In Prince Ping's Mansion, after the peace talks were completed during the day, Prince Ping breathed a small sigh of relief and then a big sigh of relief. The west wall had just been blocked up, and the east wall was about to collapse. This feeling made him uncomfortable.
Finally, he understood what Ning Hou meant and understood the current situation. Overall, it's very detrimental to him.
But after discussing with Zhang Da and others for an afternoon, we still couldn't come to a better conclusion. They were extremely worried about how to deal with the crisis that had arrived.
In fact, there were only a few choices before him.
One is to temporarily stop fighting with the Northern Army and attack Gui Yunzheng with all his strength. However, if most of Xiangyang's troops are drawn out and Gui Yunzheng is still unable to defeat him, he is also worried that Ninghou will be dishonest and suddenly attack. After all, they want more. The more soldiers there are, the wider the army will be. The second is to pretend to surrender to the imperial court in order to give Xiangyang a chance to breathe. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait will form an alliance to jointly control Guiyunzheng, but they are seeking skin from the tiger. It is still hard to predict how to deal with it later. The third is to put aside the ambition of hegemony and truly join the imperial court. In this way, they can put aside their old grudges and jointly control Guiyunzheng. This is probably what Prince Jing hopes to see the most, but he is not willing to do so. Fourth, we might as well try to negotiate peace with Gui Yunzheng and join forces with the two families. In this case, Ninghou will definitely be defeated. But, will Gui Yunzheng agree?
Therefore, after much thought, Prince Ping really couldn't make a decision.
Now, Gucheng has been captured by Gui Yunzheng. The 20,000 troops sent by Zhang Da are expected to encounter Gui Yunzheng's forward soon. He really doesn't know whether they can stop it. Yunyang Mengye and Gucheng Zhang Tuizhi, both well-known generals, were swept away by Gui Yunzheng, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Once these two lines of defense are broken, Xiangyang is really in danger!
The night gradually got darker.
Tonight, the moon is as white as day, but in Xiangyang under the curfew, you can't hear the singing of orioles, nor can you see the singing and dancing, and the lights are too weak.
"My lord, please rest early!"
Wan Feitong reminded softly, but yawned unconsciously. Since the beginning of the war in Xiangyang, he has been accompanying King Ping every day and has been extremely sleep deprived. However, Prince Ping is too worried tonight.
"Oh, Mr. Wan, do you know that I am really in a dilemma now?"
King Ping let out a long sigh, stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his hands, and looked at the full moon, but he was not interested at all.
“It’s such a good night and such a good night, I don’t know who I’ll be waiting for tomorrow!”
For a moment, his feelings were faint and his heart was ups and downs.
He couldn't help but feel some regret in his heart. He regretted that he should not have set up a trap to murder Gui Yunzheng. He regretted that he should not have acted rashly and acted disobediently. He did not know his own capabilities, so that he was in a dilemma today, and his life and death were unpredictable.
Wan Feitong could only stay silent and run around. It seemed that Prince Ping's Mansion was not a place to stay for a long time. He had some other plans in his heart.
"That's all, that's all..."
After a long time, Prince Ping sat back in front of the case again, sighing as if he had made a major decision.
I saw him spreading out the paper, picking up the pen, dipping it in ink, and swiping quickly on a piece of plain paper. It can be seen that he was really feeling a little uneasy.
"Mr. Wan, please give this letter to General Zhang as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to complete the matter as soon as possible."
After sealing it, Prince Ping handed the plain paper to Wan Feitong, and his expression suddenly relaxed.
Naturally, Wan Feitong was willing to obey the order, and he quickly bowed to take it without daring to open it, and immediately went out.
"Brother Prince Jing, you must be satisfied with this!"
After Wan Feitong left, Prince Ping felt lost while muttering to himself.
The light was still on. Prince Ping leaned on his chair and fell asleep.
