Chapter 1097: Yu Nation's Sneak Attack
The next day, Jia Yao left the palace early.
When leaving, Jia Yao hugged Yun Zheng in public, kissed Yun Zheng boldly, and then leaned over to Yun Zheng's ear and said, "I'll wait for you on the grassland!"
"Ok!"
Yun Zheng nodded heavily and said goodbye to Jia Yao reluctantly.
On the day Jia Yao left, Yun Zheng arranged the marriage for Yu Shizhong and Zhuoma at the palace, and then rushed to Changle County without stopping.
Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.
By the time they arrive in Changle County, the crops in the official fields will probably all be ready for harvest.
Yun Zheng had already told Shen Luoyan and the others about this matter, and without saying goodbye to them, he hurriedly left with Miaoyin and his guards.
The main purpose of this trip was to see what crops were grown in the official fields. Yun Zheng and his companions traveled light and marched quickly all the way.
On the afternoon of the third day, they saw Beilu Pass.
When they were rushing towards Beilu Pass, a scout in front suddenly came galloping over on a horse with three small orange flags on its back.
Looking at the person speeding towards him, Yun Zheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Three orange flags!
Emergency military situation!
Moreover, this is urgent military information sent from Beilu Pass to Shuofang!
Did something happen in Fuzhou?
The imperial army suddenly attacked Fuzhou?
No way?
Just when he was full of doubts, the messenger had already arrived in front of Yun Zheng under the leadership of the scout.
The messenger quickly dismounted and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, the Yu Kingdom attacked Yuzhou on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival! This is a handwritten letter from Lord Tuohuan!"
what?
The Yu Kingdom launched a surprise attack on Yuzhou?
Yun Zheng's face suddenly fell and he immediately took Tuohuan's handwritten letter and opened it.
Tuo Huan respectfully presents to His Majesty:
I have received accurate information that the bandits of Yu State attacked Yuzhou from three directions on the night of August 15. As of August 19, they had broken into two counties of Yuzhou, burned, killed and looted in the city, and the casualties in the two counties are unknown...
After reading Tuohuan's letter, Yun Zheng's face became even colder.
Although Yuzhou was not under his rule, the sneak attack by Yu State still filled him with anger.
Yu country!
Dogs can’t change eating shit!
Instead of staying in one corner, you have to be a humiliator!
Before I even reached Yu Country, they came here first!
Moreover, they chose the 15th day of August specifically!
This is the time when families reunite, and the defenders of each city must be the most relaxed.
Moreover, the autumn harvest in Yuzhou should be almost over, which is a good time to plunder!
Obviously, this was a carefully planned operation.
Even though Tuohuan hasn't found out about the casualties in Yuzhou yet, it is estimated that the casualties in Yuzhou will not be low.
However, even if he wanted to send troops to conquer the State of Yu and completely destroy its lair, he was powerless to do so.
He doesn't have many warships now!
Sending the Shuobei navy to attack now is almost equivalent to sending people to their deaths!
I guess I can't count on the imperial court either.
The court's navy was mainly stationed in the navy camp in Hezhou, and the warships under its supervision were also built in Yuanzhou near Yunan.
If these scums of the Yu Kingdom had looted and then retreated, by the time the imperial navy arrived to attack them, these scums would have already run away.
Moreover, Daqian did not pay much attention to the navy in the past. If they encountered each other at sea, Daqian’s navy might not be able to win!
This is like being fed a mouthful of shit and having to swallow it!
"Do not be angry."
Miaoyin comforted Yun Zheng, "This matter is in Yuzhou. We are too far away to do anything now..."
The Yu Kingdom is isolated overseas, and the Shuobei Navy doesn't even have a few warships. Even if Yun Zheng is a good fighter, he can't do anything about it.
You can't let people jump into the sea and swim to Yu Country, right?
"I know."
Yun Zheng took a deep breath, "I just can't swallow this anger! This time, we can only watch helplessly! This vengeance can only be avenged later!"
Miaoyin nodded gently: "In the future, we will attack Yu Country and make them pay back double the amount!"
“Double is not enough!”
Yun Zheng shook his head, his eyes were extremely determined: "We must settle all the old and new accounts with them! This bird country, I will definitely destroy it!"
Anyone can be immortal.
The Yu Kingdom must be destroyed!
Yun Zheng took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice with a frosty face: "Come here, tell Yu Shizhong to immediately assist Jia Yao in forcing the Mongol and Zhenhe tribes to land!"
……
Imperial City.
The imperial court was also in an uproar because of the Yu Kingdom's sneak attack on Yuzhou.
Emperor Wen, who had not attended court for a long time, also attended court again.
However, there was no quarrel in the court today.
There are no pro-war and pro-peace factions.
The imperial court has received accurate information that the army of Yu State has begun to retreat after burning, killing and looting.
It would be meaningless even if Daqian's navy attacked.
It’s not that we don’t fight, it’s that we simply can’t fight.
They couldn't catch up with them, and the imperial court's small navy couldn't defeat the enemy even if they went to the mainland of Yu State. What else could they do in this situation?
Emperor Wen was aware of this, and so were all the civil and military officials in the court.
"The most urgent task is to quickly calculate the casualties and losses in Yuzhou, so that those who need disaster relief can receive relief and those who need compensation can receive compensation."
"We still need to investigate whether this matter is related to the Red Moon Cult in Yuzhou! I think this matter is probably related to the Red Moon Cult."
"Master Tang is right. The Red Moon Cult was stirring up trouble in Yuzhou, and the Yu Nation attacked Yuzhou. There is probably a connection between the two!"
"We have to hurry up and supervise the construction of warships. We suffered a loss this time, and we can't suffer a loss next time!"
"I believe that Yuzhou Governor Kang Guangyan was ineffective in suppressing the Red Moon Sect and failed to detect Yu Country's conspiracy in time. He should be punished!"
"I second the proposal..."
In the court, all the ministers made suggestions.
Emperor Wen rarely got angry because of the attack on Daqian. He just sat on the throne and listened quietly to the advice of his court officials.
"Prince, what do you think?"
After a long silence, Emperor Wen finally spoke.
Yun Li bowed and said, "Father, I think this is not the best time to punish Kang Guangyan."
"reason."
Emperor Wen asked simply and directly.
Yun Li replied: "The attack on Yuzhou will inevitably lead to chaos. Kang Guangyan has been in office for three years and knows Yuzhou best. The most urgent task is to let Kang Guangyan calm the people and stabilize Yuzhou first to prevent the Red Moon Cult from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble! Once Yuzhou is stabilized, it will not be too late to take Kang Guangyan back to the imperial city to punish him!"
Yun Li's words were also recognized by many court officials, and many of them nodded.
Emperor Wen frowned slightly and asked, "What if Kang Guangyan himself is in collusion with the Red Moon Sect?"
"This……"
Yun Li was speechless and said ashamedly, "My son has not thought it through."
He really didn't expect this.
However, Kang Guangyan had used ruthless force when he attacked the Red Moon Cult before!
Logically speaking, Kang Guangyan should have nothing to do with the Red Moon Cult, right?
At this moment, Xiao Wanchou stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Yuzhou is seriously ill, and the court must take drastic measures! In addition, the court should quickly send troops to support Yuzhou to prevent the Yu Kingdom bandits from making a comeback! In this way, if someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos, it can be quickly suppressed!"
"Mr. Yuguo has a point."
Emperor Wen nodded, "We can discuss the drastic measures later, but the matter of mobilizing troops cannot be delayed! Where do you think the court should mobilize troops to help Yuzhou?"
