"Crash!"
Suddenly, all the officials in the discussion hall turned to look at the Imperial Guards. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"W-what did you say?"
At this moment, Lord Cao looked at the Imperial Guards in shock and continued,""Are you trying to deceive the king? If that's the case, I'll kill you!”
Hearing Lord Cao's words, the imperial guards hurriedly said,""Replying to Lord Cao, this subordinate is indeed not deceiving the king. Everything I said is true.”
" This…"
Hearing the Imperial Guard's words, the officials looked at the kneeling Imperial Guard in shock.
They couldn't believe their ears.
200,000!
That was an entire 200,000 Xiongnu army!
Those were Xiongnu cavalry that were as ferocious as wolves!
Thinking of this, the officials couldn't help but shiver.
"Tell me the details."
Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng said with a rare look of joy in his eyes.
"Yes, sir!"
The imperial guard bowed and began to explain,"
"That day, 200,000 Xiongnu troops besieged Fancheng. General Qin Yi, the general of Fancheng, used a trick to prevent the Xiongnu from completely attacking Fancheng.”
"After that, General Qin led the army to sneak into the Xiongnu Royal Court from the side and took down the Xiongnu Royal Court in one fell swoop!”
"After that, the Xiongnu army reacted. When they returned to the Xiongnu palace to provide reinforcements, they encountered the Fire Bull Formation set up by General Qin, splitting the 200,000 Xiongnu army into two.”
"After that, General Qin led the charge and led the 100,000 strong Xiongnu army to fight a decisive battle beside a small river outside the Xiongnu Royal Court!”
"In the end, General Qin led more than 10,000 cavalry from Fan City and broke through the obstacles of the Xiongnu army. He directly killed the enemy's general, Xiongnu Chief Touman, and won the battle in one fell swoop!”
As the imperial guards spoke, the officials listened with great interest.
Finally, when the imperial guards finished speaking, the officials finally recovered from their shock.
They couldn't help but praise Qin Yi's bravery and resourcefulness.
However, Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who should have been happy, felt a little uneasy.
"Everyone, now that General Qin has made such a great contribution to the Great Qin Empire, how do you think we should reward him?”
At this moment, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the group of civil and military officials below with a smile.
'This…'
The civil and military officials below did not know how to answer.
Especially Lord Cao, who seemed to have his throat strangled as he stood in place and didn't speak.
At this moment, if there was a crack in the ground, he would definitely crawl in without hesitation.
Unfortunately, he didn't. He could only stand there awkwardly. He didn't know whether to move or stand there.
However, not many people noticed his embarrassment.
At this moment, one of Lu Buwei's subordinates saw that Wang Jian was about to say something, so he quickly went out and reported,"
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this Qin Yi has killed 200,000 Xiongnu soldiers and even captured the Xiongnu Imperial Court. He has helped the Great Qin expand its territory.”
"Therefore, I believe that you should be rewarded.”
"After all, the rise of such a new talent means that Great Qin will be prosperous for generations to come. It's not like some old generals who clearly have a large army but are cowardly.”
As he spoke, that official even looked at Wang Jian with a smug expression.
Clearly, the old general the courtiers were talking about was Wang Jian.
Then, the official looked at Lu Buwei, waiting for his approval.
After all, he thought that he had helped Lu Buwei win back Qin Yi, the rising general!
But Lu Buwei's expression was indeed very cold.
Lu Buwei was feeling very complicated. If he had followed his original intention, he would have supported Qin Yi, the rising star of the army.
But…
When he thought of Qin Yi's rapid rise, the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.
Just as he was at a loss on how to deal with Qin Yi's matter, one of his trusted aides actually took the initiative to announce his merits and made a decision for him.
Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel furious.
But now was not the time to pursue the matter, so he quickly turned to look at Ying Zheng, the King of Qin. Just as Lu Buwei was about to say something, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng's words.
"Good! In that case, he should reward General Qin heavily!”
After saying that, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then continued,"
"In view of Qin Yi's contribution to the expansion of the Great Qin Empire, I hereby confer Qin Yi the title of General Long Xiao. The title of the right-hand general will be raised by four ranks to Shao Liang!”
"From now on, the 28 cities on the northwest border of Great Qin will be under the command of General Long Xiao, Qin Yi.”
"Also, Qin Yi's soldiers are also exceptionally brave. I've appointed Meng Tian as the Tiger General, Wang Ben as the Flying Leopard General, and Zhang Han as the Eagle General!”
"In the future, the three generals will listen to General Long Xiao's command. From today onwards, this edict will be issued without any mistakes!”
At this point, Ying Zheng paused for a moment, then continued,"
"Also, regarding Qin Yi's new army's military name, I personally wrote two words for it.”
"In the future, the soldiers of the northwest will be the Azure Dragon Cavalry, and they will be called the Azure Dragon Cavalry to protect the border of Great Qin.”
After hearing Ying Zheng's series of rewards, all the courtiers were surprised.
They had not expected that Qin Yi, who had just been promoted to a City Lord, would be given the title of General Long Xiao of Great Qin and lead the 28 cities in the northwest border.
What kind of honor was this!
Some people even wondered if the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had worn the same pair of pants as Qin Yi.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Lu Buwei, who was feeling uneasy, hurriedly took a step forward. He was about to say something when Ying Zheng interrupted him again.
"Don't mention it again. I've already decided on this matter.”
"Immediately let Qin Yi return to Xianyang and be rewarded!”
"Today's court affairs will end here. Retreat!”
After saying that, Ying Zheng strode towards the backyard.
Looking at Ying Zheng, who seemed a little different today, Lu Buwei's heart was in a mess.
This feeling of being out of control in Lu Buwei's body made him feel even more uneasy. He was also filled with doubts about Qin Yi, whom he had never met before.
With a resounding retreat, Lu Buwei left the Conference Hall, escorted by his subordinates.
