Chapter 1012: Supervisors Take Office, Each Sets Out

~5 min read 900 words

Ying Ying Zi Ye's brows were tightly locked.

Both sides held their own opinions.

Being caught in the middle, he was also somewhat helpless.

"Your Highness, please say something."

"We all listen to you."

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, please say something."

"Is it better for us to separate or to travel slowly together?"

At this moment—

The generals all stopped arguing.

They hoped His Highness would come forward to mediate.

After all, continuing to argue like this was not a solution.

The power of decision lay in His Highness's hands.

However His Highness said to travel, they had to travel.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked up at everyone.

He placed his finger on the map.

"We are currently here, this is Nanyang County."

"Then to here, and then to here."

"This position is what counts as Nanyue territory."

"It can be said that the journey is long, and traveling separately is not a wise choice."

Ying Ying Zi Ye pointed at the map above.

Looking at the positions his finger pointed to: Nan County, Changsha County.

The location of Changsha County was south of the Yangtze River, belonging to the territory under Nanyue's jurisdiction.

This was also a county city they needed to pass through.

This was the nearest route.

The Nanyue soldiers blocking the border was also in Changsha County.

Now, no one knew what the situation was over there.

Traveling separately also had many drawbacks.

"Regarding the water route you mentioned, are there that many ships?"

"Traveling separately is also not advisable; unity brings benefits, separation brings harm."

"Now, no one knows what the situation in Nanyue is."

"Asking the local government for grain is also not advisable."

"Our numbers are too large; there is no other way but to bring our own."

"Things have reached this point; rushing this bit of time has no meaning."

"Arriving in Nanyue earlier or later won't change anything."

"It doesn't matter if we are a bit slower; the most important thing is to be steady."

"The soldiers are all very powerful, but don't let it verify that saying: arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated."

The people present heard His Highness's words and all quieted down.

Perhaps it was their lack of thorough consideration.

No one knew the situation in Nanyue.

If the cavalry went first and were blocked upon reaching Nanyue, and the grain couldn't support them, they would starve to death.

Taking the water route also didn't have that many ships to transport them.

"We all listen to His Highness; unity brings benefits, separation brings harm."

"Traveling slowly is fine; the most important thing is to be steady."

"Don't think about those useless things; just obey the command."

"If there is nothing else, hurry out and rest; we still have to travel tomorrow."

Meng Tian swept his gaze over those present with a warning look.

The generals who had originally wanted to speak up all closed their mouths.

They felt they had been a bit pushy.

Feeling that His Highness was easy to talk to, they had been a bit unscrupulous in making demands.

Now, warned by the Grand General, they suddenly woke up.

"Your Highness, we all obey the arrangements."

"We will go down and rest now."

"Your Highness, please do not blame us."

The generals all stood up and took their leave.

Only Meng Tian, Han Xin, Wang Li, and Li Xin remained in the camp tent.

"Your Highness, they lack discipline."

"When I go out in a moment, this general will discipline them."

Meng Tian was somewhat embarrassed, feeling that those subordinate generals were questioning His Highness's decision.

After all, most of those people were his subordinate generals.

If they were disobedient, he also had responsibility.

"It's fine, questions can be raised."

"They thought it would be easier to act separately, but they ignored that the actual situation does not allow it."

Ying Ying Zi Ye shook his head; the hard conditions did not allow it, and he had no other way.

Some things could not be rushed.

He also wanted to be faster, but in this era of inconvenient transportation, vehicles and horses were all very slow.

"Is there anything else?"

"If not, all of you go down and rest early."

"We will be traveling for a long time recently."

Meng Tian and the others had nothing else to say.

Having traveled for several days, everyone was quite tired.

They also didn't want to disturb His Highness's rest.

"Your Highness, you rest first, we take our leave."

Meng Tian and the others stood up, bowed, and turned to leave the camp tent.

Xianyang City.

In the Great Qin Daily office.

After Seeing Xiao He and Chen Ping arranged all the affairs in the newspaper office properly.

They walked out of the newspaper office one after another and came outside the city.

Outside the city, two small teams were already waiting.

Each team had one thousand cavalry.

These cavalry were sent by the Commandant's army to protect the safety of the two.

As for the other civilian laborers, they were not here.

They had all rushed to the gathering place to meet up.

Today was the time for Seeing Xiao He and the others to separate.

Chen Ping needed to lead a team to the northern border.

Seeing Xiao He also needed to lead a team to start building the imperial highway. ===== CHAPTER 1014 =====
