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

Seeing that his general remained silent, the messenger at the side asked cautiously, "General, do you want to see the person who came?"

Zhang Han thought for a moment, and first waved his hand to signal not to let the person in, but then he seemed to have thought of something important and said, "Slow... bring the person in."

After receiving the order, the messenger responded with a yes, then quickly stood up and left the tent to summon the messenger sent by the Southern Border Army. At this moment, Zhang Han slowly put down his weapon, paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, waiting for the upcoming meeting.

Soon, a young general in armor entered Zhang Han's tent. Zhang Han was slightly surprised by the figure and appearance of the man. He should be less than 20 years old, but he dared to take on such a mission to the enemy camp.

It is a rule that two armies should not kill envoys when fighting, but this rule is not always effective, and not everyone will abide by it. Not killing you during a conversation does not mean that they will not kill you on the way back.

Many things cannot be put on the surface. In many cases, the presence of envoys is not only to negotiate conditions, but also a key step to spy on the enemy. It seems that they are negotiating, but along the way, they can have a certain understanding of the enemy's momentum, number, and mentality. Therefore, the mission of the envoy is often accompanied by danger and it is no joke.

Even when some powerful forces are preparing to attack some weaker forces, they often use the method of sending envoys, and then the envoys die in the opponent's territory. The envoys often represent the face of a country or a force. Once the envoys die, there is a reason to go to war. Therefore, the danger factor of envoys is never low. Moreover, not killing envoys does not mean that they must be entertained. Cases of envoys being tortured are also common throughout history.

Even if you are an envoy of a powerful country, on the one hand you have to prevent your master from stabbing you in the back, and on the other hand you have to worry about being stabbed in the back by the country you are visiting. Before you enter the other country, you may be killed by people sent by the other party. If you die outside your own country, it has nothing to do with your own country.

This is also the reason why Zhang Han felt puzzled about such a young general in front of him. Normally, the people sent should be some literati, but now he is sending a young general. Does this mean that the Southern Border Army has no one left?

"Tell me, who sent you here? What's the matter? Tell me the truth quickly!" Although Zhang Han had a lot of thoughts in his mind at this time, he did not hesitate at all and immediately shouted at the person in front of him. The voice seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds.

The young general saluted respectfully and said, "General Zhang Han, I'm here on the orders of General Han Xin to deliver an important piece of information to you." As he spoke, the young general carefully took out a letter from his arms, then quickly stepped forward and handed it to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han frowned slightly at first, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. But soon, he winked at the guard beside him, signaling him to take it. The guard understood, hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter, and turned around to hand it to Zhang Han.

When Zhang Han set his eyes on the intelligence, his originally calm face suddenly became solemn, and then his face suddenly changed. Because the intelligence clearly stated the current situation facing Xianyang City - it turned out that the coalition army led by the King of Wei and led by Xiang Yu had successfully broken through many barriers and was launching a fierce attack on Xianyang City. And according to the intelligence, the scale of this coalition army was extremely large, with nearly 200,000 soldiers!

"Impossible! How dare you attempt to deceive this general! How audacious!"

The next moment, Zhang Han roared with rage, and the roar was deafening, echoing throughout the camp. His face was full of disbelief, his eyes wide open, staring at the young general in front of him, as if he wanted to devour him alive with his eyes. Obviously, Zhang Han found it difficult to accept this sudden intelligence for a while, and even suspected that there was a trick.

The young general did not show any panic when he faced the furious Zhang Han. He was calm as usual and said calmly: "General Zhang Han, whether this is true or not, I believe you should know it with your wisdom. Now, the imperial army in Xiangjun has probably received this information. In terms of time, we both received it at almost the same time, but General Zhang Han is still unaware of it."

Zhang Han's expression changed slightly when he heard the young general's words. After a little thought, he couldn't help but agree with what the young general said.

If Meng Yi had indeed received the news, then it would be reasonable for them to keep their troops in place and keep silent. You know, once such news spreads widely, it will inevitably cause the army to be in turmoil or even chaos. Just imagine, if their own rear has been attacked, how can the soldiers continue to fight bravely? Thinking of this, Zhang Han's originally firm heart began to waver.

"Hmph!" Zhang Han's eyes widened with anger, he snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Han Xin that guy actually wants to use this kind of gossip to disrupt the morale of our army, it's simply a pipe dream!" He paused for a moment, thought a little, and refuted the words of the young general in front of him without hesitation.

In fact, Zhang Han knew very well that this was not groundless. After all, this could explain why Meng Yi suddenly wanted to kill Gao Yao at all costs. However, as a general, he could not verbally admit the authenticity of the news. Because if he did so, it would inevitably cause panic and anxiety among the soldiers, leading to chaos in the army.

The young general was terrified and quickly bowed and said, "General, please calm down. Perhaps I expressed myself incorrectly. General Han Xin sent me here specifically to give you a reminder. The situation in the southern border is now clear, and every move of both sides is under control. Moreover, the retreat of the imperial army is a foregone conclusion, it's just a matter of time. This expedition to the southern border is doomed to fail. Not only did we lose nearly 100,000 troops, but General Li Xin was unfortunately killed. Someone has to take responsibility for such a serious crime, right? Should General Meng Yi take the blame, or should General Wang Ben be responsible, or..." At this point, the young general raised his eyes cautiously and glanced at Zhang Han, wanting to say something but stopping.
