Soon, they arrived at Jiayao's tribe.
Now, it is completely empty.
However, you can still see a lot of debris left behind by the tribe’s emergency migration.
After looking for a while, Yun Zheng led his men to the land where they dug out the sweet potatoes.
The potatoes have been dug up, so someone must have replanted crops here.
However, perhaps they suddenly received an order to migrate and did not plant too many crops.
Now, the crops in the fields are more than one foot tall.
"Do you know what this is?"
Yun Zheng asked Yu Shizhong.
"know!"
...
...
Yu Shizhong replied: "This is called Yunmai, which is different from our wheat, but it is suitable for planting in Beihuan, but the yield is not high."
“How low?”
Yun Zheng asked.
Yu Shizhong smacked his lips. "Anyway, a yield of more than 100 catties per mu should be considered a high yield!"
"this……"
Yun Zheng was speechless, "This is indeed low enough."
"That's not all."
Yu Shizhong said with a smile: "Beihuan also has a method of planting that depends on the weather, and the yield is even more pitifully low."
"What method?"
Yun Zheng asked curiously.
Yu Shizhong smiled, "When grazing, we carry seeds with us, scatter them along the way, and then collect and harvest them when we come back. It all depends on whether God will give us food..."
“It’s a way to survive.”
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and then asked Yu Shizhong, "Is this land considered a good place in Beihuan?"
Yu Shizhong: "It should be forgotten."
Many places in Beihuan are not suitable for farming, but there are still some lands suitable for farming.
Reclaimed land like this should be considered very important land in Beihuan.
"Jiayao is really courageous! She even gave up this kind of land!"
Yun Zheng grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and sighed sincerely.
"really!"
Yu Shizhong nodded in agreement, "If Jiayao hadn't given up these lands and stretched our battle line so far, the battle would have been much easier."
Yun Zheng nodded in agreement.
That's true.
They were able to carry a small amount of supplies and make long-distance raids before because there was a Beihuan tribe here, and they could obtain supplies by raiding the Beihuan tribe.
But now, Jia Yao directly launched a full-scale retreat, not giving them any chance to fight to support themselves.
If you want to fight Beihuan, you have to escort a large amount of food and fodder.
As a result, the marching speed was greatly slowed down.
Beihuan is a vast area with few people.
To be honest, it will not be a matter of a day or a night to conquer all the land of Beihuan.
The best way is to consume some of Beihuan's power and force Beihuan to take the initiative to negotiate.
Only then would Bei Huan be likely to agree to his harsh conditions.
Just as Yun Zheng was secretly sighing, Yu Shizhong suddenly asked: "Your Highness, if Jia Yao does not send people to attack our grain escort team, and relocates all the tribes in the rear, how should we fight next?"
“…”
Yun Zheng suddenly felt like he was having a heart attack, and immediately kicked Yu Shizhong on the butt, "Shut up! Can't you expect anything good?"
If this is really the case, it will be troublesome to fight this war!
Even if they defeated the enemy head-on with minimal casualties, they would not be able to get enough supplies if they penetrated into the enemy's rear.
If we just follow the grain escort team and slowly advance forward, what's the point of fighting?
"Aren't you afraid that Beihuan will be frightened by your Highness?"
Yu Shizhong laughed dryly.
"When that time comes, be ready to kill the warhorse!"
Yun Zheng glanced at Yu Shizhong speechlessly, "Also, give orders. From today on, start preparing dry food after setting up camp! Just in case of emergency!"
Damn it!
What Yu Shizhong said is really possible!
You have to be on guard!
Otherwise, they would really be out for training this time!
If I run back in such a dejected manner, I will definitely suffer a lot!
Just as the two were chatting, a cavalryman suddenly came galloping over on his horse.
"Your Majesty, Lu Xing has an urgent report!"
The cavalryman ran to Yun Zheng, immediately dismounted, and handed him a letter.
Yun Zheng had a bad feeling in his heart and quickly opened the letter.
Seeing the contents of the letter, Yun Zheng's face suddenly fell.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Yu Shizhong asked quickly.
“Take a look!”
Yun Zheng handed the letter in his hand to Yu Shizhong, and his mind started working rapidly.
The Guifang conquered the Quanrong and sent out 50,000 troops, using the Quanrong troops to help escort food and fodder. Claiming to have an army of 100,000, they were marching towards the Moxi Corridor, intending to help the Beihuan fight against the Dagan!
The envoy sent by Lu Xing to Guifang was expelled without even meeting the leader of Guifang.
When Yu Shizhong saw the contents of the letter, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Guifang is a bunch of bastards!
Have you forgotten the time six years ago when you were beaten to the point of crying for your parents by Bei Huan?
Now instead of following Da Gan's lead in beating the downed dog, he actually sends troops to help Bei Huan?
"Your Highness, should we turn around now and join Lu Xing and his men to destroy the Guifang army first?"
Yu Shizhong was filled with murderous intent and he wished he could lead his troops to attack the Guifang right away.
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "It's too late to lead the troops forward now!"
"this……"
Yu Shizhong paused, then gave a bitter smile.
yes!
It would be too late to lead the troops over there now due to the long distance.
"No wonder Jiayao sent people to the Imperial City to seek peace. It turns out that he is doing these things."
Yun Zheng rubbed his head and felt like cursing.
Although Yun Zheng was very angry, he had to admit that Jia Yao made the right move.
The Guifang were indeed hateful, but it was a wise move for them to help the Beihuan deal with Dagan.
Between countries, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
The lips and teeth are interdependent!
It was probably this point that impressed the leader of Guifang.
Guifang certainly does not want to see Beihuan destroyed and let Dagan become the only powerful country.
I didn’t expect that!
He wanted Beihuan to be divided up, but Jiayao turned around and helped him form alliances.
"So what do we do now?"
Yu Shizhong frowned.
It was certainly not in Guifang's plan to send troops to help Beihuan.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You are responsible for leading the right wing army, and I will personally lead the left wing army!"
Yu Shizhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Your Highness, let me go to the left army! I will take a few people with me, it will definitely be much faster!"
Yun Zheng will go to the Left Route Army in person, and he will definitely bring his personal guards with him.
With so many people, the marching speed will definitely slow down.
Yun Zheng thought about it and nodded, "Okay! Then you rush over immediately!"
"As for the Gui Fang, we should still use lobbying as the main approach and try to make them not help either side!"
"If Gui Fang insists on helping Bei Huan, we should find a way to attack their food supply route and burn their food supplies! Or, we can continue to harass them, slow down their march, and then quickly raid the Moxi Corridor!"
"If all else fails, take advantage and then retreat, and only attack the ghosts!"
"You don't have to fight according to my method. Adjust your battle plan according to the situation on the battlefield!"
"In short, if you can avoid a head-on fight, try not to do it!"
Yu Shizhong nodded heavily.
After Yun Zheng finished instructing Yu Shizhong, he immediately called Gao He and said, "Order Dugu Ce to lead 10,000 infantrymen to move towards Yanhui Mountain and be ready for support! Order Feng Yu and Deng Bao to lead 10,000 cavalrymen who are still in training to support the left wing army!"
At this moment, Yun Zheng also became ruthless!
Damn it!
You don't want to live a good life, right?
Then forget it!
