Guo Huaimu, who had not touched a drop of wine, suddenly realized something.
He had clearly agreed with the Eighth Prince that these 20,000 soldiers were to be borrowed for a single inspection; why had it suddenly been decided that these 20,000 soldiers would now guard Jiannan State and Lingnan State before the inspection had even started?
Of course, Guo Huaimu hoped that his Jiannan State could reclaim its own 10,000 soldiers.
In doing so, the military provisions allocated by the court would bring substantial emoluments.
But his agreement with the Eighth Prince was to return the 20,000 soldiers tonight; they couldn't just be unreturned in confusion.
If the Eighth Prince were to blame them, that would indeed be a big trouble.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Guo Huaimu quietly approached General Han and General Meng, whispering a reminder.
"Generals, wasn't it agreed that tonight we must return with these 20,000 soldiers to report back to the Eighth Prince?"
