Yun Zheng transmigrated into the Great Qian Dynasty as the sixth prince. He didn’t fight for the throne, nor did he engage in palace intrigues. He just wanted to secure military power and be a care...
Weibian, Beihuan camp.
Bambu rushed into the camp with a group of personal soldiers.
Soon, Bambu met Wulie.
When he saw Bambu, Wulie felt both excited and nervous, and quickly brought Bambu into the tent.
"how?"
Wu Lie couldn't wait to ask for the result.
"No danger!"
Bambu was so excited that he trembled all over as he said, "I have led people into the Death Valley three times. The farthest time, I went nearly fifty miles into the Death Valley, but I never suffered any punishment from God!"
"Very good!"
After getting Bambu's affirmative answer, Wulie was so excited that he almost shouted to the sky.
...
...
There is no danger in Death Valley!
The rear of Shuobei has been completely opened to them!
As long as they lead their troops to attack the rear of the Northern Army, the Northern Army will inevitably be in chaos!
By then, the two frontier guards of Shuobei will be at our fingertips!
One battle may decide the outcome!
After trying hard to suppress his excitement, Wu Lie quickly told Bambu about his plan.
This was a plan he had thought of a long time ago.
As long as we are sure that there is no danger in Death Valley, we can implement it immediately!
He planned to personally lead an army of 40,000 to launch a surprise attack on the rear of the Northern Palace Army.
Not only must we capture Suqu and Shuofang, but we must also capture Mayi!
Mayi has stockpiled a large amount of food and fodder!
As long as they get those food and fodder, their 40,000-strong army will be supplied.
On the other hand, the Northern Army not only had its retreat cut off, but also lacked sufficient food and fodder.
By then, all the defense lines of the Northern Army will collapse!
The best strategy for the Northern Army is to launch a desperate attack and retreat to Beilu Pass!
Otherwise, just wait to be eaten by them slowly!
"Forty thousand troops, is that too many?"
Bambu frowned, "If we withdraw another 40,000 troops, the defense forces of Qingbian and Gobian will be seriously insufficient. If the Northern Army launches a surprise attack, we may not be able to resist it."
"This prince has a plan!"
Wu Lie smiled confidently, "This prince will immediately order all tribes to urgently recruit 50,000 warriors to go to the border! Although they are not capable of attacking the city, they are enough to help defend it!"
"fifty thousand?"
Bambu's eyelids jumped, "I'm afraid we can't afford the food and fodder for an army of 50,000!"
"That's why we have to raid Mayi!" Wu Lie laughed loudly, "As long as we get the food and grass in Mayi, do we still need to worry about the problem of food and grass?"
As long as this plan succeeds, all difficulties can be solved.
After the beginning of next spring, Da Gan will definitely not have the energy to launch an attack!
And Beihuan’s food shortage dilemma will be completely resolved!
Bambu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Then proceed according to the eldest prince's plan! However, the 40,000 troops entering the Death Valley can pretend to move to Langya Pass first. Yun Zheng will definitely send spies to keep an eye on our movements. Once we pretend to send more troops to Langya Pass, Yun Zheng will definitely follow suit..."
As long as Yun Zheng sends reinforcements to Langya Pass, he will fall into their trap.
If Yun Zheng's main force is transferred to Langya Mountain Pass, Shuofang's defense will inevitably be left empty.
At that time, they only need to send a small number of troops to occupy Shuofang.
Shuofang, Suqu, and Mayi!
Conquering these three cities is their goal!
Wu Lie thought about it and nodded immediately, "The Imperial Master can go to Gubian to take charge. Once this prince successfully raids Mayi or Shuofang, the Imperial Master can lead the army to attack from the front! We will attack them from both sides!"
“No no!”
Bambu shook his head and said, "It is better for me to lead the army in a surprise attack! This surprise attack is not foolproof. The eldest prince is of noble status, so it is better not to put yourself in danger."
"no!"
Wu Lie refused without hesitation, "This battle is for me to avenge my humiliation! I must lead the 40,000-strong army myself!"
After losing the first two battles and suffering continuous casualties, the Great Chanyu was extremely dissatisfied with him.
He must win a great victory!
Moreover, he must personally lead the army to win this battle!
As long as this plan succeeds, his prestige will be greatly enhanced!
"this……"
Bambu hesitated and frowned, "Prince, should we…"
“Don’t think about it!”
Wulie interrupted Bambu and said, "I have made up my mind!"
Bambu pondered for a moment, and then said to Wulie: "If the eldest prince must lead the army to attack personally, please be careful. Yun Zheng is cunning and there is no guarantee that he will not deploy troops to defend the entrance of the Death Valley! Before the eldest prince leads the army to rush out of the Death Valley, he must send more people to investigate!"
All they knew now was that there was no danger in Death Valley.
But they didn't know what it would be like after crossing the Death Valley.
The topography of Death Valley makes it a good place for an ambush.
As long as Yun Zheng deploys three to five thousand troops at the entrance of the Death Valley, it will be basically impossible for their 40,000-strong army to break out.
Bambu is now also frightened by Yun Zheng. Whenever he thinks of Yun Zheng, he becomes extra cautious.
Wu Lie nodded and laughed, "Don't worry, Imperial Master. I will be more careful! I will never give Yun Zheng any chance again! Imperial Master, just wait for me to catch Yun Zheng and bring him to you!"
Speaking of Yun Zheng, a cold light suddenly flashed in Bambu's eyes.
If possible, he would like to tear Yun Zheng into pieces.
"good!"
Bambu nodded heavily and reminded him, "When I came back, I ordered the tribes near the pasture to slaughter cattle and sheep and prepare some dry food for the army! The eldest prince can lead the army to attack lightly, and then replenish some dry food when we get there!"
Wu Lie's eyes lit up and he praised, "The Imperial Master is indeed very thoughtful!"
…
Yun Zheng didn't take Bei Huan's unusual movements to heart.
He only instructed the people at the front line to keep an eye on Beihuan's unusual movements and prevent Beihuan's spies from sneaking into Shuobei to cause sabotage.
Although Shen Luoyan and the others finally found out Yun Zheng's plan, they did not tell anyone about it under Yun Zheng's strict order.
In Yun Zheng's words, this is a good opportunity to test the psychological qualities of the generals in the camp.
Practice more.
Otherwise, if there is any disturbance in the future, everyone will be on guard as if facing a great enemy.
Taking advantage of the break time, Yun Zheng also drew the design drawings of the greenhouse.
With the hot springs, we should be able to harvest some fresh vegetables by building a greenhouse.
He was tired of eating the same old dishes every day these days.
Moreover, those were the vegetables stored in the cellar.
Let’s not talk about whether it’s fresh or not. All I can say is that it’s better than pickled vegetables.
In fact, he is pretty good at this.
The soldiers in the camp ate horse meat stewed with dried radish and some pickles all day long.
But compared to other people in the Northern Army, these soldiers in the camp are much happier.
They can still eat meat, but many people eat pickles and preserved vegetables all day long.
“Knock, knock…”
Just as Yun Zheng was admiring his masterpiece with satisfaction, Gao He's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, Youshi has an urgent report!"
Urgent news from Youshi?
Yun Zheng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately put down the drawings in his hand and let Gao He in.
As soon as Gao He entered the room, he hurriedly said, "An urgent report has come from the front line of Youshi. The 40,000 troops of Beihuan are gathering at Langya Pass. Beihuan is ready to attack Langya Pass!"
"How many?"
Yun Zheng's eyelids suddenly jumped.
Damn it!
Forty thousand troops!
Beihuan is risking his life!
"forty thousand!"
Gao He answered again.
forty thousand!
Yun Zheng's breathing suddenly became rapid, "Let's go to Beidaying!"
