The soldiers and horses of the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao arrived so quickly that Su Rong could not wait until Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu led their troops to join forces. She cursed in her heart and quickly retreated with hundreds of thousands of troops.
Even if the defense line is lost and the homeland is lost, we cannot resist forcefully at this time.
What is the concept of an 800,000-strong army? Su Rong felt her cheeks hurt when she thought about it. Not to mention the 800,000-strong army attacking Nanchu, even if it invaded Daliang, it would be enough for Yan Huisheng to drink a pot.
The person who led the way was Nangong Zheng. He knew Nanchu very well. He also had face-to-face interactions with Zhou Gu and Su Rong, and could better guess their retreat route. Therefore, the 800,000-strong army pursued them closely, biting them. tight.
After traveling hundreds of miles, Su Rong finally met Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhu, Ning Ze and others who were leading 300,000 soldiers to repair on a low slope.
Ning Ze was squatting on the ground drawing circles when he saw troops approaching from the front. The leader was Su Rong. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Princess!"
Su Rong didn't have time to say anything, and immediately said: "Quickly, break up the camp and retreat with me to Heiya Pass. The prince Yuan Zhao of the Wei Dynasty leads 800,000 troops. Nangong Zheng leads the way, and he is dozens of miles behind."
"What?" Ning Ze jumped up.
Su Rong nodded, "Hurry up!"
Ning Ze was frightened and confused, and shouted hurriedly, "Quick, the princess has ordered us to break camp and retreat quickly!"
Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses have been repaired for a day. Now I heard that 800,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty were invading. The prince of the Wei Dynasty, Yuan Zhao, personally led the troops. However, they had no village in front and no store in the back. It was time to withdraw.
Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses moved out of camp quickly, but it took some time. After the team quickly retreated and stepped forward, Jiang Zhu, Zhang Mao, Ning Ze and others gathered around Su Rong.
Zhang Maodao: "We have been on the road with 300,000 soldiers and horses. It was not until the news that the princess made peace with Nangong Zheng and Nangong Zheng retreated with the soldiers and horses that we felt there was no need to rush. In order to let the soldiers rest for a while, After all, the soldiers who had been on the road were exhausted, so they stayed here for one more day. Unexpectedly, why did Nangong Zheng make a comeback with the Crown Prince of Wei? "
Su Rong answered him, "When Nangong Zheng retreated, he probably didn't know that the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao would personally bring 500,000 troops to attack Nan Chu. He thought there were no reinforcements. If he really fought with me, he would take the Nangong family's closest relatives. Even if the tribesmen sacrificed flags, they might not be able to kill me and get benefits, so he withdrew his troops after weighing the pros and cons. But probably when he withdrew his troops to the border, he didn't expect to encounter Yuan Zhao leading troops, so he naturally obeyed Yuan Zhao’s is making a comeback.”
"I see, 800,000 soldiers and horses..." Zhang Mao said: "The disparity in military strength is still too great. Even if we retreat to Heiya Pass, can we resist the 800,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty?"
"That's enough. So, I have sent a message to Daliang to prepare 200,000 troops at the border of Nanchu." Su Rong said: "Seven hundred thousand versus eight hundred thousand, there is still some chance of winning. But before that, we We have to hold on at Heiyaguan. At least half a month."
After all, it takes half a month to travel from the border of Nanchu to Heiyaguan, both day and night.
Zhang Mao nodded.
Ning Ze, who had been silent, scratched his head and said, "Prince, we are traveling too slowly. It would be great if we arrive early and can keep Nangong Zheng behind."
"You have tried your best. The Daliang soldiers entered Nanchu for the first time. The mountains are dense and the forests are dark and cold. It is normal for the soldiers not to adapt to the cold climate." Su Rong did not think, "You can save my Uncle Xie and let Nangong Zheng go." so what?"
She knew better than anyone else that if she killed the Nangong family, Xie Yuan would die, and if Nangong Zheng was left behind, Xie Yuan would die as well. She didn't want him to die, and she wanted him to teach her children in the future.
Ning Ze put down his hand and said bitterly: "Da Wei is really ambitious and treacherous. However, we have few troops and cannot fight back easily."
"You can always fight back happily." Su Rong pressed her teeth against her cheek, thinking what if she asked Yan Huisheng to send troops to attack Wei at this time? Come to surround Wei and rescue Zhao? Is it more beneficial than letting Yan Huisheng rescue Nanchu alone?
When she thought of this, she immediately asked Ning Ze, "What do you think, I will send a message to His Highness the Crown Prince Feiying and let Daliang take the opportunity to attack Wei with all his strength?"
"Ah?" Ning Ze was startled and pointed at himself, "Prince, you, are you asking me?"
"Yes, ask you."
Ning Ze doesn't know either. He has always felt that he is a little waste. He can't be ranked among so many smart people. Although after these few months, everyone has praised him for his potential, he also feels that he has potential. He's making progress, but he doesn't dare to make any random suggestions on such a big matter.
He said timidly: "Well, you should ask a smart person?"
Su Rong looked at him and said nothing.
Ning Ze's scalp was numb from being stared at by Su Rong, and his chaotic mind was working rapidly. After a long time, he said: "The Wei Dynasty came to attack Nanchu. The prince Yuan Zhao of the Wei Dynasty personally led 800,000 troops. With such a huge number, how could the Wei Dynasty still... How many soldiers and horses are left? At most, there are twenty or thirty more. It is already rare for a Wei Dynasty to have a million soldiers. Can the Wei Dynasty still have 800,000 soldiers and horses? No way? So, so I think, you said It is also feasible to ask the Prince of Liang to raise troops in the Wei Dynasty..."
"Isn't that what you're talking about?" Su Rong looked away, "You're right. The Wei Dynasty still has at most 300,000 to 400,000 troops. One million and two hundred thousand troops is the maximum number of troops that the Wei Dynasty can raise."
She immediately ordered Fengling to bring the flying eagle, quickly picked up the pen on the horse, and after a few strokes, she tied the brief letter to the flying eagle's leg and let it fly.
Ning Ze was shocked, "Wang, Wang Daughter, don't you need to discuss it with others? Are you just going to make this decision?"
"Didn't I discuss it with you?" Su Rong said.
Ning Ze: "..."
He thought that when he finished speaking, he just finished speaking. How could he know that after the princess listened to his words, she didn't ask anyone else at all, and the matter was settled like that.
Such a big thing.
He was feeling dizzy, "Prince, is this okay?"
"Why not?" Su Rong gave him a funny look, "Why are you shrinking? Come to think of it, you can do it alone. Even you think it's feasible, and others even think it's feasible. For the master, for the general, The worst thing to avoid is hesitation and indecisiveness. You should be happy that I can make such a decision."
Ning Ze quickly sat up straight and said loudly: "Yes!"
Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu, who were following him, witnessed the whole process. Su Rong didn't ask them, and they didn't say anything, but they all admitted in their hearts that the princess was right. Now the situation in Southern Chu is critical and the situation is serious. The 800,000 soldiers were coming fiercely, and Wei was attacking. If the princess led the troops to carry it with force, they would be able to carry it with the backing of Daliang, but it was not enough for Daliang to take the opportunity to send troops to deal with Wei, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and let the backyard of the crown prince of Wei catch fire. See Can the Crown Prince of Wei still concentrate on dealing with Nanchu, and can he withdraw his troops to rescue Wei?
Indeed, just asking Ning Ze is enough.
