During the Great Qin Era.
Following that, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, changed his national policy.
The 500,000 Qin soldiers who were originally preparing to conquer Lingnan had changed their direction and were approaching the northern region. As long as everything was ready, they would launch a fierce attack on the Xiongnu!
At the same time, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, also issued an imperial edict.
The war between Great Qin and the Xiongnu was a country war.
This concerned the life and death of the Chinese people. They hoped that the heroes of the people would go to the Xiongnu land and fight bravely. They did not want to deal with the Xiongnu army, as long as they could destroy some small tribes.
After beheading them, they could cut off their left ears and use them as merit points to obtain Great Qin's nobility.
At the same time, a large number of craftsmen were also working day and night to forge stirrels, saddles, and horseshoes, striving to prepare for the army as soon as possible.
However…
Such a big move.
The Xiongnu people naturally wouldn't just sit by and do nothing, and they realized that Great Qin was about to start a life-and-death battle with them.
Under the leadership of the Xiongnu Chief, the various tribes gathered together and sent out an advance party of 30,000 people to launch a surprise attack on the Great Qin Empire's Beidi County.

Xianyang City, Qilin Palace.
The aura of war became stronger and stronger. Even a three-year-old child knew how heavy this country war was.
However, regardless of the attitude of the people of the six countries.
At the very least, the old Qin people maintained an attitude full of fighting spirit. In their eyes, the Xiongnu people were probably only worthy of being tools for promotion.
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly summon us?”
Li Si asked as he rushed in.
It had been quite some time since the court session, but they had suddenly summoned important officials to the Qilin Palace. Something important must have happened.
Li Si, Wang Wan, Feng Quji, Meng Yi.
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Yang Zaixing, Neishi Teng.
Apart from Meng Tian, who was stationed in Shangdang Prefecture, almost all of Great Qin's higher-ups were gathered here.
"If I'm not wrong, did the Xiongnu attack in advance?”
"Yes, I didn't expect them to make a move so quickly.”
Ying Zheng rubbed his forehead and said with a headache.
At the same time, he placed an urgent border report in front of everyone and passed it on to them.
After reading it, everyone's faces were filled with anger, as if they were completely angered by the Xiongnu's actions.
"Xiongnu dog thief! How dare you do such a thing!"
"When two armies fought, it was only right and proper for soldiers to be killed, but they actually killed Great Qin's citizens and hung their corpses on trees!”
"Since they want to do this, don't blame us for being ruthless!”
"Your Majesty, I request to fight!"
“..........”
As Generals, almost all of them had Great Qin's vigor.
If it was just a defeat, they would not be so angry.
However, if the soldiers affected the innocent civilians, then Great Qin would not be able to blame them for returning the favor. None of the Xiongnu herdsmen would be able to escape!
About thirty thousand Xiongnu cavalry had already appeared in Yuzhi County of Beidi Prefecture, surrounding it tightly.
Yuzhi County only had 3,000 soldiers.
Even if they mobilized the people to defend the city together.
They could only hold on for a limited amount of time. After all, the city walls were not very tall, and the ordinary people's fighting power was far inferior to Great Qin's soldiers and Xiongnu cavalry.
Meng Yi stood up and said,"It seems that the Xiongnu people don't want us to finish our preparations.”
"The Xiongnu have 300,000 people controlling the bowstring, and hundreds of thousands of herdsmen. Their strength cannot be underestimated," said Wang Wan with a serious expression.”
"Do we have to swallow our anger when the enemy is in front of us?" Feng Quji said indignantly.”
"Of course not. This Kingdom War isn't that easy.”Li Si rubbed his brows and said with a headache," We just need to wait another half a month before everything is ready. I suggest we wait a little longer.”
The sudden attack of the Xiongnu completely disrupted Li Si's plans.
Originally, as long as the Great Qin Empire was ready, they would have an absolute advantage in the battle against the Xiongnu.
If they were to rush into battle now, the damage would definitely be much greater than expected.
However…
The two countries were at war.
You can't expect everything to be exactly the same as you expected.
"If we wait any longer, Yuzhi County will be breached!”Yang Zaixing waved his black battle robe and strode in as he said angrily," Enemies have invaded our Great Qin territory. How can we sit idly by?”
Wang Jian, the Great Qin's God of War.
Although his expression was indifferent, the coldness he emitted made everyone shiver.
It looked like…
The Xiongnu had already forgotten their reputation.
That was right. As he grew older, his body was getting older and older. He could not withstand the long-distance expedition at all. Therefore, he could only retire in Xianyang City and could not fight on the battlefield.
His Majesty had returned to the peak of his youth, but he still maintained his old posture.
Unless he asked the immortal for the Longevity Pill, he probably wouldn't have many years left to live.
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!" Wang Ben stepped forward and said," I request to go to Beidi County to kill the Xiongnu!”
Wang Ben, Zi Ziwu.
He was the son of Marquis Wucheng, Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.
In the twenty-first year of the reign of the King of Qin (226 B.C.), he defeated the Chu army and seized more than ten cities.
In the twenty-second year of the reign of the King of Qin (225 B.C.), Wang Ben flooded Daliang and destroyed Wei.
In the 25th year of the reign of the King of Qin (222 B.C.), Wang Ben seized Liaodong, destroyed the Yan Kingdom, and then destroyed the remaining forces of the Zhao Kingdom.
In the twenty-sixth year of the reign of the King of Qin (221 B.C.), the State of Qi was destroyed. Since then, the State of Qin had unified the six countries, and Wang Ben was granted the title of Marquis Tongwu for his meritorious service.
Wang Ben had inherited Wang Jian's military prowess after years of war.
They became the pillars of Great Qin.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben had fought in the south and the north, sweeping across the world and destroying five countries, laying the foundation for the unification of the Qin Country. They had made great contributions and had a high prestige in the army.
However…
They knew how to advance and retreat, and they were not arrogant because they were favored.
In the end, he could return to his hometown with honor and obtain a very good result.
"There is no need to say anything more about the two generals. The crusade against the Xiongnu is a matter of the world. Teng is also willing to do his part to ensure the safety of the people at the border.”
Nesten said in a deep voice.
As the general who destroyed Han Country, his commanding ability was not as good as Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
However, it was not a problem to command a hundred thousand people in battle.
"I won't be patient at this time.”Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng's body emitted a heavy aura." Li Si, how many sets of the Three Treasures of Cavalry have you made?”
"Your Majesty, 30,000 sets have been forged. We still need 20,000 sets to complete the mission.”
He tapped his fingers on the wooden table in front of him.
As if he was thinking about something, Ying Zheng frowned, but then relaxed his brows. This number was almost enough.
"Very good! Since the Xiongnu had taken the initiative to issue a challenge, there was no reason to run away!”
"The situation in Yuzhi County is critical."
"Yang Zaixing will immediately lead 3,000 soldiers to reinforce them.”
“.........”
Ying Zheng gave out orders and assigned tasks.
The Bei Wei Army was an elite force, and they were cavalrymen. They were the most suitable for this kind of surprise attack.
"I accept your orders!"
Yang Zaixing cupped his fists and said excitedly.
As expected, the position of Vanguard Official had fallen on him.
Being able to rush to the front line to kill the enemies and exterminate the Xiongnu bandits was the true nature of a good man in China!
"Neishi Teng, you will lead a hundred thousand Qin soldiers to attack from Yan and ambush the Xiongnu tribes in the rear.”
"Understood!"
Nesten said with a murderous aura.
Since the Xiongnu killed the people of Great Qin, I will return them tenfold.
The Xiongnu army had already left the tribe and gathered near Shangdang County and Beidi County. This was the best opportunity.
"Wang Ben, listen up!"
"You will lead the remaining 400,000 Qin soldiers to face the Xiongnu army head-on.”
"I'll leave these thirty thousand sets of stirrels, saddles, and horseshoes to you.”
"I will get Meng Tian to cooperate with you. He will lead the 150,000 soldiers stationed at the border of Shangdang Prefecture to cut off the retreat of the Xiongnu army and make them unable to return.”
"As for the remaining 20,000 sets, wait until the craftsmen finish forging them in half a month.”
"They will be escorted to the front line together with the rations.”
“.........”
The young Ying Zheng could be said to be like the wind and lightning.
In just a few sentences, the general direction of this country war was determined. As for how to fight, it could only be handed over to the commander.
Because the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing.
No one could predict what would happen, so they could only adapt to the situation.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Ben was not arrogant at all even though he was the commander of 400,000 troops." I would like to request for a deputy general to ensure our victory in the war against the Xiongnu.”
"Who is it?"
"Li Xin!"
"Him?"
Ying Zheng was slightly taken aback as he said.
When Li Xin was young, he was strong and brave. He was a prominent figure in the younger generation of the Qin country. At the same time, he was also one of the young generals that the King of Qin trusted very much.
In the 19th year of the reign of Qin (228 years ago), after Qin captured Han Wang An and destroyed Han, Qin sent Wang Jian to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to approach Zhangshui and Ye City. Li Xin sent troops to Taiyuan and Yunzhong to surround the Zhao army with Wang Jian's army and break through Zhao in one fell swoop.
In the battle of Yan Country, Li Xin led the vanguard troops to the Yishui River first.
He defeated Prince Dan of Yan with light cavalry.
It laid the foundation for the war against Yan.
Unfortunately, during the war against the Chu Country, although Li Xin led 200,000 troops and advanced triumphantly in the early stages, in the end, he was defeated by the Chu General Xiang Yan because of the rebellion of Lord Chang Ping against the Qin Country.
From then on, Li Xin was unable to recover.
Although Ying Zheng had no intention of blaming him, and even wanted to put him in an important position again.
However, due to his guilt, Li Xin drank all day to drown his sorrows and was unable to pull himself together.
"Although Li Xin once defeated Xiang Yan, his commanding ability is undeniable.”Wang Ben nodded and said,"With him as our assistant, our chances of winning this battle will increase by more than 30%.”
"However, Li Xin has been depressed for a long time. I'm afraid he won't be willing to accept it.”
"I might have a way."
Yang Zaixing suddenly said.
Li Xin's current situation was no different from a cripple. He could only try his best.
Regardless of whether he could succeed or not, he had to give it a try.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave Li Xin's side to you. At most one day. If it doesn't work, you can head directly to Yuzhi County. The situation at the front line is urgent and cannot be delayed for too long.”
"I accept your orders."
"Li Si, Wang Wan, Feng Quji, Meng Yi.”
"Your subject is here." x4
"In this battle, including the border soldiers of Shangdang Prefecture, Great Qin has brought a total of 650,000 soldiers. We will definitely not allow any losses in terms of logistics and rations!”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The provisions are ready. When the immortal grain sweet potatoes are ripe, you don't have to worry about the lack of food.”
Li Si said seriously.
During this period of time, he had been working hard and had lost a lot of weight.
After setting up the mission, Great Qin and the Xiongnu were ready to start the Kingdom War. After leaving the Qilin Palace, everyone started to take action.
..................................................
..................................................
..................................................
Xianyang City, nameless tavern.
The business here was not very good, and there were almost no customers.
After all.
The conflict between Great Qin and the Xiongnu was already on the surface, and everyone's attention was focused on this Kingdom War. Who would still be in the mood to drink and have fun?
Great Qin's victory was still acceptable.
If Great Qin lost, the entire Central Plains would become the Xiongnu's horse racing ground.
"The war is about to begin; I hope that Great Qin can successfully defeat the Xiongnu.”
"Little…Waiter…Another pot of wine!"
A drunken voice sounded from the corner.
Dressed in silk clothes, one could tell that his identity was extraordinary. He was drunk and looked very sloppy.
If it wasn't someone he knew.
Perhaps no one would be able to recognize that this person was the once all-powerful Li Xin!
"Sir, you can't drink anymore. You've already drunk more than ten jugs of wine.”
"You... Thought I... No money? I have some money…Bring the wine!"
Li Xin was like a drunkard.
He took out a piece of gold and placed it heavily on the table as he spoke in a drunken manner.
Now.
The former Li Xin had already died in the war against Chu.
Now, he was just a drunkard who liked to get drunk all day to drown his sorrows. He had nothing but the gold and silver that His Majesty had given him in the past.
"Hey-"
The waiter sighed.
He was just an errand boy, so he could at most give him a few words of advice out of goodwill.
However, if the customer insisted on buying wine, he could not stop him. He could only run to get the wine helplessly.
However…
Halfway through, the waiter bumped into a sturdy man.
"Be careful."
Yang Zaixing reached out a hand and grabbed the waiter.
Yang Zaixing, who was wearing black armor, was much more distinguishable than Li Xin, who was drunk. With one look, he could tell that he was Great Qin's military officer, and he was not someone a waiter like him could provoke.
Others could crush him to death with a move of their fingers, so he hurriedly apologized.
"No, no, no. I was too rash and accidentally bumped into you.”
"It's fine. Is this pot of wine for him?”
"Yes, yes."
"Give it to me. I'll take it to him.”
Yang Zaixing took the wine pot from the waiter and strode forward.
He directly sat in front of the drunk Li Xin and smashed the pot of wine on the table, maintaining a straight posture.
"Give it to me…Wine..."
"The Great General Li Xin, who once shocked the world, has actually fallen to such a state?”
"You are…Who?"
Li Xin barely raised his eyes and looked at the burly man in front of him.
He wore Great Qin's black armor and was most likely a General in the army. However, he was a completely unfamiliar face.
He didn't know her at all.
He was probably a young general who had risen recently.
"Commandant, Yang Zaixing."
"Don't. Stop me from drinking…"
"Under His Majesty's orders, I invite you to take on the position of Deputy Commander of the Qin Army.”
"No, no, no. I'm not going!" Li Xin shook his head and directly refused," I won't..." And then lead the army to fight..."
Fear.
She was afraid.
Guilt.
This was Li Xin's current mental state.
He was afraid of leading his troops into battle, afraid of killing his comrades again. At the same time, he felt guilty for his rashness, causing hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers to die on the battlefield. As long as he closed his eyes, he could see countless of his comrades dying.
They didn't have to die.
It was all because of his own incompetence that led to all of this.
"It's not up to you whether you want to go or not!"
"Can you…What can you do to me?"
"Let me sober you up first. You look drunk.”
Yang Zaixing glared at him and slammed the table.
He grabbed Li Xin's collar and dragged him towards the water tank.
Li Xin, who was drunk, didn't have much strength and couldn't resist Yang Zaixing's strange strength. He could only be dragged along.
"Hualala-"
He pressed Li Xin into the water tank.
A large amount of clear water directly poured into his nose and mouth, making Li Xin suddenly tremble. He wanted to take a big breath, but at the same time, the water directly poured in.
About ten breaths later.
Yang Zaixing lifted Li Xin from the water tank and threw him on the ground.
This could be said to be the fastest way to sober up. Although it was a little rough, the effect was definitely first-class.
"Cough cough-"
He coughed a few times and spat out all the water.
Li Xin's mental state had obviously recovered a lot, and he was no longer in a drunken state.
"You brat, you actually dare to be so rude to me.”
"What I, Yang Zaixing, respect is a man of indomitable spirit, not a coward like you who only knows how to escape from reality and get drunk here. So what if I'm rude to you?”
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
"Come at me if you have the ability!"
Yang Zaixing and Li Xin had bad tempers.
They immediately started fighting.
Of course.
This was only a one-sided beating. It could not be called a battle at all.
Li Xin had been decadent for several years, and his martial arts had deteriorated a lot. In addition, he still had some alcohol left in him. It was unrealistic for him to defeat Yang Zaixing, who was ranked in the top ten in Chinese history.
After ten rounds, Li Xin was directly beaten down.
"It looks like the Celestial was wrong about this person. How could such a useless coward save Great Qin?”
"Immortals?"
"Only a drunkard like you doesn't know. His Majesty has been blessed by the immortals and has now recovered to his youth. He has also given them immortal grain sweet potatoes that can produce 50 stones per mu.”
"What do you mean by saving Great Qin?”
Li Xin, who was beaten black and blue, stood up and asked.
He had also heard a little about immortals.
Since Yang Zaixing had mentioned it, he was definitely not lying. How could a cripple like him save Great Qin?
"The immortal said that Great Qin will be at a disadvantage in this war.”
"At that moment, a General named Li Xin will step forward and save Great Qin from danger.”
"In fact, the hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers who died in the war also asked the immortal to tell them that they hoped that you could pull yourself together again.”
"Now it seems that placing all my hopes on a piece of trash like you is a complete waste of time.”
“..........”
Yang Zaixing crossed his arms and said disdainfully.
Li Xiao Han didn't say anything about this. He just made it up to use the name of the immortal to stimulate Li Xin to get back on his feet.
Even Yang Zaixing wasn't sure how effective it would be.
He was just trying.
The immortal shouldn't be angry because of this, right?
Li Xin asked in disbelief,""Immortal…Really?"
Yang Zaixing waved his hand and said," It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Great Qin's fate is on the line in this war, and every Chinese citizen has to contribute. We can't stay out of it, so I don't have time for a drunkard like you.”
The situation at the front line was urgent.
He naturally couldn't waste the whole day with Li Xin.
If they stayed for another two hours, Yuzhi County, which was besieged by the Xiongnu, would have a higher chance of being breached.
"It seems that Immortal has misjudged you.”
Yang Zaixing said and was about to walk out.
He was not good at persuading others. He had already done what he could do. The rest could only depend on fate.
"Wait!"
Li Xin suddenly said.
The prestige of Celestials was irreplaceable among Great Qin's upper echelons.
As a defeated general, he was actually able to gain the attention of an immortal and was even able to save Great Qin from its predicament.）'，If he continued to be depressed, he would only let more soldiers die in vain.
The authority of immortals.
Li Xin naturally wouldn't doubt it, but believed Yang Zaixing's words.
"Is there anything else?"
"Kill the Xiongnu, bring me along."
Li Xin said in a low voice as if he had made up his mind.
The immortals trusted him so much, and the soldiers who had died in battle also hoped that he could cheer up. How could he continue to be depressed?
"Let's go see General Wang Ben, he's been waiting for us.”Yang Zaixing said," I'm going to the front line to support Yuzhi County. I hope to see you active on the battlefield."”
"Good! See you on the battlefield!"
Li Xin's aura was no longer as dispirited as before.
It seemed that Yang Zaixing's method of using the name of the immortal to stimulate him to cheer up was effective.
The Huns invaded.
For generals like them who were determined to fight for their country, there was only war!
Yang Zaixing and Li Xin parted ways and headed towards different military camps.
..................................................
..................................................
..................................................
Outside Xianyang City.
Three thousand elite Bei Wei Army cavalry were lined up.
Everyone gathered together. There was no oath or nonsense. Everyone naturally arranged themselves into a battle formation.
Yang Zaixing was the leader.
They would become the nightmare of the Xiongnu!
"All troops, listen up! Target: Yuzhi County, Beidi County!"
"Advance quickly!"
"Destroy the Xiongnu!"
“........”
With a terrifying aura, the Bei Wei Army set off.
Their speed far surpassed that of ordinary cavalry because each of them was equipped with the three treasures of cavalry. In addition to the high quality of their warhorses, as well as their excellent riding skills and willpower, they could maintain the state of a forced army for a long time and still possess sufficient combat strength!
