One by one, the ministers began to make their reports in Court.
Listening to these reports,
Ying Zheng deliberated on each one, deciding how to deal with them.
When he heard that the King of Qi wanted to proclaim himself as an emperor alongside him,
and even boasted of being an emperor himself,
Ying Zheng couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
"The King of Qi is quite fanciful, isn’t he?"
"Even at this point, does he still think I won’t destroy his Qi?" Ying Zheng spoke slowly, with a trace of sarcasm.
Now, only Qi remains on the Land of the Divine Continent, and Qin’s ambitions are no longer hidden at all.
For Qi no longer has any external assistance.
Seeking aid?
Seek Tu An? Seek Goguryeo?
Or perhaps, does he still wish to appeal to the Xiongnu and Donghu?
Dare he?
The outcome of King Xi of Yan is still vividly remembered.
Betraying the tribe, becoming a traitor, not only infamous for all time but also directly beheaded by Zhao Feng.
As long as the King of Qi wishes to live, doesn’t want to follow the old path of the King of Yan, he definitely wouldn’t dare to collude with foreign tribes.
"Great King."
"The actions of the King of Qi clearly show he is probing our Qin."
"To see if we, Qin, have the intention to attack Qi." Han Fei said with a smile.
"Don’t let him have any false hopes."
"Issue a decree."
"Command the envoy stationed in Qi to return to Qin."
"And spread the message that Qin will mobilize an army to attack Qi after the spring snow melts." Ying Zheng sneered, issuing the decree immediately.
At this very moment.
Qin’s national power has reached unprecedented heights.
Even if Qi has hundreds of thousands of troops, it’s predestined that they cannot contend with Qin’s million iron cavalry.
"This battle."
"Is about coercion."
"Forcing Qi to surrender without a fight."
"Qi is the land of the most learned academies on our Shenzhou, Jixia Academy being the place where both Chancellor Han and I gained enlightenment, and not only Jixia Academy, but Qi also has numerous academies, if they submit to Qin, will surely bring us considerable assistance in the future."
"Forcing the King of Qi to surrender, this is the Upper Strategy." Li Si spoke.
"At present, Qi is already a frightened bird."
"But to make Qi truly submit and surrender, besides giving the King of Qi enough assurances to let him live in abundance, preserving the ancestral temple, this is not enough, there must be someone with enough prestige to personally go to Qi to intimidate."
"Let the King of Qi know it’s impossible to resist our Qin, only then can the strategy of coercion achieve success." Yu Liao spoke at this moment.
At the moment of speaking these words.
His gaze fell upon Zhao Feng, who was dozing on the cushioned seat.
Following Yu Liao’s gaze, the ministers’ eyes on the court all landed on Zhao Feng.
Suddenly quiet.
Zhao Feng, who was dozing with eyes closed, also sensed something.
He opened his eyes.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Zhao Feng chuckled, then looked towards Ying Zheng, clasping his hands, "Just need the great king’s order, I can set off for Qi at any time."
"Hahaha."
"Yu Qing speaks the truth."
"If we are to talk about who holds the highest prestige, who can exercise supreme dominance over the world, it’s none other than Lord Wu’an of our Qin." Ying Zheng burst into laughter.
"The great king’s wisdom is unmatched." Yu Liao said loudly.
"After the spring, get ready to set off, Lord Wu’an," Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"I accept the decree." Zhao Feng gladly accepted the order.
Departing for Qi.
This is indeed a worthwhile venture.
