Outside Xianyang.
After finishing the day's affairs, Bai Yan looked at the sky and saw that it was already past noon. Bai Yu should have already gone to court.
Yesterday, Bai Yan agreed to take Bai Yu to the cavalry camp today. Naturally, Bai Yan would not forget it.
Think of this.
Bai Yan was about to leave in a carriage.
However, I don’t know if Fusu once asked his subordinates to watch. When Bai Yan was about to leave, Fusu happened to walk out of the palace.
"Eldest Young Master!"
When Bai Yan saw Fusu coming out, he naturally would not ignore Fusu, so after handing the horse to his confidant, he watched Fusu walk over and bowed his hands in a ceremony.
Fusu also raised his hand and returned the greeting seriously to Bai Yan.
After the ceremony.
Fusu and Bai Yan put down their hands and looked at each other.
"The maid just reported that the general is about to leave. I heard that the general is going to the cavalry camp with General Bai Yu. I wonder if Fusu will go with him to see the majestic cavalry!"
Fusu asked very politely.
To be honest, if Bai Yan hadn't known how Fusu died in later generations, Bai Yan would have really thought that Fusu was faking it.
If at first he saw that Young Master Fusu looked and sounded very similar to Ying Zheng, then after meeting him, Bai Yan felt that Fu Su and Ying Zheng were very different in character.
I don't know if it's because Fusu is only twelve or thirteen years old, or because Fusu has never experienced what Ying Zheng experienced when he was a child, or because the group of Confucian scholars and the Chu clan taught Fusu since he was a child.
In short, it is difficult to see the shadow of Ying Zheng in Fusu's character.
"If the young master wants to go, Bai Yan will naturally welcome him. It is the iron knight's luck to have the attention of the eldest young master."
Bai Yan raised his hand and said to Fusu while compiling the salute.
Previously, Fusu wanted to invite Bai Yan to go to the Young Master's Mansion after finishing his work today. Fusu would order his servants to prepare a fine wine and banquet.
Bai Yan then told Fu Su that he was going to the cavalry camp and declined.
Never thought about it.
Fusu actually wants to go to the camp together now.
But when Fusu opened his mouth, Bai Yan naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Thank you!"
When Fusu heard Bai Yan's answer, he raised his hand and bowed in gratitude.
Then Fusu invited Bai Yan to ride in the carriage together. Bai Yan looked around and hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse.
Bai Yu's mansion.
When Bai Yu heard that Bai Yan's cronies came to report, he looked surprised.
Young Master Fusu actually came together with Bai Yan!
As a general of the Qin State, how could Bai Yu not know that the people standing behind the young master Fusu were the Chu clan, and Lord Changping and Lord Changwen were the strong supporters of Fusu.
It can be said that the reason why Young Master Fusu's position among the Young Masters of Qin is so stable now and there is no need to worry at all is because the power behind him is too huge.
As long as Lord Changping and Lord Changwen do not fall, and as long as the Chu clan still exists, the other princes and princesses of Qin will not even think about competing for the throne.
Ying Zheng has the final say in the Qin State, but looking at the officials and the number of people in the Chu family, we know that even Ying Zheng will not rashly plunge the Qin State into turmoil and make the country unstable.
Think of this.
Bai Yu stood up and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
Originally, he was planning to wait for Bai Yan in the mansion, but now that Fusu is here, Bai Yan cannot bring Fusu to find him, otherwise if word spreads, Bai Yu will have to prove what he said.
Even if Ying Zheng did not establish a heir apparent, Fusu would still be the eldest son.
Half an hour later.
To the west of Xianyang City.
When Bai Yu saw Bai Yan, Bai Yan was chatting with Fusu, standing beside the carriage, talking and laughing.
"Bai Yu, I've met the eldest son!"
Bai Yu got up and down, turned over and dismounted, and then came to Fusu and bowed his hands in ceremony.
Looking at Fusu, who was only eleven or twelve years old, Bai Yu felt complicated. After knowing that it was Lord Changping who wanted to kill him, he was still preparing to get rid of the Bai family.
For Lord Changping, Bai Yu can be said to be irreconcilable.
And in the future, a hundred years after Ying Zheng, once Fusu succeeds to the throne of Qin, Bai Yu will know without even a second thought that Lord Changping will still control the court with Fusu's trust.
Not only will this revenge not be avenged, I am afraid that one day, sooner or later, under the influence of Lord Changping, the Bai family will gradually lose the trust and importance of Qin.
Think of this.
Bai Yu felt deep in his heart that he did not want to see Fusu succeed to the throne in the future.
"Fusu, meet General Bai Yu!"
Fusu returned the greeting to Bai Yu.
After the ceremony, Fusu looked at Bai Yu: "Fusu happened to meet General Bai Yan today. He heard that General Bai Yan was going to the cavalry camp. Fusu had heard about the cavalry for a long time, so he went with him to see the cavalry."
As Fusu spoke, he turned to look at Bai Yan beside him.
On the way from the Queen Mother's Palace, Fusu asked Bai Yan many, many things. For example, in the past when he was in Shangjun, Bai Yan was alone on his cavalry and faced the danger of the Xiongnu and Yuezhi heading south!
While waiting for Bai Yu at the back, he asked about the battles between Yan and Jingxing in the battle to destroy Zhao.
After knowing everything that happened, and what Bai Yan said, Fusu listened as if he was actually in the situation, feeling the danger, despair, and fighting spirit, and made a desperate move.
Likewise, through these things and all the details, even Fusu, who was not a good military strategist, finally understood why his father valued Bai Yan so highly and why Taifu Mao Jiao allowed him to have more contact with him than Bai Yan.
Such a general who is good at fighting is the backbone of the country and a general on the battlefield, whether it is Qin or other vassal states.
Fu Su is still young, and he also knows that no matter which vassal country he is in, as long as Bai Yan has no different intentions and does not betray, people like Bai Yan should be reused.
"The eldest son is going to the camp. I think the soldiers will be extremely excited when they find out."
Bai Yu replied to Fusu.
By this time, the care had been taken care of and the courtesy had been extended. Bai Yu put down his hand and followed Fusu's gaze to look at Bai Yan.
At this moment, Bai Yu's eyes were full of questions, and he didn't understand why Bai Yan wanted to get closer to Fusu.
But due to Fusu's presence and the crowds of people, Bai Yu couldn't ask.
Beside the carriage.
Bai Yan naturally saw the look in Bai Yu's eyes. Since there were outsiders, Bai Yan naturally didn't explain much.
Then, under the escort of guards, retinues, and confidants, they continued to return to the carriage and headed west.
Along the way.
Fusu had never experienced war and had never seen Fusu on the battlefield. He didn't know whether it was because of flattery or because he was particularly curious about things on the battlefield. From time to time, he asked Bai Yan about matters on the battlefield.
Bai Yan was patient enough to answer.
After a long time.
Before the carriage had stopped, Bai Yan and Fusu, who were sitting in the carriage, could already vaguely hear the sound of the galloping cavalry.
Bai Yan stood up and opened the curtain of the carriage in front of him. What came into view was the vast military camp in the distance.
Bai Yan and Fusu both saw that in the large camp, countless tents were erected, the black flag with the word Qin fluttering in the wind, the sound of horse hoofbeats and the sound of drills, and the horses coming and going stirred up dust.
When Fusu saw this scene, he had always been calm and polite, but his eyes were a little excited at this moment.
As the eldest son of the King of Qin and the eldest son of Qin, Fusu's first thought when he saw a large group of cavalry was.
This is the Qin cavalry!
My father's support in conquering the Six Kingdoms!
It was the Great Qin Cavalry that had defeated Han and Zhao in the past!
Camp.
After a while, the carriage slowly arrived at the main gate of the camp. All the cavalry officers guarding the gate couldn't help being surprised when they saw the five-horse carriage.
When the carriage stopped and saw the general getting out of the carriage, the soldiers were relieved in their hearts.
It would be good if the general was here, otherwise if they were not careful and offended the young master unintentionally, they would not be saved by then.
"General!"
"General!!"
The cavalry soldiers standing guard with long swords in their hands saw Bai Yan arriving and saluted Bai Yan quickly.
As for Bai Yu next to Bai Yan, many of the cavalry officers had never seen him. Fortunately, the leading general had seen Bai Yu from a distance and recognized him.
"General Bai Yu!"
After the general saluted Bai Yanji, he turned to Bai Yuji and saluted.
When Bai Yu saw this, although he was mentally prepared not to be recognized, when he saw that the general still recognized him, he felt relieved, as if a burden had been lifted.
After all, no matter what, the iron cavalry in front of me was under his command, and he fought with him all over the country. It would be false to say that he didn't care.
"Have you seen me? What's your name?"
Bai Yu looked at the general and asked, since this general knew him, he should be a veteran of the cavalry.
"Back to General Bai Yu, my humble name is Miao Shan!"
The general replied with his hands in hand.
After finishing speaking, Miao Shan noticed General Bai Yu's thoughtful expression. It was no surprise that when General Bai Yu led the cavalry army, he was just a pawn.
As the commander of the cavalry, it was normal for General Bai Yu not to recognize him.
The only general who could remember his soldiers was his current general, Bai Yan.
"General, when Miao Shan was in Yangcheng, his title was only superior!"
Seeing that General Bai Yu was still thinking, Miao Shan explained.
But it was better that Miao Shan didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Bai Yu turned his head instantly and looked at him with surprise in his eyes, as if he doubted whether his ears heard correctly.
"You are in Yangcheng, and your title is just a superior one?"
Bai Yu asked.
How is this possible? It has only been a long time. Looking at Miao Shan's appearance now, he has already reached his title.
"Return to the general! It's absolutely true!"
When Miao Shan heard Bai Yu's words, he raised his hand to salute.
"My subordinates will never deceive the general!"
Miao Shan finished speaking.
At this time, I also saw that behind General Bai Yu, a young man wearing silk clothes had stepped out of the carriage. I saw the young man's clothes and decorations, and saw the general calling the young man the eldest son.
At this time, not to mention Miao Shan, even the other cavalry soldiers already knew that there was only one person in the entire Qin Kingdom who could make the general the eldest son.
Young Master Fusu!
Thinking of this, all the cavalry soldiers began to breathe quickly unconsciously.
Every soldier knows that if there is no accident, that young man will be the next successor of the Qin Kingdom and the king of the entire Qin Kingdom in the future.
"See the eldest son!"
"See the eldest son!!"
When all the cavalry officers saw the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy coming with the general, they held their hands in front of him and saluted him.
This scene made the cavalry soldiers and some cavalry generals who had been watching in the distance open their mouths in shock after hearing the sound clearly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Then all the soldiers lowered their heads and saluted in the direction of the young man.
The cavalry officers and soldiers were soldiers from various places in the Qin State. Some left the cities where they lived when they were young, and some left their hometowns in the mountains and forests.
But whether it is people living in cities or in the mountains and fields.
Before this, no one had dared to think that one day they would be able to meet the eldest son of Qin.
Even when they learned that they were going to escort the king to Handan, the soldiers knew clearly in their hearts that the king would lead the imperial guards and his entourage. As iron cavalry, they basically had no chance to see the king.
Never thought about it.
The eldest son actually came to the camp today.
After a while.
"Let's go and have a look!"
"Go, go, go!!"
When they saw the general and the eldest son going to the training ground of the camp, all the soldiers followed behind them.
Inside the camp.
The cavalry soldiers were practicing on horseback. A famous cavalry soldier rode a galloping horse, holding a crossbow and firing arrows at the wooden handle in the distance.
As arrows continued to fly, other cavalry soldiers were watching and couldn't help but cheer loudly from time to time.
At this moment.
Bai Yan took Fusu and Bai Yu to the training ground and looked at the cavalry soldiers training in the distance.
"color!"
Fusu looked at the brave cavalry soldiers, holding bows and crossbows, with very few arrows missing the target, and couldn't help but cheer.
Bai Yu stood aside, watching the drills of the cavalry soldiers, and couldn't help but nod.
As a military leader, Bai Yu could naturally see that the ability to shoot arrows so accurately at a hundred steps while riding a horse had a huge relationship with the stirrups on the feet of the soldiers.
In the past, the cavalry army under Bai Yu's command did not have stirrups, and they were equipped with both bows and crossbows. Now they have stirrups, and Bai Yan pays more attention to training bows and crossbows.
With all these things, seeing this scene is beyond expectation, but it is also reasonable.
"Can the stirrups be equipped with all the soldiers in the army?"
Bai Yu turned his head, looked at Bai Yan and asked.
Bai Yu never imagined that handing the cavalry soldiers into Bai Yan's hands would not only bring out Bai Yan's talent as a general, but also allow Bai Yan to unintentionally create this stirrup that is beneficial to cavalry combat.
In the past battle between Yan and Yan, Bai Yu knew clearly that the reason why Bai Yan dared to lead his cavalry to attack Zhao Jun's wall, defeat Zhao Jun's defense line with one blow, and rescue Yang Yan and his troops was because of this stirrup. If it hadn't been for this stirrup, No matter how brave and skillful the cavalry soldiers are, they will probably be defeated by Zhao army and there will be very few left.
"Everything!"
Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words and replied to Bai Yu.
Turning to look at the training warriors in the distance, Bai Yan explained to Bai Yu and Fu Su that the cavalry army was now divided into martyrs based on their strengths.
Those who are good at fighting, riding with halberds, will be the vanguard in every battle, and the first in a deadly battle.
Those who are good at riding, scouting and patrolling, good at using bows and crossbows, and capable of shooting and pulling, will be able to block several times of infantry in a battle.
Bai Yan explained to Bai Yu and Fu Su, and named some of the small-scale troops under him.
These were all taught to him by Mr. Wei, and when selecting the main generals, Bai Yan also used the Six Tao and his own observations to assign generals and deputy generals.
As for the heavy knight that Bai Yan valued the most and looked forward to the most.
Bai Yan was not in a hurry to say it.
The armor of the heavy cavalry is tight. After Ying Zheng agreed to let the heavy cavalry be forged, according to the previous design, everything from the war horse to the mask was refined with iron ore. It often required a lot of money, and it was no different to say it now.
Moreover, there are Lord Changwen and Lord Changping behind Young Master Fusu.
Although Bai Yan had been ordered to station in the north to resist the Huns in the north, Bai Yan knew that if he had not been there when he attacked Chu for the first time, Lord Changping would have succeeded and rebelled against Qin and become the king of Chu.
If that happens, Bai Yan might have the opportunity to go south and give Lord Changping a meeting gift with Chu State.
As long as there are five hundred heavy armored cavalry, Bai Yan dares to attack the Chu army's formation.
"What a man who must be the vanguard in every battle and the first in a deadly battle!"
After hearing Bai Yan's words, Fusu's cheeks moved slightly with an expression that was somewhat similar to Ying Zheng's.
No wonder the Bai clan's cavalry dared to fight in Shangjun with more than 10,000 soldiers against the armies of the Yuezhi and Xiongnu tribes.
"Then Miao Shan was a halberd warrior?"
Bai Yu suddenly looked at Bai Yan and asked.
Bai Yu's expression was a little complicated at this moment.
It was difficult for those soldiers to make meritorious deeds following him, but now that they are following Bai Yan, even the former Shangzao has now been promoted to the highest rank.
"Miao Shan was originally a soldier in the central part of Kuai, and then there was Zhaoyang. In the battle between Yan and Xi, both Zhaoyang and Xi Yuan died in the battle. Kuai Zhong under Zhaoyang was also killed at that station. Miao Shan was at that station. Fight, kill two generals, and get their heads."
Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words and replied.
Inside the camp.
Because of the arrival of Bai Yan and others, other training cavalry soldiers have stopped training one after another.
At this time, after Miao Shan went to report, Yanmao, who got the news, had already come to Bai Yan.
"Fan Mao meets the young master, and meets the general!"
Yanmao saluted Fusu, then looked at Bai Yan and Bai Yu, and saluted again.
Bai Yu looked at Yanmao, his former subordinate, without saying anything. He raised his hand full of emotion and returned the gift. After the ceremony, he looked at the hideous scar cut by a sharp blade on Yanmao's cheek.
Bai Yu reached out and patted Yanmao on the shoulder.
"General!"
Yanmao didn't say anything at this moment, he just called him another name.
In fact, not only Yanmao, but also Miao Shan who was behind Yanmao was rejoicing in his heart at this moment. Fortunately, General Bai Yan and General Bai Yu were both members of the Bai clan.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult now. After all, Bai Yu was once his general.
After fighting together for so many years, it is impossible to forget.
But compared to General Bai Yu, in fact, both Yanmao and Miao Shan prefer to follow Bai Yan. Not only them, but other generals and veterans in the army are like this.
Nothing else.
If I have followed General Bai Yu for so many years, it is a matter of affection and friendship.
So Bai Yan, who used to add firewood to the soldiers by the campfire late at night, was always at the front during bloody battles, and always distributed rewards to the soldiers in private, actually made them willing to die together. .
Shangjun Gaonu, Yan and the thousands of tombstones outside the city.
These.
No one ever does it for them.
The soldiers all know clearly that there is no status in life and no tomb in death. This is what happens after every soldier is killed in battle.
But Bai Yan would stubbornly erect a tomb for every soldier who died in battle.
The officers were even more aware of the memorial tablets enshrined in Yanmen Mansion for the generals, captains, and captains, and the scrolls of bamboo slips filled with the names of the officers and soldiers.
Those spiritual tablets and the names on those bamboo slips were not carved by the maid, let alone the literate official or diner, but by Bai Yan, the general, who carved the names of the fallen soldiers one by one stroke by stroke. , carved by hand.
How many soldiers looked at the young man carving words under the candlelight late at night with red eyes.
Compared with the cavalry officers, Yanmao and Miao Shan, these generals actually knew very well among themselves that the general had done a lot of things for the soldiers in private, but the general just didn't talk about it.
Among the wounded and disabled soldiers, not all of them were kneeling and crying and wanted to go back to the camp, and it was not that there were no soldiers who did not want to drag the general down and committed suicide after being unable to think about it.
"I have long heard that General Yanmao is a brave general! When I see him today, he is really brave."
Fusu looked at Yanmao.
After Fusu finished speaking, Yanmao quickly handed over his hands to prepare the ceremony.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Master!"
Hearing the praise from the young Fusu, Yanmao did not look down upon him. If he were a young master, he would just say this, but what if he succeeded to the throne?
Subsequently.
Accompanied by Yanmao, Bai Yu and Fusu followed Bai Yan and continued to watch the soldiers drill.
Just watching it is a bit boring. After all, the soldiers' training is not like the nobles, dignitaries, or nobles shooting birds and deer in the hunting grounds of their fiefdoms.
Looking at a target full of arrows will always become boring after looking at it for a long time.
But just when Bai Yan was planning to take Fusu Yu Baiyu to see other places.
Suddenly, several eunuchs hurriedly came from a distance, carrying not only edicts, but also a roll of bamboo slips.
Bai Yan and Fusu looked at each other, and Bai Yu frowned slightly, full of confusion.
Then in the eyes of everyone.
The eunuch came to Fusu and read the edict anxiously.
The content of the edict was very complicated. It was nothing more than scolding Fusu for some things and ordering Fusu to deal with one thing.
Bai Yan was listening as he bowed his hands and suddenly noticed that Fusu's face was full of panic.
Seeing this, Bai Yan couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder Zhao Gao and Li Si were able to get rid of Fusu with a single edict in the future. Even Meng Tian, a military strategist who was not good at strategy, felt something was wrong, but Fusu did not dare to question.
This is obviously a fear of his father Ying Zheng that has appeared since childhood, and both Li Si and Zhao Gao know this.
After the eunuch finished reading the content.
Under Bai Yan's gaze, Fusu took the bamboo slips from the eunuch's hand.
After Fusu opened it, he looked at the bamboo slips inside, his face full of panic.
"General Bai Yan, General Bai Yu, Fusu has something to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
After Fusu put away the bamboo slips, he turned to Bai Yan and Bai Yu and said.
After saying that, he handed over his hand and made a gift.
"Young master has something important to do. If you want to come to the camp next time if you have a chance, Bai Yan will definitely accompany you!"
Bai Yan returned the courtesy with his hands in hand.
I don't know if it was Bai Yan's words that made Fusu feel that the trip was worthwhile. After hearing Bai Yan's words, Fusu's expression became much calmer and he nodded quickly.
After saluting Bai Yu again, Fusu took his followers and left in a hurry.
Bai Yan stood there, watching Fusu's leaving figure with Bai Yu.
to be honest.
Just listening to the edict, Bai Yan vaguely felt for some reason that Ying Zheng didn't seem to want Fusu to get close to him, or he didn't want him to get close to Young Master Fusu.
Bai Yan didn't know if he was being suspicious.
Although Bai Yan did not see the content of the bamboo slips that the eunuch gave to Fusu just now, it was not difficult to tell from Fusu's face that it was by no means an easy task.
Fusu Qianqiu had just invited him to teach swordsmanship. Not long after, Ying Zheng gave Fusu a difficult and time-consuming task.
Behind any coincidence, there is probably a reason.
Are you worried that the Yanmen incident will affect Fusu, or are you worried that you will get together with the Chu clan behind Fusu, or because of other things.
Bai Yan thought for a while, but had no clue.
But Bai Yan doesn't want to pay attention to that much now. Fusu doesn't have time, which is also a good thing for him. This way he doesn't have to face those Chu officials and Confucian scholars.
Thinking of going to see Lu Sheng later, Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Bai Yu.
It happened that Bai Yu also looked at Bai Yan after seeing Fusu leaving at this time.
"If you have time tonight, come to my mansion."
Bai Yu said to Bai Yan.
Although this is a cavalry camp, there are some things that the fewer people know about, the better.
Bai Yu once led the Bai family's cavalry, and Bai Yu could feel the way Bu Qu looked at Bai Yan in the past.
Dear friends, thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you!
