Chapter 578: Chapter 239: Great Victory! The Whole Nation Rejoices! Ying Zheng’s Joy: This Kid Finally Came Back! (3)
“General Zhao Feng must have done something remarkable among the foreign tribes.”
“Definitely.”
“Do you think General Zhao Feng might have killed the King of Donghu?”
“Hahaha, by saying so, if the King of Donghu is really dead, then General Zhao Feng’s achievements truly shock the world. With only ten thousand cavalry, he charges into the foreign tribes and slain their king. Which commander in the world could achieve that?”
“You’re wrong about that.”
“Even if the general did not decapitate the foreign king, his fame spreads across the world. Just these past months, Zhao Feng has crushed dozens of foreign tribes, killing hundreds of thousands. Which war general could match such achievements?”
“Indeed…”
Knowing that Zhao Feng is safe and sound.
The people began to passionately discuss the results of this battle once more.
To warrant the phrase great victory, the achievements must be remarkable.
…
The Royal Palace!
The Morning Discussion Hall!
Looking at the messenger in front.
All ministers’ eyes showed a hint of expectation.
For them.
Their minds had already settled.
Because so much time had passed,
Every time news came back, it was a victory.
Each time, the foreign tribes suffered a major setback.
With ten thousand soldiers, it seemed like a lot, but compared to the foreign tribes, it was very little, not even enough to fill their teeth.
Yet with that small force, Zhao Feng forcibly bit into the foreign tribes, causing them heavy losses.
“Read aloud!”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, equally watching the messenger in the hall with anticipation.
“A great victory on the Northern Frontier.”
“According to confidential reports received, General Zhao Feng used General Zhang Han to lead a small detachment of cavalry as bait, fleeing eastward. The foreign tribes took the bait, pursuing with hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle.”
“The general then led his forces to surprise attack the foreign royal court, breaking the Eastern Barbarian Royal Court in one battle, killing countless enemies.”
“Now.”
“The Eastern Barbarian Royal Court has been destroyed by the general; most of it has turned to scorched earth, many Eastern Barbarian royalty, and numerous Eastern Barbarian nobility perished under the general’s slaughter.”
“Northern Frontier, a great victory,” the messenger read with a solemn face.
To announce such an exhilarating, further inspiring report for the Huaxia people.
This messenger too appeared particularly excited.
“The Barbarian Royal Court has been destroyed?”
“How was this accomplished?”
“Impossible.”
“The Eastern Barbarian Royal Court, heavily guarded, yet Zhao Feng broke through with only ten thousand troops?”
“Not even ten thousand troops.”
“Over the past four months, Zhao Feng has waged multiple battles with the foreign tribes. His sharp warriors probably also suffered considerable casualties.”
“This can be traced; these past months, the Donghu was entirely led by Zhao Feng, presumably so angering the King of Donghu that he deployed all his forces to pursue, leaving the royal court empty, which makes sense.”
“This battle is settled, the result achieved.”
“The general should also be returning.”
“The barbarian royal court is destroyed, and many foreign tribes have been crushed by the general.”
“The Donghu, within five years, no, perhaps ten years, will find it hard to recover its vitality.”
“Qin North Border will be at ease for ten years.”
“This is an unparalleled achievement by the general.”
“Qin having such a general is truly Qin’s blessing.”
“I congratulate the Great King.”
“We congratulate the Great King…”
As discussions concluded.
In the end, all ministers congratulated Ying Zheng.
Of course.
Many of them did not look pleased, but under such achievements, they had no choice but to offer congratulations.
Amidst the rounds of congratulations.
A smile also hung on Ying Zheng’s face.
If not for the ununified Shenzhou here yet.
Ying Zheng might have boldly declared, “My son, how mighty!”
“Zhao Feng.”
“Qin’s indisputable War God.”
Ying Zheng spoke slowly.
If once the term War God was military and public discussion,
Now, with Ying Zheng’s words.
The title of War God for Zhao Feng was solidified.
This was declared by the King of Qin himself.
And when he spoke the title War God.
Every minister could clearly see the pride in Ying Zheng’s tone.
“I congratulate the Great King.”
“This time.”
“Qin’s might is even more pronounced.”
“Qi and Chu will surely be intimidated.”
“The day of conquering Qi and Chu will come with twice the result for half the effort,” Wang Jian immediately stood and said.
“Not only that.”
“With this battle’s momentum, the general’s crushing of the foreign tribes has made them unable to head south for ten years. This alone can greatly inspire the Divine Land Huaxia people.”
“Especially for the newly established Yan Kingdom, the people’s allegiance will return faster.”
“The King of Yan’s collusion with the foreign tribes has already alienated him from the people of Yan. The revenge executed by the general against the foreign tribes can make the people of the Land of Yan completely submit to Qin.”
“Compared to the Land of the Three Jins, the Land of Yan will be easier to control,” Han Fei also stood up and said.
“Indeed.”
“The King of Yan’s collusion with the foreign tribes is widely known.”
“The people of Yan, the Huaxia people, all regard it as a disgrace.”
“Now, even those who resisted in the Land of Yan dare not invoke the King of Yan’s name to oppose Qin.”
“This is truly a fortune for Qin,” Li Si promptly said.
Upon hearing this.
Ying Zheng nodded, without much emotion, his gaze falling back on the messenger.
“Has Zhao Feng withdrawn?” Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.
That was his concern.
Now that the Eastern Barbarian Royal Court had been overrun by Zhao Feng, such achievements were already enough.
Now it was time for him to return, wasn’t it?
He had been fighting alone on the Northern Frontier for four months.
That should be enough.
In Ying Zheng’s view.
Even if Zhao Feng hadn’t massacred the entire Barbarian Royal Court, with his push into the foreign lands and destruction of so many foreign tribeslands, it was enough.
While this battle could inspire greatly,
further enforcing Ying Zheng’s authority.
But Ying Zheng cared more about Zhao Feng.
“Returning to the Great King.”
“According to confidential reports, after overrunning the royal court and slaughtering, the general has already begun withdrawing southward.”
“Presumably, he has already returned to the Land of Yan by now,” the messenger immediately replied.
“Good.”
Ying Zheng laughed heartily, finally relieved.
Then.
He looked at Yu Liao, “Minister Yu, how’s the troop deployment in the Land of Yan?”
“Returning to the Great King.”
“The troops stationed in Yan have already headed to Xiangping City, ready to assist the moment General returns.”
“Besides.”
“The forces from the Hangu Pass Camp stationed in the Zhao Territory have also deployed ten thousand into the Land of Yan,” Yu Liao immediately replied.
“Transmit my decree.”
“Upon General Zhao’s return to Yan.”
“He must return to the capital to report his duties immediately.”
“This decree is to be delivered urgently,” Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
“I shall comply,” Yu Liao responded promptly.
