Cao Shen remembered hearing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that once a person gets into the money, he will become a hungry wolf, a poisonous snake, and no longer a mere human anyway.
“Alas…”
Thinking of this, Cao Shen couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh, then spoke to the messenger next to him, saying that
“Tell the generals that we are almost at a city-state in the west, they have already prepared wine, and food to entertain us.”
The city-state he took the Qin army to was the same one that had sent gifts over as a sign of goodwill in the first place.
Now it was also taking these to boost morale.
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the originally dead ranks instantly erupted in cheers, and there were even those who howled.
“General let those barbarians, also prepare some women, the women there have a big flavour, but they are white and tender.”
“Yes extremely yes extremely! General, we’ll save the best one for you.”
“Hahaha…”
Almost instantly, the procession’s travelling speed were much faster.
It was another march, and just as the general’s were about to enter a period of exhaustion once again, someone suddenly shouted that the
“There’s a city! There’s a city, we’ve arrived!”
Just as the others wanted to cheer, suddenly a rush of hoofbeats rang out, hearing the sound, all the Qin troops suddenly changed their faces!
They were all the most elite cavalry of Great Qin naturally knew what this represented!
There was a cavalry raid!
“Formation! Formation!”
All the Qin troops gathered extremely quickly and prepared to form up to resist, but they knew that they had already lost their head start.
But the blood and courage in their bones and the glory of the Great Qin cavalry did not allow them to retreat!
Soon that, the sound of rushing hooves was getting closer and closer, but Cao Shen, who was at the front of the group, didn’t move at all, and the adjutant general beside him hurriedly shouted, the
“General, please also go to the back of our army and let the generals kill the enemy…”
Only before he could finish his words, Cao Shen coldly said.
“How come the Great Qin cavalry can’t even hear the hoofbeats of their own fellow soldiers nowadays?”
“Before we even arrived, General Liu sent a hundred-man cavalry here to confront the Huns and fight for us.”
Hearing this, the Vice General instantly froze then squinted his eyes towards that side and realised that what was speeding towards him was nothing more than a hundred-man Qin cavalry!
Hearing these words, the vice general immediately froze then squinted his eyes and looked that way, then he found that what came galloping towards him was a mere hundred Qin cavalrymen!
“This…”
The adjutant’s mouth grew in disbelief, the other Qin troops also realised something, and a trace of shame surfaced on many of their faces.
But there were also people who cursed that
“Come as you are what’s the point of running so fast! It almost scared me to death!”
“That’s right, they’re killing it here these days.”
“Alright, all keep your voices down, can’t you see that the General is upset?”
Only then did the team slowly quieten down.
At this time, Cao Shen acted as if he didn’t hear the movement of the others, but instead looked, with a smile on his face, towards the group of Great Qin cavalrymen that were galloping towards him, those were the real Great Qin generals!
Soon a young cavalryman arrived in front of Cao Shen and exclaimed.
“Great Qin Centurion Zhi, meet General Cao.”
“The city-state ahead has prepared meals, camps, and awaits the arrival of the army.”
Looking at the refined young man in front of him, Cao Shen smiled back and said.
“Tough on you all.”
With that, he led Zhi, all the way towards the city-state.
During that time, the two of them chatted with each other, which was namely cheerful.
This young general had come up from the bottom step by step, but Cao Sen guessed that there should be a family behind the other party.
Because the other party usually comes with a temperament that an ordinary countryside boy can not have.
Not to say that he looked down on the countryside people, but simply because ordinary people could not afford books.
Soon arrived in front of a city state, at this time a young man wearing a different dress, with numerous people of the city state stood in front of the city gate, after seeing a few people arrived, went up to the front and shouted loudly in the not too skilled Da Qin language,…
“Welcome back my Great Qin soldiers!”
Hearing these words, Cao Shen raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and could not help but look at Zhi next to him, asking.
“Did you arrange this?”
Zhi also shook his head with surprise on his face, but he had some impression of the other party, after all, the other party was the only one who dared to speak out inside so many cities and return to the.
“Mordecai has been running around these days, there is no time to do these things.”
“But Mordecai does remember that this person is the young prince of this city-state, and has some guts.”
Cao Shen nodded, then looked at that young prince and said.
“It is you who honoured my Great Qin with a gift?”
“It is you who honoured my Great Qin with a gift?”
After hearing the translation, the young prince instantly unskilledly returned to.
“It is I… well, my Da Qin language is not good…”
Although the other party’s speech was not fluent, Cao Shen did not mind at all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said that he should be more affirmative to those whose hearts aspire to Great Qin, as these people would be extremely useful in spreading Great Qin’s national prestige.
“The young prince has spoken well, now let’s arrange the generals first.”
Cao Shen said at this time.
The young prince immediately led the order.
Zhi Yu, who was on the side, was about to leave with his own men, when Cao Sen said at this time.
“Zhi, you will follow me with your men from now on.”
These people are the true Qin cavalry, and will be of great use when the time comes.
Zhi hesitated for a moment, then led the order.
Soon, all the generals were put in place, and the young prince walked up to breakfast at this time and said.
“General, I have prepared special food and a place for you, please follow me.”
Cao Shen did not refuse and soon led the way to a place that was significantly more flamboyant, the little prince said at this point that
“This is our royal palace, and from now on it will be the general’s residence.”
Cao Shen but revealed a smile, he could see that the other party was genuinely submissive, and asked.
“Did you receive the words the messenger brought you?”
The young prince hastily nodded his head back to.
“Whatever test the general may have, I will certainly obey.”
“I will definitely serve His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin!”
Hearing these words, the smile on Cao Shen’s face grew even brighter, taking a step closer to the other party, before saying.
“Very well, you must firmly remember that our allegiance is to His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin, everyone else is just a temporary leader.”
Although the young prince was a little puzzled by the difference, he still nodded fiercely.
As for the side of Zhi, when he heard the words “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince”, he could not help but think faintly in his heart.
“I also don’t know how the Prince has made them? So nostalgic for the days when we trained together.”
