The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

"You!" Ting's face was flushed with anger, and he walked a few steps to Bai Qi. He wanted to say something, but held back, and said for a long time, "I have been by your side since the new city. In Yuancheng, I am also here, and in Light Wolf City, I am the vanguard, how can you leave me this time..."

"Changping is different."

"What's the difference?" Ting Xin almost burst into tears and asked in a loud voice.

"Do you know how many Zhao Guojun soldiers are assembled in Changping?" Bai Qi said lightly.

"58!" Listening to the suffocation in his heart, he also slowed down his voice, "Zhao Guo has come out in full force this time. I have not seen any adult men on Handan Street, down to [-] or [-] years old." Babies, up to the elderly who have passed their destiny, were all conscripted into the army and sent to Changping."

"Then what about me, Daqin?"

"50?" Ting Xin hesitated, "I heard from Mr. Pingyuan that the Lantian camp has been fully mobilized, and the number of Qin and Zhao armies on the front line is about the same. I thought you went too, but later I heard from Wang Ji, Only then did I know that you are still here. There was even a rumor in Handan that you were seriously ill, and I would still..." She finally had red eyes and didn't say any more.

Bai Qi nodded and said: "This is a plan, designed to confuse Zhao's monarchs and ministers." He looked at Ting Xin's eyes with the gentle candlelight reflected, "I didn't want you to go to Handan back then. It was you who said, You grew up in Handan since you were a child, and you are a woman, so it is not easy to attract suspicion, so I let you go."

"I......"

"Listen to me." Bai Qi raised his hand to stop her, and said again, "You sneaked into Handan risking your life, not only prompted King Zhao to change generals, but also brought this city defense map out, why..." He After a pause, Fang said, "You have done enough for Daqin, you really shouldn't be in danger, and then go to Changping with me."

"Didn't you say that Changping is in your hands?"

"One million people." Bai Qi raised his face, staring at the high ceiling of the military tent and said, "One million! This is not an ordinary battle of one city and one place, this is a battle of national destiny! If the first battle is successful, our great Qin name will move!" In the world, you can take advantage of the situation to sweep the princes, if you lose, you will lose your power and humiliate the country, and it is not impossible to even destroy the country." He glanced at Ting Xin, "The soldiers are fierce and the war is in danger, you should not be by my side."

"You're late." Ting Xin was unmoved, "Before I returned to the camp, I went to Xianyang to meet Fan Ju, and I rejected him face to face."

"Ting Xin," Mr. Wu An stared at her quietly, and in an instant, Ting Xin saw frosty white hair on her white temples, "If you don't want to go to the Queen Mother, then take me to Hanoi Xin County Superintendent, okay?"

Two months later, Zhao Kuo, the leader of the Zhao army, was killed by eight arrows when he broke through the encirclement. Besieged by the Qin army, he handed over his weapons.

Ordinarily the battle was over, and Lord Wu'an reported his victory, intending to retreat the Qin army into Hanoi for a few months, and then divide the troops into two groups, enter the Shangdang, leave Anyang, and attack the isolated city of Handan for the battle of destroying the country.But there was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, and even in the camp of the Changping Qin Army, there were also different opinions. No one knew how to arrange the 20 soldiers who surrendered from Zhao Guo.Even Ting Xin, who is in charge of food in Hanoi, is under a sudden increase in pressure because of the sudden extra 20 mouths.

She was very busy here, but she listened to the report that Prime Minister Fan Ju had arrived.Even though Ting Xin was full of reluctance, she had to put it away, changed her Zhuang Rong, and went to the official office to wait for the prime minister to drive.

After Fan Ju got out of the car, he changed his usual arrogance, bowed and passed on the will of the King of Qin, and asked Ting Xin to take the imperial edict to Changping to confer awards and promotions on meritorious officers and men.Ting Xin was secretly surprised, Xianyang Fan Ju had hundreds of people under his command, why bother to come to Hanoi to ask him to go?But Fan Jukou said that the King of Qin was on a special mission, and she really wanted to see Bai Qi, so she didn't refuse immediately, sent Fan Ju away, cleaned up and got up immediately.

The imperial edict was lengthy and boring, but the officers and men rewarded each of them with titles, and there was cheering everywhere.Listening to the heart to read, my mouth is dry, but my heart is also infected by their joyful expressions.She peeked at Bai Qi, but saw that the man was standing upright at the head of the generals, his face was gloomy and unhappy.I haven't seen him for a few months, his hair has turned gray, and his hair has changed from slightly gray at the temples to mottled hair. He listened to his heart and couldn't help but sink in his heart. He was always radiant, and his face was always radiant when he talked about military affairs. The glowing Wu An Jun seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden, and even the lines on the corners of his mouth became much deeper.

After reading the imperial edict with great difficulty, it was the celebration banquet. Ting Xin was an angel. Naturally, she was dragged by the excited soldiers and drank a lot of wine. When she was half drunk, she was suddenly pulled by Bai Qi's guard Xiao Wu, and whispered: "Lieutenant Ao, the Lord is waiting for you in the back tent."

The fourth princess's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks immediately turned red, she collected herself, said "It's convenient", she slipped out of the banquet, and came straight to the back tent.

"You... looking for me?" Ting Xin didn't know whether the wine was too heavy or what, but Ting Xin felt that her tongue was a little numb.

"Sit." Bai Qi poured a cup of strong tea and handed it to her.

Ting Xin lowered her head to sip her tea, and quietly raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her.Although Changping had won a complete victory, Bai Qi's face was not happy at all, his face was still sinking like water, and his thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"I've heard people say that this battle was a bitter one?" Ting Xin finally couldn't bear the loneliness and asked.

Bai Qi didn't answer this question, he listened carefully for a moment, then sighed, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ting Xin smiled: "Why am I working so hard? You have not yet complained about bloodshed and killing the enemy, but you dare to complain when I supervise food?"

Bai Qi took a sip of tea, and the worry between his brows faded slightly: "The soldiers go ahead without moving food and grass. Zhao Jun is relying too much on the rations with him, ignoring the food and water sources, and underestimating the enemy. I will take advantage of it. Otherwise, I will take advantage of the second army. Wait, how to encircle and annihilate them?"

"Speaking of which, Zhao Guojun and his ministers all have the disease of underestimating the enemy."

"Besieged by my heavy army, Zhao Kuo was able to hold on for 46 days without food, and the army was not chaotic, which is impressive. If he spends more time training, he will not be under me in the future."

"It's a pity he didn't have this chance."

Bai Qi remained silent, only using his rough fingers to trace the rough pottery teapot.

Seeing his silence, Ting Xin was surprised and said, "Didn't you often say, 'It is enough to be a general to destroy a country'? Now that Changping is over, the gate of Handan is open, and there are no soldiers to recruit in Zhao State. You What are you worried about?"

After finishing a cup of tea, Bai Qi continued to listen to Ting Xin, but he still didn't say a word.Ting Xin finally couldn't help but said, "You didn't ask me to come here just to say these things, did you?"

Bai Qi sighed, and said slowly: "Does Your Majesty have an edict for me?"

"The edict?" Ting Xin thought he had heard it wrong, "Didn't you read it just now?"

"Didn't you give it to me alone?"

"No, the Prime Minister didn't give it." Ting Xin shook her head, she felt that she might have drunk too much, her brain was stuck like glue, and she couldn't think of anything.

"The prime minister went to see you in person?" Bai Qi raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Ting Xin hiccupped and said with a smile, "He's probably out of his wits, and he took a detour from Xianyang to Hanoi to find me to deliver the decree."

"Then did he say anything?"

"He said..." Ting Xin frowned and thought for a while, "By the way, he said, 'Everything after the war will be dealt with by Marquis Wu'an.'"

"It's unreasonable!" Bai Qi put the teapot in his hand heavily on the table, "The king has no edict, the prime minister has no plan, but Bai Qi alone will take care of such a big event!"

Seeing his sudden change of color, Ting Xin was so frightened that he was half awake from the wine, and hurriedly asked: "What is it that made you so angry?"

Bai Qi remained silent, as if he was trying to suppress the resentment in his chest, and after a while he said: "You have been tired from the long journey, and you have drunk again, don't go back to the Chinese army's tent, just at... Rest here for a while." He paused and said, "I'll go to the front to greet them."

Ting Xinmu sent him out the door, feeling dizzy and drowsy, lying on the camp bed on one side, not knowing anything about personnel.
