Chapter 478, Qin Army Attacks Nanyang, Time to Surrender to Qin Has Arrived (Bonus Chapter! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
"General, the allotted time has passed. Shall we issue the order to rest?"

Seeing Meng Tian's anxiety, his deputy spoke up.

"Wait a little longer. The Grand Chancellor mentioned earlier that we should attack Nanyang in the next two days," Meng Tian said in a deep voice.

Just as the lieutenant was about to say something more, a soldier, after being checked by the guards at the door, quickly walked into the main tent.

"General, this is an order from the Grand General," a soldier said, handing a bamboo tube to Meng Tian.

A glint of light flashed in Meng Tian's eyes. He quickly stepped forward, snatched the bamboo slip from the armored soldier's hand, and swiftly opened it to read.

Upon seeing the contents, Meng Tian's breathing became rapid, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. He had finally received this order.

"Issue my order: the army is to prepare for battle, march into Nanyang under cover of night, and seize Zhuren City!"

After calming himself down, Meng Tian waved his hand and gave the order.

The lieutenant's face also showed excitement, his eyes full of desire for military merit. Other countries' armies were afraid of fighting, but the Qin army couldn't wait to fight every day. Only in this way could they exchange enemy heads for more military merit.

"promise."

The lieutenant bowed and said.

With Meng Tian's military order issued, the Qin army, which was already fully prepared, quickly left the camp, lined up in neat rows, and headed towards the camp where the Han army's border troops were stationed.

The Qin army's scouts set off first, eliminating all the scouts and sentries of the Han border army along the way, allowing the Pingyang heavy armored army to silently sneak to the outside of the Han border army's camp.

A command arrow shot into the sky, and the explosion was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Upon receiving the order to attack, the Qin army immediately headed towards the Han army's camp. The Han army, who were fast asleep, had no idea that the Qin army would suddenly attack under the cover of night, and were caught completely off guard.

Inside the South Korean border army camp.

The Han general looked at the camp filled with shouts of battle, his face filled with fear. He had never expected the Qin army to launch a sudden attack.

An officer covered in blood, carrying a sword, with disheveled hair and clutching his wound, approached the South Korean commander and said in a panic...
"General, the Qin army is attacking! The vanguard has been captured. What do we do next?"

"Immediately send someone back to Xinzheng to report the Qin army's attack. Have the central army hold off the Qin army, and the rest of you retreat with me!"

Despite being terrified, the commander of the Han army still possessed the basic abilities required to become a border general. Looking at the camp engulfed in flames, the Han general immediately gave the order.

"promise."

The officers and messengers around them had no doubts; they simply did not have the ability or the courage to fight the Qin army.

Moreover, they were completely unprepared for the Qin army's sudden attack. If they stayed to fight to the death with the Qin army, they would only be wiped out in the end. It would be better to make a strategic retreat and preserve their strength.

With the Han army's border troops withdrawing voluntarily, the Qin army easily breached the Han border. Meng Tian did not stop there, leading the Pingyang heavy armored army in a night raid on Zhuren City.

Meanwhile, the fleeing border scouts, carrying news of the Qin army's attack, rushed towards Xinzheng without stopping.

As night gradually faded, the rising sun illuminated the entire city of Xinzheng.

As the morning bell rang in the Han King's palace, the ministers who had been waiting outside the hall entered the court one by one. Ji Wuye, Han Fei, Bai Yifei, and Zhang Kaidi stood at the head of the ministers and led them in bowing to King Han An.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects." "Your son pays his respects to his father."

On his throne, King Han An, his face weary and his eyes vacant, casually raised his hand and said, "Gentlemen, you may dispense with formalities. If you have something to report, please do so. If not, the court may adjourn."

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't attended court for a month and the drought in Nanyang hadn't been resolved, King Han An certainly wouldn't have convened the morning court session. After all, what's more comfortable than being in the inner palace?
As soon as King Han An finished speaking, Ji Wuye immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the drought in Nanyang is getting worse. Since the Ninth Prince Han Fei received the imperial decree to provide disaster relief, he has not seen any results. The grain he bought from Wei was burned to ashes by villains before it could be distributed to the disaster victims."

"I believe that Prince Han Fei has exaggerated his abilities and has no capacity for disaster relief. Furthermore, his dereliction of duty led to the destruction of grain. I urge Your Majesty to order his severe punishment as a warning to others."

Ji Wuye bowed to King Han An and spoke calmly.

When Ji Wuye stepped forward to attack Han Fei, King Han An and his ministers were already used to it. After all, the conflict between the two had long been public, and it was already good that neither side had directly led troops to fight each other.

However, Ji Wuye's impeachment of Han Fei still surprised King An of Han and his ministers. They were not surprised that the grain had been burned, but rather curious about where Han Fei had obtained the money to buy grain in Wei.

"Ninth Brother, is what the General said true?" King Han asked Han Fei in a deep voice.

Han Fei glanced at Ji Wuye out of the corner of his eye. He had long anticipated that Ji Wuye would bring up the matter of Nanyang during the morning court session, so he stepped forward and spoke.

"Reporting to Father, the General is right. Your son's negligence led to the burning of the grain. But please rest assured, Father and all ministers, I have obtained more grain through other channels. As long as the grain arrives in the next two days, the price of grain in our country will definitely be reduced, and our country will have enough grain to provide relief to the disaster victims."

When Han Fei admitted it so frankly, the ministers were not surprised at all.

Han Fei is now the only son of King An of Han and the sole heir of the state. Even if Han Fei rebels, King An of Han has to turn a blind eye, let alone just Ji Wuye's impeachment.

“Grain? Ha~ Ninth Prince, that sounds nice, but where can you get grain from now? My Han treasury doesn’t have any extra money, so you’ve misappropriated the money from the King’s birthday banquet to buy grain from Wei.”

"What money do you have left to buy grain?"

Ji Wuye snorted coldly and looked at Han Fei, speaking in a cold voice.

He knew his impeachment wouldn't harm Han Fei, but it would be enough to annoy him. Once the ten-day bet between Emerald Tiger and Han Fei ended, Han Fei's life would naturally be taken by the Iron Blood Alliance.

Upon hearing Ji Wuye's words, King Han An's expression turned surprised. He then looked at Han Fei with a somewhat gloomy expression and asked in a deep voice.
"Ninth Brother, is what the General said true? Did you embezzle the money I prepared for my birthday banquet?"

"Your Majesty, I report to you..."

Just as Han Fei was about to reply, a panicked voice rang out from outside the hall.

"The border is under attack! The Qin army has launched a night raid on Nanyang! Nanyang is in grave danger!"

"Emergency at the border!"

The scout, who had rushed back to Xinzheng from Nanyang overnight, stormed into the council hall carrying a military report and loudly proclaimed...

"Your Majesty, the border is in dire need of help! Last night, the Qin army launched a surprise attack on Nanyang, and the city of Zhuren has been breached! The Qin army is still advancing into the heart of Nanyang!"

"What!?"

King Han An, Ji Wuye, Zhang Kaidi, Han Fei, and a group of ministers stared at the scout in astonishment, somewhat unable to believe what they were hearing.

A look of surprise flashed in Bai Yifei's eyes as he looked at the military report in the scout's hand and thought of what Xu Qing had said yesterday.
