Chapter 93: Heartfelt Desires

Wen Xingsu's brows furrowed.

He would not offer Pei Jue any advice.

Reluctantly compromising was a last resort, but he had already made clear to Pei Jue that he would not take to the battlefield, nor would he kill a person from the Qi Country for the Beiyong Army.

He said, "Great General, you put me in a difficult position."

Pei Jue glanced at him.

"Then I'll tell you how I'm going to fight next."

Wen Xingsu was slightly surprised.

He didn't speak, and only listened as Pei Jue calmly said, "As long as Xinzhou City holds out for seven days, I will be able to break through Xiao Cheng's defenses, storm into Bingzhou, and catch him off guard."

Wen Xingsu smiled a little.

Indeed, Pei Jue was always so arrogant.

Under the current circumstances, retreating to Andu was a good strategy. Although defending Xinzhou would lead to great sacrifices, it could also buy enough time for the Qi Army until winter set in. By then, during negotiations, they would surely have the upper hand.
