In Changsha County, in the Crown Prince's Mansion, the eldest Crown Prince, who looked a little tired, was drinking the clear fire soup brought by the maid.
"This bastard Ganzhou guy won't let anyone stop him so early in the morning!"
The eldest prince has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. To be honest, he is a handsome man, but his foul language seems a bit indecent.
Naturally, this made the mother sitting on one side and Prince Ping's concubine frown when they heard this.
"My child, to be a true hero, you must be able to keep your composure!"
The concubine took pity on her son and comforted him politely.
Indeed, this ability to remain calm must be one of the standard features of becoming a hero. Although the concubine was of ordinary origin, she was quite knowledgeable. She knew very well that this was the biggest crisis that the eldest prince had faced since he took charge of Changsha County. This crisis is far more difficult to resolve than the relationship between the two of them and Prince Ping.
Ling Yue, the general of Ganzhou, was considered one of the few famous generals in the south of the Yangtze River. Over the years, Ben and Changsha Junqiu have had no offense. Some time ago, I had heard that Jiangnan had reached an agreement on an offensive and defensive alliance with King Ping. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiangyang City was defeated, he changed his mind at his word, completely broke his faith, and rashly launched an attack on Changsha County.
Of course, it would be a bit naive to talk to General Ling at this time. The soldier is deceitful, there are no eternal friends in this world.
"Mother, it's difficult! Although our Changsha County is located in the hinterland of Hunan and has nearly 200,000 powerful soldiers, Uncle Fuwang of Jiangnan has always been ambitious and wants to reach the 9th Five-Year Plan. His subordinates are really full of warriors and talents. . This Ganzhou Lingyue is a famous general in Jiangnan. If we, the Changsha soldiers, had not been grateful to my mother and son for many years, and were willing to fight to the death with their lives, I am afraid that the city of Changsha would have been replaced by the royal flag of Jiangnan!"
The eldest prince shook his head, but his anger gradually dissipated.
He had been fighting with Ling Yue for more than a month, and relying on his superiority in soldiers and proper command, he was still able to hold Ling Yue's army at the south and east lines of the city.
But according to the news from the scouts a few days ago, after the city of Xiangyang was destroyed, before my father could sit down in Jingzhou, he was driven away by a general named Xu Lang under the command of the King of England and disappeared without a trace. Now, a month has passed since then. Where is Xu Lang? Will he go north to Ezhou, or go south to Yuezhou to reach Changsha? By the way, this time the British king took Xiangyang and conquered Jingzhou. On the timeline, it seemed that he had a tacit understanding with Ling Yue. Does that mean that they had a major plot, which was to join forces to take Jingxiang and divide the kingdom under their father's rule? territory.
If this is the case, then the situation is really, really dangerous!
"Come here, ride your horse quickly and go north to Ezhou. Please ask General Ezhou to send troops southward!"
The eldest prince thought and quickly made arrangements.
Originally, because of their concubine status, there was no interaction between their siblings on weekdays, but as Cheng said, "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", at this point, it doesn't matter anymore. Since there is no news about the father, the land of Xiangchu can only be defended by a few of them.
To be honest, from the bottom of my heart, the eldest son is still somewhat grateful to his father. I won’t mention what happened before. Not long ago, he allocated 50,000 troops from Jingzhou to himself. For this reason, the eldest prince felt that he had to defend his land and be responsible. The legacy of our fathers must not be lost easily. Therefore, at this time, I lowered my head and begged my eldest sister and brother-in-law. It was nothing.
"My child, do you think your sister will listen to you?"
Seeing the messenger leaving in a hurry, the concubine was really not sure and asked about the eldest prince.
"Mother and concubine, my father is nowhere to be found now. In this land of Xiangchu, only my three siblings are still alive. If we don't put aside our grudges against the sun and resist the enemy together, then I really don't know where to go from now on!"
The eldest prince replied calmly, his eyes began to become distant.
