"Your Majesty, although the Huanrong are small, they dare to openly provoke our Qin state. If they are not severely punished, other foreign tribes may follow suit, and then our Qin borders will never have peace." The evil man's voice was firm and powerful, revealing a certain determination.
The ministers all nodded in agreement and echoed, "General Efu's words are reasonable; we second that opinion."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he stood up and angrily said, "The people of Qin are of strong character and cannot bend their backs."
"From this day forward, the diplomatic relations between Qin and the State shall not be based on words, but on the sword of Qin."
The wicked man was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will return immediately to gather my brothers and will certainly not fail in my mission!"
None of the ministers present stood up to object. Despite their infighting in the court, they would unite against a common enemy.
The wicked man turned to leave, but then seemed to remember something, stopped and turned back, saying, "Your Majesty, in this operation I will exterminate all the Huan Rong, leaving no survivors, to deter those covetous foreign tribes."
"I, the wicked husband, will teach them a lesson they won't forget, and let them know that the iron cavalry of my Great Qin can crush them and exterminate their race at any time!"
Ying Zheng and the people in the hall were both stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "That's how it should be."
"Alright, just you wait and see!" The wicked man revealed his signature cold smile again, turned around and strode away.
After he left, Ying Zheng smiled with a hint of helplessness and said, "That wicked man is really a busybody for my Qin state. Tonight's victory banquet is going to be interesting. What's going on without our greatest contributor?"
Li Si looked on with admiration and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, General Judgment is just like that. He can't tolerate the slightest imperfection, which gives me the feeling that he is detached from fame and fortune."
These words resonated with the ministers, who all nodded in agreement.
If I were to achieve such merit, I would never take it lightly like that wicked husband; I would definitely make a good impression.
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with the wicked man's point of view. He thought to himself, "What more could a king ask for than such a good minister?"
...
The wicked man left the palace and returned to his residence, sending men to summon Meng Tian and Wang Li. He also dispatched men to Zhushan to mobilize the Black Dragon Armored Army and Zhang Han and others to meet at the Lantian camp. Then he donned his armor and sharpened his sword, waiting for the two men to arrive before setting off to the Lantian camp to mobilize troops.
A moment later, the two walked quickly side by side.
"Big brother, we're here. Shall we go?"
Hearing the voice, the wicked man looked up at the two men, who were dressed in armor and had swords at their waists. He exclaimed in surprise, "You..."
The two exchanged a smile and said in unison, "Even a fool would know you wouldn't let them go. We went back and made preparations after you left."
"Good, good, good!" The wicked man gave the two a thumbs up, then his smile faded and he said, "Since that's the case, let's set off quickly. This time, I'll take you two to broaden your horizons and earn some military merits, so as not to embarrass me as the elder brother."
The two grinned foolishly, nodded vigorously, and followed the wicked husband onto the carriage, heading straight for the Lantian camp outside the city.
...
"The wicked general has arrived!"
When the carriage came to a steady stop at the entrance of the Lantian camp, the soldiers stationed outside the camp immediately shouted loudly and sent someone to inform Meng Wu, the military commander stationed inside the camp.
A short while later, Meng Wu arrived quickly.
"We have met General Meng Wu." The three wicked men bowed and greeted him.
Meng Wu approached with a smile, grabbed his husband's hand, and led him into the camp. He didn't forget to ask, "Why aren't you in the palace attending the King's banquet? What are you doing here at the Lantian camp?" He completely ignored his son Meng Tian and Wang Li.
The wicked man stood firm, slightly pulling away from Meng Wu's hand, and loudly proclaimed, "By order of the King, the Huan Rong are blocking the trade routes of Great Qin. I shall immediately dispatch 20,000 cavalrymen under my command to annihilate them."
Meng Wu was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously cupped his hands and said, "This humble general will obey Your Majesty's orders."
"General, this is troublesome." The wicked man cupped his hands in greeting once more.
Meng Wu snapped out of his daze and hurriedly ordered his personal guards to summon and select cavalry. Then he glanced at Meng Tian and Wang Li standing behind him and asked, "Who are you planning to select? Are you going to take these two lads with you?"
The wicked man nodded and laughed, "The mere Huan Rong are nothing to worry about. As their elder brother, I should naturally help them out. This battle is just right."
Meng Wu hesitated, but thinking of his son's future, he ultimately chose to remain silent.
"Father, rest assured, your son will never disgrace you and Grandpa." Meng Tian thought his father was worried about his safety, and his tone was very touched.
To everyone's surprise, Meng Wu stammered out, "I was worried that you two boys would be hurt... going out with that wicked husband, alas..."
Okay, okay.
Meng Tian and Wang Li were speechless. They were both young people. Even if they were not as good as the evil man, they should not look down on them so much.
Silence fell over the scene, with only the distant sounds of horses' hooves and footsteps echoing from within the camp.
The army assembled very quickly, in less than half an incense stick's time.
The soldiers all looked at the wicked man with burning eyes, their faces filled with excitement. Today, the triumphant army was returning, and the news of the wicked man's victory in attacking Wei had already spread. Now everyone wanted to follow the wicked man into battle, to make merit and be promoted.
At this moment, a guard rushed over and shouted, "General, the Black Dragon Armored Army has arrived outside the camp."
The wicked man nodded upon hearing this, and without further ado, mounted his horse, drew his long iron sword from his waist, and shouted, "Let's go to war!!"
Whoosh!
The soldiers mounted their horses in unison and followed the wicked man out of the camp.
Meng Wu watched the group leave, muttering to himself, "My son, please be careful."
Knowing his husband's style of military campaigns, as a father, he was ultimately worried about his son's safety.
Outside the Lantian military camp.
Zhang Han and his men waited in front of the army formation. When they saw the wicked man drive out of the camp, they immediately ordered the Black Dragon Armored Army to follow.
As an elite force trained by a wicked husband, there is no need for further explanation.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded into the distance, and the group of people disappeared into the night.
...
Two days later, in the afternoon.
The evil man waved his hand to signal the army to stop, looked at the distant, continuous mountains, and said, "According to Wu Shilu, less than fifty li ahead is the place where the Huanrong tribe is located."
Wang Li and Meng Tian also looked up at the mountains and nodded, saying, "That's right, the tallest mountain in the distance must be Lagu Mountain."
The wicked man spoke very quickly: "You two will each lead five thousand men and split into two groups to flank them from the left and right, while I will lead the Black Dragon Armored Army to attack them head-on."
"Is there a problem?"
He didn't take the mere Huanrong people seriously at all, only seeking to end the battle quickly. If it weren't for training the two of them, he wouldn't have brought these 10,000 cavalrymen at all; the Black Dragon Armored Army alone would have been enough.
The two were overjoyed and nodded quickly, saying, "No problem, General, please rest assured."
"Walk!"
"The entire army must accelerate and strive to resolve the battle before nightfall."
"We are here solely to exterminate our race; we must show no mercy whatsoever!"
