A few days later.

Yanmen.

When Bai Yan led the army to Yanmen, Meng Tian and Qiang had already taken all the cities in Yanmen.

said that it was taken, but in fact, a long time ago, Yanmen's troops had been emptied, and its main force was Zhao Bianqi, who was now escorted by Bai Yan.

After Li Mu transferred Zhao Bianqi away, there were basically only some old, weak, sick and disabled people stationed in Yanmen, plus the impact of drought and natural disasters, Handan did not send food assistance, and the only remaining old, weak, sick and disabled in Yanmen had died almost.

When Bai Yan arrived at Yanmen.

What Li Mu left him, or what Zhao Guo left him, was only the devastated territory, and the city was fine, but in those villages outside the city, there was no half a figure, and ten rooms and nine were empty.

Woyang, Zhongling, Yinguan, Loufu, Wuzhou, Juyang, Lao, Pingcheng, Li

After passing through one city after another, and finally arrived at Yanmen County, the capital of Shanwu.

There is no city of goodness.

Because there were so many soldiers and horsemen, all of them flooded into the city and caused unnecessary disturbances.

So Bai Yan asked Chai to settle the soldiers and soldiers, and he hurried to the mansion and began to check what was still in Yanmen County, or what was left.

Inside the city.

came to the county guard mansion, as the former Li Mu's mansion, but now after being captured by the Qin army, it has been cleaned by the maids and servants in the mansion.

Under the leadership of the guards, Bai Yan came to the study where the bamboo slips were stored, and the bamboo slips on the wooden shelves in it recorded all the things in Yanmen County.

Later, Bai Yan didn't check it, but after checking it, he realized that the situation in Yanmen is worse than imagined.

"Li Mu previously mobilized Zhao Bian to ride and has squeezed all the Yanmen dry!"

Inside the study.

Looking at the bamboo slips piled up on the wooden table, Bai Yan frowned, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and then threw them on top of the other bamboo slips.

"Someone!"

Bai Yan turned around and shouted towards the outside of the study.

Under Bai Yan's orders.

A cronie walked into the study and bowed his hand to Bai Yan.

"General!"

The cronies looked at Bai Yan and waited for Bai Yan's orders.

"Go and let karma come over!"

Bai Yan said.

Previously, Bai Yan dared to go to Xianyang in the book, but this time he faced the Jingcheng, Yanmen, and even more places.

Coupled with the original land of Yan and Yan, Bai Yan no longer dared to go to Xianyang.

Bai Yan knew that even if King Yingzheng of Qin was not always as he pleased, the clan behind him and the Zhisu Neishi and Jiuqing in the court would still put a lot of pressure on Yingzheng.

"No!"

The cronies took the order, then turned to leave.

Bai Yan stood in the study, where are the scholars in Shu, there is still an inexhaustible supply of grain and millet, the money he got in Handan before, with the price of grain in Shu, it should not be difficult for the people of Yanmen to survive this year.

It's September, and in a few months the next year.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan came to the map and looked at the detailed map of Yanmen hanging in front of him.

In the spring of next year, if you want to prevent the problem of grain millet, you must build a canal, before the corruption of the officials of the Zhao State was serious, the Zhao State was in drought for many years, Li Mu was entangled by the Qin State, and no one went to the book to build the canal, resulting in the famine of the fields of the people of the Zhao State.

Bai Yan didn't know if it was because of the special reasons of Yanmen and Daidi.

But he had to build a canal now.

At the moment, the most important thing he lacks is labor, and these tens of thousands of Zhao Bianqi are kept, so they must find a job to do!

"Zhao Guo!"

Looking at the map of Yanmen, there is another map hanging next to it, which is marked in detail with the deployment of the Zhao army, which is obviously a map of Li Mu's observation of the situation in the Zhao State.

Bai Yan looked at this map, his eyes followed the line of sight, along Yanmen, Jingcheng, all the way to Handan, and then to the east is Fei, all the way to the east, a few days away, where there are two avenues, a business road is to Zhaodi Gaotang.

In the past, Zhao State captured the fifty-seven cities of Gaotang in Qi State, and these fifty-seven cities had fertile land and a large population, which was something that Qi State had always been worried about.

A large part of the reason why Qi was reluctant to help Zhao was because of Gao Tang.

In addition to this trade route to Gaotang, on the map, another southward trade route can go directly to the border of Zhao and Qi, passing through the place where Zhao, Wei, and Qi meet.

And where it passed, it was the Qi Country Wing City.

When he first left the Qi State, he passed through Yicheng, and finally did not go to the Zhao State, but went to the Wei State from Yicheng.

And where is Yicheng, he also deceived his father, saying that he followed Ling Shi and left home to make a living in Yicheng.

"Wing City!"

Bai Yan stepped forward, took two steps lightly, and came to the map.

Looking at this map, the place where Yicheng is written, he is really close to the way home, this moment is really close.

Homesick!

Think back to the old days.

Unconsciously, he had become accustomed to wearing clothes and armor, and wearing the Qin Sword at his waist.

It's just that I don't know why, looking at the map, this way home, in Bai Yan's eyes at this moment, is 'farther' than the distance when I came.

"General!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, followed by the voice of karma.

Bai Yan came back to his senses and retracted his thoughts.

"Karma!"

Bai Yan turned around and looked at Xiang Ye: "You personally take someone back to Xianyang, take my handwritten message, and secretly go to see Lord Tai Jingtai!" and my uncle Bai Yu. ”

"No!"

Ye gave his hand to Bai Yan, and after receiving the order, Ye looked at Bai Yan's eyes with a little sadness, and when he saw Bai Yan's karma for the first time, he couldn't help but ask with concern.

"General! Are you okay? ”

The industry asked cautiously.

has always been by Bai Yan's side, in the eyes of the industry, the general has always been very resolute and good at fighting, whether it is facing a strong enemy twice as strong as himself, or a desperate situation, the general has never been partially timid.

And the square.

Seeing the look in the general's eyes, Ye really doubted his own eyes.

"It's fine!"

Bai Yan shook his head, turned around, and looked at the map.

After breaking the well, now in Zhao State, the rest of the things are very simple, it can be said that there are only interests left.

Previously, Bai Yan had made great contributions in Yanhe, and with the credit of Jing Cheng, Bai Yan's two first achievements had already accounted for a large enough contribution.

is also because these two credits are hard gnawed down by Bai Yan, Wang Jian and other generals also know this, so in other aspects, as long as Bai Yan has requirements, they will basically be satisfied, and the generals under Bai Yan's command have all been promoted from Chai down.

Even the people Bai Yan wanted to promote were all promoted.

These were the exchange of interests between Bai Yan and Wang Qian, or the other warriors in the entire army.

The next few days.

Good is not in the city.

With the arrival of the Qin army in Shanwu City, the scholars in the city had long been unable to bear it.

In the county guard mansion in the city, the gate is overcrowded almost every day, and countless men of the scholar clan come to the gate of the county guard mansion with boxes of goods and treasures, and line up to visit.

When Li Mu was here, Li Mu was their partner.

Now that Li Mu is dead, he is replaced by the youngest upstart in the Qin State, Bai Yan, the son of the Bai family.

These scholars are naturally not stupid, and they know that the most important thing for the family now is to be able to have a relationship with Bai Yan!

No matter how strong Li Mu is, no matter how high his status is, he is also a minister of Zhao State.

After annexing most of the Zhao State, the Qin State has become the overlord of the world, and its territory is several times that of the Zhao State, although the Qin general Bai Yan is not Wu Anjun, but under the territory of the Qin State, the weight of Qin Zuo's chief is not much less than that of Wu Anjun of Zhao State.

Not to mention.

Bai Yan is not only an upstart in the court of the Qin State, but after breaking through Jingcheng, I am afraid that he is one of the few capable ministers in the eyes of King Qin.

Quite a few well-informed people speculated.

Perhaps after this time, Qin General Bai Yan has the momentum of becoming a favored minister.

In this way, if you can get in touch with Bai Yan, you don't have to worry about the family falling in the world in the future.

Inside the mansion.

After Bai Yan received the news, he did not refuse the gifts of these scholars.

For the scholars, Bai Yan was a little resistant from the beginning, but now, after seeing a lot, he has become accustomed to it.

In fact, as long as the purpose of these scholars is clarified, it is easy to make good use of it.

It's all about the deal.

Bai Yan knew that if he wanted to let Yanmen County survive the current difficulties in the future, these scholars rooted in Yanmen would have to make a difference.

For four whole days.

Bai Yan has always been dealing with the scholars in these places in Yanmen, and even the Guo clan in Jinyang has sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

In just a few days, the number of maids in Bai Yan's mansion has increased from more than a dozen to more than sixty, and this is still the case where Bai Yan refused most scholars to send their daughters as concubines.

Day 5.

Bai Yan only had time to deal with important matters.

It was also at this time that Chai, Yanmao and others informed Bai Yan of the progress of the canal during this period of time.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan looked at the news reported by Chai and the others in the bamboo slips, as well as the secret letter sent by Wang Jian from Handan.

Just as Bai Yan was looking at the news sent by Wang Qian.

There is no city of goodness.

Under the scorching sun, several carriages and horses slowly drove to the city gate.

Unlike the carriages of other merchants, these carriages were all equipped with Qi flags, and they were escorted by Qi cavalry on both sides of the carriage.

"Qi country carriage!"

"Yes, these carriages belong to the Qi Kingdom!"

At the city gate, other people and merchants saw this scene and discussed it privately.

"Stop, who are you waiting for?"

Under the city gate, seven or eight Qin pawns holding Changge looked at these several carriages from Qi State, glanced at each other, and the generals led by them stepped forward to ask.

At this moment, the Qin general looked at these Qi carriages with puzzlement.

What is the origin of these Qi carriages? There is actually a cavalry escort from the Qi Kingdom!

Why are you here?

Although he was curious, at this moment, the Qin general also knew that the Qin State was friendly with the Qi State, and he was still polite in the face of these Qi carriages with extraordinary origins.

If he offends that big man, it's not something he, a small general, can afford.

Under the questioning of the generals of the Qin pawns.

The general of the Qi cavalry slowly rode forward and took out a token from his arms.

"Tian Cong, the doctor of Qi State, came to Yanmen today to visit Qin Zuoshu, and I hope to go and report to you!"

The general of the cavalry of the Qi State said to the general of the Qin pawn.

The general of the Qin pawn looked at its token, for this wooden card, although the general of the Qin pawn had never seen it, but looking at the origin of these people, he was not worried that these people were telling lies.

Doctor Qi!

Come to think of it.

"Go inform the general!"

The general of the Qin pawn turned to the other soldiers and ordered.

Now the people of Zhao Di are still dealing with household registration, and many things are very relaxed, like the identities of these people, he doesn't know whether it's true or not, so he can only report it and ask the general.

However, there are so many cavalry escorts at the moment, and the identity of the doctor of Qi should be true.

"Do you hear that? Doctor Qi! Hiss~ It turned out that he saw Qin Zuoshu Changbai Yan! ”

"Sure enough, I guessed just now that these people have an extraordinary background at a glance, and they must have come to Yanmen for the sake of Qin Zuoshu!"

"How many people have come in this time! Now even the magnates of Qi come to Yanmen! ”

Under the city gate, merchants and pedestrians watching from a distance heard the words of the Qi cavalry and shouted one after another.

During this time, they have seen an unknown number of people visiting the county guard's office.

Visit that Qin general Bai Yan.

Unexpectedly, today, even the magnates of the Qi Kingdom came to Yanmen Shanwu.

"You can go in after the carriage is checked!"

The generals of the Qin pawn handed over the wooden plaque to the cavalry of the Qi State, and then let the carriage go, but for the cavalry of the Qi State, the generals of the Qin pawn all stopped it.

"You are only allowed to follow the carriage in, and the rest need to stop outside the city and wait for the release order!"

The Qin pawn general commanded.

These cavalry were only about 300 people, and in Shannaku, which was garrisoned by an army of iron cavalry, these 300 people could not make any big waves at all.

But after all, it's better to be careful, after all, the county guard is in the city.

At the city gates.

When the cavalry of the Qi State heard the words of the Qin general, they were not surprised, and turned around on horseback to report to the adults in the carriage.

A moment later.

Under the gaze of the Qin generals, the generals of the cavalry of the Qi State turned around on their horses and ordered all the cavalry soldiers to wait outside the city.

Seeing this, the generals of the Qin pawn breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, the Qin generals also knew that after entering the city, they would be responsible for the safety of the Qi people in these carriages, and if there was an accident, whether it was Qi or Qin, they would settle accounts with them.

"Take these people to the general!"

The Qin generals turned their heads and asked some of the soldiers on the city tower to come down and escort the carriages to the county guard's mansion.

Subsequently.

Watching the wheels of these carriages turn, one by one the carriages passed in front of them, and the generals of the Qin soldiers began to take people and stepped forward to inspect these carriages to prevent people from hiding in them.

The first carriage.

The general of the Qin pawn stepped forward, and under the vigilant gaze of the other Qi cavalry, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and look at it.

A man in his twenties, dressed in Qi costumes, looks really handsome.

Just when I was emotional.

The next moment, when the Qin pawn general looked at the girl beside the man, his eyes widened completely, and he stood in place with a distracted expression.

What a beautiful woman!

Fair skin, young but beautiful face.

Is there really such a woman in the world!!

"Is there a problem?"

The man in the carriage asked expressionlessly.

A sentence made the Qin pawn general come back to his senses again and again, nodded sluggishly, accompanied by a cold sweat, the Qin pawn general realized how rude he was.

You must know that the person in front of you is a doctor of Qi State, if he passes negotiations, maybe he will be condemned.

"My lord, it's okay!"

The general of the Qin pawn nodded hurriedly, his heart palpitating, but he no longer dared to look at the girl.

So beautiful!

He was afraid that if he looked at it again, he would lose his mind again.

"They all told you not to come!"

Inside the carriage, Tian Cong looked at his little sister and said helplessly, I have forgotten how many times this has been, and it will be like this every time.

God knows that his father didn't hold back the little sister's coquettish pleading, and actually agreed to let the little sister follow him all the way to Yanmen.

"My brother can come, why can't I! My father said yes! ”

When the girl heard her brother's words, she looked to the side with a pretty face.

As the carriage moved, I heard the people outside the carriage talking about the man, and a smile appeared on the girl's pretty face.

Last time I said goodbye in Linzi, Qi State.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years, and now that person, will he be surprised to see himself!

Think back to two years ago, the young man kneeling in front of the old woman at the city gate, the back of the departing with a sword wrapped on his back.

After two years of ups and downs, it's okay now!

What does it look like?

"Yes!"

When Tian Cong heard the little sister's words, his expression was full of helplessness, but when he looked at the girl, he was very spoiled.

Turning his head to look to the side, he listened to the people outside the carriage mentioning Qin Zuoshu Changbai Yan.

Tian Cong's brows furrowed slightly.

After several battles in a row, Bai Yan, the left secretary of the Qin State, his ability to lead the troops was really amazing, and after fighting with Li Mu, he and his father had to admit that Bai Yan's ability far exceeded previous expectations.

At a young age, he was able to fight with Li Mu without falling into disadvantage.

The previous battle of Jingcheng was even more unexpected, and the shooting was amazing.

Before that, who would have thought.

The army of Zhao State, which has natural dangers, can't stop the Qin general Bai Yan and the iron cavalry army under his command.

Close your eyes.

Tian Cong thought back to Bai Yan's famous battles and slowly took a deep breath.

"Famous generals, Bai family!"

Tian Cong opened his eyes, and when he talked about this clan in his heart, he was full of emotion.

This time I came here to contact him, and my father also hoped that he would have a way to deal with it in the future.
