Qin Gong

Chapter 214 News from Handan, the appearance of a divorce plan, surprised everyone!

Time flies, mid-April.

Gao Nu's everything was the same as before, but just as Bai Yan was waiting for the third batch of stirrups in the city guard's mansion, several news came one after another that caught Bai Yan off guard.

The first one is the news from Yunshan pass that the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu seem to have started fighting.

The second is the news from the Qin army from the border of Qin State and Yuezhi that the iron cavalry from Longxi had arrived at the border.

The third is the news from Yuzhong. In the news from Yuzhong, there are two things in total.

First, a disaster occurred in Dai County of Zhao State, which affected half of Dai County. The distance of the ground moving from east to west reached [-] steps. Now most of the houses in Dai County have been destroyed, so that the houses collapsed and killed countless people. Most of the survivors were also wounded and homeless.

Second, the garrison of Shangdi has already gone to the border of Zhao State.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan looked at the scrolls of bamboo slips, and after reading the last scroll, his face showed deep thought.

When they were in Xianyang, everyone knew that there would be a battle between the Yue clan and the Xiongnu, and the battlefield of this battle must be the border.

The border between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu has been going south, and it is Gaonu.

Therefore, the original plan was for him to lead the iron cavalry to wait and see in Gaonu. Once the Yuezhi was defeated and showed a disadvantage, he would lead the iron cavalry to go north to help the Yuezhi and get rid of the Xiongnu.

However, the news of the disaster in Zhao State disrupted all previous plans.

Bai Yan knew that for the Qin State, although the survival of the Yueshi and the Xiongnu was very important, it was far from being as important as the destruction of the Zhao State.

It was the decision made by Xianyang that the Longxi iron cavalry went north.

Its purpose is that when the Yue clan is at a disadvantage, the Gaonu iron cavalry does not need to go north, but can get away and go to the Zhao country at any time.

"Heaven is going to kill Zhao!"

A vicissitudes of life whispered in the study.

It wasn't Bai Yan who spoke, but the old man, and only the old man would sigh like this when he saw the natural disaster in Daidi.

The old man closed his eyes, thinking that Dai County, which Li Mu had run for many years, suddenly became a hell on earth.

Even the old man couldn't help feeling the injustice of God.

Why did God treat Li Mu like this.

Zhao Guo had been suffering from drought before. He had been to Dai County and saw with his own eyes that the land in Dai County was yellow and cracked. Under the scorching sun, except for the desolate withered grass, the red land was thousands of miles away, the red sun was like fire, and the wild vegetables and seedlings were all scorched.

Drought has already turned Dai County into a barren land. Countless people and animals died, and the people were devastated.

Now there is another natural disaster!
"Boy, do you really want to lead the army to destroy Zhao?"

The old man turned his head and was imprisoned for nearly two months. He argued with Bai Yan countless times, but it was the first time he looked at Bai Yan so sadly.

Bai Yan beside the wooden table did not speak quietly, until a moment later, he opened his mouth softly.

"The old man should know that even if Bai Yan doesn't go, the capital of Qin will definitely send troops to destroy Zhao! All the cavalry soldiers under Bai Yan's command are from Qin, and Bai Yan is only a general."

Bai Yan told the old man that in fact, whether he goes or not, the whole situation cannot be changed now.

Gao Nu's iron cavalry officers and soldiers are all Qin people, all eager to change their fate with military exploits, and they all have wives and children living in the cities and villages of the Qin State.

If Bai Yan disobeys orders, other generals will replace him.

"Forget it, hey, it's all God's will!"

When the old man heard Bai Yan's words, he was not as stubborn as before.

When he learned of the natural disaster in Dai County, even the old man felt that God wanted Zhao to die.

The same was true on the eve of the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

"General! News from Handan, Zhao State!"

Outside the study, Ye hurried in with a roll of bamboo slips, and then handed the bamboo slips to Bai Yan.

Handan?

Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly. He had always known before that that Bai Yan sent a special agent to Handan, but he never knew what Bai Yan was planning.

"Young Master Jia?"

Bai Yan opened the bamboo slips and looked at the contents inside.

Although the account in the bamboo slips is also a natural disaster in the county, but because his meticulous work is not as good as the one sent by Xianyang, it was already late at night when he heard the news.

Now there is one more thing in this bamboo slip.

Prince Jia asked Zhao Wangqian to send rescue supplies to Daijun, but Zhao Wangqian rejected it because the treasury was empty and he was afraid that Qin would attack Zhao.

A simple sentence made Bai Yan keenly notice Young Master Jia, and this Young Master Jia seemed to have a heart for Dai Jun.

Dai County!

"So that's it! If this happens, Li Mu will die!"

Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips, shook his head and said.

Bai Yan's words stunned the old man beside him, and even Ye looked at Bai Yan with a puzzled expression.

What exactly did this bamboo slip say that made Bai Yan so sure that Li Mu would die!
Inside the study.

Seeing the old man reaching out to look at the bamboo slips, Bai Yan did not refuse, handed the bamboo slips to the old man, then got up and went to the wooden desk where he worked, took out a roll of brand new bamboo slips, and then took the pen and ink that was still wet, and began to write on the bamboo slips.

This scroll of bamboo slips, Bai Yan ordered people to hurry up and send them to Xianyang.

Back then in the study room of the Xianyang Palace, Bai Yan looked at Wang Jian, Li Si, Wei Liao, Kui Zhuang and other important officials of the Qin State, but none of them thought of alienating, or had no chance to alienate.

At that time, Bai Yan still thought it was strange, vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he didn't mention bribing Guo Kai.

Now that there is a natural disaster in Daidai County, by chance, his secret agent got the news later, and just inadvertently told him about the court son Jia.

The same is true.

Bai Yan was just glad that he didn't tell Ying Zheng and other important officials of Qin to bribe Guo Kai.

Li Mu's death may have been planned by Guo Kai, but the cause of Li Mu's death was not Guo Kai, but this Young Master Jia.

Young master Jia, Ying surname, Zhao family, name Jia, is Zhao Jia.

The eldest son of King Zhao Mourning, and the brother of King Youmiao Zhao Qian.

Speaking of which, Zhao Jia, who was the eldest son at the beginning, was originally going to inherit the throne. Later, because Zhao Mourning Wang Qian loved Zhao Qian's mother, he changed Zhao Qian to succeed him.

"Young Master Jia!"

The old man looked at the bamboo slips, and quickly noticed a sentence unintentionally mentioned above.

Then the old man looked at Bai Yan, who was writing bamboo slips with his head bowed at the wooden table in the distance, and a thought came to his mind.

This kid must be playing with Young Master Jia's idea!

But what can Young Master Jia do?
With this thought in mind, the old man looked at the words in the bamboo slips, and then kept thinking about his understanding of Zhao Guochaotang in his mind, as well as what happened in Zhao Guo now.

Soon, the old man's eyes widened and his breathing became short of breath.

Divorce!

That kid wants to use Young Master Jia to drive a wedge between Zhao Guochaotang.

The old man has been traveling around the country before, and even had a former residence in Zhao State, so the old man knows Zhao State better.

Now seeing the natural disaster in Daijun, and seeing Young Master Jia, the old man knows that this matter is really possible, after all, Daijun is too sensitive.

"Ye, order someone to send it to Xianyang immediately! Don't delay."

When the old man came back to his senses, he saw that Bai Yan had roughly written the bamboo slips, dried them slightly, carefully rolled them up, and handed them to Ye.

"promise!"

Ye nodded quickly, turned around and walked outside.

The old man watched Ye leave, and there were only him and Bai Yan in the study.

The old man put down the bamboo slips and put them on the wooden table, then turned his gaze to Bai Yan.

"Boy, who is your mentor?"

The old man didn't believe that Bai Yan didn't have a mentor behind him.

With only one sentence, one can keenly grasp the opportunity and see the most obscure and deadly part of Zhao Guo at a glance. This is not just as simple as talent.

Behind Bai Yan, there must be someone who knows Zhao Guo very well, and that person's status must not be low.

Otherwise, there are some things that even the common people of Zhao don't know, and they don't have the opportunity to know about those things.

Who is that person?

"Huh? Teacher?"

In front of the wooden table, Bai Yan just got up, and was a little surprised when he heard the old man's words.

But after thinking about it, he didn't hide it from the old man.

"The boy once studied with Tian Jin, Duke Jin!"

Bai Yan said that at the beginning, Duke Jin taught him too much, even though Duke Jin was killed and no one in his family survived, Duke Jin also told him that his name should not be mentioned in Qi State.

But right now in Qin State, but facing this stubborn old man, naturally there is no need to have so many worries.

"What? Tian Jin? Absolutely impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

When the old man heard Bai Yan's words, his eyes widened in astonishment. He was even more surprised than when he just learned that Bai Yan used alienation. He shook his head and waved his hands.

In the eyes of the old man, how could Bai Yan be Tian Jin's apprentice.

Who is Tian Jin, a famous doctor in Qi State.

His character is even more famous in the court, among the people, and even among the schools of thought.

How could Tian Jin be Bai Yan's mentor!
It's impossible!

You must know that Tian Jin has been for Qi all his life, and even when he dies, his heart is toward Qi.

Not to mention that he was acquainted with Tian Jin, he had never heard that Tian Jin had taken in an apprentice before his death.

"You kid can't talk nonsense. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to use Tian Jin's name to fool the old man. The old man has known Tian Jin for many years? Humph! Fool the old man!"

The old man looked at Bai Yan, thinking that Bai Yan was sincere and didn't want to say it, maybe he had heard of Tian Jin's name before, so he used Tian Jin's name to fool him.

Perhaps because he remembered the tragic death of his old friend in the past, the old man was a little angry that this kid Bai Yan was trying to fool him with this.

Don't look at him being trapped by Bai Yan at Gao Nu's place, but the reason why he doesn't make trouble, and is not in a hurry to leave all the time, is also because he is looking at this kid.

Never thought.

What happened right now really disappointed him a little, and that kind of disappointment was even worse than when he was playing for Qin when he was young.

Maybe when this kid leaves with his troops, he will also find a way to leave here.

"Old sir, the boy is not talking nonsense."

Bai Yan was shocked when he saw the old man's reaction, but he could understand the old man after thinking about it.

After all, how could a well-known official who was dedicated to serving the state of Qi teach the apprentice, the only one, who would travel thousands of miles to serve in the state of Qin.

In other eyes, this is simply impossible.

However, Bai Yan knew that there were always exceptions. For example, if this famous official saw his whole family being killed after his death, how would he feel, and what would happen if he saw a king who had served loyally in the past and ordered his whole family to be killed.

Even if he knows that the king is being deceived, those who have never experienced the disappointment have any qualifications to say that they cannot have it.

"The old man is an old friend of Mr. Jin? Do you dare to say a surname and family name, Mr. Jin? Let's see if Mr. Jin has spoken to Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan walked to the window, knelt down and looked at the old man with great interest.

Jin Gong's old friend?

Duke Jin taught him every night for three years. During these three years, Duke Jin did not hide anything, from ancient books to all countries in the world. If this old man is really an old friend of Duke Jin, Duke Jin will definitely tell him.

"You kid wants to lie to me about my name, huh, whatever! I don't believe it, you kid only spells a surname, what can you know!"

The old man snorted angrily, he didn't believe that the kid in front of him was really Duke Jin's apprentice.

Under Bai Yan's gaze, the old man said, "Wei!"

Done.

The old man tilted his head and looked at Bai Yan from the corner of his eye, as if he was joking.

The old man didn't believe it, what could the kid in front of him say.

Dress up!

Yoyo, pretending to be contemplative, I really think so.
"Wei Zhe, the old man is Wei Zhe?"

Bai Yan suddenly looked at the old man, and said with a surprised face.

After knowing that this old man is the 'Huang Shi Gong' and 'Old Man of Di Shang' who will teach Zhang Liang's art of war in the future, Bai Yan has already determined that this old man must be a powerful person, and now the old man also uses the surname Wei.

Then Bai Yan quickly thought of the hermit master that Duke Jin had mentioned countless times: Wei Zhe!
According to Duke Jin, Wei Zhe is a great talent who was once invited by the former king of Qin to be an official in Qin, and once he arrived in Qin, he became an official in Shangqing!
Is this old man the Wei Zhe that Duke Jin is talking about?
Bai Yan was really confused and surprised.

Like Bai Yan, there is old man Wei. At this moment, old man Wei is not much better than Bai Yan. When he heard Bai Yan really called his name, old man Wei was in a mess and looked at Bai Yan in a daze.

　Old man Wei's transformation is almost written, the strongest assistant.

　　Don't scold me for bringing knife water, I have already omitted a lot, why did my uncle dare not write about Li Qin, I will find an opportunity to explain it later.
