Chapter 128

Forget even looking at history; even if you dug up the Classic of Mountains and Seas and all sorts of myths and legends, no one would dare fabricate something like this!

It's too supernatural!

Whoever dares to write this will surely be blasted to death! They will surely be cursed as brainless!

But the matter happened just like that!

Li Yuanba, alone, forcibly ended a battle!

And facing such a divine person, everyone was extremely panicked and terrified!

Even... General Meng Tian feared whether Li Yuanba would kill them all as well.

At this moment, he instinctively stepped backward!

However, Li Yuanba did not pay them any attention.

He looked around once, and finally, directly rode away on Wanli Yanyunzhao!

Watching him leave, General Meng Tian, Tell Meng Wu, and they all breathed a huge sigh of relief!

Standing next to Li Yuanba, the pressure was truly too great.

It's good that he left!

Since he left, they no longer worried these armies would die miserably!

But... just as they had just relaxed, suddenly, Li Yuanba, who had already left, actually returned!

Riding Ma Pi, he actually came back!

"Form ranks!"

"Form ranks!"

At that moment, a general shouted!

Similarly, there were also generals frantically shouting to flee for their lives!

Seeing Li Yuanba return, their courage was shattered; some timid soldiers actually started urinating their pants!

Especially that group of surrendered soldiers who had previously followed Seeing Xiang Yu; their courage had long been shattered by Li Yuanba.

Until death, they could not forget the shocking scene of Li Yuanba killing one hundred thousand people alone!

They were very worried that Li Yuanba would return and kill them all!

Even Tell Meng Wu felt panicked along with them!

Could it be... could it be... that the new Emperor ordered Li Yuanba to kill everyone without distinguishing friend from foe?

Thinking carefully, there is this possibility!

After all... this is an army of three hundred thousand!

An army of three hundred thousand listening only to the First Emperor and not to him is a threat to him; it must be eliminated!

And only by eliminating this army of three hundred thousand will his imperial throne be stable enough!

"Form ranks!"

"Release arrows!"

Tell Meng Wu almost instinctively wanted to shout!

But that order ultimately was not shouted out.

Because, Li Yuanba spoke first:

"Convey the Emperor's decree: send all military supplies, grain, armor, equipment, Qian Cai, and other items of Seeing Xiang Yu's great army into the national treasury; if even a single grain of grain is missing, kill your entire family!"

"Additionally, forty li away, I have dug a huge pit; you may bury all the corpses in that pit!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced toward the direction of that huge pit!

To be honest, this battle was not perfect!

In his plan, he would kill people directly beside the huge pit; after killing, he would bury them immediately, saving even the effort of transporting them!

It's just... Seeing Xiang Yu's great army did not take the bait!

Li Yuanba shook his head, feeling it was very boring; he rode Wanli Yanyunzhao and left directly!

And watching him leave helplessly, Tell Meng Wu, General Meng Tian, and they breathed a huge sigh of relief!

What they feared most was Li Yuanba killing indiscriminately.

Fortunately, all of this did not happen!

After Li Yuanba left, everyone immediately began to count the supplies.

Similarly, Tell Meng Wu also prepared to write a battle report and send it back to Xianyang!

However, just as he was about to write the battle report, Tell Meng Wu froze!

That is... how should this battle report be written?

Yes!

Before, they all predicted that this battle might last at least two months!

They had even prepared to fight for half a year!

Some generals even predicted that for a battle of three hundred thousand against four hundred thousand, even if it lasted three to five years, it would not be an exaggeration at all.

But... one day!

It ended in merely one day.

At that moment, Tell Meng Wu's head felt a bit dazed!

But... this battle report must be written anyway.

Moreover, it must be written as soon as possible.

Because... just before, after confirming Li Yuanba was coming, he had someone send a secret letter to Seeing Ying Zheng.

Telling the First Emperor that Li Yuanba was not in Xianyang City!

The meaning behind this was self-evident!

And now, he must quickly use this battle report to tell the First Emperor not to act rashly!

He truly must not act rashly!

Without resolving Li Yuanba, there is no hope of resolving Ying Su!

Before a mighty man capable of crushing four hundred thousand soldiers, no schemes or tricks will work!

It's just... how should this battle report be written?

Should it be written truthfully?

Wouldn't that make his own army look utterly useless?

Indeed!

Li Yuanba alone hammered to death over three hundred thousand people; the remaining tens of thousands either fled or surrendered. So what about Meng Wu's great army?

Is Meng Wu's great army just there to eat dry rice?

Writing such a battle report would be a complete slap in his own face!

But... it cannot be written untruthfully either.

If written untruthfully, not only would it violate Qin laws, but it would also tarnish Meng Wu's reputation!

A reputation tarnished by covering up the truth for the sake of merit!

Meng Wu was a man of the army, and he hated such things the most!

Yet he could also imagine what kind of sensation such a battle report would cause if sent out.

At that moment, those who already feared Ying Su would only fear Ying Su even more!

Wouldn't his imperial throne become secure then?

Once that time came, how could the Eldest Young Master Prince Fusu possibly return?

No!

The battle report absolutely cannot be written truthfully!

Meng Wu made up his mind!

Even... this matter must not be allowed to spread!

After pondering for a long time, he decided to write two reports!

One would be a secret report, submitted to Ying Zheng, recounting the true facts!

The other would be the battle report, needing only to be simple; omit the process, state only the result.

After pondering for a long time, he felt this was appropriate!

Afterwards, he immediately began writing!

At the same time, the great army also began to move!
