The fire was bright, and Meng Tian's tent was surrounded by people. They were gathering their generals to discuss countermeasures.
"The sound of the wind ~"
The tent was pulled open and a general in black armor walked in quickly. The cold wind blew in, causing the fire lamp in the tent to flicker.
Meng Tian frowned and took a closer look. It was her deputy general. Seeing that he was nervous, she quickly asked,""What is it?"
"General, we just received news that apart from the Xiongnu army harassing Beiguan City at Shanhai Pass, Yanmen Pass, Beidu Pass, and Liangcheng have also been attacked by the Hu, Jin, and other allied armies.”
"What?"
Were these Xiongnu and other foreign races crazy? They actually dared to come on a large scale and even allied with so many people. They really had the guts of a bear or a leopard.
You're courting death!
Besides the North Capital City at Shanhai Pass, the other border cities were in a state of emergency and needed reinforcements.
The deputy general was also a little angry, but he was also very helpless. Recently, he had indeed been a little relaxed in the county capital."General, this time, the Xiongnu people combined the strength of the three countries and caught us off guard. This is what we didn't expect.”
Meng Tian was furious. She had left tens of thousands of troops for each border county. Were they all useless? They could not even solve this problem.
Although Meng Tian was angry, he was not stupid. This was not the time to be angry. He had to solve the problem.
Although the Xiongnu, Hu, and Jin had gathered a large number of troops, they had spread out. It was obvious that they were only here to plunder some provisions for the winter. They would not stay for long, nor would they rashly attack any border cities.
However, they could not allow these Outsiders to act arrogantly at Great Qin's borders.
"Men, quickly gather soldiers and send 10,000 reinforcements from each County. We can't let the Xiongnu Outsiders charge into the border, or we'll deal with them according to Great Qin's laws.”
"Right!"
Meng Tian suddenly thought of something and asked,""Why hasn't the food arrived yet?”
Hearing this, the deputy general's expression changed slightly. He stammered for a long time before saying,
"The scouts have reported that the grain transport army is currently resting two hundred miles away. Tonight…I'm afraid they won't be able to reach the camp.”
Meng Tian glared at him and shouted.
"The military situation is so urgent, why didn't you speed up? Why did you stop?”
The adjutant quickly explained," General, please calm down. It was His Highness's decision to let the commoners rest."”
Fu Su was the supervisor of the army, and the so-called supervisor was appointed by the Great Qin Imperial Court to control the transportation of supplies and the rewards and punishments of the generals.
In theory, he was on the same level as the Great General. Although he could not command the three armies, he had the responsibility of rewards and punishments and the right to manage logistics.
Both sides could only cooperate and not order each other around.
It was indeed Fu Su's authority to manage the supply team, but...
It would delay the development of the military!
Meng Tian sighed in her heart. Thinking of Fu Su's personality, she had already guessed most of it. She could only helplessly let people continue to urge her, but she had no choice. Fortunately, there was enough food at the border. Otherwise, Meng Tian would be in trouble.
However, Young Master Fu Su's pure and innocent personality was a little too much. As the Lord, how could he do this? Although the safety of the people was important, the country was the most important. If one was not ruthless enough, how could one hold power and control the world?
This kindness was really not used at the right time.
Meng Tian rubbed her brows tiredly. She could not help but think of another person. Ying Dan, who was also a Prince of Great Qin like Fu Su.
Although they were both young masters, Ying Dan's personality was different from Fusu Jianran's.
One was pure and kind, but a little pedantic. The other had a strong personality and was decisive in killing! They were two completely opposing existences.
Meng Tian admired Ying Dan very much. He was an outstanding general!
Over the years, the Xiongnu had been moving south, but Ying Dan had been guarding Yanmen Pass and the northern city. However, there was no destruction. Instead, the people could live and work in peace. It was extraordinary.
It could also prove how powerful Ying Dan was. He was a talented general. It was not a problem to pacify one side and retain merit.
But…it was a pity.
If nothing unexpected happened, Ying Dan would probably die at the border and guard Great Qin for her entire life. Returning to Xianyang would be a joke.
Of course, Meng Tian was just a foreign official and had no right to interfere in the First Emperor's family affairs. It was just a pity that he had arrived.
"I wonder what Young Master Dan is doing now?
.........................
The Yellow River flows through the earth, the Yellow Plateau, the Heshan Mountain to the north, the Yinshan Mountain to the east, and the plains of northern Liaoning, where it falls into the sea.
The northern part of the Yellow Earth Plateau was a river, and the land was fertile. It was also under Great Qin's jurisdiction. Three years ago, Ying Tian had defeated the Barbarians and controlled half of the territory, establishing the North Capital City.
However, there were still more than ten barbarians living in the northwestern part of the inland river. The great battle three years ago had caused countless casualties, and they were slowly recovering. They had always hated Great Qin, but they had no choice but to not resist.
It could be considered that Ying Dan had beaten them into fear. And this time, Ying Dan really came for them.
The Barbarian Race was good at fighting, and their cavalry could not be underestimated. Ying Dan had spent a lot of effort to defeat them back then.
However, Ying Dan knew that it was these Northern Barbarians who often disguised themselves as Xiongnu people and plundered the south.
A dog really couldn't change its ways.
……
At the foot of Mount Helan, in a barbarian tribe.
"Hu ~"
The heavy cowhide curtain was lifted, and a young Xiongnu man strode in.
His name was Mo Fei, the eldest son of Yu Touman, the Great Dan of the Xiongnu. He had a noble status.
Mo Fei looked at the barbarian leaders in the tent with disdain in his eyes. It was obvious that he looked down on them. He had come to call for the Chanyu's plan and persuade some of the barbarian leaders to attack Great Qin's territory.
"What? Sir Mo Fei, you're not joking. Letting them attack Great Qin's northern capital with you is not appropriate. Our people have finally recovered some soldiers in the past three years, so we don't dare to offend Great Qin now.”
Even though they were afraid of the Xiongnu King, they were even more afraid of Great Qin. Of course, they could not openly reject Mo Fei, but they had never thought that Mo Fei would be so direct and ask them to attack Great Qin together.
What was the difference between this and courting death?
Mo Fei said,"Don't be impatient. Everyone has been here for a long time, so we can't get any information." You don't know that our Xiongnu has already joined forces with the Wind Hu and the Jin Kingdom to invade the south. The Qin people are already unable to take care of themselves. Why would they find trouble with you? We're all prairie brothers. Shouldn't we enjoy the benefits together?”
" Moreover, since I'm here, I must have made some progress. Otherwise, I wouldn't have looked for you. Our Xiongnu army is attacking Shanhai Pass, and Meng Tian doesn't have the time to worry about where Great Qin's main force is. You can lead your people and attack Northern Chengdu with me. With the cooperation of our elites, we can recover the inland river and restore the customs of the Defying Barbarians. Isn't that good?”
