine how much trouble and disaster it would bring to the Qin State if it was changed to the Qin State, and all the granaries, garrisons, and gaps would be known in such detail by the other vassal states.
"This person is Xiong Yu and Li Yuan's henchmen!"
Bai Yan looked at Ying Zheng and raised his hand: "Previously, Xiong Yu and Li Yuan, as early as when Youwang was seriously ill, planned to prevent Xiong Yingshu, but unfortunately Xiong Yu finally succeeded to the throne, and before Li Yuan could attack Xiong Yingshu and his henchmen, he was assassinated by Jing Qi of the Jing family, and Li Yuan's family was all wiped out."
In the study, Bai Yan found an excuse to prevaricate in the past, as long as these news are true, then who gives this news is not important to Ying Zheng, if there is really a day when the Chu State is destroyed, Bai Yan can completely bring people to Ying Zheng and accept Ying Zheng's reward.
Later, under Ying Zheng's questioning, Bai Yan told all the things from being assassinated in the south to going to Shouchun in Chu State, only the matter of his little uncle and Ban Ding was reserved.
It was also at this time that Ying Zheng learned that Bai Yan actually ventured to Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, in order to find out the news.
"Such a rash move, are you not afraid of being recognized by the people of Chu?"
Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Bai Yan, and was shocked, when he thought that Bai Yan actually went to Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, Ying Zheng didn't know what to say, Bai Yan didn't know if he was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Back to the king, Weichen led the troops on the battlefield, life and death have long been accustomed to it, and going to Shouchun is thousands of times better than the battlefield!"
Bai Yan thought about it and explained with a smile, signaling Ying Zheng not to worry, but when he was halfway through, his voice was a little hoarse.
Ying Zheng naturally could see Bai Yan's tired appearance, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked at so many bamboo slips in front of him, for a while, Ying Zheng was a little dumbfounded, and he wanted to blame Bai Yan for not showing his face and not taking it to heart, and he couldn't speak for a while.
After all, after learning what had happened, Ying Zheng knew better than anyone else that Bai Yan could have not taken this risk on this trip, let alone go to the hinterland of Chu State to inquire about the news.
Bai Yan knew that the purpose of letting him go to the Qin-Chu border was to deal with the Chu State, if Bai Yan really didn't take his words to heart in his heart, where would there be these bamboo slips now.
More than 20 rolls of bamboo slips! It's all Chu secrets!
Come to think of it.
Ying Zheng only had a trace of dissatisfaction, glanced at Bai Yan, and then disappeared, and from beginning to end, Ying Zheng's gaze at Bai Yan was as heavy and trusting as before.
Behind a wooden table.
Ying Zheng thought of the bamboo slip he had been looking at when Bai Yan didn't come, so he slowly got up.
Bypassing the wooden table, under Bai Yan's sideways way, Ying Zheng came to the widest map in the middle of the study, looking at the two huge territories of Qin and Chu.
"Bai Yan!"
Ying Zheng looked at the map and asked softly: "With these, if you are allowed to destroy Chu, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" ”
After asking, Yun Zheng patiently waited for Bai Yan's answer, for this young man next to him who was much younger than Li Xindu, when the Qin State attacked the Zhao State, it was Yun Zheng who ruled out the public and let Bai Yan serve as a deputy general, once this decision, let the court Chinese military officials, the blockers are still countless, even Li Si, Kui Zhuang, Wei Yi and others also saw the horseshoe nails and stirrups in advance, considering that it can have a miraculous effect, so they did not refute this decision in the court.
All the fundamental reasons are because of Bai Yan's age.
Bai Yan is too young, there are a few people in the world, at Bai Yan's age, who command so many elite soldiers and horses.
Now.
Ying Zheng stood by the map in the middle of the night, and still asked this sentence that was enough to shock the world.
How many soldiers and horses does Bai Yan need before he can be sure of destroying the Chu State!!
If the last time he sent a large army to attack Zhao and wanted to destroy Zhao, Ying Zheng made Bai Yan the deputy general of the army, then at the moment, Ying Zheng obviously had already moved the mind of letting Bai Yan lead the troops to destroy Chu, just like these bamboo slips were brought back by Bai Yan, maybe Bai Yan would also give him Ying Zheng and bring unexpected surprises to the Qin State.
"The king said that he would destroy Chu, is it to attack Shouchun and destroy the king of Chu, or"
Bai Yan paused as he spoke, and looked at Ying Zheng with some doubts.
"All the few will be destroyed!"
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan's gaze, turned his head to look at the location of Chu State on the map, and did not wait for Bai Yan to finish speaking, he did not hesitate to speak.
Next to the map, Bai Yan, who was standing next to Ying Zheng, heard Ying Zheng's words, glanced at the map again, and pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty, if there is a minimum of 300,000 or a maximum of 600,000 troops, it is not possible to destroy the Chu State for at least a year! It will take ten years to pacify the state of Chu! ”
Bai Yan lowered his head and said his answer.
This answer is the result of Bai Yan's countless thoughts, and this is what he dared to say only after getting the news from Xiong Yu and Li Yuan.
The more he understood the State of Chu, the more jealous Bai Yan became, and the more he understood why in later generations, General Wang Jian had to have an army of 600,000 in the matter of destroying the State of Chu.
Bai Yan guessed that Wang Jian must also know that if he could not destroy most of the forces of Chu before the decisive battle, Qin would not even be qualified to fight a war of law and order in front of the forces of the Chu clan, and Li Xin should only consider the battlefield in the future, and simply want to lead the troops to attack Shouchun and capture the king of Chu, but did not consider other aspects.
As a veteran general of the older generation, General Wang Jian obviously thinks more about things outside the battlefield.
"What is 300,000 and what is 600,000?"
It was the first time for Ying Zheng to hear such a huge gap, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Bai Yan curiously.
"300,000, the right time, place and people, all of them are indispensable! 600,000, the battle of national strength! ”
Bai Yan said to Ying Zheng, the grasp of 300,000 is not the same as the grasp of 600,000, 300,000 soldiers and horses attack Chu State, you need to wait for the opportunity, and the opportunity may not be there, and the 600,000 army to attack Chu State can rely on national strength, exhaust the grain and millet of Chu State, and deplete the treasury, and then Qin State's chances of victory will naturally increase greatly.
The former is a little presumptuous and risky, and the latter is Bai Yan's method of borrowing from Wang Jian to deal with the Chu State, which has a lot of loss, but it is also safe, and he can also use the news in the bamboo slips.
"Human?"
Ying Zheng heard Bai Yan's explanation, fell silent, and then looked at the map and thought quietly.
Bai Yan stood beside Ying Zheng, didn't say a word, and stood quietly with Ying Zheng.
In the study, the countless candles flickered slightly, and by the silent window, in the night, it seemed that the grass and trees in the palace were blown by the sound of a strong wind.
"Those people's appetites will only gradually increase, just like carrion insects, if they exist under my Qin country, they can't wait to get rid of them!"
After a long time, Ying Zheng spoke again, and this time, Ying Zheng's expression was no longer as excited as before, after all, when he saw the bamboo slip presented by Bai Yan, Ying Zheng felt that he really saw the hope of destroying Chu, but Bai Yan's words made Ying Zheng solemn again.
Ying Zheng has served as the king of Qin for so many years, and he is in charge of the Qin State, where can he not hear the people in Bai Yan's mouth, and what does it mean.
"Your Majesty, it is far easier for the Chu people to deal with the Chu people than the Qin people! The same will be true for the governance of Chu in the future! ”
Bai Yan thought for a moment and replied softly, looking at Ying Zheng.
Bai Yan has already found out the news, and now it depends on how Ying Zheng decides, whether to give up a small part of the benefits to those people, or to consume the national strength of the Qin State at any cost, and spend years or even decades of huge governance costs.
Bai Yan leaned towards the former, but the person who made the final decision was Yingzheng.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, three eunuchs came to the gate, and these three eunuchs were holding a wooden plate with several rolls of bamboo slips placed on it, and Han Yan glanced at Bai Yan at this moment, and then looked at Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng still looked at the map, his face thoughtful, his expression full of struggle and hesitation.
"On a wooden table!"
Ying Zheng saw the bamboo slips on the wooden plate, and instructed Han Zhi, and then did not continue to pay attention.
After Bai Yan glanced at those eunuchs, he felt that the eyes of Han Yan looking at him were a little strange, and before Bai Yan could think of anything, Yingzheng's voice came from his side again.
"Bai Yan, according to what you said, should the widow be the first to attack Chu or destroy Wei?"
Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Ying Zheng looking at the map, with a serious expression, Bai Yan raised his hand after thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, Bai Yan thinks that Wei will be destroyed first, and then Chu will be destroyed!"
Bai Yan replied, mentioning the Wei State, Bai Yan immediately thought of the son Wei Fake who had a grudge against him at the beginning, and now the King of Wei is fake.
As Bai Yan's words fell, Ying Zheng was silent, turned his head to look at Bai Yan, and then continued to look at the map.
"The widow wants to let Ling and Wang Ben lead the troops to destroy Wei!"
Ying Zheng said softly, this is something that Ying Zheng had already thought about when he was waiting for Bai Yan to come to the palace.
Bai Yan was very surprised when he heard Ying Zheng's words, looking at Ying Zheng's direct gaze, where did he not understand what Ying Zheng meant, and his heart was not warm It was a lie, Wei was far less threatening than Chu in front of Qin, how many officials in the court wanted to get this opportunity.
But, thinking of Hu Lao's burial
"Your Majesty!"
Bai Yan took a deep breath and arched his hand at Ying Zheng.
"Wechen once received the favor of Hu Quan, and now that Hu Lao has passed away, Wechen wants to go to Luoyin to guard the tomb of Hu Lao for a period of time! Now I want to ask the king to resign! ”
Bai Yan didn't know if Ying Zheng would approve his request, and Bai Yan didn't expect that Ying Zheng would plan to let him lead his troops to attack Wei, but right now, Hu Lao had sheltered him several times, and now that he has died, the man has done something and has not done anything, compared to the credit of destroying Wei, Bai Yan is more willing to guard the tomb for Hu Lao.
Without him, I don't want to regret my delay when I think about it in the future.
Inside the study.
Not far away, let the two eunuchs bring a small wooden table, stretched out his hand and slowly took out a roll of bamboo slips from the wooden plate in the hands of the three eunuchs, and put it on the wooden table.
Obviously, the intention of Yingzheng's promotion was so obvious, Han Yan couldn't figure out why Bai Yan refused.
If other generals can destroy Wei this time, Bai Yan wants to lead his troops to destroy Wei in the future, I am afraid that he will have no chance, just to guard the tomb for Hu Quan, is it worth it?
You know, no matter how many generals ask for this opportunity, they can't ask for this opportunity.
"Guarding the tomb?"
Ying Zheng looked sideways at the young man who bowed to him, with a surprised expression, Ying Zheng didn't understand, could it be that in Bai Yan's eyes, the matter of Hu Lao's mausoleum was so important?
Ying Zheng thought about it, his eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the young man, and he inadvertently saw Han Zheng looking over in front of the wooden table in the distance, and when he saw Han Zheng, he quickly turned his head and continued to place the bamboo slips.
At this time.
Ying Zheng's eyes returned to the one in front of him again, the young man who had traveled thousands of miles from Qi to Qin State, thinking of the things in Gao Nu and Yunzhong, when he turned his head to look at the map, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a touch of relief.
In the end, Ying Zheng said something that shocked everyone present.
"After guarding the tomb, can you destroy Wei?"
Ying Zheng asked.
A sentence sounded in the study, and almost instantly made Bai Yan, who bowed his head and salute, immediately raised his head, and his eyes, which were guilty, looked at Ying Zheng with surprise at the moment.
How could Bai Yan not understand the meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
Han Yu not far away, as well as Concubine Qi who came over with hot soup outside the door of the study, were all stunned when they heard Yingzheng's words at this moment, and even all the maids and eunuchs inside and outside the study lowered their heads one after another.
In the palace for so many years, all of them, when have they ever seen Yingzheng spoil a minister of the Qin State so much, and this minister is still a general.
If this is spread, I am afraid that no one will dare to believe it.
"Definitely!"
Bai Yan saluted Ying Zheng.
Thinking of the way Wang Ben captured Daliang in the later generations, Bai Yan looked at Yingzheng in front of him, no matter what he did this time, he would not live up to Yingzheng's expectations, Wei State, he would definitely capture Yingzheng with his own hands.
"Bai Yan!"
Ying Zheng turned around and faced Bai Yan.
"The widow waits for you for half a month, and after half a month, the widow will order you to be the main general, remember this time, you must be a widow and destroy the Wei country!"
Ying Zheng's eyes full of majesty looked directly at Bai Yan, he believed that Bai Yan helped him destroy the Zhao State, but as a result, Bai Yan not only fought with Li Mu, but also fought a battle in the back, even General Wang Jian was repeatedly amazed, and now, he believes in Bai Yan more than at the beginning.
"No!"
Bai Yan faced Ying Zheng's eyes, and replied seriously: "Bai Yan, you will definitely live up to the king's order!" ”
Seeing this, Ying Zheng walked past Bai Yan and walked straight back to the wooden table, just at this time, Concubine Qi and a few maids had already served hot and warm soup.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, and Wechen will leave first! Your Majesty, please rest early! ”
Seeing this, Bai Yan said goodbye to Yingzheng and prepared to leave.
"The widow has ordered someone to prepare food for you, and then leave the palace when you have a full stomach!"
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan and did not let Bai Yan leave, but Bai Yan accompanied him to eat, and motioned Bai Yan to go to the small wooden table where Han Yan put the bamboo slips.
"Thank you, the king!"
Seeing this, Bai Yan bowed his hand to Ying Zheng and thanked him, then came to the small wooden table, glanced at Han Zhen, and slowly knelt down and sat down.
"Bai Yan, you can use the soup while taking a look at those bamboo slips!"
Ying Zheng watched Concubine Qi take the soup soup and put it on the wooden table, and after kneeling down and sitting down, he looked at Bai Yan and said, while speaking, Ying Zheng himself picked up a roll of Qi Jian and opened it again.
"No!"
After Bai Yan knelt down and sat down, he heard Ying Zheng's words, and was about to reach out to take it for Ying Zheng, but he just touched the bamboo slip and didn't wait to mention it.
"General Bai Yan, this is the bamboo slips specially prepared for you by the king, these bamboo slips are all cast by the famous bull riding old man in Qi Kingdom! The scholars of the whole world outside are hard to find! ”
Seeing Bai Yan's actions, Han Yan glanced at Ying Zheng, then turned his head and whispered to Bai Yan, telling Bai Yan how valuable these bamboo slips were, and worried that Bai Yan and the others would say something that should not be said in case they said something, after all, this is Ying Zheng's favorite Qi Jian.
At this moment, Han Yan's eyes looking at Bai Yan were unprecedentedly emotional, and in the palace for so many years, Han Yan had never seen Ying Zheng He once favored a person so much, and even Qi Jian, who had been cherished in the past, was taken out to show Bai Yan, and the meaning of this weight could not be more obvious.
Ying Zheng clearly wants to cultivate Bai Yan as a pillar and even a prime minister.
This is even Ying Kan, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Xin, and even Li You, the son of Li Si, have not yet been treated!
"Ahh
Bai Yan was surprised when he heard Han Yan's words, and then glanced at the bamboo slips that his palm touched, and then quickly got up, bypassed the wooden table, and saluted Ying Zheng.
"Weichen, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bai Yan said.
"Get up! Qi Jian can only look at it, and must not take it out of the study! How much you can comprehend depends on your talent! ”
Ying Zheng said to Bai Yan while drinking the soup fed by Concubine Qi, looking at Bai Yan's appearance, Ying Zheng thought that Bai Yan was excited, so he didn't care, and continued to look back at the bamboo slip in his hand.
In Ying Zheng's heart, he was actually very sure that Bai Yan had not seen those bamboo slips, after all, whether it was Mao Jiao going to Qi to investigate, or Bai Yan's original complaint, there was no deviation, that is, Bai Yan had not been in contact with Tian Feiyan for a long time, so he was driven out of Qi by Tian Ding.
In such a situation, I want to know that Bai Yan will never know about these bamboo slips, you know, let alone such a short time, Bai Yan is an outsider, even the woman's father, Tian Ding, a relative of the Tian family, has never known about this matter.
"General Bai Yan doesn't want to live up to the king's wishes!"
Concubine Qi was also beside Ying Zheng at this time, her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan, and said with a smile, looking at Bai Yan's eyes, full of closeness.
"Weichen will live up to the king's wishes, and he is willing to bow to the essence of the king, and die!"
Bai Yan heard Concubine Qi's words, looked at Ying Zheng again, and said.
"Excuse me! Take a seat, run all the way, and rest earlier, don't hurt your body! ”
Ying Zheng glanced at Concubine Qi beside him, saw Concubine Qi hurriedly lowered her head, turned her head to look at Bai Yan's tired expression, and hurriedly asked Bai Yan to eat quickly, and went back to rest after eating.
"No!"
Bai Yan saluted again before he slowly got up, looked at Ying Zheng, who had been looking at the bamboo slips seriously, and then looked at Concubine Qi, who was full of close smiles, Bai Yan nodded slightly, lowered his head, and walked back to the wooden table.
Inside the study.
As Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips, Bai Yan also looked at the 'bamboo slips' while eating the soup.
In the quiet atmosphere, it wasn't until a long time later that Bai Yanfang wanted to realize that the hour was not early, so he hurriedly put down the bamboo slips and said goodbye to Yingzheng.
"General Bai almost forgot that the hour was not early!"
After Concubine Qi saw Han Yan sending Bai Yan back, she said with a smile to Ying Zheng.
"The king is willing to show such an important Qi Jian to General Bai, presumably General Bai is already grateful to the king in his heart, and he can't repay it!"
Concubine Qi thought carefully and secretly praised Yingzheng.
"The widow hopes he will have an epiphany!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he looked in the direction of the door of the study where Bai Yan had left, sighed with emotion, and shook his head.
was about to get up and leave with Concubine Qi, watching the eunuch come in to clean up, and looking at the bamboo slips that had been donated and neatly placed on the wooden table, at this moment Ying Zheng couldn't help but think about Bai Yan's words, whether he really wanted to use Chu people to deal with Chu people as Bai Yan said.
If it was placed in the past, Ying Zheng would definitely refuse without hesitation, but after experiencing the affairs of Yingchuan, Ying Zheng had no hesitation, Bai Yan's analysis of the Chu State did make him wake up, Bai Yan was right, the territory of the Chu State was wider than that of Han and Zhao combined, and the terrain was more complicated.
"Your Majesty?"
Concubine Qi looked at Ying Zheng's standing still and asked curiously.
Ying Zheng came back to his senses when he heard this, and shook his head.
"Put these bamboo slips together with Qi Jian, no one is allowed to open them without the order of the widow!"
Ying Zheng instructed Han Zheng to let Han Yan and others take these bamboo slips and put them away, and no one was allowed to move without permission, Bai Yan's assassination made Ying Zheng wake up, even if Ying Zheng did not suspect Li Si and others at the moment, but these bamboo slips that Bai Yan brought back after the danger, except for the main general who led the troops to attack the Chu State, the fewer people who knew the better.
Next.
On the court of the Qin State.
When he was about to leave the court, Ying Zheng informed the hundred officials of the news that he decided to let Bai Yan serve as the chief general and lead the troops to attack Wei half a month later.
There was no accident, and almost all the civil and military officials of the Qin State in the court shouted one after another.
"What's the matter, didn't you hear that Bai Yan asked to resign from Luoyin to guard the mausoleum?"
"That's right! I heard that he had already left the city early in the morning, why did the king let Bai Yan lead his troops to attack Wei? ”
"It's really inappropriate."
In the main hall, hearing Ying Zheng's words, not to mention Wenchen, it was the ranks of military generals, and all the generals looked at each other, looked at each other in great puzzlement, and talked in a whisper.
Wei Yi and Wang Jian looked at each other in surprise, and Li Si, Wang Juan and others on the other side in the distance were also full of doubts.
Yesterday they were still in the palace talking about how to send troops to attack Wei, and at that time, they all saw that Ying Zheng had not yet decided, who would lead the troops to attack Wei, why did they suddenly open their mouths today, what was going on.
Just when Li Si and the others were puzzled, among the civil officials, a minister hurriedly walked out and came to the center of the main hall.
"No, your king! And ask the king to take back the king's command. Destroy Wei, my Qin State will use 100,000 troops at a time, and at most 200,000 troops, General Bai Yan has never commanded such an army before, and there were many rumors in Xianyang before, rashly serving as the main general to attack Wei, this move is inappropriate! Please take back the king's command! ”
The slightly elderly minister said to Ying Zheng, trying to make Ying Zheng take back his life.
And with this official's actions, some other ministers also stood up and came to the center of the main hall, shouting together to take back the king's order, even some of the generals in the ranks of the generals.
At this moment, almost most of the officials already thought in their hearts that Ying Zheng must have been thinking about Bai Yan's original protection of the king, so this is the case.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that although General Bai is young, he has fought several battles before and will win every battle, and this time to destroy Wei is the best choice!"
Feng Zai saw that all the voices were against Bai Yan, and no one spoke for Bai Yan, so he walked out of the ranks of military generals, stood in the center of the hall, and said to Ying Zheng.
Feng Zheng also knew that a person was a little subtle in the end, not to mention that he was born as a military general, and he was not as good as Hu Lao at the beginning, who could refute the words of other ministers.
"Wechen seconded! General Bai Yan is a good general, and he is the best candidate to lead the troops to destroy Wei! ”
Ying Kan also stood up at this time and said to Ying Zheng.
On the main hall, Ying Zheng looked at the scene of hundreds of civil and military officials opposing Bai Yan's army to attack Wei, Ying Zheng was not too surprised, after Hu Quan was not in the court, during this time, many officials began to admonish Bai Yan's various actions, even when Bai Yan was assassinated, several officials wrote to admonish, saying that Bai Yan leaked the news, which led to the revelation of the plan, and he should be punished.
After looking at Feng Zai and Ying Kan standing up, some officials spoke for Bai Yan, and Ying Zheng finally set his eyes on Wang Jian and the others.
"General, court lieutenant, prime minister, state lieutenant, how is this matter?"
Ying Zheng asked, his eyes looked at Li Si and Kui, and looked at them one by one.
"Your Majesty! Weichen felt that there was nothing wrong with General Bai leading his troops to destroy Wei! ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with General Bai Yan leading the troops to attack Wei!"
Li Si and Wang Jian reported to Ying Zheng at the same time, both of them were not stupid, and they knew that the reason why so many people admonished was that many generals also thought that they could lead the troops to attack Wei this time, but this matter, it was obvious that Ying Zheng had decided in his heart that if they refute, it would not only offend Bai and Bai Yan, but also make the king unhappy, it was really unwise, it was better to go along with the favor.
"Your Majesty, the ministers also approve!"
Wei Yi and Kui also stood up at this moment and said to Ying Zheng.
As the original strong recommendation of Ying Zheng's order to transfer back an elite team under Bai Yan's command, the two of them were too lazy to oppose Ying Zheng's letting Bai Yan lead the troops to attack Wei at the moment, anyway, if Wei is not rescued by Chu and Qi, it depends on how Bai Yan captures Wei, how many troops are damaged, and how long it takes.
If it can't be attacked for a long time, besieged for two or three years, or the damage is too great, it will not be a credit at that time, and at that time, here in the court, other officials will not let go of the opportunity, and they will definitely advise Ying Zheng day and night.
"Secretaries and officials, who else has objections?"
Ying Zheng heard the words of Li Si, Wang Qian, Wei Yi and others, and on his calm cheeks, his eyes once again glanced at the civil and military officials, especially those who stood up and blocked them.
This time, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke again.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng waited for a long time to make sure that no one refuted before he said again.
"If there is no objection, the matter will be decided, and fifteen days later, Bai Yan will lead the troops to attack the Wei State !!"
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the time when it was time for the next dynasty, and asked the hundred officials if they had any important matters, and after seeing that the hundred officials had nothing important to discuss, he got up and went down to the court.
As Yingzheng left the hall after the next dynasty, the civil and military officials of the great hall talked again, shaking their heads as they walked.
"Alas, it is not a good thing that the king is so favored by Bai Yan, from ancient times to the present, officials who are so favored like Bai Yan are all the scourge of the temple! I'm worried, sooner or later, that Bai Yan will be pampered, arrogant, or like Guo Kai's generation! ”
"It's not, but let's see if Bai Yan can capture the Wei State, the land of the Wei State is fertile, the Liang is the capital of the Wei State, the commerce and trade are prosperous, the city has been strong for hundreds of years, and there are countless grains and grasses in the city, I want to see how Bai Yan captures the Liang!"
"Yes, that's right! Let's take a look and see if Bai Yan can find a way to capture the beam! If not, we will not be able to let the king favor Bai Yan so much in the future......"
