The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 655: One Person Guarding a City [Please Subscribe*Please Pass]

The dead King of Donghu is worthless, but the living King of Donghu is very valuable.

This is also why in many wars, the enemy's main generals are mainly captured as prisoners. To put it nicely, it is because the other party is a noble like themselves, and they will see each other every day, and they don't want to create a feud. In reality, it is because living nobles can bring more benefits.

Therefore, Han Xin and others escorted the King of Donghu and the Prime Minister of Donghu back to the central military camp with great respect.

As for other military achievements, what could be greater than capturing the King of Donghu alive?

At the same time, the leading White Tiger of the Mechanical White Tiger Formation also broke the large flag of the Donghu Central Army with a whip of its tail.

The entire battlefield fell into chaos in an instant, and the mountains and plains were filled with the defeated Donghu army.

Without the central army flag and the King of Donghu, the entire Donghu army collapsed completely.

"Defeated!" The leaders of the Donghu tribes looked at the fallen central army banner and immediately took their people on the long and distant journey back home.

As for serving the king? What does it have to do with them?

That is Wang Ting’s own business.

They just want to return to the tribe with their people, otherwise their tribe will die this winter.

"Stop!" The descendants of the Donghu royal family were still thinking about restraining the army.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to them anymore.

Three hundred thousand troops were defeated when fighting against thirty thousand. The influence of the King of Donghu was reduced to the extreme at this moment.

All tribes no longer believed in them and feared them.

If the Red Flame Cavalry were not still there, they would still be hunted down, and there might be a large tribe that wants to covet the royal power.

But the Red Flame Cavalry doesn't care about that.

The credit of capturing the flag has been won by the White Tiger Formation, but there are still military merits waiting for them all over the mountains and plains.

There were also a lot of cavalry waiting for them all over the mountains.

The captains of each battalion of the Red Flame Cavalry began to hunt down their targets according to the plan agreed upon last night.

As the Red Flame Riders, they have very high standards, and not just any Tom, Dick or Harry are qualified to be their target.

If one wanted to become a follower of the Red Flame Cavalry, one had to be at least the elite of a large clan or tribe of the Donghu, or even the Royal Guard Cavalry to be considered by them.

"They are all elite troops!" Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the targets being chased by the various battalions of the Red Flame Cavalry.

Who among the princes of the Central Plains dared to hunt down the elite cavalry of the Hu people on the grassland?

But the Red Flame Cavalry dared, and they were targeting the elite!
"Where is Han Xin?" Meng Tian asked calmly.

He was the eldest son of the Meng family's generation. He was personally trained by Meng Ao when he was young, and then he was trained by the Qin State. After coming to Bingzhou, he was trained with great ceremony in Bingzhou. He had many teachers, including his grandfather Meng Ao and his father Meng Wu. He also studied with Wang Jian, Wei Liaozi and others, and finally learned the command of a large army from Li Ren and Bing Jun.

Therefore, he also possessed the ability to command a large army, and therefore, he immediately discovered that a battalion of a thousand men was missing from the Red Flame Cavalry.

"They left the main army early and infiltrated the enemy's rear. They must be going to encircle the King of Donghu!" Meng Yi could also guess where Han Xin's Red Flame Cavalry had gone.

However, Meng Yi was not sure whether he could surround them.

This is a huge gamble. If you win, it will be a great achievement equal to the merit of capturing the flag. If you lose, you can only pick up what others have left and what other Red Flame Riders have left.

However, if it were Meng Yi himself, he would also be willing to take this big gamble.

"That's good!" Meng Tian nodded.

As the commander, he was responsible for the entire army and could not always pay attention to the movements of a battalion. He only needed to know where each battalion went and then make arrangements.

Especially this time, he delegated power and let the Red Flame Cavalry find their own opportunities to fight. He also needed to know the location of each camp as clearly as possible to prevent the enemy from regrouping and dividing them.

It's not like you can just look for an opportunity to fight and then ignore it.

He is like a patriarch. Although he lets his sons start their own businesses, he also provides them with all kinds of attention and resource support.

"Send someone to support him!" Meng Tian had no doubt that Han Xin could not capture the King of Donghu.

As the next generation of generals being trained as a priority in Bingzhou, Han Xin received the same resources and training as when he first entered Bingzhou.

What Meng Tian believed in was the king's vision, not Han Xin's ability.

If Han Xin fails to capture the King of Donghu, it will not be a good thing for Han Xin, and Bingzhou will have less resources to invest in it.

Of course, Meng Tian would not favor one over the other. The central army camp would still send the main force of the central army to meet the captains of each camp and inform them of the current battlefield situation, but he would not give them any military orders.

To put it simply, Meng Tian gave all the captains of the Red Flame Cavalry a God's perspective, and let each captain make his own decision as to how to make it.

If this can cause problems, then he should go to the law enforcement captain to receive punishment. He can't afford to lose face.

"It's time for us to return to Danlin City to report the battle situation to His Majesty!" Meng Tian turned his head and looked at the generals of the central army shogunate.

As lieutenant generals of the central army of the shogunate, they no longer need to go to the front line to kill the enemy. What they need to be promoted is no longer beheadings, but great military achievements.

And this great victory is enough for them to be promoted.

Even many lieutenant generals at the doctor level were able to be promoted to the rank of minister thanks to this great victory. This was a major class leap.

As doctors, they are already at the level of county governors, with silver seals and blue ribbons. With this great achievement, they are very likely to advance again and become top dignitaries at the level of ministers, with gold seals and purple ribbons.

"Yes!" All the lieutenant generals smiled and began to pack up the map materials, and returned to Danlin City with the army to meet the king.

As doctors, they have seen the emperor, but the opportunities are rare. Generally, they only have the opportunity during the annual court session. Even then, those with less luck can only see the prime minister and the state commander.

Now they can be directly received by the monarch as meritorious officials.

"General Meng, is there a chance that the emperor will grant me a surname?" The lieutenant general, who was born a commoner and had no surname or clan name, looked at Meng Tian hesitantly.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at each other. They were both cunning people and understood the little thoughts of this lieutenant general.

It seemed that he was asking them, but in fact he hoped that Meng Tian and Meng Yi would speak for him in front of the king and let him get a surname from the king.

It is the greatest honor to be granted a surname by the king.

"I will ask the king for you!" As their subordinates, and also the team for his future entry into the National Guard Office, Meng Tian had no reason not to help.

"Thank you, General!" The lieutenant general bowed hurriedly to express his gratitude.

Throughout the ages, having a name and a surname is equivalent to having one foot in the ranks of the nobility and powerful.

There are more nameless and surnameless people in the world today. No matter how high the official position is, without a surname, it is still inferior.

That is why many important figures used their official titles as their surnames, such as Sima, Sikong, and Situ.

The others looked at the lieutenant general with envy.

On the top of Danlin City, Yan Yan stood alone on the city wall, but he had the momentum of thousands of soldiers and horses, which frightened the returning army.

"Is this the reason why Your Majesty can guard the empty city alone?" Meng Yi couldn't help but be impressed by the figure on the city wall.

If anyone saw that figure standing on the top of the city wall, they probably wouldn't have the urge to attack!
