Chapter 608 He still has the nerve to take credit?

"We can't win, we need to ask the court for help immediately!"

In the makeshift tent, General Wang's voice was the loudest.

"General Wang, by the time the imperial reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid Jiashui City will have already been breached." General Qin pursed his lips. When he was fighting with Yongzhao before, he was just a small soldier. At that time, he thought General Wang was afraid of death!

It’s not that soldiers cannot be afraid of death, but he really doesn’t like people like General Wang who are sycophantic, greedy for merit, reckless and afraid of death.

When there was merit, General Wang grabbed it faster than anyone else. But when a real fight broke out, a life-and-death battle, General Wang ran away faster than anyone else. Sometimes he even wondered how he became a general like this?

"So, General Qin, what you mean is that we should use these 30,000 soldiers to fight against the Prince of Xijiang's 50,000 soldiers?"

General Wang sneered, slammed the table, his eyes wide as bells. He pointed at General Qin and said, "This is a losing battle. If we fight, we'll just send those soldiers to their deaths!"

"Aren't we just waiting to die if we just stay in the city and don't leave?" General Qin pursed his lips. Being young and energetic, he was unwilling to sit here and do nothing and wait to die!

"Who said we are waiting to die? Aren't we waiting for reinforcements?" General Wang got angry when he saw General Qin's young face. His own son was not ambitious and was just a playboy in Shengjing, but what about Qin Tao in front of him?

He is about the same age as my son, and he is already a general here.

"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, and the Xijiang soldiers are attacking. What should we do?" General Qin asked.

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if water comes, we will block it." General Wang sat down on a chair and said, "If General Qin wants to fight, you can take your troops with you. I won't go anyway."

"I only have 15,000 soldiers. How can I fight against 50,000 soldiers?"

General Qin was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Prince Ling, who had been silent, and said, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do?"

General Qin's chest was heaving with anger. If he were to be with General Wang again in the future, he would have to remember this lesson, otherwise he would be tricked without even realizing it.

"Yes, what do you think, Your Highness?" General Wang looked at Prince Ling. As the Prince Ling with the highest status, General Wang looked at Prince Ling with anger in his heart. If he had not been stopped by Prince Ling's men, he might have left Jiashui City by now!

"Ahem." Prince Ling covered his lips and coughed, saying, "The prestige of the Nanyue nation cannot be challenged. How can we retreat in the face of the Xijiang troops?"

"Yes, how could we in Nanyue be afraid of the small Xijiang soldiers? They just have bird guns, right? We have better ones!" General Qin was full of ambition and was ready to make great achievements.

General Wang scoffed inwardly. They had come in such a hurry, they didn't bring much gunpowder with them. His eyes shifted, and as he listened to Prince Ling's hoarse voice, he said, "Your Highness, we want to fight you, too. But how can we fight a battle we're bound to lose?"

"How does General Wang know that we are doomed to lose when the battle hasn't even started yet?" Prince Ling's voice was hoarse and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

General Wang's heart trembled, and he subconsciously sat up straight. He said, "The enemy's strength is nearly double ours, and we have no food or fodder. How can we fight?"

…

"Princess, the prince is arguing with General Qin and General Wang."

Guo Sheng was just following a live broadcast, and soon he went to inquire about the news, saying, "Princess, your guess is correct. General Wang wants to wait for reinforcements, while General Qin advocates fighting."

"Ying Qi handled the situation quite well. When I just came here, General Wang had already been forced to hand over his military power!" After Guo Sheng finished speaking, he hurried out to continue inquiring for news!

The fact that Prince Ling is the son of the secret guard Ying Qi is now known only to the secret guards, as well as Donggui, Huaqing and Luokui, who are close to Xiao Jiuyue.

"Princess, will General Wang really hand over his military power?" Luo Kui asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue said firmly.

"But how could he be willing to hand over his military power?" Luo Kui asked like a curious baby.

"Why would he be reluctant? If he surrenders his military power, whether he wins or loses this battle, it won't have anything to do with him. When he appears before the Emperor, he can just push the blame onto the prince, and he won't be held responsible at all!"

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered as she said, "Once we return to Shengjing, the military power will naturally return to his hands. It's just temporary!"

"If we win this battle..." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and said, "Do you think General Wang will come to take credit for it?"

"How does he have the face?"

Luo Kui's eyes widened as she said in disbelief, "Princess, he's screaming the loudest right now. This is a losing battle. If we really win, how dare he try to take credit for it? His face is thicker than a toilet pit!"

"For the sake of merit and reward, what can't be done?" Xiao Jiuyue reached out and pinched Luo Kui's face, saying, "How can Luo Kui be so cute!"

Luo Kui has a cute round face with chubby cheeks. Her shocking look makes people want to pinch it!

"Too, too shameless!" Luo Kui really liked Xiao Jiuyue pinching her face. She grinned, her eyes narrowed with laughter: "But, with the princess here, he can't take away the credit!"

Xiao Jiuyue looked at her admiring gaze and couldn't help but smile. "You are quite confident in me."

"There is nothing that the princess wants to do that she cannot accomplish. Since the princess knows that General Wang will take the credit, the princess will definitely not ignore it!" Luo Kui trusted Xiao Jiuyue wholeheartedly.

Soon, Guo Sheng returned and said excitedly, "Princess, you guessed it right. After hearing what General Qin and Ying Qi said, General Wang handed over his military power and expressed his willingness to support His Majesty!"

"However, when Ying Qi said they wanted to sign a contract, General Wang's face turned black." Guo Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "I guess General Wang really wants to take credit for the victory!"

"Luckily, Princess Wang was so smart and made this contract first. Then we won't have to worry about General Wang taking the credit!" Guo Sheng said excitedly, "Princess Wang, can we really win?"

Doubt and uncertainty were also revealed in Guo Sheng's eyes. With nearly twice the number of troops, and the siege of Jiashui City, they were at a disadvantage.

Xiao Jiuyue glanced at him and said, "Everything depends on human effort."

"How is Zhao Xu?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.

Guo Sheng replied: "It's still the same, clamoring to see the prince, and saying he knows nothing when asked. However, he started to get anxious today and started eating." When he was first imprisoned, he refused to eat even rice and went on a hunger strike!

Unfortunately, no one cares about him and doesn’t care if he starves to death!

If he weren't useful, someone like the Second Prince who massacred an entire village should be chopped into pieces, not to mention starving to death!

"Well, have someone slip him a little information, saying that General Wang on our side doesn't want to go to war." Xiao Jiuyue shook the tea in his hand and said, "Daily interrogation is essential."

"By the way, remember to put the anthocyanin medicine into the food." Xiao Jiuyue reminded.

"Don't worry, Princess. I guarantee that no one will notice. He even ate two bowls of rice today!" Guo Sheng assured, patting his chest.
