Chapter 449: Winning the hearts of the people
In the county governor's mansion, Bai Yan was in the study, looking at the news sent by Wei State, after the King of Wei died violently, Wei State immediately supported the new king Wei to succeed to the throne as expected.
Zhao Qiu came to the study, and under Bai Yan's gaze, he came to the wooden table and slowly knelt down and sat down.
"News came from the Shen clan that Peng Yi is dead!"
Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan.
She knew that Bai Yan hadn't left the mansion today, so she shouldn't know the news yet.
"Hmm!"
When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he didn't show a too surprised expression.
"I knew from the beginning that he wouldn't be able to live if he left Yanmen!"
Bai Yan handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Zhao Qiu, since he promised Zhao Qiu, Zhao Qiu has settled down, maybe Zhao Qiu also knows the current situation, rather than spending too much time, it is better to wait quietly.
"Wei fake? Those courtiers of Wei are not afraid of the death of the country?"
Zhao Qiu looked at the content of the bamboo slip and said in a rather complicated tone.
Zhao Qiu is very clear about Wei Fake's temperament, after all, she has seen Wei Fake a few times and knows what kind of person Wei Fake is.
"By the way, you killed his dog in the first place!"
Zhao Qiu put down the bamboo slip and looked at Bai Yan and teased.
After calming down and getting Bai Yan's promise, Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan, no longer as unpleasant as he was at the beginning, and when they got along, whether it was Zhao Qiu or Bai Yan, they felt much more comfortable.
Wooden table.
Bai Yan listened to Zhao Qiu's words and glanced at Zhao Qiu.
"Even if Wei wants to take revenge, those ministers of Wei will persuade him!"
Bai Yan's voice just fell.
"General, no, General!
」
Suddenly, an iron cavalry soldier hurriedly came to the study and walked directly in front of Bai Yan with a panicked expression.
When Zhao Qiu and Bai Yan saw the appearance of the soldiers, they both frowned slightly, and they didn't understand if something big had happened.
"What?"
Bai Yan asked.
Zhao Qiu glanced at Bai Yan at this time, and then turned his head to look at the soldier.
"General, the people in the city and the people who have signed up for the army in the city have already crowded the city gates, and many people are fighting with each other, and they have already started fighting!"
The soldier said to Bai Yan.
As soon as these words came out, Bai Yan looked at the soldier with a surprised face.
"Let's see!"
Bai Yan got up and said, and after speaking, he was about to walk towards the outside of the study, but to Bai Yan's surprise, Zhao Qiu also looked at Bai Yan at this time.
"General, Shin Ji wants to go with you!"
Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan with a charming face, his beautiful eyes were full of flattery.
When the soldiers on the side saw Zhao Qiu's appearance, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and then hurriedly gathered their minds, sighing that the general was really blessed, and believed that any man with such a beauty would not want to leave home.
"Good!"
Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu, he had been completely exempted from military service for this scene, in the entire mansion, except for Wei Lao, the Tyrant Clan, and Xi, Zhao Qiu had always been disguised and lived in the mansion as his woman.
He often reads books in Zhao Qiu's boudoir and sees late at night, also in order to confirm Zhao Qiu's identity.
Right now, Bai Yan did not refuse Zhao Qiu's desire to go together.
A moment later.
In Shanwu City, before Bai Yan arrived at the city gate, the carriage was blocked on the street by countless people watching.
"That's a lot of people! What are they doing?"
"You don't know? They are all vying to enlist! I heard that even people from Handan County and other places have come to Yanmen and want to enlist in Yanmen!"
"So many people..... It's all enlisted????"
Outside the carriage, there was an endless stream of noisy discussions, and countless voices came into the carriage.
Zhao Qiu turned his head to look at Bai Yan, his expression was the same as when he was in front of the soldiers, and at this moment Zhao Qiu's eyes were full of complexity.
"Luckily
Good you're a Qi person!"
After a long time, Zhao Qiufang said a word to Bai Yan in a very small voice.
Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, looked at Zhao Qiu, and naturally knew what Zhao Qiu meant, looking at the movement in the city at this moment, Bai Yan also understood that if he was really a disciple of the Bai family, this scene was enough to make people break out in a cold sweat.
Even if Bai Yan knew that Ying Zheng was the first emperor of the ages, a king who never killed meritorious heroes, at the beginning, Meng Tian, Tu Sui and others were holding hundreds of thousands of troops, Ying Zheng was relieved, but this scene would inevitably not be used by people with intentions, and when some inscriptions were made, he would stumble.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
」
Under the escort of Qin officials and soldiers, Bai Yan's carriage finally drove slowly to the city gate.
When the voice of his cronies came from outside the carriage, Bai Yan got up, lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage, but just after he walked out of the carriage, what attracted Bai Yan's eyes was a sea of people.
Looking at the countless people of different ages in cloth clothes around them, looking at the dense crowd of people, they all quieted down at the moment and looked at themselves.
Bai Yan stood on the carriage and forgot to say anything.
Bai Yan, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, looked at the bustling city gate, and all of them were quiet at the moment, and then turned his head to look at the registration office on the side, at this time Bai Yan noticed that on the side of the registration office, several Qin officials were holding swords and detaining several men.
"County Captain, it's those people who are scrambling!"
A Qin official stepped forward and said to Bai Yan.
Hearing this, Bai Yan nodded, stepped out of the carriage, and came to the five men in the aisle let out by the dense crowd.
"Why do you want to fight?"
Bai Yan looked at the men who were tied up one by one and asked.
In Bai Yan's gaze, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with a dark face and blood stains on his face glanced at Bai Yan with red eyes, and then lowered his head.
"General, I came from Gaotang, all the way over, all begging to eat tree bark, and my mother is still at home, waiting for my news! I want to enlist!"
[In view of the general environment,
As the boy spoke, his tone gradually whimpered, and when he talked about the back, the boy who didn't shed tears during the fight sobbed when he mentioned his mother.
Bai Yan looked at the other man.
When the man saw Bai Yan's gaze, although Bai Yan was young, he joined the army and often killed people, which still made the man dare not look directly.
"General, I also came from Yanhe, and now there is only my old mother and sick wife left in the family, and they are all waiting for my news~I~I, I am afraid that I will not be able to enlist in the army, so I am anxious."
As the man spoke, he also lowered his head, a little remorseful, but more importantly, he was still afraid that he would be condemned or driven away because of this incident.
Bai Yan looked at them one by one, and after they all learned the reason, he sighed deeply.
"Remembering that there was a reason for the incident, and that it was not out of the desire to hurt people, all of them were taken to the canal and labored for fifteen days!"
Bai Yan ordered.
The laws of the Qin State are not as terrible as the propaganda of the scholars of other countries, the Qin State does prohibit private fights, and the most serious ones are even executed, but that is in an extremely serious situation, when Shang Ying executed the people of private fighting, it was because of the large-scale private fights of the Qin people in the two villages, and many people died, in that case, Shang Yang did not execute the party is a big deal.
In other cases, as long as no one is killed in a private fight, the most serious thing is to go to the border to work or repair the mausoleum.
Later, Qin Law was repaired several times, and it was also quite humane, just like "missing the deadline" for different reasons, the general labor service was lost due to heavy rain, even if it was a long time, it could be exempted from punishment.
And at the moment, these people are also between private fights and non-private fights, and they do not have the idea of hurting people and fighting, which is relatively light.
Looking at the countless people watching around him, it was impossible for Bai Yan not to deal with it, but it was also impossible to deal with it very seriously, and a compromise was a good choice.
"Let's go!"
When several Qin officials heard Bai Yan's words, they all bowed their hands to Bai Yan, and then prepared to take these people away.
And the young man who was questioned by Bai Yan just now took a step forward when he saw this, and just as all the Qin officials were taken aback and were about to draw their swords, they saw the young man kneeling in front of Bai Yan, kowtowing to Bai Yan desperately, and from the first blow, blood appeared on his forehead.
"General, I want to enlist in the army, I want to kill the enemy under the general!
」
The young man's actions made all the men around him look at Bai Yan with longing eyes.
They came here just to enlist in the army, here in Yanmen, enlisted under General Bai Yan, the Qin people, the Zhao people, and now for them, they don't care anymore.
It's not that they forgot what Bai Qi did in Changping at the beginning, they don't know that Bai Yan in front of them is the person of the Bai family, after Bai Qi.
However, only Bai Yan will treat them as human beings! Even if you die in battle, you don't have to worry about your wife and children at home.
They knew what it meant to follow Bai Yan, but at this moment, looking at the young man kneeling on the ground, some people thought of staying at home for the old and weak, some thought of the empty corn bucket at home, and some thought of the wife and children wearing tattered and coarse cloths before leaving home, holding the baby with expectant eyes.
Outside the city gates.
With the voice of the young man, more and more people looked at Bai Yan, followed the young man, and knelt down towards Bai Yan, more and more.
In an instant, at a glance, a large piece of black pressure was instantly pressed.
They came from different places, even some in the middle of nowhere, and they all had different appearances and experiences, but right now, they were all gathered here from all over the world, with one purpose.
Bai Yan!
They want to enter Bai Yan's command and become Bai Yan's side riders and iron horses!
"General!"
With a man's shout, in an instant, all the men and teenagers around him looked at Bai Yan with red eyes, and shouted in their mouths.
"General!"
"General!
」
In an instant, a general echoed at the city gate, and the sound of a sound that resounded throughout the sky spread throughout the city gate, and at a glance, countless figures were all kneeling on the ground, looking directly at the young man in Qinfu at the front.
Although they have not practiced, at this moment, presumably even if they are given a stick and Bai Yan lets them go to the battlefield, they will not hesitate to rush to the front.
Inside the city gates.
This scene was reflected next to the carriage, and in Zhao Qiu's eyes behind the curtain, listening to the sound of the mountain and the tsunami, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Qiutong's hole flickered slightly.
And on the streets in the distance.
The two of them came to the city gate after receiving the news, but at the moment, they listened to the huge movement, walked out of the carriage, stood in front of the carriage, looked at the scene in front of them, listened to the exciting and surging voice, and looked at the figure in the distance, not to mention that Mi Jing had already seen a sluggish open mouth, it was Yang Duanhe, who had been a horse all his life, was speechless for a long time at the moment, and sighed deeply.
In the shops on the street, in front of the wooden windows on the second floor, there were also countless people from the scholar clan, among whom Chen Ze and Fu Yao saw this scene, and kept shaking their heads in a trance, looking at each other, and finding the shock in each other's eyes.
Among the countless figures on the street, Yang Jin took the clansmen beside him, watching this scene, thinking about something unconsciously.
And not far from Yangjin, Jing Qi and Zhao Mushang, who also came over, at this moment, their faces changed greatly, and they glanced at each other uncertainly.
The appearance of a slight shortness of breath, as well as the look in his eyes, all revealed the panic in the hearts of the two.
...........
In the city of Shanna, the matter of the city gate has been a long time, and for the city of Shannai, it seems to be just an episode.
The walls don't speak, and they don't remember.
However, for the people in the city, it was completely different.
At this moment, in Shanwu City, whether it is the bustling streets, or the restaurants, teahouses, and cottages next to the streets, without exception, everywhere is talking about happening at the city gate
things.
After all, things are too shocking for them and the people, and it is difficult to calm down.
Soon, it spread from person to person, and more and more people knew about it.
With the conversation, whether it was the vendors and people passing by the street, or the scholars drinking next to the woman in the restaurant, they couldn't help but compare the original Li Mu with the current Bai Yan, and without exception, even those who were dissatisfied with Bai Yan had to admit that in some aspects, Bai Yan had a vague momentum to surpass Li Mu.
Don't look at Bai Yan as a Qin person and a child of the Bai family, but compared to Bai Qi at the beginning, as far as the people are concerned, the things Bai Yan has done are also obvious to all.
Bai Yan is indeed a good official.
Not to mention those officials of Zhao State at the beginning, just look at it, there are few people in the whole world who have done those things like Bai Yan.
"What's going on, what's going on in the city today? Why is it so lively everywhere?"
"Brother Clan, you just arrived at Shanwu, don't you know, how much you missed it, just today.........
"Let me tell you, Bai Yan really treated the soldiers under his command well, I heard that those soldiers who died with Bai Yan in battle, Bai Yan will take rewards, and all of them will be distributed to the orphans of the fallen soldiers......
"I tell you! I have a distant relative, her lover is a side rider, not only I have seen it with my own eyes, but even my friends who have been to Yancheng say that Bai Yan not only gives clothes to the soldiers, but also ......."
Walking down the street, there was a lot of talk.
At a glance, many people are regretting that they missed the morning, which happened only for a moment.
I regret that I didn't see it with my own eyes, and now I can only know it from other people's mouths.
Among the pedestrians who came and went, Jing Qi and Zhao Mushang walked together, listening to the noisy chatter around them.
"Don't let it live!"
Jing Qi looked around, saw that everyone hadn't noticed, and whispered to Zhao Mushang.
It has been a long time since the city gate incident, but not to mention that the people in the city are still talking about it, even the two of them are still difficult to calm down at this moment.
The scene at the city gate, in the eyes of both of them, both of them knew what it meant.
They didn't dare to imagine how much of a threat Bai Yan would be to the Chu State once he went south, and even if he won, he would be a miserable victory.
"But he has cronies and guards around him, and it is difficult to assassinate him, and besides, he has never seen it with his own eyes...... Bai Yan's swordsmanship, but where has the Xiongnu sent back the news that the leader of the Xiongnu, Manshan Yu, was indeed almost killed by Bai Yan!"
When Zhao Mushang heard Jing Qi's words, she sighed helplessly, and then made sure that no one around heard her, so she whispered Bai Yan's name.
Looking back on this period of time, the time spent here has been getting longer and longer, but all along, no matter how the two of them contact Bai Yan, it is difficult to find an opportunity in Bai Yan, and neither of them can understand why Bai Yan is so stable at such a young age.
There were three times to meet Bai Yan alone, and then Mi Jing helped the two of them and asked Bai Yan to go to the restaurant several times.
However, it is so many times that they have met, whether it is drinking or chatting, the relationship between Bai Yan and Mi Jing and the two of them is getting better and better, more and more close, and it can even be said that Bai Yan and Mi Jing are almost friends in the world, but from beginning to end, no matter what they say, Bai Yan has no pride at all, and has always been humble and not proud at all.
They are really helpless, and they can't find an opportunity when they want to.
"Let Mi Jing find an opportunity to secretly ask Bai Yan to go out alone!"
Jing Qi said.
Since getting the news from the Xiongnu, Jing Qi knew that the Xiongnu could no longer threaten Bai Yan, and today's events made Jing Qi even more uneasy, if he continued like this, let alone return to Chu as soon as possible, he would return to Chu State, thinking of Bai Yan here in the north of Qin State, I am afraid it would be difficult to sleep.
"You're crazy! Don't mention whether Mi Jing will agree, even Chang Wenjun knows, and he won't let you and me go easily! Changping-kun helped ......."
When Zhao Mushang heard Jing Qi's words, she showed a shocked and frightened gaze, stopped, and turned to look at Jing Qi's eyes, and a flash of anger flashed.
Not to mention that he has always respected Chang Wenjun, even for the support of Chang Pingjun, he will not agree to this matter.
"Without Changpingjun, we will have one less force to help, but Bai Yan is alive, you know what it means!"
Jing Qi turned to look at Zhao Mushang, looked directly at him, and admonished.
If it weren't for the situation, there was no other way, and he wouldn't be willing. For a long time, in his planning, Chang Pingjun is not the person he cares about the most, what really makes him care is Chang Wenjun, whether in Chu or Qin, Chang Wenjun is quite prestigious, in addition to General Xiang Yan, in his Jing Qi's eyes, only Chang Wenjun can be the pillar of Chu State.
But for now.
Bai Yan, he must find a chance to get rid of it, he has a vague premonition, if he doesn't get rid of Bai Yan this time, he will definitely regret it in the future.
"Your Excellency!"
On the street, just when Jing Qi and Zhao Mushang were not giving in to each other, a man hurriedly came to Jing Qi and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Jing Qi.
Seeing this, Jing Qi took the bamboo slip and slowly opened it, and when he saw the contents inside, his face changed greatly.
"Not good!"
After Jing Qi finished reading it, he said softly, his eyes were full of cruel gaze, and then handed the bamboo slip to Zhao Mushang.
When Zhao's mother still took the bamboo slip, she saw the news from the Chu State, which said that she had failed to fight for the throne, and now with the support of the Queen Mother and Li Yuan, Xiong Yu succeeded to the throne as the king of Chu.
"What?"
Zhao's mother was still a little flustered, he didn't expect that he would lose so quickly, obviously General Xiang Yan and other scholars were there, and even Changping Jun was in Chu State.
Thinking that Xiong Yu had succeeded to the throne as the new king of Chu, Zhao Mushang turned her head to look at Jing Qi.
If they don't go back now, if Xiong Yu sits firmly on the throne, Xiong Cheng is afraid that his life will be worried, and when they return to Chu State, what they will see is the corpse of Cheng Shu.
"Back to Chu State!"
Jing Qi sighed, glanced ahead unwillingly, looked in the direction of Bai Yan's mansion, hesitated for a moment, and decided to return to Chu State immediately.
Defeated, and defeated so quickly, this made Jing Qi unexpected, he had said before, in addition to Negative Defeat, whoever is the king of Chu will die!
There is no city of goodness.
On another street, in the carriage, Zhao Qiu and Bai Yan, who had returned from the county guard's mansion, were riding in the carriage.
"How about seeing so many Zhao people respect you so much?"
Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan and said with a smile, he didn't complain to Bai Yan, and waited in the carriage for nearly two hours to be dissatisfied, but asked Bai Yan how he felt now.
"If you announce the identity of the Qi people and lead the Zhao people to restore the Zhao Kingdom, your reputation in the future will be a hundred times better than today, a thousand times, and even a thousand times more famous!"
Zhao Qiu said slowly, looking at Bai Yan's gaze beside him, full of anticipation.
"Okay?"
Zhao Qiu's seductive light voice was enough to make any ordinary man's heart tremble, but unfortunately, the person in front of her was Bai Yan.
Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, glanced at Zhao Qiu, and shook his head.
"What an accident today! As for the fame through the ages, the princess still looks for someone else!"
Bai Yan refused Zhao Qiu without hesitation, and then looked ahead with a calm face.
"Boring! How do you feel that so many people are willing to be under your command, but you are not happy, if you are someone else, you will probably have a lot of ambitions!"
When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan, who was indifferent to fame and even the reputation that has been passed down through the ages, and suddenly felt bored.
In Zhao Qiu's eyes, if today's events were to be changed to anyone else, it is estimated that he would be full of ambition and smile from ear to ear, and even Zhao Jia would dream of getting such prestige and such support.
But Zhao Jia never had it!
Zhao Qiu turned his head and looked at Bai Yan, who was silent without the slightest joy, and looked to the side after a few breaths, and didn't bother to continue talking.
Back to the mansion.
Bai Yan came to the pavilion and saw Wei Lao, and in the pavilion, there were already bamboo slips that were sent one after another.
The autumn harvest has not yet arrived, and those people came to Shanwu in such a hurry, which Bai Yan didn't expect, but now after registering, Bai Yan still has to go back to the autumn harvest before those people, just register a name first.
"Teacher!"
Bai Yan saluted Wei Lao.
Zhao Qiu followed Bai Yan's side, and also glanced at Wei Lao, she knew where the city gate was, Wei Lao must have already known.
"If this matter spreads today, I'm afraid that more people will come to Zen Wu in the future! Other counties will also react, and this matter needs to be reported to Xianyang as soon as possible."
Wei Lao said.
After Bai Yanli finished, he listened to Wei Lao's reminder and nodded.
"Teacher, don't worry, Fang has already discussed with Yang Lao, and Yang Lao will first write to other counties and hand it over to other county guards!"
Bai Yan said.
When Wei Lao heard Bai Yan's words, he was relieved, Bai Yan had already told him about Bai Yan's letter to Xianyang and asked Yingzheng to transfer Yang Yan to Yanmen, and he already knew what had happened.
Thinking of this, looking at Bai Yan who was holding a bamboo slip with his head down, there was a slight smile on the corner of Wei Lao's mouth.
Now here in Yanmen, Bai Yan has won the hearts of the people, and within three or five years of the Xiongnu in the north, I am afraid that they will not even dare to have the idea of going south, and Yang Yan of the Yang family has been transferred to the deputy general of the border cavalry, and the foundation here in Yanmen has finally stabilized.
Looking at Bai Yan in front of him, he thought that when he was in Qi Kingdom, he was sitting on the side of the road, and for the first time, he saw the young man with messy hair and two rags on his back.
The coincidental encounter at the beginning, even he couldn't imagine at that time, in his gaze, this young man who carried a rag bag and went to the river to help him pick up the wine jug would really become his disciple as he wished, and in a blink of an eye, the young man was already wearing the official uniform of the Qin State and serving as the lieutenant of Yanmen County, and governed the Yanmen that was troubled by the Zhao State to such a point.
Wei Lao's heart was full of relief at the moment, in Wei Lao's eyes, Chen Qiu, who wrote the Three Strategies and the Taigong Military Book, when the book was written, was far inferior, and he watched the young man in front of him grow up slowly.
Thinking of the young man's dirty face, he always disliked him and nagged and didn't want him to follow, but he always gave him dry food in the back, Wei Lao's old eyes showed a surging smile.
It's a small thing!
Looking at Zhao Qiu to the side, Wei Lao also keenly noticed at this moment that when Zhao Qiu inadvertently looked at the young man beside him, vaguely, his eyes no longer looked like he was not giving in to the old man after knowing the identity of the young man.
"Sure enough!"
Wei Lao nodded, an expression of "I know it" appeared on his old face, and when he saw Zhao Qiu looking over, Wei Lao looked away, as if nothing had happened.
Look out at the southern sky outside the gazebo.
Wei Lao is clear.
Now that Bai Yan has stabilized Yanmen, Yingzheng has no worries, and in the south, I'm afraid something big will happen!
