Chapter 901 - 423: Turing Tuo kneels? By the King’s command!_2
At first, he sent Turing Chen to negotiate in Suo Lun, but the answer he received was that there would be no negotiation without seeing Turing Duo.
Now, it seems that everything was just an excuse. Do you really want to eliminate us, Turing Tuo?
Now, there are three plans in front of Turing Tuo.
The first plan is to take advantage of Chu Ye’s army’s instability while crossing the river and directly lead the troops north to intercept.
But he only had eighty thousand troops at his disposal, while the total number of fleeing soldiers was about two hundred thousand, of which only eighty thousand were willing to gather around Turing Tuo, showing a poor morale and fighting spirit.
Leading eighty thousand dispirited soldiers to attack Chu Ye’s two hundred thousand-strong army, the odds of winning were already slim.
Moreover, while he was fully engaged in battle with Chu Ye, if Suo Lun sent tens of thousands of cavalry, it would be dangerous.
The second plan is to take advantage of the time while Chu Ye’s army has not yet completed crossing the river, and have Turing Tuo immediately lead the army away from Southeast Province and head to the royal city!
But, having not reached an agreement with Suo Lun, what would returning to the royal city accomplish?
Moreover, Zhi Li also fled to the royal city, so is Turing Tuo planning to go back and continue colluding with him?
What’s crucial is that now he leads eighty thousand troops who lack provisions and have few battle horses. And from here to the royal city is thousands of miles away. Whether it’s Suo Lun’s army or Chu Ye’s army, they can chase from behind. They might not make it a thousand miles before these eighty thousand men are already defeated.
