Chapter 439 Send troops again

Late at night, Yun Zheng was woken up by Yu Shizhong.

"Your Highness, Youba and Youjiu are back!"

Yu Shizhong's voice sounded outside the door.

Youba, Youjiu?

Yun Zheng sat up suddenly, put on his shoes haphazardly, took the clothes Shen Luoyan handed over, put them on, and quickly went out.

Soon, Yunzheng saw Youba and Youjiu.

Before the two of them could salute, Yun Zheng hurriedly asked: "Is this the news from Boluan?"

"Not just news about Boluan!"

Youba replied: "There are also the movements of Beihuan Great Chanyu..."

"Say it!"

Yunzheng urged impatiently.

It’ll be good to come back with news!

I'm afraid there's no news, so I'm just relying on my own random guesses.

You Ba knew that Yun Zheng was anxious and immediately told them the news they had received.

Boluan has summoned 20,000 old troops.

However, it’s hard to say in terms of combat power.

Just because among the 20,000 old troops, there are probably less than 5,000 people who can truly be called elite.

The rest are basically people from various tribes.

There are even some people in their fifties inside.

People from several tribes around the Chahe Department, as long as they can ride a horse and hold a sword, are almost all included.

In the short term, 20,000 people should be Boluan's limit.

The reason is simply because after Hu Jie plotted against Boluan, many tribes belonging to Boluan were dispersed into tribes belonging to Hu Jie and King Daming.

If Boluan hadn't returned quickly, he probably wouldn't have been able to gather even 10,000 people!

Boluan really couldn't summon the number of people Yun Zheng requested, so he could only ask them to come back to help intercede.

Boluan is now leading his troops from the Langya Pass to the Muma Grassland along the north side of the Baishui River, hoping to join the Beifu Army troops guarding the border.

To put it bluntly, Boluan also knew the combat strength of his 20,000 people.

His move was simply to seek the protection of the Beifu Army.

And Hu Jie is now gathering troops at Yanhui Mountain, with the intention of completely annihilating Boluan.

After figuring out the situation, Yun Zheng couldn't help but look depressed.

He also said before that Boluan could summon 30,000 to 50,000 old troops if he died!

As a result, this guy only gathered 20,000 people!

This guy was so bragging before that he summoned 100,000 old men when he opened his mouth!

Now, this guy realizes the reality!

Live it!

Tell him not to cooperate with me earlier!

Yun Zheng complained secretly in his heart and asked You Ba and You Jiu to go down to rest first.

Just as he was about to go back to his room, Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin also got dressed and walked out.

"Any news?"

Shen Luoyan asked with burning eyes.

"Ok!"

Yun Zheng nodded lightly, "It's not good news, it's not bad news either!"

With that said, Yunzheng asked the two women and Yu Shizhong to follow him into the house, and quickly took out the simple map that Du Guiyuan and the others drew when they went to the Muma Grassland.

Soon, Yunzheng locked the location of Yanhui Mountain on the map.

Yanhui Mountain is at the end of the tributary of Baishui River.

If they wanted to go around to the Muma Grassland from there, Yanhui Mountain would definitely be a hurdle they couldn't get around.

Instead, we can cooperate with Boluan's troops to attack the Huji Camp near Yanhui Mountain.

However, I'm afraid this time may be a little long.

What a pain in the ass it would be if Boluan was killed by the troops sent by Hu Jie before he could attack Yan Hui Mountain!

Yun Zheng frowned and told Shen Luoyan and Yu Shizhong of his concerns.

Shen Luoyan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is it okay to divide the troops?"

"How to divide the troops?"

Yun Zheng frowned and said: "There is no ideal crossing point on the tributary! Even if there is a suitable place to cross the river downstream, with so many of us crossing the river, there is almost a 100% chance that we will be discovered by enemy spies!"

"Force the river!"

Shen Luoyan said in a deep voice: "The place you saw yesterday, where the water flow and terrain are relatively gentle, is less than ten feet wide. At worst, we can forcefully cross the water..."

Forced to cross the river?

Yunzheng frowned and thought.

That place should be where the Beihuan cavalry crossed the river in winter.

The terrain there is gentle, suitable for large-scale cavalry to cross the river.

But now that the Baishui River has thawed, it is no longer suitable to cross the river there. It is too late to build a bridge.

If we have to cross the river by force, it's not impossible.

War horses can also swim, but they can't swim very far.

It's less than fifty meters away and can be easily swam across.

However, although the weather seemed to be getting warmer this day, the river was still very cold.

That’s the melted snow water from the snowy mountains!

Very biting!

If we force ourselves to cross the river, many people will probably get sick, right?

There are too many patients in the team, what a fight!

The most important thing is that most of the soldiers in the Beifu Army are northern soldiers.

Lots of landlubbers!

It is not practical to let horses carry cavalry across the river.

Maybe they'll drown thousands of people before the war starts.

Moreover, in addition to a small amount of dried meat, their dry food is basically fried millet or brown rice, and a small amount of steamed and then fried wheat grains.

Once these things are soaked in water, they are basically useless.

If you want to cross a river, you have to cross the river separately.

Ok?

As he was thinking about it, Yun Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking at Yunzheng's expression, Miaoyin couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Have you thought of a way to cross the river?"

"Correct!"

Yunzheng nodded.

"Tell me, what can I do?"

Shen Luoyan looked at Yunzheng expectantly.

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Let me put it out of the way first! The idea of dividing the troops can be realized. Let's continue to discuss the next countermeasures!"

Got it!

You're even selling it off!

Ok!

If you sell it, sell it!

As long as we can cross the river!

"If the problem of crossing the river is solved, we can indeed divide our troops!"

Yu Shizhong immediately said: "Don't we still have 20,000 cavalry who are about to garrison the border? After they rest for a while, they can go straight to the Hujie camp! And our vanguard army can also meet with Boluan's troops first, and then attack together Attack from the direction of Yanhui Mountain!"

Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin thought for a while and nodded immediately.

Yunzheng thought silently, nodded and said: "This plan is feasible, but I can't trust Boluan!"

No one can tell how powerful the 20,000 people Boluan had summoned at this time were.

Moreover, it is hard to say what the military morale of these 20,000 people is.

It would be very painful if those people summoned by Boluan turned against them when they learned that Boluan was cooperating with them.

Knowing Yun Zheng's concerns, the two women and Yu Shizhong also frowned.

Yu Shizhong thought for a while and then said: "Didn't You Ba say that Boluan has led his troops to move closer to us? His people should know that he is going to cooperate with us, right?"

"That's what I say, but the military morale of the people who were summoned at short notice is hard to say!"

Yun Zheng rubbed his head, "It is estimated that many of these people were forcibly recruited by Bo Luan! In this case, if there is a slight disturbance, it is even possible to blow up the camp, let alone other things..."

"This……"

Yu Shizhong thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case.

This time, several people started thinking again.

For Boluan, they don't have much hope now.

They just hope Boluan won't be wiped out so quickly!

At least let Beihuan be in chaos for a while before talking!

They continue to mobilize troops to the guard, and it is not without cost.

The loss of grain and grass, as well as the loss of mules and horses, must be included in this.

If they didn't get any benefits, they would be at a huge loss.

Yunzheng pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "Let's divide our troops first! Early tomorrow morning, we will first send the vanguard troops into the Muma Grassland and quickly clear out the surrounding tribes to prevent the enemy from discovering our traces!"

"The follow-up army will cross the river to gather as soon as possible, then send people to contact Boluan, and divide the troops into two groups to attack Yanhui Mountain!"

"The 10,000 cavalry were separated from the guard and pressed towards Yanhui Mountain, putting pressure on Hu Jie's command and making him dare not send too many troops to attack Boluan's command!"

"When the 20,000 cavalrymen behind us have rested, we will immediately join up with the other 10,000 cavalrymen and march towards Yanhui Mountain!"

Now, this is the only way to go.

Although Boluan did not meet Yun Zheng's requirements, Boluan still has value.

If Boluan is destroyed, the civil strife in Beihuan will quickly subside.

This situation is obviously not good for them.

The three of them thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Now, this is the only way to go!

It's all because that bastard Boluan didn't listen to Yun Zheng's advice.

If Boluan had cooperated with them earlier, there would be no need for so much trouble!

After having a preliminary plan, Yun Zheng asked Yu Shizhong to send people to inform the generals.

Although the preliminary plan has been decided, the subsequent details still need to be discussed with the generals in the camp.

Who will lead these will be decided tonight.
