"Your humble servant, Tong Gu, the commander of Weizhou, leads his troops to respectfully welcome the commander of Pinglu!"
King Zhelan's army retreated, and Zhao Muyun stationed his troops outside the city, and brought Yinji, Tang Yanhai, Du Wei, Zhong Dahu, Li Si and other guards into the city.
Song Liu also followed with his entourage.
Zhao Muyun has now relieved Weizhou, and the previous rumors have been refuted.
Naturally, the Censorate could not find any evidence to impeach Zhao Muyun.
At this moment, Song Liu could not find any problems with Zhao Muyun's use of troops.
The previous talk about holding the troops back and ignoring Weizhou was completely nonsense.
He was able to use 5,000 soldiers and horses to defeat 5,000 Tatar ambushes in succession, capture alive a captain of the Northern Di Chanyu's guards, and then flood two captains of 10,000 Tatar cavalry who had retreated, killing countless enemies.
With such achievements, it is not surprising that he was granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general.
Song Liu also prepared to go home and report to his boss.
However, Song Liu planned to find out the situation of Weizhou City, which had been under siege for a month and a half, and the situation of the 10,000 soldiers in the city before leaving.
At the city gate, Tong Gu, along with officers from the Weizhou Zhechoufu and other officials, lined up to welcome them.
"I am late in coming to the rescue and have kept Captain Tong waiting for a long time." Zhao Muyun laughed and stepped forward to help Tong Gu up.
When Tong Gu saw Zhao Muyun's young face up close at this moment, he was immediately shocked, with shock written all over his face.
Such a young captain is the first in Dayin in hundreds of years!
"Captain Tong, according to intelligence, there are two more captains in Weizhou City. Why can't we see them? Did they die for their country?"
Zhao Muyun was not surprised at all when he saw the surprised expression on Tong Gu's face, who was over forty years old.
After all, he was only in his twenties, yet he became the boss of the 40-year-old Tong Gu. It would be abnormal if the other party was not shocked.
He was more concerned about how many soldiers were left in Weizhou City.
This is related to whether the plan to attack Yunzhou in one go can be realized.
The flood in the lower reaches of the Laishui River has reached the city gate of Weizhou City. King Zhelan was a little surprised that he still had four or five thousand troops left.
"Master Zhao, you are talking about Captain Zhang and Captain Li, right? They...they..."
Tong Gu wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"What's wrong with the two captains? Tell me quickly!" Song Liu was listening carefully at the side. Suddenly, he had an idea and asked repeatedly.
"Who is this?"
Tong Gu was surprised to see that someone dared to interrupt, and hurriedly asked Zhao Muyun for confirmation.
Song Liutian shamelessly rushed out to ask questions at this time. Zhao Muyun's face darkened: "Imperial Censor Song, are you imperial censors always so rude?"
"Sir Zhao, we, the Imperial Censors, are monitoring military intelligence and are extremely concerned about the situation of the soldiers in Weizhou. We apologize for our hasty actions!"
Song Liu was scolded by Zhao Muyun, but he didn't feel ashamed and responded shamelessly.
"This is the first time I've seen Censor Song be so shameless. I'm impressed!" Zhao Muyun said calmly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Zhao!" But Song Liu continued to be shameless.
"Imperial Censor? Lord Zhao, I..."
Tong Gu looked at Zhao Muyun and Song Liu with a confused look. He didn't understand why there was an imperial censor in Zhao Muyun's army.
Zhao Muyun frowned and was speechless.
I didn't expect that Captain Tong was so honest.
He should have been wholeheartedly on Zhao Muyun's side, but when he saw that Song Liu was the censor, he became hesitant and didn't know whether he should say those words, so he started to stutter.
It was nothing originally, but the stuttering made Song Liu suspect that there was something fishy going on between Zhao Muyun and Tong Gu.
"Imperial Censor Song wants to ask Captains Zhang and Li what's going on. Captain Tong, just answer truthfully!"
"Master Zhao, Imperial Censor Song!"
Tong Gu swallowed his saliva, "Originally, Lord Zhao sent someone to pass on a secret order, ordering all soldiers in Weizhou City to hold on and wait for reinforcements."
"But these two captains couldn't wait any longer, so they led their own troops and some troops from other prefectures to break out last night."
"They didn't get far before they were pursued by Tartar cavalry. A fierce battle ensued late at night. The outcome is unknown, but there has been no news of the two captains and the five thousand Dayin soldiers."
When Zhao Muyun heard this, he finally understood why King Zhelan's troops suffered such a small loss. It turned out that it was caused by these two captains.
He immediately burst into a rage, "Bastards! These two have ruined my plans. Yun, Feng, and Sheng prefectures are hopeless!"
Zhao Muyun cursed angrily on the spot, which surprised everyone.
Yin Ji, Zhong Dahu, Du Wei and others asked questions one after another. It was the first time they saw Zhao Muyun get angry in front of such people.
Only Song Liu touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Sir, how did these two people cause you such a big mistake?"
Tong Gu looked even more confused and frightened.
He had no choice but to agree to let the two men lead their troops away.
Despite this, Tong Gu felt deeply responsible.
If Zhao Muyun's important matter was delayed because of this, he would be deeply disturbed.
"The two of them broke out late at night, and King Zhelan sent troops in pursuit, causing the flood to arrive late at night. King Zhelan's military camp responded promptly, and the casualties were minimal."
"I originally thought that Weizhou City had 10,000 soldiers and horses. After a little integration, we could seize the opportunity to follow King Zhelan's defeated army and march into Yunzhou."
"Now it seems that it is difficult to achieve."
Zhao Muyun sighed.
So that’s how it is!
Zhao Muyun's subordinates were extremely dissatisfied with the two captains who disobeyed orders and broke out without authorization.
Even Yinji sighed repeatedly.
If he follows Zhao Muyun and recaptures the three states of Yun, Feng and Sheng, and returns to the capital in the future, he will be the only one among the many princes and grandchildren of the emperor!
Such an honor would be enough for him to brag about for a long time, and Emperor Yongchang would be even more impressed.
