Chapter 268 Han Xin's Great Victory, the Desperate Zhao Tuo
Facing Ying Yu's reprimand, Zhao Tuo jumped up in anger.
But he didn't dare to continue talking.
Contradicting the prince in court, if Ying Yu really got into trouble with him, it would be enough for him to lose his official position and dismiss him.
That would really be worth the candle.
At this time, Zhao Tuo could only secretly expect in his heart that the news of the defeat on the front line would come back quickly, and the worse the loss, the better.
As long as Han Xin is really defeated, Zhao Tuo will stand still completely.
At that time, even if Ying Zheng wanted to attack him, the nobles would have enough reasons to intercede for Zhao Tuo and take advantage of the situation to force Ying Yu to make concessions.
Just at this time.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the battle report of the Peacock Dynasty!"
An urgent report immediately broke the silence in the Qilin Hall.
The expressions of the officials suddenly changed drastically.
Everyone stared at the thin piece of paper in Zhang Han's hand.
They all know what this battle report means to Daqin?
If Han Xin is really defeated, these nobles will definitely not miss this opportunity to fight back.
Although with the prestige of Ying Zheng and Ying Yu, it will definitely be resolved in the end, but their reputation will definitely be affected.
If the Xungui and the rich and famous families really started to quarrel, Daqin might suffer a lot of losses.
Feng Quji and others did not want to see such a situation.
"The Peacock Dynasty battle report?"
"Bring it up!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and there was a little nervousness on his face.
Although he has confidence in Ying Yu, but this time it is not Ying Yu who leads the army himself, although Han Xin is also good.
But after all, he is too young, and his opponent is not weak.
Ying Zheng once asked Wang Ben and Wang Jian in private, even if they were facing the [-] war elephants and more than [-] troops of the Maurya Dynasty, there was no good way.
Wang Jian proposed the strategy of attacking halfway, but Han Xin had already missed this opportunity.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath, and took the battle report handed over by Zhang Han.
And the civil and military ministers below couldn't help talking in a low voice.
"Hey, I hope it's not bad news!"
"I don't ask Han Xin to win, as long as he successfully withdraws!"
"Deep into the hinterland of the enemy country, where is it so easy to withdraw."
"Don't be so pessimistic. Although Han Xin is young, he is not mediocre. Don't forget his past achievements."
"But the opponent Han Xin faces this time is really too powerful."
"If Han Xin wants to withdraw his troops, it shouldn't be a problem with the speed advantage of the cavalry, but under pressure, he has to stand by and wait for changes, which is difficult!"
"Cavalry guarding the city, how do you guard it?"
The more people talked, the more discouraged they became.
But their expressions changed in the next second.
Because the first emperor Yingzheng on the throne had a smile on his face at this moment.
Just when everyone was wondering, Shihuang Yingzheng spoke up:
"As expected, Han Xin has lived up to my high expectations. It is a great blessing for me, Daqin, to have another army god!"
"And this Yang Zaixing is also a rare general!"
Ying Zheng's undisguised laugh stunned all the courtiers in the Qilin Palace.
There was a look of disbelief on their faces.
Hearing His Majesty's tone, Han Xin seems to have won the battle?
And, it seems, it seems to be a big victory?
How can this be?
Looking at the stunned officials, Ying Zheng restrained his smile, and handed the battle report in his hand to Liu Mo who was beside him:
"Read it to them!"
"promise!"
Liu Mo quickly took the battle report, cleared his throat, and read aloud:
"On June 29th, Captain Han Xin lured the main force of the Mauryan Dynasty outside the city of Arakosia by luring the enemy to go deep, and then used the fire bull formation and fire oil formation to smash the Maurya Dynasty's war elephant army.
Countless enemy soldiers died from the trampling of crazy war elephants!
Then Captain Han Xin personally led the troops and went out of the city to hunt down the enemy. In the first battle, he killed 10 enemy troops and captured nearly [-] enemy troops.
General Yang Zaixing led a hundred men of iron cavalry to pursue the Maurya King Sari Shukya for thousands of miles. He killed 27 generals of the Maurya Dynasty at the foot of Huashi City. Only a hundred men were so frightened that the enemy did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
It's just a pity that I couldn't kill Sari Shuka in the end! "
The voice just fell.
Suddenly there was a gasp in the hall, and everyone was shocked.
"Okay... that's great!"
"The Peacock Dynasty is over!"
"Their reliance is nothing more than these five thousand war elephants. Now they have become a sharp weapon to kill their own army. These unlucky bastards are probably going to die!"
"This Han Xin is truly a genius!"
"This Yang Zaixing is so brave? He led a hundred riders and chased the king to the capital? He also beheaded so many generals that they dare not go out of the city to fight? Is this something a hundred people can do?"
"The vision of His Royal Highness is beyond what I can wait for!"
"Once the War Elephant Legion is broken, the Maurya Dynasty will no longer have the power to fight against our Great Qin. Our Great Qin will once again expand its territory!"
Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Dunwei, Nei Shiteng and others all smiled and clapped their hands in celebration.
As for Zhao Tuo and the others, their complexions immediately collapsed.
They never expected that Han Xin would have a strategy comparable to Sun Wu's!
Five thousand war elephants are not afraid even in the face of an army of one million.
Who would have thought that Han Xin's few simple tricks would break it.
No matter how you think about it, it is not logical!
But the battle report has already arrived in Xianyang, so it is impossible to be fake.
Although he didn't want to believe this fact, Zhao Tuo knew that he might be doomed.
"Zhao Tuo, didn't you say before that Han Xin was incompetent, and that the Da Yue Clan's cavalry would suffer a severe cold because of Bo Cai?
Now that Han Xin has won, what else do you have to say? "
"Hmph... Zhao Tuo is clearly ulterior motives.
If Your Majesty misbelieves your slander and really transfers Han Xin back, that will be the disaster of Great Qin! "
Seeing the contempt and sarcasm in the eyes of Meng Yi and others, Zhao Tuo suddenly lost his energy.
He knew he was going to be cold.
The previous persecution of Ying Yu, if Han Xin is defeated, proves that Zhao Tuo has the foresight.
Even if Ying Zheng is angry, he will take care of the overall situation. Maybe Zhao Tuo really has a chance to take over the war in the direction of the Maurya Dynasty.
But now that Han Xin has achieved an astonishing victory, Zhao Tuo's previous words will become ulterior motives.
Feng Quji, Meng Yi and the others were able to subdue Zhao Tuo even without Yingzheng's intervention.
Don't forget, Meng Yi is the doctor of imperial history, who is entrusted by Ying Zheng to review the officials of Daqin.
Compared with Zhao Tuo, all those nobles who spoke rudely before were all limp on the ground at this moment.
It's over, it's over!
"Come here, please get out all these disrespectful people!"
Meng Yi sneered.
Seeing that it was Jin Yiwei who came in, all the honorable officials immediately cried for their parents and begged for mercy.
"Take them all down and give me strict censorship!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, Jin Yiwei stepped forward and invited Zhao Tuo and others out of the Qilin Hall.
The faces of all the honorable officials were ashen.
How many officials have clean hands and feet?Especially these distinguished officials.
Jin Yiwei waited for them to go on, and what awaited them was the fate of being dismissed from office and demoted to common people.
If there are other crimes, it will be the end of the head.
