Chapter 140

While he is still alive, he can only contentedly serve as his own son.

At worst, I will let him concurrently serve as the Administrator of Grain and Revenue, working with Xiao He to raise funds and fill the Qin Empire's treasury.

If he thinks the rank is too low, then kick out Wang Wan, the Administrator of the Capital, and let Facing Ying Su replace Wang Wan to become the Administrator of the Capital!

In charge of the Qin Empire's grain, revenue, and taxation affairs!

And it is not only Facing Ying Su that he has arranged; even his hundred thousand troops, along with Yu Yu Huatian and the five thousand garrison soldiers, Seeing Ying Zheng has arranged everything!

As for Zhang Liang and Huang Chao...

To be honest, Seeing Ying Zheng has a huge headache regarding these two!

Speaking logically, he cannot bear to kill these two!

Huang Chao has made a huge contribution to filling the treasury!

Zhang Liang's strategic depth is so profound that even he has heard of it.

But... these two must be killed!

Zhang Liang attempted to assassinate him; based on this alone, he cannot survive!

Huang Chao killed too many people while collecting taxes; if he is not killed, it will not be enough to quell the nobles' anger!

It is already very difficult to save a rebellious son from death; wanting to save these two is simply impossible!

Therefore, these two are definitely going to die!

Seeing Ying Zheng was pondering all of this.

Just then, suddenly, Zhao Gao ran over in a hurry!

Seeing Ying Zheng smiled: "Has Outside Xianyanggong been captured?"

Zhao Gao said nothing, but knelt down in extreme terror, holding two memorials above his head!

"What is this!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

But he still took the two memorials!

Upon looking, he realized that these two memorials were actually both frontline battle reports!

One was a normal battle report, while the other was a secret report!

"A secret report?"

Seeing Ying Zheng frowned!

But he still opened the battle report first to take a look.

"Your subject Meng Wu reports to Your Majesty the Emperor: Xiang Yu's four hundred thousand troops have been pacified; thirty-eight thousand were taken prisoner, twelve thousand escaped, and the remaining people were all killed. This battle is a great victory!"

After reading this battle report, Seeing Ying Zheng was stunned!

And then... wild joy!

In that instant, he almost jumped up with excitement!

Xiang Yu's four hundred thousand troops have been pacified!

Thirty-eight thousand taken prisoner!

Twelve thousand escaped!

The rest were all killed!

That means... a total of three hundred and fifty thousand people were killed!

"A great victory!"

"A great victory!"

Seeing Ying Zheng was extremely excited.

But... the more excited he looked, the more Zhao Gao trembled!

At this very moment, he was extremely terrified, extremely afraid!

And only after Seeing Ying Zheng had been excited for a long time did he notice Zhao Gao's 387 condition!

He immediately became unhappy and kicked Zhao Gao: "Why are you panicking!"

Zhao Gao said nothing!

Seeing Ying Zheng's eyebrows twisted even tighter.

Because... whenever Zhao Gao acts like this, it means something bad has happened!

Something bad?

Where could something bad come from?

Did Wang Jian fail to capture Outside Xianyanggong, and the rebellious son was not captured?

How is that possible!

Without Li Yuanba, Facing Ying Su only has five thousand men!

Five thousand men holding off an army of one hundred and fifty thousand?

Is that nonsense?

Isn't this nonsense?

He simply did not believe it!

This battle was a certain victory!

But what else could be bad?

Could it be... the problem lies in the secret report?

Seeing Ying Zheng frowned and looked at the secret report in his hand!

He really could not figure out what bad news could come from Meng Wu's side!

Could it be... that Meng Wu killed Li Yuanba?

Or perhaps, Li Yuanba killed indiscriminately, slaughtering Meng Wu's entire army?

Ying Zheng's heart tightened, and he quickly opened the secret report!

The moment he opened the secret report, he panicked!

That battle report contained only a few short words!

Yet the secret report was densely packed!

It filled three whole sheets of linen paper!

But Ying Zheng still finished reading it!

And after finishing this secret report, Ying Zheng couldn't help but draw in a sharp, cold breath!

Because... the secret report said much, such as how fierce Xiang Yu was, and how he broke through layer by layer of encirclement.

All of this left Ying Zheng shocked!

He was shocked that the descendant of Xiang Yan could be so fierce!

Relying solely on himself, he had successively broken Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben's armies!

And he had cut in and out of these armies multiple times!

But... this Xiang Yu's ferocity, compared to Li Yuanba, was nothing!

Because... Meng Wu's secret report stated it.

Li Yuanba alone smashed to death over three hundred thousand people!

"Over three hundred thousand people..."

Ying Zheng stared at the secret report; at that moment, his heart trembled with fear!

It was hard for him to imagine how Li Yuanba could have smashed to death over three hundred thousand people alone!

But... he had seen the sight of an army of over three hundred thousand people!

Back when he sent Li Xin off to war, he had given him thirty thousand people!

Thirty thousand people! They almost burst the entire Outside Xianyanggong!

Densely packed; standing on the high platform, he could see no end to them.

But... so many people were forcibly smashed to death by Li Yuanba!

"This person is truly terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

Ying Zheng's heart was in a state of extreme panic!

But very quickly, he realized a problem!

"Li Yuanba, has he returned?"

He asked in panic, and at the same time, quickly checked the date on the battle report!
