Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty looked at the surprised look in Tian Qiong's eyes and said without surprise,
"Originally, I planned to keep you by my side and nurture you, but I didn't expect you to want to go to the border!”
Tian Meng listened with a silent expression.
He stayed in Chang 'an and stayed beside Emperor Jing of Han. Indeed, with Emperor Jing's appreciation and trust in him, he would probably be promoted soon and his official position would be higher.
However!
Tian Meng had to think about his future!
Although it was hard to go to the frontier and not as comfortable as the luxurious life in Chang 'an, he had more power and space to use it in the frontier.
"I've also thought about it for a long time. Yanmen does indeed need a capable person to guard it. In addition, you're still young, so you should indeed experience more!”
"Moreover, it's rare for you to have the heart to guard the border and serve the country. Zhen is also very gratified!”
"In two days, you will go to Yanmen County to take up your post!”
Emperor Jing of Han said slowly to Tian Meng.
Hearing this, Tian Qiong heaved a sigh of relief. Emperor Jing of Han had finally agreed to let him go to the border.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Tian Meng cupped his fists and said.
"This time, Yanmen Prefecture was invaded by the Xiongnu. The soldiers were killed and many people were injured. Countless people were also kidnapped by the Xiongnu.”
Emperor Jing of Han looked at Tian Qiong and pondered for a moment before saying,
"Before this, I had already ordered the national treasury to allocate a large amount of money and food to Yanmen Prefecture to settle the people and appease the casualties!”
"However, I'm afraid we still lack soldiers, so I'll transfer ten thousand soldiers from Ba Shang's camp to you and let you take them to Yanmen!”
Tian Qiong nodded slightly. Even if Emperor Jing of Han did not take the initiative to talk about the military, he would still bring it up.
This time, Yanmen County had suffered a great loss. Without enough soldiers, it would not be easy to defend this important frontier fortress!
"Your Majesty, I hope to transfer all the cavalrymen from the Ba Shang camp to me!”
Tian Meng said to Emperor Jing of Han.
"Hehe, zhen knows that you have taken a fancy to those cavalry!”
Emperor Jing looked at Tian Qiong and continued with a smile,
"I also hope that they can play a greater role in the border areas. You have to use them well!”
"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Tian Qiong was delighted to hear this. Only by having more cavalry at the border could they have the ability to take the initiative to attack.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty nodded slightly. He had witnessed his brother-in-law's ability with his own eyes, so he was not too worried.
"Do you still have something to do?"
Emperor Jing of Han looked at Tian Qiong, who was deep in thought after saying that, and asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me one thing!”
"Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, Yanmen Prefecture is an important prefecture at the border of the Han Dynasty. It is also the northern gate of the Han Dynasty. Nearly half of the Xiongnu's invasions have chosen to break through the border of Yanmen Prefecture. Therefore, the pressure of defense is very great. I hope that Your Majesty can allow me to recruit soldiers at Yanmen to participate in attacking the Xiongnu or to guard the border!”
Tian Meng said to Emperor Jing of Han.
"Recruit soldiers?" Emperor Jing of Han widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
"No, this won't do. The Imperial Court is currently recuperating. Recruiting soldiers will consume a large amount of money and food. Moreover, we haven't started a war with the Xiongnu yet.”
Emperor Jing shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I don't need the national treasury to allocate money and grain. I will settle the matter of money myself!”
"You can solve it yourself? This is not a small sum of money!"
Emperor Jing of Han looked at Tian Qiong in disbelief. Then, he smiled and said,
"If you don't need the Imperial Court to allocate money, then Zhen will allow you to recruit soldiers!”
The Great Han's border defense line was long. The reason why the Xiongnu broke through the Great Wall's defense line and invaded the border counties was because they did not have enough troops to defend them.
If Tian Meng didn't need the imperial treasury to spend money and food to recruit soldiers, how could he not allow it!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tian Qiong was overjoyed. Money was indeed a big problem, but it might not be impossible to solve as long as Emperor Jing of Han was willing to give him power.
Originally, Tian Meng thought that this matter would require a lot of persuasion, but he did not expect Emperor Jing of Han to agree so readily.
Thus, Tian Kong was in a good mood on the way back.
After returning to Chang 'an, Tian Meng began to prepare for his appointment!
Today!
Ten miles away from Chang 'an City.
The place was densely packed with people. Groups of soldiers stood quietly in this place, the long spears in their hands reflecting a cold light under the sunlight.
This was the 10,000-strong army of Ba Shang's camp!
He was also a recruit who had trained for a year!
They were about to go to the frontlines and fight there!
At this moment, all of them were staring at the young general in front of the army. He was wearing a shining armor and riding a tall horse!
They already knew that this was their future general and the new prefect of Yanmen Prefecture!
Wu 'an Marquis Tian!
Looking at him, the eyes of countless soldiers shone with respect!
News of what had happened in Ba Shang's camp two days ago had already spread.
This young general had fought against five Generals alone. His archery skills were extraordinary, and his riding skills were even stronger. He easily defeated five Generals!
Not only that, news of Tian Meng's involvement in the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms had also spread throughout the army!
Most people knew that he was a general who had made great contributions in the war to quell the rebellion. He had even personally beheaded the leader of the rebel army, King Wu, Liu Bi!
It was also because of this battle that he made a great contribution and was given the title of Marquis by the Emperor!
This was a powerful and admirable general!
Tian Kong rode on his warhorse and looked at the army that had been trained for a year!
The eyes of countless soldiers revealed the joy of not training all day long. They also revealed their anticipation for the future. They were even a little excited and eager to give it a try!
"Soldiers!"
Tian Meng's deep voice rang out!
"Today, you will follow me to the border and the frontline!”
"Our enemy is there, the enemy of our Great Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu!!
" In the future, you will have to fight and kill them. You may not be able to sleep at night, you may be in fear all day, you may be hungry, and you may even face death…"
"But, you can also make contributions!!”
"A sergeant can be promoted to a captain! Captain can be promoted to military marquis! A military marquis could be promoted to a lieutenant! Some of you will even become generals!”
"Not only will you become generals, but you will also receive a large reward! Money! Food! Land! Servant!"
"Even you are like me!”
" Meritorious service and the title of Marquis!!"
