Chapter 317 Seeking

In the south of Chen County, after the Chu army left, the black dragon flag of Qin was raised at the city walls overnight.

The figures left behind were worried and were waiting for the Qin army's post-war policy. As long as they felt something was wrong, these people would not mind leaving their hometowns and surrendering to the State of Chu.

With so many county towns, Meng Tian could not dispose of his troops to garrison them all, so he could only choose a dangerous place and focus on garrisoning.

"Before the Chu army invaded, if there were still alive officials, all officials would be restored to their posts."

Meng Tian had no intention of revenge on Chen County and issued strict orders to the generals who went to recover the counties in various places.

Si Chu, a native of Chen County, once attacked Qin officials on a large scale. After such a movement, a group of people could survive, either reacted very quickly and escape smoothly.

Either the officials are honest, fair and upright, and the local Qianshou will not be executed even if such officials are arrested.

"The Qianshou, who once sponsored the Chu army, must not settle accounts afterwards. Only those who organize troops and assist the Chu army in fighting can be regarded as rebellious."

After Meng Tian's order spread, the entire Chen County was obviously relieved.

Most of the people of Chen County just secretly provided food in the Chu army and transported at most some food supplies.

As for pulling up people to fight against Qin, only wealthy families have such strength.

"Fortunately, Brother Zeng is cautious and did not lead his tribe members into an army to assist in the war."

Outside Chen Ying City, looking at the broken city wall, Sui Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude.

Zeng Min was timid and never dared to blatantly rebel against Qin. Now that I think it is not a bad thing to be timid.

"If the food is gone, you can accumulate it again. If a person dies, he will really die."

Zeng Min's clan, in accordance with the Qin law, divided into hundreds of small families over the past decades. Compared with the rule of the Chu State, the number of Zeng clan members increased.

Before it was absolutely necessary or when the dawn of victory had not appeared, Zeng Min was unwilling to suppress the future of the Zeng clan.

"I hope Meng Tian can accept our surrender this time and find a bright future for his tribe members."

After hearing Zeng Min's words, Sui Yue nodded and said, "This is the general trend, I have to take the initiative to integrate into Qin State and can't resist blindly."

······

In Chen Ying City, military control was temporarily implemented, and Meng Tian's attack on the Chu General's Mansion assumed the original duty of the county magistrate of Chen County.

"The Chu army plundered a lot of food in Chen County. The Qianshou is short of food now. The grain transported from Wei land will be evenly distributed to help the refugees in Chen County."

Meng Tian received the report on food shortage in Chen County issued by Jing Su and found that the civilians in Chen County had only a few liters of food left at home. If they did not provide relief, they were afraid that the people in Chen County would have another setback.

The Chu army only stole the destruction, but Meng Tian had to take charge of constructive work.

"The cultivation of winter wheat cannot be delayed especially. Survive through this winter and wait until the harvest comes next year, life will be much better."

The winter in the south is not as icy and snowy as in the north, but the use of troops in winter still has many inconveniences.

After expelling the Chu army, Meng Tian planned to stabilize the rear of Chen County first and then launch an attack on the Chu country.

At present, the Qin army's energy is mainly responsible for stabilizing Chen County and harassing the rear of the Chu army.

"A general will not lead the troops and serve as the garrison of a county, and will surely be able to safeguard the people."

During the battle between Chen Ying, Huang Ji was completely integrated into Meng Tian's command. In the past few days, Huang Ji stayed by Meng Tian's side and witnessed Meng Tian's governance of civil affairs with his own eyes, and he felt a lot of emotion.

"With the talent of a general, how can he only serve as the magistrate of a county? I think only the position of Inner Historian." Meng Bao was unhappy.

The inner history of Qin State was equivalent to the later governor of Zhili, who managed the important places around the capital, and had a high position and a high position and a high power.

All those who serve as the inner historian belong to the core circle of the Qin King and are higher than the county magistrates of all counties in the world.

Huang Ji compared Meng Tian with the county magistrate, but Meng Bao felt that some of the big shots were useless.

"What's wrong with the magistrate of a county? Only by governing a county well can one manage Neisha County well."

Meng Tian smiled and said that he had no objection to Huang Ji's statement.

In the important areas of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, those who serve as internal historians not only have administrative abilities, but also have to deal with various important royal officials.

If possible, Meng Tian doesn't want to fall deeply into it. Taking office as an internal historian will inevitably deeply intervene in the struggles in the court.

"General, two people from Chen County came from outside the camp and wanted to ask for a meeting with the general."

As the military controversy was coming to an end, Meng Tian received news from his personal soldiers.

Outside the Qin army camp, Zeng Min, Sui Yue, and several ministers, stood respectfully on the side, quietly looking at the Qin army camp, with a little uneasy.

They didn't know if Meng Tian would meet them.

"The general ordered you to enter the camp to meet."

The soldiers guarding the camp came forward, searched the two of them carefully, and confirmed that they did not carry weapons before they let them in.

After the news of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin spread, the Qin people were born with distrust for these unknown visitors who wanted to meet.

"It's just that you two want to see me?"

Zeng Min, in Sui Yue's forties, was wearing ordinary Qin clothes, tied his hair into a bunch, and putting on wooden sticks in the middle.

Judging from their hairstyle, the two have the title of a commoner.

"Kung Shimin—

Gongshu Yue—

Meet General Meng!”

The two of them knelt down ten steps away from Meng Tian, ​​crawled on the ground, and bowed respectfully.

Meng Tian narrowed her eyes. Such a big bowing ceremony represented extreme compliance and surrender.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, after a great country destroyed the princes, the princes who lost their country would kneel down to the victors to express their surrender.

"I can't afford to take such a great gift."

Meng Tian had already received a report from Dark Eagle when the two supported the Chu army's intelligence. Meng Tian would not rashly trust such enemies.

"We are here to come to Chen County on this trip to apologize to General Meng."

Zeng Min seemed to have made up his mind and answered honestly.

"Oh, why are you guilty?"

Meng Tian sat down in the main seat, pretending to know nothing.

"General Meng, Xiang Yan led his army to pass by Zeng County. In order to protect himself, we provided some food. However, we remembered the title of magistrate and did not dare to bear the Qin Dynasty. We strictly controlled the villagers and prohibited our participation in the Chu army. However, after this battle, we always had stains on our bodies. We hope General Meng would be tolerant."

Su Yue thought about his words and answered in a low voice.

Qin State allowed the crime of titles to be punished. As long as Meng Tian could avoid their crime of collusion with the enemy, they could accept it even if they lost the title.

Sui Yue could see clearly that the Qin people did not intend to pursue Chen County's enemies at present, but no one could decide what would happen in the future.

He needs to come to Chen Ying in person to completely eliminate his worries.

"According to what you said, you not only have no mistakes, but also have achievements?"

Sui Yue has read books and speaks in a twists and turns, which has revealed many truths.

"It is our duty not to betray Qin. It is our fault to provide food to the Chu army. If you don't do anything within your duty, you will be a fault." Sui Yue raised his head, looked at Meng Tian, ​​who was sitting on the Lord, and said loudly: "As long as General Meng saves us from the sins of his waiter, we are willing to persuade the tribe members and help the general attack Chu!"

After Sui Yue finished speaking, the hall was silent and the needle could be heard.

Meng Tian gently tapped the table, pondering without saying a word, constantly thinking in her heart.

The customs of Chen County are similar to those of Chu State. Chen County people spoke with Chu Yin, and a large number of Chen County people joined the army. In cooperation with the plan to destroy Chu, it seemed that they could bring up a different Chu army...
