Chapter 1045: Discussing countermeasures, delicacies in the forest

"You two, say something!"

"The great army from Xianyang has already attacked."

"How come it feels like you aren't anxious at all?"

Hu Hai was somewhat speechless.

These two old men were too calm.

They had been attacked right to their doorstep.

And they still had the mood to sit here and drink tea.

If it weren't for the fact that the two were so calm,

Hu Hai would have wanted to flee this place immediately.

"A perfectly good move has been ruined like this."

"Now there is no good way."

Ren Xiao sighed and shook his head.

Upon learning that the Qin Ruishi had arrived in Changsha Commandery,

Ren Xiao panicked.

But what could he do?

They received news that Meng Tian had led hundreds of thousands of border defense troops to Changsha Commandery.

But it wasn't said that they were here to suppress a rebellion, but rather to capture fugitives.

This capturing of fugitives was an excuse they had casually found at the beginning.

Now this excuse was being used by General Meng Tian.

Everyone understood; it was just to avoid causing panic among the people of Nanyue.

"This... this can't be blamed on me either."

"If Shangqing Meng Yi hadn't seen me, could I have captured him?"

"If I hadn't captured him, it would have been over anyway once he sent the news back."

"Capturing him could at least buy you more time."

Hu Hai was stubborn, believing that capturing Shangqing Meng Yi was a merit.

Ren Xiao looked at Hu Hai with disappointment.

"If you hadn't gone out to play."

"If you had played dumb, you could have gotten away with it."

Ren Xiao was somewhat disheartened and said nothing more.

"I..."

Hu Hai stammered for a long time without being able to say a word.

Watching the dialogue between the two,

Fan Zeng was also somewhat speechless.

All of this had exceeded his plan; it was an unexpected event.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have let Hu Hai go out to play in the first place.

Causing it to be like this now, it was truly unforeseen.

Now the Great Qin army had arrived in Changsha Commandery.

As long as they crossed Changsha Commandery, he estimated it wouldn't take long before they arrived in Nanhai Commandery.

When that time came, how to fight?

Would all the soldiers be of one mind with them?

On this point, Fan Zeng dared not imagine.

But he knew it was impossible for all soldiers to be of one mind with them.

Unless the soldiers all saw huge benefits placed before them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't follow them to fight against Great Qin.

Fortunately, they had also won over quite a few people in these few months.

Otherwise, when the Qin Ruishi attacked, they would be commanders without an army.

"Speed up and bribe some more people."

"At least we won't need to fight alone when the time comes."

"Those we don't trust must absolutely not be allowed into our ranks."

"The news of the imperial army's arrival must also be kept strictly confidential to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"This matter cannot let others know."

Fan Zeng's words caught the attention of Hu Hai and the other.

"Do you still have some other method?"

Ren Xiao looked at Fan Zeng in confusion.

If there was still a method, it would be better than waiting here to die.

"We might be able to do this... and then do that..."

Fan Zeng whispered, fearing that others might overhear.

The three of them began a new round of intense discussion.

Not long after.

The three began to become cheerful.

The atmosphere was no longer as stifling as before.

The time spent on the road is often the most boring and tedious.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The great army led by Ying Ying Zi Ye had spent these half a month. ===== CHAPTER 1047 =====
