Chapter 289 Fatty Zhao's Merit
in the crowd.
General Zhao remained silent from beginning to end and was extremely patient.
When the noisy sounds gradually faded away, he took a step forward and asked with some curiosity.
"Your Majesty, what kind of achievements did the eldest prince make this time that made you so excited?"
"Okay, since you want to see it, I'll have someone read it out loud!"
Song Youji was in a good mood. He gestured to General Zhao and handed the battle report directly to him. "Aren't you curious? Then read it to everyone!"
General Zhao just glanced at the battle report, and his whole body became energetic, and his voice suddenly rose several tones.
"Your Majesty, your servant Wei Xian respectfully reports: On the fifteenth of this month, Prince Jingbei led his men to defeat another powerful enemy..."
General Zhao became more and more excited as he spoke, and the hearts of the people in the audience gradually began to boil as General Zhao read his speech.
But in the crowd.
The Third Prince Song Qi and the powerful Prime Minister Lin Fu, who had been looking smug before, became gloomy when they heard that Song Yuan had accomplished such an extraordinary feat.
Why is it this kid again?
Why is he always involved in every robbery?
Weren’t those barbarians powerful before?
Why did he lose to Song Yuan every time today?
Are they all stupid?
Thousands of people died just a few days ago, and this time it was another great victory.
If they hadn't known that Song Yuan and the barbarians were at odds, they would have probably thought Song Yuanzhi was colluding with the barbarians! Time to gain experience!
When General Zhao's voice died down, everyone at the scene became excited.
Thinking of the contents of the battle report, everyone could no longer control themselves. They danced with joy, as if they were the ones who had made such great contributions.
"Amazing! The Crown Prince was truly amazing this time. With only a few casualties, he was able to completely annihilate tens of thousands of enemies. This is an incredible feat, probably unique in the entire Qin Dynasty!"
"Indeed, in terms of the number of enemies killed, this time may not be the first, but in terms of casualty ratio, even the founding of the Qin Dynasty cannot compare to today!"
"Why do I always feel that this thing is so fantastical? Is it true or not? Can such a thing really happen in real life?"
"Isn't that nonsense? How can you think that this information, which came from the hands of the self-defense general, could be false?"
"Indeed, General Wei must have already gone to Mohai City before sending out the battle report to confirm Your Highness's achievements. If he hadn't taken it so seriously, how could he have committed deceit and treason?"
"But how could the eldest prince possibly have such talent? I think this might have been done by the eldest prince's subordinates, right?"
"No matter who it is, the Crown Prince has made the greatest contribution this time. Although his subordinates have also made contributions, they are ultimately inseparable from the Crown Prince's leadership!"
For a moment, the originally solemn and dignified Golden Throne Hall became like a vegetable market.
It was indeed a feat that Song Yuan had accomplished that was somewhat unbelievable to others.
But no one expected that as the sound gradually faded away, General Zhao suddenly coughed lightly.
"Have you finished your discussion? If you're done, shut up and let me continue reading!"
what's the situation?
Is there anything else that can be done after this?
Hearing General Zhao say this, everyone's eyes widened, feeling a little bit unbelievable.
While everyone was surprised, General Zhao continued, "There is a remarkable man under the King of Jingbei, General Zhao's grandson. Your Highness followed his advice and successfully exchanged the bodies of the barbarians for war horses with High Priest Bulma..."
When they heard the final number, everyone's mouths opened slightly, their faces full of surprise.
When can corpses be exchanged for war horses?
Can this kind of thing really happen in reality?
Why didn’t I think of it before?
This time, General Zhao’s grandson has come to the limelight!
After hearing the description that the high priest Bulma vomited blood twice during the fight against the barbarians, everyone felt proud for a moment.
Good, really good!
Not only did the barbarians suffer heavy casualties, but they also had to spend resources on those corpses.
Even the high priest was seriously injured by this incident and is probably bedridden now.
For a while.
The ministers who were originally in a depressed mood suddenly felt cheerful. They looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter in the hall.
When the laughter stopped, everyone looked up at Song Youji, who was smiling.
At this moment everyone finally understood.
No wonder Song Youji was so excited after reading the battle report.
Even an emperor would be proud to have a son like this.
This time.
It's not just about killing tens of thousands of enemies, what's more important is to enhance our country's prestige!
Song Yuan's successive actions have now successfully awakened the morale of many soldiers.
This is definitely a good thing for the war to annihilate the country in the early spring of next year!
As the ruler of a country, Song Youji was naturally very satisfied.
No wonder he behaved so abnormally before!
Looking at the history of the Qin Dynasty's confrontation with the barbarians, it has always lost more than it won, not to mention that it was able to seize thousands of war horses without bloodshed.
This even made the high priest so angry that he vomited blood.
Such a feat is absolutely groundbreaking.
When the person who suggested this brilliant idea came up with it, everyone looked at General Zhao and congratulated him.
"General Zhao, I have to say, you've truly given birth to a wonderful grandson. This time, I'm finally proud of you!"
"I remember that when your grandson wanted to go to the border, you tried to stop him. Now the facts have proven that this kid is a genius. Sure enough, he immediately shined when he arrived at the border!"
"Old Zhao, you called your grandson a loser just now. Just look at what your grandson has done now. Even you might not be able to match him!"
"I think General Zhao was just hiding his abilities. Didn't he team up with his grandson to put on a show for everyone? Now he's showing off, which has really surprised everyone. General Zhao, you have to set up a nice table this time to celebrate!"
"Hahaha, excuse me for laughing at you all. My grandson has no special skills and can only do business. But let me just say one thing: this kid never loses money in business, and now is the best proof!"
Faced with everyone's compliments, General Zhao's mouth almost stretched to his ears.
For a moment, I felt like I was floating in the air.
I was even more surprised.
My grandson actually has such ability, why didn’t I realize it before?
Could it be that this frontier is really a place for talent development?
The eldest prince went there and made many achievements.
Even his own grandson was proud of himself and became famous.
No, I must try it myself when I get back.
Send all the unpromising sons and daughters of the family to the frontier and see if a miracle can be created!
