"It turns out that this British king is the grandson of the first king!"
"I heard that the man who became the king back then was supposed to be the master of the world!"
"It's a pity that because of Prince Jing's scheme, the great cause has not been accomplished!"
"The King of England is the son of destiny. He is surrounded by divine light and cannot be invaded by gods or demons!"
…
Although Zhang Da repeatedly ordered the sergeants to collect the notices, many people still saw them. This notice to the people explained the King of England's origin, the King's righteousness in raising the flag and the army, the King's purpose of serving the common people, and the notice that the people were allowed to collect the bodies of the soldiers who died outside the city.
Therefore, for a time, the hearts of the people who knew about it were in a state of confusion. During this period, there were also disciples of the Beggar Clan who transformed themselves into common people, and they took the opportunity to talk about the great benefits of the King of England.
However, Zhang Da did not allow anyone to leave the city without authorization, saying that it was to prevent enemy spies from taking the opportunity to sneak into the city.
As a result, in the inner city, a crowd of people fell on their knees.
"Master Jun, please be kind and let me go out to collect my son's body!"
"Master Jun, those who died outside are all from Xiangyang!"
…
But, with the military order in front of you, which sergeant would dare to disobey it?
There was a very good-looking junior officer. Facing the people who were almost begging him, he suddenly knelt on his knees, and tears instantly fell from his face.
"Folks, please come back! The commander-in-chief has given orders, but there is nothing we can do! If enemy spies are allowed to sneak in, Xiangyang City may not be able to be saved!"
When he did this, the people were at a loss. They cried, waved their hands, and finally slowly dispersed.
Standing on the city wall, Zhang Da looked at all this and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
He had to admit that Xu Lang's move was so good that he was too passive.
But a few months ago, who would have imagined that the situation has developed like this? Gui Yunzheng, who escaped from Prince Ping's palace, what kind of magic power does the current King of England have? Can you gather such a terrifying team?
My lord, your lord, you made the wrong move after all.
Zhang Da's face was dark, but he already sighed in his heart.
"Strengthen your guard. Anyone who leaves his post without permission will be killed!"
Throwing these words aside coldly, he walked down the city holding his sword.
After a while, the sky, like his face, gradually darkened.
After Zhang Da got out of the city, he hurried to Prince Ping's Mansion.
He had sent someone to report the situation during the day to Prince Ping's Mansion. The response I got was that what King Ping meant was that you can make the decision on major military and political matters. What else did he say? Don’t trust the people you employ and ignore the people you doubt. You, General Zhang, are an old man who has been following me for many years. What should I worry about? You just go ahead and do it.
These words sounded comfortable, but in his heart, he felt that was not the case.
He has indeed followed King Ping for many years and has always been loyal. Even three brothers in his family have sacrificed their lives for King Ping. Now, the second brother Zhang Tuizhi has died in the city. However, the tone of Prince Ping's speech to the sun didn't seem to be like this.
King Ping is cautious in doing things. Although he has great trust in him, when encountering such a big event, he will definitely call him over to discuss and come up with a safe solution.
Such a response is not in line with Prince Ping's style.
Therefore, he wanted to go to Prince Ping's mansion to ask for the truth. I also want to see what Prince Ping’s plan is when faced with such a dilemma. In his opinion, Xiangyang City must be defended, but what if it cannot be defended?
Do you want to seek help from the imperial court and submit to the imperial court? Or should it be taken east or south, towards Jingzhou, Ezhou and Changsha County?
In general, if Xiangyang was lost, King Ping would not have no escape route. At least, he still has a lot of territory behind him, and he still has a chance to make a comeback.
