On the vast land, Yu Shizhong and Jia Yao were still leading their troops in raids.
They also adopted the marching strategy of the front army preparing fodder for the rear army.
However, the combined forces of the Northern Palace Army and the Northern Huan Army numbered a total of 20,000 men.
This also causes their raid speed to be slow.
According to their raiding speed, it would take about a day for them to meet up with Yun Zheng and the others.
Yu Shizhong led 10,000 cavalrymen to the small grassland that Daga Yao mentioned. Without Yu Shizhong's orders, the soldiers of the Northern Army took action separately.
Some people began to herd horses, and some people began to harvest fodder to prepare for the Beihuan army behind them.
Some people collected everyone's water bags and ran upstream to fill them.
Yu Shizhong stopped, grabbed a handful of fried rice and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly, while he was constantly thinking in his mind.
More than an hour later, the Beihuan army, serving as the rear guard, arrived.
...
...
At this time, the Northern Army had already prepared fodder for their war horses.
When Jia Yao came over, Yu Shizhong was still thinking about something.
"General Yu, what are you thinking about?"
Jia Yao asked Yu Shizhong curiously.
"nothing."
Yu Shizhong came back to his senses and asked, "Princess Jiayao wants to see me for something?"
Seeing that Yu Shizhong was unwilling to say more, Jia Yao did not ask any more questions, and answered Yu Shizhong's question: "You know Yun Zheng very well. I want to ask you, do you think that if the Guifang are desperate and desperately attack Yun Zheng and his men, can they stop them?"
Yu Shizhong raised his eyes and smiled meaningfully, "Then does the princess hope that His Highness and the others can stop it, or does she hope that they can't stop it?"
"Of course I hope they block it!"
Jia Yao's face was calm, and he answered slowly: "As long as they can hold them off, our 20,000 troops will push forward, and the Guifang army will basically be annihilated."
"As long as the princess wants His Highness and his men to stop them, they will definitely be able to stop them!" Yu Shizhong laughed, "Besides, the Guifang did not dare to launch a large-scale attack before. Under this circumstance, it should be even more impossible for them to launch a large-scale attack again."
Jia Yao nodded in agreement, with a trace of worry on his face. "Logically speaking, the Guifang people really don't dare to attack. However, I am still worried that the Guifang people will do something desperate."
After all, Yun Zheng and his army only had more than 10,000 people.
But the Guifang had 70,000 troops!
The Guifang were almost forced into a desperate situation.
In this situation, it is possible that the Guifang will do something desperate.
"It's rare that the princess is so worried about His Highness and the others."
Yu Shizhong glanced at Jia Yao with a half-smile, and said firmly: "In front of Your Highness, they have no chance to jump off the wall!"
How could Yu Shizhong not know Jia Yao’s little thoughts.
Doesn’t Jia Yao know Yun Zheng’s abilities?
Jia Yao is so concerned about the situation of Yun Zheng and the others, it is just a gesture of goodwill.
The battle wasn't over yet, but Jia Yao was already thinking about dividing the spoils.
Yu Shizhong felt some sympathy and admiration for Jia Yao.
In order to get more spoils and to make life easier for the people of Beihuan, she basically tried every possible means.
Just as Yu Shizhong was secretly sighing, a white falcon suddenly appeared in the sky.
Seeing Bai Falcon, Jia Yao and Yu Shizhong's faces changed at the same time.
Both of them looked up at the white falcon in the sky, wanting to see if it would land.
As they watched, the white falcon began to circle in the sky.
In the end, the white falcon fell into the Beihuan army.
The white falcon that delivers the message!
This is the news from Yun Zheng!
Without hesitation, the two men rode their horses towards the resting Beihuan army.
At the same time, the falconer who received the news came galloping on his horse.
"Princess! There's news from King Jingbei!"
The falconer came up to them and quickly handed over the note he had received.
Jia Yao took the note and immediately lit a small pile of hay with a tinder and began to decipher the message.
Our troops have defeated the enemy and are heading quickly to the west of Yangchang River to capture prisoners.
Yun Zheng's message was brief.
However, Jia Yao was stunned when reading the message.
Jia Yao rubbed his eyes vigorously and checked again carefully, fearing that he might have deciphered it wrong.
However, even if she deciphered it again, the content was still the same.
Has Yun Zheng led his troops to defeat the 70,000-strong Guifang army?
This...how is it possible?
After all, Guifang still has 70,000 troops!
Yun Zheng has only a little over 10,000 troops and only 5,000 cavalry!
They hadn't even charged over yet, and hadn't even launched a pincer attack on the enemy with Yun Zheng's troops, but Yun Zheng had already defeated the enemy?
Damn it!
How did Yun Zheng do it?
Even if the Guifang's morale is low, they shouldn't be defeated so quickly!
After all, that army was led by Guifang King Tuoliang himself!
In addition to being shocked, Jia Yao secretly wondered if Yun Zheng wanted them to die.
But after thinking about it, Jia Yao rejected this idea.
Now it's not just Beihuan's army.
Yu Shizhong also brought people from the Northern Army!
Even if Yun Zheng wanted to weaken Beihuan, he would not take the lives of the Beifu Army's soldiers as a joke.
Seeing that Jiayao looked a little strange, Yu Shizhong immediately asked, "Princess, what is written on it?"
Yun Zheng did not deliberately teach him to recognize those numbers.
Although he saw the numbers above, he still didn't quite understand what they meant.
What he was most worried about was that Jia Yao's bad luck would come true and something happened to Yun Zheng and the others.
Jia Yao opened her red lips and remained silent for a long time before telling Yu Shizhong the content of the news.
Upon hearing the news, Yu Shizhong was surprised and happy.
Your Highness actually defeated the enemy?
However, after thinking about it again, Yu Shizhong felt a little more doubtful.
Could it be that Jia Yao deliberately told him false news?
"Princess, His Highness led his troops to defeat the enemy, you don't seem very happy?"
Yu Shizhong looked at Jia Yao with a playful expression and began to test her.
"If you were in my shoes, do you think I should be happy?"
Jiayao's face was full of bitterness, and she wanted to stand up and curse.
She definitely doesn't want Yun Zheng to defeat that group of enemy troops!
What she needs is for them to join forces to defeat the enemy forces!
Moreover, as long as they lead their troops to arrive and attack the enemy from both sides, the enemy will surely be defeated!
In this way, since they had contributed in this battle, Yun Zheng must give them some of the spoils.
Now, before they even arrived, the enemy forces had already been defeated.
Given Yun Zheng’s character, if they didn’t contribute any effort, most of the seized supplies would not be theirs!
This means that the food and supplies they obtained flew away in vain!
There's no way she could be happy.
Yu Shizhong thought about it for a moment and understood what Jia Yao meant. He smiled and said, "Princess, you are such a smart person, why are you so confused now?"
"What's the meaning?"
Jia Yao asked in confusion.
"Isn't it also a credit to capture prisoners?"
Yu Shizhong smiled, "Princess, you should know that Shuobei needs a large number of prisoners! Since we no longer have the opportunity to cooperate with His Highness to defeat the enemy, let's capture as many prisoners as possible!"
Is that so?
Jia Yao was surprised.
After thinking silently for a while, Jia Yao smiled bitterly again.
Now, this is the only way!
I hope we can capture more prisoners!
