Chapter 165: Da Yue Clan, the Donghu Invasion(1/2)

"Old sir, why don't you read it anymore? But you are not satisfied with this prince's "Three Character Classic"?"

In the hall of Yuxuan Pavilion, Ying Yu asked knowingly with a smile on his face.

When Huang Shigong heard this, he shook his head slightly:

"Your Highness's "Three Character Classic" may seem simple, but in fact it is every word of it. I dare not be dissatisfied.

I just read that teaching is not strict and teachers are lazy.

Reminds me of those scoundrels of mine."

A wry smile appeared on Huang Shitou's face.

He had a total of three disciples in his life.

Among them, Song Tianhao and Yang Yiyuan were mediocre in intelligence and had only modest achievements in carving skills.

As for the art of war, strategies, fortune calculations, etc., I can't even get started.

Although Zhang Liang has good qualifications, he always wants to rebel.

Maybe one day he will die.

I am quite old, so being implicated by him is not a big deal.

But wouldn’t it be a pity if no one could inherit this skill and it would disappear from the world?

Thinking of this, Huang Shigong sighed helplessly.

"Your Highness, General Han Xin is back."

While Huang Shigong was deep in thought, his attendant Qin Feng came in and reported.

"Bring Han Xin in."

Upon learning that Han Xin was back, a smile suddenly appeared on Ying Yu's face.

Soon Han Xin appeared in front of Ying Yu with a pretty woman.

"Han Xin, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ji...Jitao, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Ying Yu nodded and gave Han Xin a thumbs up without any trace.

It seems that Han Xin gained a lot from his return to Huaiyin this time.

This means that Miss Ji Tao has been captured.

"This is the hermit master Huangshi Gong Huang Lao."

"This is Huaiyin Han Xin."

Ying Yu introduced the two of them with a smile.

"Junior Han Xin, I have met Mr. Huang."

Han Xin behaved very respectfully.

In his opinion, someone who can be the guest of His Royal Highness is not a simple person.

Therefore, he didn't dare to ask for help and hurriedly greeted him.

"I'm just an old man from the countryside. General Han doesn't need to be polite."

Huang Shigong was shocked the first time he saw Han Xin.

He couldn't see Ying Yu's face.

But he could see the Han Xin in front of him.

This man's bones are unique and he is no ordinary person at first glance. He has a promising future.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Han Xin left.

Now that he has an official title, he will go to the palace to meet His Majesty the First Emperor after his vacation.

"Mr. Huang, I would like to ask you to serve as the vice president of the Royal Academy. What do you think?"

After Han Xin left, Ying Yu also directly stated his ultimate goal.

Now that a military saint like Huang Shigong appeared in front of him.

Naturally, Ying Yu couldn't let it go.

"I have heard of the Royal Academy.

I just don’t know if Your Highness built this academy to spread knowledge, or do you have other ideas?”

Huang Shigong pondered for a moment and then asked.

"What Mr. Huang said, since it is an academy, of course it is to spread knowledge."

"This prince established the Royal Academy for the purpose of establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of past saints, and creating peace for all generations."

When Huang Shigong heard this, his body suddenly shook and he looked at Ying Yu in disbelief.

After a long silence, he finally said: "The prince has lofty ambitions, I admire him."

"As for the appointment as the vice-president of the Royal Academy, can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"

Ying Yu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

...

Early the next morning, there was a court meeting at Qilin Hall.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian is reporting urgently."

"The Dayue clan united with Donghu to raise 500,000 troops to attack the former Xiongnu territory."

"General Meng Tian has led his troops into the grassland to provide support."

After Zhang Han finished speaking, a sound of exclamation suddenly sounded in the court hall.

Dayeshi and Donghu united?

You must know that the barbarians on the grassland are all cavalry.

What is the concept of half a million cavalry?

The total cavalry in the northern border of Great Qin is only about 30,000.

Although Ying Yu later destroyed the Xiongnu and obtained many war horses.

However, the total number of truly effective cavalry on the northern border is at most 50,000.

But they actually have half a million.

The Xiongnu were now the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and the Yuezhi and Donghu invaded, so they could not ignore them.

It's just that the gap between the cavalry is so huge, and there are no solid fortifications to defend in the grasslands.

If Meng Tian doesn't get it right this time, he's afraid he'll suffer a big loss.

"My dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"

On the throne, Brother Zheng asked expressionlessly.

These grassland barbarians dared to take the initiative to invade the territory of Daqin. In Brother Zheng's opinion, this was simply seeking death.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Dayue clan and the Donghu clan cannot provide 500,000 troops at all. The total number of young men from the two clans can only reach 300,000."

Han Xin came to the center of the hall and first bowed respectfully to the First Emperor.

Then he spoke loudly.

The officials were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Although 300,000 cavalry were many, they did not pose a threat to the Qin Dynasty.

At the same time, the long-lost system voice also sounded in Ying Yu's mind.

[Ding dong: An intrusion from a foreign enemy has been detected, and a series of missions to suppress the country have been issued! 】

【Mission 1: Drive out the foreigners! 】

[Task requirement: Defeat the invading enemy.]

[Task reward: unknown.]

[Task time limit: one year.]

[Friendly reminder: This task can be completed by the host himself or assigned to others. Please choose the host carefully.]

Ying Yu was stunned, but he didn't expect that he could assign others to complete it.

But after thinking about it, he still stood up:

"Father, the barbarians have invaded. Please ask me to lead troops to support General Meng Tian."

Although he took the initiative to ask for a fight, Ying Yu didn't have high expectations.

I guess Brother Zheng would not agree.
