Chapter 969

Now that they saw the Border Defense Army return, the new soldiers were naturally very happy.

But if they knew why the Border Defense Army had come, they likely wouldn't be able to laugh.

The Border Defense Army's plan was to rest for one night and continue the journey tomorrow morning.

After all, this was their base camp.

In the afternoon.

Border Defense Army main command tent.

Ying Ying Zi Ye stood in the central position.

Quietly looking at a map of Great Qin hanging on the wall.

Wanting to see which route to take to the Nanyue territory was the closest.

At this time.

A soldier's report came from outside.

"Your Highness, the Grand General and Deputy General Han request an audience."

"Let them in."

Ying Ying Zi Ye took a sip of tea and spoke without raising his head.

The curtain was lifted, and Meng Tian and Han Xin walked in.

"Greetings, Crown Prince."

Meng Tian and the other saw Ying Ying Zi Ye sitting there frowning as soon as they entered.

The two did not forget to bow.

"No need for formalities."

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not look up.

His eyes were fixed on the map on the table.

Meng Tian and the other also leaned in.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about so intently?"

After getting closer, they saw a map placed on the table.

It was a miniature map of Great Qin.

"I wasn't thinking about anything, just wanting to see where the closest way to Nanyue is."

Ying Ying Zi Ye then looked up at the two.

"Why have you two come?"

"Is there something?"

Meng Tian and the other looked at each other.

"Your Highness, if we all go back, will the one hundred thousand new soldiers left here be able to defend it?"

Han Xin spoke up; he was worried about the Xiongnu attacking, and whether these one hundred thousand new soldiers could hold them off.

They didn't worry about this problem before because they were outside on the great grassland.

The Xiongnu wouldn't bypass them to attack the Great Wall.

Now that they were leaving here, if the Xiongnu attacked, what should they do?

This was also a matter that Meng Tian and the other were worried about.

Therefore, as soon as the army returned to the Border Defense Army camp, the two came over.

Otherwise, they would have to leave here tomorrow morning.

They were afraid of the Xiongnu attacking.

"Then do you two have any methods?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was stunned; he had neglected this problem.

Leaving one hundred thousand new soldiers here seemed a bit inappropriate.

Unless the Xiongnu didn't come; once they did, one hundred thousand new soldiers would be hard to defend against them.

After all, they had no combat experience.

Meng Tian and the other looked at each other; His Highness had indeed neglected this problem.

"Your Highness, does the Border Defense Army need to withdraw completely?"

"Should we leave one hundred thousand Border Defense Army soldiers here to guard?"

"This way, it will be safer here."

"As for us, we can only dispatch some new soldiers to go to Nanyue together."

"The border cannot be left without guards."

Han Xin said what was in his heart; this was the result he and Meng Tian had discussed.

After thinking of this method, they immediately came to find His Highness.

They just didn't know if His Highness would agree.

If he agreed, it would be better.

Having veterans here to guard the northern border together would be safer.

If he didn't agree, they could only think of other methods. ===== CHAPTER 971 =====
