The Invincible Sixth Prince

At dusk, Yunzheng returned to his house from Mao'er Mountain.

If you work hard tomorrow, you can make more dry food.

Even if they don't let the states and counties along the way prepare food, it will be enough to last them until Shuobei.

However, the price was that he spent a lot of money.

It's not easy to feed an army!

This is only a thousand people, so there is no pressure to raise them.

If it were people, his little money would really not be able to withstand the tossing.

Just as Yunzheng was thinking about how to make money after going to Shuobei, Xiao Wanchou and his son came to visit him again.

It's not a big deal, it's just a small get-together before parting.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Zheng also learned about the situation of Shuobei and Beifu Army with Xiao Wanchou and his son.

After all, both father and son participated in the Battle of Shuobei five years ago.

When Xiao Wanchou told him about the situation of the Beifu Army, everyone in Yunzheng became numb.

"An army of three hundred thousand?"

Yun Zheng looked at Xiao Wanchou in astonishment, "Isn't there only Beifu troops? Why did there suddenly appear to be an extra troops?"

its not right!

I have always heard that the Beifu Army has troops.

Why is it now ?

Are you still trying to falsely report the number of soldiers?

Is this to paralyze Beihuan?

Xiao Wanchou was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "Your Highness probably has no detailed knowledge of the situation of the Beifu Army..."

With that said, Xiao Wanchou talked to Yun Zheng in detail.

The number of the Beifu Army was even more than .

However, the Beifu Army adopted the semi-field system.

The standing strength of the Beifu Army is about , and there are still about people stationed in Shuobei.

The purpose was naturally to reduce the supply pressure on the imperial court.

After all, Shuobei is located in a remote location, and supplies are inherently a problem.

If we relied entirely on the imperial court for supplies, the supply pressure on the imperial court would be very great.

The soldiers who were stationed in the fields wore armor during war and worked in farming when there was no war.

Although these people also have military status, because they spend most of their time farming and lack of training, both military discipline and combat capabilities are far inferior to those of the standing army.

In fact, Beihuan is basically a farming system.

It just changed from farming to nomadic farming.

The entire standing army of Beihuan is estimated to be about .

Maybe even less than .

Only in times of war would soldiers be temporarily recruited.

However, now that the war in Shuobei is about to resume, the soldiers stationed in Shuobei should be able to put on their armor again and start training.

And Beihuan is probably also actively preparing for war now.

"No wonder!"

Yun Zheng suddenly understood, nodded and said: "This farming system is quite good. It can greatly reduce the supply pressure on the imperial court."

"Ah."

Xiao Wanchou nodded, "If Beihuan hadn't been watching him, the standing army of the Beifu Army could have been reduced to less than . In that case, not only would there be no need for supplies from the imperial court, but I'm afraid there would still be surplus food to hand over to the imperial court..."

Speaking of this matter, Xiao Wanchou was also helpless.

There are many large and small countries surrounding Daqian, but the most threatening one is Beihuan.

In order to guard against Beihuan, Daqian invested huge manpower and financial resources in Shuobei.

Although Daqian claimed to have an army of one million, many of them were soldiers stationed in the fields.

Some places that have not seen war for many years can even be completely self-sufficient.

The imperial court's supplies to other ministries were not very large.

The total supplies of the armies from other places are probably similar to those of the Beifu Army.

After telling Yun Zheng about the situation of the Beifu Army, Xiao Wanchou warned again: "Your Highness is going to Shuobei this time. You must not lead your troops to attack at will. Banbu has suffered heavy losses at the hands of His Highness before, and it will definitely be detrimental to Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Duke Yu, for reminding me."

Yunzheng said gratefully.

Although he would not listen to Xiao Wanchou's words, he accepted Xiao Wanchou's kindness.

Next, Xiao Wanchou told Yun Zheng many things.

These are some things to note when arriving at Shuobei.

After Haishi, Xiao Wanchou and his son left.

After sending Xiao Wanchou and his son away, Yunzheng returned to the study.

He also learned a lot from Xiao Wanchou today.

These things are still very useful to him.

After finding a rough map and unfolding it, Yun Zheng began to think quietly.

Although he hadn't set out for Shuobei yet, he was already thinking about what happened after Shuobei.

The battle must be fought.

But how to fight and where to start as a breakthrough point are all problems.

……

Early the next morning, Yunzheng and Ye Zi rushed to Shen's house.

This time, they just went to pay homage to Shen Nanzheng and his son, so there was no need for too much fanfare.

After paying homage to Shen Nanzheng and his son, Yun Zheng chatted with Mrs. Shen alone for half an hour.

They had dinner at Shen Mansion and then rushed back to the Wang Mansion to make final preparations for their departure tomorrow.

When leaving Shen's Mansion, Shen Luoyan turned back three times with each step, filled with reluctance.

"Sister-in-law, I will leave my mother to you from now on..."

Along the way, Shen Luoyan chatted with Ye Zi non-stop.

Ye Zi's ears were almost calloused.

Inadvertently, Ye Zi glared at Yunzheng again.

It's all Yunzheng's fault!

Originally, she said that she would be at Shen's house tonight, and would follow Mrs. Shen and the others to see them off early tomorrow morning.

However, Yun Zheng insisted on asking her to go back to the house with him, saying that there were still some things at the house that needed her help.

It's already this time, what else can she take care of?

This bastard just has no good intentions!

Yun Zheng secretly laughed in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Back at the house, Shen Luoyan said that she would have a long talk with Ye Zi tonight, making it clear that she wanted Yun Zheng to stay alone in the empty room.

"Okay, okay! It's up to you."

Yunzheng smiled.

When Shen Luoyan pulled Ye Zi into the room, Yunzheng also ran to find Miaoyin and Mingyue.

Both of their bags have been packed and they seem ready to set off at any time.

"Let me confirm with you one last time. Do you really want to go to Shuobei with me?"

Yun Zheng showed a rare serious look and asked the two of them seriously.

"Isn't this the choice the prince gave us?"

Miaoyin raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why, is the prince suddenly afraid?"

Yun Zheng curled his lips: "What am I afraid of?"

Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course I'm afraid that the two of us following you will be detrimental to you!"

"I'm really not afraid!"

Yunzheng shook his head and smiled, "I just want to tell you, no matter what your purpose or idea is, as long as you get to Shuobei, you must obey my orders!"

"Why?"

Mingyue snorted coldly.

Now that their identities have been exposed, she no longer needs to be respectful to Yun Zheng.

"No reason!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and stared at Mingyue coldly, "As long as you are determined to follow me to Shuobei, you must obey my orders! If you can't do it, you can choose not to go now!"

"you……"

Mingyue was furious and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Miaoyin.

"You are really a domineering person!"

Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng with a half-smile, "If you want us to obey your orders, you must first see if you have the ability to make us obey your orders!"

"I don't eat this set!"

Yunzheng shook his head without thinking, "I'm making this a mandatory requirement, not negotiating terms with you!"

Miaoyin choked slightly and was speechless for a moment.

She really didn't expect Yun Zheng to be so domineering.

After hesitating for a moment, Miaoyin's eyes gradually became cold and stern, "We can obey your orders! But you also remember, if I don't see hope in you, I will really kill you!"

"Okay!"

Yun Zheng smiled nonchalantly, "You don't have to set off with me tomorrow! I need you to stay in the Imperial City to do something for me, and then rush to Linping, Juzhou to meet us!"

"what's up?"

Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng suspiciously.

Yun Zheng showed a smirk on his face and whispered to the two of them...
