Chapter 222 Looking at the general situation, it is very unfavorable.
Zhang Da's words made Prince Ping fall into deep thought.
He had already heard about Gui Yunzheng's revolt and received the message, but he had been confronting the Northern Army and never thought that Gui Yunzheng would point the finger at him.
However, when the current situation is not clear, Marquis Ning proposed peace. Behind this, it seems that there are other changes. Ordinarily, if Gui Yunzheng sent troops to Shangluo to capture Jingxiang, it would really be beneficial to the court. Marquis Ning can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, what does it matter whether he talks about peace or not? And if so, under Gui Yunzheng's fierce attack, no matter how high the Xiangyang city is and no matter how deep the water of the Han River is, it will not be easy to defend. Unless, unless there are changes on Ninghou's side, unless Gui Yunzheng has another large army, which has threatened Ninghou.
When Prince Ping thought of this, he became even more worried.
If the situation has reached this point, it will be very bad. Even if the Northern Army does not come to attack, Xiangyang will definitely not be able to survive. Moreover, if Gui Yunzheng really leads the army down the river and advances by land and water, Xiangyang will be difficult to defend. Yunyang Meng Ye, Gucheng Zhang Tuizhi, these are all famous generals! If even they can't stop them, Xiangyang will be in danger.
"General Zhang, you will make arrangements for the peace talks tomorrow. I think there may be other reasons for Marquis Ning's move. If I use troops, I will leave Tongguan and attack Zhongzhou. Gui Yunzheng is a man who knows how to fight and will not be defeated. This was unexpected. Moreover, I had already heard that Tongguan had been lost, and that the general Wang Liang and others had surrendered to Guiyunzheng. Therefore, I thought that if Ninghou suddenly proposed peace, there must be a group of soldiers and horses that had threatened their flanks. .If this king’s prediction is correct, I’m afraid that Gucheng is no longer mine now, and Chanyang to the north may have been pointed by Guiyun Zheng’s army!”
Ping Wangguo is not a fool, and this analysis coincides with the current situation.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense! I will go meet Song Zhe tomorrow. I believe there will be an answer."
Zhang Da handed over his hand again, his expression even more solemn.
"Let's do this, General Zhang. Send someone to Gucheng quickly. Report any news immediately! In addition, regardless of peace talks or not, both the navy and land forces must be on strict alert in recent days. Do not leave lightly! Anyone who disobeys the order ,cut!"
King Ping solemnly made arrangements again.
The situation may be very unfavorable. He has to understand it and make some choices. Otherwise, it will be really uncomfortable to be surrounded by several sides. There is no doubt that this Jingxiang land is in danger of changing hands.
So everyone took orders and retreated.
The night gradually deepened.
Taoist Master Xingyue didn't say a word when he was in the hall. He was not a member of the military, so there was no need to mess around. But as soon as he returned to the room, he immediately called Qiu Feng and Dong Er.
"Listening to what Prince Ping said today, there have been new changes in the war. I guess it was Zheng'er who sent troops to Chang'an to disturb the war situation here. We are not here to be his lackeys in Prince Ping's palace. Therefore, brothers Feng'er and Dong, we have to be careful. Tomorrow I will go with Zhang Da to the center of the river to negotiate peace. You must wait for the opportunity to gather all the brothers together, lie down in the old place, wait for the opportunity, and then do something."
"Well, everything must be arranged by the Taoist Master."
The two of them quickly replied respectfully. Although Xingyue Dao is not what it used to be, it is still a big tree with deep roots. In the past few days, they have successively summoned many brothers and they are all hiding in Xiangyang City.
"That ruthless unknown brother, as well as the Wan family and his son, you have to be more careful and don't let them catch you!"
Taoist Master Xingyue reminded softly that Prince Ping had been busy with the war recently, and Qiu Feng had successfully returned from his mission to Prince Fu's Mansion, which made him less wary of him. However, from time to time, he could still feel that someone was watching from behind.
