Chapter 175: Stationed outside the city, discussing provisions late at night, Fusu

"Distribute all these weapons."

Having found the weapons storehouse, Xiang Yu didn't linger; he directly ordered the soldiers to distribute all the weapons.

With superior weapons, they had enough confidence to face Wang Jian's army.

Not only was his side taking action, but Xiang Liang's side was also moving.

The moment Xiang Liang entered Taiyuan Commandery, he arranged for all his soldiers to control every entrance and exit.

All civilians were to return home and were not allowed to appear on the streets.

Otherwise, they would be executed on the spot.

As for the city-guarding soldiers, they were to be killed on sight, with no survivors.

Blood flowed through all the streets of Taiyuan Commandery.

The people inside Taiyuan Commandery prayed, hoping the current slaughter would end soon.

Under Xiang Liang's control, the entire Taiyuan Commandery was quickly brought under his command.

All entrances and exits were manned by his own people.

Even the defenses on the city gates were all his own men.

Even if Wang Jian shortened his travel time to arrive,

by the time he reached Taiyuan Commandery, he would only see the blood at the city gates. **CHAPTER 392**

At this moment, he already knew that Taiyuan Commandery had been occupied.

"Old General Wang, what should we do next?"

Fusu looked at the blood on the ground and then looked up at the Great Chu remnants hiding inside the city gates.

Although he carried the aura of a scholar, at this moment, the bloodthirst in his bones was also ignited.

He was a man of Great Qin, and even more so, an Imperial Prince of Great Qin.

How could he not be angry seeing the people of Great Qin being slaughtered before his eyes?

"Set up camp first."

Wang Jian looked up at the city gates of Taiyuan Commandery once more.

Then he arranged for people to set up camp three miles from the city gates.

He did not rush to attack.

This group of Great Chu remnants had already controlled Taiyuan Commandery, and likely all supplies were now in their hands.

Engaging these people in battle in the short term would definitely not be to their advantage.

Late at night, inside the tent.

"Where have our provisions reached?"

Wang Jian asked.

Those present in the tent, besides the few generals trusted by Wang Jian, were only Fusu.

"Old General, the provisions were originally supposed to be transported to Shang Commandery, but the battlefield has changed, so the route should have been changed halfway."

One of the generals said.

"The speed of this provision transport is somewhat slow."

One of them spoke up, and as soon as he said this, the others nearby fell into silence.

Generally, those escorting provisions were trusted men of the generals; if they weren't trusted, they couldn't handle such a critical task.

These were all veteran generals who had seen many battles.

Naturally, they could detect the speed of the provision transport.

"Are you saying that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes?"

Wang Jian's face darkened.

Although he hadn't been on a campaign for a long time, he could also detect the problems within this.

The only one present who couldn't detect a problem was likely Fusu.

But Fusu didn't speak; he just listened quietly to the discussion of the several generals.

"We must send people to meet this batch of provisions, otherwise, there might be further changes."

One of the generals said with a cold face.

If there was a problem with the provisions, they wouldn't need to fight this group of Great Chu remnants.

They would have already collapsed from within.

"Who will go?"

After hesitating for a while, Wang Jian spoke slowly.

The person behind the scenes was able to play tricks with the provisions.

They must have a scheme, means, and status.

If the person sent didn't have enough status, they wouldn't be able to suppress the person behind the scenes.

Even if they could transport this batch of provisions quickly, it would likely be a great deal of trouble.

"General, I..."

"I will go."

Before the words of one of the generals could finish, Fusu spoke up.

Then Fusu's gaze fixed tightly on Wang Jian, and he continued.

"Old General Wang should also know that the status of someone who can move against this batch of provisions is definitely not low."

"The only ones present who can suppress the person behind the scenes, besides me, are likely you."

"And as the commander-in-chief leading the army, you cannot easily leave here."

"This task is most secure if handed to me."

Fusu's gaze was calm, without any fluctuation.

Wang Jian's gaze also turned to this Imperial Prince.

"Young Master, let someone else handle this matter."

"Outside, I must protect your safety."

Wang Jian refused.

He knew better than anyone how many fierce tigers and wild beasts would be around once Fusu left Xianyang City.

These people were eager to end Fusu's life at the first opportunity.

With Fusu by his side, those people might still have to consider his presence.

Once Fusu left his side, they would likely strike at Fusu immediately.

Wang Jian even suspected that this might be the very plan of the person behind the scenes.

To have Fusu go handle the provision issue, and then strike at Fusu.

"Old General Wang, I came here with you to eradicate the Great Chu remnants to temper myself."

"If I stay by your side the whole time, I'm afraid it won't have any effect."

Fusu waved his hand, directly refusing Wang Jian.

His words caused Wang Jian to fall into a brief silence.

"Young Master, you should also know that once you leave, you will likely face all kinds of assassinations."

"There are countless people who want your life."

Wang Jian's words could be described as very blunt.

If it were not Fusu but Huhai standing before Wang Jian,

Huhai would likely have truly followed Wang Jian's arrangements.

"My mind is made up."

"Let me handle this matter."

"Where are the provisions now?"

Fusu's gaze turned to the general from before.

The general felt Fusu's firm gaze and hesitated for a moment.

He didn't know whether he should tell the Young Master the location of the provisions.

He looked hesitantly at Wang Jian, who looked heavily at Fusu.

Afterward, he sighed lightly.

"Since the Young Master insists, then tell him."

"The location of Qi River."

Seeing that the Old General had agreed, the general told him the location of the provisions without hesitation.

"Who is currently responsible for escorting the provisions?"

"It should be the Provision Officer Wang."

These generals were very clear about the official escorting the provisions.

Fusu pondered in his mind and soon thought of who this Provision Officer Wang was.

"I understand. I will set out tomorrow and head immediately to the location of Qi River."

Fusu nodded and intended to leave the tent.

Before leaving, he stopped his steps and turned to look at Wang Jian.

"When a general is away from home, the Old General need not treat me as an Imperial Prince."

After saying this, he pulled open the tent and walked out. **CHAPTER 393**
