Qin Gong

Chapter 471 Confucian Master Has Arrived
November.

The story of Qin's army defeating Yan in Yishui gradually spread throughout the world, whether it was Qi, Wei, Chu, or even Baiyue, there were people who talked about it.

Everyone understood that after the defeat of the Yan State in Yishui, the terrain of the Yan State was destined to have no barriers to defend. In the flat territory of the Yan State, the Yan State alone could no longer stop the Qin State's army from attacking.

The only thing worth discussing right now is when Yan State will be destroyed by Qin State.

Unless the Yan Kingdom abandons the capital Jicheng, abandons the best territory and travels northward to a place far away from the Central Plains.

When it comes to Yan State, it is necessary to talk about a person.

Jing Ke!

Everyone in the world, without exception, felt that when Yan State was about to perish, they couldn't help feeling sorry for it. Yan State Yandan's plan is really a pity. If Jing Ke had succeeded in killing Ying Zheng, I am afraid that the current situation would be Qin State vying for the throne and civil strife , just like the state of Chu at the moment.

At that time, why should the world need to be frightened by the word Qin, why should they worry about whether Qin's iron cavalry will attack the place where they live from thousands of miles away.

Thinking of it this way, how can one not sigh with regret.

When many people mentioned the word Jing Ke, they couldn't help their blood rushing up. It's a pity that this strong man, the name Jing Ke, has gradually been remembered by the world with the passage of time, and the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty was spread all over the world. He has also been praised by the pity of the world, admired by the pity scholars, and remembered by countless heroes in the world.

However, when the world remembers and praises Jing Ke, they can't help mentioning a person who makes the world hate him so much. I don't know how many people heard about Jing Ke's deeds, wishing to overturn the table, smash the stove, and cut people with a sword .

That person is Qin General Bai Yan.

It's no wonder that the world is so angry. In the eyes of the world, if it weren't for Qin Jiang Bai Yan's obstruction, Jing Ke, who gave up his life and forgot to die, would have failed.

All in all, with the spread of Jing Ke's story in the world, Bai Yan's actions in the past are destined to make the world think of him as a treacherous person who loves and dislikes, and with prejudice, the story becomes more and more extreme, which also leads to even When the children were playing, all the children liked to beat down the boy dressed as Bai Yan together.

And in November.

Except for the news of the defeat of the Yan army in Yishui, the news of Yingchuan's rebellion also spread throughout the world. The final result is still unknown, but according to some well-informed people, the Qin State has ordered the nearest Lord Changping to After returning from Chu State, he went to Yingchuan to lead the army of Qin State to suppress the rebellion.

Also November.

In Yanmen in the north, in Shanwu City.

"What's the matter? Go and see!"

"what happened?"

On the street, the people along the way suddenly saw the border knights holding the edict, came to the street to post notices, and they gathered together in confusion.

"Throughout the ages, the barbarians in the north have never forgotten the scene of going south, killing the people of the Central Plains, taking my wife and daughter in the Central Plains, and burning, killing, and looting"

Before the edict was promulgated, a soldier on the frontier shouted loudly to the surrounding people, telling the content written on the edict one by one.

At first the people were still listening silently, but after hearing it later, they learned that the county lieutenant Bai Yan planned to train a group of children or teenagers who had been trained since childhood to defend against the Huns in the north in the future.

Hearing this, the quiet atmosphere suddenly became noisy.

"How is this possible?"

"Yes! Like my son, who is still young and has no strength to restrain a chicken, how can he practice it!"

"The one from the North City family, I have seen your family's man, but he is not as powerless as you said. Although he is young, he is very strong, unlike my boy, who is thin and weak. !"

"Go, go, when did you meet? That's obviously not my son, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I won't be polite to you!"

The people around Buzhao were more noisy than those in the bazaar. At a glance, they were mostly arguing.

Seeing this, the side riders looked a little impatient, and glanced at these people in front of them.

Finally, more and more people noticed the expressions of the border knights, and gradually became quiet, not daring to argue anymore.

While everyone was watching, the border knights glanced at them.

"The general has an order. This is all a personal choice. It is not a forced labor. I think that I may not have the chance to meet again in the future, so I don't force it. Those who are willing can go to the county government to register!"

After the side rider finished speaking, he turned and left.

Shanwu City.

In the county lieutenant's mansion, Bai Yan was in the study, dealing with things. Soon, the cold winter came, and the soldiers of the camp had to take care of their clothes and warmth.

"General, everyone has entered the territory of Yanmen!"

A soldier came to the study and reported to Bai Yan.

Hearing this, Bai Yan nodded, put the bamboo slips that he had just dealt with into the wooden box beside him, got up and led the soldiers towards the outside of the study.

in the yard.

Elder Wei, Zhao Qiu, and Bao Shi were all waiting in the courtyard.

A few days ago, Zhao Qiu had asked the maid to send Bai Yan's plan to Daidi in person, and the reason why she dismissed the maid was that Zhao Qiu planned to follow Bai Yan to the Yunzhong Mountains. Seeing the school that Bai Yan spent so much time building.

In Zhao Qiu's words, she also contributes, so she has to go and see.

Bai Yan naturally didn't mind about this.

"teacher!"

Bai Yan came in front of Mr. Wei, bowed his hands and bowed to Mr. Wei.

"Everything is packed, let's go!"

Elder Wei looked at Bai Yan, and said softly, all the wooden boxes containing bamboo slips in the yard, as well as some daily necessities, belonged to Elder Wei.

These all need to be taken to the Yunzhong Mountains. In the words of Wei Lao, since Wei Lao’s prestige called people, no matter what the school is, as the person in charge, he must live in the cloud in person. The mountains are the only ones, otherwise it is hard to feel at ease.

Moreover, as Zhao Qiu was suspected by Zhao Jia, and Tian Ding knew about Wei Lao's goodness in Yanmen, Wei Lao thought about it, and he might as well move to the Yunzhong Mountains to hide and get out of the chess game in the Central Plains. An outsider who has insight into the situation in the Central Plains can help Bai Yan better.

"Thank you teacher!"

Bai Yanman bowed to Wei Laoji again gratefully.

After the ceremony, he asked the servants to move all the things to the carriage.

a few days later.

In Woyang City, following Bai Yan and his carriage, they slowly drove into the gate of Woyang City, and the carriage soon stopped inside the gate.

When Bai Yan got off the carriage, he saw a group of old gentlemen who had been waiting for him.

"Woyang Xu, pay your respects to General Bai!"

"Woyang Huan, pay respects to General Bai!"

When a group of elders from the Woyang noble clan saw Bai Yan, they stepped forward one after another and saluted Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan has seen you all!"

Bai Yan returned the courtesy and said that Bai Yan was no stranger to the gentry in front of him. In the past, these gentry had contributed a lot to the ambush of the Xiongnu, and after the incident, he also borrowed money from these gentry, and gave the clothes and money promised by the soldiers first. Divide up.

"General, we have prepared bouillon at the house, general, please!"

The leader, Mrs. Xu, stepped forward, cupped his hands to Bai Yan, and invited Bai Yan to the mansion.

But before he finished speaking, Bai Yan raised his hand to decline.

"I'm not feeling well. I'm in a hurry today. I hope the elders will forgive me. Bai Yan will visit again in the future. I am grateful to the elders for their kindness in the past!"

Bai Yan said.

At this time, Hui Pu and Guan Shou, who had been waiting for a long time, came to Bai Yan and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan.

"General, this is the roster registered during this period of time!"

HP said to Bai Yan.

When Xu Shi, Huan Shi and other elders heard Bai Yan's words, they looked at each other in surprise. Although they all nodded, since Bai Yan was unwell and had something important to do, they naturally wouldn't continue to beg Bai Yan. Go to the banquet, and the future will be long.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan took the bamboo slips, and when he saw Mang came to him with a smile.

"How's the injury?"

Bai Yan asked, in the past in the Yunzhong Mountains, Bai Yan had no serious injuries. The main reason for this is that Mang has been protecting the surroundings, and Mang suffered quite a few cuts during the period.

"Back to the general! It's okay!!!"

Hearing Bai Yan's concerned question, Mang said with a smile.

Hei Pu and Guan Shou were not surprised to see this scene, even though he was a newcomer not long ago, but now Guan Jue has jumped three levels in a row and has become a hairpin.

Not to mention that Guan Shou saw Mang killing the Huns with his own eyes in the Yunzhong Mountains, even Hewlett-Packard had heard about Mang from the border riders. There was a shocking look in his eyes.

A strong man will be admired no matter where he is.

This is true in other vassal states, and even more so in border riding.

"Why so many people?"

After hearing what Mang said, Bai Yan nodded, but when he opened the bamboo slips and looked at the contents, he frowned.

Together with Shanwu City, there are very few registered children in other cities, which is expected by Bai Yan, but when he saw the number of children in Yan City, Bai Yan was very surprised.

More than 400 people, big and small!

The youngest, Bai Yan glanced at the bamboo slips, and finally confirmed that he was only six years old.

"General, most of them are Yancheng orphans!"

HP heard Bai Yan's doubts and explained softly.

In a word, everyone including Bai Yan, including Mang, Guan Shou and other generals, were all quiet.

Orphans!

People like Bai Yan and Guan Shou who went to the battlefield understand the meaning behind these two words better than anyone else.

As for a border knight soldier beside HP, he couldn't help but get wet eyes at this moment, recalling the scene of him taking people to Yancheng to issue the edict that day, he still remembers it vividly, and it is hard to forget.

"What about people?"

Bai Yan raised his head and looked at HP.

"General, at the north gate!!"

Hewlett-Packard said.

Bai Yan nodded, and after bidding farewell to the gentry from Woyang, he followed Hui Pu and the others to the north gate.

In the mountains in the clouds.

Under a fork in the road, walk along the dense forest, step over the overlapping peaks, and finally in the middle of a mountain, there are several very simple wooden houses.

"Is this the school you're talking about?"

Zhao Qiu followed Bai Yan all the way here, looking at Bai Yan out of breath.

This place is not a school, it is simply a place where one lives alone, and one would find it shabby. Compared with Qi State Jixia Academy, Zhao Qiu doubts whether what Bai Yan said in the past was a joke.

Return to school!
This doesn't look like a school at all!

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiu turned to look at Mr. Wei. After all, Mr. Wei wanted to live in this 'school'.

"The old man asked to come here at this time!"

When Old Wei saw Zhao Qiu's eyes, he looked at the wooden houses in front of him, and he didn't care at all. It was even better than what Old Wei expected before he came.

Under Zhao Qiu's gaze, Elder Wei stepped forward, and in some wooden houses, some old men and middle-aged men in common clothes who heard the movement had already walked out of the yard.

"This is the farmer, Gu Luan!"

"This is the Legalist, Shi Qi!"

Under Wei Lao's introduction, Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted each of the elderly people and those middle-aged men who were nearly fifty years old.

Taoism, Yin Yang School, Confucianism, Ming School.
Most of the individuals were acquaintances with Mr. Wei, and three of them were invited by Zhao Qiu.

And with the introduction of Wei Lao and Zhao Qiu, not only did Bai Yan know these people, but for these great Confucian scholars, it was only at this time that he saw with his own eyes, Bai Yan, the general of Qin that he had only heard about in rumors before!
Thinking of hearing many stories about him from other people all the time, and now seeing him in person, seeing this kind-faced, humble and polite Bai Yan in front of him, without exception, everyone would be a little confused, if they hadn't heard They couldn't believe what Old Wei said, even if they killed him, the young man in front of them was actually the famous general Bai Yan.

"Shi Qi and Gu Luan pay respects to General Bai!"

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Although in the past in the country of Yan, these great scholars had a very bad impression of Bai Yan, and with the incident between Yan Dan and Jing Ke, they were even more resistant to Bai Yan, but seeing Bai Yan's actions now, they don't. Who would take the initiative to deliberately thin Baiyan's face.

"Presumably this sword is the famous sword Zhanlu. I don't know if General Bai can take a look at it and fulfill his long-cherished wish!"

Shi Qi, who was already in his sixties, looked at the sword on Bai Yan's waist after the salute, couldn't help saluting again, and asked softly.

"Is it possible!"

When Bai Yan heard Shi Qi's words, he said indifferently, and raised his hand to return the salute. After the salute, he stretched out his hand to untie the sword at his waist, and handed it to Shi Qi with both hands.

Seeing this, Old Wei looked at Bai Yan's behavior with great satisfaction in his eyes. Although he invited these old friends over this time and let Bai Yan meet these old friends, but on the contrary, why not let these old friends see them? To see his lover.

With these old friends, the longest acquaintance has been for more than 30 years, and even the least one has been for more than ten years. Right now, he is accepting Bai Yan as a closed disciple, and Bai Yan's every move is naturally related to him.

"It really is a famous sword!"

Shi Qi's old hand, in the eyes of everyone, slowly pulled out the famous Zhanlu sword. When the sword blade appeared in everyone's eyes under the dark Cambridge, Shi Qi's old eyes couldn't help revealing a touch of Amazed, an instinctive sigh.

And other people are no exception, when they saw the famous sword Zhanlu with their own eyes, they were all amazed.

It is rumored that Yue King Goujian's saber is also a treasured sword, but those swords have long since disappeared, and Zhanlu, who is the head of the famous sword, can now see it with his own eyes, which can be regarded as a wish.

"Thank you!"

Shi Qi didn't pull out all of Zhanlu. As a Confucian elder, Shi Qi is clear and instinctive. Bai Yan's ability to entrust Zhanlu to him is Bai Yan's trust. not good.

It's better to take the last thing you haven't seen as a thought, which can be regarded as a lingering thought, and you will remember it more firmly in the future.

As Shi Qi returned the sword to Bai Yan with both hands, Bai Yan greeted it with both hands.

After doing all this, Shi Qi finally looked at Elder Wei, then at Bai Yan, and after a few breaths, continued to look at Elder Wei.

"Let's talk, call us, what can we do?"

Shi Qi asked Old Wei.

A group of other great Confucian scholars also looked at Wei Lao one after another.

And under the watchful eyes of everyone, Old Wei snorted, smacked his mouth, and moved slightly with his long beard.

"This kid is looking for you!"

In an instant, Old Wei returned everything to Bai Yan.

This scene caught Bai Yan a little off guard. When he saw everyone's eyes on him, Bai Yan could only laugh and raised his hand to salute everyone.

"It's just like what my teacher said, it was Bai Yan who invited all the elders to come here! Bai Yan"

Bai Yan clasped his hands while talking, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Wait, wait! Teacher?"

The old man Gu Luan suddenly widened his eyes when he heard Bai Yan's words, and looked at Elder Wei with a surprised face. The rest of the old men were not much better either, either with a look of astonishment, or looking at each other, full of surprise and puzzled Look at Old Wei.

what happened?Why did Old Man Wei, who never liked Qin, take Qin General Bai Yan as his apprentice?
Where did the scorching sun rise from?Still they didn't wake up, and their ears didn't work well.

"Ahem~! This old man will talk about this matter in detail in the future, let's listen to this kid first!"

Seeing the eyes of all his old friends, Mr. Wei coughed and said impatiently, motioning Bai Yan to continue.

Bai Yan saw the bewildered people and glanced at Old Wei before continuing to speak.

"Bai Yan invites you here today, not for any other reason, but to invite you to be good teachers for the people of the world!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

In front of the hut.

A group of elders Shi Qi, Gu Luan and the others looked at each other when they heard Bai Yan's words. They had heard the words of the world's virtuous master once, and that time was in Jixia Academy.

Hearing this sentence again now, thinking back on these days, the wooden frames placed in the many wooden houses behind them, they still don't understand what Bai Yan meant in front of them.

"You're looking for the wrong person! Besides, you can't represent the world!"

After Shi Qi learned that Bai Yan was Old Wei's disciple, although he didn't know the reason and process, and Wei Lao didn't explain it, but since he was Wei Lao's disciple, he didn't say those false words anymore, and spoke out what was in his heart without any explanation. Don't save face for Bai Yan.

Gu Luan and the others were silent. Looking at Bai Yan, many people shook their heads. Although they were old friends with Wei, they were unwilling to serve Qin.

Even if Bai Yan was old Wei's disciple, even if Bai Yan killed them, they would not obey Bai Yan.

on the other side.

Hearing Shi Qi's words, Old Wei sighed helplessly, this old friend is still straight-tempered.

Zhao Qiu and Bao Shi also looked at Bai Yan from the side.

Mang stared straight at Shi Qi, and there was already some anger in his eyes. Shi Qi, who was born in Legalism, had a straightforward temper, and Mang, who was born in a butcher, was even more violent.

"Old Shi's words are the truth, Bai Yan understands!"

When Bai Yan heard Shi Qi's words, he was not angry, but nodded in agreement with what Shi Qi said.

This kind of behavior surprised Gu Luan and the others, and even Shi Qi's old eyes flashed with surprise.

In the eyes of everyone, Bai Yan turned his head to let Mang leave. After Mang left, he turned his head to look at Shi Qi, with a hesitant expression on his face, and slowly cupped his hands.

"Since my benefactor invited you here, Bai Yan knows that you are all highly respected people who care about the world. However, Bai Yan has something to ask. I hope Mr. Shi can clarify your doubts. Who can represent the world in today's world? If there is someone, where is it?" where, where?"

Bai Yan asked.

Shi Qi and the others didn't want to answer Bai Yan's words, nor were they bothered to answer or argue. However, following the silence, when everyone shook their heads slightly, not far behind Bai Yan, Mang who had just left had returned again, but Along with it, there are many generals, and countless teenagers and children.

Seeing this scene, Shi Qi and the others were full of surprises.

And at this moment, Bai Yan's voice came.

"Bai Yan can't represent the world, but if Elder Shi and the elders are willing to lend a helping hand and be familiar with the teachings, they will be able to represent the world in ten years' time!"

When everyone looked over, they saw Bai Yan's unwavering eyes, looking straight at them.

"I'm hungry, eat something first!"

Seeing the expressions of Shi Qi, Gu Luan and the others, Mr. Wei vaguely showed a slack, not as blunt as before, so he interrupted. Mr. Wei knew better than Bai Yan that these old friends were stubborn, so naturally Mr. Wei could not be true. It's better to leave everything to Bai Yan, and Bai Yan has already done a good job right now.

"is teacher!"

Hearing Wei Lao's words, Bai Yan raised his hands to salute, and then saluted to Shi Qi, Gu Luan and others respectively.

After doing all this, Bai Yan asked the soldiers who had been staying here to take Wei Lao and others to eat, while Bai Yan left in no hurry, looked at the children of different heights behind him, and looked at those sincere eyes. Gougou looked at himself.

"Back off!"

Bai Yan gave a soft drink.

Following Bai Yan's words, it was surprising that all the children backed away slowly. Although they were not as well-trained as the soldiers of the army, all the children obeyed Bai Yan's words without hesitation.

This scene surprised Shi Qi, Gu Luan and the others, and they were very curious about what Bai Yan was planning to do.

And Bai Yan, in front of everyone's eyes, asked the soldiers to take out the long wooden planks that had been prepared, and then took off their official uniforms. After the soldiers came over with a small wooden bucket filled with ink, they tore off the fabric from the cuffs, In the eyes of everyone including Wei Lao, Shi Qi, Gu Luan, Zhao Qiu, Bao Shi, etc., they dipped the cloth with ink, walked to the wooden board, and began to write.

There are very few characters, a total of sixteen characters, and each block has only eight characters.

"If you don't work for the people, please go the other way!"

"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door!"
