Seeing Fang Yunshi's appearance, Jia Yao couldn't help but frown and ask, "What's going on?"
“I hit you!”
He Asu pointed at Fang Yunshi angrily, "Princess, this bastard wants to kill our people..."
As he spoke, He Asu angrily told Fang Yunshi about the dirty trick he had mentioned.
If Jia Yao hadn't been there, he would have wanted to beat that bastard up again.
"You really blamed him wrongly."
Jia Yao raised his eyes and looked at He Asu, "Although his method will cause us to suffer heavy losses, the enemy will also suffer heavy losses! As long as the enemy suffers heavy losses, they will not dare to wantonly slaughter the tribes in our rear..."
If they allowed that large and elite cavalry to continue slaughtering like this, the losses in their rear would be extremely heavy.
Using the lives of 20,000 soldiers in exchange for inflicting heavy damage on that large cavalry force is indeed a good idea.
Hearing Jia Yao's words, Heasu's face suddenly turned dark.
...
...
This bastard's plan actually got the approval of the princess?
"Princess, you don't want to do this, do you?"
Heasu looked at Jia Yao with a frown, and then looked at Fang Yunshi fiercely.
If the princess really decided to do this, he would be the first to kill this bastard!
"I do, but we can't do that now."
Jia Yao sighed deeply and shook his head, "Our casualties are already heavy. We cannot let our warriors die again. As long as the tribes in the Herding Grassland can be relocated as soon as possible, we won't have to make such a huge sacrifice!"
That’s 20,000 people!
With such heavy casualties and the loss of another 20,000 soldiers' lives, their military strength will be even more depleted.
After the spring, the situation will become even more difficult to cope with.
Moreover, this elite cavalry was led by Yun Zheng!
If they can think of this trick, Yun Zheng can probably think of it too.
Yun Zheng probably had this in mind when he burned Wei Bian's fodder!
If they really did this now, they would most likely fall into Yun Zheng's trap.
If Yun Zheng's troops didn't suffer heavy losses, but their 20,000 men suffered heavy losses, it would be a loss.
He Asu let out a long sigh: "That's good..."
Jia Yao thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "First, find a way to feed a few horses, and then send people to the other side of the Riftwind Canyon overnight, and order the 5,000 defenders there to immediately retreat to Weibian with food and grass..."
In this situation, it is simply unrealistic to feed all the war horses.
However, if we think of a way to get some wild grass, we can still feed dozens or hundreds of horses.
After all, there is not a single blade of grass growing around here.
If you look around, you can still find some dry weeds.
However, this process may be a bit long.
But it's better than all the war horses being hungry.
"What?"
He Asu was puzzled, "We are going to open up our defenses?"
"What if I don't let go?"
Jia Yao said with a bitter face: "Can those 5,000 people stop Da Gan's cavalry? If we don't open up the defense line, we will only increase casualties and lose more people and food..."
All their men and horses are hungry now, and it will take at least three days for the food and fodder to be delivered!
They no longer had the strength to pursue that large group of cavalry!
The order for King Youxian to send people to meet the migrating tribe must have been mainly to protect the tribe’s cattle and sheep.
Faced with the fat meat delivered to his doorstep, how could the Right Wise King have the mind to pursue Yun Zheng and the others?
It’s good enough that the Right Wise King is willing to send troops to scare the large cavalry and force them to leave the Beihuan territory as soon as possible!
Moreover, Yun Zheng and his men were attacking with light equipment, so their speed must be quite fast.
If they want to pursue them, the troops of the Right Wise King must also launch a surprise attack with light equipment.
And if they were to raid with light equipment, it would certainly be impossible to carry much food and fodder.
As long as Yun Zheng and his men delay for a day or two, the troops under the Right Wise King will immediately face the same predicament they are in now!
By then, if the pursuit fails, I'm afraid we will suffer even greater losses!
Now, the most important thing is to quickly drive away this large group of cavalry.
All right!
She admitted that not only her mentor, but she herself was a little scared of Yun Zheng's beatings.
If it was a frontal attack, she would not be afraid of Yun Zheng.
But the most hateful thing about Yun Zheng is that he doesn't like head-on attacks, he likes to use conspiracies and tricks.
God knows how this bastard can come up with so many unexpected tricks?
They suffered defeat after defeat and lost a large amount of food and soldiers.
Now, the possibility of forcibly defeating the elite cavalry led by Yun Zheng is too small.
Spring is coming soon!
She has to make some preparations in advance for what will happen after the spring.
If they continue to get entangled with Dagan, their lives will become even more difficult after the spring.
Listening to Jia Yao's words, Heasu couldn't help but sigh with unwillingness on his face.
What the hell is this war!
They knew exactly where the enemy was and exactly what the enemy was targeting, but they had a large army but were powerless to stop them.
Now, we must take the initiative to give up the defense line in order to reduce losses.
Cowardly!
So frustrating!
It's such a shame that the war has come to this point!
Heasu felt aggrieved, but so did Jiayao.
In addition to feeling aggrieved, there is also shame.
The deadly situation was broken by Yun Zheng!
I was still full of confidence, thinking that Yun Zheng would not be able to escape this time.
As a result, Yun Zheng slapped her hard and woke her up from her sweet dream.
If we had known this would happen, we would have simply withdrawn from Sanbian City.
Suddenly, Jia Yao felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
Jia Yao rubbed his head weakly, and waved his hand at He Asu, "Alright! Let's kill some war horses first to replenish the soldiers' physical strength! In addition, take some war horses out of the city to graze on wild grass, and try to let the war horses recover some physical strength..."
Heasu glanced at Jiayao and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After hesitating for a moment, Heasu left with a depressed heart.
…
late at night.
A horseman on a fast horse rushed into Dingbei in panic.
"Urgent report from Jing'an Guard!"
The messenger with a panicked face was brought before Wei Wenzhong.
Wei Wenzhong recognized at a glance that this was Wei Shuo's personal soldier.
"What's the urgent news?"
Wei Wenzhong asked hurriedly.
The messenger said angrily, "General, the garrison at Gubian failed to break out. Less than 500 of the 40,000-man army managed to break out. The King of Jingbei, the Princess of Jingbei, and the deputy commander were all killed in the battle. Their bodies have been sent to the Jing'an Guard by the soldiers who managed to break out..."
"What?"
Wei Wenzhong's face was filled with shock, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.
Dead!
All dead!
OK!
Very good!
Yun Zheng and Dugu Ce are both dead!
Now, no one in the Northern Army can threaten his position!
After trying hard to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Wei Wenzhong pretended to be sad and angry, "Is this... absolutely true?"
"Absolutely true!"
The messenger lowered his head and wailed, "Their bodies have been taken to Jing'an Guard. General Wei sent me here to report the situation and inquire about the follow-up measures..."
Wei Wenzhong thought silently for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You rush back tonight and tell General Wei that I will arrange the things on hand and go to Jing'an Guard tomorrow morning! In addition, tell General Wei that we must strengthen our defenses to prevent Beihuan from launching a sneak attack while our army's morale is low!"
"yes!"
The messenger immediately took the order and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good enough as long as Wei Wenzhong believes it.
If this matter is not handled properly, the lives of my entire family will be in danger.
After the messenger left, Wei Wenzhong could no longer restrain himself and a bright smile appeared on his face.
If he hadn't been afraid of arousing suspicion, he would have laughed out loud.
Damn Yun Zheng!
Still want to ride on your own head and shit?
Without that "Mr. Leng" by his side, what kind of waves can Yun Zheng make?
After trying hard to suppress the urge to laugh out loud, Wei Wenzhong quickly returned to his study, thought for a long time, and then began to write.
There isn't much in the letter.
But Wei Wenzhong pondered over each word for a long time.
This is a letter to Emperor Wen, we cannot be careless.
He wanted to let Emperor Wen know the news of Yun Zheng and his men's death in battle, but at the same time he wanted to clear himself of any connection with the matter.
It was just a short letter, but Wei Wenzhong took nearly an hour to write it.
After leaving the study, Wei Wenzhong handed the wax-sealed letter in his hand to his personal guard, "Eight hundred miles to send this letter to the imperial city! Remember, you must personally hand this letter to His Majesty!"
"yes!"
The personal soldiers did not dare to delay and set off immediately.
As he watched his personal soldiers leave, Wei Wenzhong showed a sinister smile on his face.
Yun Zheng!
You forced me to do this!
Don't cry out for injustice when you go to hell!
In your next life, don’t go against me again!
