Sheng Nancy remembered that the author of the original book mentioned this Xirong Regent.

But according to the original book, the Southern Qi Kingdom had not yet been in chaos, and the Xirong people did not have the courage to launch such a large-scale sneak attack. This country did not appear in the first half of the original book.

It was not until Gu Yuancheng later seized power in Beichen and confronted the Xirong people that there was a description of them.

After hearing what she said, the little boy thought about it carefully before saying:

"Yes, it is true. The Xirong Regent King is the youngest son of the previous Rong King. Because the Rong King had drunkenly visited slaves, he was not well-liked by the old Rong King."

"This man is extremely cunning. He guessed early on that his third brother might become the next King Rong, and he flattered him since he was young to gain his trust. After the previous King Rong, his third brother, died suddenly, the young King Rong ascended the throne. He hid in secret for decades, and only launched a coup d'état in the third year after his nephew ascended the throne."

"After he came to power, he thoroughly purged all the tribes of Xirong. Many of our spies planted in Xirong were killed, and the remaining spies also lived cautiously. Unless they encountered urgent intelligence, they would not easily send out information."

Sheng Nanxi's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing: "Tsk tsk... This Regent is really a cautious and smart man."

"His appearance made him destined to be a laughing stock of the Xirong royal family. How could a normal person stand facing people who laugh at him every day? But he endured it for decades, and only came out to seize power after he was sure that his plan was foolproof."

"Then here is the question. The Regent is such a cautious person, he should know that King Kang is not an honest man who will let him do whatever he wants. Why would he be so reckless as to send only more than 10,000 people to attack Mobei Pass?"

"Isn't he afraid that King Kang will find out something is wrong and urgently send reinforcements, and these 10,000 cavalrymen will be directly surrounded by the Southern Qi army and trapped in the city?"

"Well, impossible." Gu Yuancheng pursed his thin lips and nodded slightly.

The Xirong people were nomads without a fixed residence, and they really liked to rob and run. This is why they had the strength to rush into the Mobei Pass in the early years, but they only burned and looted, and did not occupy the city at all.

But now the regent king of Xirong has the final say, so what happened today doesn't make sense.

Gu Yuancheng thought for a moment and said slowly, "Xi'er, I remember there are four passes in the northwest of Southern Qi. There is also a Huangsha Fort more than 60 miles south of Mobei Pass. If we attack the pass from there, we can also easily capture Yunzhong County."

"That is to say..."

The two little ones' minds flashed wildly through some of the information they had received recently.

Since Prince Jingnan came to Beijing to serve the king, the Southern Qi Dynasty was in chaos. All the princes and kings in the south refused to obey the court's discipline, so He Huaiyuan had to move north with the young emperor.

According to the latest news, the vanguard of the Gyeonggi Guard has appeared near Jinyang County, only a few hundred miles away from the northwest border.

In the last few days, King Kang used the excuse that there was an epidemic in the city to prevent the entry and exit of idle people, and at the same time controlled the northwest border troops through Wang Yun and transferred a batch of border troops away from Mobei Pass...

In an instant, a thought flashed through their minds, shocking the two little ones so much that their eyes widened.

Sheng Nanxi spoke first, "So, is there a possibility... Because King Kang's military strength is not enough to compete with the imperial court, the agreement he reached with the Western Rong people before was to let the fierce Western Rong cavalry enter the pass to deal with the imperial court's army, and then share the benefits with the opponent after the success!"

"He couldn't possibly tell such a confidential matter to a deputy commander of the personal guard, so he only told them that the Xirong people were conducting exercises nearby. In order to win the support of the people, he might even pretend to resist the Xirong people and flee after being defeated!"

Gu Yuancheng nodded and continued her words:

"But for some reason, the Regent King of Xirong got a lot of intelligence from King Kang, and knew the time of the redeployment of several nearby passes and the secrets under the Gaochang ruins. He wanted to eat alone, so he launched a siege in advance!"

"This is also the reason why the Xirong people came to attack the Southern Qi army even though they had already reached an agreement!"

Sheng Nancy's chubby little face turned completely cold, and the final blow made the final decision:

"So the 10,000 cavalrymen just now were actually part of the Xirong Regent's plan! He is such a meticulous person, he would definitely not let 10,000 people attack Yunzhong County and be made a fool of. These 10,000 people are more like the real Xirong troops sent here to attack Huangsha Fort just to show off and attract attention!"

"Oh no, Xiao Cheng! Yunzhong County might have a tough battle to fight!"

Sheng Nanxi was so anxious that she dragged Gu Yuancheng and teleported five miles away before she finished speaking.

Judging from the time, the Xirong people might have already launched an attack on Huangsha Fort.

I don't know how many innocent Nanqi people will die in this tough battle. And I don't know what will happen to my father and mother now.
