Qin Gong

Chapter 221 Say it out, who can sleep.

After knowing that no less than [-] Zhao troops are seven miles away from here.

There was a trace of cold sweat on the backs of Bai Yan and Wang Ben.

Almost, if you go five miles further, or arrive here later, the consequences will be disastrous.

Bai Yan looked at the sky.

At dusk, there should be no battles now, but it is not ruled out that Li Mu will send a large army to attack at night. After all, the distance of seven miles, let alone Zhao Bianqi, even soldiers attacking at night, does not need to walk for long.

"Explore again!"

Bai Yan spoke to the soldiers.

"promise!"

The soldiers handed over, and then turned and left on their horses under the gaze of everyone.

"General Wang Ben thinks it's time to attack or defend?"

Bai Yan didn't rush to order, but turned to look at Wang Ben.

Regardless of age or combat experience, Wang Ben is far superior to him.

Now they are only seven miles away from Zhao Jun. Whether to attack or defend, they need to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Attack or defend?"

Wang Ben was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's question.

Wang Ben didn't expect Bai Yan to think about attacking after knowing the number of Zhao Jun.

After pondering for a while, Wang Ben shook his head, he advocated sticking to it.

"Wang Ben thinks that we should hold on to the wall and wait for my father to lead the follow-up army to arrive here."

Wang Ben said.

Then give it to Bai Yan for analysis.

Now the Qin army has been divided into three parts, here is the first part, the second part of the army is besieging Yanyu, and the third part of the army is the army under his father's command to rush to Yanyu.

Li Mu's army must have planned to come here, or stationed closer to Yanyu, but they arrived here first.

As the first line of defense against Li Mu head-on, it is also the line with the most soldiers in the army. This is a matter of success or failure in defeating Zhao, and it must not be lost.

Secondly, although Zhao Jun lost the opportunity right now, but Zhao Bianqi was brought out by Li Mu. He has experienced fierce battles all year round, and his combat strength is by no means ordinary. If he rushed to Zhao Jun rashly, he could be caught off guard.

However, once Zhao Jun came to his senses and there was no reinforcements, the consequences would be unpredictable.

It's too important here, and he doesn't approve of taking risks.

"Okay! Then we will be stationed here."

Bai Yan listened to Wang Ben's analysis, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Wang Ben heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Bai Yan did not choose to send troops rashly.

"In order to prevent the Zhao army from attacking at night, the soldiers can dig deep trenches and divert the Zhang River water into the trenches."

Wang Ben said.

Right now, the nearby Zhangshui River can be used to help defend. Even if Zhao Bian rides over the next day, he can also block the charge.

As long as they guard here, Zhao Jun can't do anything to them.

"At night, you can ask the soldiers to burn more bonfires."

Bai Yan added.

The corner of Wang Ben's mouth rose, and he nodded with a smile.

"Then the two of us will split up and go down to make arrangements."

Bai Yan looked at Wang Ben, cupped his hands and said.

Wang Ben saluted Bai Yan, then turned around and led the horse away.

Bai Yan looked at the back of Wang Ben's leaving, looked down at his horse had already drunk the water, then led the horse and walked towards the cavalry army.

before dark.

The carriage carrying food and grass finally arrived.

All the soldiers can eat, retreat to the back, and set up tents.

Piles of bonfires were lit on the plain.

Bai Yan walked in the camp, Ye followed behind Bai Yan.

Seeing the surroundings sitting in front of the fire talking about the soldiers, Bai Yan felt a little pressure in his heart.

Thinking that the opponent was Li Mu, Bai Yan was a little worried.

Even when the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu went south, he didn't feel so much pressure. The Yuezhi and the Xiongnu went south, and he was in the dark at that time, and the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu were not of one mind.

But this time, Li Mu and Sima Shang are both famous generals of Zhao.

"General, the arrangement has been made. If Zhao Jun attacks at night, he will be able to predict it in advance."

At this time, Yan Mao came to Bai Yan and said with cupped hands.

Bai Yan nodded.

"Go down and rest first!"

Bai Yan said to Yan Mao.

After Yan Mao left, Bai Yan turned to look in the direction of the well.

Counting Li Mu's deeds in detail, Bai Yan vaguely felt that Zhao Guodai was hit by an earthquake, coupled with years of drought, once Li Mu knew that this was a suspicious strategy, he would definitely launch a charge at any cost.

After all, as long as Li Mu occupies this place, he can go to Yanyu. It is absolutely impossible for the Qin army to fight in Yanyu, and it is bound to retreat to Qicheng again.

Today, if he didn't seize the opportunity and seize the initiative, Bai Yan always had a premonition, which was fatal.

Li Mu is not Pang Juan, and these bonfires alone may not be able to deceive Li Mu.

Under the bonfire, the burning stones continued to make crackling sounds.

As Bai Yan was walking, he suddenly saw Gui and Feng Nian sitting by the campfire.

"General!"

"General!!"

The two were still arguing about something, but when they saw Bai Yan coming, they got up and smiled.

Bai Yan was already used to the two addressing her.

In the army, there are many things that Bai Yan can't do casually, but fortunately, whether it's Gui or Feng Nian, he treats him as always.

"What are you fighting for?"

Bai Yan looked at the two of them, a little curious.

When Feng Nian and Gui saw Bai Yan asking, Feng Nian spoke first.

"This kid peeked at the family letter from time to time before, and I kept wondering. I only found out later that this kid is going to be a father!"

Feng Nian looked at Bai Yan, and pointed at Gui with his thumb.

When Bai Yan heard Feng Nian's words, he looked at Gui with a surprised face. He had been to Gui's hometown back then, and met Gui's parents and the woman.

Do the math, it seems like five or six months have passed.

"Great!"

Bai Yan was a little amazed at Gui's ability.

Gui lowered his head, his old face was flushed, and he kept scratching his head, feeling uncomfortable all over.

After all, it was also the first time for Gui to be a father, and he was in a daze. He felt that he used to call his parents when he went home, but suddenly, when he went home in the future, he would also have his own children.

This feeling is hard to describe, a little panic, a little overwhelmed, but also excited and happy.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Bai Yan looked at Gui.

Listening to Feng Nian's words, counting the time, when Gui was in Gaonu, he should have received letters from his family.

"I don't want to go back at this time!"

When Gui heard Bai Yan's words, he raised his head, looking straight at Bai Yan with his red face.

Bai Yan could know the meaning of that look.

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, it's not that easy for you to go back now."

Bai Yan said.

Under the night, Bai Yan, Gui, Feng Nian and Ye, sat by the firepit together, having a rare chat.

Speaking of which, after being the chief general, Gao Nu's matter, there have been many matters in the army, and those soldiers who were killed or wounded all needed to be dealt with by Bai Yan.

It is rare for Bai Yan to sit with Feng Nian and Gui like he is now.

It was at this time that Bai Yan knew that since Feng Nian came to Gaonu with him, he had been working hard to learn Qin characters, so that he could understand when the woman he liked sent letters to others in the future.

Bai Yan admires Feng Nian's infatuation.

Looking at the sky, Bai Yan thought that Guidu was already preparing to become a father, and he didn't know if his father and mother had found a marriage for his elder brother in Qi State.

Once Tian Feiyan Tolu Qi sent him a message, telling him cryptically that she had already found a reason to give money to his family.

thought here.

Bai Yan felt that his parents should find a marriage for his elder brother.

I just don't know how the woman is, whether she is fierce or not, and whether she can get along with her elder brother.

thought here.

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of longing.

I think of my parents, my eldest brother, and the time we spent together when we were young.

"what happened?"

When Gui's voice came, Bai Yan came back to his senses and shook his head.

Chatted for a while.

Bai Yan asked Feng Nian and Gui to rest early.

Before leaving, Bai Yan did not tell Gui and Feng Nian that Zhao Jun was several miles away.

At this time, a battle with Li Mu may be unavoidable. In this case, it is better not to speak out and let the two of them sleep well.

After all, if you know that there are no less than [-] Zhao's army seven miles away, as well as Zhao's Wu'an Jun Li Mu.

Who can sleep!
