Qin Gong

Chapter 448 One after another news, Ying Zheng's order

"Hun?"

Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips, Yang Duanhe told about the crisis of Yanmen, his brows were slightly frowned, but after seeing Bai Yan had arrived at Yanmen, he felt a little more at ease.

Ying Zheng didn't expect that the Xiongnu would take this opportunity to go south!

Obviously, now that the Xiongnu dared to go south, the Yuezhi must have done something in private, and the Xiongnu had achieved some unknown things, otherwise the Xiongnu would definitely not be able to go south.

Fortunately, Bai Yan has already returned to Yanmen!

Ying Zheng recalled the time when Bai Yan left, and then looked at the contents of the letter. After thinking about it for a while, it became clear that Bai Yan might go straight to Yanmen after leaving Xianyang, and the journey would still be day and night.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt a little relieved. In the day-to-day miserable political affairs, after dealing with one annoying matter after another, seeing Bai Yan's behavior is really admirable.

However, Ying Zheng also knew that not to mention the ministers in the counties and counties of the entire Qin State, even in the court of the Qin State, there were very few people like Bai Yan.

This is not a question of ability, but of attitude and responsibility.

"Your Majesty, what happened to Yanmen?"

Princess Mi got up, came to Ying Zheng's side, looked at Ying Zheng who was frowning, and asked with concern.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng looked at the contents of the bamboo slips.

"The Xiongnu are ready to go south. Yang Duanhe said that the Xiongnu army has already attacked Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng."

Ying Zheng said.

"Ah! The Xiongnu attacked southward, and attacked Yanmen?"

When Princess Mi heard Ying Zheng's words, she was surprised and worried.

"Don't worry, Bai Yan has already arrived at Yanmen, leading the army to Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng to defend against the Xiongnu. With Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe here, the Huns want to go south to Yanmen, it's not that simple!"

After reading the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng put away the bamboo slips, looked at the worried Aifei, and said softly.

While speaking, Ying Zheng walked back to the wooden table, put down the bamboo and was ready to continue dealing with business.

Princess Mi also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, as long as Bai Yan resisted the Xiongnu, even if the Huns had a large army, other counties or General Wang Jian could send troops back to help, so there shouldn't be any serious problems.

Day two.

As the night receded and the sky was not yet much bright, Ying Zheng washed up early, and after eating something, he went to the palace hall to preside over the government affairs.

Your Majesty, most of the civil and military officials are still bringing up old things again, Yingchuan's affairs are always endless, and the rest is Zhisu Neishi, who will be the daily report of the Shaofu.

Listening to the chaos of officials arguing about some things, Yingzheng, as usual, did not rush to make a decision, but let the officials fight red-faced. In a word, only after the debate did they know that everyone is right, who is beneficial, and who is right.

"Report! Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yanmen!"

Suddenly, outside the main hall, a palace guard hurriedly walked into the main hall, then came to the center below the main hall, and reported to Ying Zheng Jili.

Hearing the news that it was Yanmen, the officials Yuan En was still arguing with red faces all quieted down and looked at each other in displeasure, all preparing to rest for a while. He just took a breath and was ready to speak.

Li Si, Wei Liao, Chang Wenjun and others were a little surprised when they heard the news that it was Yanmen, and then frowned slightly.

Now General Wang Jian and Deputy General Xin Sheng are leading the army of Qin State to attack Yan State. At this time, there is an urgent report from Yanmen, which is not a good thing.

While everyone was watching, Han Yezhe walked down the stairs to the center of the empty hall, took the bamboo slips from the palace guards, held them on top of his head with both hands, returned to the hall, and bent down to hand them to Ying Zheng.

In the quiet hall.

Ying Zheng knelt on the throne and opened the bamboo slips to read. Ying Zheng had just received the news from Yang Duanhe from Yanmen last night. He didn't expect another one to come after just one night.

"What? Guo Yi?"

After reading the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng flew into a rage. In front of all civil and military officials, he threw the slips down angrily, got up and walked in the hall.

"Peng Yi, Guo Yi!"

Ying Zheng walked back and forth, muttering these two names, angry in his heart.

The bamboo slips not only recorded the news that the Xiongnu had [-] troops coming to Yishui, but also the fact that after the Xiongnu retreated, Bai Yan withdrew his troops and returned to the south. Finally, it recorded Peng Yi's confession after Peng Yi was captured. , not to attack Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng, nor Yishui, but Yunzhong!

Peng Yi, Guo Yi!
Thinking of these two names, these two bribed people, Ying Zheng was angry, not these two, but Guo Zong.

Ying Zheng is not stupid, before Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe mentioned Guo Zong's matter, now Peng Yi and Guo Yi's actions, there is no doubt that Guo Zong is behind the scenes.

Your Highness.

Seeing Ying Zheng's furious appearance, all civil and military officials were taken aback. Ying Zheng's actions undoubtedly told all the officials that something must have happened in Yanmen, and it was definitely not a small matter, otherwise Ying Zheng would never be so angry.

Although Li Si, Wei Liao and the others were mentally prepared, they looked at Ying Zheng and realized that the seriousness of the matter might exceed their expectations.

"Let's discuss tomorrow, retreat!"

Yingzheng's voice came from the main hall, and all the officials who had lowered their heads looked up at Yingzheng, and saw that Yingzheng had left the throne, and the Hans went to pick up the bamboo slips that Yingzheng had just dropped, and walked quickly. follow and leave.

"What happened to Yanmen?"

"I don't know either! I haven't heard of it!"

"The king is so angry, I'm afraid something big must have happened!"

Seeing Ying Zheng leave, all the officials whispered.

Li Si, Wei Liao and the others looked at each other.

Among the officials, after Bai Yu and Mr. Hu met, both of them could see each other's worries.

Half an hour later, as the civil and military officials withdrew from the palace, Li Si, Wei Liao, Chang Wenjun, Kui Zhuang and others in the Xianyang palace were all stayed behind by the eunuch, and under the leadership of the eunuch, they came to the study.

In the study, everyone came to Ying Zheng and raised their hands in salute.

"Kings!"

"Kings!!"

When Li Si, Wei Liao and others were saluting, they had already noticed that the Han visitor on the side was holding a wooden tray on which were placed two scrolls of bamboo slips.

Standing in front of the huge map, Ying Zheng stared blankly at the map, where the location of Yanmen was written.

Following Ying Zheng's silence.

Han Yezhe came forward with a wooden tray, and asked Kai Zhang, Chang Wenjun, Li Si, Wang Wan and others to look at the two bamboo slips one by one, both of which were sent by Yang Duanhe of Yanmen. It was delivered last night, and the first volume was delivered just now.

After reading the bamboo slips, Li Si and the others looked at the location of the Yunzhong Mountains in the north of Yanmen on the map, and then looked at the location of Shanwu City on the map.

Knowing what had happened at this moment, Li Si and others understood why the king was so angry.

From knowing that the Xiongnu went south, to Bai Yan's arrival at Yanmen, and then the news that there was an army of Huns to the north of Yishui, before everything was over, people took a breather. The appropriate confession made people's hearts suddenly icy cold and fell to the bottom.

It turns out that from the very beginning, it was all a blindfold. Whether the Xiongnu attacked Yanmen Mountain, Pingcheng, or north of Yishui, it was a blindfold to confuse the public.

The real Xiongnu army is going south from the Yunzhong Mountains.

What's more chilling is that this time, it wasn't just the Xiongnu army, Peng Yi's confession also mentioned Yuezhi.

"This is definitely not the plot of the Huns!"

After reading the bamboo slips, Lord Chang Wen looked worried, and said in a heavy tone. He turned his head and looked at the location of Yanmen on the map. Lord Chang Wen still knew something about the capabilities of the Huns. Or force Bai Yan to lead the side cavalry to divide the troops, or the number of Huns north of Yishui, each of the plans can be seen as careful preparation.

It was definitely not the Huns who made the plan!

And
Peng Yi and Guo Yi also seem to confirm this point. There must have been someone in the Zhao land in the past, a powerful person or a noble family, who colluded with the Xiongnu behind the scenes.

"Yanmen is in danger!"

Chang Wenjun frowned and said, thinking of his eldest son, Mi Jing, who was still in Yanmen at the moment, Chang Wenjun also felt worried and uneasy.

Before the king of Chu died of illness, the eldest brother Changping Jun had already rushed to the state of Chu to express his condolences. Before his elder brother left, he was asked to return to Xianyang.

Unexpectedly, I got such news now.

"Has there been any news from Yueshi?"

Wang Wan suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Si. He remembered that he had sent envoys to the Yueshi before, why did the Yueshi suddenly put down their hatred with the Xiongnu and deal with Qin.

Li Si looked at Wang Wan, shook his head, and looked at the map.

"I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck!"

Li Si didn't say much, but behind the simple sentence, it means that the Yue clan may have already torn up the covenant and secretly colluded with the Xiongnu. can't come back.

"Wei Liao! Can Shangjun dispatch troops to help Yanmen?"

Amidst the conversation, Ying Zheng, who had been silently looking at the map, turned his head, looked straight at Wei Liao, and asked softly.

At this time, Ying Zheng's face was neither sad nor happy, and he couldn't see the appearance of being furious just now.

Perhaps this is why even Li Si, Kui Zhuang and others, and even Wang Jian have said in private that Ying Zheng was born to be the king of Qin. the throne.

"There are still [-] people in Shangjun's camp! However, more than half of them are Xinwu, and less than half of them can really be transferred to Yanmen. The minister is worried that once Shangjun dispatches troops to reinforce Yanmen, Yuezhi will return to Shangjun in an instant. From the north, go south from Gaonu again!"

When Wei Liao heard what Ying Zheng said, he cupped his hands and said to Ying Zheng.

Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Qianzhong, Bashu, the army stationed in these places must not be mobilized right now. The first three counties are closely related to the safety of the north, and the central Guizhou is close to Chu, and Bashu cannot withdraw troops. Withdrawal will lead to rebellion at any time.

"If your majesty wants to increase troops to rescue Yanmen, he can only recruit from the counties of Hedong, Hexi, and Yingchuan!"

Wei Liao said to Ying Zheng.

As one of Yingzheng's most important ministers, in order to keep Wei Liao, Yingzheng not only ate everything with Wei Liao, but even lived together. It can be said that in order to keep Wei Liao, Yingzheng even put down his majesty as a king.

"but"

After Wei Liao mentioned the counties, he looked at Ying Zheng, hesitated for a while, and then reminded him.

"My minister is worried, once the king dispatches troops to Yanmen, there may be a bigger rebellion in Yingchuan!"

Wei Liao said to Ying Zheng.

The army led by Wang Jian was mostly composed of troops from Hedong, Hexi, and Taiyuan. Originally, the army staying in Hedong and Hexi was not as good as it was in its heyday. In addition, after the fall of South Korea, Yingchuan County was established, and many troops had to be transferred. Yingchuan is stationed, facing the current situation in Yanmen, once the last troops are transferred to Yanmen, then in Yingchuan, which is always in turmoil, in an instant, those restless local gentry will definitely take the opportunity to rebel.

Faced with Wei Liao's reminder, what everyone didn't expect was that Ying Zheng's complexion kept changing, he was full of hesitation, and finally made a decision that caught everyone off guard.

"The widow's order is to dispatch troops from Hedong, Hexi, and Shangjun to help Yanmen!!"

Ying Zheng looked at the map and ordered.

In a word, Kai Zhang, Wei Liao, Wang Wan, and even Chang Wenjun all looked at Ying Zheng in shock after hearing Ying Zheng's words, even Li Si was no exception, Li Si's eyes flashed with doubt at this moment.

two years!Wang Shang planned for two full years. If Yingchuan is in chaos ahead of time, the opportunity of waiting for two years will be lost in vain.

Could it be that the king didn't expect this consequence? No, it is absolutely impossible for the king not to think about it. Why is that?

While Li Si was thinking, he suddenly looked at Chang Wenjun who was beside him.

Is it Chang Wenjun's eldest son, Mi Jing?
No, it's not Mi Jing, Mi Jing is not worthy of the king, even if you add Chang Wenjun.

It's Bai Yan! ! !
After Li Si suddenly thought of this, he turned his head. He was half a hundred years old, and he was looking at Ying Zheng at this moment. For some reason, he felt a deep sense of crisis in his heart for the first time.

Once upon a time, the king attached so much importance to him that he even asked Li Si's daughter to either marry the Ying family's clan or be betrothed to the prince of Qin, and his son was no exception.

Therefore, even though Yingzheng ate and lived with Wei Liao at the beginning, Li Si saw that he didn't feel the crisis, and never worried that he would lose Yingzheng's respect and favor.

But at the moment.

A sense of crisis suddenly emerged in Li Si's heart!

"Your Majesty! Please think again, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, it must not be like this!"

Kai Zhuang, Wei Liao, and Wang Wan all raised their hands and said, admonishing Ying Zheng to take back the king's order. Wei Liao did not hesitate to use King Wei as an example. If not for the various actions of King Wei, the state of Wei would not have changed from prosperity to decline.

Chang Wenjun also looked at Ying Zheng in surprise. At this moment, Chang Wenjun stood silently, not knowing how to speak.

Yu Li, Lord Changwen knew what Wei Liao and the others said were right. It was definitely not a wise move to send troops to aid Yanmen at this time. In the past, when other vassal states faced such a situation where they could not deploy their troops, they could only rely on them and defend them. Will be able to stick to it, and will not easily transfer troops.

But Yuqing, the eldest son, Mi Jing, is still in the territory of Yanmen.

Inside the study.

As the words of persuasion from Kai Zhuang, Wang Wan and others continued to ring out, no matter what everyone said, Ying Zheng shook his head.

"I have made up my mind. The Yanmen matter is related to the success or failure of destroying Yan. If someone dares to rebel in Yingchuan County this time, I can destroy Han once, and I can destroy Han again!"

Ying Zheng said softly, then looked at the map.

"As for Shangjun, the danger of bringing Yanmen is lifted, and I will return to the army to rescue Shangjun, destroy Yan first, and then quell the chaos!",

While speaking, Ying Zheng was telling Wei Liao, Kui Zhuang and others that the dispatch of troops this time was not just for Yanmen, but more for destroying Yan. Wang Jian and Xin Sheng are still leading the army of Qin State to attack Yanmen. country.

But this high-sounding reason fell into the ears of Li Si, Wei Liao and others in the study. Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Obviously, no one believed Ying Zheng's words.

The outside must be settled inside first!
Li Si and the others understood this truth, how could Ying Zheng not understand, once something happened in the three counties, even if the country of Yan was conquered, they might not have time to take care of it.

"Mr. Changwen!"

Ying Zheng said.

"Wei Chen is here!"

Seeing this, Chang Wenjun stood beside the map, bowed and saluted Ying Zheng.

"This time, the task of leading the troops to reinforce Yanmen is entrusted to you by the widow, and you will dispatch the soldiers and horses of the three counties to rush to the rescue of Yanmen!"

Ying Zheng ordered.

Hearing Yingzheng's order, Li Si, Wei Liao and the others were not surprised. Yingzheng had already decided to mobilize troops from three counties to aid Yanmen County, which is enough to see how much he attached importance to it. The most assured general to lead the army is none other than Chang Wenjun.

After all, Mi Jing is the eldest son of Lord Chang Wen, and now Mi Jing, like Bai Yan, is still in Yanmen, serving as the supervisor and censor.

If you want to lead troops to reinforce Yanmen, then it is the best choice for Chang Wenjun to lead the army to reinforce Yanmen, and it will also be the most reassuring!

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Chang Wenjun heard Ying Zheng's order, cupped his hands and said.

After saying this, Chang Wenjun didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief.

After half an hour.

With Ying Zheng's decision, the mobilization of the army, as well as possible future situations, must be discussed in advance to prepare for it.

After the discussion, Li Si, Wei Liao and others left the palace study one after another.

Walking under the tall eaves outside the main hall of the palace, passing by huge pillars, Wei Liao and the others shook their heads while chatting.

"The king's order this time may not be a wise move!"

Wei Liao said, looking vaguely worried, Yingchuan has been in turmoil for a long time, and some local gentry secretly caused troubles, which caused resentment among the people, and the people became hostile to Qin.

Before that, there were two large camps stationed in Hexi and Hedong, so there was no need to worry about a large-scale rebellion.

"Indeed, Si thought so too!"

While walking, Li Si listened to Wei Liao's emotion.

After glancing at Wei Liao, Li Si also shook his head and sighed.

"Si previously heard that Bai Yan was transferred back to Yanmen, and thought that the king was worried and waited and waited with doubts. He never thought about it."

When Li Si said this, he stopped and looked at Wei Liao.

"If this is what Si thinks in his heart, there is no doubt that Bai Yan will be the permanent attendant in the future, and there will be no other two!"

When he said that there are no two people anymore, Li Si seemed to recall in Li Si's mind that at that time, he was also highly valued by Yingzheng. Besides him, Yingzheng never thought of handing over such an important position as Tingwei to anyone else.

"I never thought that the king would value Bai Yan so much!"

Wei Liao looked at Li Si, sighed and nodded.

Why didn't he feel that in Ying Zheng's heart, how much he valued Bai Shi Baiyan.

"It seems that the king didn't mind the fact that Mrs. Bai got up in vain back then!"

Wei Liao inadvertently sighed.

Wei Liao, who stopped in his tracks, didn't notice that Li Si's face suddenly relaxed following his words, as if he was no longer as preoccupied as before.

Wei Liao turned his head, looked at Chang Wenjun who was walking beside him, and raised his hands.

"Mr. Changwen, Wei Liao is presumptuous. Although Mi Jing is in a dangerous situation in Yanmen, the soldiers of the three counties are not a matter of one person and one city. I also hope that Lord Chang Wen, considering the safety of the three counties, can ask Concubine Mi to speak to the king in private, so that the king can take back the king's order!"

Wei Liao cupped his hands at Chang Wenjun and said.

Although he knew that the situation of Mi Jing, the eldest son of Chang Wenjun, in Yanmen was not optimistic. If there were no reinforcements, it would be a disaster, but Wei Liao, standing on the standpoint of the Qin State, couldn't help but begged Chang Wenjun to let Princess Mi Blow the wind in your ears so that Ying Zheng can take back his mind.

If it were someone else, Wei Liao would not ask, but the person in front of him is Chang Wenjun.

In an instant.

Li Si, Kui Zhuang, Wang Wan and others all stopped, looked at each other, and then looked at Chang Wenjun, wondering if Chang Wenjun would agree.

Speaking of which, even if Lord Changwen refuses to agree, they can all understand that people are not sages, and now he is the eldest son of Lord Changwen who is the censor in Yanmen. The eldest son, heir, was trapped in Yanmen alive, and was besieged by the Huns without moving.

"it is good!"

In the end, Chang Wenjun raised his hand and said a word. After finishing speaking, he put down his hand and left slowly.

This scene moved Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Wan and others. Even Wei Liao looked ashamed when he watched Chang Wenjun leave, and he sighed after a long time.

Wei Liao knew that in the court of Qin State, although the Chu family was feared by others, there were also good ministers and great talents, such as the current Lord Chang Wen, who was admired sincerely. The country is strong, and it will no longer be the disaster of the past countries.

Under the night.

In Wang Wan's mansion, when Bai Yu and Mr. Hu learned about what happened in Yanmen from Wang Wan, they were all shocked.

"what?"

Bai Yu shook his head, at this moment he finally understood why the king was so angry.

"Mr. Hu, in three days, Bai Yu wants to go out with the army!"

Bai Yu turned his head to look at Mr. Hu, and said with a worried expression.

As the leader of the army, Bai Yu knew better than Mr. Hu and Wang Wan how dangerous Yanmen was and how serious the situation was.

"Your body?"

Old Hu frowned and looked at Bai Yu.

"No problem!"

Bai Yu didn't care so much. Although he was a general with a general in the court of the Qin Dynasty, Bai Yu knew better than anyone else that for him now, let alone wanting to be promoted to another rank is as difficult as reaching the sky. This life, he doesn't know when it will be gone. He has always known that he is a general who cannot go to the battlefield. Although others dare to say it, it is the truth. If it weren't for the kindness of the king, he, Bai Yu, would have died a long time ago. Back to Bai's.

Therefore, Bai Yu understands better than anyone else that on the surface, he and Bai Yan have always been the pillars of the Bai family, but in fact, the real pillar is only Bai Yan who is leading the army outside.

Whether it is Liyang, where the Ying clan lives, or Yongcheng, the ancestral temple, those Ying clan members, and even other gentry, famous families, and even the Feng and Yang clans respect the Bai clan so much, and are willing to make friends and even make friends with the Bai clan. The reason for the marriage is because of Bai Yan who still has a chance to rise.

So at the moment, he is really worried about letting Mr. Changping go to reinforce Yanmen alone.

Although his health is not good, even though he wants to go with his enemy Chang Wenjun, as long as this trip can save Bai Yan, even if Chang Wenjun seizes the opportunity to kill him, he will not regret it.

"I'm afraid that the king will definitely not agree to General Bai to go!"

At this time, Wang Wan suddenly spoke and looked at Bai Yu.

Three days later.

Following Concubine Mi's repeated exhortations to no avail, in the court hall, Ying Zheng announced the appointment of Chang Wenjun in front of all civil and military officials.

Chang Wenjun had no choice but to leave Xianyang.

As for Bai Yu's request to go with the army, it was eventually rejected by Ying Zheng. Even with the help of Mr. Hu, Ying Zheng still refused.

Looking at the devastated Bai Yu, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, sighed, and asked the officials to continue discussing political affairs.

Mr. Hu can only give up.

Indeed, as Wang Wan said, Bai Yan is now besieged in Yanmen, how could the king agree to let Bai Yu go? Everyone in the world said that Ying Zheng is a tyrant, but only the courtiers of Qin knew that Ying Zheng was a nostalgic Bai Yu is one of the only two people in the Bai family, and Ying Zheng will not allow Bai Yu and Bai Yan to appear on the battlefield together.

in the hall.

Watching Chang Wenjun's departure, the civil and military officials learned that a few days ago, the reason for Yingzheng's fury was because the Xiongnu went south. Everyone couldn't help but secretly startled. Among them, there are ministers who are sorry, and there are ministers who gloat, and there are many people who watch the excitement.

After coming down to court, almost all the officials, regardless of civil servants or military generals, asked each other about the specific situation of Yanmen. Bing, these are enough to show that I am afraid that there will be more bad luck in Yanmen this time.

In Xianyang City.

The appointment of Yingzheng and the spread of the news from the officials also led to the fact that the Xiongnu went south in just one day, as the spread spread, it soon spread throughout Xianyang City.

All the dignitaries in teahouses and restaurants, merchants, and scholars from Chu, Qi, and Wei all talked about it one after another. In their words, they wished to hear the news of Bai Yan's death.

And as the news passed from person to person, it gradually became outrageous, and evolved into the later stage. From someone speculating that Bai Yan might be in danger this time, it directly turned out that Bai Yan had already died in Yanmen.

In the next two days, amidst countless discussions, in Xianyang City, a Qin official riding a horse, holding a bamboo slip, hurriedly drove on the street, and rushed towards the palace while the people on the street gave way.
