Ding Zi No. 3's few words stoked the hornet's nest, causing the generals of the Jiuyuan Army who were originally in conflict to jump to their feet.
Known as the most elite of the Qin Dynasty and founded by General Meng Tian, how could the Jiuyuan Army be afraid of those dirty and vulgar Xiongnu barbarians? This is really the funniest joke these Jiuyuan Army generals have ever heard since they were born.
At this time, a rough voice suddenly sounded like thunder in the lobby.
"Master Longwei, do you know how many heads of Xiongnu barbarians have been killed by our Jiuyuan Army in guarding Jiuyuan City of Great Qin for more than ten years? When did our Jiuyuan Army of Great Qin become afraid of those Xiongnu barbarians? Those
The barbarians are afraid that our Jiuyuan Army is not much different, haha!"
A tall man at least nine feet tall, wearing black armor and a full beard, glanced at No. 3 with disdain, and said angrily. Finally, he seemed to think of the way the Huns saw the Jiuyuan Army fleeing, and he laughed first.
stand up.
Only at the end did he realize that all the generals of the Jiuyuan Army in the entire lobby, including the five Dragon Guards, were looking at him with sick expressions on their faces, which immediately made the strong man laugh like a rooster being strangled.
But stop.
Opening his mouth twice, the strong man general was about to say something to cover up his embarrassment, but he never thought that Number Three would speak first.
"Then why don't the generals who command hundreds of thousands of Jiuyuan troops send troops to prepare for war?"
"That's because Your Majesty..."
"Li Gang, shut up!"
A voice appeared at the right time and suddenly interrupted General Li Gang who was about to say, "Your Majesty is suspicious of the general."
Seeing the stern look in the middle-aged man's eyes, who was sitting on the first left side of the hall and had no beard, Li Gang shrank his neck and hid among the generals in the hall, never to show his face again.
"May I ask General, what did General Li Gang say about His Majesty just now?"
D-number 3 seemed to realize something. His eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives and he stared at the middle-aged general who had just interrupted the loud-mouthed Li Gang, speaking word by word.
And the four dragon guards who had been following him all touched the bronze swords at their waists. The five people's ten eyes stared unblinkingly at the person sitting first on the left side of the lobby.
A middle-aged general.
Obviously, these generals of the Nine Plains Army seem to have a grudge against His Majesty. Are these generals of the Nine Plains Army the emperor's ministers or the princes of a separate country? They dare to arrange for His Majesty the Emperor!
The five Dragon Guards made no secret of their hostility. There was even a trace of murderous intent in this hostility. It seemed that if the middle-aged general disagreed with him, the five of them would rise up and take his head.
The generals of the Jiuyuan Army in the lobby did not expect that these Long Guards would be so arrogant. You must know that they are now in their hometown of the Jiuyuan Army. Do you still think they are in Xianyang? Such a blatant attack on the status of the Jiuyuan Army
Meng Hong, the cousin of General Meng Tian, the highest general, showed murderous intent. Does this mean that he regards his more than 109,000 original troops as nothing? Or do they think that by hanging on to the Dragon Guard badge, they can keep the Qin generals and titles intact?
In your eyes?
Never had the Jiuyuan Army been treated with such contempt? A little dragon guard without a title dared to treat an imperial general like this.
There was a grumpy Jiuyuan Army general who was about to stand up and scold him. Meng Hong glanced at him calmly. The Jiuyuan Army general who was about to jump out suddenly shrank back. Obviously Meng Hong was in Jiuyuan Army.
The military's prestige is very high.
"Lord Long Wei is serious. General Li just wanted to say that Lord Meng Yi has just returned to Xianyang, and the general who succeeded Lord Meng Yi to lead the Jiuyuan Army has not yet come to Jiuyuan City. And we are just a member of the Jiuyuan Army.
General, it is a grave crime of rebellion for us to rashly mobilize our troops without His Majesty's order!"
Meng Hong didn't seem to notice the murderous intent and disrespect of the five people named D-3 at all, and explained with a smile.
D No. 3 looked at Meng Hong doubtfully, and then turned to look at the generals of the Nine Plains Army. Although he had never led an army, he knew that what Meng Hong said was indeed a reason, but why did he still feel that he was in front of him?
What about the middle-aged man who smiles kindly but doesn't really mean what he says?
"Yes, yes, General Meng is right. That's what the general meant, that's what he meant." Big-mouthed Li Gang suddenly appeared again at this moment. His two copper bell-like eyes were glowing with cuteness.
Even the five dead Dragon Guards No. 3, whose hands were stained with blood, felt the urge to vomit when they saw Li Gang, who looked like a gorilla with a beard and had an innocent look on his face.
.
Suppressing the feeling of nausea in his heart, Ding Zi No. 3 looked at the surrounding generals of the Jiuyuan Army. When these generals of the Jiuyuan Army saw Ding Zi No. 3 looking over, they all nodded like chickens eating rice.
Although there are still doubts in their hearts, at this moment, the five people in D-shaped No. 3 can only keep their doubts in their hearts and leave them to be investigated slowly in the future.
The reasons given by Meng Hong indeed exist objectively, and no one can refute this.
Seeing that the five Dragon Guards who were dead set on the emperor finally gave up the investigation, Meng Hong couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But the current situation obviously cannot really wait until the emperor's edict is issued. If the people of Jiuyuan were massacred by the Xiongnu, I am afraid that
They still couldn't escape death.
Seeing Long Wei Ding No. 3 with a worried look on his face, Meng Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, the five people in front of you are the imperial guards around His Majesty, and they are all people who can directly reach Tianting. What's more, they discovered and sent the news about the Xiongnu barbarians going south.
It seems that to untie the bell, one needs to tie the bell.
"I also ask five adults to save the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Jiuyuan Army. Meng Hong and other Jiuyuan generals are extremely grateful." Meng Hong strode to Ding No. 3, bowed deeply to the ground, and said loudly
.
The entire lobby suddenly became silent.
Meng Hong's actions not only confused the five people in Ding No. 3, but the dozens of senior generals of the Nine Plains Army in the lobby almost lost their minds when they saw Meng Hong saluting the five little dragon guards in Ding No. 3.
Stare your eyes out.
The five men numbered D-3 were Long Wei who didn't know Meng Hong very well. They, the native generals of the Jiuyuan Army, knew the character of General Meng Tian's right-hand man very well.
Full of wisdom and arrogance, he never shows off to those he doesn't like.
The person in charge of Meng Tian's shogunate in Jiuyuan City (similar to the later staff system, which was introduced earlier) was Meng Hong, Meng Tian's cousin. Meng Tian was an upright man, and he always only looked at practical things, whether military or political achievements.
Even if the Meng clan makes mistakes but has no merit, they will not be promoted.
And Meng Hong is Meng Tian's cousin and the person in charge of Meng Tian's shogunate, so he naturally has his own merits. Before the current Longxi General Xin Sheng left, he and Meng Hong were both known as General Meng Tian.
The right-hand man.
If Ying Yi, the commander of the Dragon Guard, had saluted Meng Hong in Jiuyuan City and asked him to save hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiuyuan City, it would have been okay. And the five people in front of him were obviously minor players in the Dragon Guard, and even more so.
There are only five people.
However, in a moment, the quick-thinking general of the Jiuyuan Army thought of why Meng Hong was acting like this.
"General Meng has defeated the villain!" Ding Zi No. 3 and the four dragon guards quickly dispersed to avoid Meng Hong's gift. They felt a little confused for a while. "I and the dragon guards are willing to die for your majesty, General Meng.
It doesn’t have to be like this. Once you have a place for the five of us, just give me the order.”
Meng Hong laughed silently in his heart, waiting for your words. However, although he was already happy in his heart, his face still looked miserable, and he even rubbed the bags under his eyes desperately.
He squeezed out a few tears from his old eyes and said in a sob voice: "Everyone in the Jiuyuan Army and I are willing to die for Your Majesty. At this moment, the brutal Huns barbarian army is pressing on the border, and His Majesty's edict will not arrive until tomorrow night at the earliest."
In Jiuyuan, the general who replaced Lord Meng Yi did not even know where he was.
Now there are nearly 200,000 ordinary Guizhou chiefs in Jiuyuan County plus prisoners and slaves. These people are all our subjects of the Qin Dynasty. However, before His Majesty’s edict arrives, none of our generals dare to mobilize troops privately.
.Once the Xiongnu barbarians enter our territory of Great Qin, these unarmed people of Great Qin will surely lose their lives. Our 200,000 soldiers of Great Qin can only watch the Xiongnu barbarians without being able to fight. What can we do?
For this plan, we are willing to accept your majesty's punishment and mobilize our troops to prepare for war in advance to protect the safety of our people in Daqin. We also ask five adults to testify for us in front of your majesty after they return to Xianyang. We, the generals, are really forced to do so.
That’s why I came up with this strategy. I didn’t have the slightest intention of treason. Please ask the five adults to make it happen!”
At the end, Meng Hong lowered his head again and squeezed out a few tears. But the hands behind his back were swinging rapidly, obviously to let the Jiuyuan Army generals behind him take advantage of the situation to add fire.
"Please help me, five adults!" The generals of the Jiuyuan Army were not fools either. While they were praising Meng Hong's superb acting skills, they were already planning in their hearts how to mobilize their troops.
Seeing the righteous generals in front of them, who were willing to accept the emperor's punishment but also disobey military orders and send troops to protect the country and the people, the five people of Ding Zi No. 3 suddenly had no grudge against them in their hearts, and they all turned to Meng Hong and other Jiuyuan soldiers.
The army generals said solemnly: "We will definitely report it to Your Majesty, and our bodies and bones will be shattered to prove the innocence of all the generals!"
Done!
The originally anxious lobby suddenly turned into a temporary combat hall.
In order to deal with the possible attack of the Huns at any time, Meng Tian had already discussed many plans with the generals of the Jiuyuan Army when he was still in Jiuyuan. All plans were ready-made.
Now that the shortcomings that may be punished by His Majesty the Emperor in the future have been resolved, as Meng Hong issued orders one after another, the huge Jiuyuan Fortress suddenly woke up from its slumber, and instantly transformed into a ferocious war beast.
Military orders were conveyed to each battalion in an orderly manner, homing pigeons flapped their wings and flew to various garrison sites around Jiuyuan, and troops one by one drove out of the camp in an orderly manner to expel Jiuyuan City.
Everything was so orderly, neither the soldiers nor the people in the city were in the slightest panic because of the Huns' army pressing on the border. The good fighting qualities of the Jiuyuan Army were fully demonstrated at this moment.
