Chapter 626 Preparations for war (second update)
Nan Gongzheng led the way, Yuan Zhao led 800,000 soldiers and horses in pursuit all the way, but failed to catch up with Su Rong's soldiers and horses before they entered the Black Cliff Pass.
Yuan Zhao was not surprised at all. If Su Rongneng was chased by him so easily, then she was not worthy of being the princess of Nanchu, let alone the rumors about her.
Nan Gongzheng's complexion was not good, "His Royal Highness, should we take advantage of the hasty deployment of defenses in Heiyaguan and attack the city immediately, or take a rest and formulate a siege strategy?"
Yuan 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?"
Nan Gongzheng couldn't see clearly either, so he asked someone to bring a binoculars. He took a look at it first, but he didn't recognize it, and then handed it to Yuan Zhao, "I don't know it, it must be Wang Nu's subordinates."
Yuan Zhao took the binoculars, looked at it for a while, narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that Nangong Yin taught you to only look at the land of Nanchu, but didn't seriously know the talents of the world. Those three people are not unknown people. They are all from Daliang. If the king is not mistaken, one is Zhang Mao, the eldest son of the General’s Mansion in Northern Hebei, Jiang Zhu, the head of the eighteen villages and ten villages in Daliang, and the second son Ning Ze of the Marquis of Nanping.”
Nangong Zheng was stunned. He had heard the names of these three people, but he did not know them. Although Yuan Zhao said that his grandfather did not teach him to know people outside of Nanchu, it was actually wrong. He did, but, His grandfather thought that he was still young, and some things should not be too urgent. It was because his grandfather was too proud. He didn't expect that the Nangong family would be defeated after meeting Su Rong in a short period of time, so that he had never seen the portraits of these three people, so he didn't know.
"Zhang Mao was planted in the hands of Su Rong and Zhou Gu in the Eighteenth Village. Later, he was captured and had nowhere to go, so he took refuge in Su Rong. It can be seen that Zhang Ping failed for a reason. First of all, he failed in teaching his son. Being stabbed and betrayed by his own son, a legitimate son and a concubine, is really sad and ridiculous, and it is the key to his failure. And Jiang Zhu, the master of the ten villages, among the eighteen village masters in the eighteen villages, the most powerful thing about him is not that he really has His ability lies in his ability to judge the situation better than others, and he can also hide his edge. He is a very smart person. As for the second son of the Nanping Houfu, Ning Ze, this person is purely lucky, and he was involved in the case of the eldest prince in Daliang capital. In the village, he was half-dead by Su Rong in the name of sending him back to the Nanping Hou Mansion under the pretense that the real purpose was to stop Nan Ping Hou from colluding with the Eighteen Villages. However, he did not expect that when he arrived in Nanping, he met Zhang Ping, the general of Northern Hebei, who attacked Nanping, and he was at a loss. So I took refuge in Su Rong, saved a fool, and became a half-smart person, I have to say, Su Rong is good at employing people, even this king admires her."
Nan Gongzheng looked at the figure on the city wall, "His Royal Highness really understands Daliang's talents, but I'm really not as good. There is still a lot to learn."
Yuan Zhao smiled, "This king wants to know the world, of course he knows it well, but unfortunately, Su Rong has grown up too fast. A year ago, she was a little concubine in Jiangning County, Jiangzhou Prefecture, Daliang. I still don't know who she is, she is really a concubine, and the small land of Jiangning County is too small to be seen by this king, so I don't know, there is a daughter of Princess Zhenmin and King Nanchu hidden there. daughter, so that I missed the opportunity to kill her."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Nangong Zheng, "The queen of your Nangong family killed her for five years, but your grandfather and family didn't know about it? It's really ridiculous."
Nangong Zheng said: "Grandpa really didn't know that he had been suppressing the Yexiang Mansion all these years, and my aunt acted in secret, and deliberately kept it from my grandfather. When my grandfather learned about it, he was furious and wanted to kill my aunt. There are countless people, but it is already too late, the hidden guards around the princess are powerful, and she herself is also very skilled in martial arts, so I couldn't kill her."
"It seems that Nangong Xin is not stupid. The person who can deceive your grandfather is not a stupid person. She just loves the King of Nanchu ridiculously. Want to leave him a bloodline to sit on the throne?" Yuan Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Nan Gongzheng shook his head, "I don't know, I never asked my aunt."
Yuan Zhao played with the Buddhist beads on his wrist, put down the binoculars, and said to Nangong Zheng, "Take a rest! In a short time, the Black Cliff Pass is heavily fortified, and the military order is executed. At such a speed, even if you attack the city now, you can't please. After all Our soldiers and horses are also exhausted, so they are not suitable for fighting."
Therefore, Yuanzhao ordered that 800,000 people camp and rest under Heiyaguan.
"Sure enough, they didn't attack the city." Ning Ze said.
Zhang Mao breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the Crown Prince of Wei did not order to attack the city, we must not relax our defenses. We must keep all the guards motivated and alert at all times."
Ning Ze nodded, "That's for sure."
The three of them went down the city wall. Although Wei 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 was defeated and left Nanchu, Heiyaguan was originally a territory controlled by the people of the King of Nanchu, the Nangong family, and the Yexiang Mansion. At Yaguan, only the King of Southern Chu and the people from Yexiang Mansion are left.
So, Su Rong settled in Heiya Pass very smoothly. After stepping into Heiya Pass, he quickly took over all the affairs of Heiya Pass.
Ning Ze said that except for the three of them guarding the city gate, it is actually impossible for everyone to rest. After everyone entered the General Army Yamen, no one went to rest. Ye Guixue called the city guard to learn about the current affairs of Heiyaguan, as well as the remnants of the Nangong family and internal traitors in the city, and how many granaries are still there. etc.
Su Rong, Xie Yuan, Zhou Gu, Zhang Yun and others gathered together to study the combat strategy.
Just keep defending blindly, as Su Rong said, you can persist for half a month at most, and you still have to take the initiative to attack as appropriate, but how to attack, you have to formulate a feasible military plan based on your own advantages.
And Feng Ling led people to strictly arrange and check the defenses everywhere, and he couldn't rest.
Doctor Zhang is not idle with a group of military doctors. What is the most lacking in a war? Of course it's medicine, so hurry up and dig up all the herbs in the city for the war.
She kept telling Su Rong that she couldn't leave, and Shen Yi, who was going to sleep, didn't really sleep. She brought a few people and followed Doctor Zhang and others to find poison and make poison powder. Stained.
Although she has never been to a battlefield in person, she has followed a large number of people along the way, and has never experienced war, but she knows that the poisonous powder is very useful. Once there is any wind, the poisonous powder will be scattered It is also a weapon that can knock down a large area.
