Qin Gong

Chapter 281 The Subtle Beginning (4K)

Zhao Guobo people.

In a field outside the city, more than a dozen carriages tied with Bai Su were parked on the road.

On one of the carriages, there was a huge coffin parked impressively. The coffin was carved with exquisite stripes. There were dozens of people, men, women, old and young, all around. At this moment, they were all standing on the left and right in white clothes.

And not far away.

On the official road, many scholars gathered on both sides of the road.

"If it's not a villain, Lord Wu An shouldn't die~!"

"Woooooo~! The sky is long, the soul is so soulful~ May I see Mr. Wu An~!"

Looking at the coffin on the carriage, many scholars knelt on the road, weeping bitterly, mourning the word Wu Anjun.

Obviously, the ones placed in the coffin are Zhao Wu'an Jun and Li Mu!

After a while.

A group of iron cavalry suddenly drove slowly in the distance. The cavalry officers and soldiers were all dressed in Qin armor and holding a black flag with the characters of Qin. The bows and crossbows equipped on the horses were the equipment of elite cavalry.

This scene caused many gentry people on the official road to wait and see to get out of the way one after another.

"Why are all Qin cavalry here?"

"Don't you know? The reason why the corpse of Lord Wu'an Li Mu was able to return to his hometown was because of Qin General Bai Yan. After the well was broken in the past, he couldn't bear the corpse of Lord Wu'an Li Mu to be exposed to the wilderness, so he asked General Yifang and others to bring the corpse back Cypress!"

"Qin general Bai Yan? Isn't he from Qin?"

"Hey, even the people of Qin know that Li Mu is not guilty, and the people of Qin feel pity for him!"

The people of the gentry gathered together and discussed with each other.

When Li Mu was alive, these nobles more or less went to the Li family to make friends with. Now that Li Mu is dead, as long as they don't offend Qin, they are all willing to see him off to show respect and gain a good reputation.

on the official road.

The cavalry generals came to a group of carriages, and the leading cavalry general stepped forward.

"Teacher!"

The iron cavalry general got off his horse, and then came to a gray-haired old man, bowing his hands to the old man.

The old man's name is Li Ji, style name Boheng, Li Mu's father.

And the old man has other identities, the former Grand Tutor of Qin State, and also the younger brother of Li Chong, Governor of Longxi County of Qin State.

Although Li Ji had already retired from the Zhao Kingdom and did not care about world affairs, the iron cavalry generals did not dare to be sloppy about where their previous qualifications were placed.

"Teacher, we are ordered by General Bai Yan to escort General Li Mu's coffin all the way!"

The iron cavalry general said to the old man Li Ji, cupping his hands.

"It's work!"

When Li Ji heard the cavalry general's words, she cupped her hands slightly: "In the future, Li Ji will definitely go to Xianyang of Qin State in person to thank King Qin for his kindness!"

Li Ji looked at the cavalry in front of him. He, who used to be Qin Taifu, didn't know something. Counting the time, it is impossible for Xianyang to reply so quickly.

This move is probably just the Qin general Bai Yan's wish.

thought here.

Even Li Ji couldn't help but sigh with emotion: I have a heart!
But Li Ji also didn't want to owe Bai Shi Baiyan, what happened today, he would naturally go to Xianyang in the future.

"Let's go!"

Li Ji turned his head, looked at his eldest son Li Yun, and his third son Li Qi, and ordered.

Seeing this, behind Li Ji, the family members of Li Mu who were dressed in sackcloth and filial piety lined up on both sides of the carriage, and followed the coffin towards Quwo.

"Let's go!"

On the other side, the iron cavalry generals also led the iron cavalry soldiers to escort the carriages on both sides of the road.

Two days later.

Jingxing.

Bai Yan was in the big camp, suddenly the messenger hurriedly delivered a letter to him.

In the tent, Bai Yan took the letter and looked at it, and put it down after a while.

The Yuezhi and the Xiongnu have ceased fighting!
According to news, before the armistice, the State of Yan once sent an envoy Yan Xu to the grassland to meet the Xiongnu Shanyu.

Bai Yan was a little curious as to what method Xun Shuo used to make everyone think that the truce between the Yueshi and the Xiongnu was the result of the Yan State behind the scenes.

"General, Yifang, Huipu, Yuhe and the three brought Li Yun and Li Qi to see him!"

At this time, Yan Mao approached the camp, and said to Bai Yan.

Hearing this, Bai Yan nodded.

"Okay! Follow me out and meet!"

Bai Yan got up and walked towards the outside of the camp together with Yan Mao.

When he came outside the camp, he saw two middle-aged men standing beside Yi Fang, Hui Pu, Yu He.

"Li Yun, pay your respects to General Bai Yan!"

"Li Qi, meet General Bai Yan!!"

The two-year-old man saw Bai Yan, and hurriedly bowed his hands to salute.

Yifang, Hewlett-Packard, and Yu He looked at Bai Yan with complex expressions, did not speak, and simply complied.

After all, the three of them used to be General Zhao, Li Mu's subordinates. Now that Li Mu is dead, the three of them are still not General Qin.

"I've seen you all!"

Bai Yan bowed his hands to several people and saluted.

"For the burial, thank you General Bai! I, Mrs. Li, will definitely remember the general's kindness!"

Li Yun cupped his hands to Bai Yan and said.

Looking at the young Bai Yan in front of him, Li Yun knew that even though Bai Yan was Li Mu's opponent before his death, each was his master.

After Li Mu's death, Bai Yan didn't cut off Li Mu's head, and didn't let Li Mu's body be claimed for credit. Instead, he let Li Mu be buried.

They all noticed one thing Bai Yan did.

Therefore, when passing by Jingxing right now, his father Li Ji specially asked the two brothers to come to the Qin army camp to meet Bai Yan and express his gratitude.

Li Mu is Zhao Guowu'an Jun. They were Li Mu's family members when Li Mu was in the Qin army. It was indeed inappropriate for them to come to the Qin army, but Bai Yan's behavior was enough to make them let go of their previous identities.

"General Li Mu previously protected the Zhao country and the entire Central Plains from the Huns, but now Bai Yan's actions are not justified."

Bai Yan saluted Li Yun.

Bai Yan's words made Yu He and Hui Pu on the side think of Li Mu's appearance when he was still alive, and their eyes turned red instantly.

outside the camp.

After chatting for a while, Li Yun and Li Qi bid farewell to Bai Yan and continued to send Li Mu's coffin to the north until Quwo.

Only then did Bai Yan know that Li Mu's wife had said that Li Mu often said that if he died in battle one day, he hoped to be buried near Quwo.

Under Bai Yan's gaze.

Li Yun and Li Qi greeted Yi Fang, Hui Pu, Yu He, and after Yi Fang returned the gift, they gave them a worried look, and then Li Yun turned and left.

Bai Yan looked at the three Yifang people who stayed behind.

The three of Yifang didn't take it seriously when they saw Bai Yan's gaze.

"Kill the three of us!"

Yi Fang said to Bai Yan.

"You were able to let the three of us go before, and let the three of us escort Wu'an Jun's body back to the Bai people. We are already satisfied. You are the general of Qin. If you let the three of us go without authorization, there will always be villains in the court of Qin to catch you. , the three of us don’t want to owe you anything! Give us the sword, we just want to have a good time!”

After Yi Fang finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yan.

Hui Pu, Yu He and the two also stood where they were, and they came back today in order not to owe Bai Yan any kindness.

Before they left, it was not for the sake of living, but to send back the body of Lord Wu'an Li Mu. Now that the matter has been done, they have nothing to worry about. They want to kill themselves in front of Bai Yan, so that Bai Yan can get the heads of the three of them. .

"Bai Yan has not received my king's order yet, how to arrange the three generals is unknown! Why did the three generals die?"

Bai Yan looked at the three people who had the will to die.

At the beginning, the reason why he asked Ye to release people after raiding Zhao Guo's camp was more because of Li Mu's prestige, Li Mu's body must be disposed of properly.

The people tied up by Zhao Cong are most likely Li Mu's confidantes, and there is a small room in the Zhao camp as an internal response, as long as the karma is confirmed, they can be released.

From the very beginning, Bai Yan knew very well that as long as he was Li Mu's confidant, after releasing them, no matter whether these people escaped or not, he would win a good name and take the opportunity to appease Zhao Bianqi.

Now that the three of them return voluntarily, Bai Yan is also happy to see it.

But at this time, Bai Yan didn't want these three people to commit suicide here.

"Bai Yan, the three of us will not be loyal to Qin!"

Yifang heard Bai Yan's words and said softly.

Yifang more or less guessed what Bai Yan was thinking, so he whispered to Bai Yan that even if they were alive, they would not serve Qin.

"Bai Yan won't force the three of you!"

Bai Yan said with a smile when he heard Yifang's words.

After a while.

Bai Yan looked at Yifang, Huipu, Yuhe and the three of them. He didn't rush to have the three of them escorted in. Instead, he stood where he was, looking at the Jingxing Road in the distance.

Watching Li's mourning team walking slowly on the road from Jingxing to the north.

"Send another troop of iron cavalry to escort Li's people!"

Bai Yan turned his head and said to Yan Mao.

"promise!"

Yan Mao nodded.

Before leaving, Yan Mao naturally noticed the gazes of the three of Yi Fang, followed by a glance at each other, Yan Mao didn't stay long, turned and left to make arrangements.

Bai Yan looked at the back of Yan Mao leaving, and looked at the coffin in Li's carriage in the distance.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan didn't pay attention to Yu He's slightly heavy voice coming from beside him.

After a while.

A group of cavalry galloped out of the camp and rushed towards the distance.

The three of Yifang knelt on the ground facing the distant coffin, kowtowing continuously until the coffin team disappeared into the distant Jingxing pass.

Bai Yan also turned around at this time and walked towards the camp.

Inside the camp.

Bai Yan returned to the tent and continued to deal with important matters.

General Wang Jian has led an army to Handan and besieged Handan.

Qiang Yan and Meng Tian went northward to attack other cities.

Now Jingxing is an important pass, and he leads the iron cavalry to guard it. Together with him, there are tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi.

Although General Wang Jian led most of his troops to Handan, he only had his cavalry here.

But Bai Yan was not worried that Zhao Bianqi would take the opportunity to make trouble.

After Li Mu's death, Li Mu's subordinates were all disappointed. Without weapons and generals, Zhao Bianqi had no intention of resisting.

Not to mention that the food and grass for tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi are all supplied by the Qin army. Once there is a rebellion, tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi will only starve to death.

Not to mention that Handan is already too busy to take care of itself, even other places can no longer produce food and millet.

September.

Bai Yan was still guarding Jingxing, but at this moment, the news from Xianyang finally reached him.

There are two messages in total, one from the palace and one from the Bai family.

The news from the palace was an order from Yingzheng. In the letter, Yingzheng agreed to his request. According to his plan, tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi would be escorted by him, and these Zhao Bianqi would be moved to Yanmen. When the Hetao is conquered, all will migrate to the Hetao to open up wasteland.

The second message about Bai's family was written by Bai Yu.

In the letter, Bai Yu told him that it was a great achievement for him to break Jingxing. In the past, the king was happy, and on the day when Zhao was destroyed, the king and the queen mother might go to Handan. At that time, he might lead the cavalry back to Xianyang to escort the king. Shang and the Queen Mother went to Handan.

Two messages.

After Bai Yan finished reading, he put away the bamboo slips.

Bai Yan was not surprised by the first news, after all, General Wang Jian was also helping him in handling Zhao Bianqi's matter.

What surprised Bai Yan was the second news from Bai Yu.

It wasn't until this time that Bai Yan vaguely remembered one thing, that is, Qin Wang Yingzheng grew up in Handan when he was young, and the relationship between Qin and Zhao was bad.

This time when Ying Zheng came, he was afraid that he would bloodbath some people in Handan.

The reason why Bai Yuzai wrote to him was probably to remind him of this matter.

"Is this asking me to do it?"

Bai Yan frowned slightly as he read the letter.

Bai Yan doesn't care about killing some people, he has lost countless lives in his hands, and countless people died because of him.

What really caught Bai Yan's attention was that Bai Yu specially reminded him of this matter.

This is related to Yingzheng's youth, and it has been more than 20 years since now.

What exactly did Bai Yu want to remind.

"The queen mother?"

Bai Yan frowned, a little puzzled.

Bai Yan has always been very taboo about the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the current King of Qin.

When I went to Handan before, I didn't have extra time to inquire about what happened between the queen mother of Zhao and the king.

Now Bai Yu's scroll of bamboo slips specifically mentions this matter.

"Take one step at a time. If you really go back to Qin, then ask Bai Yu again!"

Bai Yan shook his head, got up slowly, and then left the tent with his saber.

After walking out of the tent, Bai Yan ordered all the troops to assemble.

Inside the camp.

Under the eyes of Yifang and others, they soon saw the Qin army's iron cavalry, and suddenly they all began to gather. This was obviously an important action.

"Come out, everyone is ready to go!"

"Come out! We must hurry later!"

All the soldiers of Zhao Bianqi were also sent to the camp by the iron cavalry soldiers.

At this moment, all Zhao Bian riders had no weapons in their hands, and even their armor disappeared, replaced by a suit of commoner clothes.

"Is this going to escort us there?"

"I don't know! Could it be that he went to Qin to work as a corvee?"

"I don't know!!"

In the big camp, countless Zhao Bianqi's eyes were full of confusion. Along with the hustle and bustle of discussion around them, everyone looked around.

If it is possible, no one wants to be a corvee, especially the corvee of Qin.

But as soldiers of the defeated army, none of them had a choice at this moment.

If they really want to do corvée, for them, if they don't go, they will die, and if they go, there is still hope of life.

In fact, they also knew that according to normal circumstances, they would have been escorted to Qin to serve in corvee.

It is said that the reason why they can stay here now is because Qin General Bai Yan wrote a letter.

"General, can you tell us where this is going?"

Yifang, Huipu and others saw some soldiers pretending to be brave enough to ask Qin soldiers.

As a result, Qin soldiers also shook their heads.

see.

Yifang and the others looked at each other.

After waiting for a long time, Yifang and others finally saw the general in the distance, and Bai Yan walked up slowly among the crowd of Zhao Bianqi.

"By the king's order! You are going to go to Yanmen, build canals, and open up wasteland!"

On the podium, Bai Yan's faint voice came.

But Bai Yan's words immediately caused a sensation in the entire Zhao country.

"What, are you going to Yanmen? Isn't it going to serve corvee in Qin?"

"It's really Yanmen! Great! You don't have to leave your hometown!!"

"Yanmen! Go to Yanmen to build aqueducts! Great!!"

Among the crowd, after hearing Bai Yan's words, the densely packed figures all discussed with each other, their faces full of excitement.

As a Zhao person, no one is willing to leave the country of Zhao, let alone leave the country of Zhao to serve corvee with the sound of a defeated army.

Now hearing Qin Jiang Bai Yan's words, they are not excited.

Among the sea of ​​people.

Yi Fang, HP, Yu He and other generals looked at the scene around them, and then couldn't help looking at the figure on the stage in the distance.

Of course they all knew why Zhao Bianqi was able to go to Yanmen to serve corvee!

　Kneel with a knife and thank you for your votes!

　　Kneel down and kowtow!

　　Kowtow to all the greats, if you are not in good health with a knife, you must make up for what you owe.
