After staying at Beilu Pass for one night, Yun Zheng took the lead in leading the army to set off.
When they set out, there were dozens of carriages loaded with goods in the team.
There are furs, gold, silver, medicinal herbs, etc., as well as the throne of King Qiuchi.
However, many carriages appear to be filled with goods, but in fact, only the top layer of the boxes contains real stuff, and the bottom layer is filled with weeds.
These things were originally the dowry that Yun Zheng prepared for Jia Yao, and they had to be taken back later.
It's really packed, and it's tiring to carry it around.
"Report..."
A scout came running over, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is leading the officials to meet you and the Beihuan bridegroom delegation ten miles outside of Sifang County!"
"knew!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then instructed Shen Kuan: "Order everyone to speed up! Don't keep His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waiting for too long!"
...
...
Are you still putting on a show of welcoming me from ten miles away?
The third one is fine!
We have all learned to endure humiliation!
I just wonder what the third brother would think when he sees them.
As Shen Kuan passed on Yun Zheng's order, the speed of the large force suddenly increased.
"Can you please stop letting me ride in the carriage?"
In the carriage, Jia Yao lifted the curtain and looked at Yun Zheng who was riding a horse beside the carriage. "Can't I get in the carriage when we are almost at Sifang County?"
She grew up on horseback and could even sleep on it.
But it was really uncomfortable for her to sit in the carriage.
Especially when the speed increased, the carriage became bumpy, making her very uncomfortable.
"Sit still!"
Yun Zheng glared at Jia Yao and said, "There are civilians watching along the way! How can we let the princess ride a horse to marry? Even if we want to fool her, we can't make it too obvious!"
"Okay, whatever you say makes sense."
Jia Yao let down the curtain, too lazy to talk to Yun Zheng.
Anyway, she is just a puppet now. She has no choice but to do whatever Yun Zheng says.
Looking at the carriage beside him, Yun Zheng missed Zhang Xu again.
He started improving the carriage years ago and even made springs as thick as thumbs.
But he didn't know how to adjust the structure of the carriage so that the springs could have a shock-absorbing effect.
This thing seems very simple to make. All you have to do is put the spring on.
In reality, it is not the case.
Including his idea of a four-wheeled carriage with a steering axle.
He only knew the steering principle and the general structure, but he was not very clear about the details.
If Zhang Xu, a man of action, were here, the problem of the four-wheeled carriage and the shock-absorbing springs would probably be solved quickly.
Damn it, we have to get Zhang Xu back as soon as possible.
While it's still winter, I have time to tinker with these things with Zhang Xu and get them out quickly.
However, Mingyue should be pregnant now, so it is not convenient for her to travel long distance.
If you want to get Zhang Xu back, you probably have to wait until Mingyue gives birth!
Damn it!
It hurts!
…
Ten miles away from the north gate of Sifang County.
Yun Li sat in the carriage, which had an iron stove for warming himself.
A large group of officials gathered around the carriage.
Some were officials that the court was preparing to send to the Northwest Protectorate.
Some of them are local officials from Fuzhou.
Yun Li didn't want to pick up Yun Zheng at all.
But Yun Zheng’s contribution was too great, and there was also a wedding farewell group from Beihuan on this trip.
If he, the crown prince, doesn't lead people to welcome him, is it possible that Emperor Wen, the father, should come to welcome him?
Lao Liu, this bastard, might still be thinking about how to trick himself!
This bastard can't even poop when his butt sticks up!
Thinking about the painful experiences of being tricked by Yun Zheng many times, Yun Li felt furious.
You bastard!
I will definitely catch you this time!
Just as Yun Li was thinking viciously, the scout he sent out came back with a report.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince and his men are less than ten miles away. In addition..."
Having said this, the person who came back to report the news suddenly stopped.
"What else?"
Yun Li glanced over with a cold look.
The man glanced at Yun Li's expression and said cautiously, "His Highness the Sixth Prince brought a heavily armored army..."
"What?"
Yun Li's expression suddenly changed, "Are you sure it's the Ironclad Army?"
"Sure!"
"How many people are there?"
"The exact number is unclear, but there are at least more than 2,000 people..."
Two thousand people...or more?
Listening to this man's report, Yun Li's face turned green.
Heavy cavalry!
That bastard Lao Liu actually created a heavily armored cavalry in Shuobei?
Although Yun Li didn't know much about military affairs, he knew how terrifying heavy cavalry was.
The key point is that all these troops in Sifang County are infantry!
Moreover, they were infantrymen who didn’t even have complete armor!
Two thousand heavily armored cavalry can definitely easily kill through Zhou Daogong's 30,000 troops!
Even if they counted Zhao Ji's 10,000 elite cavalry, if the heavily armored cavalry led by Yun Zheng wanted to protect him from breaking out, they would most likely not be able to stop him.
As long as we don't catch that bastard Lao Liu and let him go back to Beilu Pass, he will be the one in trouble!
Yun Li's face looked extremely ugly, and he was in hesitation.
To take action or not to take action?
If he took action, with the cover of the heavily armored cavalry, the possibility of him catching Yun Zheng would be very slim.
If he doesn't take action, he will miss this great opportunity in vain!
This may very well be his only chance!
what to do?
Should we take action or not?
Yun Li fell into a huge struggle.
After a long time, Yun Li decided to wait and see.
I'll discuss this with my father later.
Yun Zheng's arrival with heavily armored cavalry was really beyond his expectations.
Thinking of this, Yun Li wished he could drag out all the people he had sent to Shuobei and execute them.
This bastard Lao Liu had the information about heavy armored cavalry, but no one reported it to him?
What on earth do these useless people do for a living?
The more Yun Li thought about it, the angrier he became, and his body began to feel inexplicably hot.
In anger, Yun Li walked out of the carriage with a dark face and went outside to get some fresh air.
Seeing that Yun Li looked unhappy, the officials did not dare to ask more questions and could only lower their heads and act respectful.
"Why are you all keeping your heads down? Cheer up!"
Yun Li vented his anger at everyone in a bad mood.
Everyone didn't know what was wrong with Yun Li, so they could only raise their heads and pretend to be energetic.
"Yuan Gui, follow me!"
Yun Li glanced at everyone angrily, and called Yuan Gui to go aside.
Yuan Gui was nervous and followed Yun Li carefully.
When the two of them were more than ten feet away from the crowd, Yun Li asked with a dark face, "You used to be a cavalry captain. Tell me, can ten thousand elite cavalrymen plus Zhou Daogong's thirty thousand soldiers and horses stop two thousand heavily armored cavalrymen who are determined to break through?"
Heavy...heavy cavalry?
Yuan Gui's eyelids jumped suddenly and he almost bit his tongue.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Gui replied with a stiff upper lip: "Although the heavily armored cavalry are hard to be injured by swords, they are not invincible! It is definitely not possible to intercept them by force, but we can send light cavalry to chase them all the way and eat them up bit by bit!"
"Eat it bit by bit?"
Yun Li's expression became even uglier.
What Yuan Gui said sounds like fart!
By the time they eat up the heavy cavalry, that bastard would probably have run back to Beilu Pass!
Moreover, the biggest possibility is that they did not eat the heavy armored cavalry, but were eaten by the heavy armored cavalry instead!
Damn it!
This is really troublesome!
