Seeing the eldest prince's army gradually retreating, Zhu Yunfei curled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a trace of contempt.
"General, they want to take advantage of Yiling, huh, what a beautiful idea!"
The guards on the side observed the words and made sarcastic remarks.
"Well, I don't want to make the same mistake as my elder brother! He died to repay his kindness, but I want to protect our soldiers and civilians in Yiling. Even if I am scolded by others, I can't care less today."
Zhu Yunfei put away his contempt and showed a trace of worry.
Now, King Ping has been kidnapped by Taoist Xingyue, and his life and death are unknown. Jingmen, Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Changsha have all fallen into the hands of King Fu and King Ying. It is obvious that Prince Ping's palace has exhausted its power. With the small area of Yiling, Wuling County and Ezhou, there is not much possibility of a comeback. Moreover, heading east, Ling Yue in the south of the Yangtze River had already made arrangements, but his plan failed. Moving north, the Central Plains was in panic, and the imperial army was retreating steadily. How many of the British king's troops could match it? In other words, even if Chen Su of Ezhou voted for the imperial court, he might not get a good deal!
Therefore, it is a temporary solution to stick to Yiling and watch the changes. As for the eldest prince, I'm sorry, I really can't serve this master anymore.
"What the general said is absolutely true. At this critical moment, guarding Yiling is actually the best strategy!"
The personal guards immediately agreed.
"Well, the order goes down. There is a curfew in the city tonight. The night patrol sergeants will be in groups of ten, with half a stick of incense as a round, to prevent the enemy from sneaking in at night to do evil. Everywhere in the city, the lights must be kept on, and patrols must be continuous. !”
Then, Zhu Yunfei solemnly gave the order.
Although he was newly appointed as the lord of Yiling, he had always been quite popular among the soldiers. Today, he was under great pressure to refuse the eldest prince outside the city. Fortunately, generals at all levels are well aware of the truth here and know that King Ping is gone and Yiling is just a lone army. No matter how hard it is to make a difference, it is better to choose the Ming Dynasty and join him someday. Therefore, no one had any objections to Zhu Yunfei's decision.
Zhu Yunfei also knew how to fight, and he had learned lessons from the previous incident when Master Xingyue abducted King Ping. This arrangement was to prevent the eldest prince from trying to cause trouble at night.
"promise!"
The guards quickly took the order and left.
Zhu Yunfei once again looked in the direction where the Prince's army was retreating, turned around and walked down the city in silence.
As he walked, he thought to himself.
What did King Ping say to his sworn brother Lei Hu that day?
With his sworn brother's usual style, there was no reason to go to see Prince Ping alone. Moreover, after all, Yiling is always under the rule of Prince Ping's Mansion. As the master, Prince Ping can enter the General's Mansion openly and openly, so why does it have to be so mysterious?
It seemed that something must have happened between them. It seems that King Ping was also wary of his sworn brother at that time. However, as the mantis stalks the cicada, no one expected that Taoist Master Xingyue would suddenly appear, disrupting everyone's plans. In this way, everything naturally became a mystery.
In fact, after Lei Hu's death, Zhu Yunfei asked his guard camp and the sergeants on the scene several times, but no one knew the details. He only said that General Lei looked different that day and seemed a little worried because he did not want his subordinates to accompany him. Therefore, no one actually knows what is hidden in this.
But for Zhu Yunfei, it is useless to overthink things that he cannot understand. The current plan is to make good friends with the great chieftain of Miao territory, guard Yiling City, and not arbitrarily follow him. Wait until the general trend of the world becomes clear before making a choice. Only then can he be worthy of the people in the city and the soldiers who have entrusted their lives and fortunes to him.
"General, general, I have military information to report!"
At this time, Dan heard shouting, and a sergeant was chasing after him in a hurry.
