Kabanata 199: Chapter 116: Emperor Qin Shi Huang Overjoyed

Hearing the words "great victory," the two men who had been reveling in Zhao Feng's misfortune began to feel uneasy.

Zhao Feng was defending Wei City. To any discerning observer, it seemed an impossible war to win, a battle they could never win against Wei Wuji. But now, it seemed something had changed.

"A great victory?" Ying Zheng was also astonished. He fixed his gaze on the messenger and demanded loudly, "Are you certain it is a great victory?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty," the messenger announced loudly. "The report of the great victory at Wei City was personally submitted by Wei City's Military Judge. It was first vetted by the Senior General, who then presented it to Your Majesty."

Is it truly a victory report? Could some mishap in Wei have caused Wei Wuji to withdraw his troops? Ying Zheng speculated. Even as a king of great ambition and strategy, he could not fathom what the outcome of the battle for Wei City could be.
