Chapter 388

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

"General Wang, what should we do next?"

Fusu looked at the blood on the ground, 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.

With the commoners of Great Qin being slaughtered before his eyes, how could he not be angry?

"Set up camp first."

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

Then he arranged for men to set up camp three miles from the city gate.

He did not rush to attack.

This group of Great Chu remnants had already controlled Taiyuan Commandery, and likely had all supplies under their control.

Engaging in battle with this group in the short term would definitely not be to his advantage.

Late at night, inside the tent.

"Where has our provision supply reached?"

Wang Jian asked.

Those who could appear in this tent, besides the few generals deeply trusted by Wang Jian, were only Fusu.

"Old General, the provisions were originally supposed to be transported to Shang Commandery, but the battlefield situation has changed, so the provisions should also change their route halfway."

One of the generals said.

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

One of them spoke up, and as soon as these words were out, the few people beside him immediately fell into silence.

Generally, those escorting provisions were all trusted men of the generals; if they were not trusted, they could not handle such a critical task.

These few were all veteran warriors who had been through 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 turned gloomy.

Although he had not been on a campaign for a long time, he could also detect the problems within this.

The only one present who could not detect a problem was likely Fusu alone.

But Fusu did not speak, instead listening quietly to the discussion of the several generals.

"We must send men to meet this batch of provisions, otherwise, I fear there will be complications."

One of the generals said with a cold face.

If a problem arose with the provisions, I fear they would not need to fight this group of Great Chu remnants.

They would have problems on their own side first.

"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, have the means, and have the status.

If the person sent did not have sufficient status, they would not be able to suppress the person behind the scenes.

Even if they could transport this batch of provisions quickly, I fear it would take a great deal of trouble.

"General, I..."

"I will go."

Before the words of one of the generals had fallen, Fusu spoke up.

Then Fusu's gaze stared fixedly at Wang Jian, continuing to speak.

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

"The only one present capable of suppressing the person behind the scenes, besides me, is likely you."

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

"Handing this task to me is the most secure option."

Fusu's gaze was calm, without any fluctuations.

Wang Jian's gaze also looked toward 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 Fusu once he left Xianyang City.

These people were eager to take 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, I fear they would make a move on Fusu at the first opportunity.

Wang Jian even suspected that the person behind the scenes might be planning exactly this.

Letting Fusu go to handle the provision problem, and then making a move on Fusu.

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

"If I stay by your side the whole time, I fear there will be no effect at all."

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, I fear you will face all kinds of assassinations."

"There are countless people who want your life."

Wang Jian's words could be said to be very straightforward.

If it were not Fusu standing before Wang Jian, but Hu Hai.

I fear Hu Hai might really listen to Wang Jian's arrangements.

"My mind is made up."

"Let me resolve this matter."

"Where is the location of the provisions now?"

Fusu's gaze looked toward the general from before.

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

He did not know whether to tell the Young Master the location of the provisions.

He looked toward Wang Jian with hesitation; Wang Jian looked heavily at Fusu.

Subsequently, 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 spoke the location of the provisions without hesitation.

"Who is responsible for escorting the provisions now?"

"It should be the Escort Officer Wang."

Regarding the officials escorting the provisions, these few generals were very clear.

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

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

Fusu nodded and intended to leave the camp.

Before leaving, he stopped his footsteps again, then turned to look at Wang Jian.

"When a general is in the field, the Old General need not treat me as an Imperial Prince."

After speaking, he pulled open the tent and walked out.
