Chapter 740: A bountiful harvest, beginning the escort

"Speak up."

"Who is going back this time?"

Meng Tian looked at the crowd.

He had no chance to go back for the time being.

He could only leave the opportunity to the others.

At this moment, they all became quiet.

Some of them hadn't been back to Xianyang City for some time.

Some had no home to return to, so it made no difference whether they went back or not.

Some had a home to return to, but they often exchanged letters.

But fortunately, there was time for leave to go back.

They could go home every few months, so it wasn't very urgent.

At this time, without exception, all the generals looked at Han Xin.

"You... why are you looking at me like that?"

Han Xin's scalp tingled; nothing good ever came from this group looking at him.

The last time they looked at him collectively, he was sent to do manual labor.

This time they were looking at him again; it seemed they wanted him to return to Xianyang.

"You kid really are oblivious."

"Aren't we all giving you a chance to go back?"

"I heard you have a young wife waiting for you at home."

"And it's the kind where you haven't been together for long."

"Now that there's such a good opportunity, don't you plan to go back and see her?"

"If you don't go back, your young wife will be guarding an empty room for so long; don't let someone else take advantage of that."

The generals looked at Han Xin and started chuckling wickedly.

Hearing this, a rare, warm smile appeared on Han Xin's face.

He had been out for quite some time now.

Ji Tao had been waiting for him in Xianyang City all this time.

If there was a chance to go back, it wouldn't be impossible.

To be honest, he also wanted to go back for a trip.

Before, he didn't dare to go back because he was afraid of failing the Prince's cultivation.

He had been working hard at the border to kill the enemy.

Now, he could be considered to have achieved a little success.

He had even captured Seeing Maoshi.

If he went back, he probably wouldn't lose face for the Prince, right?

Thinking of this, Han Xin looked at the crowd.

"Are you really not going back?"

"Do you all want to leave the opportunity to me?"

The other generals laughed.

"We have leave time; it's not like we haven't been back."

"But you have been at the border for several months, and we haven't seen you go back once."

"And among the higher-ups, you're the only one with a young wife waiting at home."

"This opportunity is naturally left for you."

"This is what you deserve; if we were to fight over such an opportunity, it would be too heartless."

The generals pushed the offer away, just wanting Han Xin to go back.

Han Xin was inexplicably moved.

He took a few steps back and bowed to the crowd.

"Thank you all."

"Thank you for letting me have this opportunity."

"Then I won't decline; it is time to go back and see."

Han Xin bowed deeply, thanking this group of people from the bottom of his heart.

"Alright, alright, don't be so sentimental."

"This opportunity is something you earned yourself."

"If you hadn't established so much merit here,"

"this opportunity wouldn't have come to you."

Meng Tian also smiled and teased him a few times.

The final decision was to let Han Xin guard this group of people back to Lishan.

To prevent the Xiongnu from escaping halfway, twenty thousand Great Qin soldiers would accompany them.

As for the remaining border defense army, only one hundred thousand would be left.

This was also the emptiest time.

But fortunately, Great Qin's warhorses were gradually increasing.

The captured spoils and the exchanged warhorses totaled nearly two hundred thousand!

The one hundred thousand soldiers left behind were all cavalry!

In this way, one hundred thousand highly mobile cavalry remaining here could strictly prevent emergencies.

The remaining one hundred and thirty thousand cavalry would follow Han Xin back to Lishan.

Now, of the three hundred thousand border defense troops, only about seventy thousand infantry remained.

Soon, they could all be upgraded to cavalry.

Because this was the border grassland, the role of infantry was not as good as cavalry.

If there was a chance to upgrade everyone to cavalry, that would be a great thing.

This was also something Meng Tian and the others were striving to complete.

This was also an unprecedented event.

Without realizing it, there were so many warhorses.

This harvest made them incomparably satisfied!

It seemed that ever since Prince Ying Ying Zi Ye arrived,

their border defense army had begun to upgrade their equipment.

This harvest made countless border defense soldiers ecstatic.

Without realizing it, they had all become cavalry.

At the border, the combat capability of cavalry was much stronger than that of infantry.

This was also the main reason they wanted to upgrade to cavalry.

It wasn't until the early afternoon that Han Xin led the main force to set off.

A massive team of nearly forty thousand people walked on the imperial highway.

The team was vast and stretched for dozens of miles.

This was absolutely unprecedented.

This was also the time they were guarding the most foreigners.

This grand scene was enough for people to remember for a lifetime.

All the Xiongnu were gathered in the middle.

On the periphery were Great Qin infantry and cavalry, surrounding the people as they walked.

Even Seeing Maoshi received no special treatment; everyone was on foot. ===== CHAPTER 742 =====
