Chapter 576: Chapter 239: A Major Victory! The Nation Rejoices! Ying Zheng’s Delight: That Boy Finally Returned!

Tu’an shares a border with Donghu.

Naturally, there are spies planted within Donghu’s territory.

If anything significant happens in Donghu, the news is immediately relayed to Tu’an.

Thus, in recent months, there have been continuous unusual movements in Donghu, with constant troop mobilizations and gathering of supplies.

At first,

King Tu’an felt that Donghu was planning to move against Tu’an.

But as time passed,

one month, two months, three months,

now as it approaches four months, Donghu still has not mobilized against Tu’an.

Previously,

information from Donghu suggested that their mobilization was to counter the Qin nation, to confront the Qin Army invading their territory.

Upon hearing this news,

Jin Feng initially thought it was false information.

But now,

seeing with his own eyes the Qin Army advancing from within Donghu’s territory towards Tu’an, Jin Feng had to believe it.

The information was true.

“General Jin.”

“The Qin Army is approaching our border city, what should we do?”

Seeing the Qin Army drawing nearer, a commander asked.

“Do not engage yet.”

“These Qin troops are cavalry, they pose no threat to our city.”

“Moreover, Qin has no grievance with Tu’an.”

Raising his hand, Jin Feng said in a deep voice.

“Understood.”

The commander beside him nodded.

He immediately ordered the soldiers on the city wall who had drawn their bows to put them down: “Lower your bows.”

The soldiers naturally complied, putting away their bows.

Jin Feng watched as the Qin Army drew closer and closer.

Finally,

when the Qin Army was less than a hundred zhang away from the Tu’an Border City, they suddenly halted completely.

The horses, without riders, also stopped.

“General,”

“ahead should be the Tu’an Border City.”

“If we wish to cross through Tu’an territory, we must pass through this border city, entering uninvited might provoke Tu’an.”

A trusted aide beside Zhang Han said.

“Tu’an is just a small nation.”

“Go over there and declare that our army wishes to transit through Tu’an, and we mean no hostility to Tu’an,” Zhang Han said solemnly.

“Understood.”

The Personal Guard Commander responded immediately.

Then he spurred his horse and galloped towards the Tu’an Border City.

Upon reaching the city walls,

the Personal Guard Commander shouted loudly: “Under the command of General Zhang Han of the First Main Camp of Great Qin’s Wu’an Battalion, who is the commander within this city?”

Hearing this,

the Tu’an commanders on the city wall looked shocked.

“It truly is the Qin Army.”

“The Wu’an Battalion of Qin.”

“That’s known as the strongest battalion of Qin.”

“The Wu’an Battalion’s General Zhao Feng, he’s the God of Slaughter.”

“It is said that many powerful nations of Shenzhou have perished at Zhao Feng’s hands.”

…

The numerous Tu’an commanders couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.

As a small border nation adjacent to Shenzhou, even they knew of Zhao Feng’s formidable reputation, indicating how far Zhao Feng’s renown had spread.

All of Shenzhou knew.

After all, this reputation was built through genuine battles.

Not an ounce of exaggeration.

The commanders who perished at Zhao Feng’s hands were all renowned, incomparable to Tu’an.

“Jin Feng, the Great General of Tu’an, is ordered to guard the border city.”

Jin Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he addressed the Personal Guard Commander below.

“The Wu’an Battalion is ordered to engage Donghu, and having achieved our objectives, we need to return to Qin through Tu’an.”

“May we pass through Tu’an?” the Personal Guard Commander clasped his fists and asked.

Upon hearing this.

Jin Feng’s expression slightly changed.

Looking at the thousands of troops and horses before the city, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

“This matter, I cannot decide on my own.”

“I must consult our king first.” Jin Feng pondered for a moment and loudly replied.

“How long will it take?” the Personal Guard Commander asked directly.

“At the fastest, ten days.” Jin Feng replied immediately.

Upon hearing this!

The Personal Guard Commander frowned: “The opportunity for battle will be lost, our army cannot wait ten days.”

“Without my king’s orders, I dare not allow your army to pass.” Jin Feng replied immediately.

But upon saying this.

The numerous Tu’an commanders looked anxiously at Jin Feng.

“General.”

“Will this not offend Qin?”

“Qin’s national power is strong, perhaps one day they will unify Shenzhou.”

“If we do not allow the Qin Army to pass through, we will offend Qin.”

“If Qin decides to attack Tu’an one day, we won’t be able to resist.”

Many commanders urged Jin Feng, evidently hoping he would agree to let them through.

After all, Qin and Tu’an have no enmity, and offending Qin over this is not worthwhile.

“Silence.”

“If Qin harbors any intentions towards Tu’an, who among you will bear this sin?” Jin Feng turned and scolded angrily.

Seeing this.

The face of the Personal Guard Commander below grew cold: “So, General will not allow our army to pass?”

“We must have the king’s consent.”

“Please understand.” Jin Feng replied with the same words.

“Good, very well.”

“This matter, the Wu’an Battalion will remember.” The Personal Guard Commander glanced at Jin Feng, spoke coldly, and

then urged his horse back towards the army formation.

“General Jin.”

“Are you truly going to provoke Qin over this?”

“This could bring disaster.”

“Qin will undoubtedly use this as a pretext against Tu’an in the future.”

“Qin easily defeated Donghu; dealing with Tu’an would be even easier.”

“Please reconsider, General.”

“General…”

The Tu’an commanders were panicking, collectively pleading with Jin Feng.

“Silence.”

“I have said.”

“This matter requires the king’s consent; if I allow the Qin Army to enter on my account, what if they attack Tu’an?” Jin Feng replied stubbornly.

Evidently,

Judging by his demeanor, he did not wish to bear such heavy responsibility. If his decision to let them in led to a Qin attack, he would bear the greatest blame.

As the Great General of Tu’an, he must consider carefully and act prudently.
