Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

At night, several people quietly walked out of the military camp.

After a while, someone else left quietly.

Heimian stood in the night, looked at the general beside him, and wanted to speak several times, but because of the general's orders, he didn't say anything.

I don’t know how long it took, but it was so long that Heimian shivered with cold.

Ning Teng looked at Heimian, turned around and left, and Heimian followed him consciously.

The two returned to Ning Teng's tent. Heimian finally couldn't help but say, "General, I don't understand why you let those people go? They are deserters."

Ning Teng glanced at Heimian and said nothing.

Here we go again, like this again.

These days, every time I talk about this with the general, he always remains silent.

How could a grown man like me guess what the general was thinking?

Helplessly, Heimian said "I'll take my leave" and left.

"Village chief, why do you see someone in front of you?"

On the bumpy road, a group of ragged people supported each other and moved slowly.

The village chief Gen held a branch in his hand to support himself, with his family around him.

"That is?"

The village chief Gen stopped, his wrinkled face showing fatigue. After walking for so many days, some people on the road could not hold on and died. It was not known whether the Qin State would accept them.

Looking at the group of people in the distance, riding on fine horses, and the flag, "They are not the Han army."

He recognized his own country's flag. "It's black, so it must be the Qin army."

"Qin Jun!"

The villagers were frightened at first and wanted to find a place to hide.

There's no way around it. After so many years of war, this has become their conditioned reflex.

"Don't panic, Father. I'll go take a look."

Sanmu was also afraid, but there was nothing he could do now. It was he who said he wanted to come to Qin, and now that he had come this far, he had to give it a try.

"Well, Miki, be careful."

The village chief looked at his child and knew that he had no choice but to let him go. He patted his son's shoulder worriedly, his eyes slightly red.

"Father, I will be careful."

Sanmu bravely walked towards the direction of Qin Jun. From a distance, Qin Jun naturally saw this soldier.

"Who are you?"

Ma Xing is a captain of a hundred squads. He has been patrolling this area with his men these days. When he saw someone, he asked loudly.

"General, I am a commoner from Han." Sanmu was frightened by Ma Xing's voice and fell to his knees. He didn't dare to look directly at Ma Xing, but only looked at the ground cautiously.

"General, I heard that Qin was willing to accept its people, so I fled here with my entire village."

"Please, General, accept me and the people in my village."

Bang bang bang, Sanmu's forehead hit the ground. Ma Xing turned over and got off the horse, taking a few steps to Sanmu.

"Are you a Korean citizen?" He looked at Sanmu while speaking, holding the sword hanging at his waist in one hand. If there was anything wrong, Ma Xing would immediately chop off Sanmu's head.

"Yes, General, I am a Korean citizen."

Sanmu didn't dare to hide anything and explained his situation clearly: "I am a citizen of Xitou Village, and my father is the village chief. This year, the elders have come to the village many times to collect grain, and our entire village is really unable to survive. I heard the news in town that the King of Qin issued an order, allowing all people in the world to go to Qin. That's why I persuaded my father to bring the villagers to Qin."

"Go, call your village chief and bring the household registration."

Ma Xing grinned and said, "Oh, I've finally waited for this. If I can bring these people back, it will be my credit."

Fortunately, Sanmu lowered his head, so he didn't see Ma Xing's teeth showing when he laughed.

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Miki got up and ran to his father.

When the village chief and the others saw Sanmu running over, they thought something had happened. They were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word, and sobbing could be heard.

"Father."

"Miki, what are you doing?"

"Father, those are the Qin army. The general just told me to go over there. Also, I need to bring my household registration."

Miki grinned. In his opinion, since the general asked his father to bring the household registration with him, it meant that he was ready to accept them.

"Household registration? Great, I've brought it all with me."

Village chief Gen squatted on the ground, opened the bag that Sanmu had been carrying, and found their family's household registration in the innermost part.

"Let's go, Father. The General is waiting."

Sanmu helped his father over, and they both knelt in front of Ma Xing. The village chief handed the household registration in his hand to Ma Xing.

After Ma Xing looked at it carefully, he gave the household registration to the village chief Gen.

"Are the people you brought with you from your village?"

"General, there are also people from other villages. They are all relatives of the villagers. They knew we were going to escape to Qin State, so they followed us here."

"Okay, call them all and follow me."

"Yes Yes."

Hearing that the Qin general was willing to accept them, the village chief Gen was so excited that his body was shaking. He hurriedly supported his son and asked the villagers to come quickly.

Ma Xing and his team returned to the military camp with hundreds of people, and Meng Ao knew about it at the first time.

All the nearby villages have been contacted, and a village chief was called directly to take the people back. After that, the arrangements for these people were handed over to the village chief.

Seeing that the generals did not make things difficult for them and that the village chief was easy to talk to, the villagers of Xitou Village happily followed him back.

However, Xitou Village was just the beginning. In the following days, more people from Han came to Qin, and Meng Ao and his men were extremely happy every day.

If this rate continues, Nanyang will probably become a deserted city.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yao Jia made another appointment with Ning Teng.

"General Ning Teng has thought it through carefully."

It was the same place as last time, but this time Yao Jia brought a pot of good wine.

"Master Yao Jia really has a good plan."

Ning Teng didn't answer and looked at Yao Jia's wine.

"I have to thank General Ning Teng for his cooperation."

If it weren't for Ning Teng's indulgence, he didn't believe that those soldiers could escape successfully, and so many people could come to Qin smoothly.

"polite."

Hearing this, Yao Jia paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, General Ning Teng is straightforward."

"It seems that the wine I brought today can be drunk." As he said this, Yao Jia prepared to open the jar of wine and pour it for Ning Teng.

"Master Yao Jia, please wait a minute. I have another request."

Yao Jia stopped what he was doing and said, "General Ning Teng, please speak."

"If I surrender, the Qin army must not harm the soldiers."

"Hahaha, I dare not promise you that. If those soldiers are determined to rebel against Qin, how can we surrender without a fight?"

Seeing Ning Teng's expression change slightly, Yao Jia continued, "Well, if the Han army soldiers are willing to surrender, I promise that I will never harm them."

"it is good."

"Haha, come here, I prepared this wine specially for you, General. Please try it and see how it tastes."

This time, Ning Teng did not refuse the wine he poured for him, and Yao Jia also filled his own glass.

"After you, we're colleagues. Shit."

"Dry."
