At dusk, Dugu Ce finally led his troops to meet up with Yun Zheng and his men.
Dugu Ce was also worried about the safety of Yun Zheng and the others, so he urgently assembled 10,000 cavalrymen, all of whom traveled lightly. They rested in Qingbian for a few hours, and before dawn, they came lightly to support Yun Zheng and the others.
After finding out the situation, Yun Zheng immediately asked, "Did you run into the people we were transporting the wounded back with?"
“I have met him.”
Dugu Ce replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are only the vanguard. There is a large army coming here from behind. I have already sent someone to notify the people behind to meet them."
"That's good!"
Yun Zheng let out a long sigh.
He was even afraid that those people would be caught by the enemy!
After all, we are operating in enemy territory. It is impossible to say that we are not worried about this issue at all.
Dugu Ce smiled and said, "Oh, my Lord, we have received news that there seems to be some unusual movement from the Right Sage Prince Bolun, but we are not sure what is going on there for the time being."
...
...
Are there any unusual movements among Bo Luan's troops?
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and smiled, "Bo Luan may have also received the news that Jia Yao forcibly incorporated Alutai's tribe. It is normal for him to make some unusual moves! Let's take a short break first and then take advantage of the situation to rob him!"
We can also take advantage of this time to send someone to investigate what happened to Bo Luan.
Let’s find out the situation first!
Bo Luan is such a fool, he is wasting his expression.
Judging from Jia Yao's methods, if this birdman doesn't cooperate with him, he will most likely follow in the footsteps of King Zuo Xian.
"good!"
Dugu Ce nodded slightly.
At night, everyone found a place to spend the night.
Although it's still a bit cold in this weather, it's no problem to bear it.
The beans they seized could also be used to replenish the energy of the war horses.
It's no problem to hold on for a day.
We should be able to reach Qingbian the day after tomorrow.
As long as we can reach Qingbian in time, it will be a complete victory.
…
Two days later in the afternoon, Yun Zheng and his team arrived in Qingbian.
When they arrived, Du Guiyuan had just returned with his troops.
Du Guiyuan had always been looking for an opportunity to burn the enemy's food supplies.
But those people from Beihuan guarded the food and supplies too tightly.
Even at night, the enemy sent people to patrol all night long.
During the day, the enemy continued to send spies in all directions, fearing that someone would burn their food supplies.
In the past few days, Du Guiyuan tried several times but couldn't find an opportunity to take action.
This result made Du Guiyuan very depressed.
Yun Zheng has high hopes for the Blood-Cloth Army.
As a result, the Blood-Cloth Army achieved no success this time.
Such a result made Du Guiyuan feel extremely uncomfortable.
Upon learning Du Guiyuan's idea, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "It's not easy to make a contribution, right? There have been some unusual movements in Bolun's troops, Jia Yao has subdued Alutai's tribe, and the next step is definitely to deal with Bolun! We will add fuel to the fire when the time comes. When Jia Yao and Bolun are fighting fiercely, you lead the Blood Clothes Army to raid Alutai's tribes..."
"I guess I don't stand a chance."
Du Guiyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Um?"
Yun Zheng frowned, "What do you mean? Could it be that Jia Yao is still preparing defenses over there?"
"No!"
Du Guiyuan shook his head and said, "Their grain escort teams and various tribes are constantly shrinking and retreating! Alutai's original territory seems to be turning into an empty space..."
"Retreat?"
Yun Zheng’s eyelids twitched.
Jiayao had just conquered Aluta's tribe, and now he's starting to retreat?
Such a large territory, are you going to give it up just like that?
This woman...
Don’t play by the rules!
However, if you think about it carefully, Jiayao's decision is indeed wise.
Beihuan now has no natural defenses to defend, and problems have arisen internally.
In this situation, if the Beihuan did not retreat, they could find an opportunity to attack at any time, slaughtering one tribe today and another tribe tomorrow.
If this continues, Beihuan will become increasingly weaker.
Now, although they have given up the land, at least the people and livestock are still there.
This is a very realistic problem.
If people survive but land is lost, both people and land will survive.
If you keep the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost.
This woman sees things clearly!
If someone else were to take her place, they might not have as much courage as she does.
Jia Yao has begun a large-scale retreat, so King Zuo Xian should not be able to cause any major trouble for the time being.
have to!
I can only concentrate on getting Boss!
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, and immediately ordered the army to rest and start marching towards Weibian early tomorrow morning!
The wounded soldiers returned to the rear with sweet potatoes and seriously injured soldiers.
After giving the order, Yun Zheng instructed Du Guiyuan, "Tomorrow, you will lead the Blood Clothes Army to explore the area near where the peat was found to see if all the surrounding tribes have migrated away! After finding out the situation, meet up with us at Weibian!"
The retreat of Jia Yao and his men gave him the opportunity to explore the place.
As long as there is enough peat, many problems can be solved.
Not to mention other things, even firing bricks and tiles will be much easier.
Relying solely on charcoal and firewood to make bricks and tiles would not be enough even if all the trees on both sides of the Baishui River were cut down.
"yes!"
Du Guiyuan accepted the order.
After making the arrangements, Yun Zheng started writing letters to Ye Zi again.
Those sweet potatoes must be transported to the rear for planting.
Yun Zheng wrote down the general method of growing sweet potatoes to Ye Zi, and asked Ye Zi to find fertile land around Dingbei and arrange people to plant the sweet potatoes.
After handing the letter to the people who were escorting Sweet Potato back to Dingbei, Yun Zheng sent people to the vicinity of the horse-grazing grassland to inquire about the situation.
First find out what Bolan’s troops are doing before taking the next step.
The more Jia Yao doesn't want Beihuan to be in strife, the more they want to cause strife in Beihuan!
After explaining everything, Yun Zheng took everyone for a walk in Qingbian.
Although they had been stationed in Qingbian before, the military situation was urgent at that time and they did not have a good time in Qingbian.
Now, we can finally take a good look at this dilapidated military fortress.
Qingbian is finally back in their hands!
Moreover, the price paid was much smaller than they imagined.
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to send people to guard the Qing border?"
Dugu Ce sighed and asked Yun Zheng again.
"There's not much point in sending people to guard it now."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Sending a large army to guard now will only stretch our supply lines! The enemy has begun to retreat. Even if we don't send people to guard it, won't Qingbian still be ours? Let's wait for now. When the chaos in Beihuan gets worse, we will send people to garrison Qingbian and repair the city walls..."
Now is the important time for spring ploughing, and the farmers are too busy to handle it.
First, we need to build up the strategic location of Gobian. After the autumn harvest, we can bring in a large number of soldiers to repair the city walls of Qingbian.
"Well, I understand!"
Dugu Ce nodded gently, and said with emotion: "The three border cities have been lost for six years. For those of us who experienced that battle, we always feel at ease only when we send troops to guard them..."
"understand."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "I can find an artist to draw the current appearance of Sanbian City and send it back to my father as soon as possible, so that he and the ministers in the court can be happy..."
