"Report..."
Da Qin, Xianyang City, inside the Qilin Hall.
A veteran soldier bowed his hands, held the letter in his hand, and raised it above his head.
"Your Majesty, a great victory at the border!"
"oh?"
Ying Zheng frowned and was not very happy.
Because according to time calculation, they should have just arrived in Yanmen County. How could they win the battle so quickly?
"His Majesty……!"
Jing Fu took the letter and handed it to Ying Zheng.
His eyes quickly scanned the writing on it, and his expression immediately changed 360 degrees.
Not only did his brows relax, but the corners of his mouth straightened to the back of his head.
"Snapped……"
"Okay! Well done, you are worthy of being my son, haha!"
The excited Ying Zheng slapped Long An, frightening everyone's body.
"Take it down and show them all. The young master only brought 10,000 people with him, but he defeated two large camps of the Huns, captured 10,000 people, and destroyed 70,000 enemies!"
Ying Zheng smiled from ear to ear and waved his hand towards the main hall.
"What? According to the time calculation, the young master should have just arrived in Yanmen County. This...he killed 80,000 Huns?"
Ten thousand of them were prisoners, but to Da Qin, they were equivalent to dead people!
"The young master leads the troops well. We haven't even discussed the supply plan here, but we have already won two great victories over there!"
"Yes, the young master has a clever plan. After fighting for so many years, I have never heard of anyone falling asleep as soon as they arrived at the enemy's city. The key is that the enemy was so scared that they did not dare to send troops, haha !”
"The young master is proficient in the art of war, and he will win this battle!"
…
The victory report was sent by Meng Tian. It briefly recorded the general process of the war, which made all the ministers marvel.
I thought that the young master was just a little clever, but I didn't expect that he would have such an amazing performance on the battlefield!
Not only did they kill 80,000 Huns, but they also captured a lot of loot!
"Your Majesty, the young master's performance is indeed amazing, but it may be inappropriate to directly demote General Pang Gaoyuan of Yanmenguan to a soldier without authorization, right?"
After the shock, Jian Wenmin, the censor doctor, handed over his hand to play.
The Cui family of Xianyang Brewery was his cousin. The two families didn't have much contact before and didn't move around often.
But since Li Si's death, Cui Sheng, the eldest son of the Cui family, often visited the house and often drank with his son.
Going back and forth and getting closer!
A few days ago, the Cui family suddenly sent someone to deliver several large boxes, saying that they wanted to ask for his help!
Hearing that the target of impeachment was Ying Feiyu, he refused at first. After all, Li Si's matter was still fresh and hot, and he did not dare to follow in this footsteps.
But the Cui family said that there was no need to do anything, as long as they found some obstacles for the young master at the right time.
Moreover, he is a royal censor, and he has the right to make reports and correct the moral conduct of officials. Even if the impeachment fails, no one dares to say anything!
Think about the shining gold again, and then you dare to nod!
Coincidentally, as soon as he collected the money on the front foot, the kid's handle came to the door on the back foot. If you don't pick it up, you won't pick it up!
"Hmph! Didn't Meng Tian mention it in the letter? It was because he was disrespectful to Fei Yu first, and then delayed the fight, so Fei Yu removed him, and he was convinced!"
Ying Zheng didn't care at all about such trivial matters.
Da Qin has too many generals, so what does it mean if he is missing?
What is lacking most is brave and resourceful talents!
"Your Majesty, it is a taboo to change generals before the war. The morale of the soldiers will be greatly reduced, which is not good for the war!"
Jian Wenmin handed over again.
"Yes, Master Jian is right. If this battle is defeated due to morale, may the young master bear this responsibility?"
Li Xin's nephew Li Hongda also came forward to report.
Since Li Xin was exiled, he was also implicated. Not only was he punished for one year, but his official position was also demoted to the lowest position. He has been feeling angry.
Just waiting for someone to impeach, he echoed!
"Are you trying to impeach the young master?"
Ying Zheng raised his cold eyes and glared at the two of them.
"If the young master wins the battle, you two may be responsible for impeaching the young master?"
Meng Yi also turned around and asked coldly.
I learned this trick from Xiao Shota.
If you want to make others pay the price, you must at least bear the same risk yourself!
"This this……?"
The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
One of them just wanted to deal with the Cui family and found an opportunity to impeach a few words, so his money was not in vain!
The other one is a soft-spoken person and just goes along with it. If he is asked to take responsibility, forget it.
He is now at the bottom of the official list. If he is demoted again, he may be kicked out of the court!
"If you don't want to take responsibility, just let this matter go!"
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves, named several important ministers, went to the imperial study room to discuss supply issues, and then retired from the court.
…
"Young Master, according to the scouts' inquiries, this river is the largest tributary of the Kerulen River. If you want to get to Punta City behind us, this is the only nearest way!"
After the great victory in the first battle, and after a short rest, Xiao Shota led an army of 300,000 to Punta City to garrison in preparation for attacking the King of the Huns.
The terrain here is open and it is a good place for the army to be stationed.
After finishing the arrangement, Xiao Zhengtai led Meng Tian, Wang Ben and other generals to explore the terrain!
According to reports from scouts, after learning that the border tribes had been breached, the Xiongnu Chanyu immediately gathered troops as quickly as possible and would arrive in less than three days.
"Are you sure this is the closest and only way?"
Little Shota sat astride the horse, looking at the rushing river with a smile.
Although this river is a tributary, the water surface is wide and the river is fast. It is impossible for ordinary people to cross it, so they can only use the bridge deck!
"Yes, if you want to take a detour, you have to go at least hundreds of kilometers to the back of Punta City. The Huns army will never do this!"
Meng Tian said firmly.
"Young Master, do you have a battle plan?"
Seeing the smile on Xiao Zhengtai's face, Zhang Han asked curiously.
"Hey, I don't plan to move forward anymore. I'm just waiting here for the arrival of the Huns army!"
Little Shota showed a malicious smile and scanned the surrounding terrain.
"What? Here?"
Zhao Nian looked in disbelief.
The Huns army is about to arrive. They have already occupied the city of Punta. By simply repairing the city wall, it can be used for defense, occupying a great geographical advantage from a high position.
With such an advantage, why do we have to go head-to-head?
"Young Master, we have artillery in hand. If we attack on the city wall, the effect will be better than in this open area, right?"
Meng Tian also felt something was inappropriate, so he raised his hands and said.
Although he has not yet seen the power of artillery, he has heard about it from the returning soldiers.
Knowing that artillery is the key to winning this battle!
With artillery and the cover of the city wall, this battle should be easier to fight!
