Chapter 1294

Ying Zheng glanced at the minister who spoke, without any intention of blaming him.

He didn't mind sharing this good news with them.

How could such big news be hidden?

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers below and spoke loudly.

"The Great Qin elite soldiers fought against the Xiongnu army with equal numbers."

"The Great Qin elite soldiers completely defeated the Xiongnu army!"

"And they completely defeated the Xiongnu at a very small cost!"

Boom...!

Once Ying Zheng said this.

The Qilin Hall boiled over.

No wonder the Emperor was so happy.

It turned out they had defeated the Xiongnu; no wonder.

Just now the Emperor still had a cold face, but now he was so happy.

This news was truly worth being excited about.

The Xiongnu were a thorn in Great Qin's side that couldn't be pulled out.

Now that there was a chance to defeat them, it was truly worth being happy about.

Before the ministers could say much, the Emperor's voice continued to sound.

"This battle was extremely intense, but the Great Qin elite soldiers are a tiger-wolf army, invincible in the world!"

"The Great Qin elite soldiers suffered over one hundred thousand casualties, but the Xiongnu army suffered forty thousand deaths and injuries!"

"About four hundred thousand soldiers were captured and are being escorted back to Great Qin on the road."

"The Xiongnu King fled with the remaining twenty thousand soldiers."

"This is the latest battle situation on the northern border!"

"Now is the time when manpower is needed to build the new capital city, and Ying Zi Ye has sent people."

"How can this not make me happy?"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face had hardly stopped.

These pieces of news leaked from the Emperor's mouth.

The ministers listened blankly.

Their emotions were infected, and everyone was overjoyed.

Therefore, they also discussed loudly.

"It was finished so quickly?"

"This is a complete victory!"

"They actually captured four hundred thousand Xiongnu soldiers?!"

"Now is the time when manpower is needed to build the new capital city; we don't have to worry this time!"

"Heaven truly helps my Great Qin!"

"Too good, in the future, the great grassland will be incorporated into my Great Qin map."

"The Great Qin map can be expanded again; let the whole world celebrate!"

"These news came just in time!"

"My Great Qin tiger-wolf army is indeed invincible in the world!"

"They actually crippled the Xiongnu at such a small cost."

"I didn't expect the Xiongnu to have so many troops; it's truly terrifying."

The ministers discussed heatedly; it seemed that the previous conscription was correct.

The Crown Prince truly had a long-term vision; they had tried to stop it before.

Fortunately, there were new soldiers, and adding the border defense army made them so fierce.

Now the border defense army plus the new soldiers could take down nearly a million Xiongnu troops.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be realistic to transfer soldiers from Nanyue to fight the Xiongnu again.

It wouldn't be possible to take down the Xiongnu by relying solely on the border defense army.

Taking down the Xiongnu, capturing the Xiongnu.

This news was truly inspiring.

Although the Xiongnu King fled with twenty thousand soldiers.

But these twenty thousand soldiers were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Great Qin elite soldiers.

Nearly a million Xiongnu troops were not enough for the Great Qin elite soldiers to fight.

What kind of waves could the twenty thousand fleeing Xiongnu soldiers stir up?

Wasn't taking them down only a matter of time?

The ministers smiled at each other and shouted in unison.

"Heaven bless Great Qin!"

"Great Qin for ten thousand years!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

The sound waves on the Qilin Hall were higher than the last.

It was all the shouting of the ministers.

If it were before, they might have worried.

How to settle so many captives.

Now they didn't think that way; they would certainly all be used to build the city walls.

It was truly a timely rain.

Otherwise, they wouldn't know what to do.

Ying Zheng's smile had not stopped.

There were two other pieces of news in the letter that he didn't mention.

One piece of news was the settlement of the Xiongnu captives in the future.

The letter mentioned assimilating the Xiongnu people.

Assimilate the Xiongnu captives who behave well, and continue to reform those who don't behave well.

This was Ying Zi Ye's proposal.

The reason was that Great Qin's population was too small.

There were so many captives; killing them all would incur too much bad karma and violate the harmony of heaven.

If they could be assimilated, then assimilation was definitely the best.

But as for how to assimilate, the decision-making power was in Ying Zheng's hands.

Ying Ying Zi Ye just gave him a suggestion and proposed it.

Ying Zheng also thought about it because of this.

But thinking about it, these were all subsequent problems.

Now there was no need to make a decision so quickly.

Let's solve the problems at hand first!

Ying Zheng picked up paper and brush and began to write on the Xuan paper.

Soon he filled a piece of Xuan paper.

He put the Xuan paper into a bamboo tube and handed it to a eunuch.

"Send this to the soldiers escorting the Xiongnu captives with all speed."

"Let them send the people to Lishan."

"The task of building the Lishan new capital city wall will be handed over to those Xiongnu captives."

"Yes!"

The eunuch took the bamboo tube and left the Qilin Hall quickly.

Ying Zheng became quiet again.

His brows were slightly furrowed.

There was one more thing in the letter. ===== CHAPTER 1296 =====
