Chapter 1115
"If it fails, the map will become their possession."
Shanu recalled the purpose of this trip and felt somewhat ashamed.
After all, he was caught not long after arriving.
He was simply embarrassed to the extreme.
"There was a small accident in this matter."
"We fell asleep, and these two even snored."
"Look, we were discovered before we even started the rescue."
Shanu recalled this matter and could not help but roll his eyes at the other two.
If it weren't for the two of them snoring, maybe there would have been a chance to save the person.
Shanu talked about their coming here.
Shangqing Meng Yi felt somewhat speechless after hearing it.
Falling asleep was one thing, but they actually snored.
Being discovered seemed inevitable.
However, Shangqing Meng Yi had no thoughts.
Even if they were not discovered, it would not be so easy to save him.
After all, only three people came; it was too difficult to save him.
The focus was still on delivering the map!
The two soldiers were ashamed by Shanu's words.
They also secretly blamed themselves.
If they hadn't snored, they might not have been caught.
But things had come to this, what else could be said.
Shangqing Meng Yi comforted the two appropriately.
Anyway, he was used to it; it was not so easy to leave.
"Then why did you deliver the map to them?"
"What is the purpose of letting them go to that so-called Maurya Dynasty?"
"His Highness drew the map; couldn't you go yourselves?"
"Why let Ren Xiao and the others go?"
Shangqing Meng Yi was somewhat unable to understand.
This matter was somewhat illogical.
"This is His Highness's strategy."
"Don't say, His Highness's strategy is truly perfect."
Shanu's eyes were almost full of little stars.
Looking at that appearance, he was very worshipful of Ying Ying Zi Ye.
Subsequently, Shanu told the general process of this matter.
Originally, His Highness's idea was to let the civilian laborers simply repair the road.
This way, they could reach the Maurya Dynasty more quickly.
But because Ren Xiao and the others were here.
He just delivered the map and let them open the way in front.
And Ren Xiao and the others had no other path to take.
Either surrender, or obediently go and open the way.
Wanting to run to other places was almost impossible.
Shangqing Meng Yi, who understood the ins and outs, had his eyes wide open.
He really did not expect such a result.
"One hundred thousand rebel troops opening the way in front, and more than nine hundred thousand Imperial troops following behind."
"This method is wonderful!"
"It is much stronger than civilian laborers opening the way."
"As expected of His Highness, the idea is truly unique!"
Shangqing Meng Yi felt it was very interesting.
Wasn't this free labor?
Not using it would be a waste.
"General Meng, I told a small lie just now."
"We don't have that many troops coming here."
"To be precise, only about six hundred thousand soldiers came."
Shanu had not forgotten what Han Xin said.
The northern border also needed to be returned to.
"More than six hundred thousand?"
"The quantity doesn't match."
"Did you calculate wrong?"
Shangqing Meng Yi was puzzled; all the military strength of Nanyue added up to a million.
Excluding the hundred thousand rebel troops, the Imperial Army also had nine hundred thousand.
If only six hundred thousand came.
Then what about the remaining three hundred thousand?
Shanu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them.
Only then did he whisper: "His Highness said to let the border defense army withdraw to the northern border."
"After all, that side cannot be left for too long."
"Only after the Xiongnu there are solved can we be at ease."
"Telling Ren Xiao and the others that there were so many Imperial troops was to give them more pressure."
Shangqing Meng Yi was stunned after hearing this.
This youth could handle affairs.
Truth and falsehood, virtual and real.
It was truly impossible to guard against.
"So it was the border defense army that was going back to the north."
"No wonder only more than six hundred thousand soldiers followed."
Shangqing Meng Yi was somewhat helpless.
He had not even seen his big brother yet.
He did not know if there would be a chance to see him.
They were going back so soon.
But he could understand.
The northern border was also of vital importance.
It could not be neglected.
Counting it up, the time they had been away was not short.
