The land of Jianghuai is fertile and the belly of Chu.

And with Bai Yan leading the army of Qin, after defeating the army of Chu, it was almost like a sweep, annexing the cities east of Chu, and threatening the Jianghuai land in the east of Chu at any time.

Among the army of the Qin State, the border cavalry and the iron cavalry, as Bai Yan's henchmen, were all gathered in the camp, as the elite force against the Chu State, and had war horses, and the mobility of these two armies was far greater than that of the foot soldiers.

At first, not to mention the generals of this army, that is, the other Qin troops stationed in the city, as well as the generals of the border cavalry and iron cavalry, all thought that Bai Yan was not worried about this Qin army, so he was placed in the camp, not allowing it to be stationed in the city, and was on guard at any time.

However, this idea does not stand up to scrutiny.

After all, at the beginning, Qufu and many cities, Bai Yan was handed over to this Qin army to be stationed, not to mention that this Qin army was in the camp, and the treatment given by Bai Yan was exactly the same as that of the side cavalry and the iron cavalry, and even sternly ordered that anyone who dared to scold and despise these Qin soldiers and soldiers would have strict military law.

This time.

Don't talk about the generals, even all the soldiers of the Qin army were confused, especially when they saw Bai Yan's meritorious service, not only to reward the meritorious service, but also to give him a holiday, and give him a war horse to send him back to his hometown and city.

Inside the camp of the Qin army.

There are camp tents everywhere, and next to the dense camp tents, there are Qin flags everywhere, but for some reason, on this day, Qin soldiers can be seen everywhere in company, running towards the gate of the camp.

And inside and outside the gate of the camp, it was already crowded.

"I know that person, from Tanpan Township, I didn't expect him to make a meritorious contribution this time! Look at that title, isn't this the best creation? ”

"Hook, I know that person, next door to my house, I didn't expect him to make meritorious contributions! Let Jean, I'll go talk to him, and let him help me send a few messages home when he goes back! ”

"That's a lot of people! I heard that they all went back, and that the cities were responsible for eating and drinking along the way, and I heard that the general had informed all the cities! ”

In the noise, countless Qin soldiers stood on tiptoe one after another, looking at the open space outside the camp, there were Qin soldiers who had made meritorious contributions everywhere, and when they saw many generals leading their war horses over, they immediately caused a group of people to exclaim.

Everyone's eyes turned red.

Horses! If they could ride a horse and return home with their armor, how majestic it would be! In the past, those pretty women saw it, and they were afraid that they would look at it frequently, even those white and tender women in the city, and they would take a few more looks.

Thinking of this, the young soldier was fine, although he was in a state of confusion, he was also short of breath, and his eyes were full of heat.

And those older soldiers, the eyes are a little frightening, after all, a lot of age, when they see those young people younger than themselves, all of them have been rewarded for meritorious service and surrendered, they are as eager as the young soldiers, and more, there is also some desire for face.

Compared with young people, they are all women and older soldiers, and they want to make their families, old and young wives and children, their face.

"Damn, when I was fighting with Chu Pawn before, I obviously saw a Chu Pawn general, hey~~~ hate! I knew that whatever I said, I would rush over and cut him! ”

"I am the same, a Chu pawn general before, just five steps away in front of me, the result is over, and he was cut down by the man who led the horse, ahhhhh

In the noisy discussions, more and more regretful and unwilling voices appeared, one after another, and these voices also made more and more Qin soldiers around them recall that when they fought with the Chu army, they had also seen the Chu generals.

Moment.

Looking at the soldiers in the distance who made meritorious service and could talk to the generals, all the soldiers who did not make meritorious service and were able to go home, they were full of remorse, and some people who were too radical slapped themselves hard while crying, and their whole faces were red.

This is the first time that all the former Wei people have been stimulated by the Qin State's military merit title system so bluntly.

Everyone was afraid that they would not be able to go back to their hometown and die in Chu, but when they saw that those people could go back, and they still went back with the titles and rewards of the Qin State, the Qin soldiers in the camp all seemed to have found the meaning of coming here, which was different from before, and seemed to see the expectations for the future.

Get back!

And he still went back with military merits, titles, and rewards to see his family.

"General!!"

In the camp of the Qin army, HP came to the main general's tent, and when he saw Bai Yan hanging next to the map, looking at the map, HP stepped forward and saluted Bai Yan with gratitude.

"Thank you, General!"

HP said gratefully to Bai Yan.

From the end of the battle with the Chu army, Hewlett-Packard saw the low morale with his own eyes, and now now, the Qin soldiers in the camp have been dissatisfied with the camp left behind, and this dissatisfaction is no longer the dissatisfaction that he thought he was excluded, but the complaint that he could not go out to kill the enemy.

The morale of the soldiers under his command is almost several times higher than when he was in Qufu, and even more than ten times higher, and the atmosphere of panic that was permeated by many casualties no longer exists.

HP really didn't expect that it would be so simple and effective to restore morale.

"Remember, along the way, you must order people to protect these meritorious soldiers!"

Bai Yan glanced at HP, and did not take this matter to heart, soon after, he would have to fight with the army of Chu, and these soldiers returned to their former hometowns, which was Bai Yan's continuous means of recruitment.

These people have been firmly tied to the Qin State for their military exploits in the Qin State, and human nature is greedy, they will only want to go further, and the next time they go back, they will have a higher title and more rewards.

And in Wei, in the past, he could be persuaded by Wei pawns, Bai Yan secretly checked, the life of these soldiers was very bitter and cold, and when these people returned to their hometowns, the people of Wei who had a good family background in the past saw that they had a bad life and were not as good as them, but now they have become Qin pawns, and they have also obtained titles, rewards, and fields, and it is likely that it is difficult to balance in their hearts.

There may be some people who are incapable and will secretly make things bad, but those are very few people after all, and if Bai Yan wants to fight with the Chu State, he needs a steady stream of soldiers, even if they are not elite.

"No! The general is relieved that he has already ordered someone to escort him! ”

HP said to Bai Yan.

"I don't know, General Wang Ben has received the news that General Li Xin is attacking the Chu State!"

Xun Shuo, who was also in the camp tent, turned his head and continued to say to Bai Yan after HP finished speaking.

Xun Shuo, who has returned from Xianyang, has now obtained the title, and Xun Shuo did not follow Li Si's advice and chose to stay in Xianyang as a councilor, so as to join the office, but chose to ask Yingzheng to return to Bai Yan, and just two hours ago, he returned to the camp.

"If General Li Xin and General Wang Ben can contain the army of Chu, we can attack the land of Jianghuai first, and then attack Shouchun!"

Xun Shuo's method is to seek stability.

After all, the land of Jianghuai is fertile, and if it sits east of Jianghuai, even if the army faces the state of Chu here, there is no need to worry about the weight of grain and grass in a short period of time.

"It's okay!"

Bai Yan looked at the map, and under the gaze of Yan Mao, Yu He and other generals, he continued to arrange the garrison, and was on guard against Xiang Yan of Chu State leading troops to kill at any time.

A moment later.

With the departure of Yan Mao, Yu He, Hewlett-Packard and others, Xun Shuo was finally able to get along with Bai Yan alone, and since he returned to the camp, Bai Yan has been discussing with other generals how the Chu army is coming, or the Chu army is besieging, how all their Qin troops should be defended and linked.

"General Wang Jian has resigned and returned home!"

Xun Shuo said to Bai Yan.

Speaking of this, Xun Shuo looked at Bai Yan's eyes, full of worry.

"Shi Bo Lisi was in Xianyang, when he talked about General Wang Qian, he said to Xun Shuo that General Wang Jian was sick, and he was afraid that he was sick!"

Xun Shuo sighed after speaking, many things in the world can not be solved by swords and soldiers, like when he arrived in Xianyang, Wang Jian had not yet resigned and returned to his hometown, but was sick and recuperating at home, and Xun Shuo went to visit after being crowned, accompanied by Shi Bo Lisi.

At first, Xun Shuo didn't think much about it, but on the way back to Tingwei's mansion, Li Si told Xun Shuo that Wang Jian's illness was probably not a disease, but a illness for Ying Zheng to see.

When Xun Shuo heard this, from Li Si's words, he also realized that Li Si meant that Wang Jian was telling Ying Zheng that he Wang Jian was already old and his health was not as good as before.

Xun Shuo had heard of it...... When Tian Ding went to Xianyang in the past, he was quite aimed at you! ”

Xun Shuo admonished Bai Yan.

The contradiction between Wang Jian and Ying Zheng now is by no means as simple as Wang Qian's contribution to destroying the two countries, it is also related to Tian Ding, and now Bai Yan, although he only destroyed the country, but when Wang Jian attacked Zhao in the past, Bai Yan was also the deputy general of the army.

This has to make Xun Shuo worry about Bai Yan's future, Xun Shuo is not worried about Bai Yan's life, even Shi Bo Lisi talked about this matter and said, Bai Yan is not Bai's family, as long as Bai Yan's origin is not a problem, Ying Zheng will never do anything to Bai Yan, Xun Shuo is just worried that one day, once Bai Yan has too high military power and prestige, he will also end up in a dilemma like Wang Qian.

Although Wang Jian led the troops to destroy Zhao Yan, to be honest, in the Qin State, the number of Wang Qian's enemies was not even one-twelfth of Bai Yan.

Once Bai Yan resigns, the trouble will be more than ten times.

"Don't worry! Don't worry! ”

Bai Yan looked at Xun Shuo's concerned look, smiled and comforted, and then asked Xun Shuo not to think about it too much, and not to mention this matter again in the future, even if there were no outsiders in the tent.

“……”

Xun Shuo looked at the smiling face, a little helpless, but then he didn't mention it again.

At this time, Xun Shuo didn't know yet.

No matter who Bai Yan is taught by, as well as the origin, and the purpose of coming to the Qin State, Ying Zheng is clear, which makes Bai Yan destined to be in front of Ying Zheng, and it is difficult for Ying Zheng to feel any trace of incomprehension, which also means that Ying Zheng knows the root of Bai Yan.

In the court of the Qin State, in front of the political enemies, it is extremely stupid to expose all the origins, hole cards, and purposes (city government), but in front of the king, these are more reassuring than any words and actions, which is also the reason why Bai Yan will not hesitate to recruit Wei to surrender after destroying Wei, and immediately attack Chu State.

The Wang family, the Li family, the Yang family, the Meng family and other Qin military meritorious families, those old generals who have made great military achievements for the Qin State, and their heirs, no matter how loyal they are to the Qin State, it is difficult to compare with Bai Yan.

Because those of their clans are all going to marry wives and have children, no matter what their purpose is, they will marry and make friends, they will exist, which is why Wang Jian does not let any heirs other than the eldest son, be an official or a general in the Qin State, it is enough for a general to support the family, no matter how many people there are, it will more or less make the king think.

Inside the tent.

Not long after Bai Yan was chatting with Xun Shuo, he heard shouting outside the tent, and a rather arrogant and domineering voice made Bai Yan know who it was just by listening to the voice.

"General, Gongzi Xiong Qi asks to see!"

Sure enough, after two breaths, I saw the soldiers enter the camp tent and report to Bai Yanyu.

Bai Yan looked at the soldiers' words, and after glancing at Xun Shuo, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the camp tent, and as soon as he walked out of the camp tent, he saw Gongzi Xiong Qi alone, with an indignant look, standing not far away and constantly scolding the Qin soldiers.

Xun Shuo followed Bai Yan's side, for this son Xiong Qi, Xun Shuo not only understood, but also 'seen' before, in the Chu State, he was very arrogant.

"Bai Yan!"

Gongzi Xiong Qi vented his dissatisfaction with Qin Yan, and when he saw Bai Yan, his face instantly looked good, and he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face.

This made Xun Shuo see this, and looked at Bai Yan beside him in surprise, I don't know what means Bai Yan used to make Xiong Qi become such an 'easy-going'.

"I heard that Gongzi wants to see Bai Yan?"

Bai Yan frowned slightly, and looked at Gongzi Xiong Qi with straight eyes.

If Bai Yan thought that Gongzi Xiong Qi was a talented and ambitious person at the beginning, but after contact, he learned more and more that Gongzi Xiong Qi was a waste material who bullied the soft and feared the hard.

It is commonly known as the nest horizontal.

For such a person, Bai Yan will not give him face, otherwise Gongzi Xiong Qi will really have the courage to commit suicide, but he will not give too much face, otherwise Gongzi Xiong Qi will kick his nose in the face.

"Bai Yan, if you don't kill us, why do you want to imprison us here in the camp?"

Xiong Qi came to Bai Yan and wanted to lose his temper to complain that he was dissatisfied, but later considering that he had offended Bai Yan in front of him and had no good fruit to eat, he had already decided to surrender, and he had to wait for a chance to come back after returning to Chu State, so Xiong Qi could only swallow his anger and show a smile.

"What does Gongzi mean to be imprisoned, could it be that Bai Yan's generals don't let Gongzi go out of the camp, or don't let Gongzi walk around in the camp?"

Bai Yan looked at Xiong Qi and said, then looked at the soldiers on the side.

The generals hurriedly reported that they did not stop Gongzi Xiong Qi, as long as Gongzi Xiong Qi did not leave the Qin army camp, they would just follow Xiong Qi and would not stop him.

"It's not! Bai Yan! ”

Gongzi Xiong Qi glanced at the two Qin pawns angrily, full of resentment, and then changed his smile and turned his head to look at Bai Yan.

Between words.

Gongzi Xiong Qi suddenly saw Xun Shuo beside Bai Yan, Gongzi Xiong Qi didn't know why, he suddenly felt that this man was a little familiar, and then suddenly remembered.

"Xun Shuo!! How did you end up here? ”

Childe Xiong Qi's eyes widened, and he looked terrified.

This had to make Xiong Qi confused, and very early, when he learned that Xunzi was invited to Chu by Chunshenjun as an official, Xiong Qi followed his father, who is now his father, to visit Xunzi together.

At that time, Xiong Qi was still in Lanling County, he had seen this Xun Shuo, and he also had some grievances, hesitated and was afraid of Xunzi, so he didn't have to report it, but he didn't expect that after so many years, Xiong Qi was here now, and he saw Xun Shuo again.

"Xun Shuo! I've seen Childe! ”

Xun Shuo was full of joy when he saw his son Xiong Qi, who was now imprisoned in the Qin army camp.

Xiong Qi saw Xun Shuo's salute, and then saw Xun Shuo's eyes, his Adam's apple moved, he took a deep breath, and seemed to be too lazy to talk to Xun Shuo, but looked at Bai Yan and laughed again.

"Bai Yan, this Changxian County is not far away, my son doesn't understand, why don't you live in the city! You see that this is a big camp of the Qin army, all of them are men, not a woman, and there are not even maids, you make this son ......, or you will ...... the beautiful concubine who was with the army before."

Xiong Qi looked at Bai Yan embarrassedly, he didn't finish his words after all, after all, Xiong Qi also wanted to be embarrassed, if it wasn't really unbearable in his heart, Xiong Qi would not have come to Bai Yan in a low voice and said these words.

Especially Xun Shuo is still on the side.

"I see!"

When Bai Yan heard Xiong Qi's words, he thought of what he had seen and heard when he went to Chu State Shouchun, and he could understand Xiong Qi's dissatisfaction, the degree of extravagance in the life of the children of the Chu State Shi clan was far beyond the imagination of the Qin State.

Just when Xiong Qi thought that Bai Yan was going to think for a long time, and might even not agree to his request, he suddenly saw Bai Yan turn around and look at the other Qin soldiers.

"Pass my order and send the son to Changxian!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked at Xiong Qi.

"If Childe has needs in the future, Bai Yan will definitely meet Childe, and Childe will go to the city to wait!"

Bai Yan said.

After saying a few words, not to mention Xun Shuo on the side, Xiong Qidu looked surprised, and then was full of joy.

"Seriously! That son, thank you General Bai! ”

After Xiong Qi finished speaking, he saw that Bai Yan asked Qin Shu to take him away, thinking of this period of time, all he took was a biting cold shower, he didn't eat much meat, he slept in coarse cloth, and there was not even a woman on the hard and cold bed, Xiong Qi had enough of such days.

Thinking that Bai Yan had promised him that he would return the beautiful concubines and maids he had brought with him later, this made Xiong Qi very happy, and after saying goodbye to Bai Yan, he turned around and left with Qin Yan.

"What else can he use?"

Xun Shuo looked at Xiong Qi's departing back, and looked at Bai Yan curiously, as Bai Yan's henchman, Xun Shuo knew Bai Yan's personality, and Bai Yan would never please Xiong Qi.

At present, Bai Yan agreed to Xiong Qi's request, and Xiong Qi must have the value of use.

"Previously, when attacking Xiyi, he captured Chu General Jingzhi, and got the beauty surnamed Yan in his tent, this woman is Jingzhi against the scales, I have seen it, it is indeed peerless, if it weren't for the generals who thought that Bai Yan wanted, it is estimated that they would have already opened their mouths to request, rather than let other generals think about it, it is better to throw it to Gongzi Xiong Qi, if Gongzi Xiong Qi is not afraid, let people take Jingzhi with him."

Bai Yan explained to Xun Shuo, and then looked at Xiong Qi's departing back.

"Xiong Qi is afraid that he will have to return it to the Chu State, and it has been investigated clearly, there was a descendant of the old general Jing Fang of the Chu State in the army, named Jing Yu, the father and son both died because of Xiong Qi, if there is Jing Zhi who dies when Xiong Qi and Yan Meiren are happy, I am afraid that many big families and small families in this Jing clan will have resentment towards Xiong Qi."

Bai Yan thought of Changping Jun, so he kept Xiong Qi, as one of the preparatory means, Xiong Qi, as the son of Chu State, was qualified to succeed to the throne in Chu State, especially his father also set a good example for Xiong Qi.

It's a pity to kill such a person, it's better to send him back to Chu.

The two countries fought each other, and they were all several temptations, looking for a chance to kill with one blow, and the more people like Xiong Qi and the more chaotic the Chu State became, the more opportunities Bai Yan had.

"You're willing to do it!"

Xun Shuo laughed and teased, without answering Bai Yan, naturally Xun Shuo had already praised Bai Yan's plan.

Although Xun Shuo didn't know that Changping Jun would rebel, he couldn't stop Xun Shuo from understanding Xiong Qi's heart, and when Bai Yan said the general plan, Xun Shuo had already determined that there was no need for people to kill Jing Zhi at all, Xiong Qi was afraid, and he would definitely kill Jing Zhi himself.

"If you plan to let Xiong Qi go back, remember, leave Yan Meiren first, I will arrange for someone to secretly take Yan Meiren to Shouchun, and when Xiong Qi returns home, hand it over to Xiong Qi."

Xun Shuo suggested with a smile.

This is the first time that Xun Shuo has helped a person who once had a grudge so wholeheartedly.

"Okay, that's up to you!"

Bai Yan glanced at Xun Shuo and nodded with a smile.

The Qin army battalion.

As the sky darkened and the cold wind blew more and more biting, the only sunset in the sky did not make people feel the slightest warmth.

Outside the camp, a team of iron cavalry soldiers escorted a carriage and slowly drove to the gate of the camp, and the Qin guards guarding the camp were dumbfounded when they saw the small window of the carriage and a woman looking outside.

In this Qin army camp where all men were there, suddenly seeing such a moving woman, Qin Shu felt that the air stopped for a moment, and then when he couldn't see the woman, he was full of regret and couldn't take another look.

Just when a Qin pawn wanted to whisper, he suddenly saw the eyes of the iron cavalry soldiers, and instantly Qin pawns became afraid, this is the kind of eyes that Qin pawns have never seen the iron cavalry show such eyes.

This also made the Qin guards at the city gate realize that the woman was not simple, so they no longer dared to have the idea of discussing.

"It's Miss Xu!"

"It's really Miss Xu!"

Unlike the other Qin soldiers, a few people had just gone to the riverside to wash and come back, and the long-haired and wet side riders and iron cavalry soldiers saw the woman's appearance, and they all talked about it with a happy face.

In Yanmen, unlike Bai Yan, in the hearts of the border cavalry soldiers and the iron cavalry soldiers, Xu Shi has a different status in the eyes of all the soldiers, compared with the beautiful and attractive Shen Meiren, who makes people lose their soul at a glance, and the lady who is so beautiful that people are intoxicated, Xu Shi has a higher position in the hearts of the soldiers.

Beautiful but not glamorous, touching pretty face, and a body of medical skills, whenever a soldier is sick or eats the wrong thing, looking at Master Xu who takes his pulse, the soldiers are not good at words, but they will keep their gratitude firmly in their hearts.

The parents of the doctors, and Master Xu, who treated them and detoxified them, was a unique existence in the hearts of the soldiers when they were in Yanmen, and the soldiers also knew that the soldiers who were poisoned in Daliang were also Xu Shi who traveled thousands of miles to Daliang to depoison them.

This is also the reason why those Qin soldiers want to discuss and will be warned, in addition to the generals, in the eyes of the border cavalry soldiers and the iron cavalry soldiers, these Qin soldiers, not to mention one or two people, are hundreds, thousands, or even more people, and they are not afraid of the side cavalry and the iron cavalry.
