Qin Gong

Chapter 294 The shock of Yanmen people

Yanmen in October is destined to be restless.

Before all the people had time to react, and before all the gentry had time to escape, the arrest of the cavalry had quietly come to an end.

When everyone came back to their senses, more than [-] cities the size of Yanmen, more than a hundred noble families, no less than a hundred merchants and officials were all detained.

Building up the city.

"What's going on? Isn't that Lord Ya?"

"That's right! Look, those people are all from the Shen family, why were they all arrested?"

At the city gate, countless people gathered inside the city gate, looking at the people who were arrested on the high platform in the distance, some of the sharp-eyed scholars recognized quite a few of them.

There are actually many officials and even city guards among them.

see.

Everyone felt their scalps go numb, and the city guards were all arrested. Who gave the order?
Even the city guard dared to arrest him!

Immediately afterwards, some scholars who had read books and seen the world analyzed each other, and finally came to a result.

That is the person who has the right and the qualification to mobilize the city guard, that is, the Yanmen county guard.

In other words.

The person who came down to arrest these people was the governor of Yanmen County, now the Zuo Concubine of Qin State, Bai Yan!
"Bai Yan!"

"It's Bai Yan"

Accompanied by a celebrity whispering in a low voice, soon the news of Bai Yan's order spread to everyone's ears.

Accompanied by everyone's commotion, within a short while, under everyone's gaze, several Qin officials came out with a piece of gray cloth with black characters and seals on it, and looked at everyone from the high platform.

"To find out now! Loufan City Shou Yazheng, Shen Shi, Xu Shi, Qin Gong Cheng Su Han, Qin Official Doctor Fu"

Qin Li held the gray cloth and said loudly, reading out the names one by one.

All the people around under the high platform were shocked, because many people have already heard that among the names, not only officials and nobles including Loufan, but also officials and nobles from other cities and towns, and even Some generals of Qin State were also among them.

What exactly is going on?

How could so many people be involved?
soon.

Under everyone's doubts, the Qin official finally finished reading the name after his mouth was dry, and then he explained the reason.

"The above-mentioned people all committed the crime of plundering and selling. Inside the Yanmen, they secretly ordered people to plunder the women of the people and sell them to others for profit. Nearly half of the women were sold to the Huns. Qin Law, those who plunder and sell will be punished with a shovel!"

on the high platform.

Qin officials' words, like thunder, quieted the noisy city gate.

Everyone was shocked by the contents of the announcement.

Looting and selling.

In fact, in Yanmen, you can’t see it on the surface, but the people living in Yanmen, as long as their eyes are not blind, as long as their ears are not deaf, they know more or less.

In this matter, everyone knows and no one cares.

After all, who will control the life and death of the daughters of the peasants, who will offend the nobles because of some women, and who can resist the temptation of the nobles.

But right now.

Listening to the words of Qin officials on the high platform in the distance, everyone was stunned.

When things in the dark are brought to the light.

This is equivalent to the veil being completely lifted, which also means that the matter is bound to spread and spread throughout the world.

At that time, this matter can no longer be pretended to be ignored.

"Punishment?"

"Among the laws of Qin, what is punishment?"

Under the high platform, the people on countless floors discussed in low voices, looked at each other, and asked softly.

Hearing that Bai Yan, the acting magistrate of Yanmen, was actually dealing with the looting and selling, and had arrested so many people, everyone couldn't help being shocked.

Listen to the punishment that Qin officials said just now.

Countless people are curious, what kind of punishment is the punishment in Qin State?
They didn't expect that Bai Yan actually investigated the looting and selling, and arrested so many gentry and officials. After Bai Yan lifted the ugly cloth of Yanmen County, he planned to deal with these people.

After all, I just heard the names read by Qin officials, and I knew that behind this looting and sale, the scope and number of people involved were unprecedented.

Now that Bai Yan has investigated clearly, how is he going to deal with this matter.

"Punishment?"

"Punishment!!!"

When the scholars among the common people in the countless buildings heard Qin officials' words, they all stared wide-eyed. In their bulging eyes, they looked at the high platform in the distance, at those Qin officials, and at those who were arrested. Tied up gentry.

Punishment!

All the scholars felt cold all over at this moment, and the words they just heard kept echoing in their minds.

At this moment, they couldn't believe what they heard in their ears.

Looking at those gentry people who were tied up, and recalling the names that the official Qin had read just now, everyone wanted to ask if Bai Yan was crazy?

This is to kill all these criminals!
Even including some generals of Qin State!
"Execution!"

Just as the scholars in the crowd lost their minds, Yi Sheng, who was wearing an official uniform on the high platform, had already given an order.

Then, in the eyes of all the people who didn't know what the punishment was, an iron cavalry soldier pulled the criminal to the high platform, and under the eyes of everyone, he raised the ax and slammed it down.

Accompanied by the envious and bloody scene, everyone who was not prepared was shocked.

With the chubby head falling from the high platform.

Under the shocked and dull eyes of all the people, the next step was to dismember the corpse, and the bright red blood ax was raised and dropped again, and the corpse was dismembered.

This scene.

All the people in the entire city gate were dumbfounded. Such a brutal punishment also made these people unable to forget the words they just heard for the rest of their lives.

Punishment! ! !

This is the punishment!
However, when they saw the execution platform, the noble men in silk clothes who used to go in and out of the restaurant struggled in fear at this moment, twisting their bound bodies constantly.

Looking at the past, in their eyes, since birth, they have always been high-ranking nobles.

At this moment, all the people were a little confused.

It's all punishment!
It means that Bai Yan intends to execute all the gentry who committed the crime.

thought here.

At this moment, all the people felt scalp troubles, goosebumps all over their bodies, looking at the bloody corpse, in the hearts of the people, the high and inviolable gentry fell to the ground, replaced by the Yanmen who had never met before. Acting as Sheriff Bai Yan.

It was the first time for everyone to see that an official would manage the matter of looting and selling.

It was the first time I saw, or even heard, that some officials dared to kill so many people and so many gentry at once.

The marriages and connections behind these gentry families are unknown to everyone, but if you think about it, it will definitely make people shudder.

This Bai Yan! !

To find out about the looting and selling in front of everyone in the world, and execute all those involved!
As the scorching sun rises, as the scorching weather shines on the entire land.

this day.

Pingcheng, Nao, Juyang, Wuzhou.
Like Loufan City, it happened in every city of Yanmen, even Shanwu, the capital of the county, was no exception.

Countless gentry watched this scene in despair. Faced with such a quick execution, many gentry didn't even have time to find a relationship and send bamboo slips.

Shanwu City, inside the city guard's mansion.

Chai was in the study, and servants, maids, and even cavalry officers all approached the study from time to time, reporting to Chai that there was someone outside the mansion begging to see him.

"Tell them! The general is not here, if it's for looting, tell them to come back!"

In a word.

Chai said it no less than a hundred times.

Looking at the bamboo slips in his hands, Chai is sitting here, and he feels suffocated just hearing about those countless gentry.

Chai couldn't help but sigh with emotion, that is to say, the general dared to be so direct and didn't care about other nobles at all.

Turn around and look out the window.

The news from Yanmen will arrive in Handan within two days and be delivered to General Wang Jian. I don't know how General Wang Jian will react then.

Chai counted the time in his mind.

At this time, the general should have reached the grassland!

Northern steppe.

On a broad green plain, on a mound.

Suddenly, a pair of horse's front hooves with iron plates stepped on the emerald green grass, and then slowly stopped.

Look back along the line of sight.

A row passed by on the left and right, and densely packed war horses appeared in the grassland. Countless iron cavalry officers and soldiers followed the first war horse silently, holding black flags with Qin characters.

Floating with the breeze, hundreds of black flags with Qin characters fluttered in the wind.

At this moment, accompanied by Qin crossbows on horseback and Qin armored clothes, the whole iron cavalry feels majestic and powerful.

Bai Yan was at the front on a horse.

"General! Here we come!"

Yan Mao rode a war horse, stepped forward to Bai Yan's side, looked at the Huns' army in the distance, and said.

Looking at the huge Huns army coming from the north like a sea, Yan Mao looked at his old opponent nearly a year ago, thinking of the battle of Gaonu at that time, Yan Mao was full of ridicule at this moment.

a year ago.

They Bai's iron cavalry faced the Xiongnu alone.

A year later, when the Xiongnu came again, their Bai family cavalry were still not afraid.

"If there is a war later, you lead your troops to the right! Restrict the Huns from roaming!"

Bai Yan looked at the Xiongnu army and said softly.

As for the Xiongnu, Bai Yan had fought against the Xiongnu, and knew that although the Xiongnu had many horses, their shortcomings were also obvious.

Although the Huns were highly mobile and proficient in bows and horses, they had short weapons and were not good at melee combat. In addition, the range of the Huns' bows was far inferior to that of Qin's crossbows, let alone the Huns' single style of play.

In the past, Li Mu summed up these things, so when there were few horses in the war, he used the lure of the enemy to go deep, and finally wiped them out in one battle.

"promise!"

Yan Mao bowed his hands to Bai Yan to accept the order, then turned his horse and walked towards the army behind him.

after a while

Under Bai Yan's gaze, the Huns army in the distance slowly stopped, and a Huns riding a horse walked out from the Huns army.

Bai Yan raised his hand to signal.

Then behind Bai Yan, an iron cavalry officer also rode his horse and rushed towards the Huns' army in the distance.

After a while.

Under Bai Yan's watchful eyes, the cronies chatted with the Hun cavalry for a few words, and both sides rushed back.

"General, the Xiongnu Chanyu said he wants to meet with you!"

The confidant drove back to Bai Yan, and said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded.

Turning his head, he looked at the mighty army of iron cavalry behind him, and at a glance, countless black flags with Qin characters fluttered in the wind, and Chang Ge stood upright.

Bai Yan looked at the Xiongnu army in the distance, and saw that among the people headed by the Xiongnu, there were no less than a hundred Huns following them, and they rushed here together.

see.

Bai Yan couldn't help muttering.

With so many people, is this negotiating or preparing for war?

Bai Yan waved.

Then he took his cronies and rushed towards the Huns army in the distance.

on the plains.

This time, Bai Yan also saw the leader of the Xiongnu with his own eyes, that is, Touman Chanyu who led the Huns army and ordered the storming of the canyon last time.

Looking at the young and strong Tou Manchanyu, Bai Yan was a little surprised. Originally, he thought that Touman Chanyu should be quite old, but he didn't expect Tou Manchanyu to be only around thirty now.

Under Bai Yan's gaze.

The Huns beside Tou Manchanyu turned their heads and said something to Tou Manchanyu.

Then he saw Touman Shanyu looking at Bai Yan with fearful eyes.

"Ok?"

When Bai Yan saw Touman Shanyu riding forward, he removed the sharp knife from his waist and handed it to the other Huns.

Seeing Touman Shanyu riding a horse and looking at him.

Although the language barrier, but Bai Yan watched, also understand the meaning of Touman Chanyu.

However, Bai Yan was a little curious, whether this was an act of goodwill or something, why he hadn't heard of it before, that the Huns had to drop their swords in negotiations.

The Huns never behaved.

Even when the envoys of the vassal states of the Central Plains went to the territory of the Huns, the leaders of the Huns in the past would kill the envoys at the slightest disagreement, taking advantage of the terrain of the grassland and acting recklessly.

"Take it!"

Bai Yan looked at the leader of the Xiongnu in the distance, and when he frowned, he finally took off the sword from his waist and handed it to his cronies.

"go!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and walked towards Touman Shanyu in the distance with his two cronies.

After a while.

Bai Yan rode a war horse and came to Touman Shanyu.

"."

Bai Yan looked at Touman Shanyu and said a lot of incomprehensible words, and then made the same gift as Wumuhu in Gaonu.

Bai Yan looked at the Central Plains man beside Touman Shanyu.

"My guard told me that you were Baiyan of the Qin State in Gaonu last time, and I was Touman Chanyu. After all, we have fought each other before, but I can't figure it out. Although we the Huns went south last time, our Huns We have paid an unbearable price, the matter is over, when Qin State attacked Zhao State, our Xiongnu did not intervene, why did Qin State cavalry set foot on the grassland again today!"

Facing Bai Yan's gaze, the Central Plains man was excited but also a little timid.

Maybe it was because of Bai Yan's identity, or maybe it was because behind Bai Yan, there were endless rows of Qin State cavalry in the distance, and rows of black flags with the word "Qin" fluttering continuously.

"I'm here to ask for someone!"

Bai Yan thought for a while, and said something to the man from the Central Plains.

Because of the drought in Zhao State for many years, the people on the border of Zhao State have always gone to other places. It has been a long time since there were no Huns living on the border of Zhao State. Therefore, Bai Yan has never found someone who understands the Hun language like Wu Muhu, and moved the Central Plains again. people who talk.

"Tell the Huns that if you don't return the Central Plains women you bought earlier, it will be winter in two months. At that time, I will lead an army of iron cavalry to hunt the Huns for fun. I, Qin, can afford it. Let's see if the Xiongnu, who have just gone through the war, can afford it!"

Bai Yan said.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, the expression of the Central Plains man next to Touman Shanyu obviously changed drastically. He didn't expect that the young Bai Yan would have such a tough attitude in his words, and he would directly force someone when he came up.

But right now.

The Central Plains man thought for a while, then turned his head to Tou Manchanyu, and told Toumanchanyu exactly what Bai Yan said.

really.

The next moment, Touman Chanyu's complexion became extremely embarrassing, and he looked at Bai Yan with killing intent, that captivating look, as if he wanted to kill Bai Yan right here.

However, when he saw the large army of cavalry behind Bai Yan, Touman Shanyu's eyes were full of fear.

on the plain.

Bai Yan was riding a horse, facing Touman Chanyu's menacing gaze, not paying any attention to it.

For Bai Yan, after experiencing life and death, he no longer cares about these eyes.

It took the Huns ten years to recover from the trauma Li Mu left for the Xiongnu ten years ago. However, for more than ten years, the Xiongnu have not dared to go south, which also made the life of the Huns not very good.

Ten months ago, during the battle between Bai Yan and the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu was first killed by Bai Yan's iron cavalry, and many people were killed.

Then Yuezhi killed more than 1 people in one breath.

In addition to the subsequent conflicts with the Yuezhi, under the alliance between the Yuezhi and the Qin Army, the Xiongnu not only had no time to recover, but had been consuming their own strength.

Facing the Huns today.

Old Wei's suggestion to him was that there were iron cavalry equipped with stirrups, and now he didn't need to lead the iron cavalry to confront the Xiongnu head-on. He only needed to keep the Xiongnu uneasy during the winter, and the Xiongnu would collapse without fighting.

On the surface, the Xiongnu had ceased fighting with the Yuezhi.

But now both the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu want to recuperate, and they don't really trust each other.

What the Xiongnu are most afraid of now is that they cannot rest and recuperate. Once the Qin army desperately hunts down the Huns’ humans and animals in winter, the Xiongnu cannot cultivate, and the Xiongnu dare not confront the cavalry head-on. Sooner or later, they will be annexed by the Yuezhi.

"."

Under Bai Yan's watchful eyes, Touman Shanyu stared at Bai Yan directly, looked at Bai Yan, and said a bunch of incomprehensible words in his mouth.

After a while.

The Central Plains man looked at Bai Yan.

"Our Xiongnu bought women from the State of Zhao, but they did not offend the State of Qin. Could it be that the King of Qin would really deal with the Huns for some women from the State of Zhao? I think it was the general's intention to beg for the women! If the general's intention, Then what should we do with the price we Huns paid to buy a woman?"
