When it got dark, the prisoners released by Yunzheng finally returned to Weibian City.
He also brought a letter written by Yunzheng himself to Banbu.
Bambu opened the letter and glanced at it briefly before his expression turned gloomy.
Soon, Banbu found Wulie with this letter.
"You want us to exchange two thousand horses for those corpses?"
Wu Lie's face was gloomy. He slapped the letter in his hand on the table and growled through gritted teeth: "This damn Yunzheng has quite an appetite!"
Two thousand war horses are indeed nothing to Beihuan.
However, it is another matter to give two thousand war horses to the people of Daqian.
"Should we change it now or not?"
Banbu frowned and said: "Yunzheng made it very clear in the letter that if the horses are not seen within ten days, he will send the bodies of our warriors to Suining Guard and hang them on the city wall of Suining Guard." …”
"Hang up!"
Wu Lie's face was filled with frost and he said disapprovingly: "It's useless for us to hold those corpses anyway!"
Banbu frowned and said with a sigh: "Prince, our army is newly defeated and its morale is already low. If Yun Zheng really does this, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of our army even more!"
Beihuan is different from Daqian.
Daqian must hold fast now and wait until spring tomorrow before launching a large-scale war.
But Beihuan wanted to cripple the Beifu army this winter so that Daqian would not be able to fight again when spring began, thereby buying Beihuan time to alleviate the food shortage.
As long as they last until next autumn, the food crisis in Beihuan will be relieved and the war horses will be fat and strong.
At that time, even if Daqian does not fight, Beihuan will take the initiative to start a war.
Now, as the attacker, Beihuan must not let his morale be low!
"Are we just giving them two thousand war horses for a bunch of useless corpses?"
Wu Lie's face was gloomy.
Bei Huan's new defeat made him angry.
Now, we have to send war horses to the people of Daqian.
He couldn't swallow this breath no matter what!
Of course Bambu was not reconciled.
But thinking about morale issues, he had to consider the conditions for agreeing to Yun Zheng.
Banbu was silent for a moment, and then suggested to Wu Lie, "If the eldest prince is undecided, he can send a war eagle to convey the news to the great chanyu, and let the great chanyu make a decision. This way, the eldest prince will not make a rash decision, which will cause great harm to the great chanyu." dissatisfaction..."
Wulie thought silently for a while, and finally nodded unwillingly.
The first battle against Da Gan ended in a disastrous defeat. Some people in the royal court may have begun to be dissatisfied with him.
If something goes wrong again at this time, he may not be able to keep his position as commander-in-chief.
After sending someone to send a message to the royal court, Wu Lie looked at Bambu with a frown, "We must win a big victory as soon as possible. What should we do next?"
If No. 1 wins, he doesn't need to have such a headache now.
But the first battle was a disastrous defeat, and their large-scale attack on the city was unsafe.
Now, he didn't even know which direction to attack from.
Of course, he also knows that their morale is low now, so they urgently need a victory to boost their morale.
Banbu replied: "I do have some ideas, but let's wait for the news from the royal court first!"
Wulie thought silently for a while and nodded feebly.
Damn Yunzheng!
Sooner or later, this prince will cut you into pieces!
…
Soon, two days passed.
Wulie also received the news from the royal court.
Change!
Although the people in the Beihuan Royal Court did not want to give away two thousand horses to Yunzheng and the others for nothing, they had to do so for the sake of Beihuan's morale.
However, Beihuan could not be so stupid as to give all his troops to excellent war horses.
The Great Chanyu of Beihuan asked Wu Lie to exchange the corpses of Beihuan soldiers with the old and weak horses that were about to be eliminated.
In fact, Wulie would do it even if the big chanyu didn't ask for it.
Now that this matter has been decided, the next step is to discuss how to exchange it.
When Wu Lie just called people to notify the captains of ten thousand men to come to the tent to discuss matters, a personal guard walked in quickly: "Prince, this is an urgent report from Suli, the subordinate of Zuoxian King in the Qing Dynasty!"
With that said, the bodyguard bowed and presented an urgent report.
Wulie immediately opened the emergency report and checked it.
As he watched, Wu Lie's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
At this time, Banbu and the generals rushed into the tent.
"Take a look, what is this!"
Wulie handed the urgent report to Bambu with excitement on his face.
Bambu received the emergency report suspiciously, and after just a cursory glance, his eyelids suddenly twitched.
Seeing that Bambu looked wrong, the others gathered around him.
Everyone's faces changed color after seeing the contents of the emergency report.
trap!
Yunzheng's request to exchange his corpse for war horses with Beihuan was a complete trap!
Yunzheng and the others had no intention of exchanging with him, they just deliberately disturbed their sight.
Yunzheng's real purpose was to take advantage of their unpreparedness and use 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to surprise the Beihuan defenders at Langya Pass. After that, the infantry stayed behind to guard Langya Pass, while the cavalry rushed all the way to Beihuan's position in Yan. Return to the Muma Grassland on the west side of the mountain.
That’s where the second largest racecourse in Beihuan is located!
Their purpose is to snatch the horses from the racecourse!
If this plan succeeds, Beihuan will suffer heavy losses.
"First Prince, where did Su Li learn about Yunzheng's plan?"
A sturdy man asked with his face full of breath.
"Don't worry about this."
Wulie shook his head slightly and looked at Banbu again, "How credible does the Imperial Master think this emergency report is?"
"Let me think about it!"
Bambu frowned, his mind spinning rapidly.
Of course he knew where Sully got the plan.
Someone in the Beifu Army wanted to use their help to get rid of Yun Zheng, which they had known for a long time.
It is not unusual for people who want to get rid of Yunzheng to tell them Yunzheng's plans.
However, they are not fools.
They also have to suspect that this is a conspiracy of the Dagan people.
What he needs to think about now is, if this is a trick by the Dagan people, what is their real purpose?
What articles can they use this conspiracy to create?
However, after thinking about it, he didn't know what impact this conspiracy could have on them.
So what if they use less manpower to defend Langya Valley? They can temporarily recruit young men from various tribes, and there is no need to use the troops guarding the three-sided city.
As a result, the Beifu Army could not take advantage of their empty defense to attack Sanbiancheng.
They didn't dare to attack the city rashly, and the Beifu army also didn't dare to attack the city rashly!
No matter what they do, they seem to have nothing to lose.
Banbu thought for a while, then looked at Wu Lie, "What does the eldest prince think?"
Wu Lie said in a deep voice: "I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist! If it is true, this battle will definitely allow us to avenge our previous shame and avenge Shudu and the others! Even if this is a trick of Da Gan people, we At worst, we can temporarily recruit young men to guard the Langya Mountain Pass. As long as we don't divert the troops from Sanbiancheng, we won't suffer any losses."
Banbu nodded slightly, "Although I think so too! But the old couple always feel that something is wrong! Let's think about it carefully to avoid falling into Yun Zheng's trick again!"
"Yunzheng?"
Wu Lie frowned, "I heard that Yun Zheng is not a good-for-nothing prince? What conspiracy can he come up with?"
"No!"
Banbu shook his head gently, "When I was in Daqian Imperial City, I fought with Yunzheng several times and never got any advantage! Yunzheng is by no means as simple as he seems on the surface. This guy is probably a very good disguiser. Bad wolf!"
