Anyang City was very, very big. It was one of the few big cities in the entire country of Zhao.
Now, they were all in the hands of the Qin army.
Following that, Fu Su wrote the battle report.
After Anyang fell, Fu Su did not have to do anything himself. Wang Ben and Yang Duan led the army, and in ten days, thirteen Cities fell into Great Qin's hands.
It completely penetrated the defense of the entire country of Zhao.
The State of Zhao could be said to be at its weakest while Great Qin was at its strongest.
When Xianyang City received the urgent battle report, Ying Zheng was filled with disbelief.
One had to know how long it had been since Fu Su sent out his troops.
Lin Luyi could understand, but Ying Zheng knew better than anyone what kind of place Anyang was.
That was an important city of the State of Zhao.
The land of Anyang could be said to be a chain to guard against the Qin country.
Moreover, over the years, in order to guard against the Qin country, Anyang had been reinforced many times by the Zhao country. It was already impregnable.
Even if they could win the war, Ying Zheng's mental expectation was that it would drag on for a few months, and it was even possible that they would be stuck in a stalemate.
And now.
Looking at the battle report in his hands, Ying Zheng kept sucking in cold breaths.
"Killing Hu Noir, forcing Sima Shang to retreat, breaking through Anyang, and Fusu, the surprises you give me are really increasing!”Ying Zheng mumbled to himself.
The battle report was very simple. It only contained the number of casualties and the outcome of the battle. The most important thing was the outcome.
Although Cheng Fusu did not mention it, how could Ying Zheng not know about it?
Such a result.
For Ying Zheng, he had never thought of destroying the State of Zhao from the very beginning.
This time, he was just going to take a hit.
If they could break through Anyang, that would be the best. If they could not break through, the purpose of the war would be achieved.
But now…
Ying Zheng felt that he could look forward to it.
"Call Wang Wan and Li Si over immediately.”Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.
Currently, Ying Zheng only had two trusted ministers, Wang Wan and Li Si. Of course, they were not the so-called prime ministers yet, but merely the chief justice and the imperial censor.
Soon, in less than an hour, Wang Wan and Li Si arrived at the palace.
It was already midnight.
Ying Zheng was merely wearing his resting clothes, waiting for them here.
"In this battle, how much of a chance do you think we have of winning if we destroy Zhao?”Ying Zheng's words shocked Li Si and Wang Wan.
There was only one thought in their minds-Ying Zheng had become arrogant?
"About 30%." Li Si made a bold statement.
If not for Ying Zheng, he would have said ten percent.
Destroy the State of Zhao?
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
From the beginning, they had no intention of destroying the State of Zhao. They only wanted to attack the State of Zhao's strength to achieve their goal.
Destroying Zhao also required a long time to plan.
"Fusu has already broken through Anyang a few days ago and conquered more than ten cities. 100,000 soldiers of Great Qin are already at Ye City, and Handan is within reach.”Ying Zheng slapped the table and stood up, feeling very excited.
Wang Wan frowned and shook her head."Your Majesty, this is not the best time to destroy Zhao.”
"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng asked.
"The Battle of Handan twenty years ago caused Great Qin to lose more than 200,000 soldiers. Now, Great Qin still needs to rest and recover, and we didn't plan to destroy Zhao from the start. If we rashly attack Handan, we'll easily fall back into the dangerous situation from twenty years ago.”Wang Wan explained.
This sentence interrupted Ying Zheng's imagination.
The battle 20 years ago had caused Great Qin to be greatly weakened, and it had lost 200,000 soldiers. After 20 years, Great Qin had not recovered from its injuries.
And Wang Wan was right.
Handan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to break through Handan, it will be even more difficult.
Sigh!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and walked to the entrance of the rear hall, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"Fu Su, you really gave me a surprise!”Ying Zheng muttered to himself.
As for Xianyang City, they had only received the news a few days ago.
Even if it was 800 miles away, it would not be able to send the battle report immediately. It would take time.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, the army entered the hinterland of Zhao.
Fu Su led the army all the way to Ye City.
Ye City was Handan's last gate.
They were getting closer and closer to conquering the State of Zhao.
At this moment, Fu Su was also unable to remain calm.
If there was no chance, then so be it.
However, Fu Su naturally wanted to try to destroy the State of Zhao.
If the State of Zhao was destroyed nine years earlier, then the time taken to unify the Six Directions would be shortened by nearly ten years.
Now, they had ten years to stabilize Great Qin.
There were ten years to consolidate it.
Would Great Qin still die?
No.
It was the same moon, and the moonlight shone on Fu Su's face, making it look white.
At this moment, Fu Su was standing in front of a lake.
The army also needed to choose a place with sufficient water and easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Along the way, from the start of the expedition until now, Fu Su had already conquered more than 30 cities.
They were getting closer and closer to conquering the capital of Zhao.
Perhaps the heavens did not favor him.
As the siege approached, heavy snow fell from the sky again.
Fu Su looked at the surface of the lake. At this moment, the surface of the lake was completely covered in ice and snow. In front of him was a snowy scene.
"At this moment, Fu Su should be feeling sad. After entering the battlefield, did you realize that Young Master Fu Su never smiled?”Little Sister Dai watched this scene from afar and could not help but feel a little heartache.
Because the moonlight and the snowy scenery were shining on Fu Su's body, the little girl's eyes were filled with melancholy.
