Qin Gong

Chapter 522 The passive Lord Changping offers advice: the theory of fake tripod

"General, the prime minister has sent an envoy to Daliang City."

In the camp, as Yan Mao came to report, Bai Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the trembling uncle curled up together.

Mr. Changping came here to win over the dignitaries of the gentry in Daliang City. Although the State of Wei is small, there are far more famous gentry families and great Confucian scholars than the ten Qin States combined. This is not an exaggeration. Qin State Since Shang Yang, farming warfare has been practiced, and fighting is immediate.

Although it has been repaired a lot since the time of King Qin Huiwen, and after being rewarded and reused by the acting king of Qin and the famous prime minister Lu Buwei, the situation has been much better, but it is still far behind Qi and Wei, which have hundreds of years of experience. It is far inferior to Qin State in terms of scribes. It is not an exaggeration to say that even Chu State is worse than Qin State.

This has a very close relationship with national policies and laws and clan inheritance.

After all, scholars in this period have to rely on the gentry, not the great Confucians of later generations, all of them are poor and poor.

Apparently, Lord Changping also came here to win over the famous families in Daliang City.

In the eyes of outsiders.

Lord Changping is the right prime minister of the Qin State, so he should naturally be the Qin State and accept the celebrities and powerful families in Daliang City.

But if, like Bai Yan, he knew that Lord Changping had always been in collusion with the state of Chu, and later generations would directly lead the army to rebel behind the scenes when Qin State attacked Chu State, then Lord Changping's actions now seem a bit intriguing.

"Yan Mao, now in the army, do all the soldiers know that I, Bai Yan, am from Qi?"

Bai Yan looked at the trembling uncle and asked.

Lord Changping sent people to the city to win over the famous people of Wei. Bai Yan could not stop him no matter how many reasons he had. After all, Lord Changping was the right prime minister. In the eyes of everyone, all the actions of Lord Changping were for the sake of Qin. He If Bai Yan uses methods in private, once Mr. Changping or others find out, he won't get any benefit.

If it were any Qin general, even if Wang Jian knew the purpose of Lord Changping, he would not be able to stop him and could only watch helplessly.

But rather.

Bai Yan is from Qi!

Unlike Mr. Changping, Mr. Changping is the uncle of Yingzheng, but he, Bai Yan, is from Qi. In addition, before this, he blocked the mouth of the canal, wrote to Xianyang to ask for grain, and he also contacted the family of the corpse. Letters, these are all shortcomings that can't be made up for as long as Lord Changping doesn't say that he rebelled against Qin.

"All the soldiers know! Don't worry, general, all the soldiers have no second thoughts about Bai Yan!"

Listening to Bai Yan's question, Yan Mao didn't want to understand, thinking that Bai Yan was worried about rumors in the army, so he hurriedly handed over the report.

Bai Yan turned his head and glanced at Yan Mao.

Yan Mao's face with conspicuous scars was at a loss for Bai Yan's eyes. Seeing that Bai Yan didn't speak, he looked at himself strangely, making sure that there was nothing weird about him. Why is Yan looking at him like this.

Mang at the side looked at Yan Mao, and then looked at Bai Yan inexplicably.

"General, hey, old man, there is nothing you can do!"

The old doctor beside the uncle stood up exhausted, shook his head, and said to Bai Yan.

Immediately afterwards, the other two old doctors also looked at each other, sighed, then got up, saluted Bai Yan silently.

"As a relative of the general, I am afraid that this time it will depend on destiny!"

The old doctor said to Bai Yan.

In the tent, Mang and Yan Mao were startled when they heard the old doctor's words, and they all looked at the uncle lying on the couch with worried faces.

"Can"

"Then what should I do?"

Yan Mao and Mang wanted to say something, but before they could say it, Bai Yan sighed.

"Thanks to the three elders!"

Bai Yanman bowed his hands to the three of them gratefully, and turned to look at Mang after the salute.

"Go and give thirty gold to the three elders. During this period of time, the three will work tirelessly to treat my uncle."

Bai Yan ordered.

"promise!"

Hearing the words, Meng hurriedly clapped his hands in response, then looked at his uncle, and then at the three old doctors.

"The general can't do it!"

"General, how can you do this!!"

The three gray-haired old doctors were startled when they heard Bai Yan's words, and hurriedly said that in their eyes, they didn't save the general's relatives, and the general didn't blame them, so they were extremely thankful. How can I still take the general's bounty.

"Don't worry, the three elders. This is a gift of gratitude from Bai Yan, and there is no other intention. Wei Guo is in chaos, and the three elders need to live safely. No matter where they go, they have no money, and it will be very inconvenient."

After Bai Yan said this, he showed a face of shame, and saluted the three of them.

"If the three elders leave in a hurry, Bai Yan will arrange a carriage to see them off today. If they don't leave in a hurry, Bai Yan also wants to beg the elders to stay for a few more days. This time, Bai Yan was ordered to lead the army and lead the Qin army to attack Daliang, later acted against nature and dug canals to release water, which ultimately caused misfortune to the people in the city. After the flood, there will be diseases and shortages, and there will be no good treatment for the elderly. Bai Yan is worried!"

Bai Yan said slowly, in this sentence, Bai Yan specifically said that he was ordered to attack Daliang this time, this attack is not the same meaning as he ordered to dig a canal later.

"Don't worry, general! We will definitely stay."

The three old doctors with gray hair looked at each other, nodded, then looked at Bai Yan and cupped their hands.

As for Bai Yan, anyone from Wei will feel complicated towards Bai Yan. It is impossible to say that he is not angry. channels.

However, when it comes to resentment, when the two countries are at war, how many generals have cared about the life and death of the people since ancient times? Before that, Bai Yan not only gave Daliang a chance to let the people leave when the canal was dug, but even after the canal was dug, he even sent bloodlines As an envoy, I personally went to Daliang City to persuade him to surrender. As a result, King Wei not only cut off Bai Yan's uncle's hands and feet, but even humiliated him with dog dung. Faced with such a thing, Bai Yan did not even anger the people in Daliang City. The people, when the rainstorm came, they even ordered the soldiers to block the canals.

"It's work!"

Bai Yan saluted the three doctors gratefully, and then asked Mang to take the three doctors down to rest.

"How to give back the gold"

Yanmao watched the three old doctors bow to Bai Yanji and then leave the camp with Zhang, and murmured in a voice that could only be heard by himself.

Yan Mao didn't understand what his general did. The first was the bounty, and the second was good words. In Yan Mao's eyes, no one could be saved. He should directly threaten the three of them, and let the three of them rack their brains. Figure out a way to save people.

"General!"

After Yan Mao watched Mang leave, seeing Bai Yan looking directly at him, Yan Mao immediately looked at himself again to see if there was anything wrong.

"Yan Mao, in the future you must not enter the court of the Qin State, even if you are transferred to any side of the frontier. Remember!"

Bai Yan asked, this is not an order, but Bai Yan's instruction to Yan Mao.

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands, and the three old men are all doctors. The people of Wei State may not listen to everyone's words, but from ancient times to the present, the people will instinctively trust the words of doctors. This is an eternal truth. Reason, Yan Mao doesn't understand these Bai Yan can understand, after all, this is the way of the world, official position and power are the first choice for everyone to solve any solution.

But if he doesn't even know how to buy people's hearts, then he is really not suitable to go to the Qin Dynasty. Facing the disputes among the factions and colleagues in the Qin Dynasty, Yan Mao's temperament is too straightforward, and it is difficult to end well.

"Hey, general, Yan Mao is not going anywhere, and will follow the general in the future!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Yan Mao said with a naive smile, the scar didn't seem to penetrate at all, but it made people want to laugh.

Bai Yan glanced at Yanmao, said nothing, but turned to the uncle's side.

Looking at the uncle who had stopped eating and drinking, started to vomit, was very afraid of light, and had a fever, Bai Yan knew that the uncle must be suffering from canine disease after being bitten by Wei's fake dog.

"Uncle!"

Bai Yan looked at his uncle who was full of pain and even his moans had changed. No matter how many injustices he had felt, they had all dissipated at this moment. What was more in his mind was that he didn't know if his father would feel uncomfortable if he knew about this in the future. After all, no matter how much the uncle is, he is also the elder brother of his father since he was a child.

Thinking of the arrogant appearance of my uncle in the past, thinking of how my uncle always liked to bully his honest father, and thinking of how my uncle used to cheat me regardless of family affection.

Pictures from childhood to adulthood appeared in his mind. Bai Yan looked at the dying uncle in front of him with complicated eyes.

After coming to the state of Qin, Bai Yan has killed many, many people. He has seen countless dead people on the battlefield. There are sharp swords with blood on them, and those pierced by arrows and daggers. Bai Yan has long been used to seeing corpses and pictures.

But the uncle is different from everyone.

Twilight.

Bai Yan thought of when he was a child, sitting by the rice field under the setting sun. At that time, his father and grandfather had not yet separated. During the autumn harvest, he would sit with Zilu, listening to Zilu talking about the things in Linzi city, and watching from time to time. Looking at the field, grandfather and uncle were talking, father and uncle were busy in the field, mother, aunt, and aunt were behind to help.

Looking at the memories of those scenes, looking at his uncle now, Bai Yan knows better than anyone else that those scenes are from the past that he and his uncle will never have the chance to return to.

"General, there are a few people from Daliang City in the downstream camp. They said they want to see the general!"

Outside the tent, a soldier hurried into the tent and said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan was not surprised to hear that someone begged to see him. From the time when the grain and millet were burned at the very beginning, it has been several days since the gentry in Daliang City could no longer hold on. The reason why they are holding on now is nothing more than their desire to surrender to Qin. After that, they can continue to have a higher status than the living people.

"Please go to the tent and order people to prepare a banquet!"

Bai Yan stood up slowly and looked at his uncle who could no longer hold on and saw King Wei leaving the city. Bai Yan turned around and left the camp with Yanmao.

Qin army camp.

In one tent, Mr. Changping was kneeling and sitting behind a wooden table, looking at the other five men behind the wooden table in the tent. The youngest of these men were all in their 40s, and the older ones were even in their seventies.

Because in the Qin army's camp, apart from the entourage guarding the camp, there are also eyeliners in the camp as internal responses, so Lord Changping is not worried about any changes in the Qin army's camp, but he himself does not know.

Moreover, after learning that Bai Yan is not a child of the Bai family, Lord Changping, who had already dared not touch Bai Yan easily, did not even have the slightest thought of touching Bai Yan. The two elite troops, looking at Wei Guo this time, will know that Wei Guo's army tried to break out of the girder several times, but they were always stopped by the side riders, resulting in heavy casualties.

In the state of Qin, mobilizing such a general is almost tantamount to delusion.

"Peng's family, Mr. Peng is an old friend of the old man. Now that I know that the old man is here, when the water in the Zhuhe River and the ditch fades, Mr. Peng will definitely come out of the city to meet him."

"Mr. Yang and this old man have been friends for more than 50 years. It's a pity that brother Yang is no longer alive. What a pity~!"

The five men in the camp talked with each other, discussing old friends and relationships they could win over in Daliang City, as well as those important celebrities and scholars who must meet in Daliang City.

These five people are all members of the gentry, and they have always been the guests of Lord Changping, and they are highly regarded by Lord Changping.

On this trip to Daliang, apart from Yingchuan and the people in the Qin Dynasty, Lord Changping brought five people to Daliang City to advise him. Oftentimes, no matter how smart a person is, he will sometimes be negligent.

They just arrived today, so Lord Changping didn't even leave the camp, and stayed in the camp to entertain these five people.

"Report to Lord Changping, there is news that there are people from Daliang City in the camp downstream, asking to see Bai Yan!"

A follower entered the camp and reported to Lord Changping.

Lord Changping put down the bamboo slips, frowned slightly, and after a few breaths of thought, his expression became gloomy. The well-informed Lord Changping didn't know where the Wei clan in Daliang City was going to negotiate with Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan?"

"Why did the people of Wei go to Bai Yan!"

The five counselors looked at each other in puzzlement when they heard the subordinate's report.

"It's Qi Ren's identity!"

The first person to react was the white-haired old man in his 70s. The old man's name was Wei Zhao, and he belonged to the old gentry of the Wei Kingdom.

"I see!"

Lord Changping also reacted quickly, and immediately realized why the Wei Guo clan was able to let go of their grudges in the end when facing Bai Yan who was flooded in Daliang, and still chose Bai Yan even though he had already sent envoys into Daliang.

Obviously Qi Ren's identity came into play at this time.

Thinking of this, even Lord Changping, who has always been steady and calm, finds it hard to accept. Compared with Bai Yan, Lord Changping did not lead troops to attack the State of Wei, second, did not flood Daliang City, and third, did not have any relatives killed by the King of Wei. , and finally took the initiative to send people to the city to negotiate.

As a result, he was busy working together, but Bai Yan didn't do anything. No, it was Bai Yan who caused all the people in Daliang City to become like this. As a result, those gentry in Daliang City still chose to meet Bai Yan in private.

"We must not allow Bai Yan to win over the clans in Daliang City so easily!"

At this time, the youngest middle-aged man spoke up and said that the man's name was Ji Sheng. He was a nobleman from Chu State. He came to Qin State from Chu State many years ago and defected to Lord Changping. Lord Changping also appreciated his intelligence very much and stayed in Qin State. around.

As Lord Changping's staff member, Ji Sheng was aware of Lord Changping's plans. After all, it was often Ji Sheng who went to Chu to meet Xiang Yan, Jing Qi and others on behalf of Lord Changping.

Therefore, Ji Sheng is very clear now. After Lord Changping knew that Bai Yan was going to take the opportunity to attack Chu, no matter it was Lord Changping, Xiang Yan, or Jing Qi, they all hoped to use the Wei clan when Bai Yan attacked Chu. Cut off Bai Yan's food and grass from behind, and also cut off Bai Yan's retreat.

In this way, Bai Yan and Qin's more than [-] troops can be resolved, and there is no need to expose Lord Changping's rebellion against Qin.

Therefore, we must not allow all the Wei clan to fall to Bai Yan and make friends with Bai Yan, otherwise the goals of Lord Changping and Xiang Yan will be in vain.

"Mr. Changping, do you want to prepare a carriage and go to the camp downstream?"

The servant looked at Lord Changping and asked.

Lord Changping shook his head.

"The news just came from the downstream, and I immediately appeared downstream. With Bai Yan's understanding, I will definitely think of many things."

Mr. Changping sighed, his weather-beaten face was full of sorrow. Mr. Changping also felt troubled at this moment. He had experienced the incident of Gaonu in Shangjun, and even Wang Ben was almost plotted by Li Mu. Fortunately, Bai Yan withdrew his army and returned to Fangyan and , and also, the sudden appearance of Bai Yan in Yanmen a few months ago.

These all tell Mr. Changping how sensitive Bai Yan is.

Someone from Daliang City went to the downstream camp just now, if he also appeared in the downstream camp at this time, no matter what the excuses are, Bai Yan will probably not be suspicious.

What's more, even if he goes to the downstream camp now, it won't help at all.

"Is there any news from the south?"

Lord Changping looked at his confidant Ji Sheng and asked, when he discussed with Xiang Yan and Jing Qi about using the Wei clan to deal with Bai Yan, they didn't know that Bai Yan was from Qi. Sending this matter to Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, I don't know if the two of them can find a way to get Bai Yan back to Qi after they learn about it.

After being pushed out of Xianyang by Ying Zheng, when he stayed in Yingchen, he made up his mind to leave Qin State and help Chu State deal with Ying Zheng.

Compared with killing Bai Yan, facing Qin with its vast territory and numerous generals, he was more inclined to let Bai Yan return to Qi. It can be said that once Bai Yan returns to Qi, Qi will not only have Bai Yan, such a famous general, but also a brave and capable side cavalry.

This is nothing more than adding insult to injury to Qin.

"No news has come yet!"

Ji Sheng shook his head, looking anxiously.

"How can this be good?"

"Yes! If we don't stop Bai Yan, once Wei Guo leaves the city and surrenders to Qin, there will be no chance there."

The other men kneeling behind the wooden table also frowned and started discussing.

At this time, Lord Changping also got up slowly, walked back and forth in front of the wooden table, constantly thinking about the countermeasures, but he couldn't go, but he couldn't let Bai Yan successfully persuade Wei Guo to surrender and win over the Wei Guo clan.

"In the current situation, the best way is to find a way to distract Bai Yan. As long as Bai Yan is not in Daliang, even if any Qin general comes here, he will not be able to compare with Lord Changping!"

Ji Sheng thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Mr. Changping who was walking back and forth, and said softly.

"Bai Yan is a general. Ying Zheng has handed over the general talisman to Bai Yan. Bai Yan can now mobilize not only Wang Ben, but also the Qin army in the central camp in Guizhou. In addition, the surrender of Wei is imminent, and he wants to take away Bai Yan. Yan, with Bai Yan’s intelligence, it is absolutely impossible!”

When Lord Changping heard about Ji Sheng, he stopped and looked at Ji Sheng, shook his head and said.

Mr. Changping did not understand the one-and-done method Ji Sheng mentioned, but it is not easy to transfer Bai Yan away. Let alone Bai Yan's intelligence makes people dare not move easily, even if he uses Chu's soldiers and horses, he may not be able to do so. To dismiss Bai Yan, besides, with Bai Yan possessing the General Talisman, he has not yet won over the Wei clan, and the Chu Kingdom hastily fought Bai Yan, and the male might take advantage.

Even though he himself is the right prime minister, it is absolutely impossible and he has no right to let Bai Yan, the commander-in-chief, leave Daliang at this time.

in the tent.

Hearing the words of Mr. Changping and Ji Sheng, the others all frowned and looked thoughtful. Only Wei Zhao, who was the oldest, in his 70s, thought of something and raised his hand to stroke his long beard.

"Maybe there is a way to get Bai Yan to leave Daliang!"

Wei Zhao spoke softly.

As soon as these words came out, the other men, including Mr. Chang Ping, all looked over and looked at Wei Zhao in surprise. Is there really a way to get Bai Yan to leave Daliang?

Even Ji Sheng, who proposed this method, looked at Wei Zhao with confusion.

"Old Zhao, please speak up!"

Lord Chang Ping asked with a bow of respect, in the eyes of Lord Chang Ping, it is impossible to send Bai Yancai away at this time, but since Wei Zhao spoke, Lord Chang Ping still wanted to hear Wei Zhao's solution.

Under the eyes of Lord Changping and everyone else, Wei Zhao sighed and looked at Lord Changping.

"Mr. Changping, do you still remember that when we were in Luoyin earlier, there was a scholar from Wei State named Wei Pang, who once said in full view that if Qin loses the nine tripods, he will lose the world!"

Wei Zhao said.

Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Lord Changping nodded after thinking for a while. Don't talk about him, this matter has been spread among Qin's court and other vassal states. Scholars like to use this incident to ridicule Ying Zhengde's unworthiness. It was heaven who deliberately let Jiuding fall into Surabaya, so that Qin was destined not to get it.

"Mr. Zhao intends to ask Bai Yan to look for Jiuding? Although the world is using the matter of Jiuding to ridicule Yingzheng, if Bai Yan is asked to look for Jiuding, it is understandable, but the princes and kings of Jiuding have sent people to I have searched in Surabaya, but all in vain, how can I get Bai Yan to leave? Use your energy to search!"

Ji Sheng looked puzzled, frowned, and after thinking about the difference, he looked at Wei Zhao.

The same is true for other men, they don't understand why Wei Zhao asked Bai Yan to find Jiuding.

"I won't go if I can't find Bai Yan."

Wei Zhao watched Ji Sheng say this, and then looked at Mr. Changping: "What if there is news about Jiuding?"

While speaking, Wei Zhao's old face and old eyes showed deep meaning.

None of the people present here are dull people. After hearing Wei Zhao's words and thinking for a while, they all vaguely guessed Wei Zhao's meaning.

"Old Zhao said, make a fake Jiuding and hide it in the Sishui River?"

Ji Sheng paused, and said cautiously.

Wei Zhao was wearing delicate silk clothes, his old face under the white hair showed an old fox's smile.

"It has been more than 50 years since the Jiuding fell into Surabaya. I have almost forgotten what the Jiuding looked like. In today's world, there are very few people who have seen the Jiuding~~! Very few!"

Wei Zhao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, raised his hand to smooth his long beard, and shook his head.

"Wei Jiang, attacking Chu, and Jiuding! Among the three, Bai Yan is almost alone. He is only one step away from destroying Wei. Now that Lord Changping is here, this step is even worse than attacking Chu and Jiuding." If it is far behind, and Jiuding stands for the righteousness of the world, it is impossible for Bai Yan not to know the importance of this thing to Qin, once Qin and Chu fight, it will be difficult for Bai Yan to get away and look for the tripod."

Wei Zhao slowly analyzed it for everyone.

At this time, Ji Sheng followed Wei Zhao's words, his eyes flashed with light, and he quickly raised his head to look at Wei Zhao.

"And right now, if Bai Yan handed over Liang to Lord Changping, he could search for Jiuding first, and then attack Chu. Even if Bai Yan gets Jiuding in the end and sends them back to Xianyang, then we can also look for the great Confucian who has seen Jiuding, and give advice. The tripod is a fake tripod, if the time comes to slander Yingzheng to win the Jiuding tripod and deceive the world, then Yingzheng and the civil and military officials of the state of Qin will definitely anger Bai Yan! If Bai Yan knows in advance that the tripod is a fake tripod, If you go back to Qin, you will die, I am afraid that Bai Yan will have nowhere to go."

As Ji Sheng was talking, his face was full of smiles as he pondered, then he raised his head and looked at Wei Zhao with admiration. This method is good!Not only can it drive Bai Yan away, but it can also frame Bai Yan and force Bai Yan to come back together.

Thinking of this, Ji Sheng looked at Wei Zhao with admiration.

The other three men also looked at Wei Zhao, looked at each other, and kept nodding, agreeing with Wei Zhao's idea.

"Qi, I am lucky to have Mr. Zhao helping me!"

Mr. Chang Ping also had a face full of sincerity. After recovering, he kept nodding and saluted Wei Zhao seriously. While he was relieved, he also applauded for this plan.

"I also ask Mr. Changping to write a letter immediately and send it to Chu and Qi. The news of Jiuding not only needs to spread, but also needs the actions of Qi and Chu to make Bai Yan have to fight. The matter started because of Bai Yan , if Bai Yan hears about the Jiuding and doesn't fight, then it's a fake tripod! I'm afraid it will be the 'true tripod' that Yingzheng won't see in the future!"

Wei Zhao returned the salute to Mr. Changping, and said the last words with a light smile.

"wonderful!"

Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Ji Sheng stared, and the corners of his mouth immediately turned up.

Book friends, Happy Qixi Festival!
