By the end of the battle of Changning, the days of calm had been broken, and the situation had become tense because of Xiang Zhi's army.
All three parties are paying attention.
Under Wang Kang's instruction, the allies launched a chigger attack on Xiang Zhi's army. Even if there was an agreement between the two sides, it could not be too false, which was easy for Xiang Tai to suspect.
So this is also the result of Wang Kang's communication with Xiang Zhi. There are real and fake attacks and sometimes injuries.
This makes Xiang Zhi a bit unfair, but he also knows that there is no way to do it.
It gives outsiders the feeling that Xiang Zhi's road is not smooth, and it also gives them the illusion that the enemy forces are deliberately releasing Xiang Zhi's army to annihilate them at one stroke!
Because Wang Kang's army was stationed in Changning City.
In this way, as time goes by, Xiang Zhi army is getting closer and closer to Changning!
Xiang Zhi is ready to break through
The breakthrough is only informed by the internal high-level. What they say to the city people is to stick to Changning and stay with them.
It's certainly a boost to morale.
Otherwise, in the face of the enemy's encirclement without attacking the heart, it would have collapsed.
Xiang Tai knew that the city people were sticking to it, but once he knew the truth, he would collapse.
There is no way.
I don't know when I will come back after leaving. Changning is the King City of hengguo, and Xiangtai's family wealth is here.
Of course, a lot of things can not be taken away, so it can only be simple!
There are also family members and, of course, the city's taxis, nobles and so on
There's a lot of trouble.
Today Xiang Tai came to the city wall and gave a wave of encouragement to the recruits.
Tell them that reinforcements are coming. When reinforcements arrive, they will go out of the city and fight the enemy head-on. We need everyone to be ready.
Sure enough, everyone is in high spirits when they know the news. This should be the best time for morale.
Xiang Tai looks at the recruits in front of him. This is a recent recruitment. There are nearly 30000 recruits.
Some of them are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are still quite young, and they wear obviously broad armor.
Some of them are nearly 50 years old, and they are old enough to go to war, but they are still here.
Xiang Tai knows what happens to these people.
It's true to fight the enemy, but it's only them, and the rest of the regular army will withdraw to Pingguo according to the established route.
So they're just cannon fodder
After the encouragement, Xiang Tai didn't stay much, so he went back to the palace.
Duguxin is waiting for him.
"As soon as we got the information, Xiang Zhi's army has arrived at dafeima town. According to the normal route, they will return to the vicinity of Changning tomorrow. At that time, we will break through the encirclement and divide our troops into two routes. Your family will go out from the East Gate under the cover, while we will go out from the west main gate..."
Duguxin said the plan he had agreed on in advance.
"As soon as we get out of the city, the enemy will certainly attack, and Wang Kang's intention to let Xiang Zhi come over should also be the idea of taking advantage of the situation to annihilate them all. At this time, we don't have to love war, just run away and try to let Xiang Zhi hold the enemy and create opportunities for us!"
Xiang Tai was silent.
Yes, they are also calculating Xiang Zhi!
If we want to successfully evacuate, we must have people at the back of the palace to hold down the main force of the enemy. This is the safest way.
Those recruits alone are not enough. Xiang Zhi and his nearly 200000 troops are the most suitable ones.
Routine, it's all routine.
If Xiang Zhi knew the details, he didn't know whether he would cry.
He thought he was smart, but in fact, he was repeatedly calculated.
"I understand."
Xiang Tai's face was expressionless.
He proposed to calculate Xiang Zhi.
They have their own contradictions. Since they are all like this, fortunately, they are more thorough.
"There's another problem."
Xiang Tai said: "recently, our royal family secretly prepared, which aroused some people's doubt. I think we should take those nobles away when we leave..."
"No way!"
Duguxin said: "we are fleeing, not playing. Taking too many people with us is trouble."
"But tomorrow will always be exposed. They are all aristocrats of Changning City. I'm afraid there will be a big problem!"
"What can go wrong?"
Dugu Xin said coldly, "what does it have to do with us when we leave safely?"
"But then my reputation stinks."
"Is fame more important than life?"
Duguxin said: "Heng Wang, you are good at everything. You are too indecisive in the face of these human problems."
"At this time, don't think about it so much. Hurry to make arrangements and act according to the plan tomorrow!"
"All right."
Xiang Tai has no choice but to respond.
At the moment, Xiang Zhi and his army are stationed in Feima town around Changning City!At the moment, he is also making the final confession.
The main subordinates were called in.
This is his absolute confidant, and he already knows his plan to join the enemy.
"According to the plan, tomorrow we will arrive at Changning City and join the army there. According to my discussion with Wang Kang, we will have a sudden attack at that time. Wang Kang's army will take advantage of the opportunity to attack and exterminate it."
"Before that, don't show your face. In the war tomorrow, tell the soldiers under your command. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Several people answered.
"Have you really decided to join the enemy?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with an elegant face spoke. His name was Du Zhou. He was not a military general, but a civil minister. He followed the army, acted as a military adviser, gave advice, and was also Xiang Zhi's confidant.
Du Zhou opened his mouth and said, "it's different between collaborating with the enemy and defecting to the enemy. Once you do this, your reputation will spread, and duanguo will bear the brunt of it. This influence is not very good. Besides, Wang Kang only uses you, so don't trust him too much..."
"Hum!"
Xiang zhileng snorted: "he's using our king. Why isn't our king using him?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Looking at a crowd's puzzled expression, Xiang Zhi continued: "in terms of the current situation, the Chu army is losing and retreating, and the prospect is unclear. Then there must be wars everywhere, and this is the chance for Wang to rise!"
"It's only superficial to go to Wang Kang. Taking this opportunity, we can continue to develop and grow. In recent years, people's hearts have turned against each other and they have no sense of belonging to the imperial court. I, Wang, raise my arms and shout that we can accept people's hearts and expand our territory!"
Xiang Zhi said in a deep voice: "there is another important reason. The general signs show that your majesty has the intention to abolish the princes and change the counties. Why is his early support so slow? It is to consume the strength of the princes and then clean up!"
"Even if it's good, it will be eliminated sooner or later. In this war, several princes and kings died miserably and suffered heavy losses. They belong to their own kings. Isn't this an opportunity?"
Xiang Zhi said in a loud voice, "I'm not really going to Wang Kang. I'm just making use of him. I don't belong to the imperial court. I want to be independent."
"I see!"
Du Zhou was surprised and said, "we are looking for development under Wang Kang's eyes, watching them fight each other To a certain extent, you can be called emperor
"Ha ha!"
Xiang Zhi said with a laugh: "those who know me, Du Zhou also..."
PS: the third chapter is a lot of work. I hope you are satisfied.
