The news of the destruction of Xiongnu spread from Yanmen to all directions.
Everyone who heard the news was shocked!
Xiongnu!
For hundreds of years, the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period had been a huge threat to the Central Plains.
Whether it was the Qin Country, the Zhao Country, or the Yan Country, they were all exhausted from their attacks.
They lived as nomads and were all natural cavalrymen who were very agile.
The grasslands were their main battlefield. When fighting on the grasslands, the army of the Central Plains was rarely a match for them, so they could only rely on the defense of the strong city.
Now!
The Xiongnu had been destroyed!
How could they not be shocked?
The people at the borders of Qin, Zhao, and Yan immediately knelt down to Ying Ziqiu after hearing this news. No one in the world understood the terror of the Xiongnu better than them.
Zhao, Handan City.
When the news of Ying Ziqiu destroying the Xiongnu spread here, countless Zhao nobles couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads.
Fortunately!
They did not make any strange movements when Meng Wu led the army away.
Although these former nobles of the State of Zhao did not know the details of the battle, the destruction of the Xiongnu was bound to be accompanied by countless corpses.
Thinking of the purge of the Yan Country's nobles not long ago, these Zhao Country nobles could not help but shiver.
If they caused trouble.
It would not be long before Ying Ziqiu's army arrived and cleaned them up like how they cleaned up the Yan Country's nobles.
After receiving this news, these nobles of the State of Zhao became even more obedient. They were like obedient babies and no longer dared to have any thoughts of restoring the country.
......
Qin Country, Xianyang City.
A fast horse galloped along the street, heading straight for the palace.
The commoners of Xianyang City on both sides of the street were confused when they saw the horses galloping past. It was obvious that they were the horses that were used to deliver battle reports.
That was strange.
Didn't the Second Prince just conquer the Yan and Zhao Kingdoms?
Why is there still a battle report?
Under the confused gazes of the commoners, the warhorse disappeared at the end of the street.
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was discussing with his ministers about the future development of Qin State, whether to recuperate and relieve the fatigue brought about by the war, or to attack Qi, Wei, and Chu with a great victory.
"Report-"
"General Wang Jian sent someone to deliver the battle report!”
Meng Yi walked into the hall and reported to Ying Zheng.
Another battle report?
Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat!
What did his second son do this time?
The Yan Country was destroyed, the Zhao Country was destroyed, and the noble rebels of the Yan Country were also purged. What war was there?
Could it be that he had cleaned up the nobles of Zhao again? Or did he attack Qi or Wei?
Once upon a time.
He was so eager to hear Ying Ziqiu's battle report.
But now, he was very afraid!
He was afraid that Ying Ziqiu would do something earth-shattering and shocking.
Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, calmed down the waves in his heart, and said to Meng Yi,""Pass!"
After a while.
The messenger scout walked into the hall under Meng Yi's lead.
"Reporting to the king!"
"General Wang Jian has been ordered to deliver the border battle report!”
The scout knelt on one knee and presented the battle report with both hands. His eyes were filled with incomparable fanatical worship, as if he was in awe of the gods.
Facing the gaze of the messenger scout, Ying Zheng's heart felt a little smug.
I didn't expect my prestige to reach such a level.
Little did he know…
The fervent worship and reverence of the messenger scout was directed at Ying Ziqiu!
"Minister Chunyu, read it?”
Ying Zheng looked at Chunyu Yue, and he was immediately frightened.
The last battle report had left a deep shadow in his heart.
He really didn't want to read Ying Ziqiu's battle report!
"Your Majesty!"
"This old minister has a cold, and my throat is swollen and painful. My voice is hoarse, and I'm afraid I can't do this. Your Majesty, please let the other ministers read it.”
Ying Zheng and the other ministers almost burst out laughing when they saw Chunyu Yue's terrified look.
Once bitten, twice shy!
He didn't even dare to read it!
"Your Majesty, why don't you let this lowly subject read it out?”
"This humble subject is very curious. What battle report did His Highness the Second Prince send?”
Li Si stood up and volunteered.
Last time, he deeply admired Ying Ziqiu's style of not fearing infamy and acting according to the law. This time, he wanted to see if Ying Ziqiu had still purged the Zhao Country's nobles according to the law.
"Good!"
"Then you shall read it."
Ying Zheng nodded and agreed, but he did not force Chunyu Yue.
Li Si picked up the battle report and slowly opened it. The words entered his eyes.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Si was still shocked when he saw the contents and could not help but gasp!
His body stiffened!
A chill swept through his entire body, as if all the blood in his body was about to freeze!
Cold sweat poured down his face!
gurgle ~
His Adam's apple moved as he swallowed with difficulty. His eyes were widened to the extreme!
Small!
The scale was small!
He thought that Ying Ziqiu would at most cleanse the Zhao Country's aristocrats like how he did the Yan Country's!
They never expected Ying Ziqiu to do such a shocking thing!
It was simply appalling!
Oh my god!
Second Prince…How dare he…How did he have the courage…
Was he really not afraid of bearing the infamy of cruelty?
Li Si's performance made Ying Zheng and the entire imperial court nervous!
Even though they did not know what had happened yet!
but...
They knew in their hearts that it must be a shocking event!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Phew!
Li Si took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
He spoke.
Ying Zheng and everyone in the imperial court held their breaths subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu took advantage of the war between Qin and Zhao to break through Yanmen Pass and kill the people of Yanmen.”
"The Second Prince led his troops to the north and killed 50,000 Xiongnu soldiers in Yanmen City in one day!”
Hiss!
They had killed 50,000 Xiongnu soldiers one by one!
Even though they had heard of Ying Ziqiu's invincible actions several times, they still couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts!
That was fifty thousand ferocious Xiongnu cavalry!
F * ck!
Even if he killed 50,000 pigs and sheep in a day, he wouldn't be able to kill them all!？
"Corpses were strewn all over Yanmen City, houses collapsed, and the people died tragically. The Second Prince sent troops to the grasslands in a rage.”
"In just a few days, he destroyed 18 Xiongnu tribes and killed more than 400,000 Xiongnu!”
Hearing this number, the hearts of Ying Zheng and all the ministers pounded wildly!
More than 400,000!
Another 400,000!
Before they could recover from their shock, Li Si spoke again with a trembling voice.
"After that, the Xiongnu Chanyu, Touman, gathered the Xiongnu tribes and a total of 500,000 cavalry in an attempt to encircle and suppress the Second Prince!”
Five hundred thousand cavalry!
This number shocked everyone in the imperial court!
What kind of enormous power was this?
Zhao Gao, Chunyu Yue, and the others even cursed in their hearts that Ying Ziqiu would have been killed by the Xiongnu cavalry!
This way, no one could block their path!
Unfortunately...
The ending was destined to disappoint them!
"The Second Prince stood in the air and condensed a thousand-meter long sword to greet the Xiongnu army!”
"He swept away 50,000 Xiongnu Tiger soldiers with a single sword!”
"Then, with a swing of his sword, he killed the Xiongnu Chanyu and wiped out tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry!”
"Then, the long swords shattered into a rain of swords that pierced through countless Xiongnu soldiers!”
"In the end, he led Meng Tian, Wang Li, and Li Xin to lead the Snowy Dragon Cavalry and the Golden Fire Cavalry to chase after the remaining Xiongnu army for several days and nights and completely annihilate them!”
"Xiongnu…"
" Exterminate!!"
After he finished reading, Li Si slumped to the ground and could no longer muster any strength!
Ying Zheng and all the other ministers were also sweating profusely!
He felt as if he had collapsed!
Fear!
Shocked!
His breathing quickened!
His body trembled!
Everyone felt as if they were in a world of ice and snow!
It was terrifyingly cold!
A rough estimate was that Ying Ziqiu had wiped out at least a million Xiongnu soldiers in this battle!!
This!
What a shocking number!
Even Great Qin's famous God of Slaughter, Lord Wu 'an Baiqi, could not compare to him!
It was simply more of a slaughter than a human slaughter!
