"Your Majesty, General Li and General Wei are outside the city. Looking at the situation, I'm afraid, Jing, Jingmen..."
Master didn't dare to say the rest.
"Jingmen is broken?!"
Prince Ping felt a little panicked and stood up.
"Yes, it should be."
The master had no choice but to respond.
In fact, it is not difficult to infer that whether it is from the number of people or the momentum, this team brought by Li Ziliang and Wei Dayong looks like it is defeated.
"Hey, when they enter the city, bring them here, and I will ask them more about it!"
King Ping sat down slumped, at a loss for what to do.
"promise!"
The master nodded quickly.
With the current strength of Jingzhou's troops, including these deserters, it is estimated that there are only 50,000. King Ping's own military strength is weak, and his military command ability is also lacking. Suddenly looking around, he felt that there was no one he could trust.
Could it be that God is going to kill me?
King Ping sighed secretly, feeling helpless.
After the master left, Qing Qing came over.
"Your Majesty, why are you sighing? Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Now, you still have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers under your command. If you make a comeback, what do you have to fear?"
After hearing this, Prince Ping smiled miserably and shook his head.
"Is Gucheng strong? Is Xiangyang strong? Brothers Meng Ye and Zhang Da, which one is not a hero? Even Wei Dayong of Jingmen, is he just a mediocre person?"
Obviously, King Ping's confidence has been lost. This is another heavy blow to him since the setback in Xiangyang.
"My lord, you must not lose your ambition! Not to mention that the enemy army has not broken through Jingzhou yet, even if it is broken, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops in Ezhou, Changsha and Wuling County! It is unknown whether they will come back!"
Wuming also came over to persuade.
These two brothers fled south with King Ping all the way, and were always considered by King Ping as his confidants. Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I have seen a lot and can speak some words.
It is not that they are not clear about King Ping's current situation, but the two brothers were ordered by their master, Zang Hairen, to assist King Ping. As the saying goes, "It is difficult to disobey the master's order," they have already tied themselves to the same boat as King Ping. Speaking of which, these two brothers are not heartless and unjust people.
"Alas, once the trend is over, it is irreversible!"
Prince Ping still shook his head.
Although the prince is in charge of Changsha County, how can Ling Yue, the general of Ganzhou, be easy to get along with? Moreover, the two of them, in this time of crisis, don’t know if they can take her in?
As for Ezhou, his eldest daughter, Princess Mingzhu, and his eldest son-in-law, Chen Su, are guarding him. Chen Su also has the courage that no man can match. However, if Jingzhou is defeated, Ezhou will be between the Northern Army and the Southern Army, and there will be almost no danger in that area. Shou, if you have too much time to take care of yourself, how can you take care of yourself?
Thinking of this, Prince Ping felt even more discouraged.
"Let's guard for a while!"
But in the end, King Ping made his own choice.
"If you really can't hold on, go to Wuling County!"
This Wuling County is actually a place that Prince Ping doesn't want to go to.
That year, when the states and counties under his jurisdiction went to Xiangyang to pay tribute, his second daughter, Princess Huining, fell in love at first sight with Xuan Bao, the son of General Xuanzan of Wuling County, and even ate the forbidden fruit. Later, Princess Huining's belly grew bigger and she couldn't hide it, so she had to tell the princess the truth. This made Prince Ping furious. With the dignity of a princess, how could such a scandal happen to him?
Of course, it was not that he looked down upon Xuan Bao. Xuan Bao was versatile in both civil and military affairs and was a charming person. If this had not happened and the marriage proposal had been carried out according to normal rules, he would have agreed to it no matter what. However, doing this made him feel uncomfortable.
This incident made Prince Ping angry for many days. When Princess Huining saw her father's attitude, she became angry and secretly ran away to Wuling County.
For the sake of maintaining stability, King Ping finally swallowed his breath. After all, Xuanzan has been in Wuling County for many years, and the people in the territory respect him, so it is not easy to attack him.
