"Your Highness, our army's grain escort team was attacked by the Northern Huan cavalry. General Qu has led his troops to retreat, but the Northern Huan cavalry attacked too quickly. Our army still has some supplies that it has not been able to take away..."
In the afternoon, Yun Zheng received the news sent back by Qu Zhi.
"Did any of Qu Zhi's troops suffer casualties?"
Yun Zheng asked immediately.
The interrogator immediately replied: "There were no casualties, but there were some losses of horses, more than 300 horses died..."
"Good! Great!"
Yun Zheng was overjoyed and immediately gave the order: "Order Deng Bao to immediately advance thirty miles towards Bailang Lake to support Qin Qihu's troops and the Blood Clothes Army! Order Qu Zhi's troops to move closer to Deng Bao's troops overnight!"
If the supplies have not been withdrawn, then they will not be withdrawn!
There shouldn't be many supplies left anyway!
As for the horses, it doesn't matter.
...
...
This is not the time when they first entered Shuobei.
Just over 300 war horses, let them die if they run away!
Just consider it as a way to improve everyone’s food!
As long as people run back, it's fine.
As long as we defeat Bei Huan, we will have plenty of opportunities to get war horses in the future!
His demands on Qin Qihu and the Blood-Clothed Army were not high. The enemy army had three groups of troops, so he could just burn the food and fodder of one of their groups.
How many people you can kill is secondary.
The main focus is on burning food and grass!
Without food and supplies, let’s see if Beihuan dares to continue fighting!
He wouldn't mind if Beihuan sold everything they had and forcibly recruited hundreds of thousands of troops to fight them.
At worst, they could just retreat to the edge of the hill and defend themselves.
Let’s see how long Beihuan can last!
After Yu Shizhong sent someone to pass on Yun Zheng's order, Yun Zheng, in a good mood, couldn't help but kiss Miaoyin and Shen Luoyan hard on their pretty faces.
"Hate!"
Shen Luoyan patted Yun Zheng lightly and said shyly: "You are a person who never behaves properly except when you lead the army to fight!"
"that is!"
Miaoyin nodded in agreement, and said with a sweet smile: "But I still like your frivolous look!"
Whenever Yun Zheng is serious, there will either be a war or something bad is going to happen.
Now she really hopes that Yun Zheng will be unruly every day.
That way, at least Shuobei will be peaceful.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Something big has happened..."
Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing, Dugu Ce's hurried voice suddenly came from outside.
Something big happened?
The smiles on the three people's faces suddenly stopped.
Yun Zheng walked out quickly.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Dugu Ce running in hurriedly.
"General Dugu, what happened?"
Yun Zheng looked at Dugu Ce with some concern.
Could it be that something happened to Qin Qihu and Du Guiyuan?
"News came from Beilu Pass that Prince An colluded with the Zhao family, a powerful family in Xuzhou, to raise troops in Xuzhou and rebel. Most of Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of the rebels!"
Dugu Ce said hurriedly.
When they heard Dugu Ce's words, their eyelids suddenly jumped.
Prince An is plotting a rebellion?
"When did it happen?"
Yun Zheng asked immediately.
"It's just about these ten days. Your Majesty, please take a look at this letter first!"
Dugu Ce said this and immediately handed the letter in his hand to Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng quickly opened the letter, and Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin also came over.
This is Zuo Ren’s handwritten letter.
Zuo Ren had only received the news of Prince An's rebellion a few days ago.
It is said that Prince An started preparing for rebellion last year.
Prince An originally planned to wait until Emperor Wen had put all his efforts into dealing with Beihuan before raising his army.
However, man proposes, God disposes.
Because Yun Zheng changed the entire situation in Shuobei, Emperor Wen did not put all his efforts into dealing with Beihuan.
When Prince An's subordinates saw that something was not right, they reported Prince An to the court.
Upon learning that he had been reported, Prince An, who had originally wanted to remain dormant, had no choice but to rebel.
Because the imperial court had gathered too many troops in Fuzhou, leaving Xuzhou's defenses unattended, Prince An quickly captured most of Xuzhou.
At present, the imperial court has urgently dispatched 30,000 troops from Fuzhou to quell the rebellion.
Zuo Ren was still unclear about the subsequent results, but he had already sent people to inquire.
If there is any new news, Zuo Ren will send someone to deliver the message as soon as possible.
After reading the letter in his hand, Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Seeing you in such a hurry, I thought it was some big deal! Don't panic, Prince An shouldn't be able to cause any trouble!"
If the original plan was followed and the imperial court launched a large-scale military campaign against Beihuan after the spring, Prince An could take advantage of the situation.
But now, the imperial court has not launched a large-scale military operation against Beihuan.
After all the fuss, it is still the Northern Palace Army that is fighting against the Northern Huan.
Prince An just took advantage of the loophole temporarily.
Once the imperial court dispatches troops from Fuzhou, Prince An's rebellion should be quelled soon.
There are so many experienced veterans in the court!
It shouldn't be difficult to put down Prince An's rebellion.
"I'm not panicking, I'm happy!"
Dugu Ce shook his head repeatedly.
“…”
Shen Luoyan looked at Dugu Ce with a mixture of laughter and tears, "General Dugu, if the emperor hears what you said, he will definitely punish you!"
"I am indeed happy!"
Dugu Ce laughed and said, "If it weren't for the prince's disturbance in Shuobei, if Prince An really waited until the imperial court launched a large-scale military campaign against Beihuan before launching a rebellion, I'm afraid it would have shaken the foundation of our Da Gan!"
"Well...that's right!"
Shen Luoyan nodded and smiled, then turned to ask Yun Zheng, "Does the Zhao family support the former crown prince?"
"Forehead……"
Yun Zheng was slightly embarrassed and shook his head, "I really haven't cared about these things..."
The previous owner of this body didn't even care about the affairs of the court, let alone these.
However, I think this matter should be somewhat related to the case of the former prince's rebellion!
When Beihuan asked for food, my father swallowed his anger and did not dare to go to war with Beihuan. This was because he was worried that the prince's rebellion would involve too many people. Once a large-scale military operation was launched against Beihuan, Dagan would fall into civil strife.
Now it seems that my father’s decision at that time was relatively correct.
So, being an emperor is not that easy.
If you don't fight, you will be accused of being weak and incompetent.
Let’s fight, but I still have to worry about this and that!
"I guess His Majesty must be very happy now."
Dugu Ce said with a smile: "If we follow the original plan, Prince An's chaos will probably shake the foundation of Da Gan!"
"Are you happy?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Then wait until we drive Beihuan back a few hundred miles, and then report the news to father, so that he will be even happier!"
If the current situation continues, it is only a matter of time before Beihuan retreats completely.
Wait until Beihuan has completely retreated, and then report the good news to father!
The current situation in Shuobei is also due to my father's concession.
No matter what, I have to let him know that there is nothing wrong with his concession and that I have not let him down.
“Yes, yes!”
Dugu Ce nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "When His Majesty knows the situation in Shuobei, he will definitely be happy with his wise decision!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, but he started to think again in his mind.
What should we do next?
I don’t know if this bastard Bo Luan received my letter or not.
It's been several days, and this birdman hasn't sent a reply or anything.
Damn it!
I hope this birdman will be more careful!
