Zuo Prime Minister Wei Zhuang arrived at the Qin camp and was escorted away by cavalry the next day. During this period, except for talking to Bai Yan at night, he asked some questions to no avail, so he wisely did not continue to ask, and instead spent more time on

On Xicheng's body.

After all, the Shi family is a famous family in the Wei state, and Xi Cheng is the prime minister of the Wei state. If the Xi family can be appointed as an official in the Qin court, it is not a way to appease the scholars of the Wei state.

"Should you still not eat or drink in Xicheng?"

Bai Yan was in the commander's camp, handling the affairs of the camp. Fortunately, after the Xianyang edict arrived, Yang Yan became the legitimate deputy general and could now share the affairs for Bai Yan, which freed up more energy for Bai Yan.

"Still not eating!"

Mang looked at Bai Yan, thinking of the corpse, and looked a little impatient. Mang would never frown if he were to kill people, but he was still an old man taking care of people. This made Mang, who was born as a butcher, have no patience.

"General, if you don't want me to persuade you again?"

You looked at Bai Yan.

Thinking of Prime Minister Zuo Wei Zhuang's repeated instructions to take good care of the corpse before leaving, he was filled with sorrow. In his eyes, if possible, he really hoped that Prime Minister Zuo could take away the corpse.

"No need! He will come!"

Bai Yan shook his head and didn't let Mang go on.

Bai Yan knew that at this time, except for Xicheng himself, no one could persuade Xicheng to open up his heart and destroy his country for the sake of his prime minister. Seeing with his own eyes that the famous capital Daliang was submerged by floods, it was normal for Xicheng to find it hard to accept.

"He'll come?"

When Mu heard Bai Yan's words, he frowned and was confused. He recalled that he had just seen Xi Cheng's lifeless look, and Mu all told the soldiers to be careful and not to let Xi Cheng commit suicide.

Why did Xi Cheng come here to look for the general?

He was a little confused.

"General, the gate of Daliang City has been opened, and water has poured into Daliang City!!!"

Yu Feng hurriedly came to the camp at this time, and reported the report to Bai Yan with a happy face.

The city gate was rushed open, which meant that the river water would flow into Daliang City several times. This was also thanks to some soldiers who were good at water. Not only did they say that they could use giant trees to rush along the river, they were also willing to go into the water and support the giant trees to hit the beams.

city ​​gate.

Daliang City Gate, which had been washed away by floods for a day, had been immersed in water, and the rapids outside the gate were full of sand. However, within half an hour, after several rapid impacts, Daliang City Gate was directly blown open by the giant tree.

"Hey, tell Xicheng the news!"

When Bai Yan heard Yu Feng's words, he was not too surprised. He turned around and gave instructions to Yu Feng.

After watching Mang accept the order and turn around to leave, Bai Yan stood up and looked at Yu Feng.

"Quickly send people to Zhuhe River and Honggou, tell the soldiers who are staying there, and order them to start filling in the water inlet, at least to reduce the water flow by more than half!"

Bai Yan ordered.

Yu Feng was originally filled with joy when he saw the gates of Daliang City being rushed open and watching the rolling river pouring into Daliang City. However, when he suddenly heard Bai Yan's order to plug the gap, he suddenly became shocked.

"No! It's just General! We finally broke open the city gate of Wei State. Now we just need to wait here and Wei State will defeat itself without attacking. Why did General order the canal to be sealed at this time?"

Yu Feng first accepted the order, then thought about it, and couldn't help but asked curiously.

"It's going to rain! Let the river flow into Daliang City and let the Wei State lose all its food and grass supplies in the city. This time we are here to destroy the Wei State, not the Wei people! There is no need to drown all the people in Daliang City!

"

Bai Yan said.

As Bai Yan's voice fell, the sky just flashed with the sound of thunder. It turned out that when Bai Yan was sending off, he noticed that the wind direction and sky color had begun to change.

"promise!"

When Yu Feng heard Bai Yan's words, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Bai Yan, then bowed his head and turned around to leave after the ceremony.

Inside the tent.

Bai Yan looked at the map and looked at Taoyi in the past of Daliang. From ancient times to the present, when mentioning Taoyi, almost everyone has a saying in their mind: The princes are connected in all directions and gather the wealth of the world!

Behind this sentence is the most convenient location and environment of Taoyi. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Taoyi has been connected to Qin and Jin in the west, Wu and Yue in the south, and Qi and Yan in the east.

This also led to this fertile land. Even the kings of various countries were coveted in this territory. More than fifty years ago, when the various countries attacked Qi, Qin got Taoyi, and Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran got it as a fief. Later, Lord Xinling

After stealing the talisman to save Zhao, King Anli of Wei took the opportunity to seize Taoyi.

"Taoyi!"

Bai Yan looked at Taoyi, as well as dozens of large and small cities and pavilions near Taoyi.

Further east is the place where Qi and Chu meet. The territories of Qi and Chu are all on the map.

When he saw where he was, Bai Yan stretched out his hand on the map and pointed at those locations along the border between Wei and Qi, thinking about the next moves of Qi and Chu, and how they would attack Chu once they sent troops.

What situation will we face?

It didn't take long.

The sound of rustling came from the camp. It was very small at first, but within a few breaths, it became louder and louder.

The tent was opened at this time, and Xicheng's figure hurried into the tent.

"General Bai Yan, I also ask the general to immediately order people to block the gap between the chasm and the Zhuhe River. The heavy rain is coming. If the gap is not blocked, there will be countless casualties in Daliang City in the near future! I hope the general will think of the people in the city and put them free.

It’s a way out!”

With a mournful expression on his face, Xichen came to the tent and eagerly held his hands to Bai Yan and asked.

Comparing the previous attitude, following the floods of Zhuhe River and Chasm to Daliang City, Xichen no longer looked like the prime minister of the country. At this time, Xichen not only looked dazed and haggard, but also acted more like a

elder.

Bai Yan turned around and looked at the corpse.

"Don't worry, Xiang Xiang, Bai Yan has ordered people to plug the gap!"

Bai Yan said.

Xi Cheng was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's words, but then he was relieved. Looking at Bai Yan at this time, Xi Cheng felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, it was Bai Yan.

Xicheng also knew that if it were anyone else, he might not consider the people in Daliang City. From ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon for soldiers to connive at burning, killing and looting people. The most serious one was undoubtedly the case in Qi more than two hundred years ago.

During the Linggong period, Linzi of the Qi State was massacred by the Jin State.

Now that Bai Yan can think about the people in Daliang City, Xicheng can finally feel at ease.

"Xicheng, thank you General Bai!"

Xi Cheng raised his hand and gave a grateful salute to Bai Yan.

"Corpse, please sit down!"

Bai Yan didn't care about Xi Cheng's gratitude, but gave him a look and asked him to bring some food, and then made a gesture to Xi Cheng, asking Xi Cheng to take a seat.

Xi Cheng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Bai Yan, and finally thought of Bai Yan's words and the current situation of Daliang. He sighed helplessly, walked to the seat step by step, and knelt down.

"General Bai doesn't hate me?"

Shicheng's wrinkled old face had a guilty look on his eyes as he looked at Bai Yan who was walking towards him.

Thinking of the appearance of Bai Yan's closest uncle that day, Xi Cheng knew that if he hadn't helped him privately, Bai Yan's uncle would never have ended up like this. Now seeing the appearance of his clansmen, Xi Cheng knew that Bai Yan didn't say anything, but in his heart

, must be very resentful of him.

"It all started because of the greed in my uncle's heart. If my uncle was not greedy for fame and wanted to snatch the credit, he would not go to Daliang privately even if there were seals and letters from his corpse."

Bai Yan took down a roll of bamboo slips from the wooden stand, held it in his hand, and then slowly came to kneel down opposite the corpse table.

"But he is still your blood relative!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Xi Cheng still shook his head, not quite believing it.

After all, in Xi Cheng's eyes, since he is a clansman, he is related by blood. How could Bai Yan not feel resentment in his heart when he caused his uncle to look like this?

"The corpse does not look like the King of Wei. No one in the corpse would want to see the King of Wei behave like this."

Bai Yan explained.

Seeing Xicheng, who became silent again when he mentioned King Wei, Bai Yan put the bamboo slips on the wooden table.

"Bai Yan dares to ask the corpse, how many places can store grain in Daliang City? Now that Daliang City is flooded, can the corpse tell Bai Yan, how many days can the grain and millet in Daliang City last? And Bai Yan heard,

Wei Qiu, who is guarding the city gate, is from the Shi family!"

Bai Yan looked at the corpse cheng opposite the wooden table.

"What does General Bai mean?"

When Shicheng heard Bai Yan's words, his dazed eyes came back to reality. He quietly raised his gaze and looked at Bai Yan. He didn't understand what Bai Yan meant.

Wei Qiu was indeed the person supported by the Corpse Family.

"Right now, the more grain is stored in Daliang City, the more people will die! Wei's defeat has been determined, and Bai Yan wants to ask the corpse minister to help Bai Yan burn down the city to store grain."

Bai Yan said bluntly.

Inside the camp, the sound of heavy rain falling on the tent could be heard everywhere, so much so that Xicheng even doubted his own ears.

Bai Yan actually wanted him to help the Qin State and burn down the food and grass preserved in Daliang City. You have to know whether his body is from Wei or the prime minister of Wei!

"Suchi Cheng cannot obey your orders!"

Xi Cheng shook his head and refused Bai Yan.

"By neglecting the girders in the city and neglecting them, we have already betrayed the king's favor. If the corpse family once helps the Qin State and burns the grain and grain in the city, this is a traitor to Wei. Not to mention betraying the kindness of the late king, they are the nobles of the Wei State and the world's scholars."

, everyone will be ashamed of the corpse family’s actions!”

As Xi Cheng spoke, he looked at Bai Yan with determination. Because he was ashamed, not to mention that Bai Yan was the beloved disciple of his best friend Tian Jin, but the fact that Bai Yan could take care of the people of Wei was enough for Xi Cheng to agree.

Bai Yan has many things.

However, Shicheng would never agree to help the Qin State burn down the grain and grain in Daliang City.

The Shi family must not be able to oppose the Wei people and lose the support of the Wei gentry and scholars.
