Although Li Che had offered the war horses, saddles, stirrels, and other items to Qin Shihuang during the war against the Xiongnu, it was the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, such as Meng Tian, Wang Ben, and the other generals, who were going to fight on the battlefield.
As a civil official, Li Che only needed to strategize.
In the main hall of the Supreme Court, Meng Tian was sitting on the guest seat and listening attentively. He came here for a plan. If he sent troops to Xiongnu in the next spring, he would definitely be on Meng Tian's shoulders.
"Great General, did you choose soldiers who are good at riding?”
"I've already found sixty thousand cavalrymen and are training them. As for the other forty thousand, His Majesty will allocate them to me.”
After hearing Meng Tian's words, Li Che asked,""Have you chosen a general yet?”
"I am currently selecting generals from the army. Lord Li, do you have any generals who are good at fighting?”
Li Che smiled." I do have a few candidates in my hands. When they arrive in a few days, I'll screen them and recommend them to the general."”
"Alright, if you can get the recommendation of Li Tingwei, you must have unique talents.”
……
In the Supreme Court, Meng Tian said anxiously,""Lord Li, if we can find soldiers and soldiers, the Great Qin Empire will be able to gather 400,000 Cavalry, let alone 100,000 Cavalry. What makes me feel troubled is how to attack the Xiongnu! The Xiongnu lived deep in the desert, chasing grass and living like a fox.”
Li Che stood up and said," General, don't be anxious. Since I've come up with this plan for His Majesty, I won't harm the soldiers of Great Qin!"”
"General Meng, come and take a look. What is this?”
Li Che walked to a wooden box and opened it. He brought out an item that looked like a chessboard with a spoon on it.
Meng Tian stood up and stared at the magical object in front of her.
"This thing is interesting. What is this?”
Li Che's hand turned on the handle of the spoon, and the spoon spun. After a while, the spoon stopped spinning, and the handle pointed north.
Meng Tian turned the handle of the spoon, which was also pointing towards the north.
" This item is called Sinan. I got it from the Kingdom of Qi. Legend has it that it was made by Jiang Ziya. No matter where you are, as long as you have this item, you won't lose your way…"
"Good treasure!"
"General Meng, there are many tribes in the Xiongnu territory. With a hundred thousand men, who can stop them? The Xiongnu were cruel, so why didn't the Great Qin return the favor?”
Meng Tian's eyes were fixed on Si Nan. She had already calmed down. The desert was vast and boundless. What Meng Tian was worried about was losing her way. Now that Li Che had taken out something like Si Nan, it really solved her pressing problem.
Li Che had gone to Qi and Chu to announce the laws of Qin. He had lived in the Qi and Chu palaces. He wondered what other treasures he had obtained in those two palaces.
"With the help of this item, do you have any difficulties, General?”
"With this item, Great Qin's soldiers will not lose their way. The battle is set! Meng Tian thanked Lord Li for his kindness on behalf of the soldiers of Great Qin!”Meng Tian said earnestly and bowed.
"General Meng, why do you say that? In order to defeat the Xiongnu, we must work together! Great General, come to my residence and have a few drinks. Let me welcome General Meng.”
"Then I won't decline. I'll go to Lord Li's residence and disturb him…"
Holding Meng Tian's arm, Li Che and Meng Tian went to Li Che's mansion. Xiao He was left in the Supreme Court to deal with public affairs.
In Li Che's residence, after the banquet was set up, Li Che and Meng Tian drank and talked about attacking the Xiongnu.
While Li Che and Meng Tian were drinking, Meng Tian saw the Tai'e Sword hanging high above the pavilion. Her face revealed an expectant expression."Back then, King Chu used the Taia Sword to dominate the world, but in the end, he was defeated by Great Qin. The Taia Sword was obtained by His Majesty, and now, such a divine sword has fallen into Lord Li's hands. His Majesty really loves Lord Li!”
Li Che saw that Meng Tian was staring at the Taia Sword. He stood up and walked to the pavilion. He took the Taia Sword and placed it in front of Meng Tian.
Meng Tian was exceptionally excited. The ancient sheath of the Taia Sword was already covered in wax. This sword had been worn by the rulers of the Chu Country for generations, and the gorgeous patterns on the sheath had long faded.
"Can I take it out and admire it?”
Meng Tian raised her head and looked at Li Che, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Please!"
As Li Che finished speaking, Meng Tian drew her sword!
A purple light illuminated the house.
Meng Tian looked at the Taia sword in front of her and felt the sword aura of the Taia sword.
Meng Tian held the Taia Sword and exclaimed,""It's no wonder it's one of the top ten famous swords in the world. It's no wonder it's called Tai Ah!”
Meng Tian loved the Taia sword.
However, Meng Tian was also very grateful to Li Che. Li Che had allowed her to draw her sword because he trusted her very much. Now, there were only Meng Tian and Li Che in the palace. The two of them were very close. Li Che had allowed Meng Tian to draw her sword because he had entrusted his life to her.
"If General Meng likes it, then take this sword to kill the Xiongnu and earn merit.”
Li Che said casually, as if the Taia sword was just an ordinary item that he had casually given away.
Meng Tian immediately sheathed the Taia Sword and waved her hand.""I can't, I can't. This is the reward His Majesty gave to Lord Li, how can I take away his beauty?”
Meng Tian was very grateful to Li Che. He had given away such a valuable treasure just like that. It was obvious how broad-minded Li Che was.
However, Meng Tian did not dare to accept it.
The Taia Sword was not only a famous sword, but it was also an emperor's sword. It represented the supreme imperial power. Qin Shihuang had given the Taia Sword to Li Che because he hoped that Li Che would use this sword to announce the laws of Qin and intimidate the officials.
How could he bring this sword to the battlefield?
If the Taia sword was damaged, then Meng Tian would die for it!
Meng Tian did not dare to accept such a valuable item. Now that she could take a look at it, she was satisfied.
Seeing that Meng Tian did not accept it, Li Che did not try to persuade her. After he lifted the Taia sword, he hung it on top of the pavilion. Most of the time, the Taia sword was not used to kill enemies, but to represent power and dignity.
……
After Li Che and Meng Tian drank the entire night, Meng Tian left the next morning, satisfied.
That night, Meng Tian benefited a lot. Li Che told her all the tactics of attacking the Xiongnu, which was how Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu. However, Huo Qubing only had 20,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu, while Qin Shihuang had gathered 100,000 elite cavalry.
Moreover, the Great Qin Cavalry had an absolute advantage over the Xiongnu Cavalry.
Great Qin's Cavalrymen had saddles, stirrels, reins, and other items, allowing the soldiers to free their hands while riding.
The Xiongnu people maintained their primitive way of riding on bare horses, holding the horse's mane with both hands...
This battle!
Because of Li Che's help.
The Great Qin Empire already had the advantage!
Meng Tian looked at Li Che with her drunken eyes,""Lord Li, Meng Tian's respect for you is like a surging river!”
……
After Li Che and Meng Tian drank, Li Che rested for two whole days.
On the third day, Li Che woke up in broad daylight and was eating meat patties fried by Lu Zhi.
Xiao He appeared outside the mansion and asked the servant,""Go and inform Milord that Han Xin, Ying Bu, and Peng Yue are waiting outside the door.”
