Chapter 375 Old acquaintance?

After successfully conquering the morale of the Dingbei defenders, Yunzheng led his men to Beiluguan without stopping.

As for Ma Yi, leave it to Fu Tianyan!

Although Yuan Lie was Wei Wenzhong's confidant and led nine thousand elite soldiers to guard Mayi, there were still tens of thousands of old and weak field soldiers in Mayi!

Those old and weak Tian soldiers are all Yunzheng's people.

If he still can't win Mayi, Fu Tianyan will be useless.

Speaking of Yuan Lie, Yunzheng curiously asked Dugu Ce: "By the way, are Yuan Lie really related to Wei Wenzhong?"

"No."

Dugu Ce shook his head and said: "However, Yuan Lie can be regarded as Wei Wenzhong's half-adopted son!"

Yuan Lie's father was once the commander of Wei Wenzhong's soldiers, but he died in the Shuobei War six years ago.

Later, Wei Wenzhong asked someone to bring Yuan Lie to Shuobei and train him.

Although Wei Wenzhong did not officially recognize Yuan Lie as his adopted son, he treated Yuan Lie as if he were his adopted son.

It was also with Wei Wenzhong's support that Yuan Lie was able to be promoted quickly.

However, Yuan Lie is also an arrogant person and does not want people to think that he relied on Wei Wenzhong's relationship to be promoted quickly, so Yuan Lie rarely mentions his relationship with Wei Wenzhong to others.

Wei Wenzhong did not want people to think that he was nepotistic, and rarely mentioned their relationship to the outside world.

It was precisely because of their lack of understanding that there were rumors in the army that Yuan Lie was related to Wei Wenzhong.

Speaking of relatives, Yuan Lie is really related to Yuan Cong, the current guard of Beilu Pass.

Yuan Lie and Yuan Cong are both from the Yuan family in Longnan.

The Yuan family in Longnan was also a famous wealthy family in Daqian.

However, Yuan Lie's family's status in the Yuan family in Longnan was not high, and it was completely incomparable to Yuan Cong's family.

"Yuan Cong..."

Speaking of Yuan Cong, Yun Zheng couldn't help but think of Yuan Cong's stupid son Yuan Gui.

I don’t know if Yuan Gui followed him to Beiluguan.

It would be really lively if Yuan Gui came too.

"Why is the prince laughing?"

Dugu Ce asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of an old friend."

Yun Zheng laughed and told Dugu Ce about his past relationship with Yuan Gui.

Listening to Yunzheng's words, Dugu Ce couldn't help laughing.

No wonder Yunzheng is laughing!

It turns out that he and Yuan Cong’s son still have this history!

After laughing, Dugu Ce asked again: "Then the Holy One sent Yuan Cong to Beilu Pass, did he mean to be wary of the prince?"

"It should be more or less!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "However, it's already this time, so it doesn't matter! Anyway, as long as Xiao Dingwu doesn't guard Beilu Pass!"

If the defender of Beilu Pass is still Xiao Dingwu, it will indeed be a bit troublesome.

If they seize control of Beiluguan, Xiao Dingwu will definitely be in trouble.

He has always had a good relationship with Xiao Wanchou and his son, and he doesn't want to harm the Xiao family because of this matter.

But now that it's Yuan Cong, it doesn't matter.

Even if his father wants to give the Yuan family a nine-community entertainment, he doesn't care.

Anyway, Yuan Cong is a member of Yun Li's party, and they have long been incompatible with each other!

While the two were walking and talking, a group of people suddenly emerged from the woods not far away.

Judging by their attire, they looked like bandits.

Seeing that this group of people came with bad intentions, the cavalry beside Yunzheng and the others immediately protected the two of them. Everyone bent their bows and prepared arrows, ready to attack.

The leading bandit stepped forward carelessly, "I drove this mountain, and this road is...well..."

Before he finished speaking, the leading bandit was suddenly stunned.

After coming back to his senses, the man quickly dropped his weapon and hurried forward to salute: "See you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this man's actions, the group of bandits behind him also quickly stepped forward to salute.

"See you, my lord!"

Everyone saluted in unison, making Dugu Ce and the accompanying cavalry a little confused.

Are these also Yunzheng's people?

"Okay, no need to be polite!"

Yun Zheng rode out and looked at everyone with a smile on his face, "Where is Du Guiyuan?"

The leader quickly replied: "Reporting to the prince, Commander Du ordered us to cut off the connection between Beilu Pass and Dingbei. He personally led 800 people to sneak into Beilu Pass..."

"very good!"

Yunzheng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "When did you come here?"

"Five days ago!"

"During this period, will there be messenger troops from Dingbei and Mayi passing through?"

"Yes, but we have detained them all!"

Have you taken them all down?

A satisfied smile appeared on Yunzheng's face.

Just buckle it down!

As long as the communication channel between Beilu Pass and other cities is cut off, the people in Beilu Pass will not know that Wei Wenzhong is besieged in Tianhu, and they will not be wary of them.

Now that Du Guiyuan has led people into Beiluguan again, the next thing will be easier to handle.

Yun Zheng was determined and waved his hand: "Okay, then you continue to act as planned! After the operation is completed, I will send someone to inform you!"

"Yes!"

Everyone followed the order, picked up the weapons thrown on the ground, and quickly retreated into the woods.

It wasn't until everyone disappeared that Dugu Ce and others came to their senses in a daze.

"My lord, is this the person you arranged in advance?"

Dugu Ce looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment, somewhat unbelievable.

There are people named Yunzheng in Tianhu.

The tens of thousands of old and weak field soldiers in Mayi were also Yunzheng's people.

Now, Yun Zheng's people are ambushing them even near the main road leading to Beiluguan?

Yunzheng has made so many arrangements in advance!

"These are all members of the Blood Clothes Army trained by Du Guiyuan."

Yunzheng smiled and said: "Before I broke out from Gubian, I wrote a letter and gave it to Luoyan. As long as you successfully break out from Gubian, I will send that letter out as soon as possible..."

Now that we have decided to take action against Wei Wenzhong, we must make some arrangements in advance!

Beiluguan is not like any other city in Shuobei.

Beilu Pass is backed by the pass, and supplies can be obtained from the pass. If the defenders of Beilu Pass are wary, even if they lead an army of 100,000, it may be difficult to capture Beilu Pass.

Therefore, he asked Du Guiyuan to lead the blood-coated army and rush here as quickly as possible. It was necessary to cut off the connection between Beilu Pass and other places and not let news from other cities reach Beilu Pass.

If you want to take Beilu Pass, you must take it by surprise.

Moreover, if they want to avoid internal friction, they must also capture Beiluguan.

Otherwise, once Beilu Pass opens its gates and lets the imperial army enter Beilu Pass, Yunzheng will have no choice but to go to war with the imperial court in order to protect himself.

That was a situation none of them wanted to see.

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Dugu Ce couldn't help but admire him: "My lord, I will admire you for your foresight!"

At this moment, Dugu Ce finally felt relieved.

What he was most worried about before was Beiluguan.

Now, with Yunzheng's arrangement, it shouldn't be difficult to capture Beiluguan.

"Let's go!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Let's settle the matter at Beilu Pass first, and then we can slowly settle the accounts with Wei Wenzhong!"

"Ok!"

Dugu Ce nodded heavily, "I hope the prince's people can catch the traitor Wei Wenzhong as soon as possible!"

So many people have died innocently, and the traitor Wei Wenzhong must not be allowed to escape!
