Chapter 835

~5 min read 994 words

The generals were unhappy.

They all began to hurl insults at Han Xin.

"Can't you just get to the point, kid?"

"You went to Xianyang City once, and you've learned how to keep people in suspense?"

Meng Tian couldn't watch anymore either and glanced at Han Xin.

Han Xin gave a sheepish smile; he just wanted to tease this group of people.

Now that Grand General Meng Tian has also intervened, he has to get to the point.

"Grand General, we have arrived."

"How about we dismount and talk."

Han Xin looked at the border defense camp that was close at hand and dismounted directly.

This scene left the other generals completely confused.

But wanting to know the answer, they had no choice but to dismount.

Meng Tian and the others were helpless and had no choice but to dismount.

The main force following behind Han Xin entered the military camp in a grand manner.

Meng Tian and the others were speechless and looked at Han Xin with great displeasure.

This kid has too many things going on, he's so dawdling.

Just as Meng Tian and the others were losing their patience, Han Xin finally spoke.

"Inside here is all grain and fodder, with a small amount of weapons."

"We are going to fight the Xiongnu."

"This is the decree of His Majesty and the Crown Prince."

Han Xin's eyes were burning with intensity as he said this loudly to those present.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tian and the others were completely stunned.

Going to attack the Xiongnu?

Isn't this too sudden?

However, if they weren't going to attack the Xiongnu, why bring so many supplies?

This is truly a huge surprise.

This... these supplies are quite numerous!

It is so dense that it stretches as far as the eye can see.

Is Great Qin's grain now so abundant?

Thinking of the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and rice.

Many people became excited immediately.

After all, in these past few days, they had already swept the area around the Great Wall.

Apart from going further distances, the rest of the time could only be spent resting.

They had originally planned to rest, but now it seems there is no need to rest.

Once the supplies are handled, they can head straight to the great grasslands.

This made many people's hearts race with excitement.

The sweeping they had done these past few days was for the sake of being able to launch a full-scale attack one day.

Now that the opportunity has come, how could they not be excited?

"Great, finally we are going to fight the Xiongnu."

"Wouldn't promotion and titles be within easy reach?"

"Now that our troops are strong and our horses are sturdy, it's a good time to fight the Xiongnu."

"We will definitely be able to beat the Xiongnu to a pulp."

Every general's face was filled with a kind of fanaticism.

They had waited too long for this moment.

"It seems there are many unfamiliar faces in the transport procession; what is going on?"

Some soldiers noticed that those were not all people from the border defense army.

Therefore, they looked at Han Xin with curiosity.

Han Xin laughed: "Our people couldn't transport so many supplies."

"The Crown Prince sent an additional one hundred thousand new recruits to help with the transport."

"So, the supplies this time are very sufficient."

Han Xin's words made everything clear.

So that's how it is; no wonder there were so many new faces.

"Han Xin, the inspector this time wouldn't be you, would it?"

Deputy General Zhao looked at Han Xin with suspicion.

Every time the army is dispatched, the higher-ups will definitely send an inspector to supervise the war.

Now, apart from Han Xin, there is no sign of any inspector arriving.

This inevitably makes people suspicious.

Could it be that the Crown Prince has given this position to Han Xin?

The duties of an inspector are not insignificant; it is to supervise whether the generals are slacking off or rebelling.

Most importantly, the inspector's duty is to supervise the soldiers in completing the tasks once the higher-ups have issued orders.

This is the inspector's duty, but they cannot interfere with the fighting; they can only report it up.

Therefore, the inspector's duty is not small; if generals offend the inspector, sometimes they will be given a hard time.

His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang will only send people he trusts to act as inspectors to supervise the soldiers.

"How is that possible."

"I, Han Xin, am just a small deputy general."

"How could His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang let me be an inspector."

Han Xin shook his head like a rattle.

Meng Tian and the others were also a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

If Han Xin were the inspector, that would be beneficial for them.

After all, everyone is so familiar with each other, but now Han Xin says he is not.

This made everyone start to speculate.

They don't know who will be the inspector.

Every time, the inspector is dispatched from the court as a civil or military official.

This time it might be the same as in the past.

Hopefully, they won't be too difficult to deal with.

"You don't need to speculate randomly."

"And you don't need to worry about anything."

"I guess that perhaps the inspector this time might be the Crown Prince himself."

Han Xin looked at the silent crowd and laughed directly.

Meng Tian and the others looked at Han Xin in unison.

Their faces showed confusion and a hint of excitement.

If the Crown Prince were to come in person.

That would be a good thing; they haven't seen the Crown Prince for some time.

"How do you know?"

"Did the Crown Prince say so?"

"Otherwise, how did you guess?"

A group of people surrounded Han Xin.

The fire of gossip was burning fiercely.

"Don't be so excited."

"I'm just guessing."
