Hu Jin hurriedly left the mansion and took a carriage to the governor's mansion.
After a while.
In the governor's mansion.
Yang Xian, Li Pingyan, and Hu Jin were sitting on their knees in a study room. On the wooden table in front of them were two volumes of bamboo slips sent by Gao Nu.
"Then Bai Yan had good intentions, but based on speculation and no evidence, he wrote a letter asking for help."
Li Pingyan looked at the bamboo slips, then shook her head and sighed.
As a censor, Li Pingyan also received a letter from Bai Yan, the governor of Gaonu County. However, after reading the content, Li Pingyan's first reaction was that it was not taken into consideration.
Based on my own guess, I wrote to Yuzhong, asking the county governor and censor to ask for help from other counties.
There is nothing more ridiculous than this in the world.
"But Bai Yan's letter is very reasonable and well-founded. Beijun is indeed abnormal."
Hu Jin said.
Among the three, he is the only one who believes in Bai Yan.
After all, he had gotten along with Bai Yan during the battle to destroy Han, and he knew that although Bai Yan was young, he had a reserved temperament and would not say these words easily, or even ask for help.
But believe it or not, Hu Jin also knew that Bai Yan had no evidence and wanted to ask for help from other counties, but the county governor and the censor would not agree at all.
really.
After Hu Jin finished speaking, County Governor Yang Xian shook his head.
"Beijun is abnormal. It cannot be said that the Yuezhi will raid Shangjun."
Yang Xian, who was in his fifties or sixties, stroked his long beard and said.
It is not difficult to tell from his words that Yang Xian, like Li Pingyan, does not believe in Bai Yan compared to Hu Jin.
Even the bamboo slips on the desk only had two volumes, one by Li Pingyan and one by Hu Jin. As for Yang Xian's volume, after reading it, it was thrown aside casually.
"But Bai Yanruo's guess is correct."
Hu Jin frowned slightly as he listened to what Li Pingyan and Yang Xian said.
Hu Jin also knew that Bai Yan was a little reckless this time, but Hu Jin thought about it, if Bai Yan's guess was true, the consequences would be very serious.
"If Bai Yan guesses that the Yuezhi will raid Shangjun, he should try his best to find out the truth instead of directly submitting a letter!"
Yang Xian said.
In the eyes of Yang Xian, a veteran of the Qin State, if it weren't for Hu Jin today, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to this matter.
The descendant of the Bai clan, named Bai Yan, had indeed made a lot of achievements at a young age during the battle to destroy Han, and was quite famous.
But not to mention Hu Jin, there are Yang Xian and Li Pingyan, who were not born into a family of military generals! It can be said that when Yang Xian led the army to fight, Bai Yan's father may have been still in his mother's womb.
Right now, Bai Yan, a young nobleman, wanted him, as the county guard, to ask for help from other counties based on just a guess without any evidence.
It would be fine if the Huns really came, but if they didn't come, how would Yang Xian explain to the king?
"Indeed, this matter is not trivial and must be investigated!"
Li Pingyan also spoke at this time, looking at Hu Jin.
In fact, both he and Yang Xian knew that Hu Jin had a close relationship with the Bai family.
In the study room.
When Hu Jin heard what Yang Xian and Li Pingyan said, he couldn't help but fell silent.
The county governor, the censor, and the county lieutenant complement each other and check and balance each other. His right is to mobilize the soldiers and horses of a county, and he cannot interfere with other matters.
The power of the county governor is to manage the people of a county. Except for him, Li Pingyan and the city guards of each city, other officials and county governors can be directly appointed and removed.
Although Li Pingyan, the censor, did not participate in the management of troops or intervene in the political affairs of the county, he was responsible for supervising all officials including the county governor and county lieutenants, and could directly write to the censor Zhongcheng, then to the censor doctor, and finally to the censor.
The king took a look.
Regarding the matter of Bai Yan, Yang Xian and Li Pingyan did not know how to write letters to ask for help. He alone would not be able to help.
One day later.
Among the continuous mountains and ridges between Yuzhong and Gaonu.
"Drive~! Drive~!!!"
Gulu gulu~!
More than thirty cavalry soldiers rode on war horses, accompanied by five or six black flags with Qin characters fluttering in the wind, and rushed towards Yuzhong City.
The leader, Bai Yan, was now wearing Qin armor and Qin sword.
After a while.
Looking at several cavalry officers in the distance, Bai Yan raised his hand to signal to stop, and then reined in the horse's rope.
Behind Bai Yan, more than thirty cavalry soldiers slowly stopped with Bai Yan.
"General!"
After several cavalry soldiers coming from a distance stopped, the leading soldier rode forward and handed two scrolls of bamboo slips to Bai Yan in front of him.
After Bai Yan took the bamboo slip, he slowly opened it and looked at the contents inside.
The first volume belongs to the county governor Yang Xian. There are only a few words in it, not many words, but he is asked to investigate and verify.
Putting away the first volume, Bai Yan looked at the second volume. The second volume belonged to General Hu Jin. General Hu Jin also told Bai Yan in the letter that if he could not verify it, it would be impossible to mobilize reinforcements from other counties.
After reading both volumes of bamboo slips, Bai Yan was not surprised and handed the bamboo slips to his confidant.
Under the mountains and rivers.
A famous cavalry soldier was riding on horseback, looking at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan, on the other hand, looked in the direction of Yuzhong City, but it was not as smooth as expected. Two volumes of bamboo slips told him that if he continued to go to Yuzhong, it would probably be in vain.
Because even General Hu Jin bluntly stated in the bamboo slips that without ironclad evidence, the county guard would never ask for help.
But when Bai Yan thought about the people of Gaonu, he thought of the countless people in the city, men, women, old and young, countless children.
"Go to Yuzhong City!"
Bai Yan's eyes gradually became firmer, and then he took the lead and continued towards Yuzhong City, riding his horse.
He did it despite knowing that he couldn't do it. Even if there was little hope, Bai Yan still wanted to see the governor with his own eyes.
"promise!"
"promise!!"
More than thirty cavalry officers, together with the few cavalry officers just now, quickly followed Bai Yan and rushed towards Yuzhong City.
Another day has passed.
In Yuzhong City, at the top of the city, a Qin official stood guard holding a long sword, while at the city gate, several Qin officials were checking the people coming in and out.
A cavalryman came quickly on horseback. After arriving in front of the Qin official, he took out a wooden sign.
"The governor of Gaonu City wants to see the county governor!"
The cavalry officer spoke.
After confirming that his identity was correct, he looked at the more than thirty cavalry soldiers in the distance, riding towards the city gate. Several Qin officials guarding the city gate nodded one after another and then moved out of the way.
Approaching with the sound of dense horse hooves.
A moment later, under the gaze of the Qin officials, a famous cavalry soldier on a war horse galloped past in front of him.
Northern grasslands.
On a mound, three Yuezhi men, riding horses and wearing scimitars, were chatting.
Looking around the three men, I saw that the open grassland was extremely empty, with only the huge cold wind howling continuously.
At this moment, the three people saw a crowd of thousands of people on horseback suddenly appearing in the northern sky, slowly coming towards them.
Because they knew that they were people from other tribes who would come to gather in the past two days, the three of them did not panic.
"Go and tell Princess Yangjin that the warriors from the Turlu tribe in the north have arrived first!"
Among the three, the leading man said to the other.
Another Yuezhi man nodded, turned around and rushed towards the direction of the tribe.
Do it if you can't do it, fight if you can't fight it!
