Suiyang City.

In the wide and huge city road, more than a dozen Qin soldiers are in a group, constantly patrolling in the city road, and the flags of Qin are swaying slightly in the cold wind, looking at the city, the streets are in countless houses, and the rows extend to the distance, intersecting the streets in other directions.

The houses are dense, and there seems to be a pattern.

"The way those soldiers look now is really scary!"

"It's not, and I don't know why the general left those Chu pawns, kill them and don't kill them, and waste food!"

"You talk less, the general stays, there is naturally a reason for the general, you don't provoke those soldiers!"

I could see a few Qin soldiers walking and chatting, as if they had already stood for a moment, and their faces were a little sleepy.

Just as he was talking, one Qin pawn suddenly stopped, and the other Qin pawns were a little puzzled when they saw this, but before they could speak, they all instinctively looked around, and then looked at the sky, noticing that a little snowflake had faintly fallen.

In one of the mansions in the city, not only were the gates of the mansion guarded by iron cavalry soldiers, but also in the mansion, there were iron cavalry soldiers standing at every corner, and other people could be seen on each other's left and right.

Even in the mansion, there are vicious dogs in captivity, which are used to guard the fence at night.

Inside the study.

Xu Shi took a plate of tea, slowly came to the wooden table, looked at Bai Yan, who was bowing his head and writing bamboo slips with an ink pen, holding a hot tea, and pouring it into the cup.

"General, it's snowing a little!"

Xu Shi said softly.

Bai Yan raised his head when he heard this, a little surprised, and then reached out to push open the covered wooden window, looked at the yard, and sure enough, he saw a faint snowflake falling.

However, these snowflakes should not be the climate, the real heavy snow, often falls suddenly, in a very short period of time, it seems to spread all over the world, often see the situation, before going to bed has not seen the snow, and after waking up, push open the door, you will see the heavy snow outside the door, have been thigh-deep.

However, these snowflakes should also be a precursor to heavy snowfall.

"The Chu army will definitely take measures in these days."

Bai Yan put down the wooden window, and after the cold wind disappeared, the warmth of the stove in the house made the biting cold dissipate instantly.

"Master Xu, if my army is defeated in the Chu State in this battle, you leave the Chu Land immediately, don't go back to Yanmen, and go directly to the Qi State!"

Bai Yan looked at Master Xu.

Although there were many preparations, after all, it was a battle between the two armies, and no one dared to say anything certain, and Bai Yan was also afraid that this battle would be defeated by Xiang Yan and Jing Qi of Chu State.

Bai Yan has always liked to lead the troops alone, so that even if he dies in battle with all the generals under his command and dies on the battlefield with the soldiers, he has no regrets, after all, the path of enlisting on the battlefield is Bai Yan's own choice.

But right now, there is one more Xu Shi by his side, and it is also Bai Yan in Chudi, who is rarely worried.

Battlefield killing, has nothing to do with women, and if he does not return to Yanmen, Bai Yan knows that life and death are difficult to know after defeat, even if Yang Lao is in Yanmen, it will be turbulent, and only by going to Qi will Xu Shifang be safe.

"Why did the general say that......"

When Xu Shi heard Bai Yan's words, he knelt down at the wooden table, his eyes darkened, and after he lowered his head and finished speaking, he stopped making a sound.

At that moment, there was another knock at the door.

"General!"

Xun Shuo's voice came from outside the door, and after Bai Yan heard this, he let Xun Shuo in.

The door opened, and then Xu Shi slowly got up, looked at Yan Mao, Yang Yan, Hewlett-Packard and other Qin generals who came in with the cold wind, bowed their heads and slowly greeted them, and slowly walked out from these people.

Before closing the door, Xu Shi couldn't help but look at Bai Yan, who was kneeling behind the wooden table among the many generals, his beautiful eyes seemed to fall into memory, and after a few breaths, he looked at Bai Yan again, his gaze became clearer and firmer.

"General! The grain and grass have already been sent to those Chu army soldiers! ”

Yang Yan, as a deputy general, looked at Bai Yan and took the lead to speak, and after thinking about it, Yang Yan looked at Bai Yan.

"General, Yang Yan thinks that those pawns are available right now!"

Yang Yan suggested.

Rushed here from Hongcheng, Yang Yan had seen Zhang Shu, and after learning about the Chu army's surrender, he immediately went to see those Chu army's soldiers, and the first time he saw it, Yang Yan couldn't help but shake his head.

Yang Yan has never seen it, a division of soldiers can make people so jealous, the eyes of those Chu pawns, Yang Yan, who has been on the battlefield, knows better than anyone else, under those calm eyes, those Chu pawns really don't care about anything, even their lives.

No matter where this kind of person is, it will make people scared and instinctively stay away.

And right now, there are more than 30,000 such people!

More than 30,000 people! An army is sufficient.

"Wait, no hurry!"

Bai Yan didn't agree with Yang Yan's suggestion, it's too early to use those Chu pawns now.

Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared!

Bai Yan thought that there would be two men surnamed Cao and Liu in later generations, and in terms of buying people's hearts, Bai Yan had to learn from those two, and used different ways on different occasions, the state of Chu had Xiong Qi, and the Jing family.

The hearts of these 30,000 Chu soldiers, Bai Yan has an opportunity.

"There is one thing for Jean to wait here today."

Bai Yan looked at everyone, got up, and came to the wooden shelf with a huge map hanging in the study, looking at all the map line drawings and the names of the cities on it.

"Get the ...... message"

When Bai Yan said this, he turned his head to look at Yang Yan and HP.

"General Fang, he has rebelled against the Qin State in private!"

Bai Yan said.

At present, Xun Shuo, Yan Mao, Yang Yan, and Hewlett-Packard are all Bai Yan's henchmen, and they are also the generals of the Qin army that Bai Yan needs to call this time, so now Bai Yan will tell all the origin and reason of the news.

Including when he was in the beam, Fang arranged his henchmen to secretly monitor his every move, and also informed several people completely.

"General Fir!"

"It's him!"

When Yang Yan and Yan Mao heard Bai Yan's words, they looked at each other in surprise and frowned.

After learning that Chang Wenjun and Chang Pingjun betrayed the Qin State, resulting in the defeat of the Qin army in Li Xin's place, not to mention Yang Yan, even Yan Mao was privately worried that the Qin army here would also have rebel generals.

After all, Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun are both officials headed by the Chu family, one writer and one martial arts, and their prestige and cronies in the government and the opposition are intertwined, and Yan Mao is also afraid that someone is betraying Bai Yan behind his back and helping Chu State.

In the face of Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, hundreds of thousands of Chu troops, Yan Mao was not timid, it was a big deal to fight to the death, and finally died on the battlefield, so it was worth following the general all the way over, but he couldn't accept that he and the general were defeated outside the battlefield and betrayed by the generals of the Qin army.

Therefore, during this period of time, Zan Shou, Zhong You, and Yan Yue, who came from Qianzhong County, were the objects that Yan Mao had been vigilant about, and even Yang Yan was the same.

As a result, I didn't expect that the person who secretly took refuge in the Chu State was actually a fir!

"In that case, the general planted it in Zhonggo Castle, this is the preparation ......"

Suddenly, Xun Shuo's voice came, Yang Yan, Yan Mao and others looked at it, and then saw Xun Shuo looking at the map, and with an unexpected expression, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the north of the army, returning to the important city of Qufu, Zhongwu City!

At this time, Yang Yan and the others reacted, and Bai Yan had transferred all the fir and doves to Zhongwu City and ordered them to stay in Zhongwu City.

It was true that such an arrangement was in the past, but now, knowing that Fang had taken refuge in the Chu State, Bai Yan's actions were very obvious.

"The general wants to lead the Chu army to attack Zhongwu?"

Xun Shuo turned his head and looked at Bai Yan.

Seeing Xun Shuo's gaze, Bai Yan did not hide it and nodded.

"We are in Chu, after winter, it seems to be beneficial to Chu, but for Chu, it is really a mixed pros and cons, Chu is also worried that after the heavy snow, Qin will send troops again, so at this time, not only our Qin army is worried about grain and grass, but also Chu generals Xiang Yan and Jing Qi are also anxious to defeat our Qin army still in Chu!"

When Bai Yan said this, he stepped forward and stood beside Xun Shuo, pointing to the road on the map where Jing Qi could go to Zhongwu City.

"In a head-to-head battle, whether it is us or Xiang Yan, we are not sure of a complete victory! So now, it depends on Chu generals Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, when they will take this step! Once Jing Qi sends troops, he will attack Zhongwu City......"

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Yan Mao and Yang Yan.

"General Yang Yan and General Yan Mao, the two of you must remember that before Jing Qi reacts, you must surround Jing Qi outside Zhongwu City with the dove!"

Bai Yan instructed.

"The soldiers and horses of the Chu army under the command of Xiang Yan and Jing Qi are far superior to my Qin army, and only by dividing and breaking them can we have a chance of winning!"

In Bai Yan's mind, he couldn't help but remember that when Bai Qi was in Yique, facing the allied forces of Wei and Korea, in terms of soldiers and horses, Bai Qi was only half of the Wei and Han coalition forces, but in the end, Bai Qi broke through one by one and destroyed 240,000 soldiers and horses of Wei and Han.

Bai Yan didn't know how Bai Qi planned and calculated when he faced the Wei and Han coalition forces, but now compared to Bai Qi, Bai Yan also has his own advantages.

Buying and selling, the movements of the Chu army, and the purpose of the Chu army, these Bai Yan can all be investigated, and they are already clear, not to mention the six pawns of Ruo Ao, and those Chu generals in the bamboo slips.

Even Xiong Qi, the son of Chu State, may surprise him at a critical time.

These were the few advantages that Bai Yan had when leading his troops in Chu and facing the encirclement of Xiang Yan and Jing Qi's combined troops.

"No!"

"No!!"

Yan Mao and Yang Yan heard Bai Yan's words and gave up their orders.

For Yang Yan and Yan Mao, knowing who rebelled against Qin was the meticulous work of the Chu State in the army, this is easy to do, they have also seen it, and they have some understanding, no wonder there are few words in the past, and it is the most easily ignored among the many Qin generals.

I thought it was no good opinion, but I didn't expect that it was someone who was bought by the Chu State.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Yan Mao and Yang Yan raised their hands one after another, and then turned their heads to see the door of the study slowly open.

"General, General Zhang Chu asks to see!"

At this time, he came to the study and reported to Bai Yan.

When Bai Yan heard this, he glanced at Xun Shuo, didn't Zhang Shu already send him to Hongcheng with Yingxi?

With doubts in his heart, Bai Yan turned his head and asked Zhang Yan to bring Zhang Chu in.

Yan Mao, Yang Yan, Hewlett-Packard and others on the side also looked at each other very puzzled.

A moment later.

Under the gaze of Bai Yan, Xun Shuo, Yan Mao and others, Zhang Chou, Zhang Ping, father and son, whose faces were still weak, slowly came to the study under the leadership of the emperor.

"Zhang Shu, thank you General Bai for saving your life!"

"Zhang Ping thanked the general for saving his life!"

Seeing Bai Yan, both father and son knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Yan gratefully.

"Why is this the two generals, they are all colleagues, serving the Qin State, and Bai Yan's actions are also for the Qin State, what a word of kindness!"

Bai Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help, so that Zhang Zhuo's father and son didn't have to be polite when they got up.

Under Bai Yan's gaze, he also stepped forward to help Zhang Ping get up, looked at Zhang Ping up close, and clearly saw that Zhang Ping's jaw and neck were extremely hideous, not a sword wound, it should be made by Changge.

Obviously, Zhang Ping should have been almost killed by Changge, and then he was injured and fell off the horse.

"Bai Yan has ordered someone to escort the two generals to Hongcheng, why?"

Bai Yan looked at Zhang Zhuo, who got up, with a puzzled expression.

And just as Bai Yan's words were finished, Zhang Shu shook his head and looked at Bai Yan.

"General Bai, Zhang Shu has come to ask to see him now, hoping that the general will not send our father and son back to Xianyang!"

Zhang Shu said, and then told Bai Yan with a disappointed face in front of all the generals that they could not escape the blame for the defeat of the trip back to Xianyang, and they really had no face to go back to the court of Qin State and meet the king.

Zhang Chu would rather die on the battlefield than lose this face.

Inside the study.

Zhang Chou's words, whether it is Xun Shuo, Yang Yan, HP and others, can all understand Zhang Chou, and they also know a lot of words, but Zhang Chou didn't say it.

is different from Ying Xi, after Ying Xi goes back, he will not only lose his official position and lose his title, but also be punished by clan rules, but even so, the identity of a Ying clan makes Ying Xi not need to worry about anything, even if there is no official title, he will have the opportunity to get a reward in the future, and then be promoted to a knighthood, everything starts from scratch.

It's no secret that these are no longer secrets.

And Zhang Shu is different, even if he was born in Jiangmen Zhang Shu, his connections were not high, and he finally got Wang Qian's appreciation, and he married the Wang family in his early years, but that's all.

After going back, even if there is no punishment, but after losing his official position and losing his title, Zhang Chou's age is no longer as young as Ying Xi, even with the help of the Wang family, it is likely that it will be difficult to have another chance to make meritorious contributions.

On the contrary, Zhang Shu's eldest son, Zhang Han, will be the right school commander of the Shaofu, and he will be in charge of prisoners and prisoners, which makes Zhang Shu, as a father, embarrassed.

"Two generals and rest in the city! I will let people arrange the mansion, since the two generals would rather die and want to make meritorious contributions to the Qin State again, how could Bai Yan live up to the wishes of the two generals. ”

Bai Yan and Xun Shuo glanced at each other, and when they saw Xun Shuo nodding their heads, they said to Zhang Shuo.

Everyone was sent away, and they had to rush back with their injuries, Bai Yan didn't stay, then it would be a little unreasonable, if it became Zhang Yan's heart disease, it would make Bai Yan busy and couldn't find a good deal.

"Two generals, please!"

Xun Shuo stepped forward at this time, bowed to Zhang Shu and Zhang Ping, and then made a gesture of please.

"Thank you, General Bai!"

Zhang Shu looked at Bai Yan gratefully, and then saluted, and after Bai Yan returned the salute, he turned around and left with Xun Shuo.

Before Zhang Ping left, his eyes were also full of gratitude and glanced at Bai Yan.

"This chapter is the father and son of the general, it's quite wronged!"

After Yang Yan saw General Zhang Yan leave, he sighed deeply, and then turned his head to Bai Yan and said.

Born in the Yang family, Yang Yan is not very familiar with General Zhang Chou, although he is not very familiar, but he is not unfamiliar with it, recalling that this time General Zhang Chou led the troops to attack the Chu State, and he was surrounded by the Chu army before he could fight against the Chu army, and even Yang Yan felt that General Zhang Chou was really wronged.

"The 200,000 Qin army, who is not wronged?"

HP shook his head: "Changping Jun rebelled against Qin~!! Who would have thought in the world! No one could have expected it! ”

Unfamiliar with Zhang Shu, HP is naturally more straightforward when he talks, and when he talks about injustice, HP can't help but think of General Li Mu at the beginning.

General Li Mu made many great military exploits for Zhao Guoguo, but Zhao Guo lost General Li Mu.

Thinking that Changping Jun, who was the right prime minister of the Qin State, actually betrayed the Qin State, in the eyes of HP, no one could have expected this matter, and it was impossible to even have a trace of suspicion.

………………………

Two days later.

Not out of Bai Yan's expectations, with Yan Mao and Yang Yan leading the order to leave only two days, Bai Yan was in the study, and when he was dealing with the affairs of the army, he suddenly saw the soldiers of the scout camp send a message that the army of Chu had come to a place less than twenty miles outside Suiyang City, and calculated the distance back, at this time, the Chu army was probably only fifteen miles away from Suiyang City.

Hearing the news of this Chu army, Bai Yan was full of emotion, and his eyes were full of solemnity when he thought of the Chu army siege he was about to face.

But fortunately, Bai Yan was not too surprised.

Two days ago, when he learned that there were signs of snow, Bai Yan told Xu Shi that Xiang Yan would definitely make a move in a few days.

"Pass the order, the whole army will enter the city, and prepare to defend the city and prepare for war!"

Bai Yan called out to his cronies outside the door and opened his mouth to command.

Seeing that his cronies were ordered to leave, Bai Yan put down the bamboo slips, got up slowly, and was about to put on his armor, when he saw that Xu Shi had already come to the study at this time.

Seeing that Xu Shi wanted to help him pierce his armor, Bai Yan did not refuse.

However, to Bai Yan's surprise, after putting on the armor, Xu Shi, who was holding Zhan Lu, gently hung Zhan Lu next to the armor, and then the whole person slowly pasted it up.

Feeling the black hair next to his cheeks, the soft beauty in his arms, and the faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, Bai Yan was stunned, he didn't expect that Xu Shi, who had always been obedient, would suddenly make such a move, and he couldn't react in an instant.

Bai Yan was a little crying and laughing, and was about to speak, but he heard Xu Shi in his arms, who had already spoken softly.

"Xu Shi has prepared a three-foot white silk, if the general dies in battle, Xu Shi will never live alone in the world!"

Xu Shiqiao's face was pressed against Bai Yan's chest, feeling the coldness of the armor, and under the few long black hairs that fell, her beautiful eyes were full of determination.

The mother is not there.

The revenge has been avenged, recalling that when he returned to Qi to visit his mother's tomb, Xu Shi told his mother in front of the tomb that she met the person she liked in this life.

"General!!

The hurried voice came, and by the time Bai Yan and Xu Shi reacted, they had already run into the study and saw the two of them.

As if aware of something, he smiled awkwardly.

"General......! I'm waiting outside! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Yan to speak, he turned around and left quickly, and did not forget to close the door of the study when he was finished.

Bai Yan looked at Xu Shi, who had already retreated and bowed his head silently, and was a little crying and laughing, especially at this time when he heard the faint sound of a stump outside the door.

"The general has something important, and the Chu army still has fifteen miles, so don't disturb the general's ...... yet"

When Bai Yan heard his words, he looked helpless, and was about to leave, but then he thought of something and stopped to look at Xu Shi.

"Don't worry! In a short period of time, the Chu army may not be able to win! Live well and lose that white silk! ”

Bai Yan didn't say much, looking at Xu Shi's serious appearance, she felt that Xu Shi was a little cute, and asked her to prepare for the worst and leave, but she was ready to Bai Aya.

After the instruction, Bai Yan turned around and left the study under the gaze of Master Xu.

Xu Shi stood in place, pinching the corners of his clothes, but his eyes clearly showed that he didn't seem to intend to throw away the white silk as Bai Yan had ordered.

When Xu Shi was treating the wounds of the soldiers, he often heard the soldiers talk about defending the city, and often heard the soldiers talk about going to the battlefield, whether it was defending the city or attacking the city, or fighting, it was resigned to fate.

Therefore, Xu Shi knew that with the attack of the army of Chu, things were far from being as easy as Bai Yan said.
