"Thank you very much, Commander Yu and Commander Zhang. If the two generals had not brought their troops in time, we would never have been able to surround the escaped bandits." Yun Zhi rode on the horse and faced the two who looked to be in their forties.
, the general wearing the uniform of a third-grade general said with a smile and salute.
The two of them dismounted hurriedly: "I do not deserve His Majesty's courtesy. Besides, I brought the troops here in compliance with His Majesty's orders, and His Majesty needs no thanks."
"You two generals don't have to be like this. Even if you are following His Majesty's orders, His Majesty certainly did not order you to obey Gu's orders. Huainan also appreciates your kindness." Yun Zhi said again.
'If you weren't so favored, His Majesty would even violate etiquette and let you lead the troops, we would definitely not obey your orders.' Both of them thought. But they didn't show any signs of it on their faces and still gave in.
…
After Yunxi heard what happened from Qianhu, the guard of Jinwu who had not left the city to fight, he immediately understood what was going on. Of course he was a little angry at Yunzhi in his heart, but after all, she was his biological sister who he regarded as his daughter.
If you cannot reveal yourself in front of others, you must send people to support you immediately.
At this time, several more soldiers rushed over from the south gate of Lanzhou City, reporting that the right security guards and Huailai guards had passed through Lanzhou City, hoping to rest near the city for a day and then continue their return by rail carriage tomorrow.
Yunxi immediately ordered the two guards to send Qianhu of cavalry to support. The order was passed to the guards. Zhang Lun, the commander of the security right guard, and Huailai, the commander of the Huailai guard, felt a little strange, so they bribed those who passed the order with money.
People know the reason.
Yu Zhen suddenly became excited. Although he made some achievements during his expedition to Yiwu, it was not great. He only received some rewards and failed to achieve his ambition of becoming a knight. But suddenly he got such an important job.
If it is done well and pleases His Majesty, he may not be able to be knighted; even if His Majesty strictly follows the regulations, he cannot be knighted this time, but he will still be registered in front of the emperor, and will be registered in front of the eldest princess of Huainan.
He only had advantages and no disadvantages. Therefore, he immediately ordered Qianhu of cavalry to gather and personally led them to support.
After Zhang Lun learned about this, he personally brought Qianhu cavalry to support him. However, his considerations were different from Yu Ai's. His favorite daughter married Qin Song, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, and it was arranged by his Majesty himself. He had no pursuit in life.
Yes, I don’t seek merit but seek no faults. It’s good to live like this in this life.
But it is precisely because of this that he has to go to support himself this time. Her Highness the Princess of Huainan may be in danger now. Once something happens to Her Highness, a large number of people will be implicated. It doesn't matter if he is implicated, but if someone targets Qin Song, he will be very angry.
I regret it, so I have to come and support myself.
They followed the traces left by the five thousand households of Jinwu's rearguard and saw a group of people wearing bodyguard uniforms, guarded by more than 200 soldiers, observing the valley bottom to the north. They immediately stepped forward to salute Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Yun Zhi was overjoyed when she saw them! She was unwilling because there were too few cavalry to wipe out all the 'bandits', so she saw two cavalrymen coming to support more than 2,000 people from a thousand households. 'Could it be that the emperor brother and I really have a tacit understanding?
?' she couldn't help but think.
Yunzhi immediately sent a total of three cavalrymen to pursue Qianhu, and must wipe out all the 'bandits'. But Yu Ai said: "Your Highness, I think we should continue to use the strategy of surrounding three towers to deal with the bandits."
"The strategy of surrounding three buildings? Or continue? What do you mean?" Yunzhi asked.
Yu Zhenzheng was a little uneasy, worried that Her Highness the Princess would not adopt his suggestion. Hearing this sentence, he was shocked and said: "Your Highness, your Highness previously sent troops to attack the bandits' camp from three sides, leaving one side open. This is to surround the three towers."
Policy."
"I don't know who the leaders of these bandits are, but if you have read military books, you will definitely suspect that there is an ambush in the north when you see this situation, but you still have to escape from the north due to the situation. When they pass by safely from the north, you will be relieved.
At that time, our army sent a thousand households to pursue them, forcing them to not stop and think, but to run away."
"Could it be that we have to arrange for soldiers to intercept them from the east and west, force them to flee north, and finally arrange an army to ambush them in the north?" Yunzhi asked.
"Your Highness is very smart and is very close to what I want." Yu Qi said: "But if there are pursuers later, there is no need to arrange soldiers to block them on the left and right sides. The terrain here is complex and there are many hills. We only need to use the hills to force them
Taking a road that cannot be turned left or right creates a situation similar to that of surrounding three buildings. Since the bandits have not arranged an ambush here before, they will not suspect that there is an ambush ahead, and they can retreat with confidence."
"Our army arranged an ambush to the north of the exit to block the bandits inside. But this is not a dead end at this time, because although the hills on the left and right are difficult to walk, they can still accommodate a small number of people to pass through. The bandits are not strong, so we are sure to see this
will scatter. Our army can rush in and eliminate the bandits who are still resisting, and then set fire to the hills and burn all the bandits inside. In this way, the bandits can be completely wiped out."
"Okay, good strategy." Yunzhi clapped her hands and smiled. But then she added: "But to make this strategy well, you need someone who is proficient in the geography of this place."
"I once served as a general in Shaanxi and am familiar with the geography of this place." Yu Qi added.
"Then this battle will be left to Commander Yu." Yun Zhi said. After that, they began to make arrangements according to Yu Ai's plan. Zhang Wuji felt a little inappropriate and advised Yun Zhi; but although Yun Zhi's attitude towards him
He was still kind, but still did not listen to his words and attacked resolutely. Zhang Wuji could only stop admonishing.
…
"I said I would like to express my gratitude to you. Do you want to go against my words?" Yun Zhi said impatiently after giving in for a while.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing this, Yu Zhen and Zhang Lun did not dare to give in, so they bowed and agreed.
"That's good." Yunzhi smiled, looked at the 'bandits' in the middle, and said to them: "Why don't you give the order to rush in and annihilate them all?"
"Yes, Your Highness." After a short while, Yu Zhen agreed and prepared to give the order. He originally wanted to wait for the bandits to disperse before ordering the attack, so that there would be fewer casualties. But their unity exceeded his expectations, and His Highness again
To urge, we can only attack in advance.
He was about to ask the flag soldiers to wave small flags to convey orders to the soldiers over there, and both sides launched attacks at the same time, but suddenly someone shouted: "Your Highness, Commander Yu, Commander Zhang, the bandits have raised the white flag and want to surrender!"
Your Highness, Commander Yu, Commander Zhang, and the bandits have raised their white flags and want to surrender!"
Hearing this, Yunzhi and others raised their heads and saw a white flag flying high among them, held up by a wooden pole.
