Chapter 1216: Xiongnu envoy, million soldiers?

~3 min read 537 words

Meng Tian was somewhat familiar with His Highness's temperament.

Active, able to endure hardship, strong as an ox, definitely not a flower in a greenhouse.

If His Highness really wanted to come to the border, it seemed normal.

But a war is about to break out here; what is His Highness coming for?

The battle of so many people, the battlefield must be incredibly vast.

If His Highness comes, what should we do if we can't protect him well?

This is not a joke.

It is completely different in nature from the last time Modu brought tens of thousands of Xiongnu to plunder here.

This is a slaughter of hundreds of thousands of troops; individual combat power has no effect at all.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian didn't dare to think further.

Hope Wang Ben's guess is wrong.

After all, His Highness just returned from Nanyue; he shouldn't come to the northern border again immediately.

"Do you have any basis for this guess?"

Meng Tian looked at Wang Ben, wondering how he came up with this guess.

"That's for sure; don't you find it strange?"

"His Highness won't let us launch an attack, wanting to wait for the new soldiers to come before making plans."

"Why is this?"

"There are only two reasons."

Wang Ben stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Meng Tian.

"First, His Highness wants to come here with the new soldiers, just don't know what His Highness wants to do here."

"Second, maybe His Highness has some channel of information, thinking the Xiongnu's force is stronger than ours now."

"Therefore, he won't let us launch an attack first, just fearing that we will suffer."

"These are the two reasons I can think of, and I don't know which one is true."

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Wang Ben was vaguely excited.

Regardless of which guess it was, he felt it was very interesting.

Even when fighting the six kingdoms, there wasn't such a force!

How could he not be excited.

"Your guess..."

Meng Tian was speechless; he could be excited about this?

But thinking of Wang Ben's two guesses, Meng Tian was also a bit helpless.

Whether His Highness follows the new soldiers to the northern border, or the Xiongnu's force is very strong.

Neither of these two guesses would be too good.

Thinking so much now is useless, and there is no plan to wait for the new soldiers to arrive.

"Don't guess for now; who knows what it will evolve into."

Meng Tian said and just wanted to walk down the Great Wall.

But just at this time, a small soldier ran over.

"Grand General, the Xiongnu cavalry are gradually approaching; it looks like they are about to get close to the Great Wall."

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Meng Tian took the telescope from Wang Ben's hand and looked outside the Great Wall.

Sure enough, a cavalry team of several thousand people was galloping towards the Great Wall.

The original Xiongnu cavalry were just wandering in the distance.

They had never intended to get close.

Now they suddenly want to get close; who knows what they want to do.

"Are they trying to provoke us?"
