Bab 602: Chapter 354 Does the Prince Have a Hostage Candidate in Mind?_2

At this time, the Martial Emperor, his face dark with anger, stared at Chai Jiliang and demanded, "So, Chai, in your opinion, why has North Country not continued its advance southward?"

Chai Jiliang replied indifferently:

"The reason North Country has not continued south is that their strength is not yet sufficient to eliminate a dynasty. If North Country were to continue southward, it would inevitably make other dynasties even more wary of its existence. Eventually, several great dynasties might join forces to deal with North Country. Therefore, I believe that even if North Prince truly has ambitions to swallow the land, he would not actually attack Great Wu at this time."

"North Prince dispatched troops to occupy Youping County mainly to deter the major dynasties and demonstrate to them that North Country already possesses the power to dominate."

"In my view, if North Prince wishes to seek control over the world, he must first go after the throne of Great Sum."
