Inside Heiya Pass, everyone was busy preparing for the war. Outside Heiya Pass, Prince Yuan Zhao of the Wei Dynasty was not idle either. He also led his people to formulate combat strategies.
Prince Yuan Zhao has been favored, trusted and cultivated by the Emperor of Wei since he was a child. He acts without scruples and recruits talents. Therefore, his subordinates are equally talented.
Because he had never been restrained by anyone, the Emperor of Wei was not afraid of the prince's ability, nor was he afraid of the people who would succeed him threatening his imperial power. Therefore, the number of capable people he had recruited over the years from childhood to adulthood was actually greater than that of Prince Yan Huisheng of Liang. There are many capable people.
Not only the talented student think tank star, but also the swordsman and swordsman who took refuge in Jianghu, Yuan Zhao was open to all rivers.
After a series of failed plots against General Zhang Ping of Daliang, Hebei and Pingxi generals, Yuan Zhao was extremely reluctant to withdraw his troops. Therefore, when he came back to attack Nan Chu, Yuan Zhao brought all the think tanks and capable troops around him. Centaur.
There is He Lanjue, the most powerful general in the Wei Dynasty, Lu Jin, the best counselor in the Wei Dynasty, Ren Yue, the best knight in the Wei Dynasty, Luo Yan, the most poisonous doctor in the Wei Dynasty, and so on.
It is worth mentioning that this Luo Yan is a woman, a teenage girl. It is said that she learned to use poison at the age of three. She was cruel and ruthless at a young age and came from the poison medicine school. A year ago, on the day she completed her training, He poisoned his master to death, inherited the poison doctor sect, used the entire poison doctor sect as a dowry, and proposed to marry the prince Yuan Zhao. At that time, he shocked the entire Wei Dynasty. Everyone thought that the prince Yuan Zhao would not marry him. After all, the crown prince and future queen of the Wei Dynasty could not be a woman from the world, but unexpectedly, the prince Yuan Zhao asked Luo Yan a question, saying that within ten days, if Luo Yan could successfully poison him , he agreed to marry him as the crown prince.
Even though Yuan Zhao was loved and trusted by the Emperor of Wei since childhood, he did not spoil him. On the contrary, he was very up-to-date, talented, talented, and had an extraordinary mind. Any conspiracy or murder would be harmful to him. Can't reach him. Growing up, there were many people among his brothers who wanted to kill him, but no one could succeed.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhao's question came up, everyone felt that Luo Yan had no chance.
But unexpectedly, under the precautions of the prince and everyone around him, it only took three days for Luo Yan to unknowingly poison Yuan Zhao.
When Luo Yan came to the door with a smile and the antidote, Yuan Zhao was said to have been silent for a long time, agreed to the marriage, and asked the emperor to issue an order to inform the Wei Dynasty that the poison doctor Luo Yan would be his crown princess.
Although the Emperor of Wei was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, he still felt that she was really capable and treated her as a Crown Princess. However, he was a little worried, fearing that in the future the Crown Prince would appoint a concubine, Liang Di, as a concubine. She had just entered the house. , and was poisoned to death by Luo Yan.
Yuan Zhao didn't think it was a big problem. He just said that a gentleman's promise is worth tens of thousands of gold. Even if she attacks his backyard in the future, he can only accept it. At worst, he won't have any concubine Liang Di.
It is said that the Emperor of Wei was very speechless at that time and silently issued the imperial edict of marriage.
At that time, when the imperial edict of marriage was issued, people were talking about it for a while, and it also spread to Daliang and Nanchu. However, nothing happened to Luo Yan later. After he got the status of the crown princess, he returned to the poisonous doctor. He opened the door and went to study poison and medicine behind closed doors, without causing any trouble, so much so that the wind blew away and people almost forgot that the Crown Prince of Wei had such a quasi-Crown Concubine.
Now that Yuan Zhao wanted to capture Nanchu, he sent people to the Poison Medicine Sect to invite people to come out to help. Luo Yan followed Yuan Zhao without saying anything, and brought the entire Poison Medicine Sect with him.
Before she came, she naturally brought countless experts in medicine and poison with her.
Luo Yan was born with confidence. She listened to Prince Yuan Zhao discussing war strategies with everyone and remained silent until everyone had finished the discussion. When Yuan Zhao turned to her and asked her if she had any opinions, she opened her mouth and said : "I can sneak into Heiya Pass tonight and poison Su Rong to death."
Yuan Zhao laughed and said, "If she died so easily, I wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to lead troops to Nanchu. Su Rong is good at medicine and pharmacology. I won't allow you to act rashly, so just stay with me. You can do it only if I say to do it."
Luo Yan frowned, a little unhappy, "I just listened for a long time, and the strategy you formulated doesn't involve me at all. Then why did you ask me to help you?"
"No, you are of great use and can be of great help to me, but you can't be impatient. You have to listen to me." Yuan Zhao patted her on the shoulder, "I never do useless work."
"Okay." Luo Yan nodded and was comforted by Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao ordered 800,000 troops to rest for a day, and early the next morning, he started the offensive against Heiya Pass.
Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhu, and Ning Ze took turns to guard the night. During the night, the Wei troops did not attack. At ten o'clock in the morning, the three of them gathered together, each holding a meat bun. They were eating deliciously when they heard the sound from the city gate tower. Someone shouted, "The Wei Dynasty is attacking the city!"
The three of them immediately swallowed the meat buns in their hands and hurriedly ran up the city wall. When they saw it, it turned out that the Wei Dynasty was attacking the city. The attack was fierce. Jiang Zhu immediately ordered people, "Go and report to the princess, the Wei Dynasty is attacking the city." ."
The three of them quickly took their weapons and together with the soldiers resisted Wei's offensive.
In the city, Su Rong and others were busy for half the night, and they took the time to sleep in the second half of the night. After sleeping for two hours, Su Rong got up before dawn, replaced Fengling, let him rest, and personally took the people. City patrol layout.
When he heard the news of the siege, Su Rong immediately rode his horse to the city gate.
After she climbed onto the city wall, she saw that Wei's offensive was really fierce. Wei had set up a ladder, but the soldiers from Nan Chu poured oil on it and set it on fire. However, Wei was not afraid at all and relied on the strength of their numbers to set up a human ladder. There are also crossbowmen, using special crossbow arrows, row after row, to shoot at the Nanchu soldiers guarding the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city in Nanchu also have crossbowmen, but the range of the bows and arrows is not as far as that of the Wei Dynasty. They used their shields to block the side attacks and were very passive for a while. However, many people from the Wei Dynasty used human ladders to climb up the city wall. At the same time, the siege logs kept hitting the city gate, bang bang, dong dong dong, and there was a sound. The sound was loud.
Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhu, and Ning Ze dispatched their troops to fight with others. They were in a hurry and suffered heavy losses. Wei's offensive also shocked the three of them. Even the three of them were almost a little suspicious. Wei was so ferocious. The siege of the city, the crossbows and arrows are so powerful, can they really withstand it for half a month?
It wasn't until Su Rong came to the city wall and saw the situation that her eyes turned cold, and she threw out golden needles from her sleeves, like snowflakes, and saw only dots of stars. Wherever she went, Wei soldiers fell one by one, and then the three of them were allowed to leave. Immediately, he stopped thinking about exaggerating other people's ambitions and destroying his own prestige, and they all concentrated on fighting together.
