When Yun Zheng received Jia Yao's reply, he was checking the battle report sent by Dugu Ce.
Jia Yao’s reply was very simple.
Just two words.
Obey my command!
Moreover, it is not secret writing.
It's just two words, there's no need to write them in secret.
Yun Zheng put the message from Jia Yao aside and continued to check Dugu Ce's battle report.
The second prince of Qiuchi, Yuan Wei, led the defenders of Tianqiong Pass to abandon the pass and flee.
At present, Zuo Ren has led his troops into Tianqiong Pass.
However, the results of Dugu Ce and his men's pursuit of Lou Yi were not very good.
...
...
Although the Eighteen Ghost Riders successfully provoked a dispute between the troops of Qiuchi and Dayue, it did not cause widespread chaos and only caused the enemy to lose more than 3,000 people.
When Dugu Ce led his troops in pursuit, Lou Yi had already led his troops to retreat to the border of Dayue Kingdom.
After Dugu Ce led his army to charge and kill, he killed two thousand enemies and captured more than four thousand.
The large forces of Qiuchi and Dayue Kingdom were brought back to Dayue Kingdom by Lou Yi.
Dugu Ce was worried about the problem of food and fodder, so he stopped the pursuit and instead escorted the prisoners to Tianqiong Pass.
The rear of Qiuchi was empty, and wherever their army passed, the cities surrendered.
Dugu Ce had collected a lot of food, fodder, gold and silver treasures from various cities in Qiuchi, and was heading to Tianqiong Pass, intending to meet up with Zuo Ren and others at Tianqiong Pass, letting the soldiers rest while waiting for Yun Zheng's next order.
Looking at Dugu Ce's battle report, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown.
Qiuchi is in such a mess, why don’t you surrender?
He also wanted to force Qiuchi to surrender as soon as possible so that their army could quickly reach the border between Qiuchi and the Moxi tribes, threatening the rear of the Moxi tribes and thus reducing the pressure on the defenders in the northwest.
Now, he was leading his troops outside, and he didn't know whether the imperial court and the tribes in western Mo were at war.
If Qiuchi does not surrender, Yufeng City will block their food supply route.
If they march directly to the border between Qiuchi and the Moxi tribes, Qiuchi will threaten their food supply.
If you want to march towards the border between Qiuchi and the Moxi tribes, you still have to get rid of the thorn of Yufeng City!
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while and immediately began to write a letter to Dugu Ce.
Yun Zheng asked Dugu Ce to leave a small number of troops to guard Tianqiong Pass, and led the main force to besiege Yufeng City, cut off the water supply of Yufeng City, and then surround them on three sides and leave one side open, instead of attacking Yufeng City by force.
At the same time, you can send people to announce to the defenders of Yufeng City: Those who open the city and surrender will be rewarded handsomely! Whoever kills Yuan Fu will be rewarded handsomely!
Qiuchi is now at the end of its road. It is only a matter of time before Qiuchi is destroyed.
Attacking Yufeng City by force would only result in unnecessary casualties.
Let them mess around among themselves!
Anyway, even if they occupied Qiuchi, they would still have to support new agents.
If someone opened the city to surrender or killed Yuan Fu, he would not mind supporting him as an agent.
"Deliver this letter to Dugu Ce as quickly as possible!"
Yun Zheng handed the handwritten letter to the messenger, and immediately handed another command arrow to the messenger, "Order Fu Tianyan to immediately evacuate from the Sulu River and move closer to the rear of our army, and send 5,000 people to Tianqiong Pass day and night! Order Zulu to come to see the king as quickly as possible!"
"yes!"
After they took the order and left, Yun Zheng immediately ordered his personal guards, "Immediately take a few people and rush to the Yanhuishan camp as fast as possible to ask if there is any news from the imperial city! If there is, report immediately! No, if there is any news, send it to Tianqiong Pass first, and then report to this king!"
After explaining the matter, Yun Zheng went to check on Wang Qi's condition.
Wang Qi is still in a coma and has a high fever.
He now didn't know whether Wang Qi had a high fever because he was too weak or because his wound was infected.
Miaoyin has prepared some medicine and asked someone to give it to Wang Qi, but as of now, Wang Qi's fever shows no signs of going down.
When Yun Zheng walked into the tent, Miaoyin was also checking the condition of Wang Qi.
"how?"
Yun Zheng asked worriedly.
"Again, it depends on his luck!"
Miaoyin stood up helplessly, "If he can get rid of the fever, he should be able to make it."
She has done everything she could.
Now it all depends on Wang Qi’s will to survive.
"All right!"
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "Come on, go for a walk outside with me."
Miaoyin nodded slightly and asked again: "Have you been to see Tuo Ling?"
Tuo Yan has woken up.
However, I am still very weak.
"Not yet!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Let him take it easy first! If I talk to him now, he might get mad to death, it would be a sheer waste of my energy!"
Miaoyin was surprised, then smiled, "That's right! If you set conditions, even a living person would be pissed off to death, let alone a half-dead person like him."
She knew Yun Zheng too well.
The Guifang faction is now at the end of its rope.
Whenever Yun Zheng opens his mouth, it will definitely be as high as a lion's mouth.
Tuo Lin is in such a dying state right now that it's really not suitable to talk about these things.
The two came outside.
It was already dusk.
As a gust of wind blew, both of them felt a little cooler.
Yun Zheng tightened his clothes a little, "It seems that winter is coming soon!"
"It's almost time!"
Miaoyin smiled and said, "The cold winter in the north will definitely come earlier."
"yes!"
Yun Zheng smiled to himself, "Once Yu Shizhong and his men bring back some more prisoners, we should withdraw our troops."
Although they had defeated the Three Kingdoms Alliance, it was certainly impossible for them to continue fighting.
This side is further north than Shuobei.
The winter here will be even colder.
He spent almost the entire winter last year at war, and he doesn't want to fight again this year.
With such a long distance, supplies are a huge problem.
The sooner the matter is settled, the sooner their large force can withdraw with the prisoners.
Winter in Shuobei is the time when a large number of captives are needed!
"Are we going to withdraw our troops now?"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng in surprise, "Are you not going to attack Dayue Kingdom anymore?"
This was somewhat beyond Miaoyin's expectations!
Lou Yi was the culprit who started this war, and he also made Yun Zheng prepare for it.
Today, Qiuchi and Guifang no longer pose any threat at all.
Yun Zheng actually didn't attack Dayue Kingdom?
Isn’t he determined to kill Lou Yi?
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly. "Lou Yi has already led the remaining troops back to Dayue. Winter is approaching, and it will be disadvantageous for us to continue fighting! Besides, we have a lot of things to do right now, so we can't take care of Dayue for the time being."
"After this battle, the alliance between Qiuchi, Dayue and Guifang has completely collapsed!"
"I plan to let them fight each other first. After we withdraw our troops, we will reorganize more vassal troops. After the spring of next year, we will use the vassal troops as the main force to launch an attack on the Great Moon Kingdom!"
They now have many prisoners.
These captives, when organized, became a large number of vassal armies.
There are also some things that can be handed over to the agents he supports.
This can both test the loyalty of agents and minimize their own losses.
He must destroy the Dayue Kingdom!
However, it depends on the time...
