Chapter 614 Congratulations (second update)
On the second day, Su Rong woke up, it was getting late.
When she stepped out of the tent, she saw soldiers lighting a fire and cooking, and the entire barracks was full of fireworks.
She rubbed her flat belly, and then remembered that she fell asleep because she didn't eat yesterday, and no one woke her up afterwards.
She went to Zhou Gu's tent, but there was no one inside, so she came out again and asked a soldier, "Where's Zhou Gu? Where did he go?"
Xiao Bing replied, "Young Master went to see Mr. Xie early in the morning on Thursday."
Su Rong nodded, and asked again, "When did he sleep last night?"
Xiao Bing stayed outside the tent all the time, and replied: "My lord, after you left, Master went to the Zhongjun tent to discuss matters with several princes on Thursday. When he came back half an hour later, he fell asleep."
Su Rong nodded, "I see."
She smiled, knowing that he wouldn't be able to sleep after she left last night.
She waved to Xiao Bing and found Xie Yuan's tent.
There were only Xie Yuan and Zhou Gu in Xie Yuan's camp. When she arrived, she was just in time for the food camp to deliver the food. As soon as it was served on the table, she ordered, "Give me another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Someone responded immediately, and hurried to go.
Su Rong sat down, looked at Xie Yuan, then at Zhou Gu, seeing that the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, she also felt very relaxed and asked Xie Yuan, "Uncle Xie, how did you sleep last night?"
"It's okay." Xie Yuan glanced at her, "It's just that you didn't blame me for not being able to sleep."
Su Rong immediately showed a thick-skinned look of mourning, "I can't sleep alone, and it took me a long time to fall asleep."
Xie Yuan didn't look at it, "It's unseemly, how many people's eyes are watching, you live together before you get married, what kind of words do you spread? It seems like I didn't teach you the rules."
Su Rong let out a "huh", "I've become a princess, aren't my rules called rules?"
Xie Yuan ignored him and asked Zhou Gu, "Do you think she is right?"
Zhou Gu immediately shook his head, did not look at Su Rong, and resolutely stated, "I think what Uncle Xie said is more correct. I was just about to tell you. You know Xiaoqi's temper. How much patience does she have? Let's go back to the capital How do you feel about getting married right away?"
Su Rong turned her head to look at Zhou Gu, thinking, yes, yes, I really know who the elders are, and will take the opportunity to propose a marriage.
Xie Yuan nodded, not embarrassing him, "Well, that's fine, get married as soon as possible, and start a career as soon as possible."
Zhou Gu Huanxi, "Thank you, Uncle."
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu with admiration, wondering what happened this morning? Let these two people talk so harmoniously.
Zhou Gu first served a bowl of porridge for Xie Yuan, and then another bowl for Su Rong. Before he could serve it for himself, Su Rong pressed his hand and put it down, and served him a bowl of porridge by himself.
Zhou Gu smiled and was in a great mood.
Xie Yuan glanced at the two, "It's rare to be able to understand each other and support each other. But it's easy for a while, but difficult for a lifetime, you two have to think about it."
Zhou Gu immediately said, "Naturally."
Su Rong also nodded, "Uncle Xie, don't worry! We are not children, we know what we want."
Xie Yuan was gratified, "I have indeed grown up."
After breakfast, the three of them sat in the room drinking tea, Xie Yuan said to Su Rong: "It stands to reason that you should go to the capital immediately, but Ye Guixue is right to think about it, Prince Yuanzhao of the Great Wei, whether it is for Daliang, Still facing Nan Chu, secretly plotting disasters and tossing two rounds, but failed. He must be very suffocated in his heart. Chu is back to life, and it will be difficult for Great Wei if he wants to invade again."
Su Rong said: "Anyway, my father and Ye Xiang have already set off to return to the capital, and I'm not in a hurry to go back. Why don't we just stay at the border for a few more days, while rectifying the training of troops, while watching the situation of Da Wei. Once Da Wei mobilizes troops, we will It is also possible to fight in time, if the Great Wei does not move troops, it would be better, then find out the current situation of the scattered states and counties, let the court get on the right track as soon as possible, and let the damage suffered by Nanchu recover as soon as possible."
Xie Yuan nodded, "It's two hundred miles away from the border, from today, let's march forward!"
"Should we wait for the large group of people behind?" Zhou Gu said: "Jiang Zhu, Zhang Mao and others have sent news, and they are only two hundred miles away. Two days away."
"Fortunately, Nangong Zheng was young but not impulsive, so he withdrew his troops. Otherwise, they would have come so slowly. If they really fought, the damage would have been serious." Su Rong sighed, "Why are they so slow?"
"It's not too late. The soldiers in Daliang have just arrived, and they are not familiar with the climate change in Southern Chu, so they are easy to adapt to the climate. I got the news that if there is no Doctor Zhang in the army, and the forests in Southern Chu are dense and the herbs are abundant, the itinerary for this large number of soldiers and horses It needs to be slower." Zhou Gu said: "The reason why the 50,000 cavalry you brought didn't show acclimatization is because the training of the cavalry itself is different from that of the infantry, and they are physically stronger in all aspects. Along the way, I have been trained by you, so I didn't slow down your journey."
"Then wait for two days!" Xie Yuan said: "I see that the soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty brought by Nangong Zheng don't feel any discomfort."
"I have already learned that over the years, Prince Yuanzhao of the Great Wei Dynasty has secretly colluded with the Nangong family for a long time. He is well aware of the mountainous terrain of Southern Chu, and the soldiers have also undergone special training. If it weren't for Nangong Zheng for the Nangong family, And being bluffed by a large number of soldiers and horses behind us, it really didn't end well yesterday." Zhou Gu has been in Southern Chu for so long, and Zhang Yun is not busy in vain, fighting and killing all the way, but he also learned a lot.
Su Rongdao: "So, attacking the heart is the most important thing. You guys came just in time yesterday. I will hand over the negotiation to Gui Xue."
Zhou Gu suddenly asked: "Brother Guixue is in Southern Chu, what kind of official position is it?"
"The official residence is the fourth-rank minister of the official department." Xie Yuan said.
"So, you should call him Mr. Ye, or Ye Shilang." Zhou Gu said seriously to Su Rong: "Don't return to Xue one by one, it seems so close."
Su Rong: "..."
She got used to shouting and neglected it.
She nodded, "Success."
Seeing that she was obedient, Zhou Gu poured her another cup of tea, "Drink it! It's not hot."
Su Rong nodded, took tea to drink, and continued the topic just now, "If you want to know the situation in various parts of Southern Chu as soon as possible, you have to send someone to order the specific situation in each prefecture, county, and county to find out quickly. We must also hurry up to prepare food, grass and military pay , if there is a war with Wei, it will not be a small fight like today, there must be enough food and grass, and there must be no shortage of armaments."
Zhou Gudao: "The Nangong family withdrew, took away everything that could be taken away, and those who could not be taken away, must have been destroyed. The Nangong family is very powerful in Nanchu, and now they are defeated and withdraw. The loss to Nanchu is unacceptable. Estimate. We must prepare as soon as possible, so as not to fight an uncertain battle.”
