Outside the Beilu Pass, Yun Zheng led everyone to send Qin Liugan out of the pass.
"Okay, stop sending them off!"
Qin Liugan waved his hands at the crowd, "Go and do your own things! Xiao Liuzi, I'm leaving Shuobei to you. If you lose Shuobei, I'll kill you at the cost of my own life!"
“…”
Yun Zheng looked at Qin Liugan with a look of confusion, and then said solemnly: "Don't worry, Duke Rong. If Shuobei is lost, I must be dead. You don't need to make another trip!"
"Okay! I believe you!"
Qin Liugan laughed and said, "Okay, let's go!"
After saying that, Qin Liugan squeezed the horse's belly and rushed out quickly.
Watching Qin Liugan going away, Yun Zheng did not feel any sadness of parting, but secretly made up his mind that he would defeat Beihuan so that they would never dare to invade Dagan again!
On the way back to the mansion, Yun Zheng suddenly asked Madam Shen again: "Mother-in-law, I see that you and your sister-in-law are both good at martial arts. Do you want to try to lead troops in Shuobei?"
...
...
"We...lead the troops?"
Madam Shen and Wei Shuang looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"yes!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "As long as you are willing, it's fine. If you are not willing, then forget it."
He is now the governor of Shuobei!
He can make his own decision on the appointment of all generals and officials in Shuobei.
Moreover, even if he did not have the title of Jiedushi, he could still do so.
Madam Shen thought about it and immediately shook her head: "I am already this old, so I can forget about leading the troops! However, if Shuang'er is willing, she can lead the troops, and I will take care of Nianci."
As she spoke, Madam Shen looked at Wei Shuang again.
Although Wei Shuang's martial arts are not as good as Shen Luoyan's, they are still pretty good.
Moreover, Wei Shuang was from a military family and had been exposed to the art of war and battle formations since childhood, so she was quite familiar with them.
If Wei Shuang is willing to lead the troops, she, as her mother-in-law, will support her.
Wei Shuang thought silently for a moment, and replied: "I would like to try to lead the troops, but I don't want to leave Nianci..."
Her daughter is her greatest support now.
How could she bear to leave her daughter!
“This is easy.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I'll give you two places to choose from, one is Beilu Pass and the other is Dingbei! Of course, if you want to go to other places, that's fine, but Beilu Pass and Dingbei are more important."
Next, Dingbei will become an important place for the Northern Army to store grain.
Originally, Wei Wenzhong had this idea before.
But due to a series of events later, this matter was temporarily shelved.
Wei Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Then I will discuss this with my mother-in-law and then give Your Highness the answer. Is that ok with Your Highness?"
"no problem!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "We still have to stay in Beilu Pass for a while anyway."
He was worried that Yun Li would send people to tamper with the food, so he would definitely stay until he officially received the food sent by the court before leaving.
Food is the top priority now!
Without settling the food issue, he couldn't go to the front line with peace of mind to recapture the three border cities.
…
Three days later, Zhao Ji led an army of 50,000 and escorted 3 million dan of grain to the outside of the Beilu Pass.
From afar, the carts loaded with grain seemed endless.
Outside the Beilu Pass, Yun Zheng and Zhao Ji met.
"Sixth Prince, long time no see!"
Zhao Ji looked at Yun Zheng with a complicated expression.
"General Zhao, long time no see."
Yun Zheng laughed, "If General Zhao trusts me, we can go inside the pass and talk. I have ordered people to prepare wine and food to welcome General Zhao."
"No."
Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, "I believe that the Sixth Prince will not detain me, and there is no need to detain me, but the Sixth Prince and I are no longer the same kind of people, so I will skip the welcoming ceremony!"
"All right!"
Yun Zheng didn't force it.
It can be seen that Zhao Ji was still very dissatisfied with his private seizure of the military power of the Northern Palace Army.
But it doesn't matter.
Since he did this, he didn't expect people all over the world to think he was a loyal minister.
Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, then asked, "Those ingenious plans during the martial arts performance in Nanyuan in the past should have all come from the Sixth Prince, right?"
"yes!"
Yun Zheng nodded in acknowledgment.
It's already this time, there's nothing that can't be admitted.
"The Sixth Prince is indeed amazing!"
Zhao Ji admired him and said, "Your Highness has been keeping a low profile for many years and deceived everyone. I admire your patience very much!"
I'm just hiding my strength!
That guy was really no good before!
“It’s all done out of necessity.”
Yun Zheng smiled helplessly, "If General Zhao thinks I'm a traitor, I have nothing to say."
"I hope that's not the case, Sixth Prince!"
Zhao Ji smiled faintly and stopped talking, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince can send someone to receive the food."
“No rush!”
Yun Zheng laughed and asked tentatively, "General Zhao, you won't let anyone tamper with the food, right?"
This is what Yun Zheng is most worried about at the moment.
After all, the grain was brought by Zhao Ji from the granary in Fuzhou.
With so much food, Zhao Ji didn't need to have everyone poison it all, as he didn't have that much poison to use.
But he only needed to poison a small amount of food, and that would be enough to kill them.
After all, with so much food, it is impossible for them to check each one.
To be on the safe side, he had to be a little bit mean.
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince is really cautious!"
Zhao Ji smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Sixth Prince. As long as His Majesty has not declared the Northern Army a rebel army, the Northern Army belongs to Da Gan! Although I am dissatisfied with Sixth Prince, I will not murder the soldiers of Da Gan!"
"Okay, thank you, General Zhao!"
Yun Zheng bowed slightly, and then his face suddenly turned cold: "That being said, I have to be frank with you! If the food is tampered with, don't blame me for being rude!"
"casual!"
Zhao Ji said calmly.
Yun Zheng glanced at Zhao Ji and immediately ordered people to start receiving the food, while he stepped aside.
With the imperial edict there, he was not worried that Zhao Ji would attack Beilu Pass while they were receiving food.
However, Zhao Ji's attitude made him a little confused!
Could it be that Zhao Ji is the third brother’s man?
When Yun Zheng told Shen Luoyan and the others about his suspicions, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but shake her head and smiled, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
"I really don't understand." Yun Zheng looked confused.
"I didn't expect you to be confused."
Madam Shen smiled softly, and then explained: "Your Majesty originally planned to fight Dingbei Huan in the early spring. If I am not mistaken, Your Majesty should let Zhao Ji take charge! But what you have done now, Zhao Ji will definitely not have the opportunity to take charge. It is normal for him to be a little unhappy..."
Under the favorable situation where Yun Zheng has dealt a heavy blow to Beihuan one after another, it is very likely that he will attack Beihuan again in the spring and defeat Beihuan in one battle.
If this succeeds, it can almost be said to be the achievement of destroying a country!
Such a great contribution was ruined by Yun Zheng. It is normal for Zhao Ji to be dissatisfied with Yun Zheng.
Moreover, Zhao Ji was the only Confucian general among those veteran generals of Dagan.
As for literati, what they value is the so-called literati character.
It is only natural that Zhao Ji is disgusted by Yun Zheng's behavior.
Is that so?
Yun Zheng laughed in silence and shook his head secretly.
It seems that it is more practical to deal with military commanders...
