From Traitor's Daughter to Heroine Chapter 229

He Heng's division of troops caused great trouble to King Eleanor. He had already lost troops once, and in order to prevent rebellions in other places, he could not withdraw too many troops from the counties.

As a result, King Eleanor, who had only 50,000 troops including 20,000 elite troops and 30,000 miscellaneous troops, was in a helpless situation.

He wanted to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible, fearing that the rebellion would form a chain reaction and lead to rebellion in other counties as well. His hope was to have a decisive battle with the Xia State. If he could not win, he would at least drive the Xia army out of Eleanor State and slowly deal with the rebellious areas.

However, the move of the Xia Kingdom to divide its troops into several routes made him at a loss as to how to respond for a while. The safest way was to occupy the core cities, advance slowly one by one, suppress the rebellion, and slowly eliminate the impact of the rebellion.

However, there are also some concerns that the longer it drags on, the harder it will be to eliminate the impact of the uprising, and secondly, there is a fear of linking up with other rebellions and causing wider impacts.
