The Seventh Prince, who lacked much wisdom, was so delighted upon hearing this that he couldn’t sleep the entire night. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He instructed the official not to disclose these words to anyone else, as he wanted to take sole credit for the achievement.

A few days later, the two nations went to war again.

As expected, the Seventh Prince commanded that the twenty thousand troops of Cangyue Country take the lead.

The general leading these twenty thousand troops was very clever; he knew that Xiliang Country would definitely no longer tolerate them.

If they refused to be at the forefront, Xiliang would find an excuse to then surround and annihilate them.

If they did take the lead, they would suffer heavy losses.

After much thought, he still didn’t realize that the Seventh Prince intended to wipe them all out.

The general believed that if they went to lead, the Seventh Prince would see the situation favorably and definitely send reinforcements to aid them.

Thus, he led his twenty thousand troops to the forefront.

Little did they know, the Great Nan Dynasty had already set up an ambush, and midway, they were surrounded on all sides, causing their formation to fall into disarray. Guo Xing adopted a strategy of dividing and conquering, splitting them into four parts, and within half a day, eliminated two-thirds of them.

Some of those left behind fought desperately to return, but unfortunately, the city gates had been closed, and they couldn’t get inside.

The people on the city wall also said they feared they were spies impersonating soldiers of the Great Nan Dynasty and refused to let them in no matter what.

The pursuers from behind caught up, while the city gate ahead remained tightly shut and unopened.

These soldiers of Cangyue Country realized this was a treacherous plot by Xiliang Country, intending to wipe them all out.

Having no other option, they fled in other directions, only to eventually be entirely wiped out by the relentlessly pursuing Great Nan Dynasty forces.

After eliminating these twenty thousand troops, those from the Great Nan Dynasty returned and celebrated joyfully throughout the night.

At the same time, following the advice of the strategist Mo Buyan, Guo Xing sent people to reveal Xiliang Country’s conspiracy to Cangyue Country.

When Empress Dowager Wen learned of this, she was so furious she wished to tear Xiliang Country into pieces.

She immediately dissolved the alliance with Xiliang Country and vowed that no matter how Xiliang Country pleaded, they would never send troops to aid them again.

When the old Emperor of Xiliang Country learned of this, he was so enraged that he fell ill for more than ten days, cursing this unfilial son.
