After completing the reunion with the main army, Jia Yao also began to lead the army towards the Rift Wind Canyon.
Jia Yao didn't care at all about the huge army behind him.
They still have 80,000 troops!
If the enemy behind them really dares to attack, they are fully capable of fighting.
In field combat, Beihuan warriors are never afraid of Dagan's soldiers!
If they could defeat the enemy behind them in one fell swoop, they would even dare to launch a counterattack!
Even if all 80,000 of them died, it would be worth it as long as the Northern Palace Army was completely defeated.
Soon, people from the rear came to report that as soon as they moved, Dagan's army also followed.
However, he still maintained his previous distance and had no intention of attacking.
"I knew that Wei Wenzhong would not dare to attack!"
...
...
Jia Yao snorted disdainfully and didn't take Wei Wenzhong seriously at all.
Looking at the Northern Army, the only opponent she recognized was Yun Zheng.
"Wei Wenzhong is indeed very cautious. Even in such a situation, he can still resist attacking!"
Bambu nodded slightly. "If this man is a general defending a city, it would be extremely difficult to capture the city he is defending! However, as a commander, he is indeed a little bit lacking."
“That’s right!”
Jia Yao nodded slightly, "This kind of person is too cautious and is not likely to make mistakes! However, the emperor of Da Gan asked him to guard Shuobei, wasn't it originally to guard it?"
Bambu was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.
Yes!
Although Wei Wenzhong is the commander, he is still on the defensive!
To put it bluntly, he is still a general defending the city!
It’s just that this city has become the entire Shuobei!
Jia Yao smiled calmly and changed the subject, "Master, do you think Yun Zheng has any intention of being disloyal?"
A rebellious heart?
Bambu thought for a moment and nodded, "There should be! This man is obviously good at calculating, but he is treated as a waste in the imperial city of Dagan! If he had no intention, why would he have endured for so many years?"
"That's what I thought!"
Jia Yao nodded slightly, "If he raises an army to rebel in Shuobei, it should be good for us, right?"
"Of course!" Bambu replied without hesitation: "As long as he raises an army to rebel, the general will be powerless to conquer us!"
Yun Zheng is plotting a rebellion, so Emperor Dagan will definitely send troops to fight him!
By that time, Dagan would be in the midst of civil strife, so how could it have the energy to conquer Beihuan?
Jia Yao's lips curled up slightly, and he muttered to himself: "It seems that I need to do a great deed for Yun Zheng!"
"What did the princess say?"
Bambu didn't hear clearly what Jiayao said.
"nothing."
Jia Yao said casually: "I say, we should give Yun Zheng a push and make him rebel!"
Give Yun Zheng a push?
Bambu looked at Jiayao suspiciously, "How do you push it?"
"Don't worry, let's talk about it later!"
Jia Yao replied calmly and said no more.
Bambu wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Jiayao was unwilling to say more, he had to give up the idea for the time being.
The army continued to move forward.
When they were less than twenty miles away from the Riftwind Canyon, the spy they sent out rode up with a Beihuan cavalryman covered in blood.
Looking at the person coming, Jiayao and Bambu were both stunned.
Could it be that their spies were ambushed by Yun Zheng's men?
As they traveled along the way, Yun Zheng did send a number of scouts to keep an eye on their movements, but they only observed from a distance and never launched any attacks on them.
Could it be that Yun Zheng really set a trap for them in the Riftwind Canyon?
Soon, the two men rode their horses to Jia Yao.
"Princess……"
The blood-soaked Beihuan cavalryman dismounted, knelt on one knee and wailed: "My troops were ordered to escort food and grass, but were ambushed by the enemy in the Riftwind Gorge. All the food and grass were looted. Of my 15,000 troops, only one in ten survived..."
"What?"
Bambu and Jiayao screamed at the same time, their eyes suddenly turned blood red.
Fifteen thousand troops!
Only one out of ten survives!
Are they crazy?
What were they doing in Riftwind Canyon?
Also escorting food and fodder?
The food and fodder were looted by the enemy?
Jia Yao suddenly jumped off his horse, stared at the blood-soaked soldiers with murderous intent, and roared, "Who told you to escort the grain to the Riftwind Canyon?"
The soldier was terrified and stammered, "This... this is... the order of the Imperial Master!"
“Nonsense!”
Bambu roared: "I have been in the army all along. When did I ever order you to escort the food?"
"You'd better tell the truth. Who gave the order?"
Jia Yao grabbed a soldier and said murderously: "If you dare to frame the Imperial Master again, I will tear you into pieces!"
The soldiers wailed: "Really...really the Imperial Master!"
"fart!"
Bambu was so angry that he was shaking all over. "My master has always been beside the princess. My master ordered you to escort the food and grass. Doesn't the princess know that? My army is about to retreat. Why do I need you to escort the food and grass?"
“This…this…”
The soldiers' minds were in a state of confusion and they had no idea what was going on.
Jia Yao tried hard to suppress the urge to kill, gritted his teeth and growled: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"This is really the order from the Imperial Master!"
The soldier wailed again, and then hesitantly told the whole story.
Three days ago, Bambu sent someone with his golden knife to Weibian City, saying that they had captured Shuofang City, but the food and grass in the city had been burned by the Shuofang army in advance, and asked them to escort the food and grass immediately and send it to Shuofang through the Liefeng Gorge.
The other party also said that the matter was extremely urgent and asked them to deliver the food and fodder within three days.
After receiving the order, they immediately began to prepare food and fodder, and marched almost day and night, completing three days' journey in two days.
When they arrived at the Riftwind Canyon, they saw the Beihuan soldiers who came to support them.
But when they passed through the Riftwind Canyon, the enemy suddenly launched an attack.
It was not until this time that they realized that those people were soldiers from Da Gan in disguise.
They were caught off guard and soon suffered heavy casualties, with only a small number of people taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
Hearing the soldier's words, Bambu's chest suddenly heaved violently.
Golden knife!
His golden sword was lost to Yun Zheng as early as when he was in the Imperial City!
He even forgot the existence of the golden sword!
However, Yun Zheng did not forget his golden sword!
Yun Zheng used his golden knife to not only inflict severe damage on them, but also robbed them of their most needed food!
"Yun Zheng! I will tear you into pieces!"
Bambu roared to the sky with a ferocious look on his face.
In anger, Bambu felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground.
"Teacher!"
Jiayao held onto Banbu and growled in grief and anger: "I will take revenge someday! I, Beihuan, have not lost yet!"
Bambu was angry, and Jiayao was also angry.
Golden knife!
Damn golden knife!
With just a golden knife, he deceived their people.
Riftwind Canyon!
It's the Rift Valley again!
They have fallen three times in the same place!
Jia Yao held back her tears and clenched her fists until they creaked.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would skin Yun Zheng, the cunning bastard, and pull out his tendons...
