Speaking of this, the Emperor of Xu Country revealed a cold smirk.
"Bluffing and exaggerating the scale of military troops is a common tactic used by countries in these chaotic years."
He himself had used it many times.
Therefore, he judged others by himself.
When Chu State claimed to have deployed ten million soldiers and three hundred Inborns, the Emperor of Xu Country simply didn't believe it.
Cutting that number in half would be more like it.
No, it should be halved and then halved again to be reasonable.
"The Emperor of Xu is right, the Chu thieves are just bluffing,"
agreed the Emperor of Tang Kingdom, nodding earnestly before scoffing, "You and I just had a great war for a year, last year in the Great War, my Great Tang deployed over three million soldiers, and you three nations together nearly had five million. The momentum was indeed grand.
But after a year of wartime exhaustion, our treasuries have already been drained."
