Chapter 654 Preparing to Withdraw Troops

When he received the message from Jiayao, Yunzheng was checking the battle report sent by Duguce.

Ga Yao's reply was simple.

Only two words.

Take the order!

Moreover, it is not secret writing.

It's just two words, there's no need to write them in secret.

Yun Zheng put aside the news from Jia Yao and continued to check Dugu Ce's battle report.

Yuan Wei, the second prince of Qiu Chi, led the defenders of Tianqiong Pass to abandon the pass and escape.

Currently, Zuo Ren has led his army to Tianqiong Pass.

But the results of Dugu Ce's pursuit of Lou Yi were not very good.

Although the Eighteen Ghost Riders successfully provoked a dispute between Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom's troops, they did not cause widespread chaos and only caused the enemy to lose more than 3,000 people.

When Dugu Ce led his army to pursue him, Lou Yi had already led his troops to retreat near the border of Dayue Kingdom.

After Dugu Ce led his army to charge and kill, he killed 2,000 enemies and captured more than 4,000 people.

Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom's large army were brought back to Dayue Kingdom by Lou Yi.

Duguce was worried about the problem of food and fodder, so he stopped pursuing and escorted the prisoners to Tianqiong Pass.

The back of Qiuchi was empty. Wherever their army passed, every city watched the wind and fell.

Dugu Ce collected a lot of grain, grass and gold and silver treasures from various cities in Qiuchi, and was heading to Tianqiong Pass, where he planned to meet Zuo Ren and others, allowing the soldiers to rest while waiting for Yun Zheng's next order.

Looking at Dugu Ce's battle report, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown secretly.

Qiu Chi is acting like this, why don't you surrender?

He also wanted to force Qiu Chi to surrender as soon as possible, so that their army could quickly reach the border between Qiu Chi and the Moxi tribes, threaten the rear of the Moxi tribes, and thus reduce the pressure on the garrison in the northwest of Daqian.

Now, he is leading the army outside, and he doesn't know whether the imperial court and the tribes in Moxi are at war.

If Qiu Chi does not surrender, Yufeng City will lie on their food road.

If they march directly to the border between Qiuchi and the Moxi tribes, Qiuchi will threaten their food routes.

If you want to march troops to the borders of Qiu Chi and Moxi tribes, you still have to remove the nail in Yufeng City!

Yunzheng thought silently and immediately started writing a letter to Duguce.

Yun Zheng asked Dugu Ce to leave a small number of troops to guard Tianqiong Pass, lead the main force to surround Yufeng City, cut off the water source of Yufeng City, and then surround them with three towers and one, and do not attack Yufeng City by force.

At the same time, you can send someone to shout to the defenders of Yufeng City: Those who surrender to Kaicheng City will be heavily rewarded! Whoever kills Yuan Shu will be rewarded heavily!

Qiu Chi is now at the end of his rope. It is only a matter of time before Qiu Chi will destroy the country.

Attacking Yufeng City by force will only increase unnecessary casualties.

Let them cause chaos within!

Anyway, even if they occupy Qiuchi, they still have to support new agents.

If someone opens the city and surrenders or kills Yuan Su, he doesn't mind supporting him as his agent.

"Give this letter to Duguce as quickly as possible!"

Yun Zheng handed over the autographed letter to the messenger, and immediately handed over a command arrow to the messenger, "Command Fu Tianyan to immediately evacuate from the Sole River Plains, move closer to the rear of our army, and send 5,000 people to garrison Tianqiong Pass at night and under the stars! Command Zu Lu, come as quickly as possible to see me!"

"Yes!"

After they took the order and left, Yunzheng immediately ordered his personal guards, "Immediately take a few people and rush to the Yanhuishan camp and ask if there is any news from the imperial city! If there is, come and report immediately ! No, if there is any news, send it to Tianqiong Pass first, and then report it to the king!"

After explaining the matter, Yunzheng went to check the status of the royal weapon.

Wang Qi is still in a coma and has a high fever.

He didn't know now whether Wang Qi had a high fever because he was too weak, or whether the wound was infected.

Miaoyin has already made some decoction for Wang Qi to take, but as of now, Wang Qi's fever has not subsided.

When Yunzheng walked into the camp, Miaoyin was also checking the status of the royal weapon.

"how?"

Yunzheng asked worriedly.

"As I said before, let's look at his destiny!"

Miaoyin stood up helplessly, "If he can reduce his fever, he should be able to survive."

She has done everything she can.

Now all we have to look at is Wang Qi’s will to survive.

"All right!"

Yun Zheng sighed softly, "Come on, come with me for a walk outside."

Miaoyin nodded slightly and asked again: "Have you visited Tuojing?"

Tuo Jing has woken up.

However, the body is still very weak.

"not yet!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Let him take it easy first! If I talk to him now, if he gets angry to death, it will be a waste of my saliva!"

Miaoyin was surprised, then smiled and said, "That's right! If you ask for conditions, even a living person wouldn't be angry to death, let alone a half-dead person like him."

She knew Yun Zheng too well.

Guifang is now at the end of his rope.

As long as Yunzheng opens his mouth, he will definitely open his mouth like a lion.

Tuo Jing is in such a desperate state that it is really not suitable to talk about this.

The two came outside.

It was already dusk.

As a gust of wind blew, both of them felt a little cooler.

Yunzheng tightened his clothes slightly, "It seems that winter is coming soon!"

"It's almost almost there!"

Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled, "The cold winter in the north will definitely come earlier."

"Yes!"

Yun Zheng smiled to himself, "When Yu Shizhong and others come back with more prisoners, we should withdraw our troops."

Although they have defeated the Three Kingdoms Alliance, it is definitely impossible to continue the fight.

This side is further north than Shuobei.

The winter here will be even colder.

He spent almost the whole winter fighting last year, and he didn't want to fight again this year.

With such a long distance, supplies are a huge problem.

If the matter is settled as soon as possible, their large troops can withdraw with the prisoners as soon as possible.

Winter in Shuobei is the time when a large number of prisoners are needed!

"We're going to withdraw our troops now?"

Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng in surprise, "Aren't you going to fight Dayue Kingdom?"

This is somewhat beyond Miaoyin’s expectations!

Lou Yi was the culprit who started this fight, and even asked Yunzheng to make a wedding dress for him.

Now, Qiu Chi and Guifang no longer pose a threat at all.

Yunzheng stopped attacking Dayue Kingdom?

Didn't he just want Lou Yi's life?

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly, "Lou Yi has already withdrawn to the Dayue Kingdom with the remaining defeated generals. Winter is approaching, and it will be detrimental to us if we continue to fight! Moreover, we have many things to do now, and we can't take care of the Dayue Kingdom for the time being."

"After this battle, the alliance between Qiu Chi, Dayue and Guifang has completely collapsed!"

"I plan to make them dog eat dog first. After we withdraw our troops, we will reorganize more servant troops. After next spring, we will use the servant troops as the main force to launch an attack on Dayue Kingdom!"

They now have many prisoners.

After preparing these prisoners, they became a large army of servants.

There are also some things that can be left to the agents he supports.

This can both test the loyalty of agents and minimize their own losses.

Dayue Kingdom, he must be destroyed!

However, it also depends on the time...
