The Invincible Sixth Prince

Three days later, Yunzheng and his party entered Suizhou.

This is the first time Yunzheng has traveled far away since he came to Daqian Dynasty.

He also really felt the pain in the ancient transportation.

It has been five days since we set off from the Imperial City!

He originally thought that in five days, he could cover seven to eight hundred miles no matter what.

However, even if he urged them all the way, they would only go less than miles.

Mainly because the horse-drawn carriages transporting supplies were too slow.

“After Suizhou, it’s Juzhou, right?”

During the break, Yunzheng asked Du Guiyuan.

"Ah."

Du Guiyuan nodded, "According to the previous marching speed, we should be able to reach Linping City, the gateway to Juzhou, in about three days."

"Are we going to have three more days?"

Yunzheng smiled bitterly.

Too damn slow!

At this rate, plus the time spent resting and waiting in Linping City, it would probably take half a month to reach Shuobei!

Just as Yunzheng was sighing secretly, Gao He and Zhou Mi rode back.

Behind them, there was a carriage.

Ok?

Yun Zheng stood up and looked at Gao He and the others with a frown.

Why did they bring a carriage back?

Not long after, Gao He and Zhou Mi came to Yun Zheng and reported: "Your Highness, we were ordered to ask the Wuyang County Governor to arrange meals. We met a squire on the way. He heard that His Highness had arrived in Wuyang County, so he insisted on following us. Come together and say that I have something to ask of Your Highness."

Ok?

Do you want something from yourself?

Do you still need to give yourself a gift?

Yun Zheng frowned slightly and motioned to Gao He and the others to bring him over.

Soon, the gray-haired squire on the carriage was brought to Yun Zheng.

"Old Sun Changxiao, please see the prince!"

As soon as Sun Changxiao came over, he knelt on the ground.

"Exemption."

Yun Zheng waved his hand gently, "I heard that you have something to ask for from me?"

"Yes Yes!"

Sun Changxiao nodded repeatedly and wailed: "I sincerely ask the prince to help this county eliminate the bandits and restore a peaceful world to the people of this county."

Bandits?

Yunzheng had a dark look on his face.

Damn it, he thought someone was trying to gain something by giving him a gift!

As a result, there was no gift, and he was still required to help suppress the bandits?

Depend on!

A typical empty-handed white wolf!

In the past, you always played this trick with others, okay?

Yun Zheng complained crazily in his heart, and then said: "Tell me more specifically."

"well……"

Sun Changxiao quickly informed the situation truthfully.

Banditry broke out in Wuyang County in March last year.

Bandits and robbers exist in every state and county, but they vary in size.

At first, the governor of Wuyang County did not pay attention to the bandits, thinking that they could wipe out the bandits by sending a random team of troops.

However, that group of bandits was very powerful and directly defeated the officers and soldiers.

After that, Wuyang County Governor sent troops to conquer many times.

As a result, not only were the bandits not wiped out, but more and more of them were wiped out, gradually gaining momentum.

Today, most of the bandits in Suizhou have been recruited by the bandit leader Zhao Heihu. Thousands of bandits are entrenched in Qingyang Mountain in the southeast of Wuyang County, robbing passing caravans, and from time to time they do not enter the city to rob or kidnap.

Sun Changxiao's youngest son was also kidnapped by Zhao Heihu a few days ago.

Zhao Heihu demanded a ransom of taels of silver from the Sun family.

Although the Sun family also had some wealth, they really couldn't afford thirty thousand taels of silver, so they had no choice but to seek help from the Wuyang County Sheriff.

He went to the Wuyang County Sheriff three times to ask for help, but the County Sheriff only agreed verbally, but did not dare to send troops to encircle and suppress Zhao Heihu's group of bandits.

Today, he ran to seek help from Wuyang County Governor again and happened to meet Gao He and Zhou Mi.

He saw that Wuyang County Sheriff was respectful to Gao He and Zhou Mi, so he knew that these two people had extraordinary status, so he waited outside the County Sheriff's house, and when the two left, he blocked the road and asked for help.

After understanding what happened, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frowned: "There's something wrong with this Wuyang County Governor! He can't defeat those bandits, wouldn't he ask the state government to send troops? Even if the state government can't do anything, he can still report to the court! "

"The prince doesn't know something."

Sun Changxiao said angrily: "These people are afraid that the imperial court will hold them responsible for their ineffective suppression of bandits. As long as they can hide things from the imperial court, they will definitely not report it..."

Is that so?

It is possible!

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and then asked: "How many people are there in Zhao Heihu's group?"

"This... I don't even know."

Sun Changxiao looked troubled, shook his head and said: "I heard that there are two to three thousand people in that group of bandits, but I don't know how many there are..."

Is that so?

Yunzheng thought for a moment.

This is also a good way to train troops!

The first five hundred soldiers he recruited have not yet been baptized on the battlefield!

If he could recruit this group of bandits, he would definitely have more men on his hands.

However, correspondingly, as more people are recruited, their marching speed will be greatly slowed down.

If we recruit one or two thousand people, we can't all be equipped with horses, right?

Well, just recruit capable people!

Yes, that's it!

This is also an opportunity for practical combat!

You can also go to the bandit's lair to take down a wave!

After making up his mind, Yunzheng immediately called Du Guiyuan, Shen Luoyan and others over.

Knowing that Yun Zheng wanted to suppress the bandits, Shen Luoyan was immediately excited, "There are only two to three thousand bandits, and I can kill them with three to five hundred people! Leave this matter to me!"

In Shen Luoyan's opinion, bandits are just a mob.

Facing three to five hundred cavalry, let alone starting a fight, he would be so scared that he would pee!

"You give me peace of mind!"

Yun Zheng Yun Zheng glared at Shen Luoyan, "Only a fool leads the army to fight them!"

"Oh, you are so smart!"

Shen Luoyan curled his lips and retorted: "If you don't fight with others, does the prince intend to use your identity as prince to scare them all into committing suicide?"

Even though Ye Zi had told her a lot about Yun Zheng these days, and she knew about Yun Zheng's bad behavior, she still didn't believe it, let alone that Yun Zheng would lead the army in battle.

She won’t believe it until she sees her mother and the others again!

"I……"

Yun Zheng had a dark look on his face and said speechlessly: "What I mean is that we wait for work and let Zhao Heihu bring people to come and rob us, and then we will take advantage of the situation and wipe them out..."

You don't even know what's going on with those bandits, so you lead your army to fight them?

If it were so easy to beat, would the Wuyang County Sheriff be afraid of being beaten?

Even if those bandits were vulnerable, he would not just lead them to fight them stupidly.

They are cavalry!

The cavalry must take advantage of the cavalry!

When the cavalry dismounts to attack other people's strongholds, isn't this a case of sacrificing their strengths and taking advantage of their weaknesses?

Listening to Yun Zheng's explanation, Shen Luoyan's face suddenly turned red, but she said stiffly: "Do you think Zhao Heihu is a fool, and he comes just when you ask him to?"

"So you are stupid!"

Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and pointed at Sun Changxiao, "His youngest son has been kidnapped. I will go with him to pay the ransom. I have a way to deceive them!"

"no!"

"Your Highness must not!"

"Your Highness is a man of wealth, so you must not take any personal risks!"

As soon as Yun Zheng finished speaking, he was met with fierce opposition from everyone.

Yun Zheng looked at everyone helplessly, thought for a moment, and then said to Du Guiyuan: "In this case, you will go to Qingyang Mountain with him as his nephew later..."

Yunzheng told Du Guiyuan his plan in detail, and even explained clearly what to say to those who saw Zhao Heihu...
