Chapter 125 Returning, good news and re-entering Xianyang

The arrival of Wang Ben made the Qin army on the grassland even stronger.

Now the Huns did not dare to disobey Ying Yu's orders.

Three days later, in the early morning, Ying Yu led his army and set off in the direction of Da Qin.

Tens of thousands of Qin cavalry, plus two hundred thousand Huns, were mighty.

Like a long dragon, stretching for dozens of miles.

The number of cattle and sheep they carried exceeded one million, and there were nearly half a million war horses.

In addition, there are a small amount of gold, silver, mare's milk and other materials.

.....

At the same time, more than ten miles outside Xianyang City.

The rapid hooves of the horses crushed the dust on the ground, and a Qin knight arrived outside the city in an instant."

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Great victory, Gongziyu led his army to defeat the Xiongnu!"

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way."

Seeing the envoys speeding towards them, the Qin army officers responsible for guarding the gate immediately dispersed the surrounding people to make way for a passage.

The messenger was out of breath from exhaustion, but his expression couldn't stop being excited!

He kept shouting about great victory.

The envoy shouted and galloped towards Xianyang Palace.

Wherever he passed, all pedestrians gave way.

"How many times has this been a great victory?"

"I don't remember. Good news has come too frequently in the past month or so."

"Another great victory. The Sixth Young Master is truly brave and unparalleled."

In the past, when good news came back, the people of Xianyang City would be overjoyed and celebrate in various ways.

But things are different now.

Frequent good news has made them so accustomed to it that they have even become a little numb.

"I don't know when the young master will come back."

Looking at the messenger speeding away, Xiao He sighed with emotion.

Next to Xiao He was a man in white, who was Zhang Liang.

Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.

It was early in the morning, and the First Emperor Ying Zheng was holding a court meeting with his ministers.

"Your Majesty, spring has begun now, but the disaster in the three counties of Surabaya, Jiujiang, and Kuaiji is too serious. Countless people are hungry and displaced. The governors of the three counties have written letters requesting the imperial court to allocate money and food for disaster relief."

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng, who was already in a bad mood, became even more ugly.

"How much food is left in the national treasury?"

Ying Zheng frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, there was a severe drought last year and the Huns invaded. Now our Great Qin treasury is empty."

Feng Quji had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"The disaster in the three counties is so serious. Do you have any good ideas to solve it?"

After the First Emperor finished speaking, all the officials bowed their heads.

Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others all had helpless expressions on their faces.

In recent years, Great Qin has suffered from natural and man-made disasters.

Plus the Great Wall, Chidao, Epang Palace and other massive projects.

The Great Qin treasury has always been unable to make ends meet.

Now we have reached the point where we are running out of ammunition and food.

Looking at the silent officials, the First Emperor's face changed slightly, and after a slight silence he spoke:

"That's all, let's stop at Afang Palace first!"

When Brother Zheng said this, all the officials were shocked.

You must know that many ministers had previously dissuaded His Majesty the First Emperor from stopping the Epang Palace, the Great Wall and other projects.

But without exception, all were rejected by His Majesty the First Emperor.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually figured it out on his own today.

"Your Majesty, will the Great Wall and Chidao also stop?"

A look of surprise flashed across Feng Jie's face and he asked quickly.

“The Great Wall and Chidao are important weapons of the country, so how can we stop them just now?

Although the Xiongnu were defeated, who can guarantee that they will not come back?"

As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Seeing all the officials looking at him, Wang Li was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

Because he is worried about the war with the Huns, His Majesty has been in a bad mood for a while. This is something everyone knows.

Why don't I open the pot and pick up the pot?

It was all this kid Feng Jie who caused this.

Sure enough, when he heard the word Xiongnu, Brother Zheng's face suddenly darkened.

When all the officials saw this, they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to speak out.

For fear of being noticed by His Majesty the First Emperor.

The atmosphere in Qilin Hall immediately became solemn.

Just at this time.

"His Majesty!"

"General Mengtian reports urgently!"

Zhang Han was seen holding a report and quickly walked into the Qilin Hall.

"Mengtian urgent report?"

"Hurry up and bring it up!"

Liu Shu, who was on the side, trotted off the high platform quickly, took the report from Zhang Han, and presented it to the First Emperor.

There has been no news from Ying Yu for a week, which makes Brother Zheng particularly worried.

Although he is the world-famous First Emperor, he is also a father.

In the past, he was extremely disappointed with his sons.

Now that he has finally given birth to a son that satisfies him, it's no wonder Brother Zheng is so worried.

Brother Zheng received the emergency report and even felt uneasy in his heart.

I was afraid that what I would see after opening it would be bad news.

And all the officials in Qilin Hall also started talking about it.

"General Meng Tian's urgent report. I don't know what's going on with the war in the north."

"Didn't I say last time that Gong Ziyu was going to ambush the Xiongnu reinforcements at the Xiongnu Royal Court? I don't know what the outcome will be."

"In my opinion, although the Xiongnu are severely weakened, they can still gather a hundred and eighty thousand cavalry, which is more than enough."

"Yes, the young master and General Meng Tian only have 20,000 people, and they are going deep alone. I think this urgent report may be the news of defeat."

"Hey... I hope Gong Ziyu is fine, otherwise His Majesty will be furious."

Obviously, most of the officials do not think highly of Ying Yu.

On the throne, Brother Zheng looked at the ministers who were talking about it, snorted coldly and prepared to open the report.

But when he saw the words "Great Victory" written on it, Brother Zheng changed his mind.

"Zhang Han, come and read it to them."

At this time, there was no emotion or anger on Brother Zheng's face, but he was already happy in his heart.

What a great victory.

Another great victory, this son is really awesome.

When the ministers in the Qilin Hall heard this, they immediately shut up.

Everyone looked at Zhang Han.

After receiving the memorial, Zhang Han took a deep breath and slowly opened it.

Then he read it loudly.

"On March 5, the thirty-eighth year of the First Emperor, Lou Nan, the second prince of the Huns, learned that the royal court had been destroyed and established himself as a Chanyu!"

Before Zhang Han finished reciting, there was a burst of excitement in the Qilin Hall.

"Touman hasn't died yet, and his son is eager to stand on his own feet. The Huns may be in civil strife."

"Yes, Touman is not dead. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lou Nan to convince the public."

"It's better if there is chaos. Once the Huns mess up Gong Ziyu, they will be safe."

Many ministers showed joy.

Although Ying Yu, the young master of Qin Dynasty, usually behaves a bit out of character.

But his talent is obvious to all.

Most officials in the DPRK did not want anything to happen to him.

Zhang Han cleared his throat and was stunned when he read the battle report.

Although I already knew it was good news.

But when I saw the content inside, I still felt shocked, unbelievable and ecstatic.

Incredible, incredible.

"Zhang Han, keep reading."

"Did something happen to the accident?"

Seeing Zhang Han's obviously uncomfortable expression, the officials' hearts suddenly trembled.
