Chapter 970

Ying Ying Zi Ye tapped on the table subconsciously.

Han Xin and the other's thoughts were also understandable.

After all, the border could not be lost.

One hundred thousand new soldiers were a bit difficult to defend here.

It would be fine if the Xiongnu didn't come, but if they did, it might not be defendable.

Now Prince Modu was busy guarding the small tribes in the surroundings, so he likely wouldn't come here to run wild.

But this was just an estimate.

Who knew if Prince Modu would have a brain cramp and want to come over and take a look?

After all, when being chased around, that guy was still thinking about subduing those small tribes.

This could also be considered an ambitious hero; one could not judge him by common sense.

It was better not to take this risk.

But if one hundred thousand Border Defense Army soldiers were left here.

The returning Border Defense Army would only have about two hundred thousand, which was a bit small.

It wouldn't be very good to pull some new soldiers to make do when the time came.

They were going to Nanyue to suppress the rebellion, not to play.

Bringing too many new soldiers would have a great impact on the progress of suppressing the rebellion.

"Let the Border Defense Army withdraw completely."

"In this situation, we can only adjust the defense."

Ying Ying Zi Ye took a sip of tea.

After careful consideration, he made such a decision.

"Adjust the defense?"

"What does this adjusting the defense mean?"

"Your Highness, can you explain?"

Meng Tian and the other were a bit confused.

"Adjusting the defense means..."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was a bit tongue-tied.

"How can we use new soldiers to suppress a rebellion?"

"Adjusting the defense means transferring the new soldiers to the northern border to guard."

"Here, we only need to hold it; there is no need for war."

"Even if the Xiongnu come, seeing so many people here, they won't dare to act rashly."

"As for the Border Defense Army, transfer them all to Nanyue."

"Large-scale campaigns are not suitable for new soldiers to participate in." ===== CHAPTER 972 =====
