When the news reached the State of Zhao, all the civil and military officials of Zhao felt that this matter was simply too absurd!
When the detailed battle report arrived, the entire Zhao state was in a daze.
In Wuwei City, ten thousand Xiongnu vanguard cavalry were annihilated, and Xiongnu vanguard officer Helian Tiege was killed in battle!
They decisively defeated Yelü Junba's 100,000 iron cavalry in front of Fuling City, forcing Yelü Junba to take a detour.
Subsequently, the Xiongnu 10,000 garrison cavalry were wiped out at Xianmatan, blocking the Xiongnu forces in Liangzhou.
Having just read this far, Emperor Zhao already felt his mind go blank.
However, what happened next made Emperor Zhao tremble all over.
He marched a thousand miles across the grasslands and captured the Xiongnu Khan, Jieli. After eight days of frantic running, he led his army back to reinforce the capital and wiped out another 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry.
He killed Yelü Junba, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, and broke the backbone of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop!

Since Dali annexed Chu, it has established itself as the hegemon of the north in just twenty years!
If it weren't for the Xiongnu and Western Qiang constantly draining Dali's national strength over the years, Dali would have already begun its plan to conquer the world from the south.
Now, the Xiongnu have been decimated in one battle, making them a force to be reckoned with throughout the world.
This also means that from now on, Dali will no longer need to worry about threats from the grasslands.
In this way, it becomes obvious what the next step of the Great Li Dynasty's plan is!
The difference in national strength between Li and Zhao was significant.
That is why Emperor Zhao sent his seventh princess, Song Min, under the guise of diplomatic mission to inquire about news from Li Kingdom.
But it seems to have backfired.
