Chapter 595: Chapter 245: Ying Zheng: Zhao Feng Killed the King of Donghu? The Court Is Shocked! (Part 2)
Upon hearing this.
Xiao He’s face also showed a hint of excitement, and he immediately said, “How could I refuse the invitation of the Shangjiangjun?”
Meanwhile, the numerous officials of Shaqiu looked on with envy.
Although the new Prefect has just arrived, his abilities have convinced many people. However, in this era, ability alone might not offer an opportunity for advancement.
But now it is different.
General Zhao Feng has the intention of bringing him into his circle.
This is a tremendous opportunity.
The former Shaoqiu Governor, Yan Bing, since he got on the path with Zhao Feng, has now assumed an important position, and could one day become a Capital Official, reaching the heights of authority.
Such opportunities are not available to everyone.
But now Xiao He has it.
“Then let’s temporarily arrange the governance of Shaqiu.”
“Prefect Xiao, please accompany me back to Sha Village.” Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
“Thank you, General.” Xiao He expressed his gratitude.
Suppressing his inner excitement.
He quickly turned around and said to the many officials behind him, “I will accompany the General back to Sha Village, and I ask all of you, sirs, to kindly look after the prefectural city’s affairs.”
“Go ahead, Prefect.”
“We, the officials in the prefectural city, are sufficient.” The officials of the city collectively responded.
“Can you ride a horse?” Zhao Feng looked at Xiao He and asked.
“Of course.” Xiao He nodded with a smile.
“Zhang Ming.”
Zhao Feng gestured with a wave.
Zhang Ming immediately had a trusted aide lead a warhorse over.
Zhao Feng also mounted his own warhorse.
“Let’s set off.”
Zhao Feng chuckled.
Then.
The convoy started moving slowly towards Sha Village.
“How long have you been in Shaqiu, Prefect Xiao?”
As they rode slowly, Zhao Feng asked Xiao He.
“Reporting to the General.”
“I have been in Shaqiu for four years, always serving in one of the counties under Shaqiu County.” Xiao He replied truthfully.
“Originally, I was to be transferred to another county, but due to Governor Yan Bing’s recommendation, I became the Shaoqiu Governor.” Xiao He explained truthfully.
“How do you view the situation in the world, Prefect Xiao?” Zhao Feng asked again.
“In my opinion.”
“Within four years, the world will be unified.”
“The world will become the Daqin World.”
“At that time.”
“There will be no more wars in the world, and the Huaxia People will enjoy peace.” Xiao He spoke with a look of longing.
“Is it difficult to govern a county, Prefect Xiao?” Zhao Feng smiled again.
“Shaqiu County has a total population of just over 400,000, and I can manage it with ease.” Xiao He replied with a smile.
He could naturally see the intent of Zhao Feng’s examination in these words.
“Prefect Xiao has great talent indeed.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.
“To receive praise from the General is truly my honor.” Xiao He immediately responded with excitement.
The historical Three Heroes at the Beginning of the Han Dynasty now appeared before Zhao Feng like a fan, indicating the extent of Zhao Feng’s current reputation.
Now Zhao Feng truly holds a position of supreme power, only awaiting ascension to Grand Commandant, where he would be second only to one and above millions.
In the eyes of the observant.
Even among the Qin populace, it is clear that.
The future will inevitably see Zhao Feng take this position.
Besides Zhao Feng, it seems no other general qualifies.
After all, Zhao Feng’s military achievements are unparalleled.
“I have some fine wine at home.”
“Once we return to Sha Village, I would like to drink heartily with Prefect Xiao.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Xiao He’s eyes lit up, and he immediately clasped his hands and said, “I would eagerly pursue this opportunity.”
…
Xianyang!
Morning Discussion Hall!
“To report to the Great King.”
“I have just returned from Xiangping.”
“The Shangjiangjun has successfully returned from the Northern Frontier.” Ren Xiao reported excitedly, bowing to Zhao Feng.
Upon hearing this!
Ying Zheng breathed a complete sigh of relief.
“This boy.”
“Has ultimately returned safely.”
“I no longer need to worry about him continuously.”
“Had anything happened in the Northern Frontier, Efang could never face me again in this lifetime.” Ying Zheng was also deeply relieved.
And in the court.
Many ministers concerned about Zhao Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
“The General’s safe return is a blessing for our Qin.”
“We ministers congratulate the Great King.”
“The General’s significant campaign against the foreign tribes should be recorded in history, remembered forever.”
“We congratulate the Great King…”
The court’s numerous civil and military officials loudly congratulated.
“Having returned from the Northern Frontier, why did he not return with you?” Ying Zheng came to his senses and frowned, asking.
“Reporting to the Great King.”
“After the General’s return.”
“The foreign tribes continued to pursue relentlessly.”
“The General, with his army, defended at Xiangping, decisively defeating the foreign tribes and beheading the King of Donghu, this is the battle report.”
Ren Xiao, brimmed with excitement, held a battle report in his hands.
As his voice fell.
The whole court was astonished.
They looked at Ren Xiao in disbelief.
“Commander Ren, what did you say?”
“Zhao Feng beheaded the King of Donghu?” Wang Jian thought his ears were playing tricks, quickly asking Ren Xiao.
“The General destroyed many foreign tribes, slaughtering hundreds of thousands, prompting the King of Donghu to pursue in fury.”
“Ultimately the General led troops to personally behead him.”
“Detailed circumstances are all within the battle report.” Ren Xiao respectfully replied, holding the battle report up high.
Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand: “Read it!”
Ren Xiao, without any hesitation, directly opened the report, stood straight, and loudly read: “Subject Zhao Feng, reports to the Great King!”
“The subject selected ten thousand elite soldiers from the Cavalry Regiment, along with two thousand trusted aides under his command.”
“Led a force of twelve thousand into the land of the Northern Border foreign tribes.”
“After four months of fierce battle.”
“Finally returned to Qin’s Xiangping from the Northern Frontier.”
“Four months of fierce battle.”
“The subject’s rough estimation.”
“Total destruction of thirty-five foreign tribes, varying in size.”
“More than fifty thousand foreign tribe members perished under the subject’s army.”
“The foreign tribes’ Royal Court was almost completely destroyed by my forces, reduced to ruins.”
“The food supplies, livestock reserves of foreign tribes, and all things passed by my army, were utterly destroyed.”
