They passed through the bustling Chang 'an Avenue.
The few soldiers who had made many contributions left first, waiting for Emperor Jing of Han to summon them, while Tian Qiong entered the palace alone.
Walking in the palace, many eunuchs and serving girls secretly looked at Tian He, curiously sizing up this recently famous general.
Tian Meng ignored him and went straight into the greenhouse palace after he found out that Emperor Jing of Han was behind it.
The walls of the greenhouse hall were painted with pepper and mud. The walls were decorated with brocade and a fire-cloud screen. The floor was covered with precious fur carpets. There were also many heating and warming devices around the walls.
At this moment, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was leaning against a table made of precious fur. He was holding a scroll and reading it tiredly.
At this moment!
Ta…
Chun Tuo slowly walked in and reported respectfully to Emperor Jing of Han,
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu An has returned from the border and has just arrived outside the palace!”
"Oh? Tian Meng is back?"
When Emperor Jing of the Two Han Dynasties heard Chun Tuo's report, his tired expression suddenly became energetic. He sat up straight and said to Chun Tuo,
"Quick, let him in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chun Tuo turned around and left the hall. He came outside and said respectfully to Tian Meng,
"Marquis Wu An, His Majesty invites you!"
Tian Meng nodded slightly and walked into the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he could clearly feel that it was much hotter. Soon, he saw Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty sitting on a table with an aged and sickly expression.
It could be seen that Emperor Jing of Han looked worse than when he left Chang 'an.
Tian Mo was secretly sad. He didn't know if it was because of Emperor Jing's illness or because he was too crazy with women.
In order to win over Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the eldest princess, Princess Guantao, had found countless women for him!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Tian Meng didn't think too much and said to Emperor Jing of Han.
When Tian Ran entered, Emperor Jing of Han stared at him. He looked at Tian Ran, who was travel-worn and had a rough expression. He sighed and said,
"The days at the border must not be good!”
"As the prefect, this official is still considered good. The lives of the people at the border who were plundered by the Xiongnu are really difficult. When this official first arrived at the border, I didn't know how many people fled the border with only a few tattered clothes!”
Tian Meng said to Emperor Jing of Han.
Emperor Jing of Han looked a little calm when he heard this. He did not say anything, but waved at Chun Tuo at the door and said,
"Chun Tuo, you go down first. Tell the people around to leave!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Chun Tuo heard this, he quickly left the hall and closed the door.
Tian Meng's eyes flashed when he saw Emperor Jing's action.
"I also know that the border people will definitely suffer when they are killed and robbed by the Xiongnu. I just didn't expect it to be this serious!”
Emperor Jing of Han sighed. As the emperor, the people under his rule were living such a miserable life. He did not feel good.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. The resources dispatched by the Imperial Court have already arrived at the border counties. In addition, we have also obtained a lot of spoils of war from this victory. I believe that the lives of the people will return to normal as soon as possible!”
Tian Meng said as he looked at Emperor Jing of Han.
Emperor Jing of Han nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said,
"Alright, let's not talk about this!"
"This time, you have made a lot of contributions in the border area, which makes me feel extremely gratified!”
Emperor Jing of Han smiled at Tian Qiong and continued,
"Tell me about the two wars that happened at the border!”
Hearing this, Tian Qiong started to tell Emperor Jing about the two battles.
After listening to Tian Qiong for a while, Emperor Jing of Han couldn't help but ask curiously,
"I am very curious. You have less than 2,000 men and you dare to charge into the grasslands of the Xiongnu army and kill so many people? How did you do it?"
He had also discussed this matter with many of the officials. Many of them found it hard to imagine that less than 2,000 people would dare to invade the grasslands and even kill so many people to escape!
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu tribes are scattered, and the grasslands are very vast. The team of less than 2,000 people led by me has a small target, which is very suitable for lightning warfare and mobile warfare!”
Tian Meng said with a smile.
"Blitzkrieg and mobile warfare?"
Emperor Jing of Han widened his eyes in confusion.
" That's right. Lightning warfare is all about speed, accuracy, and ferocity. The cavalry I lead are all elite cavalry that feed on the enemy. They don't have any baggage and are extremely fast. Even the Xiongnu might not be as fast as me. Moreover, I use surprise attacks and superior forces to annihilate the enemy..."
Tian Meng smiled at Emperor Jing of Han.
In the history of war, Huo Qubing had killed more than 2,000 people with his 800 cavalrymen when he charged into the depths of the Xiongnu. In the battle on the west of the river, he had even defeated 10,000 troops of King Hunxie and King Xiutu with 10,000 elite cavalrymen!
The tactic he used could be called blitzkrieg!
Emperor Jing's eyes widened. He knew that Tian Meng was talented, but this was the first time he had heard him explain the art of war in such detail.
It really surprised and delighted him!
This brother-in-law of his had really given him many surprises!
Very quickly, Tian Qiong briefly explained the two battles to Emperor Jing of Han.
Emperor Jing of Han nodded repeatedly as he listened. Although he was a layman in military affairs, as an emperor, he knew a little. He knew that his brother-in-law had extraordinary military leadership skills!
"In these two battles, you have made great contributions and greatly shocked the reputation of the Great Han Dynasty. I am very happy and gratified, and I will naturally reward you!”
Emperor Jing of Han said.
However, after he finished speaking, Emperor Jing suddenly stared at Tian Meng and said,
"However, I have a question!"
Emperor Jing of Han looked at the calm Tian Qiong and continued to ask,
"I clearly agreed to the conditions proposed by the Xiongnu. Why did the Xiongnu not only not retreat, but also seem to be angered and suddenly launch an attack?”
Tian Qiong's expression didn't change as he listened. His mind was calm.
Emperor Jing of Han was not a fool. It was impossible for him not to notice this problem. Even if he did not notice it, many of the ministers would notice it and speak to Emperor Jing of Han!
Emperor Jing of Han would send people to investigate sooner or later.
Now that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had asked him directly, it was obvious that he suspected him or that he had basically confirmed his identity.
"I angered the Xiongnu!"
Tian Meng told Emperor Jing calmly.
When Emperor Jing of Han heard Tian Meng's words, his expression did not change much. He had already guessed this.
As expected, who else could it be but him?
He was the only one who had changed out of all the governors in the border region!
Moreover, he knew that Tian Qiong was the one who insisted on starting a war with the Xiongnu!
Emperor Jing of Han stared deeply at Tian Meng and shook his head.
"This is only you, Tian Meng. If it was someone else, Zhen would not have let them off easily!”
