Qin Gong

a few days later.

Yanmen.

When Bai Yan led his army to Yanmen, Meng Tian and Qiang Yan had already taken all the cities of Yanmen.

It is said to be taken, but in fact, Yanmen's troops have been emptied a long time ago, and its main force is Zhao Bianqi, who is now being escorted by Bai Yan.

After Li Mu transferred Zhao Bianqi away, there were basically only old, weak, sick and disabled in Yanmen. In addition to the impact of drought and natural disasters, Handan did not distribute food aid, and the only remaining old, weak, sick and disabled in Yanmen were Almost dead.

When Bai Yan arrived at Yanmen.

What Li Mu left for him, or what Zhao Guo left for him, was only the devastated territory. The city was fine, but the villages outside the city had no one, and the rooms were empty.

Woyang, Zhongling, Yinguan, Loufan, Wuzhou, Juyang, Nao, Pingcheng, Yi
Passing through cities and towns, finally arrived at Shanwu, the capital of Yanmen County.

Shan Wucheng.

Because there are too many pawns and iron cavalry, all flooding into the city will cause unnecessary riots.

So Bai Yan asked Chai to settle down the soldiers and soldiers, while he hurried to the mansion and began to check what was left in Yanmen County, or what was left.

in the city.

When I came to the county guard's mansion, as Li Mu's mansion, after being captured by the Qin army, it has been cleaned up by the maids and servants in the mansion.

Under the leadership of the guards, Bai Yan came to the study room where the bamboo slips were stored. The bamboo slips on the wooden frame inside recorded all the things in Yanmen County.

Afterwards, Bai Yan didn't check, it was a good thing, but after checking, he found out that the current situation in Yanmen is worse than imagined.

"Li Mu mobilized Zhao Bianqi before, and he has squeezed out all the Yanmen!"

Inside the study.

Looking at the bamboo slips piled up on the wooden table, Bai Yan frowned, looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and then threw it on top of the other bamboo slips.

"Come on!"

Bai Yan turned around and shouted towards the outside of the study.

Under Bai Yan's order.

A confidant walked into the study and cupped his hands at Bai Yan.

"General!"

The confidant looked at Bai Yan, waiting for Bai Yan's order.

"Go let Ye come over!"

Bai Yan said.

Previously in Yanyu, Bai Yan dared to write a letter to go to Xianyang, but this time he faced Jingxing, Yanmen, and even more places that had been captured.

In addition to the original land of Yanyu, Bai Yan no longer dared to write to Xianyang.

Bai Yan knew that even the King of Qin, Yingzheng, sometimes did not do what he wanted, and the clan behind him, as well as Zhisu Neishi and Jiuqing in the court, would still put a lot of pressure on Yingzheng.

"promise!"

The confidant received the order, then turned and left.

Bai Yan stood in the study room, where the gentry in Sichuan still had inexhaustible food and millet, the money he got in Handan before, at the price of grain in Sichuan, it should be enough for the people of Yanmen to survive this year not difficult.

It is now September, and the coming year is just a few months away.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan came to the map and looked at the detailed map of Yanmen hanging in front of his eyes.

In the spring of next year, if you want to prevent the problem of grain and millet, you must build water canals. Before that, officials in Zhao State were corrupt.

Bai Yan didn't know if it was because of special reasons of Yanmen and Daidi.

But now he must build the aqueduct.

What he lacks most right now is labor force. If Zhao Bianqi keeps the tens of thousands, he must find work for them!
"Zhao Kingdom!"

Looking at the map of Yanmen, there is another map hanging next to it. This map shows Zhao Jun's deployment in detail. This is obviously a map for Li Mu to observe the situation in Zhao State.

Bai Yan looked at this map, followed his gaze, along Yanmen, Jingxing, and looked towards Handan, and then to the east was Fei, going east, a few days' journey, where there are two roads, one business road is Leading to Zhaodi Gaotang.

In the past, the State of Zhao captured the 57 cities of Gaotang in the State of Qi. These 57 cities have fertile land and a large population, which is something that the State of Qi has always worried about.

A large part of the reason why Qi State was unwilling to help Zhao State was because of Gao Tang.

Except for the commercial road to Gaotang, on the map, another commercial road going south can go directly to the border between Zhao and Qi, passing through the place where Zhao, Wei, and Qi meet.

Wherever it goes, it is Yicheng of Qi State.

When he left Qi State, he passed through Yicheng. In the end, instead of going to Zhao State, he went from Yicheng to Wei State.

As for Yicheng, he also lied to his parents, saying that he followed Lingshi and left home to make a living in Yicheng.

"Wing City!"

Bai Yan stepped forward, took two light steps, and came to the side of the map.

Looking at the place on this map, where Winged City is written, he is really very close to the way home at this moment.

homesick!
Think back to the past journey.

Before he knew it, he was used to wearing armor and wearing a Qin sword on his waist.

I just don't know why, looking at the map, the way home, in Bai Yan's eyes, is 'longer' than the way he came here.

"General!"

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, followed by Karma's voice.

Bai Yan came back to his senses and withdrew his thoughts.

"industry!"

Bai Yan turned around and looked at Ye: "You take someone back to Xianyang yourself, and take my handbook to meet Master Tai Jing Tai in secret! And my uncle Bai Yu."

"promise!"

Ye cupped his hands to Bai Yan. After receiving the order, Ye looked at Bai Yan's eyes with some sadness. It was the first time he saw Bai Yan like Ye, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"General! Are you all right?"

Karma asked cautiously.

Always following Bai Yan's side, in Zai Ye's eyes, the general has always been very courageous and good at fighting. No matter facing a formidable enemy that is twice his own body or a desperate situation, the general has never been partially timid.

And just now.

Seeing the look in the general's eyes, Ye really doubted his own eyes.

"fine!"

Bai Yan shook his head, turned around, and looked at the map.

After breaking Jingxing, now in Zhao State, the remaining things are very simple, it can be said that the remaining benefits are divided.

Previously, Bai Yan made great contributions in Yanhe, and with the contribution of Jingxing, Bai Yan's two first achievements already accounted for a large enough contribution.

It is also because these two credits are hard earned by Bai Yan, Wang Jian and other generals also know this, so in other respects, as long as Bai Yan has a request, they will basically meet it. All of them have been promoted.

Even the people Bai Yan wanted to promote were all promoted.

These are the exchange of interests between Bai Yan and Wang Jian, or other noble families in the entire army.

the next few days.

Shan Wucheng.

As the Qin army arrived in Shanwu City, the gentry in the city could no longer bear it.

The gates of the sheriff's mansion in the city are overcrowded almost every day. Countless men of the gentry, with boxes of belongings and treasures prepared, come to the gate of the sheriff's mansion and line up to visit.

When Li Mu was here, Li Mu was their fawning object.

Now that Li Mu is dead, he is replaced by Bai Yan, the youngest upstart of the Qin Kingdom, a descendant of the Bai family.

Naturally, these gentry are not stupid. They know that the most important thing for the family now is to be able to establish a relationship with Bai Yan!
No matter how strong Li Mu is, no matter how high his status is, he is still a minister of Zhao Guo.

After Qin State annexed most of Zhao State, it has become the overlord of the world, and its territory is several times that of Zhao State. Although Qin General Bai Yan is not Wu'an Lord, under the territory of Qin State, Qin Zuoshu's eldest son The weight is not much less than Zhao Guowu Anjun.

not to mention.

Bai Yan is not only an upstart in the court of the Qin Dynasty, but after the attack on Jingxing, he is probably one of the few capable ministers in the eyes of the King of Qin.

Many well-informed people have speculated.

Perhaps after this time, Qin general Bai Yan has the tendency to become a favorite.

In this way, if he can establish a relationship with Bai Yan, he will no longer have to worry about the family's decline in the world.

inside the mansion.

After Bai Yan received the news, he did not refuse these gentry's door-to-door gifts.

For the gentry, Bai Yan was somewhat resistant from the beginning, but now, after seeing a lot, he has gotten used to it.

In fact, as long as you understand the purpose of these gentry, you can make good use of them.

It's all about transactions after all.

Bai Yan knew that in order for Yanmen County to overcome the current difficulties in the future, the efforts of these gentry who were rooted in Yanmen were indispensable.

For four full days.

Bai Yan has been dealing with the gentry in places like Yanmen, and even the Guo clan in Jinyang sent congratulatory gifts.

In just a few days, the number of maids in Bai Yan's mansion increased from a dozen to more than 60. This is the situation where Bai Yan refused most of the gentry to send their daughters as concubines.

fifth day.

Bai Yan only had time to deal with important matters.

At this time, Chai, Yan Mao and others informed Bai Yan of the progress of the canal during this period of time.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips, the news reported by Chai and others, and the secret letter sent by Wang Jian from Handan.

Just as Bai Yan was reading the news sent by Wang Jian.

Shan Wucheng.

Under the scorching sun, several chariots and horses drove slowly to the city gate.

Different from the carriages of other merchants, these carriages were all planted with Qi flags, and both sides of the carriages were escorted by Qi cavalry.

"Qi country carriage!"

"Yes, these carriages belong to Qi State!"

At the city gate, other common people and merchants who came and went saw this scene, and started discussing in private.

"Stop, who are you waiting for?"

Seven or eight Qin soldiers holding long spears at the gate of the city looked at the several carriages coming from Qi, looked at each other, and the leading general stepped forward to inquire.

At this moment, the Qin pawn general looked at these Qi state carriages in puzzlement.

What is the origin of these Qi State carriages?There was actually a Qi cavalry escort!
And why come here?

Although curious, at this moment the pawn general of Qin also knew that Qin State and Qi State had good relations, and he had better be more polite when facing these Qi State carriages with extraordinary origins.

If he offends that big man, it is not something that a young general like him can afford.

Under the inquiry of General Qin Zu.

The general of the Qi cavalry slowly rode forward and took out a token from his pocket.

"Tian Cong, the doctor of Qi State, came to Yanmen to visit Qin Zuo Shuzhang today, and I hope you can bother to report it!"

The general of the Qi cavalry said to the Qin general.

General Qin Zu looked at his token. Although General Qin Zu had never seen this wooden sign, he was not worried about these people telling lies when he saw who these people were.

Doctor Qi!

thought here.

"Go and inform the general!"

The Qin general turned around and gave instructions to the other soldiers.

Now the people in Zhaodi are still dealing with household registration, and many things are very loose. He doesn't know the identity of these people, so he can only report it to the general for inquiry.

But right now there are so many cavalry escorts, the identity of Doctor Qi should be real.

"Did you hear that? Doctor Qi! Hiss~ So I saw Qin Zuoshu, Chang Baiyan!"

"Sure enough, I guessed just now that these people have extraordinary backgrounds at first glance, and they must come to Yanmen Shanwu for the sake of Qin Zuoshu!"

"How many people have come here these days! Now even the dignitaries of Qi have come to Yanmen!"

Under the city gate, merchants and passers-by who were watching from a distance, heard the words of the Qi cavalry, and they all made a noise.

During this period of time, they have seen countless people visit the Sheriff's Mansion.

Visit that Qin general Bai Yan.

Unexpectedly, today, even the dignitaries of Qi State came to Yanmen Shanwu.

"You can go in after the carriage has been inspected!"

The Qin general handed over the wooden sign to the Qi cavalry, and then let the carriage pass, but the Qin general stopped all the Qi cavalry.

"Only ten of you are allowed to enter with the carriage, and the rest need to stop outside the city and wait for the release order!"

General Qin Zu gave orders.

These cavalry are only about 300 people, and in Shanwu, where there is an army of iron cavalry stationed, these 300 people can't make any big waves at all.

But after all, it's better to be careful, after all, the county guard's mansion is in the city.

City gate.

The cavalrymen of the Qi State were not surprised when they heard the words of the general Qin Zu, and turned around on horseback to report to the adults in the carriage.

After a while.

Under the watchful eyes of the Qin generals, the Qi cavalry generals turned around on their horses and ordered all the cavalry officers to wait outside the city.

Seeing this, the general Qin Zu breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, the Qin generals also knew that when they entered the city, they would be responsible for the safety of the Qi people in these carriages. If there was an accident, no matter whether it was Qi or Qin, they would settle accounts with them.

"Take these people to the general!"

The Qin general turned his head, let some soldiers on the tower come down, and escorted the carriages to the county guard's mansion.

Subsequently.

Seeing the wheels of these carriages turning, one after another carriages passed by, the general Qin Zu led his people to check these carriages, in case there were any hidden people in them.

The first carriage.

General Qin Zu stepped forward, and under the vigilant gaze of other Qi cavalry, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and looked into it.

A man in his 20s, wearing the costumes of Qi State, looks really handsome.

Just when I was feeling emotional.

The next moment, when the Qin general looked at the girl next to the man, his eyes widened completely, and he stood there with a blank expression.

What a beautiful woman!
Fair skin, young but beautiful face.

There really are such women in the world! ! !

"Is there a problem?"

The man in the carriage asked blankly.

Just one sentence brought General Qin Zu back to his senses, nodded dully, accompanied by a cold sweat, General Qin Zu realized how rude he was just now.

You must know that the person in front of you is the doctor of Qi State. If you negotiate, maybe he will be punished.

"My lord, it's all right!"

General Qin Zu nodded quickly, feeling terrified, but he didn't dare to look at the girl again.

So beautiful!
He was afraid that if he took another look, he would lose his mind again.

"I told you not to come!"

In the carriage, Tian Cong looked at his little sister, and said helplessly, "I have forgotten how many times this happened, and it will happen every time.

God knows that the father didn't hold back the younger sister's coquettish pleading, and actually agreed to let the younger sister come to Yanmen with him.

"My brother can come, why can't I! Father agreed!"

When the girl heard her brother's words, she looked aside with a pretty face.

As the carriage moved, I heard people outside the carriage talking about that person, and a smile appeared on the girl's pretty face.

The last time I was in Linzi, Qi State, I had a farewell.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years. Will that person be surprised to see himself now!
Think back to the young man who knelt in front of the old woman at the gate of the city two years ago, the figure of that young man walking away with his sword on his back and his package on his back.

After two years of wind and rain, it's okay now!

What does it look like?
"can!"

When Tian Cong heard the little girl's words, his expression was full of helplessness, but the way he looked at the girl was very doting.

Turning his head to look aside, he heard Qin Zuo Shu Chang Baiyan mentioned by the people outside the carriage.

Tian Cong frowned slightly.

After several battles, Bai Yan, the left concubine of the Qin State, was truly amazing in his ability to lead troops. After Yan and Li Mu fought against each other, he and his father had to admit that Bai Yan's ability far exceeded previous expectations.

At a young age, he can fight against Li Mu without falling into a disadvantage.

The previous battle in Jingxing caught people off guard, and it was amazing.

Before that, who would have thought.

Zhao Guo's army, which has natural dangers, can't stop Qin General Bai Yan and his cavalry army.

Close your eyes.

Tian Cong recalled Bai Yan's famous battles, and slowly took a deep breath.

"Famous general family, Bai family!"

Tian Cong opened his eyes, and when he mentioned this clan in his heart, he was full of emotion.

This time he came here to meet him, and his father also hoped that he would have a countermeasure in the future.
