Chapter 169: Is It the King's Land in the Whole World?
Listening to the spy's report, Meng Tian felt that he heard it wrong.
Asked the spies who had arrived,
"Can you say that again!"
The spy said loudly,
"General, Centurion Commander Zhao Lang, defeated thousands of enemy troops and captured over a hundred of them."
Meng Tian was stunned again.
He sent spies out, not just to scout out the enemy.
He even wanted to find Zhao Lang and his group ahead of time, and then bring Hu Hai back.
It's just that outside of the Great Wall today, it can be said that there is still a wilderness.
It is almost impossible to find these twenty or so people on this land.
That's why he sent out the army.
Of course, he wasn't that worried. Judging from his previous performance, this Zhao Lang was still young.
But not a reckless person.
Facing the big camp of the Huns, the only way to save people is to sneak attack at night.
According to his calculation, if he traveled overnight and scouted overnight, he might not be able to launch until the third night.
At that time, his army had already arrived.
Hu Hai is also safe.
As for whether those merchants will be killed by the Huns, this is not within the scope of Meng Tian's consideration.
But he never thought that Zhao Lang would lead twenty people to defeat him in one fell swoop!
how can that be!
Think about it in his own shoes, even if it is himself, with twenty elite personal guards.
I dare not say that thousands of Huns were defeated!
"How do they do it?"
Meng Tian couldn't help asking directly.
just this question,
No one can answer.
Meng Tian looked at the generals who were already shocked and confused.
Sighing slightly, Daqin was like a cloud earlier.
But now the new generation doesn't have any outstanding generals.
Immediately said to the spies,
"Where are they?"
The spies return,
"Just tens of miles ahead."
Meng Tian nodded and said,
"Order the army to stop, set up camp in place, and prepare to return."
"You guys come with me."
The Huns have been defeated, and these pawns are useless.
I can only hope that the cavalry arranged in advance can kill and injure as many routs as possible.
After finishing speaking, Meng Tian was about to ride his horse and set off, but was pulled by a bearded man beside him, and said with a bit of worry,
"General, you'd better stay in the camp, I'll go there later, in case there is a fraud."
Meng Tian smiled at this time,
"These Huns and barbarians are also worthy of tricks?"
After finishing speaking, he clamped his horse's belly and ran forward.
He was still worried about Hu Hai.
The bearded man could only sigh, and then said to his subordinates,
"Camp in place."
Then followed.
Soon, all Qin troops stopped in place and prepared to set up camp.
At this time, Fusu and the others in the Qin army were a little puzzled when they heard the order, why did they stop suddenly?
"What happened in front? Didn't you say to fight the Huns?"
Fusu found a familiar Qin Jun and asked.
Qin Jun returned very excitedly,
"I heard that he is the leader, and led his men to defeat the Huns!"
"Break it?!"
Fusu froze on the spot,
"how can that be!"
During these two days of marching, following Meng Tian's side, he also roughly understood the situation.
The Xiongnu and Hu people gathered nearly thousands of people, otherwise they would not have dispatched a large army.
But now it is said that these thousands of people were defeated by more than 20 people from Zhao Lang?
Gao was also dumbfounded.
Ying Yinman was even more incredulous,
"Is he actually so powerful?"
At this time, Meng Tian led the people galloping all the way.
Not long after, I saw a long queue.
Meng Tian even clamped his horse's belly and accelerated his speed.
All the way to the front of this team.
When Meng Tian saw Hu Hai rushing back and forth in the team, his heart immediately settled down.
At this time, the others rushed to follow, and then stood in front of Meng Tian.
Suddenly the scene was a little chaotic.
When Zhao Lang saw these people, he was slightly startled.
He knew that the bearded man would be alarmed, but he didn't expect that even Meng Tian would come!
Taking advantage of the other party's confusion, he whispered to Li Shang beside him,
"Remember what I said before, don't reveal your secrets, or we will run in vain this time."
Then he handed the weapon in his hand to Li Shang to put it away, and rode forward by himself.
Li Shang looked at Zhao Lang's back with a strange expression. He never expected that the other party could not only fight and kill, but also have such a small mind.
Soon, Zhao Lang was in front of Big Beard,
Immediately saluted,
"Meet the general!"
Meng Tian looked at the general in front of him with some dissatisfaction.
A group of thousands of generals, tens of thousands of generals, in terms of character, they are not as strong as a centurion!
How does this not make him angry?
"What are you doing in my way? Get out of the way!"
At this time, the bearded people stepped aside.
If you are scolded, you will be scolded, but there are certain gestures that they must do.
Meng Tian looked at Zhao Lang who was covered in blood and burn marks, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of emotion and satisfaction in his heart.
But his face was serious, and he said,
"Zhao Lang! You are guilty of sending troops to save people privately!"
Hearing this, all the generals around couldn't help but glanced at each other.
They knew that Zhao Lang wouldn't be punished for just relying on the two words of saving people.
As long as Zhao Lang is not stupid and obediently admits his mistake, the matter will be over.
Otherwise, the charge of sending troops without authorization is enough to lose his head!
The bearded man's heart brightened even more. Sure enough, this Zhao Lang's identity was unusual.
Zhao Lang's heart trembled, and he replied loudly,
"The end will not be known!"
Suddenly, everyone was taken aback.
No steps down? Still a stupefied young man?
Meng Tian even raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice,
"Zhao Lang! You sent troops privately! How dare you argue!"
"Did you really think that this general wouldn't punish you if you made military achievements?"
Meng Tian spoke harshly, but in his heart he appreciated it a little more.
With more than 20 people, they defeated thousands of people and captured more than a hundred enemies!
Of course there is arrogant capital!
It's not good to be sophisticated.
This is the high-spirited boy!
But the more so, the more he has to temper it.
Anyway, Zhao Lang is still young, so he has plenty of time.
Zhao Lang returned,
"Back to the general, the last general received a request for help from the Great Qin Caravan, so he led the troops to fight. How can you say that he sent troops privately!"
Meng Tian snorted and said,
"The Qin Army does have the duty to protect the people of Daqin, but you have crossed the Great Wall and crossed the border privately, so what is there to argue about?"
Zhao Lang's expression turned serious, and he returned,
"Great general, the last general has heard that there is no king in the world!"
"Even outside the Great Wall, it is also my Great Qin's land. It's just that the troops are temporarily insufficient and have not occupied it. How can it be said that it is a battle on the scene?"
"The people of Daqin were attacked on the land of Daqin, of course the last general has to save them! What is the crime!"
Hearing this, Meng Tian was stunned.
