Xiao Dingwu's eyelids twitched and he whispered: "What did you find in Shuofang?"
Xiao Dingwu knew in his heart that his father's strange thoughts must be related to his trip to Shuofang.
Xiao Wanchou nodded slightly: "I did make some discoveries..."
With that said, Xiao Wanchou started talking to his son in detail again.
He discovered that His Highness the Sixth Prince had a very high prestige among Shuofang's army.
If Yun Zheng did not agree, Wei Wenzhong would never be able to mobilize Shuo Fang's soldiers!
This cannot be achieved with the help of just one Mr. Leng!
If he really only relied on Mr. Leng, Yunzheng would become Mr. Leng's puppet.
However, Yunzheng did not become Mr. Leng's puppet.
All the generals in Shuofang's army, big and small, respected Yun Zheng.
This respect can already explain some problems.
Moreover, although he stayed in Shuofang for several days, he could not ask about many things about Shuofang.
He felt that he, the Minister of War, was like an outsider.
The generals of Shuofang are a small group.
Although this doesn't mean anything, it can at least confirm that Yun Zheng is hiding many things from him.
Why Yunzheng wanted to hide it from him is worth examining.
Listening to his father's words, Xiao Dingwu couldn't help but think silently.
So, is it really possible that Yun Zheng wants to seize control of the Beifu Army?
Is he going to rebel?
Or should we support our troops and respect ourselves?
Xiao Dingwu thought for a while and then asked: "Is that Mr. Leng really that powerful?"
"It's awesome!"
Xiao Wanchou nodded and said with emotion: "This person's military tactics are unpredictable! If His Highness the Sixth Prince wants to take Beilu Pass, he will definitely not attack it by force! Even if you rely on the natural danger of Beilu Pass, it is probably not possible His opponent! How much contribution can you make by guarding Beilu Pass? But if you lose Beilu Pass, you will be doomed..."
The current situation is very delicate.
Xiao Wanchou didn't want his son to take this risk.
Moreover, there was no need for him to take this risk.
This is an internal matter within Daqian, and there is no need to fight it.
If Beihuan invaded, he would definitely let his son defend Beilu Pass.
Xiao Dingwu was silent for a moment and then asked: "Then why are you pretending to be sick?"
"Fool!"
Xiao Wanchou glared at his son, "Once His Highness the Sixth Prince seizes control of the Beifu Army, the father-son relationship between him and the Holy Lord will probably come to an end! By then, the Holy Lord will probably raise troops to conquer him! Is it possible, you think? Let me lead the army to conquer His Highness Sixth Prince?"
Once Yunzheng seizes control of Beilu Pass, he will have natural danger!
Plus the unpredictable Mr. Leng.
How to fight this?
He has seen how powerful Mr. Leng is, why would he want to wade into this muddy water?
Do you think you have a long life?
Xiao Dingwu frowned, "Dad, this doesn't seem like your style?"
"Shit style!"
Xiao Wanchou glared at him angrily, "If His Highness the Sixth Prince can guard Shuobei for Da Gan, it will also be a blessing to the people of Da Gan! Let them go about their own affairs with the royal family. We ministers should not get involved. ! Otherwise, you may fall victim to their game at any time!"
Listening to his father's words, Xiao Dingwu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
He suddenly couldn't understand his father.
My father just went to Shuofang for a few days. How could there be such a big change?
"Listen to your father's advice, I won't harm you!"
Xiao Wanchou patted his son on the shoulder, "If we want to fight Beihuan, even if all the men of the Xiao family die on the battlefield, my father will never back down! But let them deal with this kind of thing on their own. We don't have to go to waste. Sacrifice! And..."
At this point, Xiao Wanchou suddenly paused and sighed silently.
"And what?"
Xiao Dingwu asked suspiciously.
Xiao Wanchou sighed and said worriedly: "Although the current Holy Emperor is not an eternal Mingjun, he can still be regarded as a qualified emperor, but our prince is not an Mingjun at all! If there is such a threat as His Highness the Sixth Prince, Maybe, the prince will be a little more restrained after he succeeds to the throne..."
Xiao Dingwu thought silently for a while and nodded lightly.
…
After sending Xiao Wanchou and the others away, Yun Zheng also started to get busy.
Now, they actually have thirty-six thousand troops in their hands.
Together with the war horses captured in the battle at Split Wind Canyon a few days ago, their number of war horses finally exceeded 10,000.
The cavalry training camp on the Luoxia Mountain side is basically completed and can be officially put into use.
Zhou Jishan and Gao He were ordered to be responsible for the training of five thousand cavalry on the Luoxia Mountain side.
Another more than 5,000 war horses were handed over to Shen Luoyan, and he was asked to select 3,000 people who were good at riding, shooting and fighting on horseback to form a real cavalry unit!
Du Guiyuan selected a thousand people from the entire army to rebuild the Blood Clothes Army.
The blood-coated troops are considered cavalry.
However, Yunzheng does not have so many war horses now.
Moreover, what he wanted to do was to turn the blood-coated troops into heavy cavalry that charged into battle.
It is definitely not possible for the time being, so these people can only practice foot combat first.
Feng Yu led nine thousand people to camp in Split Wind Canyon for a long time and was responsible for the defense of Split Wind Canyon.
The other 18,000 people were divided into two groups, led by Zuo Ren and Lu Xing respectively.
Yunzheng's Qianfu soldiers have now basically become lower-level officers in the army, which also ensures that he can fully control this army.
In addition, the more than 20,000 old and weak Tian soldiers, excluding those with skills, were also divided into two battalions by Yun Zheng.
It's only less than two months until spring.
We have to make some arrangements in advance for the spring farming.
Now, Yunzheng's Guards Battalion only has one hundred people.
The leader of the Guards Battalion was replaced by Yu Shizhong.
The food and grass plundered in the Split Wind Canyon a few days ago were temporarily stored.
This food and grass is enough to feed more than 50,000 of them for a month.
After arranging all the affairs, Yun Zheng called Yu Shizhong into his tent, "Do you have any objections to promoting you from the commander of the army to the commander of my personal guards?"
"No!"
Yu Shizhong chuckled, "The general knows that His Highness is deliberately training the general!"
Yu Shizhong is not stupid either.
He didn't make any mistakes. It was all right. Yun Zheng turned him into the commander of the guards. There must be a reason.
After all, the commander of the guards was the one who followed Yun Zheng.
There is so much to learn from him.
"You are quite smart!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "To be honest, I originally wanted Du Guiyuan to be my Guards Commander, but he is obsessed with rebuilding the Bloody Clothes Army, so I can't force him."
"Brother Du does have some obsession with the Bloody Clothes Army, and so does the last general." Yu Shizhong said: "When Brother Du rebuilds the Bloody Clothes Army, let him serve as the commander of the guards for His Highness."
Yu Shizhong knew that Du Guiyuan was indeed more suitable than him to be the deputy commander of the army in Yunzheng's hands.
Moreover, Du Guiyuan was a man with a broken arm after all, so it was still almost meaningless to lead his troops into battle.
It is most suitable to let Du Guiyuan take charge and mobilize the army.
If possible, he would prefer to exchange places with Du Guiyuan.
"Let's talk about this later!"
Yunzheng smiled helplessly, "Starting from tomorrow, I will test you with some war games. If you lose three times in a row, you will be punished. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
Yu Shizhong shook his head quickly.
Yun Zheng is teaching him something!
How could he have any objection!
Even if he is punished, he is willing to do so.
Just as the two were talking, the guard outside the tent suddenly ran in in a hurry, "Your Highness, General Feng Yu sent someone back to deliver a message. They captured a person in the Split Wind Canyon..."
"who?"
After learning the identity of the person Feng Yu and the others had captured, Yun Zheng and Yu Shizhong screamed at the same time...
