MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 582 worried (two more)
Chapter 582 Worried (second update)
The two of them were talking and entered Ye Guixue's camp.
Ye Guixue was being supported by someone to sit up from the bed, and was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Su Rong, "Just lie down, the injury is so serious, the wound has not healed, so don't toss about."
Ye Guixue paused for a while, but didn't insist any more, "Thank you, Princess."
Su Rongxiao, "When I was in Daliang, I never saw you being so polite."
Ye Guixue also laughed, "Being honored by the princess for saving her life, it is naturally not the same."
Su Rong sat down and heard the words and replied to him, "That's the reason."
Because of Zhou Gu's life-saving grace, she was asked by him to give her a handwritten marriage letter. Now that Ye Guixue has saved her life, Ye Xiangfu's family will really pay her back in the future.
"I think the princess brought Daliang's soldiers and horses." Ye Guixue leaned on the soft pillow and asked a question, "The princess asked Daliang to borrow soldiers and horses to come to Southern Chu?"
"Yes, Your Majesty Daliang and the Crown Prince are so generous that they borrowed 300,000 troops for me." Su Rong nodded, "I just stepped into the border of Southern Chu, and after inquiring about the situation in Southern Chu, I realized that your place is not in good shape, so I ordered 50,000 cavalry to come with me to rescue you first."
Ye Guixue was shocked, "Three hundred thousand soldiers?"
Ye Xiang and Mrs. Ye were also shocked.
Ye Xiang asked in surprise: "Why did His Majesty Daliang and the Crown Prince borrow such a generous sum from the Queen?"
300,000 soldiers and horses is really not a small number. You must know that the Nangong family asked the Great Wei Crown Prince Yuanzhao to borrow troops once, and it was only 50,000. As for the entire Southern Chu Kingdom, the number of soldiers raised is similar to this number. Are His Majesty Daliang and the Crown Prince wanting the princess to capture Southern Chu with the same force? But it's too generous, right?
"Master Ye should know that Zhang Ping is plotting rebellion, right?" Su Rong looked at Ye Xiang, "Zhang Ping raised 450,000 soldiers and horses in private, 350,000 of which exceeded the number of soldiers and horses that should be raised according to the court regulations. These soldiers and horses returned to the court after Zhang Ping's sudden death, but the court couldn't afford the extra soldiers and horses, so I borrowed them from the court." Raising troops in a disguised form is a win-win situation for both sides. His Majesty Daliang and the Crown Prince are very happy, and the important officials in the court also feel that this move is very good."
"So that's how it is." Ye knew Daliang a little bit, and suddenly he didn't find it strange when he heard the words.
"In that case, I'm really thankful for Daliang's soldiers and horses, and the princess is wise." Ye Guixue didn't expect that when he went to Nanchu with the tiger amulet of 100,000 soldiers and horses, he was still very helpless when she insisted on returning the tiger amulet and gave up. But in just a few months, she brought 300,000 soldiers and horses back to Nanchu.
He believed that with these 300,000 troops, no matter how powerful the Nangong family was, it would be no problem.
Ye Xiang also really admired Su Rong at this time. At such a young age, he was able to gain the trust of His Majesty Daliang, the crown prince, and courtiers, lending 300,000 soldiers and horses, which is very humanly possible. He asked: "Did the princess sign an agreement with Daliang?"
"It's signed, do you want to see it?" Su Rong asked him.
Ye Xiang cupped his hands, "If it's convenient for the princess, the old minister will take a look."
From the first time they met, he paid respects to Su Rong and called himself a veteran, so he already recognized Su Rong.
Su Rongxiao, "Ye Xiang is an important minister of the king's humerus, so naturally he should see it."
The agreement she signed with Daliang was always with her, and it was placed in a light box. She took it out and handed it to Ye Xiang.
Ye Xiang took it with his hand, and after reading the agreement printed with Su Rong's seal and privately sealed by Liang Yuxi, the emperor, and the prince, he respectfully handed it back to Su Rong, "The queen and daughter have lofty goals, and the terms of the agreement are fair, which is very good."
Su Rong took it casually, and handed it to Ye Guixue.
Ye Guixue took it, and after reading it, said with a smile: "The military pay of the 300,000 soldiers and horses is a big expense. To tell you the truth, the princess, although Southern Chu is rich, the national treasury has been exhausted since the civil turmoil broke out this year. It is also a great pressure for us to add the 300,000 soldiers and horses in Southern Chu."
Prime Minister Ye didn't wait for Su Rong to speak, and immediately said: "What's the situation now? It's just right to have these 300,000 soldiers and horses. Even if the pressure is high, you can't return it. The civil strife needs to be ended as soon as possible. When the situation in the court is stable and the people's livelihood is restored as soon as possible, it will not be too much pressure."
Su Rong nodded, "I have given an order to rest for a day today, and tomorrow we will set off for the capital. First control the capital, and then eradicate the Nangong family."
"There is also the grandson of King Chuqian of Liu'an." Ye Xiang said.
Su Rong nodded, "Of course he is indispensable."
"Princess, do you have any news about Your Majesty and Prince Zhou?" Ye Guixue asked.
Su Rong shook his head, "Not yet, the prince's secrets have been eradicated by the forces of the Nangong family. All I know is that they are heading towards the Great Wei."
Ye Guixue nodded, a little worried, "After I left Beijing, I planned to bring troops to the Daliang border to meet the princess, and at the same time send people to disturb the Nangong family to find the traces of the king and Prince Zhou, but I didn't expect that the Nangong family sent troops too quickly, and dispatched the elite soldiers of the Great Wei. In this way, I was overwhelmed by myself, and it was tantamount to blocking the news from the outside world."
"No news is good news." Su Rong said: "I believe Zhou Gu, if he is not sure, he will not take the king to leave the capital."
It's just that certainty and danger coexist. With all the forces of the Nangong family mobilized, one can imagine how difficult it would be for them to hide and be hunted down.
Ye Xiang suddenly said: "Your Majesty has privately raised 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiling. If they are in danger, they should go to Xiling."
Ye Guixue was taken aback, he didn't know this, "Father, when did the king raise fifty thousand soldiers and horses in private?"
"Five years ago, I made the same decision as when I was cultivating you." Ye Xiang said: "Because this matter is hidden from the courtiers and the Nangong family, as few people as possible should know about it, so apart from the king, only I know about it."
Ye Guixue breathed a sigh of relief, "If the king can be safely brought to Xiling by Mr. Zhou, with soldiers and horses in hand, he should be more relaxed."
Su Rong felt relieved when he heard this. It turned out that the king of Nanchu also raised soldiers and horses privately, which was an extra guarantee.
One day later, 150,000 soldiers and horses set off for the king's capital.
Su Rong didn't ride a horse, but sat in a carriage. Qin Ruo showed Su Rong the registration booklet. After reading it, Su Rong nodded to him, "Feng Ling has been resting for a day, but you haven't rested all this time. Your eyes are red. We are not in a hurry now. Go back to the carriage and have a good sleep."
Qin Ruo nodded, and said to Su Rong: "I'm worried about Brother Zhou. Prince Yuanzhao of Great Wei can lend 50,000 troops to the Nangong family, and then he can lend troops to the Nangong family. Brother Zhou took the king to the direction of Dawei. Even if there are 50,000 troops in Xiling, I don't feel at ease. Don't forget, Wang Daughter, that the prince of Wei was Chen Bing on the southern border of Chu, and he had prepared 500,000 troops. Once they are found, it will be too dangerous."
Monthly pass, okay?
