If Xiliang Country is conquered, then the unification of the Six Kingdoms will be just around the corner.

Although other countries are aware of this fact, no one dares to act, because during this time, the Great Nan Dynasty has continued to recruit troops.

Initially, one hundred thousand were recruited, and now another fifty thousand have been added.

The Great Nan Dynasty once had an army of six hundred thousand, together with these one hundred fifty thousand, making it seven hundred fifty thousand.

Meanwhile, Gao Anbang, stationed at Fengying City, has also recruited an army of thirty thousand, all of whom are former Eastern Chu Country people.

After the fall of Eastern Chu Country, Chu Yuxiao did not implement city slaughter or oppressive policies; those willing to surrender and submit were given heavy responsibilities and reinstated to their previous positions.

Those unwilling to surrender were all demoted to civilians and allowed to return to farming and weaving.

Drought caused widespread famine in Eastern Chu Country, so Chu Yuxiao sent many supplies, including potatoes and yams, resolving their famine problems.

Many beneficial policies were implemented, swiftly settling public grievances and making the people of Eastern Chu Country realize that becoming part of the Great Nan Dynasty was actually quite favorable.

Thus, the thirty thousand new recruits were willing to join the military service and determined to pledge allegiance to the Great Nan Dynasty.

Fengying City originally had fifty thousand troops, now with these thirty thousand, totaling eighty thousand troops.

Over ten thousand soldiers are stationed in Moyan Country.

This nearly hundred thousand strong army effectively contained Xiliang Country and Fengling Country, as well as the restive Moyan Country.

The war with Xiliang Country was not as smooth as anticipated; it took six months to conquer only half of Xiliang Country.

Cangyue Country is known as a brave and warlike nation, but the twenty thousand troops they sent to assist managed to help Xiliang Country win twice in five battles.

Chu Yuxiao had estimated to conquer Xiliang Country within six months, yet now, half a year has passed, and only a small part is conquered, which indeed surprised many.

If Cangyue Country’s twenty thousand troops are not eliminated, not only might Xiliang Country not be destroyed, but it could also lead other countries to unite and attack the Great Nan Dynasty.

Therefore, Cangyue Country’s twenty thousand troops in Xiliang Country must be eliminated!

Chu Yuxiao pondered in the Imperial Study for an entire morning but couldn’t come up with a response.
