Gongsun Yan diligently tried to persuade her to retreat, mainly wanting her to take the remaining troops across Qin Pass, thereby strengthening the Prince's forces.
To put it nicely, it was welcoming Yue Ruyan.
Frankly, it was annexation.
But Gongsun Yan's methods were very humane.
Yue Ruyan, who had long supported the large Yuezhi Clan by herself, knew exactly what Gongsun Yan was scheming.
Yet, since her great-grandmother entrusted the Yuezhi Clan to her on her deathbed, how could she bear to see the Yuezhi Clan utterly perish?
Moreover, King Chong had greatly aided her in Longyou.
This was considered repaying King Chong.
Yue Ruyan sat down despondently and sighed, "I will heed General Gongsun's advice."
Gongsun Yan felt delighted in his heart, but outwardly maintained his composure and said, "It's good that General Yue understands."
...
Yue Ruyan and her forces had just retreated from Black Dragon Prefecture when Wanyan Xiaji's army occupied it.
