General Yang frowned when he heard Prime Minister Yang's words.
General Jin is Prime Minister Yang's disciples. To be honest, when his brother took that
disciple, he didn't know that this disciple was so talented and managed to grow up to bee a general.
And another problem for them was that...
General Jin's Family were located in Fan Yi Kingdom's Capital City. His family were originally not in the Capital City and Prime Minister Yang took him when he was going outside. But after Fan Yi Kingdom moved the capital city, his family were in the Capital City.
This would definitely be headache for them.
"And you plan to fight here?" General Yang asked again.
This time, Prime Minister Yang didn't answer quickly. Instead, he was looking at the map in front of him.
The map depicted the areas that has been conquered by Fei Yang Kingdom and the fallen kingdom. With Fan Yi Kingdom retreating and many cities lost, it could be said that Fan Yi Kingdom was at the end of the rope.
The chance to win was slim.
Besides...
"Do you think there's a chance for Fan Yi Kingdom to win?" Prime Minister Yang asked back as he pointed at the map in front of him.
Is there a chance?
General Yang didn't answer.
If this was the past when Fan Yi Kingdom was really powerful and able to contend against the powerful Qi Xi Kingdom, then his answer would be yes. But now, many powerful generals have passed away and he himself was no longer in his prime.
His younger brother, Prime Minister Yang, was also no longer that young anymore. General Gao?
He was also in the same generation as General Yang.
The youngest among the three of them was General Jin, but General Jin had only suffered devastating loss. The number of soldiers he could mand were not as many as it used to be. Even if he went to Fan Yi Kingdom to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom, it would not be very effective.
"I don't know." General Yang finally sighed.
Prime Minister Yang smiled and then said, "The answer is not possible."
"But that's..."
"I know, shouldn't be, right?" Prime Minister Yang had a bitter smile on his face.
He also didn't want to admit defeat so quickly, but he knew very well that the parison between the soldiers in Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom was definitely not
parable.
After Fei Yang Kingdom defeated Shi Long Kingdom back then, they were able to focus on Fan Yi Kingdom. The number of soldiers they have doubled from before and many soldiers from
Fan Yi Kingdom alone had already died in the previous battle.
How many more people had to die to stop this war?
Prime Minister Yang knew that Fei Yang Kingdom were famous for their strong soldiers who were able to fight several by one person. The physical strength has always been Fei Yang Kingdom's strong point.
And now that they were lacking in number...
It was no wonder that Fan Yi Kingdom had to retreat again and again in this war against Fei Yang Kingdom.
Even though the war had only started last year and it hadn't even been a full year yet, but Prime Minister Yang could see that it was only a matter of time before Fan Yi Kingdom fell to Fan Yi Kingdom.
"Are you too pessimistic?" General Yang asked, his tone somewhat hopeful.
He didn't want to lose without fighting.
Even if Fan Yi Kingdom were to lose, wouldn't it be better for them to lose in a battle rather than surrendering directly?
They wouldn't be able to keep their face if they were to surrender!
All these years, they have fought agains the Northern tribe and never gave up. Not even once they surrendered in front of those people. Even if they have to face death, they weled death instead of giving up.
But now...
His brother seemed to want them to give up.
General Yang has always listened to his brother since this brother of his was smarter than him, but he was really unwilling.
"I didn't say that you have to give up directly." Prime Minister Yang seemed to be able to guess what General Yang was thinking. "I want you to adopt a different method to fight
against them. Because we can't afford to lose so many people again."
So many people have died in the past few years. The fallen cities, the people who were killed without resistance, the soldiers who fought on the frontline...
There were so many deaths.
Facing the northern tribe alone, Prime Minister Yang had already felt exhausted and the
people in the cities were already doing all they could.
And if they lose to Fei Yang Kingdom, who would suffer the most?
It would be these people who lived here.
Whether Fei Yang Kingdom would continue to protect the border was not a question, but when and where they would set the border would be the question. If they abandoned the north
this year, how many people would suffer?
Prime Minister Yang didn't want to see this.
General Yang looked at his brother and then asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Prime Minister Yang smiled. "First, let's send a letter to General Jin..."
