Chapter 112 Yuezhou Rebellion(3/3)
Suddenly, the door opened and a group of scholars rushed in. Everyone looked excited.
"Brother Bai, have you heard?"
"What did you hear?" Bai Yiwen said calmly.
"The superiors are planning to give up on Yuezhou."
"I heard about it, but I feel like this is unlikely... right?" Bai Yiwen took a deep breath: "Everyone, please be patient. Acting anxiously will only make the situation more chaotic."
"How can we stay calm? There's a commotion outside."
"Yuezhou has a population of more than 12 million and is the largest city on the border. How can we give up just because we want to? Over the years, Yuezhou men have joined the army one after another to protect their families and the country. Could it be that the higher-ups have turned a blind eye to these efforts?
?”
Bai Yiwen persuaded: "It's impossible."
"How is it impossible? Even if there are tens of millions of people, they are nothing compared to the billions of living beings in the Qin Dynasty. As for the sacrifices of the people of Yuezhou... Haha, it is just a passing cloud, but who can appreciate it?"
"I still think it's impossible. Even if we don't take into account the millions of lives in Yuezhou, we can't give up Yuezhou just because of its geographical location!"
Bai Yiwen took out a map, pointed at the long and narrow shape of Yuezhou on it, and said slowly:
"You see, Yuezhou is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. The terrain is long and narrow, directly inserted into the hinterland of Yan and Qi. Seven hundred miles to the north is the natural barrier of the twin mountains of the Qin Dynasty - which has always been known as the 'first pass of the Qin Dynasty'.
Zhanguan; to the east, only a hundred miles beyond the mountains, is the Qianmo Plain, known as the "Granary of Dayan"; to the west, you can see the fertile mountains of Daqi that are rich in coal and iron...
Yuezhou has always been a battleground for military strategists. How could the higher-ups give up on Yuezhou so easily?
Furthermore, although Baizhan Pass is guarding it inside, Yuezhou City is still isolated outside, but it also protects the seven hundred-mile radius territory of Great Qin in front of Baizhan Pass. In such a vast land, there are many
Common people, the higher-ups will never give up easily!"
After hearing what he said, the students present became even more excited.
"Brother Bai, you are too naive!! Too much wishful thinking!"
"Brother Bai, although what you said makes sense, but extending along the borders of the Qin State, only our Yuezhou City is isolated due to its geographical location. This is true for the Qin State, and it is also true for the other two countries. It should be said
It is a battleground for the military strategists of the Three Kingdoms, but our isolated land island is so embarrassing!"
"Humph, Yuezhou is said to be the seven hundred-mile territory of the Qin State, but in fact there is no fertile land, and no aristocratic family resides there. Even many wealthy merchants who were born in Yuezhou have stayed away from us long ago because of the ban from above.
Yuezhou, this land far away from the emperor, just abandon it. How can those fat-headed nobles understand the suffering of the people!!"
"That's right! The Baizhan Pass is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is like a door. As long as it is defended, Great Qinnan will be able to sit back and relax! And what about our Yuezhou? There are no dangers to defend, which is the real truth.
The land of hundreds of battles! It is the real first level of protecting the country of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Yes, yes, yes! With Yuezhou at the front, why is Baizhan Pass called the first pass in the Qin Dynasty? Why?"
"...Does this mean...that the imperial court has never paid much attention to Yuezhou? Then, Yuezhou will not really be abandoned this time, right?!"
"The court is really full of heartless bastards!"
For a time, everyone's emotions became more and more out of control, and the crowd was furious.
Bai Yiwen's eyes flashed, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet!"
Everyone was silenced by his words and turned their heads to follow the sound.
"Everyone, as far as I know, the title of Baizhan Pass, the first pass in the Qin Dynasty, was awarded by the people of the Yan State. Although the people of the Qin Dynasty are proud of it, fundamentally speaking, it was never our Da Qin who took the initiative to call it this
Yes, just based on this, it is too far-fetched to say that the Qin court has given up on us, and it is really too strong to make sense?" Bai Yiwen said loudly.
What he said is absolutely correct, because the name of the first level of Da Qin was given by Bai Yiwen a few years ago.
And this approach of supporting the enemy, which seems to improve the morale of the enemy's soldiers and civilians, is just for today.
Several years of planning, one day of success!
"What's the difference? Did Yan feel angry because he was unable to conquer it? I don't know that. I only know that Da Qin did not refute it, and the soldiers at Baizhan Pass are all proud of it."
"That's right! This statement has long been popular in Da Qin and is considered a good story!"
Bai Yiwen looked anxious: "Anyway, I don't believe that Da Qin, which I am loyal to, will give up on us! My roots, my people, my home, and my relatives are all in Da Qin, the land of Yuezhou! I never believe that Da Qin will give up on us!"
Give up on us! This is unreasonable!”
"We don't want to believe it either! But it's the truth, what can we do?!"
"Everyone, maybe we can contribute a little bit of our strength and try to convince the court not to give up on Yuezhou!"
"What method? How to persuade?"
