Dun Ruo's nose was drenched in a thin layer of sweat as he spoke solemnly.
"I sent 200 Great Qin warriors into the depths of Xi Ou, but only 20 survived.”
"After reporting the information, eight people died due to poison and miasma.”
"This lowly subject has already sent a message to Commandant Tu, telling him to be careful.”
" This is what you meant by 'the people of Qin can adapt to it?" Ying Zheng asked in a trembling voice.”
"Is this what you mean by not having much of an impact?!”
An army moving out was different from a single person infiltrating.
With the Vanguard Battalion opening up roads and bridges, the safety of the army was much higher than that of a single person.
However, Great Qin was not going to open up new territories, but to fight!
If the army was first worn down by the harsh environment and exhausted, how could they deal with the ambushes of the Yue Alliance Army?
Ying Zheng closed his eyes in pain and said," If I hadn't asked you to investigate first, how many soldiers would Great Qin have lost in this war?!”
That brat was right!
The thought of the three hundred thousand Qin soldiers being buried in the ground made Ying Zheng's heart ache.
Dun Ruo knelt down and cupped his hands in grief,""This is my fault."
"This lowly subject is willing to accept your punishment!"
Taking a deep breath, Ying Zheng said,""Now is not the time to be held accountable."
"Send more Great Qin warriors and investigate the Yue as much as possible. I don't want this to happen again!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dunruo cupped his hands.”
" Tell Tu Sui to stop the march," Ying Zheng continued.”
"Summon the three dukes and nine ministers to the royal study for a meeting.”
"Also pass on Dr. Wang Ying to accompany you!"
An hour later, Wang Ying reluctantly followed Wang Ben into the royal study.
As soon as he entered, Wang Ying found that the Great Qin's Three Dukes and Nine Ministers had all gathered here.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Sit!" Ying Zheng nodded lightly.
"Today, I have summoned all my beloved ministers here for the battle of the Bai Yue!”
"A month ago, I read the news from the Bai Yue army and felt uneasy.”
Had Ying Zheng realized the failure of the Battle of the Hundred Yue by now?
Not bad, Brother Zheng!
Could this be the legendary intuition, the sixth sense of men?
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Was it too late?
Ying Zheng's heart sank, and he continued,""I have ordered Minister Dun to send the Great Qin warriors to infiltrate Xi Ou.”
"However, the reply I received made me even more worried.”
Upon seeing this, Dun Ruo took a step forward.
"Our 200 Great Qin warriors infiltrated the depths of Xi Ou, and only 20 of them survived!”
"Only ten percent survived?" Yang Duan He was shocked.”
"Although I have never been to the Bai Yue, I heard that the Bai Yue is similar to the Chu Land, with many mountains, miasma, and high temperatures.”
"Could it be that these 200 people from Great Qin are all northerners and can't withstand the climate of Baiyue?”
"How could I make such a mistake?" Dunruo shook his head helplessly.”
"Of these 200 people, 50 are northerners, and the rest are native to Chu!”
No, so you only found out now that the most dangerous thing in the Baiyue is not the natives, but the environment?
Great Qin's intelligence agency was not good at all!
What about the Black Ice Platform?
Where's the Network?
Hurry up and eliminate these Great Qin warriors!
There was an uproar in the royal study.
"Even if we don't count the northerners, only twenty out of a hundred and fifty Chu people survived?”
"Could it be that the dead were surrounded and killed by the natives of the Bai Yue?”
"If the Yue can discover, capture, and kill all 200 of the Great Qin's warriors, wouldn't the problem be even more serious?”
"If these 200 Great Qin warriors are like this, then what about Great Qin's 500,000 soldiers?”
Hearing this, all the officials couldn't help but become nervous.
The sacrifice of 200 Great Qin warriors could be tolerated, but what about 500,000 Great Qin soldiers?
Ying Zheng leaned forward and looked at the officials expectantly.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"The best plan now is to retreat!" Wang Wan said bluntly.”
"The Hundred Yue is barren and useless to Great Qin.”
"If it can be taken easily, then there's nothing wrong with it. But since it's difficult to defeat the Hundred Yue, why don't we just give it up!”
Ying Zheng immediately shook his head.”
"There's no need to discuss this matter anymore!"
No wonder Wang Wan was dismissed in the future. Although she was quite capable, she did not know how to read the leader's mind.
Brother Zheng was known to have the virtue of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. He had even claimed to have unified the world.
However, truly unifying the world was not as simple as annexing the six countries. The Bai Yue had submitted to the Zhou Dynasty in the past and was also one of the world!
If he didn't take down the Bai Yue, wouldn't he feel guilty when Ying Zheng boasted that I would unify the world?
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ying with surprise.
This child actually guessed that I wanted to destroy the Bai Yue because of my ambition to unify the world?
Wang Ying understands me!
But I'm definitely not bragging. Yes, definitely not!
"Your Majesty, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles."”
"Even though our Great Qin knows that the Baiyue is a dangerous place, we still don't know why it's so dangerous or how to resolve it.”
"I advise you to temporarily withdraw the army and rest. We will continue to advance after we have thoroughly investigated the situation!”
Li Si said coldly," 500,000 troops are out there. They consume a lot of money and food every day!”
"This humble subject believes that the dangers of the environment can be overcome by manpower.”
"We should continue to advance and subdue the Yue as soon as possible!”
All of the courtiers came forward to remonstrate, but not a single one of them could satisfy Ying Zheng.
In the end, Ying Zheng had no choice but to look at Wang Ying.
Ying Zheng believed that since Wang Ying knew about this, he must have a countermeasure in mind!
