Chapter 223 Going to Jiangxin, Zhang Da Responded to the Appointment, and Song Zhe was relieved
The next day, Zhang Da was dressed in armor, took the Xingyue Dao Lord and several masters of the palace, drove a small boat, and galloped to the heart of the river according to the time mentioned in Ning Hou's book yesterday.
In the heart of the river, due to the gradual dry season, the islands and reefs that were already protruding from the water surface were even more magnificent at this time, enough to accommodate a hundred and ten people.
At that time, Song Zhe had already taken several guards to wait on the reef, and also temporarily set up a table, and their small boat was tied to a sharp reef, swaying slightly with the current.
After several battles, the main generals of the two sides met for the first time.
Song Zhe arched his hands and saluted Zhang Da.
"General Zhang, long admiration, long admiration!"
"Hehe, General Song, you say that you have been looking up for a long time, but in your heart, you are only afraid that you hate Zhang to death!"
Zhang Da was not polite at all, and did not give Song Zhe a step at all.
Sure enough, this somewhat embarrassed Song Zhe, and the guards around him were even more angry, and their hands suddenly rested on the hilt of the knife.
"Hehe, General Zhang is not only powerful in his soldiers, but he also refuses to spare people with this mouth!"
After Song Zhe's face turned a little red, he returned to normal, smiling and ironic.
"Each other, each other!"
Zhang Da also replied with a smile.
After the two verbal battles, the two sides began to get to the point. Song Zhe was well aware of the importance of his peace task, and he was also distracted, made a pertinent analysis of the current situation between the two sides, and told the story of Gui Yunzheng's two armies attacking the Northern Army and Xiangyang in 1510.
Zhang Da listened quietly, and his heart was already shocked. As expected, this Gui Yunzheng's ambition is not small! No wonder Ning Hou suddenly proposed peace, but 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 position on behalf of my prince and agree to this peace discussion."
Zhang Da said slowly, still thinking in his heart.
The matter is big, and peace should be discussed, which is to temporarily ease the current pressure, and what to do next depends on the meaning of the prince. Whether to make a temporary truce with the imperial court and reject Gui Yunzheng, or simply obey the imperial court and concentrate on the enemy Gui Yunzheng, or secretly make peace with Gui Yunzheng and retreat from the imperial army together, and then, let Gui Yunzheng and the imperial court get together, we must carefully weigh the pros and cons.
He is just a martial artist, a sword loyal to King Ping, and if he really wants to make decisions, everything has to be according to King Ping's will.
"Haha, good, good! General Zhang is really refreshing! At this time, our two families will stop fighting for the time being, we will wait to meet Gui Yunzheng on the north bank, and you will fight against him on the south bank, and he will not be allowed to go! Song expected that if he divided his troops on two routes, his troops would inevitably weaken, and hundreds of thousands of troops on the north bank of our country would definitely be able to gather and annihilate them. You also have tens of thousands of soldiers in Xiangyang City, which is enough to match it. ”
Song Zhe laughed, and said in his heart, the current situation, the two sides should strike the war and resist the strong enemy, which is a good choice. And when our army repels Gui Yunzheng's army, you Xiangyang, I'm afraid that you will be angry on both sides. If King Ping doesn't agree to negotiate peace, anyway, you can't afford to cross the river to attack me.
Zhang Da actually understands this truth, and he came to negotiate peace today just to see the other party's movements. The proposal for peace has already been proposed, and the situation is compelling, and it is not possible to allow it, and with Xiangyang's current strength, it is really not enough to cross the river and compete for the world. Even if the Northern Army did not propose peace, they did not have the courage to fight it. It's a fact, a slap in the face.
"Okay, General Song, please tell your Marshal Ning, although the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but the husband, you must always keep a letter, I Zhang Da can promise, your army is not the river, and our army will not attack!" As for Gui Yunzheng, in a word, don't say that you have the same hatred and hatred, and go and ask for more blessings! ”
Zhang Da's mouth still refused to lose a little.
Song Zhe smiled and didn't care. Xiangyang mostly has to take care of itself, and on the north bank, a little guard can be taken, and they are not afraid that they will take the opportunity to cross the river to make trouble.
