Chapter 588 Veteran, important minister(2/2)

"I want to go back to Yuzhou."

Prince Wu breathed heavily.

He sat down with the table and looked at the generals beside him. Each of them was the masters he brought out, but each of them seemed to have no ability to stand alone.

They are all generals who are the best in the three armies, but they are not the generals who turn the tide.

Prince Wu himself is a handsome man who can turn the tide, but he can't stop the tide.

His eyes swept over the faces of these people and then over, and finally stopped on the face of a middle-aged man.

"Huobeiting."

He called out softly.

The third-rank general Huo Beiting hurried forward and leaned over and said, "Prince, I am here."

Huo Beiting may be the one with the worst martial arts skills among all the people in this tent, but his mind is better than others. He is also one of the few Confucian generals under Prince Wu's tent.

This person first came from Wen, and was promoted to the fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War. He was appreciated by Prince Wu for writing a strategy to suppress rebellion.

It has been four years since he was transferred from the Ministry of War to his own army.

Prince Wu took a deep breath, as if there was always a lack of breath in his chest and abdomen.

He looked at Huo Beiting and said, "Come near, I have something to explain."

Huo Beiting hurried forward and leaned over and said, "Please give me instructions."

Prince Wu said: "Among all the generals, you read the most and have profound ideas. Moreover, if I remember correctly, your hometown is in Jingzhou, Pingkou County, less than 200 miles away."

"When I go back to the prince, my hometown is indeed Pingkou County."

"If I go back to Yuzhou, I will hand over all the defenses on the front line of Jingzhou to you. I will say something you need to remember."

Prince Wu explained: "It will take about five days for me to pack up my troops and rectify my military equipment. In five days, I will lead my troops to retreat at night."

"I will leave you forty thousand men. Don't remove my handsome flag. Patrol the city defense every day according to my habits."

"As long as Yang Xuanji doesn't attack, you don't take the initiative to provoke him. If Yang Xuanji comes to attack, he will not be able to break through the city if you defend the city to the death."

"You need to remember that you must not be greedy for merit. As I expected, after the Chinese New Year, if you don't accept it, Yang Xuanji has no chance to win, so he will retreat. If he retreats, it should be the alternate cover of each army and retreat slowly. You must never lead the army to pursue it, just watch him leave."

Huo Beiting immediately responded: "Subordinate to obey the order."

He looked at Prince Wu and said, "But, the prince's body..."

Everyone was worried about Prince Wu, and it seemed that he was a little weak.

This time, he returned to Yuzhou, and was struggling with a lot of trouble. An old man like him was afraid that he would be unable to deal with it.

"I said it, I'm fine."

Prince Wu looked at the others and shouted: "Except for the troops in Huobeiting, we have 20,000 troops from our army, and a total of 40,000 people guarded this place. The rest of the troops must be cleaned up within five days and follow me to return to Yuzhou."

He stood up with the table and subconsciously looked out the door again.

There seemed to be a whirlwind in the distance, and it was very fast.

He looked over carefully and the whirlwind dispersed again, and it was very fast.

"On your and my shoulders, the fate of the Great Chu Kingdom is carried... Everyone, let's go for another fight with me."

He let out a heavy breath again.

"If Yuzhou is not lost, Jingzhou is stable. If Yuzhou is lost, the Great Chu... is in danger."

After saying this, Prince Wu couldn't help coughing again. He raised his hand and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

There was blood on the sleeves.
