On the third day of the first lunar month, Yun Zheng took Jia Yao and set off for Fuzhou.
He and Jia Yao’s wedding date is set for the tenth day of the first lunar month.
The distance to Fuzhou is not short, so even if they are all cavalry, they must set off early.
The wedding is on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so we have to rush to Sifang County on the ninth day.
Ye Zi originally wanted to go, but Yun Zheng was determined not to let Ye Zi go.
Knowing that the third brother wanted to take the opportunity to harm them, he still brought Ye Zi with him. Isn't that simply insane?
Although he was not afraid of the third brother's conspiracy, Ye Zi was pregnant after all. If she was injured in the chaos, he would regret it to death.
Yun Zheng also did not let Madam Shen and Wei Shuang go with them.
The main thing is that he doesn't know when Shen Luoyan will give birth, so he should feel more at ease if he lets Madam Shen and Wei Shuang stay at home.
Yun Zheng also brought enough troops on this trip.
...
...
Yun Zheng's personal guards alone were temporarily increased to two thousand people, plus an additional three thousand Blood-Clothed Soldiers.
And these are just the people who are departing from Dingbei.
Some people have already entered Beilu Pass in advance.
In addition, 5,000 cavalrymen of the Guiyi Army had already entered Beilu Pass in advance.
These five thousand people are Beihuan’s “wedding escort group”.
After marching for several days in the wind and snow, they finally arrived at Beilu Pass on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Looking at the majestic pass in front of him, Jia Yao couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
She had heard her father and others mention the name of Beilu Pass many times since she was a child.
She knew that this was the first hurdle in the battle and also the toughest nut to crack for Beihuan.
She had wanted to come to Beilu Pass to see what the mighty pass that her father and others often mentioned looked like. She had also fantasized that one day she would lead her troops to break through Beilu Pass and make the entire Dagan tremble under the iron hooves of the Beihuan cavalry.
However, now she can no longer see any hope.
Now, she finally saw Beilu Pass.
This is indeed a magnificent fortress.
However, she saw this magnificent pass as a defeated warrior.
"Doesn't your neck hurt?"
Just as Jia Yao was lost in thought, Yun Zheng's voice sounded in her ears.
Jia Yao came back to his senses and noticed that he had been craning his neck to look at this majestic pass.
Jia Yao withdrew his gaze in dismay and said with emotion: "I don't know whether to say that the commander of Beilu Pass is stupid, or that you are smart. You actually captured such a magnificent pass."
"I should say I'm lucky."
Yun Zheng chuckled, "I say, you weren't thinking about how to break through Beilu Pass just now, were you?"
"I don't have that ability." Jia Yao glanced at Yun Zheng, "I don't even dare to cross the Yellow Sand Sea now, and you're still planning to attack Beilu Pass? Do you think I'm bored?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said no more.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of Beilu Pass.
Wei Yu, who received the news, was already waiting there with the generals from Beilu Pass and Yu Shizhong.
When seeing Yu Shizhong, Jia Yao couldn't help but have a hint of doubt in his eyes.
She didn't see Yu Shizhong at the Yanhuishan camp, but Yu Shizhong actually ran to Beilu Pass?
Why did Yu Shizhong come to Beilu Pass when he was not guarding the Yanhui Mountain camp?
In just a moment, Jia Yao smelled an unusual smell.
"Greetings to His Highness, and to Madam Jiayao..."
As Yun Zheng and his men approached, all the generals saluted.
"Okay, stop being so polite, let's go through the customs first!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and instructed Wei Yu, "Find a place to settle Madam Jiayao's guards."
"yes!"
Wei Yu took the order.
Under the guidance of everyone, Yun Zheng and his group quickly entered the customs.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng directly summoned all the generals to discuss matters, and Jia Yao was taken away by someone Yun Zheng sent to rest.
"Has there been any news from the Eighteen Ghost Riders?"
Yun Zheng got straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
"have!"
Yu Shizhong reported: "As Your Highness expected, the Northwest has indeed sent people over! Youyi sent someone to report that Zhao Ji personally led 10,000 elite cavalry into a valley fifty miles northwest of Sifang County at dusk the day before yesterday..."
Yun Zheng did not tell anyone else that Emperor Wen had sent someone to deliver a message to him.
Just my own speculation.
Some things are better known to their own family, there is no need to make them known to everyone.
"Is Zhao Ji leading the army personally?"
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Besides the 10,000 elite cavalry, are there any unusual movements from other units?"
"We haven't received any relevant information yet." Yu Shizhong replied.
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, his eyes fell on Yu Shizhong, "You also have 10,000 elite cavalry under your command, do you want to fight with our veteran generals?"
"Of course!"
Yu Shizhong nodded without hesitation, and said with a firm look: "As long as Your Highness gives the order, I will capture Zhao Ji and bring him before Your Highness!"
Yu Shizhong is definitely Yun Zheng's die-hard fan.
As for the court, except for the question of arresting Emperor Wen, for which he might hesitate, he would not hesitate for anyone else.
Besides, Zhao Ji secretly led 10,000 elite cavalry into the valley. If he was not coming for Yun Zheng, could he have brought people there to herd horses?
Yun Zheng has made great military achievements and has expanded the territory for the country. Now the imperial court wants to use the occasion of Yun Zheng and Jia Yao's wedding to murder Yun Zheng. Not only will he not agree to it, the entire Northern Army will not agree to it.
"You don't have to capture Zhao Ji and bring him before me."
Yun Zheng's expression relaxed a little, "Just trap them in the valley and don't let them run around!"
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong accepted the order and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, did the emperor listen to the slander of some treacherous villain in the court? Or did the prince secretly mobilize the troops in the northwest without telling the emperor?"
"This is not something we need to consider now!"
Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "For now, we just need to prepare a response plan! As for what exactly is going on, I will ask my father in person!"
"I understand!"
Yu Shizhong said no more.
"You have been guarding the North Foothills for so long, it's time to stretch your muscles."
Yun Zheng's eyes fell on Wei Yu again. "Tomorrow, you will lead 10,000 troops out of the pass for 30 miles in the name of martial arts performance. You don't need to march in a hurry, just approach slowly!"
"yes."
Wei Yu immediately accepted the order.
"Fu Tianyan!"
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked over.
"I will be here!"
Fu Tianyan stood up immediately.
Yun Zheng said in a deep voice: "Tell the Guiyi Army to keep their mouths shut! From now on, they are Beihuan's wedding escort group! If anyone reveals the truth, I don't mind sending one more peat miner!"
"yes!"
Even if Yun Zheng didn't give any instructions, he would definitely explain this.
Although it wouldn't be a big deal if this matter was exposed, it would be bad if it got out.
After all, this was to fool the court and Emperor Wen.
Moreover, the Beifu Army had defeated Beihuan and forced it to surrender. Now that Yun Zheng and Jia Yao were getting married, if Beihuan didn't even have a wedding party, people who didn't know the inside story would think that Beihuan was slacking off!
Well, I have to disguise myself so that I won’t be recognized.
"Okay, that's it!"
Yun Zheng stood up and said, "Everyone, get ready. Let's all set off early tomorrow morning!"
