After completing the preparations, Zhao Hao thought about it and decided to go to the palace again to meet Jiang Wan'er.
Seeing him coming, Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened up.
"Did you come from Beicang?"
"Haven't you had lunch yet?"
"That's right, stay with me!"
As he said that, he waved at Zhao Hao, motioning him to follow him into the inner room.
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and followed.
When they arrived at the inner room, they washed their hands one after another and then sat down facing each other at the small table.
Jiang Wan'er seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled softly and said, "What is the matter with you coming to the palace to see me?"
When he was in the outer room, Zhao Hao was still a little restrained, but after entering the inner room, he became relaxed.
While listening to the royal sister's question, he reached out and picked up a small bowl to fill it with soup for the royal sister and placed it in front of her.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the two armies are still in a stalemate north of the Chu River?"
"Why not take the initiative to attack?"
Jiang Wan'er said, "I have already divided the troops and ordered the 20,000 troops defending Yue to withdraw secretly."
"Follow the waterway, retake the south bank of the Chu River, and cut off the subsequent retreat route of the Southern Chu Army!"
"It will be here soon!"
"When that time comes, the 60,000-plus troops of Nanchu will be my meal!"
As Jiang Wan'er spoke, she tapped the plate of food in front of her lightly with her chopsticks, and two crisp sounds were heard.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao was immediately shocked: "Your Majesty, are you withdrawing the 20,000 troops from the border?"
"Then wouldn't there be less than 10,000 troops left to defend against Yue?"
"this……"
Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath and said, "There is no other way. Our military strength is limited to this."
"If we don't do this, if Nanchu continues to send more troops and breaks through the defenses on the north bank, our Imperial Capital will be exposed to their iron hoofs."
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said, "But, this is too dangerous!"
Jiang Wan'er said, "The army hides during the day and moves at night. It's extremely secretive. There won't be any problems."
"As for the Kingdom of Yue, it has been so long. I don't think they have the guts to take the initiative to attack!"
"As long as we can wipe out the nearly 60,000 troops of Nanchu in one go, their plan to attack Gan will be completely defeated!"
"Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to take a risk!"
This is not an adventure at all, this is clearly a gambler's behavior!
Zhao Hao calmed down for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder how many days it will take for the 20,000 troops to arrive?"
Jiang Wan'er said softly: "Calculating the time, it should be within these few days!"
Zhao Hao said: "Your Majesty, the Southern Chu army is entrenched on the north bank of the Chu River. Now they don't want to fight or retreat. I am worried..."
"Then Xie Daoxun, is he planning something again?"
Jiang Wan'er said, "Now, the Southern Chu army she led has suffered a great defeat. I guess that after the great defeat in Qinzhou, she is no longer able to command the Southern Chu army!"
"That's why I hesitated!"
"As for any conspiracy... at this point, what conspiracy could she have?"
"On the Tongshan front, the Wu army has already deployed 100,000 troops!"
“But I can’t get through!”
"In the direction of Luoye City, after the 200,000-strong Shu army retreated, it is absolutely impossible for Shu to send out more troops!"
"Otherwise, all the wealth of the Shu Kingdom will be wiped out!"
"So, there is no need to worry about Luoye City!"
"What else can she do?"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Majesty, so far, Wu has only mobilized 100,000 troops."
"In the direction of Luoye City, although Shu Kingdom will hardly send troops."
"But who can guarantee that Wu will not send troops to Luoye City through Shu?"
"If that happens, once Luoye City is breached, Tongshan will be attacked from both sides!"
"Tongshan is also in danger."
"When that time comes, if they unite their forces and attack the Imperial Capital, what will we do?"
After hearing Zhao Hao's analysis, Jiang Wan'er's expression suddenly changed.
Then he stood up suddenly.
He put down his chopsticks and walked towards the outer room.
As he walked, he said, "Come with me!"
Zhao Hao also put down his chopsticks, stood up and followed him out.
The two came to the sand table outside, and Jiang Wan'er quickly found the location of Luoye City.
Then, he used a slender wooden pole to draw a line between Luoye City and the middle of the border of Wu State.
After drawing this line, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, how could she ignore Luoye City?
The State of Wu attacked Tongshan City and mobilized an army of 100,000, which was equivalent to one-third of the total force of the State of Wu.
If they wanted, they could even send another 100,000 troops, pass through Shu State, open up a second front, and attack Luoye City.
Even though Shu Kingdom had an army of 200,000, they were unable to capture Luoye City.
That's because Xiao Danglu and Zhao Hao were well prepared and used their tactics properly.
It was a clever battle.
The Wu army is not as good as the Shu army. The two are completely incomparable.
Not to mention combat effectiveness, just in terms of fighting spirit, the Wu army is more than 18,000 blocks ahead of the Shu army.
With Luoye City’s current state and the number of garrisons, it would be impossible to resist Wu’s army of 100,000, even 50,000 would be impossible!
Thinking of this, Jiang Waner's face suddenly became quite ugly.
After a long silence, Jiang Wan'er immediately said to the outside: "Immediately summon the Left Prime Minister, King Kang, and the Internal History to attack!"
After saying this, Jiang Wan'er looked at Zhao Hao again.
"You really gave me a very important reminder!"
"It is very likely that the Wu Kingdom..."
"No, they must have sent troops to Hongda Luoye City via Shu!"
"If it were me, I would definitely do the same!"
Zhao Hao said: "Your Majesty, I have decided to fight the Southern Chu army as soon as possible!"
"Even if we can't eat the opponent in one bite, we must cause huge losses to the opponent!"
"In this way, the Southern Chu army will no longer be able to gain any influence!"
"When that time comes, we can focus all our energy on dealing with the Wu Kingdom alone!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we really can't wait any longer!"
"Let's defeat the Southern Chu army first. Even if we lose Luoye City and Tongshan City, we can still defend against the Wu army!"
"It all depends on who is faster!"
As Jiang Wan'er spoke, a determined light shone in her eyes, and it was obvious that she had made a decision.
Soon, the left prime minister Lu Liuliang, Prince Kang, and Zhao Hao's father Zhao Wenxiang arrived at the Pepper Palace.
Jiang Wan'er immediately said, "My three nobles, I intend to start a decisive battle with the Southern Chu army ahead of time. What do you think?"
The three of them were greatly surprised when they heard this.
The left prime minister said, "Your Majesty, my 20,000-man army will arrive soon and completely cut off the retreat of the Southern Chu army."
"Why do we have to launch a decisive battle in advance?"
"If we fight now, our army is not absolutely sure of winning!"
Prince Kang and Zhao Wenxiang both nodded, with confusion in their eyes.
