Chapter 416 Three Happy Events! I'm Just a Civil Servant, Not a Bastard in the Wishing Pond!

Listening to Ying Zheng's cheerful laughter, Wei Miao raised his hands and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, is Chang'an Lord victorious?"

Listening to Wei Liao's question is like listening to a question.

After all, the outcome of this battle has been announced by Dan Fu.

But this 'nonsense' made Ying Zheng feel even more happy!

However, for the sake of the majesty of the king, Ying Zheng still suppressed his smile and said casually: "On September 27, Lord Chang'an set fire to Dahong Mountain."

"More than 100,000 Chu troops were burned to the ground!"

"It's a pity that the Chu army's corpses were mostly charred, so it can't be considered the first achievement."

Wei Liao's eyes were dull and he asked in disbelief: "Chang'an Lord has burned and killed more than 100,000 Chu troops?!"

"On September 27th?"

"At that time, it was less than half a month before Lord Chang'an left for the expedition!"

Wei Liao really couldn't understand how Ying Chengyu achieved such results.

Calculating the distance, it would take Ying Chengyu seven or eight days to reach Dahong Mountain alone, even if the whole army was in a hurry!

Even though he had long been accustomed to the speed of Ying Chengyu's conquests, such a terrifying conquest speed still exceeded Wei Liao's expectations.

This is unreasonable!

However, Wei Liao's shock did not make Ying Zheng feel any suspicion about Ying Chengxuan's false claims of military exploits, but only made Ying Zheng's joy grow stronger.

What no one else can do, my brother can do!

My humble brother, you are so powerful!

Ying Zheng suppressed the corner of his mouth with increasing force, and calmly ordered General Wang Bo's report to be handed over to Wei Liao: "The Chang'an Junjun report is here."

"My dear, you can look at it yourself."

Regardless of etiquette, Wei Liao snatched the military newspaper from Wang Bo's hand, quickly scanned the bamboo slips with his eyes, and recited in a deep voice:

"I obey the king's order... Qin Chang'an Jun's son Cheng Chong went to Dahong Mountain to pay homage to the king from afar!"

After reading the military report, the shock in Wei Xiao's eyes did not diminish at all, but actually increased.

There was silence in the imperial study room.

Because Feng Quji and other court officials were all stunned and dumbfounded.

Appreciating the expressions of the ministers, Ying Zheng suppressed the corners of his mouth so hard that it actually twitched.

After a few breaths, there was a burst of joy and cheers in the royal study room:

"Cai Caicai! What a fire! As expected of me, Lord Chang'an of Great Qin!"

"After this battle, Chu Shangzhu's troops no longer have anything to fear!"

"Isn't Chu claiming to be a descendant of Zhu Rong? Let the Chu people see who is the real Zhu Rong, hahaha~ Lord Chang'an, make our country more majestic!"

Among them, Han Cang laughed the loudest.

He was worried about Da Qin's food reserves, when Ying Chengyu gave him a surprise.

If the Chu State retreats hastily because of this battle, then the pressure on Da Qin's food and grass will be much lighter!

Although every time Ying Chengyu left Neishi County, he would cause trouble that no one could have imagined, making everyone in Great Qin uneasy.

Although Ying Chengyu repeatedly undermined Da Qin's overall strategic plan, forcing the Da Qin court to revise its strategy many times.

Although Ying Chengyu single-handedly made the four countries form an alliance without a treaty, started a world war, fulfilled the lifelong wishes of many politicians, and almost put Da Qin into a dilemma where the whole world was the enemy.

But if there is a war, Ying Chengyu can really win!

All the courtiers excitedly raised their hands in unison:

"I congratulate you, Lord Chang'an!"

"Congratulations to your Majesty!"

"I congratulate Great Qin!"

For Da Qin, this battle was definitely not as simple as burning and killing more than 100,000 Chu troops.

After this victory, Qi will become more determined to follow Qin's footsteps, and the possibility of Yan's alliance with Zhao and Chu will be minimized.

If Qin's envoys could work harder, Yan would probably be tempted by the Qin army's victory, join the Qin army's camp, and follow the Qin army to attack Zhao in a flanking manner.

If this is true, the balance of the war will be completely reversed!

Ying Zheng could no longer hold back his joy and laughed heartily:

"My brother, the king, is really brave!"

"How lucky I am to have the king's brother!"

"Great Qin is so lucky!"

The front line won, which was a joy.

Brother Wang won, which was a double blessing!

Both public and private, Ying Zheng is overjoyed!

One of the messengers handed over his hand with a wink, "Your Majesty, this is a happy event for even a humble position!"

Ying Zheng smiled and looked at this person: "Oh? What else is there to be happy about?"

The commander hurriedly held up the bamboo tube with both hands and said, "Our unit also wins!"

Ying Zheng hurriedly said: "Pass it!"

Wang Bo ran down the high platform again and took the bamboo slips from the messenger.

But this time, Ying Zheng was not interested in reading it in person. Instead, he smiled and said, "I would like to thank you all for your love."

Li Si was speechless.

Should the difference in treatment be so obvious?

After Wang Bo bowed his hands in a salute, he unfolded the bamboo slips and recited in a deep voice: "My lord, General Jue Qi is reporting to your Majesty!"

"On September 1st, Lord Wu'an of Zhao (Li Mu) led us to camp in Tunliu County, and Lord Chang of Zhao (Lejian) led an army of 100,000 to attack Jinyang City."

"On September 6th, after Zhao Wu'an took all the Changzhi territory, he marched westward to Zhongdu City."

"On September 24th, we will finally break through with elite troops, and deploy our troops to attack and defeat the King of Zhao Chang."

"In this battle, the general's troops captured 4,603 enemy heads, killed 3,172 people in Paoze, and seriously injured 6,531 people. Lord Zhao Chang's troops collapsed Taihang Mountain.”

"On September 27th, General Mo will lead his troops to Zhongdu City and cooperate with the Zhongdu garrison to fight against Zhao Wuanjun."

"So far in the trial and confrontation, we have captured 1,300 enemy heads, killed 1,102 people, and seriously injured 1,613 people."

"The general has predicted that Lord Zhao Wu'an intends to have a long-term confrontation, and has sent a partial division into Changzhi to cut off Zhao's army."

"Please let me know what you will do next, your Majesty."

"On September 29th, General Huanjue went to pay homage to your Majesty from afar outside the city of Zhongdu!"

Wei Liao stroked his beard and smiled: "General Jue is worthy of being our veteran general of the Qin Dynasty. He is calm and brave, and he is attentive every step of the way!"

"color!"

Li Si and other court officials also nodded and smiled: "For being able to regroup after the partial army's defeat and turn defeat into victory, General Jue is worthy of being our General of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Now that Lord Chang'an has won the battle against Chu, it will be a good thing for us, Great Qin, as long as General Tuo can maintain his confrontation with the Zhao army."

"Now our army is guarding Jinyang and Pingyao. If we can recapture Changzhi, we can trap Zhao Wu'an Jun's troops on the line of Taihang Mountain and catch turtles in an urn! In this way, we won't want to win!"

Huanjue's performance in this battle was quite dazzling.

However, with Ying Chengyu's record in front of him, Huanjue's record really made the officials unable to express their sincere praise.

The ministers even breathed a sigh of relief.

Strategic arrangements and confrontations are calculated on a monthly basis, and battle losses on both sides are measured in thousands.

This is what war should be like!

If it weren't for the battle between Huanjue, they would have almost suspected that they hadn't gone on an expedition for too long and had become out of touch with the wars of this era!

Ying Zheng gave the final affirmation: "With General Ruan guarding our northeastern part of the Qin Dynasty, I have nothing to worry about!"

Immediately, Ying Zheng looked at the last messenger: "Where is the military information?"

The ordering soldier hurriedly presented the bamboo slip with both hands: "General Jian, please report the military situation urgently!"

Wang Bo made another trip, and after taking apart the bamboo slips, he said in a deep voice: "My lord, General Jianqi reports to your Majesty!"

"The Chu army used defense instead of attack, and its morale was high. It was difficult to defeat them quickly."

"The general also wants to continue the stalemate with the Chu army in order to find loopholes in the Chu army. I sincerely ask the court to reserve food and grass for our army so that our army can fight fiercely for a long time!"

"On September 26th, General Jian went to Chencheng to pay his respects to the king!"

Listening to Wang Bo's voice, the last orderly soldier blushed.

The other two colleagues came to announce the good news, but he was the only one who came to collect food and grass!

So embarrassing!

Han Cang was furious: "Eight months! Only eight months!"

"There won't be any more!"

"There really aren't any more!"

He is just a civil servant, not a bastard in the wishing pond!

Wang Jian said that if you want to have a long-term confrontation, you can have a long-term confrontation?

Hancang really can’t produce food!

Ying Zheng comforted him with a helpless and gentle voice: "Han Shangqing, there is no need to be anxious."

"Since General Jian has made such a judgment, it is natural that General Jian has the right reason."

"And what we have to do is give the frontline generals the greatest trust and support!"

“My dear friends, let’s discuss what our Great Qin should do next!”

Han Cang stepped forward without hesitation and handed over his hand: "I advise you to transfer Lord Chang'an to the direction of Chencheng after Lord Chang'an has destroyed Chu Shangzhu's troops."

"And order the Lord of Chang'an to join forces with General Jian's troops, with Lord Chang'an as the commander, and attack the Chu territory quickly!"

"At the same time, send envoys to Chu to lobby the King of Chu and persuade him to retreat!"

Which company is better at blitz warfare? Found a dragon in Chang'an Township!

Faced with Wang Jian's request for more food and grass, Han Cang decisively sold his benefactor.

However, in Han Cang's view, his behavior was not considered selling out.

Han Cang believed that Ying Chengyu could definitely bring another victory to Great Qin.

Ying Chengyu might have to thank him after hearing this!

However, Ying Zheng directly rejected Han Cang's proposal: "I am sitting in Xianyang with all my dear friends, and I have no idea about the battle situation on the front line."

"How to force frontline generals to change tactics!"

"Don't urge Chang'an Lord and General Jian to fight quickly!"

"Of course, we can discuss the matter of sending an envoy to the Chu State to persuade the King of Chu to withdraw his army."

Han Cang had no choice but to retreat, and Wei Liao stepped forward and handed over his hand: "I think that with the victory of Dahongshan, there is no need to worry about the Yan army."

"You can order General Meng Wu to attack Zhao. First, you will further force Zhao and at the same time give Yan a temptation."

"The second is to feed on the enemy and relieve the pressure on the baggage."

The officials came up to remonstrate and discussed endlessly.

But after much discussion, we couldn't come up with a better solution.

After all, no one can make more food.

The enemy troops will not retreat on their own.

Fortunately, if the Mengwu Department, which is farthest along the baggage line, can solve part of the food and grass problem on its own, Qin's food and grass pressure can also be alleviated to a certain extent.

In the end, Ying Zheng could only give the order: "Order!"

"Assist General Meng Wu to attack Zhao Neihuang!"

"Send envoys to the State of Yan to explain our interests to the King of Yan and ask the King of Yan to abide by the covenant."

"Send an envoy to Chu to discuss the matter of truce."

The Qin court did everything it could.

Next, we can only see if one of these four battlefields can take the lead in opening up the situation!

——

Just as the monarchs and ministers of Qin were discussing their next move, several scouts rushed into the Chu army's tent.

"Vice General Jing is back!"

"Lieutenant Xiang is back too!"

"but……"

After hearing the scout's message, Xiang Yan even forgot to put on his cloak, hurriedly rushed out of the tent, got on his horse, and galloped away in the direction of Xiang Rong.

Finally, Xiang Yan saw his eldest son.

In the past, the son who was tall, strong, handsome, and confident, and whom Xiang Yan was proud of, was now disheveled, with blood-stained robes, smoke and fire, even his thin beard was burnt, and his crotch was completely burnt. The war horse has also disappeared. It is using its halberd as a crutch to lead more than 20 generals in armor towards him.

In an instant, Xiang Yan's eyes turned red and her voice became hoarse:

"Rong'er!"

Hearing a familiar voice in the distance, Xiang Rong, who was as exhausted as a walking corpse, slowly raised his head, his blurred eyes looked in the direction of Xiang Yan, and slowly focused.

When he saw Xiang Yan's figure clearly, Xiang Rong couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears:

"Aweng!"
