Ying Zheng also knew the news of Fusu's victory, but he was busier on his side. The Qin army surrounded the Xiongnu coalition and beat them hard.
Only more than 100,000 people were left in the Xiongnu coalition army, struggling to hold on, and no one knew where they got the confidence from.
In addition to the coalition forces on the side of the Xiongnu royal court, some Xiongnu tribes and other small countries directly surrendered to the Qin Dynasty.
The area here is so vast that it is even larger than the entire Central Plains.
If it weren't for the detailed map that Zhao Qingrui brought out, he definitely wouldn't have dared to lead his men deep into the enemy territory to kill these Huns.
"Aren't they going to surrender yet? If they don't surrender, tell them that I will throw gunpowder bags directly at the Xiongnu royal court." Ying Zheng wiped the sword in his hand.
This sword was specially made for Gongshujia by his people. It was made of steel and was very sharp. It could cut hair with a single blow. He was very satisfied with this sword.
This sword did not disappoint his expectations, and many barbarians died under it.
"Yes." Meng Tian said respectfully.
Maodun Chanyu of the Xiongnu was indeed a talent. He was able to hold on for so long under the powerful firepower of the Qin Dynasty. He even admired this man a little.
Following the First Emperor's order, the logistics staff quickly prepared.
Before the war started, a large number of war weapons such as gunpowder bags were delivered.
Just by relying on firepower suppression, the Qin Dynasty will definitely be able to wipe out these tribes in the shortest time possible.
However, the governance of the grassland is also a problem, and Daqin still needs a lot of construction sites and prisoners of war.
Maodun Chanyu also knew the content of the Qin army's call. At this time, Maodun Chanyu's face was very ugly, and he was a little regretful now.
If I had known that the Qin Dynasty was so difficult and powerful, I should have waited until it was more powerful.
And now, he is at a dead end.
But he didn't want to die yet, because if he died, he would have nothing.
"Chanyu, if we don't fight our way out now, we will never have another chance. As long as we are still here, we will have a chance to make a comeback in the future." The guards around Chanyu Maodun said respectfully.
Maodun Chanyu remained silent. He knew what the guards meant, but he had been working in the Xiongnu for so many years, and he was unwilling to give up his hard work.
But, we have waited until now, if we don’t leave now, we will be really doomed.
The Qin Dynasty did not kill them all, which clearly meant that they did not want to be prisoners.
At night, Maodun Chanyu took advantage of the darkness and led a group of people to set fire to the vast grassland, forcing the Qin army to put out the fire and take advantage of the open space to kill them.
When Ying Zheng heard this, his face turned very ugly, and he chopped the table in half with the sword in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties and deserve death. Please punish me." Wang Li's voice trembled as he knelt respectfully in front of Ying Zheng.
"How many people ran away?" Ying Zheng asked coldly.
The war was just about to end, but he didn't expect something unexpected to happen at this moment. He felt very unhappy.
"More than a hundred people ran away. They were all the personal guards around Maodun Chanyu. Maodun Chanyu's son was left behind by him." Wang Li said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, they only have more than a hundred people and can't amount to much. Now that we have captured more than 100,000 Hun prisoners, it's time to clean up the battlefield." Meng Tian said hurriedly.
"Let's clean up the battlefield first. Pass the order down. Whoever cuts off the head of the Xiongnu King Maodun will be awarded the title of fifth-rank official." Ying Zheng said coldly.
"promise."
The order to clean up the battlefield was passed down, and the entire Qin army began to get busy.
The tribes on the grassland were gathered together, and everyone had a look of confusion and fear on their faces, not knowing what kind of life they would face in the future.
Prisoners, no matter how you think about it, you know that these days will not be good.
Ying Zheng also distributed the army to various places to take over the affairs of these tribes, and everyone was busy as hell.
"Qingrui is very concerned about the species in the Western Regions. Meng Qing, please collect more and send them to me. I will take them back to Qingrui later. She will definitely like them." Ying Zheng was looking through the records of materials sent from the Xiongnu royal court, while instructing Meng Tian about going to the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely collect some species from the Western Regions." Meng Tian said seriously.
"Well, get busy." Ying Zheng nodded. Looking at the material records in his hand, he was in a good mood.
The Xiongnu royal court was quite wealthy, and this time they captured the leaders of all the tribes here. In addition to various gems, they also got a lot of war horses.
This warhorse is the biggest gain.
"Not a bad harvest." Ying Zheng muttered.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! These barbarians will no longer be the enemy of the Qin Dynasty. Congratulations on expanding Your Majesty's territory." Zhao Gao said with a smile.
"Well, the Qin Dynasty is still too small and not strong enough." His Majesty the First Emperor said reservedly.
He was still very happy in his heart, but that was not enough. Compared to the poor conditions in the Xiongnu area, he was more interested in the vast land overseas.
As the news of the great victory in the expedition against the Huns reached back to Xianyang, Zhao Qingrui directly had people write about it in newspapers, constantly publicizing his father's achievements.
"Father should be back soon. He's been gone for more than half a year, and I still miss him terribly." Yin Man came to the East Palace with her son in her arms, and the two sisters chatted leisurely.
The weather outside was getting hotter, but there was an ice jar inside the East Palace, so it wasn't hot at all.
The little guy was sleeping soundly. Zhao Qingrui liked this little nephew very much. The little guy liked to laugh and rarely cried. His eyes were like black grapes, big and bright. Every time he looked at her, she felt her heart soften.
