Chapter 192: The inflated Meng Yi starts to commit suicide!
Ying Heng transferred Xiao He to the army to be responsible for logistics and transportation. Although Xiao He was not well known to the world, Ying Heng knew that he was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. With him in the rear, the supply of food and grass would be foolproof!
Upon learning of these deployments, Han Xin became excited, especially when he learned about the powerful potential of the new type of soldiers, his eyes sparkled with excitement!
With such elite troops, the tactical coordination will be extremely rich and cannot be compared with simple addition!
Perhaps, Prince Fusu's feat of defeating 100,000 Hun cavalry with only 100,000 infantry will actually become a reality!
Putting aside other things for now, just when Han Xin saw the sharpshooters, the golden spearmen, and those magical wooden oxen and flowing horses, he had already come up with no less than three strategies in his mind, which were enough to break through the siege and continuously transport food and grass to Meng Tian's formation.
In this way, the fate of the 300,000 troops on the northern border can be preserved.
However, how to completely eliminate the 100,000 Hun cavalry remains a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently.
But that’s for another day.
That day, after an in-depth discussion with Han Xin, Ying Heng decisively issued the order to go to war.
Although Qin Shihuang, Wang Ben, Wang Li and others were still worried that this action might be like hitting a rock with an egg.
Faced with the threat of the Huns, they were well aware of the safety of Prince Fusu, the life and death of Meng Tian and 300,000 frontier soldiers, and the well-being of the people of Qin, and they could not afford to hesitate.
Military orders are as heavy as mountains. No matter whether we can win or not, no matter how many people we can save or how many Huns we can destroy, we have to fight first and then plan our strategy!
At this moment, everything is decided by the Thirteenth Young Master. As a general, you can only obey his orders.
Even Ying Zheng could only do his best at this moment concerning national justice.
Fortunately, Xiao Shisan has brought him enough surprises recently.
Therefore, this time, he still chose to trust Xiao Shisan.
To save Fusu, to save the border troops, for the people of Daqin, and to sweep away the Huns!
He wishes to transform himself into a warrior on horseback and lead his army into battle!
The army set out, with Han Xin taking charge of the central army and controlling the overall tactical deployment.
The Jinyiwei, the elite guards who were temporarily transferred here and were the best at intelligence gathering in the world, served as scouts to help him fully understand the battlefield situation.
Although Han Xin had limited troops on this trip, he had the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Golden Spear Soldiers and the Divine Arrow Battalion, all of which were elite troops with extraordinary combat effectiveness.
If used properly, their power will be beyond the imagination of ordinary people. And Han Xin is the one who can maximize the potential of these arms!
As for Meng Yi, Ying Heng appointed him as his deputy and military supervisor, whose main responsibility was to rally the military's morale.
Especially for Wang Ben, Wang Li and Zhao Zheng, the three generals from the Qin mainland, the relationship between them needs to be reconciled.
The others were all summoned by the system, and their loyalty and execution ability to Ying Heng are beyond doubt.
Even if they were asked to lead a thousand people against tens of thousands of enemy troops, they would charge forward without hesitation.
But if it were Wang Ben and his two companions, they would weigh the cost of the battle, consider the probability of success, and even wonder whether they were dying in vain.
When Han Xin first arrived in Daqin, his prestige had not yet been established.
Therefore, Meng Yi, Ying Heng's confidant who holds a high position of power and is also Meng Tian's brother, was sent. He would certainly try his best to promote Ying Heng's plan on the battlefield to rescue Meng Tian.
That's exactly what happened.
After receiving the task, Meng Yi called Wang Ben and Wang Li, father and son, for a deep talk.
To resist foreign enemies, especially the Huns who had a deep hatred for the Qin Dynasty, the Meng and Wang families had to put aside their internal disputes and face the outside world together.
In response, Wang Ben did not say a word, but just stared at Meng Yi with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Brother, you better get through this level first.
When Wang Ben learned that Bixiao would join them in the Northern Expedition, he gained insight into who the real leader of this expedition was.
At the same time, he also had a premonition that Meng Yi's fate might not be smooth.
Sure enough, after Meng Yi finished talking with the father and son of the Wang family, he walked straight to Qin Shi Huang, patted his armored face with both hands, and said condescendingly: "Xiao Zhao, come to my tent tonight. I have something important to tell you."
Under the silver armor, Qin Shi Huang's eyes were as cold as ice, and he responded to Meng Yi with an equally cold voice: "Okay, I will go to Shang Qing's tent tonight and report in detail."
After reprimanding Qin Shi Huang, Meng Yi had already begun to imagine how to teach this general Zhao Zheng, who did not obey the Thirteenth Prince, a lesson in the military tent at night. It was really puzzling why the Thirteenth Prince wanted to promote Zhao Zheng, who had an unknown background and obviously lacked respect for the prince.
In order to maintain the dignity of the Thirteenth Prince, Meng Yi decided to let Zhao Zheng see tonight who the Great Qin Empire belongs to!
While thinking about how to give Qin Shihuang a warning, he glared at him and continued marching.
Dahei and Wang Ben pretended to be calm, looking straight ahead and keeping silent, as if they saw and heard nothing.
However, they were secretly delighted in their hearts, wondering whether Meng Yi could still greet the dawn of tomorrow and whether the position of Shangqing would be vacant in the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Ben did not gloat over his misfortune. After all, if it weren't for Meng Yi, he might have been the one to bear Bi Xiao's wrath.
Wang Li was still confused, not understanding why an ordinary Snow Dragon Cavalry General would be taken so seriously by his father, or rather, be too cautious?
Was my father too cautious in his attitude towards this Snow Dragon Cavalry General?
Looking at Shangqing Meng Yi, his attitude is much more natural! This is how a boss should treat his subordinates!
I wonder if the newly appointed Snow Dragon Cavalry General named Zhao will be more restrained and learn etiquette after tonight.
As night fell, Qin Shihuang, dressed in cloth and without a helmet, walked into Meng Yi's tent.
When the curtain was opened, Meng Yi was seen standing with his hands behind his back, facing outside the tent.
"Xiao Zhao? You're here?"
That subordinate was once very familiar to Qin Shihuang, but at this moment his voice carried an unexpected coldness.
When Meng Yi served the First Emperor, he always obeyed his orders, fawned on him, and helped him scold others.
Now that Meng Yi is so high and mighty, helping Xiao Shisan to deal with him, Qin Shihuang feels both familiar and unfamiliar.
Ugh--
Qin Shi Huang felt mixed emotions. When did this former, uh, subordinate become Xiao Shisan's loyal supporter?
He had repeatedly warned Meng Yi that a hundred years later, he must support Fusu to succeed to the throne.
Every time Meng Yi agreed solemnly and swore to heaven!
Otherwise, how could he easily send Fusu to Meng Tian?
Can the Meng family still be saved?
The First Emperor stared at Meng Yi's departing back, his thoughts surging like a tide.
Hearing Meng Yi's question, he responded in an icy tone: "Hmm?"
"Hey? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Subordinates should salute their superiors and address themselves as the junior general. Do you understand?!"
"That's right. How can a country boy like you understand the rules of the army, and how can you understand the etiquette of the court of the Great Qin?!"
"Today, I, Meng Yi, the chief of the Nine Ministers, will teach you the difference between respect and inferiority!"
"When subordinates meet their superiors, they must salute and address them as their subordinates!"
"even!"
"When you meet your direct supervisor, especially when he is in a bad mood, you should kneel down immediately!"
"Do you understand what this means?!"
Meng Yi's words were as deafening as thunder, and his lecture echoed in the tent.
