Signal fire?
Emperor Wen was stunned when he heard Yun Zheng's words.
Soon, Emperor Wen came to his senses and asked with a stern face, "You still want to send out signal smoke signals to transfer the troops guarding the East Gate, right?"
Yun Zheng laughed dryly and nodded slightly.
Emperor Wen was so angry that he laughed, and immediately waved to Yun Zheng, "Come here, I promise I won't beat you to death!"
This bastard!
He still wants to send out signal fire?
The imperial guards who accompanied him did carry signal fire.
But how could something like a signal smoke be released so easily?
Once the signal for war is raised, it won’t just be Qin Qihu and his men who will be called over!
...
...
All six guards of the imperial city will be transferred here!
By then, the entire imperial city will probably be in chaos!
"Forehead……"
Yun Zheng choked slightly, and quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't say anything."
Old stuff!
No moral ethics!
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng with amusement and asked, "Was this Du Guiyuan's idea?"
“No, no…”
Yun Zheng shook his head repeatedly, "This was my son's idea."
"Stop playing tricks on me!"
Emperor Wen stared at Yun Zheng, "With your brain, can you think of this?"
Yun Zheng grinned and said no more.
Du Guiyuan was speechless.
This is exactly what the Sixth Prince thought!
This has nothing to do with him!
"Forget about the wolf smoke!"
Emperor Wen said calmly: "If you want to transfer Qin Qihu and others from the East Gate, think of a way yourself, don't have these crooked ideas! Get out of here quickly, I am annoyed just looking at you!"
Yun Zheng shrank his neck and quickly led his men towards the south gate.
As soon as Yun Zheng and his men left, Emperor Wen grabbed Zhou Mi and asked, "Whose idea was it to raid here?"
"this……"
Zhou Mi hesitated and dared not speak, for fear that Emperor Wen would take revenge on him later.
Emperor Wen saw Zhou Mi's thoughts and said calmly, "Just speak up. Not only will I not blame him, I will also reward him handsomely!"
After hearing this, Zhou Mi replied cautiously, "It was... Du Guiyuan's idea."
really!
A smile flashed across Emperor Wen's face.
I guess only Du Guiyuan could come up with this idea.
Du Guiyuan was once the commander of the Blood Clothes Army and had frequently raided enemy camps behind the enemy lines.
It is understandable that he could think of this trick.
"good!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly and said, "Tell me in detail the whole process from leaving here to snatching the war horses. I am very curious now, how did you snatch so many war horses!"
Zhou Mi did not dare to delay and immediately described the whole process in detail.
After listening to Zhou Mi's narration, all the generals couldn't help but praise him.
"This method of snatching the warhorse is quite ingenious!"
"Well, although it is a risky move, the effect is extremely good!"
"You are taking every step carefully, and you are making good use of everyone's eagerness to capture the Sixth Prince. It is truly commendable that you can make such a decision in such a short time!"
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince is blessed! The Princess and Du Guiyuan and others can all shoulder the heavy responsibility!"
“…”
The generals all spoke one after another, and did not hesitate to praise Shen Luoyan, Du Guiyuan and others.
Even the generals who belonged to the factions of other princes followed suit and praised them.
However, none of the generals mentioned Yun Zheng.
In their opinion, this matter has little to do with Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng's idea was at most a wild idea, but the specific plan was thought up by Shen Luoyan and Du Guiyuan.
This is just like raiding the Beihuan royal court.
Everyone can talk about the surprise attack on the Beihuan royal court.
But how to do it specifically and how to achieve this goal is the core issue.
"In fact, Your Highness the Sixth Prince and his men have already won."
At this time, Zhao Ji said with a smile: "If this happened on a real battlefield, and they attacked us by surprise, we would definitely suffer heavy casualties. If they took advantage of the situation to seize the signal fire and light it, the defenders at the east gate would definitely be mobilized..."
Du Guiyuan's plan coincided with the plan he had proposed before.
"Um!"
Everyone and Emperor Wen nodded in agreement.
As soon as the signal smoke sounds, Yuan Gui and Qin Qihu will surely lead their troops to rescue the emperor.
In this way, the defense line of the East Gate naturally became empty talk.
"Now I really want to see what other tricks they can come up with!"
Emperor Wen was really interested now.
This martial arts performance had completely exceeded their expectations.
Just when Emperor Wen was in high spirits, Yun Ting led a team of cavalry to arrive.
However, this number is really pitifully small.
A rough estimate is that there are only about a hundred people.
"Father, Father..."
Yun Ting hurriedly dismounted, stumbled toward Emperor Wen, and asked with concern, "Father, are you okay?"
"Can't you see clearly whether I am okay or not?"
Emperor Wen's good mood was suddenly ruined. He glared at Yun Ting who was trying to please him, and asked with a dark face, "Why are there only so few people? Where are the others?"
"this……"
Yun Ting lowered his head, and said with shame on his face: "Sixth brother's men took advantage of our unpreparedness and scattered our war horses. Many people went to look for war horses. I was worried about my father's safety, so I hurriedly gathered a few people and rushed over..."
After listening to Yun Ting's words, Emperor Wen became even more furious.
A bunch of useless things!
We asked them to chase Lao Liu, but they actually chased the warhorse?
By the time they find the horses and gather their men again, it will probably be almost dark!
With all they have going on, they're still chasing after Lao Liu?
They can basically not rely on their three thousand people!
Now, we can only wait and see how Yuan Gui and Qin Qihu perform!
The more Emperor Wen thought about it, the angrier he became. He shouted angrily, "Go chase Lao Liu right now! They're heading towards the South Gate!"
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Ting couldn't help but secretly groan.
He gathered such a small number of people in a hurry, how could he chase Lao Liu?
"What are you still standing there for?"
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Ting with a dark face, "Do you want to surrender or do you want me to invite you?"
"Your son... obeys your command!"
Yun Ting agreed reluctantly, immediately ran to his warhorse, and chased south with about a hundred people.
As soon as Yun Ting and his men left, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince arrived with their troops.
Their situation was not much better than Yun Ting's, they only had one or two hundred riders.
The two of them also hurried over and asked if Emperor Wen was ill.
As a result, they were naturally scolded harshly by Emperor Wen.
After venting his anger, Emperor Wen also told them the direction of Yun Zheng's troops and asked them to chase them.
The two men did not dare to delay and had to run after them with the few remaining men.
Looking at the two teams going away, several veterans couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
It’s useless!
The people from Yun Ting’s three divisions are basically wiped out!
What they should do now is not to come here to show their courtesy, but to gather as many of their own people as possible, and then encircle and intercept Yun Zheng's troops.
If this really happened on the battlefield, they would definitely suffer heavy losses if they led such a small number of troops to pursue Yun Zheng's troops.
If things go wrong, they will be caught by Yun Zheng in return!
"What a bunch of bastards! They have learned nothing but the art of war!"
Emperor Wen stared at the second and fifth brothers who were leading their troops away with a grim face.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Your Highnesses are also leading an army for the first time, so it is inevitable that you may be negligent."
"Yes, Your Highnesses were too careless this time..."
"I believe that Your Highnesses will learn from this lesson..."
People from Yun Ting's faction all spoke up to defend the three men.
It was not until Emperor Wen glanced at them with an unfriendly look that they shut up.
Emperor Wen sighed with disappointment and said to himself: "Now, we can only rely on Yuan Gui and Qi Hu!"
…
The second prince and the fifth prince led their troops and galloped all the way.
They didn't find Yun Zheng, but instead saw Yun Ting who was very worried.
Seeing that the second and fifth brothers were in similar situations to his, Yun Ting felt a little more balanced.
"Old Four, why are you so slow? Why don't you go after Old Six?"
As soon as he saw Yun Ting, the second prince began to question him.
Yun Ting replied angrily: "With my limited number of troops, how can I chase after Lao Liu and the others?"
The second prince choked slightly and became speechless for a moment.
"Second brother, fourth brother, let's stop arguing."
The fifth prince took a look at their few remaining soldiers and said with a frown, "We can't fight over the few people we have now! We must cooperate and chase after Lao Liu together! If Lao Liu successfully reaches the rendezvous point, I don't know whether Qin Qihu and the others will be in trouble, but the three of us will definitely be in trouble..."
Listening to the Fifth Prince's words, the two of them fell into deep thought at the same time.
yes!
Many of them went to look for war horses!
By the time those people joined up with them, the opportunity was already gone!
Now the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with them.
If Lao Liu manages to escape, they will be in trouble!
After thinking for a moment, Yun Ting nodded heavily and said, "Fifth brother, what you said makes sense. If we cooperate now, we still have a chance to catch Old Six! If we continue to fight, we won't have any chance at all!"
"All right!"
The second prince understood the interests involved and said in a deep voice: "Then let's make a gentleman's agreement. If we catch the sixth brother, it will be ours together! No one is allowed to take credit for it!"
The Fifth Prince and Yun Ting looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
After reaching an agreement, the three of them immediately joined forces and began to pursue Yun Zheng and his men.
Only by catching the bastard Lao Liu can they avenge their previous shame!
