Just as Ying Jing was seriously starting to build the city wall, the Xiongnu Royal Court.
"What do you mean? King Zhelan died in battle? Ten thousand of the thirty thousand cavalrymen were lost?”Chief Touman looked at the centurion in front of him in disbelief.
The centurion said helplessly," That's how it is. Our warriors fell for the Qin people's trap. King Zhelan unfortunately died in battle, and a large number of our warriors also died because of it.”
Chief Touman asked angrily,""Who made you choose to send troops privately? Why didn't I know about this? Why didn't you send someone to inform me beforehand?”
Faced with Chief Touman's series of questions, the centurion smiled helplessly and said,"" This was King Zhelan's decision. King Zhelan wanted to swallow those tens of thousands of Qin people in one bite and expand his tribe, but he didn't expect to fall into the Qin people's trap. I'm also responsible for this matter, so please punish me.”
Hearing this, Chief Touman couldn't help but sneer." Those Qin people have always been cunning. Is this the first day you met those Qin people? Haven't the Qin people given us enough blood and tears before?”
"Humph! He wanted to eat for himself, but he couldn't. He stuffed himself to death, brainless thing!”
"Those Qin people dared to come to the depths of the grasslands. How could they not have any tricks up their sleeves?”
" King Zhelan was stupid, but he caused tens of thousands of my Xiongnu warriors to die with him. He deserves to die. He deserves it. It's a pity for those ten thousand warriors.”
The centurion lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
No matter what, Chief Touman was now the second most important figure in the Xiongnu. He knew that no matter how angry he was now, it would be useless.
Moreover, the loss of 10,000 warriors in the Royal Court would definitely cause a stir in the Western Regions.
The most important thing for him now was to appease the various kings of the tribe together with the Great Chief.
Moreover, they had to start reshuffling the internal structure of the entire grassland.
After pacifying all the tribes, Chief Touman finally had the time to think about how to deal with these Qin people who had appeared in the hinterland of the grasslands.
"Alright, I understand. You can leave first.”Chief Touman waved his hand and let the centurion leave.
This matter had already happened, and King Zhelan had paid the price for his foolish actions. Chief Touman did not want to pursue this matter anymore.
When the centurion heard this, he ran away as if he had been pardoned.
After the centurion left, Chief Touman looked at the simple map on the table and began to think.
King Zhelan's actions were indeed foolish and infuriating, but it also reflected one thing.
The Qin people who had suddenly appeared in the heart of the grasslands were not to be trifled with.
The 30,000 cavalrymen had attacked together, but in the end, they had lost 10,000 cavalrymen. King Zhelan himself had also died in battle. It could be seen that these Qin people who had come to the grasslands this time were indeed quite capable, but they were a huge problem for the Xiongnu.
However, Chief Touman also understood that these Qin people here had to be dealt with.
This was because the Qin army was stationed too close to their palace. How could they sleep at night?
Moreover, if the Qin people were to set up prefectures and counties here, it would be like a knife stabbing straight into the heart of the Xiongnu royal court.
Chief Touman decided that after he had arranged all the tribes, he would send out troops with all the tribes on the grassland to completely solve the problem of this Qin man.
When Chief Touman decided to stabilize the internal situation of the entire Xiongnu, he didn't know that his action gave Ying Jing's territory a big chance to breathe.
While they were panting, a tall city had already been erected proudly in the hinterland of the grassland in less than half a month.
In Ying Jing's territory, a 20-meter-tall, 10-meter-wide city was proudly overlooking the entire grassland.
Even though this territory was only 10 square kilometers, which was not even 10% of Ying Jing's fief, Ying Jing's fief was 10,000 Mu in radius, which was 40,000 to 50,000 Mu, which was about 25 or 26 square kilometers. It was even larger than some of Great Qin's small or medium-sized Cities.
Even though the area didn't look very big, in Ying Jing's eyes, this was the limit of what he could do in his free time.
After all, there were only so many people in Ying Jing's territory. He had to build the city wall and prevent the Xiongnu from taking revenge.
Therefore, building a city that could be defended as soon as possible was the first thing Ying Jing had to consider. It didn't need to be big, as long as it could temporarily accommodate these people.
When the number of people under him increased in the future, he would expand it.
Fortunately, there was no movement from the Xiongnu side during this half a month.
This allowed Ying Jing to mobilize all the people without any interference and build the city in half a month.
Although this city didn't occupy a large area, Ying Jing dared to say that the height and thickness of the city wall could definitely be compared with Xianyang City.
The walls of Xianyang City were no higher than 15 meters and no wider than 6 meters.
Xianyang City was incomparable to Ying Jing's city.
When the city was completed, Ying Jing stood on the city tower.
The tense expression that had been on his face for the past few days finally relaxed.
Ying Jing had never felt that a city could give him such a sense of security.
As long as he had this city, he wouldn't have to worry about the Xiongnu people bringing him any danger. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive, afraid that he would be shot by the Xiongnu people that day.
In this half a month, the number of people under Ying Jing had also increased tremendously.
This was the third month since Ying Jing had obtained the system.
The population had increased to more than 8,700 people a day.
In this half a month, Ying Jing's fief had also increased by 130,500 people. In addition to the original 100,000 people here, Ying Jing's fief now had 240,000 people.
The increasing number of commoners also meant that Ying Jing's confidence was increasing.
Now, he had directly drawn out an army of 50,000 people.
Even though the combat strength of these armies could not be said to be very strong.
However, his weapons and equipment had also been greatly improved during this period of time.
