My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1135: The territory of our Great Qin since ancient times is so large! It is not to expand the territory, but to suppress the rebellion!

Meng Yi's voice fell like a meteorite in the imperial study, silencing the room!

After three breaths, Wei Liao finally asked with a difficult voice: "How much did Chang'an Jun's troops lose in the battle?"

Wei replied with his vocal cords taut: "33,872 killed, 23,009 seriously injured."

"However, Lord Chang'an has captured another 330,137 enemy troops!"

Wei Liao's voice trembled: "In other words, Lord Chang'an led 1.3 million troops to the battle."

"In one battle, I defeated six kings, defeated the coalition forces of seven nations, and killed more than 300,000 people in battle!"

"But now he has more than 1.5 million soldiers?!!"

Including deaths in battle and serious injuries, a total of 56,881 people in Ying Chengjiao's army lost their combat effectiveness.

For a war involving more than two million troops on both sides, it was terrifying to win a great victory with such low casualties.

As a result, Ying Chengjiao subdued more than 330,000 soldiers and horses!

It means to conquer them, to directly incorporate them into Ying Chengjiao's army and turn them into fighting force, rather than to capture them as captives who would be a waste of food and grass!

After a great war, sweeping across seven kingdoms and subduing six kings, Ying Chengjiao had more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command than when he went on the expedition, and he also had many generals such as Li Mu!
The so-called words that people all came to serve Ying Zheng because of his kindness may fool outsiders, but how can they fool the officials of the Qin Dynasty?

Compared with the former Qin kings, Ying Zheng can indeed be considered benevolent.

But if you look at the whole world, Ying Zheng himself would be embarrassed to say that he is a benevolent monarch!
The Qin Dynasty's legal system and its foundation also meant that it would not be a benevolent country.

Therefore, all the officials of the Qin Dynasty knew very well that these more than 330,000 enemy troops were all subdued by Ying Chengjiao’s kindness and power!

Is this reasonable? !
Han Cang said calmly, "As expected, you are Lord Chang'an!"

“Whenever the Lord of Chang’an went to war, he would not only win a great victory, but also be welcomed by the people in the enemy’s territory with food and drink, so that the number of soldiers returning victorious was greater than the number of soldiers who went out to fight.”

"Now that Chang'an Jun has lost his divine glory, it is reasonable that he can gain the services of more than 330,000 enemy troops."

Han Cang's voice was calm, but Han Cang's mentality was about to collapse!

Three hundred and thirty thousand young and strong soldiers were willing to serve the Qin Dynasty. This was undoubtedly a great joy for Ying Chengjiao, a great joy for Ying Zheng, and even more so for the long-term development of the Qin Dynasty.

But these 330,000 soldiers all need to eat!
Their surrender meant that the Qin Dynasty would have to spend a lot more food to feed 330,000 mouths, especially those far away in the northeast.

The Qin Dynasty's food reserves were not abundant to begin with, and these 330,000 soldiers were really adding insult to injury!
Everyone in the Grain Management Office, from Han Cang to the big rat in the warehouse, all have to cry!
Unfortunately, other court officials could not understand Han Cang's sadness. They were either confused, shocked, or ecstatic. They could no longer endure and shouted out loud: "Can the war be fought like this? How should this military achievement be calculated?"

"It's already this time, why bother about military achievements? More than 330,000 soldiers surrendered on behalf of Wu'an Jun, Yan Xiang, Zhao Wang, and Gao Yi Wang. This shows that our Great Qin has the support of the people and is destined by heaven! I congratulate the king!"

"Lord Chang'an, you will win! You will win! I wish I could fight the six kings with Lord Chang'an!"

"In the world today, there are only two countries left, Qin and Yan! I thought I would never see the unification of the world by my Great Qin in my lifetime, but I never thought! Now my Great Qin is very close to unifying the world! The ruler and ministers of my Great Qin will accomplish an unprecedented feat!!!"

For a moment, the noisy sound in the imperial study seemed to be about to blow off the roof!

But Lu Buwei did not join in the revelry of his ministers. Instead, his bad premonition became stronger.

Such a great victory should have been reported back by Dan Fu, the most elite messenger under Ying Chengjiao.

But the one who sent back the good news was Kuafu under Danfu.

This is unreasonable!
When Ying Zheng heard his ministers praising Ying Chengjiao, he did not smile. Instead, he just looked at Ying Chengjiao's private message with a thoughtful look.

This is even more unreasonable!

When Lü Buwei saw Meng Yi taking the second bamboo slip from Ying Zheng, he could not help but ask in surprise: "General Meng!" "There's more?!"

Meng Yi looked up at Lu Buwei, nodded in understanding, and said with a complicated expression: "There's more!"

Lü Buwei had a bad feeling in his heart and shouted, "Silence!"

"Continue to listen to Chang'an Jun's military report!"

The Qin officials who were celebrating quickly shut up and looked at Meng Yi with smiles on their faces.

In their view, the State of Yan had not yet been destroyed, so the war was naturally not over yet.

Therefore, the next thing Ying Chengjiao would report must be the deployment of attacking Yan.

Now the main force of the coalition has been completely wiped out, Dai and Zhao are both destroyed, and only the Yan State is left. How much trouble can it cause?

It’s a trivial matter!
Meng Yi unfolded the bamboo slips and recited hesitantly:

"The King of Gaoyi said: When the ancestor of Qin, Fei Lian, heard that Shang was destroyed, he fled to Shangyan (east of today's Qufu) and wanted to lead the people of Dongyi to restore Shang. However, he was defeated and was exiled to the northwest along with the people of Dongyi by the Emperor of Zhou."

Ying Le and other members of the Ying clan were a little confused.

After the demise of the Shang Dynasty, did our ancestors go to the State of Yan and organize a national restoration movement?
How come we don't know?
Meng Yi continued, "Although the people of Dongyi and Daqin are located in the west and east of the world, they have been the same people since ancient times. I have respected the King of Qin for a long time, and all the people of Dongyi are loyal to Daqin!"

"But there are rebels among the Dongyi who have gathered their troops and are bullying the common people and rebelling against the king. They may cause chaos when the Dongyi return to Qin. I ask the king to order the Lord of Chang'an to send troops to suppress the rebellion!"

The Dongyi have been the territory of our Great Qin since ancient times, and the people of the Dongyi have been the subjects of our Great Qin since ancient times?
Ying Le and other members of the Ying clan looked at each other, seeming to be thinking about something.

Should he acknowledge this poor relative and rule the Dongyi with kindness, or should he deny the relationship with the Dongyi and rule the Dongyi with force?

Whether our ancestors had ever been to the State of Yan is still a matter of debate!

Meng Yi's voice was full of doubt. "The head of the household Hulun said: The Hulun tribe has respected the Great Zhou since ancient times. The tribe even has wine vessels given by the Zhou emperor. The Hulun tribe has been the people of the Great Zhou since ancient times. However, due to the great power of the Hu bandits, they had to submit to the bandits and worship the false god Changshengtian. The people have suffered from the pain of being suspended. Please ask the king to order the Lord of Chang'an to send troops to relieve the suffering of our people!"

All the court officials lowered their eyes, with the corners of their mouths twitching slightly.

Chang'an Jun, that's enough, that's enough.

Our Great Qin’s territory has never been that large since ancient times!
Meng Yi also coughed lightly with a hint of embarrassment before continuing to recite: "I advise you!"

"Although the lands of Dongyi and Donghu are bitter and cold, they are quite rich. They are precious lands bestowed upon our Great Qin by the Emperor of Heaven."

"The people of Donghu have admired China since ancient times, and many of their tribes were personally appointed as princes by the Zhou emperor."

"The people of Dongyi are even more proud because they followed their ancestors to fight, and all the people want to return to the Qin Dynasty."

"How can we, the Great Qin, sit back and watch the thieves occupy our country for a long time and humiliate the people of the Great Zhou? How can we ignore the will of the people and treat their voices as nothing?!"

"Therefore, I order my deputy general Ben to lead the troops eastward to seize the territory of Yan, and then suppress the rebellion of the Dongyi."

"Because of his meritorious service in defeating the fake king of Dai, Li Mu was promoted to acting general and led a small army from Jicheng to the north."

"I will personally lead the main force of our army to the Donghu to relieve the people's distress!"

"I am concerned that many of our soldiers may not be able to endure the bitter cold of the Donghu, so I order the 210,000 soldiers recruited from south of the Yangtze River to stay in Yuyang County and obey the king's orders."

"On the 15th day of the fourth month in the 17th year of the reign of Qin, Prince Chengjiao of the Chang'an Lord of Qin came to pay homage to His Majesty from afar in Zhuocheng!"
