"By then, there will be no need for Wu Sangui to incite, the Guanning Army will mutiniate on their own!"

......

Everyone racked their brains but couldn't come up with a solution for a while.

It was already midnight and this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible.

Wang Yongji drank the tea in the tea bowl beside him, stood up slowly and said, "Everyone, we will start retreating early tomorrow morning, and I will personally cover the rear."

The "rear guard" mentioned by Wang Yongji means behind the main force of the Northern Army and in front of Wu Sangui.

"If Wu Sangui rebels and launches a surprise attack, how will the Governor respond? How will we support him?" asked Li Xianzhong.

"I will fight him to the bitter end, but... you cannot support me. Not only that, you must retreat to Fushun as soon as possible."

"Why?"

Wang Yongji's eyes were deep: "The purpose of retreating is to bring the main force back to Fushun safely. Wu Sangui is an indecisive and profit-seeking person. He will not attack us alone. When he attacks, it means that he has joined forces with the Jiannu."

"If you come to support us, not only will you fail to rescue me, but you will also be dragged down by them. In this case, there is no point in retreating."

Everyone looked around, not knowing what to say.

Wang Yongji continued calmly, "When the retreat order is issued, I will order Liu Zhaoji to come to support us. After arriving in Fushun, you must enter the city quickly."

Zhu Cijiong looked into Wang Yongji's eyes and asked, "What if Wu Sangui did not take action and came to the outskirts of Fushun City? What should we do then?"

"Haha!" Wang Yongji smiled faintly, "I will stay outside the city to accompany Wu Sangui and prevent... um... delay the mutiny."
