Chapter 294: Meeting in the Mansion.
There is no city of goodness.
Bai Yan's return to Shanwu did not make much of a battle, on the contrary, the news of returning to Shanwu was known to others except for a small number of people.
As for the Iron Cavalry Army, after rectifying the Yanmen officials, the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army returned to the camp under Bai Yan's order.
It is Yanmao who guards the Yanmen camp.
Bai Yan was not worried about Yan Mao's improper guarding, on the contrary, compared to others, after dealing with the plunder, letting Yan Mao guard the camp made Bai Yan feel the most at ease.
On prestige.
Yan Mao is one of the best meritorious services in the army, almost every battle must make meritorious service, and the battlefield must kill the enemy general.
Even other arrogant iron cavalry generals have to admit that Yan Mao should be the first person among the generals, and whenever there is a war, Bai Yan is not there, and it must be Yan Mao who leads the army.
This is also why Yan Mao's title is not the highest in the army, but in terms of prestige and strength, Yan Mao can be compared to the firewood of the deputy general.
And for people.
Among all the iron cavalry generals, in addition to Chai, Yan Mao is also Bai Yan's most trusted general.
Similar to Su Han's matter, Bai Yan didn't dare to guarantee that in the future, under the temptation of countless scholars' money and beauties, there would be no one among the iron horsemen who would be bribed.
But Bai Yan dared to guarantee it.
Yan Mao will never be bribed by the scholars, let alone betray him.
This trust is not under Chai, Jue and others.
"You kid, this time the blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the plundering and selling have made you have an extraordinary status in the hearts of ordinary people, but the news that people in the world have learned is all from the mouths of scholars, not the people of Yanmen."
At the gate of the mansion, Wei Lao turned over and dismounted and handed over the war horse to the other iron cavalry soldiers, while looking at Bai Yan and said.
On the way back to Shanwu from Loufu, Wei Lao has been observing the people along the way.
After dealing with the looting.
Nowadays, most places in Yanmen have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the people of Yanmen have long been numb in the case of drought in Yanmen for many years, the mediocrity of the monarchs of Zhao State, and the corruption of officials.
Or it has always been the case in Yanmen.
In the scorching heat and lack of rain for many years, almost all the people have not seen half of their life.
Until Bai Yan's arrival.
First of all, grain and millet, when the people saw life, Bai Yan also personally handled the case of plundering and selling, executed countless powerful people in one fell swoop, and returned all the women who had been sold to their families.
In this way, the people of Yanmen feel the most.
But all the same.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there are good and bad.
"The kid knows!"
When Bai Yan heard Wei Lao's words, he was not surprised, and after dismounting, he handed over the horse rope to his cronies.
"Before deciding to deal with the case of plunder, Bai Yan knew that he would offend the scholars of Yanmen, each of whom has a wide range of connections and foundations, and when the time comes, it is not difficult to unite and spread the news to the world!"
Bai Yan turned his head to look at the gate of the mansion, and then walked towards the gate with Wei Lao.
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, those who are turbid are self-turbid, rumors will eventually be rumors, and what businessmen see will also spread!"
Bai Yan said as he walked.
When Old Wei beside him heard this, he shook his head with a smile.
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid."
Wei Lao said: "You kid can see it!" ”
In the mansion, Bai Yan was among the maids and came to the study.
It didn't take long for Chai, who learned the news, to come in a hurry.
"General!"
Chai came to Bai Yan and arched his hand and said.
Bai Yan looked at Chai and nodded.
"It's been a hard time!"
Bai Yan said to Chai.
Bai Yan knew that during the period when he was not good, the pressure Chai faced was definitely not small, so many scholars could not find him, and they would definitely not give up.
"Hey~! General, Chai is fine! ”
Chai looked at Bai Yan, who was about to say something, and laughed a little helplessly for a while.
Looking at the young Bai Yan and listening to Fang Cai's words, the pressure of Chai during this time was suddenly swept away.
Death for a confidant.
Chai, who was already loyal to the Bai family, heard Bai Yan's words, and his heart was better than any reward.
"General, this is the roster!"
Chai handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan.
In this bamboo slip, it is recorded that the families of the scholars who committed the case of plundering and selling, among which the wives and daughters and concubines were handled.
Previously, Bai Yan rewarded most of his wives and daughters to the generals under his command.
This is the best reward for soldiers as a commander, and it is also the best way to buy people's hearts.
However, when rewarding these wives and daughters, Bai Yan will naturally let Chai Mingren investigate the background behind these wives and daughters.
Behind some wives and daughters, there are scholars.
And those women with a scholar background rewarded the generals under their command, some of them were good for Bai Yan, or for the iron cavalry generals, or even for the soldiers, while some were just the opposite, if they were not handled properly, they would harm Bai Yan and the iron cavalry generals.
"Good!"
Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slip and nodded.
Many of these wives and daughters have backgrounds, and those without backgrounds are all good-looking.
Whether the iron cavalry general is used as a wife or a maid, he doesn't care.
"By the way, General Wang Ben and General Meng Tian, can there be any good?"
Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips and looked at the firewood.
Chai nodded.
"It's all here!"
Chai then informed Bai Yan about Meng Tian's arrival and going to see Su Han.
Wei Lao on the side heard Chai's words, closed his eyes and savored it, and then couldn't help but nodded, although he had never seen Meng Tian, the disciple of the Mengshi clan, but at least from the fact that Meng Tian did not order the release, but the attitude of distinguishing between public and private, it can be seen that his personality is not bad.
Don't underestimate this detail.
It is also this detail that can see whether Bai Yan will have trouble in the Qin army after detaining Su Han, and how much trouble it will have.
"Someone!"
Bai Yan turned his head and shouted outside the mansion.
Later, after a cronie soldier came in, Bai Yan opened his mouth and asked to invite General Wang Ben and General Meng Tian to come over, saying that he Bai Yan was preparing a banquet in the mansion and invited the two generals to come over for a while.
Good is not in the city.
With Bai Yan setting up a banquet and inviting Wang Ben and Meng Tian to spread, within a few hours, the news of Bai Yan's return to Shanwu spread to the ears of all the scholars in the entire city.
Previously, Bai Yan did not return to Shanwu, and all the scholars were waiting or waiting.
After all, the people of the scholar clan all know, or rather, behind Meng Tian and Wang Ben coming to Yanmen on the order of Wang Qian, there is no shortage of reasons for these scholars.
Therefore, after Wang Ben and Meng Tian arrived at Shanwu, there were the eyes of the scholars watching almost every day.
"Princess, I heard that General Qin Bai Yan has returned to Shanwu City, and now he is holding a banquet in the mansion!"
Shen Shi Shen Yi came to a mansion and said to Princess Zhao Qiu.
Shen Yi is an old man in his fifties, a famous gentleman in the former Zhao Kingdom, and the reason why he came to this Shanwu from other cities is because of Zhao Qiu's commission.
The Shen family has a relationship with Zhao Qiu, and Zhao Qiu saved the Shen family and helped the Shen family, so Shen Yi also came to repay the favor this time.
"Now that Meng Tian and Wang Ben are in Bai Yan's mansion, at this time, you may be able to ask Yu Qi to accompany you and go to see Bai Yan together!"
Shen Yi looked at Zhao Qiu.
At this moment, the mansion where Shen Yi and Zhao Qiu are located is not Shen Yi's mansion, although the Shen family behind Shen Yi is a famous family, but no clan has developed in Yanmen Shanwu City before, so there is no mansion in Shanwu City.
This mansion.
It is the mansion of Yu Qi of the Yu family.
In the Zhao Kingdom, the Yu family is also a big family, and the name of the ancestors is known to everyone in the world.
Yu Xin, the ancestor of the Yu family, if you only say the name Yu Xin, maybe few people know it, but when you say Yu Qing, I am afraid that you will hear about it if you ask the officials of the Qin State or the king of Qin.
Yu Xin, also known as Yu Qing, is the secretary of Zhao Guoshangqing, who was once the secretary of Zhao and the prime minister of Zhao.
This is a cattle man, the first time to meet Zhao Xiaocheng Wang, a conversation, Zhao Xiaocheng King gave Yu Xin gold 100 yi, a pair of white bi, the second time to meet Zhao Xiaocheng Wang, a lobbying, Zhao Xiaocheng Wang let Yu Xin serve as the secretary of Zhao.
It's a pity that in the first battle of Changping, Yu Qing admonished several times, but if King Zhao Xiaocheng could listen to Yu Qing's words once at that time, Zhao Guo would not be the current situation.
Although Yu Xin did not save the Changping War of Zhao, after the Changping War, not only Zhao State, but also Wei State, many famous families, and even the royal family, all respected Yu Qing, and even Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, respected Yu Xin in his heart.
This is the deeds of Yu Qizu.
Although the Yu clan is not as good as it was at the beginning, in the declining Yu clan, it is not comparable to the ordinary scholars.
This trip to see Bai Yan at the county guard's mansion must be Yu Qi's presence.
Because when Montessori Mengjia went to Qin in Qi State, he passed through Zhao State, and he benefited from Yu Qi's ancestor Yu Xin, and then Montessori Mengjia also received Yu Xin's grace and respected Yu Xin very much.
So now I want to see Bai Yan.
In the case of Meng Tian's presence, Yu Qi asked to see him, which was the most suitable.
"There is Mr. Law!"
Zhao Qiu heard the words of the old man Shen Yi and got up to salute Shen Yi.
"Princess, please prepare, the old man will go to see Yu Qi!"
Shen Yi returned the salute to Zhao Qiu, then turned around and walked out of the room.
Zhao Qiu looked at the back of Shen Yi leaving, and when the door was slowly closed by the maid, he turned around and walked to the side accompanied by the maid.
in the room.
On Zhao Qiuqiao's face, her beautiful eyes looked at the bronze mirror, and next to the bronze mirror, there were precious jewels on it.
Under the service of the maid, from the ground, the long belt on Zhao Qiu's body fell to the ground, accompanied by the fluttering long belt falling off the wooden board, and after a while, a piece of clothing fell.
Inside the prefectural precinct.
In the main hall, Bai Yan sat behind the wooden table, holding the wine lord, and toasted to Wang Ben and Meng Tian.
Three glasses of wine.
They are all people in the battlefield, and they are all refreshing, so they don't have so many scruples after drinking.
"General Bai Yan, Su Han's matter, the general doesn't need to take care of anything else, although Su Han is Meng Tian's father's entourage, and he has been in and out of the battlefield with his father for more than ten years, but in the matter of plundering and selling, there are as many as tens of thousands of women who have been plundered and sold, Su Han does such a move that is intolerable, and Mengshi will never show favoritism!"
Meng Tian said to Bai Yan.
At this moment, Meng Tian's eyes did not have the perseverance and perseverance of the past, and Meng Tian, who was once arrogant and iron-clad, was full of exhaustion on his young face at this moment.
Obviously, behind the words, it is far from being so breezy and cloudy.
"General Meng Tian is so righteous, Qin is fortunate, and Bai Yan also sincerely admires it."
Bai Yan arched his hand at Meng Tian: "Presumably the king knows, and he will also nod for the general!" ”
As Bai Yan spoke, together with Wang Ben, his eyes looked at Meng Tian with admiration.
Everyone can see that Meng Tian is not easy in dealing with Su Han, at least he is absolutely under great pressure in his heart, after all, Su Han is a veteran general who has followed Meng Wu for more than ten years, and it can be said that he is a close member of the Meng family.
Now in dealing with Su Han's matter.
Montessori also has to withstand the pressure of other generals, after all, in the eyes of everyone, they are veterans who have followed Montessori all the way, and those Zhao women, no matter how many, are also Zhao women.
"This matter is a matter of worrying General Bai Yan!"
When Meng Tian heard Bai Yan's words, his face was not happy, and he bowed to Bai Yan in return.
For Suhan.
When Meng Tian thought of it, his face would be in a trance, because it could be said that he knew Su Han when he was familiar with military books when he was young.
Su Han is not only his father's subordinate, Montessori's cronies, but also his old friend whom Meng Tian has known for more than ten years.
Now that he is watching Su Han commit a crime, he is not comfortable at all in his heart.
At the banquet.
With the passage of time, after three rounds of drinking.
Wang Ben was also informing Bai Yan at this time.
Previously, in Handan, countless scholars with heads and faces all used their connections to spread Bai Yan's atrocities in Yanmen in front of his father Wang Jian and in the entire Handan City.
Although his father Wang Jian and other generals all knew Bai Yan's character, but now in the eyes of other people and other scholars, Bai Yan is evil.
Said here.
Wang Ben looked at Bai Yan, and finally saw that Bai Yan didn't care too much about his face, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now it is rumored that your evil is not weak to your great-ancestor!"
After Wang Ben finished speaking, he was actually a little nervous in his heart.
However, Wang Ben can also understand that Bai Yan is the Bai family, and the Bai family is not much better in the eyes of the Zhao people, and in the first battle of Changping, among the 450,000 Zhao people killed by Bai Qi, it was not only the soldiers of Zhao Guo.
450,000 troops!
How many Zhao generals are there, and how many scholars are behind these Zhao generals.
Therefore, for the Bai family.
In the whole world, Zhao Guo hated him even more than Chu.
Now Bai Yan, as a disciple of the Bai family, after breaking through Jingcheng, he 'slaughtered' the Shi clan in Yanmen, which was another 'massacre' after Bai Qi, and the person who led the party was still surnamed Bai, and it was the same Bai clan.
How can the gentry endure it?
Your Bai clan actually dared to slaughter the Zhao Guoshi clan, and it was twice in a row!
"The previous burning of the city was also enumerated by many people and hyped it up in secret!"
Wang Ben looked at Bai Yan.
Meng Tian, who was originally depressed on the side, couldn't help but look at Bai Yan when he heard Wang Ben's words.
Previously, because he was in Gaotang, he was not in contact with Wang Ben, so Meng Tian was not very clear about the news of Handan, but now that he heard Wang Ben's words, Meng Tian could think that now Bai Yan was not in a good situation at all after dealing with the plunder.
and even make enemies everywhere.
There are countless nobles in the secret, always waiting for the opportunity to kill Bai Yan.
Inside the main hall.
After listening to Wang Ben's words, Bai Yan was not surprised.
Under the gaze of Wang Ben and Meng Tian, Bai Yan, who was dressed in black, looked out of the lobby with burning eyes.
"It doesn't matter, when Bai Yan was investigating the plundering before, he was prepared, and the people of the world insulted me and scolded me, but in this way, Bai Yan's food is the king, and he is worthy of the heavens and the people of Yanmen, so why be afraid!"
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked at the two.
Words.
Wang Ben and Meng Tian couldn't help but look sideways, looking at the young Bai Yan, looking at Bai Yan's eyes.
At this moment, the two of them were full of admiration.
No matter how those scholars slandered Bai Yan, no matter what kind of person Bai Yan was in the eyes of the world in the future.
But just by virtue of what Fang Cai said, Bai Yan was worthy of the admiration of the two of them.
Not to mention the plunder, not to mention Wang Ben, even Meng Tian was shocked, maybe the whole world, Bai Yan dared to investigate.
Otherwise, if you change to a general in Yanmen, even if it is General Wang Qian, after knowing that you will offend so many scholars, you have to think twice.
"Your Excellency!"
As the three of them were talking, a servant walked in from outside the main hall.
Under the watchful eyes of Wang Ben and Meng Tian, the servants came to the main hall.
"My lord, outside the mansion, Yu Qi and Shen Yi of the Yu clan ask to see you!"
The servant was in the main hall and said to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan listened to the servant's words, and wanted to find an excuse to send them away just like he did with other scholars, after all, after the news spread, he couldn't count the people he wanted to see.
"Yu Qi?"
Meng Tian suddenly looked at the servant with a surprised expression.
Seeing this, Bai Yan turned his head to look at Meng Tian.
"General Meng Tian knows?"
Bai Yan asked.
Bai Yan also knows something about the Yu clan in Shanwucheng, and one of the people of the Yu clan is Yu He, who is now in the captive camp.
"Recognize! Grandfather Meng Fu was once blessed by the Yu family! Previously, when Meng Tian passed by Yanmen, he came to visit. ”
Meng Tian didn't hide it, turned his head to Bai Yan and said.
When Wang Ben on the other side heard this, he also nodded and looked at Bai Yan.
"Mr. Shen Yi, he is quite famous in Zhao State, General Bai Yan might as well meet him!"
Wang Ben's move is also buying Meng Tian's little favor, although this favor is minimal, but at least it can make people feel good.
Meng Tian and Wang Ben's words made Bai Yan nod.
"Please enter the mansion! Someone"
Bai Yan looked at the servant and ordered, and then asked the maid to prepare two more tables of wine and food.
When the servant received the order, he turned and left.
A moment later.
Just as Bai Yan was talking with Wang Ben and Meng Tian while drinking.
Under the leadership of the servant, the elderly Shen Yi and Yu Qi, a middle-aged man dressed in silk clothes, entered the main hall.
However, Wang Ben and Wang Qian's eyes, after seeing the two, couldn't help but look at the other woman who came with the two.
After seeing the woman's face clearly, even Wang Ben and Meng Tian couldn't help but lose their minds slightly.
What a beautiful woman!
Even the well-informed Wang Ben couldn't help but sigh in his heart after seeing the woman.
Not to mention Meng Tian.
In the hearts of the two, looking at the woman, they couldn't help but praise in their hearts, the world is stunning, nothing more!
In the watch.
The servant took the man for the whole day and then turned away.
"Old man Shenyi, meet the general!"
"Yu Qi, I've seen the general!"
In the main hall, Shen Yi and Yu Qi bowed their hands to Bai Yan.
However, at this time, Bai Yan's eyes did not look at the two, but looked directly at the woman behind the two of them, just like Wang Ben and Meng Tian.
And the stunning beauty in red behind Shen Yi looked at Bai Yan who was kneeling behind the wooden table with beautiful eyes at this moment.
"Shin Hee, meet the general!"
After the stunning woman in red came back to her senses, she slowly saluted Bai Yan and said.
At this moment, no one knew the turmoil in the heart of the woman in red when she spoke.
Qin Zuoshu Changbai Yan.
It's Xu Zixiao!
