"General Jing, there's no need to say more. Perhaps what you said makes sense, but Wu Da has always been a close confidant of the king and the prime minister. If he wanted to betray me, he would have done so long ago, and I would have been dealt with by Qian Yeming long ago. Why would he wait until now to sell me out?"
When Jing En was analyzing the situation with him just now, he had already felt uncomfortable and had begun to doubt it. However, he found that some things might make sense when they were said in the same way, but when he looked at them from the other side, they were not the case.
Just like Wu Da, he always knew that he was going to rebel, but he never leaked it. If he had decided to join Qian Yeming, he would have immediately handed over the letters to Qian Yeming, and he would have been executed. But Wu Da did not do this.
Since he had never done this before and had always been working for him wholeheartedly, there was no need to turn against him at this time.
"That's why I didn't immediately capture this person and start a fight."
Jing'en's words left Qian Yeyao speechless again, and then he felt a sense of fear.
Damn it, it's a good thing you didn't touch Wu Da. If you had, I would have been screwed to death by you!
"But my sixth sense has always been quite strong. This Wu Da really doesn't look like a good person. So I beg Your Highness, Prince Li, to let us cook for ourselves. There's nothing else to do here anyway."
"You go ahead and cook, I'll eat the food Lord Wu prepares!"
Qian Yeyao rolled his eyes at Jing En, and the two fell silent. The 500,000-man army set up camp and waited for orders.
As soon as Jing En entered his tent, he immediately ordered his men to go into Xuzhou City to investigate if there was anything unusual. No matter how loyal Qian Yeyao boasted about this man, he still felt uneasy about this Wu Da!
It was almost noon, and because there was too little time to cook, and the army had heard that the Xuzhou prefect was in charge of meals, they had not made any preparations. The sudden order caused a panic, and by noon, the meal was still not cooked.
Just as the soldiers were starving, the gates of Xuzhou were quietly opened. Countless carts, pushed by the soldiers defending the city, came towards them. Before they got close, the soldiers could smell the fragrance of food.
“It smells so good!”
In the army, a soldier couldn't help but speak out his true feelings. Then the soldiers in the entire camp began to praise the delicious food.
Finally, the governor took the lead in delivering the food. When each South Vietnamese soldier received his portion, his eyes lit up. There were three dishes and a soup, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. The meat dishes were unlike the ones served in the barracks, with more vegetables than meat, more fat and less lean meat. The dishes the governor had delivered were very appetizing at first glance.
A portion of braised pork, a portion of spareribs, and a portion of fish-flavored eggplant. The portions were so large, the quantity was so abundant, and the taste was so delicious that the soldiers started drooling just by smelling them.
His Royal Highness Prince Li had to support his army, and his private property was already stretched to the limit, so they usually didn't eat well. Today's meal was the best they had eaten in the past year.
"When I returned, the food was already prepared in the kitchen. So I sent all the food here. Soldiers, please have a good meal. If there is not enough, please feel free to add more. I will share the leftovers with the beggars in the city."
"Thank you, Lord Wu." Looking at these dishes, not only the soldiers, but even Qian Yeyao thought they were excellent. This showed that Lord Wu had put a lot of thought into this matter.
