Chapter 489 The Long March

Yunzheng and the others were marching very slowly.

There is no other way. Even if there are a large number of mules and horses to help transport the grain, it is really not possible to get up quickly.

Moreover, the territory of Beihuan became more and more undulating the further north it went.

Fortunately, these rolling hills are not connected together.

Otherwise, they would be in trouble if they wanted to escort the grain and grass.

However, slow marching is not entirely a bad thing.

They can travel farther in batches to herd horses.

In this way, the consumption of forage can be greatly reduced, and it can also give the enemy an opportunity to attack them.

But the two sides are still too far apart now, and it is unlikely that the enemy will attack.

They can only be more vigilant and beware of enemy attacks.

During the march, a fast horse came quickly to report.

"Your Majesty, we encountered Beihuan's spies fifteen miles ahead. We only had a face-to-face encounter and no harm was done..."

"Keep exploring!"

"Yes!"

The scout took the order and left.

It is normal for spies from both sides to meet each other but not to fight.

Watching the scouts leave, Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "It seems that Jia Yao has begun to actively prepare for war!"

Miaoyin was speechless, "If they don't actively prepare for war, are they waiting for you to kill all their people?"

"They can choose to surrender!"

Yunzheng said with a smile.

surrender?

Miaoyin scolded: "Have you given them a chance to sue for peace? Their envoys have been detained by you."

"What do they call peace?"

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly, "That's called a delaying tactic! When they calm down, they will jump up and barge at us again!"

To seek peace, you must have an attitude of seeking peace!

Holding a knife in her hand and shouting about peace talks, she always wanted to use peace talks to get a chance to breathe. Only a devil would be willing to negotiate with her!

"Then what is true peace?"

Miaoyin asked with interest.

Yun Zheng said calmly: "First send Beihuan's little brat Shanyu to Daqian as a hostage to show your sincerity in the peace talks! Let's talk later!"

"..."

Listening to Yunzheng's words, Miaoyin couldn't help but become speechless.

What he thought was beautiful!

Jiayao, the princess of the prison country, will definitely not agree!

Got it!

It seems that this battle really has to be fought until Beihuan surrenders and admits defeat!

After chatting with Miaoyin for a while, Yun Zheng ordered someone to call Yu Shizhong to ask: "How far are we from the Modong Corridor?"

Yu Shizhong replied: "It should be about four hundred miles away."

Four hundred miles?

So damn far.

It's been so many days.

Is it still so far away?

Yun Zheng silently complained in his heart, and then ordered Yu Shizhong: "About three hundred miles further, you personally lead the army to survey the terrain and find a suitable place for a large camp to store food and grass. It does not have to be in the direction of our march, left or right. A little bit is fine.”

Gayao, Gayao!

You always think of not sending people to take care of our food and grass, which makes it impossible for this king's drama to continue.

"Yes!"

Yu Shizhong accepted the order and said: "Your Highness, I have a question."

"Say it!"

Yunzheng smiled.

It's good to have questions.

Questions indicate that he is using his brain.

"Why does Your Highness want to wear the handsome flag?"

Yu Shizhong said in confusion: "Beihuan is scared of being beaten by His Highness. Your Highness is flying the flag of commander. I guess that Beihuan will not dare to attack us easily. If this happens, our plan will probably fail." !”

Bei Yu Shizhong's question made everyone around Yunzheng become curious.

What Yu Shizhong said is a problem.

Beihuan must have been frightened by Yunzheng now.

He may not be afraid of him if he directly puts on the handsome flag, but he will definitely be more cautious.

Yun Zheng smiled at Yu Shizhong and asked, "Do you think the handsome flag should be on Lu Xing's side?"

"Ah."

Yu Shizhong nodded and said: "His Royal Highness is on our side. We definitely don't need to worry too much. The general is now worried about problems with the army on the left."

"The handsome flag is the same wherever it is flown."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Jia Yao may have thought that I did it deliberately when the handsome flag was raised here, thinking that I was in another army..."

This thing is really hard to say.

It's not a matter of what they think.

It depends on what Gaoyao thinks.

If Jia Yao is suspicious and thinks that he did it on purpose, maybe he will actually attack the grain camp of their army.

This is a question of who predicted whose prediction, it’s unclear.

Is that so?

Yu Shizhong thought about it carefully and found that this was also the case.

After a while, Yu Shizhong asked expectantly: "Your Highness, is there any way to force the enemy to attack the camp and burn food and grass?"

"What a beautiful idea you have!" Yun Zheng smiled and glared at Yu Shizhong, "You have forced the enemy to attack the camp. Doesn't the enemy know that we will focus on defending the camp where we store food and grass?"

Yu Shizhong smiled sheepishly, "Isn't the general afraid that the enemy will not attack the camp?"

"Look!"

Yunzheng smiled: "The initiative in this matter is not in our hands. We can only make preparations. We cannot expect the enemy to act exactly as we expected!"

"Jia Yao is also a person who likes to take the unconventional path. If you have time, you can think about it. If you were Jia Yao, besides attacking the camp and burning food and grass, is there any better way?"

"And you, too!"

Saying that, Yunzheng looked at Gao Jia, Wang Qi and others again.

Several people nodded one after another and began to think silently.

Not only were they thinking, Yun Zheng was also thinking.

They and Beihuan are actually the top names now.

They knew that Beihuan would heavily defend the Modong Corridor.

Beihuan also knew that they were going to attack in this direction.

Now, they dug a hole for Beihuan.

But Beihuan may not necessarily jump in.

If Beihuan didn't jump in, they would definitely raid the Modong Corridor.

Otherwise, they would have to gather a lot of people and spend a lot of food and fodder to come out for training.

I hope Ghost 18 Riders won’t disappoint themselves!

If the Ghost Eighteen Cavalry can succeed, it will be much easier to fight next.

After pondering for a moment, Yun Zheng looked at Yu Shizhong again, "You reminded me, we have to ask Lu Xing and Qin Qihu to be more careful! Don't let that woman Jia Yao plot against you!"

After saying that, Yun Zheng immediately ordered Yu Shizhong: "Send more people, ride fast horses from the side and rear to the left route army, tell them the situation on our side, and ask the ghost side about the situation on the way!"

"Tell Qin Qihu and the others to be careful not to let the enemy lure them too far!"

"If there are special circumstances, you can choose the opportunity to retreat! After retreating, be sure to send someone to notify us with fast horses!"

He didn't stay there, and there were fewer people on their way, so he was somewhat uneasy.

Being so far away, he didn't know much about the situation there, and it was impossible for him to command the people remotely.

The main reason was that he was afraid of Qin Qihu's violent temper.

If Qin Qihu becomes stubborn, Tong Gang and Lu Xing may not be able to hold him back.

Guifang's current attitude is unclear, which is also an uncertain factor.

"Yes!"

Yu Shizhong immediately took the order and left...
