The mountains were surrounded by clouds and mist. The Yan Mountain range was originally a natural barrier that protected the Yan Country from the harassment of Donghu and other foreign races. Usually, other than a group of Yan soldiers patrolling in the deep mountains, there were very few people. Now, the Yan Country's fate had changed, and thousands of miles of land, other than Liaodong, was in the hands of the Qin Country. It was just that the power of the State of Qin had yet to extend over, but there were many Jianghu forces entrenched here.
"Hey, isn't this Hall Master Tian Meng? Did you have a smooth journey?"
Thousands of people had thousands of faces. The Zhu family's Sichuan opera face book showed a happy expression, as if they were welcoming an old friend.
However, everyone knew that the two of them did not get along. Thinking back to how Tian Meng was released from the prison of the Qin army a few months ago, the irony in this was much greater.
"Zhu family, stop bullshitting.”The hot-tempered Second Hall Master Tian Hu, who was standing beside Tian Meng, cursed. His injuries had yet to recover, but his voice was still as loud as ever.
"When the disciples of our Lie Mountain Hall were fighting there, where were your people? He only knew how to hide in the back.”
"Yo, yo, yo, what are you talking about, Second Leader? The Qin army's crossbow formation split the mountains and broke the sea. Although my Zhu family is more courageous, it's not to the extent of filling our brothers in!”
The Zhu family's face was red and purple at times. They looked timid and afraid, but in fact, there was only one core content: You big idiots, would I be so stupid as to jump into a trap set by others like you?
"You…!" Tian Hu was furious. He was about to make a move when he was stopped by Tian Meng.
"Why did Xia Kui summon us here?”
Tian Meng knew that the more they were entangled in this matter, the greater the face their Lie Mountain Hall would lose. Putting aside the fact that the disciples of the Lie Mountain Hall had been captured by the Qin army, they had been sent back unscathed after being captured. At first, Tian Meng was worried that the people from the peasant family would suspect that they were colluding with Ying Tianyu. However, when he met the people from the farmer's family, their reaction was beyond Tian Meng's expectations.
Young Master Qin Ying Tianyu led 100,000 Qin troops to form a formation with their backs against the water at the edge of the Yi River and defeated 400,000 Yan troops. After this battle, King Xi of Yan no longer had the strength to compete with the Qin country. He could only flee to Liaodong with a few thousand troops, struggling to survive.
After this battle, Ying Tianyu's name shook the world.
Most importantly, his son's methods of governance were also very brilliant. He appeased the refugees, eliminated the bandits, and recruited the exiled nobles of the Yan Country. In just two months, the Yan Country had returned to its pre-war orderly state.
The peasants returned to their fields and settled down to work. Merchants traveled from north to south in an endless stream. The soldiers patrolled the roads and killed bandits in the forest. The King of Qin was preparing to set up prefectures and counties in the land of Yan. The officials he sent had already come to manage the land of Yan. From the disputes between the common people to the administrative affairs of a prefecture, everything was now handled in an orderly manner.
The pain of war needed time to heal, and the ruins needed people to clean up and rebuild. During the Battle of Yi River, every family in Yan Country wore mourning clothes. The hatred of the people of Yan Country towards Qin Country could not be any greater. However, two months had passed, and the time of peace had arrived. The people who were initially suppressed by the powerful Qin army had turned from turbulent to calm. Even if the undercurrents were still turbulent, as long as time passed, it would probably not be a problem.
Tian Meng was originally worried about colluding with the Qin army, but now, it became a matter of course for the other five halls of the farmer's family. He seemed to be saying,"The reason why they let you go is that they don't take you seriously at all."
Falling from one extreme to the other extreme, Tian Mengxin was not able to take it, so he immediately changed the topic to avoid further embarrassment.
"I'm afraid that the reason why the Hall Masters of the six halls have gathered here is because of that matter.”
Zhu Jia's chubby face didn't change, and his face didn't change either.
"You mean the Shennong Hundred Grass Scripture?”Tian Meng's eyes widened as he spoke in surprise.
"Yes!" The Zhu Clan nodded and spoke in an incomparably solemn manner. "For this matter, the people who were sent out to capture Ying Tianyu have all withdrawn.”
......
"Build a school in Yan and invite local Confucians who are proficient in the Great Seal Script of Qin to teach. No matter how poor or humble, those who are interested in learning can enter the school. Interesting, really interesting."
In a rural teahouse in Zhuo County of Yan, a sage-like, handsome old man said while holding his elegant beard and sipping the coarse tea in the teahouse.
"Uncle-Master." Beside the old man sat a middle-aged man with a goatee. His every move was dignified and elegant.
"What's wrong? Fu Nian."
Xun Kuang and Fu Nian had come from Sanghai, the Qi Kingdom, in civilian clothes. At first, they just wanted to watch the show in the Yan Kingdom. Following that, the situation changed drastically. Ying Tianyu defeated the Yan army and entered Ji City. In the blink of an eye, the Yan army had been pacified. The various forces also restrained themselves and watched.
However, Xun Zi found the development after that interesting. Ying Tianyu built a school in Yandi and planned to invite local Confucian scholars to teach.
Fu Nian shook his head." That young master's idea is a little too whimsical.”
"What do you mean?" Xun Zi blew on the hot tea in his cup and took a sip.
"Regardless of their status, not to mention the fact that the children of poor families are important laborers in the family, how many of them can really go to school? Even if they could go to school, they would have to study hard for ten years. The cost of books alone was not something that ordinary people could afford. After they finished their studies, they would not have any advantage over the children of wealthy families. As such, even if this school was built, not many people would be able to enter and study.”
"You're right to think that way." Xun Zi paused and asked,"But why did that young master emphasize that he would only recruit Confucians who were proficient in the Great Seal Script of the State of Qin?"”
"Martial Uncle, what do you mean?"
Xun Kuang stroked his snow-white beard and said mysteriously,""I can sense that a great opportunity is about to arrive for our scholarly faction. If they couldn't capture it, what awaited the scholarly faction was destruction.”
......
Ying Tianyu was very happy. Life in Yan City was too comfortable. For the past few months, he had been drinking, eating, and chatting with his gentle and beautiful big sister every day. He really had a house and a field at home, and his life was endless. Who knew that Brother Zheng was so unreasonable. An imperial edict arrived, telling him to scram back to Xianyang and report.
Just like that, Ying Tianyu brought 3,000 Qin soldiers and a dozen carriages of treasures back to Xianyang.
"Hey!" The moon was high up in the sky. Ying Tianyu was still sighing in the empty space between the camps.
