The roaring sound lasted for half an incense stick of time before gradually stopping.
Yun Zheng immediately called Wei Wenzhong and Dugu Ce, "Let the army set up camp and rest quickly. We have to exchange prisoners with Beihuan tomorrow. Now is not the time to celebrate!"
“Yes, yes!”
Dugu Ce slapped his head and said excitedly: "Let's go and pass the message now. Don't be too happy!"
"etc!"
Wei Wenzhong called Dugu Ce, "Brother Dugu, now that the Goubian City has been recovered, we will need to send people to guard the Weibian and Qingbian borders. One of us must return to Dingbei..."
If a large army is to be sent to defend and clear the borders, troops must be drawn from other places.
Once the troops are mobilized, the defense line in the rear must also be rearranged.
This included allocating food and fodder and ordering people to escort the food and fodder to the three border cities.
Even the location where Dagan stored food and fodder had to be moved forward, otherwise the supply line behind would be too long.
...
...
Listening to Wei Wenzhong's words, Dugu Ce couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
"Look at me, I'm so happy that I forget all these things."
Dugu Ce slapped his head and said with a smile.
Indeed, the army's entry into Gobian was only the first step.
There are many more things to come!
Dugu Ce thought silently for a while, and then said: "You are the commander of the Northern Army, so I'll leave these matters to you! I will be at the front line with the prince to prepare for the recovery of Weibian and Qingbian. What do you think?"
Wei Wenzhong seemed displeased when he heard this.
Seeing this, Dugu Ce quickly pulled Wei Wenzhong aside.
"General, I'm not trying to steal the credit from you."
Dugu Ce whispered, "Firstly, the mobilization of the various units and the allocation of food and fodder require your orders. You are too far away from the rear, and it will take a lot of time for the orders to be conveyed to the various units, or for the various units to contact you for something urgent."
"Secondly, the relationship between you and the prince is a little tense. Now the emperor is handling this matter with the prince as the main person. I am afraid that you two will have a conflict in the front."
"Don't worry, you are the commander of the Northern Army. Regardless of whether you personally participated in the recovery of the three border cities, as long as the Northern Army is mobilized, if His Majesty counts the credit, you will definitely get a share."
Dugu Ce persuaded patiently.
He really had no intention of stealing the credit from Wei Wenzhong.
There is nothing to snatch away for this credit.
The greatest credit must go to Yun Zheng.
They just get some credit for assisting.
"I'm not a greedy person."
Wei Wenzhong replied indifferently, snorting coldly: "Go and tell the prince. If he agrees, I will return to Dingbei! Otherwise, he will complain to the emperor again, saying that I ran back to Dingbei out of anger and refused to cooperate with him to recover the lost territory..."
Dugu Ce smiled helplessly and quickly found Yun Zheng.
"This king is not that stingy!"
Yun Zheng said calmly: "This is a major event to recover lost territory. Even if I am dissatisfied with Wei Wenzhong, I will cooperate with him! How about this, you discuss how to adjust the defense line in the rear tonight. It won't be too late for him to leave for Dingbei tomorrow!"
When retaking the three border cities, Yun Zheng didn’t care whether Wei Wenzhong was there or not.
However, he wanted to hear how Wei Wenzhong and others were going to adjust their defense.
He didn't want Wei Wenzhong to mobilize Shuofang's troops while he was away.
After a simple meal, Wei Wenzhong and Dugu Ce called together a few generals to discuss the adjustment of the defense line.
Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan just listened from the side without saying anything.
Now that Gobian has been recovered, it is a bit inappropriate to use Mayi as a grain storage area.
Wei Wenzhong planned to set up the main grain storage area in Dingbei.
However, Dingbei does not have so many granaries for the time being, so some of the grain and grass must be transferred to Jing'an Wei and Suining Wei.
In this way, the army originally guarding Mayi can be withdrawn to prepare for the subsequent entry into Qingbian and Weibian.
In addition, we must strengthen the defense in the direction of Tianhu Lake to prevent the Beihuan army from crossing the Baishui River to launch a surprise attack, and also to protect Jing'an Guard.
And Shuofang has now also been included as a defense focus.
Shuofang is now an important position on the left wing of the Northern Army.
However, Wei Wenzhong and his men believed that Shuofang already had an army of more than 20,000, plus the old and weak farmers, it should be enough to defend Shuofang alone.
Therefore, no troops were withdrawn from Shuofang, nor were any troops sent to Shuofang for reinforcement.
When talking about the arrangements for Shuofang, Wei Wenzhong asked again: "Your Majesty, you are the commander of Shuofang, what do you think of this arrangement?"
"no problem."
Yun Zheng nodded casually.
Wei Wenzhong and his men don’t know yet that Shuofang actually has more than 30,000 combat-capable soldiers.
So many people are enough to defend Shuofang!
Moreover, it is getting closer to the spring.
The ice on the Baishui River will gradually melt.
As long as the ice on the Baishui River becomes thinner and people and horses cannot pass through, there will be no need to focus on defending the Langya Pass and the Liefeng Canyon.
Seeing that Yun Zheng had no objection, the plan to adjust the defense line was basically finalized.
The next step is to transport the grain and fodder from Mayi to various cities.
…
Although the area was severely damaged, a small number of houses were still intact.
Of course, the place where Yun Zheng and the others lived was also complete, and was only separated from Jia Yao's room by a wall.
Outside, Yu Shizhong brought a group of people to guard the place closely.
No one except their own people can contact Jia Yao.
Just as Yun Zheng was about to return to his room, he heard crying coming from Jia Yao's room.
Is this... Shen Luoyan's voice?
Yun Zheng suddenly stopped and asked Yu Shizhong who was guarding the door, "What's going on inside?"
"I don't know either!"
Yu Shizhong replied helplessly: "The princess and Madam Miaoyin are both inside."
Yun Zheng was surprised.
Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin both ran to Jiayao’s room?
Why are you still crying?
Could it be that they still have a deep sisterly love, and Chen Luoyan is reluctant to let Jia Yao leave?
this……
It’s impossible just think about it!
With full of curiosity, Yun Zheng pushed open the door and walked in.
At this moment, the three women in the room all looked unhappy.
Shen Luoyan leaned on Miaoyin, tears in her eyes.
Miaoyin and Jiayao also looked gloomy.
Yun Zheng frowned slightly and looked at the three people with confusion, "What's going on with you?"
"Nothing... nothing."
Chen Luoyan wiped away her tears and left Miaoyin.
Miaoyin winked at Yun Zheng, indicating that Yun Zheng should not ask any more questions.
have to!
Can’t ask anymore!
I really don’t know what they were talking about, they actually started crying.
Jia Yao raised his eyes to look at Yun Zheng and said calmly: "Your two wives are not bad. If we put aside our personal positions, we should be friends."
"Not only can you be friends, you can be sisters."
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at Jia Yao and said, "It's not too late for you to agree to the marriage now!"
"It's not too late for you to agree to marry into my Beihuan family." Jia Yao curled her lips and said tit-for-tat: "As long as you are willing, I don't mind assisting you!"
have to!
We are back to this unsolved problem.
"Forget it. Since neither of us can convince the other, let's not discuss this issue anymore."
Yun Zheng shrugged, "We will exchange prisoners tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed early! Don't stay up too late, otherwise, your Beihuan people will see that you look bad and think I'm abusing you!"
Having said that, Yun Zheng prepared to take Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin away.
"What's the hurry?"
Jia Yao shook his head and smiled, "I still have something to tell you!"
