Nangong Zheng wanted to take a gamble and kill Su Rong and Xie Yuan to avenge his grandfather.
But the price of revenge was that he would pay the lives of all members of the Nangong family. Before Su Rong's reinforcements arrived, he packed up Su Rong's 50,000 to 60,000 troops, trapped her and strangled her here.
He asked himself, can he do it?
He has 300,000 soldiers and horses. If you bet, how long will it take to do it?
Just as he was meditating, the sound of trampling horse hooves came from behind Su Rong's soldiers and horses, as if a large number of soldiers and horses were coming.
Su Rong smiled and said to Nangong Zheng, "They are my reinforcements."
Nangong Zheng's pupils trembled slightly.
Su Rong added: "Not many, probably less than 100,000 troops."
Ye Guixue and Nangong Yun fought in Fengming Mountain. They had 50,000 soldiers and horses. At most, Nangong Yun had 40,000 soldiers left. However, the soldiers and horses in Zhou Gu's hands were used to conquer the Liu'an King in the Death Valley of Wanren Mountain. Soldiers and horses, forty-five thousand, adding up, is really not enough for one hundred thousand.
But these less than 100,000 soldiers and horses have now become a great help to Su Rongmo. It would not be easy for Nangong Zheng to strangle her and these soldiers. And she also has a large number of soldiers coming, and it is still unclear who will win in the end.
Sure enough, as she finished speaking, the soldiers and horses behind her gradually emerged, and the banner of "Southern Chu" was clear. It was the troops who came together with Ye Guixue and Zhou Guhui. Su Rong's guess was good, no more, no less, eighty-five thousand.
When the reinforcements arrived and saw Wei's flag and 300,000 troops, they were all startled and sped up.
Ye Guixue's injuries were not fully healed yet, so she, Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun also stayed in the carriage. He met Zhou Gu and delayed some time, so he was a hundred miles behind Nangong Yun's troops. There was a small gap of half a day in time.
Zhou Gu was seriously injured and had to travel for several days. Fortunately, he was given good medicine so that he could hold on. The same was true for Zhang Yun. Now the two of them are still unable to walk independently. They still need someone to support them when walking. He lay in the carriage to recover from his injuries.
When the team came closer, Zhou Gu opened the curtain and stuck his head out of the carriage. He looked at the dark Wei soldiers in front and said nothing.
Zhang Yun also stuck his head out, took a look, took a breath, and whispered: "Fortunately, we arrived in time."
While the two were talking, Ye Guixue had already got off the carriage, walked up to Su Rong, held her hands in greeting, "Princess."
Su Rong smiled at him and said, "Guixue, you came just in time."
Ye Guixue also smiled, "Not only me, but Mr. Zhou Zhou and Mr. Zhang San, they joined me and came here."
Su Rong nodded and said to him: "I am negotiating with Nangong Zheng now. You came just in time. You should be better at negotiating than me." She stretched out her hand and said, "I have no intention of negotiating with Nangong Zheng now." Fight hard. You talk to him about using all the Nangong family members in exchange for my uncle Xie's life. I will also let the Nangong family go and let him take the Nangong family people to withdraw from Nanchu and join the Wei Dynasty. I won't stop him. If he dares to take one step further with Wei's soldiers and horses, I will kill him quickly."
Ye Guixue nodded without any objection, "Okay, I'll talk to him."
Su Rong left the matter to Ye Guixue and was not willing to talk to Nangong Zheng anymore. Her heart fluttered at Zhou Gu and she immediately walked towards the carriage where he was.
When Nangong Zheng saw Su Rong leaving and Ye Guixue walking towards him, his face tightened and he said, "Second Young Master Ye."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Mr. Zheng, the princess still has 300,000 troops on the way. The princess just told me that she has no intention of fighting with you. She will trade the lives of all the Nangong family members for Mr. Xie's life. She let the Nangong family go, but you and the Nangong family withdrew their troops from Nanchu, allowing you to defect to the Wei Dynasty. If you bring the Wei troops and horses to invade again in the future, the princess will never tolerate it."
Nangong Zheng said with a sullen face, "Did I let the princess go, or did the princess let my Nangong family go? The princess may have said something wrong. Although the princess still has 300,000 troops, they are only on the road. They can come in a moment. No. And the princess currently has less than 150,000 in hand. If we really fight, she is no match for me."
Ye Guixue said: "Young Master Zheng has indeed doubled the number of troops, but are you sure that all the members of the Nangong family will die here? You can leave the green mountains without worrying about having no firewood. If your Nangong family is wiped out in one fell swoop, then you But you are the only orphan in the Nangong family in this world. No matter how talented you are, without the support of your clan members, even if you join the Wei Dynasty, how far can you go?"
He looked at Nangong Zheng, "Young Master Zheng is no longer a child. Weighing the pros and cons is something you have learned since childhood. You should understand most that the Nangong family members are the foundation of your Nangong family for hundreds of years. Now, how can we talk about the establishment of the Nangong family? The Nangong family rebels against the king and the princess, and they do not hesitate to break up. What is the reason? Is it just to wipe out the family?"
Seeing Nangong Zheng's face sullen and silent, he said calmly: "If Mr. Zheng is going to have a fierce battle with the princess, then the princess will definitely accompany him. It is still unclear who will win. I hope Mr. Zheng will not regret it."
Nangong Zheng clenched his palms, feeling waves of pain in his heart, and he remained silent.
Ye Guixue was not in a hurry and waited patiently for him to make a decision.
On the other side, Su Rong had arrived in front of Zhou Gu's carriage. She looked at the two heads poking out from the carriage and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you still injured?"
Otherwise, they wouldn't all have stayed in the carriage obediently, and they wouldn't have gotten off the carriage and ran out to show their faces like it was snowing at night.
Zhou Gu said "hmm" and looked at her with good eyes.
Zhang Yun touched his nose, "Um, princess, what did Nangong Zheng say?"
"He will agree to peace talks." Su Rong said.
If Nangong Zheng was an impulsive person, he would have ordered people to kill him the moment he chased her. He didn't kill her when he watched her eating roast rabbit, and then he didn't kill her when he talked to her. Now that she has reinforcements coming, With the added chips, he has to weigh the pros and cons even more.
Zhang Yun nodded and felt relieved immediately. After playing for so long, he was exhausted and crazy, and he didn't want to fight. It would be best for Nangong Zheng to negotiate peace. Just let him go. What does it matter if all the Nangong family members are gone? Anyway, there is not much difference between leaving one person and leaving hundreds. In short, Nangong Yin is dead. , and it would be best for them, the Nangong family, to get out of Nanchu's territory.
He wisely knew that now was not the time for him to talk to Su Rongduo. Although he had a lot to say, he immediately waved for someone, who quickly helped him out of the car, leaving the place for Su Rong and Zhou Gu to talk.
Zhou Gu was satisfied with Zhang Yun's knowledge and insight. After he was helped away, he grabbed Su Rong's wrist and whispered to her: "Get in the car."
Su Rong looked at him with a smile, obeyed him, and got into the carriage with the help of his hand.
As soon as the car curtain fell, before she could sit firmly, Zhou Gu pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
