"What is Duke Yu doing here?"
While waiting at the camp gate, Shen Luoyan asked with confusion.
Yun Zheng raised his lips and replied, "What else can we do? We must be here to read the imperial edict! We have made great contributions before, but our father has not rewarded us yet!"
"reward?"
Shen Luoyan's eyes lit up, "Today is Chinese New Year! Duke Yu's arrival today seems a bit deliberate!"
"It must have been intentional!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled: "Perhaps, this is the surprise that father prepared for us!"
Surprise?
Shen Luoyan smiled sweetly.
She didn't think about surprises or anything like that for now.
...
...
As long as it's not a shock!
They stood at the gate of the camp and waited for about two quarters of an hour, and Xiao Wanchou finally arrived with a large group of people.
Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan looked at each other silently and quickly went forward.
"Young man Yun Zheng, nice to meet Duke Yu!"
Yun Zheng took the initiative to salute Xiao Wanchou.
Yun Zheng had great respect for Xiao Wanchou, a staunch veteran who advocated war.
"Your Highness, you can't do that!"
Xiao Wanchou quickly stopped Yun Zheng and said, "It is I who should pay my respects to His Highness and the Princess!"
“No, no!”
Yun Zheng waved his hands repeatedly, "Duke Yu is trying to shorten our lifespans!"
"No, no!" Xiao Wanchou laughed and said, "The emperor has instructed that these things must be delivered to your Highness before the end of the year. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"
It is true!
Yun Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Please ask Duke Yu to thank my father for me later."
"Of course, of course!"
Xiao Wanchou simply exchanged a few polite words, and immediately said hurriedly: "Your Highness, Princess, please accept the order first!"
have to!
This person is really decisive!
Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan nodded and immediately led everyone to receive the order.
Xiao Wanchou held the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly: "The emperor has ordered that Jingbei King Yun Zheng and Jingbei Queen Shen Luoyan lead the old and weak soldiers to severely inflict heavy damage to Beihuan..."
Xiao Wanchou read the imperial edict very quickly.
It feels like reciting a jingle.
Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan didn't hear clearly before Xiao Wanchou finished reading the imperial edict.
Afterwards, Xiao Wanchou handed the imperial edict to Yun Zheng, and pointed to the carriages loaded with boxes of all sizes and said, "Your Highness, please look back and take your time to read the imperial edict. The rewards are all here. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't exchange pleasantries with you!"
"Important?"
Shen Luoyan was puzzled, "Where is Duke Yu going next?"
Xiao Wanchou said anxiously: "I have to go to Dingbei quickly!"
Yun Zheng was surprised, "Father wants Duke Yu to lead the expedition to Beihuan?"
“No no!”
Xiao Wanchou shook his head and said, "I will return to the Imperial City to report, but on my way here I learned about the crisis in Shuobei, so I want to rush to Dingbei immediately to see if I can help!
Yun Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, Duke Yu. Go to the camp and drink some hot water first. I also have something to tell you."
No wonder Xiao Wanchou read the imperial edict so quickly!
It turns out that he is worried about the safety of Shuobei and wants to give advice to Wei Wenzhong.
It's really hard for this old general.
"Your Highness, let's stop being polite! Shuobei's safety is more important!"
Xiao Wanchou shook his head and refused, "It would be good if I could get to Dingbei a moment earlier!"
Xiao Wanchou was really worried about Shuobei's safety.
Who could have thought that Yun Zheng had defeated Bei Huan in succession before, but in the blink of an eye, the situation in Shuobei took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Don't worry, Duke Yu. What I'm talking to you about is also about the safety of Shuobei."
Yun Zheng held Xiao Wanchou and said, "It's cold outside. Let's go inside the tent and talk slowly. It won't take up too much of your time."
Xiao Wanchou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.
When following Yun Zheng towards the tent, Xiao Wanchou wanted to run away directly, which showed that he was really anxious.
Yun Zheng asked his men to settle the people who were delivering the things and the accompanying guards first, and then quickly followed Xiao Wanchou into the tent.
Looking at the big pot in the tent, Xiao Wanchou couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
However, thinking that today is the end of the year, Xiao Wanchou felt relieved.
There's nothing special about cooking some dumplings at the end of the year.
"Duke Yu has come all the way here, he must be hungry, right?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I don't have anything good to offer you. Duke Yu, please eat some dumplings first to fill your stomach. We can talk while we eat."
"good!"
Xiao Wanchou was straightforward.
Knowing that Xiao Wanchou was anxious, Yun Zheng didn't beat around the bush with him.
While Xiao Wanchou was eating dumplings, Yun Zheng directly told Xiao Wanchou about how he and Shen Luoyan had gone to Dingbei to offer advice to Wei Wenzhong, as well as their conflict.
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Xiao Wanchou couldn't help but put down his bowl and thought secretly.
After a moment, Xiao Wanchou said seriously, "In my opinion, both Your Highness and Wei Wenzhong are right about this matter! Your Highness's plan is indeed feasible, but the army supported by the court cannot be supported for a while, and Wei Wenzhong still has to consider the future. It is understandable that he is worried about casualties."
"I was indeed too impulsive at the time."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "But the situation is critical now. If Wei Wenzhong doesn't have a good solution, I'm worried that the 40,000 troops of Suining Guard will choose to break out!"
“Well, that’s really the biggest problem!”
Xiao Wanchou nodded, "I understand what Your Highness means! I will rush to Dingbei right now. If there is really no good solution, I will persuade Wei Wenzhong to act according to Your Highness's plan!"
"Thank you very much, Duke Yu." Yun Zheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Otherwise, how can you call him a veteran?
He knew what I meant before I even mentioned it.
He was not afraid of Xiao Wanchou going to persuade Wei Wenzhong.
Wei Wenzhong must be extremely unhappy with him now.
The more Xiao Wanchou persuaded, the less likely Wei Wenzhong would accept his advice.
Xiao Wanchou was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Your Highness, is this your plan, or..."
"How could I have imagined this!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "This was told to me by an expert in our camp! To be honest, he was the one who gave instructions to Du Guiyuan and Luo Yan on the previous plans..."
Xiao Wanchou raised his eyes slightly and asked again: "Your Highness, can you let me meet this master?"
"Of course you can!"
Yun Zheng nodded. "But, this guy must be hiding somewhere drinking. I can't find him for a while!"
Xiao Wanchou was in a hurry to go to Dingbei and had no time to wait, so he said, "Then wait until the siege of Suining Guard is lifted! When the time comes, I will come to Shuofang again and have a drink with Your Highness. Please help me introduce this expert to you!"
"good!"
Yun Zheng readily agreed, "I also want Duke Yu to bring some things to my father when he returns to the imperial city."
"Um!"
Xiao Wanchou quickly finished the remaining dumplings in the bowl and immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. The situation is urgent, so I will take my leave now!"
"I'll see Duke Yu off."
Yun Zheng stood up as well.
Soon, Yun Zheng sent Xiao Wanchou and his group away.
Watching them go away, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but look at Yun Zheng suspiciously, "Why do you want to bring up another expert? Isn't it enough to just say that it was Du Guiyuan and the others who came up with it?"
"Since Duke Yu is asking, it means he is beginning to doubt!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Actually, it's understandable that they are suspicious! Du Guiyuan and the others didn't have such great abilities before, how could they have such abilities after leaving Shuobei for five years?"
Shen Luoyan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
It seems that there are quite a lot of smart people in this court.
It's not easy to get away with it.
"But now, where can you find a master to give to Duke Yu?"
Shen Luoyan asked again with some concern.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "This is easy. Just find a steady old man to pretend to be him."
"How can it be so easy to fool him?" Shen Luoyan rolled her eyes at him. "Duke Yu is also a man who is well versed in military tactics. If he just tries to test you, won't the person you are looking for be exposed?"
"Can't I ask someone not to discuss military strategy with him?"
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "Or, I can tell that person not to talk to Duke Yu at all! Don't worry, I will arrange it in advance!"
"All right!"
Since Yun Zheng had made up his mind, Shen Luoyan was no longer worried, and said happily: "Hurry up and see what the imperial edict said, I didn't hear it clearly just now!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled.
It wasn't just Shen Luoyan who didn't hear clearly.
He didn't hear clearly...
