Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 49
Guan Ying didn't dare to say anything about his father's arrangement, and he was also willing to be with Xiang Yu and others.

Outside the city of Shangjun, the Qin army camp.

Since Meng Tian led the 20 Qin army to Shangjun, he began to perform his duties. First, he sent a large number of scouts into the grassland.Then, he discussed with Ying Quan, the person in charge of the northwestern part of the Black Ice Terrace, and asked many people from the Black Ice Terrace to go to the grasslands to do business with the Huns, and to spy on information by the way.

After Mengtian finished these things, Yingzheng issued an edict and ordered Mengtian to supervise the political affairs of Shangjun and Jiuyuan counties, and to control nearly 30 soldiers and horses in the two counties.

"General! The scouts heading north are back!" Deputy General Su Jiao said to Meng Tian who was handling official duties.

"What? Why so fast?" Meng Tian was very puzzled, why did the scouts come back so quickly, he couldn't figure it out and said, "Call them in!"

"Here!" Su Jiao bowed his hands to accept the order, and shouted inside the big tent: "The general has orders! Let the scouts come in!"

Soon, the two scouts outside the tent entered the tent.

"General!"

"Well! Don't be too polite!" Meng Tian looked at the two scouts, who were the ones he sent out, and asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"General! We originally planned to go deep into the grassland by detour to spy on the information of the Huns! Unexpectedly, we found a pair of sentry horses of the Huns when we arrived at Wuquan!"

"Afterwards, my brothers and I decided to go and find out if this pair of Huns guards acted alone, or if there were other Huns!"

"Avoiding this sentry cavalry and several other Hun sentry scouts, we sneaked into the center surrounded by sentry cavalry! Behind a small slope, we saw a Hun camp with at least 10 people!"

"I didn't dare to be careless, so I personally sneaked into the Huns' camp to spy on the military situation. In the Huns' camp, I learned that there were [-] Huns cavalry in this camp, and also knew that it was the Huns alone. Utoman's vanguard!"

"Touman gathered all the Xiongnu tribes on the eastern grassland and led a total of 30 cavalry to the south! The more than [-] Hun cavalry in the east were led by Touman's Zuo Xianwang, Moernan, to guard against Donghu's counterattack and attack!"

"After the subordinate found out the information, he came out again and joined the headquarters and hurried back to report to the general!" Qin Dun, the dark-skinned and robust scout centurion on the left, talked about the information he had found, and what he said At that time, both Su Jiao and Meng Tian felt a sense of danger.

After Qin Dun finished speaking, Luo Yi, another scout centurion who came in, knelt on the ground and said, "General! Please send troops to avenge my brothers!"

"Have you met the Huns?" Meng Tian was immediately frightened when he heard that, he thought it was the Huns who had invaded Jiuyuan County.

"No! After I led my troops to replenish supplies from Jiuyuan City, I headed to the Linhe camp, where I was going to replenish some food and water so that I could enter the grassland!"

"When I arrived at Linhe, I was going to go in with the general's warrant to prepare some food, grass and water for the school lieutenant Xu Ye of the Linhe Camp. But unexpectedly, I was ambushed by Xu Ye, and more than 80 of the hundreds of brothers under my tent died in battle, leaving only the staff. Xia and more than ten people escaped successfully!"

"General! Xu Ye has betrayed the country!" Luo Yi cried bitterly when he thought of his dead brother, and then expressed his guess.

"What?" Meng Tian was shocked!Xu Ye is the direct bloodline of the Xu family, a big family in Longxi County, and this Xu family is an old Qin clan with pure blood.In Meng Tian's heart, Xu Ye is a person who will never surrender to the enemy and treason!But now the accusation of his most trusted scout centurion, Luo Yi, and the death of more than [-] elite scouts of the Qin army all showed that Xu Ye's rebellion was true.

For a moment, Meng Tian didn't know what to do!Seeing that Meng Tian didn't know what to say, Su Jiao who was at the side saw that Meng Tian didn't know what to say. Although he was shocked, he also knew that he wanted to stop the news from spreading in the army. Sheng Zhang! This Xu Ye is treasonous, I am afraid that there must be spies in the army! So after the spies are caught, I will announce the news of Xu Ye’s treason to the whole army! But before that, I don’t want to hear gossip in the army! You Do you understand?"

"I understand! I will definitely not leak it, and I will guarantee that my brothers will not leak it!" Luo Yi immediately clapped his hands and made a promise.

Meng Tian came back to his senses and saw that Qin Dun had heard the whole process, so he stared at him and asked, "Qin Baijiang, what about you?"

"Under his post, he will keep his mouth shut! Please rest assured, General!" How could Qin Dun not know the consequences of this leak, and immediately bowed his hands.

"En!" Meng Tian waved his hand: "Then let's go down!"

"Here!"

Seeing that the two had left the tent, Su Jiao cupped his hands and asked, "General, do you want Heibingtai to investigate this matter?"

"I'm afraid things are not that simple! The head of the Black Ice Terrace, Ying Quan, hasn't seen me for a long time. Every time, a little person from the Black Ice Terrace sends information! I'm afraid!" Meng Tian was about to agree, but he thought of Ying Quan again. I haven't come to see myself for several months, and said after thinking about it.

"That!" Su Jiao didn't dare to think deeply, he just thought about it for a while and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Send Qin Dun to lead five hundred cavalry and take my letter to Xianyang! One is to ask His Majesty for more troops; the other is to ask the lieutenant of the state and the prime minister for food, grass and enough ordnance; the third is!" Meng Tian rolled his eyes. Turn, he said.

"Here!" Su Jiao didn't have to think about it, the third point was to explain the matter to the emperor, and the emperor had to send Anbu to assist.

Su Jiao, who was about to go out to send orders, was stopped by Meng Tian, ​​and then Meng Tian issued a series of orders.

"Order! Order Shejian's troops to go to Jiuyuan City and take over all the county soldiers in the hands of Jiuyuan County Captain Xia Bao! And closely monitor Linhe Camp and other places in Jiuyuan County!"

"Order! All the scout battalions are dispatched! Monitor Jiuyuan County, Beidi County, and Shang County, and closely monitor the Linhe Camp and the camp where the Huns are stationed! If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"

"Order! Commander Zuo Xuan of Shangjun commanded [-] soldiers from Shangjun to Jiuyuan with the army, and Meng Zhe and Meng Su ordered the troops to garrison Shangjun!"

"Order! Each battalion receives enough food and grass for three months to prevent accidents!"

"Order! Send the soldiers and horses of Meng Xing's troops to guard the supply camp and supervise the supply camp!"

"Order! The captains and school captains of all ministries will come to the big tent tomorrow to listen to the instructions, and the day after tomorrow they will leave the camp and go to Jiuyuan!"

Su Jiao sent people to deliver Meng Tian's series of orders, and the entire Qin Army camp and even the entire Shang County were mobilized.

Xianyang, Imperial Palace, Taixue Hall.

"Brother Ziyu! I don't know if I might compete with you?" The young master stopped Xiang Yu after Dr. Shu Suntong announced that the get out of class was over.

Li You got his father's warning not to get too close to the young masters, so he didn't want Xiang Yu to get too close to the young masters, so he said, "Mr. Jianglu, Zilie and I. Ziyu still has something to do! I'm afraid Ziyu won't be able to compete with you, let's try another day!"
