They entered the palace.
Liu Dao waited for a while before he was invited into the hall to receive the order.
In the imperial court, he was officially conferred the title of " Divine Might General " and was ordered to lead 5,000 cavalrymen and 15,000 light and heavy infantrymen to the north to support Meng Tian in resisting the invasion of Donghu.
In the main hall, it was Liu Dao's first time meeting the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng of this world, as well as the current Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, Li Si.
Liu Dao was somewhat emotional about the two people whose names had been passed down through the ages but had mixed reputations.
If Ying Zheng wasn't in a hurry, he would have wanted to finish everything at a very fast speed.
Perhaps the Great Han Dynasty wouldn't be the one that had been passed down for hundreds of years, but the Great Qin Empire. If that happened, it would truly be the greatest Emperor in history, comparable to the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors.
If Li Si had not forged the imperial edict to establish Huhai, it would have led to the death of the second emperor of Great Qin.
With his contributions in helping Ying Zheng unify the world and promoting the system of prefectures and counties, he might even gain a historical status comparable to the sages Guan Zhong or even the Duke of Zhou.
In the era when Confucianism was not the only school of thought, Guan Zhong was a famous minister sought after by hundreds of schools of thought. Even Confucius admired his ability. The Duke of Zhou was the saint respected by hundreds of schools of thought.
However, this was only a matter of history.
If the two of them changed their ways of life, they might not even be able to unify Great Qin. In the end, it was fate.
Liu Dao only sighed, but he did not reveal anything on the surface.
After a round of greetings, the process was completed.
Under the witness of the officials with different thoughts.
Liu Dao was officially appointed.
However, it seemed to be as Liu Dao had guessed.
In the end, Ying Zheng said to Liu Dao meaningfully,"
" Minister Liu's bravery is something that I and the Prime Minister have seen with our own eyes. It is unprecedented and we are amazed. However, it is my first time commanding an army. The soldiers are in a place of life and death. If you have any questions, you should ask General Meng Tian.”
Obviously, Ying Zheng had some doubts about Liu Dao's ability to lead troops into battle.
It was just that people in this era were more particular about first impressions, and their cognitive logic was more simple and crude.
He was like a well-known filial son who was a good person in the eyes of others.
A person with bad morals, no matter how capable he was, was useless.
This was reflected in the specific use of the law. As long as a person was proved to be a bad person, all his crimes would be established. The government often judged cases according to this logic.
Everyone felt that it was only natural.
This was because since ancient times, the ultimate goal of the laws and regulations of the Celestial Empire was to guide the people to be good.
According to this thinking, there was no reason for the law to protect a bad person and punish a good person.
Even the Emperor Ying Zheng was no exception to this logic.
Ying Zheng saw that Liu Dao was brave and invincible, so he believed that Liu Dao's army would be invincible because of this logic.
A good person would not break the law.
Bravery was equivalent to being proficient in military affairs.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Dao cupped his hands in response before retreating into the ranks of the officials.
After receiving the appointment, Liu Dao still could not leave immediately.
Since he was attending the court session, he had to wait until the next one before leaving, or else he would be disrespecting Ying Zheng.
Although Liu Dao indeed did not have much respect for Ying Zheng, unless he was willing to rebel right now, he still had to abide by some rules.
In the beginning, Liu Dao was still somewhat interested to see what the so-called court was about.
In the end, not long after, Liu Dao felt bored. Many questions were debated over and over again, making Liu Dao a little sleepy.
Liu Dao felt that his decision not to come to Xianyang was a wise one.
Feeling bored, Liu Dao could only find some fun by himself. He divided most of his attention and started to wander around.
It was Liu Dao's first time attending court, so he was only arranged to sit at the outermost position, which made it convenient for Liu Dao to slack off.
He looked outside the hall and looked around.
Not long after, Liu Dao's eyes narrowed, but he discovered something that he had not noticed earlier.
Outside the main hall, there were twelve bronze statues that were more than ten meters tall. They were glowing with a faint red light.
When Liu Dao came in previously, he was quickly brought to a side room. Moreover, the red light was not as eye-catching as the huge bronze man, so Liu Dao did not notice it for a while.
"This is a secret treasure determined by the system? Bronze men…Could this be the Twelve Men of Gold that Qin Shihuang had forged from all the weapons in the world? Ah, if this was a secret treasure, then he couldn't let it go.”
Liu Dao raised his eyebrows, already secretly thinking about how to get this artifact.
Since he was discovered by Liu Dao, Liu Dao naturally wouldn't let him go.
However, the Twelve Metal Colossi were too conspicuous. Liu Dao definitely had no way of directly collecting them in broad daylight.
Once the Twelve Men of Gold disappeared, it would be noticed by the people around it. However, if Liu Dao wanted to collect the secret treasure, he had to personally touch it. If he took it at this time, he would definitely be discovered.
"It seems that I can only find another opportunity to collect it next time, or secretly come and collect it at night. However, if the Twelve Men of Gold, which was not mentioned in the original plot, was a secret treasure, then what about the others?”
Liu Dao instantly let his imagination run wild.
Moreover, he immediately confirmed a target, which was the extremely famous Heirloom Seal of the Kingdom in the future.
Although the Heirloom Seal was not as famous as it was in the future, it was definitely a treasure that was not inferior to the Twelve Metal Colossi.
Liu Dao's eyes flickered.
……
After the court session, it was already afternoon.
As soon as Liu Dao brought them out of the palace, he immediately brought the Tiger Tally and the imperial edict to the military camp outside Xianyang City.
Following the order, 20,000 elite soldiers were mobilized from the camp guarding Xianyang to the north.
There was a time gap between the invasion of Donghu and the notice to Xianyang.
Liu Dao wanted to go north to provide support, but time was tight. He had to set off immediately.
As the capital city, Xianyang was well prepared for logistics. They had already ordered the civilians to transport all kinds of things to the north.
Liu Dao's troops could mobilize resources along the way, so they didn't have to worry about logistics.
Thus, after gathering the soldiers, they immediately set off. Speed was the most important thing in war.
Liu Dao hastened his march, but he wasn't able to go any faster.
After all, they were bringing 20,000 soldiers. Even if they were elite soldiers, it would not be as convenient as traveling alone.
Fortunately, Great Qin had an extremely complete system.
Liu Dao brought his soldiers and rushed to the border county where Meng Tian's main force was.
