There is no city of goodness.
Just when everyone in the governor's mansion was restless and worried about the Xiongnu going south, a Qin official hurried into the courtyard and then came to the study.
"Sheriff, Sheriff!"
Qin Li gasped and quickly came to Yang Duanhe.
"What's the matter?"
In the study room, Yang Duanhe frowned and asked when he saw Li Qin's appearance.
In the study, apart from the worried Gan Si and the frightened Mi Jing, the city commanders of other cities near Shanwu City learned that the Huns were preparing to go south and were about to attack Yanmen. After Yang Duanhe's edict, Next, everyone has arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion.
At this time, seeing the appearance of the Qin official, not to mention Yang Duanhe had a bad premonition, even these city officials couldn't help but feel worried and looked at each other with worried eyes.
Could it be that the Huns are about to attack Shanwu City?
"The Sheriff, they were defeated. The Xiongnu were defeated. In the Yunzhong Mountains, the Xiongnu were led by the Sheriff to ride on the side. They were defeated in the Yunzhong Valley Road. The Xiongnu left 26,000 corpses and fled back to the north!"
The Qin official swallowed, cupped his hands and said, then took out the bamboo slips sent by Wo Yang from his arms and handed them to the governor Yang Duanhe.
The words fell.
In an instant, everyone in the study room stared at the Qin official with wide eyes and disbelief.
"What? The Huns were defeated?"
"How is this possible? The commander-in-chief, General Bai, has clearly ordered half of his troops to go south. How can the troops from Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng alone defeat the Xiongnu army?"
"Yes, how is this possible! Do you know the details?"
One by one, the city officials looked at the Qin officials with suspicious faces and asked eagerly.
Regarding Qin Li's words, without exception, almost everyone still looked suspiciously, even Mi Jing was no exception.
You know, just a dozen breaths ago, all of them here were frightened because they heard the news that the Huns were going south. In the blink of an eye, they were told that the Huns had indeed gone south, but they would die just as far as the Yunzhong Mountains. They killed more than 26,000 people and fled back to the northern grasslands.
this……
How dare people believe this.
Among the crowd, only Gan Si was the first to think of Peng Yi, but then he frowned and shook his head slightly.
In the past two days, Peng Yi also went to Gan Si to inquire. After Peng Yi learned that the Huns were going south from the Yunzhong Mountains, and that Bai Yan was returning with his cavalry, he ordered people to send news to the Yunzhong Mountains. Although the news before and after was intercepted by Bai Yan, counting the time, even after Bai Yan learned the news, it was already too late.
unless.
Unless Bai Yan guessed from the beginning where the Huns were going south from the Yunzhong Mountains, if so, it would just explain what had puzzled him for the past two days, which was how Bai Yan intercepted the message.
But in this case, there is no explanation for Bianqi. The Bianqi army was indeed stationed in Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng. After the Huns gave up attacking these two places, half of the Bianqi troops had indeed gone south.
How to explain this!
Or... this news sent by the Qin officials is false!
With doubtful eyes, Gan Si looked at the Qin official in front of him, but at this moment, Yang Duanhe, who was looking at the bamboo slips, suddenly spoke.
"Someone is coming!!"
Yang Duanhe said.
Outside the study, a Qin official waiting outside heard Bai Yan's voice and entered the study. He came to the Qin official just now and faced Yang Duan and Ji Li.
"grown ups!"
The Qin official looked at Yang Duanhe, waiting for orders.
Then, in the eyes of Gan Si, Mi Jing, and other city magistrates, Yang Duanhe looked at the Qin official.
"Order someone to send this bamboo slip to Yishui overnight and tell General Wang Jian that the crisis in Yanmen has been resolved! No need to mobilize troops to rescue!"
Yang Duanhe ordered.
"promise!"
Official Qin stepped forward, carefully took Yang Duan and the bamboo slips in his hand, took a few steps back, turned and left the study.
In the study room.
Everyone looked at Yang Duanhe curiously, with expressions of puzzlement and confusion, not sure what was going on.
Could it be that the Xiongnu were really defeated in the Yunzhong Mountains by the military commander Bai Yan.
"Sheriff, what happened?"
A city magistrate in his thirties couldn't help but be curious. After Qin Li left, he looked at Yang Duanhe and asked.
When Yang Duanhe heard this, he glanced at the curious expressions on everyone's faces and shook his head.
“Not only the Huns were deceived by Bai Yan!”
While Yang Duanhe was talking, he turned his head and looked at the Yanmen map hanging behind him, looking straight at the Woyang area.
"Even all of us are no exception and have been deceived by Bai Yan's methods!"
Yang Duanhe said with emotion.
"Cheated?"
After hearing Yang Duanhe's words, Mi Jing and Gan Si looked at each other in confusion. Mi Jing looked at Yang Duanhe.
"Mr. Yang, what do you mean by this?"
Mi Jing asked, wanting to know why Mr. Yang said that Bai Yan not only deceived the Huns, but also deceived them all. What does this mean?
Mi Jing's question brought out everyone's thoughts, and everyone looked at Yang Duanhe.
In the quiet study room.
The elderly Yang Duanhe turned around and looked at everyone.
"The side riding in Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng before was actually not a side riding at all, but the people of Woyang in disguise!"
Yang Duanhe shook his head and said softly.
A few words.
The already very quiet study fell completely silent. Whether it was Mi Jing or Gan Si, even the other city commanders, one after another, stared at Yang Duanhe in shock.
What did they hear just now?
The side riders who rode in Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng before were all... the people of Woyang? ? ?
············
In Shanwu City, in a rather large mansion.
"What? Those side riders are all Woyang people? Are the real side riders always in Woyang?"
When Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang heard Mi Jing's words, they stood up in shock, looked at each other, and then looked at Mi Jing.
"Yes! That Bai Yan is really a descendant of the famous Bai family! After Bai Qi!"
Mi Jing nodded and asked himself, putting aside the Chu bloodline in his body that was incompatible with the Bai family, after learning the details from Mr. Yang an hour ago, he was not surprised by Bai Yan's plan.
Thinking back to Bai Yan's amazing deeds before, it was the battle at Jingxing where he truly deserved his fame after he became famous all over the world. The famous last stand also required courage and strategy to finally defeat the enemy.
During the battle at Jingxing, Bai Yan felt as if he was gambling with his own life and the lives of all the soldiers in the army. Most people in the world, or even the entire world, felt this way.
However, her father had a relationship with General Feng Jie. How did Mi Jing know from her father? It seemed that behind the bet, Bai Yan made extremely detailed arrangements for every detail.
It seems simple, but what lies behind a last-ditch battle is far from being as simple as just another deadly battle in the eyes of the world.
Now, after witnessing the battle between Bai Yan and the Xiongnu, Mi Jing could not help but sigh. As a descendant of the Bai family, Bai Yan really did not disgrace the reputation of the Bai family.
inside the room.
After a long time, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang finally recovered from the shock. Jing Qi frowned slightly and looked at Mi Jing.
"But didn't Bai Yan say it himself before? It is speculated that the person the Xiongnu army wants to attack is probably Yishui!"
Jing Qi remembered the time when he went to the Bianqi camp to meet Bai Yan.
You know, it was speculated that the Xiongnu might want to attack Yishui. This was said by the Qin general Bai Yan himself. When they learned that there were 40,000 Xiongnu troops stationed north of Yishui, they felt pressure from Bai Yan.
They are so keen on the battlefield situation, which really makes them feel heavy in their hearts when they think about possible opponents in the future, which makes people have some breathing disorder.
Later, when they learned that Bai Yan's guess was wrong, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bai Yan was not right in everything. They also felt that leading the Chu army to kill Bai Yan on the battlefield was not as difficult as they imagined.
The result was not even two days old.
Suddenly he told them that Bai Yan had led the side cavalry to defeat the Xiongnu army in the Yunzhong Mountains. Not only did tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops flee north, but they also left more than 26,000 Xiongnu corpses in the Yunzhong Mountains.
How unbearable this is! ! ! !
A worry that was beyond before, even unprecedented, permeated my heart.
Apart from worries, it is really puzzling to think about Bai Yan's words at this time. Obviously Bai Yan told them personally, there is no reason why Bai Yan would deceive them in front of them.
Afraid they'll leak the news? That's not necessary. You must know that Mi Jing is the censor of Yanmen, one of the three major officials in a county, and the son of Lord Chang Wen. There is absolutely no way he can escape back to Qin. Although the two of them were afraid of the Xiongnu army arriving at Shanwu before, outside the city, but he also considered seeing if he could save Mi Jing at the critical moment, so he didn't leave.
Therefore, Bai Yan had no reason to deceive them.
In front of wooden table.
Mi Jing heard Jing Qi's question and thought about it.
"If my guess is correct, even Bai Yan should not have known about it when he told us. After all, Mr. Yang had just received the news about this matter. What's more, when we went to the border riding camp, the camp The soldiers inside are all side riders, not Woyang people. This is what we have seen with our own eyes. Looking back on what Bai Yan said at that time, Bai Yan should have realized something was wrong only after he went to Yanmen Mountain or Pingcheng! "
Mi Jing looked at Jing Qi and explained, expressing his guess.
Regarding what Bai Yan said at the beginning, Mi Jing did not doubt that Bai Yan was hiding it from him. After all, when he met Bai Yan in the camp that day, Bai Yan's expression of closeness was not a lie, not to mention that even Mr. Yang had just found out. What happened.
inside the room.
Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang heard Mi Jing's words, thought about it, and nodded.
In retrospect, that's true.
Don't dwell on Bai Yan's previous speculation in the camp.
"If the Huns are defeated again, I'm afraid they won't have the intention to go south again in a short period of time!"
Zhao Wushang lowered his head and pondered, analyzing softly, and then glanced at Jing Qi.
In the Yunzhong Mountains, twenty-six thousand people died! More than a year ago, the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi jointly went south, and were burned and killed by Bai Yan. At that time, the Xiongnu suffered many casualties. When the Yuezhi left later, they killed nearly 10,000 Xiongnu.
After that, the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu fought one after another, resulting in constant casualties.
Now, they met Bai Yan again, and more than 26,000 people were killed by Bai Yan's troops again. With the strength of the Xiongnu, I am afraid that they will not dare to go south to plunder again in a short time.
Once there are no worries north of Yanmen, for the Qin State, it is not just as simple as having an extra army. Whether it is the Zhao Bianqi of the Zhao State or the Bai family's iron cavalry who have been following the Bai family, they will all The best of the best.
What makes people even more worried from the bottom of their hearts is that these two elite groups are all led by Bai Yan, and they are loyal to Bai Yan to the death.
Bai Yan's ability to lead troops can now be seen with his own eyes.
If Chu and Qin really had a battle, not to mention the younger generation of Chu generals, even among the other veteran generals of Chu, only General Xiang Yan would be able to suppress Bai Yan.
However, in Qin's country, apart from Bai Yan, there was also a Qin general, Wang Jian.
"In the battle at Yunzhong Mountains, more than 26,000 Huns were beheaded. When Bai Yan returns, Yang Duanhe will definitely report this news to Xianyang."
Jing Qi naturally heard Zhao Wushang's worries, but it was useless to say anything at the moment. As long as the news was sent to Xianyang, they would get it, and Ying Zheng would also get it. This matter was destined to be irreversible.
"Zizhen, do you ever know when Bai Yan will return?"
Jing Qi looked at Mi Jing.
At this moment, Mi Jing didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy. The news of the Xiongnu army's attack on Yanmen made Mi Jing sleepless and frightened for the past few days. He was afraid that Shanwu City would be surrounded by the Xiongnu. However, now The crisis of the Xiongnu raid on Yanmen has been resolved, but seeing Bai Yan making great achievements again, she felt a little uncomfortable. After hearing Jing Qi's words, Mi Jing raised his head.
"I heard from Mr. Yang that it will take two days to return. Bai Yan is in Yancheng now. I heard that a general died in the Yunzhong Valley Road."
Mi Jing told Jing Qi what he knew.
Following Mi Jing's words, Jing Qi thought for a moment and then looked at Mi Jing.
"The crisis in Yanmen has been resolved, but we will not return to the Chu Kingdom for the next two days. After Bai Yan returns, while we are getting along with Bai Yan, we will also take the opportunity to find out more about the situation of the Xiongnu. Son, you will order someone immediately. Inform Lord Changwen of the news here, and hope that Bai Yan will be eliminated!"
Jing Qi said softly.
When Mi Jing heard Jing Qi's words, Mi Jing understood the last sentence very well. Even if Jing Qi didn't say anything, he and his father would wait for the opportunity. However, when he heard Jing Qi say that he wanted to stay in Yanmen, Mi Jing couldn't help but sigh. With a puzzled face, he saluted Jing Qi.
"It will take at least a month to send letters to my father. The King of Chu passed away from illness. If you two stay in Yanmen for too long, wouldn't it mean that in the Chu Kingdom, you will lose two helpers?"
Mi Jing asked worriedly.
The reason why Mi Jing didn't object when he heard that Jing Qi and Zhao Wu Shang were staying was because there was danger in Shanwu City. He felt that maybe Jing Qi and Zhao Wu Shang were still there. Even after the city was destroyed, the two of them could save him. Life.
At present, the crisis here in Yanmen has been resolved, and Mi Jing also knows the importance, and understands where in the Chu Kingdom is the key moment to fight for the King of Chu. The absence of two confidants, Jing Qi and Zhao Guanshang, is not only a big deal for Xiong Fuchu. It's as light as two less helpers.
"Yes! If we were not in Chu State, I'm afraid Li Yuan, the Queen Mother and others..."
In the study room, Zhao Wushang frowned when he heard Mi Jing's words and looked at Jing Qi aside.
Zhao Wushang was also a little worried about the situation in the Chu State. The two of them had actually stayed here in the Yamen for too long. If they didn't return to the Chu State earlier, they might not have enough help in the Chu State to deal with the situation.
"We can't control that much right now. Bai Yan poses a far greater threat to Chu State than Xiong You!"
Jing Qi shook his head.
In Jing Qi's eyes, he didn't want to come up with a solution to Bai Yan. Bai Yan's threat here was far greater than anywhere else in Chu. Even if Xiong Fuchu succeeded to the throne of Chu, he would not be able to sleep well.
As for whether there will be any changes if he doesn't return to Chu State!
Thinking of this, Jing Qi's breathing quickened and his eyes hardened.
"If Li Yuan dares to unite with the Queen Mother and support Xiong You to succeed as King of Chu, we..."
Jing Qi turned his head and looked at Zhao Wushang, with a slightly ruthless expression on his face.
"Kill him!!!"
Jing Qi said.
In Jing Qi's eyes, he had been waiting for this day for a long, long time. Now King Chu You is not easy to die. This time, the new King of Chu can only bear cud. Others dare to sit on the throne of Chu King. He Jing Qi just said, whoever sits down will die!
inside the room.
When Mi Jing and Zhao Wushang heard Jing Qi's words and looked at Jing Qi's appearance, they couldn't help but feel guilty and looked at each other.
Kill the King of Chu and the Queen Mother! !
This is probably not the courage of ordinary people, but they also know that Jing Qi is the kind of person who will do what he says.
Since Jing Qi said he dared to kill King Chu, he really dared to kill him.
Think of this.
Among Mi Jing and Zhao Wushang, Mi Jing could not help but have a flash of guilt in his eyes. Worried about being seen, he quickly lowered his head slightly. The reason was that Mi Jing knew in his heart that although his father and uncle nominally supported Xiong Neguci. He succeeded to the throne, but secretly, his uncle also wanted to return to the Chu Kingdom and become the King of Chu, and he had made an agreement with the Xiang family.
It's a pity that the uncle has never been able to get rid of the Bai family.
But speaking of it, after this incident, Mi Jing felt that if his uncle really wanted to be the King of Chu in the future, then his father and uncle would have to find a way to get rid of Jing Qi in front of him no matter what.
Don't talk about him before, I'm afraid even my father and uncle didn't expect that Jing Qi was so ruthless that even the King of Chu and the Queen Mother of Chu had the guts to get rid of him.
When Mi Jing was talking with Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang.
Yanmen Shanwu City.
Under Yang Duanhe's arrangement, the news of the Xiongnu's defeat quickly spread throughout the streets, alleys, restaurants, and tea shops. After hearing the news of the Xiongnu's defeat, the once-frightened common people all smiled as if they had survived the disaster.
And in Bai Yan's huge mansion.
As a commoner man hurriedly passed by the yard holding a roll of bamboo slips, Bao Shi, who was with Zhao Qiu in the pavilion not far away, did not notice.
Zhao Qiu sat sideways by the pavilion, looking at the mansion that was well taken care of by the Bao family. Even the once dry pool became clear, with fish swimming in it.
Seeing the man passing by the yard and heading towards Mr. Wei's study, Zhao Qiupei curled his lips and took one look without looking again.
Although she had told Bai Yan about the Xiongnu, she also understood that it was not that simple for Bai Yan to deal with such a huge number of Xiongnu. She had heard that Bai Yan had divided his troops and went south to stay in Yanmen Mountain. She also didn't know that Bai Yan What are you planning?
"You haven't fulfilled what you promised me, so you can't die in the hands of the Huns!"
Zhao Qiu looked at the fish in the pool with a hint of anger in his eyes and murmured in his heart.
Perhaps it was because Bai Yan had not yet fulfilled what he promised her. Thinking of the Xiongnu army going south and Bai Yan leading the troops to fight, Zhao Qiu felt a little worried for the first time.
It's Bai Yan's worry alone.
