Ye Guixue nodded when he heard this, and immediately took out a topographic map from the carriage.
He spread out the topographic map in front of Su Rong and said to her: "This topographic map was specially drawn by me a few years ago when I traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Nanchu. It is the same as the topographic map in the hands of the princess. Different, this one is more detailed.”
Su Rong lowered his head and smiled immediately, "We knew you should have more detailed information here."
She immediately asked Ye Guixue, "Which way do you think Han Yin would take if he brought 40,000 troops back to the Wei Dynasty? If we take a shortcut from the nearest road and rush in front of him, we can intercept him on the only way he can pass. , which way should we go to intercept it?"
Hearing this, Ye Guixue looked at the terrain map and began to think about it.
Ye Guiyan also came closer and pondered together.
Su Rong and Qin Ruo were not idle either, studying this more detailed topographic map at the same time.
After a long time, Ye Guixue pointed out, "Han Yin may have taken both roads. I'm really not sure which one he took. But one thing that is certain is that we can intercept him at Yunbi Mountain. He. Yunbi Mountain is a thousand and two hundred miles away from here. It is the only road from here to the Wei Dynasty. There is another road, which is different from these two roads. It is flat and difficult to walk through rock climbing and natural hazards. It is very difficult to find the right direction, but the distance will be shortened by one-third. This road is not usually taken by anyone, and it is not on the topographic map. Han Yin may not know it, and even if he knew it, he would probably not take it. If the princess wants to take a shortcut to intercept him, this route is the best choice."
"It's so dangerous. It will definitely be difficult for the carriage to move." Su Rong glanced at the injuries on Ye Guixue and Ye Guiyan, and immediately said: "Is there someone around you who knows this road? Ask him to follow me. Now ten Fifty thousand troops and horses, I will leave you fifty thousand troops and horses, and I will take away one hundred thousand troops and horses. You can wait for the opportunity and continue to the royal capital, or you can wait for the large number of troops and horses I borrowed from the rear to gather together before going to the royal capital. "
Ye Guixue immediately said: "I'll go with you, Princess. My injury doesn't matter. My eldest brother can stay behind in the army."
"Can you ride a horse and climb the mountain road?" Su Rong thought he couldn't. "You'll be unable to bear it, so don't keep going."
"I can bear it." Ye Guixue affirmed: "It is okay for someone to lead the way for the princess, but I don't trust it. I will follow the princess. If the road is blocked, I can change the route and adapt to changes. I am better than The princess knows much about Nanchu."
Ye Guiyan said at the side: "Prince, please take your second brother with you! There are guards and soldiers here. If the second brother can't bear it, someone can help him. Not to mention that there is Miss Lanzhi beside the princess. At critical moments, you can heal."
Su Rong originally wanted to object, but seeing Ye Guiyan saying the same thing, and looking at Ye Guixue's determined face, she nodded, "Okay."
Ye Guixue smiled when she saw her promise.
Su Rong said: "I'll go say hello to Prime Minister Ye and his wife, and then we'll split into two groups."
After she finished speaking, she said to Ye Guiyan: "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, I will leave my secret guard Fu Zhou with you, and he will contact the large number of soldiers and horses in the rear."
Ye Guiyan nodded, "Okay, Princess, don't worry."
After Su Rong finished explaining, she and Qin Ruo got off Ye Guixue's carriage.
Ye Xiang's carriage in front had stopped. Ye Xiang looked out and saw Su Rong walking towards his carriage. He asked, "Princess, what happened?"
Su Rong nodded, "I have something to do. Is it convenient for Ye Xiang? Should I get on Ye Xiang's car and talk about it? Or should Ye Xiang get off?"
"Princess, please." Ye Xiang immediately gave up his position.
Su Rong got on Ye Xiang's carriage and saw that the interior of his carriage was neat and tidy, with more than half of the carriage piled up except books. She didn't see Mrs. Ye, so she blinked. It is generally understood that the carriage of the Prime Minister of the Night is generally inconvenient for his wife to rest together. After all, the Prime Minister of the Night has to work, meet people, deliver letters and meet people.
The Night Prime Minister also explained, "Madam doesn't like the restraint and noise in my carriage, so she has her own carriage so that she can sleep more easily."
Su Rong nodded and sat down, "I came to see Ye Xiang because I wanted to tell him something..."
She mentioned the discussion with Qin Ruo, Ye Guixue and Ye Guiyan to Ye Xiang.
After hearing this, Ye Xiang held his forehead and said with emotion: "After all, we are young people. There are talented people from generation to generation, but we are old."
He finished speaking with emotion and nodded to Su Rong, "Young Master Qin next to the princess is right. Even I didn't remember in time that the Wei Dynasty still had 500,000 soldiers on the border of Southern Chu. Such a threat is really a big threat. , I have to plan in advance.”
He agreed: "Go ahead, Princess. Since you have left a message with Fuzhou, you can rest assured that the veteran will discuss with Guiyan and decide whether to rush back to the capital first or wait for a large number of people at the rear. We will discuss it later."
Su Rong nodded, "Thank you, Prime Minister Ye. Then I will order my troops and set off."
"Okay." Ye Xiang nodded.
So Su Rong got off the carriage and asked someone to send orders to the three armies. The army was suspended and she was allowed to order the troops to set off.
Half an hour later, the 100,000 troops and horses were ordered, including 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry. Due to Ye Guixue's serious injury and the flat journey in the short distance, a carriage was left for him to ride on, and the rest of the carriages were left behind. Among the thousands of soldiers and horses, Su Rong also rode on horseback.
The troops were divided into two groups, and soon, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses disappeared.
After Ye Guiyan ordered a brief repair, he got into Ye Xiang's carriage and said to Ye Xiang: "Father, the princess is a very decisive person. My second brother is right. She acts neatly and decisively."
"If you don't act decisively, how can you be very decisive in marriage?" Ye Xiang sighed, "She is a good princess and will be a good monarch in the future."
Ye Guiyan said: "Earlier, my father was worried that the princess would be impulsive at a young age and would value the personal relationship of his children more than the country. But now that is not the case. My father should be relieved."
Ye Xiang nodded, "I'm very relieved."
Rumors are just rumors after all. There are all kinds of rumors about Su Rong. After Ye Guixue came back from Daliang, based on his one-sided words, Ye Xiang was angry and felt that many years of planning had been ruined. It was really infuriating and hard-working. , in the end, he was prejudiced and unfavorable towards Su Rong.
Now that he has experienced the catastrophe of life and death and was saved by Su Rong in time, he has now understood that seeing people is better than hearing them a hundred times. His previous views before seeing people were biased and underestimated. Got this princess.
She is indeed a girl taught by Xie Yuan. If she had been raised by the king since she was a child, she might not have been able to teach her so well. It's not that he belittles the king, but in fact, when it comes to educating people, Xie Yuan, who was once famous all over the world for his three yuan grades, is a truly talented person.
Prime Minister Ye pondered: "Let's rush to the royal capital quickly. We can't let the old thief Nangong see that the situation is not good and go to seek refuge with the Wei Dynasty. At the very least, we must stop him first."
Ye Guiyan nodded, "Father is right."
Dear babies, monthly pass, okay?
