"Do you know each other?"
In the pavilion, after the three people came to their senses, Yang Duanhe asked everyone to sit down and asked with a smile.
It was just now that Bai Yan was obviously no stranger to Lu Jia and the others, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the three of them.
"Bai Yan is old friends with Lu Qi and Lu Sheng, the nephews of the head of the Lu family, and they are closely related to the Lu family."
Bai Yan said softly without explaining much.
After hearing Bai Yan's words, Yang Duanhe looked at Lu Jia, Gan Si and others with a confused look on his face, nodded in agreement as if instinctively, and smiled without asking any more questions.
Next is the reminiscence between Yang Duanhe and Lu Jia. Seeing Lu Jia come to the door, Yang Duanhe also talked about the incident with Lu Shen, which also means recognition.
Bai Yan didn't say anything to disturb, but knelt down behind the wooden table and drank tea.
Gan Si and Lu You's expressions were still a little dazed. Although they were listening to the conversation between Governor Yang and Lu Jia, they secretly glanced at Bai Yan from time to time.
Bai Yan naturally noticed it, and when his eyes touched him, Bai Yan smiled, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
However, Yang Duanhe and Lu Jia didn't talk for long. A cavalry soldier wearing Qin armor hurried to the pavilion.
"General!"
The soldiers came to Bai Yan and saluted him.
When Gan Si, Lu You, and Lu Jia saw this scene, their Adam's apples moved.
At this moment, he finally saw the cavalry call the young man a general, and his dazed expression finally became more stable.
He is really Bai Yan!
"General, all the traitors and those who escaped have been captured! However, during the capture process, twelve people were injured in the fight with their disciples, and one person died."
The soldiers reported to Bai Yan the situation on the side of the cavalry.
Yang Duanhe heard this and looked at Bai Yan.
"good!"
Bai Yan put down the teacup in his hand when he heard what the soldier said.
"My orders are to be sent completely according to the bounty and title. Those who are injured are sent to the cavalry camp for treatment. The names of those who were killed are sent to my house by Yifang, HP and Yu Qi!"
Bai Yan whispered to the soldiers.
Looking at Yang Duanhe, Bai Yan met Yang Duanhe's eyes. At this moment, Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe both knew that after this incident, they wanted to let Bianqi go north.
This is a test. Even if it seems to be a sure thing, there is still a chance of something going wrong.
"promise!"
After hearing Bai Yan's order, the cavalry officers turned around and left after saluting.
Inside the pavilion.
Yang Duanhe turned to look at the soldier's leaving figure, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"This is equivalent to handing Jue Bian into their hands! Are you serious about not sending some cronies or generals there?"
Yang Duanhe sighed and asked softly.
In Yang Duanhe's eyes, Bai Yan's move was a bit risky, even a little crazy. Zhao Bianqi did not send a close confidant or even a cavalry general.
If something goes wrong with the side rider, Bai Yan will not be able to escape the blame.
"You should know before that no fewer than dozens of agents were ordered to contact those side riders!"
Yang Duanhe thought for a while and reminded softly.
Yang Duanhe always felt that he should dispatch some cronies to take control of the side cavalry before letting them go north.
"Bai Yan knows it, but don't trust the people you employ, and don't trust the people you suspect!"
Bai Yan shook his head, lowered his head slightly and looked at the tea cup in his hand, looking thoughtful, and then said softly: "I believe them!"
While talking.
Bai Yan also knew what the consequences would be behind this move.
The words of Yang Duan and the old general are indeed correct. In any case, they should send their cronies or generals to ride on the side. Even if anything goes wrong, with Ying Zheng's favor, they will not be held accountable too seriously.
However, Bai Yan knew better.
Zhao Bianqi was originally an elite member of the Zhao Kingdom. He was once brave and good at fighting under Li Mu. Although he has surrendered and has no intention of rebellion, it does not mean that Zhao Bianqi really has no worries in his heart.
In the eyes of Dai Jun and other rebel nobles, they were always thinking about making Zhao Bianqi rebel. The previous details were examples.
If Zhao Bianqi is allowed to go north, if he sends his trusted aides or cavalry generals there, that will play into the wishes of Daijun and other nobles.
Since Zhao Bianqi had not been provoked by those craftsmen before, he still stayed.
So now Bai Yan naturally wants to exchange heart for heart and sincerity for sincerity.
Employers should not be suspicious, and suspicious people should not be behind these words. They have to take risks. Countless generals in later generations have proved that when they can prevent it in advance, those who have serious problems will choose to take risks without hesitation, and the rewards they get afterwards will be far less. Far beyond human imagination.
"In that case, I won't say anything else."
When Yang Duanhe heard Bai Yan's words, he stopped trying to persuade him.
After all, it is convenient to lead troops. Although Bai Yan is young, he has his own way of leading troops. The Bai family's iron cavalry, which was famous for its bloody battles, is the best example.
"During this period, I will arrange for those people who work for relief to take over the side riding."
Yang Duanhe said softly.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!"
Bai Yan nodded and said to Yang Duan and Ji Li.
The earliest records of using work for relief began in the Spring and Autumn Period during the reign of Duke Jin of Qi State. It was implemented by Yan Ying, a Qi official. It was the Qi doctor who the King of Chu wanted to use a dog hole to insult. As a result, Yan Ying decided to visit the "Dog Country" or "Renguo" will respond tactfully.
The work-for-relief program was also initiated by Yan Ying.
During the reign of Duke Jinggong of Qi, there was a famine in the state of Qi. The official Yan Ying wrote a letter advising him to send Lun millet for relief, but Duke Jinggong did not agree.
At that time, Jing Gongzheng planned to build a road bedchamber, which was the palace where ancient kings handled important government affairs.
So Yan Ying pretended to be building a platform to provide disaster relief. He ordered his subordinate officials to hire the victims with high salaries, lengthen the road, intentionally delay the completion date, and build the road tall and grand. After three years, it was completed. It also provides a sleeping platform for the victims to survive.
After the road dormitory was completed, Qi Jinggong saw the scale of the road dormitory and complained that Yanzi built the road dormitory too high, which was too laborious for the people and hurt the money, which was a crime to the people.
Yanzi explained that whether the palace is tall or not is not important in itself. The key is whether it is beneficial to the people. If it is beneficial to the people, it is not a luxury. Not only is it not sinful, but it is also a meritorious service to the people. In the past, King Jie of Xia built a spiritual platform. That was what he said. It is a crime for the people to waste money and waste money.
Qi Jinggong thought for a while and finally found that it was indeed the case, so he agreed.
This is the earliest example of work-for-relief work recorded.
Yanmen has experienced natural and man-made disasters, and is in ruins. It has not yet been plowed in the spring, and it has consumed grain and millet. Bai Yan has long ago ordered work-for-relief, and the people will repair the city and build new roads.
The city is related to the safety of the place. If there is a war, the city is the biggest guarantee for the defenders. The reason for repairing the roads is that Bai Yan knows better than anyone else that many places are inconvenient because of the lack of roads. .
The effect of these will be seen later.
Bai Yan is now very lucky that it was Yang Duanhe who came to Yanmen to serve as the county guard.
Thinking back to when he was in the Xianyang Palace, in Ying Zheng's study, Ying Zheng asked who he wanted to be the county guard.
Ying Zheng trusts him, so Bai Yan will not let Ying Zheng down now.
Inside the pavilion.
Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe continued to talk about some Yanmen matters.
Gan Si, Lu Jia, and Lu You looked at Bai Yan and listened to Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe talking about Yanmen affairs comfortably without disturbing them.
At this moment, Gan Si and Lu You, who were peers, looked at Bai Yan. Whether it was because they knew the young Bai Yan or not, their eyes were no longer what they were before, but were replaced by admiration.
At least the two of them knew that if it were them and they were asked to manage the territory of a county, it would not take long for them to become chaotic.
But Bai Yan, who was young, was able to discuss with the old general Yang Duanhe.
Among the three, Gan Si should be the one who regrets the most.
Fortunately, Lu Jia and Lu You didn't know that the boy was Bai Yan at the beginning. Although it didn't matter, they entertained the boy and deliberately tried to win over them.
But Gansi is different.
Gan Si knew Bai Yan earlier than Lu Jia, Lu You and his son.
Thinking back to the time when he first met the young man at the Lu Mansion in Xianyang City, Lu Sheng specifically asked him to take more care of the young man when he had the opportunity.
At that time, he didn't know that the boy was Bai Yan, so Gan Si didn't take him seriously.
Now Gan Si can be said to be filled with regret. Looking back at this moment, he thought, how wonderful it would have been if he had walked around, written letters, and drank and had fun with the young man while he concealed his identity in Shangjun!
As a young man, he naturally does not need his care, but as long as he does it, even if it is just one thing or asking.
I'm afraid Bai Yan will remember his old relationship now and take care of her.
So, are you still afraid that you won't be able to achieve success in the future?
Thinking of this, Gan Si felt so regretful that he wanted to bow his head and straighten his chest.
Everyone in the world knows that Bai Yan is the favorite of King Qin Yingzheng!
The position of Shanwu Chengcheng was obtained by Lu Jia through many connections and a lot of money. If he had a good relationship with Bai Yan at the beginning, and now he is here, Chengcheng? It's probably the city guard!
It seems like there is only one word, but the status and power are worlds apart.
Why were you so blind in the first place?
Regret~!
The more Gan Si thought about it, the more he regretted it.
The bitter taste can only be experienced by him, the client.
At the moment, Gan Si just hopes to find a way as soon as possible no matter what, whether it is contacting Lu Sheng or defecting to Lu Qi, anyway, he can make friends with the young man next to him as soon as possible, and he must not miss this opportunity again.
Gan Si has decided that he only has one Bole in this life, and that is Bai Yan.
If he misses once, he must not let him miss the second time, otherwise he will not rest in peace even if he dies.
Gan Si was thinking.
Not long after, another cavalry soldier came to the pavilion and reported the matter to Bai Yan. After Bai Yan finished listening, he stood up.
"Bai Yan will leave first!"
Bai Yanji said politely.
"good!"
Mr. Yang stood up and returned the gift with his hands. Knowing that Bai Yan had many things to do, he did not try to persuade him to stay, not to mention that he had the son of an old friend here.
When Lu Jia saw Bai Yan was about to leave, he quickly reached out and touched Lu You beside him.
Now Mr. Yang is here. He just came to visit, so naturally he cannot leave immediately, otherwise it will be disrespectful. But Lu You is different. As a younger generation, it is enough to have him as a father here.
"Mr. Yang! Lu You happens to have something to do, so he will send General Bai to Mr. Yang!"
When Lu You saw the look in his father's eyes, he immediately woke up and quickly stood up and saluted Yang Laoji.
Lu You, who had just seen his father's relationship, now shamelessly called Yang Duanhe by his father's title.
"Um!"
Yang Duanhe nodded when he saw this.
As an old man, Yang Duanhe couldn't tell what Lu Jia's father was thinking, but seeing that Bai Yan didn't dislike the father and son, and because they were good friends, he didn't find out.
Gan Si on the side saw this and looked at Lu You with envy.
Outside the governor's mansion.
Bai Yan left the mansion under the escort of his servants.
After leaving the mansion, Bai Yan, accompanied by his close associates, slowly stopped.
At this time, Lu You also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Bai Yan.
"Jiang Bai, my father heard that General Bai was promoted to county captain, so he prepared some etiquette and gave it to the general to express his congratulations."
Lu You said to Bai Yan.
"Thank you!"
Bai Yan returned the courtesy with his hands in hand, not rejecting Lu You's kindness.
Just as Yang Duanhe also accepted the gift from Lu Jia just now, Bai Yan knew why Lu Jia's father came here from Shangjun.
"If Mr. Lu has nothing important to do today, he will go to the prefecture's mansion and Bai Yan will introduce some friends to Mr. Lu."
After Bai Yan finished the ceremony, he looked at Lu You and said softly.
Lu You, who was originally happy when he heard Bai Yan accepted the courtesy, turned ecstatic when he heard Bai Yan introduced him to people.
"Lu You has nothing to do today. Thank you so much, Commander Bai!"
Lu You quickly compiled the etiquette again.
Seeing Bai Yan inviting him to ride in the carriage, Lu You was trembling with excitement. Lu You estimated that if his father saw this scene at this moment, he would be ecstatic.
"Please, Lieutenant!"
Lu You made a gesture to Bai Yan, and then followed Bai Yan into the carriage.
Inside the carriage.
Perhaps because he saw Bai Yan remembering their past friendship and being quite close to him, Lu You took the initiative to talk and build a relationship with Bai Yan along the way.
As for why Bai Yan didn't reveal his identity in the first place, Lu You didn't dare to ask. After all, he wasn't close enough yet. If he asked rashly, it would be easy to give people the impression that he was scolding.
Therefore, Lu You's topic has always been his little sister Lu Ru.
Lu You personally told Bai Yan that he, Bai Yan, had always been the person his little sister admired the most, and one of them was Gao Nu in Shangjun.
Lu You felt that it was a pity that until her marriage to Qiang Yu, Lu Ru did not know that the person she saw in the mansion was none other than Bai Yan, whom she admired.
"Qiangxu?"
Bai Yan was sitting in the carriage, listening to Lu You's words, and also remembered the girl he had met in Lu's Mansion in Shangjun.
That girl is indeed pretty and knowledgeable.
But Bai Yan had no idea about the woman named Lu Ru. After all, if these things could impress him, Bai Yan would not have canceled the engagement with Bai Junzhu without any hesitation.
But what Bai Yan didn't expect was.
The girl named Lu Ru has now become Mrs. Qiang Yu. Thinking of this, Bai Yan couldn't help but sigh, things in the world are impermanent.
When Qiang Yu was ordered to lead his troops, he only achieved small achievements and no major achievements. Unexpectedly, when he returned, he gained a wife.
.......
In Bai Yan's mansion.
Yifang, Yu He and Huipu, all dressed in commoners, were ordered to come to the door of the mansion.
After several months, the appearance of the three of them was still a little different from before. Their sparse beards had not even had time to salute, and their cloths were covered with dust.
Led by a cavalry soldier.
The three of them quickly arrived at the mansion and then came to a room.
Yifang looked at the bamboo slip with his name written on it in his hand. He didn't know why Bai Yan asked the three of them to bring it over. Looking at the study in front of him, the three of them thought that Bai Yan would be in it.
But then, after the cavalry officer opened the door to the room, the scene that greeted them made the three of them freeze on the spot, looking inside with blank eyes.
In the room, candles were lit, and rows of tablets with names engraved on them were erected. Dozens of tablets, large and small, were clearly visible in the candlelight.
Under the leadership of cavalry soldiers.
The three of them slowly came to the room and looked at the tablets above.
"Doctor Qu Lu was killed while attacking the Han camp at the foot of Fuxi Mountain! He was stabbed five times before his death."
"The doctor Li Bo died in a battle with Gaonu in Shangjun while resisting the Xiongnu army. He was hacked seven times before his death."
"The hairpin bird Ling Jiu died in Gao Nu in Shangjun while resisting the Xiongnu army. He was hacked six times before his death."
"Gongcheng Ji Qu died in Gao Nu in Shangjun while resisting the Xiongnu army. He was hacked thirteen times before his death."
...
Yifang, Yu He, and HP looked at each tablet, at the names on them, at the cause of death, their eyes were blank and full of disbelief.
These.
They are all memorial tablets of generals who died in battle.
Bai Yan actually enshrined the monuments of all the fallen generals.
Looking at this scene at this moment, only the three people who have been generals can understand how incredible it is, and what Bai Yan represents behind this action.
】
This was something that General Li Mu, or even everyone, had never done.
After spending their whole lives in the army and fighting bloody battles for the generals, there is probably nothing. For the three of them, nothing could be more shocking than seeing this scene in front of them.
At this time, not only HP and Yu He, but also Yifang suddenly remembered the bamboo slips in their hands.
There was also the name of a fallen soldier written on it!
With this thought, under the gazes of Yifang, HP, and Yu He, the cavalry soldiers turned around.
"The general has an order, give it to me!"
The cavalry soldier said softly.
One sentence immediately shocked the hearts of the three people in Yifang.
Instinctively, he handed the bamboo slip to the cavalry officer. Under Yifang's gaze, the soldier took the bamboo slip with both hands, came to the wooden stand aside, took out a roll of bamboo slips, and then put the bamboo slips together with the bamboo slips inside. The other bamboo slips are tied together to form a roll of bamboo slips.
After doing all this, the soldier placed the bamboo slips on the wooden frame.
This scene.
A simple move, but in an instant, Yifang's eyes turned red, and tears even appeared in the eyes of this burly man.
Everyone knows what this action means.
The words "General has an order" just now echoed in the minds of the three people in Yifang.
Yifang turned his head and looked at the tablets with names in front of him.
A scholar dies for a confidant!
Perhaps this sentence not only appeared in Yifang's heart, but also Yu He and HP's eyes turned red.
Thinking of the injured soldiers who had been sent to the cavalry camp and received the same treatment as the cavalry soldiers, Bai Yan paid for the treatment. The families of the fallen soldiers also received money sent by the cavalry.
The three of them all clearly remembered everything Bai Yan did from the beginning.
Not only the three of them, but also all the soldiers saw it.
Not to mention, Bai Yan was almost assassinated on the way back to Yanmen because he helped them, the Zhao people, and the surrendered soldiers.
Now they have no place to repay their kindness, and no place to express their strength. At this moment, when they come here and look at the scene in front of them, the three of them no longer want to go back to work, but want to go to the battlefield.
Kill the enemy!
Kill the enemy for Bai Yan!
As long as they don't massacre Zhao people, they will kill whoever Bai Yan tells them to kill!
