Chapter 119 Read the Calligraphy, Surprise the World, Analyze the Situation, Focus on Tongguan
King Fu stared at Gui Yunzheng for a long time.
This son clearly has the demeanor of a king in his movements. And all the people who follow him are also extraordinary people. It seems that the master of Chang'an City can use a change.
Thinking of this, King Fu winked at Su Hejing. Beforehand, the two of them had agreed that King Fu would make the beginning, and Su Hejing would take charge of the rest.
Su Hejing understood immediately, and the excitement he felt when he first saw Gui Yunzheng slowly subsided. Along the way, the two also had some conversations, and their mutual trust was slowly being established.
"Young Master, please don't let me down because of your sincerity!"
With that said, Su Hejing took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Gui Yunzheng.
When Gui Yunzheng saw this, he thought, as expected, King Fu is going to recruit a Yishi division.
"Young Master, once the war starts between the north and the south, the situation in the world will change. And, I wonder if you know that before this, the imperial court has already used troops against Xiangyang!"
This news was not expected by Gui Yunzheng. Gu Chengfeng, who knew about Prince Jing's plan, did not tell him.
Gui Yunzheng couldn't help but be surprised.
"Using troops against Xiangyang? This is a dangerous move! Not to mention that King Ping has a conspiracy and is unwilling to stay under the enemy for a long time. How can Xiangyang City be easily defeated because of its strong strength? Of course, if it is true,
It’s really hard to say if the imperial court captures Xiangyang.”
When Su Hejing heard what he said, he secretly praised that the young master must be a wise man, so he could figure it out just by throwing out a piece of news. He couldn't help but smile with relief and stroked his beard.
"Young master is right! Therefore, Xiangyang is now in a stalemate. The Northern Army is unable to disembark, and it has to divide its forces to confront the Southern Army. Not to mention being stretched, it is also a dilemma. However, I still have something to say today, and I would like to invite you, Young Master.
Let’s take a closer look together, Lord.”
Gui Yunzheng knew that such a big battle today would not be that simple, so he smiled slightly and motioned for Su Hejing to continue.
"Young Master, I guess shopkeeper Li has already informed you about the envoy sent by King Jing to the palace! To be honest, the purpose of Prince Jing's envoy is to persuade the prince to send troops out of Chang'an, via Qinling Mountains, Shangluo, and down to Gucheng
, used this to go down the river, cooperate with the Northern Army, and defeated Xiang
Yang. This plan is indeed very clever. However, the prince has only ten thousand soldiers under his command, and he does not want to help Zhou to commit cruelty, so he has politely rejected it. However, this Prince Jing's envoy has a series of plans.
I want to rush to Tongguan and tell the general guarding Tongguan to invade Chang'an!"
Having said this, Su Hejing sighed.
Gui Yunzheng knew that he had not finished speaking, but remained calm.
Then, Su Hejing continued talking to himself.
"There was no other way. The prince had no choice but to do something that was against the etiquette of a minister. He captured Prince Jing's envoy on the way. In this way, the matter was already riding a tiger. No matter how you say it, you have disobeyed the imperial court. No,
It’s what Prince Jing means.”
After he said this, everyone finally understood. Li Xin suddenly realized that it seemed that this second force originally came from Prince Fu's palace, no wonder it was so powerful.
"Yunzheng, thank you Uncle Wang!"
Gui Yunzheng was even more grateful and stood up to salute King Fu again. Now, it was clear. King Fu rejected King Jing’s request and detained his envoy. The purpose was to keep the news away.
If it leaks, it will not alert the Tongguan defenders. But the question is, who can guarantee that King Jing will not have a second line and notify Tongguan?
King Fu smiled and shook his head.
"My nephew, there is no need to be polite! Prince Jing's good plan is to force uncle and me to have no way to advance or retreat. Even if we follow his advice, we may not be able to succeed immediately if we leave Chang'an. If we don't follow his advice, then
The tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Tongguan will not make life easy for uncle!"
At this point, everything is clear.
