At the end of the war, the bodies of all the soldiers were buried under the mountains.

The corpses of the Huns and the Yueshi were hastily dug a pit and all of them were filled, but all the heads were cut off and thrown together to form a small hill.

Quack~quack~!

Flocks of crows, all gathered on those heads at the moment, kept gnawing on the heads of those Huns.

In the past few days outside the canyon, these crows looked at the iron cavalry soldiers in the distance, although they were still vigilant, but they were obviously starting to slowly get used to it, at least for a certain distance, the crows would not fly away.

In the cold winter months.

Crows are birds that rarely migrate, and most of them spend their time in one place all year round when food is available.

"General, look!"

Ye followed Bai Yan's side, looking in the direction of the south.

Bai Yan turned his head to look, and then saw that a few days ago, in the direction that Meng Yu left in the south, under the mountain range, there seemed to be an army walking in the direction of Gaonu City.

Grunt~!

A moment later, several iron cavalry soldiers who had escorted Meng Yu to Yuzhong rode to Bai Yan on horseback.

Quack~!!

The crows scattered, and hundreds of crows flew into the sky in unison, and this scene could be seen clearly even from afar.

"General! General Hu, the county lieutenant, has escorted the people of Gaonu to Gaonu City! ”

After several iron cavalry soldiers dismounted, the leader came to Bai Yan and said, informing Bai Yan of the identity of the army behind him.

"Okay, I'll get over here!"

Bai Yan nodded, then turned his head to look at Huai: "Inform all the generals, all follow me to meet the county lieutenant!" ”

Although it is not the first time to meet Hu Jin, and Hu Jin is very close to him, and he has a relationship with the Bai family, Bai Yan is not an unreasonable person, in private, and now the other Qin soldiers and the people are there, when he sees Hu Jin, he must let everyone see his respect for Hu Jin.

Pass it out, it's good for him and for Hu Jin.

A moment later.

With the arrival of Chai and the others, Bai Yan led the iron cavalry generals and rode towards Gaonu City.

Gaonu City.

In a few days, the fire in the city of Gaonu has been completely extinguished, and it is said that it burns vigorously and burns quickly, under the combination of bundles of wood and water, but in a few days, the city is full of ashes.

The dense Gaonu people, with their wives and children, walked back to Gaonu City again, like a sea of people and a long dragon.

The people who came to the city gate first looked at the ashes in the city, and even though they were prepared, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Before leaving, this city was one of the three major cities in Shangjun, and now when I came back, I saw that the city had been burned clean.

"Look, the corpses!"

"Hiss~ a lot, all of them!"

"Good burn!"

Looking at the charred corpses looming under the ashes, although a common man was a little scared, but more, he was still happy, even the woman was no exception.

Because it's clear to all.

If it weren't for this fire, the fate of their people would have been even worse.

Therefore, even when they saw the houses burned, for the people, they could not help but applaud when they saw the countless corpses under the ashes on the ground.

As long as the people are still there, the house can be rebuilt.

Not far away.

Hu Jin, under the escort of his cronies, turned over and dismounted, looked at the ground, and could still see the traces of the bloody battle.

Looking at Gaonu City in the distance, it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Hu Jinfang was down-to-earth at this moment.

The last time he said goodbye in Gaonu City, even he didn't expect that Bai Yan would have a bloody battle with the 150,000 troops of the Yueshi and the Xiongnu in Gaonu.

Thinking that Bai Yan really repelled 150,000 northerners with only more than 10,000 iron horses!

"Bai Yu, Bai Yu! Before you fell into a coma, you didn't worry about this kid, and you didn't hesitate to write to me and Sima Xing to take care of it! Hehe~! ”

Hu Jin muttered and couldn't help but chuckle.

When Bai Yu was ambushed and poisoned, what he was most worried about was that Bai Yan would not be able to control the Bai Iron Horse.

Looking at this battlefield right now, looking at the city of Gaonu in the distance, and finally looking to the north.

"That kid is even better than me!"

Hu Jin sighed, staring at the north, imagining if he was facing the situation of 150,000 troops going south, whether he could do it like Bai Yan.

Even he could only shake his head.

Not to mention the rare burning of the city, as well as the five hundred carriages, these two keys to victory, even if he is Hu Jin, he has to applaud.

After this time, Yueshi and Lin Hu will never believe in the Xiongnu again.

Unless, the Huns could fill the empty crates with gold and replace the sacks of soil with corn.

But if the Xiongnu can do it, how can they go south!

The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to say 'color'.

It can be said that the 500 carriages not only exchanged for the peace of the entire Shangjun, but also laid the groundwork for revenge in the future.

Grunt~!

As the horse's hooves approached, Hu Jin turned his head and looked at the young man who was hurrying over.

"Gaonu City, the city guards Bai Yan, I have seen General Hu!"

Bai Yan came to Hu Jin, turned over and dismounted, and saluted him.

Behind Bai Yan, a famous iron cavalry general also bowed to Hu Jin.

"You're welcome!"

Hu Jin's gaze swept over a famous iron cavalry general, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"Hurt? Let me see! ”

Hu Jin stepped forward and looked at Bai Yan, who was a little pale.

"It's fine!"

Bai Yan smiled, but his words, obviously Hu Jin didn't believe it at all.

And when Hu Jin saw the wound on Bai Yan's shoulder, he took a cool breath.

The last time he was in Yangcheng, Hu Jin didn't see Bai Yan so seriously injured.

"Bring the doctor!"

Hu Jin hurriedly turned his head.

A moment later, several Qin pawns, with an elderly doctor, came to Bai Yan and showed Bai Yan the wound on his shoulder.

"There are also many soldiers who have been injured, and they need to be helped by the tired doctors to take a look."

Bai Yan said softly, and did not refuse the doctor to help him look at the wound.

After the bloody battle, Bai Yan could only tear off the blood-stained clothes to stop the bleeding, and as the main general, he had to deal with the aftermath one by one, and he had not rested for several days.

Bai Yan also understood that his wounds were not very good, but in the canyon, there were all seriously injured soldiers, how could he, as the main general, ride a horse to Yuzhong.

Moreover, his injuries were not to the point of endangering his life.

"General rest assured!"

The doctor nodded, and then looked at Bai Yan's wound carefully.

For the young General Bai in front of him, aside from his identity, in the eyes of the doctor, this General Bai and those soldiers are the great benefactors who saved Shangjun, and he is old, so he will naturally do his best to treat those soldiers.

Now.

Hu Jin on the side looked at Bai Yan and listened to Bai Yan's words.

Not to mention Hu Jin, even Chai, Yanmao and other iron cavalry generals are very helpless.

Bai Yan was thinking about the soldiers almost all the time.

"I know that your kid feels sorry for the soldiers under your command, and I have brought all the doctors in Yuzhong to Gao Nu."

Hu Jin said to Bai Yan and said with a smile.

Don't look at the fact that he has known Bai Yan for less than half a year, but he knows the heart of Bai Yan, a kid, and Qin Pawn, who is like a mustard in the eyes of others, is different in the eyes of this kid.

However, Hu Jin can also understand, maybe it is like this, the soldiers of the Bai Iron Cavalry follow this kid without regrets.

Look at the wound.

Just as Bai Yan and Hu Jin were talking about how to settle the people.

Some people in the distance suddenly came not far away and asked a few Qin soldiers.

When they learned that the young man was Bai Yan, several old men suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted at Bai Yan.

"Qianshan Village, the people of the whole village, thank General Bai for saving his life!"

"Yunshan Village, thank General Bai for saving your life!"

Accompanied by the words of several old men, all the people behind these old men, regardless of men, women, old and young, all knelt down in front of Bai Yan.

Compared with the time when they were in Yuzhong, they saw with their own eyes when the county guard ordered to stick to Yuzhong, regardless of the life and death of the people in other places around them.

Only then did they realize how good General Bai, whom they had complained about countless times!

"Thank you, General Bai, for saving your life!"

"Thank you, General Bai, for saving your life!!"

As more and more villagers knelt down, both the surrounding villagers and the people in the city knelt on the ground.

From the hasty departure at the beginning, to the news of the Xiongnu's southward movement, at this moment, looking at the corpses of countless Yueshi people in the city, all the Gaonu people thanked Bai Yan for saving his life.

Everyone knew that if it weren't for Bai Yan, those corpses in the city would be them.

"You boy is a blessing in disguise! At a young age, he was deeply loved by the people! ”

Hu Jin looked at it, and tens of thousands of people knelt down, and this scene was particularly shocking.

Then even Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan with envy.

Not to mention that at Bai Yan's age, even for so many years, one is counted as one, and he has never seen a few officials in the entire Qin State who are so loved by the people.

The last official I saw who was deeply loved by the people was the old general Teng of Nanyang!

But how old is General Teng, how old is Bai Yan, this kid!

However, Hu Jin also knows that Bai Yan is worth it!

At the beginning, Bai Yan did not hesitate to bear heavy responsibilities, regardless of the misunderstanding of others, he ordered the people to be moved, and then stayed in Gaonu to fight bloody and to the death, and resisted the danger of Shangjun with his own strength.

This is really envied by ordinary people, and they can't do it.

"General, this blessing is really not what Bai Yan wants!"

Bai Yan smiled bitterly.

If the Xiongnu and Yueshi were just normal southward raids, then he could accept the death of the soldiers, after all, the soldiers guarded the country, died in battle, and died well.

But the reason why the Yue clan and the Xiongnu went south was because of him.

The reason why he has always felt guilty about these things for those soldiers who died in battle.

He Bai Yan likes merit, and he also entered Qin for the sake of Qin Gong.

But this time, if possible, as the main general of the iron cavalry, he would rather the Xiongnu and Yueshi not go south.

"If you kid spread this, you know how many officials will be angry!"

Hu Jin was stunned when he heard Bai Yan's words, and then looked at Bai Yan with a smile and scolded.

In Hu Jin's eyes, Bai Yan's words were somewhat unscrupulous.

"I'll get them up!"

Bai Yan knew that there was no way to explain, so he didn't continue, but walked towards the people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Old man!"

Bai Yan helped several respected old men up, and then looked at the people behind him: "Get up!" Bai Yan is just doing his duty, what he really wants to be grateful for is those soldiers who fought bloodily, if it weren't for them fighting to the death and not retreating, the county would be in danger! ”

Bai Yan's voice fell, but where would the people listen, after all, the people are not stupid.

The soldiers fought a bloody battle and retreated from the enemy, and the people were of course grateful in their hearts, but what the people were more grateful was Bai Yan.

"General, when we were in Yuzhong City, we all knew about the general's trip to Yuzhong that day! We were able to survive because the general did not care about his crimes. ”

An old man looked at Bai Yan with an excited tone.

The old man's words made a famous person behind him all red-eyed.

Because they all knew that the reason why they were still alive was because Bai Yan ignored the punishment and risked the resignation of his official position and his guilt, and privately ordered them to move.

"Old man, get up first!"

Bai Yan said again.

Subsequently, it took a long time for Bai Yan to calm the excited emotions of these people.

The next two days.

Gaonu City, or Gaonu.

Because there are bamboo slips sent by Hu Jin, which registers the area of the people's fields, so under Bai Yan's arrangement, the people of Gaonu City have begun to build wooden houses.

After all, building the city wall is not a day's work, and the immediate priority is to provide the people with a place to live.

Hu Jin returned to Yuzhong City on the second day.

After all, as a county lieutenant, it was impossible for Hu Jin to stay in Gaonu for long.

However, before leaving, Hu Jin instructed Bai Yan three things.

First, Li Pingyan will definitely find an opportunity to set up a banquet to entertain Bai Yan, and when the time comes, Bai Yan must go to appreciate his face, Li Pingyan is the history of the imperial guard, and there may be people who ask for help in the future.

Second, as more and more merits are made, while titles, official positions, and rights are promoted, other nobles and magnates will follow.

Although the powerful and noble families do not bribe with money, but beauty and the like, are indispensable all the time, if they keep refusing, they will inadvertently offend others, so that they make enemies inexplicably, and sometimes they have to be flexible.

Just like those generals in the same court, the one who is not a beautiful concubine or a beautiful servant who accepts gifts from the scholars, this is not only beneficial to connections, but more importantly, the higher the power of the general, the more flaws need to be, too perfect, not necessarily a good thing.

Third, in the previous imperial history, Cheng Meng talked about this war in his words, which was quite praised.

If he hadn't guessed, it was likely that news would come from Xianyang soon, and this time, in addition to the reward, Xianyang would probably let Bai Yan rush back to Xianyang.

Meet the current king!

"General!"

On the plains, Yan Mao came to Bai Yan with lunch, looked at Bai Yan in a trance, and said several times before Bai Yan came back to his senses.

"Ahh

Bai Yan hurriedly looked at Yan Mao, and then took the lunch.

At this moment, Bai Yan still hasn't come back to his senses from Hu Jin's words.

Thinking that it was likely that after a while, he would go back to Xianyang and meet the king.

Bai Yan was nervous and a little excited, looking forward to more.

He was originally the son of a common man in the Qi country, and now that he has come to the Qin country, he is likely to meet the king of a country, how can he not be nervous.

What's more, that is the man who will dominate the world in the future and create a foundation for all generations: an emperor through the ages, Yingzheng!

When he was in Qi State, he was ridiculed by others since he was a child, and no one believed that he could be successful at that time, only his grandmother kept telling others that his grandson would be a general.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan really couldn't wait to run in front of his grandmother like when he was a child.

Then he told his grandmother that the king of a country was going to summon him.

Also, the father and mother who are far away in the Qi country, the eldest brother!

Owe a watch! It's too late to update, insomnia, resulting in irregular schedules, sorry, readers!
