It's urgent. The Huns are coming.
The messenger from the border had rushed back to Xianyang. This news spread throughout the city within a day, and the people were in danger!
It was not because of anything else, but because the words Xiongnu made countless people tremble in fear.
The Xiongnu were a tribe of barbarians that lived on the outskirts of the Great Wall. They ate raw meat and drank blood. They were extremely cruel!
The people at the border had encountered many invasions by the Xiongnu. These barbaric Xiongnu armies burned, killed, and plundered all kinds of evil. They would even massacre cities in a moment of excitement. They would slaughter all the men, young and old, and kidnap all the women to become slaves.
Ever since the War of the Seven Kingdoms, the Xiongnu had always been a great threat to everyone.
However, when the Qin Emperor swept across the Six Directions, he did not have the time and energy to fight against the Xiongnu. It was not that he did not have the ability.
It was mainly because he was being held back by the sects, Heavenly Court, and many other forces.
This also gave the Xiongnu a chance to recuperate.
Later on, even when the Qin Emperor was still around, he rarely fought the Xiongnu head-on. They mostly focused on defense.
The main reason was that the Xiongnu were nomads all year round, and their archery and horse skills were very impressive!
Moreover, the Xiongnu's regions had harsh climates and complicated terrains, and there were ambushes everywhere. If Great Qin's soldiers chased into the Xiongnu's territory, they would often get lost before they could even fight, or they would encounter all sorts of bad weather.
Most importantly…
Where the Xiongnu were, resources were extremely scarce. Even if they occupied it, it would not be of much use.
If the land was fertile and the people were rich.
Great Qin's cavalry had long since wiped out the entire race!
The Xiongnu seemed to have known about this, so they had never been too arrogant. Most of them only brought a small number of people to plunder all the resources in the border towns, just like raiders.
But now, they had gathered their forces to attack Great Qin?
This was really the opposite!
The crowd analyzed that the Xiongnu must have received the news that His Majesty Ying Zheng was not in seclusion. Therefore, they believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After all, Great Qin's people knew that the Xiongnu were eyeing them covetously, and they were prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to devour Great Qin's territory.
Those who are not of our race must have different hearts!
Even though Great Qin's people were somewhat afraid of the Xiongnu, they trusted the Thirteenth Prince Ying Mo even more.
They firmly believed that he could defeat these evil Xiongnu!
"Don't be afraid! The Thirteenth Prince could even suppress the dragon race and even force back such a terrifying evil dragon, so why would he be afraid of a mere Xiongnu!”
"That's right, we must have confidence in His Highness. His Highness is the Imperial Prince appointed by His Majesty the First Emperor, so he definitely has a foolproof plan.”
"These despicable Xiongnu have been invading the borders of Great Qin all year round. I hope Your Majesty can capture them all in one fell swoop!”
At this moment, everyone was waiting for Ying Mo's reaction with full confidence.
Almost all the citizens were filled with anticipation for him.
At the same time.
Wang Jian and the other Great Generals were already impatient.
Meng Tian snorted coldly.
"Humph! "How dare the Xiongnu! I'm not guarding the border, but they don't know what's good for them and dare to invade our Great Qin!”
Wang Jian said angrily in a deep voice,"
"Our swords have been covered in dust for a long time. It's time to sharpen our swords with the blood of our enemies. The Xiongnu invaded our territory and will be killed no matter how far away they are!”
"Do the Xiongnu think that they can take advantage of the situation just because His Majesty is in seclusion? What wishful thinking. If he really thought that the Thirteenth Prince was easy to bully just because he was in charge of the country, then he was gravely mistaken!”
In their hearts, the Thirteenth Prince, Ying Mo, was far from being comparable to the First Emperor.
However, Ying Mo's domineering attitude and his unyielding attitude in the face of external enemies had earned the approval of these generals.
In their eyes, Ying Mo was already the one with the most kingly aura among all the princes. As long as he was properly nurtured, he would definitely be able to take over the throne of the First Emperor.
His Majesty's judgment was quite good.
Therefore, they could now accept their loyalty to the Thirteenth Prince and protect their country. They would never let the Xiongnu taste any benefits!
Meng Tian sneered."
"These Xiongnu are only relying on the protection of a few barbarian evil gods. Do they think that they can stop Great Qin's cavalry with just those evil gods and people of all walks of life?
This time, I will definitely lead the great men of Sanqin to break through the frontier fortress and destroy their imperial court in one fell swoop!”
These Great Generals knew that Great Qin had built the Great Wall for many years not to defend against the Xiongnu, but for another important purpose.
If it wasn't for that matter, they would have driven the Xiongnu far away. Even their royal court had been trampled countless times!
This sudden action caused all the forces to turn their attention to Ying Mo once again.
In Ghost Valley.
A sage-like old man sat cross-legged on the cliff wall.
He was the most mysterious person in the world, the founder of all strategists, the famous Su Qin, and Zhang Yi's teacher.
Guigu 'zi.
He was also the founder of the School of Political Conspiracy. He had been living in seclusion in the mountains, allowing his youngest disciple, Sima Cuo, to enter the mortal world and participate in the affairs of the world.
Sima Cuo had also become the chief justice of the nine ministers of Great Qin, and was in charge of the security of Xianyang City.
At this moment, Guigu 'zi calculated with his fingers and slowly raised his head to look at the sky."
"We can't go against the general trend!"
The scholarly faction.
Everyone laughed coldly.
There was no turning back. Back then, the scholarly faction had already made things difficult for Ying Mo in the imperial court. Now, no matter how the situation developed, they had no choice but to press forward to the end.
Moreover, the only person that the scholarly faction supported was Young Master Fusu. Regardless of whether Ying Mo was a Human Sovereign or had the talent of an Emperor, he was still a match for Fusu.
Therefore, the Confucians had to force Ying Mo to abdicate, no matter what method they used.
The attitudes of all parties were similar.
They were all waiting to see how the Thirteenth Prince would deal with the invasion of the Xiongnu.
Although…
The Thirteenth Prince's performance had been stunning several times.
First, he made the powerful official Zhao Gao suffer in the court.
After that, he had Dong Zhongshu kill the Dragon King of the Western Liang River with a single sword strike and get rain for the people.
After that, there was a Human Emperor's decree that suppressed the water of the four seas and forced the dragon ancestor back.
However, this time was different from before.
This was because ever since the ancient God Deification War, there had been restrictions between heaven and earth. No cultivators, immortals, or gods were allowed to interfere in the wars of the mortal world's dynasties!
Otherwise, if a cultivator killed a large number of mortals, it would bring about a monstrous negative karma and damage the harmony of the heavens. Even immortals would not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, in the later dynasty wars, even if there were cultivators leading the army, it was still cultivators fighting cultivators and mortals fighting mortals.
Therefore, even if the Thirteenth Prince had a mighty figure like Dong Zhongshu under his command, he couldn't make a move.
In the end, the battle between the two armies still depended on whether Ying Mo had talent in military affairs and whether he knew how to use people well.
After all, this land was conquered by the First Emperor. If one wanted to be the ruler of a country, they had to have military tactics!
Soon, a voice came from the palace.
"How is this possible? Why would His Highness give such an order!？”
At this moment, following a strange order, everyone's expression stiffened.
