In the tent of the border city, Ying Zheng looked at the letter sent by the wolf tribe in his hand and burst out laughing,"
"Are these werewolves brainless? You dare to play a conspiracy in front of me with such a small trick?”
As he spoke, Ying Zheng handed the letter to Meng Tian and Meng Yi to read.
In the letter, the Wolf King was trying to persuade Ying Zheng with emotion and reason, expressing that he had no intention of becoming enemies with the Great Qin Empire. Although they had gathered outside the border city, their purpose was only for food and clothes.
The Wolf King even swore to their Totem Wolf that as long as Ying Zheng was willing to give them the necessities for winter, they would immediately withdraw their troops and not invade the Great Qin border again. Although the requirements for food and clothing listed in the letter were a little exaggerated, they were still acceptable.
This would be interesting. If they could make the 200,000 wolves retreat and maintain peace at the border by paying a small price, any ruler would be willing.
Unfortunately, the content of this letter was not the intention of the Wolf King, who led two hundred thousand soldiers of the wolf tribe. And Ying Zheng was not an ordinary king. Even if the Wolf King really thought so, Ying Zheng would not let him go.
"Your Majesty, this is the Werewolf race's plan. Once Your Majesty agrees to their conditions and agrees to make peace, it will prove that Your Majesty is guilty and doesn't dare to start a war with the Werewolf race. The Werewolf race will also understand that there are only tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the border cities.”
As a Great General, Meng Tian's military talent could not be underestimated. She had understood the wolf tribe's plan after reading the contents of the letter.
Ying Zheng did not say a word. His index finger tapped the table lightly in a very regular pattern, while he looked down with a deep gaze.
"This subject has a plan to catch a turtle in a jar!!”
After Meng Tian's analysis, Meng Yi also cupped his fists and offered a plan,"
"Since the wolf tribe wants to test the king's strength, why don't we beat them at their own game and pretend to agree to the wolf tribe's conditions? We'll also choose the trading location at the border city's gate and order the soldiers to pretend to be the border city's citizens and ambush them in the city.”
"When the Wolf King sees that the city gates are wide open and that there are no soldiers guarding it, he will immediately give the order to attack. Once the Wolf soldiers, who are skilled in riding and archery, charge into the alleys of the border city, their innate advantage will be broken without even attacking.”
"Moreover, we can bury fire oil and sulfur everywhere in the city. When the city gates close, the hundreds of thousands of trapped Wolf soldiers will be burned to ashes. With the King's reinforcements, Great Qin's elite soldiers will suddenly arrive, and the Wolf soldiers will be completely defeated!!”
Meng Yi's expression was filled with excitement as he spoke. It was as if he could already see the glorious moment where he would be able to make contributions to Great Qin, and he could see the moment when he would be able to heavily injure the Werewolves and bring peace to Great Qin's borders.
Meng Tian's eyes lit up when she heard Meng Yi's plan. Of course, she understood the viciousness of Meng Yi's plan.
Even though they would have to sacrifice a Border City, compared to the 200,000 Wolf soldiers that would die in the sea of fire and ensuring the stability of Great Qin's border for decades, what was a Border City?
To Meng Yi and Meng Tian, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once Great Qin could stabilize its borders and eliminate the threat of the Werewolves, Great Qin would be able to deal with the other countries and unify the world.
This was a moment that would determine history and leave a mark in history. How could Meng Tian and Meng Yi not be excited?
Unfortunately, Ying Zheng, who was sitting in a high position, still shook his head and said,"
"Even though Meng Yi's plan was quick, it only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. Perhaps sacrificing a border city can bring back 20 years of peace for Great Qin, but what about 20 years later? What about 200 years later? The wolf race will still come back and invade the nine prefectures of China again. They will also disturb the peace of our people!!”
"As such, if we want to fight, we have to wipe out the Wolf Tribe and completely eliminate this threat. This is also why I personally went out. Moreover, Meng Yi's plan requires Great Qin's elites from other tribes to reap the benefits of the war, but I didn't send any soldiers to the border cities aside from a few hundred personal guards.”
" What?!"
Ying Zheng's words immediately made Meng Tian and Meng Yi cry out in surprise. The wine cups in their hands also fell to the ground with a clatter, causing countless wine droplets to splash out.
The extreme shock in his heart far exceeded the sin of being impolite in front of His Majesty. Meng Yi turned to Ying Zheng with a pale face and said,"
"His Majesty didn't mobilize a single soldier to reinforce the border city. How are we going to defend against those 200,000 wolf soldiers? How can we ensure the peace of our border cities and the peace of the people of Great Qin? Tell me, Your Majesty!!”
Meng Yi, who had bloodshot eyes, shouted the last sentence. However, as soon as he said it, Meng Tian held his sword against his neck.
Meng Tian kicked Meng Yi until he knelt on the ground and scolded him sternly,"
"How dare you, Meng Yi! How dare you offend the king! Do you want to be exterminated?!”
As a commander, as a Great General, Meng Tian knew better than anyone else the importance of being calm and collected. Although he was also shocked that Ying Zheng did not mobilize a single soldier to reinforce the border city, he did not dare to show any disrespect to Ying Zheng, because if he was careless, what awaited him would be the tragic end of his entire family.
However, Meng Tian had never expected that his brother Meng Yi would lose his mind and go against the King because of this matter. This made him anxious and anxious as he tried to remedy the situation.
At the same time that Meng Yi knelt down, Meng Tian also hurriedly knelt down and pleaded,"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It's all Meng Tian's fault for not being able to discipline Meng Yi properly, causing Meng Yi to offend Your Majesty. Meng Tian is willing to bear all the blame.!”
"Since you dared to offend the king, Meng Yi naturally deserves to die. However, the men of the Great Qin Empire are indomitable, and one person should take responsibility for his actions. Meng Yi requests the king to punish him, but before he dies, I still beg the king to quickly dispatch troops to save the people of the border cities of the Great Qin Empire. Otherwise, Meng Yi will die in peace!!”
Meng Yi did not regret it either. He looked at Ying Zheng, who was sitting in a high position, with a look of unafraid of death, but he was still praying for the last chance of survival for the people, begging Ying Zheng to send out his army to save the people of the border towns.
"Killing a general before the battle between the two armies is a taboo of the military. Meng Yi, you can slowly settle your sins after the wolf tribe is defeated.”
Ying Zheng, who was in a high position, was always so calm:
"If you can atone for your crimes, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence. However, remember this. Even if you can avoid the death penalty, you can't escape the punishment.”
"Sinful subject Meng Yi (Meng Tian) thanks the king for his kindness!!”
The hearts that had risen to their necks fell back down. Meng Tian and Meng Yi felt relieved and hurriedly thanked him.
Then, Meng Tian looked at Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high seat, with a puzzled look on her face,"
"May I ask, Your Majesty, since we don't have a single soldier to mobilize as reinforcements, how are we going to defeat the 200,000 soldiers of the Wolf Tribe? Using tens of thousands of our soldiers to fight against the two hundred thousand elite soldiers of the wolf tribe is like hitting an egg against a rock. Even if we have strategies to support us, in the face of absolute power, all strategies are useless!!”
Obviously, not only the people of the world, but even Great General Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who were standing beside Ying Zheng, did not believe that Ying Zheng would win this war. That was why they asked this question.
"It's easy to defeat a mere wolf clan!”
Ying Zheng smiled confidently and said,"
"The hundreds of elites under me are enough!!”
