Qin Gong

Chapter 156 No, General

Sheriff's mansion.

A Qin official hurried to the mansion, and then came to the study.

"Master County Governor, Bai Yan, City Guard of Gaonu City, please meet me outside the mansion!"

The official of Qin cupped his hands at Yang Xian, the prefect.

heard.

Yang Xian, who was looking at the bamboo slips, didn't raise his head, nor did he put down the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Let him in!"

Yang Xian said something when he saw it.

After Qin Li heard this, he quickly turned around and left the study.

Yang Xian held the bamboo slips in one hand, stretched out the other hand to the porcelain cup, put the porcelain cup containing tea to his mouth, blew gently for a while, and then took a sip.

After putting down the porcelain cup, among the two maids behind Yang Xian, one of the maids went to the side and poured warm tea carefully for Yang Xian.

During the whole process, Yang Xian never took his eyes off the bamboo slips.

"I never thought that Bai Yan would actually come to Yuzhong City in person!"

On the other side of the wooden seat, Li Pingyan, who had not yet left, said in surprise.

Then Li Pingyan couldn't help but shook her head, there was no proof, so what if she came.

"It's all about conceit!"

Yang Xian was not too surprised.

After a long time.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a word rang out in the study.

"Gaonu City, the city guard Bai Yan, see the county guard!"

Maybe he just finished reading the bamboo slips, maybe he wanted to see what the person who wanted him to go to other counties to ask for help looked like, Yang Xian finally raised his head and looked at the person who had just spoken in the study.

Looking at it this way, Yang Xian didn't have a happy old face at all, and even showed a hint of displeasure.

"You are the Bai Yan who asked the old man to ask for help?"

Yang Xian looked at his young age, when his grandchildren were considered young, and frowned unnaturally.

Li Pingyan at the side was surprised when he saw Bai Yan.

Previously, he had always thought that Bai Yan, who was able to win the first meritorious service at a young age and had made meritorious deeds several times, should be a young man with a strong body and a strong body.

He never thought that this Bai Yan, a disciple of the Bai family who was known as the young general of the Qin army, who was the same as his nephew Li Xin in the eyes of others, was actually a weak young man.

Inside the study.

When Bai Yan heard the words of the county guard Yang Xian, he was astonished for a moment, but he still nodded.

"Yes!"

Bai Yan looked at the old and gray-haired Sheriff Yang Xian, a little puzzled, he didn't remember where he offended the Sheriff Yang Xian!
"Is there any evidence?"

Yang Xian reached out for a roll of unopened bamboo slips from the wooden table, and then opened it to read.

"There is no proof! But Bai Yan thinks it is too abnormal. It is obviously a drought, and now the cold winter is coming, but the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu have not moved. Bai Yan thinks that as long as the army is mobilized, no matter what the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu are, the county will go to the county. It’s still the Northland, both can be guaranteed.”

When Bai Yan heard Yang Xian's words, he hurriedly cupped his hands to explain, but just as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Xian.

"Do you know how much food and grass will be needed for a [-] army to travel along the way? Do you know how much food and grass will the county have to bear when a [-] army comes to Shangjun? If you don't have evidence, go to ask for help and send troops, which will harm the country and the people!"

Yang Xian looked at the bamboo slips and said softly.

"My lord, Bai Yan is willing to guarantee it with his life!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Xian, but the next moment.

"Life? How much is your life worth!"

Yang Xian's old-fashioned voice sneered.

As the governor of the county, Yang Xian was also Bai Yan's superior official, so he didn't show any affection for Bai Yan at this moment.

Li Pingyan was not surprised, Yang Xian was not only the sheriff, but also a veteran of the four dynasties of the Qin Dynasty. Like the general Yang Ruihe, he was the pillar of the Yang family, and Bai Yan was just a junior.

Bai Yan's actions before, not to mention Yang Xian, even he felt that this disciple of the Bai family was not as reliable as the rumors said.

And one day ago, he sent this matter to Xianyang and sent it to Yushi Zhongcheng, with the intention of letting Dr. Yushi know about it.

Now listening to Bai Yan's words just now, Li Pingyan felt that it was better to write another letter and report the matter in front of her in detail.

If yesterday he felt that Bai Yan was not suitable to be a city guard, then now Li Pingyan felt that Bai Yan's character should be tempered, the current Bai Yan is not suitable to be a city guard.

"My lord, Bai Yan's life is worthless, but in Gaonu City!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Xian, and was about to continue speaking.

At this time, the door of the study behind Bai Yan was pushed open, and a maid came in slowly.

"My lord, Tang Bing, Mr. Dong Yuan, and Cui Guang, Mr. Xia Huang, have arrived!"

The maid said to Yang Xian.

Hearing this, Yang Xian quickly got up and walked outside.

Even Li Pingyan got up quickly when she heard the names of these two people, patted on her clothes, and walked out together with Yang Xian.

"grown ups!"

Seeing that Yang Xian and Li Pingyan were about to leave, Bai Yan quickly spoke again.

Yang Xianli ignored Bai Yan, but walked outside quickly.

Bai Yan was in the courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, looking at Yang Xian and Li Pingyan, and warmly welcomed the two old men in their fifties and sixties.

"grown ups!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Xian's leaving back, and bowed again.

"I have something important to discuss!"

Yang Xian, who had already lost his patience, stopped, glanced at Bai Yan with his old eyes, and then walked straight to the main hall.

Bai Yan stood where he was, in the courtyard.

When he was a child, in the hometown of Qi Guo, the villagers looked down on him, so he could leave and return to his home.

But now that he has grown up, in this mansion, he is ridiculed and ignored by others. He can walk thousands of miles, but he can't walk even a single step at this moment.

Because Bai Yan knew better than anyone else that when he left, the people of Gaonu would be homeless, and as long as he took one step over the threshold of the mansion, countless cavalry soldiers would be killed or injured.

Watching from time to time, pieces of snowflakes began to fall.

Bai Yan looked up at the sky and prayed in his heart that there would be a heavy snowfall that would trap him in Yuzhong and trap the Xiongnu in the grassland.

Half an hour passed.

In the yard, the cold wind whizzed past, blowing snowflakes.

Bai Yan looked at several maids who were carrying high-quality tea from another place and walked towards the main hall. Bai Yan didn't remember which hot kettle was in the hands of that maid.

An hour later.

Bai Yan stood in the yard, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky disappear, hope gradually disappeared.

Two hours later.

It was getting dark gradually, and Bai Yan, who hadn't eaten a grain all day, stood in the yard, watching a famous maid in the distance bring hot food and fine wine into the main hall.

Outside the mansion.

More than thirty cavalry officers and soldiers stood outside the door.

At this time, a carriage came slowly, accompanied by more than a dozen cronies. After the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a man familiar to the cavalry officers came out of the carriage.

"I've seen the general!"

"Meet the general!!"

Seeing General Hu Jin, a cavalry soldier hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted.

Hu Jin looked at these iron cavalry soldiers at this moment, a little dazed, because they felt familiar, and then immediately thought that these were Gao Nu's iron cavalry soldiers.

"Why are you here?"

Hu Jin got off the carriage and asked.

"We will follow General Bai Yan to Yuzhong."

Accompanied by the leading iron cavalry general, he told Hu Jin what had happened, and Hu Jin was full of surprises.

Hearing that Bai Yan had arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion two hours ago, Hu Jin hurriedly walked towards the mansion.

inside the mansion.

"Why has he been there for so long?"

"No, I've been standing here for two hours, and it's almost dark! He hasn't left yet!"

"Don't look at his young age, but I heard that he is the guard of Gaonu City, Bai Yan!"

"What, he is Bai Yan? You see, he is so young, thin and weak, not strong at all?"

As the two servants walked, they looked at the yard, the young man wearing Qin armor and Qin sword, who was standing alone, discussed in a low voice.

When the two of them almost bumped into someone, they quickly came back to their senses, and this time they almost sat limp on the ground without being frightened.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!!"

Seeing Hu Jin, the two servants hurriedly saluted, feeling extremely apprehensive, and thankful that they hadn't bumped into the county lieutenant just now.

Hu Jin didn't answer the two servants. At this moment, his eyes were staring blankly at the young man standing in the yard.

Looking at the young man's back, Hu Jin still remembered that in the first battle of Yangcheng, this young man was the first to conquer the city and killed twenty-two people!

Hu Jin also remembered that after Bai Yu was poisoned, it was this young man who stepped forward, turned the tide, and led the Bai clan's iron cavalry to the north to make meritorious service.

Hu Jin even remembered that when he was in Xincheng, in front of Yao Jia, General Teng and other generals, the young man's few words directly cut off the remaining vitality of South Korea.

at the moment.

Farewell to Xinzheng, I saw the boy again in Yuzhong, Shangjun, but this time, I saw the boy standing alone in the yard.

With credit, there is also a reputation. Why did the young man insist on coming to Yuzhong for a guess, and stood here to be laughed at coldly?
When Hu Jin thought about it, he understood why. Having been in contact with Bai Yan, he knew clearly that Bai Yan came here just now because he believed that the Yue clan and the Xiongnu would definitely go south.

thought here.

Hu Jin stepped forward and came to Bai Yan's side.

"Without evidence, not to mention Yang Xian and Li Pingyan, just anyone would not ask for help from other counties."

Hu Jin said.

Bai Yan, whose face was a little pale by the cold wind, only noticed at this time that General Hu Jin came to his side at some time.

"Bai Yan, I met General Hu!"

Bai Yan saluted Hu Jin.

"Is there not enough soldiers and horses in one county?"

Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan, who had no dripping water, no particles, and dry mouth, and said softly.

The meaning of this sentence is to tell Bai Yan that he, Hu Jin, is now a county lieutenant.

"General, if there is such a day, Bai Yan still hopes that General Hu will help Bai Yan and escort the people to Yuzhong."

Bai Yan looked at Hu Jin and said with a smile, but the eyes on his smiling face seemed to make people feel very sad.

At this time, a maid came from a distance and came to Hu Jin's side.

"General Hu, the banquet has been set up, my lord, please let the general in!"

The maid said to Hu Jin.

At this time, Bai Yan heard the maid's words and looked at Hu Jin with a smile.

"General, Bai Yan will take his leave first!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Follow me in, and I will speak for you again."

Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan.

Hearing the laughter of Yang Xian and others coming from the main hall of the mansion, Bai Yan stopped, turned to look at Hu Jin, and smiled gratefully.

"No, General, Bai Yan has something to do!"

Bai Yan said.

From the very beginning, he knew that General Hu Jin would help him, but after receiving the bamboo slips and stepping into the city, he had no intention of looking for General Hu Jin.

In the bamboo slips, General Hu Jin has already made it very clear that he is just obsessed with obsession, so why make it difficult for General Hu Jin to be a man in the future, after all, Master Li, the censor, is watching.

He turned to look at the gate of the mansion.

Bai Yan walked towards the gate step by step.
