Early morning.
Qin Country.
As soon as the gate of Xianyang City opened, a fast horse rushed into the city.
The person on the horse was wearing the armor of the Qin army. He held the reins in one hand and the battle report scroll in the other.
That person raised the scroll in his hand high up, his face filled with ecstasy and excitement!
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
"Great victory in the Battle of Qin and Yan!"
The scout shouted as he galloped on the street.
The commoners on the streets all made way when they heard the sound of horse hooves.
When they heard the scout's voice, the people were shocked.
The Second Young Master led his troops to attack the Yan Country. How long had it been, and there was already good news from the front?
Apart from being shocked, these commoners felt happy, proud, and proud.
As the scouts galloped on the streets, the sound of good news resounded throughout Xianyang City.
The people of Xianyang were all shocked!
It had only been less than a month since the Second Young Master sent troops to the Yan Country, and there was already good news?
This speed was too fast!
One had to know that a war could take at least a year, or at most several years.
Back then, the Qin State used a year to destroy Korea and three years to destroy the Zhao State.
And only a month had passed, and there was already good news, a great victory!
What was a great victory?
Only when the Qin Country destroyed the Yan Country or defeated the Yan Country's main army would that be considered a great victory!
In Xianyang Palace.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, and all his officials were holding their daily court meeting.
"Dear ministers, what is the matter?”
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, his face solemn as he said in a clear voice.
"I have something to report!"
"Your Majesty, it has been more than half a month since Second Young Master sent troops to Yan Country.”
"Ran…"
"There hasn't been a single battle report yet!”
"I'm worried that Second Young Master has been surrounded by the enemy, which is why we can't send back the battle report.”
"It's even possible that the Qin army has been completely annihilated!”
"Your Majesty, please immediately send troops to rescue the Second Young Master!”
Censor Wang Wan stood out and reported to Ying Zheng.
As Wang Wan's words fell, an uproar immediately broke out in the imperial court.
Many officials nodded in agreement.
The situation that Wang Wan mentioned was very likely to happen.
Back then, when Qin destroyed Zhao, Huan He led 300,000 troops to attack Zhao.
In the end, they were defeated by Li Mu of the State of Zhao, and the 300,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out.
Second Young Master Ying Ziyu had only brought 80,000 soldiers with him when he sent out his army to the Yan Country. How could he resist the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Yan Country?
The possibility of the Qin army being completely wiped out by the Yan Country was very high.
Hearing Wang Wan's words, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was also very worried about Ying Ziyu's safety. He regretted sending Ying Ziyu to the battlefield.
Besides Ying Ziyu, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian were also on this expedition.
If they were killed by the Yan army…
That would be a huge blow to the Qin country.
There would be no generals in the Qin country to lead the army!
"Your Majesty, I agree with the Imperial Censor!”
"Your Majesty, please send reinforcements immediately!"
Li Si quickly stood up and supported Wang Wan's suggestion.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"Your Majesty, please send reinforcements immediately!"
…………
For a moment, many officials in the imperial court echoed and requested Ying Zheng to send reinforcements.
Whether it was Ying Ziyu, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, or Meng Wu, they were all very important to the Qin Country.
No matter who they lost, it would be a huge blow to the Qin country.
It would even cause the Qin country to be unable to recover in a short period of time.
Therefore, they asked Ying Zheng to send troops to help them.
However, there were also some people who were gloating, such as Fu Su, Chunyu Yue, and Lord Chang Ping.
When they heard that the army led by Student Ying might have been wiped out, they were actually secretly happy.
"Second Young Master is arrogant and conceited. He only brought 80,000 troops and dared to attack the Yan Country.”
"Now, the Qin army is in danger because of Second Young Master.”
Chunyu Yue mocked Ying Ziyu, trying to suppress his prestige in the imperial court.
"I also feel that Second Young Master is too rash.”
"I agree with Your Majesty sending troops to rescue Second Young Master. However, after rescuing Second Young Master, you must hold him accountable.”
"Otherwise, we will be sorry for the 80,000 soldiers who died.”
Lord Chang Ping also spoke.
As the uncle of the eldest son, Fu Su, Lord Chang Ping naturally stood on Fu Su's side.
Now that he had a chance to suppress Ying Ziyu, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
At this moment, no matter if it was the Lord of Chang Ping, Li Si, Wang Wan, or the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, as well as all the civil and military officials in the court, they all agreed.
The 80,000 soldiers led by Ying Ziyu had already been defeated.
In fact, they had all been wiped out.
After all, it might be possible for an army of 80,000 to take down a city, but taking down a country was simply wishful thinking.
"Now is not the time to ask for responsibility. The most important thing now is to send troops to rescue Second Young Master.”
Prime Minister Feng Quji frowned coldly, feeling somewhat displeased with Lord Changping.
At a time like this, Lord Changping only cared about suppressing Ying Ziyu.
Hearing this, Lord Chang Ping didn't dare to make a sound.
Although Feng Quji and Lord Changping were both Prime Ministers, Feng Quji was the Right Prime Minister while Lord Changping was the Left Prime Minister.
Feng Quji's status was above Lord Chang Ping.
At this moment.
"Your Majesty!"
"There's a report from the scouts at the front line!"
The voice of a guard suddenly rang out in the hall.
"Quick…let him in!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng said hurriedly, his voice anxious and impatient.
He was eager to know the exact situation of his son.
Not long after.
A scout walked into the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"This is the battle report that General Wang Jian ordered me to deliver.”
"I present it to the king!"
The scout knelt on one knee and respectfully presented the scroll with both hands.
