After handing over the task of defending the Sulu River Plain to Tong Gang and Fu Tianyan, Yun Zheng led 700 personal guards to escort 200 captives from Qiuchi and Dayue to Qu Zhi and his men.
Several falconers from Beihuan also followed him.
At present, the enemy forces on the Sole River Plain can no longer make any waves.
Even if he transferred some people to support Dugu Ce, the remaining people should be able to hold the line.
Next, no matter whether it is Tianqiong Pass or Yu Shizhong and his team, as long as one side wins, there will be basically no suspense in this war.
However, even now, it is difficult to capture Tianqiong Pass.
For a pass with such a dangerous terrain, it would be basically impossible for them to storm it even if they randomly threw 5,000 people to defend it.
The best way is to break through the defense line set up by the enemy on the Sulu River, launch a quick surprise attack, go around the back of Tianqiong Pass, and cut off the food supply to force the defenders of Tianqiong Pass to come out to fight or surrender.
But they had just experienced a brutal battle, and each unit needed to rest and recuperate. They also needed time to digest the prisoners they had just captured, so they could not launch an attack in a short period of time.
A day later, Yun Zheng joined Qu Zhi's troops.
...
...
"Greetings to His Highness, and to Madam Miaoyin!"
Upon learning that Yun Zheng had led his troops to arrive, Qu Zhi hurriedly brought people to greet them.
"No need to be polite on the battlefield."
Yun Zheng motioned Qu Zhi to excuse himself, and then asked, "Have you verified the situation in Beihuan?"
"Verified! The news is true!"
Qu Zhi quickly replied, "I was just about to send someone to report to Your Highness, but I didn't expect Your Highness to arrive first."
"That's good!"
Yun Zheng felt relieved and asked again, "Has Yu Shizhong not asked for your support yet?"
"I sent someone to ask, and General Yu said that the Guifang are now a little timid and dare not attack on a large scale!" Qu Zhi shook his head and smiled, "General Yu's idea is to not let the enemy know of our existence first. If the enemy attacks on a large scale, they will feign defeat and stretch the enemy's front line. Then our troops will meet up with them and kill them by surprise."
Is that so?
Yun Zheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Yu Shizhong's considerations were quite thorough.
Even when faced with a massive enemy army, he did not immediately deploy the 10,000 elite cavalry led by Qu Zhi.
good!
Very strong ability to withstand pressure!
It seems that I was right about Yu Shizhong. He can indeed stand on his own.
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng asked Qu Zhi again, "Are you guys too idle these days?"
“It’s a bit free indeed.”
Qu Zhi laughed dryly and asked tentatively, "Has the enemy army on the Suole River been defeated by your Highness?"
As he spoke, Qu Zhi's gaze fell on the two hundred prisoners again.
The prisoners have been brought here, and it was brought here by His Highness himself. This should mean that the enemy has been defeated, right?
"Almost, but the enemy hasn't completely retreated yet. We've suffered heavy casualties, so we're still resting!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Send the order immediately. All of your troops should break camp and follow me to meet up with Yu Shizhong and the others!"
strike camp?
Qu Zhi was delighted and immediately responded loudly.
In this battle, their 10,000 elite cavalrymen were turned into reserve troops.
His generals kept looking for him and asking him to go to Yun Zheng to challenge for battle. He was almost annoyed to death.
He also wants to fight!
But he knew Yun Zheng's temper very well. Since Yun Zheng placed them here as reserve troops, he must have a purpose!
If he rashly asks for a fight, he will only get himself into trouble!
Now, Yun Zheng asked them to break camp and rush to Yu Shizhong and his men. There must be a war going on!
Very good!
After watching the excitement for so long, they finally have a chance to show their talents!
I don’t have to be bothered by those people anymore!
A day later, Yun Zheng led the vanguard of Qu Zhi's troops to meet up with Yu Shizhong and his men.
Yu Shizhong is currently stationed between the Beiwulian Mountains and Beimoduo, but closer to Beimoduo's territory.
This area nominally still belongs to Beihuan's territory, but the people of Beihuan have withdrawn long ago, and the Beifu Army has not yet sent anyone to garrison this land.
This place is basically an uninhabited area now, and only people from Beimotu sometimes come here to gather or hunt.
The view here is relatively open.
Yu Shizhong and Wang Qi led their troops to set up camp upstream of a small river.
After a brief greeting, Yu Shizhong asked expectantly, "Your Highness, have you finished fighting over there?"
"Not so fast, but basically there is no big problem." Yun Zheng smiled and pointed at the prisoners being escorted, "Look, we just repelled the enemy over there, and I brought you a gift!"
Gift?
Yu Shizhong was slightly stunned, then he reacted and said happily: "Thank you, Your Highness! The Guifang are now afraid to attack and afraid to retreat, which makes it difficult for us to find a good opportunity to attack. Your Highness's gift is really timely!"
Listening to Yu Shizhong's words, Qu Zhi couldn't help but admire him secretly.
This is Yu Shizhong!
When Yun Zheng told him that these prisoners were gifts for Yu Shizhong, he didn't react for a long time.
However, Yu Shizhong understood Yun Zheng's intention almost instantly.
It is no wonder that His Highness appointed Yu Shizhong as the commander-in-chief of this army and he can mobilize his 10,000 elite cavalry at any time.
It seems that there is still a big gap between me and Yu Shizhong!
"Okay, I'll leave these people to you!"
Yun Zheng patted Yu Shizhong on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and make the arrangements first, and then tell us in detail about the situation here!"
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong accepted the order and said, "Your Highness and Madam Miaoyin, please take a rest. I will be back soon!"
After ordering Yun Zheng and the others to rest, Yu Shizhong immediately called a young general aside and whispered, "Immediately find a suitable place to release these two hundred prisoners and let them run to the Guifang side!"
"yes!"
The young general will take the order and will make arrangements immediately.
"etc!"
Yu Shizhong called the young general and slapped him on the forehead, "Do you fucking know how to release it? Are you running away now?"
“Ah… this…”
The young general laughed dryly and said, "General, how do you want me to release you?"
"Use your brain!"
Yu Shizhong glared at the young general, "We need to release them, but if you just release them, do you dare to guarantee that they will run to the Guifang side? They need to find a place to hide, and you are going to search for them all over the mountains and plains?"
When asked by Yu Shizhong, the young general immediately realized the problem.
After thinking silently for a while, the young general tentatively said: "I will first reward them with a few dozen whips each, and then send people to hunt them down, so that they will have no choice but to run to the ghost side?"
"Well, not that stupid."
Yu Shizhong smiled and glared at the young general, then warned him: "When you strike, be careful not to beat him so hard that he can't run away!"
"clear!"
The general grinned, and immediately ran excitedly to handle what Yu Shizhong had instructed him to do.
Looking at the young general's receding back, Yu Shizhong showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Well, that’s pretty clever!
After this battle is over, I will recommend him to the military academy!
