If the joint fleet retreats, it means that the King of Wu can think of destruction and establishment, and no one will stop him. This means that everything they did before has become a huge joke. The most important thing is that life may not be guaranteed.

Looking at the happy expressions of everyone, Wei Kuangguo sighed in his heart. He was too familiar with Wu Zheng and had been dealing with Wu Zheng for several years. This was definitely not a person who could easily control. He might give up some small interests, but once he touched the core interests, he would tighten like a hedgehog.

And those small benefits that were given up were not because they did not find themselves at a loss, but pretended to be missing, because in the end you will find that the small benefits you gained countless times are not as good as paying the price once.

But Wei Kuangguo could not control the situation, so he would go back to report his work soon, because his gains were not proportional to his efforts in dealing with Wu Zheng, and Holy See ordered him to report his work.

Wei Kuangguo felt a little frustrated at this time. Looking at the excited smiling faces in front of him, they seemed to have seen the compromise between victory and the King of Wu. But Wei Kuangguo was even more worried about the survival of the joint fleet!

....

Liao Zhongping was very confused.

In less than a month, he was completely confused.

Since Shaoxing Prefecture, he considered himself a loyal minister of the court.

But afterwards, he chose to be loyal to Wu Zheng, and for this reason he cut off a piece of his little finger in his left hand to deal with Zhu Cilang's suspicion of himself.

Originally, Liao Zhongping believed that it could be from beginning to end from now on.

But for no reason, because the kneeling of the King of Wu to him was encouraged and shaken.

But for this point, Liao Zhongping did not think that he had done something wrong. Even if he led his army to attack Hangzhou City this time, it would not hinder his loyalty, because his loyalty was always the court. Since the King of Wu had no intention of the throne, he would have no mistakes when he changed his favor.

But Liao Zhongping can distinguish right from wrong. He has internal power struggles and must give in to resist foreign enemies. Therefore, when the King of Wu ordered the Jiangnan prefectures to transport supplies and troops to the north this time, he chose to watch without any intention of blocking them.

Of course, Liao Zhongping also had the intention of demonstrating to the court and Mo Zhongnian. Who could treat themselves as an abandoned son?

But after the demonstration, Liao Zhongping did not intend to change his bid again, because he understood that there were not many ways he could choose!

The meaning of not much is only, or only.

For example, now, Liao Zhongping is in great pain in the face of Mo Zhongnian's secret letter.

The letter asked him to immediately block the canal shipping and lead his army to launch an attack on Shaoxing Prefecture south of Qiantang River to restrain the King of Wu from using troops in Fuzhou.

Liao Zhongping understood the truth, but when it was done, it went against his original intention.

Liao Zhongping didn't know that the Shanhaiguan War was over and that the canal shipping was blocked, so he could also do it.

But when Liao Zhongping was about to attack Shaoxing Prefecture, he obviously felt that this was a pit, a big pit!

Not to mention the insufficient troops in hand, just a few tens of thousands of people crossed the Qiantang River to launch an attack on the Shaoxing Prefecture, the foundation of the King of Wu. What is the difference between seeking death?

Although Liao Zhongping also knew that attacking Shaoxing Prefecture could indeed restrain the King of Wu from using troops to Fuzhou, most of the ten thousand troops under his command were dead soldiers raised by Mo Zhinian. Logically speaking, even if they were all dead, they should not be the one who should be heartbroken, but Mo Zhinian.

But Liao Zhongping was the chief general, and the secret letter he received did not come from the imperial cabinet or the emperor's order, but did not obsess with private messages.

In other words, if he follows the secret letter, he will become a traitor if he fails in the end.

The word "traitor" made Liao Zhongping hesitate. This was not what he wanted!

The noise outside the door has been a long time.

Liao Zhongping knew that while Mo Zhinian sent him a message, he must have informed his dead soldier.

Can't drag it on any longer.

Liao Zhongping sighed sadly. He didn't want to trigger a mutiny, nor did he want to be assassinated by a sudden death warrior at night.

Liao Zhongping felt hatred in his heart. King Wu, why don’t he accept it...my kindness!

"Come here..." Liao Zhongping gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely.

....

"good!"

Wu Zheng, who was indeed a little worried these days, slapped his mouth and shouted "Okay" when he heard the problem of Shanhaiguan's danger.

And then, there was even more happiness.

The battle report that followed made Wu Zheng smile.

According to Li Yong's suggestion, Sun Jiaji and Yongli Blood Decree led Chuzhou Guards to successfully enter Fujian and arrived at the designated location south of Fu'an. With Chen Sheng's troops who were already stationed in Dalu Mountain at this time, they formed a trend of flat south facing Fuzhou on both sides.

"Tell Chen Sheng, Sun Jiaji, I will give them the right to make decisions in the last battle. I can decide for myself and launch an attack on Fuzhou at the right time. There is no need to ask for instructions... I just need the result!"

But many times, bad news comes faster than good news.

At this time, Song An ran in quickly, "Just just received a secret report... Liao Zhongping's troops in the north of Jiangbei were in a strange movement, and they were in a state of crossing the river to attack!"

Wu Zhengwen heard this and his face gradually became calm.

Chen Mingxia said anxiously, "Prince, Shaoxing Mansion is not strong enough to deal with Liao Zhongping's large-scale attack..."

Li Yong frowned and said, "It's true that it's the wrong time... I can only set up defenses along the river, but now our army is in short supply. It's so long that it's hard to defend against such a long river bank!"

Speaking of this, Li Yong asked Song An, "Does Lord Song have information about where the enemy crossed the river?"

Song An shook his head, "The Changlin Guards in Hangzhou Prefecture have all withdrawn to Shaoxing Prefecture. Now the Changlin Guards in Hangzhou City are insufficient...!"

Wu Zheng suddenly spoke, and he sighed softly: "I was going to shine on the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch... It seems that Liao Zhongping is determined to walk one way to the dark!"

Chi Erhan, beside him, suddenly said: "I am willing to lead my troops to defeat the enemy!"

Song An said anxiously: "Now, there are only 8,000 soldiers available in Shaoxing Mansion...!"

Chi Erhan bowed to Wu Zheng and said, "I only have three thousand people!"

Wu Zheng asked, "How do you want to fight with three thousand people?"

Chi Erhan said: "Although Liao Zhongping's troops are numerous and equipped with muskets and cannons, I have never heard of him having warships... The Qiantang River is wide, and it will take at least half a day for the enemy to cross the river... Why not attack half a cross?"

Wu Zheng's eyes flashed, he glanced at the staff, and said, "It's feasible, but it's feasible... The key is that the enemy crosses the river and attacks, from east to west, on the bank of the Baili River. How do you judge the position of the enemy crossing the river?"

Song An thought, "Maybe it's not difficult... The enemy is not popular with the people in Hangzhou Prefecture, and it is difficult to supply. I'm afraid it won't be able to fight a protracted battle. Then, Liao Zhongping must want to fight quickly. Seven years ago, he served as the commander of Shaoxing Prefecture, familiar with the Qiantang River, and knows where to cross the river the fastest and most time-saving... In this way, you can determine the approximate location of the enemy crossing the river!"

Wu Zheng thought about it, "The Qiantang River is not as wide as the Yangtze River. When crossing the river to Xiaoshan, there are many river surfaces similar. It is precisely because Liao Zhongping is familiar with the terrain that it is even more difficult to determine the location. Especially when crossing the sea from the mouth of Qiantang River, the time is only half a day short of at most... Liao Zhongping can still afford it!"
