This led to the Great Nan Dynasty losing tens of thousands of soldiers, while they themselves suffered almost no losses.

Some even say this might be a conspiracy by Cangyue Country.

Sending twenty thousand troops to aid them with such benevolence, perhaps with ulterior motives, like trying to integrate their forces into the military of the Great Nan Dynasty.

To understand the Great Nan Dynasty’s national strength, terrain, and situation, and then quietly report to Empress Dowager Wen of the Cangyue Country.

Then they could coordinate from inside and out to annex the Great Nan Dynasty.

The official analyzed many factors that were unfavorable to them, making the Seventh Prince increasingly feel that Cangyue Country had ulterior motives.

In the end, the Seventh Prince was convinced that Cangyue Country dispatching twenty thousand troops to the Great Nan Dynasty was with the intent to annex the Great Nan Dynasty.

He asked the official what should be done in the end?

The person Guo Xing sent to persuade not only told the official about these unfavorable factors but also suggested countermeasures.

Just right, the official could now show off a bit and gain a favorable impression from the Prince and the Emperor.

"Seventh Prince, it’s not that difficult. Isn’t the war with Fengling Country about to start again? You should let Cangyue Country’s twenty thousand troops take the lead. If they refuse, accuse them of cowardice and having ulterior motives, then find a reason to kill them.

If they go, winning against Fengling Country is certainly excellent. If they can’t win, it proves they are incompetent.

At that time, we’ll close the city gates, not letting them in, causing them to perish outside. First, eliminating those twenty thousand and preventing Cangyue Country from coordinating inside-outside offensives, while using them to weaken Fengling Country for us.

Secondly, when Empress Dowager Wen sees her twenty thousand troops defeated, she’ll surely resent Fengling Country, perhaps even launch an attack in anger.

And we, will be ready to reap the benefits. By then, when both sides are weakened, we can seize the opportunity to destroy both Fengling Country and Cangyue Country.

And Your Highness, you will have achieved a great merit, and the Emperor will undoubtedly greatly reward you. Perhaps, by then, the throne of the Great Nan Dynasty will be yours.

Also, Fengling Country is a small nation, and Moyan Country doesn’t dare engage in war for now. Your Highness can then unify the Six Kingdoms, becoming the first in history to do so."
