In the vast history of China, countless heroes have emerged, and Meng Tian, ​​a general of the Qin Dynasty, is undoubtedly one of the brilliant legends.

He was not only an outstanding military commander, but also a warrior who dedicated his youth and blood to his country and people.

This hero, known in history as the "Border Guardian", and his outstanding contributions to the northern border.

"Meng Tian's ancestors were from Qi. His grandfather Meng Ao came to Qin from Qi and eventually became a senior minister of Qin."

"Meng Tian's father, Meng Wu, was a general of the Qin State. In the 23rd year of the reign of Qin Shihuang, Meng Wu and Wang Jian attacked the Chu State together, defeated the Chu army, and killed Xiang Yan."

"The following year, Meng Wu attacked Chu again and captured the King of Chu."

"Meng Tian worked as a recorder of prison cases in his early years and was responsible for managing relevant documents and prison case files."

"In the 21st year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent Li Xin and Meng Tian to lead 200,000 men to attack the State of Chu."

"The following year, Li Xin attacked Pingyu and Meng Tian attacked Qinyi, defeating the Chu army."

"Li Xin then attacked Yanying again. After conquering the city, Li Xin led his troops westward to Chengfu to join Meng Tian's troops."

"At this time, the Chu army took the opportunity to follow behind, and did not rest for three days and three nights. When they counterattacked, they defeated Li Xin's army, attacked the two camps of the Qin army, and killed seven captains. Li Xin led the remnants to flee back to Qin."

"In the 26th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, Meng Tian led his army to attack the State of Qi and defeated the Qi army. Qin Shi Huang then appointed him as the Internal History official."

"In the 32nd year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, Emperor Qin Shi Huang toured the northern border."

"When Qin Shi Huang returned to Xianyang, Lu Sheng, the man from Yan whom he had sent out to look for the immortal, also returned."

"When Lu Sheng reported to Qin Shi Huang, he took the opportunity to present the copied book, which said that it was the Hu who destroyed the Qin Dynasty."

"Therefore, Qin Shi Huang sent Meng Tian to lead 300,000 soldiers to the north to attack the Hu people and seize the land south of the Yellow River."

"Meng Tian led his army northward to drive out the Xiongnu and recapture the area south of the Yellow River. He then set up 44 counties in the area."

"At the same time, Meng Tian presided over the construction of the Great Wall to control the dangerous fortresses."

"The Great Wall stretches from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east, stretching for more than 10,000 miles."

"Meng Tian then led his troops across the Yellow River, occupied Yangshan, and marched northward."

"Finally, Meng Tian led his army to stay in Shangjun permanently, usually camping in the wild, sleeping in the open air for more than ten years, and his reputation had already intimidated the Xiongnu."

Su Shi: Meng Tian was born into a prominent military family and received a good military education since childhood.

His father Meng Ao was a famous general of the Qin Dynasty and was highly regarded by King Zhao of Qin.

Meng Tian's intelligence and bravery enabled him to get many opportunities to fight when he was young.

In the battles with the Huns, he not only demonstrated his outstanding ability in commanding troops, but also knew how to skillfully use terrain and military force to win victory many times.

Imagine that at that time, the northern border was raging with sandstorms and biting cold, and the Hun cavalry were wandering like ghosts, posing a huge threat to the Qin Dynasty.

In such an environment, Meng Tian led his army like an indestructible shield to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

Whenever he swung the sword in his hand, the soldiers would rush forward bravely and kill the enemy bravely like a ignited flame.

In order to better resist the invasion of the Huns, Qin Shihuang ordered the construction of the Great Wall, and Meng Tian was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this great project.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians dug soil, moved stones and built walls in the desolate north, braving the biting cold wind. The scene was like an epic feat.

Do you know that every brick of the Great Wall was built with our sweat and tears?

Meng Tian often told the soldiers that he inspired everyone with his actions, and even told jokes to everyone during breaks to ease the tense atmosphere.

He often said that if the Huns dared to come, we would let them know that the Great Wall is not just a wall, but also a symbol of our unity!
After several years of hard work, the Great Wall finally rose from the ground under the command of Meng Tian.

It winds between the mountains like a giant dragon, guarding the northern border of the Qin Dynasty.

The completion of the Great Wall was not only a physical defense, but also a morale boost, giving the soldiers tremendous confidence.

Every brick and stone carries their hopes and dreams, and the Great Wall has become a solid fortress for them to defend against foreign enemies.

After the Great Wall was completed, Meng Tian did not stop.

He still led his troops to patrol the border, ready to respond to Hun raids at any time.

Whenever night falls and the moonlight shines on the Great Wall, Meng Tian always stands on the wall and looks into the distance.

He knew that what he was carrying on his shoulders was not only the safety of the country, but also the hopes of countless people.

Once, the Hun cavalry suddenly attacked, and Meng Tian commanded his troops to fight without hesitation.

He rushed to the front like a lion, waving his sword and leading the soldiers to fight bravely.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the soldiers' shouts were deafening, as if even the stars in the sky were cheering for them.

Meng Tian’s roar resounded through the sky, inspiring every soldier.

Under his command, the soldiers worked together and finally successfully repelled the invasion of the Huns and defended the security of the border.

Meng Tian's bravery and decisiveness made his name known across the border and he became a hero in the hearts of countless soldiers.

Meng Tian's loyalty and bravery made great contributions to the stability of the Qin Dynasty's borders. He was not only a general, but also a hero in the hearts of countless people. The construction of the Great Wall and his personal heroic deeds have become a legend passed down through the ages.

Throughout the long river of history, Meng Tian's name is closely linked to the Great Wall.

Whenever people stand on the Great Wall and look at the endless mountains, they will think of this general who fought tirelessly for the country.

He used his life and blood to compose an ode to loyalty and dedication.

His story has inspired countless people in later generations and has become a symbol of bravery and dedication.

"In the 35th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered Meng Tian to open the road from Jiuyuan to Yunyang."

"This road is 1,800 miles long, cutting through mountains and filling up valleys. It took several years to build and it's still not finished."

"In the same year, Fusu advised against burying the Confucian scholars, which angered Qin Shi Huang, so he was sent to Shangjun to supervise Meng Tian's army."

"In the winter of the 37th year of the Emperor's reign, the Emperor went out on a tour of Kuaiji. He suddenly became ill and died before he reached Shaqiu."

"Zhao Gao, Prime Minister Li Si, and Prince Hu Hai secretly planned to block the news of the Emperor's death and make Hu Hai the crown prince."

"After Hu Hai became the crown prince, he wanted to kill Prince Fusu and Meng Tian."

"So Hu Hai sent out messengers to fabricate their crimes." "After Fusu received the imperial edict, he was very sad and went into the inner room crying, intending to commit suicide to apologize."

"Although Meng Tian said this, Fusu still committed suicide first because the messenger kept urging him."

"But Meng Tian refused to confess his guilt and committed suicide, so the messenger handed him over to the officials for trial and imprisonment in Yang Zhou."

"When Hu Hai heard about Fusu's death, he wanted to release Meng Tian."

"After Hu Hai ascended the throne and became the second emperor, because Zhao Gao slandered the Meng family all day long and collected evidence of their crimes, Hu Hai eventually wanted to kill the Meng Tian brothers."

"Hu Hai first sent people to Dai County to kill Meng Yi, and then sent messengers to Yang Zhou to order Meng Tian to commit suicide."

"After the envoy stated his purpose, he refused to tell Hu Hai what Meng Tian said."

"Meng Tian could only ask the heavens for the reason in grief, and attributed his sin to the fact that he had cut off the veins of the earth when building the Great Wall, and then he swallowed poison and committed suicide."

Du Fu: Meng Tian was born into a family of military generals. His grandfather Meng Ao and father Meng Wu were both famous generals of the Qin State. They made great contributions to Qin's unification of the six kingdoms.

Influenced by such a family environment, Meng Tian showed a strong interest and talent in military affairs since he was a child. He had great ambitions and was eager to make achievements on the battlefield and serve his country.

Qin Shi Huang sent Li Xin and Meng Tian to lead 200,000 troops to attack the State of Chu.

At first, Meng Tian attacked Qinyi and defeated the Chu army, demonstrating his outstanding military talent.

However, after joining forces with Li Xin, the Chu army took advantage of the Qin army's unpreparedness, followed and counterattacked, and defeated Li Xin's army, causing heavy losses to the Qin army.

Although this defeat was a setback for Meng Tian, ​​he decisively and quickly withdrew his troops when he was defeated, reducing the casualties of the Qin army. This move also indirectly reflected that he possessed a certain military wisdom and adaptability.

Qin Shihuang sent Meng Tian to follow General Wang Jian's son Wang Ben to attack the State of Qi.

In this battle, Meng Tian fully demonstrated his military talents, commanded the army with confidence, defeated the Qi army, captured King Jian of Qi, and successfully destroyed the State of Qi.

Thanks to this military achievement, Meng Tian was granted the position of Internal History by Qin Shi Huang, and officially emerged on the political and military stage of Qin, laying the foundation for taking on more important missions in the future.

After the Qin Dynasty completed its unification, the Huns in the north became a major threat to the Qin Dynasty.

As a nomadic people, the Xiongnu had highly mobile cavalry and often invaded the Qin Dynasty's borders, burning, killing and looting. This posed a great threat to the lives and property of people living along the border and also seriously affected the stability of the Qin Dynasty's rule.

Qin Shihuang knew very well that if the Huns problem was not solved, the country would not be able to maintain long-term stability. Therefore, he turned his attention to Meng Tian, ​​appointed him as the general, and led an army of 300,000 to the north to attack the Huns.

Meng Tian knew that the task was arduous, but he was not afraid. Relying on his in-depth understanding of the Huns' tactics and his own outstanding military talents, he began to carefully prepare for the war.

He studied the combat characteristics of the Xiongnu in depth and learned that the Xiongnu cavalry was good at long-distance raids and field combat and had extremely strong mobility, while the Qin army was mainly composed of infantry and charioteers and was at a disadvantage in terms of mobility.

In response to this situation, Meng Tian decided to adopt flexible and changeable tactics to strengthen the Qin army's cavalry construction and improve the army's mobility.

After the battle started, Meng Tian personally led his army out of Shangjun, out of the Great Wall to the north, and directly into the heartland of the Xiongnu.

He skillfully used roundabout tactics to avoid the frontal charge of the Hun cavalry. He first sent out a small group of troops to pretend to retreat, luring the Hun cavalry to pursue him. Then, while their formation was in disarray, he sent out elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack from the flank to disrupt the Hun's formation.

At the same time, he also commanded the infantry and charioteers to work closely together to form a solid line of defense to prevent the Huns from breaking through.

In this fierce battle, Meng Tian led the charge and boosted the morale of the Qin army.

Under his leadership, the Qin army soldiers fought bravely and their shouts shook the earth.

After many fierce battles, the Qin army led by Meng Tian finally achieved a major victory and successfully recovered Henan.

The Xiongnu army suffered heavy losses and was severely damaged. It was forced to flee northward and escape to the far northern desert.

After this, the Hu people dared not go south to graze their horses, and the scholars dared not bend their bows to complain. The northern border of the Qin Dynasty enjoyed temporary peace.

Meng Tian's victory in defeating the Huns in the north not only demonstrated his extraordinary military wisdom and courage, but also made an important contribution to the stability and development of the Qin Dynasty, and became a classic example in history of resisting foreign invasion.

After Meng Tian successfully repelled the Huns, Qin Shihuang knew that the defense problem of the northern border still needed to be thoroughly resolved.

In order to build a solid line of defense and eliminate the threat of the Huns forever, Qin Shihuang ordered the construction of the Great Wall and appointed Meng Tian to be in charge of this major project.

After receiving the task, Meng Tian felt that the responsibility was heavy.

He personally led the army and a large number of civilians to conduct field surveys along the northern border and carefully planned the direction and layout of the Great Wall.

During the construction process, Meng Tian fully utilized his wisdom and talents and cleverly utilized the terrain.

He connected the original old Great Walls of Qin, Zhao and Yan, and reinforced and expanded them to make it a complete defense system.

The construction of the Great Wall was a massive project that consumed enormous amounts of manpower, material and financial resources.

In order to transport construction materials, countless laborers carried them on their shoulders and backs, and struggled forward among the mountains and ridges.

They worked day and night without fear of hardship, and some even sacrificed their lives for it.

Meng Tian always stayed at the front line of the project, personally directing and supervising the progress and quality of the project.

He has strict requirements for every link and does not allow any negligence.

Thanks to his efforts, the construction of the Great Wall proceeded smoothly.

After years of hard work, the Great Wall was finally completed.

The Great Wall, which starts from Lintao in the west and ends at Liaodong in the east, winds like a giant dragon among the mountains in the north, becoming a solid line of defense against the invasion of the Huns.

The completion of the Great Wall not only effectively prevented the Huns' southward invasion and protected the lives and property of people in border areas, but also created favorable conditions for the stability and development of the Qin Dynasty.

The existence of the Great Wall greatly changed the military strategic landscape at that time.

Although the Hun cavalry was highly mobile, it was difficult for them to easily break through a solid defense line like the Great Wall.

They had to change their previous intrusion patterns, and the threat to the Qin Dynasty's borders was greatly reduced.

At the same time, the construction of the Great Wall also promoted economic, cultural exchanges and ethnic integration between the north and south of the Great Wall.

Under the protection of the Great Wall, agricultural production in border areas has developed and commercial trade has become increasingly prosperous.

During the long-term garrison in the border areas, Meng Tian not only achieved outstanding achievements in military and national defense construction, but also left a strong mark in the cultural field with his improved brush.

At that time, military situation was urgent and written exchanges were frequent, but the existing writing tools and writing methods were inefficient and could not meet actual needs.

Meng Tian knew the importance of written records for military command and information transmission, so he decided to improve writing tools. (End of this chapter)
