Chapter 477 Admiration

Yu Zheng rode his horse through the main street and saw that the people of Shuncheng were so frightened when they saw the Dazhao army entering the city that they fled in panic, as if they were a flood of beasts.

A woman was carrying a young child on her back, holding a child in her arms, and holding a bundle in her arms. She was too flustered when she ran away, and the young child could not keep up with the adults' steps, so she accidentally fell down.

"Mom, mom..." The child cried out in pain and fear.

The woman heard the sound of horse hooves behind her, turned her head and took a look. She was so frightened that her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly bent over to pull the child.

Maybe she was too scared, or maybe she was injured. The woman pulled the child several times but couldn't stand up. The woman looked at the people running in front of her, and then looked at the Dazhao army approaching behind her, and cried anxiously.

"Please..." Yu Zheng reined in his horse in the street and asked Wei Yu to dismount and help.

Just as Wei Yu was about to approach, the woman knelt down and kowtowed, begging: "General, please let us go. They are just children and don't know anything. Please have mercy on us..."

The woman kept kowtowing, and she didn't stop even when her forehead was broken.

The young child on her back and the child beside her were frightened and cried loudly.

Yu Zheng frowned, pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, the Da Zhao Army will not harm the people."

It is understandable that two armies fight and fight for their lives, but whether they lose or win, the people are innocent, especially the unarmed old, weak, women and children.

The people do not have the right to decide whether to fight or not, and they should not be implicated.

The woman trembled when she heard this, and looked at Wei Yu with caution, not daring to say a word.

"Get up and go home." Wei Yu helped the woman up, picked up the child's fallen bag, and handed it to the woman one by one.

The woman took it in panic, and retreated to the side of the street with the child to make way for the Dazhao Army.

Yu Zheng looked up at the people fleeing in front of him, and said in a solemn voice: "Pass the order down, do not harm the people of Shuncheng. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by military law!"

"Yes!" Several guards took the order, turned their horses around and went to pass the order everywhere.

"Drive!" Yu Zheng rode his horse forward and went to the Shuncheng military camp.

The Shuncheng military camp was empty and silent.

Yu Zheng was about to go in, Qin Yi said: "Your Highness, be careful, I will go check it out first."

Then, Qin Yi led a team into the military camp and split up to check.

After patrolling the entire military camp and confirming that there was no danger, Qin Yi came back to report and welcomed Yu Zheng into the camp.

Yu Zheng had just taken a step when he heard the sound of a horse behind him. He looked back and saw that it was Zhou Boxu.

Zhou Boxu was wearing silver armor, holding a horse whip and holding his head high, his brows solemn and majestic.

Yu Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for Zhou Boxu to approach, then dismounted and went into the camp with him.

"Is it going well?" Yu Zheng asked as he walked.

Zhou Boxu said solemnly: "It went smoothly, and the casualties were not serious. How are your injuries?"

"Just superficial injuries, no problem." Yu Zheng replied casually, and the two walked towards the meeting room together.

Just as he sat down in the tent, before he had time to drink a sip of water, Zhuiyun came.

"Master, the messenger army from Nanyan has been intercepted and killed, the east gate is heavily guarded, and no civilians have escaped." Zhuiyun reported respectfully.

Long before sending troops to attack the city, Yu Zheng asked Zhuiyun to take an elite and detour to the road from Shuncheng to Xingyi City to intercept the messenger army to prevent Xiao Lin from receiving the news.

Yu Zheng nodded and said: "You take people to pick up the princess, be careful."

"Yes." Zhuiyun took the order and left.

Although Shuncheng was captured and all the Nanyan soldiers died in the battle, there was no one left in the military camp, which was too abnormal.

Needless to say, there must be fish that slipped through the net, escaping and hiding in the dark, and we have to guard against them.

After a while, the generals arrived one after another, and the Dazhao generals occupied the Shuncheng military camp and searched and cleaned it up.

After listening to the reports of the generals, Yu Zheng followed the meeting and discussed the next measures.

It was not enough to capture Shuncheng and kill General Zuo, they still had to deal with Xiao Lin and the army of Xingyi City.

At the end of the discussion, cheers suddenly came from outside the tent.

"What happened?" Yu Zheng asked loudly.

The guard outside the tent came in and reported: "The princess has come with food."

When the generals heard this, their faces showed relief, and they said with sincere admiration: "The princess is virtuous and capable, and she is really a model for women in the world." After hearing this,

Yu Zheng stared at the generals and said in a cold tone: "No. Do you think the woman is useless?"

The generals hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "Don't dare. The general and others offended the princess earlier because of their shallow knowledge. Please forgive me."

Yu Zheng looked at them and said, "Okay, let's go eat."

Everyone is hungry after fighting all morning. Furthermore, there will be a tough battle in the evening, so you need to eat and drink enough to recharge your batteries.

After the generals left, Yu Zheng also stood up to greet Jiang Shu.

As soon as he walked out of the camp, he saw Jiang Shu coming towards him, and all the generals greeted him respectfully.

"Princess."

Jiang Shu nodded and continued to move forward.

After walking two steps and seeing Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu smiled, but the smile disappeared instantly when she saw the wound on Yu Zheng's arm, and was replaced by anxiety.

"Husband, you are injured." Jiang Shu stepped forward quickly and grabbed Yu Zheng's arm to check.

Yu Zheng glanced at him and said, "It's a minor injury, it's not a big deal."

Jiang Shu looked at the blood-soaked cotton cloth casually wrapped on the sleeve, and knew that the injury was not light, and she didn't treat it carefully, so she frowned.

Yu Zheng knew that she was worried, and said slowly: "I've applied medicine, and it doesn't hurt anymore. Come in and talk."

Jiang Shu followed Yu Zheng into the tent, and after a careful inquiry and examination, she was slightly relieved after confirming that Yu Zheng had no other injuries.

Zhou Boxu sat aside drinking water, silent.

Jiang Shu finally noticed him and asked, "Is my brother-in-law injured?"

Zhou Boxu put down his cup and said, "No, I'm fine."

Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with Yu Zheng.

Zhui Yun came in with food, placed it on the table and stepped back.

It was inconvenient to transport, so they made simple cakes and steamed taro until soft.

There were also a small amount of steamed bread for the generals of high rank, which was a military regulation.

There was a plate of steamed bread on their table right now, and Yu Zheng picked up one and handed it to Jiang Shu.

The three of them ate steamed bread and cakes with a pot of water.

After the meal, Jiang Shu invited Du Zhong to take a closer look at Yu Zheng's wound.

The steel knife was extremely powerful. Although Yu Zheng did not injure the bone, he was cut quite deeply, and the skin and flesh were turned outward.

After re-applying medicine and bandaging, Du Zhong reminded: "Don't touch water before the wound heals, and don't use force, otherwise it will break."

Jiang Shu took note of it carefully, and after Du Zhong left, she reminded Yu Zheng again.

The battle was not over yet, and she couldn't be with Yu Zheng all the time, so she could only give him a few more reminders.

To make her feel at ease, Yu Zheng obeyed.

Zhou Boxu watched from the side, with a lively smile on his lips.

He is five years older than Yu Zheng, and he has watched Yu Zheng grow up, so he knows Yu Zheng's temper very well.

Although Yu Zheng is not a violent person, he is not approachable.

According to Zhou Boxu's understanding, Yu Zheng has always been cold and indifferent to others, which makes people afraid.

But in front of Jiang Shu, he is like a beast with fangs retracted, and he is extremely docile, which makes Zhou Boxu deeply understand what it means that steel can be turned into soft silk.
