After successfully winning over the hearts of the Dingbei defenders, Yun Zheng led his men to Beilu Pass without stopping.
As for Mayi, leave it to Fu Tianyan!
Although Yuan Lie was Wei Wenzhong's confidant and led 9,000 elite soldiers to garrison Mayi, there were still tens of thousands of old and weak farmers in Mayi!
Those old and weak field soldiers are all Yun Zheng's men.
If he still can't take Mayi, Fu Tianyan will be useless.
Speaking of Yuan Lie, Yun Zheng curiously asked Dugu Ce: "By the way, is Yuan Lie really related to Wei Wenzhong?"
"No."
Dugu Ce shook his head and said, "However, Yuan Lie can be considered as half of Wei Wenzhong's adopted son!"
Yuan Lie's father was once the commander of Wei Wenzhong's personal troops, but he died in the Battle of Shuobei six years ago.
Later, Wei Wenzhong asked someone to bring Yuan Lie to Shuobei and train him.
...
...
Although Wei Wenzhong did not formally acknowledge Yuan Lie as his adopted son, he treated Yuan Lie like his own son.
It was also with Wei Wenzhong's support that Yuan Lie was able to be promoted quickly.
However, Yuan Lie was also a proud person. He did not want people to say that he was promoted quickly because of his relationship with Wei Wenzhong, so Yuan Lie seldom mentioned his relationship with Wei Wenzhong to others.
Wei Wenzhong didn't want people to think he was nepotism, so he rarely mentioned their relationship to outsiders.
It was precisely because of the lack of understanding that rumors spread in the army that Yuan Lie and Wei Wenzhong were somewhat related.
Speaking of kinship, Yuan Lie is truly related to Yuan Cong, the current commander of Beilu Pass.
Yuan Lie and Yuan Cong were both from the Yuan family in Longnan.
The Yuan family of Longnan was also a well-known and powerful family.
However, Yuan Lie's family did not have a high status in the Longnan Yuan family and could not be compared with Yuan Cong's family.
"Yuan Cong..."
Speaking of Yuan Cong, Yun Zheng couldn't help but think of Yuan Cong's stupid son Yuan Gui.
I don’t know whether Yuan Gui came to Beilu Pass with us.
If Yuan Gui came too, it would be really lively.
"Why is your Majesty laughing?"
Dugu Ce asked in confusion.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of an old friend."
Yun Zheng laughed and told Dugu Ce about his past with Yuan Gui.
Listening to Yun Zheng's story, Dugu Ce couldn't help but laugh.
No wonder Yun Zheng laughed!
It turns out that he had such a past with Yuan Cong’s son!
After laughing, Dugu Ce asked again: "Then His Majesty sent Yuan Cong to Beilu Pass. Is it because he wants to be on guard against the prince?"
“I think there should be some.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "However, it doesn't matter now! Anyway, as long as Xiao Dingwu is not guarding Beilu Pass, it's fine!"
If Xiao Dingwu is still the commander of Beilu Pass, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.
If they seized control of Beilu Pass, Xiao Dingwu would definitely be in trouble.
He has always had a good relationship with Xiao Wanchou and his son, and he doesn't want to implicate the Xiao family because of this matter.
But now that it has been replaced by Yuan Cong, it doesn’t matter.
Even if his father wanted to hold a nine-clan elimination game for the Yuan family, he wouldn't care.
Anyway, Yuan Cong is Yun Li's party, and they have been incompatible for a long time!
As the two were walking and talking, a group of people suddenly jumped out of the woods not far away.
Judging from their attire, they look like bandits.
Seeing that this group of people had ill intentions, the cavalrymen beside Yun Zheng immediately protected the two men in the middle, and everyone bent their bows and drew their arrows, ready to attack.
The leading bandit walked forward carelessly, "This mountain is mine, this road is... um..."
Before he could finish his words, the leading bandit was suddenly stunned.
When he came to his senses, the man quickly dropped his weapon and stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this man's actions, the group of bandits behind him quickly followed suit and saluted.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Everyone saluted in unison, leaving Dugu Ce and the accompanying cavalry a little confused.
Are these also Yun Zheng’s people?
"Okay, no need to be so polite!"
Yun Zheng rode out on his horse and looked at everyone with a smile on his face, "Where is Du Guiyuan?"
The leader quickly replied: "Reporting to the prince, Commander Du ordered us to cut off the connection between Beilu Pass and Dingbei. He personally led 800 people to infiltrate Beilu Pass..."
"very good!"
Yun Zheng nodded in satisfaction and asked again: "When did you come here?"
"Five days ago!"
"Did any messengers from Dingbei and Mayi pass through during this period?"
"Yes, but we have detained them all!"
Have they all been seized?
Yun Zheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Just buckle it down!
As long as the communication channels between Beilu Pass and other cities were cut off, the people of Beilu Pass would not know that Wei Wenzhong was besieged in Tianhu, and would not be on guard against them.
Now that Du Guiyuan has led his men into Beilu Pass, the next thing will be easy.
Yun Zheng felt relieved and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, then you guys continue to act according to the plan! After the operation is over, I will send someone to notify you!"
"yes!"
Everyone obeyed the order, picked up the weapons dropped on the ground, and quickly retreated back to the woods.
It was not until everyone disappeared that Dugu Ce and others came to their senses.
"My Lord, is this also someone you arranged in advance?"
Dugu Ce looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment, somewhat unable to believe it.
There is a person named Yun Zheng in Tianhu.
The tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers in Mayi are also Yun Zheng's men.
Now, even near the important road leading to Beilu Pass, Yun Zheng’s men are lying in ambush?
Yun Zheng made so many arrangements in advance!
"These are all members of the Blood Robe Army trained by Du Guiyuan."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Before we broke out from the ridge, I wrote a letter and gave it to Luo Yan. As long as you successfully break out from the ridge, I will send the letter out as soon as possible..."
Now that we have decided to take action against Wei Wenzhong, we must make some arrangements in advance!
Beilu Pass is not like other cities in Shuobei.
Beilu Pass is backed by the interior of the country and can obtain supplies from the interior. If the defenders of Beilu Pass are on guard, it will be difficult for them to capture Beilu Pass even if they lead an army of 100,000.
That's why he asked Du Guiyuan to lead the Blood-Clothed Army to come here as quickly as possible to cut off the connection between Beilu Pass and other places and prevent the news from other cities from reaching Beilu Pass.
If you want to take Beilu Pass, you must take the enemy by surprise.
Moreover, in order to avoid internal friction, they must also take over Beilu Pass.
Otherwise, once Beilu Pass opened its gates and allowed the imperial army to enter, Yun Zheng would have no choice but to go to war with the imperial court in order to protect himself.
That was a situation none of them wanted to see.
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Dugu Ce couldn't help but admire him: "Your Majesty is very far-sighted, I admire you!"
At this moment, Dugu Ce finally felt relieved.
What he was most worried about before was Beilu Pass.
Now, with Yun Zheng’s arrangement, it should not be difficult to take over Beilu Pass.
"Let's go!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Let's first settle the matter at Beilu Pass, and then we can slowly settle accounts with Wei Wenzhong!"
"Um!"
Dugu Ce nodded heavily, "I hope the prince's people can catch the traitor Wei Wenzhong as soon as possible!"
So many innocent people have died, we must not let the traitor Wei Wenzhong escape!
