"The spy who infiltrated Shuangli City yesterday has returned and reported that Shuangli City has posted an imperial decree. The Emperor of Chilin has enforced conscription nationwide. Any able-bodied adult male must join the army, and those who refuse will be killed without exception."
Shuangli City is another city in the Chilin Kingdom. An Jing knows this.
But upon hearing the latter part, An Jing frowned, strongly disagreeing with the Emperor of Chilin's approach: "This will incite public resentment."
Xiao Changyi countered, "That's just as well. Their infighting will allow us to reap rewards without effort."
An Jing immediately laughed, "True enough."
…
A little over half a month later, on March 20th, Qian Taiwen finally led his troops to attack the city.
Qian Taiwen was appointed by the Emperor of Chilin as the Great General to retake the city, commanding an army of 800,000 to reclaim Jingye City.
Among these 800,000 were the 150,000 men who previously fled Jingye City.
