Chapter 833

"I won't be coming out tomorrow for the time being."

"This time it's only to train the soldiers in horsemanship and archery."

"It's not that we truly want to attack the Great Xiongnu."

"Han Xin and the others haven't returned yet; it wouldn't be appropriate for just us few to go fight the Great Xiongnu."

General Meng Tian was not doing these things without reason.

Every time he came out onto the great grassland, the soldiers were different.

The purpose was to train horsemanship and archery—not to come out here for fun.

Sweeping the surrounding area could only be said to be for training purposes.

Besides, there's no need to run that far; after all, orders from above haven't been issued yet.

Deputy General Zhao thought about it and figured that was right—how much would one have to look down on the Great Xiongnu to dare go fight them with so few men?

In the end, they returned to the foot of the Great Wall.

And it was at this very moment.

A cavalryman burst out from within the Great Wall.

He charged swiftly up to General Meng Tian and the others before finally stopping.

"Report!"

"Grand General, Han Xin and the others are about to arrive at the garrison camp on the frontier."

The moment the soldier said this, General Meng Tian and the others were instantly stunned.

They've finally waited for them to return, have they?

The time it took them to return this time was a bit long.

"Speaking of which, the time it took them to return this time is much longer than the time it took to go."

"Why did the return trip take so long?"

"Could it be that they didn't come back empty-handed?"

"I don't know, but in any case, escorting captives shouldn't take that long either."

"The time it took them to return this time really was a bit too long."

The generals began to discuss it animatedly.

At this moment, the messenger soldier spoke up.

"Honored generals, Deputy General Han and the others did not return empty-handed."

"Their ranks are extremely massive; they've transported a great many things."

The soldier's words captured the attention of General Meng Tian and the others.

They brought things back too?

And an extremely massive ranks at that?

No wonder the return trip took so long.

They had all been starting to think Han Xin and the others had slipped off to play along the way.

Perhaps there might be an unexpected surprise—it's not certain.

"Let's go, we've got nothing to do; let's go welcome them."

General Meng Tian cut off the crowd—guessing here was not as good as going to see what the situation was.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen began to enter the Great Wall, following the soldier's warhorse as they charged off in one direction.

When General Meng Tian and the others arrived at a tall earthen slope.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before their eyes.

Within their line of sight, a transport ranks stretching as far as the eye could see.

So dense one could not see the end!

This really was too much.

"Wha... what is all this?"

"Why does it feel like they've moved half of Xianyang City over here?"

"There are way too many of these things, aren't there?"

"Weapons or provisions?"

"Who cares what it is—let's just go down and take a look, then we'll know."

"Right, right, right, what's there to guess about? We're all here already."

A group of officers and men looked utterly thrilled.

No matter what was being transported, as long as there was a lot of it, that was all that mattered.

Since the goods had all been transported here, they must certainly be useful.

General Meng Tian was also completely baffled.

Because he had not received any related news.

Now, suddenly, so many things had been transported over.

He felt something was out of the ordinary—perhaps... something major was about to happen.

"Let's go, go down and take a look."

General Meng Tian charged down ahead of the rest.

The officers and men behind him followed closely.

Han Xin and the others had long since spotted cavalry on the hillside.

They had even taken out binoculars to observe.

Upon learning it was General Meng Tian and the others, he finally set his mind at ease.

Now seeing Grand General Meng Tian charging over.

Han Xin and the others all came to a halt.

"Greetings, Grand General."

Han Xin and the others offered a salute from horseback.

"No need for such ceremony, speak as we ride—don't let the column stop."

Meng Tian waved a hand, signaling the cavalry toward the garrison camp of the frontier army.

Han Xin was a bit dumbfounded—this Grand General Meng Tian really was swift and decisive.

Talking on the road, that was truly bizarre.

Han Xin signaled the column to set out again.

Then he urged his horse forward to Meng Tian's side.

"You lad did well, wasn't it? A round trip of nearly two months."

"And the return journey took even longer—what on earth is all this cargo?"

"What have you been up to? Out with it."

Before Meng Tian could speak, Deputy General Zhao at his side could no longer hold back and chimed in.

The soldiers riding alongside immediately fell silent, all growing curious.

They too were eager to know what those things were.

"These? Well, they're no small matter."

"For the sake of these things, the return trip took a great deal of time."

"And we also had to wait around in Xianyang for a while, otherwise we'd have been back long ago."

"So you see, it took that long to get back. Grand General, my sincerest apologies."

Han Xin talked around the subject, never revealing what the cargo was.

Making everyone watching grind their teeth in frustration.
