Two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses headed for Longxi County, taking a shortcut and marching in a hurry, day and night, and it would take half a month at the fastest.
After leaving Nanping City and traveling dozens of miles, Su Rong felt that it was not possible to go on like this. By the time they arrived with reinforcements, Longxi County had already been defeated. Perhaps Zhang Ping had already led his troops and horses straight into the capital, and they could only chase them. Zhang Ping ran away from behind.
She said to Zhou Gu: "You and your third brother, with one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, will leave first."
Zhou Gu also felt that this was not going to work, but he was thinking about what to do. Hearing Su Rong's words, he turned to look at her.
Su Rong said to him: "There is no general in the imperial court to lead the army. Although your eldest brother is a prince and has been in the army since he was a child, he lacks experience on the battlefield. He may not have a chance of winning against Zhang Ping, especially with a huge disparity in military strength." Under the circumstances. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not let him take on this important responsibility. I am worried. After all, Zhang Ping is cunning and treacherous. He will probably plan to personally lead the troops to fight against Zhang Ping. But the courtiers in the court will definitely not allow it. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves the capital, no one will be able to sit down and control everything in the capital. Your Majesty is not in good health now, is not very capable, and is not trusted by the courtiers. So... the person who leads the troops in the end... …”
"It will be my grandfather." Zhou Gu took over. "My grandfather has a strong body. He has eaten more salt than Zhang Ping. He has traveled more roads. If he takes action, he will not be afraid of Zhang Ping."
Su Rong nodded, "Yes, it should be the old Duke who leads the army, but after all, the old Duke is old and his experience is not good, especially now that it is snowing and cold, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the burden of traveling long distances and marching in a hurry. Zhang Ping 250,000 Soldiers and horses, but the imperial court was fully prepared, 200,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Ping was fully prepared, but the imperial court mobilized troops in a hurry..."
"The 100,000 soldiers and horses from Beijing in your Majesty's hands are only the number of men. They have been used up for so many years and are not very useful." Zhou Gu said.
"That's it, so you have to go." Su Rong reached out and took out a terrain map, spread it out, "Take a shortcut and go straight to Changzhou."
Zhou Gu lowered his head to look at the topographic map in Su Rong's hand, thought for a moment, and nodded, "You're right, I'm afraid Longxi has been captured long ago. If you go to Longxi, you may have to chase after Zhang Ping, but if you go straight Changzhou is different. Maybe we can reunite with my grandfather as soon as possible."
Su Rong nodded and handed him the terrain map, "Take it and leave quickly."
Zhou Gu took the topographic map, folded it, stuffed it into his arms, pulled Su Rong over, lowered his head and kissed her.
Su Rong punched him twice before Zhou Gu let go and said against the corner of her mouth: "I'm going, you should be careful. Don't let Fengling leave your side again when I'm not around."
"I know." Su Rong responded lightly.
Zhou Gu let go of her and turned around. Just as he was about to jump off the carriage, Su Rong held him down with her backhand and thrust her hand unceremoniously through his collar.
Zhou Gu was shocked and took a breath of air.
Su Rong met his startled eyes, lowered her head, and kissed his Adam's apple. Zhou Gu's breath suddenly suffocated. Su Rong kissed him a few times without mercy, and touched the well-proportioned texture with her hands irregularly. His whole body was shaking, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then he let him go and said, "Let's go this time!"
Zhou Gu grabbed her hand and held it tightly, his voice hoarse, "How can we leave now?"
His body changed in an instant. How could he go out at this time?
Su Rong poured cold water on him, "Hurry up and save your grandfather. The old Protector is waiting for you to save him."
The heat all over Zhou Gu's body subsided instantly. He sat up, gritted his teeth at Su Rong, and reached out to pinch her face. He wanted to use force, but he couldn't bear to do it, so he could only pinch her angrily and scold her, "Bad thing."
Su Rong raised an eyebrow at him and scolded him back, "I learned from you."
Zhou Gu laughed angrily and said harshly to her, "Just wait."
Su Rong raised a smile and said, "Okay."
Just wait, whoever is afraid is a puppy.
Zhou Gu reluctantly pulled her into his arms again, kissed her twice, let her go, gritted his teeth, and got out of the carriage.
Su Rong licked the corners of her mouth, opened the curtain and looked outside.
After Zhou Gu got out of the car, he immediately gathered his collar and shouted in a deep voice, "Midnight, bring my horse."
Midnight followed the car, and after hearing the words, he immediately stepped forward and brought Zhou Gu's horse to him.
Zhou Gu got on his horse and went to the rear to find Zhou Che.
Midnight quickly followed.
Su Rong held up the curtain to watch the two of them walking away. Not long after, Zhou Che led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and together with Zhou Gu, turned around and separated from Su Rong at the fork in the road ahead.
Fengling rode up to the car and said, "Sister, my brother-in-law has diverted his troops? Where have they gone?"
"Changzhou."
Fengling blinked, "Changzhou. Take a shortcut, the fastest is five days."
Su Rong said "Yeah", lowered the curtain, retreated into the carriage, pulled off the quilt, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Fengling used to ride Su Rong's horse, Su Rong's carriage, and Su's carriage. But now, he was embarrassed, but it was so cold while riding. He slowed down, fell in front of Zhang Mao's carriage behind, and knocked on the carriage. .
Zhang Mao immediately lifted the curtain and said, "Mr. Feng, what's the matter?"
Fengling took a look inside and saw Zhang Mao and Ning Ze staying in the carriage. Because Zhang Mao injured his leg, he needed to straighten his legs, so it took up most of the carriage, plus Ning Ze. Barely able to wait, he could only give up, "It's okay."
He fell a few steps behind and knocked on Jiang Zhu's carriage.
Jiang Zhu slowly opened the car curtain and looked at Fei Ling, "Master Feng?"
Fengling saw that he was the only one in his carriage, and the paving was very comfortable. He jumped off his horse rudely and got into his carriage neatly, "Mr. Jiang, please borrow a place."
Jiang Zhu smiled and said, "Young Master Feng, you're welcome. Please do it."
Fengling found a comfortable position, rubbed her hands and said, "It's so cold today that it's hard to ride a horse. My sister's carriage is the most comfortable, but that was before, and now, I can't squeeze in with her anymore." The carriage is over. Last time I came close to my sister and whispered a few words. My brother-in-law didn’t say anything to her face, but when he came to me to practice swordsmanship later, forget about that ruthlessness. Hey, I can only bother Mr. Jiang. "
He said, very melancholy, "People with marriage certificates are different and cannot be offended."
Jiang Zhu could understand it very well, because before he met Su Rong, he had seen Zhou Gu's domineering and protective nature. He was so confident and unyielding in guarding others. He smiled and said: "Brother Zhou is young, But whoever dares to mess with him will really risk his life."
Fengling kept nodding, "That's right."
He whispered: "Others can't mess with you, but my sister can. My sister used to bully others... Well, it's better now, things are changing."
Jiang Zhu smartly knew that he was talking about the period when the engagement was broken off, so he whispered: "Brother Feng, tell me about Nan Chu's Young Master Ye, so that I can have an understanding. After all, this is the person I will deal with in the future. "
