Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 397 Helpless Choice

Luojia had already thought about the future arrangements, but when such words fell into the ears of Chadake, they immediately aroused the general's doubts.

"Princess, isn't this a bit too inappropriate?"

"If the people along the Peacock River withdraw, it will be equivalent to completely opening up the defense line. What if the people from the Great Qin take this opportunity to cross the Peacock River? Wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountains?"

"Then do you think it's possible for us to keep them now?"

Luo Jia glanced at Chaidake with a helpless look. Faced with the current situation, even she was powerless to change the situation!

"Even if we allow those people by the Peacock River to remain stationed there, how do you think they can resist the elite troops of the Qin Dynasty with their numbers?"

"When the time comes, facing Song Yuan and his men, these people will be nothing more than cannon fodder. If we don't remove them, the only outcome will be increased casualties. The final result cannot be changed, so we must naturally try our best to avoid losses!"

"Furthermore, without the food supplies from the troops stationed along the Peacock River, how long do you think your people could have held out?"

"Rather than giving these grains away to the Qin Dynasty for nothing, it is better to use them for our own benefit."

The border town where Zhaidake and his men were stationed had long been looted by Song Yuan's men. Even those things that could not be taken away were burned to ashes with a huge fire!

Even if you eat horse meat, it can temporarily fill your stomach.

But I'm afraid these things alone won't last long!

As for the so-called pursuit, it has now become a fantasy. Being able to scare away Song Yuan and others through the Right Wise King is already a remarkable thing!

"Can't you see? These Daqin people have already taken the initiative. We can't stop them at all. And the Right Wise King, after hearing my news, will definitely focus all his attention on those tribesmen!"

"With so much fat right before his mouth, how could he care about Song Yuan and the others? Without the Right Wise King's help, how do you think we alone can stop the Qin Dynasty?"

Luo Jia's face darkened as he slowly began to analyze, "Besides, even if the Right Wise Prince agreed to cooperate and send troops to pursue Song Yuan and the others, I'm afraid I wouldn't let him do that!"

"Why?" Chaidake's pupils showed a bit of surprise, and he asked.

"Think carefully, if the Right Wise King sends troops in pursuit, how can we catch up with Song Yuan and the others? Unless we travel light, it's impossible!"

"Just like you did back then, Song Yuan can simply repeat his old tricks and completely inflict great losses on the Right Wise King. Therefore, our top priority now is not to consider how much he will pay, but rather how to drive these bandits out of the grassland!"

When Luo Jia finished speaking, her eyes were filled with worry, and she felt extremely wary of Song Yuan.

After so many fights, not only the high priest Bulma, but even Luo Jia felt a little gloomy towards Song Yuan.

At this point, I’m really scared!

Even the situation that Luojia thought was a sure win was eventually found a glimmer of hope by Song Yuan, who managed to break out of the encirclement of the army.

Now, winter is about to pass and spring is about to come.

As the leader of the entire barbarian army, Luo Jia must consider the future. After the spring, the real tough battle will be waiting for him!

At this juncture, it is really not worth it to lose your composure for the sake of Song Yuan.

Sensing the sadness in Luojia's heart, Chadake's face showed a bit of unwillingness, and he clenched his fists in front of Luojia.

As a military leader, this was the first time that Chadake experienced this feeling of powerlessness.

I know where the enemy is, but I can't do anything about it.

He even had to make concessions to the other side just to reduce possible losses. Even though he had led troops for more than ten years, he felt that such behavior was too frustrating.

"It's a disgrace that the war has come to this. Damn it, it's really damnable!"

In the end, Zhaidake stomped his feet hard and couldn't help complaining out loud.

Luo Jia, who was standing by, heard this and shook his head, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

How is his mood different from that of Zhaidake at this moment?

Even compared to Chaidake, Luojia felt a little more burdened in his heart!

If possible, he didn't want to feel so depressed.

After all, where Song Yuan is now is the hometown of all barbarians!

But for the sake of the overall situation, in order to avoid being disrupted by Song Yuan, and in order to have the capital to fight against the Qin Dynasty after the spring.

Luo Jia must put aside all personal feelings and bear the pressure of previous failures!

Thinking of the end, Luo Jia felt a little aggrieved, clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

This damn Song Yuan!

I must find a way to catch him!

This guy is so slippery!

The last time a great opportunity was right in front of me, but in the end, this guy still slipped away. I was so confident and thought I had a sure win.

Now when Luo Jia recalled those arrogant words, he felt a burning pain on his cheeks.

I even felt like I was shooting myself in the foot, and I wanted to slap myself twice!

After a moment of hesitation, Luo Jia finally shook her head and rubbed her hair.

Then he waved at Zhaidake beside him and said, "It's no use saying more now. The only thing we need to do is to gain a firm foothold. You and your men have been running all the way here, and it must be very hard. You should hurry into the city, slaughter some war horses, and fill your stomachs first!"

"Also, after you've filled their bellies, don't forget about the war horses. It would be best to send someone to take them out into the wild and find as much wild grass as possible for them to graze on!"

"But……"

Hearing Luo Jia's instructions, Chaidake couldn't help but shook his head, but in the end he didn't say a complete sentence.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally obeyed the order and left.

……

at the same time.

Outside the north city of Zhen.

A man riding a fast horse, in a panic, entered the city at night.

"General, I have something important to tell you!"

When he arrived outside the tent where General Wei was, he dismounted from his horse, knelt down and spoke, with a look of pleading for mercy on his face.

General Wei, who was already fast asleep, heard the noise and quickly turned over to see the other person's appearance, his face suddenly changed color.

"What happened?"

With just one glance, General Wei recognized that the person in front of him was clearly the personal soldier following his younger brother!

The other party's appearance here was most likely Wei Wushuang's intention. Could something have happened?

The messenger, somewhat panicked, finally explained the situation: "General, last night, those who had previously entered the border town failed to break out and suffered heavy losses!"

"Finally, a hundred people crossed the Peacock River and are now at the camp!"

"They brought in several bodies... Lieutenant General Murong, along with the prince and princess, have all died tragically. Their bodies are now being placed in the camp!"
