When Xu Lang's entire army returned to the other side of the river, Wei Dayong, Zeng Dalong, Ni Zhongyi, Taoist Master Chuchen and others had been waiting in his tent for a long time.
"General Xu, Wei, you're late!"
It was Wei Dayong who took a step forward and bowed and apologized to Xu Lang. After all, he was somewhat embarrassed because he failed to successfully capture the western suburbs as planned. And if Xu Lang hadn't shown strong performance along the way and came to the rescue in time, he would have had to fight for two more days.
"General Wei, why are you so polite? How can everything go as planned in this world? What's more, it's a march and a battle?"
Xu Lang helped him up and smiled without any blame.
"Everyone, now that Changsha has descended, only the eldest prince is nowhere to be found. The conversation between Xu and General Ling has not yielded any results. Therefore, let me tell you what is said. Let's find out what the eldest prince is. What's wrong?"
This is Xu Lang's next topic. Although Changsha was captured and returned to Lingyue, the eldest prince disappeared without any reason. It was really strange. There was another more important clue, that is, his mother, Prince Ping's concubine, was also missing. . There must be some connection among them. I heard that the eldest son was very filial to his mother. Since Changsha was in ruins, I thought he must have other arrangements. Therefore, Xu Lang concluded that the eldest prince escaped first. But, where will they escape?
"General Xu, my subordinates think that His Highness the Crown Prince must have gone to Ezhou."
Zeng Dalong, who had just defeated the Changsha soldiers in the western suburbs with Wei Dayong, spoke first.
"What General Zeng said is very reasonable!"
Xu Lang praised, but still did not make a statement, waiting for others to speak.
"I don't think so. Although Chen Su of Ezhou is the brother-in-law of the eldest prince, because the eldest prince is the son of a concubine, the two have not had much contact with each other for many years. Under such circumstances, would they be happy if you went to join them? Da The prince is a smart man, so he should be able to predict this."
Wei Dayong raised objections.
"Well, General Wei's statement is worthy of discussion!"
Xu Lang nodded and smiled.
Wei Dayong was talking about human nature and human nature. Xu Lang had already expected this section. He also believed that the eldest prince should not be able to afford to lose this person. After all, he and Princess Mingzhu were not born from the same mother!
"I don't know how to fight. Let's talk about it. I'm wrong. Don't blame me, generals!"
At this time, Taoist Master Chuchen thought for a moment, then stood up and made a foreshadowing first.
"Senior Chuchen, you just say it's okay!"
Xu Lang quickly bowed his hands to Chuchen respectfully.
"Okay, Pindao thinks that no matter where the prince goes, he will reach Changsha. Now that the city of Changsha has been destroyed, what are the roads he can take?"
Taoist Master Chuchen was not polite and expressed his thoughts.
"Yes, yes, where can he go?!"
Wei Dayong suddenly had an epiphany and slapped his head.
"Haha, everyone, Senior Chuchen has just hit the point. What is the plan of this eldest prince? I think that if he hides in the city, he will be found by General Ling sooner or later. Xu thinks it is extremely possible. Small. For him, the current situation means that the troops in Changsha City no longer exist. It is estimated that the tens of thousands of fleeing navy troops will be captured one by one by General Ling Yue before long. Therefore, he can rely on Of course, I'm afraid there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Pingjiang and more than 10,000 people in the northern suburbs who are restrained by my soldiers. And in the northern suburbs, he can't go, the danger is too great, and even if he goes, he won't be able to get away. In this way, he There is only one way, Pingjiang!"
Xu Lang's analysis made everyone suddenly enlightened.
"Yes, General Xu, we first went to Changsha in three ways, but General Ziyu had a bad start on the way and retreated to Pingjiang. This is not good!"
Wei Da got through it with just a few words and couldn't help but become anxious.
