Chapter 317 Xiao Wanchou’s little thoughts
After being rejected by Yunzheng, Wei Wenzhong also left with his people.
Now that Yun Zheng had been promoted, the troops that had previously defended Split Wind Canyon were now under Yun Zheng's command.
Although Wei Wenzhong was somewhat reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
This was Xiao Wanchou's suggestion.
Xiao Wanchou's reasons were also very good. Shuofang had few troops, and the Shuofang army led by Yun Zheng caused heavy losses to Beihuan's army many times.
No one knows how Beihuan will deal with Yunzheng.
But there is no doubt that Beihuan is eager to cut Yunzheng into pieces with a thousand knives.
No matter what, Yun Zheng must have some troops on hand.
Now there are many people who suspect that Wei Wenzhong wants to use Beihuan's help to get rid of Yunzheng. If Wei Wenzhong refuses Xiao Wanchou's proposal again, wouldn't it be even more suspicious?
Of those nine thousand people, Wei Wenzhong only took away Yuan Lie.
However, the defense of Split Wind Canyon was also handed over to Yunzheng's hands.
On the day Wei Wenzhong took his people away, Xiao Wanchou also said goodbye to Yunzheng.
He has been struggling in Shuobei for a while. Now that the crisis in Shuobei has been resolved, it is time for him to return to the imperial city to find Emperor Wen to restore his life.
Before leaving, Yunzheng packed jars of wine for Xiao Wanchou and the others.
One hundred altars were given to Emperor Wen.
Yunli, Qin Liugan and Xiao Wanchou each had ten altars.
Although he and Yun Li didn't get along, they still wanted to show off.
He wanted to let his father know that he was still thinking of Yun Li.
If Yun Li wants to do things openly, he must first pass the test of his father!
In addition, Yunzheng also selected ten fine Beihuan war horses from the army and gave them to Xiao Wanchou, asking him to bring them to Emperor Wen.
It is temporarily impossible to return thousands of war horses to Emperor Wen!
But it’s okay to pay back the ten horses first to show your interest.
He wanted to let Emperor Wen know that he still remembered what he said, and it would be better for Emperor Wen to miss him more.
"Mr. Yu Guo, take care along the way!"
Yun Zheng sent Xiao Wanchou and his party to the south gate to say goodbye to Xiao Wanchou.
"Your Highness and Princess, please take care of yourself!"
Xiao Wanchou chuckled, "I hope to receive another good news from His Highness in the Imperial City!"
"Hopefully!"
Yun Zheng chuckled.
"Your Highness, Princess, there are still many matters for you to handle in the camp, so just send them here!" Xiao Wanchou smiled.
"it is good!"
Yun Zheng nodded, "Then I'll forgive Yun Zheng for not sending me far away!"
"Your Highness, Princess, farewell!"
Xiao Wanchou waved goodbye to Yun Zheng and quickly rode up to follow the team in front.
Looking at the team gradually retreating, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.
His impression of Xiao Wanchou was still very good.
In the past, when he was falsely accused of colluding with Beihuan in the court, Xiao Wanchou also tried to protect him.
Moreover, Xiao Wanchou's eldest son Xiao Dingwu taught him the art of war and formations for several days.
After all, Xiao Dingwu was half his teacher.
"Mr. Yu Guo, take care!"
Yun Zheng once again bowed to Xiao Wanchou who was walking away.
Shen Luoyan also saluted.
When he straightened up, Shen Luoyan asked again: "When we meet again, I'm afraid you will have to fight each other, right?"
"probably!"
Yun Zheng nodded lightly, "I hope I won't have to fight against their father and son one day!"
Having said that, Yun Zheng knew in his heart that this possibility was extremely small.
If he wants to control the Beifu Army, he must capture Beiluguan!
To capture Beilu Pass, one must first capture Xiao Dingwu, the defender of Beilu Pass.
At that time, it will be the time when he and Xiao Dingwu will meet in battle.
Shen Luoyan sighed softly, "Let's go, we should go back! We still have a lot to do. The soldiers and horses in Yuan Lie's hands have to be reorganized and mixed into various departments."
Yuan Lie is a die-hard loyalist of Wei Wenzhong.
It's not that easy for them to recapture those nine thousand troops.
The best way is to break it up into different parts.
These nine thousand elite soldiers can just increase the strength of the troops composed of field soldiers, and can also prevent these nine thousand people from gathering together to cause a mutiny.
Yunzheng nodded and followed Shen Luoyan to get on his horse.
……
After leaving Shuofang, Xiao Wanchou urged everyone to speed up.
Because of Beihuan's sudden attack, they had already lost a lot of time.
They must hurry up and rush back to report to Emperor Wen.
The baggage they carried was not much, mainly a small amount of dry food and the wine that Yunzheng asked him to bring back.
It originally took three days to reach Beiluguan, but they arrived in only two days.
In the evening, Xiao Wanchou decided to take a group of people to stay at Beilu Pass for one night and leave the pass tomorrow.
After exiting the customs, there will be less snow on the road and the speed will be faster.
Of course, Xiao Wanchou also has his own Xiao Jiujiu.
The current Beilu Gatekeeper is his son.
Since he is here as a father, he has to see his son no matter what.
Moreover, he had something extremely important to tell Xiao Dingwu.
In the evening, Xiao Wanchou called Xiao Dingwu to his room for a drink.
After briefly chatting about some household matters, Xiao Wanchou said with a serious face: "My father will leave early tomorrow morning. After returning to the imperial city, my father will resign as Minister of the Ministry of War due to illness. Once you receive the news that my father is seriously ill, After hearing the news, I immediately asked the Holy Father to resign, saying that I would go home to pay my last respects..."
"what?"
Xiao Dingwu was immediately stunned by his father's words, "Dad, are you... drunk?"
Even if he pretends to be ill, he still wants to resign as the guard general of Beilu Pass under the pretense of going back to see him die?
What is this called!
"Drunk ass!"
Xiao Wanchou glared at his son angrily and said in a low voice: "Father, I guess the weather in Shuobei is going to change! We, the Xiao family, had better not take a trip into this muddy water!"
"what?"
Xiao Dingwu's expression changed and he looked at his father in disbelief.
Is the sky going to change in Shuobei?
Didn’t Shuobei win so many battles in succession?
Why is the sky in Shuobei about to change?
Can Beihuan still capture Shuobei?
Even if Beihuan wants to capture Shuobei, it will be a good opportunity for him to make contributions!
Xiao Wanchou sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Over there with the Sixth Prince..."
With that said, Xiao Wanchou began to analyze the current situation with his son.
The conflict between Yunzheng and Wei Wenzhong is almost irreconcilable.
He also suspected that Wei Wenzhong had turned to Prince Yunli and wanted to kill Yun Zheng.
But this matter involved the current prince, and he didn't dare to say anything without evidence.
Now, with the help of Mr. Leng, Yunzheng is at home in Shuobei.
After so many victories, Yun Zheng's prestige in the Beifu army has been accumulated.
However, Wei Wenzhong's prestige among the Beifu Army dropped sharply.
When two tigers fight, one will be hurt!
If Yun Zheng had the intention of trying to persuade him, most of the Beifu Army would probably fall to him.
And Beilu Pass is the top priority of Shuobei's defense line.
If Yunzheng wants to control the Beifu Army, he must capture Beilu Pass!
Mr. Leng's confidant showed that Xiao Dingwu probably couldn't defend Beilu Pass!
Once Beilu Pass is lost, Xiao Dingwu may be executed!
Instead of doing this, it is better not to take a trip into this muddy water and take a look at the situation in Shuobei first.
At his age, he doesn't want someone with gray hair to give away someone with black hair.
"No way?"
Xiao Dingwu looked at his father in astonishment, "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, has always been honest and honest, how could it be possible..."
"No matter how honest a person is, his life is on the line, why should he still be slaughtered by others?" Xiao Wanchou glared at his son, "Besides, His Highness the Sixth Prince is not as honest as you think!"
