"Gongsun Guang."
"The frontier army is primarily composed of cavalry."
"Your seventy thousand frontier troops should be cavalry-based. Where are your warhorses?" Zhao Feng asked Gongsun Guang.
"Reporting to the General."
"The warhorses are all stationed at the city’s horse farm."
"This ti, we have co on a forced march as ordered, and all seventy thousand frontier troops have warhorses." Gongsun Guang promptly replied.
"Would you be willing to follow into the Northern Frontier of Yan to face the foreign tribes?" Zhao Feng asked solemnly.
Gongsun Guang did not hesitate, kneeling on one knee: "I am willing to follow."
Zhao Feng imdiately walked up to Gongsun Guang and helped him up: "Good."
"Today."
"I will lead one hundred thousand Qin cavalry along with your seventy thousand frontier troops into the Northern Frontier of Yan."
"To annihilate all invading foreign tribes."
Zhao Feng’s face revealed a cold and fierce expression.
Upon hearing that Zhao Feng would imdiately mobilize the troops, Gongsun Guang and the many frontier soldiers were also filled with joy.
The foreign tribes have already moved south, and although the situation in the Northern Frontier is unclear, the tribes are ruthless. Wherever they go, it must have beco purgatory.
Arriving a mont sooner can save more people.
For these surrendered Yan frontier soldiers, arriving a mont earlier gives them a chance to save their own relatives.
Not long after.
North of Ji City.
More than a hundred thousand cavalry galloped towards the Northern Frontier of Yan.
On the city tower.
Watching the departing army.
Kuai Pu’s face showed a hint of helplessness.
"General Tu Sui."
"Should the battle report this ti really be submitted as the General says?"
"The General has killed the King of Yan, which is no trivial matter." Kuai Pu said helplessly.
Tu Sui’s expression remained unchanged: "Of course, it will be done as the General says."
"Moreover."
"Great King Wang Xiong has remarkable talents, he surely understands the calamity of the tribes. This ti, the General slayed the King of Yan for the righteousness of the clan, to shock the world and further terrify the Yan army."
"This is great strategy."
Kuai Pu’s expression was still complicated: "Yet, I feel the General was a bit impulsive. After all, he is a king."
"Even if his nation is vanquished, he remains a king, and only the Great King has the authority to deal with kings."
"This ti."
"The opponents of the General in court will surely not miss this chance to impeach."
Clearly.
Kuai Pu was worried about this matter.
"What about impeachnt?"
"My Wu’an Camp is fighting bloody battles in Yan."
"How can we allow others to gossip?"
"The Great King will surely discern wisely." Tu Sui was not worried at all.
Knowing his lord’s formidable strength.
Today’s act of slaying the King of Yan was a great boost for troop morale.
In his view.
The lord made the right move.
"Report to General Tu."
"Just now, the soldiers captured Ji Dan from the Crown Prince’s Mansion of Yan." A trusted aide hurriedly reported.
"Captured him, good."
"This Ji Dan is the instigator of the assassination of the Great King."
"Imdiately dispatch soone to send Ji Dan to Xianyang, handed over to the Great King for disposal." Tu Sui ordered without hesitation.
"Understood."
The trusted aide imdiately responded.
"Besides."
"The towns around Yan Kingdom still need the army to attack."
"The matter of reporting shall be entrusted to Mr. Kuai."
"Once Ji City is stabilized, I will instruct the army to continue their assault."
"Strive to quickly capture all the cities of Yan Kingdom." Tu Sui said.
"I understand." Kuai Pu nodded.

Qin!
Morning Discussion Hall!
Everything went as expected.
When news of the fall of Ji City and the slaying of the King of Yan by Zhao Feng reached Xianyang.
Court matters changed dramatically.
"Report to the Great King."
"The garrison at Ji City surrendered, and the King of Yan was captured, which should be a huge victory."
"But Zhao Feng had the audacity to kill a king."
"This is an unforgivable cri."
"Please, Great King, punish severely."
Wang Wan stood out, his old face bearing the look of a loyal minister, loudly accusing.
After him.
Huai Zhuang imdiately added: "Though the King of Yan was captured, he remains a king, whose disposal can only be decided by the Great King; Zhao Feng’s actions display arrogance and contempt for royal authority."
"This is a great cri."
"Please, Great King, punish severely."
"I second this."
"To kill a king without order, how could we be lenient?"
"Please, Great King, punish severely."
...
Officials of Wang Wan’s faction stepped forward to impeach.
At this mont.
Wang Wan’s heart secretly celebrated.
"Zhao Feng, oh Zhao Feng."
"Ultimately, you’re too young, too arrogant."
"Killing a king!"
"How dare you be so bold."
"Throughout history, kings are not easily slain, even enemy kings."
"This ti, we’ve finally found a chance to make you stumble." Wang Wan coldly laughed inwardly.
But Wang Wan did not see above in the high position.
Ying Zheng’s face was indifferent, his gaze fixed, rembering all those who impeached.
But at this juncture!
Han Fei stood out, loudly proclaiming: "I believe General Zhao Feng did well in killing the King."
With these words.
Wang Wan’s expression changed.
He imdiately asked: "Why does Minister Han say this?"
"Killing a king!"
"Such an act cannot simply be glossed over with ’well done,’ even if the King of Yan is a captive, he must be handed over to the Great King for judgnt."
"Zhao Feng’s actions are an overreach of authority." Wang Wan coldly eyed Han Fei.
Li Si stood forward: "Minister Han Fei is correct, General Zhao Feng indeed did well to kill."
"The King of Yan colluded with foreign tribes, he is a traitor to our Huaxia clan, a clan traitor, and everyone in Huaxia has the right to execute him."
"Slaying the King of Yan boosts troop morale and intimidates the surrendering Yan army."
"Moreover, it provides an explanation to the world; the King of Yan’s actions are severely wrong, colluding with foreign tribes, he should be executed."
Huai Zhuang imdiately stood out to rebut: "No matter how eloquently the two ministers speak, Zhao Feng was overreaching; he killed the King of Yan, that’s overreaching, disrespecting the Great King’s authority."
"Indeed."
"The crux is overreaching."
