Qin Gong

Chapter 175 Your kid is a blessing in disguise!

At the end of the war, all the remains of the soldiers were buried under the mountains.

As for the corpses of the Huns and Yuezhi people, a pit was hastily dug and buried, but all the heads were chopped off and thrown together to form a hill.

Quack~croak~!

Flocks of crows are all gathered on those heads at this moment, constantly gnawing on the heads of those Huns.

In the past few days outside the canyon, these crows looked at the iron cavalry soldiers in the distance. Although they were still vigilant, they obviously began to get used to it. At least within a certain distance, the crows would not fly away.

In the cold winter.

Crows are birds that seldom migrate. Most of them stay in one place all year round when there is food.

"General, look!"

Ye followed beside Bai Yan, looking towards the south.

Bai Yan turned his head to look, and then he saw the direction that Meng Yu went south a few days ago. Under the mountains, there seemed to be an army heading towards Gaonu City.

Goooooooo~!

A while later, several iron cavalry soldiers who had escorted Meng Yu to Yuzhong came before Bai Yan on horseback.

Quack quack ~! !
The crows scattered, and hundreds of crows flew to the sky in unison. This scene could be clearly seen even from afar.

"General! The county captain, General Hu, has escorted the people of Gaonu to Gaonu City!"

After several cavalry officers got off their horses, the leader came to Bai Yan and cupped his hands, telling Bai Yan the identity of the army behind him.

"Okay, I'll go there now!"

Bai Yan nodded, then turned to look at Huai: "Notify all the generals, and follow me to meet the county lieutenant!"

Although it is not the first time meeting Hu Jin, and Hu Jin is very close to each other, and even has a relationship with the Bai family, but Bai Yan is not an ignorant person, and he is in private. Now that other Qin soldiers and common people are there, he When meeting Hu Jin, everyone must see how much he respects Hu Jin.

It is good for him and Hu Jin to spread the word.

After a while.

Accompanied by the arrival of Chai and others, Bai Yan led the cavalry generals and rode towards Gaonu City on horseback.

Gao Nu City.

Within a few days, all the fires in Gaonu City had been extinguished. It was said that the fire was burning vigorously and quickly. Due to the combination of bales and water, the city was full of ashes in just a few days.

The densely packed Gaonu people, with their wives, children, and children, walked back to Gaonu City again like a sea of ​​people.

The people who came to the city gate first, looked at the ashes in the city, even though they were prepared, they still couldn't help showing emotion.

Before leaving, this city was one of the three major cities in Shangjun. Now when I came back, I saw that the city had been completely burned.

"Look, those corpses!"

"Hiss~ There are so many, all of them!"

"Good burn!"

Looking at the charred corpses faintly exposed under the ashes, the common people were a little scared, but they were more happy, even the women were no exception.

Because everyone knows it.

If it weren't for this fire, the fate of these common people would only be worse.

Therefore, even though they saw the houses being burned, the common people still couldn't help applauding seeing the countless corpses under the ashes all over the ground.

As long as people are still there, the house can be rebuilt.

not far away.

Under the guard of his cronies, Hu Jin dismounted from his horse, looked at the ground, and could still see traces of the bloody battle.

Looking at Gaonu City in the distance, Hu Jin didn't feel at ease until he saw it with his own eyes at this moment.

The last time he had a hasty farewell in Gaonu City, at that time even he did not expect that Bai Yan would fight a bloody battle with the [-] troops of Yuezhi and Xiongnu in Gaonu.

Thinking of how Bai Yan really repelled [-] northern troops with just over [-] cavalry!
"Bai Yu, Bai Yu! Thanks to you, you didn't trust this kid before you fell into a coma. You didn't hesitate to write to me and Sima Xing to take care of him! Hehe~!"

Hu Jin murmured, and couldn't help chuckling.

After Bai Yu was ambushed and poisoned, Bai Yan was most worried about not being able to control the Bai clan cavalry.

Looking at the battlefield right now, looking at Gaonu City in the distance, and finally looking to the north.

"That kid is even stronger than me!"

Hu Jin sighed, staring at the north, wondering if he could be like Bai Yan if he was faced with a [-] army marching south.

Even he could only shake his head.

Not to mention the rare act of burning the city, and the five hundred horse-drawn carriages, these two keys to victory, even Hu Jin had to applaud.

After this time, Yuezhi and Linhu would never trust the Xiongnu again.

Unless, the Huns can fill the empty boxes with gold and replace the bags of soil with corn.

But if the Huns could do it, how could they go south!

The more I think about it, the more I want to say 'color'.

It can be said that those [-] carriages not only exchanged for the peace of the entire upper county, but also laid the groundwork for future revenge.

Goooooooo~!

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes approaching, Hu Jin turned his head and looked at the young man who was rushing over.

"Gaonu City, city guard Bai Yan, met General Hu!"

Bai Yan came in front of Hu Jin, got off his horse, and bowed to Hu Jin.

Behind Bai Yan, a famous cavalry general also saluted Hu Jin.

"You are Welcome!"

Hu Jin glanced at a famous cavalry general, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"Injured? Let me see!"

Hu Jin stepped forward and looked at Bai Yan who was pale.

"Fortunately!"

Bai Yan laughed, but Hu Jin obviously didn't believe what he said.

And when Hu Jin saw the wound on Bai Yan's shoulder, he took a deep breath.

When he was in Yangcheng last time, Hu Jin never saw Bai Yan suffer such a serious injury.

"Bring the doctor over here!"

Hu Jin turned his head hastily.

After a while, several soldiers of Qin came to Bai Yan with an elderly doctor and showed Bai Yan the wound on his shoulder.

"There are still many soldiers who have been injured, and the doctor needs to help take a look."

Bai Yan said softly, and did not refuse the doctor to help him see the wound.

After the bloody battle, Bai Yan could only tear off the blood-stained clothes to stop the bleeding. As the general, he had to deal with the aftermath one by one, and he hadn't rested for the past few days.

Bai Yan also understood that his wounds were not in good condition, but the canyon was full of seriously injured soldiers, as the chief general, how could he ride to Yuzhong on horseback.

Besides, his injuries were not life-threatening.

"Don't worry, General!"

The doctor nodded, and then carefully looked at Bai Yan's wound.

For the young General Bai in front of him, regardless of his identity, in the eyes of the doctor, this General Bai and those soldiers are the benefactors who saved Shangjun.

now.

Hu Jin on the side looked at Bai Yan and listened to Bai Yan's words.

Not to mention Hu Jin, even Chai, Yan Mao and other cavalry generals were helpless.

Bai Yan thought about the soldiers almost all the time.

"I know you love the soldiers under your command. I have brought all the doctors in Yuzhong to Gao Nu."

Hu Jin said to Bai Yan, smiling.

Even though he and Bai Yan have known each other for less than half a year, but he knows the heart and mind of this boy Bai Yan. The Qin soldiers who are like nothing in the eyes of others are different in the eyes of this boy.

But Hu Jin can also understand, maybe it's just like this, the officers and men of Bai's iron cavalry just followed this kid without complaint or regret.

After reading the wound.

Just when Bai Yan and Hu Jin were discussing how to settle down the common people.

Some people in the distance suddenly came not far away and asked several Qin soldiers.

After learning that the young boy was Bai Yan, several old men suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted at Bai Yan.

"Qianshan Village, all the people in the village, thank General Bai for saving his life!"

"Yunshan Village, thank General Bai for saving his life!"

Accompanied by the words of several old men, the common people behind these old men, no matter men, women, old or young, all knelt down in front of Bai Yan.

Compared with when they were in Yuzhong, they saw with their own eyes that the county guard ordered to stick to Yuzhong, regardless of the life and death of the people in other places around them.

Only then did they realize how good General Bai they had complained about countless times before!
"Thank you General Bai for saving your life!"

"Thank you General Bai for saving your life!!"

As more and more villagers knelt down, no matter whether it was the surrounding villagers or the people in the city, they all knelt on the ground.

From the initial hasty departure, to the news that the Xiongnu went south, at this moment, looking at the corpses of countless Yuezhi people in the city, all Gaonu people thanked Bai Yan for saving their lives.

Everyone knew that if it wasn't for Bai Yan, those corpses in the city would be them.

"You are a blessing in disguise! You are loved by the people at such a young age!"

Hu Jin took a look and saw tens of thousands of people kneeling down. This scene was particularly shocking.

After that, even Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan with envy.

Not to mention that at Bai Yan's age, for so many years, one counts as one, he has never seen a few officials in the whole Qin country who are so loved by the people.

The last official I saw who was loved by the people was General Teng from Nanyang!
But how old is Old General Teng, how old is Bai Yan!

But Hu Jin also knew that Bai Yan was worth it!

At the beginning, it was Bai Yan who did not hesitate to take the heavy responsibility, regardless of other people's misunderstandings, and insisted on ordering the relocation of the people, and then stayed in Gaonu to fight to the death, fighting to the death with his own strength, and resisting the danger of Shangjun.

Ordinary people are really envious of this, and they can't do it.

"General, this blessing is really not what Bai Yan wanted!"

Bai Yan smiled wryly.

If the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi were just going south to plunder normally, then he could accept the deaths of the soldiers. After all, the soldiers guarded the country and died in battle, and they died well.

But it was because of him that the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu went south.

These things are the reason why he has always felt guilty for those soldiers who died in battle.

He, Bai Yan, likes meritorious service, and he also entered Qin Dynasty for Qin Gong.

But this time, if possible, as the cavalry commander, he would rather the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi not go south.

"If your words spread, you know how many officials will be pissed off!"

When Hu Jin heard Bai Yan's words, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Bai Yan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and cursed with a smile.

In Hu Jin's eyes, Bai Yan's words were somewhat ignorant.

"I'll get them up!"

Bai Yan knew that there was no way to explain, so he didn't continue talking, but walked towards the common people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Old man!"

Bai Yan helped several senior and respectable old men up, and then looked at the common people behind him: "Get up! Bai Yan is just fulfilling the duties of an official, and what I really want to be grateful for is those soldiers who fought bloody battles. It is they who will fight to the death and never retreat, Shangjun is in danger!"

Bai Yan's voice fell, but the common people would not listen, after all the common people are not stupid.

Of course the people are grateful for the bloody battle against the enemy, but the people are more grateful to Bai Yan.

"General, when we were in Yuzhong City, we already knew about the general's going to Yuzhong that day! Our survival is all due to the general's disregard of guilt."

An old man looked at Bai Yan excitedly.

What the old man said made all the people behind him turn red-eyed.

Because they all knew that the reason they were still alive was because Bai Yan ordered them to relocate privately, regardless of punishment and the risk of resigning from office and committing crimes.

"Old man, get up first!"

Bai Yan said again.

Afterwards, it took a long time before Bai Yan calmed down the excited emotions of these people.

the next two days.

Gao Nu City, or Gao Nu.

Because of the bamboo slips sent by Hu Jin, which recorded the area of ​​the people's fields and houses, under Bai Yan's arrangement, the people in Gaonu City have already started to build wooden houses.

After all, building the city wall is not a one-day job, and the most urgent task right now is to let the people have a safe place to live.

Hu Jin returned to Yuzhong City the next day.

After all, as a county lieutenant, it is impossible for Hu Jin to stay in Gaonu for long.

But before leaving, Hu Jin instructed Bai Yan to do three things.

First, Li Pingyan will definitely find an opportunity to host a banquet for Bai Yan, and Bai Yan will definitely go there to show her face. Li Pingyan is the censor, so maybe he will ask someone for it in the future.

Second, as more and more credits are made, while titles, official positions, and rights are promoted, other gentry's wooing will follow closely behind.

Although the nobles and nobles don't bribe with money, but beauty and the like are indispensable at all times. If you keep refusing, you will inadvertently offend others, and even make enemies for no reason. Sometimes you have to be flexible.

Just like those generals in the court, those concubines and servants who did not accept gifts from the gentry are not only good for connections, but more importantly, the higher the power, the more flaws the general needs to have, too perfect, not necessarily good thing.

Thirdly, Cheng Meng, the imperial censor, talked about this war in his words before, and he was quite praised.

If he hadn't guessed, there would probably be news from Xianyang in the near future. Apart from rewards this time, somewhere in Xianyang might make Bai Yan rush back to Xianyang.

Meet the current king!

"General!"

On the plain, Yan Mao came to Bai Yan with lunch, looked at the dazed Bai Yan, and said a few times before Bai Yan came back to his senses.

"what!"

Bai Yan quickly looked at Yan Mao, and then took the lunch.

At this moment, Bai Yan still hasn't recovered from Hu Jin's words.

Thinking that it is possible that after a period of time, he will go back to Xianyang to meet the king.

Bai Yan was nervous, but also a little excited, looking forward to more.

He was originally the son of a commoner in the Qi State, now that he has come to the Qin State, he is likely to meet the monarch of a country soon, so how can he not be nervous.

What's more, that's the man who will rule the world in the future and create a foundation for eternity: one emperor through the ages, win the government!

When he was in Qi State, he was ridiculed by others since he was a child. At that time, no one believed that he would be successful. Only his grandmother kept telling others that his grandson would be appointed as a general.

thought here.

Bai Yan really wished he could run in front of his grandmother like he did when he was a child.

Then he told his grandmother that the king of the country was going to summon him.

Also, parents and eldest brother who are far away in Qi country!
