Su Yan suddenly developed a keen interest in warfare and continued to ask excitedly:

"After capturing another city, what do you plan to do? Will you withdraw the troops or let them garrison in the two cities? If you withdraw the troops, the two cities you’ve just captured would quickly fall back into enemy hands, wouldn’t they?"

Chu Yuxiao shook his head with a smile, "Of course not withdrawing the troops."

A cold gleam flashed in his eyes as he raised the teacup and took a sip, "Tomorrow, the thirty thousand troops that I personally appointed will set off towards Moyan Country to support them."

"Wasn’t the previous fifty thousand sufficient? Why send another thirty thousand?" Su Yan asked in astonishment.

Chu Yuxiao smiled mysteriously and replied, "You will understand in due time."

The thirty thousand troops slowly marched for a month to reach Eastern Chu Country, while the front fifty thousand had already captured Moyan Country’s second city.

Then, both forces joined hands and suddenly launched an attack on Eastern Chu Country, catching them completely off guard.

Eastern Chu Country was the smallest and weakest nation, relying on yearly substantial tributes to Moyan Country to receive its protection.

This time, they did not send any troops to support Moyan Country, partly because they didn’t have the strength to oppose the Great Nan Dynasty and partly hoping for Moyan Country’s downfall, ending the annual hefty tributes.

What they didn’t anticipate was why the troops sent to attack Moyan Country would suddenly shift their focus and launch an attack on them.

Moyan Country, severely damaged, naturally wouldn’t send troops to support them, and Fengling Country, long favorable to the Great Nan Dynasty, certainly wouldn’t assist them.

In an instant, Eastern Chu Country was left with no one to help.

The Crown Prince of Eastern Chu Country personally carried a document to Cangyue Country, hoping to seek help from the equally powerful Cangyue Country as Moyan Country.

Just after leaving Eastern Chu Country’s borders, he was captured by the Great Nan Dynasty troops ambushed there and killed on the spot.

In less than a month, Eastern Chu Country was completely occupied.

When the news of victory came in from the front, Su Yan finally understood why Chu Yuxiao dispatched another thirty thousand troops.

It was not to attack Moyan Country, but to attack Eastern Chu Country.

Upon receiving the news, Chu Yuxiao was overjoyed and immediately sent a letter to Gao Anbang, ordering it to be delivered expeditiously.
