Chapter 223 Going to Jiangxin
The next day, Zhang Da, dressed in armor, led Taoist Master Xingyue and several masters from the palace, drove a small boat to the center of the river according to the time stated in Ninghou's book yesterday.
In the middle of the river, as it gradually enters the dry season, an island reef that was already protruding out of the water is now more majestic and can accommodate a hundred or ten people.
At that time, Song Zhe had already brought several guards to wait on the reef and temporarily set up a table. Their boat was tied to a sharp rock and swayed slightly with the current.
After several battles, the generals of both sides met for the first time.
Song Zhe arched his hands and saluted Zhang Da.
"General Zhang, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time!"
"Haha, General Song, you say you admire me for a long time, but in your heart you probably hate Zhang to death!"
Zhang Da, however, was not polite at all and did not let Song Zhe step down at all.
Sure enough, this made Song Zhe a little embarrassed. The guards around him even looked angrily and put their hands on the handle of the knife.
"Haha, General Zhang is not only great at using troops, but he also refuses to spare others with his mouth!"
After Song Zhe's face turned slightly red, he returned to his normal state, smiling and saying something sarcastic.
"Each other, each other!"
Zhang Da also replied with a smile.
After the verbal sparring, the two sides began to get down to business. Song Zhe was well aware of the importance of his peace negotiation task, so he calmed down and made a pertinent analysis of the current situation of the two sides, and then divided the Guiyunzheng and Guiyunzheng armies to attack the north.
The story of Jun and Xiangyang was told in detail.
Zhang Da listened quietly, and was extremely shocked. As the prince expected, Gui Yunzheng is very ambitious! No wonder Ninghou suddenly proposed peace. It turned out that he was afraid that we would form an alliance with Gui Yunzheng.
"If what General Song said is true, I, Zhang Da, can express my opinion on behalf of my prince and agree to this peace negotiation."
Zhang Da said slowly, still thinking in his mind.
The matter is serious and we should negotiate for peace. It is to temporarily relieve the current pressure. What to do next depends on the prince's wishes. Whether to make a temporary truce with the court and reject Gui Yunzheng together, or simply comply with the court.
, whether to focus on the enemy Gui Yunzheng, or secretly make peace with Gui Yunzheng, and retreat the imperial army together, and then allow Gui Yunzheng to fight with the imperial court, the pros and cons must be carefully weighed.
He is just a warrior, a sharp sword loyal to Prince Ping. If he really wants to make a decision, everything must be based on Prince Ping's wishes.
"Haha, good, good! General Zhang is really happy! At this time, our two families will stop fighting for the time being. I will wait to meet Gui Yunzheng on the north bank. You wait to fight with him on the south bank. You will not let him get away easily! Song Mou
It is expected that if he divides his troops into two groups, his strength will inevitably weaken. Our hundreds of thousands of troops on the north bank will definitely be able to gather together and annihilate them. Your Xiangyang City also has hundreds of thousands of troops, which is enough to fight against them."
Song Zhe laughed and thought, in the current situation, it is a good choice for both sides to stop fighting and resist the powerful enemy. And when our army defeats Gui Yunzheng's army, you Xiangyang will be hurt by both sides. If King Ping
It doesn't matter if you don't agree to negotiate for peace. Anyway, you can't cross the river to attack me.
Zhang Da actually understands this truth. He came to discuss peace today just to see what the other party is doing. Since the peace proposal has been proposed, the situation is forcing it, and it is impossible not to agree to it. With Xiangyang's current strength, it is really not enough to cross the river to compete in the world.
Very true. Even if the Northern Army did not propose peace, they would not have the courage to fight. This is a fact, a very shameful fact.
"Okay, General Song, please tell your commander Ning that although soldiers are not afraid of deceit, a true man must always keep his word. I, Zhang Da, can promise that if your army cannot reach the river, our army will not attack! As for Gui Yunzheng
, in a word, don’t say we share the same hatred with the enemy, just go and seek happiness for yourself!”
Zhang Da's mouth still refused to lose even a little bit.
