The battle of Bei Feng, which had attracted the attention of the world, had ended in less than a day!
In this battle, the Northern Territory crushed 500,000 elite border troops.
According to the post-war statistics, Dafeng's 500,000 soldiers had lost 400,000 of them in this battle. 90,000 of them had surrendered!
As the commander, the younger brother of Emperor Huaiyang, Prince Yan, had died on the battlefield!
In the end, only less than 5,000 people from the entire Dafeng Army escaped back to Qingzhou!
This battle could be said to be extremely glorious.
When this news spread throughout Da Feng and even the other six countries, the world was shaken.
"The Northern Territory won? The Northern Territory actually won, and it only used 50,000 people. How was this possible?”
"This is too terrifying! How did the Northern Territory, or rather, Xu Hao, nurture such a terrifying army? 50,000 versus 500,000, and he won! This was something that had never happened in the entire history of the Seven Nations!”
"Laughable, simply laughable. When Prince Yan went out to battle, he said that he would take down the northern region in a month and take Xu Hao's head! But now, in just one day, his 500,000 strong army was gone, and he had died outside Shanhai City!”
"This time, the Northern Territory has really risen! He really had the strength to match Da Feng!”
The entire world was in an uproar. Countless people were talking about the Northern Region and Xu Hao, the Crown Prince of the Northern Region.
The battle of Bei Feng had shocked everyone. The Northern Territory had suddenly gained the strength to fight against Da Feng!
It could be said that this time, everyone in the world had been slapped in the face by the Northern Territory.
Before the battle, everyone thought that the Northern Territory would definitely suffer a crushing defeat under an army of 500,000.
No one was optimistic that the north could stop the army led by Prince Yan.
However, the result was that the northern region had only dispatched a mere 50,000 infantry to shatter Prince Yan's undefeated legend!
400,000 of the 500,000 troops were directly wiped out!
F * ck, this was simply too terrifying and unbelievable.
However, this was the truth!
……
When the news of Prince Yan's death and the complete annihilation of the 500,000 strong army reached Great Peace City.
Emperor Huaiyang, who was in the royal study meeting with a few important officials in the court, was so angry that he kicked the imperial table in front of him.
"Xu Hao, Xu Hao!"
Emperor Huaiyang's chest heaved up and down as he let out a cry of alarm.
Several important officials in the court, including Chief Assistant Zheng Dangren and Zhao Zhen, who was in charge of Six Fan School, were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged the Emperor to calm down.
"Go, summon the Minister of War to see me! I want to mobilize a million troops to destroy that brat in the Northern Territory!”
Emperor Huaiyang was furious as he pointed at the palm-print eunuch standing beside him.
"No! Your Majesty, you can't!"
The Prime Minister who was kneeling on the ground quickly raised his head and advised.
"What, you want to stop me?" Emperor Huaiyang's expression darkened.
Zheng Dangren's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained,"
"Your Majesty, the Northern Territory has already become a powerful place. If you send out an army at will, once you lose again, Dafeng will be at the bottom of the seven countries!”
Although the seven kingdoms had their own foundations and deterred each other, they would not easily start a war of annihilation.
However, it was common for them to fight for territory with their own armies.
And if Da Feng's elites were all lost, who would be able to resist the enemy's army?
Although the dynasty had a strong foundation, it only guaranteed that it would not be destroyed. It would not help defend against the army. This was an unwritten rule.
Among the seven countries, the Yan Country was at the bottom!
Why was he at the bottom? Because the Yan Country had a weak general and few soldiers, half of its territory was directly annexed by the neighboring Great Xia!
Under the circumstances where their foundations were not revealed, the military strength of the seven countries was the standard to measure the rankings.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zheng is right! Prince Yan had suffered a crushing defeat this time, and the elites of Da Feng had died in one fell swoop. If they were to start a war in the north, it would be tantamount to sending their soldiers to their deaths!”
Zhao Zhen, who was in charge of Six Fan School, also spoke at this time.
"How can my Da Feng only have five hundred thousand elites?”
Emperor Huaiyang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied coldly.
A bitter smile appeared on Zheng Dangren's face as he slowly said,"
"Your Majesty, if the Northern Territory had not rebelled, Da Feng would indeed have more than 200,000 elites, but now…"
The elites of Da Feng were concentrated in the Northern Region and the Western Region.
Because these two places were close to neighboring countries, they naturally had to be guarded by elites.
Moreover, after the baptism of war, the combat strength of the soldiers in the Northern Region and the Western Region far exceeded that of the garrisons in other places.
Although Zheng Dangren did not finish his sentence, Emperor Huaiyang naturally understood what he meant.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little irritated. He was so engrossed in cultivation that he had actually forgotten how many elites there were in Dafeng.
"Then what does Minister Zheng think of Dafeng now?”
"Your Majesty, I think that the Great Feng should first pacify the Northern Region! "As long as the northern region doesn't move for the time being, my Dafeng can use this time to train the troops stationed in various places into elite troops!”
At this moment, Zheng Dangren was about to speak, but his words were interrupted by a king.
This prince was Emperor Huaiyang's uncle. He was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, which was responsible for the promotion of officials. His prestige in the court was extremely high.
Zheng Dangren frowned and said the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He agreed to appease the Northern Territory. Now, there were more than 800,000 soldiers stationed in various places.
However, according to what Zheng Dangren knew, these 800,000 troops were just useless people. They were used to living a comfortable life. When they fought, they were definitely useless and sent to their deaths.
Therefore, Zheng Dangren had strongly opposed Emperor Huaiyang's decision to attack the northern territory again.
As for Prince Yu saying that he would nurture armies from all over the world? This was not something that could be done just because he wanted to.
Instead of wasting time and effort to let those old soldiers train and fight, it was better to directly recruit a group of new soldiers. At least they were obedient and had guts.
"Pacify that brat?"
Emperor Huaiyang's expression changed. After a moment of silence, he said,""Zhen will consider it and leave first!”
After Zheng Dangren and the other ministers left, Emperor Huaiyang also left the royal study. He sat on the dragon carriage and left the palace, heading towards Shangqing Monastery.
