Chapter 1671

Liu Chengyuan answered in a low voice, "I heard it's an army of a hundred thousand."

Chen Ning said, "That's right. They have an army of a hundred thousand. Do you think three thousand people can defend against an army of a hundred thousand? Even if we defend, we won't be able to defend. "

Liu Chengyuan had been worried about this for a long time. He had racked his brains and hadn't been able to sleep well for a few days.

Of course he knew they couldn't defend, but as the commander of Yuezhou's defense, he couldn't say something so discouraging. Even if they couldn't defend, they had to defend! As the commander of the West Chu Garrison, he was paid by the ruler, so he had to be loyal. Even if he had to sacrifice his life for the country, he would die without complaint.

He had already prepared himself to defend Yuezhou to the death. If they really couldn't defend and Yuezhou City was conquered by the South Yue, then the day the city falls would be the day he dies for the country!

Of course, he couldn't say this out loud to Chen Ning.

"Sir Chen, may I ask if you've thought of a good way to defend Yuezhou City?"

Liu Chengyuan suddenly remembered that they were special envoys sent by the emperor. If the emperor only sent the two of them, then perhaps they also brought a good way to defend the city.

Chen Ning softly said, "Since we can't defend, then why defend? My plan is to have all of the defenders withdraw from the city. Also, evacuate the citizens of the city as soon as possible. Before the Nanyue army arrives, the further the better. "

Liu Chengyuan was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out.

"What, what! Sir Chen, what did you say? "He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and he couldn't help but to dig his ears.

Chen Ning glanced at him. Her voice was calm and collected, "I want you to order all the citizens to leave Yuezhou City. Of the three thousand soldiers in the city, only three hundred will be enough. The rest must leave immediately without delay!"

Only then did Liu Chengyuan confirm that he didn't hear wrong.

His face instantly turned red as he suppressed his anger, "Sir Chen, are you saying that I should abandon the city and run away?"

Chen Ning softly said, "That's right. That's what I mean."

Liu Chengyuan's anger rose and he couldn't help but yell, "Sir Chen, you are wrong! I, Liu Chengyuan, have been blessed by the emperor. When the country is in danger, it is time for me to fight for the country. How can I be a coward who runs away! This lowly official would rather die on the battlefield than be a deserter! Please forgive me for not obeying your orders! "

His every word was powerful and resonant, and his expression was even more impassioned.

Chen Ning couldn't help but to admire his courage.

The Thousand-Faced Young Master looked at Liu Chengyuan with disdain, sneering in his heart.

He only had three thousand soldiers and horses, while the enemy had a hundred thousand people. Instead of leading the army to escape, he wanted to stay here and die. If he wasn't a fool, then what was he?

Who knew that Liu Chengyuan would misunderstand the meaning of his glance. Seeing the beautiful eyes of the Thousand-Faced Prince looking at him, his heart skipped a beat. Following that, his expression became excited.

"Miss Qianqian, you agree with me, don't you? "Qian Qian, I know you knows! To be able to receive such a glance from Miss Qianqian, even if this lowly official dies on the battlefield, I will have no regrets. "

His words clearly expressed his admiration towards the Young Master of the Thousand Faced Young Master. This was because he remembered that the Nan Yue army was about to arrive and perhaps they were about to take over Yuezhou. In less than half a day, he would have to sacrifice his life for his country. Since he was going to die, why not confess his feelings before he dies?
