Early the next morning.

Bai Yan, who woke up early, leaned against the stump and looked at the soldiers around the bonfire in the distance, who had already eaten and cleaned up.

After taking out Zhan Lu from his arms, after pulling out Zhan Lu, he looked at the sword blade on it, thinking of today's events, Bai Yan was sure with a high probability, it was nine out of ten, but it was not certain.

There will be accidents in everything, even the 'soldier immortals' in later generations were almost seen through the scheme by Li Mu's grandson.

It's still a matter of Jiuding.

Bai Yan has a hunch, either the news of Jiuding is fake, or it is a fake Jiuding, the two must be one of them, the former Changping Jun should be a miscalculation, I didn't expect him to have a way to take Pengcheng, and the latter, even if it is salvaged, I am afraid that there will be rumors.

Bai Yan even had a hunch that those scholars would definitely say that Bai Yan was unkind, or that the Qin State was cruel, so Cang Tiancai would not let him Bai Yan get Jiuding for the Qin State!

Thinking of those scholars, Bai Yan had a little headache, especially those scholars who were in Qi State, under the captivity of the Qi State scholars, they had food and drink, how they wanted to say Qin State, how they wanted to say Qin State, how they wanted to say him Bai Yan, how they wanted to say Bai Yan.

Looking at the sky in the distance gradually brightening, Bai Yan put away Zhan Lu and slowly got up.

"General, then Xiao He is here!"

Bai Yan just got up, and he saw Xiao He in the distance following the old men of the Xiao family yesterday, walking slowly, and he also noticed that unlike yesterday, Xiao He actually wore a sharp sword on his waist and led a horse.

"I didn't expect Xiao He to really come!"

Bai Yan looked at Xiao He's appearance and asked himself, it was very unexpected, like in later generations, when he wanted to invite a great talent, or keep a person, he had to go through difficulties, several visits, money and beauties, all of which were foundations, and sincerity was even more essential.

Like Xiao He, he was so easily co-opted by him, Bai Yan said that it was not a lie, Bai Yan thought that Xiao He would hesitate again and again, and even refuse, and go on like Xiao He in the original later generations.

"The generals have invited him, and he will definitely come!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, he looked at Xiao He in the distance, then looked at Bai Yan, and said to Bai Yan puzzled.

I don't know why Bai Yan said this, in his eyes, in the face of the general's invitation, Xiao He, who has no official position and no status, is a strange thing not to come, not everyone has the opportunity to be invited by the general, how many scholars want to go to the general's mansion and be the general's doorman, the general doesn't want it, they all resign politely.

Then why don't Xiao seize the opportunity, and then wonder if there is something wrong with his brain.

Fame and fortune, gold beauty, who doesn't like it, who likes to live a barren life, facing the worry of eating, even two winter clothes, no one cares where you go.

"Go and bring them here!"

After Bai Yan saw Xiao He, he said to Xiao He.

"No!"

He nodded, got up and walked towards Xiao He.

A moment later.

Xiao He followed the old man of the Xiao family to Bai Yan, and after the old man said hello, Xiao He stepped forward and bowed his hand to Bai Yan.

"Xiao He is willing to go to Pengcheng with the general, and please ask the general not to think that Xiao He is mediocre! Xiao He is willing to be a general and serve the work of dogs and horses! ”

Xiao He looked at Bai Yan with a grim face, and saluted Bai Yan very sincerely.

The sword was given by his father, who was over half a hundred years old and had gray hair, last night, and when he learned of Bai Yan's invitation, he didn't mention that the people of the Xiao clan let him work for Bai Yan, even his father let him grasp the opportunity that he would never have after this time.

Thinking that he was in his thirties and had achieved nothing, Xiao He thought about it for a long time at night after accepting his father's sword, and finally decided to follow Bai Yan to Pengcheng today, no matter what Bai Yan did in Pengcheng this time, even if he needed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, even if it was dangerous, Xiao He also admitted it and regarded it as a determination to show Bai Yan.

"I want Pengcheng to fight, if galloping horses to kill the enemy is not your strength, you can go directly to Yanmen to see Yang Junshou, no need to get into danger, this is Bai Yan's token!"

Bai Yan looked at Xiao He who was in Jili, and while speaking, he took out a small seal from his arms, on which was his Bai Yan's name, although this had no effect, let alone any rights, but Xiao He took it, which was enough for Yang Duanhe to give Xiao He a good arrangement before seeing him.

Bai Yan's actions, these made Xiao Wenzhi, Xiao Shanzi and others know thoroughly that Bai Yan really appreciates Xiao He.

The dove came over at this time, standing behind Bai Yan, and couldn't help but look at Xiao He, and looked at Xiao He carefully, this is the first time that the dove has seen a scholar after Xun Shuo's gentleman, and the general appreciates a scholar so much.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao He, who had not yet put down his hand, looked at the seal in Bai Yan's hand, and did not give it up, but looked at Bai Yan.

"The general has ever heard that a person who sees danger and leaves cannot be trusted by others, and a person who is not even willing to take risks is difficult to achieve great things, if the general feels that Xiao He is not enough to succeed, what kind of face does Xiao He have, under the recommendation of the general, go to Yanmen to enter the office!"

Xiao He looked at Bai Yan and said softly, on his somewhat old-fashioned cheeks, his eyes were surprisingly not empty-hearted, but for the first time, he looked directly at Bai Yan's eyes.

"Bai Yan is worried! Don't be surprised yet! ”

Bai Yan saw Xiao He's actions, listened to Xiao He's words, looked at Xiao He's eyes, and seemed to understand why Liu Bang was willing to hand over his back to Xiao He.

Seeing that Xiao He was determined to go to Pengcheng, Bai Yan no longer refused and agreed to go with Xiao He.

A moment later.

After having a polite conversation with Xiao Wenzhi, Xiao Shanzi and others, and after Xiao He finished talking to Xiao Wenzhi, Xiao Shanzi and others, Bai Yan turned over and looked at all the iron cavalry soldiers, all of whom were ready, and looked at him on war horses one by one.

Bai Yan looked at the dove and the queen, and then looked at Xiao He, who also turned over and got on the horse, so he drove the war horse and slowly set off towards Pengcheng.

"How many soldiers and horses does the general have this time to attack Pengcheng?"

After leaving Xiao County, Xiao He took one last look at Xiao County, then rode a horse and followed closely beside Bai Yan, after thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Bai Yan and ask.

Although he had never read a book of war or anything like that, and he had never been on the battlefield, since he was determined to follow Bai Yan, Xiao He still wanted to see if he could think of anything and give advice to Bai Yan.

"More than 3,000 people!"

Bai Yan heard Xiao He's inquiry and said softly.

Hearing this, Xiao He turned his head in confusion, the expression on his entire cheek was stiff, and his eyes looked at Bai Yan in disbelief, as if he doubted what he heard.

There are only about 3,000 people!!

More than 3,000 people went to fight Pengcheng?

………………

Inside Pengcheng.

When Xuanyuan sat on the throne of God, Pengcheng was the capital, that is, the famous Yellow Emperor in the world, and the back Yao Feng was in Pengcheng, and the country of the Peng family was built, so the country of Peng was also called Pengzu, and the country of the great Peng family went through the Xia Dynasty, and was destroyed by Wu Ding at the end of the Shang Dynasty.

It can be said that although Pengcheng is not as prosperous as Luoyang, Linzi and Taoyi in the world, it has a unique color of Pengcheng in terms of cultural heritage.

And now Pengcheng is connected to the west of the beam, south is the fertile land of Chu, and the east can go to Qi, so in the strong and towering city wall of Pengcheng, the streets are full of pedestrians and merchants, horse-drawn carriages come and go endlessly, and the shouts and cheers of shops along the way are even more noisy.

Under the gate of Pengcheng, a soldier of the Chu State hurriedly drove into the city gate on horseback, ignoring the people on the street, galloping quickly, and rushing towards the city guard mansion under the repeated avoidance of the people on the street.

A moment later.

In the city guard's mansion, Huang Ye, a Chu general in his forties, was discussing with several Chu generals the situation he would face in a few days.

Huang Ye, from the Huang clan of Chu State, is also the defender of Pengcheng today.

At this moment, Huang Ye looked at the map with great interest, when he was in the Chu State, Huang Ye had heard Bai Yan's name countless times, and he had also heard about his deeds countless times.

Coincidentally, since Huang Ye led the troops, he has never been defeated.

Therefore, in Huang Ye's heart, he already wanted to fight with Bai Yan to see how capable Bai Yan was, although there were only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses this time, Huang Ye still had confidence in his heart to stick to Pengcheng.

"Report, general, news has come from the direction of Xiao County, and it has been found that the Qin army's iron cavalry is rushing towards Pengcheng!"

A soldier of the Chu State came to the study with a panicked face and reported to Huang Yeyu.

Qin Army Iron Cavalry!

Hearing these four words, the other four Chu generals in the study looked at each other in surprise, and their hearts were full of excitement, and everyone understood the meaning behind these four words.

But they didn't expect Bai Yan's movements to be so fast.

"Why did the Iron Cavalry appear in Xiao County so quickly, could it be that the Wei Kingdom had already descended? How many men did the Qin army have? ”

Huang Ye also frowned, a little surprised to hear the news, turned his back to the soldiers, and looked at the location of Xiao County and Daliang on the map.

"Report to the general, it is said that there are more than 3,000 iron horsemen!"

Chu Guoshi reported on the death.

As the words fell, Huang Ye turned around directly and looked at the soldier with a suspicious expression.

"How much? Three thousand? ”

Huang Ye was a little skeptical that his ears had heard it wrong, three thousand iron horses! Dare to come to Pengcheng, what can three thousand iron horses do when they come to Pengcheng, and now in Pengcheng, he has at least 30,000 Chu troops.

"Does the leader know who it is?"

On the side, the general of Chu State, Qiu Jiaxian, couldn't help but look at the soldiers and asked.

The other three Chu generals and Huang Ye also looked at the Chu soldier one after another.

"There is no news coming, but listening to the report, the general led by him is very young, and he ...... is very similar to the rumored Bai Yan! ”

The soldiers of the State of Chu did not dare to hide it, but when it came to Bai Yan's name, even the soldiers of the State of Chu were a little incredulous.

This is also the case, with his words, all the generals of the Chu State, including Huang Ye, were all stunned, and then shook their heads in disbelief.

"It can't be Bai Yan!"

"Three thousand iron horses, why did Bai Yan lead three thousand iron horses to Pengcheng?"

When the four generals of the Chu State said this, they all looked at the main general Huang Ye, you must know that this time Huang Ye took the initiative to ask for his life, and he wanted to come to Pengcheng to fight with Bai Yan.

"It can't be Bai Yan, immediately order someone to find out!"

Huang Ye said intently.

"No!"

When the soldiers of Chu State heard this, they hurriedly gave up the order, and then turned around and left the room.

"General, if it's really Bai Yan, what should we do?"

Watching the soldiers leave, Qiu Jia first looked at Huang Ye and asked with a frown.

In the eyes of the other three Chu generals, the main general Huang Ye heard Qiu Jiaxian's words, and immediately felt a tightness in his heart, if it was really Bai Yan, he would lead three thousand iron horses to Pengcheng.

Although it is not clear what Bai Yan's purpose is, could it be that he wants to be in the city?

"General, Bai Yan has a good way of using soldiers, it is impossible to come to Pengcheng easily, there must be fraud! What's more, the iron cavalry under Bai Yan is the elite of the Qin army, and he has to guard against it! ”

A general of the Chu State looked at Huang Ye at this time and said with his mouth open.

Inside Pengcheng.

"Xun Junzi, what if Huang Ye doesn't leave the city, or doesn't send all the troops out of the city?"

In a restaurant, he stood in the private room, looked at Xun Shuo and asked curiously.

Since he was appointed by Bai Yan to lead the death row camp, he has been ordering people to guard outside the city, and most of them have already infiltrated the city, and now thinking of the Chu army in Pengcheng, he is not worried that he will die, but he is just worried that the general will not be able to take Pengcheng.

"And be relieved! The general has already calculated Huang Ye's character, Huang Ye led the troops to be known for his calmness, and later heard that the general attacked Wei, and specially asked for the order to lead the troops to Pengcheng, obviously in his heart to the general, quite dissatisfied, there were rumors, Huang Ye once drunk, Yan Xi had no chance to fight with Li Mu, and regretted his life, such a person, after learning that the general only had three thousand horsemen, he was arrogant and would not allow him to stick in the city, your general decided to take Pengcheng, he thoroughly understood Huang Ye, and also knew about it, so he planned to lure him out of the city! ”

Xun Shuo knelt behind the wooden seat, holding the wine lord, and thought about it while drinking.

Originally, Xun Shuo was doing well in the Qi State, but suddenly received a letter from Bai Yan, realized that Bai Yan might be in trouble, and predicted that Bai Yan might attack the Chu State, Xun Shuo ordered someone to do what Bai Yan explained, so he immediately left Linzi.

Later, I happened to learn about Jiuding through personal connections, coupled with the previous news of Qin State's 'Wei Pang scolding Qin', Xun Shuo had already realized that someone was taking advantage of this matter, so he turned to Pengcheng, originally wanted to investigate, and then told Bai Yan.

I never thought about it, but I met you.

As Bai Yan's staff, Xun Shuo naturally saw him, although Xun Shuo couldn't remember his name, and he only had a vague impression, but it didn't prevent him from knowing him.

is also the same, Xun Shuo only then knew Bai Yan's plan.

"Is there a bribe who spreads the word?"

After Xun Shuo drank the wine in the wine jue, he slowly looked up.

"In accordance with the general's orders, I have bribed the soldiers of Chu and spread the news that the general wants to lead the Qin army to fight for Jiuding, and now everyone in the Chu army should already know about it."

Yu nodded, this is what Bai Yan told him in the letter, he must do something, and give back so much money, he will naturally not be negligent.

After Xun Shuo listened to his words, he nodded and looked at the wine jug on the wooden table.

"Good! After Huang Ye led the Chu army to leave Pengcheng, remember that if you want to order someone to burn more houses, you don't need to be the grain and grass of the Chu army, you just need to raise the smoke! ”

Xun Shuo explained.

It is inevitable that Bai Yan's plan is wrong, Xun Shuo also specially instructed him to do this, only to see the banner of the Qin State, he is still not at ease, only to let Huang Ye know that there is smoke in the city, mistakenly thinking that the grain and grass have been burned, with Huang Ye's steadiness, he will definitely choose to give up holding on to Pengcheng without hesitation.

"The Admiral remembers!"

After hearing Xun Shuo's words, he lowered his head and thought about it for a while, then thought of Xun Shuo's purpose, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Xun Shuo, his eyes full of admiration.

Then he turned around and left the private room and arranged Xun Shuo's instructions.

In a quiet private room.

Xun Shuo knelt behind the wooden table, poured wine for the empty wine lord, and then looked out the window.

"Bai Yan, you are actually a Qi person!"

Xun Shuo muttered to himself, and then he couldn't help laughing, at this time Xun Shuo finally understood why Wei Lao would not mind helping Bai Yan, for Bai Yan did not inform himself of this matter, with Xun Shuo's understanding of Bai Yan, Xun Shuo had a vague premonition, this must be related to Bai Yan's background.

"Gentleman, there is news from the Qi Kingdom!"

The door of the private room slowly opened, and a servant hurriedly came to Xun Shuo and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Xun Shuo.

After Xun Shuo stretched out his hand to take it, he opened the bamboo slip, and when he saw that Tian Ding had left Linzi and would come to Pengcheng in a few days, Xun Shuo did not show an expression of surprise.

Xiao He didn't look at the thatched cottage three times, and he wrote about Xiao County's experience with a knife to highlight this, in that environment, in troubled times, there are opportunities that can't be sought.

In the past two days, the daughter-in-law with a knife is too pregnant, and she has to go back to the city for re-examination and filing.

The back with a knife will be repaired, and all the typos before have been corrected!
