Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 278 Meng Tian actually has a younger sister? !
After taking the sweet potato that Chang Yu handed over, Meng Tian carefully mouthed it lightly.

The entrance is soft, with a line of throat, no burning, sweet and pungent, and the taste is very comfortable!

"It really is good wine!" Meng Tian put down his wine glass, laughed and praised.

Just as everyone was laughing and about to say something, a woman opened the curtain of the tent.

"Brother, are you drinking again?!"

As soon as she walked in, she snatched Meng Tian's wine glass.

Du Zui scolded lightly: "Don't tell me you're not allowed to drink!"

Meng Tian was a little disappointed, and sat in his seat and muttered, "I just had a drink, and finally the three ministers came down from Xianyang."

Hearing that he was a minister from Xianyang, the handsome woman bowed in panic: "Little girl, Meng Yan has seen a few of them."

"Smoke?" Chang Yu was a little dazed

Meng Tian's younger sister? !

Historically, how could Meng Tian have a sister?
wrong!

There may be, but there is no record, but... Impossible!

The other two were not surprised, obviously they already knew about it.

Seeing Chang Yu's expression changed so much, Li Sicai explained softly.

"Meng Yan is not a real sister, but an orphan adopted by Meng Tian during the war."

It's normal for Li Si to know Chang Yu's background and not know that Meng Tian has a younger sister.

Hearing this, Chang Yu suddenly realized, and immediately returned a courtesy to Meng Yan.

Although Meng Yan has never met the ministers of Xianyang City, she always heard Meng Tian talk about it.

At this moment, it's not good to save him, so he returned the wine glass and stared at him: "Only once, don't get drunk, you hear me!"

Regardless of whether he heard it or not, Meng Tian was already overjoyed when the wine glass was handed to him.

Apparently, Meng Yan is normal, and he has suppressed a lot of his pleasure in drinking.

Looking at it like this, Chang Yu and the others shook their heads and laughed.

This is not raising a younger sister, I guess he regrets it every time he can't drink.
"The adults chatted first, and the little girl retreated first." Meng Yan withdrew slowly very politely.

It can be seen from this that Meng Tian usually has strict family education, even though he was picked up, he is very caring, even though he will be taught by her in reverse.
After Meng Yan left, Meng Tian didn't take it seriously, and drank heavily, as if he wanted to drink enough for the night.

However, there are not many sweet potatoes, probably not enough for him to enjoy himself.

After drinking for three rounds, Chang Yu put down his glass and asked in a concentrated voice, "Outside the frontier, what's going on recently?"

Hearing the words, Meng Tian hiccupped first, and then said slowly: "It's just like you know."

"Occasionally, the Huns' cavalry would jump across the border and go south, entering the city to burn, kill and loot their opponents"

"They are very mobile. When I got the news, the city was already in a mess."

"I have led troops into the grasslands outside the territory several times, but I have been repeatedly repelled by them. Generally speaking, our situation is very passive."

Meng Tian's face became serious, and he stared at Chang Yu.

"I heard that Lord Hou made a magical weapon, and that he came here this time mainly to repel the Huns' cavalry. Is it true?"

"That's right." Chang Yu nodded, this kind of thing is not a secret, as a general he must know.

Without going into too many details, Chang Yu went straight to the point: "I need their camps, routes, and even their haunts."

"You don't need to say it, Lord Hou, it's already ready."

Meng Tian was a little drunk, got up staggeringly, went to the bookshelf and pulled out a drawing.

Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly got up to help him, lest he fall down due to drunkenness.

Meng Tian was very surprised, why did Li Si come to help him?

Immediately, he pushed him away, but he fell to the ground, and simply spread out the blueprint to show it.

Chang Yu and Wang Jian didn't mind either, and leaned over to observe the drawings on the ground.

Meng Tian hiccupped, then pointed to the drawing and said, "This is the Great Wall."

When your fingertips slide past the Great Wall, you will find that you are outside the border, but it is not a plain yet, there are stretches of mountains and rivers.

This mountain forest is used as a buffer zone between the Xiongnu and the Great Qin border.

"They are very mobile, and they can walk on the ground even in the mountains."

Although Mengtian's soldiers could also ride horses, they were inferior to the Huns' cavalry.

Basically in the mountains and forests, they couldn't catch up with the Huns cavalry, so it was difficult to control their positions.

"We have scouts who have gone out and followed the horseshoe prints here."

Meng Tian's fingertips slid across the range of mountains and rivers and landed in the plain.

"About fifty miles from here is their camp."

The base camp is deeper and this camp is just a temporary camp.

"Fifty miles? So close?" Chang Yu was a little surprised.

Fifty miles, about 25 kilometers.

Whether it is near or not, it can be said that it is at the door of the house.

"I didn't expect that these Huns were so arrogant!" Wang Jian slapped his palm on the drawing.

Meng Tian was so frightened that he quickly grabbed his hand: "Don't ruin the drawing! This is the only one!"

"Although fifty miles is very close, the mobility of the two sides is not at the same level, so..." Meng Tian scratched his head in embarrassment.

After pondering for a moment, Chang Yu asked again: "Did you hear that this group of Huns cavalry left the camp?"

"That's right." Meng Tian nodded, his fingertips slipped from the Huns' camp, and stopped at the buffer zone of the mountain range: "I lost it here."

After the Xiongnu cavalry entered the forest, even if there were traces, they would not be able to catch up.

For one thing, the mountains and forests are too risky, and they will fall down in minutes when encountering wild animals.

Secondly, if they chased him down, wouldn't they know about it and kill him instead?

Scouts are good players, if one is lost, it will be a very big loss, and the intelligence will be blocked as a result.

"They have entered the forest since yesterday, and have not appeared until now."

Meng Tian marked the area of ​​the forest and sighed softly: "With such a long border, I don't know where they will appear."

"Right now, we are very passive, either waiting for them to show up, or waiting for nearby towns to come for help."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Although I was prepared in my heart, I didn't expect that I would be so passive. I just blindfolded and tried my luck!
Meng Tian has already explained the current situation, and Chang Yu and the others will take over next.

Forget about the battle plan. We haven’t met anyone yet. How can we talk about the battle plan?
Getting up from the ground, Chang Yu stretched his waist, and asked Wang Jian: "The general has fought for many years, have you ever encountered such a situation?"

"A lot." Wang Jian said solemnly: "This is the most passive time."

In war, take the initiative to attack, and the winning rate is great.

Instead of waiting for others to make the first move, he hurriedly counterattacks.

From the very beginning, he was passive, so how could he come back against the wind?

Not only did Wang Jian suffer from headaches, but Li Si and Chang Yu also suffered from headaches.

They came, but they ran away without knowing it, so they could only passively wait for them to appear.

If during the period, they went to a certain town to burn, kill and loot
Then the people's trust in Daqin's army may have dropped a lot.

"What a headache, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Meng Tian took the initiative to pour wine for them: "I have had a headache for many days in this situation."

"It's useless to be anxious. Let's wait until tomorrow if there is any news from the scouts."

Although I feel helpless, I have no choice but to wait.
