Shanggu County was first built in the 29th year of King Yan Zhao of the Warring States Period. It got its name because it was built on a large valley. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he also sent people to guard this place and established it as one of the thirty-six counties in the world. This place

The terrain is high, so stationing troops here plays an important role in guarding the border. However, Fusu and others came not to guard this place but to build the Great Wall.

Shanggu County was originally the starting point of the North Great Wall of Yan State, but because Yan State was destroyed by Qin before, no troops were stationed here for a long time. It was not until recent years that the Huns broke through and plundered here, so the court began to think of it.

The original dilapidated Great Wall was built in the bamboo forest, and other sections of the Great Wall were connected at the same time.

Originally, Fusu and Mengtian came here just to take a look and arrange the manpower and work before returning to Shangjun where Mengtian had been guarding. However, due to various reasons along the way, Fusu fell ill, so they had no choice but to return to Shanggu County.

Stayed.

After this period of rest, Fusu has recovered. In fact, it cannot be said that he has recovered, but the soul that has traveled through time has completely harmonized with this body. Fusu also began to accept this new identity, and decided to return to Shangjun.

"Xiao Tao, get ready, we will go back to Shangjun." Fusu ordered Xiao Tao who was washing his clothes. To be honest, Fusu was not used to having a little girl take care of his food and daily life at the beginning.

, but at first he was physically weak and needed to be taken care of, but later he got used to it, so Fusu accepted it calmly.

Xiao Tao hurriedly stopped what she was doing and agreed.

"You should rest early today. You will start your journey tomorrow." After saying this, Fusu did push-ups beside the couch. After all, he had been in the military for several years, so he still paid great attention to physical exercise.

Since there was no formal exercise equipment, he could only increase the amount of exercise through freehand exercises. Xiao Tao watched his movements curiously.

Except for Fusu's excitement when he woke up that day, Xiaotao treated him respectfully after that. After all, although the two of them spent a lot of time together, their identities were still very different.

When Fusu reached the 172nd push-up count, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Oh no, the Huns are coming to attack!"

Hearing the cry, Fusu immediately stood up, put on some clothes and ran out, asking: "What's going on?"

A guard next to him hurriedly ran over and replied: "My eldest prince, there was a report at the city gate that the Huns' cavalry was sighted. Now General Meng is sending people to inquire."

"Oh? Let's go and see General Meng." With that said, Fusu strode towards Meng Tian's room.

Just as he arrived at the door of Meng Tian's main residence, Meng Tian happened to come out of it. He was already fully dressed, wearing thick armor, holding a helmet in his hand, and a long sword hanging on his waist. Seeing Fusu, he hurriedly

When he was about to salute, Fusu hurriedly supported him and said: "General, why do you need to be so polite? It's better to find out first whether the Huns are really invading."

Meng Tian stopped saluting and followed Fusu forward while saying: "The general has just received a report that there are cavalry of unknown origin outside the city, so he sent a sergeant to find out. Since I

After the Qin Dynasty sent troops to garrison the upper valley, the Huns stopped coming here. Maybe some thieves just missed the place without knowing it. Don’t worry, eldest prince."

Fusu smiled and said: "As General Mengtian, the God of War of Great Qin, is here, I understand that the Huns will not dare to invade. But now it is at night, and such news has come again. Let's see what happens and calm down the morale of the army.

.”

After hearing this, Meng Tian nodded in agreement and followed Fusu to the city gate.

Although Shanggu County has a large area under its jurisdiction, it is the first border defense station against the Xiongnu, so there are not too many people there. In addition, this was the old land of the Yan Kingdom, and some people fled, so there are not many people in the city.

It caused a big commotion. However, there were sergeants patrolling the road constantly, which showed that this was not an ordinary time.

Fusu and Mengtian climbed to the top of the city and looked down, only to see a dark patch of darkness outside with no sign of people or horses. "Has anyone gone out to investigate?" Mengtian asked with a frown.

A man dressed as a deputy general replied: "My subordinates have sent two spies out of the city to find out what happened."

Fusu knew from the memory of the original owner of the body that he would not take the initiative to attack when encountering enemies at night, and the city defenders would not aggressively open the city gates and send people out, otherwise they would be very likely to be suddenly attacked by the enemy.

At that time, the city will not be protected.

Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction: "How long have you been sent out?"

"It's been a while. I'll probably report back if there's any news."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rope hanging out of the city suddenly moved a few times. Seeing this movement, several soldiers pulled the rope and pulled the basket back outside the city.

After a while, the basket came up, and there was a man squatting inside. He used his hands to support the city battlements and jumped in. He was very agile. When he came up, he found that there were so many important people on the city wall. He was about to salute, and Fu Su said: "In

Forget these false courtesy at this time, how is it outside?" As he spoke, the big basket was lowered to pick up another spy.

The spy hurriedly replied: "I just noticed a cavalryman appearing in front of the city gate and asked about it, but the man didn't answer, so I thought he was a Huns. However, I and Wang Er went out of the city to look for them, but they didn't find them.

Any sign of the Huns. Maybe... maybe I saw it wrong..." After saying this, his face was full of uneasiness. You must know that lying about military information is a serious crime, not to mention the severe punishment of the Qin Dynasty.

dynasty.

"Maybe it was just a false alarm." After Fusu finished speaking, he patted the spy on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can continue to guard." He turned around and went down the tower. Seeing that Fusu had no intention of pursuing the matter,

Meng Tian didn't have much to say, he just gave a few instructions and then went back with Fusu.

In a small forest outside the city, a dark figure saw the torches at the top of the city slowly extinguished, then jumped onto a horse and headed northwest.

After walking for about ten miles, there were many tents scattered beside a small stream, but most of them were people lying on the spot to rest. They were either naked or wearing only some animal skins.

, all staggered around and fell asleep. When the man arrived, he quickly jumped off his horse and walked quickly towards the largest tent.

This is a tent made of cowhide. There is a lot of space inside, but there are only two people, and there is no decoration or furniture. The two people are sitting on the ground. It seems that this tent only serves to separate the inside and outside.

That's all.

One of the bearded men saw him coming in and asked, "Abba? How is it in Shanggu County?"

The man bowed and sat down on the spot and said, "Their defense seems to be very cautious. I just got a little closer to the city wall when someone asked me who I was, and then someone came out of the city to investigate. Fortunately, I hid first."

stand up."

Big Beard: "This time we secretly came to Shanggu to launch a surprise attack, catch them off guard, and then grab what we need. But obviously the defense here is still very careful. It seems that we want to find the next target.

Already."

Another older man touched his beard and said: "Chief, you are wrong. Because of what happened just now, I suggest you launch an attack on Shanggu County faster. You will definitely be able to defeat them this time."

I was caught off guard."

"What's the point?" the bearded man asked with eyes wide open.

"Think about it, the other party shouldn't be sure that someone is really here. But the commotion just now made their guard not believe that someone would attack them. So they must be careless. And there are spies checking it out.

Without people, their vigilance will be relaxed."

"Well, what you said seems to make sense." The bearded man nodded, "Then when will we take action?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Okay, then I will gather the men and horses to attack Shanggu County immediately." Big Beard said, jumping up from the ground, pulling off the animal skin on his body, and leading the spy out to gather the men and horses.

After seeing them go out, a cold light flashed in the man's eyes, and he murmured: "Qin State, Qin State, you destroyed our Yan State, I, Ji Du, will destroy you even if I am shattered into pieces. Today is just the first time.

Let you pay me back some interest."

The Hun knights outside the tent were all ready, and led by the bearded Harile, they rushed towards Shanggu County.

As Ji Du expected, because someone went out to investigate the situation, Meng Tian and other generals did not arrange more manpower to patrol the night. Only a few people watched from the tower. Because they were leaving to return to Shangjun the next day, they followed

The sergeants from Fusu and Mengtian also went to bed early.

When Fusu was sleeping soundly, a sudden burst of noisy shouts of death and the sound of horse hooves woke him up. He jumped up, rushed out, and asked, "Is it true that the Huns are invading?"

Meng Tian was already dressed neatly and was directing the guards to protect Fusu, saying: "Yes, the eldest prince. Just now, the Huns cavalry attacked our city, and several soldiers who were keeping watch have been killed. There are already county guards in Shanggu.

I have taken my troops to defend the city, and the general will also go to see the situation."

"I'll go too." Fusu said and took the lead. Meng Tian wanted to stop him, but gave up after thinking about it the next year and followed him towards the city head, followed by the two personal guards.

When Fusu came to the city gate, he saw hundreds of soldiers shooting arrows and throwing stones from the top of the city tower. As the arrows and stones fell, screams were heard from below.

Fusu went up to the city tower and looked down under the protection of the soldiers with big shields. He saw countless people on horseback galloping in front of the city, shooting some bows and arrows from time to time. The city tower itself was not high, and those

The Huns were obviously also good at riding and shooting, so arrows were constantly being fired at them. Some soldiers were shot when throwing things down, or were hung on the wall, or fell off. The battle was quite tragic.
