The incorporation was smooth.
With the support of the 40,000-strong army and the propaganda of the concept of saving the common people, Gui Yunzheng's strategy of subduing the enemy's troops without fighting achieved great success.
This night is destined to be relatively long.
In less than an hour, Ma Rubao carried Li Zizhong's head back to the tent.
Blood, following his heroic steps, seeped out of the yellow scarf wrapped around his head.
"King of England, this man has some backbone. He would rather be stabbed to death by me than surrender to us. I have no choice but to fulfill his wish!"
"Haha, it's the general's order to wrap his body in horse leather. He deserves to die. Someone, please give credit to General Ma and give this man a good burial!"
Gui Yunzheng smiled slightly, this man's surname was Li Zizhong, and he died like this, so he did not live up to the word "loyalty".
"Uncle Bao, you have to work hard tonight. The camp by the river must be guarded to prevent Yunyang soldiers from attacking at night."
After all, there are still more than 20,000 newly surrendered soldiers. No matter how reassured Gui Yunzheng is, he still has to be prepared.
Li Wenzhong and Du Cong had already surrendered, but they had no objections for the time being. Ren Guiyunzheng cleverly separated the troops.
"Your Majesty, if I can be of any use, just give me your orders!"
After all, Li Wenzhong felt uneasy. After thinking about it, he decided to stand up and find something to do.
"Haha, General Li and General Du, the most important thing is to appease the soldiers. In the evening, I will follow the two generals to patrol the camps everywhere to comfort the soldiers!"
Gui Yunzheng smiled softly and motioned for him to leave first.
After everyone left and only Ma Zijin was left in the tent, Gui Yunzheng's expression turned a little worried.
"Husband, what do you have to worry about?"
Ma Zijin was puzzled. She came from a family of generals, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with her husband's handling of the surrender tonight.
"Zijin, newcomers are most afraid of repeating themselves, and if there are 20,000 people, once they change, they will have to spend some effort!"
Gui Yunzheng told the truth.
In fact, he had placed secret sentries around the surrendered generals to monitor them. These secret sentries were all Cang Long's subordinates, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. This time he left some of them for King Fu and brought some with him during this expedition.
But after all, people defected too easily. Even if there was no fraud and all arrangements were in place, it still made him a little worried.
Of course, the sky will eventually light up. No matter how long the night is, it will pass.
Early the next morning, Gui Yunzheng stood up with a yawn. A large number of people were already waiting outside the tent.
"Brothers, come into the tent!"
Guiyun shouted loudly, his eyes gleaming again.
Then, the generals headed by Ma Rubao entered the tent one by one and were divided into several rows according to their positions.
"General Li, General Du, according to what you two have seen, why can't we capture Yunyang for so long?"
Gui Yunzheng looked at Li Wenzhong and Du Cong with a smile on his face.
"Reporting to the King of England, the city of Yunyang is separated by a river, and its navy is well-drilled. The Northern Army crossed the river several times, resulting in thousands of casualties. Even if they were able to help occasionally, they were all defeated by the soldiers on the bank."
Gui Yunzheng nodded.
The Northern Army was not good at water warfare, so its combat effectiveness was naturally low. Moreover, I heard that Meng Ye, the Yunyang guard, was Princess Ping's cousin. He had always known soldiers and was loyal to Prince Ping, so he would definitely not be easy to attack.
"It doesn't matter, I have a clever plan to break the city. Today, I will issue an order to all the soldiers in each battalion to prepare for crossing the river, and give strict orders to go out lightly!"
After saying that, Gui Yunzheng stood up with his sword in hand.
"Generals, follow me to the riverside camp to have a look!"
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Gui Yunzheng wanted to visit the front line in person to see how he could minimize the casualties of the soldiers so that he could capture Yunyang at the time agreed with Xu Lang.
At this time, can Xu Lang's men and horses approach Yunyang smoothly as originally planned?
