Xuancheng, in the Xiaoyao Palace.

A giant map was hung on the wall of the study. Li Xiaoyao, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, had a frown on his sword-browed eyebrows and his handsome face looked a little haggard.

He didn't take the tens of thousands of Chu troops attacking Xuancheng at all. He stared at the Chu State on the map with a torch.

Nangong Yue led 100,000 Chu troops to retreat, which would inevitably have a serious impact on his next plan.

If the attack on Chu State was delayed for too long, it would bring great pressure to Ye Hongyuan, who was receiving the order to return to Beijing.

A secret guard just came to report that the Zhao army that attacked the capital this time was as many as 400,000.

If Li Xiaoyao had to follow the original plan and return to the capital after the Chu State was defeated, I am afraid that Ye Hongyuan's 100,000 Hengcheng border troops and more than 20,000 black-armored troops in the capital would be in annihilated.

What's more, Li Xiaoyao is still unable to determine whether Ye Hongyuan can take back the military power of the 100,000 border troops in Hengcheng without any weapons.

All of this made it difficult for him to make a decision.

When he was in a dilemma, there were suddenly sounds of footsteps outside the study, mixed with some laughter and joy.

Li Xiaoyao blinked, then stood up and stretched. From the laughter and joy coming from outside the door, he had guessed that the Chu army outside the city had been destroyed.

"Your Majesty, Ye Chen is here."

Dangdang! A few knocks on the door were heard.

"Come in!"

When the door opened, Guo Hu and a majestic boy in his twenties, wearing black armor, and a long knife hanging on his waist, came along side by side.

"I will meet your Majesty." The young man knelt on one knee, bowed with his hands, and shouted with a majestic look.

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Come here."

Li Xiaoyao, who was standing in front of the giant map, waved to them. Then, he looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "Now the 400,000 troops of Zhao State are invading the capital. Tell me, what should we do next?"

Guo Hu and Ye Chen looked at each other, and then looked at the giant map hanging on the wall at the same time.

After a while, Ye Chen spoke out: "Your Majesty, if you follow your original plan, we can take over the entire Chu State without the intervention of the Zhao army."

"But now the situation has changed. Even if we enter Chu, it will take several months to go back and forth. In terms of time alone, we can afford it."

"but!"

"If our rear is occupied by the Zhao army during this period, then our logistics supplies will definitely be blocked. After that, we may face a situation where the morale of the army is unstable and the enemy will be affected."

"So, the last general suggested that the army first return to Beijing to repel the Zhao army, and then it depends on the situation."

Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at him calmly, saying, "If the Chu army counterattacked our army while our army was returning to the capital, what would we do?"

"Your Majesty, it depends on Guo Hu." Ye Chen smiled and looked at Guo Hu who was standing beside him.

"Yeah!" Li Xiaoyao nodded, looked at Guo Hu, and smiled and said, "I thought of it together with me."

"Me?" Guo Hu pointed at himself and said in confusion.

"It's you." Ye Chen patted his shoulder and smiled: "You have to take your 100,000 Xuancheng border troops to continue to station in Xuancheng, and also echo the 30,000 Black Armored Army stationed in the city."

Guo Hu looked at Li Xiaoyao and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, this is not possible. Why do you want me to stay instead of letting Ye Chen stay in Xuancheng?"

"I asked you to stay because you are familiar with Xuancheng. Moreover, there are 30,000 black armored troops left in the city, which is enough for you to block the Chu army." Ye Chen murmured.

"Don't this look down on my 100,000 Xuancheng border troops?" Guo Hu murmured softly.

"Where does it come from so much nonsense? If you want to stay, stay." Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly and glared at him with a narrowed eye.

"No!" Guo Hu replied in a depressed mood.

"Okay!" Ye Chen said, then put on Guo Hu's shoulder and said, "The reason why Your Majesty arranged this way is trust in you. Think about it, Xuancheng is so important. This is the base of our Black Armor Army. If this place is lost, then the logistics support of our Black Armor Army will be complete."

Guo Hu frowned and thought for a while, then laughed and said, "It seems that this is the case!"

"Hahaha………"

A few days later!

Li Xiaoyao led an army of more than 300,000 toward the direction of the capital.

Chu State.

Nangong Yue and Wu Qingshan took the charge of defection and eventually brought the 100,000 elite army of Chu back to the territory of Chu.

In the Chaoyang Palace, the King of Chu sat on the dragon throne with a serious expression. Nangong Yue, Wu Qingshan, the second prince and Qi Shuai returned to the hall together. The civil and military officials on both sides looked at them nervously.

"Who can tell me what's going on?" The King of Chu slapped the dragon throne, stood up suddenly, overlooking the four kneeling men of His Highness, and said angrily: "The army of 300,000 will bring me back 100,000 now? How did you fight this battle?"

When the King of Chu was angry, the ministers in the hall knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"It was Nangong Yue and Wu Qingshan who were fighting against Xuancheng. At the critical moment, they actually fled with a 100,000 army. Therefore, the army led by the last general was outnumbered and eventually lost all the losses." Qi Shuai said angrily.

"I heard from Your Majesty that what Qi Ruilin said is not completely true. After receiving a secret report, Li Xiaoyao had 250,000 troops in Xuancheng, and there were 200,000 elite troops in the city. In order to avoid our Chu army being attacked on both sides, there may be a danger of being wiped out by the entire army."

"So, in order to protect the last elite army of our Chu State, the General of the Mo had to do it. In the middle of the night, he secretly led the army and evacuated the front line overnight. However, the General of the Mo was not the defection that General Qi said, but preserved the strength of our Chu State army."

"Your Majesty, the general of the Mo has informed the generals on the front line of the front and dissuaded them to retreat with the general of the Mo, but they did not believe the general of the Mo." Nangong Yue said reasonably.

"Qi Ruilin, is there any such thing?" King Chu asked glaringly at him.

"Your Majesty, General Nangong was captured by Li Xiaoyao at that time. All the 300,000 troops of Chu State could testify to this. After that, Li Xiaoyao suddenly released him out of Xuancheng. How could you believe what you said? Moreover, Your Majesty, you may not know that Nangong Yue is a woman..." Qi Ruilin said.

"What? General Nangong is a woman?" The court officials in the hall were shocked by these words.

After hearing this, the King of Chu on the dragon throne began to become ferocious.

What's this?

This is a deceiving the king and the emperor. Is Nangong Yue really having a bad intention?

He looked down at her with a serious expression, and said coldly: "Nangong Yue, do you know your guilt?"
