Chapter 976

Han Xin coughed a few times at the right moment.

Deliberately attracting everyone's attention.

"We must leave."

"Because there is a major event that needs us to do."

"This is a matter handed down by His Highness."

"And this is a matter that His Majesty nodded and approved for His Highness to be fully responsible for."

"Even after we leave, you don't need to worry too much."

"His Highness has already sent people back to deliver a letter; it is estimated that in half a month, twenty thousand soldiers will arrive to join you."

"We are returning, but there are still generals left behind to resist the Xiongnu with you."

"There is absolutely no need to worry about anything."

Han Xin said this last sentence while looking at Deputy Generals Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, and others.

It seemed he wanted them to be mentally prepared.

The new soldier generals were relieved upon hearing Han Xin's explanation.

With twenty thousand soldiers coming, plus them, that would be thirty thousand troops.

That was enough, and listening to Han Xin's meaning, there were still generals left behind to be with them.

If that were the case, then what were they afraid of?

At most, the initial period would be hard to endure.

As long as they waited for those twenty thousand soldiers to arrive, they would be completely relieved.

The new soldier generals were relieved, but Deputy General Zhao and the others exploded.

They all looked at Han Xin without blinking.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Speak clearly."

"Listening to you, you want to leave us behind?"

"Whose idea is this?"

Deputy General Qian and the others glared fiercely at Han Xin.

Although this time it was to suppress the rebellion in Nanyue.

But this was also a rare opportunity, and they didn't want to miss it.

But now it seemed something was wrong.

Han Xin smiled awkwardly: "Well, I let it slip."

"Ask Grand General Meng Tian."

"I don't know very clearly how this matter is arranged either."

Han Xin shrank his neck, his expression somewhat awkward.

Being glared at by this group of generals made him feel uncomfortable.

Those who could go were laughing, and those who stayed behind were crying.

Now the one laughing was him, and he didn't know who would be crying in a while.

But Han Xin couldn't manage it.

He himself almost couldn't go, so he had no heart to pay attention to Deputy General Qian and the others.

Deputy General Zhao and the others couldn't get an answer from Han Xin.

They looked at Grand General Meng Tian one after another, wanting to see what he had to say.

Originally they were watching the show, seeing the new soldier generals' embarrassment was quite interesting.

But now they didn't know that watching and watching, it was their turn.

"Grand General, what is this situation?"

"Are you not taking us with you?"

"Grand General, you must take us with you!"

"We are your deputy generals; you must take us with you."

"If we are there, we can protect the Grand General's safety."

"And we can coordinate the Grand General's command of the soldiers very well."

The generals were somewhat anxious, requesting to go together one after another.

They didn't want to stay behind.

"Ahem..."

Meng Tian felt embarrassed being looked at by everyone.

After all, this matter was originally His Highness asking him or Han Xin to stay behind.

But they all wanted to go to Nanyue, so he could only let his deputy generals stay behind to guard here.

This was also a matter of no choice.

The ability of these new soldier generals compared to his deputy generals was too far apart.

"Among you, at least five must stay behind to guard the border with the new soldiers."

"This is a matter of no choice; after all, the experience of the new soldiers and those generals is insufficient."

Deputy General Zhao and the others looked at each other upon hearing this.

They had more than a dozen generals, and five had to stay behind.

This number was a bit large, making them somewhat unhappy.

Wouldn't leaving two or three be enough?

Why leave so many people here?

If the Xiongnu didn't attack the border here, wouldn't they be staying behind in vain?

"Grand General, don't need to leave so many people here, right?"

"We all want to go back with you."

"Leaving so many people here likely won't be of much use; why don't we choose the most capable one to stay?"

"This method is good; why don't we recommend one person to stay?"

The generals didn't want to miss the opportunity and all wanted to go back.

As they spoke, all the generals looked at Deputy General Zhao.

Deputy General Zhao was originally also stirring up trouble, wanting only one person to stay.

But now everyone's eyes were looking at him.

How could he not know what had happened.

"You guys are going too far."

"I treat you as colleagues, and you are pitting me like this?"

"Too much, I don't agree!"

Deputy General Zhao was immediately unhappy.

This group of guys wanted him to stay alone; how could he agree?

"Among us, you are the most capable; if you don't stay, who stays?"

The generals spoke one after another.

Making Deputy General Zhao unable to argue.

Meng Tian waved his hand quickly, signaling everyone to stop.

"This matter was decided by His Highness; this general knows you all want to go together."

"But this matter cannot be changed; you draw lots."

"The five who lose stay behind."

Meng Tian could only tell a small lie.

This was a matter of no choice.

Otherwise, everyone wanted to go, what could be done?

For the sake of fairness, they could only let them draw lots.
