Yun Zheng has a battle plan for this battle.
But Yun Zheng, like Yu Shizhong and others, could not forget Tianqiong Pass.
It's no wonder they have such wild ideas.
The main reason is that Tianqiong Pass is too important to Qiuchi.
Once they captured Tianqiong Pass, the Northern Army could launch an invasion.
They can attack Qiuchi whenever they want.
Whenever I’m in a bad mood, I can drag Qiu Chi out and give him a beating.
Anyway, the war hasn't officially started yet. After thinking it over again and again, Yun Zheng decided to go to Tianqiong Pass to see if he could find a way to break through Tianqiong Pass.
The actions they are taking now will definitely be beneficial to their capture of Tianqiong Pass.
However, unless Tiexiong surrenders, they will still have to rely on attack to capture Tianqiong Pass.
...
...
Upon learning that Yun Zheng wanted to go to Tianqiong Mountain Pass, the generals in the Yanhuishan camp all opposed it.
Tianqiong Pass is located in the southwest of the Muma Grassland.
It is also the border between the territories of Qiuchi, Beimodo and the current Dagan.
Although some soldiers from the Northern Army went to patrol that area, they never stationed troops there, and the army led by Dugu Ce was not going to go there.
Yun Zheng was only going to investigate the terrain of Tianqiong Pass, not to formally attack Tianqiong Pass, so he certainly couldn't bring too many people.
When they are outnumbered, it is naturally dangerous.
Who knew if they would be ambushed by the enemy nearby?
"Alright, stop trying to persuade me, I've made up my mind!"
Yun Zheng stopped the generals from trying to persuade them, "Although we don't have any troops stationed there, General Dugu and his army are only a hundred miles away from there. If there is any danger, they will come to support us quickly."
He must go to Tianqiong Pass to take a look.
Although the terrain of Tianqiong Pass is also shown on the sand table, it is not comprehensive.
We still need to investigate on the spot before making any decision.
"If Your Highness insists on going, please allow me to accompany you!"
Yu Shizhong was the first to stand up.
"I am willing to go along too!"
Wang Qi, Deng Bao and others stepped forward.
"Except Qin Qihu, none of you can go!"
Yun Zheng said firmly: "I still have a task for you!"
Task?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the generals couldn't help but frown slightly.
What task?
Could it be that Your Highness came up with this mission on the spur of the moment just to prevent them from accompanying you?
Yun Zheng did not try to guess the generals' thoughts, and directly gave the order: "Wang Qi, your troops are infantry, and their marching speed is slow! I order your troops to immediately carry food and supplies, leave the Yanhuishan camp, march westward for 100 miles, and set up camp on the spot to defend!"
“Deng Bao, I order you to lead your troops towards Weibian and help Zuo Ren’s troops escort the grain and fodder and deliver them to the Yanhuishan camp as soon as possible! ””
"Yu Shizhong, Lu Xing, you two will lead your troops to stay at the Yanhuishan camp and be responsible for checking the conditions of the granaries to ensure that they are intact. There must be no problems with our food and fodder! In addition, you must keep in touch with General Dugu and the other troops at all times and report their status in a timely manner..."
Yun Zheng quickly issued orders and assigned tasks to all the generals.
Yun Zheng's orders had been issued, and even if the generals wanted to follow, they had no choice but to obey.
After arranging everything, Yun Zheng immediately set off with Qin Qihu and Miaoyin.
On this trip, he only brought two hundred guards and eighteen ghost riders.
Tianqiong Pass is about four hundred miles away from the Yanhuishan camp.
In order to speed up, they basically ride two horses per person.
One horse carries the people, and the other horse carries a small amount of beans and their dry food, and they are rotated at any time.
"Brother, you are not really going to attack Tianqiong Pass, are you?"
On the way, Qin Qihu asked with some concern.
Although Qin Qihu is not resourceful, he is not stupid either.
Based on his understanding of Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng attached so much importance to Tianqiong Pass that he even ignored everyone's dissuasion and brought such a small number of people to investigate the situation at Tianqiong Pass in person. He must be planning to take over Tianqiong Pass.
No, it’s not as simple as just planning to attack Tianqiong Pass!
As long as there is the slightest chance, he will probably change his original plan and directly attack Tianqiong Pass!
"Of course I do!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "There are so many benefits to conquering Tianqiong Pass, don't you want to conquer Tianqiong Pass?"
"Yes! Of course!" Qin Qihu answered without hesitation, but frowned, "But Tianqiong Pass is not so easy to capture! If the attack fails, we will suffer heavy losses!"
Anyone who has a little knowledge of leading a force can see the benefits of capturing Tianqiong Pass.
Just like everyone knows the benefits of capturing Beilu Pass.
If there is a 100% certainty of capturing Tianqiong Pass, Qin Qihu is willing to take the lead.
But the problem is, even if Yun Zheng could think of a way to break through Tianqiong Pass, he might not be able to do so!
They have strategies, and the enemy can also counter them!
If Yun Zheng was not more than 80% sure of capturing Tianqiong Pass, he would not recommend him to attack Tianqiong Pass.
The benefits of capturing Tianqiong Pass can be seen, but the disadvantages of failing to capture Tianqiong Pass can also be seen!
If this was the only offensive route, he would definitely not say anything and would just listen to Yun Zheng in everything.
But they now have other routes of attack, so there is no need to fight to the death at Tianqiong Pass!
"Don't worry! I haven't let victory go to my head yet!"
Yun Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't want to squander all my wealth."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qihu gave a dry laugh and said no more.
Yes.
He was afraid that Yun Zheng would be carried away by victory after defeating Bei Huan and would begin to underestimate the enemy.
Since Yun Zheng understood his thoughts, he didn't need to persuade him anymore.
Anyway, as long as Yun Zheng keeps a clear mind, it will be fine.
No conversation along the way.
By the third day, they were very close to Tianqiong Pass.
At this time, Yun Zheng released the Eighteen Ghost Riders and ordered them to investigate the surrounding situation.
Later, the three people who went to the northwest to investigate returned.
"Your Highness, forty miles to the northwest, a group of people with envoy flags are approaching the Tianqiong Pass. They should be Ashina's group!"
Ashina and the others?
Yun Zheng was slightly surprised.
How could we actually run into Ashina and his group nearby?
What a coincidence!
Calculating the time, if Ashina and the others ran faster, they should be here by now.
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Confirm their identities. If they are Ashina and his group, bring them to see me immediately!"
"yes!"
The three men took the order and turned their horses around and left.
After watching the three people go away, Miaoyin couldn't help but ask Yun Zheng: "Are you planning something bad again?"
"What?"
Yun Zheng was dissatisfied, "What bad idea can I come up with?"
“No way!”
Miaoyin curled her lips and joked, "I just saw you smiling very sinisterly!"
"Is there?"
Yun Zheng was surprised.
"Really! I saw it too!"
Qin Qihu said seriously: "I can tell from your smile just now that you have bad intentions..."
“…”
Yun Zheng was speechless.
He really doesn't remember laughing!
Depend on!
I have to be more serious in the future, and I can't let others notice my thoughts...
