Yun Zheng looked carefully and found that the man was the guard who escorted Ashina to Tianqiong Pass.
"Why are you alone?"
Yun Zheng stared at the guard with a cold gaze, "Where are Ashina and the others?"
“Your Majesty…”
The guard wailed and knelt down with a bang, "Please, my lord, avenge us..."
revenge?
Yun Zheng's heart suddenly jumped, and he asked with a cold face: "Did Tiexiong kill Ashina and the others?"
The guard nodded and wailed, "Tie Xiong killed them all and hung their heads on the wall of Tianqiong Pass, leaving only me here to bring a message to His Majesty..."
"What?"
Yun Zheng asked with a dark face.
...
...
The guard looked at Yun Zheng cautiously and said hesitantly, "Tie Xiong said that he would never surrender to the prince. If the prince has... the guts, go to Tianqiong Pass to take his head..."
"Bullshit!"
Qin Qihu was furious. "When we conquer Qiuchi, we must chop off Tiexiong's dog head and use it as a chamber pot!"
Qin Qihu was furious.
Ashina is Yun Zheng's special envoy.
As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, they do not kill envoys.
Tiexiong, this villain, actually dared to kill Ashina and his guards directly, and even sent someone to deliver a message to Yun Zheng.
This is clearly a provocation to Yun Zheng and Da Gan!
This is intolerable and what is not?
Yun Zheng suppressed his anger and asked with a cold face: "Let me ask you, is there a urn city inside Tianqiong Pass?"
The guard nodded.
There really is a barbican!
Now, even blowing up the city gate is no longer feasible.
Yun Zheng clenched his fists tightly and winked at the guards, "Take him down to rest first!"
"Please, my Lord, avenge us..."
The guard begged again and kowtowed to Yun Zheng.
"Don't worry, I will avenge them!"
Yun Zheng agreed and waved to the guards.
The guards then helped the guard up and took him downstairs to rest.
"We must not let this old bastard Tiexiong go!"
Qin Qihu was still furious, his eyes full of ferocity.
"Tetsuo saw through my plan."
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "He chopped off the heads of Ashina and his men to show his loyalty to King Qiuchi."
To be honest, he thought Tiexiong would kill the messenger he sent.
That's why he sent Ashina as a special envoy to Tianqiong Pass.
But he also believed that Qiuchi was currently acting with the Dayue Kingdom, and Tiexiong wanted to cooperate with them to play the show to the fullest, so they would not kill the people he sent.
After all, Qiuchi and Dayue Kingdom were "at war", so even if they were acting, they had to act as if they didn't want to offend Dagan and let Ashina and others leave.
What he thought was that as long as Ashina and others left Tianqiong Pass alive, there were some things that Tiexiong would not be able to explain clearly.
But Tiexiong still gave him a "surprise" and chose to directly kill Ashina and others to show his loyalty to King Qiuchi.
You old bastard, you have no moral principles!
It seems that Tiexiong is not easy to deal with!
Qin Qihu frowned and asked murderously, "Is Tiexiong's move intended to provoke us and make us march from the Sulu River?"
“Tie Xiong should have this idea.” Yun Zheng nodded slightly and said worriedly: “With Tie Xiong’s trick, the people we send to bury the statues in Qiuchi may not achieve the expected results!”
Tiexiong even killed the special envoy he sent to show his loyalty. King Qiuchi should give Tiexiong more trust, right?
This is the situation he least wants to see.
"So what do we do now?"
Qin Qihu clenched his fists tightly. "Now we can only attack from the Sole River, right?"
Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment and replied: "I'll think about it again!"
Think about it?
Qin Qihu looked at Yun Zheng in surprise.
Now that it’s like this, what else is there to think about?
Now, there should be no chance to launch a surprise attack on Tianqiong Pass with a surprise force.
Pointing to the suspicion of King Qiuchi, Tiexiong was forced to surrender to Yun Zheng, and it seemed there was no hope.
As a result, it became almost impossible to capture Tianqiong Pass.
Yun Zheng is still planning to attack Tianqiong Pass?
Yun Zheng didn't say anything, just thought silently.
Qin Qihu was secretly worried and couldn't help but wink at Miaoyin, signaling Miaoyin to persuade Yun Zheng.
He was really afraid that Yun Zheng would fight to the death at Tianqiong Pass.
Even if Yun Zheng did not attack Tianqiong Pass by force, but only sent a large army to intimidate Tiexiong, they would be in great trouble as long as they could not capture Tianqiong Pass.
After all, so many people and horses would consume a lot of food and fodder.
Facing Qin Qihu's gaze, Miaoyin shook her head gently at him, signaling him not to disturb Yun Zheng.
Whether Yun Zheng is unwilling or unable to swallow this anger, he will have to wait until he has thought it over.
If they tried to persuade him now, it would only disrupt Yun Zheng's train of thought.
Yun Zheng thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, "Come on, go and ask those captives separately, how did they contact the people at Tianqiong Pass? Did Tiexiong send someone here, or did they send someone to report? How do they solve the problem of supply?"
After receiving Yun Zheng's order, the guards around him ran away immediately.
Soon, the guards came with the answer.
They are stationed here permanently, and unless there are special circumstances, they need to send someone back to Tianqiong Pass to report the situation every three days.
They only have so many people, so they don't need too many supplies.
About once every half a month, Tiexiong would send someone to deliver supplies to them.
The number of people delivering supplies is usually only one or two hundred.
There are still about four or five days before Tiexiong sends someone to deliver supplies to them again, but according to the schedule, they will need to send someone back to Tianqiong Pass to report the situation to Tiexiong in two days.
Is that so?
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Take off the clothes of those dead men, and let them draw their own maps of Qiuchi!"
"yes!"
The guards took the order and left again.
"Brother, what on earth are you going to do?"
Qin Qihu asked Yun Zheng in confusion.
Why does he feel more and more that Yun Zheng is really going to attack Tianqiong Pass!
"You'll find out in a minute!"
Yun Zheng showed a rare smile on his face.
It looks a bit mysterious and a bit cunning.
Seeing Yun Zheng's smile, Qin Qihu felt that Yun Zheng was determined to fight to the death at Tianqiong Pass, and he immediately became worried.
Less than half an hour later, the Royal Guards came to Yun Zheng with seven maps.
The map is very simple, it can't even be called a map, it's just a sketch.
There are also huge differences between the maps drawn by each other, and the distances and locations between major cities vary greatly.
Even so, by comparing these seven maps, we can still make some rough judgments.
At least, we have a general understanding of the location of the main cities behind Tianqiong Pass.
Yun Zheng had the seven simple maps put away, and then ordered: "Choose the most obedient person from the seven, and have him kill the other six! Then bring him to see me, I have something to tell you!"
The Royal Guards faithfully carried out Yun Zheng's orders.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a pale-faced Qiuchi soldier was brought before Yun Zheng...
