The tent fell silent again, as everyone waited for Ye Beihan to speak.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Beihan asked Su Luo a question.
"Su Luo, what do you think of the timing for attacking Nanning? What are the chances of success?"
After much back and forth, it turned out that Ye Beihan's purpose was this: to bring Su Luo here to listen to their discussion, but ultimately, he wanted to learn about the situation in Nanning from her.
“Your Highness, why are you asking her? How could a woman understand military affairs, especially since she is the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Nanning?”
In matters of great importance to the military, the deputy generals would naturally exclude Su Luo, an outsider, but the Regent insisted on involving her, which was truly unlucky.
Ye Beihan remained silent, waiting quietly for Su Luo to speak, ignoring the misunderstandings of the deputy generals.
"I think it's not advisable to fight any further now. You should retreat back to Beiliang to avoid losing both your wife and your army."
Su Luo spoke leisurely, picking up a cup of tea and taking a small sip casually, her tone nonchalant.
But the more she acted this way, the angrier the deputy general of Beiliang and Shuangshuo became.
"What utter nonsense! This is precisely when Nanning is at its weakest. If we don't attack now, when will we?"
“Master, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture is from Nanning. We need not take her words into consideration.”
Shuang Shuo knew that Ye Beihan had a crush on Su Luo, but she came to Beiliang with a purpose, and she didn't become one of them just because she joined the Beiliang army.
It's really inappropriate to have her come to listen to their discussion tonight, but the master always has his own ideas.
"Su Luo, tell me why you want my Great Northern Liang to withdraw its troops?"
Ignoring everyone else, Ye Beihan only asked about Su Luo.
Shuang Shuo and the others also wanted to see what Su Luo would say. Did she really want to save the entire Nanning by herself?
We'll see how she proves herself right in a bit.
Su Luo: "I'm doing this for your own good..."
"snort……"
"Hahaha……"
"Speaking wildly..."
As soon as Su Luo uttered her first words, those people began to mock her.
However, under Ye Beihan's cold gaze, the tent returned to silence.
From the moment Ye Beihan asked Su Luo for her opinion, Su Luo had her own plan: if Bei Liang were to attack Nanning again at this time...
They couldn't take it, but Nanning wouldn't fare much better. Even with the weapons she left behind, it would still be a place of devastation.
Moreover, with Nangong Qing just ascending the throne and Nangong Chiyu poisoned and unconscious, Nanning is currently without a leader. Indeed, as they said, it is the best time to attack.
But now that Su Luo is here, she should stop all of this.
"I don't think any of you know the internal situation in Nanning as well as I do."
Su Luo stood up, walked to Ye Beihan and Shuang Shuo, and said with a serious expression.
"You think Nanning is fragile right now, but there are hidden dangers hidden inside. As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, you may not only fail to destroy the country but also be destroyed yourself."
Having poisonous insects in hand, Shuang Shuo was quite disdainful of what Su Luo said.
"Then let me ask you, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, what makes Nanning capable of destroying my Northern Liang?"
Ye Beihan raised an eyebrow, ready to listen attentively.
You can't teach someone by teaching them; you can teach them by demonstrating things, and they'll learn it in no time.
Su Luo used her sleeve to take out a bomb from her spatial storage. These bombs were several times more powerful, and their blast radius was expanded by three zhang.
"This is it, Nanning's new weapon!"
Su Luo produced something the size of a fist, which was not convincing at all; instead, it was met with ridicule.
"Isn't this just a stone? Is Nanning so poor that it has to use stones as weapons? Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha... Deputy Minister of Agriculture, you didn't just pick this stone up outside, did you? Hahaha..."
Su Luo didn't want to explain further and went straight to Ye Beihan.
"Ye Beihan, this is the lowest-grade weapon in Nanning. They gave it to me to save my life. Do you want to see its power?"
Ye Beihan sat up straight. Su Luo was someone of a certain caliber; how could Nanning possibly use the lowest-level weapon to save her life?
"Very well, I've been wanting to see just how amazing the stones from Nanning are."
The group followed Su Luo outside the tent, all wanting to see her make a fool of herself.
"Vice Minister of Agriculture, you'd better throw that stone in your hand with good aim, its power might even give this general a bump."
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.
Su Luo chuckled, pulled the safety pin with her left hand, and threw the bomb into the deserted training ground with her right.
The bomb landed with a deafening roar, and in an instant, the flames were as bright as day. A fleeting spark illuminated the mushroom cloud of thick smoke that shot into the sky.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, much like the slowly cooling laughter of Shuang Shuo and his lieutenants.
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the training ground. Sparks were still flying from the bombed area, and the yellow earth had turned scorched black.
"General Hu, can you handle the bruise I've created with this stone?"
General Hu dared not speak. Wasn't this the same heavy weapon they used outside Beichuan City that day? In just half an hour, it could wipe out their entire army.
He didn't see it clearly that night, and thought it was a large weapon, but he didn't expect that a weapon as big as a stone could have such amazing power.
"this……"
"These are just low-level weapons. There are also high-level weapons, like an atomic bomb as thick as an arm. Those are the most powerful weapons."
Just one bomb could wipe out half of Beiliang, leaving the blasted land barren for a century.
Ye Beihan didn't completely believe Su Luo's words, but they weren't entirely unbelievable either.
The situation right before our eyes is the best proof. Nanning still has some breathing room. If they cannot deliver a fatal blow, they may be counterattacked.
"Su Luo, tell me what the benefits would be of us retreating back to Beiliang."
Ye Beihan spoke up, and Su Luo, seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, quickly replied.
"Of course it's beneficial. Nanning is truly in chaos. It's May now, the late emperor has passed away, and half the country is suffering from drought. They need to recuperate."
If we attack rashly at this moment, the crouching tiger will naturally fight back with a desperate struggle.
Moreover, you saw the weapon just now. I believe you can find out its authenticity from your informants in Beichuan City.
As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." Taking a step back now will allow you to do things better later.
Beiliang also needs to recuperate, and this time Ye Beihan also wants to use the power of the whole country to crush Nanning.
Moreover, he had received intelligence from an informant that the Red Feather Army had recently acquired a batch of new weapons, which was why he summoned Su Luo to try and extract information from her.
"Shuangshuo, withdraw your troops tomorrow and return to Beiliang..."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Luo's arm and forcefully pulled her into the tent.
He was very strong, and Su Luo couldn't shake him off no matter how hard she tried.
"Ye Beihan, let go!"
After finally managing to pull his arm out, Ye Beihan turned to face her, his exotic and perfect face filled with gloom.
