Chapter 964

The generals condemned him one after another, wishing they could rush back immediately to wipe out Ren Xiao.

They were not afraid of Ren Xiao; even if he had five hundred thousand troops, so what?

Most of Ren Xiao's five hundred thousand troops were infantry.

Great Qin's main cavalry force was the Border Defense Army.

Having captured many warhorses from the Xiongnu, the Border Defense Army's strength was now different from before.

Even facing five hundred thousand troops, they had the ability to fight!

In the current situation, if they spent a little more time, taking down the Xiongnu was only a matter of time.

However, with the Nanyue rebellion, they could not worry about the Xiongnu, although it was a great pity.

But there was no other way; they could only suppress the Nanyue rebellion first, then deal with the Xiongnu.

The generals truly did not want to give up the pursuit of the Xiongnu, but there was no other way.

Besides feeling regret, there was nothing else they could do.

"Your Highness, must we really go back?"

"The Nanyue rebellion is very sudden; who knows when we will arrive if we rush there."

"We are not far from taking down the Xiongnu now, but to leave just like this, what a pity."

"Is there any better, decisive method?"

"For example, we don't go back and continue to take down the Xiongnu."

"Is it feasible to let the previously recruited new soldiers suppress Nanyue?"

Han Xin stepped forward and bowed in salute.

This was the best method he could think of.

If this method didn't work either.

Then they would likely have to withdraw from here.

The generals' eyes lit up upon hearing Han Xin's words.

They had been too anxious and had forgotten about the new soldiers.

Now that Han Xin brought it up, they remembered that they had recruited one million new soldiers some time ago!

If one million new soldiers were sent to Nanyue, they could likely contend with Nanyue's five hundred thousand troops, right?

Although they were all new soldiers who had not been on the battlefield, the numbers were there.

Two against one should be fine, right?

As for their side, wouldn't it be wonderful to leave after wiping out the Xiongnu?

Everyone looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with hopeful eyes.

If this could be done, fighting on two fronts would be the best.

Before Ying Ying Zi Ye could speak, Meng Tian stood out.

"Don't even think about it."

"New soldiers have not been on the battlefield yet; it is better to proceed step by step."

"Participating in such a large campaign all at once, heavy losses are inevitable."

Meng Tian rejected this proposal.

He knew best what the strength of the new soldiers was like.

New soldiers who had not been on the battlefield might not even be able to beat veterans one-on-three.

This was the gap caused by having experience versus having no experience.

"The Grand General is right; this plan is not advisable."

Ying Ying Zi Ye also nodded; it wasn't that he hadn't thought about this problem.

The new soldiers were numerous, but none had seen blood.

How was this any different from sending them to their deaths on the battlefield?

This method definitely wouldn't work.

If it could, he wouldn't need to have people go back.

The generals shook their heads in disappointment upon hearing this.

They also knew that it was not good for new soldiers to participate in such a large campaign all at once.

But wasn't there no other way for now?

Letting them go back, the journey was too long.

By the time they reached Nanyue, who knew when it would be.

This was truly worrying.

"Then there is no other way."

"Home is more important; the Xiongnu can only be fought later."

Han Xin also shook his head with a bitter smile, feeling extremely regretful.

It was truly heaven playing tricks on them.

The Xiongnu's fate was not meant to end.

Otherwise, in a short while, the Xiongnu would surely have been taken down by them.

"Go out and prepare."

"Set off for Great Qin immediately!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye waved his hand, signaling everyone to go out and prepare.

"Understood!"

The generals bowed and left.

Returning the army required quite a bit of preparation.

Even if they were unwilling, they had to accept this fact.

Not going back was definitely not an option. ===== CHAPTER 966 =====
