Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

In the northern border, at the gate of the Meng family army camp, a group of cavalrymen were approaching the camp in a dusty manner.

These were cavalrymen who had just returned from fighting the Huns who had come to plunder them. Each of them was very tough, and their armor was even stained with the blood of the Huns. At this time on the border, armor was not dirty, but a symbol of honor.

"General Meng"

"General Meng"

"General Meng!"

As the general at the front entered the camp, the soldiers around him immediately bowed and saluted. The leader who entered the camp was Yi Xiaochuan, or to be more precise, someone who looked exactly like him.

Soon Yi Xiaochuan arrived in front of the commander's tent. After informing the soldiers at the door, Yi Xiaochuan entered the tent. At this time, there was only Meng Tian in the tent. He was looking at the situation in the north on the sand table, and the reasons why the Huns had been harassing the border recently.

"General, the Huns heading for Huangfengkou have been intercepted by my army. The enemy army has been defeated and returned. In this battle, we have defeated 1,000 enemy troops and killed 600 of them."

"Okay, Meng Yi, you are worthy of being a son of the Meng family. I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of His Majesty."

Listening to Yi Xiaochuan's words, Meng Tian was very satisfied, and even praised him very much. Since Yi Xiaochuan agreed to go to the northern border with him, he has changed a lot. He was very silent all the way, but after arriving in the northern border, he performed unexpectedly well.

His character became more calm and he did not mention what happened in Xianyang. Instead, he focused on training soldiers and dealing with the Huns.

He led the troops in almost every battle, accumulated military merits very quickly, and mastered the use of various tactics. In half a year, he had made a name for himself in the army. Even the Xiongnu knew that a brave and skilled general had appeared in the Meng family army in the north.

Moreover, he has a good fighting ability and has killed no less than ten Hun generals. Moreover, he has defeated the enemy with fewer troops many times. Today, he led 500 cavalrymen to directly defeat more than 1,000 Hun cavalrymen.

In fact, in the case of field battles, with the same number of cavalry, the Huns still have the advantage. After all, the living habits of both sides have determined that there is still a gap in the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. The Huns are a nomadic people, and horses are almost like the two legs of the Huns. Even so, Yi Xiaochuan can still win every battle. How could Meng Tian not be happy? It was as if Yi Xiaochuan had completely come to his senses after the incident in Xianyang.

Not only that, the generals at all levels in the Northern Border Army were able to maintain quite good interpersonal relationships. Meng Tian admired this very much. Being able to convince so many people about Yi Xiaochuan at such a fast speed was also what satisfied Meng Tian. Naturally, his military merits were also accumulated very quickly, especially since the Huns had been making a lot of moves recently. To some extent, this also allowed Yi Xiaochuan to accumulate a lot of military merits.

"General, you don't have to do this. This is what I should do."

"Hey, didn't I tell you that when there are no outsiders around, you can just call me brother?"

"General, now in the military camp, of course I have to address my rank, otherwise it would be a violation of etiquette, and if the other generals in the army see me, they might think I am..."

"Good, not bad, Meng Yi, you have changed a lot, which is very good. I will feel relieved to have you in the Meng family army in the future."

Seeing Yi Xiaochuan's performance at this time, Meng Tian was also very pleased. However, from an angle that Meng Tian did not see, Yi Xiaochuan's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, but he concealed it very well.

"By the way, what do you think about the recent frequent attacks by the Huns on the northern border?"

At this time, Meng Tian suddenly changed the subject and began to ask Yi Xiaochuan about the frequent attacks by the Huns in recent times, or the disturbance in the northern border. Moreover, the attack was not directed at one place, but stretched for hundreds of kilometers, with no focus at all. This also led to the entire northern border's defense line being tense.

"Great Wall"

"Great Wall?"

After hearing what Yi Xiaochuan said, Meng Tian was unable to understand Yi Xiaochuan's meaning for a moment. What did the frequent attacks of the Huns have to do with the Great Wall?

"In fact, to be more precise, the Huns were probably testing the Great Wall's defensive capabilities on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were testing our Great Wall's defensive loopholes. I think these two points are the most likely."

"Oh, tell me more about it?"

Listening to Yi Xiaochuan's words, Meng Tian also became interested at this time. During this period, the Huns had repeatedly dispatched nearly 30,000 people back and forth, constantly waiting for opportunities to move on the northern border. This was the most troublesome thing, which also led to the fact that the northern border army had to be frequently mobilized at this time.

Meng Tian has been trying to find out what prompted the Xiongnu to do this. Was it because of internal political chaos or because of a lack of food that prompted them to start a blitzkrieg? However, Yi Xiaochuan's words today did spark some interest in Meng Tian.

"To put it simply, the speed of building the Great Wall this time was too fast, which aroused the Huns' vigilance. The construction of the Great Wall should be faster than before. The harassment of the Huns is becoming more and more frequent. In fact, they don't want the Great Wall to be completely completed. Now, whether it is probing or attacking, it is just to find a suitable attack point."

"The Huns have already tasted the bitterness brought by the Great Wall. The beacon towers, the endless defensive fortifications, and the complete construction of the Great Wall are equivalent to completely reversing the offensive and defensive situation. This is also what your majesty envisioned at the beginning. They can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. However, this method is not good for the Huns, so the Huns are becoming more and more impatient. This is probably the key reason."

"General, have you noticed that the Huns' attack was scattered and not on a large scale? There were thousands of them, or only a few hundred, and there was no focus of attack. This alone is enough to prove what I said."

Listening to Yi Xiaochuan's talk, Meng Tian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yi Xiaochuan with a look of admiration.

"Okay, okay, hahahaha... Meng Yi will definitely be a great general in the future. Okay, I said that the descendants of my Meng family will naturally not be laughed at by others."

"General, thank you for your praise. I have been traveling so long. I will go and settle the soldiers first."

"Well, go ahead"

"Here"

After Yi Xiaochuan left the big tent, the submissive expression on his face completely disappeared, and was replaced by a frightening look.

"Gao Yao, Gao Yao, you really made me waste a lot of time!"
