The news that Prince Yan had interrogated the Sacred n’s army from the Sacred Kings was that they had infiltrated the Great Zhou’s territory from different directions. At the same time, Shadow Six’s pigeon message had also arrived at the Young Master Manor. It further confirmed that the four Saint Kings were not lying and also perfected the news of them.
It turned out that after the army infiltrated the Great Zhou’s territory, they had been gathering in the same direction, heading straight for Yu City.
Yu City was less than a hundred miles away from Yan City, and there was also a navy stationed there. Overall, Yu City was mainly made up ofnd troops. The reason why Yu City was chosen as a gathering ce was mainly because of two reasons. Firstly, their cooperation with Yan Huaijing had broken down, and they could not silently enter the capital in batches. They were stranded in Yu City. The second reason was that arge portion of them hade by the water route. Yan City’s defense was too tight, and they could not go ashore in Yan City, so they could only settle for the next best thing.
When Shadow Six rushed over, it was already toote. Yu City had long been upied by the Sacred n’s army. Prince Yan could not be med for his misjudgment. It was really because of the information Yan Huaijing had provided back then. The other party only had a ten thousand-strong army. The ten thousand-strong army was quite easy to hide. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not take down a city. A hundred thousand was different. Where could they hide? They might as well go all out and snatch Yu City.
Shadow Six secretly infiltrated Yu City to investigate. The army of Yu City had basically been destroyed. The army of the Sacred n had about eighty thousand soldiers, and Shadow Six did not know that the other party actually had a hundred thousand. He cursed Yan Huaijing to death in his heart. There was such a big difference between ten thousand and eighty thousand. Had Yan Huaijing’s brain been kicked by a donkey to be deceived like this?
“Shadow Six still doesn’t know that it’s actually a hundred thousand.” Yu Wan put down the letter and felt Shadow Six’s anger through the note. “But then again, didn’t those Saint Kings say that there’s a hundred thousand troops?
Where did the other twenty thousand go?”
In Prince Yan’s study, Prince Yan, Shadow Thirteen, and Yu Shaoqing were still sitting.
Yu Shaoqing looked at the map on the table. To be honest, he had been stationed in the Northwest all year round and was more familiar with the terrain of the Northwest. He had passed by Yu City before, but he was all on his way and did not pay much attention to the military intelligence of Yu City. “Is there still twenty thousand on the way?” Yu Shaoqing muttered.
Prince Yan nodded. “Most likely.”
“Could it be a navy?” Yu Shaoqing asked.
“We can’t rule out this possibility,” Prince Yan said.
Those Saint Kings did not know that they would fall into Prince Yan’s hands in advance, so it was impossible for them to match their confessions in advance. They had all told him that there were a total of 100,000 troops, so it must be at least 100,000 troops. As for the military types, they did not know. This was not within their jurisdiction.
Their duty was to find the entrance to the holynd and regain the Holy Soul Pearl. Other experts were naturally responsible for fighting the Great Zhou.
“Did those Saint Kings reveal any information about the generals?” Yu Shaoqing asked.
Prince Yan shook his head. “The Sacred n is quite secretive about this operation. Those Saint Kings don’t have much control over the army’s situation. However, they say that they can’t rule out the possibility that there are experts of the same level as them in the army.”
“Didn’t they lose the Holy Soul Pearl? They can even nurture so many Saint
Kings!” Yu Shaoqing had already learned about the Holy Soul Pearl from Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen. However, neither of them said who the female cat burr who stole the Holy Soul Pearl back then was.
In the entire Young Master Manor, only Yu Shaoqing and Yu Wan did not guess that it was a certain someone.
“The power of the Sacred n is very strong. This is a tough battle.” Although the blood of the Helian family of Nanzhao flowed in Yu Shaoqing’s bones, he had been raised by the Great Zhou. It was the people of the Great Zhou who had raised him. He was Yu Sang of Lotus Flower Vige, a general of the Great Zhou. The enemy of the Great Zhou was his enemy!
On the seventh day of the New Year, Shadow Thirteen disguised himself as Yan Jiuchao and sent Xiao Zhenting and Yan Huaijing off as the Regent. Themoners all knew that a war wasing. However, when they heard that the other party only had a 100,000-strong army and that Grand Marshal Xiao was going to war this time, they were filled with confidence in this battle.
“Grand Marshal Xiao will definitely return victorious!”
“That’s right, that’s right! Grand Marshal Xiao will definitely beat those outsiders into a pulp! There’s no battle in this world that Grand Marshal Xiao can’t win! ”
“That’s right! With Grand Marshal Xiao around, we will definitely win this battle!”
Among themoners, cheers for Xiao Zhenting were sounding, while cheers for Yan Huaijing were weak.
Yan Huaijing was a little mncholic, but he was not mncholic for long. After all, this battle was all because of him. Compared to being mncholic, he med himself and felt guilty..
