Since Yingzheng finished the reward in the court, the door of the Meng family has almost never been closed, and there is almost an endless stream of people who come to congratulate and give gifts. In addition to the subordinates of Ma Hoof and Meng Yi, these people also have other ministers who come to make friends with the Meng family, after all, the Meng family is now a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and the two brothers are both Ying Zheng's henchmen, and they are in power, and befriending them is undoubtedly beneficial to their future official career promotion.

In the past two days, Meng Tian and Meng Yi have been tired enough, Meng Yi is better, he is familiar with the position of the imperial doctor, and the officials under him are all familiar people, and there is no big change as soon as he takes office, but the office location has changed.

In contrast, Meng Tian's affairs were almost out of control, because he was now in charge of the Qin State's million-strong army, and all kinds of things were sent to him almost every day. At the beginning, it was good to say that as long as there was a stop in the middle, there would be an extra stack on the table as long as there was a convenient gap to go to the toilet, which made Meng Tian feel that this was harder than leading the troops to fight.

So much so that he complained to Ying Zheng for most of the day every time he attacked, saying that although he was in a high position, he was overwhelmed by military affairs every day, and as a commander who commanded a million-strong army, he did not die on the battlefield, and finally fell next to the bookcase, isn't it a joke.

Ying Zheng laughed heartily when he heard Meng Tian's words, he knew Meng Tian's character best, he didn't like to read when he was a child, and he was not interested in books at all except for military books. Now that he has to deal with volumes of official documents every day, it is indeed a little difficult for him.

"That's it, tomorrow I will give Wang Juan a decree, he is a lieutenant, and his responsibilities include being in charge of the army, and in the future, these things of reviewing military affairs will be handed over to his subordinates, and you will be responsible for training the soldiers and horses of the Qin State for me. ”

Ying Zheng's will was issued, and the next day Wang Juan's civilian officials packed up all the military affairs on Meng Tian's case and took them away, and the military affairs that Meng Tian needed a day to deal with were handled in less than half a day in Wang Juan's hands, even better than Meng Tian's handling. After Meng Tian found out, he couldn't help but sigh that he had a specialization in the art industry, and playing with a pen was indeed not his forte.

Meng Tian's courage is lighter, and he has more free time, he accompanies his wife and son at home every day, teaches his son to ride horses and shoot arrows, and goes to the barracks every once in a while to inspect it, and his life is also comfortable.

Suddenly, one day, an invitation was delivered to him, and when he opened it, it turned out that Yu Jia and Lao Zhou came together and invited him to have a wedding wine with the two of them. No wonder Yu Jia didn't go to the front line when he attacked Chu and Qi, it turned out to be because of this. But that's okay, originally Yu Jia had some favors for Meng Tian, but now she has someone she likes, and the two of them are still people around her, which is a good thing.

On the day the two got married, almost half of the generals in the Meng family's army went to congratulate the two, and Meng Tian also took his wife Zi Yanran and Meng Tianci, who was already a half-young man.

At the wedding, Meng Tian was invited to the main seat, not only because he was the commander of the Meng family's army, but also because he was the matchmaker for the two. Lao Zhou saw Yu Jia's first face when he was searching for Chang Yu, although Lao Zhou didn't have any good feelings about Jia at that time, Yu Jia was interested in Lao Zhou. After a long time, Lao Zhou also had feelings for this beautiful woman, and later under Meng Tian's matchmaking, the two hit it off. Originally, the wedding of the two should have been held a long time ago, but at that time, the Mengjia army was fighting outside, and Lao Zhou had to monitor the casting of weapons in the barracks every day, and there was no time to spare, so the wedding of the two was delayed until today.

Looking at so many elite generals of the Mengjia army, there are Meng Li, Du Hui, who are older than him, as well as Zhou Zhe, who later came from his grandfather and father, as well as Xue Bin, Ma Feng, and his disciple Tu Qin, who has grown into the head of the first army, and many young generals who they know but can't name. Meng Tian had the illusion that the Meng family army under his command was definitely the most elite army today, and with them, he could conquer the entire world.

The Qin army fought with the Six Kingdoms in the Central Plains for many years, but the national strength of the Qin State became bigger and stronger, and the territory was also bigger and more, and the Xiongnu tribes in the north of the Qin State were always ignored.

By the time the news of the war in the north reached the Xianyang City Yingzheng, the Xiongnu in the north had almost agreed to the grassland, and the army was about to go south to attack the border of Qin.

Before the Qin State unified the world, the war between the Central Plains and the Xiongnu had always been evenly distributed to every prince bordering the Xiongnu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin. Today, it has become that the Qin State itself has to face the attack of the Xiongnu army, and the northern defense line is precarious.

"The northern Xiongnu army is going to invade the northern border, I wonder if you Aiqing can solve it?" Ying Zheng said as he sat on the throne.

Prime Minister Li Si came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that General Meng Tian's opinion is the most important thing, and the ministers are all civilian officials, although they have heard about the march and fight, but they are not proficient, and I hope that Your Majesty will summon General Meng Tian to discuss this matter together." "Reading.com

Ying Zheng nodded, he looked at the queue of generals, but did not find Meng Tian's shadow. "What about Meng Tian, why isn't he here today?"

"Back to Your Majesty, General Meng went to the Mengjia army camp yesterday, saying that he wanted to inspect military affairs and would not be able to return until tomorrow. Wang Juan said, Meng Tian is not here, he is the person in charge of military affairs, and Meng Tian has sent someone to convey the news to Wang Juan when he left yesterday.

"Tomorrow?" Ying Zheng closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said: "Go and send someone to find Meng Qing back immediately, the matter of fighting against the Huns cannot be delayed, and there is no big problem in military affairs for one less day of inspection." ”

"Yes. ”

Before Yingzheng's people left the gate of Xianyang City, Meng Tian, who had just arrived at the barracks, got the news that the Xiongnu were about to go south and rushed back to Xianyang directly. When he arrived in Xianyang, it was already the middle of the night, and he freshened up and slept at home, never thinking that he would be late in the morning.

"Your Majesty, the Meng family army is asking to see you outside. ”

As soon as the court was dispersed, Ying Zheng returned to the harem, and taught his eldest son Fusu to practice calligraphy, and hurriedly let Meng Tian come in after hearing the report of the inner servant.

"Chen Mengtian saw His Majesty the Emperor, the minister just arrived at the military camp yesterday and got the news that the Hun army was going south, so the minister didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed back from the military camp, I didn't want to sleep at home in the morning, I didn't go to court, please punish Your Majesty. Meng Tian knelt in the hall and said.

Ying Zheng let go of the hand that taught Su Lianzi, and he said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just worried that the Great Wall in the north will not be able to resist the Xiongnu army, so I'm so anxious to call you back, since you're back, what do you have in mind?"

Meng Tian thought for a moment, and he said: "Your Majesty, since the time of Zhou Tianzi, the northern Xiongnu have repeatedly invaded our Central Plains, and every time they go south, they will shoot and slaughter the places they pass through, which is very cruel. Later, the princes built the Great Wall in a dangerous place, which kept the horse's hooves of the Xiongnu out. But looking at the Great Wall in the north, my Qin State, the previous Wei State, the Zhao State and the Yan State, all the Great Wall is intermittent, and there are many places in the middle of these Great Walls that are not defended by the Great Wall, and these places are the key offensive areas of the Xiongnu. ”

"So you're trying to ......"

"Yes, what the minister means is that if we can say that these Great Walls are connected together, then we can wait for work and completely block the Xiongnu from the Great Wall, so that they will not be able to enter at all, and the northern border of our Qin State can be completely worry-free. Meng Tian said his own method.

This method is really good, Ying Zheng looked at the topographic map of Daqin hanging on the wall of the palace, which clearly marked the Great Wall built by the northern princes in the past.

Meng Tian stood behind Ying Zheng, he also looked at the map, and he said: "Tomorrow, the minister will lead the army to the north and defeat the Xiongnu, and then Your Majesty can sign the people to go to the north to build the Great Wall and connect them together, which is the best policy." ”

"Okay, I'm ready. Ying Zheng said that although this will consume a lot of gold and silver property, as well as a lot of manpower and material resources, but after success, it can ensure that the northern frontier of Daqin is free from the harassment of the Huns, which is really a method once and for all.

"I'll leave this matter to you, and you must block the Huns for the widow!"

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister will let the Huns taste the power of my Great Qin Iron Cavalry!"
