In the following days, field soldiers from all ministries were gathering at Shuofang City.
However, because these field soldiers carried a large amount of supplies, and the snow made the roads muddy, their marching speed was very slow.
The Tian Bings in Mayi and Suqu, which are relatively close to Shuofang City, are okay. They should be able to reach Shuofang City in about four or five days.
But it would take at least ten days for the Tian soldiers from Tianhu and Moyang City to arrive.
Yunzheng couldn't take care of that much anymore. When the field soldiers from Mayi and Suqu arrived, he would first select people from the army and form his own Eighteen Ghost Cavalry.
When the field soldiers behind arrive, they can select some more people as a reserve army.
"Why do you have to get eighteen people?"
On the way back, Shen Luoyan was full of puzzled questions.
Yun Zheng laughed and replied casually: "Men, they are somewhat obsessed with the number eighteen."
"Obsession?"
Shen Luoyan was even more puzzled, "What obsession can there be with such a number?"
"You don't understand here, do you?"
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "For example, the eighteen-year-old Tian Tian, eighteen martial arts, eighteen touches..."
"What a mess!" Shen Luoyan pouted, "You might as well just say that you are just a pervert, thinking about a woman who just turned eighteen all day long!"
"Ahem..."
Yun Zheng laughed dryly, "If you say that, there's nothing wrong with it."
When Shen Luoyan heard this, he immediately cursed "slutty" again.
This shameless bastard!
Feel free to say anything!
I teased him, and he shamelessly admitted it?
She has never seen such a shameless person!
Fortunately, she was gradually getting used to Yun Zheng's shameless temper, so she didn't dwell on this matter. Instead, she asked, "What did you talk to Yu Shizhong today?"
"What else can we talk about?"
Yun Zheng shrugged, "Isn't it just the nonsense of training cavalry?"
"Is it?"
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly, "I feel like you have some ulterior secrets!"
Yun Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a dark look on his face: "Where did you see it?"
"Feel!"
Shen Luoyan stared at him, "I feel like you didn't talk about cavalry training. I feel like you are hiding something from me!"
Damn it?
seriously!
Is this a woman’s intuition?
"Okay, you really feel right."
Yunzheng shrugged, "Now that you've seen it, I won't hide it from you. I plan to ask Yu Shizhong to bring a team of cavalry to accompany me around Suqu tomorrow."
"Going to Suqu?"
Shen Luoyan was suspicious, "Why are you going to Suqu?"
She felt that Yunzheng still didn't tell the truth.
Yunzheng probably has other purposes!
"Suqu is my next target!"
Yunzheng said seriously: "I have to make some preparations in advance to understand the situation around Suqu so that I can make subsequent plans."
Is that so?
Shen Luoyan looked at him doubtfully, "Why are you hiding this from me?"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her, "Don't you always say that I'm a weakling and tell me not to run around in the wind and snow? I'm just afraid that you'll worry!"
"Who's worried about you?"
Shen Luoyan curled his lips and said duplicitously.
"I'm overthinking it, okay?"
Yun Zheng smiled helplessly, and then ordered: "As long as you know this, don't tell my sister-in-law and others, otherwise they will nag me again."
"You are so heartless!"
Shen Luoyan said dissatisfied: "If I didn't care about you, who would be nagging in your ear?"
"Okay, let's just assume I said something wrong, okay?"
Yun Zheng smiled and changed the topic: "Before the spring begins, Beihuan will most likely take the initiative to attack. Just in case, starting from tomorrow, let the old and weak in the camp start to prepare dry food, at least Ensure enough dry food for 20,000 people to last for half a month..."
Next, Yun Zheng began to explain Shen Luoyan's affairs.
Shen Luoyan was distracted and didn't ask any more questions about their trip to the ditch.
As soon as the two returned to the house, Zhang Xu hurried over.
"Your Highness, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Zhang Xu asked coquettishly.
Is this birdman still trying to show off?
Yun Zheng smiled and replied: "Let me tell you the good news first!"
Zhang Xu chuckled, stepped forward and said, "I found someone who can get the war horse!"
real?
Yun Zheng was instantly excited.
However, thinking about the bad news Zhang Xu said, Yun Zheng's joy suddenly decreased by half, and he asked tentatively: "Don't tell me that the bad news is that war horses are expensive?"
"As expected of His Highness the Sixth, you are so smart!"
Zhang Xu flattered him and said bitterly: "He wants fifty gold and a war horse!"
"How much...how much?"
Yun Zheng almost bit his tongue, "Fifty gold? Are you crazy! What kind of war horse is that? He dares to ask for fifty gold for one?"
Fifty gold for a war horse!
Isn't that equivalent to five thousand taels of silver per horse?
With his six million taels of silver, is it enough to buy more than a thousand war horses?
Isn’t this too damn dark?
Even worse than the profiteer Zhang Xu!
"It's just an ordinary war horse."
Zhang Xu shrugged and whispered: "And there are not many, just twenty! That man is related to the horse Zheng of Moyang Racecourse, but the horses at the racecourse are strictly controlled, and he does not dare to move too much …”
Twenty horses?
Yunzheng felt secretly bitter.
Damn you!
The quantity is small, but it’s expensive!
Now he wants to groom only twenty war horses?
Yunzheng thought silently for a while, and then said to Zhang Xu: "You should walk around with him more and ask him to lower the price of the horses. Besides, twenty war horses are too few, at least a hundred are needed!"
"let me try!"
Zhang Xu nodded, "But don't have too much hope. The man said, if it's just for those three melons and two dates, who is willing to take such a big risk to do such a stupid thing?"
Yunzheng nodded, "I understand! Let's try it first!"
Indeed, if the smuggling of war horses from the imperial racecourse is discovered, their heads will definitely fall off!
The stakes are really high.
Let’s take a look first and then talk!
If it doesn't work, then just forget it.
Although he wants a war horse, he can't be taken advantage of like this!
Damn it, if you completely fall out with Wei Wenzhong in the future, grab the Moyang Racecourse first!
However, after thinking about it carefully, Yun Zheng temporarily gave up the idea.
It is unlikely that he and Wei Wenzhong will completely break up with each other. At most, they are secretly competing with each other.
After all, once he goes to rob Moyang Racecourse, it will be equivalent to raising an army to rebel!
well!
It seems that if you want to get a large number of war horses, you still have to rely on Beihuan's idea!
that is it!
What's the point of robbing one's own people?
If you want to grab a war horse, go to Beihuan and grab it!
Seizing the war horse from Beihuan not only failed, but it was also a great achievement!
Just when Yunzheng was thinking wildly, Zhang Xu showed a mean smile again, "Your Highness, Sixth Prince, you see, the weather in Shuobei is getting colder and colder, isn't it?"
"yes!"
Yunzheng nodded and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What do you want to express?"
Zhang Xu chuckled and said immediately: "Look, you all have bed warmers..."
"Who do you like?"
Yun Zheng instantly understood what Zhang Xu meant.
Shen Luoyan keeps saying that he is a pervert, but Zhang Xu is the real pervert, okay?
"Mingyue!"
Zhang Xu chuckled, smacked his lips and said, "I didn't think this girl was that good-looking before, but since I came to Shuobei, she's always been mean to me, but I think she's getting more and more exciting! Your Highness, Do you think we both have the masochistic tendencies you mentioned?"
When Yun Zheng heard this, he was immediately speechless.
"You have masochistic tendencies, don't take me with you!"
Yun Zheng smiled and glared at Zhang Xu, then shook his head and said, "I can't help you with this. If you want her to warm your bed, go and hook her up yourself."
Zhang Xu said bitterly: "I dare to seduce her, but she will kill me alive!"
"I'm so scared!"
Yun Zheng joked: "She is so talkative, but can she really chop you alive? Just go and hook up boldly. Doesn't she know how to heal? If she hurts you, I will let her heal you." Okay! In this way, don’t you have a chance?”
"this……"
Zhang Xu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "That's it!"
"Forehead……"
Yun Zheng choked slightly, "I'm just fucking talking casually, you can't be serious, can you?"
"Sure!"
Zhang Xu chuckled and said, "What do you mean by that? I'm willing to be killed to pull the emperor off his horse!"
Yunzheng's face twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment...
