Just when Yingkan didn't know how long he had been waiting, and when the sky was getting dark, finally, Xiong Qi's figure appeared in the distance.
See this.
Yingkan finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up slowly, and walked to the yard.
"Why did you come back just now? Where are you?"
Ying Kan looked at Xiong Qi's hurried expression and frowned, and then took another look. There was not a Chu general behind Xiong Qi.
Doesn’t it mean that with letters from the noble clans, we can win over some Chu generals anyway?
Why didn't you tell me why you came back so late and you didn't see a single person?
"You asked me when I would come back!"
When Xiong Qi heard Ying Kan's question, he sighed and walked back and forth beside Ying Kan angrily. He finally stopped under Ying Kan's puzzled gaze.
"Do you know what happened today?"
When Xiong Qi said this, his face was also very ugly.
"What's the matter?"
Ying Kan looked puzzled and frowned. He didn't understand why Xiong Qi went out for a trip and suddenly became so angry when he came back. Could it be that he was in the Chu army's camp? How did Xiang Yan know that he was here?
That's impossible, he came with Xiong Qi, was very careful along the way, and never told others their names.
"Bai Yan..."
Xiong Qi looked at Ying Kan, raised his hand and pointed to the east.
"Bai Yan killed Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun, and brought Jing Qi's body, but Chang Wen Jun who came with him only had one head!"
Xiong Qi said.
When Ying Kan heard this, his pupils shrank, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Xiong Qi in shock.
At this moment, Yingkan only had one thought in his mind, whether Xiong Qi was lying to him.
Bai Yan killed Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun? And he also ordered people to send bodies and heads?
How can this be! ! !
"I tell you, Bai Yan also tied the bamboo slips to Lord Changwen's head. The bamboo slips were full of words mocking Lord Changping, all of them ridiculing Lord Changping for his disloyalty. At this time, Lord Changping had lost his mind and swore an oath in public. I must divide and cook Bai Yan with my own hands!"
Xiong Qi looked at Ying Kan's shocked expression, then put his hands on his hips and shook his head.
"Ying Kan, General Xiang Yan and Lord Changping have just ordered me to leave Suiyang City immediately tomorrow and return to Shouchun. I will select a day to mobilize 300,000 troops and use the power of the Chu State to encircle and destroy them before the spring plowing. Bai Yan!"
When Xiong Qi said this, his eyes flickered briefly.
Recruiting an army of 300,000 people is simply impossible with the current national strength of the Chu State. Lord Changping and General Xiang Yan just ordered 200,000 troops. As for why they wanted to talk to Yingkan about 300,000 troops, it was mainly to scare them. Ying Kan, otherwise if Ying Kan hears that Bai Yan killed Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun, he might return and not plan to negotiate peace with the Chu State, then Xiong Qi will really be drawing water from a bamboo basket.
At this moment, Xiong Qi was also full of complaints. He knew that Bai Yan could lead troops before, but he never thought that he could be so ferocious. When he was surrounded by the Chu army of Generals Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, not only was he not defeated, but he sent troops. After killing Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun, Xiong Qi had planned to delay the 100,000 reinforcements he had promised before, so that they could not be summoned by Xiang Yan. Now, not to mention Xiang Yan and Changping Jun, even Xiong Qi himself wanted to immediately Return to Shouchun, gather a large army as soon as possible and transfer it to Xiang Yan.
Otherwise, Bai Yanzhen might be able to break out of Chu at any time and return to Qin!
"Tomorrow, I, together with Xiang Liang, will hand over the letter from the general and Lord Changping to my father to recruit Chu troops from all over the Chu Kingdom. Ying Kan, if you still want Bai Yan to leave alive, let King Qin Ying Zheng, Think carefully about how to convince your father and Lord Changping! And if you don’t want to be caught by Lord Changping, leave Suiyang City immediately tonight during the night!”
Xiong Qi told Ying Kan.
After threatening Ying Kan, Xiong Qi naturally would not let Ying Kan die here in Suiyang City. Not to mention that if he was discovered by Changping Jun and Xiang Yan, he would actually be with Ying Kan just for the sake of the future. Now Xiong Qi wants to Save Ying Kan’s life.
In Xiong Qi's eyes, knowing that the Chu State was about to raise 300,000 troops and coming to General Xiang Yan, Ying Kan would eagerly return to the Qin State when he saw that Bai Yan could actually kill Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun. He discussed with King Yingzheng of Qin and the officials of the Qin Dynasty how to continue to rescue Bai Yan.
This is also the result that Xiong Qi hopes to see most. Otherwise, Xiong Qi doesn't know what he can do. Looking at the current situation, there are only three results. One is that General Xiang Yan will destroy Bai Yan and this Qin army. , then Xiong Qi will not only have no merit, but will also become a laughing stock, which Xiong Qi absolutely cannot accept.
The second is that Bai Yan escaped from the siege and left Chu Di alive. This was a result that Xiong Qi didn't want to see, but he could accept it. After all, Bai Yan had a grudge against him, so he let Bai Yan leave for no reason. Qi was not willing to give in, but when he thought about Bai Yan leaving, Xiang Yan had not made any great achievements. Seeing Xiang Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops, the people of the Chu State were helpless because Bai Yan could do nothing. He, a young master, could also stand down, so for him, Xiong Qi could barely accept this result.
The most ideal thing is the third one, that is, the Qin State does not dare to gamble with Bai Yan's life, especially after knowing that the Chu State is going to encircle and destroy Bai Yan, and will not hesitate to use the power of the whole country, the Qin State agrees to spend more The price was to convince more nobles in Chu State.
Only the third option could allow his father and Lord Changping to let Bai Yan go due to the opposition of the Chu State and the public.
"Thank you, Master! If you win Kan, you will leave tonight!"
Ying Kan came back to his senses, looked at Xiong Qi in front of him, and cupped his hands.
Looking at Xiong Qi's dissatisfied look at this moment, Ying Kan also vaguely felt that Xiong Qi did not seem to be deceiving him.
Thinking of this, Ying Kan said that although he had calmed down, the shock in his heart was still difficult to calm down.
Bai Yan not only beheaded Lord Chang Wen who betrayed Ying Zheng, but also got rid of King Chu's confidant Jing Qi!
This incident was so shocking that Ying Kan, who had never expected this incident, found it difficult to calm down his shock and calm down. Ying Kan could not imagine that if this incident spread to Xianyang, What will happen?
After all, Chang Wenjun was the culprit behind the betrayal of Qin and the murder of Li Xin and 200,000 Qin soldiers.
Thinking back to the time when Lord Chang Wen betrayed the Qin State, how long has it passed? Bai Yan, who had worried countless people such as Ying Zheng, Feng Quji, and Bai Yu, ended up being besieged by the Chu army. Not only did Bai Yan not die at the hands of Lord Chang Wen Instead, he killed Lord Changwen and sent Lord Changwen's head to the Chu army and handed it over to Lord Changping...
"Young Master, Ying Kan kindly asks you to give Ying Kan more time. Ying Kan will definitely persuade our king and the ministers of the Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Kan thought for a while, then raised his hands to Xiong Qi and said.
How could Ying Kan not know about Xiong Qi's thoughts? The more valuable one is, the more unscrupulous he is, and the more he has, the harder it is to let go.
This Chu victory will make countless Chu people happy, but Xiong Qi will not. This alone is enough to make Ying Kan firmly believe that Xiong Qi will never really recruit 300,000 Chu troops to help Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan and Lord Changping get rid of Bai Yan.
Not to mention that the Chu State might not be able to handle such a large army at this time, even if Xiong Qi sent troops to Xiang Yan, he would do so in installments, with a maximum of 30,000 to 50,000 troops at a time.
"Don't worry, young master, when Yingkan sees the young master next time, Dingtao will hand it over to the young master!"
Ying Kan looked at Xiong Qi who was silent and seemed to be impatient, so he said softly.
If Bai Yan really gets rid of Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun, then this matter will be of great significance to the Qin State. Ying Kan is not stupid. He knows clearly that neither he, Ying Zheng, nor even the civil and military officials of the Qin State know about Bai Yan. Even though Yan was good at leading troops, he still underestimated Bai Yan's talents.
Perhaps in the battle between Qin and Chu, Bai Yan still fights the Chu army in the east of Chu, and the situation will exceed everyone's expectations.
Thinking of this, at this critical moment, Ying Kan also knew what was more important, so he directly promised Xiong Qi without hesitation. As long as Xiong Qi agreed to delay the recruitment for a while, he would meet again next time to Dingtao and Qin. The country will be handed over, and the entire Dingtao will belong to Xiong Qi alone.
"Okay! This young master promised to win, sir, and I hope to win you, sir. Don't break your promise!"
Xiong Qi was surprised when he heard Ying Kan's words, and then nodded seriously.
He didn't want Bai Yan to die in Xiang Yan's hands. Now that Ying Kan was so generous, Xiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief and Ding Tao. Now Xiong Qi doesn't dare to take over this place by himself anymore. The Qin State can be so generous, which makes Xiong Qi sigh. Qi is more confident.
Under night.
In the streets of Suiyang City, under the inspection of rows of Chu soldiers holding long swords, a carriage drove slowly in the street and passed by the patrolling Chu soldiers.
Ying Kan knelt down in the carriage, stretched out his hand to open the window, and looked at the Suiyang City outside the night. He looked at the soldiers of the Chu State standing guard among the clusters of torches on the high city wall. As he approached the city gate, the white silk hanging around him clearly caught Ying Kan's eyes.
"I didn't expect that Lord Changwen would actually die in Bai Yan's hands!"
Ying Kan was in the dark carriage, feeling the bumps of the carriage, with a look of emotion on his face.
I recall that the betrayal of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen was sent to the Qin court. After Ying Zheng learned about it, he was so angry that he even fainted. When Ying Zheng learned that Bai Yan had killed Lord Chang Wen with his own hands, he would definitely kill him ruthlessly. Exhale your anger.
"Get out!"
The general of the Chu army who was guarding the city gate saw the wooden sign handed over by the horse driver. After reading it, he asked his soldiers to open the city gate and let the carriage leave.
Ying Kan was in the carriage and lowered the curtain.
Ying Kan closed his eyes and was already thinking about what kind of impact Bai Yansheng would have on Qin and the entire situation between Qin and Chu.
Unfortunately, in the evening, no matter how he asked, Xiong Qi did not tell him whether Xiang Yan decided to send troops to continue attacking the Qin army after the grain and grass arrived.
the other side.
Under the same night, in the distant city of Qufu.
"Sir, my subordinates sent people to investigate. Everyone has been killed, and no one is alive!"
In the room, Yao Jia stood in front of the window with a frown on his face after hearing the subordinate's report.
They were all killed! There were so many people, but no one was left alive. For someone in Qi who could do this, a title appeared in Yao Jia's mind involuntarily.
"Qi Martial Arts!!!"
Yao Jia had no choice but to sigh unwillingly. He thought that in Linzi, Qi, he finally took advantage of the opportunity to drive Tian Ding out of the Qi court. It would be impossible for Tian Ding to return to the Qi court for at least three to five years.
Unexpectedly, even if Tian Ding was not in Qi's court, he could still be his spy in Qi's court, and he was helpless.
"Sir, do you still want to send someone to investigate?"
The servant stood behind Yao Jia, looked at Yao Jia, and asked softly.
"No need, with Qi Martial Arts here, no matter how many people there are, we can only die! Send someone to keep an eye on Linzi City. If the Zhan family returns, send someone the news immediately!"
When Yao Jia said this, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the retinue.
"I heard that Zhan Zhao has been away from home for a long time, traveling around the world just to find a teacher, and Zhan Zhao's wife was once the wife of a villager. Zhan Zhao was fond of women and wandered around restaurants, and he hasn't seen her for years. Maybe it can be traced from this. His wife took action and ordered people to go to Linzi to find the villager. After buying him, he gave him a large sum of money and arranged to enter the Zhan family's mansion to meet Zhan Zhao's wife to find out the news!"
Yao Jia sighed and ordered.
After traveling around various countries for the Qin State for many years, Yao Jia was already accustomed to some shady methods, whether it was bribery or alienation. Therefore, after learning the news about the Zhan family, Yao Jia was keenly aware of the origin of the Zhan family's wife. Always keep it in mind.
At the moment, Yao Jia didn't know if he could find out any useful information from Zhan Zhao's wife, but facing Qi Martial Arts, Yao Jia had no choice but to use this method.
"promise!"
After hearing this, the subordinates quickly took the order and left.
Yao Jia looked at the retreating figure of his subordinates, with some melancholy in his brows, and turned to look out the window.
After staying in Qi for so long, someone has already found the old man, but at this time, Qin lost the battle with Chu. First, Li Xin was defeated, and then Wang Ben withdrew his troops. As a result, Bai Yan was besieged by the Chu army in the east of Chu. The king could not He refused to negotiate peace with the Chu State, and was worried that it would be difficult for Ying Kan to persuade the Chu State alone, so he wrote a special letter ordering him to sneak into the Chu State.
"Your Majesty, if that old man is used by Qi State, I don't know whether it will be good or bad for Qin State!"
Yao Jia was a little worried.
In Qi State, Yao Jia also found some fragments of bamboo slips. Naturally, he knew that the old man's talent and learning were by no means ordinary. If he was really a capable minister of the country, this would be a huge loss to Qin State.
What is even more unpredictable is whether the old man will secretly come up with some idea of forcing Qi to persuade the King of Qi to ally with Chu and deal with Qin together.
"Forget it! If you can bribe Zhan Zhao's wife, you won't have to worry about not getting news about the old man in the future. The most urgent task now is to rescue Bai Yan first!"
Yao Jia sighed.
Regarding Bai Yan, Yao Jiayou couldn't believe his ears when he learned that Bai Yan was driven out of Qi by Tian Ding.
"Um?"
Yao Jia just turned around and was about to take a rest when suddenly the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. Then a man hurriedly came to the study, walked up to Yao Jia, and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Yao Jia.
"Sir, there is news from Zhongwu City!"
The man said to Yao Jia.
Yao Jia was a little confused when he heard the news from Zhongwu City, so he picked up the bamboo slips and opened them to read.
Two breaths later, when he saw the contents, Yao Jia's face changed drastically and he looked shocked.
"impossible!!!"
Yao Jia said with a look of astonishment. After reading the bamboo slips, he looked at it again in disbelief. Only then was he sure that he had seen it correctly and was not dazzled.
Lord Chang Wen and King Chu's confidant Jing Qi were all killed by Bai Yan! ! !
In the northern part of Chu, the Chu army suffered countless casualties!
……………………
Zhongwu City.
Standing on the top of the city, feeling the cold wind, Bai Yan watched a steady stream of Qin soldiers entering the city from outside.
"General! The morale of this Qin army is at its peak. It would be a pity to let them evacuate at this time!"
Yang Yan looked at the Qin army outside the city and couldn't help but said to Bai Yan.
To be honest, the longer Yang Yan followed Bai Yan, the more he admired Bai Yan. Let alone anyone else, even if it were him, he would never abandon this Qin army with high morale. You must know that one point of morale is worth one point. What a chance of winning!
"What's the pity? This army is in Wei. Could it be that Chu is not worried and doesn't send people to defend it?"
Bai Yan heard Yang Yan's words and explained with a smile.
When Yanmao, Huipu, Zhang Min and others heard this, they all nodded when they looked at Bai Yan. It was indeed true. It was impossible for Chu State not to send troops to defend.
"That's true!"
Yang Yan also agreed.
"General!"
A scout soldier hurriedly took a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Bai Yan.
Yang Yan looked at the steady stream of Qin troops outside the city, and then looked at Bai Yan's side face.
What the Qin army looked like at the head of the city back then, not to mention Yang Yan, all the generals and generals have seen it. In the past, Bai Yan actually commanded this Qin army and resisted the entire Chu army outside Suiyang City. It's enough to amaze everyone.
But now, when they saw the momentum of the Qin army in front of them, Yang Yan and the others, without exception, were secretly surprised and full of doubts. The Qin army they saw in front of them was really composed of the Wei people they had seen before. Surrender?
“Although it’s not my intention, it’s okay to resign!”
Bai Yan held the bamboo slips and looked at the fact that he was driven out of Qi State by Tian Ding in the past. Now it was spread in Linzi, Qi State, so that countless people scolded Tian Ding for being a traitor and villain because of his incident, and even forced him to After winning the title of King of Qi, Tian Ding had to be dismissed from his official post.
Bai Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He might have complained at first, dissatisfied with Tian Ding's domineering attitude, but he thought that even without Tian Ding, he would have planned to leave Qi from the beginning. In addition, because of this incident, Tian Feiyan helped him take care of his family. This made the only complaint against Tian Ding disappear, let alone being on the battlefield for a long time. These things are completely insignificant compared to life and death on the battlefield.
Now that he saw so many people in Qi State scolding Tian Ding because of his own affairs, Bai Yan also smiled bitterly. This was definitely not his intention.
"General, what's the matter?"
When Yang Yan and others heard Bai Yan's words, they were a little curious, what about resignation?
Bai Yan heard the words, thought about it, and handed the bamboo slips to Yang Yan and others. After all, it would not take long for this matter to spread, and Yang Yan and others would also know about it.
"ah!!!!"
"What? The general was driven out of Qi by Tian Ding???"
"How can this be!!!"
After taking the bamboo slips, without exception, whether it was Yang Yan, Yanmao, Huipu and others, they were all stunned. They looked at Bai Yan in front of them in disbelief, and everyone looked at each other.
Bai Yan, Bai Yan in front of them.
This general who had just led them to break through the siege of the Chu army and kill Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun was actually driven out of Qi by Tian Ding... and his servants!
Where to write about Yao Jia, there will be an "old man riding a bull" in Qi State in the future. Qin State doesn't know it yet, and Ying Zheng doesn't know it either. The Bai Yan he chose is the real person who wrote the book.
