Gu Chengfeng didn't know that Taoist Master Xingyue had arrived at Prince Ping's Mansion.
According to the planned time, in about ten days, he will take action first. Moreover, regardless of success or failure, King Jing's army will suddenly approach Xiangyang City.
Therefore, these days, the group of them is very careful and does not leave the inn unless necessary. This assassination team avoided all eyes and ears and quietly lurked in Xiangyang City, waiting for that day to come.
Prince Fu's Mansion is also working hard to follow the plan. The army is continuously moving towards the border between north and south. Although there is no open battle, the dividing line has been clearly drawn and everyone is on guard. People-to-people exchanges between the two sides are also subject to strict inspections. After all, before they broke up, Jiangnan still belonged to the imperial court.
On the other side of Plum Blossom Island, Fan Zun was in vain. Only then did he realize that Gui Yunzheng had gone to the northwest, and he felt a little sad for a moment. However, he also informed Fang Sheng by the way, and his navy immediately headed north along the coast, quietly stationing in Haizhou just like they had done with the heroes of the martial arts competition last time.
However, there is news in Beidi and Xiangyang. When the imperial army marched southward with great fanfare, the middle road suddenly turned towards Nanyang. According to Fan Zun's judgment, it should be detrimental to Jingxiang. On the other side of Xiangyang, there are also deep ditches and high buildings, and they are secretly on guard. After hearing this, an envoy has been sent to Jiangnan.
"Master Fan, looking at it from this point of view, King Jing's troops are making a dangerous move, hoping to catch King Ping by surprise and control Xiangyang, heading south to the south of the Yangtze River!"
After hearing this, King Fu understood clearly.
Fan Fuzi nodded and continued his analysis.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing's plan is quite clever. However, not all of Prince Ping's subordinates are mediocre. Xiangyang City is high and strong. If we defend the city, I am afraid that Prince Jing will not be able to leave for a while. I am telling you that the envoy from Xiangyang, They must have come here to seek peace, and it was probably General Ling Yue’s actions that scared them!”
"hehe!"
King Fu twirled his beard and expressed his approval.
Wei Wu cupped his hands, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, according to Wei's opinion, when the imperial army arrives in Xiangyang, it will be the day when we issue a proclamation to challenge King Jing!"
"General Wei, you can't wait any longer!"
Fan Zun couldn't help but tease him.
"hey-hey!"
Wei Wu smiled and rubbed his hands together.
"You're right, General Wei. Fan Fuzi has already written the message, and you will be of use soon! As long as Xiangyang is not broken, we will advance by land and water, and let's see how King Jing can resist him! However, General Ling Yue's Boss, we still need to step up the recruitment of troops and guard the front line along the river!"
"promise!"
Wei Wu responded loudly.
For a time, the monarch and his ministers got along well with each other, and they were happy and harmonious.
The sound of the wind gradually became louder.
Wan Feitong and Commander Qi, who had returned all the way from the capital to Xiangyang, were still in shock after entering the palace. Chun Lei and Chun Ting were stalking each other, making them feel like thorns in their backs. Therefore, he didn't bother to go up and observe the movements around him. Unknown to him, the imperial army was already closely following behind him and was about to arrive at Xiangyang City in the near future.
Wan Feitong was even more shocked and frightened when he saw Taoist Master Xingyue and Dong Er appearing in Ping Mansion and becoming guests of Prince Ping Mansion.
Fortunately, Taoist Master Xingyue held his hand in a rare and kind manner.
"Master Wan returned home from a thousand miles away, thank you for your hard work!"
As soon as he said this, Wan Feitong felt more relaxed.
Next, he and Commander Qi respectively talked about their experiences in the Northland area, confirming the news that the imperial army was moving south.
Prince Ping didn't comment and just arranged for the two of them to rest first. To him, this information was of little value.
No matter what King Jing's plan is, holding Xiangyang City firmly is the foundation of everything.
