The next day.
The first ray of sunshine came over Feihu Ridge. Zhao Muyun woke up early and walked out of the tent with Yinji, Li Si and other guards.
When Song Liu heard the noise, he quickly opened his eyes, straightened his clothes, and followed out.
Seeing Song Liu coming out, Zhao Muyun smiled and said nothing. He strode towards an excellent observation point on the ridge.
Ever since Lin Feng destroyed the dike and released the water at the landslide lake, Zhao Muyun knew that what happened next would have to be left to fate.
After all, how much damage a landslide lake plus more than ten days of accumulated rainfall would cause was only theoretical in the early stages.
The final result depends on the scene.
Moreover, it is unknown whether there will be deviations due to geographical reasons.
Lin Feng, Du Wei, Zhong Dahu and others had been sent out long ago. Zhao Muyun instructed Tian Qing and Wu Shangzhi to be prepared and march as soon as daybreak.
Although man proposes, God disposes.
But Zhao Muyun did not sleep well last night, wondering what kind of damage the flood would cause to King Loufan and King Zhelan.
He was also worried that the damage caused by the flood was not as great as expected, and the losses to King Loufan and King Zhelan were not great.
If this is the case, then the water attack strategy that we put so much effort into will fail.
The task of rescuing Weizhou had to start all over again.
If Zhao Muyun did not want to lead his troops to charge directly and wanted to make long-term plans, the 10,000 soldiers in Weizhou City could not wait any longer.
Next, what awaits Zhao Muyun may be impeachment from all sides.
Those who sent out imperial censors to monitor Zhao Muyun and prepare to find problems to force Zhao Muyun to step down now had something to talk about.
By then, even Pei Lun might not be able to stand on Zhao Muyun's side.
As to whether Yinji would continue to ask the royal family behind him to protect Zhao Muyun, it is still unknown.
After all, any relationship ultimately comes down to a balance of interests.
"Master, our plan worked. Look, the Tartar camp has been completely destroyed!"
Yinji ran in front, squinted his eyes, and saw the scene below the mountain for the first time.
I saw that the flood had already receded, leaving the ground in a mess.
The camp consisting of thousands of tents built by the Tartars outside Feihukou yesterday afternoon was no longer visible.
Even the Tartars disappeared.
When Zhao Muyun heard Yinji's voice, he quickened his pace. When he reached a higher place and took a look, he was also surprised.
The power of nature is enormous, and humans are so insignificant in front of it.
The accumulated water volume of a landslide lake is at least dozens of times the daily flow of the Laishui River.
Even though King Loufan had set up his camp far away from the Laishui River, he could not escape the fate of being affected by the flood.
"Li Si, go inform Tian Qing and Wu Shangzhi now and follow me to march into Weizhou."
Last night, Zhao Muyun arranged for Lin Feng to march north overnight after destroying the dike and releasing the water, in order to block King Loufan's escape route in advance.
Dewey and Zhong Dahu led their troops to the foot of the mountain last night, using torches to attract the Tartars in the water and then shooting them with arrows.
They should be resting in the mountains on both sides of Feihukou at this moment.
What had not been deployed were the 550 cavalrymen led by Wu Shangzhi and the 1,000 soldiers brought by Tian Qing from Shuozhou.
The two groups of people maintained sufficient physical strength so that they could advance quickly and reach the city of Weizhou early this morning after the flood receded.
After Zhao Muyun gave Li Si his orders, he said to Yin Ji, "General Yin, you will lead the remaining troops and join forces with Captains Du and Zhong, and follow closely."
"Yes, Master!" Yinji bowed and accepted the order.
Zhao Muyun looked at the empty valley entrance at the foot of the mountain in the distance again, then turned and left.
"Master Zhao, what about me?"
Seeing that Zhao Muyun ignored his existence and did not take him seriously at all, Song Liu hurriedly reached out to stop Zhao Muyun and said.
Seeing Song Liu blocking his way, Zhao Muyun remained calm and didn't get angry at him. Instead, he said coldly:
"Censor Song, wasn't someone impeaching this captain for holding his troops back and disregarding the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Weizhou?"
"If you want to see what's happening in Weizhou, then follow General Yin and open your eyes."
"If you can't stand the bloody scene, you can return to the capital now and report."
"The mouth is yours. As for what you want to say, that's your business."
After saying that, he pushed Song Liu away and walked away.
Song Liu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhao Muyun to be so indifferent. He seemed to be indifferent to the fact that the Censorate sent an inspector to monitor him.
He looked at Yinji, who frowned slightly and seemed not to want to pay attention to this annoying censor.
"My Lord, please take me with you. I want to follow you to Weizhou and see with my own eyes those Dayin soldiers who have been isolated in Weizhou for a month and a half."
Song Liu said to Yin Ji with a licking face.
"Is Censor Song planning to go to Weizhou to find some negative information about my master?"
Yinji asked with a smile.
"Prince, you are joking! How could I do such a thing?" When Song Liu saw that his thoughts were revealed by Yin Ji, his face turned red and he quickly denied it.
"Alright, I don't need to bother with you about what Censor Song thinks. If you want to go, then follow my army."
"But I have to make it clear in advance that Censor Song is responsible for his own safety. I can't control it. If anything happens to the master, it will have nothing to do with my master."
Yinji smiled.
Having said that, we still have to protect Censor Song's safety.
If something really happened to Censor Song, the Censorate and Zhao Muyun's political enemies would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to impeach Zhao Muyun.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it has nothing to do with Lord Zhao."
Song Liu nodded repeatedly.
......
A moment later, the warhorse neighed.
Five hundred and fifty cavalrymen, clad in black iron armor, holding spears, with swords hanging from their waists, composite bows on their backs, and wearing bronze masks, stood in formation waiting in awe.
Wu Shangzhi, who was at the front of the team, was also dressed in the same outfit, except that he did not wear the bronze mask.
Zhao Muyun now has two trump cards in his hand. One is the elite scout battalion currently led by Tang Yanhai; the other is the 550 cavalrymen in front of him.
This cavalry battalion, composed of a mixture of Dayin and Wuhuan people, was led by Wu Shangzhi after the original commander Huan Naxue was assassinated and injured with Zhao Muyun in Shuozhou City.
After being mixed together, they fought against the thousand cavalrymen led by Pushan Tiecong, a subordinate of King Zhelan, outside the city of Weizhou, and showed their prowess in the first battle.
Now, Zhao Muyun will go to Weizhou with them to beat the downed dog.
"The cavalry battalion is ready! Your Excellency, please give the order!"
"Set off!"
After a brief conversation between Zhao Muyun and Wu Shangzhi, 550 cavalrymen slowly started moving like a black whirlwind.
Then, Tian Qing followed closely with a thousand new recruits who were training in Shuozhou.
Zhao Muyun satisfied Tian Qing's wish to lead the troops alone.
These thousand new recruits also took this opportunity to get their hands on blood and quickly become veterans.
More than 1,500 people quickly rushed out of Feihukou and headed towards Weizhou along the road that was flooded last night.
