"stop!"
After running for twenty miles, Yun Zheng stopped the army beside a small stream.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Luoyan glared at Yun Zheng unhappily, "We have only run a short distance. If we stop now, the pursuers will catch up with us soon!"
"I'm tired! I can't run anymore!" Yun Zheng said breathlessly.
Chen Luoyan was furious and said with disgust: "It's the horses that are running, and I didn't ask you to run, so why can't you run anymore?"
Yun Zheng was speechless for a moment, and immediately said bitterly: "My legs are almost worn out, and the horse must be tired too. Let's rest for a while before setting off..."
Shen Luoyan wanted to say more, but Du Guiyuan persuaded her, "Princess, let's take a break! Let's find a place for everyone to drink some water. The brothers are all wearing armor. It's so hot, and after working for so long, everyone must be thirsty..."
Du Guiyuan knew in his heart that Yun Zheng probably had some new ideas.
Chen Luoyan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that many people were sweating profusely, he could only nod in agreement.
...
...
Everyone was not really tired, but they were certainly thirsty.
They didn't bring any water bags or anything for this martial arts performance, so when they were told to take a break, everyone immediately ran to the river.
Yun Zheng found a small tree to lean against, panting heavily and said, "Let me take a breath first. Du Guiyuan, go get me some water..."
"yes!"
Du Guiyuan hurried to the river.
"We will be dragged to death by you sooner or later!"
Chen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng angrily with a look of disgust.
"Anyway, Father has said he won't punish us, so it doesn't matter if we lose."
Yun Zheng said disapprovingly: "I would rather be caught than be exhausted to death."
"you……"
Chen Luoyan was furious and roared, "You are a piece of mud that can't be helped!"
Yun Zheng was too lazy to reply and just lay down on the ground.
Seeing Yun Zheng like this, Shen Luoyan became even more angry.
For a moment, she really wanted to pin Yun Zheng down and beat him up.
Chen Luoyan became angrier and angrier as he watched, and turned away to sulk.
A hint of smile flashed quietly in Yun Zheng's eyes.
This is exactly the effect he wants!
How could he give advice to Du Guiyuan unless he made this girl run away in anger?
Soon, Du Guiyuan scooped some water from the stream with his helmet and brought it to Yun Zheng, apologetically saying, "Your Highness, we don't have anything to hold water, so you'll have to make do with this for now."
"It's okay. It's okay."
Yun Zheng took the helmet, gulped down a few gulps of water, and whispered, "Old Second's pursuers shouldn't have many people. Send someone to investigate the situation. If possible, fight them first..."
Have a fight?
Du Guiyuan's heart skipped a beat and he whispered, "I'm afraid we'll be entangled by them..."
"Fuck!"
Yun Zheng whispered, "Their horses have all been scattered, and they are probably still busy looking for horses. How many people can they gather in such a hurry?"
Um?
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, a glimmer of enlightenment suddenly flashed in Du Guiyuan's eyes.
Yes!
He almost forgot that most of the horses of the three princes' cavalry were scattered!
If the three princes chase after us quickly, they will definitely not be able to gather so many troops!
This is their chance!
After a battle, all we have to do is drive the pursuers off their horses again and scatter their horses. It will take them a long time just to chase the horses, so how can they have time to chase them again!
After figuring out the key, Du Guiyuan couldn't help but look at Yun Zheng with admiration.
He now knew that all their previous strategies were deliberately guided by Yun Zheng!
Yun Zheng is definitely a person who is well versed in military tactics!
What a hidden Sixth Prince!
Thinking of this, Du Guiyuan immediately stood up, pretended to think for a while, and then ran towards Shen Luoyan.
After listening to Du Guiyuan's words, Shen Luoyan also felt that there was some truth in them, and immediately sent Gao He with a few people to go behind them to check whether there were any pursuers behind them.
After a while, Gao He quickly ran back with his men.
"Your Highness, Princess, please go!"
Gao He said hurriedly: "There are about 500 pursuers behind us! If we are entangled by them, we will be finished!"
"Five hundred pursuers?"
Yun Zheng's eyelids jumped, and he frowned and said, "Didn't Du Guiyuan say that it was impossible for them to gather a large number of troops in a short period of time? How come there are so many people?"
"Your Highnesses should unite their forces! I see that the strips of cloth on their arms seem to have three colors!"
Gao He said, and hurriedly urged: "Your Highness, hurry up! They are only a few miles away from us, and they will catch up with us in the time it takes to speak!"
Hearing Gao He's words, Yun Zheng was immediately happy.
Join forces together?
It would be good to unite our forces together!
They now have about 800 people!
There are eight hundred of them, are they afraid of five hundred people?
Maybe, we can capture all three of Lao Si!
Shen Luoyan's face changed, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone get on the horse, hurry up!"
"Why are you leaving?"
Yun Zheng called out to Shen Luoyan, "With so many of us, are we still afraid of 500 of them?"
Shen Luoyan was already dissatisfied with Yun Zheng, and when she heard what Yun Zheng said, she became even angrier.
"What do you know?!"
Chen Luoyan said angrily: "Even if we eat up these 500 people, how many of us will be left? There are still 2,000 cavalrymen led by Yuan Gui and Qin Qihu guarding the east gate. We don't have enough people, how can we break through their defense?"
Listening to Shen Luoyan's words, everyone nodded.
"Your Highness, let's go!"
"It will be too late if we don't leave now!"
"We already have great hope of getting out, there's no need to waste our manpower!"
"Yes, Your Highness..."
Everyone offered advice and persuasion.
Chen Luoyan was even more direct. She didn't care whether Yun Zheng was willing or not. She just grabbed Yun Zheng and tried to get him on the horse.
"etc!"
Yun Zheng held onto Shen Luoyan's arm and said with a smile: "You all have practiced martial arts and have become stupid, right?"
"Hurry up and get on the horse! I don't have time to talk to you!" Shen Luoyan said angrily.
"Are you stupid?"
Yun Zheng poked Shen Luoyan's forehead hard, "Didn't the emperor say that we must capture them alive, and we cannot allow any of them to be seriously injured! Where are they going to consume our strength?"
"Even if their people have tied up our people, can't we tie them all up and then untie our people?"
"What do you all think?"
As Yun Zheng's voice fell, everyone was suddenly stunned.
It seems... that's really the case?
They subconsciously treated this as a real battlefield.
He completely forgot the martial arts performance rules that Emperor Wen had mentioned.
Not to mention killing people, even seriously injuring others is not allowed!
As long as they tied up all the pursuers behind them, what would they lose?
"Ha ha……"
As they thought about it, everyone burst into laughter.
They were completely amused by their own stupid brains.
Shen Luoyan's face turned red and she let go of Yun Zheng with embarrassment.
"Well, am I smart?"
Yun Zheng looked at Shen Luoyan triumphantly, “Do you still dare to say that I’m useless?”
"Aren't you just taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules set by our father?"
Shen Luoyan curled his lips and said stubbornly: "If we were really on the battlefield, you would be courting death!"
Yun Zheng shrugged, "This is just a martial arts performance! It's not a real battlefield."
Shen Luoyan choked slightly and was suddenly speechless.
"Your Highness, Princess, please stop bickering."
Du Guiyuan looked at the two with a smile, "Let's quickly prepare for the battle! The pursuers behind us will be here soon!"
“Yes, yes.”
Yun Zheng nodded. "Oh, right, our men have to tie up the horses, or the horses won't run away after the fight. I don't want to have to run on my own two feet..."
"good!"
Du Guiyuan nodded, and said with a sly smile: "Your Highness, in order to win the battle quickly, we still need your cooperation..."
