The young prince’s reception pleased everyone; after all, he brought out the best food, wine, and even made his palace available.
The tired Qin troops relaxed and began to drink and eat freely until the evening.
Cao Shen looked at many of the drunken Qin soldiers, he couldn’t help but shake his head and said to Zhi, who was beside him.
“It’s going to be hard for you to lead the generals on guard for one more night tonight.”
Although there were almost no forces here that could pose a threat to the Qin army, this vigilant mentality could not be relaxed, the other Qin troops could no longer be relied on, they could only rely on each other.
Zhi nodded without the slightest hesitation, then led the order to leave.
Soon led the people to the highest ground on the periphery of the royal palace, checking the situation of the entire royal palace, if there is a change he can be the first time to show the alarm, and counterattack.
After arranging the manpower, he himself joined the inspection.
Soon, the night fell, the temperature also gradually cold down. m.
At this time a stout and powerful Qin army shikai walked up to Zhi and said.
“My lord, let me do my rounds here, you go and rest.”
Zhi said with a smile at this time that
“In the army there are no eunuchs, only centurions, and naturally as a member of the Meng family I am all the more obliged to abide by such rules.”
He was naturally Meng Zhi, who had started out at the Great Wall as an ordinary Qin soldier like everyone else.
But he quickly rose through the ranks by being skilful with his bow and horse.
Afterwards, when he learnt from Meng Ten that Qin was going to send a cavalry army to raid the Qiangs and the Lunar Steppe, he secretly joined the cavalry.
Then he came all the way here, and now he is also a real centurion who has risen up by virtue of his military service.
And there are still merits that have not been combined, and after going back, he will certainly be able to get to a thousand generals!
This kind of promotion speed is also extremely fast.
Hearing this, the Shishang also couldn’t help but reveal a look of approval.
Although the other party was a direct descendant of the Meng family, he had almost no privileges and had started from the bottom step by step.
The promotion, too, was by virtue of solid military achievements.
It is indeed good.
Of course it says hardly here because he was the one sent to protect the other side, and he wasn’t the only one.
Otherwise such a long raid, and in the midst of countless chaotic battles.
The other party is really not necessarily able to survive until now, in the battlefield, a mound, a stray vector, can take a life.
The other side is really not necessarily able to survive until now, in the battlefield, an earth pit, a stray vector, can take a life.
Not to mention the fact that the other party also possessed the Meng family’s education from childhood, and all aspects were not comparable to ordinary people.
The real ordinary people are just like him, people to the prime of life, only is a shishang, need a little bit of luck to be able to get to the position of centurion.
Although the Shishang sighed in his heart, what should be persuaded still had to be persuaded, the other party’s status could be countless times more honourable than theirs.
When he was about to speak, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from the side, he immediately looked over with extreme vigilance, and found that the young prince was walking over with a few attendants and an interpreter, and the young prince was bringing a few attendants and an interpreter with him.
“General, I’ve had some hot soup and food prepared to bring over for a few of you.”
Meng Zhi at this time but waved his hand, and with a few seriousness, said.
“It is not to be enjoyed while the army is on duty, the prince will just put it aside for now.”
“But it will get cold later, you…”
Without waiting for the other party to finish his sentence, Meng Zhi directly said.
“Military rules are unbreakable, just leave it.”
Hearing this, the young prince didn’t mind in the slightest, but instead revealed a look of admiration.
No wonder these Qin armies were able to be so powerful.
The little prince put his things down but did not leave immediately, instead, he was somewhat hesitant and seemed to be hesitating about something at one side.
Meng Zhi took the initiative to ask at this time.
“Does the prince have anything else to do?”
The young prince seemed to have decided something at this time, took a few steps closer to Meng Zhi, and then said with extreme sincerity, the
“General, as you said before, this city is now a border city of Great Qin, so the people in the city are also the people of Great Qin.”
“I’ve heard that all Great Qin’s subjects are treated favourably, and we also hope that this is the case.”
Hearing this, Meng Zhi couldn’t help but reveal a smile and said.
“The young prince really has a heart, and actually understands this.”
“It’s just that the understanding isn’t complete, nowadays, although this city is already a border city of Great Qin, it’s not that easy to become a subject of Great Qin.”
Speaking of this Meng Zhi said with a bit of pride.
“If an outsider wants to become a true Great Qin citizen, they must have shed blood for Great Qin! Only after three generations can one be a true Great Qin man.”
This rule was not set by him, but was proposed by the Crown Prince after he conquered the grasslands.
He didn’t see any problem with it either.
However, in the face of such harsh conditions, the young prince was not worried, but rather happy, and spoke directly to.
“In that case, please also let me and my subjects and people, join the Qin army, we are willing to shed our blood for Great Qin!”
This is what he came for.
That’s what he came for.
Meng Zhi froze for a moment, then reacted that the other party had already had this intention.
After thinking about it, he did not reject it directly, they were far away from Great Qin’s mainland, and it was extremely difficult to replenish the soldiers with supplies and transport them, so they could only take what they needed locally.
It would be a good choice if they recruited some local servants, of course, he couldn’t directly make the decision on this matter, he needed to discuss it with Cao Sen.
So back to.
“This general is aware of this matter, and will give you and others a reply afterwards.”
The young prince immediately nodded with joy, and was about to leave, when suddenly a clamour came from far outside the city, and soon a squire staggered over, saying sharply that
“Prince is not good, outside the city again came a lot of people fleeing, and also said that behind them there are Huns pursuers.”
The young prince’s face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly explained the situation to Meng Zhi who was beside him.
Hearing this Meng Zhi didn’t panic in the slightest, but confidently and calmly returned, the
“There’s no harm in it, there’s my Great Qin’s flag at the top of the city.”
Seeing this scene, the young prince’s heart is still a little hard to understand, before scaring off the Huns at least there was a team of cavalry, now just a flag can do it?
But soon another attendant came over and said, with surprise and joy.
“Prince, those Huns have retreated.”
Hearing this, the young prince gave Meng Zhi a somewhat incredulous look, and then excused himself, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind that their entire clan would join the Qin army as long as they were eligible!
After the little prince saluted again and left, Meng Zhi resumed his inspection.
At this time, on the other side, Cao Sen, who was writing a military report to His Highness the Crown Prince, also received a report from the Qin army, but he wasn’t too worried about it, the current Huns didn’t dare to go to war with the Qin army.
And the plundering of the other side would be beneficial to their rule instead.
The only thing he was worried about was the hidden mind of Liu Bang.
These preparations were made as a precaution.
Thinking of this Cao Sen could not help but look in the direction of Great Qin and said to himself.
“Pei Gong ah Pei Gong, you must not be confused.”
After lamenting a little, Cao Shen continued to write the military report, he wanted to tell His Highness the Crown Prince the information he got these days as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, there were fast horses heading towards the direction of Great Qin.
Time passed in a flash, ten days later, Great Qin Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Lang was looking at a letter with a joyful expression, and after reading it, he said to the messenger beside him.
“Tell Brother Hai, well done, no matter how much silver ore is found on that island, dig it back for me!”
