"Old Yang!"
In the governor's house, Yang Duanhe was sitting on his knees in the room, dealing with Yanmen affairs. There was going to be a war, so things like food and grass naturally needed to be focused on.
The person who spoke during the ceremony was surprisingly a young man. Although this man was young, the official uniform he wore and the rank he wore clearly revealed that he was not only an official of the Qin State, but his status was not low.
"Zi Zhen!"
When Yang Duanhe saw Mi Jing, the son of Lord Chang Wen, he smiled and raised his hand to salute.
A few days ago, Mi Jing took the Wang Zhao from Xianyang and came to Yanmen to serve as the censor. The censor is subordinate to Zhongcheng, the censor in Xianyang. In the county, the censor's duty is to supervise all officials in Yanmen. , including the county guard and the county lieutenant, of course, the censor has no real power. Even if the county guard or the county captain makes a mistake, the censor can only write to Xianyang and send it to the censor Zhongcheng, who will then write to the censor. Doctor, finally presented to Ying Zheng.
The character for Mi Jing is compensation.
Yang Duanhe, who is young and handsome, is naturally no stranger to him at this age. As the eldest son of Lord Chang Wen, Mi Jing went to major families in Xianyang when he was very young. When Mi Jing grew up, he often visited them. Yang's relationship with Yang Yan is quite good.
"sit!"
Yang Duanhe motioned to Mi Jing to sit down and talk first.
When Mi Jing heard Yang Duanhe's words, he was not polite. After facing Yang Duanhe and Ji Li seriously, he came to the wooden table, knelt down and then raised his head to look at Yang Duanhe.
"I heard that Mr. Yang has transferred the Bai's cavalry to Yishui? Mr. Yang, the Bai's cavalry is the elite of the Qin cavalry. Now that Yanmen is in danger, why would Mr. Yang choose... to transfer Bai's cavalry to Yishui? Is the Clan's cavalry transferred to Yishui?"
Mi Jing asked with confusion.
In Mi Jing's heart, as his father's eldest son, he naturally knew very well about the incident between his father and his uncle. He also understood that his uncle wanted to kill Bai Yan, and even the entire Bai family did not do so in a day or two. However, now the entire Yanmen family was in a state of confusion. If there is danger, Mi Jing would rather see Yanmen safe and sound than taking the opportunity to get rid of Bai Yan's cavalry.
This is not because he cares about the people of Yanmen as a whole, but because he is still serving as the censor of Yanmen.
Therefore, after hearing Mr. Yang's order to transfer the Bai family's cavalry to Yishui, he couldn't sit still and immediately came to the county governor's mansion.
"It turns out that Zizhen came here because of this incident. Speaking of Bai's cavalry going to Yishui, it was not my decision, but General Wang Jian's request in the letter!"
Yang Duanhe looked at Mi Jing and explained after knowing the reason why Mi Jing came.
"I can understand why General Wang Jian is like this. First, General Wang Jian doesn't know that Bai Yan has returned to Yanmen. Therefore, in General Wang Jian's eyes, the number of Bai's iron cavalry is not as good as that of the side cavalry. In addition, Bai Yan is not in Yanmen. Gate, Bai's Iron Cavalry is more suitable to go to Yishui. In Yishui, there are generals such as Xin Sheng, Wang Ben, Li Xin, etc., plus the Qin State's army, Bai's Iron Cavalry can more easily exert its military power in Yishui! "
Yang Duanhe said this and smiled.
"As for Yanmen, General Wang Jian does not need to worry if the troops with more horses are stationed in Yanmen. Among the tens of thousands of troops, the families of countless generals and soldiers are in Yanmen. If the Xiongnu goes south, the troops will have to work hard. , and did not dare not to fight tooth and nail, so he left his side to ride in Yanmen, and General Wang Jian felt more at ease!"
After Yang Duanhe finished speaking, he smiled and sighed.
In fact, there was another reason that Yang Duanhe didn't say out loud, and that was that Wang Jian still didn't dare to completely trust Bian Qi.
Yang Duanhe understood Wang Jian very well on this point. If it were him, Yang Duanhe, who was leading the army, it would have been less than a year since the border cavalry returned, and he was not Bai Yan. As the commander-in-chief of the entire army appointed by Yingzheng, he would lead the army. With the Qin army attacking Yan, no matter what, he would not dare to hand over the huge threat of the Huns in the north to the former Zhao Bianqi and Zhao people.
When the Qin army went to the battlefield, they exposed their backs to the Xiongnu and Zhao people. No general in the entire Qin State dared to do this. After all, everyone knew... No, maybe only Bai Yan dared, and Only Bai Yan is so capable.
The longer he came to Yanmen, the more Yang Duanhe felt that the current stability of Yanmen was not the reason for the fall of Zhao State, nor was it the Qin army in Yanmen.
But, because of Bai Yan alone!
In other words, whether it is the current Yanmen people or the Bianqi, they did not surrender to the Qin State, and they did not serve the Qin State, but Bai Yan.
Whenever Yang Duanhe thinks about the feeling that Yanmen gave him, he feels quite scared. However, thinking about everything Bai Yan did in Yanmen, he can understand the people of Yanmen and those Zhao Bian. ride.
Regarding this feeling, not to mention the relationship with Bai Yan, Yang Duanhe had experienced the chaos in Yingchuan and was actually happy with this situation.
In the study room.
As Yang Duanhe told it, Mi Jing finally understood what happened.
"I see!"
Mi Jing nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, if the family members of those side riders are all in Yanmen, those side riders will not dare to fight timidly!"
But when it came to this, Mi Jing looked at Yang Duanhe with complicated eyes.
"But I just heard from Mr. Yang that General Bai Yan has returned to Yanmen? Zizhen always thought that the news circulating in the city was all false news."
For Mi Jing, he didn't know about Bai Yan's return to Yanmen.
Never knew.
As one of the three most important ministers of a county, Bai Yan, a county lieutenant and a supervisor, returned to Yanmen without telling him, which made Mi Jing feel vaguely slighted.
"Bai Yan has indeed returned to Yanmen, but due to the emergency situation, Bai Yan realized something was wrong in Yanmen before arriving at Hangu Pass, so he hurried all night to return to Shanwu, and then hurriedly came to see me. I went to the camp non-stop! In total, I didn’t even take a break!”
Yang Duan and his age naturally saw Mi Jing's expression at a glance. It was obvious that he was a little bothered by Bai Yan's lack of greeting. In order to allow Mi Jing to get along well with Bai Yan in the future, Mr. Yang explained it clearly for Bai Yan.
Moreover, Yang Duanhe couldn't help but sigh that Bai Yan could return to Yanmen. Fortunately, it was Bai Yan. Fortunately, after noticing something was wrong, Bai Yan immediately hurried on the road overnight.
"I see! It was a misunderstanding!"
After hearing what Mr. Yang said, Mi Jing looked at Mr. Yang's eyes. He always felt as if his thoughts were being read. He was a little embarrassed and felt guilty, so he didn't dare to look at each other, so he turned his head and looked out the window.
"If there is no accident, General Bai Yan is still in the barracks at this moment!"
As Mi Jing spoke, he stood up slowly and bowed his hands in front of Mr. Yang in salute: "Old Yang, Zishen has always admired General Bai Yan for a long time, so I will take my leave now!"
Mi Jing decided to go to see Bai Yan. This was not because Mi Jing really admired Bai Yan, but before he came, his father had repeatedly told him that in the future he would serve as a censor in Yanmen. No matter what, he would If you have a good relationship with Bai Yan, not only can you not take action, but even if Bai Yan makes a mistake, you must turn a blind eye.
The reason is that Yanmen fell into the hands of Bai Yan before the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed. Now, so long ago, after the robbery and sale, Bai Yan's influence in Yanmen is complicated, and his spies are everywhere, and he has no authority to do so. If you mess around, you may be killed.
Mi Jing didn't believe his father's words at first, feeling that Bai Yan couldn't do anything in less than a year. It wasn't until these days, after arriving in Shan Wu City, that Mi Jing fully discovered that all the wealthy families in Shan Wu City were... Without exception, almost all of them are related to Bai Yan.
Only then did Mi Jing realize why his father had told him so seriously over and over again not to offend Bai Yan in Yanmen.
"Okay! You two are about the same age, so it would be a good idea to meet up! He had learned that you were in Yanmen before, and he regretted not being able to meet you!"
Yang Duanhe watched Mi Jing leave but didn't hold him back.
Seeing Mi Jing turn around and walk out of the study, in Yang Duanhe's eyes, it would be a good thing for Bai Yan to have a good relationship with Chang Wenjun's eldest son. Chang Wenjun has always been prestigious in the court, even Li Yao, the Li family in Longxi The eldest son of the general, Li Xin, all worshiped Lord Chang Wen as their disciple. More importantly, Lord Chang Wen was among the officials of the Chu clan of the Qin State, second only to Lord Chang Ping, the right prime minister.

"kill!"
"kill!
"
in a boundless
In the camp, the surrounding huge open spaces were densely covered with soldiers of the side knights. Each of the side knights held long swords and sharp blades, and they were constantly practicing.
The war is coming, and no one dares to be careless.
And in the largest military tent in the endless camp, as the black flag with the word Qin fluttered, all the generals in the tent, including Yifang, Huipu, Yu He, etc., were all looking at the few side riders, where were they holding the soil? Splicing.
In history books, the earliest written maps can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, which was two thousand years old. Before that, let alone the battles between armies, even for the common people, after leaving their hometown, they were all blind.
The allusion of mountains of rice would not appear until later generations.
at the moment.
Under Bai Yan's order, many side riders, merchants, and hawkers were summoned. Everyone took the soil and carved out hills one by one according to their memory, and then asked the side riders to piece them together. This scene made Yifang and others surprised.
Looking at the huge wooden plate on the ground, in their eyes at this moment, it seemed as if they were in the high sky, overlooking the entire Yanmen territory, even Yunzhong and Daijun.
Is this what the general calls a mountain of dirt?
Although it is quite labor-intensive, once it is done, it is really clear to everyone.
Even this person, who came to Yanmen for the first time, looked at the small mud mountains of different heights and shapes on the wooden plate and had an understanding of the terrain of Yanmen.
"General, this is a secret message from Zenwu Castle!"
A cavalry officer on horseback came to the commander's tent and dismounted. Under the watchful eyes of the other two side riders, he hurriedly entered the commander's tent and then came to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan had been dealing with military camp affairs. After hearing what the soldiers said, he quickly took the letter from the soldiers.
After reading.
Bai Yan frowned slightly.
Yifang, HP, Yu He and others all looked at Bai Yan with curious faces, wondering what was written in the letter.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Yan put away the letter, then hurriedly stood up and came to the wooden plate. He did not look at Yanmen or Daidi, but looked towards the north.
"General, what's wrong?"
Yifang stepped forward, stood beside Bai Yan and asked curiously.
Bai Yan looked at the map and asked the busy knight soldiers to leave first.
Wait until all the border soldiers leave the camp.
"Tomorrow the Huns army will come to Yanmen! The Huns will attack Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng, and then 40,000 people will move south to the north of Yishui!"
Bai Yan said softly under the gaze of all the generals on the side.
In the camp, the generals such as Yi Fang, Hui Pu, Yu He, etc., after hearing Bai Yan's words, all looked at the huge map hanging on the wooden frame not far away with surprised expressions. There was a huge location on it with the words " With easy water.
"Yishui? Do the Huns want to attack Yishui this time?"
HP looked at the map, then looked at Bai Yan.
"General, what should we do now?"
HP asked, and his words also made other generals in the camp look at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan shook his head and then looked at the wooden plate.
"The real army of the Xiongnu is north of the Yunzhong Mountains!"
Bai Yan said, looking at the dense mounds of soil to the north of Yunzhong.
This was the news sent by Zhao Qiu. Looking at this news, Bai Yan had no doubts. Moreover, regarding the Xiongnu's plan, he could see that the conspiracy behind it was definitely not by the Huns. The Huns had always been rampant in the grassland. On the endless grassland, for the Huns, it was not just a single battle, mainly war horses, but also conspiracy and the like, which was far from the Central Plains people.
Although Zhao Qiu did not mention who came up with the idea in the letter, Bai Yan knew after thinking about it that there was a high probability that it was Guo Zong.
Only Guo Zong, who had been supporting the Xiongnu from behind, could convince the Xiongnu not only to go south, but more importantly, after capturing Yanmen, they would also circle back and deal with the Qin army with Daidi and Yan. This is something Gongzijia cannot do.
"The main force of the Huns is outside the Yunzhong Mountains?"
Yu He, Yifang and others frowned after hearing Bai Yan's words.
Look at this twists and turns of the plan.
In other words, the attack on Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng was all an illusion. After the news comes from Yishui, everyone will suddenly realize it. When the army and everyone's attention is on Yishui, or even reinforces Yishui, The Xiongnu will forcefully invade from the Yunzhong Mountains.
"General, if there are 40,000 people in Yishui, there shouldn't be many Huns left in the clouds."
A former general of the Zhao Kingdom, now a general on the side, raised his hands to Bai Yan and said, then turned to look at Yu He and others.
"The general doesn't understand why the Huns dare to divide their troops like this? Even though there is the Yuezhi, the Yuezhi and the Huns have always been at odds with each other! Why do the Huns dare to divide their 40,000 troops in Yishui?"
This general's name is Kuai Jin, and Bai Yan is no stranger to him. He is one of the few young generals among the side cavalry. In the early years when Li Mu was alive, he was deeply trusted by Li Mu.
After hearing what Kuai Jin said, Bai Yan knew that Kuai Jin was worried that the news might be wrong.
But Bai Yan knew clearly that the news would never be false.
Under Kuai Jin's gaze, Bai Yan turned around and walked towards the wooden table.
"Because the 40,000 people lurking north of Yishui now are not Huns, but all Donghu people."
Bai Yan said, telling the reason why he suddenly frowned just now, with Donghu's help, the Xiongnu could gather all their strength and go south.
"What, Dong Hu also participated in the march south?"
"This? Aren't the Donghu and the Xiongnu mortal enemies?"
In the camp, after hearing Bai Yan's words, even Yu He, Yifang, and Huipu looked in disbelief. In the eyes of almost everyone, compared with the Xiongnu who had just divided 40,000 troops to the north of Yishui, Donghu and the Xiongnu The news of the union made them feel even more incredible.
If only a few generals were worried that the news was false at first, now all the generals are somewhat doubtful about the authenticity of the news.
Don't blame them, they have been following the late General Li Mu to guard this land all year round. They know the north better than anyone else, and they understand better the origin of the hatred between the Xiongnu and Donghu.
The north is full of nomadic tribes, and there are hundreds of nomadic tribes, large and small, but in order to distinguish between Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and Donghu.
From this we can get a glimpse of the relationship between these three tribes.
Inside the tent.
Bai Yan came to the wooden table and looked at the map in front of him. Dong Hu's sudden addition caught him off guard, but with the help of Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan already had a way to deal with the Huns in his mind after learning about the tribes' premeditations.
