Although Yun Zheng and his men suffered some losses from the great battle, they also made a lot of money.
The Beihuan's war horses provided them with plenty of meat.
It's winter now, so there's no need to worry about the meat going bad.
With this meat, it will be enough for them to last until next spring!
Moreover, they also got a lot of armor. Although they were all leather armor, it was better than nothing, right?
At least we can arm a reserve army, right?
Most importantly, they got a large number of war horses.
Those slightly injured war horses can return to the battlefield after treatment.
All in all, they had harvested more than 4,400 war horses.
Thinking about the embarrassment they had experienced in bargaining for twenty war horses, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh that killing and robbing is still the most practical way!
...
...
If they do this a few more times, they will have tens of thousands of cavalry!
Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment, then called Yu Shizhong again.
"Release the two Beihuan captives and ask them to help me bring this letter to Bambu!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng handed the packed letter to Yu Shizhong.
They have already learned about the situation on the Beihuan front from the prisoners and confirmed that Bambu is on the front line.
"Should we give them two horses?"
Yu Shizhong took the letter and said, "If we don't give them horses, it will take some time for them to run back."
"Then give it to me!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly. "But forget about the war horses. Just give them two pack horses! Let's be good people and give them some dry food!"
"I will do it right away!"
Yu Shizhong accepted the order.
"What's the hurry?"
Yun Zheng called Yu Shizhong and took out another letter and gave it to him, "Send someone to deliver this battle report to Dingbei!"
Yu Shizhong took the battle report and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, would you like to write another battle report?"
"Why write an extra copy?"
Yun Zheng didn't understand.
Yu Shizhong replied, "I am worried that Wei Wenzhong may not report the truth, so Your Highness would be better off writing a battle report and sending it directly to the Imperial City."
They were all Yun Zheng's confidants, and they all knew that Yun Zheng and Wei Wenzhong were not on good terms.
It is normal to have such concerns.
“No need for this.”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Even if Wei Wenzhong is on the side of the Third Prince, he wouldn't dare to hide it! Do you think that Father didn't plant spies around him?"
Even if Wei Wenzhong doesn't report it, there are plenty of people who will!
In the early days, Emperor Wen even had to place spies around him, let alone Wei Wenzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Palace Army!
“Hmm… that’s true!”
Yu Shizhong nodded in agreement, "I was worrying too much."
After finishing the work at hand, Yun Zheng took Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin back home.
I haven't been home for a few days and I miss Ye Zi so much.
When Yun Zheng came out of the bath after returning to the mansion, Chen Luoyan was excitedly telling Ye Zi about the results of their battle.
"Your Highness is amazing!"
"Bei Huan is going to cry now!"
"It is our blessing to be able to follow His Highness!"
"If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely give Your Highness a great credit!"
"I think it doesn't matter whether it is rewarded or not, as long as His Majesty does not suspect Your Highness..."
The servants nearby were all amazed as they listened, and it was as if it was New Year's Day for everyone.
They were destined to board Yun Zheng's ship from the very beginning.
The stronger Yun Zheng is, the easier it will be for them.
If Yun Zheng was convicted by the court, they would all be implicated.
"Look, here comes our great hero."
Looking at Yun Zheng walking over, Ye Zi, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but joke.
"Haha, what does that have to do with me?"
Yun Zheng laughed and sat down, "This is all thanks to Luo Yan and Du Guiyuan!"
“…”
Chen Luoyan was speechless, looking at Yun Zheng with a dark face, "You still want to give us the credit?"
"It must be placed on your heads!"
Yun Zheng shrugged: "Although my father will be suspicious of me sooner or later, it is always better to be suspicious later!"
If Emperor Wen knew that all this was his doing, it would be strange if he did not suspect him.
Although giving the credit to Shen Luoyan and the others might not completely dispel Emperor Wen's suspicion, it could at least temporarily paralyze Emperor Wen for a while.
"In fact, even if His Majesty knew, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you now."
Ye Zi smiled and said, "Your Majesty must understand that our current internal strife is giving Bei Huan an opportunity."
"right!"
Shen Luoyan nodded and said: "No matter how stupid he is, he can't touch you at this time!"
"No need to move us."
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at the two girls and said, "Father, all you need to do is stop supplying us with food and grass. That will be enough for us to survive!"
The two women were surprised, then shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Yes!
They only thought that they were strong in both military and military power and had the capital to make Emperor Wen be cautious, but they did not consider the issue of supplies at all.
They support more than 100,000 people!
In this cold winter, if there is no supply from the court, they will either have to buy food, rob food, or wait to starve to death!
It is not certain that you can buy enough food for more than 100,000 people in Shuobei!
"Okay, then let us take the credit first!"
Shen Luoyan pursed her lips and smiled, “Anyway, our credit is also your credit!”
Yun Zheng is already a prince!
No matter how much rewards you receive, it’s basically the end of the road.
At most, he would be rewarded with some gold and silver, and his actual title would be raised.
Emperor Wen could not give any other rewards.
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, jokingly saying, "Well, your awareness has become higher!"
"You talk about this to me every day, how can I not be more aware?"
Chen Luoyan was in a good mood and rarely said the word "get lost" to Yun Zheng.
Ye Zi smiled at the two of them, and then instructed the servants who were gathered around, "Don't gather here, go and do your own things. I will ask the kitchen to prepare extra meals for everyone, so that everyone can celebrate properly!"
"Thank you, Madam Zi!"
The servants dispersed happily.
"By the way, have you finished writing the battle report?"
Ye Zi asked Yun Zheng again.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I have already had it sent out."
Speaking of battle reports, Shen Luoyan curiously asked about the contents of the reports.
Yun Zheng did not hide anything and told the contents of the battle report truthfully.
In addition to giving the main credit to Shen Luoyan and his team, the battle report also reported the results and losses.
Yun Zheng reported the number of enemies killed truthfully.
But he simply cut the number of captured war horses in half.
There's nothing I can do because my family is poor.
I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it!
Looking at Yun Zheng's frugal appearance, the two girls couldn't help but giggle.
"Okay, you guys chat first!"
Shen Luoyan stood up and said, "I have to take a shower too! After the battle, I am so dirty and uncomfortable!"
"Let's go together!"
Yun Zheng teased.
“Go to hell!”
Shen Luoyan glared at him with a blushing face and ran away quickly.
"There's no fun at all."
Yun Zheng shrugged, his eyes fell on Ye Zi again, and he said with a sly smile: "It's been such a long time since we last met, did you miss me?"
Ye Zi blushed and glared at him angrily: "You haven't even drunk any wine, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Just because I didn't drink, it's not nonsense!"
Yun Zheng blinked, "It's still early, come for a walk with me!"
“No!”
Ye Zi refused without thinking.
Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and smirked: "If you don't want to go, I can carry you out."
"you……"
Ye Zi was extremely embarrassed and annoyed. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded slightly.
If she didn't agree, this shameless bastard would really dare to carry her out...
