180: Heaven and Earth, bless our Great Qin

It was the twelfth day of the first month in the thirty-third year of The First Emperor's reign.

Though the festive atmosphere of the New Year hadn't completely faded, the Army had already begun its tense mobilization.

Before the Army moved, provisions went first, and preparations had already begun in the rear.

Lin Yue and She Jian followed Wang Li into the main tent within the Fushi County City Military Camp.

Over the past two months, Lin Yue's Martial Power had increased slightly thanks to the 'Killing God Art.' Additionally, he sparred with Zhao Yun daily, practiced archery, and with the help of xuan yuan pill, his Martial Power increased by 6 points, reaching the High-level Military General realm just a few days prior.

At the same time, he had studied all thirteen chapters of 'The Art of War,' and now each chapter of The Art of War had reached a state of complete familiarity.

As for Intelligence and Politics, Lin Yue also found some books to read in his spare time, but the effect was not significant, only increasing by a few points.

However, for a player, this speed was already very fast!

"Everyone is here, so I'll begin." General Meng Tian said after the Generals had taken their seats.

Then, General Meng Tian turned and pointed to the map in the center of the main tent, saying:

"Thirty years ago, Zhao State's famous general Li Mu engaged in a fierce battle with the Xiongnu people in Da county, utterly defeating them, and the Xiongnu people Army was annihilated.

The current Touman Chanyu also fled far into the desert with his father and brothers at that time!"

When the Great General mentioned Zhao State's famous general Li Mu, all the Generals couldn't help but nod, their faces filled with admiration.

Nothing else, his battle record was simply too formidable!

Not only did he treat the Xiongnu people like his sons, but even The First Emperor was helpless against him.

When Great Qin General Huan Yi attacked Zhao, he advanced like a hot knife through butter.

Li Mu was recalled to the front line in a time of crisis, faced danger without fear, and ultimately shattered the Qin Army at Fei Xia!

The following year, facing a two-pronged siege by the Qin Army, he again defeated the northern Qin Army in the Battle of Fan Wu, scaring the southern Qin Army into retreating after a brief skirmish, not daring to engage him.

Even later, when Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe attacked from two directions, Wang Jian suggested that The First Emperor employ a scheme of alienation, ultimately bribing Zhao King's close minister Guo Kai with the scheme of alienation, and only after Zhao King Qian executed Li Mu did they seize the opportunity to attack and conquer Zhao State.

Some people present had participated in the aforementioned battles, and even if they hadn't, they had heard about them from their elders at home.

Therefore, although Li Mu was an opponent, the Generals held him in immense respect!

General Meng Tian saw the reactions of the crowd, then said in a deep voice:

"Later, Touman took advantage of His Majesty's unification of the six states to gradually move south and encroach upon the grasslands, and now he has crossed the Yinshan Mountains and occupied the Ordos Loop region.

The Ordos Loop region is only a few days' journey from the imperial capital, Xianyang City,

Placing His Majesty in danger is a disgrace to us soldiers!"

The Generals' expressions stiffened, and General Meng Tian's finger continued to point at the map as he said:

"So what we must do this time is to attack the Xiongnu people in the north and completely shatter this threat!" General Meng Tian said in a deep voice!

"Yang Wengzi!"

"This humble general is here!" Yang Wengzi replied.

"For this expedition, we will divide our Army into two routes!

I will lead the Army from Fushi County City, through Yulin, and into the northern Ordos Loop!

And you will lead the Army from Xiaoguan and enter the southern Ordos Loop." General Meng Tian pointed at the map, drawing a route.

"Understood!" Yang Wengzi replied with an excited expression!

"Wang Li, Dong Zhuo! Zhao Ben!"

"This humble general is here!" The three stood up and replied, their expressions serious.

Especially Dong Zhuo, whose face no longer held its usual playful expression, his eyes filled with battle intent!

"Dong Zhuo will be the Left Army, Wang Li the Right Army!

Zhao Ben will be the Central Army, and will go on this expedition with me!"

"Understood!" The three replied!

"What we must do this time is to completely sweep and clear out all Xiongnu people tribes in the Ordos Loop region before summer!

There must not be a single Xiongnu people visible in the Ordos Loop region!

What Li Mu could do back then, there's no reason why our Great Wall Legion cannot do!" General Meng Tian said in a deep voice, his eyes revealing intense battle intent.

"Understood! This humble general will not fail in his mission!" The Generals replied with excited expressions!

Then, Prince Fusu, who was the Supervisor, also stood up and said:

"Serve wine to the Generals."

Immediately, attendants brought goblets of wine to the Generals.

As it was the Prince bestowing wine, everyone stood up to receive it.

Fusu then said:

"The Generals, fearless in death, have fought countless battles to repay the nation, guarding the frontier amidst cold winds and snow, thereby ensuring the peace of our Great Qin's borders!

I toast you on behalf of my Imperial Father, and on behalf of the common people of the world!"

Upon hearing these words, all the Generals could not hide their excitement, but there was also a hint of sadness mixed in.

If not for the sake of the people behind them, who would not wish to be with their parents, wives, and children?

But it was precisely for the sake of the great nation and their own small families that they would not fear death, dedicating their lives to the country!

"Heaven and Earth, protect our Great Qin!"

Fusu said in a deep voice, raising his goblet in a distant toast to the Generals.

The Generals also followed, shouting: "Heaven and Earth, protect our Great Qin!"

Then they raised their goblets and drank it all in one gulp!
