Under the dim moonlight, the sound of neat horse hooves sounded outside the Qin army camp on the west bank of Danshui.
A group of cavalry shrouded in cloaks were rushing towards the Qin army camp. Under the dim moonlight, the wide cloaks almost contained all the people, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes.
They were a pair of calm and deep eyes, like thousands of years of ice, and it seemed that anything could arouse their interest. There was a trace of ruthlessness and determination in the calm eyes. It was obvious that these were eyes that had truly seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, eyes that looked upon the people like nothing.
"Stop the visitor!" A sentry shouted at the visitor, holding a long sword in his hand. Looking at it like that, if the person on the opposite side does anything wrong at all, the spear in his hand will dance accordingly and kill him mercilessly. Although under the moonlight, the sentry could clearly see the person on the opposite side, and behind him was the flag of the Qin army.
The strictness of Qin's laws and the austerity of Qin's army can be seen from this.
The visitor didn't want to forcefully break in. He slowly slowed down his horse. With one of them giving the order "Dismount", dozens of people collectively dismounted from their horses with two clicks as if they were one person.
Seeing this situation, the sentinels of the Qin army also felt certain in their hearts. They had probably determined that the person coming was a friend, not an enemy. The chief in charge immediately raised the Chang Ge that was slightly horizontal in his hand, but of course, just in case, the sword was not sheathed.
One of the cavalrymen stepped forward, took out something from his arms, and raised it in front of Shi Chang with one hand.
With the flickering light from the two torches at the entrance of the village, Shi Chang finally saw clearly what was in front of him: the dark strip-shaped object, which seemed to look like a tiger descending from the mountain - the Tiger Talisman!
The commander was startled, and unconsciously glanced at the people behind the cavalry. He saw among the people gathered around him, and under the hood of the cloak, there was a vaguely familiar and unfamiliar face - a slightly old one. There was a bit of fatigue from the long journey on his face, his gray hair and beard glowed silver in the firelight, and his eyes looked like they had stepped out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Isn't it the pride of Great Qin, the eternal military god - Lord Wu An, Bai Qi.
Unconsciously, the chief was about to salute the person in front of him, but the cavalry with quick eyes and hands grabbed the arm that was about to sink, and pulled the chief up who was about to prostrate himself.
"Don't spread the word." A stern voice immediately reached Shi Chang's ears.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Shi Chang obviously thought of something and immediately stood up, clasping his fists and agreeing.
Then he gestured to his men, and the sword was instantly sheathed.
"General, please!" The commander stopped talking nonsense and immediately opened the gate of the village and personally introduced the people into the Chinese military tent.
With Shi Chang and the token opening the way, people dressed in black quickly arrived outside the Chinese army's tent. General Wang Lu, who had learned the news, happened to be dressed neatly and was coming out of the tent to greet them.
Inside the tent, a bonfire had been lit. The old man wearing a large cloak was slowly taking off his black robe, and a weather-beaten face appeared in front of Wang Lu.
"I've met Mr. Wu An." Wang Hao clasped his hands in his fists, lowered his body slightly, and greeted the visitor.
"No need to be polite." Bai Qi casually threw the black robe in his hand, and the bodyguard just caught it.
Immediately, Bai Qi nodded slightly to another guard, and the guard presented the tiger talisman to General Wang Lu with both hands for verification.
Wang Lu was not hesitant, and immediately took out half of his tiger talisman from his arms, and put the two pieces together, making a perfect fit.
"The tiger talisman has been inspected and found to be correct. The last general, Wang Hao, led the party's 400,000 troops, and we are here to listen to Lord Wu An's orders!" Wang Hao handed over the tiger talisman with both hands and bowed in reply.
In fact, with Wu Anjun's prestige, there was no need to test the talisman at all. He himself was much more effective than the tiger talisman, but Bai Qi still followed the formal process and did it meticulously.
There is no other reason, but Bai Qi knows very well that the place above the court is far more dangerous than the battlefield. The so-called caution is not only on the battlefield, but also in daily life.
It's a pity that even though Bai Qi always pays attention and follows the rules at all times, he forgets that being superior to one's master is the unforgivable original sin, no matter how loyal you are, no matter how humble you are.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Stretching and shaking his somewhat stiff arms, Bai Qi immediately gave the order: "From now on, according to the king's order, I will take over all military affairs in the Shangdang area, and the entire army will obey orders as one!"
"Yes!" Everyone present agreed in unison.
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then issued his first military order after entering the Changping battlefield: "Send the order: Anyone who dares to betray me and will be in the army will be punished by the clan."
Wang Hao was obviously a little confused after hearing this. Why did he ignore the war and get information first?
However, Wang Lu, a well-trained Qin general, although he may have doubts in his heart, he did not hesitate at all and immediately responded: "Yes! Anyone who dares to betray Lord Wu An will be punished by the clan."
"Well, let's send an order to the generals above and above to discuss the affairs of the army." Bai Qi then walked up to the main seat and sat down, and continued to order.
"Yes!" Wang Hao obviously knew the style of his old boss and did not dare to delay at all, so he agreed immediately.
Just two sentences of dialogue have revealed too much information.
Wei Ye came to the camp and summoned all the senior generals. Apparently, he was going to launch a decisive battle with the Zhao army on the other side.
And by keeping his whereabouts secret as soon as he arrived, he obviously wanted to make the Zhao army on the opposite side think that the leader of the Qin army was still Wang Lu, so that he could deceive the opponent. But if Zhao Jun can't hold on, even Bai Qi obviously won't have many options. The only way to trick the opponent is if Zhao Jun changes generals and switches from defense to offense!
Once Zhao Jun gets out of that damn barrier, he won't be able to make anything round or square...
Once the barrier is broken and the Zhao army is defeated, our army will take advantage of the victory to cover up the attack. Changping Pass and Gu Pass will inevitably be broken down one after another, and then Shangdang will be in my hands;
Once Shangdang changes hands, there will be a vast plain outside Handan City, allowing our Qin army to gallop!
Just thinking about it is exciting!
Wang Hao couldn't help but move a little faster when delivering the order.
Soon, all the generals of the Qin army who had received the order were neatly dressed and gathered in the central military tent. Although the order was given at midnight, the generals were not dissatisfied at all.
After a while, the Qin army generals in twos and threes had arrived among the central army.
Looking from a distance, one can already see the difference in the Chinese military tent today. The familiar guards were replaced by a group of taller and colder guards. If not for seeing General Wang Lu standing solemnly outside the tent, there was no intention of being held hostage. , the generals almost thought that the Chinese army's tent had been broken into by thieves.
wait wait wait……
General Wang Lu, the leader of the army, greets us outside the tent?
Then, who is the person in the tent!
The answer seems to be ready to come out...
