Chapter 437 Delay strategy

Although Fang Yunshi was dissatisfied with Yunzheng's attitude, he did not dare to make any mistakes.

After trying hard to calm down, Fang Yunshi said: "Hujie Dashanyu intends to make peace with Daqian and marry Princess Gayao to the prince. He hopes that Daqian and Beihuan can stop their attacks and get back together... …”

With that said, Fang Yunshi sent someone to deliver the marriage certificate again.

Yunzheng asked someone to take it over.

Yun Zheng opened it and took a look, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin came slightly closer, with surprise on their faces.

It’s really a marriage certificate!

This is a serious marriage document, which is much more reliable than what Jia Yao said verbally.

Is Hu Jie really planning to get married to Da Gan?

Want to get married in exchange for peace?

Or do you want to use the tactics used against Boluan on Yunzheng?

The latter should be more likely, right?

After all, it can be said that Beihuan was beaten like this because of Yunzheng.

If Hu Jie doesn’t want Yunzheng’s life, then there’s something wrong with him!

Yunzheng put away the marriage certificate and said with a smile: "Since Hujie Shanyu has sent all the marriage certificates, I will reluctantly accept it! By the way, you go back and ask Hujie to send Gayao over first, so that I can send someone back. The imperial city asks the father for a decree!"

"Your Majesty, you can send someone back to the imperial city to request an order."

Fang Yunshi smiled and said: "I know that Daqian pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. If it is inconvenient for Emperor Daqian to come to Shuobei, he can send his envoy to Shuobei to discuss the marriage between the prince and Jia Yao!"

"also!"

Yunzheng nodded slightly, "By the way, did your Shanyu say what dowry you want to give to Gayao?"

"Of course there is a dowry."

Fang Yunshi replied: "However, these will have to be discussed later when the marriage is agreed upon."

"Is that so?"

Yun Zheng frowned slightly, "Why do I feel that you are lying to me?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Fang Yunshi shook his head quickly, "There is also a letter from Princess Gayao to the prince, please read it."

With that said, Fang Yunshi took out another letter and asked the people accompanying him to deliver it.

Soon, Yunzheng got the letter.

Judging from the handwriting, it should indeed be Gaoyao's handwriting.

The content of Gayao's letter is also very simple.

She was willing to marry and tried her best to persuade her father to let Beihuan's troops retreat to more than 500 miles.

But Jia Yao also had a condition, hoping that Yun Zheng could return half of the sweet potatoes to her.

She was born as a girl, so she was destined not to be Beihuan's great chanyu.

She just wanted to free the tribes of Beihuan from famine. As long as Beihuan was not short of food and as long as they could survive, they were actually unwilling to fight against Daqian.

What Jiayao said in the letter was so sincere that Yunzheng almost believed it.

After reading the letter, Yunzheng deliberately looked surprised, and immediately said to Fang Yunshi: "Go back and tell Jia Yao that in three days, I want to meet her again at Bailang Lake to discuss some specific matters! Call her It’s best not to play tricks!”

"it is good."

Fang Yunshi agreed immediately.

"Is there anything else?"

Yun Zheng said: "If nothing happens, you can leave!"

"Then I'll say goodbye first!"

After that, Fang Yunshi simply saluted Yunzheng and left with his entourage.

"Okay, let's all disperse!"

Yun Zheng waved to the people who looked at him in confusion, and then called several main generals in the camp to discuss matters.

Soon, everyone arrived at the briefly repaired meeting hall.

Yun Zheng was not stingy and directly showed Jia Yao's letter to everyone.

"seriously?"

"Retreat five hundred miles?"

"Gayao has not forgotten the sweet potato at this time. It seems that the sweet potato is very important to them!"

"My lord, is this a scam?"

Everyone was talking a lot, feeling surprised and feeling that Ga Yao was a bit too generous.

"There must be a scam!"

Yun Zheng looked at everyone with a smile: "They probably just want to hold us back!"

"Huh?" Shen Luoyan frowned slightly, "You mean, Boluan may have summoned his old troops, and they want to hold us back and get rid of Boluan as soon as possible?"

If Jia Yao and Hu Jie want to hold them back, it seems that this is the only purpose.

"Bo Luan may not have summoned enough old troops, but they may have noticed Boluan's actions!"

Yunzheng nodded and said: "It should be easy for them to deal with Boluan now, but the premise is that we don't send troops to help Boluan!"

"As long as they hold us back, they can quickly get rid of Boluan and quell the civil strife!"

"Jia Yao was just afraid that I would be suspicious, so she deliberately asked me to return half of the sweet potato to her!"

"She wanted me to think it was a deal, not a conspiracy..."

Listening to Yunzheng's analysis, everyone couldn't help but nodded slightly.

If Boluan succeeds, Gayao and Hu Jie may really do this.

It can even be said that it is necessary to do this!

"So, you are also lying to them when you say that Yuga Yao will meet at White Wolf Lake three days later?"

Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled.

She really thought that Yun Zheng was going to negotiate with Yun Zheng in private!

She originally wanted to persuade Yun Zheng to be careful of his enemies' deception later.

Now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

"You must have lied to them!"

Yun Zheng smiled and immediately asked Dugu Ce, "How long can the dry food we have obtained in the past few days sustain 20,000 cavalry?"

"Ten days at most!" Dugu Ce replied.

Ten days?

That's almost enough!

Yunzheng pondered for a moment and then asked: "How long will it take for the grain and fodder escorted by the 20,000 cavalry behind to arrive?"

"About two days!"

Duguce replied.

Yunzheng thought for a moment and immediately ordered Dugu Ce: "Send someone to give them an order to speed up the delivery of grain and grass. It must be delivered before noon tomorrow! Don't feel bad about the cattle and horses. They are gone. Let's go to Beihuan to grab them!"

"Yes!"

Duguce accepted the order and asked tentatively: "My lord, do you plan to send troops tomorrow?"

"Correct!"

Yun Zheng nodded and said: "We must send troops as soon as possible, otherwise, Boluan is likely to be wiped out quickly!"

The combat power of the people Boluan summoned at short notice should be very limited.

They must send troops to help Boluan defeat Hu Jie's army first, so that Boluan can have a chance to regain his strength.

It was rare that someone from Beihuan took the initiative to seek cooperation with them.

If Boluan is killed, their subsequent plans will be difficult to implement.

Dugu Ce pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "Now this is all the prince's conjecture. We haven't got the exact information yet. How about we wait until we get the exact information before sending troops?"

Listening to Dugu Ce's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Yunzheng's idea is good.

But all this is based on the premise that Boluan has summoned enough old troops to go to war with Hu Jie.

If Yun Zheng's judgment is wrong and they rush to send troops, they may fall into the enemy's trick.

Even though they now have an advantage over Beihuan, they still have to be cautious when it's time to be cautious.

Although Beihuan is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, it is not without the strength to fight again.

The outcome of a major war is likely to affect the future situation.

"I know!"

Yun Zheng nodded and said: "That's my only idea now. Let's prepare our troops first and see the specific situation tomorrow! Okay, let's all go down and get busy!"

If he didn't want to wait and see if the Eighteen Ghost Cavalry brought back any definite news, he would have wanted to send troops now!

This should be done sooner rather than later!

After a brief explanation, Yunzheng led the people to the tributary of Baishui River.

Qin Qihu came back last night and reported that there was no suitable place to cross the river over there.

There are narrow places, but the terrain is not good. Even if we can barely cross by building a bridge, it will take a long time just to gather. It is better to go around under the tributary.

It would be strange if we go around that way without being discovered by the enemy.

But where the water flow and terrain are gentler and wider, the day lilies will be cold by the time the bridge is erected.

He had to go and see for himself to see if he could find a suitable place to cross the river...
