Could it be that Chen Zhiyuan liked Zhu Chenyu just because he was a child?

But Zhu Chenyu has always looked down on him and didn't say she wanted to marry him?

What's more, he has a wife and a child in Hangzhou.

Qian Qiaogong, his brother-in-law, is obviously a good person.

His rebellion made Wu Zheng even more inexplicable. Qian Sule was indeed dead, but it was not Wu Zheng ordered the killing or instructed. Even if there was a slight connection, even if Qian Sule died for Wu Zheng, he would not have betrayed Wu Zheng, right? Where did he place his princess sister and his three-year-old niece in Hangzhou Prefecture?

All the questions were messed up in Wu Zheng's mind.

Where to retreat has become the most important thing now.

It’s not that Wu Zheng suddenly lost his strength and control over the Northern Expedition Army.

In fact, those who truly rebel did not belong to the true Northern Expedition Army.

Even the Fenglei Cavalry trained by Qian Qiaogong himself remained loyal to the King of Wu at such a critical moment. Only his direct descendants were three or four thousand, and the Xiaolin Cavalry was already in Shuntian Prefecture City, and no cavalry followed Qian Qiaogong.

But the problem is that distant hydrotherapy cannot quench intimidation.

Faced with the situation of attacks between the north and the south, Wu Zheng was unable to transfer reinforcements in time.

Wherever you retreat, it becomes the most critical thing now.

Xia Wanchun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "With the prince's affairs in Longwan, no one has discovered that he has been discovered, General Shi will escort the prince to... Jiangpu!"

These words changed the faces of everyone present.

Anyone who is the best will instinctively choose the person who believes the most and the most reliable place when he encounters rebellion from his subordinates.

Then, now the King of Wu should naturally choose to go to the First Army or the Guards.

Jiangpu, Xia Wanchun, Duke of Wei, territorially.

It doesn't matter if you go on weekdays.

But now if the King of Wu goes, he will feel like he is living under someone else's roof.

Of course, the people present did not think so simply. What they thought was that if the King of Wu went to Jiangpu and Duke Wei suddenly attacked like Chen Zhiyuan and others, then the problem would be even more serious.

You know, at this time, there were only more than 3,000 people around Wu Zheng, including 800 people brought by Xia Wanchun.

The Shi Lang Navy's capacity in Longwan at this time may not have transported these more than 3,000 people.

In other words, the only one who followed Wu Zheng was Wu Zheng's personal guards, the eight hundred people brought by Xia Wanchun, and Shi Lang's sailors could only stay.

Then, the only one who can truly protect Wu Zheng was hundreds of personal guards, which was a completely ignored existence for the Jianyang guard of Duke Wei.

Xia Wanchun smiled bitterly. He kept silent because he was afraid of causing misunderstandings like "using the emperor to command the princes."

Inviting the King of Wu to Jiangpu is a matter of nothing on weekdays, but at this critical moment, it will make people think about it.

Ma Shiying hesitated and said, "...In fact, if you want to walk from the river, the prince can ask General Shi Navy to escort out of the Yangtze River estuary, and then whether you go north to meet with the two generals Chen and Chi, or go south to Hangzhou Prefecture, you can mobilize your troops to quell the rebellion...!"

This still makes sense.

But the problem is that Wu Zheng disagreed.

It’s not that Wu Zheng was too stubborn and stubborn, and wanted to hit the stone with eggs, but it only took half a day to go to Jiangpu, but if you go to Hangzhou, it would take three or five days. If you go to Tianjin and then transfer to Beidu, it would take more than ten days.

At that time, the wood was already in its fortunate form and the daylily was cold!

The most difficult thing in negotiation is that both sides are evenly matched because no one can conquer each other.

Once Chen Zhiyuan's army crosses the river and the left and right camps of the imperial court, the imperial guards meet, and the other rises, the imperial court's army will even be far more than Wu Zheng, then a civil war will inevitably be inevitable.

Unless, compromise yourself.

Wu Zheng slowly stood up and smiled at Xia Wanchun and said, "Originally, I wanted to try to bring my father back from Yingtian Mansion, but the situation is no longer possible. After thinking about it carefully, as long as I am still there, she dare not be unfavorable to my father. Then... let's go to my brother for a few days to stay?"

Xia Wanchun was stunned and then smiled.

Because he felt that Wu Zheng trusted him, what else was more important than the mutual trust between the two at this time?

....

When Wu Zheng took Shi Lang's flagship to leave Longwan and headed west, Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong were actually on the other side of the river, and even watched the flagship leave.

But they didn't know that Wu Zheng was on the boat.

Chen Zhiyuan pointed at the far away Shi Lang fleet and said to Qian Qiaogong: "You have to cross the river quickly, otherwise, when Wang Yilin and Zhang Mingzhen reach the estuary of the Yangtze River, you may not be able to cross the Yangtze River."

Qian Qiaogong's face was dull, and his face had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

"...You said, why did he suddenly arrest us?"

When Chen Zhiyuan heard this, he raised his head and took a long breath, "You have asked all the way...How can I know, maybe I misunderstood us, or..."

Needless to say, Qian Qiaogong also knew what Chen Zhiyuan didn't say meant.

In this way, his father was really killed by Wu Zheng. His sister's handwritten letter was right. In order to eradicate the royal family, Wu Zheng did not hesitate to use the lives of his father and so many innocent people to lure the King of Lu to a coup.

But Qian Qiaogong felt very distressed. He knew that taking this step would mean severance of kindness. The key was that he didn't know how to "rescue" his sister.

"Zhiyuan, do you really want to cross the river?" Qian Qiaogong said with difficulty, "As soon as the army crosses the river, there is no room for this matter to turn back!"

This is right. Whether it is Chen Zhiyuan or Qian Qiaogong, as a general who led the Northern Expedition, he had the power to be proficient in his dictatorship.

As long as the army is still in Jiangbei, it is a mobilization, at most it is a no-order mobilization.

But if you cross the river, it will be behind.

If you return to the rear, the nature will be completely different.

Of course, this is for the General's Mansion, and the court at this time is very welcoming!

Chen Zhiyuan turned around and looked at Qian Qiaogong who was depressed, "I know, you are worried about the princess... but you should also know that my father, Dong'e, and my son are also in his hands... But if you and I don't go south, what will happen? Don't you know in your heart?"

"But...but I always think he shouldn't be so decisive!"

"Actually, I don't want to believe it!" Chen Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at the river, "But the facts are all in front of him... He can even kill the eldest princess, and even his father-in-law can sacrifice... Even you and me have been ordered to become prisoners under the ranks... What else can he not do?"

"Maybe... maybe there is a real misunderstanding?" Qian Qiaogong hesitated, "If I don't listen to him saying it in person... I... I always feel it's inappropriate!"

Chen Zhiyuan slowly turned around, "I don't think there is anything wrong with you and I have achieved today, not because of his gift, but because we have done our best for the world... He cannot kill us, we must tell him... Even without him, we can still get better!"
