Anning Village has become a ruin, and the soldiers of the Mengjia Army did not find the villagers of Anning Village who survived under the butcher knives of the Huns. After burying the bodies of all the villagers in the field outside Anning Village, Meng Tian led his soldiers slowly towards the camp.

On the road, Meng Tian rode a horse and walked in front, his face was ugly, and he didn't say a word coldly. Xue Bin rode a horse and followed closely behind him, Xue Bin could feel the anger and fighting intent suppressed in his chest emanating from Meng Tian's body, it seemed that killing that group of Huns did not calm Meng Tian's self-blame for the death of the villagers of Anning Village.

Xue Bin was also followed by the brothers of the Meng family army who had followed him for several years, and seeing the general sullen in front, they were not very familiar with Meng Tian's temperament, so several people stepped forward and walked up to Xue Bin and asked him to persuade the general.

Xue Bin looked at Meng Tian's back, he shook his head, "You don't know the temper of the general, this is the time when he is most upset, he doesn't like to be disturbed." If the general's wife is here, she is best suited to persuade the general, and even if we go, it will be useless. ”

"General, you go and try it, you see that among our people, you have the best relationship with the general, if you can't do it, we can't do it. A cavalryman of the Mengjia Army wearing the armor of the commander said.

Xue Bin looked at him, and he whispered: "Zhang Wei, don't think I don't know, yesterday you washed the general's mount, didn't you have a good chat with the general yesterday afternoon? Why did you have an estranged relationship with the general today?"

The Wu Chang named Zhang Wei scratched his head and said, "Aren't I afraid that the general will whip me?" General, it is most appropriate for you to go, the general is the commander of our 300,000 brothers, and we don't feel at ease about his appearance." ”

Xue Bin raised the horsewhip in his hand, Zhang Wei shrank his head in fright, turned the horse's head and went around the middle of the team. Xue Bin saw that the brothers behind him were all looking at him, he sighed, and then drove forward.

"General, General. Xue Bin drove his horse and Meng Tian walked side by side, shouting in his mouth.

Meng Tian was riding on a horse and was pondering, when he was suddenly interrupted by Xue Bin's voice, turned his head to look at Xue Bin on the side, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xue Bin shook his head, and he said, "The brothers saw that you were depressed, so let me persuade you, I hope you don't take the affairs of Anning Village to heart." The people of Anning Village have already received the notice, and their village chief said that the people will be moved to the city the day after tomorrow, but we did not expect the Huns to come so quickly, which led to this tragedy. ”

Meng Tian shook his head, and he said in a deep voice: "No, I am to blame for everything in Anning Village, I shouldn't be so negligent." The Huns' combat style is like this, once they find the target, they will send people to hunt and kill, and leave after killing, leaving us a chance to pursue at all, this time it is good that it is night, and the Huns do not have the habit of rushing at night, so I can catch up with them and avenge the people who died tragically under their swords. ”

Xue Bin continued: "But we didn't recruit those Huns over, and we didn't expect them to kill them directly. It's none of your fault, General. ”

Xue Bin wanted to continue, but Meng Tian raised his hand to stop him. "But after all, they are the ones who killed under our noses, and we are responsible for this matter anyway. ”

Xue Bin, who originally wanted to enlighten Meng Tian, listened to Meng Tian's words, and he also felt that he was responsible for the dead people in Anning Village, so he also lowered his head and stopped continuing to enlighten Meng Tian.

Returned to the border city barracks, the sky was completely bright, the soldiers who had been busy all night returned to the barracks, set up their war horses, returned to the camp tent, and fell asleep.

Meng Tian returned to his tent, he couldn't sleep no matter what, as soon as he closed his eyes, the darkness was full of the tragic death of those people in Anning Village, so that he couldn't sleep at all. 120

Taking off his heavy armor, Meng Tian asked his soldiers to bring a basin of cold water and wash their faces. Then sitting behind the table, he decided to truthfully report what happened in Anning Village to Emperor Yingzheng, and on the way he had a bold idea in his heart, he also wrote it down and reported it to the court.

Meng Tian wrote down the idea in his heart on the blank bamboo slip on the table, his crazy idea is indeed very bold, and this plan is very difficult to implement, and it can even be said that it can not be done in a year or two, or five or ten years.

"His Majesty the Emperor led the army to the border when he suddenly heard that the Huns had invaded the border of my Great Qin and wantonly slaughtered the people of my Great Qin in the territory of my Great Qin. The minister did not dare to slack off, and led the elite soldiers of my Mengjia army to annihilate all the thieves outside my territory. Although the ministers annihilated all the lands outside my territory, the Hu people also killed hundreds of people of our Qin State before they were destroyed. ”

"The minister is thinking, if we can keep the Hu people outside the territory of our Qin State and use a high wall on the border of our Qin State, so that the hooves of the Hu people cannot be offended again, can we be difficult for a while, and protect my people from the scourge of the Hu people's swords. This is the minister's idea for a while, and he specially orders His Majesty the Emperor to ask His Majesty to take a look. Meng Tianyao wishes His Majesty long live, long live, long live. ”

After writing the cantata and waiting for the ink on it to dry completely, Meng Tian put it into a cloth bag specially designed for bamboo slips, and then asked the soldiers at the door to find the soldiers who were responsible for delivering the battle reports.

Meng Tian handed over the bamboo slips to the messenger in charge of delivering the letter to Xianyang City, and instructed him to hand them over to His Majesty the Emperor himself. Sending the bamboo slips away, Meng Tian didn't know why, but he felt that his heart was no longer so depressed as just now, lying on the simple bed, closing his eyes, there was no tragic situation in Anning Village in front of him, and it didn't take long to fall asleep.

By the time Meng Tian woke up, it was already afternoon when the sun was about to set. Got up and stretched, put on a coat at random, Meng Tian walked out of the tent, and asked his soldiers guarding the door, "What kind of fighting happened during the day?"

The soldiers of the Meng family's army, who were guarding the tent for Meng Tian, suddenly saw the general standing beside him, jumped, and hurriedly replied: "See...... Seen the Great General. ”

Meng Tian covered his mouth and yawned, and said, "It's okay, don't be so nervous, I just want to know if the Huns came to attack the city during the day?"

The soldier thought for a moment, and then replied, "Back to the general, no." However, the brothers who guarded the city said that there were Hun scouts under the city, but they only watched from a long distance and then left. Then the lieutenant marshal led 2,000 men out of the city, saying that he had gone out to inspect the border. ”

Meng Tian nodded, it seems that the news of the death of the team of Huns who slaughtered Anning Village has not been transmitted back, otherwise, according to the Huns' revenge temperament, it is estimated that he will not sleep so peacefully today.

It is better for Meng Li to go to inspect the border, so that the tragedy of Anning Village will not be repeated again, and he can settle down and arrange a battle plan against the Huns.

Meng Tian said: "Well, you two will go to the city wall with me, it seems that you two have just joined the Meng family's army." ”

The two young men were thrilled to hear that the great general they admired had let him follow him around the city walls. The two of them nodded frantically to answer Meng Tian's question, the two of them had indeed just joined the Meng family's army for a short time, because they couldn't go to the battlefield to fight for the time being, so they were sent to guard Meng Tian's handsome tent.

Meng Tian shook his head, as if he saw himself when he first joined the army from the two little guys in front of him, although he was only about forty years old now, but he had spent half of his life in the barracks.

Climb the city wall, outside the city is the green grassland and the yellow Gobi in the distance, and further north is the territory of the Xiongnu, where countless Xiongnu people lived, and perhaps there is also the same vast area as Daqin, which extends to the northernmost horizon. In the same way, there are countless enemies of the Qin State, and they all covet the land of the Qin State, the wealth of the Qin State.
