Qin Gong

Chapter 332 The Killing Begins

"To go or not to go?"

"That's right, according to the news sent by Xianyang, Yingzheng will arrive in Mianchi today, and pass by Qiangcheng tomorrow. If you don't do it, you won't have a chance!"

In a deep mountain and old forest.

In the village of hundreds of households, hundreds of young and middle-aged men in common clothes gathered under the old tree at the head of the village, and the leaders among the crowd were a few old men.

Not far away, some women, children, and some young girls all watched silently.

hard to imagine.

There are so many men gathered in this village of hundreds of households, and it is obvious that they are plotting big things.

"Where is there any news in Gongcheng!"

The head of the crowd was an old man with gray hair, but his wrinkled old face did not show any kindness, instead it gave off a vicious feeling.

To stop the Qin army before, it was because of the terrain and the advantage in the dark, with the help of the news sent by the secret agent, it was possible to stop the Qin army repeatedly.

Having been to the battlefield and had several experiences of mortal fear, Gui didn't feel nervous at all when facing the scene in front of him.

However, at this time, everything has no way out.

Inside the trail.

"Bai Yan believes that the king still values ​​success in his heart!"

The old man surnamed Dou said with a smile.

They are all Korean adherents, and would rather die than be Qin people.

After the young and burly man finished speaking, he glanced at the other men around him, and then turned to Uncle Dou Tang.

Many men around nodded their heads. Pengshan's lush forests and high mountains are indeed conducive to ambushes. As long as the Qin army's numerical advantage cannot be used, there is a real chance to kill Yingzheng.

Many people couldn't help their hearts jumping, but fortunately, after a few breaths, they quickly calmed down.

Why is Li Xin still brows sad.

right.

At that time, Bai Yan thought of the fact that in the army, countless gentry children would find connections to transfer them away in every battle, so he did not hesitate to procrastinate, and if words could not procrastinate, he directly refused.

Bai Yan looked at Li Xin, and when he saw the sad thoughts in Li Xin's eyebrows, he was a little puzzled.

Even if the news spread to Yingzheng with good intentions, it was still not good for Li Xin.

And he is a general, although he is not in Xianyang, he can still guarantee a chicken and other delicious food for every meal.

After Bai Yan finished speaking, after Li Xin and the other three returned their salutes, they walked into the room first.

On the way to Handan, as long as Bai Yan gave an order, Li Xin would definitely not refuse.

"Fight them!"

"kill!"

Following the silence of the crowd, a young and burly man with two fingers cut off from his palm stood up.

Li Xin was thoughtful when he heard Bai Yan's words.

Among the soldiers who accompanied this trip, there were those who went out to carry grain and millet, and there were also those who were in charge of chickens, sheep and other livestock. These were responsible for providing delicious food for Ying Zheng to enjoy.

Compared with two years ago, Gui is no longer the boy who just left the village of ten households.

"Ok?"

They were able to defeat the Qin army before because they were ambushing in secret, and they were able to escape even if they couldn't beat them by surprise.

Bai Yan called the maid and told her to fetch three more pairs of bowls and chopsticks,
As the four sat down, Bai Yan looked at Li Xin.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, the confidant clapped his hands together to salute, then turned and left.

"Yan, Wei!"

Accompanied by the iron cavalry soldiers at the front shooting a wave of arrows, they saw that those men were about to reach the front.

Two iron cavalry soldiers with blood splattered on their bodies dragged a wounded old man to Gui's side.

"No wonder Ying Zheng sent this cavalry back to Xianyang to escort it!"

Bai Yan said to Li Xin in a very low voice.

Under Li Xin's disappointing gaze, Bai Yan reached out to pick up a chopstick, tapped on the tea cup, and then wrote on the wooden table.

"Yes, I fought with the Qin people!!"

The old man surnamed Fang looked at his old friend, who he had known for most of his life, and nodded.

And all of this is taken for granted in the eyes of everyone, including all soldiers, laborers, and prisoners.

"Brother Fang!"

With this thought, many men couldn't help but look at each other.

After the ceremony, Bai Yan knew that Li Xin must have something to talk to him about when he came over, so he invited the three of them into the room.

Although Qin State is not as good as Qi State in this respect, Ying Zheng will never treat ministers badly.

The old man surnamed Dou heard the man's words, and then shook his head: "We can think of it, even if that Qin general Bai Yan can think of it!"

The screams kept ringing out, most of them were men ambushing in the forest, and many iron cavalry soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, most of them were injured, and some were shot to death.

"promise!"

After the words fell, other people around showed surprises, even the displeased man turned his head to look at the old man surnamed Dou.

In other words, although Li Xin has the title, he has no real power in his hands, not even soldiers and horses.

Afterwards, Li Lu told Bai Yan the reason, because of Li Xin's defeat, although the king did not convict him, his cousin Li Yao directly removed all of Li Xin's military power.

"Go to Rose City!"

Even if they die at that time, there will be many other forces going to Ying Chen to rescue King Han and regain the land of Han.

but.
At that time, will the king really let himself lead the army?
Thinking of this, Li Xin was full of worries. After all, in the court of Qin State, not to mention the generals of the older generation, not to mention the generals Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and others, but even the younger generation, there are Qiang Li and Meng Tian.

Gui has already wiped out all the forces in Qiangcheng, and the rest is the forces near Jingshi Mountain.

Accompanied by arrows flying continuously in the forest, and with the sound of howling, the leaves in the forest were continuously splashed with blood, and corpses fell to the ground one after another. , and the iron cavalry officer holding the Qin sword stepped forward and pierced the commoner with a sword, and entered the chest.

After Bai Yan took the bamboo slips, he looked at the contents.

The old man surnamed Dou had not yet finished speaking.

Iron cavalry officers and soldiers raised their crossbows and shot arrows at the men.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Li Xin suddenly showed embarrassment and a little awkwardness.

The three of Li Xin also came to Bai Yan to compose the ceremony.

Even the other elders fell silent.

Outside the window is full of night, and there are guards all over the mansion at this moment, Bai Yan is not worried about the partition walls having ears.

"Uncle Dou Tang! Previously, General Yang Duanhe of the Qin Dynasty led the 2000 Qin army. Didn't it be because we held back the logistics supplies of the Qin army and killed more than [-] Qin soldiers? What are you afraid of now, as long as the ambush within a hundred miles of Pengshan , Qin soldiers can't use it no matter how many!"

Even if he dies this time, he has to do one last thing for South Korea. As long as Yingzheng dies suddenly on the way, Qin State will definitely be shaken, and Qin general Bai Yan will be punished. At that time, the court of Qin State will fall into civil strife, and there will be no time to take care of Han. land.

Seeing Li Xin's unconfident appearance, Bai Yan couldn't say much more clearly.

Human feelings are like this, just like in Pingyang back then, many gentry gave gifts to build relationships, and wanted to use Bai Zhong, Bai Bo and others to put the children of the clan into the iron cavalry, let Bai Yan take care of them, and become an iron cavalry in the future general.

Therefore, Bai Yan could clearly see that the three people were Li Xin, Li Lu, and Li Liang from the Li family who came together on this trip and lived in the same mansion.

But the old man surnamed Dou stood where he was, and when he saw this scene, he didn't open his mouth to stop him.

"Then let Ying Zheng leave?"

The old man surnamed Fang also knew in his heart that this time, it might be difficult for them to survive.

"kill!!"

Sigh.

After all, no matter which battle with the Qin people before, the man was always the one who killed the front, and he had a high prestige in the hearts of others.

Bai Yan learned about the cause and effect from Li Lu, and seeing Li Xin's embarrassing appearance, he realized that Li Xin wanted to recruit people from Bai Yan, even 200 people, so that he could be at the front when encountering danger along the way.

All the old men stood up one after another, with terrified expressions on their faces.

With a simple sentence, Gui led all the iron cavalry officers and soldiers to kill those men with a blank face.

The old man surnamed Dou thought for a while and said.

The appearance of the young man was naturally noticed by other elders, but none of the elders blamed the man.

Bai Yan continued to stand on the spot alone, thinking about the future.

"Some things, of course, some are ashamed to say."

"General, these are bowls and chopsticks!"

Seeing this, Bai Yan nodded and ordered to put it in the study.

"Go down and rest!"

A cavalry officer came to Bai Yan's side and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan.

Based on the number of Xianyang defenders and the cavalry and war horses, all the three hundred of them who did not approach Yingzheng's carriage would probably be shot to death.

Thinking about this and that will not work, do you want to watch Ying Zheng leave?

The man who came to report said.

The young man who spoke just now showed a look of resentment when he saw the words of the old men.

Li Liang looked at the words written by Bai Yan and said in his heart.

Bai Yan looked at Li Xin's appearance, thought for a while, and finally said to Li Xin with cupped hands.

"Brother Youcheng, if you believe in Bai Yan, then listen to Bai Yan's words."

Until this time, those men who were aggressive just now had clearly realized that these cavalry soldiers were far more elite than all the Qin soldiers they had encountered before.

Because if this was the case with Zhao Guo before, Bai Yan could still understand it, but now that Li Ji's arrival and Ying Zheng's joy, naturally have an impact on Li Xin's attitude.

Li Xin was also a little at a loss at the moment, and looked at Bai Yan very puzzled.

Now that the King is finally traveling, Li Xin also thought, since he is traveling with him, he would be idle if he is idle, why not do something for the King and do the work of a dog.

Obviously, in the eyes of the two of them, the words of waiting until Yan and Wei were destroyed were just excuses.

"With so many of us, we will definitely be able to get close to Ying Zheng's carriage and kill Ying Zheng!"

but!
At that time, it is estimated that no one will be able to leave alive!

"Hey~!"

The three maids came to the door, entered the room with bowls and chopsticks, and then put the bowls and chopsticks down in front of Li Xin, Li Lu, and Li Liang.

After a long time.

This is the thought in almost all men's minds.

And then.

is the root of everything.

Bai Yan asked softly.

"It's not that easy if we rely on us alone. Those who escorted Ying Zheng went out to the Xianyang garrison, and there were also iron cavalry under the command of Qin General Bai Yan."

Compared with the no less than [-] laborers and prisoners in the city and outside the city, who are poorly clothed and hungry, and the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers and cavalry soldiers who are eating ordinary vegetarian dishes, Bai Yan's daily meals are really good. Could not be better.

However, this scene is not worth mentioning to the cavalry soldiers who wandered on the battlefield all the year round.

The words of the young man.

Wipe the blood off his face.

"When they come, you will take them to the entrance of the village first. When we part, I will tell my family a few words!"

Under such circumstances, even if he attacked Wei Mieyan, would the king really lead him?
"If you succeed, trust General Li Yao!"

The iron cavalry soldiers continued to advance, and soon the battlefield spread to the big tree at the entrance of the village. More and more men were killed and fell to the ground, blood staining the trails in the village.

Bai Yan looked at Li Xin who was a little worried, and then he could feel that although Li Lu and Li Liang were talking with a smile, there was obviously a little emotion in the atmosphere.

Now there is really no return!
thought here.

"Tonight, you take someone to Qiang City, threatening"

"General, there is news from the captain!"

Now that he has regained his senses, Li Xin understands what Bai Yan meant. This is to let him wait for the opportunity to attack Yan or Wei. At that time, he will wait for the king to give an order before he can lead the army to make meritorious service.

Li Lu said.

Having said that, Bai Yan looked at Li Xin.

Li Lu, who was slightly older at the side, was more tactful because he had been an official all year round. Seeing his cousin Li Xin's appearance of not speaking for a long time, he looked at Bai Yan and thought about it.

The old man surnamed Dou with a ferocious face just now had a look of sadness in his eyes. Now he is very clear that after the Qin army returned to the Qin State, someone slacked off and accidentally leaked the news, and was investigated here by Qin State's secret agents.

Li Xin's ears turned red. After all, when he thought that he used to lead tens of thousands of troops, and now he has no military power under his command, the huge gap is really embarrassing.

Even General Wang Jian was not sure that he could beat Li Mu by half a point.

In the case of nearly twice the number of people advantage.

After all, Li Xin's opponent was Wu An Jun Li Mu.

Bai Yan stood in front of the door under the eaves, leaning on the armrests, looking at the sky above in the middle of the night.

see.

heard.

And his inquiry fell into the ears of the surrounding crowd, and everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

If it is not in Pengshan, there will be no opportunities in other places.

A moment later, when the village was about to be seen, many men with bows stood up in the lush forest not far away.

"General, this is a soup sent by the king!"

The old man surnamed Dou turned his head, looked at an old man beside him, and then showed a wry smile.

With the iron cavalry officers drawing their swords, and with the well-trained cooperation, no matter how fiercely they shouted or how strong their bodies were, they were still constantly beheaded and fell to the ground.

Inside the study.

Qin cavalry!

This time, it's more ominous than good!

At this moment, everyone realized that the news that they were here had leaked out.

"kill!"

Li Lu also looked at Bai Yan at this time.

Li Xin, his words are successful, and it can be seen from the words that General Li Yao has very high expectations for Li Xin.

At that time, the chief general who led the army was Li Xin.

Into the night
In Mianchi city.

An iron cavalry soldier used a crossbow and spear to kill the men before they got close.

Even the men lying in ambush on the tree were all shot down by the cavalry soldiers.

Driving all the way from Xianyang, nothing happened along the way, at least nothing alarmed Ying Zheng and Queen Mother Zhao who came with him.

"It's not good, iron cavalry! Qin's iron cavalry is coming here soon!"

Under the scorching sun.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

But Bai Yan knew very well in his heart that in history, after Li Xin's defeat in Zhaodi, the second stage was after Jingke failed to assassinate Qin, and Qin defeated Yan.

Now Qin's iron cavalry has come and is ready.

"I'm not afraid of jokes. Youcheng heard that there are many bandits along the way, and they want to serve the king!"

so below.

The voice fell.

Compared with the fight with Zhao Bianqi back then, these commoner men in front of them have no energy, and their coordination is chaotic, far inferior to Zhao Bianqi.

After Bai Yan waited for the three of them to approach slowly, he raised his hand in salute.

in the forest.

Outside the small village among the lush forests in the mountains, an iron cavalry soldier wearing the armor of the Qin Dynasty, holding crossbows, wooden shields, and long spears, leaned on each other, and marched slowly in groups of three or five.

However, surrounded by mountains right now, there is no way to retreat, not to mention that unlike most other people, his whole family has already moved to this village.

"Please!"

The sigh of the old man surnamed Dou made the other old men look at each other, they all frowned, and then nodded.

This is also to remind Li Xin that it is not difficult for Bai Yan to transfer the three 500 people, but Li Xin will come over tonight and lead the troops tomorrow morning.

Under the giant tree.

"Pengshan!"

thought here.

"what!!"

The appearance of Li Ji now undoubtedly proves this point. Even if Ying Zheng looks at Li Ji and Li Shi's face, he will definitely continue to value the young Li Xin.

What's more, at a young age, even in the face of Han, Zhao, Yuezhi, and Xiongnu, Bai Yan still made great military exploits and had no defeats.

"Brother Cheng, is there something wrong?"

As for the arrows shot by those men, the cavalry soldiers holding wooden shields quickly protected the position where the arrows were shot based on their experience and reflection.

Bai Yan said to Li Xin.

Bai Yan said to his cronies.

Because of Li's behavior in Xianyang before, the four of them are already very close, so they don't need to care about those polite things.

"There is nothing wrong with making meritorious deeds, but if the words tonight fall into the eyes of others, they are a little eager for success!"

And when Li Lu and Li Liang followed Bai Yan and Li Xin into the room, they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the delicious food on the wooden table, full of emotion.

Li Xin followed.

Two eunuchs and maids came over with a plate of chicken and some dishes.

"what!"

Under the giant tree, countless young men shouted one after another, and then went to the houses in the village to take out the sharp blades and bows that had been hidden all along.

"It's up to you, Toyan!"

Because of practicing martial arts and swords in the dark all year round, Bai Yan's eyes in the dark are very good, far beyond ordinary people.

Suddenly there was a restless sound from outside the crowd, and then under the watchful eyes of several old men, a man with a panicked expression ran over.

Li Lu and Li Liang in the study showed surprise looks one after another. Before they came, they thought that Bai Yan would definitely not refuse this trivial matter, but they never thought that Bai Yan seemed to have something to say right now.

Seeing this, the old man thought for a while, and glanced at everyone.

Bai Yan is growing up, and Gui is no exception.

There was nothing Bai Yan could do about it, and it was inappropriate to explain too much.

The man thought about it, and his breathing became a little difficult.

"Yan, Wei!"

Not to mention the other Qin generals accompanying him, that is, Qin general Bai Yan, who are all skilled fighters and descendants of famous families. Now they can think of ambush in Pengshan, Qin general Bai Yan, this may not be expected.

Dressed in Qin armor, when he saw this scene, he reached out and put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and drew out his waist sword and saber.

Soldiers also suffered some casualties.

There is no shame in losing to Li Mu.

"Walk!!"

Bai Yan was no stranger to these people.

Gui held the sword in one hand, stood under the giant tree, and inserted the blood-stained Qin sword into the scabbard.

Bai Yan suddenly heard footsteps, turned his head to look at the yard in the distance, and found several maids walking over with three people lighting candle lamps.

It seemed that he found that the curved bow was not as good as the well-trained and brave iron cavalry. The other men who were ambushing around, as well as the men who were ambushing at the entrance of the village, all came out one after another.

At that time, Bai Yan's actions made many elders of the gentry look bad.

Right now, Li Lu and Li Liang are a little anxious in the face of concern.

Bai Yan didn't ask them to understand him, after all, in the eyes of Li Lu and Li Liang, neither of them knew what would happen in the future.

Bai Yan will not tell what he knows, and Yan Dan will let Jing Ke come to Qin to assassinate him in the future and fail.

At that time, everything will be known!
