Meng Yao was ordered by Liu Jin to lead the twenty-three Mengjia cavalry straight to the Mengjia ranch.

Meng Yao is the best martial artist among the hundred Mengjia warriors that Meng Lie gave to Liu Jin, he is only twenty-three years old, but his martial arts are not weaker than ordinary second-rate generals.

recalled that a few days ago, Liu Jin left the Mengjia Ranch with himself and 100 other people, but now when he returned, there were only 24 people left. Meng Yao's heart was sad, but his expression became more and more determined.

For Meng Yao, Liu Jin is excellent in martial arts, and he treats himself and others well. is also a confidant of the hundreds of Meng family children who have only been together for a few days, and this sense of trust can make Meng Yao go to the soup for it. The so-called death of a confidant is nothing more than that.

Just when Meng Yao secretly made up his mind, a group of more than 6,000 war horses had galloped to the left of the Mengjia ranch.

A 100-strong Mengjia cavalry patrol saw a large number of war horses galloping over, and thought it was the Huns who had invaded the territory! Under the leadership of the captain, they first released a signal to inform the ranch to prepare for battle, and then the team stopped in front of Meng Yao and the others.

"I thought it was the Huns! I didn't expect it to be Brother Yao, didn't Brother Yao follow General Liu to fight the Huns, why did he come back?" Meng Ang, the leader of the Meng family's cavalry, asked puzzled.

Meng Yao, who was leading the way, was very happy when he saw that it was his good brother Meng Ang who was patrolling. He said, "Hey, don't mention it." It's urgent to come back today, so hurry up and take me to see the head of the family."

Seeing that Meng Yao's tone was a little heavy, Meng Ang did not dare to slack off. He immediately ordered his subordinates to take the Mengjia cavalry sent back by Liu Jin to settle down in the ranch, and he took Meng Yao all the way to the Menglie Mansion in the middle of the ranch.

The two of them were in a hurry, and they didn't have a stick of incense before they came to the tethered horse stone outside the mansion. Meng Yao was worried about Liu Jin's safety, and he didn't have time to tie the horse, so he jumped off the horse and ran to the door.

But before Meng Yao could run a few steps, four cold spears were in front of Meng Yao with a hint of murderous aura. Fortunately, Meng Yao's skills are not bad, so he was not stabbed.

Just as Meng Yao was about to ask what was going on, he heard someone speak: "Untie your sword and wait for the master to summon you." Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Hey, the more anxious you are, the more wrong you are, and you even forgot the rules of your own house." Meng Yao secretly said that he was stupid, and hurriedly took off his saber and handed it to the person who spoke.

He said eagerly: "I also asked this brother to report to the head of the family quickly, and said that Meng Yao is back, and there are 100,000 urgent matters."

Seeing that the eager expression on Meng Yao's face did not seem to be fake, and that there was also the leader of the patrol team who came with him, the man immediately nodded. He didn't answer, but turned around and ran into the door.

Monlie's mansion consisted of more than a dozen tents, surrounded by a ring of wooden fences. Although the entire mansion covers a small area, it is also a unique existence in the entire Mengjia ranch.

Just when Meng Yao was eagerly waiting, Meng Ang, who was following behind, gasped and said, "Brother Yao, what's so urgent." Look at the brother tired".

Hearing this, Meng Yao turned to look. But when he saw Meng Ang, who was in his twenties, sweating profusely and panting, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Then he said with a straight face: "We fought a fierce battle with the Huns outside Yanmen Pass, and hundreds of brothers died in the battle. Liu Sima asked me to come back to find the head of the family, there is an urgent matter."

This can also scare Meng Ang, although Meng Ang is also a child of the Meng family, but he is young, only nineteen years old this year, and has not been on the battlefield or experienced the war with the Huns. Suddenly, how can you calm down when you hear that hundreds of people have died in battle?

"The head of the family ordered Meng Yao to be seen". Just as the two of them were talking, a majestic voice came from the mansion, and the voice reached the ears of Meng Yao and the others in a moment from far and near.

When Meng Yao heard this, he didn't have time to answer to Meng Ang, so he immediately turned around and ran into the mansion.

In the big tent, Meng Lie, who was dressed in a cyan suit, and Meng Yong, who was dressed in white, looked forward to it. Outside the tent, there were also twenty-four Mengjia warriors guarding closely, all of whom were vigilant, obviously elite soldiers.

As soon as Meng Yao entered the big tent, he heard Meng Lie speak: "Meng Yao, what is the urgent matter for you, so reckless?" ”。

Meng Yao, who had just entered the tent, was sweating profusely, and Meng Yao, whose wound had collapsed again, gasped and recounted the fierce battle, and at the same time handed over the blood letter that Liu Jin handed over to Meng Lie.

I saw that the blood book read: "Brother Liu Jin respects, the Huns are fierce, and my brother is fortunate to be able to get out of danger temporarily with the help of nobles." However, the Yanmen guard Han Tao repeatedly wanted to trap his brother in the land of death and life, and now his brother lost his troops and was afraid that Han Tao would ask his brother for the crime, so he sent Meng Yao and others to bring 6,500 good horses and 40 boxes of gold and silver to his brother. One is used as the capital of the Mengjia's son, and the other is to ask the elder brother to lend hundreds of men and horses. I hope that my brother will send reinforcements as soon as he sees the letter, and I am afraid that my brother's life will not be saved at night."

After reading it, Meng Lie's face couldn't help but change greatly. Hurriedly asked Meng Yao: "That Yanmen guard Han Tao and I are also old acquaintances, and my brother Liu Jin is a general in his department, how dare he frame him?" ”。

When Meng Yao heard this, he didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly recounted what had happened in the past few days. From the very beginning, Han Tao and Xue Lan wanted to frame Liu Jin, to point Liu Jin to fight in Heyero, and then to order Liu Jin to attack the Xiongnu camp at night.

In Meng Lie's view, none of these things are not simple. If you are not careful, you will either die in the hands of the Huns, or you will be punished by Han Tao with military law.

Judging from Han Tao's actions, as long as Liu Jin is defeated or loses face of the Han army, it will definitely be difficult to escape Han Tao's military law.

"It seems that my brother is right!" Meng Lie said secretly in his heart. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted coldly: "Han Tao old thief, how dare you deceive me."

Meng Yong on the side had been listening to the conversation between the two, and heard his father's cold drink. I didn't know what to do for a while, so I asked, "Father, what should we do?" ”。

As soon as these words came out, Meng Lie was also a little stunned. It is said that with Meng Lie's appreciation of Liu Jin, he should immediately send troops to support, but Meng Lie is the head of the family after all. As the lives of tens of thousands of men, women, and children in the entire Mengjia Ranch are at stake, we can't be cautious.

For a moment, there was only the sound of Meng Lie pacing back and forth in the big tent. And Meng Yong and Meng Yao looked at each other, sometimes looking at each other and sometimes at Meng Lie, who was pacing, and there was an indescribable feeling in their eyes.

After a long time, Meng Lie spoke, but asked Meng Yao: "What you said is true?" ”。

When Meng Yao heard this, he immediately said with a straight face: "I don't dare to deceive the head of the family, Liu Sima fought bravely and took the lead." He was brave and strategic, and led us to kill thousands of Huns! ”

Hearing this, Meng Lie made a decision. He knew that this was the moment when the Meng family had to make a decision.

First of all, Liu Jin is brave and resourceful in combat, although he is a little cautious, but as a general of the border army, he has a net worth of 100 people, and he cannot be cautious.

At this point, Meng Lie believes that Liu Jin is in line with the ancestral teachings of the Meng family. Because Liu Jin is doing the work of guarding the frontier and defending the country in the Meng's legacy.

Secondly, Meng Lie admires Liu Jin very much. In Meng Lie's opinion, Liu Jin is open-minded and his martial arts are not bad. When fighting, not only take the lead, but also bravely break the back. This is not true in today's era, but it is rare in the entire border area of the Han Dynasty.

If there is a lack of time, it should be time and strategy. In Meng Lie's mind, as long as Liu Jin can become a military attache of the level of a guard general or a Hun Zhonglang general. With his martial arts and his somewhat good strategy, with only a certain amount of time, he would definitely be able to train a strong frontier army that was far superior to many of the current ones.

This is just putting aside personal feelings, if according to the friendship between the two, Meng Lie should also send troops to help.

Thinking of the above, Meng Lie made a decision. Immediately said: "Yong'er, you quickly order a thousand men and horses to go to Yanmen Pass with your father." In addition, if you stay in the pasture, you must send more scouts to prevent the Huns from sneaking attacks."

When Meng Yong heard this, he immediately went to prepare. On the one hand, Meng Lie arranged for Lang Zhong to heal Meng Yao's injuries, and on the other hand, he inquired in detail about what had happened in the past few days.

Listening to Meng Yao's narration, Meng Lie admired Liu Jin even more. said that he was not wrong.

About half an hour later, Meng Yong had already counted a thousand men and horses, and ordered someone to ask Meng Lie to prepare for departure.

When Meng Lie heard this, he immediately returned to his room.

After a while, Meng Lie came to the school yard dressed in armor. I saw that Meng Lie was wearing a pair of standard pre-Qin general armor made of fine iron, and he did not wear a helmet, but used a hair crown to tie up the roots of his hair, and the rest of his hair hung down at the back of his head.

In addition, Meng Lie also carried an eight-foot-six-inch silver spear in his hand. The style is extremely simple, but the three long blood grooves on the sharp blade of the spear make people shudder.

Meng Lie, who came to the school grounds, was stunned when he saw the people his son had prepared for him. Hurriedly asked, "Why did you transfer the Yiwu Battalion out?" ”。

Yiwu Battalion, one of the strongest troops of the Meng family. This unit adheres to the traditional training methods of the Mengtian era, and its combat effectiveness is amazing.

I heard Meng Yong say: "The child heard Meng Yao say that there were tens of thousands of Huns, but his father only brought a thousand men and horses, and he was afraid that his father would be in danger, so he took the initiative to mobilize the Yiwu camp." ”

Meng Lie listened to his son's words and was very pleased. Then he said: "Only this once, not the next one." Do you remember what the legacy of your ancestors said? ”。

"Keep it in mind," Meng Yuan replied loudly, looking solemn.

"All right, keep the pasture for my father. This is a tiger talisman, and the remaining three battalions must not be mobilized unless absolutely necessary, especially the centaur must remember not to act rashly, understand? ", saying that Meng Lie escaped with a tiger-shaped sigil and handed it to Meng Yong.

The tiger talisman was a necessary thing for the ancient generals to mobilize the army. This sigil is divided into two halves, half in the hands of the emperor and half in the hands of the leading generals. But whenever the army is transferred to the battle, the emperor will hand over the other half of the tiger talisman to the army, and only when the two halves of the tiger meet the two into one, the generals can mobilize the army to fight.

And Meng Lie's tiger talisman is Meng Tian's tiger talisman back then, only the right half, which was later handed down as a token of the head of the Meng family, and it is also a token of troop transfer.
