Chapter 978: Can't Follow Common Sense

Before I knew it, a few days had passed.

Because they were inside the main camp, Yun Zheng and his men did not suffer many non-combat casualties.

Yun Zheng had no news about the northern barbarians, and the same was true for Jia Yao.

It was as if the northern barbarians would never launch a large-scale attack.

But the more this happened, the weirder Yun Zheng felt.

The northern barbarians would not make a feint and use this to consume their food supplies, right?

Yun Zheng pondered for a while in the tent, then stood up and walked outside.

Yesterday, heavy snow fell here again.

Until now, there are still snowflakes floating in the sky.

The soldiers in the camp were shoveling away the snow, which was just enough to pile up on the snow wall.

Clean snow can be put directly into a pot to boil water, saving the trouble of chiseling ice to get water.

Just when Yun Zheng was about to do two sets of "Mad Dog Fist" to stretch his muscles, Yu Shizhong suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Your Highness, there's news from Madam Jiayao!"

"Oh?"

Yun Zheng immediately put aside the idea of ​​stretching his muscles and quickly took the note handed to him by Yu Shizhong.

Looking at the contents of the note, Yun Zheng's face couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"You can take a look too!"

Yun Zheng handed the note to Yu Shizhong.

Yu Shizhong looked at Yun Zheng in confusion, then immediately took it and looked at it.

As he watched, Yu Shizhong's face twitched constantly.

An army of about 70,000 to 80,000 from the northern barbarians broke out of the primeval forest in the north of Beihuan yesterday and headed straight for the Qinlin grassland. Jia Yao urgently asked Yun Zheng for help.

"This……"

Yu Shizhong was speechless for a long time. After a long pause, he said to Yun Zheng with a smile: "Your Highness, fighting against the northern barbarians seems... not to be done according to common sense?"

They all felt that the northern barbarians would not hide in that primeval forest.

However, the northern barbarians are hiding there!

They had previously analyzed it this way and that way.

At the end of the day, all that analysis is bullshit.

The northern barbarians attacked directly using the simplest and most brutal method!

At this moment, all their analysis of the northern barbarians became a joke.

“I don’t know if those barbarians are stubborn or if they have predicted our prediction.”

Yun Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's prepare to rush to Jia Yao's aid!"

Who the hell said that routines have always won people's hearts?

The northern barbarians have already mastered the highest level of routine.

Is having no routine the best routine?

"Should we leave some troops to guard our camp?"

Yu Shizhong said: "In this way, if there are other northern barbarians coming from the direction we predicted before, we can also be in time..."

"You are the head coach, you decide!"

Yun Zheng interrupted Yu Shizhong.

Yu Shizhong looked at Yun Zheng with a look of confusion, and said tentatively: "Then I will order Wang Qi's troops and Bei Mo Tuo's troops to stay in the camp!"

After all, Wang Qi's troops are heavy infantry.

They rushed to Jia Yao's aid, but the infantrymen could not keep up with the marching speed.

It would be better to let them stay in the camp to ensure the safety of the camp.

"can!"

Yunzheng nodded and smiled.

"Then let's arrange it right away!"

Yu Shizhong left immediately.

Looking at Yu Shizhong's back, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile sadly.

Damn it!

Just as Yu Shizhong said, fighting against these barbarians cannot be handled with common sense.

If Jia Yao had known that the northern barbarians would be so stubborn, he would have directly sent people to set traps in that primeval forest and lure the barbarian army into the trap. Why go through so much trouble when something could be solved with a fire?

So don't think that anything is impossible on this battlefield.

Some people are just stubborn, what can you do?

……

Jia Yao’s camp.

At this moment, Jia Yao was also full of regret.

Cleverness is misled by cleverness!

The northern barbarians taught her a severe lesson!

A war that should have been simple was made too complicated by them.

The northern barbarians did divide and hide their troops.

Otherwise, the actions of so many people could not have avoided detection by their personnel.

Unfortunately, the northern barbarians hid in the place she thought was the most unlikely.

It's too late to regret now.

Fortunately, they had already withdrawn the tribes in the north.

Even if the northern barbarians attacked, as long as they held their defense line, they would not be able to cause much harm to the people of Beihuan.

"Keep a close eye on the northern barbarian army and report their movements at any time."

Jiayao gave Hutulu a message and ordered Guge: "Immediately lead 10,000 troops to the Baru tribe northwest of the royal court to garrison and beware of the northern barbarians suddenly changing direction and attacking the royal court!"

Gu Ge did not immediately accept the order, but looked at Jia Yao with some concern, "If I take another 10,000 troops with me, the princess will only have 20,000 troops."

"Aren't there Yun Zheng and the others?"

Jia Yao smiled indifferently, "In a few days, Yun Zheng can lead at least 20,000 troops to support us! If our 40,000 troops are still unable to deal with these barbarians, Yun Zheng and I can both find a rope to hang ourselves."

If the northern barbarians had an army of hundreds of thousands, she would definitely be afraid.

But with only 70,000 or 80,000 troops, she really had nothing to be afraid of.

Gu Ge was still worried and said, "But what if Yun Zheng..."

"Nothing will happen."

Jia Yao interrupted Gu Ge, his face suddenly becoming serious: "Remember, Yun Zheng is not our enemy now, but our ally! He is also our most reliable ally! In this matter, I don't want you to doubt him!"

Jia Yao spoke very seriously.

She had to be serious too.

There are some things she can say but Gu Ge can't!

Yun Zheng was already very dissatisfied with her confrontational attitude. If some of Gu Ge's words reached Yun Zheng's ears, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, Guge's attitude towards Yun Zheng is likely to affect other soldiers.

If someone gets carried away and has inappropriate thoughts about Yun Zheng, it may very likely bring disaster to Beihuan.

"Yes!"

Gu Ge lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

"Okay, go and recruit the troops!"

Jia Yao waved gently.

Guge accepted the order and bowed to take his leave.

Looking at Guge's back, Jia Yao couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

I don’t know whether Guge would think that he has forgotten the national hatred and family feuds and has been blinded by his children’s love.

I hope Guge can figure it out!

"Princess, will Yun Zheng really come to your aid in time?"

At this time, Hutulu asked again cautiously.

"He will definitely do it!"

Jia Yao said firmly, "Also, if you meet Yun Zheng, you should call him Prince or His Highness, and never call him by his name, lest Yun Zheng makes an example of you."

"Yes!"

Hutulu nodded heavily.

"Okay, go and do your thing!"

Jia Yao gently waved her hand, "Don't worry, the Northern Barbarians can't cause any big waves with just these few troops! Compared to the Northern Barbarians, the weather right now is the most terrifying!"

Hutulu nodded, bowed and took his leave.

After watching Hutulu leave, Jiayao sat down again in the tent.

"Ugh……"

After a long while, Jia Yao sighed heavily again...
