When Zhang Yun announced his decision, the army was in an uproar.
Someone courageously asked Zhang Yun, "Third Young Master, are you... are you not continuing the attack on Capital City?"
The implied meaning was: Are you not carrying on the general's great cause and vying for the throne of Daliang?
Zhang Yun nodded, "The current Jibei Army only possesses three hundred thousand troops, while the Imperial Court has close to five hundred thousand troops. Do you think there is any chance of winning if we continue the onslaught on Capital City?"
The man fell silent.
"We can't win," Zhang Yun stated, "that's why we might as well go back."
Someone cautiously asked, "But after returning to Longxi County, what does Third Young Master plan to do?"
Since he has uprooted both the spies from Dawei and the Nangong family of Nanchu who were embedded in the army, naturally, he won't defect to the enemy.
