The deputy generals also objected.
They still have nearly twenty thousand men now; is this mountain really that easy to approach?
Even if they are not afraid of wild beasts due to their numbers, the mountain forests are not like flat roads. With the line of march unable to stay connected, it's all too easy to lose one's way, and they also can't guarantee they would be able to make it out.
Even the best local hunters have never made it across these dense forests to Mianzhou, who knows what's inside?
They would rather risk their lives to fight for a way out than take the foolish risk of traversing the forests.
So the deputy generals advised, "Prince, let's fight our way out, your subordinates are willing to lay down their lives to protect you."
The Prince of Yizhou then sighed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you generals. If we succeed, you will all surely be the primary contributors to the founding of the nation."
