Chapter 120 A Small Gift for the Huns
The Xiongnu were gathering their troops, and Ying Yu was not idle either.
In the past few days, he has been supervising the construction of dikes by the recaptured Huns prisoners.
Meng Tian and Han Xin, on the other hand, led a small team of rangers to sweep around.
The Qin cavalry, supported by the three artifacts of war horses, was simply not something that the Huns could contend with.
In just a few days, the two of them wiped out dozens of Xiongnu tribes, large and small.
At the same time, in Xianyang City, in the Qilin Hall.
"Your Majesty, there is news coming back from the north, a great victory for the ages... a great victory for the ages."
Seeing Meng Yi rushing towards him with excitement on his face, all the officials in the palace looked surprised.
"Your Majesty, a great victory for all eternity!
General Han Xin led 10,000 trapped soldiers to attack thousands of miles away, and successfully reached the edge of the Xiongnu royal court.
In one battle, he killed hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu people, broke through the royal court, and captured the Xiongnu Shanyu Touman alive."
"Your Majesty, this is an unprecedented victory!"
It was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop throughout the Qilin Hall.
At this moment, all officials were in shock.
Ten thousand soldiers not only defeated the Xiongnu royal court, but also captured the Shanyu alive?
This is simply incredible.
Han Xin led his troops deep into the grassland, and many people in the palace knew about it.
They were opposed to it at first.
In the eyes of these officials, this is a complete suicide attempt.
But who would have thought that Han Xin could actually do it?
Ten thousand trapped soldiers broke through the Xiongnu royal court and killed hundreds of thousands of people. How is this possible?
And that arrogant Xiongnu Chan Yuman Touman, who repeatedly sent troops to invade our border with Qin, was captured alive like this?
Isn't this too easy?
Even if you kill 100,000 pigs, it's not that easy, right?
After a brief shock, the officials started talking one after another.
"Haha...Okay, okay!"
"This boy Han Xin really did not disappoint me."
"If you have detailed information, I would like to know how he did it."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng stood up from the throne in excitement.
I think he had to force Han Xin to lead a surprise attack on the Huns' court with 10,000 soldiers.
But even Brother Zheng himself didn't expect that Han Xin could do it to such an extent.
In the first battle, more than 100,000 people were killed, and Shan Yu Touman was captured alive.
At this moment, Brother Zheng felt that he had a lot of dignity on his face.
"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know the specific situation yet. I only know that General Han Xin used fire attack, and a huge fire directly burned the Hun royal court into ruins.
It's just that after this battle, our Da Qin soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Only 800 of them are still alive today.
All the other soldiers were buried in the sea of fire, not even a complete body was left."
Meng Yi looked a little ugly when he mentioned the trapped warriors.
All the soldiers who were trapped in the war were orphans, and their fathers were all old Qin people who died on the battlefield.
Only 800 of the 10,000 trapped soldiers are alive now, and they are already dead in name only.
The First Emperor's face on the high platform also became ugly.
Thinking back to those days, if it weren't for these brave warriors who were not afraid of death and attacked the city, how would the Six Kingdoms have been destroyed so quickly.
With a sigh, the First Emperor Ying Zheng spoke loudly:
"The soldiers who were trapped in the war have sacrificed a lot for our Great Qin, and I owe them a lot."
"When they come back, I will make up for it."
"By the way, did Yu'er mention when the teacher will return to Xianyang?"
As soon as Brother Zheng said these words, everyone looked at Meng Yi.
After these two wars, everyone knew that when Gongzi Yu returned to Xianyang, things would probably change.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Young Master said that he will set up an ambush in the Xiongnu royal court, wait for the Xiongnu reinforcements to arrive, and destroy the entire Xiongnu in one fell swoop!"
"Bang!"
As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking, Brother Zheng slapped the table angrily.
"This kid is getting more and more unruly. He becomes so lawless after achieving a little success."
"If I remember correctly, did he bring only 20,000 people?"
"Twenty thousand people want to destroy the Huns? What nonsense? What nonsense?"
"Send an order to get him back to Xianyang immediately!"
Seeing the angry and roaring Brother Zheng, the officials quickly lowered their heads for fear of being implicated.
But they all knew that His Majesty the First Emperor was so angry because he was too worried about this lawless Sixth Young Master.
"Your Majesty, Xianyang is so far away from the Xiongnu royal court. It may be too late to send orders at this time."
Meng Yi looked at the livid-faced First Emperor and stepped forward helplessly to remind him.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Young Master Yu is so brave that he will escape unscathed!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Sixth Young Master must be blessed by the gods if he can achieve such a feat."
All the officials spoke to comfort each other, but it was unclear what they were thinking in their hearts.
"Forget it, let him go!"
Brother Zheng sighed helplessly, then waved his hand and said:
"I'm tired today, let's all disperse!"
Brother Zheng has decided to go to the ancestral temple to pray so that his great son can return safely.
This guy is really annoying.
When he comes back, he says that he can't let this kid lead the army anymore. Who can handle it if he keeps doing this?
...
Little did Ying Yu know that Brother Zheng was gritting his teeth and waiting to deal with him.
At this time, he and Han Xin were making plans to lure the enemy deeper.
In just ten days, the Xiongnu had assembled an army of 100,000 troops.
And Lou Nan also became the new Shanyu as he wished.
At this time, the news that Touman Chanyu was still alive spread throughout the grassland.
Now the leaders of various ministries who were loyal to Touman could no longer sit still and put pressure on Lou Nan to send troops quickly.
Under pressure, Lou Nan had no choice but to take the initiative and launch an offensive.
One hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry were directly divided into three groups and slowly pressed towards the location of the Xiongnu Royal Court.
The decisive battle is about to begin.
The 20,000 Great Qin cavalry who had been recharging their strength for a long time and whose morale was high were also ready for battle.
Although there were hundreds of thousands of enemies, no one was afraid.
"By the way, have you arranged the small gifts for those Huns?"
Ying Yu asked casually.
"Don't worry, young master, we have already made preparations and are waiting for them to arrive."
Meng Tian responded with a smile on his face.
At this time, Lou Nan was not far from the location of the royal court.
It's just that he's not in a good mood.
The reason is because his father Touman is still alive.
The tribal leaders who were loyal to Touman, after learning that he was still alive, had the idea of deposing Lou Nan.
Some people have even suggested that Touman Chanyu is not dead, so the new Chanyu does not count.
Many tribal leaders even used this as an excuse to not listen to his orders at all.
In desperation, Lou Nan could only propose a decisive battle with the Qin army.
On the surface, he wanted to save his father Touman, but in fact, he wished that Qin Jun would get angry and kill his good father directly.
"Chanyu, no... it's not good, the front... the front..."
A Hun scout came on horseback, unable to speak clearly.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly?"
Lou Nan said angrily.
Looking at the panicked scout, I almost couldn't help but chop him down.
This shows how bad Lou Nan's mood was.
