Chapter 142: Nanyang County Magistrate
Nanyang County.
Nanyang, formerly known as "Wan", is also known as "Jade City, Medicine City". In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Nanyang belonged to Jingzhou. Because it was in the south of Zhou, it was called "Zhou Nan" by the Zhou people. In the Warring States Period, it belonged to Chu and Han. Before the demise of Han, the territories and cities under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County were all seized by Qin and established as Nanyang County. A general who was born in Han but received great favor from Zheng Ge was appointed as the governor of Nanyang County.
have to! have to! have to!
On this day, three thousand cavalrymen, led by Tian Xuan, entered Nanyang County like an unstoppable black dragon. The horses' hooves landed on the ground in unison, making dense noises. Endless dust flew up, and behind these three thousand cavalrymen, it turned into a dancing gale.
"In another half an hour, we will reach Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang County!"
After entering Nanyang County, Tianxuan abandoned the somewhat flashy carriage and rode on war horses with Yanfei, Yueshen, Da Siming and Shao Siming.
The sun was high in the sky, and Tianxuan, who was not yet an adult, rode on the back of a tall horse like Huoyun, but there was no sense of disobedience. He held the reins tightly with both hands, and put his feet firmly in the stirrups of the high bridge saddle, clamping the horse's belly. Even when he was galloping, he could still talk with Yanfei and others who were accompanying him.
"Maybe, as soon as you arrived in Wancheng, the Nanyang prefect ordered you to be captured and presented to King Han An!" When the Moon Goddess heard Tianxuan's words, her cold and delicate face was full of amusement and she teased.
Tian Xuan said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily! Along the way, the cities of Nanyang County that we passed by still had the flags of our Qin State hanging, proving that this Nanyang County Governor, who was born in Han and was a brother-in-law of King Han An, did not rebel. At least, he has not yet raised the banner of rebellion!"
"You also said that the Nanyang County Magistrate is Han Wang'an's brother-in-law." Yan Fei chuckled, "Maybe he plans to prepare a generous gift before joining Han Wang'an." At this point, although Yan Fei galloped on her horse like a man, she still stared at Tian Xuan meaningfully, "Now, you've delivered yourself to my door!"
"If that's true, if the Nanyang County Magistrate wants to rebel, he will most likely arrange a Hong..." Tian Xuan almost brought up the term 'Hongmen Banquet' which had not yet appeared, "a banquet, poisoning the food and wine. Then, I'll have to ask Sister Yanfei and Sister Yueshen for help."
"rest assured!"
The Yin-Yang School produces sorcerers, although most of the Yin-Yang School sorcerers are mainly engaged in refining elixirs. However, it involves medical skills after all. Since ancient times, medicine and poison have been inseparable. With the ability of Yin-Yang School sorcerers, there are only a few poisons in the world that can be hidden from them. Hearing Tianxuan's words that were not without a pleading meaning, Yanfei and Yueshen, the two girls, had a strong sense of pride on their beautiful faces, and responded in unison.
……
Wancheng.
It borders Fangcheng in the north, Tanghe in the east, Xinye in the south, and Wolong in the west. It is a veritable battleground for military strategists.
Hundreds of years later, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, a treacherous hero in troubled times, fired the most expensive cannon in Wancheng, killing his eldest son Cao Ang, his nephew Cao Anmin, and his general Dian Wei. It was because of Cao Ang's death that Cao Pi came to power, triggering a series of terrible consequences. I'm afraid few people would disagree with the description that Wancheng changed the fate of Cao Wei and broke the national destiny of Cao Wei.
Of course, that is something that may or may not happen hundreds of years from now.
During the war-torn Warring States Period, Wancheng was just the seat of Nanyang County.
Call!
Three thousand cavalrymen, led by Tianxuan, marched to Wancheng in a mighty force. When they were only a few hundred feet away from Wancheng, Tianxuan, who was leading the way, suddenly pulled the reins. Then, the Huoyun people, who were tamed by Tianxuan, stood up and stamped their feet. Seeing this, the three thousand Qin cavalrymen, who followed orders and had strict discipline, pulled the reins one after another. In an instant, the neighing of war horses came one after another, and the dust raised by the galloping army overflowed from behind the army because of their stamping feet, and floated towards Wancheng, which was hundreds of feet away. The originally clear sky above Wancheng was covered by the flying dust, and the endless dust seemed to turn into a rain of dust that covered the entire city.
"What an elite force!"
Nanyang County had already received the news of Tianxuan's arrival. When Tianxuan brought his men to Wancheng, the city gate was wide open under the magnificent city wall that was seven feet high. The Nanyang County Magistrate, who was a military general and dressed in armor, stood at the city gate waiting with the county secretary, county lieutenant and other Nanyang County assistant officials.
Although Tianxuan had asked them to eat a wave of dirt when they first met, the Nanyang County Magistrate, who was wearing full armor and looked like a general who could go into battle and kill the enemy at any time, was not angry at all. His eyes, which were full of brilliance, locked onto the Qin army soldiers who had dismounted from their horses hundreds of feet away, and gave such an evaluation.
"Greetings, Master Li Kai!"
Tianxuan got off his horse, holding Huoyun's reins, and led his exhausted subordinates to the city gate. Although some clever county soldiers came forward to take their reins, they were frightened by the cold eyes of Tianxuan and others. Finally, Tianxuan brought Yanfei, Yueshen, Da Siming, and Shao Siming to the Nanyang County Magistrate, who had a beard on his chin, a sad face, and a resolute expression, and nodded slightly.
[Li Kai? Another person who should have died but survived. In the past few years, Zheng Ge's behavior really doesn't seem like a time traveler from the future. But why did Mo Ya, Li Kai and other people who were supposed to be dead survive? Paper and printing were invented ahead of time? ]
Although Tianxuan already knew the identity of the Nanyang County Magistrate, he still felt strange when he came to Li Kai, the unlucky man who was framed by Liu Yi and had his lover taken away. Although he remained calm, his thoughts were flying around!
"Meet General Tian!"
Tianxuan was the eighth-level military noble, the soon-to-be-appointed governor of Yingchuan County, while Li Kai was the governor of Nanyang County, and their status was equal. Although Nanyang County was a territory that Li Kai had been managing for many years, he knew in his heart that if his brother-in-law, Han Wangan, rebelled, he would be in trouble if he was too high-profile.
Therefore, facing Tianxuan, the dragon crossing the river, Li Kai did not dare to put on airs.
"General Tian, and all the masters of Yin Yang School."
The noble Concubine Yan, the cold Moon Goddess, the charming Grand Siming, and the ethereal Little Siming, the four women standing together, like the most beautiful scenery in the world. The officials of Nanyang County who followed Li Kai knew that they could not afford to offend these four women, but they still had obscene glances that were consciously hidden and swept across their charming bodies from time to time.
Yan Fei and the other four girls have long been accustomed to this and don't take it to heart at all.
However, Li Kai, who had a deep love for his wife and did not even have a concubine, had only a fleeting look of amazement when he glanced at the four women. Then, Li Kai took the initiative to extend his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Tianxuan and others:
"I have prepared a banquet in the city, come with me!" Li Kai said, his eyes fell on the thousands of war horses following the army, "Brothers, don't worry about your mounts. After receiving the news that you were coming, I ordered people to prepare a thousand stones of bean powder, ten thousand eggs, and ten thousand stones of the best grass!"
