Chapter 189: Eight hundred miles in an emergency, the border is in danger, Fusu is in danger!
Ying Heng smiled calmly and said, "Very good. Since General Zhao is so determined and promised to give me a surprise on the day of my promotion, I will wait for good news!"

"I look forward to General Zhao's surprise. I won't be disappointed~!"

Ying Heng responded with a smile that showed everything was under control.

Qin Shi Huang responded coldly: "Don't worry, sir, the Thirteenth Prince!"

"I guarantee that this surprise will be something you will never forget!"

Ta-ta-

blah blah-

Suddenly, a team of galloping horses rushed out of the gate of Hangu Pass and headed straight towards Ying Heng.

"Eight hundred miles to go! Urgent military report!"

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

Ying Heng also turned his head to look over there. Qin Shihuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This crisis was safely overcome. As an emperor, why did he always feel a little aggrieved?

Tap, tap, tap, tap,
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and they galloped out, splashing mud and water everywhere. In just two breaths, they rushed in front of Ying Heng.

“Ouch!”

The Jinyiwei quickly pulled the reins of the horse, dismounted, walked quickly to Ying Heng, knelt on one knee, and presented a red lacquered letter with both hands.

At this time, the horse was soaked in sweat, with white mist coming out of its mouth and nose. It was obviously extremely tired. It seemed that it had completed its mission and could not hold on any longer.

The smile on Ying Heng's face quietly disappeared. He did not take the letter from the Jinyiwei, but stepped lightly towards the struggling horse, stretched out his hand to hold the horse's neck steadily, and injected a trace of pure true energy from the heavenly realm.

A breath of peaceful power flowed over, and the horse panted violently a few times, gradually steadied its breathing, and then leaned aside to recover its strength.

While everyone was confused, he saved the horse's life.

After completing this task, Ying Heng turned around to take the letter and started reading it, while instructing: "Give him some water to calm him down."

A Jinyiwei immediately handed over some water. While drinking, Ying Heng finished reading the brief contents of the letter:
[The Xiongnu bypassed the Great Wall and invaded Daqin. Meng Tian's border troops suffered heavy losses and many villages in the north were massacred! ]

"Humph!"

"Tell me the details of the battle!"

The letter is brief and only the sender can know the details.

At this moment, other generals gathered around, and seeing Ying Heng's stern expression and firm tone, they couldn't help but stand in awe.

"My lord!"

"The new leader of the Xiongnu, Maodun, rose suddenly this year. He conquered the Donghu in the east, annexed Loulan and other Western Regions in the west, and swept across the Hexi Corridor. Now he has unified the Western Regions and his national strength has increased dramatically!"

"I have heard recently that the power of the Qin Empire is increasing rapidly, and there are news about new crops. Maodun led his cavalry to break through the Hundred Thousand Mountains that no one has been able to cross for ten thousand years, went around the back of the Great Wall, and launched a surprise attack on General Meng Tian!"

"At the same time, the Xiongnu army is also feinting and attacking from the front of the Great Wall!"

"Meng Tian was unable to mobilize all the border troops at once, so he suffered a great defeat."

"Now, most of the Great Wall has been lost!"

"The millions of people protected within the Great Wall are now all exposed to the Xiongnu's iron hooves!"

"Two days ago, when I set out to deliver the letter, a small group of Huns had already penetrated into the civilian population and wreaked havoc."

The Jinyiwei drank the water and quickly reported the military situation.

Hearing this, the whole audience was shocked!
The First Emperor was particularly furious after hearing these words, and asked loudly: "Meng Tian will be defeated? How is it possible!?"

"Where is Fusu? Isn't Fusu commanding at the front line?" The First Emperor's emotions were disturbed by Ying Heng. Coupled with the current major crisis, he temporarily forgot his identity as an emperor and gave orders directly in the tone of the emperor.

At this moment, military intelligence was of vital importance. Although his words were abrupt, everyone was concerned about the war situation and no one noticed anything wrong.

However, the last words of the Embroidered Uniform Guard made the face of the First Emperor, who was wearing the silver armor, change drastically!
"Prince Fusu heard the news of His Majesty's death and was rushing back to Xianyang to attend the funeral. When he learned that the Xiongnu had invaded, he rushed to the northern border overnight."

"However, when General Meng Tian was defeated and half of the Great Wall was lost and he retreated to the northeastern border, Prince Fusu had not yet arrived at the battlefield."

"According to the White Tiger leader's speculation, when Prince Fusu returned to the northern border, he probably happened to see the Xiongnu winning a great victory and was cleaning up the battlefield."

"With only a few hundred guards around you, if you encounter the main force of the Xiongnu cavalry, I'm afraid your situation will be..."

The Jinyiwei's words stopped abruptly. After all, this was just speculation, not a proven fact.

However, everyone already had the answer in their hearts, especially the First Emperor. When he heard the news, a thunderbolt instantly exploded in his mind!
When the First Emperor learned that Fusu might be surrounded by the Xiongnu cavalry, his thoughts seemed to be violently hit!

Fusu, as the eldest son of the First Emperor, was always carefully cultivated as a successor.

Although the Thirteenth Emperor is now outstanding in all aspects and is more suitable to be the successor, no one can match the feelings that the First Emperor has for Fusu. After all, he has poured countless efforts into him.

Fusu's trip to the northern border to jointly manage frontier military affairs with Meng Tian was also an important arrangement for the First Emperor to train him.

At this moment, he suddenly heard that the Hun cavalry was invading on a large scale. Although the First Emperor was furious, he was not afraid.

Because he knew very well that the current Snow Dragon Cavalry was extremely powerful, and the Xiongnu cavalry that was once unable to contend with was now nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered in front of them.

Even when he heard that the Xiongnu had a brave Chanyu Maodun, who bypassed the Great Wall and raided the Qin Dynasty, suppressed Meng Tian, ​​and forced the Xiongnu cavalry to march straight to Xianyang, the First Emperor still remained calm.

With Qin's current national power and military strength, even without relying on the Great Wall, the Huns would not be its match in a head-on confrontation.

However, when he heard that the eldest son Fusu was in danger, he could no longer remain calm!

His breathing became rapid and the internal energy surged.

He wished he could immediately lead five hundred Snow Dragon Riders to rush to the northern border to rescue Fusu.

When Meng Yi heard the news about Fusu, he was extremely anxious.

Although he has decided to support the Thirteenth Prince, he has witnessed Fusu's growth throughout the whole process and the feelings are still there.

At this moment, Meng Yi also wanted to step forward.

After Ying Heng heard this, his eyes became even colder. Although Fusu was his competitor on the surface, he was also the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty.

This man can only be defeated by himself and must not fall into the hands of the Huns, otherwise it will be a shame for the Qin Dynasty.

What's more, if Ying Heng set his sights on the throne, Fusu would be unable to stop him.

However, he did not make a hasty decision, but calmly asked: "Besides Fusu, is there any other information?"

After hearing this, the Royal Guard took a breath and continued, "My Lord."

"Second is food and fodder!"

"The food supply in the North is extremely scarce!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Heng frowned.

“The 300,000 frontier troops in the north have been eating the best military rations from Qin in recent years. Although they are not as effective as new grains, they are also supplied with all the strength of Qin.

Not to mention that it's enough to sustain a year of war, but it shouldn't be a problem for these grains to last for half a year, right?"

"Why is there a shortage of food and fodder at the beginning of a war? Did the grain officer deduct some of the food?"
