When Su Rong entered Nanchu, she subdued the 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the border of Nanchu, and she took away 50,000 soldiers and horses. Now Jiang Zhu and others can't move fast with 280,000 soldiers and horses.
The army is marching in a vast and vast way, always looking forward and backward, which makes it appear to be marching slowly.
Ning Ze was furious, but knowing that what Jiang Zhu said made sense, he could only give up and urge the march to speed up.
The secret stake of the Wei Dynasty took Xie Yuan from the capital of Southern Chu to the border of the Wei Dynasty, and the journey went very smoothly without the Nangong family's full force to intercept him.
Da Wei's hidden stakes were not worried about who else could stop them except the Nangong family. As long as the Nangong family doesn't take action, they can openly send people to Wei.
After all, from the perspective of the great Wei Anzhuang, although the current situation in Nanchu is that the Nangong family is in doom, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As long as the Nangong family dare not take action, the rest of the people will not be able to do anything to them.
Although they knew that Su Rong had brought 300,000 soldiers and horses to Nanchu, it was thousands of miles from the border of Nanchu to the border of Wei. It was difficult for her to catch up with them from the capital of Nanchu to the border of Wei. of passage.
Therefore, Da Wei's secret agents took Xie Yuan away without any worries.
However, they were not too slow. They traveled almost day and night. People sent by the Nangong family followed them all the time. From the perspective of Dawei Anzhuang, with the people of the Nangong family protecting him, no one could snatch Xie Yuan away, so there was no need to worry.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Wei Dynasty Anzhuang and the Nangong family, Wan Niang led her people far behind. She anxiously sent word of their route to others while waiting for the opportunity to rescue Xie Yuan.
After walking for seven or eight days, there was no chance. Wan Niang was a little anxious. If they continued like this, they would successfully take Xie Yuan to the border of Wei. It would be difficult to rescue Xie Yuan.
Wan Niang gritted her teeth, thinking that it was really impossible, so she led her men to fight, but she also knew in her heart that she couldn't fight, and she would just die in vain as a last resort.
But she still remembered that from childhood to adulthood, Miss Seven told each of them that their lives were precious and should be cherished. Even before everyone had grown up, she would not allow anyone to step out of Jiangning County, no matter how old they were. Explore her life experience, or spread your influence.
Before letting them come to Nanchu, she repeatedly told them not to take their own lives seriously, to think twice before acting even if it was absolutely necessary, and not to take risks with their own lives, as the gains outweigh the losses.
Wan Niang was struggling alone, so she called everyone with her to discuss what to do.
Although Su Rongqi raised these orphans in Jiangning County with her care, she was too young at the time and could only do so little, so she could only seek help from Xie Yuan. After Xie Yuan touched her head and agreed, he gave most of the money to her. Everything has been taken care of, and it has been taken care of for many years. Although their master was Su Rong, they were equally respectful and grateful to Xie Yuan. How could they bear it if they watched him being taken away to the Wei Dynasty without doing anything?
Therefore, in the end, everyone unanimously decided to fight to the death to save Xie Yuan. Even if the master told him repeatedly, they would not hesitate to save their lives. They would rather trade their own lives for Xie Yuan's.
In the hearts of all of them, they all felt that Xie Yuan alone could help his master more than all of them put together, and was more emotionally important.
Wan Niang patted everyone on the shoulder one by one, her eyes were red, "Then let's do it this way. Each of us will try our best, risking life and death, to rescue Mr. Xie."
Everyone nodded in unison.
So, Wan Niang immediately decided to take action at midnight that day. She counted all the hidden weapons and poisons on everyone, and then made arrangements as quickly as possible. Who was responsible for breaking through, who was responsible for covering, who was responsible for rescuing people, and who was responsible for taking people away. , Where can I take it to avoid the pursuit of the Wei Dynasty's hidden stakes and Nangong's family, etc.
After some arrangements, we could only move in the middle of the night.
An hour before midnight, when everyone was nervously preparing to attack with all their strength, a flying eagle landed quietly and delivered a letter.
When Wan Niang received this letter, she was overjoyed and immediately ordered everyone to cancel the plan.
She said to everyone in surprise: "Master has sent a letter. The king has raised 50,000 troops and horses in Xiling. As long as we take this personal letter from the king and go to Xiling to find Cheng Yun, he will send out troops and horses. Help us intercept Da Wei's hidden stakes."
Everyone was surprised and happy when they heard this.
Therefore, Wan Niang arranged for people to continue to follow the Wei Dynasty's hidden stake, while she took the people and immediately set off to Xiling via a detour.
Wan Niang moved very quickly, and their current location was not far from Xiling. Therefore, one day and night later, she avoided the Nangong family and came to Xiling.
The Chixia Valley in the Xiling Mountains is a land of natural peaks and deep valleys. Wild beasts often appear and the nearby villagers avoid it. Due to the special terrain and barren mountains, if you don't specially search the mountains, you can pass the Nine Songs and Eighteen Mountains. Turning into the depths of the mountain, it is difficult to find that there are 50,000 soldiers and horses here.
Guyuan County was within the sphere of influence of the Prime Minister Ye's Mansion. This was the place where Prime Minister Ye and the King of Southern Chu chose to raise their troops after they had exhausted all their strength.
In the past five years, the secret has been difficult to discover, and Nangong Yin and the Nangong family have really not discovered it.
Wan Niang searched for the specific location and entered the Chixia Valley. As soon as she stepped into the valley entrance, she was discovered by the mountain guard. Someone blew a whistle. In an instant, a group of men in black appeared from everywhere and took Wan Niang and others. People surrounded it.
"What are you doing? It's forbidden to enter here." One of them said.
Wan Niang thought to herself, no wonder no one had discovered this privately kept army and horses in the past five years. It turned out that as long as anyone stepped into this place, they would never return, which meant that once they came, they could not leave.
She took out the letter and said to the leader: "By the king's order, I see Cheng Yun."
The leader looked at Wan Niang carefully, and after a moment, he extended his hand to her and said, "Bring it here."
Wan Niang refused to give it and emphasized, "I want to see Cheng Yun and see him in person before I can present the letter."
The man said: "I am Cheng Yun."
Wan Niang looked at him, "Evidence."
The man took out a token representing his identity and showed it in front of Wan Niang.
Wan Niang was stunned for a moment. Is this person really Cheng Yun? The commander in charge of 50,000 troops actually followed others to guard the mountain pass? Why? She looked at Cheng Yun with some suspicion.
Cheng Yun stretched out his hand and pulled off the scarf on his face, revealing his stern face, "Give me the king's letter to check."
Wan Niang said: "Bring your token first. I will check it carefully and confirm that you are Cheng Yun before giving it to you."
Cheng Yun paused, nodded, and threw the token representing his identity to Wan Niang.
Wan Niang reached out to take it and opened the letter. It was exactly as it said in the letter. She returned the token to Cheng Yun and handed him the letter at the same time.
