Chapter 593: Old Men and Strong, Old Lady Bai
Jian Yong waved his hand and laughed: "It's okay, when I fought with His Royal Highness in the four fields, how many winds and waves have I never seen?" How can I endure day and night? ”
Zhao Yun suddenly arched his hand and said: "Although the lord is a scribe, he has such courage, I admire it!" ”
Jian Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "But I don't deserve such praise from General Zhao, we are all serving His Highness, in order to establish a truly peaceful world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer have to endure the pain of war, and they can also avoid the pain of being separated from their wives and families..."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun also sighed with emotion, and said to Jian Yong: "This is exactly the responsibility of my generation of martial artists!" ”
Jian Yong smiled slightly, stroking his beard and head.
Everyone hurried and finally arrived at the county where the Bai Qi clan was located, and before that, Zhao Yun had already sent an envoy to inform the county, and the old lady of the Bai clan also sent the Bai clan relatives to wait outside the city gate.
Jian Yong got off the war horse with difficulty with the support of the guards, although what he said on the way was quite righteous and awe-inspiring, but for Jian Yong, a scribe who had not fought with the army for several years, the inner thighs had already been worn out.
However, Jian Yong represents Liu De, the Duke of Han, although it is inconvenient to walk, but he can't lose his momentum, but obviously the Bai family did not underestimate this Lord Jian.
The specifications for welcoming Jian Yong are very high.
Bai Zhan, the youngest son of the old lady of the Bai family, was waiting outside the city in person, and when he saw Jian Yong, who was a little sluggish, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said to Jian Yong: "Bai Zhan, please see Master Jian!" ”
"General Bai, please get up!"
Although Jian Yong was not formal, of course he knew the proportions on some important occasions, and hurriedly held Bai Zhan's arm and responded.
Bai Zhan looked at the scribe in front of him and knew that this person was the most trusted confidant of Liu De, the Duke of Han, and even Liu De's clan relatives were not so important.
Bai Zhan apologized to Jian Yong and said, "Lord Jian, my father is eighty years old this year, and he has difficulty moving, so he was unable to go out of the city to greet the adults in person, and I ask for your understanding." ”
"Bai Gong is an elder, how can there be a reason for elders to welcome juniors?"
Jian Yong said: "I should go down to visit Bai Gong, and ask General Bai to guide the way." ”
"Your Excellency, please!"
Bai Zhan invited Jian Yong.
Then he led Jian Yong and Zhao Yun to Baifu, and Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong also set up camp outside the city by the city wall.
Bai Zhan couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw that Bai Ma Yi was in the army, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart, so he said to Zhao Yun: "The soldiers under General Zhao's command are strictly disciplined, and I really admire them. ”
"Don't dare to be!"
Zhao Yun also praised him: "Speaking of which, Bai Ma Yi's first chief official is Bai Dudu, Bai Dudu is good at training, and the military discipline is clear, and he is just Yu Ze by Bai Dudu!" ”
"I see!"
Bai Zhan said suddenly.
When Bai Zhan led Jian Yong and Zhao Yun into the mansion, he met a woman with several maids walking over with swaddling clothes.
When the woman saw Bai Zhan, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Fourth Young Master! ”
"Zhao Nanniang."
Bai Zhan bowed slightly, leaned over, teased the baby doll, and waved his hand to let the woman leave.
Jian Yong stepped forward and said, "Isn't this child the heir of a general?" ”
Bai Zhan looked at Jian Yong, who was a little curious, and explained, "This is my fifth brother, just two years old!" Born a little frail. ”
Jian Yong was in a trance for a while, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at the woman's departing figure again, then he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Bai Gong is really old and strong!" ”
Bai Zhan could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
His father is really strong in this regard, and he is often teased by his friends because of this.
Jian Yong and Zhao Yun followed Bai Zhan to the lobby, and Bai Xun, the eighty-year-old old lady of the Bai family, stood up tremblingly with the help of others on crutches to greet him.
"Bai Gong, the junior Jian Yong is polite!"
Jian Yong and Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to bow.
Regardless of whether Bai Xun has a junior like Bai Qi who serves as the governor of a place, Bai Xun's eighty-year-old age alone is enough for the two of them to perform the junior ceremony.
The people took their seats, and the maid served them tea, and then withdrew.
Although Bai Xun is old and his legs and feet are a little inconvenient, his speech is still clear, and he introduced the situation in Xizhou to Jian Yong and the others.
Bai Xun said: "At the beginning, Cao Thief coerced a large number of Zhongzhou people to Xizhou, which also made the people in Xizhou increase dramatically, but Xizhou did not have so much food to relieve these people.
And like the county, the county family can only protect themselves according to the city, until General Baili led the soldiers and horses to pacify the thieves, unify the entire Xizhou, and appoint the local family as the county guard, the county order, the only requirement is that we support the soldiers, grain and grass, of course we know what kind of situation it is if the Dafan people enter Xizhou, so we spare no effort to support General Baili, and General Baili is only responsible for guarding the border, and the government affairs of Xizhou are completely taken care of by the family. ”
Jian Yong frowned, but he didn't want Xizhou to completely become the Xizhou of the family because of the indulgence of Baili Cloud, in this case, I am afraid it will not be good for Han Gong!
Jian Yong then asked Bai Xun: "In this way, wouldn't the county guards and county commanders who have ambitions take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?" ”
Bai Xun said: "Jian Shangshu is too worried, Xizhou is remote, sparsely populated, and there are not many counties, and the young and strong parts of the city are all serving the Baili generals, even if they have ambitions, they can't organize soldiers and horses, what's the use of relying on those young people in the city who can barely maintain law and order?" ”
"That's good!"
Jian Yong nodded.
Then everyone began to talk about the topic, Bai Xun took out the letter and said: "What Bai Qi said, the old man has already understood, and my Bai family is willing to help Han Gong and persuade General Baili to return to Han Gong." ”
Jian Yong waved his fist and said: "This is really good, then Bai Gong can talk about General Baili's temperament in detail with Zaixia, and he will send an envoy to the Western Army." ”
"Don't hide it from Lord Jane!"
Bai Xun shook his head and sighed: "The Western Army, even including Xizhou, is encouraged to maintain, relying on the support of Xizhou alone, it can only maintain 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Army, but the area defended is too wide, and the harassment and invasion of the Dafan people are also increasing sharply every day.
General Baili is getting older and older, and he is becoming more and more powerless, and some people mentioned returning to the Duke of Han or Wei, or even Yizhou Mu and Jiangzhou Mu, which made General Baili angry, but now General Baili is not saying anything, the Western Army is indeed relatively poor, and the soldiers are not much, this is still the result of Xizhou's full support...."
Bai Xun finally added: "Jian Shangshu is now on an envoy, and with the help of the old son to contact the generals to persuade him, it is possible to persuade General Baili to return to His Royal Highness the Duke of Han, but General Baili may have some requirements..."
Jian Yong raised his head and asked, "What requirements?" ”
