Early the next morning, when the sky was just bright, Tian Ding prepared to leave Yangguan and go to Pengcheng.

In Yangguan, the general Qi Cheng, as well as the deputy generals Wuhe and Yangsu, also came to see Tian Ding in person.

"There is news from Wei Di, I heard that Bai Yan has led his troops to Pengcheng, and he is worried about the war, Lord Tian Ding is going to Pengcheng, so he must be careful."

Qi Cheng said to Tian Ding.

As the general of Qi State, Qi Cheng and Tian Ding are naturally old acquaintances, so Qi Cheng also understands that after learning that Qin General Bai Yan is a Qi person, it is impossible for Tian Ding, who is determined to be strong Qi, not to meet Bai Yan.

And Tian Ding's temper, Qi Cheng is too lazy to persuade.

"I heard that Bai Yan only led three thousand iron horsemen, so he hurried to Pengcheng......"

Tian Ding nodded when he heard Qi Cheng's words, and before he could speak, he heard the voice of Yangsu behind him, Tian Ding stopped and turned to look at Yangsu.

And Yang Su saw Tian Ding's gaze, saw that everyone was looking at him, and glanced at him.

"The guard general of Pengcheng is the famous general Huang Ye of Chu, according to the news, there are at least 30,000 elite Chu troops under Huang Ye's command, all of whom are the Huang clan in the past, and they follow Huang Ye all year round."

Yang Su said.

Yangsu's words are very simple, Pengcheng is guarded by Huang Ye, and there are 30,000 elites of the Chu army in the city, and Bai Yan only has 3,000 iron horsemen.

If it's a siege? There are only 3,000 people, in the eyes of Yangsu, even if Bai Yan is given 30,000 people, Bai Yan may not be able to capture Pengcheng, which is garrisoned by the elite of the Chu army.

But if he didn't go to Pengcheng, why did Bai Yan lead three thousand horsemen south.

"It's true!"

Qi Cheng saw Tian Ding's gaze and nodded, Qi Cheng, like Tian Ding, could also hear some emotions towards Bai Yan in Yangsu's words, which Qi Cheng was not surprised.

Although it has been learned that the Qin general Bai Yan is a Qi person, but Yang Su was born in the Yang clan, which is one of the oldest clans in the Qi country, and for almost a hundred years, the Yang family has produced generals and is a family of military generals, so for Bai Yan, Yang Su from the Yang family, in addition to being arrogant, it is inevitable that he will secretly compare.

"Except for the three thousand cavalry, can the other Qin troops have any changes?"

Tian Ding frowned slightly when he heard Qi Cheng's words.

You must know that Surabaya is next to Pengcheng, and now Tian Ding's purpose is not to ask for Bai Yan's life, but to divide the relationship between Bai Yan and Yingzheng through the matter of fake Ding, and force Bai Yan to leave Qin.

In order to post, after Bai Yan sent the fake tripod to Xianyang, these old men, as well as the old men who had seen Jiuding in other places, stood up and identified Jiuding as fake.

But right now, Bai Yan only sent 3,000 iron horsemen to Pengcheng, what did Bai Yan want to do?

"There is no news of any changes!"

Qi Cheng shook his head.

Although Qi Cheng didn't understand why Bai Yan only led 3,000 horsemen to Pengcheng, Qi Cheng had been inquiring about the news of the Qin army in other places, and he had not seen the Qin army go south.

When Tian Ding heard this, he quietly turned his head to look at Tian Wei.

Tian Wei, who was wearing Qi Guo's clothes and armor, saw his father's reproachful gaze, and knew that it was his fault, so his eyes were a little evasive, because he had returned to Linzi before, and now he had just returned to Yangguan with his father, and he knew nothing about all the news now.

"Father, it's not too early!"

Tian Xian followed his father Tian Ding and said to his father.

In Tian Xian's eyes, Qi Cheng is mediocre, Yangsu is faint, and if he does not agree, he is incompetent, and the reason why Qi has become where it is today is because there are too many Qi generals like the three people in front of him.

"No matter what Bai Yan's purpose is, he has to go to Pengcheng this time!"

When Tian Ding heard the words of the third son, he turned his head and said to Qi Cheng, it is imperative for Tian Ding to go to Pengcheng, no matter what, he must see Bai Yan.

"Good! Lord Tian must be careful! ”

Qi Cheng nodded and returned the salute.

Yangguan City Gate, under the gaze of Qi Cheng, Yangsu, Wuhe, and Tian Wei, Tian Ding and Tian Xian were about to get into the carriage and leave, and suddenly, three Qi soldiers in the distance, hurriedly riding war horses, galloped towards the city gate.

Looked at.

Tian Ding and Tian Xian glanced at each other, and the two of them were keenly aware that something seemed to be happening again, thinking that it was Pengcheng that they were going to this time, so the two of them were not in a hurry to leave, wanting to see if there was any news or changes.

A general of Qi beside Yangsu stepped forward under the instruction of Yangsu.

Soon.

When the three horsemen came to the city gate, they hurriedly reined in their horses, and when they saw that all the generals were behind, they directly turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly ran in front of Qi Cheng, not even caring about everyone else.

This scene made everyone around, including Tian Ding, Tian Xian, Wuhe and others, and all the generals of the Qi State, seem to have a premonition that something seems to be really happening.

And in the eyes of everyone, the cavalry led by him swallowed his saliva and looked at Qi Cheng with a panicked face.

"General! General, no, Qin General Bai Yan has already captured Pengcheng! ”

The horseman handed over his hand to report.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals of the Qi Kingdom around, including Wuhe, Yangsu, Qi Cheng, Tian Wei and others, and even Tian Ding, all changed their faces and expressions were shocked, and they looked at each other in disbelief.

"Impossible!"

Yang Su was the first to hurriedly step forward, and on his trance-like cheeks, he pointed at the rider with an indignant expression.

"This matter is absolutely impossible, the Qin general Bai Yan only has 3,000 horsemen, and the Pengcheng guard Huang Ye has 30,000 Chu army elites, how can Bai Yan take Pengcheng?"

Yang Su asked sharply, the meaning of this sentence is to say directly, the three people in front of him are lying about the military situation, and they will be beheaded according to the law.

"General, this is true!"

The cavalry led by him naturally heard Yangsu's words, and hurriedly turned his head and knelt down in front of Yangsu, his expression was full of paleness, but under the frightened gaze, he still said that Bai Yan had captured Pengcheng.

The other two horsemen nodded their heads as well.

Looked at.

Not to mention that Tian Ding and the others had realized that the three horsemen probably did not lie, but Yangsu's face became more and more pale, his eyes were full of doubts and disbelief, and the whole person shook his head from time to time, as if absurdly.

"Impossible, Bai Yan only has 3,000 people, how did he capture Pengcheng?"

Yang Su still muttered, he couldn't think of how to take the place where Huang Ye was there, and there were 30,000 elite Chu troops guarding the city, even if he gave Bai Yan 50,000, Bai Yan would not be able to capture Pengcheng.

Moreover, how long has it been since Bai Yan led the iron cavalry south!!

During this period, there were also these three soldiers who sent the news of Pengcheng to Yangguan......

Yangsu couldn't figure it out, but looking at the appearance of these three soldiers, Yangsu already had a premonition that the news should be true, but the arrogance in his heart made Yangsu not want to admit it.

"Three thousand horsemen to capture Pengcheng!"

Qi Cheng looked at these three horsemen at the moment, and his whole heart was also shocked, looking at Yangsu's trance-like appearance, Qi Cheng finally looked at Tian Ding, who was also shocked.

"This time, there is Lord Lao Tian, no matter what, I have to persuade Bai Yan to return to Qi!"

Qi Cheng didn't say much, but after learning the news, he turned to Tian Ding and said such solemn instructions, which was enough to show that Qi Cheng attached great importance to Bai Yan in his heart at this time.

Counting Bai Yan's merits, now seeing that Bai Yan only had 3,000 horsemen, he took Pengcheng, which was guarded by 30,000 elite Chu troops, Qi Cheng was shocked by Bai Yan's means of leading troops, such a person must not stay in the Qin State.

What's more, Bai Yan is a Qi person, and he must be brought back to Qi State.

Next to the carriage.

Tian Ding looked at Qi Cheng's appearance, slowly recovered from the shock, and after returning the salute to Qi Cheng, he glanced at the distracted Zhongzi Tian Wei, then turned around and got into the carriage, although I don't know what means Bai Yan used, with only three thousand horsemen to capture Pengcheng, which was heavily garrisoned, but since Bai Yan had already captured Pengcheng, he had to rush to Pengcheng as soon as possible.

Tian Xian saw his father get into the carriage, and then bowed to the generals of Qi State, and then turned around and got into the carriage with his father.

Inside the carriage.

Tian Xian thought of General Qi Cheng's words, and felt a little helpless in his heart, and looked at his father, now his father has not yet made it clear to the King of Qi that Bai Yan is the matter of his father driving him out of the Qi country.

Although his father had arranged for his brother Tian Cong to be in Linzi and pretended to be looking for him, after the King of Qi learned about Bai Yan, he couldn't wait, and this matter may not be able to be hidden for a long time.

………………

State of Qin.

Xianyang Palace, at this moment in the palace hall, Yingzheng is discussing political affairs with civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty! The Qin State has been fighting for many years, the cultivators have been sharply reduced, the grain has been halved, Guanzhong and Bashu have been empty, and now they are attacking Wei, and the ministers are worried about the drought in the coming year, and there will be disasters! ”

An elderly official of the Taicang Order stood in the center of the main hall and reported to Ying Zhengyu.

And this official's words aroused a lot of noisy discussions among civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the proposal! Today's Qin State, when the people recuperate, within three years, no more wars and wars! In this way, Qin Guofang will not hurt the foundation! ”

An official hurriedly walked out of the ranks of the hundred officials, also stood in the center of the main hall, and bowed to Yingzheng.

On the main hall.

Ying Zheng was wearing a black royal robe, listening to the advice of His Royal Highness on the throne, and his expression did not change.

In fact, Ying Zheng also knew that since ancient times, there was a certain number of comparisons between the cultivators and the Qin people who cultivated and fought in the Qin State, and once the felling wars were too frequent, due to the deaths and injuries of the soldiers in the farming wars, the number of Qin people who cultivated the farmers decreased sharply, which would lead to a food crisis, and even cause a large number of famines in the following year.

Throughout the past few years, swallowing Korea, destroying Zhao, attacking Yan, quelling the chaos, and cutting down Wei, behind each piece, all the forces and inventories of the Qin State were mobilized, and Yingzheng also knew that the current Qin State really needed to recuperate.

But recalling that Bai Yan had taken the initiative to attack Chu for the first time, Bai Yan had accompanied Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng understood Bai Yan's heart, and if Bai Yan was not sure, he would never easily take the initiative to say to him that he wanted to attack Chu.

On the one hand, the people of Qin need to recuperate, otherwise it is likely that there will be a famine the next year, on the other hand, Bai Yan's request to attack Chu and Ying Zheng also know that if he does not attack Chu now, not to mention that Bai Yan loses this opportunity, Bai Yan will still be sure in the future, that is, when Chu State stabilizes, Qin State will attack Chu State again, I am afraid it will be more difficult.

The soldiers and horses of the Chu State are not much less than those of the Qin State.

"Your Majesty, it is a major matter of the country, I think that now the two prime ministers of the Qin State, the left prime minister has sent an envoy to the Qi State, and the right prime minister should be ordered to return to Xianyang, preside over the political affairs, and discuss the important affairs of the Qin State!"

Ying Zheng thought about it, and saw an official stand up and admonish His Royal Highness.

And almost as soon as this official stood up, several more officials hurriedly stood up and seconded the motion.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng was already a little impatient in his eyes, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a palace guard running into the hall outside the main hall.

"Newspaper, Your Majesty!! Good news! General Bai Yan has captured Daliang, and the Wei clan and the hundred officials of Wei have all gone out of the city to surrender to Qin! ”

His Royal Highness, the palace guard hurriedly reported to Ying Zhengyu, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands.

With the words of the palace guard.

In an instant, the civil and military officials in the entire palace hall were in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other in a trance.

However, even if they are mentally prepared to hear the news that the city of Daliang has been broken and all the officials of the Wei State have gone out of the city to surrender to Qin, everyone is still inevitably in a trance.

Especially at the beginning, those officials who secretly laughed at Bai Yan for wanting to attack Daliang were not easy, they were still waiting for Bai Yan to attack for a long time without results, and the officials who were ready to write to Ying Zheng to admonish Ying Zheng were now even more pale, looking at each other at a loss.

Bai Yan really destroyed the Wei State, and in a way that no one expected, he destroyed the Wei State for the Qin State at no cost.

"It's really destroyed the Wei Kingdom!!"

"The Wei State was really destroyed by Bai Yan!!"

At a glance, all the civil and military officials began to talk about it.

"Good !!"

In the main hall, Yingzheng's excited voice sounded.

Those Qin officials who were hostile to Bai Yan looked up at Ying Zheng, and after seeing Ying Zheng's happy and excited face, their whole faces began to hesitate, the young Bai Yan was already a lieutenant general, and now he has destroyed the Wei State, and he doesn't know what Ying Zheng will reward Bai Yan again.

What's more, Bai Yan was already deeply favored by Yingzheng, and now that he has made the contribution of destroying the country, the higher Bai Yan's status will be in the future, and they dare not imagine their previous actions, if Bai Yan retaliates against them in the future.

As some officials pondered.

"Congratulations to the King!"

Ying Kan took the lead from among the civil and military officials, passed through Li Si, Wang Juan and others, came to the center of the hall, and congratulated Yingzheng.

With Ying Kan's words, the civil and military officials came back to their senses at this time, and hurriedly knelt on the ground together, congratulating Yingzheng in the main hall.

"Congratulations to the King!"

"Congratulations to the King!!"

The voices of civil and military officials sounded in the main hall, and bursts of neat congratulations rose and fell.

Bai Yu naturally saw this scene, and at this moment, Bai Yu noticed the expressions of those officials, not to mention how happy he was.

Suddenly.

Bai Yu noticed that an official glanced at him, and then saw the official stand up and come to the center of the main hall.

At this moment, not only Bai Yu, but also Wang Qian, Li Si, Wei Yi and others, as well as all the officials, all noticed the official's actions.

"Your Majesty! Minister, there is something to repay! ”

The official saluted Ying Zheng, and then ignored the gaze of hundreds of officials, this Chu official in his thirties looked up at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty! The former minister, by chance, heard that General Bai Yan was a Qi person! ”

When the official said this, he turned his head and looked at Bai Yu in the distance.

"I don't know why General Bai Yu has been hiding it from the king before! And tell the world that General Bai Yan is a child of the Bai family? ”

The official looked at Bai Yu and asked.

"Qi people?"

"What? Bai Yan is a Qi person??? ”

"How is that possible? Bai Yan is actually a Qi person! ”

With the official's words, the civil and military officials in the hall looked left and right in surprise, and they were all caught off guard by this news.

Bai Yan is a Qi person?

"The widow already knows!"

In the main hall, after Ying Zheng glanced at Bai Yu, he opened his mouth and said, telling the civil and military officials that he had always known about this matter.

With Ying Zheng's words, there was no doubt that this news was true, and all the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness were shocked.

Bai Yan is really a Qi person, and Yingzheng has always known it!!

This......

In the center of the main hall, Fang just stood up to question Bai Yu's officials, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to know about this matter, and looked at Ying Zheng in surprise.

"The minister doesn't know that the king knows, and he asks the king to forgive his sins!"

The official hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

However, hearing Ying Zheng's words, Chang Wenjun, Wei Yi, Li Si, Wang Juan, and even Ying Kan and others all looked at Ying Zheng in surprise.

Ying Zheng not only knows that Bai Yan is a Qi person, but also has always entrusted Bai Yan with important responsibilities and trusts!!

Behind this, they have to think more.

"Bai Yan is a Qi person!"

Li Si and Wang Juan looked at each other quietly, then turned their heads and looked at Bai Yu in the ranks of military generals, looking at Bai Yu's appearance without the slightest surprise, Li Si and Wang Juan were full of doubts in their hearts.

Qi people!

In other words, Bai Yan was originally not a person with the surname Bai.

"Jiuding !!"

Suddenly, Ying Zheng's puzzled voice came from the hall, Li Si and Wang Juan came back to their senses, turned their heads to look at Ying Zheng, and then saw Ying Zheng looking at the bamboo slips of the good news, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Jiuding?"

In the position of the leader of the ranks of military generals, Wang Qian, who was standing with Wei Yi and Chang Wenjun, recalled that he had just heard Yingzheng's words, and turned his head in surprise and looked at Chang Wenjun beside him.

Yingzheng is looking at the good news from Daliang, and now, when Changping Jun is in Daliang and orders someone to send good news, he is at least counting the treasures of Daliang Palace, and reporting it together, so Wang Jian wants to know if Chang Wenjun knows anything.

However, to Wang Qian's surprise, Chang Wenjun shook his head, signaling that he didn't know, seeing Wang Jian look away, Chang Wenjun thought of his brother's plan, as long as Bai Yan ordered someone to take back Jiuding, he secretly released a voice questioning the 'coincidence' in Xianyang.

"I heard that someone was in the Surabaya River and saw Jiuding!"

In the main hall, the voice of Yingzheng came.

Seeing Wang Qian's gaze, Yingzheng in the hall did not hide it, and directly told Wang Jian and others about Jiuding.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, not to mention Wang Qian, Wei Yu was surprised when he heard Ying Zheng's words, and even Li Si, Wang Juan and others in the distance were also stunned.

"Jiuding? Didn't you say that Jiuding couldn't be found all the time? ”

"That's right! Jiuding has fallen into the Surabaya River fifty years ago, and there is no trace, but someone actually saw Jiuding in the Surabaya River! ”

"Jiuding is in Surabaya, I'm afraid Chu Guo will not hand it over!"

In the main hall, some other officials, after hearing Ying Zheng's words, became a sensation and hurriedly discussed with each other.

"Jiuding!"

Ying Zheng was on the throne, looking at the news in the bamboo slips, and his excited expression because of the news of the destruction of the Wei State slowly calmed down, and then his face was contemplative.

As for the meaning of Jiuding, Yingzheng naturally knows, and also understands how important Jiuding is to the Qin State.

With Jiuding, the Qin State can occupy the righteousness of the world, which means adhering to the mandate of heaven!

However, looking at this bamboo slip, Ying Zheng looked at Jiuding in Surabaya, Ying Zheng was a little worried, one is that he doesn't know whether Jiuding is true or false, and second, Bai Yan only took three thousand iron to Pengcheng, and when the time comes, if Jiuding is obtained by Chu or Qi......

Ying Zheng is not afraid that Jiuding is in the Surabaya River, as long as he really sees Ding in Surabaya, one day it will belong to him Ying Zheng, even if he sends 100,000 or 200,000 people to salvage, it can't stop Ying Zheng's determination to get Jiuding.

But what Ying Zheng is afraid of is that once Jiuding is hidden again!

……………………

Under the scorching sun and scorching heat.

After several days of traveling, Tian Ding and Tian Xian finally arrived in Pengcheng as they wished, and when they entered Pengcheng, they saw that Pengcheng was more lively than before.

"Are there still scholars going to stop the sacrifice today?"

"It should be gone, there are people going every day these days, how many people have died here!"

"Hey~ In the eyes of those scholars, even if they die, they don't want Bai Yan to sacrifice to the Ding...... What, someone is going to stop the sacrifice?"

There were endless discussions outside the carriage, and Tian Ding and Tian Xian, who were sitting in the carriage, listened and roughly guessed something.

At this time, Tian Ding finally put his mind at ease, although he didn't expect Peng Cheng to fall into Bai Yan's hands so easily, but fortunately, everything developed according to expectations, Bai Yan had already gotten the fake tripod, and was ready to sacrifice the tripod in Pengcheng, and after the sacrifice tripod, he would send it to Xianyang.

"Xian'er, you will go to the city to investigate the movements of the Chu army, and your father and others will immediately send a letter to the Chu State, so that the Chu army can gather a large army as soon as possible and send troops to recapture Pengcheng. First forced Bai Yan to immediately send Jiuding to Xianyang! ”

Tian Ding turned his head to Tian Xian and instructed.

Although it is not known how many Qin troops there are in the city now, Tian Ding still hopes that the Chu State will send a large army as soon as possible, whether it is to attack Pengcheng or not, at least to force Bai Yan and send Jiuding to Xianyang first.

"I'll ask later, kid!"

Tian Xian nodded, in this Pengcheng, Tian Xian also has old friends he knows, and it is not difficult to investigate.

Turning his head, he stretched out his hand and gently lifted the curtain, Tian Xian looked at the lively streets of Pengcheng outside the carriage, recalling the scene when he met Bai Yan in Yingchuan, and now he was going to meet again, Tian Xian couldn't help but look forward to it.

After all, this time he already knew that Bai Yan was a Qi person!
