Stepping into the Northern Desert
Along the way, Jiang Bai traveled from Xianyang to Yanmen Pass, the northernmost part of the Great Wall in Jiuyuan Prefecture, where the Great Qin cavalry were stationed.
Yanmen Pass, also known as Xixing Pass, was famous for its "danger". There was a saying that "Yanmen is the leader of the nine fortresses in the world".
Even if Jiang Bai rode a horse, it still took him almost a week.
The northernmost territory of the Qin Dynasty was the Great Wall!
That was why Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty had such a sentence in his "On Passing the Qin Dynasty":"He ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall to the north and repel the Xiongnu for over 700 li!”
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had asked Fu Su to supervise the construction of the Great Wall. Wasn't it to let Fu Su build a good relationship with Meng Tian, who was guarding the Great Wall in the north of the desert?
Only by controlling this army would he have a chance to become Great Qin's future Emperor!
However, Fu Su's mission was to patrol from the easternmost Shanhai Pass area, while Meng Tian was at Yanmen Pass. The two were separated by 1,500 miles, and even if they rode at full speed, it would take five days.
It would take at least half a month for Fu Su to reach Yanmen Pass.
Kick, kick, kick, kick!
Jiang Bai led thousands of soldiers to the northernmost city pass.
The giant city was as deep as an abyss and as vast as a mountain.
Its power was like a rainbow, with a thousand catties of force.
In front of the pass, a chiliarch from Jiang Bai's team walked out.
He shouted at the nearly 100 feet tall city wall,"The Great Qin Imperial Advisor is here by His Majesty's order! I'm here to help General Meng Tian wipe out Mobei!”
"Great Qin Imperial Advisor?" When the soldiers on the city wall heard this, they looked at each other.
How did the Great Qin Empire have an Imperial Advisor? They had been guarding the northern desert all year round and had never heard of the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Advisor.
However, below the city walls, there were over 1,000 black-armored soldiers. It was obvious that they were Great Qin's soldiers.
One of the team leaders carefully sized up the person riding the red-maned horse and pondered for a moment.
He shouted at Jiang Bai below the city wall,"State Preceptor, please wait!" I will go and invite General Meng Tian to personally welcome the Imperial Advisor!”
When Jiang Bai heard this, he thought highly of the Meng Family Army that Meng Tian had taught.
In a situation where there was no confirmed information, knowing such a limit was enough to show that Meng Tian had taught the army well.
however
"General Meng Tian!" Jiang Bai gathered his breath and roared. The liquor had arrived! If you still don't come out, I'll finish this wine!”
When the Captain saw how domineering Jiang Bai was, he dared to call Meng Tian by her name in Yanmen Pass despite her cultivation level!
One should know that the Meng Army was even more loyal to Meng Tian than to Ying Zheng!
As expected, when the soldiers on the city wall saw Jiang Bai's boldness, they immediately shouted,"How can you call the general by his name?”
"Who is calling me!" Not long after, Meng Tian walked up the city wall. She was dressed in a black cloth that made her tall and straight figure look extremely burly.
He had heard a roar from the meeting hall on the city wall and thought that it was a powerful figure.
However, when he looked down, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Mr. Jiang!" he shouted toward the city wall. It really is you! The 800-mile fast horse in Xianyang City said that Mr. Jiang had been conferred the title of national master by His Majesty! I still didn't believe it. I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to really lead a thousand troops here!”
"General Meng, are we going to continue this discussion?”Jiang Bai answered with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Meng Tian reacted instantly and instructed her subordinate,""Open the city gates!"
After saying that, he went down the city tower to prepare to welcome them.
……
The city gates opened, and Jiang Bai led a thousand black-armored soldiers into Yanmen Pass.
Meng Tian stepped forward and cupped her fists."
"Mister Jiang…"
In the next second, he felt that something was wrong and changed his words."State Preceptor Jiang! His Majesty has already told me that you came to Yanmen Pass this time to pacify the Xiongnu's repeated invasion of our mountain and river border!”
"Your Majesty, you should know that our Meng Army is enough to deter the Hu people from acting rashly, so why are you still…Could it be that something has happened in Xianyang City?”
Meng Tian guessed.
After all, Great Qin's most elite army, the Meng family's army, was number one!
Apart from the matter in Xianyang City, Ying Zheng would never be worried about the Meng Army, and would even send someone to Mobei to make a plan!
Jiang Bai got off his horse and walked to Meng Tian with Taia in his hand. He did not answer his question directly, but said in a meaningful tone,""If Mobei is not in chaos, then Xianyang will be in chaos.”
"Hmm?" Meng Tian was surprised. It wasn't that she didn't understand, but she felt that the meaning behind this sentence wasn't just about the relationship between Mobei and Xianyang. It should be referring to Great Qin!
Could it be a problem left behind by the Six Nations?
Meng Tian guessed again.
" Alright, General Meng Tian, I brought you a gift this time. There are ten jars of wine in the carriage…"
"All for me? Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!" Meng Tian said in surprise.
"Dream on. It's ten taels per jar. I'll let you pick any jar. You are the commander of Yanmen Pass. Just a little will do. What if he got drunk and caused trouble?”Jiang Bai immediately poured a basin of cold water on Meng Tian, who was feeling hot in the head.
“.”The smile on Meng Tian's face stopped abruptly.
"Let's go in first. We'll talk later. Let me tell you, these two days, the Xiongnu have allied with some small tribes and vassal kingdoms. They have repeatedly wanted to attack us. We have captured quite a few captives. Last time, when I heard from His Majesty that Sir remembered the plan, I knew that Sir must have extraordinary abilities. Perhaps you can pry some valuable things out of those captives.”
Meng Tian said as she led Jiang Bai.
Along the way, Jiang Bai listened to Meng Tian talk about the recent situation at Yanmen Pass, as well as the deployment of the various armies.
"Mister is tired from traveling these few days, so he will stay in the city. In two days, I will bring Mister to the military camp.”
"Sure." Jiang Bai agreed. He was indeed a little tired after running all the way. As for what the system said about controlling thousands of troops and horses, he had to plan it carefully in the next two days before slowly planning it!
