Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 570: Chapter 237: Ying Zheng’s Excitement! Breaking into the Barbarian Royal Court!

With a command from Ying Zheng.

Ren Xiao quickly stepped forward to present the battle report.

Ying Zheng took it and opened it with a complex feeling.

In that instant of opening, Ying Zheng still felt a bit worried, as Zhao Feng leading the army deep into enemy territory was indeed very dangerous.

The battle report was opened.

Upon seeing the words within.

Ying Zheng’s expression slightly changed, and he couldn’t help but smile, then burst into laughter: ”Hahaha.”

”I truly underestimated Zhao Feng.”

”Gentlemen.”

”I underestimated him.”

Seeing this expression on Ying Zheng’s face.

The ministers exchanged glances, but they all understood that this must be good news from within the Eastern Hu territory.

”Great King.”

”Did the Senior General achieve victory?” Yu Liao asked curiously at this moment.

”Indeed.”

”And it’s not a small victory.”

Ying Zheng laughed heartily, all his worries from days past turning into joy.

Subsequently, he directly handed the battle report to Zhao Gao by his side: ”Read it aloud.”

”Yes.”

Zhao Gao respectfully accepted the order.

He then held the battle report and read aloud to the ministers in the hall: ”According to reports from the covert agents within Eastern Hu.

The border tribe of Eastern Hu was attacked and broken by General Zhao Feng’s army days ago.”

”In this battle.”

”The foreign tribes were unprepared and nearly 100,000 were killed by General Zhao Feng, not counting the old, weak, women, and children.”

”Moreover, the grain and fodder transported by the foreign tribes to the border tribe were all set aflame by General Zhao Feng, causing severe losses to the foreign tribes.”

”Besides the border tribe, a total of five tribes within Eastern Hu were slaughtered by General Zhao Feng’s army.”

”Our Qin Army exterminated more than 300,000 of the foreign tribes.”

”Burned countless supplies of grain and fodder of the foreign tribes.”

Zhao Gao announced loudly.

”Zhao Feng truly deserves to be called the War God of Qin.”

”A mere ten thousand troops penetrated Eastern Hu and achieved such results.”

”Slaughtered nearly 300,000 foreign tribes.”

”Burned countless supplies of grain and fodder.”

”This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the foreign tribes.”

”By all this, the foreign tribes absolutely cannot advance south in the short term.” Han Fei immediately said, his tone also full of admiration.

”General Zhao Feng did not slaughter only soldiers among the 300,000 foreign tribes, did he?” Wang Wan asked with a hint of deeper meaning.

”What does the Prime Minister mean by this?”

”Is it unknown that the entire populace of the foreign tribes are soldiers?”

”Could it be you feel any pity for these foreign tribes?”

”Have you forgotten the revenge for the 500,000 souls lost in the Land of Yan?”

Wang Jian did not give Wang Wan any chance to continue, directly retorting coldly.

”Senior General, you overstate.”

”I have absolutely no such intention.” Wang Wan immediately fell silent.

Originally, he did want to discuss the distinction between civilians.

But recalling the tragic state of the Yan people, Wang Wan immediately fell silent.

At this moment, the entire court was furious; the foreign tribes committed city massacres, even if Zhao Feng killed more people, it was deserved.

”Now that General Zhao Feng has killed so many from the foreign tribes and burned so many of their supplies, it seems the battle is decided, and it won’t be long before he returns.” Li Si said with a smile.

”This time, it’s feared that General Zhao Feng’s return won’t be so easy.” Yu Liao suddenly spoke up.

Ying Zheng’s gaze immediately shifted to Yu Liao.

”While the General’s massacre of the foreign tribes is commendable.”

”The Eastern Hu tribe dominates the grassland, suppressing many clans; they are not a weak tribe. Their entire populace being soldiers means they could easily muster an army of hundreds of thousands when assembling all healthy men. Now that Eastern Hu has suffered such a loss, the King of Donghu will surely send reinforcements to encircle the General.”

”Once surrounded, it would be dangerous.” Yu Liao said seriously.

Ying Zheng nodded: ”This time, our Qin seems unable to do much; the message can’t be relayed, so it depends on Zhao Feng’s next move.”

”Please rest assured, Great King.”

”Setting out with only ten thousand elite soldiers into Eastern Hu may be Zhao Feng’s intention.”

”A mere ten thousand troops on the grassland is like sand grains, not easily found by the foreign tribes.”

”I believe Zhao Feng will handle it.” Wang Jian immediately said.

”Mm.” Ying Zheng nodded.

”Continue watching Eastern Hu’s movements closely.”

”Also.”

”Send orders to Tu Sui and Li You stationed in the Land of Yan.”

”If news of Zhao Feng being surrounded by Eastern Hu is received, let them act without awaiting orders, dispatch troops to Eastern Hu at any cost to bring Zhao Feng back.” Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

”I accept the decree.” Yu Liao also respectfully accepted the order.

After the ministers retreated.

”Zhao Feng.”

”Sigh.”

”You must return alive.”

”Upon your return, I will definitely scold you properly.”

”You take your life too lightly.” Ying Zheng cursed inwardly.

Zhao Feng was out in the distance fighting, amidst the far-flung Northern Frontier killing enemies.

Meanwhile, as an old father, he worried anxiously within the Deep Palace.

...

Northern Border Grasslands!

The bodies of thousands of Eastern Hu soldiers lay lifeless on the ground.

And all around were Qin Army soldiers.

Their weapons dripping with blood.

Evidently, a battle had just ended.

”Reporting to the Senior General.”

”A total of 3,700 foreign tribes killed.”

”However, judging by their formation, they are all from the Vanguard Tribe.”

”Not the main force.” Zhang Han reported.

”Our army has been in Eastern Hu territory for over two months now.”

”Destroyed more than ten foreign tribes, killing countless foreign tribes.”

”As for Eastern Hu, they surely don’t want to suffer such losses.”

”I reckon their forces are already fully deployed, ready to encircle us.” Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

”Senior General, what should we do?” Zhang Han asked respectfully.

”Are the two thousand Sharp Warriors ready?” Zhao Feng inquired.

”They are ready.”

Zhang Han immediately replied.

”These two thousand Sharp Warriors will drive the foreign warhorses towards the east of Tu An, luring the foreign tribes there.”
