Chapter 66 Temporary Compromise

"Nangong Yue, don't say anything about this. Will this prince not know how many troops the Han State has?" After Nangong Yueyi said that, the second prince immediately responded: "The total strength of the Han State is not more than 400,000, and the real elite troops do not more than 100,000."

"There are 100,000 Han troops in Hengcheng, and the existing 200,000 Han troops in Xuancheng have already gathered all the forces of the Han Kingdom. Where did Li Xiaoyao come from? The 180,000 army attack Licheng?"

The second prince looked at Nangong Yue with contempt and continued, "The generals present are not fools. How could they be deceived by such low-level lies as you?"

After hearing this, more than a dozen generals nodded. The Han and Chu countries belonged to small countries on the Xingshen Continent.

The existing 300,000 soldiers were also recruited by some old and weak soldiers to prevent war.

It is truly called the army of elite troops, with no more than 100,000 Han State. However, because the Chu State has developed water conservancy and developed agriculture in recent years, it is only more than the Han State, with 200,000.

What's more, it is impossible to maintain a huge army without sufficient food.

A country like the Han Dynasty with barren land can support more than 300,000 troops, which is already the limit of national strength. How could it be that there is an extra amount of food to supply another 180,000 troops?

"Nangong Yue, don't try to confuse the public. When I take down Xuancheng, I will send someone to take you back to the capital and wait for the King of Chu to take the lead." General Qi said majesticly.

"Nangong Yue, have you betrayed the State of Chu and surrendered to Li Xiaoyao? Otherwise, how could he let you return safely?" A general of Chu said glaring at her.

"The second prince, Qi Shuai, why not take Nangong Yue down on the spot. The last general must have surrendered to the Han State. Otherwise, how could she fabricate such a ridiculous lie to deceive our Chu army into retreating?" A general said to the second prince and Qi Shuai.

"Catch this traitor!" After hearing the analysis of several generals, several more generals pointed at Nangong Yue indignantly.

"My generals, the generals in Zhenguo's house are full of loyalty and wise men. Although General Nangong is a woman, I believe that she will never betray Chu."

"This must be the trick of being sowed by Li Xiaoyao, the traitor. He just wanted us to have internal strife and then look for opportunities to defeat us one by one."

However, several generals stood on Nangong Yue's side.

Seeing this, the second prince spoke out: "Generals, whether Nangong Yue betrays the State of Chu must decide whether the King of Chu personally. As for the withdrawal of the army she mentioned, I believe that it is absolutely impossible. Since the troops are at the city today, I suggest that General Qi will be the chief general and command the army to continue to attack Xuancheng."

"No!" At this time, Nangong Yue, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and said, "The army should not stay here, otherwise, our Chu State's 200,000 troops will really be buried here."

"Random." General Qi glared at Nangong Yue with a cold face and said, "Nangong Yue, don't be ungrateful. The second prince will not pursue your treason for the time being. You dare to make such treason remarks to disrupt our army's morale. What are your intentions?"

"Ship Qi, don't talk nonsense to her. We will obey your military orders and the second prince. As long as you give the order, we will kill Nangong Yue on the spot." A general under General Qi made a suggestion.

Nangong Yue still wanted to speak out, but was stopped by several generals loyal to her.

"Second Prince, we promised for General Nangong that during the attack on Xuancheng, we would obey General Qi's orders in all military operations." A middle-aged general in his forties stood in front of Nangong Yue and said to the second prince.

"Okay!" The second prince said coldly: "Ship Qi, the next battle to attack Xuancheng will be fully entrusted to you."

"Please rest assured that the second prince, within three days, I will lead a large army to attack Xuancheng." General Qi bowed and bowed.

The second prince turned around and headed towards the rear under the crowd of guards.

"Uncle Wu, why did you stop me just now?" Nangong Yue held her and asked the middle-aged general in his forties.

This person's name is Wu Qingshan, and he is the old subordinate of the General's Mansion of Zhenguo.

Nangong Yue’s skills also come from him. In a sense, he can be regarded as Nangong Yue’s master or uncle.

The reason why Nangong Yue was young was able to take the position of a general in the army was also inseparable from Wu Qingshan's secret support.

"Yue'er, your identity has been revealed now, and just now, the second prince had already made up his mind to continue attacking Xuancheng. If we disagree, Uncle Wu is afraid that he will be against you." Wu Qingshan said with a peaceful expression.

"Uncle Wu, he is just a down-and-out prince who betrayed the Han Dynasty. What can he do to me?" Nangong Yue said next to Wu Qingshan.

"Yue'er! What you see is only the surface. These days, the second prince in your eyes has privately bribed a large number of generals. If he really attacked the nephew of the King of Chu and was in charge of military supervision, he would punish you for treason, and then no one can save you."

"And just now, he has given you a step, so you have to understand that it is a foregone conclusion that the Chu army continues to attack Xuancheng, and no one can change it, do you know?" Wu Qingshan stopped, looked at her, and said with a serious expression.

"Isn't he just worried that the Chu army would retreat and that his dream of the Emperor of Han would be shattered!" Nangong Yue frowned and said, "I look at him! Even Li Xiaoyao's toe is not as good as Li Xiaoyao."

"Rareless, is there anyone who says that?" Wu Qingshan shouted in a low voice with a serious expression.

"Uncle Wu, don't be angry, I'm just talking angry words." Nangong Yue said a little weaker.

"Hmph..." Wu Qingshan snorted coldly, and continued to head towards his camp. The scar man and several generals followed far behind.

"Uncle Wu, we really can't continue to attack Xuancheng anymore. What Yue'er said just now is true." Nangong Yue followed.

Wu Qingshan stopped, turned around with a serious expression and said, "Li Xiaoyao has really captured Licheng?"

"Uncle Wu, it's true." Nangong Yue said seriously and seriously.

Wu Qingshan frowned. He never questioned what Nangong Yue said, but this matter really could not exist.

Will there be so many army in Han State? Where did they get the food? Where did they get the people?

Seeing Wu Qingshan fall into deep thought, Nangong Yue walked to him and said, "Uncle Wu, I didn't believe this at first, but Li Xiaoyao was cunning. Since he could raise such a powerful army as the Ghost Army, I believe that the fact that he privately raised an army of 180,000 must be a real thing."

Although Nangong Yue's words were incredible, Wu Qingshan heard it. He remained silent. Then, he frowned and turned around, and continued to walk towards his army camp.
