Capítulo 1404: Chapter 1404: ng Tian Arrives
“Lord Han will not punish you, and with your current abilities and military achievents, you are bound to receive recognition.” Shangguan Jian knew very well that Ye Shikai now held high prestige among the people, and he was the favored one in Han Hao’s eyes. If his plan succeeded, it would be a great achievent. Even if it failed, no one could propose a better idea, so no matter what, Ye Shikai would not be punished, let alone face any consequences.
However, Shangguan Jian was also curious about what thod Ye Shikai had to make the Wolf Clan soldiers serve the Qin Army, and seeing his confident deanor, it didn’t seem like idle boasting.
“Soone co here.” Ye Shikai clapped his hands, and Man Cang quickly stepped into the barracks.
“Chiliarch, what are your orders?”
“Distribute the prisoners’ rations according to the squad leader standards of the Qin Army, and also, do not insult or curse the prisoners, allow them to move freely within the camp.” Ye Shikai’s words were astonishing, and Man Cang was directly stunned, unable to believe Ye Shikai’s words. Given the limited military rations now, Ye Shikai wanted to treat the Wolf Clan prisoners kindly, which was unprecedented in the Qin Army.
“Chiliarch, those warriors who fought alongside us are living off buns and rice porridge, yet you’re giving good at to these prisoners. I simply can’t understand.” Man Cang was straightforward, and because he had a good relationship with Ye Shikai, he directly voiced his confusion.
“Even with buns and rice porridge, a person can still survive, but if they’re dead, even delicacies in front of them are useless.” Ye Shikai calmly said, “If we can form this cavalry unit, infantry losses could be reduced by thousands, aning thousands more brothers could return ho. For the sake of more families being reunited, what do at and wine matter?”
“Yes, I understand, I’ll go give the orders.” Man Cang nodded, bowed, and turned to leave.
“Old Ye, are you sure this will really work?” Shangguan Jian was still hesitant. Not only refraining from punishing prisoners but actively providing them with wine and at, probably only Ye Shikai would do this.
“Of course, I wouldn’t do a losing trade.” Ye Shikai patted his shoulder. Just as he was about to leave, Han Hao walked in with several generals.
“Shangguan, Ye, you’re both here, just as I have sothing big to discuss with you.”
“If it’s about the cavalry unit, Lord Han, you needn’t say more. Give so ti, I’ll show you the results.”
“Ye, you misunderstand, you’re the commander of the cavalry unit, how to train it is up to you. I’m not here for that.” Ye Shikai hadn’t expected that Han Hao wasn’t here for that, but he couldn’t imagine what else he’d be here for.
“This is indeed a big matter.” Han Hao said seriously, “After reporting the war situation, Great General ng highly approved, so tomorrow he will personally co with his guards for comndation. So tomorrow we all have to go out to welco.”
“Great General ng Tian is coming.” Ye Shikai was quite shocked; he hadn’t expected ng Tian would personally co here. But then again, it wasn’t the first ti he had seen Great General of Qin. Back in Bai Qi’s ruins, he had communicated with the ‘Energy Body’ left behind by Bai Qi. Bai Qi’s inner strength was profound, and though his body was gone, with his cultivation, his soul remained undying, and he even gifted You Xi’s sword to him. Unfortunately, the sword was stored in the Storage Ring, and Ye Shikai currently had no inner strength to activate it.
“Indeed, I can’t believe it, but it’s true. Shows how great our battle achievent is.”
………………
The next day.
“The ng family has long been the Generals’ Family of Great Qin, conquering six countries, expanding territories for Great Qin, and Great General ng is a famous general with illustrious military achievents. His reputation is high in the Wolf Clan. For him to co, Old Ye, it seems you’re not far from promotion.” Shangguan Jian teased on the side. With ng Tian’s noble status, even though he often inspected the border frontlines, since he’s here at the Stone Peak Fortress, Han Hao naturally led the welco party out of the city.
“Don’t talk nonsense. The Wolf Clan plotting with Ma Peng to seize the fortress must be the reason Great General ng is worried and ca.”
Ma Peng’s affair was a wake-up call for ng Tian. Who knows how many more people like Ma Peng there are in the Qin Army? If another ‘Ma Peng’ hands the frontier to the Wolf Clan, wouldn’t the defense line of hundreds of thousands crumble without attack?
“They’re here, quiet down, everyone.” Han Hao continuously urged. ng Tian slowly approached the fortress with his personal guards, his general’s flag visible from afar.
“Dismount and greet.”
As ng Tian drew near, Han Hao imdiately had the warriors dismount, personally stepping forward to greet.
“Deputy Han Hao, leading the fortress troops to await Great General ng.”
Last ti Ye Shikai saw ng Tian from afar, but the distance was too great, making it blurry. This ti he could see clearly, ng Tian was just ten steps away, as expected, dashing and formidable, awe-inspiring in presence.
“Alright, let’s go inside first.” ng Tian waved his horsewhip, leading his personal guard into the fortress.
“Everyone, return.”
In the camp.
“The fortress is a harsh, cold place, without much luxury. Please forgive, Great General.” Han Hao had the warriors prepare wine and at delicacies, even bringing in cooks from Ji County. Though it couldn’t compare to Xianyang Palace, to the soldiers outside, it was already a feast of delicacies.
“Border is tough, no need for such a grand setup.” ng Tian waved his hand, “I’m not hungry now, let the soldiers have the wine and at first.”
“Yes.”
“This…” Han Hao hadn’t expected ng Tian to do this, but dared not complain, only had the soldiers cook more to serve when ng Tian felt hungry.
“I heard this ti it was a strategy from a young commander nad Ye Shikai that slew the Wolf Clan warrior Helian, annihilating 4,000 enemy troops, is that so?” ng Tian went straight to the point.
“Reporting to Great General, indeed.” Han Hao elbowed Ye Shikai, signaling him to respond quickly.
“You look young, how long have you been enlisted?” ng Tian carefully observed Ye Shikai. This young man seed spirited with a rich killing aura in his eyes, though masked, ng Tian, seasoned in battle, could imdiately tell it was a bloodthirsty intent.
“Reporting to Great General ng, just over a month.”
“In such a short ti, achieving such feats, your future is boundless.” ng Tian nodded, “Tell how you ca up with this strategy.”
“Actually, it’s nothing special, just leveraging strengths while avoiding weaknesses. The Wolf Clan can gallop on the prairie relying on their warhorses, but once inside the city, they’re useless.”
