Zhou Shen and Zhou Che led 200,000 troops and rested for a day at Heiya Pass, and on the second day, Su Rong ordered the army to leave Heiya Pass and go to Dawei.

Yuan Zhao, the crown prince of Great Wei, didn't know that he left on the front foot, and three days later, Su Rong actually left the Black Cliff Pass, not returning to the royal capital of Southern Chu, but waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements of Daliang, and then led the troops to follow behind his ass and attack his Great Wei.

After he returned to the border of Great Wei with the army, he had not yet ordered anyone to investigate the situation of Great Wei after he left, but he received an urgent report sent to him by Helan Ying.

After he opened the emergency report, his face changed, and he learned that ten days ago, the old protector of Daliang took 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Rongcheng, the border city of Great Wei garrisoned by Helan Ying, and he left 100,000 soldiers and horses that day, just to guard against Daliang, but he didn't expect that Daliang sent the old protector, and as soon as he arrived at the border, he led the army to launch an attack on Dawei.

There is no need for Yuan Zhao to be lucky, and the psychology is also clear, if He Lanying's 100,000 soldiers and horses are serious about fighting against the old protector, they are not the opponent of the old protector, Helanying is too immature after all, how can she be as good as the battle-hardened old protector? Especially in the case of the disparity in troops, he can hold out for three or five days at most.

Now that ten days have passed, it is conceivable that the old protector is afraid that he will take the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang to capture Rongcheng and drive straight in.

Because the 800,000 soldiers and horses in the Great Wei Dynasty were taken away by him, except for the border Rongcheng left 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard, and the King of Great Wei left 300,000 troops to prevent other princes from making trouble, other cities, there are not many soldiers and horses, as few as thousands, and as many as 20,000.

He originally wanted to make a time difference, and before Da Liang got the news of his attack on Southern Chu, he could take Southern Chu by surprise. But who would have thought that his attack on Nanchu would be so time-consuming and laborious, and he lost six siege guns, but he failed to kill Su Rong, let alone cross the Black Cliff Pass.

Yuan Zhao's face was gloomy, "Leave 200,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Dingnan City, Helan Du, you stay." The rest of the soldiers and horses marched with the king to the front. ”

He estimated the time, and now the old protector of the country, I am afraid that he has already captured three or four cities.

Helan decided to immediately say: "Your Highness, the minister should follow you, Nan Chu should not make any moves in a short period of time, Su Rong was exhausted by our beating, how can she make waves?" ”

"You stay, there are lessons from the past of the girder, and I really don't feel at ease." Yuan Zhao said: "Don't underestimate Su Rong. ”

"Okay!" Helan could only bow his head, "The minister obeys the order." ”

As a result, Helan decided to bring 200,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Dingnan City, the border between Great Wei and Southern Chu. Yuan Zhao rushed to the front line with 550,000 soldiers and horses.

A few days later, the urgent report of the imperial court was belated, and it was also delivered to him, which said that the Great Wei had lost seven cities in a row, and his father sent the second prince Yuanchen, leading 300,000 soldiers and horses, to take away the only two remaining siege cannons to intercept the old protector.

Yuan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, although he looked down on his younger brother Yuanchen, he still had to admit that Yuanchen was a person who took care of the overall situation, and he would not ignore the Great Wei Jiangshan because of his ambition in private.

There was a lag in the letter, he estimated the time, and when the urgent report arrived in his hands, Yuanchen should have already confronted the old protector and intercepted the old protector.

He was too tired from the journey for days, and the soldiers were already sleepy, so he relaxed a little, and ordered to camp on the spot, rest for the night, and not to hurry tonight.

The three armies were ordered to camp on the spot.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Zhao was sleeping, and suddenly there was an urgent report, "Your Highness, the flying eagle is passing the book." ”

Yuan Zhao sat up suddenly, "Send it in." ”

The internal guard sent a letter to Yuan Zhao, Yuan Zhao opened it, his face changed greatly, this letter is Yuan Chen's letter, the letter said, Liang Prince Yan echo, lead 200,000 troops, reinforcement of the old protector of the country, Prince Yan echo around the master like a cloud, the master around him is not as good as the Liang Prince Yan echo, he can't protect the two siege guns at all, after the siege artillery was destroyed, it still fell into the hands of the Liang to study, Helan Ying ordered people to completely destroy the siege artillery, and he himself was also killed by Yuan Zhao and died on the battlefield.

Helan Ying died, the two siege guns had been destroyed, he had a premonition that he might not be able to defend Qiangli City, so he quickly asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to save Great Wei.

Yuan Zhao clutched the letter tightly, he didn't expect that the Great Liang Prince Yan Echo would personally lead troops to attack Dawei, and this letter could reach him as quickly as possible, but it had been five days. In the past five days, Yuanchen is afraid that he will be beaten and retreated.

He immediately gritted his teeth, "Order the three armies, pull out the camp and set off, march quickly, and go to the Blue Bay River." ”

It must be too late for him to rush to Qiangli City now, so he can only rush to the Lanwan River, hoping that in the Lanwan River, he can stop the soldiers and horses of Daliang.

As soon as the army walked up, there was an urgent report, "His Royal Highness the Prince, General Helan has an urgent report." ”

Yuan Zhaoxin gave a "sigh", stretched out his hand, took the urgent report in his hand, opened it and took a look, sure enough, it was Helan Du's urgent report, the urgent report said that five days ago, Su Rong took 650,000 troops to attack Dingnan City, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses left by His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he defended Dingnan City, all the 200,000 soldiers and horses were folded in, he was probably not Su Rong's opponent.

Su Rong is very powerful, Helan has fought with Yuan Zhao for so long, and she knows very well that this princess of Southern Chu is not a soft persimmon at all. Otherwise, he would not have just withdrawn his troops from Southern Chu as soon as the prince came, and she would have come back to fight Dingnan City of Great Wei.

If there is revenge, it will be avenged, and it is still the present world, which is too fast.

Yuan Zhao almost gritted his teeth, and the prince of Liang Yan echoed, there are 400,000 soldiers and horses, even if they have been damaged in the past few days, I am afraid that they will not be damaged much, and Yuanchen is there, whether the number of 300,000 soldiers and horses can be preserved now, it is difficult to say.

If he wants to repel Yan Echo and the old protector of the country, and recapture the city captured by Daliang, I am afraid that at least 600,000 soldiers and horses will be needed.

And now, he has 550,000 soldiers and horses.

So, he immediately ordered, "Nangong Zheng, you take 150,000 soldiers and horses, return to Dingnancheng, and return to Helan to decide, you don't need to defeat Su Rong, you just need to stabilize the situation for this king, and don't let Nanchu step into an inch of land, and this king will bring 400,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Yuanchen and fight against Daliang." ”

"Yes." Nangong Zheng took the order.

Luo Yan's injuries were half healed, and he came to the front at this time, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I want to go with Nangong Zheng." ”

Yuan Zhao shook his head, "You follow this king." ”

Luo Yan said: "I want to kill Zhou Gu, kill Su Rong, and avenge Red Eagle." ”

"You can't kill them. Now Nangong Zheng is going to save Helan Duel, only defending and not attacking, you are obedient and follow this king. Yuan Zhao said: "Daliang Prince Yan echo, very powerful, this king needs you." Killing Yan Echo also damaged Nan Chu's help. ”

Luo Yan bit his lip, "Okay! ”
