At that moment, a messenger rushed in and handed over a letter from the capital.
Lieutenant Li hurriedly took the document and opened it, then frowned.
Lieutenant General Wang hurriedly asked, "Vice General Li, what is it?"
"The Regent has ordered us to retreat."
retreat? ! !
In Wang Canjiang's memory, the Great Chu army rarely retreated.
Their withdrawal was tantamount to handing Mo Han over to Bei Li.
"Where to retreat to?"
Or perhaps the regent simply wants them to step back a little.
Taking a roundabout approach first is not out of the question.
Lieutenant General Li's voice was filled with disbelief, "The Regent ordered us to retreat to Qingcheng and to avoid confronting the people of Beili as much as possible."
"What?!" General Wang couldn't help but exclaim.
Qingcheng is two hundred miles away from Mohan, so why retreat so far?
This does not mean that Mo Han was given up directly.
"Deputy General Li, should we retreat?" Lieutenant General Wang was somewhat incredulous that this was an order from the Regent.
He had also followed the Regent to the battlefield, and no matter how arduous the battle, the Regent never mentioned retreating; every time, the Regent was able to turn the tide of the war.
Lieutenant General Li pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Have all the brothers pack up, we're leaving!"
"yes!"
Although Lieutenant General Li did not understand what the Regent meant, he chose to believe the Regent.
He believed the regent was not a coward and must have other methods; he only needed to cooperate.
That night, everyone on Wei Xuebin's side got drunk and prepared to deal with the Great Chu border army the next day, but unexpectedly, the Great Chu border army set off overnight.
By the time they realized what was happening, the border troops had already retreated a considerable distance.
Wei Xuebin was momentarily stunned; the Su family army had actually retreated!
In his mind, the soldiers of the Su family army were all people who would rather die than surrender. To protect the Great Chu, they would fight to the last man and would never run away.
It was precisely because of this understanding that he didn't send anyone to keep an eye on the Great Chu army camp.
Unexpectedly, the Su family army actually escaped this time!
Wei Xuebin went from being shocked at first to bursting into laughter later.
"Hahahaha, even the Su family army has a day when they are like stray dogs, hahahaha."
Su Yunfeng, Su Wenzhou, let's see how arrogant you can be now!
Wei Xuebin waved his hand and shouted, "Chase after them!"
Unfortunately, Su's army left very decisively this time, without stopping at all, and Wei Xuebin's men never caught up.
As they pursued deeper into the heart of the Great Chu, Wei Xuebin dared not continue.
No matter what, they only have about a thousand men, and their explosives are limited. If the enemy receives reinforcements and deliberately lures them in, he might not be able to handle them.
"go back!"
Regardless, Wei Xuebin achieved a great victory this time, defeating Mo Han and returning to Bei Li to receive a reward from the King of Bei Li.
After their initial victory, the King of Beili stayed overnight in Lin Wanqing's palace, constantly praising her as Beili's lucky star.
When Lin Wanqing heard the news, she felt it was expected and wasn't particularly surprised.
This is just the beginning!
But she never expected to be proven wrong so quickly!
