Chu Yuxiao took advantage of this, exceptionally promoting and employing many overlooked talents, assigning them to manage and train two new army units.

In no time, the drills of the new army were in full swing.

In the autumn of the same year, Chu Yuxiao personally picked seventy thousand troops, appointing the newly promoted Guo Xing as the main commander, Zhao Kuang and Li Nanrui as deputy commanders, and Mo Buyan as military advisor, to launch a war against Xiliang Country.

This time, everyone knew that Chu Yuxiao’s plan was to unify the Six Kingdoms.

In Cangyue Country, they were aware that if Xiliang Country was annihilated, they would be next.

And Xiliang Country understood that battling against the current Great Nan Dynasty would definitely result in heavy losses.

So, they sent a letter to Cangyue Country, hoping the two countries could unite to attack the Great Nan Dynasty.

After considerable deliberation, Cangyue Country agreed to dispatch fifty thousand troops to support Xiliang Country. When the army set off from Cangyue Country, the former Eastern Chu Country, now Fengying City, also dispatched twenty thousand troops towards Cangyue Country.

With the absence of fifty thousand troops, Cangyue Country’s strength would weaken significantly. Although these twenty thousand troops couldn’t conquer Xiliang Country, under the leadership of Gao Anbang, delivering a heavy blow to Cangyue Country was quite feasible.

Upon learning of this, the Empress Dowager Wen of Cangyue Country immediately recalled thirty thousand of the fifty thousand troops, sending only twenty thousand to ally with Xiliang Country.

Upon receiving this confirmed news, the twenty thousand troops dispatched by the Great Nan Dynasty retreated to Fengying City, continuing to camp and station.

In simple terms, if Xiliang Country moved, Fengying City would move.

If Xiliang Country didn’t move, Fengying City wouldn’t move either.

After listening to these matters sitting in the Imperial Palace of the Great Nan Dynasty Capital, Su Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

She always thought Chu Yuxiao was a great strategist, and she wasn’t wrong at all.

Some smart people think three steps ahead, but he was capable of seeing the entire board ahead.

The initial decision to attack Moyan Country first had so many reasons behind it. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

And stationing troops in the former Eastern Chu Country wasn’t just to pin down Moyan Country, but also to hold back Cangyue Country and Fengling Country.

If anyone dared to act, he would execute a two-pronged attack, catching the opponent unprepared.

If they conquered Xiliang Country, then unifying the Six Kingdoms would just be around the corner.
