Chapter 268 Han Xin's Great Victory, the Desperate Zhao Tuo

Faced with Ying Yu's rebuke, Zhao Tuo was so angry that he jumped up and down.

But he didn't dare to continue talking.

If Ying Yu really gets into trouble with the Crown Prince by contradicting him in court, it will be enough for him to be dismissed from his official position.

That's really not worth the gain.

At this time, Zhao Tuo could only secretly hope in his heart that the news of the defeat on the front line would come back quickly, and the worse the defeat, the better.

As long as Han Xin is really defeated, Zhao Tuo will completely stand his ground.

At that time, even if Ying Zheng wants to attack him, the nobles will have enough reasons to intercede for Zhao Tuo and force Ying Yu to make concessions.

Just at this time.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, Maurya War Report!"

An emergency report immediately broke the silence in Qilin Hall.

The expressions of the officials suddenly changed drastically.

Everyone was staring at the thin piece of paper in Zhang Han's hand.

They all know what this battle report means to Da Qin?

If Han Xin was really defeated, these nobles would 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 nobles and wealthy families really get into trouble, Great Qin will probably suffer a lot of losses.

Feng Quji and others did not want to see such a situation.

"Mauryan War Report?"

"Send it over!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, with a slightly nervous look on his face.

Although I have confidence in Ying Yu, after all, this time it is not Ying Yu who will lead the army personally, although Han Xin is also good.

But after all, he is too young, and his opponent is not weak either.

Ying Zheng once asked Wang Ben and Wang Jian privately that even they had no good solution in the face of the Maurya Dynasty's five thousand war elephants and more than two hundred thousand troops.

Wang Jian proposed the strategy of attacking halfway across the border, but Han Xin had already missed this opportunity.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and took the battle report handed over by Zhang Han.

The civil and military ministers below couldn't help but started talking in low voices.

"Hey, I hope it's not bad news!"

"We don't expect Han Xin to win, as long as he successfully withdraws!"

"It's so easy to retreat deep into the enemy's heartland."

"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 faced this time was too powerful."

"If Han Xin wanted to withdraw his troops, it shouldn't be a problem with the speed of the cavalry, but due to pressure, he had to stand firm and wait for changes, which would be difficult!"

"The cavalry is defending the city. How can we defend it?"

The more people talked, the more discouraged they became.

But their expressions changed in the next second.

Because the First Emperor Ying Zheng on the throne had a smile on his face at this moment.

Just when everyone was confused, First Emperor Ying Zheng spoke:

"Han Xin has indeed lived up to my high expectations. Our Qin Dynasty has gained another military god. It is really a great blessing!"

"And Yang Zaixing is also a rare tiger general!"

Ying Zheng's unabashed laughter made all the courtiers in the Qilin Palace stunned.

There were expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Listening to His Majesty's tone, it seems that Han Xin has won?

And, it seems, it seems like a big victory?

How is this possible?

Looking at the stunned officials, Ying Zheng suppressed his smile and handed the battle report in his hand to Liu Mo:

"Read it to them!"

"promise!"

Liu Mo quickly took the battle report, cleared his throat, and read loudly:

"On June 29, Captain Han Xin used the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the city and attracted the main force of the Maurya Dynasty outside the city of Aracosiya. He also used the Fire Ox Formation and the Fire Oil Formation to defeat the Maurya Dynasty's War Elephant Legion.

Countless enemy soldiers died under the trampling of mad war elephants!

Captain Han Xin then personally led his troops and went out of the city to pursue the enemy. In one battle, he killed 50,000 enemy soldiers and captured nearly 100,000 enemy soldiers.

General Yang Zaixing led a hundred men of cavalry to pursue the Mauryan king Sariśoka for thousands of miles. At the gate of Huashi City, he killed twenty-seven generals of the Mauryan Dynasty. Only a hundred generals were so frightened that the enemy did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

It’s just a pity that we couldn’t kill Relic Suga in the end!”

The words just fell.

There was a sudden gasp in the hall, and everyone was shocked.

"Okay...great!"

"The Maurya Dynasty is over!"

"Their support was just these five thousand war elephants. Now they have become a weapon to kill their own army. These unlucky guys will probably die in peace!"

"This Han Xin is truly a genius!"

"This Yang Zaixing is so brave? He led a hundred cavalry to chase the king to the capital? And he also killed so many generals that they dared not go out of the city to fight? Is this what a hundred people can do?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's vision is indeed beyond my reach!"

"Once the War Elephant Legion is defeated, the Mauryan Dynasty will no longer have the power to confront our Great Qin, and our Great Qin will once again expand its territory!"

Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Dun Ruo, Nei Shiteng and others all smiled happily and high-fived each other.

As for Zhao Tuo and others, their expressions immediately fell down at this moment.

They never expected that Han Xin would have a strategy comparable to that of Sun Wu!

Five thousand war elephants are not afraid even if they face a million troops.

Who would have thought that Han Xin would be thwarted by a few simple tricks.

This is not logical no matter how you think about it!

But the battle reports have already arrived in Xianyang, so there is no way this is false.

Although Zhao Tuo didn't want to believe this fact, he knew that he was probably going to die.

"Zhao Tuo, didn't you say before that Han Xin was incompetent and that the Yueshi cavalry would be seriously injured by Bo Cai?

Now that Han Xin has won, what else can you say?"

"Hmph... Zhao Tuo clearly has ulterior motives.

If Your Majesty misunderstood your slander and really transferred Han Xin back, it would be a disaster for the Qin Dynasty!"

Seeing the contempt and cynicism 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 was defeated, proved that Zhao Tuo had foresight.

Even if Ying Zheng is angry, he will take care of the overall situation. Zhao Tuo may really have a chance to take over the war in the direction of the Mauryan Dynasty.

But now that Han Xin has achieved an astonishing victory, Zhao Tuo's previous words will have ulterior motives.

Even without Ying Zheng's intervention, Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others could make Zhao Tuo obedient.

Don't forget, Meng Yi is a censor, and is being entrusted by Ying Zheng to examine the officials of Qin Dynasty.

Compared with Zhao Tuo, all those nobles who had made rude remarks before were now paralyzed on the ground.

It’s over, it’s all over!

"Come here, please get out all those who have behaved inappropriately before you!"

Meng Yi sneered and said.

Seeing that the person who came in turned out to be the Jin Yiwei, all the distinguished officials immediately cried for their fathers and mothers, and begged for mercy.

"Take them all down and subject them to strict scrutiny!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and the Jin Yiwei stepped forward directly and invited Zhao Tuo and others out of the Qilin Hall.

All the distinguished officials suddenly looked ashen.

How many officials have clean hands and feet? Especially these noble officials.

As long as they are treated like this by the Jinyiwei, the only thing waiting for them is to be dismissed from office and demoted to common people.
