Just as Cao Cao guessed.
Pan Feng won a great victory.
The morale of the enemy's 80,000 vanguards plummeted after the death of their leading general.
Pan Feng ordered 30,000 soldiers to pursue the enemy and finally achieved a great victory.
This battle was the first victory won by the Qin army since the invasion of the Chu army.
It is of great significance.
This is equivalent to telling all the Qin army soldiers, and even everyone in the country...
The Chu army is not invincible!
......
Three scouts set out from Zhicheng in three groups and headed towards Xianyang.
All along the way, there were loud shouts, "Our army has won a great victory! The unparalleled General Pan Feng has killed the Chu army's vanguard general in battle, and the enemy army has been defeated and fled!"
This was done intentionally by Cao Cao.
He just wanted to let everyone know that Zhicheng had won a victory.
Let those who dare to talk about the country's destruction shut up.
Great Qin is not incapable of defeating the Chu army!
In this battle, Cao Cao wanted to let all the people of the Qin Dynasty, including the high-ranking officials in the temple, see hope.
......
The next day at noon.
Xianyang City.
Three groups of scouts arrived here.
They were heading to the palace to inform His Majesty the Emperor of the news of victory on the front line.
at the same time.
The entire Xianyang City was in an uproar, and everyone started talking about it:
"We won? We really defeated the Chu army? This is incredible!"
"Yes, ever since the Chu invaded our Qin State, we have been defeated time and time again. I didn't expect that we would actually win this time!"
"It seems that this Chu army is not impossible to defeat!"
"I originally thought that Your Majesty was courting death by letting an unknown soldier lead the troops into a decisive battle with the enemy. But I never expected that this unknown soldier would actually defeat the Chu army!"
"I thought Your Majesty was incompetent again! He actually sent a cavalry captain and the imperial guards to fight the Chu army! Now it seems that Your Majesty is a wise judge of people and has a clear plan in mind!"
"Cao Cao and Pan Feng are truly heroes of the Great Qin! It's said that a few days ago, His Majesty and the Empress attended a court meeting together to tell us that they haven't fled Xianyang and have always been with us!"
"I used to think that His Majesty was merely incompetent, but now it seems that I was shortsighted. His Majesty is His Majesty, and he is not someone that mortals like us can discuss."
"Recently, a rumor has been circulating that Your Majesty was feigning incompetence because treacherous officials were in power in the court! Now that the national crisis has struck, Your Majesty is taking this opportunity to bring down the treacherous officials!"
"Then isn't Cai Jing a traitor? Why did Your Majesty confer the title of Marquis on him?"
"Don't you know what flattery means?"
"Hiss... If you put it that way, Your Majesty is truly wise!"
“…”
Before the news of this great victory came, the people of the entire city fell into despair.
Many celebrities and dignitaries fled early.
However, now, a big victory has given countless people hope.
As a result, they re-examined the Majesty who lived deep in the palace.
At first, when they heard Ying Yuan say "The Emperor guards the national gate", they thought he was just talking.
When the enemy attacks, as an emperor, he will definitely run away at the first moment.
However, the emperor did not run away!
Instead, he stayed in Xianyang with the queen!
He appointed a small cavalry captain as the Minister of War.
It's simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
However, it was the newly appointed Minister of War who led the army to a great victory.
It made everyone feel that the Chu army was not invincible.
They have weaknesses too!
When Ying Yuan appointed Cai Jing as a marquis, the people felt that the emperor had become incompetent again.
Everyone in the world knows that he is a traitor!
To confer the title of Marquis on such a person?
However, when they saw convoys carrying food, military pay, etc. leaving the city one after another.
Only then did they realize that politics was not as simple as they had thought.
Your Majesty hopes that while stabilizing the situation in the court, the soldiers who are fighting outside will not feel discouraged.
It’s not easy for Your Majesty either!
Before this, in their minds, Ying Yuan had always been a tyrant.
Even today, many people still hold this view.
However, after what happened in the past few days, their stubborn belief began to waver.
Your Majesty, perhaps you are a wise ruler?
Or perhaps, even a foolish ruler knows that when facing a powerful enemy, he must fight back?
But no matter which possibility it was, the people witnessed a fact with their own eyes.
Their Majesty...
It doesn’t seem that bad!
Freedom of speech has always been practiced in the Qin Dynasty. Even the common people at the bottom of society can openly discuss the affairs of the court, including the emperor and the prime minister.
This is also the rule set by Taizu.
Because justice is in the hearts of the people.
......
now.
Xianyang Palace.
Go to the palace.
All civil and military officials and Ying Yuan were present.
Suddenly.
Several voices were heard outside the hall:
"Emergency military information has been received from Zhicheng!"
"Emergency military information from Zhicheng!"
“…”
The three scouts passed through layers of messages and gradually approached the court hall.
When he heard those voices, Ying Yuan's expression suddenly became a little excited.
Urgent military information?
Could it be that Zhicheng was captured?
Cao Cao was defeated?
The enemy is about to attack Xianyang?
