Yun Zheng and his men marched very slowly.
There was no other way. Even with a large number of mules and horses to help transport the food, it was really hard to move fast.
Moreover, the further north you go in the Beihuan territory, the more unstable it becomes.
Fortunately, these rolling hills are not connected together.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to escort the food and fodder.
However, a slow march is not entirely a bad thing.
They can go farther away in batches to herd horses.
In this way, the consumption of fodder can be greatly reduced, and the enemy can be given the opportunity to attack them.
But the two sides are still too far apart, and the possibility of the enemy attacking is not great.
They can only be vigilant and guard against enemy attacks.
...
...
During the march, a rider on a fast horse came quickly to report.
"Your Majesty, we encountered Beihuan's spies fifteen miles ahead. We only had a brief encounter and no damage was done..."
"Keep exploring!"
"yes!"
The scout took the order and left.
It is normal for spies from both sides to meet each other but not fight.
Watching the scout leave, Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "It seems that Jia Yao has begun to actively prepare for war!"
Miaoyin was speechless. "They are not actively preparing for war. Are they waiting for you to kill all their people?"
"They can choose to surrender!"
Yun Zheng said with a smile.
surrender?
Miaoyin scolded, "Did you give them a chance to make peace? You have detained all their envoys."
"What do they call that a peace request?"
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly. "That's called a delaying tactic! When they recover, they will jump up and show their teeth to us again!"
If you want to seek peace, you must have an attitude of seeking peace!
She holds a knife in her hand and shouts for peace. She always wants to buy a chance to breathe through peace. No one would be willing to negotiate with her!
"So what is the real peace?"
Miaoyin asked with interest.
Yun Zheng said calmly: "First, send that little brat of Beihuan to Dagan as a hostage to show our sincerity in the peace talks! We can talk about the rest later!"
“…”
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Miaoyin was speechless.
He had a nice thought!
Jiayao, the princess regent, will definitely not agree to it!
have to!
It seems that this battle will have to be fought until Beihuan surrenders!
After chatting with Miaoyin for a while, Yun Zheng ordered someone to call Yu Shizhong to ask, "How far are we from the Modong Corridor?"
Yu Shizhong replied: "It should be about 400 miles away."
Four hundred miles?
It’s damn far.
It's been so many days.
It’s still so far?
Yun Zheng complained silently in his heart, and then instructed Yu Shizhong: "About 300 miles ahead, you will lead the army to survey the terrain and find a suitable place to store food and grass. It doesn't have to be in the direction of our march, it can be anywhere."
Jiayao, ah, Jiayao!
You keep sending people to steal our food supplies, making it impossible for me to continue my performance.
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong accepted the order and said, "Your Highness, I have a question."
"Speak!"
Yun Zheng smiled.
Having problems is a good thing.
Having questions means he is thinking.
"Why did your highness fly the general's flag?"
Yu Shizhong was puzzled and said, "Beihuan is frightened by your highness. With your highness holding the general flag, I guess Beihuan will not dare to attack us easily. In this case, our plan will probably fail!"
After Yu Shizhong asked this question, everyone around Yun Zheng also became curious.
What Yu Shizhong said is a problem.
Bei Huan must have been frightened by Yun Zheng now.
If he directly raised the commander's flag, Jia Yao might not be afraid, but he would definitely be more cautious.
Yun Zheng smiled at Yu Shizhong and asked, "Do you think the general's flag should be on Lu Xing's side?"
"Um."
Yu Shizhong nodded and said, "Your Highness is on our side, so we don't need to worry too much. I am now worried about problems with the left wing army."
"It doesn't matter where the general's flag is raised."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "The commander's flag is here, Jia Yao might think that I did it on purpose, thinking that I am in another army..."
This thing is really hard to say.
It's not a question of what they think.
It depends on what Jia Yao thinks.
If Jia Yao was suspicious and thought that he did it on purpose, he might really attack their army's grain storage camp.
This is a question of who predicted whose prediction, and it is hard to explain.
Is that so?
Yu Shizhong thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the truth.
After a moment, Yu Shizhong asked again with expectation: "Your Highness, is there any way to force the enemy to attack the camp and burn the food and grass?"
"You're dreaming!" Yun Zheng glared at Yu Shizhong with a smile, "You've forced the enemy to attack the camp. Don't they know that we will focus on defending the camp where food and grass are stored?"
Yu Shizhong smiled awkwardly, "Aren't you afraid that the enemy won't attack the camp?"
“Look!”
Yun Zheng smiled: "The initiative in this matter is not in our hands. We can only be prepared and cannot expect the enemy to act exactly as we expect!"
"Jia Yao is also a person who likes to take unconventional paths. You can think about it when you have time. If you were Jia Yao, besides attacking the camp and burning the food and grass, is there any better way?"
"And you, too!"
Having said that, Yun Zheng looked at Gao He, Wang Qi and others again.
Several people nodded and thought silently.
Not only were they thinking, Yun Zheng was also thinking.
The relationship between them and Bei Huan is now clear.
They knew that Beihuan would heavily defend the Modong Corridor.
Bei Huan also knew that they were going to attack in this direction.
Now, they have dug a trap for Beihuan.
But Beihuan may not necessarily jump in.
If Bei Huan didn’t jump in, they would definitely raid the Modong Corridor.
Otherwise, they would just be gathering a large group of people and consuming a lot of food and supplies for a training march.
I hope the Ghost Eighteen Riders won't let me down!
If the Eighteen Ghost Riders can succeed, the battle will be much easier.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Zheng looked at Yu Shizhong again, "You reminded me that we have to let Lu Xing and Qin Qihu be more cautious! Don't let Jia Yao trick them!"
Yun Zheng immediately ordered Yu Shizhong: "Send more people on fast horses to go around the left wing army from the side and rear, tell them about our situation, and ask about the situation on the Guifang side!"
"Tell Qin Qihu and the others to be careful of the enemy luring them too deep into the enemy's territory!"
"If there are special circumstances, you can choose the right time to retreat! After retreating, be sure to send someone with a fast horse to notify us!"
He was somewhat worried because he didn't stay there and there were fewer people in their group.
Being so far away, he wasn't clear about the situation over there, and it was impossible for him to command the troops remotely.
The main reason is that I’m afraid of Qin Qihu’s violent temper.
If Qin Qihu gets stubborn, Tong Gang and Lu Xing may not be able to stop him.
The Guifang’s current attitude is unclear, which is also an uncertain factor.
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong immediately took the order and left...
