The next morning.
Before dawn, a thousand soldiers arrived outside Yun Zheng's mansion.
Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan ate something casually, then took the palace soldiers and Gao He and others to Nanyuan.
By the time they arrived at Nanyuan, it was already dawn.
As soon as they arrived at the door, a eunuch came to greet them, "Your Majesty, Princess, please go into the South Garden and wait for a while. The emperor and his men will be here soon."
"good!"
Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan immediately led everyone and followed the eunuch into the South Garden.
The entire Nanyuan was empty.
They waited there for two incense sticks of time, and then the earth suddenly shook.
Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of horse hooves came from far away.
...
...
Hearing this noise, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown.
This is obviously the movement of a large group of cavalry!
Look at them again, even if Gao He and his men are included, there are only thirty cavalrymen!
Damn it!
Nanyuan is only fifty miles in radius!
And send a large cavalry to encircle and suppress them?
Isn’t this a bit too cruel?
"Today's martial arts performance may be a bit difficult."
Shen Luoyan's expression suddenly became solemn.
"It's okay. We can stop the enemy with our own hands and block the flood with our own earth!"
Yun Zheng didn't want to affect the morale of his people, so he said it indifferently.
Disaster?
It’s more than just difficult.
It might be a copy of hell difficulty!
While they were talking, a large group of cavalry rushed into Nanyuan and finally formed up in formation about three hundred meters away from them.
To be exact, these are two teams of cavalry!
To distinguish them, the two teams had strips of cloth of different colors wrapped around their arms.
One team has black cloth strips and the other team has red cloth strips.
When the two cavalry teams finished forming their troops, Yun Zheng immediately recognized the commanders of the two cavalry teams.
Yuan Gui!
Qin Qihu!
The two men each led a team of people.
A rough estimate is that there should be about one thousand of them.
Seeing these two people, Yun Zheng's face turned even greener.
My father is so cruel!
There is no need to say much about the grudge between Yuan Gui and himself.
Now that there is a chance to catch me, Yuan Gui will definitely fight for his life!
The old rogue Qin Liu was determined to make Qin Qihu his deputy general. He must have given a death order, asking Qin Qihu to capture him at all costs!
Before Yun Zheng could recover, Emperor Wen appeared with some important officials in the court.
Behind them, in addition to the royal guards, there are also a large number of cavalry!
Then, several familiar faces appeared in front of Yun Zheng.
The second one, the fourth one, the fifth one!
They also each led a troop of cavalry.
The three teams of cavalry had green, blue and gray strips of cloth wrapped around their arms respectively.
The number of cavalrymen equipped by three men should be about one thousand.
Damn, damn, damn!
Yun Zheng wailed in his heart.
Damn, that’s too cruel!
Almost all the cavalrymen of the six guards of the imperial city were pulled in for the martial arts performance!
Moreover, all the leaders want to catch their own people!
After everyone had organized their troops, Emperor Wen's carriage was also ready.
Yun Zheng jumped off his horse with a bitter look and went forward to meet the emperor with Shen Luoyan.
Qin Qihu and others also dismounted and stepped forward.
As soon as he saw Yun Zheng, the old rogue Qin Liugan made a face, as if saying: Boy, you are blessed!
Yun Zheng's face was filled with black lines, and he really wanted to knock this old man out.
This old guy doesn’t know that they must win today’s martial arts performance!
"Your Highness!"
"Greetings, Father!"
Several people came forward and saluted Emperor Wen together.
"No need to be polite!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand, signaling them to stand up.
"I'll keep it short."
Emperor Wen looked at everyone and smiled, "Today's martial arts performance is very simple. We will use the scene of Lao Liu and his princess being chased and intercepted by 5,000 cavalrymen from the Northern Huan as the subject of the exercise..."
Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Shen Luoyan almost fell to the ground.
Five thousand cavalrymen are chasing and intercepting these thousand or so people?
Moreover, they are almost pure infantry!
The key is that Nanyuan is too small!
They don't have much room to run!
Before Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan could complain, Emperor Wen announced the rules of the exercise.
All those participating in the martial arts performance are not allowed to use weapons.
As long as Yun Zheng is caught, the martial arts performance will be over.
If Yun Zheng successfully escapes from Nanyuan and breaks through the blockade before dark and reaches the rendezvous point set up by Emperor Wen at the east gate of Nanyuan, then Yun Zheng and his team will be considered the winner.
As soon as Emperor Wen finished speaking, Yun Zheng asked bitterly: "Father, is there only one contact point?"
So fucking cruel!
The time is also set to a strict limit!
He couldn't even hide and wait for it to happen!
"How many more do you want?"
Emperor Wen glared at me, "If you are being pursued, will the Northern Army have to split up to support you? What if we are defeated one by one by the enemy? Is it more important for you to be alone, or for me to do it?"
Emperor Wen's words left Yun Zheng speechless.
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and quickly began to think of a solution.
Chen Luoyan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, if the Sixth Prince escapes from Nanyuan but fails to reach the rendezvous point..."
"Then you still lose!"
Emperor Wen interrupted Shen Luoyan, “On a real battlefield, as long as he doesn’t meet up with the people who are picking him up, it’s only a matter of time before he’s caught!”
Shen Luoyan's face twitched, and she said bitterly: "Your servant...understood."
"Don't call me Saint anymore."
Emperor Wen looked up at Shen Luoyan, "You and Lao Liu are already married, so you should follow Lao Liu and call me father."
"Yes, Father."
Chen Luoyan quickly agreed, feeling bitter in her heart.
This is more than difficult!
It's simply as difficult as ascending to heaven!
However, the bad news does not end there.
Then, Emperor Wen announced the specific arrangements for the military performance.
Yuan Gui and Qin Qihu each led a thousand cavalrymen to defend against the east gate of Nanyuan in order to cut off Yun Zheng's passage to meet up with the people at the rendezvous point.
The three princes each led a thousand cavalrymen to pursue Yun Zheng and his group of about a thousand people.
Yun Zheng can start from here and run for half an hour.
After listening to Emperor Wen's arrangement, Shen Luoyan wanted to admit defeat immediately.
They were originally small in number, and were mainly infantry.
Despite being at an absolute disadvantage, Emperor Wen actually used two thousand cavalry to block their escape route to the southeast gate?
If they want to meet up with the people at the rendezvous point, they must break through the blockade of two thousand cavalrymen!
There are three thousand elite cavalry chasing behind us!
How do we fight this battle?
Yun Zheng was also complaining in his heart.
This is too cruel!
This is a style of play that leaves no room for survival!
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too difficult?"
Xiao Wanchou couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Yun Zheng and the others.
Not to mention that Yun Zheng and the others are just young people who have just started out.
This kind of drill makes it almost impossible for these battle-hardened veterans to win!
"I know it's difficult!"
Emperor Wen nodded and said seriously, "But don't forget, Lao Liu is the King of Jingbei, my great sixth prince! Once they are dispersed by the enemy on the battlefield, the enemy will hunt him down at all costs! Don't you know how much Bambu hates Lao Liu?"
Xiao Wanchou was silent for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, it is me who has not thought it through."
Yes, what Emperor Wen described is likely to happen.
It can even be said that it is bound to happen.
Once the battle for Shuobei begins, Yun Zheng will definitely be Beihuan’s primary target.
But he was the one who led his troops into battle to kill the enemy, not the one who sat in the rear camp and planned strategies.
As long as they knew that he had joined the battle, Beihuan would definitely concentrate its superior forces to attack Yun Zheng's troops!
"Any questions?"
After speaking to Xiao Wanchou, Emperor Wen raised his eyes and glanced at their leading generals.
"Father, I have a question."
The fourth prince Yun Ting stepped forward and said, "If the two sides encounter each other, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. How do we determine the casualties during this battle?"
