Chapter 20 Qi and Yan

Yan Yan's carriage drove on the roads of the Qin State and headed towards Hangu Pass.

The speed of the carriage was not fast, and it even stopped for a while, chatting with the farmers, merchants, and hawkers along the way, and listening to the people's livelihood.

Yan Yan is thin and weak, and he looks sick.

It's very easy to blend in with the people who are just like him.

Yan Yan, who was dressed in disguise, was wearing a black dress sewn from coarse kudzu cloth with several patches on it, no shoes on his feet, and no pair of straw sandals.

Now he was helping to collect wheat in the field, and the sickle was extremely sharp in his hand, and he worked at a speed of two.

The main family saw Yan Yan's diligence and gave him two more steamed buns when they shared lunch.

Yan Yan distributed the steamed buns to the older ones.

The old man's son died on the battlefield in the service, and the old man had to come out to work as a microphone to make ends meet.

The old man looked at Yan Yan and said, "The first king was benevolent, and we all have surplus food in our family, but I still have three grandchildren to raise. ”

Yan Yan nodded in agreement.

The old man said: "Little brother has children." ”

Yan Yan shook his head.

The old man said, "Looking at the appearance of the little brother, he is also a pitiful person, I don't know where the little brother is." ”

Yan Yan "Xianyang. ”

The old man hurriedly got up and saluted, "It turns out that it is still a little brother from the capital, I don't know if the little brother has seen Lu Xiang." ”

Yan Yan nodded.

The old man took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "Lu Xiang is also a qualified minister, the benevolent government of the first king has been implemented, and with the help of Lu Xiang, it has been implemented thoroughly, and there is no situation where the decree is not reached, it can be said that it is a clear phase." ”

The old man chattered endlessly, and Yan Yan nodded in agreement from time to time, and then continued to listen.

When the sun passed a little and it was not so hot, many wheat harvesters once again devoted themselves to the work of cutting wheat facing the loess with their backs to the sky.

Yan Yan is still skillful, and finally finished cutting the mu of wheat before dark, and after the main family invited him to eat and paid the wages, the wheat customer who had already set a time with the person walked towards the next family, and the wheat customer who was not set was walking towards the distance with a sickle on his back, intending to see if he could meet the master who needed to cut the wheat.

Yan Yan left the countryside and walked towards the county seat.

In the darkness of the night, he blended with the night as he wore the night.

Back outside the county seat, Yan Yan sat down outside the city and waited for the gate of Tianming City to open.

In this way, all the way through the mountains and rivers of the Qin Kingdom, Yan Yan bathed in snowflakes and arrived at Hangu Pass three months later.

Passing through this pass, there is the rich Kwantung Plain, which is also the target that the Qin State is about to conquer.

The soldiers guarding the gate looked at the broken carriage and stepped forward and said, "Who are you and where are you going, there is a way." ”

Yan Yan got out of the carriage, and the soldier who saw his full appearance jumped, what is the matter with this person, he is still barefoot on such a cold day.

Yan Yan took out an identity token from his bosom, which was a jade plate made of white jade.

Qin Jun took a look at it, saluted and said, "See your lord." ”

When he saluted, the Qin army in the rear also saluted and said, "See your lord." ”

Yan Yan took back the jade plaque and said, "Where is General Meng?" ”

The soldier said, "Go back to your lordship, at the command post in the gate." ”

Yan Yan got into the carriage and said, "Lead the way." ”

"Yes, sir."

The Qin army walked in front, and the carriage followed slowly behind, all the way to the command post of Hangu Pass.

Meng Fu had already received a message from the soldiers, and had already appeared at the door to wait.

Meng Fu's attitude towards Yan Yan and his attitude towards Lu Buwei are like the two of them, and Meng Fu knows in his heart what kind of status Yan Yan has in Ying Zheng's heart.

After Meng Fu saw Yan Yan, he saluted first: "Meng Fu has seen the Taishi." ”

Yan Yan also saluted: "I've seen General Meng." ”

Meng Fu walked towards the command post with Yan Yan and ordered the soldiers to leave the carriage and take care of it.

The soldier who led the way saw that the general Meng Fu not only came out to greet this person in person, but also saluted first, and even heard something, the general called the person Taishi.

The soldier felt that he was enough to brag about the capital of the military account today, and no one could compare.

In the command post, Meng Fu asked people to bring wine, and after Meng Fu poured a full sea bowl, he said to Yan Yan, "Master Taishi, please." ”

Yan Yan shook his head and said, "It's not good here." ”

Meng Wei nodded and said, "I know, but the master doesn't know, there is no tea here, so I can only treat guests like this." ”

Seeing this, Yan Yan had no choice but to take a sip of the sea bowl, and his mouth crossed like a flame, and then burned to the tip of his heart.

A rare spirit.

Meng Fu said: "Taishi, this is? ”

Yan Yan" went to Qi State. ”

Meng Fu: "Didn't Cai Ze go to Qi Kingdom?" What does this mean, Taishi? ”

Yan Yan "Cai Xiang befriended Qi State with this behavior and broke the alliance of six countries. On this trip, I will see if I can lead some peasant children back to Qin to strengthen the agriculture of our Qin country. ”

Meng Fu: "Aren't I a farmer in the Qin State enough?" ”

Yan Yan shook his head and said, "What does the general think is the foundation of a country?" ”

"Military, troops, people, court, king." ”

Yan Yan nodded and shook his head, he looked at Meng Yu and said, "It's food." ”

"As long as the country has enough food, everything in the general's mouth will usher in explosive growth."

"Does the general know what the most dead people are?"

"War, disease. ”

Yan Yan: "Wrong. ”

"It's starvation."

Yan Yan said, "A war that can kill hundreds of thousands of people is still relatively rare, and ordinary wars are basically thousands of dead people, most of whom are prisoners. ”

"But every year, because there is not enough food, ordinary people, children, women and children on the street starve to death, that is tens of thousands of deaths."

"There is also such a custom in some places, when the old man loses his productive capacity when he is old, he will be carried up to the mountains by his heirs and abandoned in the mountains."

"If such an old man in the family is not carried into the mountains by the heir, the people around him will think that the heir is not filial."

Meng Fu drank wine and looked at Yan Yan.

Yan Yan: "I started from Xianyang, and it seems that such stories are not uncommon along the way. ”

A day later, Yan Yan left Hangu Pass and mixed with the people and drove in the direction of Korea.

This is the second time Yan has set foot on South Korean soil.

Traveling all the way through the land of Sanchuan and Yichuan, which originally belonged to the Qin State, Wei Wuji attacked Qin in one row and took all of them back.

This time, the biggest winners should be Han and Wei.

Without any effort, he took back all the territories occupied by the Qin State, and also took back the territories that were attacked during the reign of King Zhaoxiang.

Yan Yan looked at the costumes of the Qin people around him and knew that most of the people in these places had been assimilated by the Qin State and were accustomed to the politics of the Qin State, so they would definitely not have any sense of belonging to Korea.

Yan Yan looked at the surroundings and was fast, at most three years, Sanchuan and Yingchuan would return to the embrace of Qin again.

After a slow journey, I finally arrived at Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, after half a month.

Ji Wuye, the general who led the army to attack South Korea last time, has become the great general of South Korea, commanding the soldiers and horses of the whole country.

According to Xuehua's spies by his side, this solution seems to have great ambitions, and he actually wants to control King Han, and he is very close to Prince Han.

Yan Yan wandered in Xinzheng City, dressed as a refugee, stepping on the ice and snow barefoot, wandering in Xinzheng City.

Yan Yan stayed in Xinzheng City for three days, and then left to defend the country.

Two months later, Yan Yan appeared in Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

Yan Yan found a teahouse, then went in and put a snowflake mark on the counter, the boss glanced at him, and then led him upstairs, after entering a room, opened a secret door and said, "Please." ”

Yan Yan walked in, and after a while, someone came to salute and said, "My lord." ”

Yan Yan said: "How is the situation of the Qin envoy coming to Qi. ”

"Back to my lord, the Qin envoy was extremely difficult at the beginning of the Qi Kingdom, and it was not until he bought off the Xiangguo that he won the victory, and there was a turnaround."

Yan Yan nodded and said, "Where are the disciples of the Qi Kingdom peasant family gathered?" ”

"In a valley outside Linzi City."

Yan Yan: "How many peasant disciples are there, and who is there to lead them." ”

The visitor shook his head and said, "There is a lot of security there, and non-peasant children can't go in if they don't have enough." ”

Yan Yan looked at him and said, "Go find out." ”

"Yes."

With that, he left.

Yan Yan also reappeared on the streets, like in Xinzheng, wandering around the city.

Winter has passed, and there is still half a year before Yingzheng ascends the throne, and three months of this half year are used to hurry, that is, three months to persuade the peasant family to join the Qin State?

Yan Yan felt very interesting when he thought of this, I wonder if there is a person in the peasant family who can see the general trend of the world clearly and promise to enter Qin?

Yan Yan looked at the Qi Palace, Qi Wangjian was as young as Ying Zheng, but the two had completely different experiences.

Ying Zheng has long understood the art of the emperor under his own teaching, mastered the heart of the emperor, and he has achieved the situation that he can control for anyone, so in history, LΓΌ Buwei's control of the government will never happen, and even when LΓΌ Buwei shows a trace of wanting to be a minister, it is when his death comes.

But what about this King of Qi? Not only did the government fall into the hands of his relatives, but even Xiangguo, a position of power that was enough to fight against his relatives, was controlled by his relatives and became a puppet, which is really pitiful.

Yan Yan turned to leave, and a black coat faded away from the street, slowly disappearing.

Three days later, Yan Yan showed up at another restaurant, waiting for someone to tell him what he wanted.

"My lord, the subordinates and others have found out that the only peasant disciples in that valley are the peasant family elders Tian and the leaders, and they seem to be watching over something."

Yan Yan said, "How many people." ”

"It's about a hundred and twenty people."

Yan Yan nodded and said, "Got it." ”

"The subordinates retired."

Yan Yan looked at the closed door, one hundred and twenty people.

Yan Yan's carriage left Linzi and headed for the valley.

On the way, the two fierce tigers who had already hunted three groups of people called out.

The two tigers were wounded, apparently from hunting three groups of men.

Yan Yan gently touched my wound as she touched them, and there was a cruel look in her eyes.

As if sensing his emotions, the two tigers roared in unison.

The Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest startled countless birds and scattered them in the air.

Yan Yan's eyes returned to peace, he untied his horse, abandoned the carriage and rode slowly towards the woods, two fierce tigers following behind.

After a day, Yan Yan arrived at the valley mentioned by the intelligence, stood on the cliff and looked at the stars below, turned his horse's head and walked towards the darkness.

The night is no different from the day, let alone the two-headed tiger.

Yan Yan tied his horse to a tree and walked towards the valley.

The peasant children who were guarding the valley found him, and were about to come forward to inquire when they suddenly looked behind him with a frightened face.

He dropped the fork in his hand and ran to the valley, shouting as he ran, "There is a big worm!" ”

The warning sound woke up the entire valley, and a large number of peasant children came towards the valley under the leadership of the leader.

At the mouth of the valley, Yan Yan stood in the dark night, with four fists behind him, and Omori's green lantern was lit up.

Tian He stepped forward and asked, "Who is here?" ”

Yan Yan said, "I am a person from the medicine family, and when I was picking herbs in the mountains, I saw the fire here, so I came here to ask for water to drink and rest for a night." ”

Tian He looked at Yan Yan, he was barefoot in kudzu, and there were two big insects standing behind him, he was sure that he had never seen such a big worm.

Tian He said, "It turned out to be a disciple of the medicine family, please come in." ”

Tian He would not suspect it at all, because it is rumored that the disciples of the medicine family and the medicine family would often be accompanied by fierce beasts.

Yan Yan thanked him, and followed the peasant children into the valley.

A large number of peasant children were attracted by the two tigers and gathered in the distance to watch the two.

Yan Yan drank water, looked at the fire, and listened to the words around him.

Tian He then walked towards him, and the two fierce tigers immediately let out a low roar of warning.

Tian He stopped and looked at Yan Yan and said, "Brother, look. ”

Yan Yan stretched out his hand to signal them to quiet down, and the two tigers lay down behind him again.

Tian He walked up to Yan Yan's side and said, "Where does the little brother come from?" ”

Yan Yan said, "Qin Chuan." ”

Tian He looked at Yan Yan and said, "Qin Guo is coming, isn't Hangu Pass closed?" How can the little brother come out of the customs. ”

Yan Yan said: "Collect medicine in the mountains, cross the mountains and mountains, and leave the border of friendship." ”

Tian He nodded, indeed, in the deep mountains and old forests, there is no border to speak of.

Tian He asked, "How did that brother get here?" ”

"In the mountains and forests, when you meet medicine, you can pick medicine, go up the mountain, and enter the forest when you meet the forest, and you will come here all the way." ”

Yan Yan shook his head and looked at it, and said, "I don't know what you are doing here to live in the valley for a long time?" ”

Tian He said, "Alas, don't say anything about it. ”

Yan Yan nodded and said, "I will still have to look for medicine in this mountain in the future, if it is convenient, I may have to disturb Your Excellency in the next few days." ”

Tian He looked at Yan Yan and saw that his expression was calm and unwavering.

He nodded, "Just come, the peasant family will always welcome you." ”

Yan Yan hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency." ”

Tian He shook his hand and said, "What is there to thank for this." ”

The two exchanged views with each other for a while before Tian He left.

Yan Yan fell on the belly of one of the tigers, looking at the bright starry sky, and the next thing was to probe the tone of this peasant family to see if he could convince them to enter Qin.

At dawn, Yan Yan got up and left, and walked towards the place where the horse was tied, he wanted to go back to the city and send a letter back to Qin.
