"General, the Chu people found a lot of deliberately wet grain in the grain millet, if the soldiers hadn't found it early, at least more than half of the grain millet would have been bad!"

Guan Shou came to Bai Yan with an indignant face and reported to Bai Yanyu.

Thinking of the Chu people, Guan Shou is really angry, in the bags of grain millet, there is a part of the soaked grain millet, although the weight will increase a lot, but it is difficult to make people suspicious, after all, not all of them are wet grain millet, and the weight of each bag is different.

"It's okay!"

When Bai Yan heard Guan Shou's words, he was not worried.

"Let the soldiers stop eating those grains first!"

Bai Yan told Guan Shou, then got up and left the city with the yak.

At night.

In the huge granaries, the soldiers of the Qin army held torches and watched Bai Yan come to the granary, and when Xu Shi saw Bai Yan, he also got up and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Very early, Bai Yan learned from his uncle that the Chu family had enshrined the Baiyue wizards in captivity.

Therefore, Bai Yan will be extremely careful about the things of the Chu State, especially the things given by Xiang Yan.

"General, all have ......"

Xu Shi said to Bai Yan, those soaked grain millet, in addition to deliberately destroying the grain millet, is also through this method, so that the poisonous water can always remain in the grain millet, so that as long as the time is long enough, even if it is washed before cooking, there will be residues in the corn.

This method is extremely hidden, and it is also the best way to poison in a short period of time, and when it is discovered, they basically only think that the Chu army wants to destroy the grain, and does not want the Qin army to eat these grains and grasses, so it is like this.

No one would have thought that if the soldiers of the Qin army hurriedly took these grains to dry, and ate them in the future, the soldiers would be unwell at least and sick at worst.

"Take someone out!"

Bai Yan did not answer Master Xu in a hurry, but turned his head and asked him to take the soldiers to wait outside the warehouse.

After seeing that the soldiers had left, Bai Yan turned his head to look at Master Xu.

"Is there an antidote to this poison?"

Bai Yan looked at Master Xu.

Xu Shi nodded, but his brows were a little tight, and then he looked at Bai Yan.

"General, if you want to cure these poisons, the herbs you need will take a lot of time to prepare, and Master Xu is worried that if there is a mistake, it will lead to more soldiers being poisoned. Xu Shi wanted to ask the general to let Xu Shi go out of the city and go to find herbs in person, only in this way could he be prepared! ”

Xu Shi said to Bai Yan, although these poisons are vague, they are not highly toxic, and it is not difficult to find the antidote to the herbs, but I am worried that there will be a shortage in the city, so it is best to go out of the city and prepare some more.

"Who said I was going to get rid of these poisons?"

Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Xu Shi actually wanted to go out of the city to find an antidote.

The Qin army needs grain and grass, and it is no exaggeration to say that the grain and grass in the city is no longer enough for Bai Yan to feed the soldiers for a few days, and the Qin army in the rear may be even less.

But for now.

Since he knew that these grains were poisonous, Bai Yan would not give them to the soldiers to eat.

"General......

Xu Shi was a little stunned, until Bai Yan gave Xu Shi a look, looked at these grains, and made a poisoning action.

In an instant, Xu Shi reacted that Bai Yan was going to add some poison to these poisons.

"As long as there is an antidote to the poison under the Chu army, I will be relieved!"

Bai Yan smiled at Xu Shi, and his words were full of deep meaning.

In Bai Yan's smiling gaze, Xu Shi couldn't help laughing, and then thought of something and lowered his head slightly.

Outside the granary.

When Bai Yan walked out of the granary with Master Xu, he and a group of soldiers, wearing clothes and armor, wearing Qin swords, and holding torches, were waiting for Bai Yan to come out.

"General, it's snowing!!"

He stepped forward and said to Bai Yan.

As a person who protects Bai Yan's left and right, he naturally knows that Bai Yan has been waiting for a heavy snowfall a long time ago, and now looking at the snowflakes falling densely next to the torches, he can't help but smile.

Listening to the words, Bai Yan naturally saw that under the night, the sky had really fallen snowflakes, which was very dense.

"Order people to guard the grain and grass, and do not open it without an order!"

Bai Yan commanded at him.

He nodded.

"You go back to the mansion first! I'm going to the big camp! ”

Bai Yan said to Xu Shi, and then asked his cronies to protect Xu Shi to go back, and after instructing Xu Shi, Bai Yan turned around, took the barb, and rushed towards the direction of the camp in the city.

In the large camp in the city, in one house after another, dozens of soldiers of the Qin army were divided into one room, and thick hay could be seen everywhere.

And the fire burning on a pile of wood was the only place for the Qin soldiers to keep warm.

"Let me make a fire!"

"It's getting colder and colder! It's already snowing outside, and I don't know how long the Chu army will attack! ”

"Whatever, as many Chu troops come, we will kill as many as we want! There is no shortage of food in the city! Kill until the Chu army does not dare to attack the city! ”

A few voices sounded, and more Qin soldiers and soldiers were still silently roasting the fire, looking at the fire quietly, no one wanted to talk, fighting during the day, not to mention tiredness, this day was getting colder and colder day by day, basically everyone would be awakened in the night, and they had to come over to bake the fire, and after warming their bodies, they continued to sleep.

All the Qin soldiers knew that they had no way out.

The city is broken, they are all going to die in the hands of the Chu army, only by killing the Chu army, they can live, at the moment, the only thing that makes them happy is that they are followed by the famous general Bai Yan, they all realize that with Bai Yan, they not only attack the city and make meritorious contributions, but also the elite of the Chu army attacking the city and night attack, they will also be Bai Yan, leading them to kill and retreat again and again.

None of them know whether they will survive tomorrow in the face of the attack of the Chu army, at this time, only this quiet night, where there is no sound of killing, belongs to them, and can make them miss their wives and children at home, miss their parents, and their friends and relatives who came here together.

"Come out, quick! All come out! ”

Suddenly, the door opened, and a cold wind blew into the room in an instant, which made all the Qin soldiers shiver, that is, the fire was blown by the cold wind and was no longer so vigorous, swaying from side to side.

"What's the matter? It's snowing outside, what are you going out for? ”

An old soldier asked puzzledly, the soldiers have already taken off their armor, and it is not their turn to be on duty at this time! Why do you want to go out on this snowy day?

All the Qin soldiers also looked at the general who opened the door, and everyone felt cold, but in the face of that general, no matter how much the soldiers complained, they didn't dare to say it, military law is not a joke.

"The general is here, quick!"

The general of the Qin army said.

"Which general?"

A young and thin Qin pawn was full of curiosity, after all, there were many generals in the city, who called them out in the middle of the night?

"General Bai Yan!"

The general of the Qin army urged.

When all the soldiers of the Qin army heard this, they were all stunned, and then they got up one after another, without saying a word, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction or complaint in their hearts.

For General Bai Yan, don't look at them as Wei people, but since following General Bai Yan, they have all regarded themselves as General Bai Yan's soldiers and agree with Bai Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

This is not only because Bai Yan gave them meritorious service and let them be rewarded, but also because Bai Yan led the troops and made them invincible and invincible, but more importantly, it came from their deep admiration and love for Bai Yan.

After so many days, whether it is to stand guard in the city tower or to inspect the soldiers, who does not know that Bai Yan, as the commander of the entire army, is not in the mansion, big fish and meat, and not in the mansion, surrounded by fine wine and beautiful people, and there is no fine clothes and jade food, and the night is fragrant.

But like them, in this cold world, guarding Suiyang City together, sleeping on hay mats together, and even the Chu army's night attack, the first person to meet the Chu army was not them, but the general Bai Yan who was still sleeping in the city tower.

They are just cultivators, and before they followed Bai Yan, they were all ordinary Wei people, but what about Bai Yan? Although they all already know that Bai Yan is not a child of the Bai family, everyone knows that Bai Yan's origin is definitely not ordinary, not to mention that Bai Yan is now a favorite of King Yingzheng of Qin, and he has made great achievements for the Qin State.

Bai Yan, who should have enjoyed himself comfortably, and was even dangerous, could leave alone, but like them, he even slept in a place that was even more dangerous than their city, and all the soldiers of the Qin army in the city, even if there were people who did not like the Qin State and did not intend to be loyal to the Qin State, gradually quieted down and slowly served Bai Yan like them.

Some people even joked in private, who didn't say that they came to mess around? If the Qin army was defeated, it would take refuge in the state of Chu, why did it suddenly change? Don't you dislike the Qin State?

And the thin-skinned soldiers will laugh and be speechless, and the thick-skinned people will always retort strongly, it is true that they don't like the Qin people, but although he Bai Yan is not a Wei person, he is not a Qin person either! Serving under Bai Yan, who is a Qi person, is not considered to be serving the Qin State!

Inside the camp of the Qin army.

All the open spaces, in front of all the wooden houses, all kept walking out of the Qin State soldiers, and everyone hugged their bodies, in the dark night, drenched with snowflakes, looking at Bai Yan riding war horses in the distance under the illumination of many Qin soldiers holding fires.

Although it was cold, the soldiers still followed Bai Yan's instructions, walked out of the comfortable wooden house behind them, and came to the cold and biting cold wind, listening patiently to what Bai Yan had ordered.

"General! The soldiers have come out! ”

Guan Shou walked to Bai Yan's war horse and said to Bai Yan, trembling as he spoke, and under the faint firelight, hot mist kept coming out of his mouth.

Bai Yan rode a war horse, his eyes looked in front of him, all around him were densely packed with Qin army soldiers, he couldn't see his head, the faces of tens of thousands of Qin army soldiers were different, in the cold wind, Bai Yan couldn't remember it at all.

After getting ready, Bai Yan withdrew his gaze.

"Today's Bai Yan's words, everyone, be sure to inform all the soldiers, inform every soldier standing guard and every patrolling soldier in the city!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said, in everyone's eyes, under the dense snowflakes, it sounded in the quiet Qin army camp.

"Bai Yan is here, and he promises to all the soldiers, five days! Stick to Suiyang City for another five days! Five days later, boxes of money will be distributed to all the soldiers under the city gate! After dividing the money, Bai Yan will leave Suiyang City with the soldiers! ”

Bai Yan said word by word under the gaze of all the cronies beside him.

And the Qin soldiers and soldiers in the entire Qin army camp were all stunned when they heard Bai Yan's words, and looked at each other with surprise, and then their faces showed some disbelief.

The general said that the troops would be withdrawn in five days???

In other words, after five days, they will be able to retreat, and they don't need to stay here anymore and fight with the Chu army?

"Really?"

"Didn't I hear it wrong?"

"I'm still missing my wife at home......"

The noise sounded everywhere, and in the noise, under the faint firelight, you could see the excitement on the faces of those Qin army soldiers.

And just when all the soldiers of the Qin army were full of joy, Bai Yan's voice came again.

"After leaving Suiyang City, Bai Yan promised to wait, within a month, he would let everyone, with this money, return to his hometown in the former Wei Land, go to his parents, wife and children, take this money, go back to get together with his wife and children, and spend the cold winter!"

In the dark night, Bai Yan said loudly, in front of everyone, he made a promise to all the soldiers of the Qin army.

And as soon as these words came out, in an instant, all the soldiers of the Qin army were stunned in place, their mouths open, and they looked at Bai Yan in disbelief.

Not to mention those Qin army soldiers, even Guan Shou, Yak, and HP who came with him on the side, all looked at Bai Yan in confusion, looking at Bai Yan's smiling cheeks.

In a flash.

Under the darkness of the night, all the Qin troops were boiling.

"Great!!"

"I'm going to be able to go home!!"

"General!! Checkmate!!! ”

Countless soldiers of the Qin army shouted loudly with an excited face, ignoring the generals around them.

More and more soldiers of the Qin army also looked happy, regardless of the severe cold and snowfall, raised their arms and shouted at Bai Yan!

"General!!"

"General!!

The entire Qin army camp, as Bai Yan's words continued to be passed on, the whole army of soldiers was boiling, countless shouts, resounding through the night, beside a personal bonfire in the camp, the cold winter snow, it seemed that at this moment, the soldiers no longer felt the stinging, one by one excited Qin army soldiers, their faces were full of smiles, and the surrounding black pressure, countless soldiers, shouted together, looking at Bai Yan riding a horse in the distance.

Almost every soldier of the Qin army looked at Bai Yan in their eyes, they were so loved, not to mention that the soldier died as a confidant, if it was a woman, they were eager to make a promise.

It's no wonder that the soldiers of the Qin Army are like this, but Bai Yan's words are like a big killing weapon, pointing directly at the hearts of the people, reaching the depths of the hearts of the soldiers, the weakest, and the most concerned, which makes almost any soldier unable to calm down.

Everyone has concerns, even if they don't have wives and children, they also have parents, which can't help but make every Qin army soldier think that in five days, they will be able to divide the boxes of money and leave here, and they don't need to face the army of Chu, and in another thirty days, the general will give an order to let them return home with money.

Is it five days? Compared with the previous battles day after day, with no end in sight, it is not worth mentioning at all, is it thirty days long? After leaving Suiyang City, there is no need to face the army of Chu, let alone thirty days, even if there are thirty more days, the soldiers can afford to wait.

Thirty days later, he returned home with money!!

Go back to see the people of your hometown, see your parents, you don't need to fight in Chudi! Stay away from the fighting.

Hope burns in the hearts of all soldiers, although there is no raging fire, but under this snowy night, all soldiers are not afraid of the cold wind, let alone the cold of the snow.

Although there are many Chu troops, the Qin army dares to fight and can fight!!

The starry sky is missing at night.

In the dark night, not only Xu Shi, who was in the mansion in the city, clearly heard the shouts echoing in the sky, but even outside Suiyang City, in the dark night, the scouts of the Chu State guarding Suiyang City vaguely heard something, and after hearing it clearly, the scouts looked at each other in the dark night, with a shocked face.

Cheers!!

In this night, they could hear the cheers of the Qin soldiers in the plains so wide from Suiyang City.

What the hell is going on?

In the camp of the Chu army, in the tent, Xiang Yan, who was looking at the map, learned that the snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, and for some reason, he had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"It can't be delayed any longer! If it snows, you must also capture Suiyang City as soon as possible! ”

Xiang Yan always felt that something was wrong.

"I've sent a letter to General Jing Qi! Now the new ladder and the car are ready, and all the catapults have been delivered! It is not difficult to attack the city, and in the past two days, looking at Suiyang City, the Qin army is about to be exhausted! ”

Chang Pingjun said to Xiang Yan, but thinking of the snow falling outside, Chang Pingjun couldn't help frowning, and was also worried that the falling snow would delay the plan discussed earlier.

"How many days will it take for the grain to arrive?"

Xiang Yan turned his head and looked at Xiang Liang and asked.

According to expectations, it should have arrived at the Chu army camp, why didn't the army see food and grass for a long time?

"Father, the child has ordered the scout to go back and ask!"

Xiang Liang reported.

………………………………

Chu Guo Shouchun.

In Gongziqi's mansion, not far from a huge charcoal stove, on the couch covered with cashmere satin, Gongziqi hugged the delicate beauty in his arms, enjoying the wine that the concubine gave him.

On a snowy day, how comfortable and comfortable it is to stay in the mansion!

"My lord, outside the mansion, Ying Kan asks to see you!"

A maid, with her head down, came to the room and knelt on the ground to report to Xiong Qiyu.

Feeling the graceful figure of Yan Mei, Xiong Qi heard the maid's words and looked at the maid in surprise.

"Win?"

Xiong Qi frowned, then stretched out and couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that Yingzheng really attaches importance to Bai Yan, and actually let Ying Kan envoy Chu State!"

After Xiong Qi finished speaking, he asked the maid to invite Ying Kan in.

A moment later.

Under the leadership of the maid, Ying Kan, who was dressed in the official uniform of the Chu State, came to the room, Xiong Qi saw Ying Kan, quickly took out the hand placed on Yan Meiren, got up and slowly bowed to Ying Kan.

"Win Kan, disrespectful and disrespectful!!"

Xiong Qi saluted Ying Kan with a smile on his face.

Don't look at Ying Kan as the prince of Chu, but Xiong Qi has never had the idea of being a prince of Chu since he was a child, and before King You of Chu, let alone similar to Qin, Qi, Wei and other vassal states, those sons have been growing up with resources, in terms of temperament, in a short time, it is even more difficult to keep up with Xiong Qi's status.

This is also Xiong Qi on the one hand, boasting that he will be the king of the country of Chu in the future, on the other hand, he is lustful, and he can agree to many conditions for Bai Yan, since he was a child, he has not had the resources and gifts of the prince of Chu State, and he has not seen the world much in the court of Chu State, and it is naturally difficult for his vision to keep up.

"Win Kan, meet Childe!"

Compared with Xiong Qi, as the winner of the Qin clan, he must be dignified and dignified, and he must have a bearing of grace, after making a salute with Xiong Qi, he saw Xiong Qi's gesture of inviting him to take a seat, and after saluting again, he calmly came to the guest seat on the side and knelt down.

"Right now, when Qin and Chu are at war, I don't know why Lord Win came all the way to my Chu country today?"

Xiong Qi naturally knew Ying Kan's intention, but he still had to be polite, after seeing Ying Kan kneel and sit down, Xiong Qi also turned around with a smile, returned to the couch, glanced at Yan Meiren beside him, and looked back at Ying Kan.

"This time I came to win Kan, it is to relieve the worries of the son!"

Ying Kan said with a smile.

Xiong Qi couldn't help laughing.

"Solve my son's worries, Lord Yingkan is not joking, what are my son's worries?"

Xiong Qi looked at Ying Kan with a ridiculous expression on his face, chuckling.

"Now that Qin and Chu are at war, Qin is invincible, and Changping Jun betrays Qin again, causing Qin to be defeated, but Qin has never been invincible! That is Gongzi commanding 100,000 Chu troops, defeating my Qin general Bai Yan! Dare to ask Childe, is there such a thing? ”

Ying Kan smiled and raised his hand and motioned for Xiong Qi to answer this question.

Xiong Qi's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Ying Kan very unkindly, and took a deep breath.

"Lord Yingkan is here to ridicule my son?"

Xiong Qi asked, the anger in his eyes was already a little unbearable, which also made Yan Meiren on the side look full of fear, Yan Meiren had also been disobedient to Xiong Qi before, but what happened later made Yan Meiren dare not anger Xiong Qi again.

"It's a thing that everyone knows, why do you need to win Kan to come here to ridicule the son! Now that the Qin State has been defeated, Xiang Yan has won a great victory, beheaded my Qin army of 200,000, and besieged my Qin General Bai Yan in Chudong, this matter is known to the world! ”

Ying Kan laughed indifferently and shook his head ironically.

Seeing Ying Kan's irony, Xiong Qi's face was better, but Ying Kan's words touched the thorn in Xiong Qi's heart again.

"Then Lord Yingkan, how can you solve my son's worries?"

No matter how stupid Xiong Qi is, he can also hear the meaning of winning Kan's words, now everyone in the world knows that Xiang Yan has won a big victory, and everyone in Chu understands that it is the general Xiang Yan, who defeated Li Xin in a row and besieged Bai Yan, he Xiong Qi is just a laughing stock in everyone's mouth.

Ying Kan heard Xiong Qi's inquiry, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated.

"Give credit to Childe! As long as Gongzi convinces the King of Chu and orders Xiang Yan to withdraw his troops, my king is willing to send Anling, Yangxia, and the six cities of Xiayang in Nanyang County and the seven cities in Suixian County to Chu State, and as long as General Bai Yan of Qin State leads the troops to evacuate, Qufu and Pengcheng will be returned, so can I solve Gongzi's worries? ”

Ying Kan just said softly, looked at Xiong Qi with a confident face, and asked rhetorically.

And Xiong Qi listened to Ying Kan's words, and he was already dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe the conditions offered by Yingzheng.

Even if he had been prepared, after hearing these conditions for the withdrawal of Chu State, Xiong Qi was still shocked, Xiong Qi never thought that Ying Zheng would be willing to sacrifice so much money in order to save Bai Yan.

These places are undoubtedly not important cities, and now they are all used to exchange for the retreat of the Chu State.

Xiong Qi's breathing was disordered at this time.

Thinking that if Xiang Yan besieged and killed Bai Yan in the east of Chu again, his merits were so prominent, and there was no one in Chu who could do it, and if he could make his father come down and withdraw his troops, then in exchange for so many cities, it would all be attributed to him.

Thinking of this, Xiong Qi could no longer be calm.

In fact, it is not only Xiong Qi who is not calm, how is it not the case with Ying Kan, in the Xianyang Palace of Qin State, when Ying Kan and Li Si, Wei Yi and other ministers saw this condition offered by Ying Zheng with their own eyes, they were also dumbfounded.

No one dared to believe that in order to save Bai Yan and the army of Chu under his command, Ying Zheng was willing to give so many cities to Chu State.

At that time, not to mention that Li Si, Wei Yi and others were stunned, Ying Kan and Feng Qujian couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

It was also at that time that everyone really felt how determined Yingzheng was to save Bai Yan, and it could even be said that he would do whatever it took to save Bai Yan.

"The Qin State is generous, but it is as difficult as the blue sky to get my father to withdraw his troops!"

Although Xiong Qi was moved, he also knew how difficult it was to get his father to order the withdrawal of troops.

"My father is General Xiang Yan, and General Jing Qi and others helped him to ascend the throne, and my father is convinced of General Xiang Yan and others, if my son opens his mouth to persuade the king to withdraw his troops, I am afraid that my father will ......."

Xiong Qi was a little helpless and unwilling, more of a thoughtful face, constantly thinking of a way.

If another general makes such a great achievement, Xiong Qi can still stir up trouble, but in the face of the general Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, Xiong Qi didn't dare to mess around at all, which is why he was able to promise Bai Yan before and find a way to help Bai Yan, but he didn't dare to say that Xiang Yan would withdraw his troops.

It's not that he doesn't want Xiang Yan to withdraw his troops, but Xiong Qi can't do it at all!!

Just like right now, what Xiong Qi can do is to do everything possible to drag the grain and grass that is going to be sent to the Chu army, as long as he can, as little as he can, but if he doesn't send it, Xiong Qi won't dare.

"My king also knows the difficulties of my son, so my king has also instructed that as long as my son can persuade other scholars to withdraw their troops, my king will also privately give Taoyi and Suiyang to his son!"

Ying Kan looked at Xiong Qi with a helpless look, thought about it, and said to Xiong Qi.

At this time, even Xiong Qi doubted his ears, whether he had heard it wrong, raised his head, and looked at Ying Kan, Tao Yi, and Suiyang with a shocked face!!

Ying Zheng is iron-hearted, he wants to save Bai Yan!

The other side.

Just as Gongzi Xiong Qi and Ying Kan were discussing in the mansion, in Shouchun City, the smoke suddenly lit up in the Shouchun granary, and a man with a sword came out of nowhere, with the cooperation of Nei Ying, after killing the guard, a fire, all the grain and grass reserves in the city were ignited.

Countless thick smoke floated in the sky, and all the people of Chu on the streets could see it.

After the generals of the Chu army led the city to defend and arrived, and finally killed all the thieves in the face of the thieves' desperate blockade, everyone panicked when they looked at the corpses of the men all over the ground, and then looked at the thick smoke pouring out of the houses one by one.

"Fight the fire!!

"Hurry!!"

Under the angry shouts of the generals of the Chu army, countless Chu soldiers panicked to put out the fire.

And whether it was the Chu pawn who put out the fire, or the Chu officials who had just learned the news in the palace of the king of Chu, everyone didn't know that the burning of the Shouchun granary was just the beginning.
