Chapter 880 Servant Army

The little prince's reception satisfied everyone. After all, he provided the best food and wine, and even vacated his own palace.

The tired Qin soldiers relaxed and began to drink and eat, and did not stop until night.

Cao Shen looked at the many drunken Qin soldiers and couldn't help but shook his head and said to Zhi beside him,

"You have to work hard tonight and lead the soldiers to guard the place all night."

Although there are almost no forces here that can pose a threat to the Qin army, this kind of vigilance cannot be relaxed. The other Qin armies are no longer reliable and can only rely on each other.

Zhi nodded without any hesitation, then took the order and left.

Soon he took people to the highest place on the outskirts of the palace to check the situation of the entire palace. If there were any changes, he could give a warning and counterattack as soon as possible.

After arranging the manpower, he also joined the patrol.

Soon, night fell and the temperature gradually cooled down.

At this time, a burly and powerful commander of the Qin Army walked up to Zhi and said,

"Sir, let me patrol here while you go and rest."

Zhi smiled at this time and said,

"There are no sons in the army, only centurions. As a member of the Meng family, I naturally have to abide by such rules."

He was naturally Meng Zhi, and he started out as an ordinary Qin soldier like everyone else at the Great Wall.

But his proficiency in bow and horse quickly improved.

Later, he learned from Meng Tian that when the Qin Dynasty wanted to send cavalry to raid the Qiang and Yuezhi grasslands, he secretly joined the cavalry.

After arriving all the way here, he is now a solid centurion who has been promoted through military service.

Moreover, the merits are not worth it. After returning, I will definitely be able to reach a thousand generals!

This promotion speed is also extremely fast.

Hearing this, Shi Chang couldn't help but show an approving look.

Although the other party is directly related to the Meng family, he has almost no privileges and starts from the bottom step by step.

Promotion is also based on solid military merit.

Not bad indeed.

Of course, I say almost none because he was sent to protect the other party, and he was not the only one.

Otherwise, it would have been such a long raid and countless chaotic battles.

There is really no guarantee that the opponent will survive until now. On the battlefield, a pit or a stray arrow can kill a person.

Not to mention that the other party also has a childhood education from the Meng family, and is not comparable to ordinary people in all aspects.

Real ordinary people are just like him. Only when they are in their prime of life can they become a leader. It takes a little luck to reach the position of centurion.

Although the commander sighed in his heart, he still had to persuade him, because the other party's status was countless times more noble than theirs.

When he was about to speak, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the side. He immediately looked over with great vigilance and found that the little prince was walking over with several attendants and an interpreter.

"General, I've asked someone to prepare some hot soup and food for you."

Meng Zhi waved his hand at this time and said with a bit of seriousness,

"The army is not allowed to enjoy it while on duty. The prince will just put it aside for now."

"But it will get cold soon, you..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Meng Zhi said directly,

"Military rules cannot be broken, just leave them alone."

Hearing this, the little prince didn't mind at all, but showed an expression of admiration.

No wonder these Qin troops can be so powerful.

After the little prince put down the things, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he hesitated and seemed to be hesitating for something.

Meng Zhi took the initiative to ask at this time,

"Is there anything else, prince?"

The little prince seemed to have decided something at this time. He took a few steps closer to Meng Zhi, and then said with great sincerity,

"General, as you said before, this city is now a border town of Da Qin, so the people in the city are also the people of Da Qin."

"I heard that the people of Great Qin will receive preferential treatment, and we hope so too."

Hearing this, Meng Zhi couldn't help but smile and said,

"The little prince is indeed thoughtful and actually understands this."

"It's just that I don't understand it completely. Although this city is now a border town of Da Qin, it is not that easy to become a subject of Da Qin."

Speaking of this, Meng Zhi said with a bit of pride,

"If outsiders want to become true people of Great Qin, they must shed their blood for Great Qin! Only after three generations can they become true people of Great Qin."

This rule was not set by him, but was proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince after conquering the grassland.

He also felt there was no problem.

But faced with such harsh conditions, the little prince was not worried but happy. He said directly,

"So, please allow me and my subjects to join the Qin army. We are willing to bleed and serve for the Qin Dynasty!"

That's what he came for.

Meng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party had already had such a plan.

After thinking about it, he did not refuse directly. They were far away from the mainland of Daqin, and it was extremely difficult to replenish supplies and transport the soldiers, so they could only use local materials.

Recruiting some local servants is also a good choice. Of course, he cannot make the decision directly on this matter and needs to discuss it with Cao Shen.

So back,

"The general is aware of this matter and will give you a reply later."

The little prince immediately nodded happily. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly there was a burst of noise from far outside the city. Soon an attendant staggered over and said hurriedly,

"The prince is not well. There are many people fleeing outside the city. They also say that there are Huns chasing behind them."

The little prince's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly explained the situation to Meng Zhi beside him.

Meng Zhi didn't panic at all when he heard this, but returned confidently and calmly,

"It doesn't matter, there is my Great Qin flag on top of the city."

Seeing this scene, the little prince was still a little hard to understand. There was a team of cavalry to scare off the Huns before, but now could he do it with just a flag?

But soon another attendant came over and said with surprise and joy,

"Prince, those Huns have retreated."

Hearing this, the little prince glanced at Meng Zhi in disbelief, and then left, but he had already made up his mind. As long as the entire clan met the conditions, they would all join the Qin Army!

After the little prince bowed and left again, Meng Zhi resumed his patrol.

At this time, on the other side, Cao Shen, who was writing a military report to His Highness the Crown Prince, also received a message from the Qin army, but he was not too worried. The Huns now did not dare to fight the Qin army.

Moreover, the other party's plunder is beneficial to their rule.

The only thing he worried about was Liu Bang's hidden thoughts.

These preparations are made for prevention.

Thinking of this, Cao Shen couldn't help but look at the direction of Da Qin and said to himself,

"Pei Gong, Pei Gong, don't be confused."

After sighing for a moment, Cao Shen continued to write the military report. He wanted to tell His Royal Highness the information he had obtained these days as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, there were fast horses heading in the direction of Da Qin.

Time flies by, and more than ten days later, the Xianyang Palace of Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Lang was reading a letter with joy. After reading it, he said to the messenger on the side,

"Tell Brother Hai that you did a good job. No matter how many silver mines are found on that island, dig them back for me!"
