Dingbei!
"Great victory! Great victory in Shuofang!"
The messenger with three red flags on his back rushed into the west gate of Dingbei at a rapid speed.
Hearing what the messenger shouted, the soldiers guarding the city immediately started talking again.
"Another great victory in Shuofang?"
"No way?"
"Maybe it's a repeat of the great victory we had earlier?"
"How is that possible? It's been more than ten days since that great victory! It's impossible for the news to be repeated after such a long time!"
"How can this be a great victory? The Shuofang soldiers are winning battles every day, but we are staying in the city all day long. This is too embarrassing!"
"Well, who says it's not?"
...
...
A group of soldiers were talking about it, and so were the people in the city.
As the messenger rushed into the Zhenbei General's Mansion, the news of Shuofang's another great victory spread like wildfire.
When Wei Wenzhong saw the battle report brought by the messenger, he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
Yu Shizhong and Feng Yu, two of Yun Zheng's men, saw through Beihuan's trick of attacking the camp and used fire attack to annihilate 10,000 Beihuan soldiers who attacked the camp with a loss of less than ten people!
With less than ten people, we annihilated ten thousand enemies!
Ten days later, the Shuofang Tian soldiers once again broke their previous record for casualty ratio!
They haven't even started fighting with Beihuan yet, but the Shuofang Tian soldiers have already annihilated 26,000 enemies?
The key point is, all in all, Yun Zheng and his men suffered only 500 casualties!
Crazy!
Either I am crazy, or this world is crazy!
"Is this absolutely true?"
Wei Wenzhong asked the messenger in a trembling voice.
Although he knew that the messenger would not dare to lie about the results of the battle, he still couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Absolutely true!"
The messenger answered firmly.
"I will go and see it myself this time!"
Wei Wenzhong could no longer sit still, and hurriedly called Dugu Ce to lead a group of personal soldiers to attack the Liefeng Gorge.
He wanted to see whether Yun Zheng and his men could achieve such great results.
"Brother Dugu, do you think they can really do it?"
On the way, Wei Wenzhong asked Dugu Ce in a daze.
Dugu Ce nodded slightly, "If the process described in the battle report is true, then it should be possible to do it."
The key to this battle was to see through Beihuan's tricks in advance and set a trap for Beihuan soldiers who attacked the camp.
The fire was so big that it was enough to burn most of the Beihuan soldiers.
The remaining panicked remnants used cavalry to shoot and fire, giving the enemy no chance to engage in close combat.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed not difficult to kill 10,000 elite soldiers of Beihuan with less than ten people.
This has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but only with the wisdom of the leader.
Wei Wenzhong thought silently for a while, and replied: "If this is true, I should probably transfer the prince to Suining Guard or Jing'an Guard, and let the prince lead his troops to perform extraordinary feats again..."
"this……"
Dugu Ce frowned slightly, "Isn't this bad? The emperor wants the prince to train the field soldiers. If the general directly transfers the prince to the front, if something happens to the prince, the general will be implicated!"
"The prince has an expert under his command!"
Wei Wenzhong said: "I would like to transfer the masters under the prince's command to the front, but those people are the prince's palace soldiers, and I have no right to transfer them! Therefore, I can only transfer the prince to the front! I believe that the masters under the prince's command will protect the prince!"
We can’t let Yun Zheng stay in Shuofang any longer!
If he stays there any longer, his wings will become completely rigid!
If there were a few more victories like this, I'm afraid Yun Zheng's prestige in the Northern Army would surpass mine!
A strong sense of crisis came over Wei Wenzhong.
He must come up with a countermeasure!
Dugu Ce thought about it and replied: "Well, let's ask the prince for his opinion! Or, send someone to deliver a letter to the emperor and let him make the decision!"
"Tell me about it when you see the prince later!"
Wei Wenzhong said: "Let's see what the prince means first. I believe that the prince is a man who knows the big picture."
"Um!"
Dugu Ce nodded slightly and said no more.
They rode at full speed all the way and finally arrived at the Riftwind Canyon before dark.
At this moment, Yun Zheng's men were still cleaning up the battlefield.
In Yun Zheng's words, these corpses must be disposed of immediately after being shown to people.
Otherwise, plague is likely to occur next year.
Looking at the piles of corpses before them, the two had no choice but to believe what was written in the battle report.
"Is the prince here?"
Wei Wenzhong grabbed a soldier and asked.
"The prince is among the sentinels."
The soldier pointed to the sentry standing on a pile of ruins.
This sentinel is the only relatively intact shelter around.
Those tents had long since been burned to ashes.
"What's going on on the river?"
At this time, Wei Wenzhong noticed the big hole on the river again.
The high temperature melted the ice on the river surface.
All the bodies that had not yet been burned completely sank into the river.
"I think I know what's going on."
Dugu Ce asked, "General, have you forgotten that they wanted to exchange bodies with the Beihuan people?"
Wei Wenzhong was slightly stunned, then reacted.
That should be what was left over from burning corpses!
Knowing this, Wei Wenzhong did not ask any more questions.
When the two rushed to the sentry, they found a few soldiers to briefly understand the situation.
When they learned that Yun Zheng and his men had actually exchanged three thousand war horses and did not allow the Beihuan people to take back even a single corpse, the two men almost dropped their jaws to the ground.
Bei Huan actually gave them war horses?
This caused Beihuan to suffer a huge loss!
While expressing his emotion, Wei Wenzhong started to make some plans in his mind.
Yun Zheng and his men seized some war horses last time, and this time they got another three thousand war horses.
With so many war horses, it's impossible for them all to be in the hands of a group of Tian soldiers, right?
There is no need to think about the war horses of Yun Zheng’s soldiers.
Those were Yun Zheng's palace soldiers, in other words, their private property.
No one except Emperor Wen has the right to confiscate it!
But shouldn’t we at least hand over some of the war horses we obtained in these two battles?
Well, I'll talk to Yun Zheng about this later.
Soon, the two entered the sentry.
Upon learning that the two were coming, Yun Zheng was happy to welcome them.
After a brief exchange of courtesies, they found a place to sit down among the ruined sentry boxes.
"Your Highness has once again achieved remarkable success in this battle. Congratulations!"
Wei Wenzhong said to Yun Zheng with a smile.
“No, no.”
Yun Zheng said modestly: "It's all the credit of my subordinates. I dare not take credit for it."
“No no!”
Wei Wenzhong waved his hand and said, "The credit of my subordinates is also the credit of the prince!"
"Haha, if that's what the general says, then I'll take the credit first." Yun Zheng laughed and said immediately, "By the way, general, you've seen that we even burned down the tents in order to annihilate those Beihuan soldiers who attacked the camp. Please quickly allocate some tents to us."
“This will definitely not be less!”
Wei Wenzhong readily agreed and said, "Your Majesty, I want to discuss something with you. What do you think?"
"General, please speak!"
Yun Zheng said with a smile.
Wei Wenzhong laughed and said straight to the point: "Your Highness has a master under his command. I would like to invite Your Highness to lead the army in Suining Guard or Jing'an Guard so that he can do great things for me. What do you think?"
"Is that so?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyes slightly, slowly stood up, and seemed to be thinking.
Just when Wei Wenzhong was about to reason with him, Yun Zheng suddenly turned around and kicked Wei Wenzhong hard...
