Meng Ao came in, wearing armor and high in fighting spirit.
Meng Ao was also recruited by Zhao Huaizhong to arrange something.
"General Meng, please be patient and sit down." After Zhao Huaizhong finished speaking, Meng Ao sat on his lower left hand.
Later, Lian Po, who had white beard and hair but was walking as fast as flying, followed the chamberlain in with excitement on his face.
"Your Majesty, is there a battle to be fought?"
Lian Po also came in armor, as if he couldn't wait and was ready for battle in advance.
Before Zhao Huaizhong spoke, Meng Ao spoke first: "If there is a battle, it won't be your turn to fight Lian Po."
Lian Po looked at Meng Ao, then at Zhao Huaizhong, and suppressed his silence. He thought that if there is a war, it will be fine. Since I came to Qin, I have not made any achievements and my footing is unstable. It is also appropriate to be questioned. I will not argue with him first, and wait.
I'll settle the score with him later.
He asked: "Your Majesty, is there a battle to be fought?"
Zhao Huaizhong nodded: "The Huns want to invade the country. I want to send General Lianpo to meet the enemy. Can the general be sure?"
Lian Po did not answer and asked instead: "How many enemies are coming from the Huns? What is the route of their march? How much food and supplies can your Majesty give me?"
"The enemy came in two groups, including 50,000 rangers, plus other auxiliary troops guarding food and grass, a total of about 80,000 people. The news sent said that there should be a group of rangers as support, but the grassland is vast, leaving Baidu
After entering Wolf City, the traces of this ranger disappeared.
The number of the rangers hidden in the dark will not exceed fifteen thousand.
Their main marching route was from Bailang City, all the way south, and approached the former Zhao Didai County.
I will give General Lian Po an equal amount of troops, and it is up to the general to decide how to fight." Zhao Huaizhong said slowly.
"Your Majesty, I don't agree with Lian Po going to war.
The last time he led an army was in Zhao. After that, he lived in exile in Wei and Chu. He has not led an army for many years. I guess Lianpo is already unfamiliar with military matters."
The one who spoke was still Meng Ao.
It is not that there are no mountains within the Qin army. Meng Ao is an important minister in the army and a meritorious general of the Qin people.
It was inevitable that he looked down upon generals like Lian Po who later defected to Qin.
Lian Po was twice denied by Meng Ao, especially when Meng Ao clearly looked down on him, saying that he had not fought for many years and had no knowledge of military affairs. This was a great humiliation and contempt for a general.
Lian Po endured it very hard, but he still considered not wanting to act recklessly in front of Zhao Huaizhong, and his face turned red.
This experience of holding back his temper without breaking out was a rare good temper for him in his life.
Unexpectedly, Meng Ao sneered: "With the elite of our Qin army, the Huns are attacking from afar. Your Majesty has given equal troops and horses to deal with the Huns. Lian Po, you actually agreed, you are really shameless."
If I were to lead the army, with only 50,000 troops, I would be able to defeat the invading Xiongnu troops with complete victory."
He also said: "If the king wants to use Lian Po, he can be my deputy general Meng Ao and accompany me on expeditions to learn military skills."
Wow, wow, wow...I really can't bear it, this bully is going too far.
Lian Po blushed and decided to flip the table: "You are so stupid and fart, I don't know about military affairs?
When I led the army in battle, you were not yet qualified. When I repeatedly made military exploits, you were just learning to lead troops.
Do you dare to say that I don't know the military affairs? You Meng Ao attacked Wei and won several battles, how dare you look down on the generals in the world?
I'll show you if I know anything about military matters!"
Lian Po stretched out his hand and pointed, and the killing energy of the soldiers circulated in front of him, and an illusion of mana emerged. When stretched out, it turned out to be an array chart recording the trends of the earth's veins in various countries.
He stretched out his hand and pointed again, and the formation diagram was enlarged, showing the scene of the confrontation between the two armies.
Thousands of armies and horses were shrunk in the formation, fighting fiercely against each other.
Looking closely at the scene, it is simulating the process when Meng Ao was stationed on the Western Front of the Qin Army and fought against the demon clan.
The scene in that array diagram is meticulous in every detail, with strict laws and regulations, and the spirit of war is soaring into the sky.
In the picture, the two armies clash, the military formations change, and the attitude of attack and defense is rigorous, which is undoubtedly true.
"I have been away from Zhao for many years. Although I have never led troops, I have devoted myself to practice, studied the art of war and strategies, and used the consciousness imprinted by many years of leading troops to refine and differentiate this military formation map. I practice military affairs in it day and night, as if I were there in person.
On the battlefield.
You Meng Ao dare to say that I don’t know how to fight?"
Lian Po's face turned red and he still felt uncomfortable after spraying in one breath. He stared at Meng Ao with a stern look.
If he hadn't been worried that he had not made any achievements in the Qin Dynasty, and he really wanted to lead his troops to fight, Lian Po would have spit out the fragrance and sprayed Meng Ao to death.
After he sprayed others, he was so angry that he gasped and gasped.
Meng Ao narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the formation map presented by Lian Po. He was secretly shocked: It is so real to be able to evolve the formation with the soul consciousness.
This Lian Po is a soldier sage just like Wang Jian?!
Meng Ao's thoughts fluctuated, but he still said disdainfully: "It's just talk on paper. No matter how real the evolution of the military formation is, it is not actual combat and cannot be trusted."
In one sentence, he completely negated the military formation developed by Lian Po.
The veins on Lian Po's forehead jumped sharply and he said: "Your Majesty, I would like to issue a military order. If the Xiongnu cannot be defeated in this battle, as Meng Ao said, I, Lian Po, am willing to cut off the two armies."
This is a bit cruel. If you lose, you will really commit suicide... Zhao Huaizhong said with a smile:
"The general does not need to issue military orders. I trust the general."
Lian Po shook his head: "I voluntarily issue a military order. If I don't win this battle, I will kill myself. Your Majesty, there is no need to persuade me."
Meng Ao smiled secretly: "Since he insists on issuing a military order, the king will agree to it.
I also want to see what he can do."
Lian Po ordered his chamberlain to bring a pen and paper, and angrily wrote down a military order. He strode up to Meng Ao and slapped the military order on the low seat: "I'll leave this military order here for you, just wait and see.
"
"Your Majesty, when can I lead the troops and set off?"
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. As long as the general is well prepared, he can raise his troops to meet the enemy at any time." Zhao Huaizhong immediately gave the soldier talisman.
Lian Po took the seal for mobilizing troops with both hands, feeling excited and his blood welling up.
How many years have passed, I finally got the military talisman again, and it is the general talisman that can mobilize the powerful army of the Qin Dynasty... Lian Po shook his body, bowed deeply to Zhao Huaizhong, turned around and left, without even looking at Meng Ao again.
When Lian Po left, Meng Ao and Zhao Huaizhong looked at each other and smiled.
Meng Ao was really worried about Lian Po leading the army, but his repeated words to anger Lian Po were also deliberate.
"Lian Po returned to the Qin Dynasty. He is eager to make meritorious deeds and is very energetic. However, if he loses his caution, he may underestimate the enemy and rush forward. Your Majesty, you must be on guard." Meng Ao admonished.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "General Meng, don't worry. After this battle, the world will know that Lian Po is not old."
Meng Ao was surprised: "Your Majesty, you have confidence in him?"
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said nothing, and after a moment he said: "I have summoned General Meng to come here, and we have arrangements.
The general has been stuck at the peak of the Saint Law Realm for a long time, has he ever considered breaking through to the Soldier Saint Realm?"
Meng Ao sighed and said: "Becoming a saint in the art of military affairs requires not only self-cultivation, but also the momentum of commanding troops on the battlefield and winning battles repeatedly.
General Wang Jian is still young, full of energy and blood, and has been undefeated in a hundred battles in his life. His military spirit is unrivaled, so he can break through barriers all the way and is unstoppable.
I have only seen the invincible aura of General Wang in three people in my life, and one of them is the Great King.
The other person is Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an. I was the deputy general of General Bai Qi back then, and I personally witnessed the general's unparalleled battles..."
Meng Ao sighed:
"At this age, my vitality is already showing signs of decline, and I have long given up the idea of breaking through to the realm of a saint."
Zhao Huaizhong: "In my opinion, it is not hopeless for the general to break through to the realm of military sage.
The general is the most experienced in attacking Wei. If he can lead his troops to attack Daliang, the capital of the Wei people, and break the fate of the Wei people, he will have the opportunity to attack the Bingsheng."
If someone else had said this, Meng Ao might not have taken it seriously. But Zhao Huaizhong was not only the leader of the country, but also the most talented practitioner in the contemporary era.
When Zhao Huaizhong said it, he was far more convincing than anyone else.
Meng Ao was overjoyed and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want me to attack Wei to help me become a soldier?"
Zhao Huaizhong hummed: "Now is not the time to attack Wei in an all-out way, but the Wei people are hiding behind their backs to instigate the Huns, how can they not retaliate?"
So General Meng personally went to the Eastern Front to force troops to invade the Wei territory, and taught Wei Wu how to behave.
When we launch an all-out attack on Wei in the future, I will also appoint General Meng as the main general."
Meng Ao bowed and held the ceremony, solemnly accepting the order.
The attack on Wei the next day fell on me, and my great achievement will leave my name in history. The king really values me... This is the subtext in Meng Ao's heart, and I am so happy.

Qin received news in the middle of May that the Xiongnu had raised troops and prepared to attack the border.
However, all kinds of soldiers were well prepared for departure. It was not until June that the Huns cavalry gradually approached Daijun on the border of the original Zhao territory.
At the right time, Lian Po had been in Dai City for many days.
At noon, the sun burns my eyes.
On the top of the city, Lian Po was wearing armor, pinching his waist with one hand, and holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with the other hand, looking high-spiritedly to the north of Dai City.
"General Lian Po, the scouts reported that the Xiongnu vanguard troops will be able to force the city of Dai tomorrow."
It was Meng Tian who spoke.
He and Wang Ben were standing to the left and right of Lian Po.
Da Qin's young generals participated in more and more battles.
Brothers Wang Ben, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi now have the ability to stand alone, and their skills are growing day by day.
"The old general has a reputation for being good at defense and is known as the Iron Wall. When the Huns attack, is the general prepared to engage the enemy on the defensive, wear down the front of the Huns, and then look for opportunities to gradually eat away at the Huns' troops?" Wang Ben asked.
Lian Po said in a deep voice: "I used to be on the defensive a lot, which is related to the fact that I was a general in Zhao at that time, and I had to consider the national strength of Zhao. Now I am commanding the Qin army, and the great Qin tiger is the best in the world. Is it a lie?"
We have many soldiers and enough food to attack the Huns, do we still need to defend them?"
"I commanded the army for half a month, sleeping and living with the soldiers day and night, just to understand the Qin army's combat power.
Come, we will leave the city one day early and go north to meet the Huns."

Helianboduo is a powerful general who has grown up in the Xiongnu in recent years.
He is forty-two years old this year. He is also a Hun noble. He is as tall and strong as an iron tower. Sitting on a horse, his feet can almost reach the ground, which shows how tall his body is.
He is riding on a horse, just like an ordinary person riding a big dog. The scene is inexplicably funny.
Helianboduo was the vanguard commander of the Xiongnu troops. He marched all the way to the Qin Dynasty County.
June 12th.
At noon, the sun is as hot as fire.
As they got closer to Dai City, Helian Boduo stood on his horse and looked at the horizon ahead.
On his left and right were dozens of Xiongnu brave generals, each with his own unique appearance and impressive momentum.
The famous warlike races such as Guifang also came with them.
Helianboduo stood on horseback and asked around: "Less than a hundred miles ahead, is there a southern border town?"
Behind Helianboduo, there is a young general, Mou Lianwendu, the general of the Guifang tribe.
"That's right, a hundred miles ahead is the border town of the former Zhao Dynasty.
Facing the Qin people this time, how can our allied forces on the grassland attack the enemy?"
Helianboduo responded calmly: "The border of the Qin people's country stretches so long that in my eyes it is like a flaw everywhere.
My strategy is to attack Dai City first and wait for the opportunity. If there is no chance, I will move all the way to the west from the Qin border and advance quickly, making full use of our characteristics of the Xiongnu's wandering cavalry.
I would like to see how the Qin army can defend us and how we can defend ourselves?
As long as we find an opportunity, our Huns cavalry can immediately tear off a piece of Qin people's flesh. This is the art of hunting. They first harass the enemy everywhere to tire the enemy and weaken its fighting spirit, and then cannibalize the Qin army step by step and amplify its weaknesses."
Helian Boduo shouted: "Send the order to continue advancing fifty miles, and then set up camp to fight the Qin people tomorrow."
All the generals under him roared in unison to receive orders, their momentum was like a rainbow, and they rode on horseback and marched at full speed.
However, just as they were marching south quickly, at the end of their line of sight in the distance, a cavalry group suddenly appeared with flags spread out. It turned out to be the Qin Army cavalry who took the initiative to attack.
The Huns' pathfinding scouts were riding back quickly, but because the Qin people in the rear were very fast and chasing after the scouts, the Qin army came very unexpectedly.
"The Qin people are coming, the Qin people are coming, the Qin people are coming..." the Xiongnu scouts shouted on horseback.
When Helianboduo saw the Qin army taking the initiative to attack, he was not surprised but overjoyed, and shouted angrily: "The Qin army dared to engage in a plains ranger battle with our Huns, exposing its weakness!
Come on, form a sharp sword formation and attack the Qin army head on.
I will show the southerners the front of my Xiongnu army!"
"Kill, kill!"
No one expected that the head-on confrontation between the two armies would come so quickly and suddenly.
Both parties are full of confidence in themselves and will be tough when they come up!
Of course, toughness does not mean there is no technical content.
Just as Lian Po led the Chinese army to attack, he saw that the two sides were approaching continuously, two hundred feet, one hundred and eighty feet, one hundred and fifty feet...
When the two sides approached Baizhang, the Qin army suddenly split sideways and spread out like a tide on both wings.
In the middle, rows of chariots and siege crossbows dragged by war horses were revealed.
On a military vehicle in the middle, Lian Po sneered and said, "I'm here today to teach these Xiongnu barbarians how to fight in plain battles, fire crossbows, and shoot these barbarians to death!"
