Chapter 1488 Anger
After arranging all the matters, Yun Zheng also planned to return to the capital.
However, he certainly could not follow the main army, and he had to leave first with his guards, Qinpu and others.
On the second day after they set off, Yun Zheng finally received another urgent military intelligence report from the imperial city.
Yun Zheng opened it and checked it as quickly as possible.
After seeing the contents of the urgent report, Yun Zheng's face turned ugly again.
Prior to this, the Le State was attacked by the Gao Qin people to the east of the Le Dynasty.
The State of Li had just been attacked by Daqian last year, and was attacked by the Gaoqin tribe this year, so it was naturally unable to resist.
At the beginning, Wang Qi did not send troops to help. His original intention was to let the Gaoqin tribe consume more of the Li Kingdom's military strength, but he overestimated the fighting effectiveness of the Li Kingdom's soldiers.
Faced with the fierce attack of the Gaoqin tribe, Baishan Road and Pingxu Road of the Li Kingdom quickly fell, and even the capital of the Li Kingdom was threatened by the Gaoqin army.
Faced with Wang Chi's repeated requests for help, Wang Qi knew that he could no longer sit idly by, so he personally led 20,000 troops to help.
But when Wang Zaiqi led his troops to attack the enemy, they were stabbed in the back by the Le Kingdom. Their food and supplies were burned by the Le Dynasty army that attacked from the rear, and they were surrounded by the enemy.
Wang Qi's troops were surrounded and his life or death was uncertain.
The enemy took advantage of the lack of troops in Lu'an Road and captured Lu'an Road in one fell swoop.
Shen Kuan received news that a coup seemed to have taken place in the State of Li, and Wang Chi seemed to have been killed by traitors. The stabbing of Daqian was most likely done by traitors of the State of Li who were bribed by the Gaoqin tribe.
But this is just the news Shen Kuan received and it has not been confirmed yet.
Now, Shen Kuan still has more than 30,000 troops under his command. He is unable to launch a counterattack and can only defend Shangqing Road.
Shen Kuan also made a pledge in the letter that as long as he was still alive, he would never let Shangqing Road fall into the hands of the enemy.
Yun Zheng clenched his fists tightly, his face cold.
The Kauchin people!
The traitor of the Kingdom of Li!
I swear I won’t be a human being if I don’t avenge this!
Yun Zheng raised his head, gritted his teeth and growled: "Send a message to Pang Jinjiu and Lu Xing! Meet up with me immediately. This matter is extremely urgent. Anyone who dares to slack off will be killed!"
"Order Gao He to immediately dispatch 10,000 elite soldiers to Tianhu for deployment!"
"Order Luntai to dispatch 10,000 elite cavalry to Hezhou as quickly as possible to serve!"
"Order: Appoint Zhou Daogong as the main general, Zhou Mi and Lang Jie as deputy generals, and quickly prepare 20,000 cavalrymen and rush to Dingbei as quickly as possible to await the next order from the king..."
Commands came out of Yun Zheng's mouth one after another, and the temperature around them seemed to drop a few degrees.
"Yes!"
The messenger took the order and left quickly, not daring to delay for a moment.
Everyone who is familiar with Yun Zheng knows that he is really angry.
This time, there will probably be a river of blood on the side of the Li Kingdom.
……
A day later, Pang Jinjiu, Lu Xing and Tong Gang were ordered to come to the place where Yun Zheng led the personal guards to rest.
None of the three led any troops, and each only brought a dozen or so personal soldiers.
After a simple greeting, Yun Zheng handed the letter that Shen Kuan had sent back to the three of them, "Take a look at this letter first!"
The three of them did not dare to delay and quickly gathered together to check the letter.
After seeing the contents of the letter, the faces of the three people became extremely ugly.
No wonder the messenger who gave them the message reminded them that His Highness was very angry and asked them not to delay.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the three people.
"revenge!"
Pang Jinjiu didn't say anything extra. Just two simple words explained everything.
Lu Xing's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I will never return to my country unless the Li Kingdom is destroyed!"
Wang Qi can be regarded as a veteran figure under Yun Zheng. He assisted Huo Gu in capturing Wei Wenzhong, and later followed Yun Zheng to fight in many places, and made great military achievements.
Moreover, Wang Qi was also the commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Li State.
The head coach Wang Qi is trapped in a siege and his life or death is uncertain!
If the Li Kingdom is not destroyed, where will Daqian put its face?
They also want to use this war to let all the forces that have surrendered to Daqian know the consequences of rebellion!
"very good!"
Yun Zheng nodded heavily, "I will not say anything more. How you fight is your own business! I have only one request, let the enemy pay with blood!"
"Yes!"
They both took the order.
"I have already arranged for the follow-up reinforcements!"
Yun Zheng's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "The reinforcements must reach Li Kingdom as soon as possible. They can't carry too much food and grass. If Shen Kuan doesn't have enough food and grass when he gets there, you can handle it on yourselves!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng's voice became extremely cold.
Although Yun Zheng did not say it explicitly, they all understood what Yun Zheng meant.
If there is not enough food and grass, all the people of Li may starve to death!
Pang Jinjiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder how many reinforcements Your Highness has dispatched?"
"The navy has already sent over 17,000 troops to support us, and I have prepared another 40,000 troops!"
Yun Zheng replied: "Ten thousand infantry, thirty thousand cavalry!"
what?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, both of them were shocked.
Thirty thousand cavalry?
This is obviously not just about destroying the Kingdom of Li!
There is also the Gaochin tribe, they are going to be exterminated as well!
Pang Jinjiu's eyes flashed, "With these 40,000 troops, we will definitely conquer the Li Kingdom and the Gaoqin tribe!"
"Correct!"
Lu Xing also nodded: "I am willing to issue a military order!"
"Don't rush to issue a military order!"
Yun Zheng stopped Lu Xing and said, "The 20,000 cavalrymen led by Zhou Daogong are just prepared for you first. They are not needed now!"
"Ah? This..."
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other.
Yun Zheng turned around and looked into the distance with deep eyes, "Now that Lu'an Road has been lost, Juncheng must have fallen into the hands of the enemy again!"
"Before we recapture Juncheng, we can only send reinforcements from the sea!"
"It would take a long time just to transport so many people across the sea!"
"Beihuan's 10,000 cavalrymen can't be considered reinforcements. Before we can retake Juncheng, those 10,000 troops are just to make sure nothing goes wrong in Zhenzhou and Hezhou!"
"The only reinforcements you can take with you right now are the 10,000 troops that I ordered Gao He to transfer to Tianhu!"
"Moreover, you can't take all these 10,000 people to the Kingdom of Li at once..."
Yao Baoju and his men should have already led the navy to set off.
The remaining naval warships were simply unable to transport 10,000 people to the State of Li at one time.
Only after the navy from the three places sent their troops there and then returned to Xinjin could more troops be transported to the State of Li.
Lu Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Can we directly send a large number of cavalry into Hezhou to retake Juncheng, and then..."
"Don't think about this for now."
Yun Zheng shook his head. "The enemy is not stupid. They will definitely send heavy troops to defend Juncheng and prevent us from sending reinforcements from Hezhou!"
"It's too difficult to cross the Danshui River and capture Juncheng at this time!"
"Instead of doing this, it is better to attack from Shangqing Road and then seize Juncheng!"
"Besides, we are hastily sending reinforcements. If we gather too many troops in Hezhou, food and grass will also be a problem!"
"So, when you arrive in Li, the first thing you need to do is to find a way to retake Juncheng!"
"As long as we take back Juncheng, Zhou Daogong's 20,000 elite cavalry will be able to quickly kill us!"
"While you are trying to capture Juncheng, I can also quickly mobilize military supplies to Hezhou..."
