Qin Gong

Chapter 114 This kid is an honest man

New town.

Chai came to the mansion and saw Bai Yan.

"How are the soldiers?"

Bai Yan looked at a famous iron knight and asked.

Because it was an urgent order, the army of iron cavalry must have set out from Yangcheng before dawn like last time.

"The soldiers are used to it, it's fine."

Chai laughed.

While speaking, Old General Teng also walked out of the mansion.

Old General Teng's cronies had already been waiting outside the mansion.

Old General Teng came to the side of the horse and rode on it.

Seeing this, Bai Yan and Chai also got up to fight their horses.

Old General Teng looked at the soldiers of the iron cavalry army, after they had already taken the dry rations they had prepared yesterday.

"set off!"

With every second counting, Old General Teng didn't dare to delay, he spoke directly, and then drove his horse towards the east gate of the new city.

Bai Yan led an army of cavalry and followed Old General Teng.

Outside the new city.

Accompanied by the sound of roaring iron hooves.

Seeing that General Teng had set off, Hu Jin turned his head and ordered the five thousand Qin soldiers to set off immediately.

Beside the five thousand Qin soldiers, there are trailers full of giant logs for assembling ladders and trucks.

Boom boom~!

On the plain, the roar of the iron cavalry army came in an endless stream.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the cavalry army stopped to rest.

Accompanied by piles of bonfires burning.

Old General Teng wore armor and saber, and watched the orderly settlement of the iron cavalry army, whose discipline far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers.

Old General Teng couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart.

After starting in Nanyang, he didn't feel any difference along the way.

But after he personally led the iron cavalry army and saw this scene with his own eyes, he finally understood why the king ordered this iron cavalry to accompany the army to attack Han among all the iron cavalry armies in Qin.

And why did some people not hesitate to use dead soldiers to assassinate Bai Yu.

Looking at the cavalry in front of him, if the Han army was really on the south bank of the Weishui River, he would be more confident in defeating the Han army.

"General!"

Bai Yan came slowly from the other side at this time, handing dry food to General Teng in his hand.

Old General Teng took the rations, looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help showing a smile on his old face.

Although they don't know who assassinated Bai Yu, those people probably never imagined that there was a young man from the Bai family in the Qin army.

And after Bai Yu was poisoned, the young man had gradually taken control of the Bai clan's iron cavalry.

Just now those cavalry officers and soldiers looked at Bai Yan, as a veteran, he could see it.

"You boy."

Old General Teng smiled and said with emotion in his heart.

When Yao Jia met him earlier, he mentioned Zhang's murder.

Later in the study, Bai Yan's idea made him admire.

He once discussed with Yao Jia that when Xinzheng broke the city, he asked Bai Yan to secretly investigate the person behind Zhang's murder.

But Yao Jia shook his head slowly. The reason was that Bai Yan was too young and inexperienced. Being good at leading troops and planning did not mean he was good at handling other things.

Finding out who is behind the scenes is by no means a one-time feat. Wei Guo and Chu Guo's eyeliners should be asked to inquire carefully, and then make plans when they have some clues.

He originally wanted to give Bai Yan a chance to make contributions, but after hearing Yao Jia's words, after thinking about it, he felt that there was no rush.

That's why it was just done.

"The old man doesn't know what to say about you."

Seeing Bai Yan hearing his words and looking at himself with puzzled eyes, Old General Teng sighed.

Bai Yan told him personally that he had never read military books, and he asked twice.

He believes that Bai Yan will not deceive him, and there is no need for Bai Yan to hide whether he has read military books. After all, telling him that he has not read military books will only do harm to Bai Yan.

But a thought.

Bai Yan did not read military books, but after Bai Yu was poisoned, he was able to appease the soldiers, led the Bai family's iron cavalry to kill the Han army, and decisively went north to seize the city.

Bai Yan has never read military books, but he was able to say that idea in the study of the mansion.

This made him not know how to speak for a while.

If the Han army really built a barrier on the south bank of the Weishui River this time, Bai Yan would be the first to do it.

"If you go back to the Bai family in the future and read some military books, it will be good for you. Thinking back to when Bai Qi was good at reading military books."

Old General Teng instructed.

In the past, the Bai family, when it came to Bai Qi, no one in the six countries knew it, and no one was afraid of it.

For the generals of all countries in the world.

Don't mention that Bai Qi has no defeats in his life, and don't mention those battles where he won more with less. In the battle of Changping alone, Bai Qi was the first person to surround the Zhao army with the same number of soldiers.

"Bai Yan will definitely remember it!"

Bai Yan nodded.

Bai Yan knew that Old General Teng was doing it for his own good, so reading more military books would indeed be beneficial.

However, General Teng didn't know the truth about him.

"Since you are in the mansion and can say such things, how do you think about Zhao Guo's battle?"

After sighing, Old General Teng didn't want to dwell on the art of war, so he asked Bai Yan if he had any opinion on Zhao Guo.

"Zhao country?"

When Bai Yan heard Old General Teng's words, he seemed to think of something.

But Bai Yan still shook his head honestly.

"Bai Yan has never been to Zhao State, and Bai Yan doesn't understand the terrain and cities of Zhao State, so he dare not speak nonsense."

Bai Yan said.

Old General Teng looked at Bai Yan, and was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's answer.

For someone else, Chu Ren, Kui Wan and the others would definitely take this opportunity to express their opinions.

And if other people of Bai Yan's age can make military exploits successively like Bai Yan, they will also talk about it.

"Do you know why the old man asked you?"

Old General Teng asked softly, he didn't know that Bai Yan
"Bai Yan knows the general's good intentions."

Bai Yan looked at Old General Teng for a moment, then nodded, he understood what Old General Teng meant.

"You are honest, boy."

Old General Teng shook his head and said softly.

This boy Bai Yan knew clearly that he wanted to hear his opinion, if it was good, he would definitely say it in front of the king in the future.

After all, if Bai Yan really has ideas right now, he won't be able to meet the king.

Unexpectedly, this kid is an honest man.

Old General Teng looked at Bai Yan, thinking of Bai Yan's previous achievements.

If Bai Yan does meritorious deeds again this time, when he leads the troops back to Xianyang in the future, the king will definitely ask him about his evaluation of this young man.

by the campfire.

Bai Yan was a little taken aback when he heard Old General Teng's evaluation of him.

Because of his status, he was doomed not to understand Zhao Guo, so he didn't want to talk about it.

Under the night.

It was the first time that General Teng and Bai Yan were alone, so General Teng chatted with Bai Yan for a long time.

Bai Yan also had a good impression of Old General Teng.

Day two.

The sky was just a little bit brighter.

Old General Teng led an army of iron cavalry to continue on their way, which was different from Yao Jia's carriage.

Horses march much faster.

Soon there was an army of [-] infantry led by generals Chu Ren and Kui Wan who left Xincheng ahead of schedule.

Chu Ren and Kai Wan were also very surprised to see Old General Teng.

"General!"

"General!!"

Chu Ren and Kai Wan rode war horses and came to Old General Teng.Then he looked at Bai Yan.

Old General Teng nodded.

Then let the army continue to rush towards the Weishui River, trying to arrive tomorrow.
