Nangong Zheng led the way, and Yuan Zhao followed closely with 800,000 soldiers and horses, but failed to catch up with Su Rong's soldiers before they entered Heiya Pass.
Yuan Zhao was not surprised. If Su Rong could be caught by him so easily, then she would not be worthy of the status of the princess of Nanchu, let alone the powerful rumors about her.
Nangong Zheng's face turned ugly, "Your Highness, should you take advantage of the hasty defense arrangements in Heiya Pass to attack the city immediately for fear of any oversights, or should you take a rest and then formulate an siege strategy?"
Yuan Zhao looked at the city wall and vaguely saw a few figures. He asked: "Who are those people standing on the city wall? Is there a princess?"
Nangong Zheng couldn't see clearly, so he asked someone to bring him a telescope. He took a look at it first, but he didn't recognize it, and then handed it to Yuan Zhao, "I don't recognize him. He must be the prince's subordinate."
Yuan Zhao took the telescope, looked at it for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that Nangong Yin taught you to only look at the land of Nanchu, but did not seriously know the talents of the world. Those three people are not unknown people. They are all from Daliang. If I am not mistaken, one is Zhang Mao, the eldest son of the former Jibei General Mansion, one is Jiang Zhu, the leader of the 18th and 10th villages in Daliang, and the other is Ning Ze, the second son of the Nanping Hou Mansion."
Nangong Zheng was stunned. He had heard the names of these three people, but he really didn't know them. Although Yuan Zhao said that his grandfather didn't teach him to know people other than Nanchu, it was actually wrong. He did, but... His grandfather felt that he was still young and there was no need to rush into some things. His grandfather was also too proud. He did not expect that the Nangong family would be completely defeated after facing Su Rong in such a short period of time. As a result, he had never seen the portraits of these three people, so he did not know.
"Zhang Mao fell into the hands of Su Rong and Zhou Gu in the Eighteenth Village. He was later captured and had no choice but to seek refuge with Su Rong. It can be seen that Zhang Ping failed and there were reasons for his failure. First, he failed to teach his son. Being stabbed and betrayed by his own son, a legitimate son and a bastard, is really sad and ridiculous, and it is the key to his failure. As for the leader of the ten villages, Jiang Zhu, among the eighteen village masters of the eighteen villages, his most powerful thing is not that he really has His ability lies in his ability to judge the situation better than others, and he also hides his edge. He is a very smart person. As for Ning Ze, the second son of the Nanping Marquis Mansion, this man was just lucky enough to be involved in the eldest prince's heir apparent dispute in Daliang Capital. Here, he was half-dead by Su Rong in the name of being sent back to the Nanping Marquis Mansion. The actual purpose was to stop the Nanping Marquis from colluding with the Eighteen Villages. However, he did not expect that when he arrived in Nanping, he encountered the Northern Hebei General Zhang Ping's troops attacking Nanping, and he was confused. So I took refuge in Su Rong and saved a fool and turned him into a half-smart person. I have to say that Su Rong is good at using people, and even I admire her."
Nangong Zheng looked at the figures on the city wall and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince knows the talents of Daliang very well, but I am indeed not as good as me. There is still a lot to learn."
Yuan Zhao smiled and said, "If I want the world, I must know everything about it. Unfortunately, Su Rong has grown up too fast. A year ago, she was a little concubine in Jiangning County, Jiangzhou Prefecture, Daliang. This king I still don’t know who she is, but she is really a concubine. The small area of Jiangning County is too small to enter the king’s eyes, so I don’t know that there is a daughter of Princess Zhenmin and the king of Nanchu hidden there. daughter, so much so that I missed the opportunity to kill her.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Nangong Zheng, "Your queen of the Nangong family has been killing her for five years, but your grandfather and family have never known about it? It's really ridiculous."
Nangong Zheng said: "My grandfather really didn't know that he had been suppressing the Ye Prime Minister's Mansion these years, and my aunt was secretive and deliberately kept it from my grandfather. When my grandfather learned about it, he was furious and wanted to kill my aunt. He sent Countless men were employed, but it was already too late. The secret guards around the princess were powerful, and she herself was extremely skilled in martial arts, but they could not kill her."
"It seems that Nangong Xin is not a stupid person who can hide the truth from your grandfather. She is not a fool. She just ridiculously loves the King of Nanchu? Want to leave him a bloodline to sit on the throne?" Yuan Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Nangong Zheng shook his head, "That's unknown. I haven't asked my aunt."
Yuan Zhao played with the Buddhist beads on his wrist, put down the telescope, and said to Nangong Zheng: "Get some rest! In a short period of time, Heiya Pass is heavily fortified, and military orders are in place. At such a speed, even if we attack the city now, we will not be able to gain favor. After all, Our troops are also exhausted and unfit for battle."
Nangong Zheng nodded, "That's what His Highness the Crown Prince said."
Therefore, Yuan Zhao ordered 800,000 people to camp at the foot of Heiya Pass to rest and recuperate.
"Sure enough, we didn't attack the city." Ning Ze said.
Zhang Mao breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the Crown Prince of Wei did not order an attack on the city, our defense cannot be relaxed. We must keep all the guards energetic and alert at all times."
Ning Ze nodded, "That's for sure."
The three of them got off the city wall. Although the Wei Dynasty did not attack the city, the three of them did not dare to leave. After sending someone to send a message to Su Rong, the three of them discussed again, found a place, and took turns to rest.
Before the Nangong family defeated Nanchu, Heiya Pass was originally a territory controlled by the people of the King of Nanchu, the Nangong family, and the Yexiang Mansion. Since the Nangong family was defeated and the Nangong people withdrew from Nanchu, Heiya Pass was Only the King of Southern Chu and the people from Ye Xiang's Mansion were left in Yaguan.
Therefore, Su Rong settled in Heiyaguan very smoothly. After entering Heiyaguan, he quickly took over all the affairs of Heiyaguan.
Ning Ze said that apart from the three of them guarding the city gate, it was actually impossible for everyone to rest. After everyone entered the general military office, no one went to rest. Ye Guixue called the city guard to learn about the current affairs of Heiyaguan, and whether there were remnants of the Nangong family and traitors in the city, as well as how many granaries there were. etc.
Su Rong, Xie Yuan, Zhou Gu, and Zhang Yun gathered together to study combat strategies.
Just defend blindly, as Su Rong said, for up to half a month, you still have to take the initiative to attack as appropriate, but how to attack must be based on your own advantages and formulate a feasible military plan.
And Fengling and her people carefully arranged and inspected the defenses everywhere, and they couldn't rest.
Doctor Zhang and a group of military doctors were also busy. When a war was about to begin, what did he lack most? Of course it was medicinal materials, so he hurriedly dug and collected all the medicinal herbs in the city to prepare for war.
Shen Yi, who kept telling Su Rong not to leave and wanted to go to bed, didn't really go to sleep. She took a few people with her and followed Dr. Zhang and others in search of poison and made it into poisonous powder. She held her waist and was busy because her legs were weak. Touch the ground.
Although she has never been to the battlefield in person, followed a large number of people along the way, and has never experienced a war, she knows that poison powder is very effective. If the wind blows and scatters the poison powder, it will It is also a weapon that can knock down a large area.
