The next day, at morning court.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, summoned all the civil and military officials.
The court was silent, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
Killing intent soared into the sky, as if there was an undercurrent surging underground.
Last night, the 800-mile journey was rushed.
It had already been delivered to the hands of the civil and military officials.
The Xiongnu went south and destroyed many of the Great Wall that was under construction.
Facing the Xiongnu's attack, Great Qin's soldiers felt a common hatred.
In the past decades, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had led his soldiers to sweep the world and unify it.
He had not been able to free up his hands to stabilize the north.
Now that the Xiongnu had attacked, this was the best time to eliminate them.
General Li Xin cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu have always been arrogant and have coveted the border of our Great Qin for a long time!”
"If our Great Qin does not send troops to destroy the Xiongnu, I'm afraid that we will raise a tiger in the future!”
"I hope Your Majesty will quickly send troops to eliminate the bandits.”
Hearing this, the ministers nodded.
"Your Majesty, General Li Xin is right. Now that the main force has been sent out, we can deal a heavy blow to the enemy and eliminate the invading enemy!”
"Your Majesty, a real man should devote himself to the country. This is a good opportunity for us to show off!”
General Wang Jian stood out at this moment.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to lead a cavalry to destroy the Xiongnu. I hope Your Majesty will allow it.”
General Wang Jian was a famous general with outstanding military achievements. Now that he was willing to accept the order to go out, everyone was unanimously optimistic.
"General Wang is willing to accept the order to set out, that's for the best. It seems that the Xiongnu are doomed this time.”
Indeed, if they wanted to attack the Xiongnu, they had to hit the snake and hit the seven inches when they went south. If they returned to the north and then caught them, it would be difficult!
It was precisely because these Xiongnu were unpredictable that they had to attack decisively.
If it was true, General Wang Jian would lead the army and chase the enemy deep into the hinterland. Perhaps this time, they could really get rid of the Xiongnu once and for all.
To be honest, he was not afraid of the Xiongnu at all. The key was that he was running around everywhere. He was afraid that he would not come out. Once he came out, he would attack. This was the most reasonable plan.
When General Li Xin saw that General Wang Jian had already requested to set out, he immediately cupped his hands and said.
"This one is willing to be General Wang Jian's deputy general and do my best to help Your Majesty resolve the war in the northern border of the Xiongnu!”
Upon hearing this, the ministers were instantly impassioned.
These two generals had outstanding military achievements and were famous generals.
One was the main general, and the other was the deputy general. With such a combination, they would definitely return victorious.
Great Qin might not be good at governing the country, but it was good at fighting wars.
In terms of strength, Great Qin would definitely be at its peak.
None of Great Qin's Generals were afraid of death.
Now, not only did the Qin Dynasty have Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Zhang Han, Li Xin, and the like, they also had soldiers who were good at fighting!
Moreover, the Qin Dynasty had been developing its economy, reducing taxes, and developing its national strength. With such a powerful backing, sending troops was only a matter of attitude.
At this moment, the eyes of all the officials were filled with blood as they fixed their eyes on the First Emperor, Ying Zheng.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, drew out the Tai Ah Sword from its sheath.
He, Ying Zheng, had been fighting in all directions all his life, and had never been afraid of war.
Previously, he had led his troops to conquer the Six Directions and had not been able to free up his hands to stabilize the north. Now that the Xiongnu had actually come knocking on his door, he was courting death. It was just the right time to fight.
Ying Zheng held his sword and shouted angrily.
"I have led my troops to conquer the four directions and have experienced hundreds of battles in my life.”
"Now that the Xiongnu are difficult to invade, we can give them a good blow!”
"If we can't exterminate the Xiongnu, how can we face the people of the world?”
"The sword has already been unsheathed, so there's no reason to take it back. We absolutely can't stop the war without seeing blood!”
"Even if it costs the national treasury, millions of grain, and thousands of carts of gold, we will uproot the Xiongnu!”
However, at this moment, Prime Minister Li Si cupped his hands and said,"
"Your Majesty, the extermination of the Xiongnu is definitely a done deal!”
"However, Great General Wang Jian is already very old. This subject can only recommend one person to be competent for the position of general!”
Hearing this, First Emperor Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Li Si, who do you want to recommend to me?”
Everyone looked at Li Si.
After all, Li Si was the right-hand man of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, and he was very resourceful.
Li Si had played a huge role in the establishment of Great Qin.
Moreover, the Great Qin Dynasty did not lack generals, but there were very few civil officials, so Li Si was a rare civil official.
As the saying went, martial arts could bring peace to the country, and literature could govern the country. Great Qin lacked talents like Li Si.
Now, Li Si's words naturally carried weight.
Li Si said calmly.
"Your Majesty, the person I recommended is Great General Meng Tian!”
"Compared to General Wang Jian, General Meng Tian has led troops for many years in his prime. He is experienced and has made great contributions.”
Seeing Li Si recommend General Meng Tian, the First Emperor Ying Zheng's face sank like water.
It was indeed so. Although General Wang Jian's fighting spirit was high, his age was placed here after all. He was not suitable to lead troops into battle.
It was only a matter of time before General Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu.
Thinking of this, First Emperor Ying Zheng nodded and said loudly.
"Meng Tian, listen up. I order you to lead 300,000 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu. You must completely destroy the Xiongnu before you can return!”
Upon hearing the order, Meng Tian immediately left the office and cupped her hands.
"I accept your orders!"
After the court session ended, General Meng Tian immediately returned to her own General Manor.
He summoned the deputy generals in his residence for an emergency military meeting.
He formulated a detailed battle strategy against the invading Xiongnu Meng Tian.
After all, it was not enough to rely on bravery in war. One had to be resourceful.
The general's manor was brightly lit, and the discussion of tactics lasted until the second half of the night.
At the same time, 300,000 cavalrymen were also gathering at Xianyang.
In order not to waste any time, Meng Tian had already mobilized the cavalry from various places to gather near Xianyang in case of emergency.
Immediately, the entire Great Qin was filled with battle intent.
Whether it was food or weapons, they were all in the midst of preparation.
Meng Tian was already familiar with all of this. Having led the army for many years, Meng Tian was naturally very familiar with these common military matters.
As the saying goes, when the battle flag is all over the world, the horse will step on the Xiongnu to enjoy the autumn flowers.
