Drunk House

  Chapter 583 Awakening (one more)

  Su Rong woke up.

  Actually, when she first got the news, she also felt that Zhou Gu was taking too much risk.

  Although it is not safe to stay in the capital if it is not risky, it is not necessarily safe to take risks, but it also makes people feel uneasy.

  The forces of the Nangong family are out in force, not the crown prince's hidden stakes can withstand it, and the Yexiang mansion was chased and intercepted by troops, and almost died in this valley, so there is no time for him to take care of him.

  In this way, how difficult is it for Zhou Gu to take the King of Southern Chu and hide in Tibet?

  Especially the king of Nanchu has been doing nothing for many years. After he wakes up, when planning for her daughter, under the eyes of the Nangong family, the available manpower can only be obtained through the Yexiang Mansion, and the power cultivated is probably negligible. It is not easy to raise 50,000 soldiers and horses with Ye Xiang in private.

  Su Rong frowned, "Before I came to Nanchu, I always thought that the king of Nanchu and Yexiang would not be too passive after planning for five years. I really didn't expect..."

  If she had known the situation in Nanchu earlier, under the pressure of the Nangong family and King Liu'an, the Nangong family had even borrowed 50,000 elite soldiers from the Great Wei Crown Prince Yuanzhao, and she was almost powerless to fight back.

   "There are also Han Yin and the 40,000 elite soldiers of the Great Wei who have been let go." Qin Ruo said: "This Han Yin knows that you have brought soldiers to Southern Chu, and should soon find out that there are still a large number of soldiers behind you. In this way, he is afraid that he will not dare to flee to the capital of Southern Chu, and he should go directly back to Great Wei. Then, Prince Yuan Zhao of the Great Wei will also get news. What if Chen Bing's 500,000 soldiers on the border of Southern Chu invaded Southern Chu? Chu, we haven't adapted to the climate and landforms of Southern Chu, so we might not be able to beat them."

  Su Rong sat up straight and shivered.

  Even though Qin Ruo didn’t sleep for two days and nights, he still calmly analyzed with Su Rong, “The princess stepped into Southern Chu and conquered 30,000 soldiers and horses, and now she has conquered 100,000 soldiers and horses, adding up to 430,000 soldiers and horses. The king and Ye Xiang raised 50,000 private soldiers, and if they add up, it is 480,000 soldiers and horses. This number can barely compete with the soldiers and horses of Great Wei. But Xiaoshi, Prince Liang’s power has been wiped out all over the place. We don’t know if the King of Southern Chu still has a hole in his hand. You didn’t hear Ye Xiang mention it. Compared with these three families, the king has not many forces available. In this way, if the Great Wei invades Southern Chu, the Nangong family and the clan will cooperate well.

  Su Rong listened quietly, "You are right, even if there are 300,000 troops, if you count the 500,000 troops of the Great Wei Chen Bing, the prospects are indeed not optimistic."

  Su Rong sighed, "Saving the Yexiang Mansion, with these soldiers and horses in hand, I thought the Nangong family and King Liu'an were nothing to be afraid of, but now I am really woken up by you."

  She looked at Qin Ruo and praised him, "Well done, luckily I brought you here."

  Qin Ruo couldn't hold back, smiled, and said: "From now on, my future depends on the princess, so naturally I have to think a lot about the princess."

  Su Rong also laughed, "Then tell me, what should we do? Should we ask Daliang to borrow troops again? I'm afraid it won't work?"

  How can I borrow again and again? Even if the prince agrees, the emperor probably won't agree.

   Already borrowed 300,000 soldiers and horses, besides, she was too embarrassed to speak.

   "First, send a letter to Prince Liang, not to borrow troops, but ask him to send another 200,000 troops to the border of Southern Chu. Once Prince Yuanzhao of Great Wei dares to bring 500,000 troops into Southern Chu, please ask Daliang to reinforce him immediately. After pondering for a long time, now after analyzing with Su Rong, I gave her three notes in one breath.

   "Okay!" Su Rong clapped her hands, "That's it."

  She immediately took out the topographic map, spread it out on the table, and looked at it with Qin Ruo, "We rested for a day, but Han Yin's soldiers and horses had to rest after they escaped. Seeing that I hadn't chased after him all day and midnight, he thought I would stop chasing him. Maybe he would relax his vigilance, thinking that I wouldn't chase him hard. In this way, after he relaxes, he must not go fast. Now we just need to discuss it and see which way he takes the 40,000 soldiers and horses. Where is the road that Wei must pass, let's take a shortcut and catch up."

   "This topographic map may not be the most detailed. The landforms of Southern Chu are many mountains, forests, streams, mountains, roads, and canyons." Qin Ruo said: "Prince, why don't you invite Mr. Ye Er, he was born and raised in Southern Chu, and he is an authentic Southern Chu person. He has many people and has skills. Maybe he can give a shortcut that is not known on this topographic map."

  Su Rong thinks it makes sense, she has a topographic map, and Han Yin also has it. Han Yin was able to be sent by Yuan Zhao to Southern Chu to entrust him with important tasks, so he has certain skills. It can be seen from the fact that he ordered the retreat immediately when he saw her coming to rescue.

  She immediately said: "Master Ye Er is seriously injured, you and I go to his carriage? Don't let him come over."

  Qin Ruo nodded. It is the honor of the courtier that the princess is sympathetic to the courtier. Such a princess will surely be able to subdue all the courtiers of Southern Chu in the future and be loved by others.

  Su Rong put away the topographic map, ordered someone to stop, got out of the carriage with him, and went to the carriage behind Ye Guixue.

  Ye Guiyan has woken up and is talking with him in Ye Guixue's carriage. After he woke up, he had already met Su Rong. He was not as good-looking as Ye Guixue, but he was not much worse. He was a few years older, and he had an elder brother temperament that Ye Guixue didn't have.

  Hearing that Su Rong had something to do, the two brothers stopped talking immediately, the carriage stopped, Ye Guixue stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and saw Su Rong and Qin Ruo standing behind her, he had never seen Qin Ruo, but since he woke up, he had been mentioned about him, saying that there was a son named Qin beside the princess, the son of Qin Yuan, the former censor of Daliang, and now he and Feng Ling were handling all matters in the army together.

  He guessed Qin Ruo's identity immediately, and immediately said: "Prince, Mr. Qin, please get in the car."

  Su Rong nodded, and together with Qin Ruo, got into Ye Guixue's carriage.

  After the two got into the car, Ye Guiyan got up to meet him. Su Rong stopped him and introduced Qin Ruo to the two, "This is Qin Ruo. Before I left Daliang, I specially invited Mr. Qin who was beside me."

  Ye Guixue and Ye Guiyan immediately greeted Qin Ruo again.

  After Su Rong and Qin Ruo sat down, they straight to the point to Ye Guixue, explaining the purpose of their visit.
