In the following days, soldiers from various units gathered in Shuofang City.
However, because these soldiers carried a large amount of supplies, and the accumulated snow made the roads muddy, their marching speed was very slow.
The soldiers in Mayi and Suqu, who are relatively close to Shuofang City, are in good condition and should be able to reach Shuofang City in about four or five days.
But it will take at least ten days for the soldiers from Tianhu and Moyang City to arrive.
Yun Zheng couldn't care less. After the soldiers from Mayi and Suqu arrived, he would select men from the army and form his own Eighteen Ghost Riders.
When the soldiers behind arrive, we can pick some more people as reserve troops.
"Why do you have to have eighteen people?"
On the way back, Chen Luoyan asked in confusion.
Yun Zheng laughed and replied casually: "Men, to some extent, have an obsession with the number eighteen."
"Obsession?"
...
...
Shen Luoyan was even more puzzled, "What kind of obsession can such a number have?"
“You don’t understand here, do you?”
Yun Zheng said with a chuckle: "For example, the sky of eighteen years old, eighteen martial arts, eighteen touches..."
"What a mess!" Shen Luoyan curled her lips, "You might as well just say that you are a pervert who has been thinking about a girl who just turned 18 all day long!"
“Ahem…”
Yun Zheng laughed dryly, "If you say so, there's nothing wrong with that."
Upon hearing this, Chen Luoyan immediately cursed him as a "pervert" again.
This shameless bastard!
You have the nerve to say anything!
I teased him and he shamelessly admitted it?
She had never seen such a shameless person!
Fortunately, she had gradually gotten used to Yun Zheng's shameless temper, so she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she asked, "What did you talk about with Yu Shizhong today?"
"What else can we talk about?"
Yun Zheng shrugged. "Isn't it just the same old stuff about cavalry training?"
"Really?"
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly, "I feel like you have a secret that you can't tell anyone!"
Yun Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a dark face, "How did you know that?"
"Feel!"
Shen Luoyan stared at him straight, "I feel like you didn't talk about cavalry training. I feel like you're hiding something from me!"
What the hell?
Is this true or false?
Is this a woman's intuition?
"Well, you're really right."
Yun Zheng shrugged, "Since you figured it out, I won't hide it from you. I plan to have Yu Shizhong bring a team of cavalry to accompany me around Suqu tomorrow."
"Let's go to Suqu?"
Chen Luoyan was suspicious, "What are you doing in Suqu?"
She felt that Yun Zheng still didn't tell the truth.
Yun Zheng probably has other purposes!
"Suqu is my next target!"
Yun Zheng said seriously: "I have to make some preparations in advance and understand the situation around Suqu so that I can make subsequent plans."
Is that so?
Shen Luoyan looked at him doubtfully, "It's just this, why did you hide it from me?"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her, "Don't you always say I'm a weakling and tell me not to run around in the snow? I'm just afraid you'll worry!"
"Who's worried about you?"
Shen Luoyan curled her lips and said something inconsistent.
"I think too much, okay?"
Yun Zheng smiled helplessly and ordered: "Just you know about this, don't tell my sister-in-law and the others, so that they won't nag me again."
"You have no conscience!"
Shen Luoyan said dissatisfiedly: "If I didn't care about you, who would bother nagging in your ear?"
"Okay, I said something wrong, okay?"
Yun Zheng smiled and changed the subject, "Before the spring, Beihuan will most likely take the initiative to attack. Just in case, starting tomorrow, you should have the old and weak in the camp start preparing dry food. Make sure there is enough dry food for at least 20,000 people to support them for half a month..."
Next, Yun Zheng began to explain the matter of Shen Luoyan.
Shen Luoyan was distracted and did not ask them about their trip to Suqu.
As soon as the two returned home, Zhang Xu hurried over.
"Sixth Prince, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Zhang Xu asked in a frivolous manner.
This bird guy is still keeping us in suspense?
Yun Zheng smiled and replied: "Let me tell you the good news first!"
Zhang Xu chuckled, stepped forward and said, "I found someone who can get the warhorse!"
real?
Yun Zheng's heart instantly became excited.
However, thinking about the bad news Zhang Xu said, Yun Zheng's joy suddenly diminished by half, and he asked tentatively: "Don't tell me that the bad news is that war horses are very expensive?"
"As expected of you, the Sixth Prince. You are so smart!"
Zhang Xu flattered him and said bitterly: "He wants fifty gold for a warhorse!"
"How much...how much?"
Yun Zheng almost bit his tongue. "Fifty gold? Are you crazy? What kind of warhorse is that? How dare he ask for fifty gold for one?"
Fifty gold for a war horse!
Isn't that equivalent to five thousand taels of silver per horse?
So his six million taels of silver are enough to buy more than a thousand war horses?
Isn't this fucking too dark?
Even more evil than the profiteer Zhang Xu!
"It's just an ordinary warhorse."
Zhang Xu shrugged and whispered, "And there aren't many horses, only twenty! That man is a relative of the horse manager of Moyang Horse Farm, but the horses at the farm are strictly controlled, so he didn't dare to move too many..."
Twenty horses?
Yun Zheng felt secretly bitter.
Damn you!
The quantity is small and it’s very expensive!
What the hell does he want with just twenty war horses?
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, and then said to Zhang Xu: "You should talk to him more and ask him to lower the price of the horses. Besides, twenty war horses are too few, at least one hundred should be needed!"
“Let me try!”
Zhang Xu nodded, "But don't hold your hopes too high. That person said, if it's just for a few dollars, who would be willing to take such a big risk to do something that would cost them their lives?"
Yun Zheng nodded, "I understand! Let's try it first!"
Indeed, if anyone is caught smuggling war horses from the imperial stables, he will definitely lose his head!
The risks of this matter are indeed very high.
Let’s take a look first!
If it really doesn't work, then just forget it.
Although he wanted a war horse, he couldn't be taken advantage of like this!
Damn it, if I ever completely fall out with Wei Wenzhong in the future, I’ll just rob Moyang Horse Farm first!
However, after thinking about it carefully, Yun Zheng temporarily gave up the idea.
It is unlikely that he and Wei Wenzhong will completely fall out; at most they will compete secretly.
After all, if he tried to seize the Moyang Horse Farm, it would be tantamount to rebellion!
well!
It seems that if we want to get a large number of war horses, we still have to attack Beihuan!
Yeah, that's it!
What's the point of robbing your own people?
If you want to steal war horses, go to Beihuan!
Snatching war horses from Beihuan was not only a success, but also a great achievement!
Just as Yun Zheng was daydreaming, Zhang Xu smiled frivolously again, "Sixth Prince, you see, the weather in Shuobei is getting colder, isn't it?"
"yes!"
Yun Zheng nodded and asked with a puzzled look: "What do you want to express?"
Zhang Xu chuckled and immediately said, "Look, you even have someone to warm your bed..."
"Who do you fancy?"
Yun Zheng instantly understood what Zhang Xu meant.
Chen Luoyan always says that he is a pervert, but Zhang Xu is the real pervert, okay?
"Ming Yue!"
Zhang Xu chuckled and smacked his lips, "I didn't think this girl was that pretty before, but after coming to Shuobei, she's always been mean to me. But I think she's getting more and more exciting! Your Highness, do you think we both have the masochistic tendencies you mentioned?"
Yun Zheng was speechless when he heard this.
"You have masochistic tendencies, don't take me with you!"
Yun Zheng smiled and glared at Zhang Xu, then shook his head and said, "I can't help you with this. If you want her to warm your bed, go and hook her up yourself."
Zhang Xu said bitterly: "If I dare to hook up with her, she will chop me to pieces!"
"I'm not afraid of shit!"
Yun Zheng joked, "She's just good at talking, can she really chop you up alive? Just go and flirt with her. Doesn't she also have medical skills? If she hurts you, I'll let her heal you! In this way, don't you have a chance?"
"this……"
Zhang Xu tilted his head and thought about it, then slapped his thigh and said, "Let's do it!"
"Forehead……"
Yun Zheng choked slightly, "I was just talking casually, you're not serious, are you?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Xu chuckled, "How's the saying? If you are willing to sacrifice your life, you will dare to dethrone the emperor!"
Yun Zheng's face twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment...
