Chapter 234: Let's Reform!

"To maintain the prosperity and safety of our jurisdiction, to prevent the aging of our troops, and to avoid the tragedy of fathers and sons going to battle together..."

Even if the battle was lost, it would still be an honorable defeat, and he would still be seen as a champion of the people..."

"So, you're saying we're now going to reduce the army?" Lub Su asked, somewhat dumbfounded after reading the plan. Cutting troops at this time, wasn't that a crazy idea?

"Reduce the army?" Chen Xi looked at Lub Su with disdain. "Which of your eyes saw me say anything about cutting troops?"

"Both my left eye and my right eye saw it!" Lub Su glanced at Chen Xi, completely unconcerned about his provocative behavior.
