"What? All gone?"
On behalf of Dai County, Gongzi Jia, who was in the mansion at the moment, almost lost his breath when he heard the report from his subordinates.
Dozens of carriages of ore, as well as Quyang's ore worth hundreds or even thousands of gold, were all discovered by the Qin army!
Even Gongzi Jia cannot ignore this huge loss.
Nowadays, apart from Handan, Zhao State only has Dai Di, and its national power has long been inferior to what it used to be.
If these ores are lost.
The plan to prepare military equipment to replace the local defenders will be postponed to a later date.
"It's Qin General Bai Yan again!"
Young Master Jia gritted his teeth.
At the mention of this name, Gongzi Jia was filled with hatred.
"Sir, this is the news sent by Quyang City Guards at the risk of his life!"
At this time, the man who was reporting took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and handed it to Gongzi Jia.
When Gongzi Jia heard that it was Quyang City Guards, he frowned slightly and reached out to take the bamboo slips.
However, after seeing the contents, Gongzijia's expression changed drastically.
"not good!"
Gongzijia put away the bamboo slips and shook his head.
"No, we must not implicate the Xu family or Xu Zixiao!"
Gongzijia said softly.
After the Qin general Bai Yan found the Quyang ore and found out that he gave it to Xu Zixiao, he ordered an investigation into the news about Xu Zixiao and the Xu family.
Gongzijia knew in his heart that before long, Xu Zixiao would no longer be able to hide the fact that he gave him grain and grain, and the Qin State would definitely try its best to deal with the Xu family and Xu Zixiao.
Publicly or privately, he would never let Xu be implicated.
Especially when he came to Daijun and needed help from other nobles.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
At this time, Wu Gao, accompanied by his maid, also came to the study. Seeing Gongzi Jia's face looking very embarrassed, he asked softly.
Gongzi Jia looked at Wu Gao.
"The ore has been intercepted by the Qin army, and the Qin general Bai Yan is now wanted for Xu Zixiao!"
Gongzijia said, and then handed the bamboo slips to Wu Gao.
Now, in addition to the clan members who left Handan with him and those old ministers, Wu Gao was all the people who had been following him long ago.
Therefore, Gongzijia naturally trusted Wu Gao very much.
"What?"
Wu Gao frowned when he heard Gongzi Jia's words.
He and Gongzi Jia were lucky that Xu Zixiao did not take away the ore before. They could use this batch of ore to take a breather after arriving in Dai County.
But now he was discovered by the Qin army?
"Sir, is there a traitor?"
After Wu Gao read the bamboo slips, he looked at Gongzi Jia.
Gongzijia shook his head.
"I don't know yet, I need time to find out!"
After Gongzijia finished speaking, he looked at the wooden window in the distance with his brows furrowed.
It was said to be an investigation, but Gongzi Jia knew very well that the person who betrayed him would be protected by Qin General Bai Yan. Finding out was not easy.
"Can't we just check it from the source?"
A woman's voice came from the door. When Gongzi Jia and Wu Gao heard the words, they turned around and saw the beautiful and enchanting Zhao Qiu.
"What do you mean, princess?"
When Wu Gao saw Zhao Qiu, he cupped his hands and said, his Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhao Qiu.
When the eldest sister was here, he was not so afraid of Zhao Qiu. However, since Xu Zixiao was poisoned and left, the eldest sister has gone crazy and wants to find an antidote. Now that the eldest sister is not here, he does not dare to anger Zhao Qiu.
"This is news from Handan. If the guess is correct, I'm afraid it won't be long before Guo Kai will act as an internal agent in Handan City and help the Qin army open the city gate!"
Zhao Qiu took the bamboo slips and said to Gongzi Jia.
Hearing this, Gongzi Jia took the bamboo slip from Zhao Qiu and then looked at the contents.
Regarding Zhao Qiu's news, Gongzi Jia knew very well that it related to Handan City. In terms of news, he was far from Zhao Qiu. Zhao Qiu's informants in Handan City were involved in most restaurants, even officials and concubines. .
Since it is Zhao Qiu's news, it must be true.
"When the city of Handan is destroyed and Zhao Qian is captured, you can establish yourself as king in Dai."
Zhao Qiu looked at Gongzi Jia and said softly in his soft voice.
Zhao Qiu knew that Gongzi Jia had been waiting for Zhao Qian to be captured. Only when Zhao Qian was captured could Gongzi Jia establish himself as king. Only with the title of king could Gongzi Jia be qualified enough to compete with Yan, Wei, and Qi. , Chu negotiates.
"What is the source?"
Gongzijia put away the bamboo slips and looked at Zhao Qiu with confusion.
Gongzijia did not want to hide his thoughts from Zhao Qiu, and he also knew that he could not hide his thoughts from Zhao Qiu.
He, other ministers and clan members had indeed been waiting for the city of Handan to be broken.
"I'll go to Yanmen to see Bai Yan!"
Zhao Qiu said to Gongzi Jia: "Yanmen is adjacent to Daidi. Not to mention the Bai family's iron cavalry under the command of Qin general Bai Yan, they are all warriors who fight to the death. Even the Qin general Bai Yan is good at fighting. He is the best in Yan." Men, are you relieved?"
After Zhao Qiu finished speaking, he looked at Gongzi Jia.
Gongzijia's face was a little gloomy. He knew that Zhao Qiu was right, not to mention that among the ministers he brought, there were no capable generals.
Even if there were generals in the past, if the Qin general Bai Yan were in Yanmen, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.
Don't you see, the former Korean general Shen Yan was discovered by the Qin general Bai Yan and his plan was finally defeated outside the capital city.
You don’t see what will happen if the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu go south.
Not to mention that the Qin general Bai Yan, whom Wu'an Lord Li Mu had fought against before, was actually able to fight against Wu'an Lord.
The battle at Jingxing is still vivid in my mind!
Gongzijia closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he looked at Zhao Qiu.
"You want to leave? Are you sure you can get close to Bai Yan? Become his person?"
Gongzi Jia asked. After knowing that Zhao Qiu was preparing to approach the Qin general Bai Yan, in addition to knowing that Zhao Qiu was preparing to leave, he was also somewhat concerned about Zhao Qiu's safety.
If Zhao Qiu can really become the woman of Qin general Bai Yan.
Although he will lose an important source of information, in the future, he will no longer have to worry about the cavalry in Yanmen, they will come at any time, and he believes that Zhao Qiu can also find out who betrayed him.
"The safest place is a man's pillow! It's not difficult to deal with men!"
When Zhao Qiu heard Gongzi Jia's words, he was noncommittal.
There are very few men who can be indifferent to her, so few that she clearly remembers those few.
And there was only one person who could lie in front of her without changing his face!
That is Wu Yun's sweetheart.
Xu Zixiao, who does not know whether he is alive or dead now!
"Contact Mrs. Shen! I need an identity!"
After Zhao Qiu finished speaking, he slowly turned around and walked out of the study.
She came here only to say Gongzijia. After leaving Handan, she understood that the Zhao Kingdom was over and she was not very optimistic about Gongzijia.
Zhao Qiu knew that he must hide himself and disappear from the eyes of the world.
The best way.
That is to go to Qin, and for her, the best choice is to become the Qin general's woman.
The Bai family, the Bai family of Qin State.
She asked about Qin General Bai Yan and heard that there was no woman around him yet.
Think of this.
Who would have thought that when the State of Zhao fell, King Zhao Qian was captured and the young master Jiadai became independent, but she quietly became a member of the Bai family.
In the study room.
The back of Young Master Jia Zhao Qiu leaving.
When Wu Gao saw this, he didn't know whether he was envious of the Qin general Bai Yan, whom he had never met before, or what.
Yanmen.
Juzhu Mountain outside Xianyu City is the source of the largest river in Yanmen.
Bai Yan came on horseback.
Downstream of the river, tens of thousands of people were busy digging canals.
Bai Yan watched this scene and watched Pu Xi, the newly promoted cavalry general, hand the bamboo slips to him.
Bai Yan took the bamboo slip and watched the grain and millet in it being consumed.
"General, the people are here!"
When Bai Yan was looking at the bamboo slips, the voice of a soldier came. Bai Yan raised his head and saw that behind the cavalry soldiers, Yifang and several other men came to him covered in dirt.
"How long will it take to connect the first small canal?"
Bai Yan looked at the people in Yifang and asked softly.
"There's still one month left, it should be almost there!"
Facing Bai Yan's inquiry, Yi Fang looked at Bai Yan with a complex expression and reported softly.
Several other men, whether it was Yu He or HP, were all complicated and even a little bit frightened towards Bai Yan at this moment.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, if they had not participated in it personally, they would not have been able to imagine that Bai Yan could actually use various methods in a short period of time to make all Zhao Bianqi's soldiers lose the idea of defense.
As a former general of Zhao Bianqi.
Yu He and others all knew that it was not difficult to kill Zhao Bianqi, but what was difficult was to make Zhao Bianqi give up all resistance and completely surrender.
Bai Yan really did it!
"Okay! Tell them that they and their families don't need to worry about their food supplies. If the first water canal is opened as soon as possible, they can see their families as soon as possible."
Bai Yan nodded when he heard Yifang's words, and then looked at the other people: "This canal is related to the survival of the people of Yanmen next year, so we can't be careless! Please take care of it!"
Bai Yan's words fell.
Whether it was Yifang or several other men, they all nodded.
Behind Bai Yan, Yan Mao and other generals looked at the honest and honest appearance of these once powerful generals riding on Zhao's side, and looked at Bai Yan with a look of admiration.
After a few people left.
Yanmao, who had been holding back his laughter just now, couldn't help laughing and looked at Bai Yan.
"General, these people have all surrendered!"
Chai said to Bai Yan.
Chai on the side did not speak, and there was no smile on his face. As Bai Yan's deputy, Chai was highly valued and trusted by Bai Yan.
The other cavalry generals didn't know, but Chai Ke knew the price the general paid behind these obediences.
Just by spreading the news, all of Zhao Bianqi's family members gathered north of Yanmen and rescued them with rare food. This alone would put the general under tremendous pressure.
Fortunately, the general did not waste his efforts.
Now these Zhao Bianqi's family members have gathered from all over Yanmen. Now Zhao Bianqi's soldiers know that the general is saving their families. It was the young master Jia from Daidi who sent people to make these Zhao Bianqi rebel. These Zhao Bianqi It won't be counter-intuitive.
Moreover, the meaning of General Cai's words was also clearly told to these former Zhaoqi generals.
If there are no water canals available next year, and tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi's family members will suffer from drought, it will be all because of them, Zhao Qi generals.
In this situation.
These Zhao Cavalry generals did not dare to have any thoughts of rebellion.
Not to mention that Chai Ke knew that recently, due to the general's order, many helpless women from Zhao had learned that as long as they were Zhao Bianqi's wife and children, they could get rare food.
Many women tried their best to become Zhao Bianqi's wife.
This is something that even the cavalry soldiers are envious of.
With a home in the north, when the Huns move south, the most courageous cavalry will appear in the eyes of the world.
