Northern frontier fortress.
Liu Dao arrived with 20,000 elite soldiers. After taking out the token and handing it over to the city gate guards, Liu Dao directly led his troops into the city and headed to the military camp in the city.
The atmosphere in the city was solemn but not nervous. Everything was in order.
Not long after, Liu Dao and his group arrived outside the military camp in the city.
"Stop! Who are you?"
The guard outside the camp pressed his sword against his hand and asked sternly.
Liu Dao replied indifferently,"
"Divine Might General Liu Dao has been ordered to lead 20,000 troops to reinforce us.”
Hearing Liu Dao's reply, the guard's gaze was a little strange, with a faint hint of disdain.
However, Liu Dao did not know that before he arrived.
Xianyang had already sent people to deliver the news. The Meng Army had heard about Liu Dao, the newly conferred Divine Might General.
It was just that when he learned that Liu Dao was a civil official and had no experience in leading an army to war, he was shocked.
The group of proud soldiers and valiant generals laughed at Liu Dao's attitude.
In their hearts, Liu Dao was probably a backdoor.
The so-called young master who wanted to run over and lead troops to fight.
"Look at him, looking like a weak young master. The officials in the court must be crazy.”
After the guard saw Liu Dao's appearance, he felt even more disdainful.
The main reason was that although Liu Dao was quite tall, at a height of 1.9 meters, his face was delicate and his skin was tender.
He was wearing a long robe and no armor. Instead, he looked like a refined scholar.
In the military camp, it was useless to be handsome. The big-headed soldier could not appreciate it.
In their hearts, only those who were strong and muscular were true men, the symbol of strength.
However, he was still a general officially appointed by the emperor.
Although the guard felt disdain in his heart, he did not dare to show it. He only asked indifferently,
"Do you have a token?"
Liu Dao nodded and directly took out the tiger talisman and bamboo slip and handed them to the other party.
"That's right. Go in. General Meng is waiting for you inside.”
After the guard checked that there were no mistakes, he let them go.
Liu Dao led a group of soldiers into the camp. Not long after, a group of people dressed like generals came out to welcome them. The leader, Liu Dao, recognized Meng Tian at a glance.
Meng Tian's face was calm, and one could not see any changes in her heart.
However, the other generals had all sorts of strange expressions as they winked.
Without exception, their expressions were filled with obvious mockery.
It was obvious that these people did not come out to welcome their 'friendly'. They might even come out to cause trouble.
"Sigh, it's so troublesome."
Liu Dao sighed in his heart.
Liu Dao had never wanted to serve Great Qin, and he had been given such a mission for no reason.
It seemed that it had attracted the hostility and sarcasm of many people, which indeed made Liu Dao a little unhappy.
At this moment, Liu Dao was already preparing how to establish his might. He had to intimidate these people in one go. Otherwise, who knew how much more anger he would have to suffer in the future.
However, establishing his prestige was something that would happen later. He still had to go through the process.
"Where is Meng Tian? Come forward and receive the decree."
Liu Dao got off his horse and shouted.
"I, Meng Tian, am here to welcome Your Majesty's decree.”
Meng Tian cupped her hands and bowed her head, giving a military salute.
The other generals who had followed Meng Tian here did the same.
At this time, there was no rule that future generations had to kneel when receiving an edict, and the army did not pay attention to it.
Liu Dao immediately took out the imperial edict and read it out,"
"The First Emperor issued an edict:
I heard that Donghu had invaded, so I ordered General Shenwei to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to help resist the enemy.
I'm honored."
(Alright, I admit that the format of the imperial edict of the Qin Dynasty really can't be found. Everyone, just make do with it.）
"Meng Tian, accept the order."
Only then did Meng Tian raise her head to receive the decree.
After the process was completed.
Meng Tian's expression could not be seen. She said to Liu Dao in a neutral tone,"
"General Liu, you must be tired from the march. Do you need me to arrange for you to rest?”
"I don't need to trouble General Meng, but these soldiers do need to be arranged to rest.”
Liu Daoxiao replied with a smile.
"Alright. Men, bring these people to the tent.”
Meng Tian nodded and ordered.
At this moment, a general at the side laughed and said,
"General Liu, don't let down our General Meng Tian's good intentions. You look weak, but if you faint from exhaustion, it won't be good.”
Although this person was smiling, it wasn't enthusiasm. On the contrary, it was sarcasm and provocation.
"Li Qiang, don't be rude."
Meng Tian glared at him and said.
After that, there was nothing else.
There was no intention of punishing the other party. This sentence was just an act to make everyone's faces barely acceptable.
Obviously, Meng Tian's attitude was self-evident.
Liu Dao gave Meng Tian a meaningful look, but he smiled and did not mind.
The atmosphere in the military was like this now. They valued true ability the most and only looked at true ability.
No matter how high one's status was, no one would be convinced if one was not capable. If one was ostracized and bullied by their colleagues, they would have to suffer. It was all because they were not capable.
Liu Dao looked at the general named Li Qiang and said indifferently,"
"Indeed, there's no need to trouble yourself. I admit that I might be ordinary in leading troops to war, but my own strength is unparalleled in the world.”
The other party was arrogant and provocative, so Liu Dao was naturally even more arrogant.
"Hah ~"
Li Qiang laughed strangely, obviously not believing it.
The other generals were also in an uproar. Even Meng Tian looked at Liu Dao strangely.
Just now, in front of a group of proud soldiers and valiant generals, claiming that their strength was unparalleled in the world, just this courage alone was enough to make people click their tongues.
The army had always been full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If he wasn't capable enough, he might be beaten to death.
"I just don't know if he really has the ability or if he's ignorant. From his performance, he doesn't look like a fool.”
Meng Tian was secretly looking forward to what would happen next.
"Since General Liu said so, then I really want to see it.”
Li Qiang said lightly.
Liu Dao smiled casually and looked at Meng Tian."
"What's so difficult about that? We'll know after a match. General Meng, what do you think?”
"General Liu, are you serious?"
Meng Tian asked.
"Naturally."
"Alright, Li Qiang, Zhao Yong, Huang Hai…all of you, step forward.”
Meng Tian called out ten names in one breath.
"Yes, General."
"General Liu, these ten people are the top ten generals under my command. Some of them are even stronger than me. General Liu can choose any one of them to compete.”
Meng Tian pointed at the ten of them arrogantly.
He was even more arrogant than Liu Dao.
Liu Dao said calmly,"
"Top ten huh, it's boring to choose just one. Why don't you all go together? It'll also relieve my boredom.”
