Liu Yanzhen's gaze fell on his face, and he said meaningfully, "Lord Chu, I'm afraid this time will be hard on you. The Northern Barbarians are the most difficult to educate. If you can make them retreat without costing a single soldier, it would be an unparalleled merit."
"The Prince of the State is right. I will do my best," Chu Heng responded calmly, his face unchanged, deflecting Liu Yanzhen's probing with ease, leaving his true thoughts hidden.
Liu Yanzhen smiled, but his eyes were cold: "It seems Lord Chu is quite confident. I wonder what methods you have prepared?"
"Since it's the Northern Barbarians seeking peace, the initiative lies with Great Chu. All it takes is for our soldiers to intimidate them sufficiently." Chu Heng's words were simple, his face carrying a smile as he looked at Liu Yanzhen: "What do you think, Prince of the State?"
