Hei Te Changzhi heard the words and smiled and said: "You two are thoughtful, I am a rough man, and the governance of Yiyuan still needs the two of you to work hard. As for the communication problem, the pronunciation of Chinese and the sacred language circulated in Tangun's sanctuary are very similar. The nobles of Baekje We have all learned before that simple communication is not a problem, and foreigners like the lord can speak Goguryeo. As long as some foreigners are assigned to each village, there will be no obstacles to communication of government orders!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jixue and Yang Xi secretly cursed themselves for being stupid for not being able to figure out such a simple thing as using a foreigner.
After the three discussed some details, Heiji Changzhi said goodbye with clasped fists. Due to the high mountains and deep waters in Yiyuan County, there were still bandits from all sides remaining. In addition, Heiji Changzhi wanted to help Qin Jilian train his troops, so he left with heavy military affairs in hand.
"Don't you think there always seems to be a barrier between us and the Baiji clan!" Qin Jixue said thoughtfully as he packed up the account books on his desk.
Yang Di said with suspicion on his face: "General Black Teeth and other generals are very obedient to the government orders and even respect us very much. How can I say this!"
In fact, the two of them didn't notice Hei Te Changzhi's humility. From the exchange just now, it can be seen that Hei Te Changzhi has strong government affairs capabilities.
Now Qin Ge has handed over the military and political power of Yiyuan County to Heiji Changzhi. However, Heiji Changzhi is very humble and has never dominated government affairs. Now he has handed over all the power of government affairs to Qin Jixue.
Even the reserve Xiang Yong did not show too much desire to control. Instead, he handed over the command of troops to Qin Jilian, and only unified and coordinated command during battle.
Hei Te Changzhi's attitude was modest and even a little humble.
Qin Jixue neatly laid out the copy and said: "In the countryside, even among clans in the same village, there will sometimes be armed fights over water sources. But now the reason why we can live in peace is because we have to take root in Jiyuan and face the surroundings together. They are like wolves and tigers. However, the Baekje tribe is a foreign race after all. Their customs, culture, race, and beliefs are incompatible with the Han people. Aren’t there rumors recently? It is said that the Baekje tribe is a beast in human skin, and the people will use the Nether Feather Rider. Demonization is actually more about prejudice between different races and cultures!”
Yang Di fell into silence after hearing this. Qin Jixue usually seemed taciturn, and sometimes even looked dull. The reason why he held a high position in Taishan County was that many people thought he was the result of a series of auras such as Qin Ge's younger brother and Man Chong's disciple. However, Qin Jixue now looks so far ahead.
After Qin Jixue finished packing up the copy, he shook his head and said with a smile: "This is just my unfounded worry, but I think we should find an opportunity for the Han people and the Baekje people to communicate with each other! Of course, this is something for later, now we should discuss how to prepare for tomorrow's trip Visit the Chen family, because now we can say that the name is not justified. Dongguan County is still nominally the boundary of Xuzhou, and we and they do not belong to each other! And we can only talk about cooperation with them, but cannot stand in the court like before The righteousness highly integrates all forces!"
Yang Di also fell into silence. It was the first time for these two young people to encounter such a difficult problem.
…
Chenjiabao is located in the northwest of Jiyuan County, where the Chen family, a famous family in Jiyuan, gathers.
At this time, a group of cavalry was walking slowly on the rural road in the field. It was Qin Jixue and Yang Di.
Qin Jilian led a team of one hundred cavalry to escort the two. It was not because he was afraid that the Chen family had any bad intentions, but because the public security in Jiyuan was now chaotic, he was afraid that the two would be cut off by bandits on the road.
"Brother Xue! General Black Teeth is unpredictable. His power is beyond imagination. Moreover, he is approachable and proficient in military battle formations. During this period, the reserve army has been completely transformed. Even I have improved a lot through his guidance!" Qin Jilian was completely impressed by Hei Te Changzhi.
Qin Jixue wanted to learn about the Baekje tribe from his brothers, and said thoughtfully: "The Baekje tribe was exterminated in the Goryeo Civilization Zone. They went through untold hardships and immigrated here. Their national character is tolerant and humble. , this can be seen from the fact that General Black Teeth has the peak strength of a god general, but he is humble and approachable, and has no airs at all! I want to know their weaknesses and the difficulties you have in getting along with each other!"
Qin Jilian fell into deep thought after hearing this, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Brother Xue, you really confused me. If it is difficult, the brothers of Mingyu Youqi are relatively withdrawn and conservative, and they are not gregarious in their daily lives. They often gather together. Together, it will be difficult for us to integrate into their circle!" Qin Jilian thought for a long time and explained the situation.
Qin Jixue was thoughtful when he heard the words. At this time, Yang Di pointed forward and said: "In front is Chenjiaji. I visited this place with my father when I was seven years old. The market is very big. It is the largest market in Jiyuan. It can be said that people There was a lot of noise and a lot of people..."
However, before Yang Di could finish speaking, he walked around the top of the mountain and was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him. He saw ruins on the river beach, and there was no human habitation anywhere.
Yang Di was so shocked that he sighed for a long time and said, "When will this world of chaos end?"
Qin Jixue was also deeply shocked by the ruins of Manchuan and said: "Yellow Turban bandits, Liangshan bandits, and Taishan bandits, they only know how to plunder, but they do nothing to build and develop the people. They are like locusts, plundering and poisoning the people. Only by eradicating them will the world Only then will prosperity be restored!”
The Yangqi family was deeply poisoned by the Taishan bandits, and it can be said that they feel the pain. They strongly agreed with Qin Jixue's views: "This is what we have in common with the local powerful. We all want a peaceful and safe development environment, not everyone We are living under the knife of bandits every day, so our proposal to unite the powerful forces in Yiyuan and form a joint defense force, I think will definitely be recognized by them!" Yang Di is full of confidence in this trip to join forces with Chenjiazhuang.
A group of people passed through Chenjiaji and came to a hill behind the market town. They saw that their way was cut off by a wooden village. The wooden village was densely covered with sentries, and there were sentries stationed in layers of light and dark around the posts.
Qin Jilian looked around at the sudden appearance of the wooden village and exclaimed: "This Chenjiazhuang is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Both sides of this wooden village are covered with light and dark ambush positions. Once you step into it, you will be blocked at all levels, and there are arrow towers at the top." With the secret sentry, the arrows can cover the entire mountain. No wonder Chang Xi attacked Chenjiazhuang several times but failed. The person who planned this place is definitely an expert in the art of war and should not be underestimated!"
"Who is coming?" A sharp shout came from the wooden village. Seeing the cavalry approaching the wooden village, the soldiers stationed there immediately became nervous.
"Please tell me, brother, that Taiyang's Yang Di is paying homage to Uncle Chen Rong!" Yang Di rode out, clasped his fists and reported to the sentry post. After the sentry soldier told everyone not to move, he went in to report.
When it was time to drink tea, the gate of the wooden village opened and a group of people walked out. The leader was about thirty years old wearing armor robes and had three strands of long beard. He looked like a man who had read poetry and books.
The man looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Di. He jumped off his horse and walked over quickly. Yang Di also came up to meet him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My nephew, Yang Di, pays homage to my uncle!"
Chen Rong was also a person who valued friendship and righteousness. He quickly supported Yang Xi and said with a choked voice: "You are such a sweetheart. After my brother passed away, I wanted to visit you many times. Unfortunately, the world is in chaos. I didn't expect you to come today! It’s great to see you’re okay!”
Chen Rong asked a lot about the situation of the Yang family, and Yang Di answered them all truthfully. He heard that the Yang family had pledged allegiance to Qin Ge, and that Yang Xian, Yang Di, and others were all serving in Taishan County.
Chen Rong said with emotion: "It is very difficult to live in these troubled times. It is also protected by my brother's spirit in heaven. You have your back against the big tree so you can enjoy the shade! Unlike us, bandits are rampant and life is precarious. You also saw it when passing by the market town..." Speaking of this, Chen Rong's face showed a look of sadness.
But after all, Chen Rong was an old man, and he quickly said with relief: "I'm old now, why are you talking about this? It's a great joy for you to come today. Forget all those unpleasant things, come! Let's talk about it when we get back to the village!" People are invited to enter Dazhai.
Yang Xi couldn't tell Chen Rong's attitude now. He just introduced Qin Jixue and others to him without revealing his identity. He calmly used words to test Chen Rong's position from time to time.
Everyone followed Chen Rong through the hills and came to a valley. They saw that the valley was densely packed with various simple earth and stone huts. There was a courtyard for every ten houses, and each courtyard was separated by a wall piled with huge stones, just like a A small fort.
The forts were connected by dense roads. Qin Jilian, who was also a veteran on the battlefield, was secretly frightened. The outside of Chenjiazhuang was like an iron barrel, and there was a hidden murderous intention inside.
If bandits invade, the village will be filled with traps and enchantment formations, and the people in the courtyard can climb the walls and use local materials to project boulders and trees. Moreover, the courtyards are criss-crossed, so even if the enemy takes over, they will be defended by the higher courtyards. attack.
The design here is so ingenious that even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses would fall into this place, which made Qin Jilian's scalp numb.
Chen Rong led everyone through the winding and maze-like road. Seeing the complicated expressions on several people's faces, he smiled and said: "Dongguan County is now full of bandits. We, the Chen family, together with the nearby powerful people, are here to survive. This is our We rely on the Yellow Turban and Liangshan bandits who have been killed in recent years. They have burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. The fields everywhere are deserted. Now we don’t have much food in storage. We are cutting down on food and clothing to survive!" Chen Rongti Go to the sad place, secretly sad.
During the conversation, Chen Rong invited everyone into a relatively spacious courtyard. As the patriarch of the Chen family, the courtyard he lived in was obviously better than other villagers, but it was also made of accumulated stones. Simple tables and chairs made of wooden boards were placed in the house. .
Chen Rong said with some embarrassment: "My humble house is simple and simple, nephew, please don't laugh at me!" As a wealthy family in Jiyuan County, the Chen family used to have rich clothing and fine food, and lived a luxurious life. Now it is so desolate, which makes Yang Xi feel deeply. At least the Yang family Life is much better than that of the Chen family.
"Uncle, have you heard about what happened in Jiyuan County recently!" After gradually finding out the real situation of Chen Rong and Chenjiazhuang, Yang Di finally started to ask the real question.
Chen Rong had experienced the baptism of war and was about to become an expert in cultivation. Yang Di's sudden visit surprised him. Now Yang Di's question reminded him of recent rumors.
Chen Rong said with piercing eyes: "I heard that General Qin Ge raised a group of monsters. They are no different from ordinary people on weekdays. At night, they turn into ferocious giant monsters and steal the Yellow Turbans from Yiyuan City overnight. I ate everything..."
"Haha!" Qin Jilian couldn't help laughing.
