After daybreak, Shen Luoyan and Qin Qihu began to organize their troops and prepare for retreat.
Yun Zheng personally led more than a hundred riders to the outside of Tianhu City.
"Shout!"
Yun Zheng didn't say anything more and directly asked everyone to start speaking to the Tianhu defenders.
"King Jingbei has issued an order: Wei Wenzhong is collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country, intending to murder tens of thousands of troops on the border! The defenders of Tianhu Lake were coerced by Wei Wenzhong without knowing it, so no one will be held accountable! Anyone who captures Wei Wenzhong alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Everyone shouted again and again.
Soon, Wei Wenzhong of Tianhu could no longer sit still.
Under the protection of several personal soldiers, Wei Wenzhong climbed to the top of the city wall with Huo Gu and Wang Qi.
Seeing Yun Zheng, Wang Qi felt relieved.
As long as the prince is alive!
...
...
What he feared most was that he would kill Wei Wenzhong, but Yun Zheng would also die on the hill, and he would suffer from neither fate.
"The traitor Yun Zheng!"
Wei Wenzhong roared: "The emperor has shown great favor to you, how dare you team up with that bastard Dugu Ce to rebel? I advise you to turn back. The emperor may spare your life out of consideration for the relationship between father and son!"
"Wei Wenzhong, you dare to turn the tables?" Yun Zheng shouted angrily, "You colluded with Beihuan and caused heavy losses to our Gubian army! I will capture you alive, you bastard, and escort you to Beiyuan Shoal, where you will kowtow to the innocent soldiers who died in vain!"
Capture alive?
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Wang Qi on the top of the city wall suddenly understood.
It turns out that the prince wanted to capture Wei Wenzhong alive!
Wei Wenzhong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted angrily: "Traitor Yun Zheng! Just wait, the court will send troops soon to make you, the traitor, die without a burial place!"
"Okay! I'm waiting!"
Yun Zheng stared at Wei Wenzhong coldly and laughed loudly, "I have sent people to the imperial city to report the news. Let's see whether my father will kill all nine clans of Wei Wenzhong or send troops to capture me!"
After saying that, Yun Zheng was too lazy to waste time talking to Wei Wenzhong and quickly led his men away.
He just needed to let Wang Qi know that he wanted to capture Wei Wenzhong alive.
Let Wang Qi take care of the rest!
He believed that Wang Qi would find a way to capture Wei Wenzhong alive.
Even if Wang Qi couldn't catch Wei Wenzhong, Wei Wenzhong would have no way to escape.
However, it would be best if Wang Qi could capture Wei Wenzhong.
This will minimize casualties.
After shouting, Yun Zheng and Dugu Ce rushed to Dingbei.
As long as Dingbei is stable, Mayi will not be in chaos.
Finally, there is the most important Beilu Pass.
They must capture Beilu Pass before the imperial reinforcements arrive and keep the imperial reinforcements outside Beilu Pass, so as to avoid war with the imperial army to the greatest extent possible.
Dugu Ce didn't want to go to war with the imperial court, and Yun Zheng naturally didn't want to do that either.
If family members fight each other, wouldn't it be an advantage for Beihuan?
Shortly after the two men left, Wei Wenzhong received news that the army blocking the city gates on both sides had begun to retreat.
"retreat?"
Wei Wenzhong frowned and immediately judged: "Yun Zheng is a cunning bastard. He must be pretending to retreat in order to lure us out of the city to attack him!"
"right!"
Huo Gu nodded, "Yun Zheng definitely has bad intentions!"
Although he said this, Huo Gu felt very regretful in his heart.
If he had not had such a quarrel with Yun Zheng when he was in Shuofang, he would not be in such a difficult situation now.
He and Yun Zheng have some grudges against each other!
If he were to join Yun Zheng again now, Yun Zheng would probably settle accounts with him later, right?
But now, most of the military power of the Northern Army should have fallen into Yun Zheng’s hands, and even Wei Wenzhong was forced to hide in Tianhu Lake!
Wei Wenzhong could hide in Tianhu for a month, but could he hide for a year?
The food and grass in Tianhu will be exhausted sooner or later!
Once the food and grass in Tianhu Lake are exhausted, their doom will be here.
"General, what should we do next?"
At this time, Wang Qi asked Wei Wenzhong again.
"Let's see first!"
Wei Wenzhong said in a deep voice: "We must find a way to inform His Majesty and let him know that Yun Zheng, this bastard, is plotting a rebellion!"
"I am worried that Beilu Pass has also been controlled by Yun Zheng." Wang Qi said with a worried look on his face: "Yun Zheng's rebellion this time is obviously well prepared! Once Beilu Pass is controlled by him, we will not be able to send anyone to report to His Majesty..."
"Beilu Pass shouldn't be that easy to control."
Wei Wenzhong shook his head and said, "Beilu Pass is the gate inside the pass. Unless Yun Zheng has already planted his own people in Beilu Pass, it will be impossible to easily seize control of Beilu Pass!"
That’s Beilu Pass!
Many generals at Beilu Pass were Emperor Wen's men.
Not to mention Yun Zheng, it was not easy for him to seize control of Beilu Pass.
I heard that Yuan Cong, who replaced Xiao Dingwu who resigned voluntarily, has some grudges with Yun Zheng.
Yuan Cong would never let Yun Zheng capture Beilu Pass easily.
"That's good!"
Wang Qi nodded gently, "As long as Beilu Pass is not lost, Yun Zheng will be wiped out sooner or later!"
"Then...what if Yun Zheng has made arrangements in advance and has already taken control of Beilu Pass?" Huo Gu said worriedly: "Even General Dugu has been bribed by Yun Zheng. Maybe Yun Zheng has really planted his people in Beilu Pass a long time ago..."
"this……"
Wei Wenzhong paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No! Don't worry!"
Although Wei Wenzhong said this, he was very worried in his heart.
But he can't mess up!
If he gets confused, Huo Gu and Wang Qi will be even more confused.
Now, he is trapped in Tianhu Lake, and he probably can’t rely on his confidants!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Dugu Ce and his men to mobilize so many troops to surround him at will.
These two are the only ones he can count on now.
At this moment, Wei Wenzhong was filled with regret.
One wrong step, all wrong!
Now, the person he hated the most was not Yun Zheng, but Wei Shuo.
If Wei Shuo had not had an affair with the prince, how could he have ended up like this?
Now, the army on the border of Gou unexpectedly broke through!
He was disgraced and condemned by the public, and could become Yun Zheng's prisoner at any time.
pity!
It's too late to regret now.
He can't turn back!
When he made that decision, there was no going back.
Even if the emperor really believes that Yun Zheng is plotting treason, as long as the tens of thousands of people on the hill testify, he will not be able to escape the fate of having his entire clan executed.
escape!
Must escape!
The only way to survive is to escape!
Otherwise, you will be dead no matter what!
Wei Wenzhong's mind was racing, thinking of ways to escape.
Of course, he also knew that once they led their troops out of the city, there would definitely be a large number of deserters.
His prestige has dropped to freezing point, and this is completely beyond his control.
But if he didn't leave the city, he would be completely trapped in Tianhu Lake!
You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.
Escaping to other places would definitely lead to death!
The only way to survive is to escape to Beihuan and take refuge with Beihuan!
But he also understood that if he did this, even some of his personal soldiers would want to capture him!
We must come up with a foolproof plan!
After thinking silently for a while, Wei Wenzhong looked up at Wang Qi and Huo Gu and said, "Do you believe me?"
"believe!"
Wang Qi nodded without hesitation: "In the past, when we were in the Death Valley, Yun Zheng wanted to steal the credit from me. At that time, Yun Zheng must have had the intention of treason! I believe that the general must have been framed by Yun Zheng!"
"I...also believe in the general!" Huo Gu also nodded.
"good!"
Wei Wenzhong gritted his teeth and said, "Since you trust me, I will lead you to accomplish great feats in suppressing the rebellion!"
As he spoke, Wei Wenzhong began to tell the two of them about his plan...
