Listening to Yun Zheng's words, several people couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that!"
Dugu Ce slapped his head suddenly, "Our army is approaching, and the Tianhu defenders are in a panic, but the traitor Wei Wenzhong is still powerful, and they will definitely be coerced by Wei Wenzhong! But once we let him go, the problem will be thrown to Wei Wenzhong!"
"What's the problem?"
Qin Qihu asked in confusion.
Dugu Ce smiled and said, "Although there is still plenty of food and grass in Tianhu, it can only sustain for a month! Wei Wenzhong will definitely not be able to stay in Tianhu forever, he must find a way to escape!"
"Then what?"
Qin Qihu still didn't understand, "We all retreated, what if Wei Wenzhong escaped?"
"He can't run away!" Yun Zheng took over the conversation, "As long as Wei Wenzhong leads his troops out of the city, there will definitely be many soldiers who don't want to be coerced by him and will flee or surrender to us!"
It’s not that those soldiers don’t want to escape now, it’s that there is simply no way to escape!
...
...
Their large army was blocking the way outside, and Wei Wenzhong was behind them.
Before they could escape, they were probably executed by Wei Wenzhong.
But once you’re out of the city, it’s a different story.
Shen Luoyan thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Then Wei Wenzhong can still cross the Baishui River from the gap on the Tianhu side and escape into Beihuan! Are we going to watch this traitor surrender to Beihuan?"
"If Wei Wenzhong wants to surrender to Beihuan, it depends on whether the soldiers agree or not!" Dugu Ce said with a smile: "If Wei Wenzhong really dares to do so, I'm afraid those soldiers will tie him up and bring him to us!"
Isn't Wei Wenzhong's escape to Beihuan tantamount to admitting the fact that he was collaborating with the enemy?
Even if there were people willing to flee to Beihuan with Wei Wenzhong, they would definitely be a very small minority.
"Yes!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly and smiled confidently: "Actually, I just want to capture Wei Wenzhong! If I want to kill Wei Wenzhong directly, someone will give me Wei Wenzhong's head tomorrow!"
What?
Dugu Ce and Qin Qihu's faces changed.
What does Yun Zheng mean?
Could it be that he has people in Tianhu too?
Chen Luoyan understood what Yun Zheng meant. Yun Zheng should be talking about the royal weapon.
She knew that Wang Qi was leading the troops in Tianhu, but she was not sure whether Wang Qi would help Yun Zheng capture Wei Wenzhong.
After all, people's hearts are hidden.
Therefore, she never mentioned this to anyone around her.
"Brother, do you have anyone in Tianhu?"
Qin Qihu couldn't help but ask this question after all.
"right!"
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Let's withdraw our troops immediately. When most of the soldiers led by Wei Wenzhong have escaped, my people should find a chance to tie up Wei Wenzhong!"
After getting the exact answer, Dugu Ce and Qin Qihu's expressions suddenly became complicated.
Are there people from Yun Zheng in Liantian Lake?
Doesn't that mean that Yun Zheng has already begun to gradually seize control of the Northern Palace Army?
Facing the two people's gazes, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "I know what you are thinking. To put it bluntly, if I wanted to rebel, I would kill you two first at the edge of the hill! Why wait until now?"
These two are really stubborn.
At the slightest sign of trouble, they would wonder whether they should rebel.
They don’t even think about whether they would still be alive today if they really rebelled.
After hearing what Yun Zheng said, the two of them were slightly choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Let me tell you something else!"
Yun Zheng looked at the two with a smile on his face, "In fact, in the battle in Death Valley, we didn't lose a single person!"
At this point, there is no need to hide this from them anymore.
"What?"
The two of them suddenly screamed and looked at Yun Zheng in disbelief.
In that battle, no one was killed?
This...how is it possible!
In exchange for zero casualties, more than 20,000 elite cavalrymen of Beihuan were buried in the Death Valley?
How is this possible?
Now that things had come to this, Yun Zheng told the two of them their previous plan in full.
Of course, he still didn't mention the gunpowder, he just said that the avalanche was caused by a special method.
As Yun Zheng finished his words, the two were completely dumbfounded.
In other words, ever since Yun Zheng successfully ambushed the Beihuan cavalry in the Riftwind Canyon for the first time, he had begun to plan for the Death Valley?
In the end, he actually succeeded?
This…this…
Suddenly, the two felt their brains were shutting down.
They seem to have lost the ability to think normally.
Dugu Ce even felt that all the years he had led the army were in vain!
Zero casualties!
To inflict heavy damage on the enemy with zero casualties, this is the record that many generals dream of!
Moreover, he didn't just kill a few hundred or thousands of enemy soldiers!
But an army of more than 20,000!
With such a record, I guess even Yun Zheng himself can’t surpass it, right?
Suddenly, Dugu Ce's expression changed when he looked at Yun Zheng.
These days, he has tried his best to overestimate Yun Zheng.
But unexpectedly, I underestimated Yun Zheng in the end.
Yun Zheng may not be a loyal minister.
But he will definitely be a world-famous general in the future!
No!
He is already a world-famous general!
Last night, when he was patrolling the camp, he heard several generals discussing Yun Zheng.
Some people praised Yun Zheng: His three-foot-long sword shook the world, and he rode a white horse to attack the northern border!
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed true.
Yun Zheng looked at the two of them with burning eyes, and said earnestly: "I am telling you all this not to make you think I am so great, nor to show off my achievements to you!"
"I just want to tell you that I care about the casualties of my own people!"
"For me, raising an army to rebel is the most stupid and helpless thing to do."
"I won't attack our own people unless it's absolutely necessary."
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, the two fell into deep thought again.
They believed that Yun Zheng cared about the casualties of his own people.
Except for the breakout battle at Gobian, every battle that Yun Zheng fought inflicted heavy damage on the enemy at a very low cost.
Such a person is definitely a good general.
Dugu Ce pondered silently for a while, then asked with a wry smile: "My Lord, you didn't join us in the breakout before, probably because you were worried that we would destroy the bridge after crossing the river, right?"
"really."
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "I'm afraid that if you succeed in breaking through, you will capture me..."
"ah?"
Qin Qihu's eyes widened.
Yun Zheng actually has such considerations?
"Your Majesty is very cunning!"
Dugu Ce raised his thumb and said helplessly: "If you don't break out with us, I won't dare to touch the princess! But if I follow the princess to capture Wei Shuo, at least in the eyes of others, it means that I have made a choice. If I don't join the prince's boat, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it..."
"You think too highly of me."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled: "I really didn't think so much at that time!"
No matter how great he is, he is not as great as Dugu Ce says!
However, Dugu Ce's statement in front of those who broke out did indirectly help him.
Now, even if Dugu Ce didn't want to get on board this ship, he had no choice.
"I'm worried about my family."
Dugu Ce said worriedly.
He was originally Emperor Wen's man.
Now it is equivalent to switching to Yun Zheng.
Even if Yun Zheng did not rebel, Emperor Wen would definitely not let his family go.
"Don't worry about that."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "In the eyes of the emperor, your family, including me, is definitely not as important as Sanbian City! I can assure you that the emperor will not touch your family and will send your family to Shuobei!"
"Um?"
Dugu Ce's eyes suddenly lit up, "What's your plan, my Lord?"
Yun Zheng shook his head gently. "It's not a brilliant plan. It's just a deal with my father! I believe that my father will agree to my request..."
