Chapter 1478 The three parties, calculate each other!
By the end of the Battle of Changning, the peaceful days were broken, and the situation became tense because of Xiang Zhi's army.
All three parties are paying attention.
Under Wang Kang's instructions, the Allied forces launched a sluggish attack on Xiang Zhi's army. Even if the two sides agreed, it should not be too fake, which easily made Xiang Tai suspicious.
So this is also the result of Wang Kang's communication with Xiang Zhi. The offensive pursuit is true and false, and sometimes there are damages.
This made Xiang Zhi feel a little unfair, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.
It gave outsiders the feeling that Xiang Zhi's journey was not going smoothly, and it also gave them the illusion that the enemy was deliberately releasing Xiang Zhi's army and annihilated it in one fell swoop!
Because Wang Kang's army is stationed in the area of Changning City.
In this way, as time passed day by day, Xiang Zhi's army was getting closer and closer to Changning's range!
Xiang Zhi is ready and is waiting to break through...
The breakout was only known by the senior management of the internal affairs. What they said to the people of the city was to stick to it and defend Changning to stay with everyone.
This certainly stimulates morale.
Otherwise, the attack tactic of the enemy's siege and not fighting would have already collapsed.
Xiang Tai knew that the people in the city were persevering, but once they knew the truth, they would inevitably collapse.
This is also impossible.
I don’t know when I will come back after leaving. Changning is the royal city of Heng Kingdom, and Xiang Tai’s family wealth foundation is here.
Of course, many things cannot be taken away, so everything can only be simple!
There are also family members, and of course the nobles in the city...
There are many troubles.
Today Xiang Tai came to the city wall to inspire the new recruits.
Tell them that reinforcements were coming, and when the reinforcements arrived, they would leave the city and fight head-on with the enemy, and ask everyone to be prepared.
As expected, everyone was in high spirits after knowing this news. This should be the best time for morale during this period.
Xiang Tai looked at the recruits in front of him. This was recruitment in recent times, with nearly 30,000 people.
Some are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and are quite young and wear obviously wide armor.
Some are nearly 50 years old and are already a little old. At this age, they are no longer suitable for going to the battlefield, but they still come.
Xiang Tai knew what happened to these people.
It is true to fight against the enemy, but they are just fighting, and the rest of the regular troops will evacuate to Pingguo according to the established route.
So they are just cannon fodder to stop the enemy...
After the motivation, Xiang Tai did not stay for a long time and returned to the palace.
Dugu Xin was waiting for him.
"Just just got the information, Xiang Zhi led his army to the area of Pegasus Town. According to the normal route, they will return to the vicinity of Changning tomorrow. When we break through, the troops will be divided into two groups. Your family will go out from the east gate under cover, and we will go from the west main gate..."
Dugu Xin talked about the plan agreed in advance.
"Once we leave the city, the enemy will inevitably launch an attack. Wang Kang intends to release Xiang Zhi over, so he should have the idea of annihilation with all the situation. At this time, we don't have to fight and escape directly, and strive to let Xiang Zhi hold the enemy down and create opportunities for us!"
Xiang Tai remained silent.
That's right, they are actually planning to Xiang Zhi!
If you want to successfully evacuate, you must have someone from the palace to hold back the main force of the enemy. This is the safest thing to do.
Those new recruits alone are not enough, and Xiang Zhi and his nearly 200,000 troops are the most suitable.
Routines are all routines.
If Xiang Zhi knew the details, he would not know if he would cry.
He thought he was smart, but in fact he was plotted against him.
"clear."
Xiang Tai had no expression on his face.
He proposed this to calculate Xiang Zhi.
They have conflicts themselves. Since they are all like this, it is fortunate to be more thorough.
“There is another problem.”
Xiang Tai said, "Recently, my royal family made a secret preparation, which aroused some people's suspicion. I think if I want to evacuate those nobles..."
"no!"
Dugu Xin said, "We are escaping, not traveling, and bringing too many people is troublesome!"
"But tomorrow will always be exposed. They are all nobles in Changning City, so there are probably big problems!"
"What can go wrong?"
Dugu Xin said coldly: "When we leave safely, what does it have to do with us?"
"But my reputation is so bad."
"Is reputation important compared to life?"
Dugu Xin said, "Your King Heng is good at everything, but you are too indecisive when facing these personal relationships!"
"At this time, don't think so much anymore. Make arrangements quickly and act according to the plan tomorrow!"
"All right."
Xiang Tai responded helplessly.
At this moment, Xiang Zhi and his army were stationed here in Pegasus Town around Changning City!
At this moment, he was also making the final explanation.
The main subordinates were summoned.
This is his absolute confidant and he already knows his plan to surrender to the enemy.
"According to the plan, we will arrive in the Changning City area tomorrow and meet with the army there. According to my discussion with Wang Kang, we will suddenly attack and Wang Kang's army will take the opportunity to attack, and the inside and outside will destroy it!"
"Don't show it before this. I'll tell my soldiers to the war tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Several people responded.
"Have you really decided to surrender?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a gentle face spoke. His name was Du Zhou, but he was not a military general, but a civil servant. He followed him to the war, acted as a military advisor, and gave advice, and was also Xiang Zhi's confidant.
Du Zhou said, "The nature of cooperating with the enemy is different from surrendering to the enemy. Once you do this, your reputation will be revealed and Duanguo will be the first to be affected. This impact is not very good. Moreover, Wang Kang is just using you, so don't trust this person too much to promise..."
"snort!"
Xiang Zhi snorted coldly and said, "He is using this king, why isn't I using him?"
"How can I explain this?"
Looking at the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Xiang Zhi continued: "From the current situation, the Great Chu army is retreating step by step, and the prospect is unclear. The next step must be war everywhere, and this is the opportunity for my king to rise!"
"It's just a superficial approach to Wang Kang. We can take advantage of this opportunity to continue to grow and grow. In recent years, people's hearts have been favored and there is no sense of belonging to the court. I raise my arms and shout that I can accept the hearts of the people and expand my territory!"
Xiang Zhi said in a deep voice: "There is another important reason. All signs show that Your Majesty is willing to abolish the princes and change the county. Why did he support so slowly in advance? It is to consume the strength of the princes and kings and then clean up!"
"Even if it is good, it will be eliminated sooner or later. In this battle, several princes and kings died tragically and suffered heavy losses. Isn't this an opportunity?"
Xiang Zhi shouted: "I am not sincerely seeking Wang Kang, but just taking advantage of him and does not belong to the court. I am trying to be independent!"
"I see!"
Du Zhou said in surprise: "We are seeking development under Wang Kang's nose, watching the two sides fight... When it reaches a certain level, you can be called emperor!"
"Ha ha!"
Xiang Zhi laughed and said, "Those who know me are Du Zhou..."
