Chapter 613 Marine General
According to the old King of Chu, when it comes to the battle between Chu, Wang Shuang is the best in the world. Of course, this statement has an exaggeration, but it is not difficult to see from it that Wang Shuang is definitely a bit talented!
At least, he could make the old King of Chu have such a high evaluation of him.
After hearing this, Concubine Yu felt a little more at ease, but Guo She also showed a look of wanting to speak but stopping.
Seeing this, the Eighth Prince frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Guo, what do you want to say, but it's okay to say it. Don't hide it. I hate this."
"Yes." Guo She first bent down and gave a bow, then moved the corner of her mouth, and said with some concern: "Master, although Wang Shuang is a good general, the lessons from the past are vivid in his mind. If something like Wencheng happens again, what will happen then? The Master will have to consider this."
Hearing this, before the Eighth Prince said anything, Yufei had already widened her beautiful eyes and said nervously: "Yes, King, you can't be careless this time. Is this person Wang Shuang reliable?"
"Hiss..." The Eighth Prince also took a breath, then frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "Wang Shuang is a man who is always by the Yangtze River and holds an important position in the Navy. He does not participate in the Chu government affairs. He is a complete centrist. Now the Chu monarch is already the king. With the king's orders, I think Wang Shuang should obey the orders."
What he said was ambiguous and could not confirm Wang Shuang's loyalty at all. When Yufei heard this, she couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Oh, when is it now? Can you be sure?"
"This..." The Eighth Prince hesitated. He had no intention of being angry about Concubine Yu's attitude.
At this time, Guo She said, "Since that's the case, the king and the empress have a plan."
"Oh?" the Eighth Prince asked quickly, "Please tell me, Lord Guo."
Guo She said: "Since the king cannot determine Wang Shuang's loyalty, the weak ministers think that they should send a trusted minister to the Navy camp, but this time, the military power cannot be confiscated, but the military will be supervised."
"Military Supervisor?" The Eighth Prince raised his eyebrows first, then nodded slowly, and said, "Yeah, it's a good idea. According to Lord Guo's opinion, who should I send to?"
"Oh, King!" Before Guo She could speak, Yufei had already given the Eighth Prince a glance and then said, "Isn't Lord Guo right in front of him? Is there anyone more suitable than him?"
"Ah, yes, yes, I'm really a little confused." The Eighth Prince slapped his forehead and looked at Guo She and said, "Mr. Guo, you will take charge of this military supervisor. You can work hard, how about it?"
"This... I obey the order! I will live up to the great trust of the king!" Guo She said with a polite manner.
Seeing that he agreed, the Eighth Prince was in a better mood. After dealing with these matters, he waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, please go down and prepare quickly. I am a little tired."
"Yes, I'm going to leave." Guo She hurriedly bowed and retreated.
The Chu State decided not to ask Qing State for help for the time being, but instead focused all its focus on the Chu Army Navy. On the one hand, it gave great hope to its naval generals Wang Shuang and the Eighth Prince, but on the other hand, for some reason, it was a little uneasy. In the end, it could only send Guo She to the Chu Army Navy camp to serve as the military supervisor. It was said that it was the military supervisor, but in fact it was worried that Wang Shuang would be the same as Wen Cheng.
However, this time, the Eighth Prince's worries were redundant. Wang Shuang was different from Wen Cheng. He was a navy general and lived on the Yangtze River all year round. He never cared about the power of Chu State, but only cared about his responsibilities as a general. Since Wang Ling was there, he would definitely do his best to block the Feng Army.
Just as Guo She set out from Chudu, on the other side, on the border of Chu, in Baishi City.
At this time, Xiao Wang, who received the order from Lu Chen, had led the Pingzhou army to Baishi and joined forces with Ai Hu. After the two armies met, Lu Chen also summoned everyone to discuss the army in the conference hall.
This time, the generals of Feng Army were not only invited to the army, but also to the Chu generals such as Chu Prince and Wen Cheng.
In the hall, Lu Chen was naturally in the main position, while Prince Chu was at his hands, and then divided the left and right below, and the generals of Feng and Chu army were the two generals.
After looking around for a week, Lu Chen said straight to the point: "The things we are discussing today are undoubtedly to help Youlin recover Chu. Next, we will inevitably be blocked by the Eighth Prince. As for how to use troops, my king means that Youlin led General Wencheng's troops to attack from the front, and I will lead our Feng army to cross the Yangtze River from the Sanjiangkou."
As soon as he finished speaking, the generals below began to whisper. Prince Chu subconsciously looked at Wencheng. Seeing this, the latter immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Although what Your Highness Feng King said is reasonable, our troops only have more than 200,000 troops. If you attack from the front and encounter the main force of the Eighth Prince, you may be in danger!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "General Wencheng is worried too much. I am here to help Youlin. If your troops encounter the main enemy troops, I will naturally not sit idly by and will definitely rush to help as soon as possible!"
At this time, Prince Chu said in a little embarrassed manner: "Uncle, in the opinion of my nephew, it is more appropriate for you and me to walk together."
"Hey?" Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Youlin, although my Feng Army entered Chu this time to support you, you still have to make plans for restoring the orthodox of Chu. Can you understand what I mean?"
When he said this, Prince Chu had no choice but to reply: "This... I understand."
"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded and said in an unquestionable tone: "Since that's the case, then let's settle it. The troops will be launched in three days!"
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the Feng Army generals clasped their fists and said, "I will follow the king's orders--"
After everyone looked at each other, they all hugged Lu Chen helplessly and agreed.
Feng Jun is brave and good at fighting. With such a powerful army, Prince Chu certainly wants to follow Lu Chen to get a bargain, but Lu Chen's attitude is already very clear. The two armies must march separately!
After the discussion, the Prince of Chu and the Chu army generals took their leave, and only Feng Jun and other generals were left on the field.
At this time, Xiao Wang stood up and said, "King, the Chu Navy should not be underestimated. Our infantry is not good at water warfare, but we also do not have naval warships at all. These must be built temporarily."
"This is indeed a problem." Lu Chen pondered: "However, if you want to enter the heartland of Chu, the Yangtze River, you will have to pass sooner or later."
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Man again and asked, "Have you found out the news about Tang Man, the Chu Navy General?"
