Chapter 487 Fork in the road (one more)
250,000 soldiers and horses went to Longxi County, took shortcuts, marched in a hurry, day and night, and it would take half a month at the fastest.
Leaving Nanping City, after traveling dozens of miles, Su Rong felt that it was impossible to go on like this. When they arrived with reinforcements, Longxi County would have already been destroyed. Perhaps Zhang Ping had already driven straight into the capital with soldiers and horses, but they could only run after Zhang Ping's ass.
She said to Zhou Gu: "You and your third brother, bring one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, go first."
Zhou Gu also felt that it was impossible to continue like this, but he was thinking about what to do. Hearing what Su Rong said, he turned to look at her.
Su Rong said to him: "There is no general in the imperial court. Although your eldest brother is a son and has been in the army since childhood, he lacks experience in the battlefield. He may not have a chance of winning against Zhang Ping, especially in the situation of disparity in strength. Therefore, His Royal Highness should not let him take on this important task. I am afraid that Zhang Ping is cunning and treacherous. After all, Zhang Ping is cunning and treacherous. Presumably he will plan to personally lead troops to fight against Zhang Ping. But the courtiers in the court will definitely not allow it. If His Highness the Crown Prince leaves the capital, no one will be able to suppress all matters in the capital. His Majesty is not in good health, it is not a very important thing, and he is not trusted by the courtiers, so... the last person who leads the troops..."
"It will be my grandfather." Zhou Gu took over the words, "My grandfather is still strong, and he has eaten more salt than Zhang Ping. If he goes out, he will not be afraid of Zhang Ping."
Su Rong nodded, "Yes, it should be the old man who leads the troops, but the old man is old and his experience is not good, especially now that it is snowing and cold, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the long-distance travel and hasty march. Zhang Ping has 250,000 soldiers and horses, and the court is fully prepared. 200,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Ping has sufficient preparations, but the court hastily dispatched troops..."
"The 100,000 Jinglu troops in His Majesty's hands are just the number of people. After so many years, they have been raised and abandoned, so it is not very useful." Zhou Gu said.
"That's it, so you have to go." Su Rong reached out, took out a topographic map, and spread it out, "Take a shortcut and go straight to Changzhou."
Zhou Gu looked down at the topographic map in Su Rong's hand, thought for a moment, and nodded, "You're right, Longxi may have been captured long ago. If you go to Longxi, you may only be able to catch up with Zhang Ping, but if you go straight to Changzhou, it will be different. Maybe you can reconcile with my grandfather immediately."
Su Rong nodded and handed him the topographic map, "Here, let's go."
Zhou Gu took the topographic map, folded it, stuffed it into his arms, pulled Su Rong over, and kissed her with his head down.
Su Rong punched him twice before Zhou Gu let go, and said against the corner of her mouth, "I'm going, be careful, don't let Feng Ling leave your side when I'm not here."
"Understood." Su Rong responded lightly.
Zhou Gu let go of her, turned around, and just about to jump off the carriage, Su Rong held him back, pushed him down, and unceremoniously reached in from his collar.
Zhou Gu was startled, and took a deep breath.
Su Rong met his startled eyes, lowered her head, and kissed his Adam's apple. Zhou Gu suddenly gasped for breath. Su Rong kissed him a few times forcefully, touching the well-proportioned texture with irregular hands, which made Zhou Gu tremble all over, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly, before letting him go, "Let's go this time!"
Zhou Gu clasped her hand, clenched it tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "How can we go here?"
His body changed instantly, how could he go out at this time?
Su Rong poured cold water on him, "Hurry up and save your grandfather, the old Huguogong is waiting for you to save him."
Zhou Gu's whole body was hot and instantly faded away. He sat up, gritted his teeth at Su Rong, and stretched out his hand to pinch her face. He really wanted to use force, but he couldn't bear it, so he could only pinch her angrily, and scolded her, "Bad thing."
Su Rong raised an eyebrow at him, and cursed back, "I learned from you."
Zhou Gu smiled angrily, and said harshly to her, "Just wait."
Su Rong smiled, "Okay."
Wait and wait, whoever is afraid is a puppy.
Unwillingly, Zhou Gu pulled her into his arms again, kissed her twice, let her go, gritted his teeth, and got out of the carriage.
Su Rong licked the corner of her mouth, opened the curtain, and looked out.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Gu rolled up his collar immediately, and shouted in a deep voice, "Midnight, take my horse."
Zi Ye followed behind the car, and immediately stepped forward upon hearing this, and brought Zhou Gu's horse to him.
Zhou Gu got on his horse and went to the rear to find Zhou Che.
Zi Ye hurriedly followed.
Su Rong lifted the curtain to watch the two go away. Not long after, Zhou Che led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, together with Zhou Gu, turned around and separated from Su Rong at the fork in the road ahead.
Feng Ling came to the car on horseback, "Sister, brother-in-law led the troops to divert? Where did you go?"
"Changzhou."
Feng Ling blinked, "Changzhou, take a shortcut, five days at the fastest."
Su Rong let out a "hmm", lowered the curtain, retracted into the carriage, pulled off the quilt, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Feng Ling used to be Su Rong riding a horse, he rode a horse, Su Rong rode a carriage and he rode a carriage, but now, he was embarrassed, but riding a horse was so cold, he slowed down, landed in front of Zhang Mao's carriage behind, and knocked on the carriage.
Zhang Mao immediately lifted the curtain, "Mr. Feng, what's the matter?"
Feng Ling glanced inside and saw Zhang Mao and Ning Ze staying in the carriage. Because Zhang Mao injured his leg, he needed to straighten his legs. Therefore, taking up more than half of the carriage, plus Ning Ze, he could barely stay there. He had no choice but to give up, "It's okay."
He was a few steps behind and knocked on Jiang Zhu's carriage.
Jiang Zhu slowly opened the curtain of the car, looked at Feng Ling, "Mr. Feng?"
Feng Ling saw that he was the only one in the carriage, and the layout was very comfortable, so he jumped off the horse bluntly, and got into his carriage neatly, "Mr. Jiang, borrow a space."
Jiang Zhu smiled, "Mr. Feng is polite, please go ahead."
Feng Ling found a comfortable position, rubbed his hands and said, "It's too cold to ride a horse today. My sister's carriage is the most comfortable, but it used to be the past, and now it is now. I can no longer share a carriage with her. Last time I approached my sister and whispered a few words to my sister. My brother-in-law didn't say anything in person, but when he asked me to practice swords later, he was so ruthless, don't mention it. Hey, I can only disturb Mr. Jiang."
He said, very melancholy, "People who have a marriage certificate are different, and they can't be provoked."
Jiang Zhu can understand it very well, because before he knew Su Rong, he had seen Zhou Gu's domineering and protective food. He was a man who was on the defensive. He said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is young, but anyone who dares to provoke him will really die."
Feng Ling kept nodding, "That's right."
He whispered: "Others can't be messed with, but my sister can. My sister used to bully others... Hey, it's good now, Feng Shui takes turns."
Jiang Zhu was clever enough to know that he was talking about the time when he was retiring the engagement, so he whispered: "Brother Feng, tell me about the Second Young Master Ye of Nanchu, so that I can understand. After all, we will be dealing with people in the future."
