"General, the Chu army has abandoned the city and run to the east! General Hewlett-Packard has already led his soldiers to catch up! ”

In the night, cronies hurried to the camp tent and reported to Bai Yanyu.

When Bai Yan heard this, he was a little surprised, and he didn't seem to expect that the Chu army's movements were so fast, according to Bai Yan's judgment of Jing Bian, a veteran of Chu State, it was impossible to be so decisive, obviously there must be a very important person, who had already gone to Qufu City to see Jing Bian, and personally persuaded Jing Bian to abandon the city.

"Whoever burns, kills, loots, and insults the people in the city will be killed. Those who enter the city without permission are guilty of the same crime. ”

Bai Yan was not in a hurry to find out who that person was, the most important thing at the moment was to prevent these soldiers from burning and looting as if they were venting after entering the city.

Many soldiers were the people of Wei before, and many times the greed in their hearts, as well as selfishness, were far higher than the laws in the army.

"No!"

The cronies hurriedly saluted, then turned to leave.

"Immediately, you will lead the iron cavalry into the city and guard the gates."

Bai Yan saw that he had just come to the camp at this time, and said directly.

He hurriedly stopped, gave Bai Yan the order, and then turned around and left the tent.

In the darkness of the night.

In the camp of the Qin army, there was a commotion everywhere, there were densely packed soldiers with torches, and there were many soldiers with long ges and sharp blades, all of whom were at a loss, and they only knew how to blindly follow others.

The most important thing is that there are still many soldiers who have not received orders and do not need to chase the Chu army, and when they saw the chaotic scene, they also left the camp together to chase and kill the Chu army.

Under the illumination of his cronies holding torches, in the camp, Bai Yan instructed the border cavalry generals one by one to assemble their respective commanders and commanders, and then the commanders and commanders went to find people.

"General!"

Xiao He was also escorted by the soldiers and came to Bai Yan, after the salute, Xiao He looked at this scene in the camp of the Qin army, and the shortcomings of the miscellaneous army were exposed at this moment.

Fortunately, HP had been on guard against the night attack of the Chu army, and fortunately, the Chu army did not dare to attack at night.

If the Chu army really used all the troops of the city to attack the Qin army at night, in this big camp, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the Chu army, and it is a matter of time before it is defeated, and the Chu general Jing Fang is obviously worried that the elite of the Qin State under Bai Yan will take the opportunity to destroy their Chu army, so he has not dared to go out of the city to attack at night and fight with the Qin army outside Qufu at night.

"Let's go, let's go into town!"

When Bai Yan saw Xiao He, he spoke, and then rode on his war horse, and rushed towards Qufu City with his cronies and Xiao He.

Qufu City.

Bai Yan rode into the city on horseback, and saw that in the open space in the city, next to the vacant wooden trailers, there was no baggage, but he could clearly see the injured soldiers of the Chu State, lying there in a depressed mood, some who could sit, and when they saw Bai Yan and the iron cavalry soldiers, they all lowered their heads and no longer resisted.

And before Bai Yan could walk for long, he saw that on the street, among the many torches, a group of old men of the scholar clan were standing on the street, and when Bai Yan arrived, the old man led by him stepped forward and saluted Bai Yan.

"Qufu Jing family, Jing Ling, lead the three sons of the Jing family to welcome the general into the city!"

"Qufu Tu family, Tu Suichu, welcome the general into the city!"

"Xiahou Yan, with the Xiahou clan, welcome the general into the city!!"

Qufu City Guard, all the big clans with heads and faces in the past, are all on the street at the moment, greeting Bai Yan.

Everyone was instinctively afraid that the Qin army would enter the city, the family would be ransacked, and even the gate would be destroyed, so after learning that the old general of the Chu State, Jing Fang, had abandoned the city, they came to the city gate as soon as possible to welcome Bai Yan and the Qin army into the city.

As for the back of the Chu State and the old general Jing Fang, recapture Qufu, these scholars are not worried, in the Chu State, none of them have any connections, and whose foundation is not deep, no matter when the Chu State recaptures Qufu, no matter which Chu general leads the troops, they are not afraid.

But now that the Qin army brought, no matter who it was, they were afraid that the family would be catastrophic.

"I have heard the name of General Bai Yan for a long time, and I have ordered someone to prepare a mansion for the general, and there is wine, meat, and women's music, and the general can go to rest."

Jing Ling took a step forward, and after everyone's noisy voices were over, he saluted Bai Yan alone, and Jing Ling's maverick behavior, the other scholars obviously already knew about it, and they didn't have the slightest intention of fighting, and stood quietly in place.

"There is labor! Bai Yan has heard Qu Fuling's old name for a long time, and when he sees it today, it should be Bai Yan's reparation! ”

Bai Yan turned over and dismounted, came to Jing Ling, and saluted Jing Ling.

Qufu Jingjia, although it is only a branch of the Jing clan of Chu State, but in Qufu City, Jing Ling is one of the best in terms of status and fame, if Bai Yan wants to stabilize as soon as possible in Qufu, there will be countless small troubles, and the role of Jing Ling is still very important.

Not to mention, Bai Yan received a letter from the corpse family very early, and after learning that Bai Yan was preparing to attack Qufu, the corpse family had already asked Bai Yan in the letter for the first time not to hurt the Qufu Jing family, now the corpse family and the Jing family have an alliance of in-laws, and the corpse family and the Jing family will help Bai Yan.

How complicated is the Shi clan, after the fall of the corpse family in the Wei State, the status plummeted, but because of the reason for the corpse and the relationship between Bai Yan and the corpse weir, the corpse family has gradually moved closer to Bai Yan, and Jing Ling also learned about the relationship between Bai Yan and the corpse weir, and learned that Bai Yan is a Qi person, so he did not hesitate to propose marriage to the corpse weir.

Once Bai Yan attacked the Chu State, even if Qufu fell into the hands of the Qin State, Jing Ling could also rely on the relationship between the corpse family, the corpse weir and Bai Yan, and then stabilize the status of the Jing family, and even let the Jing family go further when the status of other scholars was in danger.

Regardless of whether Qufu is Chu or Qin, the Jing family will be in this war and will not have the slightest impact.

on the streets.

Illuminated by many torches, Bai Yan and Jing Ling were polite to each other, and in the exchange of words, they also drew closer to each other.

Then, in the face of Jing Ling's invitation to a banquet, although Bai Yan politely declined, he would also agree, and he would go to the banquet in the near future.

All the scholars breathed a sigh of relief, and then when Bai Yan and Jing Ling were talking, everyone laughed and agreed, and after a long time, seeing that Bai Yan had something to do, everyone followed Jing Ling and left together, and each went back to their respective mansions.

Qufu City.

In front of a mansion, the delicate gate was closed, and inside the gate, all the house slaves gathered behind the gate, not daring to say a word, and whenever they heard the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps outside the door, all the slaves' hearts were pounding, and the whole person was tense.

In a quiet atmosphere, at this moment, for all the domestic servants, it was like experiencing a catastrophe, everyone hoped that this night would pass earlier, and everyone was afraid that suddenly the Qin army would come to the mansion, burn, kill and loot, and all of them would die on this night.

After all, the Qin army outside the city is a matter of the Wei people, and it has already spread throughout the city of Qufu, and the Qin army rarely slaughters the city, but who dares to guarantee that people will not take the opportunity to loot Qufu.

Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of iron hooves outside the mansion, which made all the servants in the door tense their nerves, and they didn't dare to move, and they didn't dare to breathe.

All the servants looked at each other in the darkness of the night, hoping that the sound of iron hooves outside the door would pass sooner rather than stop.

However, it backfired, and as the dense sound of iron hooves outside the door became fainter and less, all the domestic servants widened their eyes and their faces turned pale in an instant.

Trembling, after the servant at the head came back to his senses, he hurriedly patted the slave whose legs and feet were trembling on the side, gave him a look, and motioned him to inform the master of the house as soon as possible.

"Go!"

When the servants at the head heard that there was no movement outside the door, sweat dripped down their foreheads, and the quieter the door at this moment, the more frightened they became.

In the mansion.

"Have you hidden your belongings at home?"

"The front gate and back door must be watched, remember, once the Qin army surrounds the mansion, immediately take the female dependents in the mansion and find a place to hide in the mansion."

In the main hall, two middle-aged men in silk clothes, the eldest of which kept walking back and forth, constantly instructing the other women, young men, and young women in the main hall.

Seeing that the women were red-eyed, the girls were all leaning together, looking scared.

The middle-aged man could only sigh.

Now that the family is no longer what it used to be, and now that Qufu is in shock, all they can do is pray that the Qin army will not burn and loot in the city.

"Gu'er, your grandmother is old, if something happens, you should immediately take your grandmother to the barn, where the wood has been vacated, hide in it and make no sound."

The middle-aged man said to a young man about twenty years old, apparently the young man named Gu'er was his heir.

Above the main hall, an old woman with gray hair, her old face was much more stable than those young women, young girls, and even middle-aged women.

"If the Qin army wants to kill, what's the use of hiding?"

The old woman sighed and said softly.

Looking at the appearance of the eldest son, listening to the arrangements of the eldest son, the old woman couldn't help but think that if the lover was still alive, she would not be so flustered.

"Don't cry, what's the use of crying, in the past, let you leave Qufu, one by one I was afraid that the Qin people were outside the city, and now the Qin people have entered the city, no matter how much they regret it, it will be too late."

The old woman looked at the wives and concubines of her two sons, and the daughters, all crying and crying, and the men who were pale and full of panic, and couldn't help but sigh again.

But after all, it is helpless, the old woman in the past said that Qin will Bai Yan in Wei, although he ordered to dig a ditch to divert water, but it was a last resort, it can be seen from the back blocking the canal, his person is not bad, the water diversion is because of the destruction of Wei City, not to mention the life and death of the people, not to mention, there seem to be rumors that Bai Yan has been for the Wei people, and went to Xianyang to ask for food.

Such a general, ordered the army to attack Qufu, and specially left Dongcheng to leave, how could it be difficult for the people to leave.

It's a pity day.

No one in the mansion listened to her advice, worried that if she left Qufu, she would be caught by the Qin people, and she was worried that her family property would be robbed and there would be nowhere to live, so she would all stay in Qufu in the end, believing that the Chu army could hold Qufu City.

This is good, the Chu army has abandoned the city and left, and the Qin people are afraid that they have already entered the city, and it is too late to leave now.

"Mother's ......"

The middle-aged man was about to say something, but suddenly, he saw the servant hurriedly come to the main hall and kneel directly on the ground.

"Oh no, there is Qin Jun parked outside the mansion!"

The servant opened his mouth to report.

The words fell, and in an instant, in the main hall, except for the old woman, almost everyone's faces turned pale instantly, and another middle-aged man also stood up slowly, looking at his brother in panic.

"What should I do?"

"Woo woo woo ~ ~ !!"

The young women, as well as some middle-aged women, were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, but at least they did not cry, while the five or six young women were so frightened that tears appeared in their eyes, especially one or two, who seemed to want the fate they might face next, and they wept silently.

"Mother, quick, Gu'er, hurry up and take your grandmother to the barn!"

The older man's breath was restless, and his first thought was to let the eldest son take his mother into hiding.

However, the old woman shook her head at this time, got up tremblingly, and held the crutch in one hand.

"Zhan'er, Yu'er, follow the old woman, go to the door to greet the Qin army, and let people move all the money and property in the house to the courtyard, and there must be no private collection."

The old woman said, and when she had finished speaking, she glanced at the women who had been frightened, and the women, and then looked at the door of the main hall, and walked slowly.

"Sui'er!"

Ram Yu looked at his mother's appearance, thinking of his age, and finally let his mother worry, even at this time, he didn't take care of his mother, Ram Yu's eyes were red, he turned his head, and asked his daughter to come over to support her mother.

Under the scolding of Ram Yu, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old was full of fear, but when she saw her father's eyes, she still held back the fear in her heart, stepped forward in small steps, and supported her grandmother.

A moment later.

Just outside the gate of the main hall, soon, under the gaze of the old woman and the ram Zhan and ram Yu, I saw that under the corridor in the distance, there were iron cavalry soldiers holding torches and wearing Qin swords.

Seeing those soldiers of the Qin State who had been killing people on the battlefield all year round, not to mention the girls next to the old woman, even the middle-aged Ram Zhan and Ram Yu were full of nervousness, and their faces were full of panic.

The two of them don't know if they will survive tonight.

After a few breaths, several people saw that a young Qin general was walking towards them, followed by several Qin generals.

Looking at the young general of the Qin State, who was able to command so many soldiers of the Qin State, Ram Zhan and Ram Yu couldn't help but be surprised.

"General, the treasures of the mansion have ordered the servants to move in, and please spare our family members!"

The old woman looked at the young Qin general who came over, prayed softly, and then knelt down.

The man next to him hurriedly followed and was about to kneel.

However, to her surprise, just as she was about to kneel, she saw a pair of hands that suddenly helped her grandmother beside her up.

Not to mention the surprise of this scene, the two brothers Ram Zhan and Ram Yu, and even the old woman all looked at the person in front of him, General Qin, in astonishment.

"I'm not here to kill people and take money."

Bai Yan gently helped the old woman up, spoke, and then turned around and asked the cronies behind him to wait in the courtyard.

Ram Zhan, Ram Yu, and Ram Sui'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the Qin army's soldiers taking orders to leave, and then looked at the general who had given the order.

The old woman was also looking at it with puzzlement at the moment, and the general of the Qin State in front of her turned around and kept looking at her.

"The general is not for money, why is that?"

The old woman couldn't help but ask, after all, the old woman didn't believe it, Qufu was so big, this general of the Qin State happened to come here, and the general of the Qin State always came here for a reason.

"For my grandmother!"

Bai Yan looked at the old woman, smiled slightly, took a step back, raised his hand, and slowly saluted the old woman in front of him.

Grandmother?

When the old woman heard Bai Yan's words, she hadn't come back to her senses yet, and when she thought of something, she saw Bai Yan's ceremony, which immediately made the old woman inside, as well as all the people of the Ram clan inside and outside the main hall, all dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on? Why does this general of the Qin State respect his grandmother so much.

"When my grandmother was young, I was taken care of by the Lu family, and when I was young, my grandmother was often in my ear, nostalgic for the past, and the kindness ......"

After Bai Yanli finished, he looked at the daughter of Lu Bo in front of him and explained softly.

After Lu Bo's niece married into the Chu State, her grandmother never had the opportunity to see her again, and for decades, this matter has been in her grandmother's mind, and Bai Yan came here today to see her.

With Bai Yan's words, when Ram Zhan and Ram Yu were still confused, they saw that the old woman had already thought of something, and on her old face, her breathing was constantly short, and tears filled her eyes, and after two breaths, she began to cry.

"Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying!"

This old woman, who was old and had gray hair, looked at the young man in front of her, her mouth open, repeating a name, and tears kept flowing down her cheeks.
