Chapter 609 peace talks
Nan Gongzheng wanted to take a gamble and kill Su Rong and Xie Yuan to avenge his grandfather.
But the price of revenge is that he will pay for the lives of all the members of the Nangong family. Before Su Rong's reinforcements arrive, he packs up Su Rong's 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses, traps her and strangles her here.
He asked himself, can it be done?
He has 300,000 soldiers and horses. If it is a gamble, how long will it take to do it.
While he was meditating, there was the sound of trampling horseshoes 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 said again: "Not many, probably less than 100,000 soldiers."
Ye Guixue and Nangong Yun fought in Fengming Mountain, 50,000 soldiers and horses, at most like Nangong Yun, left 40,000, and the soldiers and horses in Zhou Gu's hands were captured in the death valley of Wanren Mountain to conquer King Liu'an Soldiers and horses, forty-five thousand, add up, it is really not enough for one hundred thousand.
But there are less than 100,000 soldiers, but now they have become Su Rong's great help. It would not be easy for Nangong Zheng to strangle her and these soldiers. And she also has a large number of soldiers and horses coming, it is still unknown who will die in the end.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, the soldiers and horses behind her gradually appeared, and the banner of "Southern Chu" was clear. It was Ye Guixue and Zhou Guhui who came together. Su Rong's guess was right, no more, no less, 85,000.
When the reinforcements arrived, they were all startled when they saw the flag of Wei and 300,000 soldiers and horses, and accelerated their speed.
Ye Guixue's injuries were not yet fully healed, so she stayed in the carriage with Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun. It took some time for him to reconcile with Zhou Guhui, so he was a hundred li behind Nangong Yun's troops. There was a gap of half a day in time.
Zhou Gu was seriously injured, and he had to travel for several days. Fortunately, he was given good medicine to support him, and Zhang Yun was the same. Now the two of them can't walk independently, and they still need someone to support them when they walk. Sun lay in the carriage to recuperate.
As the team approached, Zhou Gu raised the curtain of the car, poked his head out from the carriage, looked at the dark Wei soldiers in front of him, and said nothing.
Zhang Yun also poked his head out, took a look, took a breath, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, we came in time."
While the two of them were talking, Ye Guixue had already got off the carriage, walked up to Su Rong, and bowed her hands, "Princess."
Su Rong smiled at him, "Guixue, you came in time."
Ye Guixue also showed a smile, "Not only me, but also Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhang. They reconciled with me and came here."
Su Rong nodded and said to him, "I'm negotiating with Nangong Zheng right now. You're here just in time. You should be better at negotiating than me." She pointed, "I have no intention of negotiating with Nangong Zheng now." Fight hard, you talk to him about using all the members of the Nangong family in exchange for Uncle Xie’s life, and I will also let the Nangong family go and let him take the Nangong family to withdraw from Nanchu and join the Great Wei. If he dares to take another step with Wei's soldiers and horses, I will kill him soon."
Su Rong handed over the matter to Ye Guixue, and was unwilling to talk to Nangong Zheng any more. She threw herself at Zhou Gu with all her heart, and immediately walked towards the carriage where he was.
Nangong Zheng saw that Su Rong was leaving, and Ye Guixue was walking towards him, his face was tense, "Second Master Ye."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Mr. Zheng, the princess still has 300,000 soldiers on the way. The princess told me just now that she has no intention of fighting you hard. She exchanged the lives of all the members of the Nangong family for the life of Mr. Xie. She let the Nangong family go, and you withdrew your troops from Nanchu with the Nangong family, and let you join the Great Wei. If you bring the Great Wei soldiers to attack again in the future, the princess will not tolerate it."
Nangong Zheng sullenly said, "Are I letting the princess go, or is the princess letting my Nangong family go? I'm afraid the princess is wrong. Although the princess still has 300,000 soldiers and horses, she is only on the road and will come in a while. No. And the princess has only less than 150,000 in her hand, so if it really comes down to fighting, she will not be my opponent."
Ye Guixue said: "Young Master Zheng has indeed doubled the number of soldiers and horses, but are you sure that you will let all the members of the Nangong family die here? If you keep the green hills, you will not worry about no firewood. If your Nangong family is wiped out at one stroke, then you But in this world, the only orphan of the Nangong family, no matter how talented you are, without the support of your clan, even if you join the Great Wei, how far can you go?"
He looked at Nangong Zheng, "Mr. Zheng is not a child anymore. Weighing the pros and cons is something you have learned since childhood. You should understand that the members of the Nangong family are the foundation of your Nangong family for hundreds of years. Now, why talk about the Nangong family standing up for the world? The Nangong family rebelled against the king and the queen, and did not hesitate to break up. What is it for? Is it for the extermination of the family? "
Seeing that Nangong Zheng was sullen and silent, he said calmly: "If Mr. Zheng wants to have a fierce battle with the princess, then the princess will definitely accompany her. It is still unknown who will win the battle. I hope Mr. Zheng will not regret it."
Nangong Zheng clenched his palms tightly, waves of pain spread to his heart, and he remained silent.
Ye Guixue was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for him to make a decision.
On the other side, Su Rong had already arrived in front of Zhou Gu's carriage. She looked at the two heads protruding from the carriage, and couldn't help laughing, "Are you still injured?"
Otherwise, they wouldn't all stay obediently in the carriage, instead of getting out of the carriage and running out to show their faces like snow returning at night.
Zhou Gu let out a "hmm" and looked at her with good eyes.
Zhang Yun rubbed his nose, "Well, princess, what did Nangong Zheng say?"
"He will agree to peace talks." Su Rong said.
If Nangong Zheng was an impulsive person, he would order someone to kill him the moment he chased after her. He didn't kill her when he saw her eating roasted rabbits, and he didn't kill her when he talked to her later. Now she has reinforcements coming. With more bargaining 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 so tired that he was crazy, and he didn't want to fight anymore. Nangong Zheng is best for peace talks, let him go, let him go, what does it matter if all the members of the Nangong family are gone, anyway, there is not much difference between leaving one and hundreds of them, 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 to help him get out of the car and make room for Su Rong and Zhou Gu to talk.
Zhou Gu was satisfied with Zhang Yun's wit and insight. After he was helped away, he grabbed Su Rong's wrist and whispered to her, "Get in the car."
Su Rong glanced at him with a smile, obeyed him, and got into the carriage with the strength of his hand.
As soon as the car curtain fell, she was pulled into Zhou Gu's arms before she could sit still.
