Emperor Qin's face turned dark as he suddenly grabbed the battle report and threw it to the ground.
Above the court hall, there was an instant silence.
"Bai Li Xi! Is this what you call the 800-mile military exploits of the Huns from the North!" Emperor Qin was furious. "Now that they have come to our military camp in Da Qin, do you want to wait for them to rush into the royal city?"
Come and tell me that the Huns are ambitious!!!"
Baili Xi was shocked and thought to himself. In recent years, the Xiongnu had many envoys coming to show their kindness and express their unwavering intention to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. That's why they left those third-rate troops on the border. The main force was elite.
Used to move eastward.
Moreover, every time those Huns envoys came, they brought a lot of property to themselves. Could it be possible that these were the Huns' delaying techniques?
Baili Xi was so confused that he didn't know what to do.
At this time, Zhao Songyang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who had a close personal relationship with Baili Xi, stepped forward and rescued Baili Xi.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu traitors are causing trouble. The most urgent task now is to send elite soldiers and generals to support. Our Qin Dynasty has annexed 200,000 people on the northern border. However, the defense line is thousands of miles long. It is difficult to guarantee that no fish will escape the net and enter the Central Plains to disturb the people. At this time, we should
Quickly dispatch good generals to kill the enemy chief who caused trouble this time, and kill them as a warning to others, so that the Xiongnu tribes will not dare to act rashly."
After Zhao Songyang finished speaking, he squinted at Baili Xi, who nodded knowingly and thanked Zhao Songyang for changing the topic and freeing himself from this embarrassing situation.
Emperor Qin finally calmed down a little.
"In your opinion, which unit should be sent there?"
Zhao Songyang replaced Baili Xi, but Emperor Qin asked him in one sentence. It is said that the Secretary of the Ministry of War knew the country's military and horses well, but at the moment, it seemed that there was really some trouble in who the imperial court sent to fight.
"In my opinion." Zhao Songyang thought of a few candidates who could barely take on the task and said, "General Fubo Ma Xiaofeng can take on this important task. His 30,000 Changting troops are well-trained and capable of retreating the Xiongnu.
."
Emperor Qin shook his head and said, "No, Ma Xiaofeng is old and the northern part of the Great Wall is bitterly cold. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive. Moreover, the Changting Army has just finished their field work and their morale is low. They may not be able to demonstrate the power of our Great Qin Army."
Zhao Songyang was stunned, and there was sweat on his forehead. Emperor Qin was usually deep in the palace, but he never expected to know the situation of all the troops and horses so well.
"This..." Zhao Songyang paused and said, "Hussars General Tang Feihu is in his prime, brave and good at fighting. The soldiers he leads have just returned from training in the west..."
This time, before Zhao Songyang could finish speaking, Emperor Qin suddenly flicked his sleeves and said, "You're just fooling me like this!!! Tang Feihu is in his prime, but he..."
Halfway through his words, Emperor Qin closed his mouth and snorted.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were sweating for Zhao Songyang, and they all lamented that Zhao Songyang was usually very scheming, but why did he make such a low-level mistake at this time? Tang Feihu was indeed brave and good at fighting, but he had participated in the prince's mutiny and defected before the mutiny.
He returned to the Qin Emperor's camp. He was not implicated now, but for such a person, the Qin Emperor naturally could not let him lead the army alone.
At this time, Zhao Songyang regretted extremely why he had to be brave and rescued Baili Xi. Now it was better, Baili Xi was fine. But he ended up here, neither up nor down.
