Chapter 279: The Subtle Beginning (4K)
Zhao Guobai.
In a suburb outside the city, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages tied to Bai Su were parked in the middle of the road.
On one of the carriages, there is a huge coffin parked, the coffin is carved with delicate stripes, and dozens of men, women and children are all standing on the left and right at this moment.
And it's not far away.
On the official road, many scholars gathered on both sides of the road.
"If it weren't for the villain, Wu Anjun wouldn't have died~!"
"Woo woo woo~! The sky is long, the soul is soulful~ You can see Wu Anjun~! ”
Looking at the coffin on the carriage, many scholars knelt on the road, weeping bitterly, and mourning in their mouths was the word Wu Anjun.
Obviously, in that coffin, what was placed was Zhao Wu Anjun and Li Mu!
A moment later.
A group of iron cavalry suddenly drove slowly in the distance, and the iron cavalry soldiers were all dressed in Qin armor, holding the black flag of Qin, and the bows and crossbows equipped on the war horses were the equipment of the elite iron cavalry.
This scene made many people from the scholar clan on the official road who were watching get out of the way.
"Why are all the Qin Iron Cavalry here?"
"Don't you know? The reason why Wu Anjun Li Mu's corpse can return to his hometown is that Qin General Bai Yan, after breaking the well in the past, he couldn't bear to expose Wu Anjun Li Mu's corpse to the wilderness, so he asked General Yifang and others to return to Bairen with the corpse! ”
"Qin General Bai Yan? Isn't he a Qin man? ”
"Alas, even the Qin people know that Li Mu is not guilty, and the Qin people pity him!"
The men of the noble tribe gathered together and reasoned among themselves.
When Li Mu was alive, they more or less went to the Li family to make friends, and now although Li Mu is dead, as long as they do not offend the Qin State, they are willing to see Li Mu off to show respect and have a good reputation.
On the official road.
The iron cavalry soldiers came to the carriage, and the iron cavalry generals led by them stepped forward.
"Taifu!"
The iron cavalry general turned over and dismounted, and then came to an old man with pale hair, and bowed to the old man.
The old man's name is Li Ji, the word Boheng, the father of Li Mu.
And the old man has other identities, the former Taifu of the Qin State, and the younger brother of Li Chong, the county guard of Longxi County of the Qin State.
Although Li Ji has already retired to Zhao State and does not ask about the world, where are the former qualifications, the iron cavalry generals do not dare to be sloppy.
"Taifu, we are ordered by General Bai Yan to escort General Li Mu's coffin all the way!"
The iron cavalry general said to the old man Li Ji.
"There is labor!"
When Li Ji heard the words of the iron cavalry general, he bowed his hand slightly: "In the future, Li Ji will definitely go to Xianyang in person to thank King Qin's kindness!" ”
Li Ji looked at these iron horses in front of him, he used to be the Taifu of Qin, where he didn't know, it was impossible for Xianyang to approve it so quickly.
I'm afraid this move is just the intention of that Qin general Bai Yan.
Come to think of it.
Even Li Ji couldn't help but sigh with emotion: I have a heart!
But Li Ji didn't want to owe Bai Yan to the Bai family, and he would naturally go to Xianyang in the future for today's events.
"Let's go!"
Li Ji turned his head, looked at his eldest son Li Yun, and his third son Li Qi, and commanded.
Seeing this, the family members of Li Mu, who were wearing linen and filial piety behind Li Ji, all lined up on both sides of the carriage and followed the coffin in the direction of Quwo.
"Let's go!"
On the other side, the iron cavalry generals also led the iron cavalry soldiers to escort the carriages on both sides of the road.
Two days later.
Jing Chen.
Bai Yan was in the camp, and suddenly the herald hurriedly delivered a letter to him.
In the tent, Bai Yan took the letter and looked at it, and put it down after a while.
The Yueshi and the Xiongnu have ceased war!
According to the news, before the armistice, Yan sent an envoy Yan Xu to the grassland to meet the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
Bai Yan was a little curious, what method Xun Shuo used, which actually made the world think that the truce between the Yue clan and the Xiongnu was a means used by Yan Guo behind the scenes.
"General, Yifang, HP, Yu and the three of them, take Li Yun and Li Qi to see!"
Yan Mao approached the tent at this time and said to Bai Yan.
Hearing this, Bai Yan nodded.
"Good! Come out with me and see you! ”
Bai Yan got up and walked towards the outside of the camp with Yan Mao.
When I came to the outside of the camp, I saw two middle-aged men standing next to Yifang, HP, Yu and the three.
"Li Yun, meet General Bai Yan!"
"Li Qi, meet General Bai Yan!!"
When the middle-aged man saw Bai Yan, he hurriedly bowed his hand.
Yifang, Hewlett-Packard, Yu and the three of them looked at Bai Yan with complicated faces, and did not speak, just a simple ceremony.
After all, the three of them were once Zhao generals and Li Mu's subordinates, and now although Li Mu is dead, the three of them are still not Qin generals.
"I've seen you!"
Bai Yan bowed to a few people.
"Thank you General Bai for the burial! I, the Li family, will definitely remember the kindness of the general! ”
Li Yun said to Bai Yan.
Looking at the young Bai Yan in front of him, Li Yun knew that even if Bai Yan was Li Mu's opponent before his death, he was the master of each other.
After Li Mu's death, Bai Yan did not cut off Li Mu's head, did not let Li Mu's body be taken to invite merit, but let Li Mu be buried.
Everything Bai Yan did, they all saw it in their eyes.
Therefore, when passing by Jingcheng now, his father Li Ji specially asked the two brothers to come to the Qin army camp to see Bai Yan and express their gratitude.
Li Mu is Zhao Guowu Anjun, Li Mu was Li Mu's family member, and it was indeed inappropriate to come to the Qin army, but Bai Yan's behavior was enough to make them let go of their previous identities.
"General Li Mu previously sheltered the Zhao State and the entire Central Plains from the invasion of the Xiongnu, but now Bai Yan's move is not a good idea."
Bai Yan saluted Li Yun.
Bai Yan's words made Yu He and HP on the side think of when Li Mu was still alive, and when they remembered Li Mu's appearance, their eyes instantly turned red.
Outside the camp.
After talking for a while, Li Yun and Li Qi said goodbye to Bai Yan and wanted to continue to send Li Mu's coffin north until Quwo.
At this time, Bai Yan knew that Li Mu's wife had said that Li Mu often said before his death that if he died in battle one day, he hoped to be buried near Quwo.
Under Bai Yan's gaze.
Li Yun and Li Qi saluted Yifang, HP, Yu and the three of them, and after the three of Yifang returned the salute, they looked at the three of them with worry, and then Li Yun turned around and left.
Bai Yan looked at the three people who stayed behind.
When the three of Yifang saw Bai Yan's gaze, they didn't care.
"Kill the three of us!"
Yifang said to Bai Yan.
"You could have let the three of us go before, let the three of us escort Wu Anjun's body back to the Bai people, we are already content, you are the Qin general, let the three of us leave without permission, there will always be villains in the Qin court to grab the handle, the three of us don't want to owe you!" Give us a sword, we just want to have a good time! ”
After Yifang finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yan.
HP, Yu and the two also stood in place, and came back today in order not to owe Bai Yan kindness.
Previously, they left, not to survive, but to send back the body of Wu Anjun Li Mu, but now that the matter has been done, they have nothing to worry about, and they want to kill themselves in front of Bai Yan, so that Bai Yan can get the head of the three of them.
"Bai Yan has not yet received my king's order, how to place the three generals, it is not yet known! Why did the three generals die? ”
Bai Yan looked at the three people who were determined to die.
The reason why he let Ye release people after raiding Zhao Guo's camp was more about the fact that with Li Mu's prestige, Li Mu's body must be disposed of.
And the person who was tied up by Zhao Cong is most likely Li Mu's cronies, plus there are details in Zhao Ying to do internal response, as long as the karma is confirmed, they can be released.
From the beginning, Bai Yan knew very well that as long as he was Li Mu's cronies, after he was released, no matter whether these people ran away or not, he would be able to win a good reputation and take the opportunity to appease Zhao Bianqi.
Now that the three of them have returned voluntarily, Bai Yan is also happy to see it.
However, at this time, Bai Yan didn't want these three people to kill themselves here.
"Bai Yan, the three of us will not be loyal to the Qin State!"
Yifang heard Bai Yan's words and said softly.
Yifang more or less, probably guessed what Bai Yan was thinking, so he whispered to Bai Yan, even if they are alive, they will not serve the Qin State.
"Bai Yan doesn't force the three!"
Bai Yan heard Yifang's words and said with a smile.
A moment later.
Bai Yan looked at Yifang, Hewlett-Packard, Yu and the three of them, and did not rush to let the three of them escort in, but stood in place, looking at the well in the distance.
Looking at the Li family's funeral team, they slowly walked on the road leading from Jingcheng to the north.
"Send another team of iron cavalry to escort the people of the Li family!"
Bai Yan turned his head and said to Yan Mao.
"No!"
Yan Mao nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Yan Mao naturally noticed the gaze of the three people in Yifang, and with a glance at each other, Yan Mao didn't stay long, turned around and left to arrange.
Bai Yan looked at Yan Mao's departing back, and looked at the coffin in the Li family's carriage in the distance.
"Thank you!"
Yu He's slightly heavy voice came from beside him, but Bai Yan didn't care.
A moment later.
A group of cavalry, galloping out of the camp on horseback, hurried into the distance.
The three of them knelt on the ground towards the coffin in the distance, and kept kowtowing until the coffin team disappeared into the well pass in the distance.
Bai Yan also turned around at this time and walked towards the camp.
Inside the camp.
Bai Yan returned to the camp and continued to deal with important matters.
General Wang Jian has already led a large army to Handan and besiege Handan.
Qiang and Meng Tian went north to attack other cities.
Now in the key pass of Jingcheng, he led the iron cavalry to guard the town, and with it, there were tens of thousands of Zhao Bian cavalry.
Although General Wang Jian led most of his troops and horses to Handan, he only had the iron cavalry under his command.
But Bai Yan was not worried that Zhao Bianqi would take the opportunity to make trouble.
After Li Mu's death, Li Mu's subordinates were already cold, and in the absence of weapons and generals, Zhao Bianqi had no intention of resisting.
Not to mention that the grain and grass of tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi are all supplied by the Qin army, once there is a rebellion, tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi will only be starved to death at that time.
Not to mention that Handan has no time to take care of itself, even other places have no way to take out grain and millet.
September.
Bai Yan was still guarding Jingcheng, and at this time, the news of Xianyang was finally delivered to him.
There were two messages, one from the palace and one from the Bai family.
The news from the palace was an order given to him by Ying Zheng, and in the letter, Ying Zheng agreed to his request, and according to his plan, tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi were escorted by him, and the Zhao Bianqi were relocated to Yanmen, and when they subdued the Hetao in the future, they all migrated to the Hetao to open up the wasteland.
The second message from the Bai family was written by Bai Yu.
In the letter, Bai Yu told him that he was a great merit in breaking the well, and that the king was happy in the past, and on the day of the destruction of Zhao, the king and the queen mother might go to Handan, and then he might have to lead the iron cavalry back to Xianyang to escort the king and the queen mother to Handan.
Two messages.
After Bai Yan finished reading it, he put away the bamboo slips.
Bai Yan was not surprised by the first news, after all, General Wang Jian was also helping him in dealing with Zhao Bianqi.
To Bai Yan's surprise, there was a second piece of news from Bai Yu.
It was only at this time that Bai Yan vaguely remembered one thing, that is, Qin Wang Yingzheng grew up in Handan when he was a child, and the relationship between Qin and Zhao was bad at that time.
This time, Ying Zheng is coming, I am afraid that he will wash some people in Handan with blood.
The reason why Bai Yuzai wrote to him was probably to remind him of this matter.
"Is this what you want me to do?"
Bai Yan looked at the letter, his brows furrowed slightly.
Bai Yan didn't care about killing some people, he could get to this day, and he didn't know how many lives he had, and there were countless people who died because of him.
What really made Bai Yan care was that Bai Yu specially reminded him of this matter.
This is related to Yingzheng's youth, and more than 20 years have passed since now.
What the hell did Bai Yu want to remind.
"The Queen Mother?"
Bai Yan's brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't figure it out.
Regarding the relationship between the Queen Mother and the immediate King of Qin, Bai Yan has always been very taboo.
When I went to Handan before, I didn't have extra time to inquire about what I had experienced between the Empress Dowager of Zhao and the king.
Now Bai Yu's bamboo slip specially mentions this matter.
"Take one step at a time, if you really go back to Qin State, ask Bai Yu when the time comes!"
Bai Yan shook his head, got up slowly, and then left the camp with his sword.
After walking out of the camp, Bai Yan ordered all the generals to gather.
Inside the camp.
Under the gaze of Yifang and the others, they soon saw the Qin army's iron cavalry, and suddenly began to assemble all of them, which was obviously an important action.
"Come out, everyone is ready to go!"
"Come out! I'm going to hurry! ”
All the soldiers of Zhao Bian were also pressed into the camp by the iron cavalry soldiers.
At this moment, all the Zhao Bian riders had no weapons, and even the armor disappeared, replaced by a cloth coat.
"You're going to escort us there?"
"I don't know! Didn't you go to Qin to do conscription? ”
"I don't know!!"
In the camp, countless Zhao Bianqi's eyes were full of confusion, and with the hustle and bustle around them, everyone looked around.
If they could, no one would want to do conscription, especially the conscription of the Qin State.
But as pawns of the defeated army, they have no choice at the moment.
If they really want to go to conscription, for them, not to go is to die, and there is hope to live.
In fact, they also knew that according to the normal situation, they would have been escorted to the Qin State to serve in forced labor.
The reason why they can still stay here now is that I heard that it is the reason why Qin will Bai Yan go to the book.
"General, can you tell us where you're going?"
Yifang, Hewlett-Packard and others saw some soldiers pretending to have the courage to ask Qin Pawn.
As a result, Qin Pawn also shook his head.
Looked at.
Yifang and the others glanced at each other.
After waiting for a long time, Yifang and the others were in the sea of people riding on Zhao Bian, and finally saw Bai Yan slowly walking up on the platform in the distance.
"By the King's command! You are going to Yanmen, build a canal, and open up wasteland! ”
On the podium, Bai Yan's faint voice came.
And Bai Yan's words instantly made the entire Zhao country a sensation.
"What, is it going to Yanmen? Didn't you go to the Qin State to serve in the conscription? ”
"It's really Yanmen! That's great! No need to leave your hometown!! ”
"Yanmen! Go to Yanmen to repair the canal! That's great!! ”
In the crowd, after hearing Bai Yan's words, the dense figures all talked to each other, their faces full of excitement.
As a Zhao person, no one wants to leave Zhao State, let alone leave Zhao State to serve as a conscription.
Now that they heard Qin General Bai Yan's words, they could not be excited.
In the midst of a sea of people.
Yifang, HP, Yu He and other generals looked at the scene around them at the moment, and then couldn't help but look at the figure on the platform in the distance.
Of course, they all know why Zhao Bianqi can go to Yanmen to serve as a servant!
Bring a knife and kneel down to thank you for your tickets!
Kneel and kowtow!
Kowtow to all the big guys, it's not good to have a knife, and if it's good, you must make up for what you owe.
