Zhao Yulong naturally noticed the contemptuous looks of the generals, but he didn't care.
As long as this war can be ended and the people of Daliang can be completely freed from the baptism of war, Zhao Yulong will not hesitate to become a street rat that everyone shouts to beat.
Although everyone looked down on Zhao Yulong, they knew in their hearts that if they wanted to win this battle, Zhao Yulong's decision was undoubtedly the most correct.
Therefore, the generals had no objections to Zhao Yulong's order.
After Dingtao County was attacked, the first thing to do was not to retaliate but to seize the time to continue arranging troops and building fortifications to enhance the strength of Dingtao County.
Because now almost the entire Liang's attention is focused on the northern border.
According to the experience that Emperor Liang learned from Qin Feng, nothing is more important than reliable and fast sources of information on the battlefield.
Although Jinyiwei had completely escaped from Emperor Liang's control, Emperor Liang did not give up. Instead, he would rather choose the stupidest method and consolidate the news channels.
He sent most of the black lieutenants and messengers to the north, so that between Dingtao County and Kyoto, the number of post houses increased to no less than a hundred, and there were thousands of various messengers.
The war in Dingtao County quickly reached Kyoto.
Hundreds of officials gathered in the Chaohui Hall, and officials from the Ministry of War reported truthfully on the war situation in Dingtao County.
"Your Majesty, as soon as Zhao Yulong arrived in Dingtao County, Qin Feng sent three thousand cavalry to launch a fierce attack on Dingtao County."
The entire hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang did not panic at all. After all, he had been mentally prepared to withstand Qin Feng's counterattack from the time he decided to attack the northern border.
Under the gaze of all the officials, Emperor Liang asked casually: "What are the losses on both sides?"
Officials from the Ministry of War quickly replied: "The two thousand troops temporarily stationed on the eastern front of Dingtao County were completely wiped out. Judging from the number of sacrificed soldiers, at least more than five hundred people became prisoners of Qin Feng."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall became even more depressing.
The officials lowered their heads and no one said a word.
Emperor Liang's face also darkened, but he pretended to be calm and continued to ask: "What's the loss on Qin Feng's side?"
The expressions on the officials of the Ministry of War became extremely complicated, and they hesitated to speak, unable to speak at all.
It was not until Emperor Liang ordered that the officials of the Ministry of War bite the bullet and replied: "Qin Feng sent all cavalry. They did not engage in close combat with our army at all. They all circled around the periphery and harassed us with bows and arrows."
"It wasn't until the formation of the eastern front troops was dispersed that the northern cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation to divide and encircle them."
"So... the cavalry under Qin Feng's command probably won't suffer much loss."
The officials of the Ministry of War were evading the important points and hemming and hawing. Just because of this battle loss ratio, he couldn't speak out at all. After all, it was too embarrassing.
In fact, everyone at the scene knew that the so-called "little loss" was too implicit. In fact, there was almost no loss!
Three thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry, and all retreated. This kind of result is simply unbelievable to everyone, but when applied to Qin Feng, everything seems reasonable and reasonable.
After all, this is Qin Feng’s strength!
Emperor Liang couldn't hold back any longer, and his face was extremely ugly.
He knew that Qin Feng was very strong, and he also knew that the soldiers in the north were strong and very brave and good at fighting.
But no matter what, Emperor Liang never imagined that the soldiers of Liang would be so vulnerable to Qin Feng.
At this moment, Chen Zheng's voice suddenly sounded.
"Since we are going to fight, we must make all preparations. How can the Ministry of War avoid the important and take the easy, so that your majesty can clearly understand the strength gap between the enemy and ourselves?"
"If we misjudge the situation, it will only cause greater losses and may even jeopardize the entire war situation."
"Since the Ministry of War dare not say anything, then let me do it!"
Although Emperor Liang looked ugly, he understood that what Chen Zheng said made sense, so he did not stop him.
Chen Zheng, as a noble minister, naturally had nothing to fear, and his loud voice immediately echoed throughout the hall.
"I already know the situation of the battle!"
"Qin Feng sent a total of five thousand troops, three thousand cavalry, and two thousand infantry, setting off from Anyuan County towards Dingtao County at night."
"The troops returned to Anyuan County early the next morning."
"In other words, in just one night, Qin Feng's troops killed one person and wiped out the two thousand eastern front garrison in Dingtao County, killing more than a thousand people and capturing more than 500 people."
"According to rough statistics, the casualties of these three thousand cavalrymen are probably less than a hundred."
When Chen Zheng said this, the entire hall was completely silent. Not to mention the officials below, even Emperor Liang was silent.
Once upon a time, Qin Feng's powerful strength was Daliang's greatest weapon in intimidating the enemy.
But now, this weapon has changed its direction and is aimed at the beam.
Although Emperor Liang spared no effort to smear Qin Feng and framed Qin Feng as a traitor to the country, it was a pity that almost no one believed this rhetoric.
After all, Qin Feng's achievements are too great and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Whether it is from a rational or legal perspective, it makes no sense for Emperor Liang to attack the northern border, and naturally he cannot get the sincere support of everyone.
However, the powerful strength displayed by Qin Feng made things even worse for Emperor Liang. The troops sent to the north in the future may be too timid even before they face Qin Feng.
At this moment, Chen Zheng's voice came again, and for everyone, it was like a nightmare.
"Those two thousand infantry did not enter the battlefield at all. In other words, just three thousand cavalry almost killed the defenders of Dingtao County and caused chaos."
"And the other party did not attack the county town. It was not because they were repulsed by the defenders, but because Qin Feng had no intention of attacking the city at all."
"So I guess this raid is just Qin Feng's final warning."
"If our army continues to invade, Qin Feng will no longer show any mercy..."
Before Chen Zheng could finish speaking, Emperor Liang interrupted him directly. He stood up and shouted angrily: "That's enough!"
"Qin Feng has turned his back on Daliang. No matter how strong he is, he must be destroyed!"
"I have ordered that the attack on the northern border will be regarded as a national war of life and death. All the six departments in Beijing and Central must fully support this war."
"Anyone who dares to neglect is a collaborator with the enemy!"
At this moment, Emperor Liang had no choice. If he wanted to defeat Qin Feng, he had to make every effort to defeat Qin Feng.
Gather the strength of the beams to crush the northern border.
The officials felt Emperor Liang's determination and naturally had no choice but to obey.
"Retreat!"
Emperor Liang left without looking back. After avoiding the eyes of the courtiers, Emperor Liang calmly wiped away the sweat from his palms.
He is now unable to get off the tiger, and there is no other way to go except one road to the dark.
"Qin Feng, in the land of Daliang, there can only be one monarch and minister left among you and me!"
