"At this point," Suo Lun paused before asserting firmly, "I am 75 percent, even 80 percent confident of winning this time!"
Suo Lun's words were filled with convincing power.
Instantly, all the unease in Gui Xingfu's heart vanished cleanly.
Since he had already placed his bets on Suo Lun, he definitely did not want to follow Suo Lun and perish together!
...
In the following days, at Suo Lun's command, all troops, all workshops, and all laborers were withdrawn from the Southeast Province back to Tianshui City.
Of course, the military force Suo Lun had originally stationed across forty-three counties in six districts of Southeast Province was not large— merely over 30,000 second-tier soldiers. However, many trading caravans had gone there, desperately purchasing iron materials, food, and so on from Southeast Province!
Thus, when the retreat order was issued, countless carriages and soldiers began withdrawing from the districts of Southeast Province every day!
