Chapter 24 Divine Martial King
"Also, what are your thoughts on the arrival of this delegation from the three countries?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin inquired.
He knew very well that since the delegation from the three kingdoms had entered Eastern Qin through irregular means, they must have had ill intentions.
However, we haven't yet found out what the Three Kingdoms were trying to do.
"I'm not sure about the Western Zhou and Southern Qi dynasties, but the Northern Barbarians must have come to negotiate peace."
"In the last great battle with the Northern Barbarians, I severely injured them, and they will be unable to fight again for at least several years."
Qin Wu also sent people to investigate the motives of the Western Zhou and Southern Qi.
It just takes some time to investigate.
But it's definitely not a good thing.
He only knew the situation of the Northern Barbarians, since he was the one who did it.
In this battle, he massacred at least 400,000 Northern Barbarian soldiers.
The Northern Barbarians have already been weakened.
Because the Northern Barbarians were located deep in the north, they were the weakest of all the nations, and this time they lost hundreds of thousands of troops.
This is absolutely a devastating blow to them.
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin heard Qin Wu say that the Northern Barbarians had been too weak to fight for several years, he was alarmed.
He desperately wanted to know what Qin Wu had done to cause such heavy losses to the Northern Barbarians.
"I didn't do anything special, I just massacred hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian soldiers."
Qin Wu noticed the Eastern Qin Emperor's doubts.
He offered a brief explanation, but his tone was as if he were talking about something trivial.
This made the Emperor of Eastern Qin gasp in shock.
A massacre?
Hundreds of thousands of troops?
He truly never expected that his youngest son would be so crazy.
That’s an army of hundreds of thousands!
Even if you just stand there and let someone kill you, it will take a very long time.
How on earth did he do it?
They massacred hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
The key point is that this matter was not mentioned in the battle report.
If Qin Wu hadn't brought it up now, he probably wouldn't have known about it for who knows how long.
"Hahaha, very good, very good. The crisis in the north is temporarily resolved, but it has saved Eastern Qin a great trouble."
After being shocked, the Emperor of Eastern Qin burst into laughter.
This news was absolutely great news for him, a fantastic piece of good news.
Now that the North is safe and sound, and with Qin Wu breaking through to the Grandmaster level, they no longer need to fear the forces of the martial arts world.
He could then begin the grand plan of several generations of rulers of the Eastern Qin.
He attacked the Southern Qi and Western Zhou dynasties and unified the Central Plains.
It became the first unified dynasty in the Central Plains.
After all, the Central Plains had been in war for hundreds of years before finally reaching the current situation.
Apart from the Northern Barbarians, which of the other three kingdoms didn't want to unify the Central Plains?
As for why the Northern Barbarians were excluded, it was because of their geographical location.
They have a vast land area but a sparse population, and the climate is cold for a long time, so the suitable planting season is very short each year.
The population they could support was very small; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent troops to plunder grain from the Eastern Qin and Western Zhou every year.
This was also intentional on the part of the Eastern Qin and Western Zhou dynasties, who limited the amount of grain and fodder sold to the northern barbarians each year.
Let the Northern Barbarians maintain the status quo.
Once the three kingdoms have determined their victories and defeats, and the northern barbarians are dealt with, the unification of the Central Plains can be completed.
Qin Wu didn't say much; he knew what the Eastern Qin Emperor was happy about.
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now. I have only been back for a short time and there are still many things to be done at the manor."
Qin Wu said something indifferently, then prepared to get up and leave.
He really didn't have much to talk about with the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
To be honest, their relationship was barely better than that of strangers.
Not hating the Emperor of Eastern Qin was the limit of what he could do.
If the Emperor of Eastern Qin had paid more attention to him and his mother, his mother would not have died such a tragic and miserable death.
"Alright, once you've finished dealing with things at the manor, go check on the Imperial Guards! Now that you're the commander of the Imperial Guards, you should make proper arrangements for them."
After Emperor Dong Qin finished speaking, he gestured to Qin Wu that he could go about his business.
Qin Wu simply grunted in response and left.
Looking in the direction Qin Wu had left, the Emperor of Eastern Qin could only sigh helplessly.
He knew that Qin Wu was still harboring resentment over his mother's death.
He also sent people to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Qin Wu's mother.
However, more than a decade has passed, and it's not something that can be investigated and clarified in a day or two.
Not long after Qin Wu left.
The news that Qin Wu had been granted the title of Shenwu King, a position equivalent to that of the Crown Prince, and that he possessed regency power spread throughout the capital.
With this imperial edict, Qin Wu was essentially made regent of Eastern Qin.
Even if a crown prince is chosen in the future, he will still be lower in status than Qin Wu.
Unless the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor of Eastern Qin.
However, because Qin Wu was the regent appointed by the retired emperor, the new emperor of Eastern Qin had no way to deal with him.
Furthermore, Qin Wu held considerable military power and possessed formidable strength.
The new emperor would have even less chance of doing anything to Qin Wu.
