"The mission has not been completed. How would this commoner dare to come back and report!”
Wu Shiluo smiled apologetically and quickly said.
"So, Mao Dun is dead?"
Hearing what he said, Ying Ziye was slightly surprised.
He had completed the mission in two days, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Dead!"
"He was shot to death by a headful of arrows!"
"This is all thanks to the information provided by His Highness the Crown Prince. Otherwise, this commoner wouldn't have been able to kill that Mao Dun so quickly with the help of Touman!”
Wu Shiluo told Meng Yi and Wang Ben about his trip to the Xiongnu in detail, and Meng Yi and Wang Ben were dumbfounded.
He actually relied on his mouth to cause chaos in the Xiongnu?
He even killed the Crown Prince of the Xiongnu!
Xiongnu King Touman Chanyu was also heavily injured!
Since when were merchants so powerful?
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other. There was a trace of respect in their eyes when they looked at Wu Shiluo.
A mere merchant had actually done something that even they, as generals, could not do!
"You said that Touman was also seriously injured?"
Ying Ziye's focus seemed to be different from theirs.
"This…seems to be the case!"
Wu Shiluo thought for a moment and was not sure." The arrowhead has sunk three fingers deep into his back. Coupled with the anger that attacked his heart, it will probably take at least ten days to half a month for his head to recover!”
"Oh right, when I returned, I saw that the villages at the border of Great Qin had all been burned and looted!”
"There are charred corpses everywhere in the village!”
"I can often see the corpses of Great Qin's citizens by the roadside!”
"Sigh…!"
Wu Shiluo sighed and recounted the tragic scene he saw when he returned.
When he went there, he rode a fast horse back to the Wu Castle to save his family. He took the jewelry and went to the Xiongnu Kingdom overnight.
Therefore, he did not pay attention to the situation in the border villages.
When they returned, they had brought a large number of livestock and were quite slow. Only then did they discover that almost all of Great Qin's villages had been wiped out.
"These bastards!"
Meng Yi and Wang Ben clenched their fists in anger.
"When I came back, I saved a group of captives. They are all citizens of Ning City!”
"It is said that the villages in Ning City were almost completely massacred by the Xiongnu!”
"The Xiongnu couldn't do anything to the Meng army, so they could only go and harm the people!”
"There are probably less than 10% of the people in Ning City now!”
Wu Shiluo also told him about the miserable situation in Ning City, which made Ying Ziye's killing intent boil.
"Meng Yi, Wang Ben, listen up!"
"I'm here!"
"I'm here!"
The two of them quickly cupped their fists and waited for orders!
"I order the two of you to quickly lead a hundred thousand warhorses to the north of the desert!”
"Zhang Han, Meng Tian, and I will each lead 50,000 troops. We will split into four groups and kill all the Xiongnu within a month!”
"Remember! It's extermination!"
"Leave no Xiongnu alive!"
"Within a month, if the Xiongnu tribe still exists, the four of you can go home and take care of your children!”
After learning that the people of the North Desert had been slaughtered, Ying Ziye's killing intent boiled. He directly gave the four people a death order.
The day before yesterday, Zhang Han had already escorted the rations, horseshoes, and seventy thousand cavalrymen to Mobei!
With the addition of the 200,000 Meng army, this force was enough to sweep through the Xiongnu!
"Yes, sir!"
"I will obey your orders!"
The two men, who were already filled with righteous indignation and rubbing their fists, gladly accepted the order. Then, they left the Crown Prince's residence and prepared to set off!
The two of them made up their minds that whether it was for Great Qin's citizens or their own future, they had to complete this mission!
The Crown Prince was not the First Emperor!
If they could not exterminate the entire Xiongnu clan in a month, they would definitely lose their military posts and go home to coax their children!
After following the Crown Prince for so many days, they had personally seen one official after another being exterminated!
The Crown Prince was being very merciful by letting them go home to coax the child!
However, as generals, if they were sent home to coax their children...
To them, it was a great humiliation!
He might as well kill them!
"Right, when I returned, the captives said that they wanted to join the Meng family's army. I even asked them to send 100,000 cattle and sheep to comfort Great Qin's soldiers!”
After Meng Yi and Wang Ben left, Wu Shiluo mustered up his courage and took the credit for himself.
This was a great opportunity to please the Crown Prince. How could he miss it?
"Yes!"
"You did well!"
"On account of your great merit, this prince will not make things difficult for your family!”
As expected, after hearing what he said, the Crown Prince was very satisfied and agreed to let his family off on the spot!
"Thank you, Crown Prince!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
When Wu Shiluo heard this, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands, thanking him repeatedly.
Everything he had done was for his family!
Especially his young children. When they heard that Ying Ziye had let them go, he was so happy that he almost wiped his tears.
One had to know that more than a hundred noble families in Xianyang City had all been wiped out.
He was already considered lucky to be able to protect his entire family!
……
"Hurry!"
"Hurry up and nail the horseshoes for me!"
In Ye City in the north of the desert, Meng Tian was personally commanding her subordinates to nail the feet of the warhorses.
Yesterday, Zhang Han had brought 70,000 cavalrymen to escort the rations over. Other than the rations, he had also brought 90,000 sets of horseshoes!
Hearing that this thing could allow the warhorses that had been eliminated to return to the battlefield, he quickly commanded and nailed the feet of the warhorses.
"Fortunately, our brothers didn't let us kill these 90,000 old horses. Otherwise, our Meng army would have lost 90,000 cavalry!”
Beside them, one of the captains said with a gratified expression as he watched the eliminated warhorses run happily after being nailed to their feet.
"With these 90,000 Cavalrymen and the 70,000 Cavalrymen brought by General Zhang, let's see if the Xiongnu still dare to harm the people of Great Qin!”
"Humph!"
Meng Tian slapped the horse rail and said indignantly.
Recently, because the Meng army had too few cavalry, the Qin army could only stay in the city.
The Xiongnu, who could not take down the city, began to harm the people outside the city.
In the past, when the Xiongnu invaded the south to harm the people, by the time they sent out their infantry, the Xiongnu would have long fled without a trace!
Now, with these 160,000 Great Qin Cavalry, they no longer had to worry about the Xiongnu invading!
As soon as the Xiongnu arrived, Great Qin's cavalry would immediately move out and catch them off guard!
"By the way, yesterday, the Xiongnu surrounded my Ye City. Why did they suddenly retreat?”
The lieutenant asked in confusion.
"It's indeed strange!"
"I've already ordered scouts to go and investigate. There should be news soon!”
Meng Tian stroked her beard. After frowning and thinking for a moment, she finally shook her head.
"Rumble…!"
Just as the two of them were talking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the city. It was as if an earthquake had occurred, and the entire city was trembling slightly.
"What happened?"
Meng Tian frowned slightly and led her generals up the city wall.
With one look, he could not help but be overjoyed!
An army was seen driving a dense number of warhorses towards Ye City.
The team's flag was embroidered with black dragons!
This was Great Qin's Black Dragon Flag!
"This should be Meng Yi escorting the warhorses!”
"From the sound of it, these warhorses are all nailed with horseshoes. Otherwise, the sound wouldn't be so loud!”
"Come, open the city gates and welcome General Meng!”
Zhang Han cupped his hands and watched for a while before quickly giving the order to open the city gates.
It didn't take long for the hundred thousand warhorses to enter the city.
……
"The Crown Prince has ordered us to lead 50,000 troops each and split into four groups to attack the Xiongnu!”
"We must exterminate the entire Xiongnu clan within a month!”
"Leave no one from the Xiongnu alive!"
"In a month, if the Xiongnu still have a tribe, let the four of us go home and coax our children!”
After entering the mansion, Meng Yi and Wang Ben solemnly conveyed Ying Ziye's order!
Time was tight. They did not dare to delay even a little.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he could not complete the mission within a month!
"The Crown Prince's orders, not His Majesty's imperial edict, don't take it too seriously!”
"The Crown Prince is still young, how would he know anything about leading troops into battle!”
"How can it be so easy to destroy the Xiongnu and their entire clan?”
"The two of you have a good rest. In a few days, after the horses are distributed, we will discuss how to counterattack the Xiongnu!”
Hearing what the two said, Meng Tian waved her hand disapprovingly.
It wasn't an imperial edict from the First Emperor, so he didn't care at all.
Furthermore, the Meng family had always supported Fu Su as the Crown Prince. They were his hardcore supporters!
But now, he suddenly made the useless Ninth Prince the Crown Prince. This made him feel quite unconvinced.
Everyone in the world knew that the Ninth Prince was illiterate. He couldn't even write his own name.
The ten teachers who had taught him were either angered to the point of vomiting blood or going crazy!
Such a good-for-nothing was even made Crown Prince. He seriously suspected that the Emperor was old and muddle-headed!
"Big brother, don't be so unreasonable to the Crown Prince!”
Seeing that he didn't take Ying Ziye's order seriously, Meng Yi couldn't help but frown.
Now, he was in awe of Ying Ziye!
In his heart, Ying Ziye's position was even higher than that of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
Not to mention that his elder brother was disrespectful to the Crown Prince, even if it was his own father, he would definitely not agree!
Therefore, as soon as his big brother finished speaking, he opened his mouth and rebuked angrily!
