Chapter 920: Reinforcements arrive at the battlefield, the transaction is not yet complete

~3 min read 530 words

"What's the rush?"

"How is the matter of exchanging warhorses going?"

"Is there any progress?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't want to start a war so quickly.

No matter what, he had to get the warhorses in hand before considering the war.

Now both sides' reinforcements had arrived at the battlefield.

Maybe they could start fighting very soon.

"Your Highness, there is no news back yet."

They didn't know if the Great Xiongnu had passed the news back or not.

Meng Tian stood out; he was responsible for this matter.

But there was no news back yet, so he didn't know the situation for the time being.

Meng Tian also knew that since the warhorses hadn't been exchanged yet, how could they attack the Great Xiongnu so quickly?

"You all take it easy; the transaction is not yet complete, the war must be postponed."

"Those one hundred thousand warhorses are not a small number."

Meng Tian glanced at the generals present.

Seeing them like that, they were all impatient.

The generals gave a sheepish smile, knowing this matter was of great importance and could not be sloppy.

Therefore, they dared not contradict the Grand General's words.

"First, pay attention to the movements of the Great Xiongnu reinforcements."

"Report their every move at any time."

"This Prince has a premonition that the Great Xiongnu reinforcements might be about to run away."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was also quite helpless.

To exchange warhorses, one had to send someone to report the news.

Once someone went to report, they would naturally know there were so many people here.

Whether the Great Xiongnu reinforcements would be scared away by then was unknown.

It depended on Chanyu Touman's status in their hearts.

If they cared about Chanyu Touman, they should redeem him.

There were only two paths for the Great Xiongnu reinforcements.

Either give horses to exchange for the person.

Or don't give horses and turn around to run.

This could also be considered something Ying Ying Zi Ye intended.

He hoped the Great Xiongnu reinforcements would know they had so many people here and obediently hand over the one hundred thousand warhorses.

But there was a big problem with this.

If the person leading the team was Modu.

The probability of the latter was too high.

It wouldn't be surprising if they really ran away.

The Great Xiongnu reinforcements were going to run away?

Everyone present, hearing Ying Ying Zi Ye's words, was somewhat stunned.

What was the situation?

Why were they suddenly going to run away?

Were they not saving their King anymore?

Could it be that because the Qin cavalry was too numerous, they didn't even want their own King?

"Your Highness, why do you say that?"

"Did something happen?"

How did His Highness guess that?

Before Meng Tian and the others could ask much.

An urgent voice came from outside the tent.

"Report!"

A soldier quickly walked into the tent and bowed to the people present.

"Greetings, Crown Prince, greetings, Generals."

"News has come from the Great Xiongnu reinforcements ahead."

Meng Tian and the others, upon hearing this, felt their bodies shake slightly.

Finally, news had come.

"What news?"

"Speak quickly."
