The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 828 Arriving in Lingzhou

Early the next morning, Gayao left.

At the same time, Yu Shizhong and Wang Qi also led the army to prepare grain and grass. Ten thousand reserve troops transferred from the north of the town would help them escort the grain and grass to the vicinity of Baitou Forest, and Zulu would send people to take over.

Yun Zheng did not wait for Jia Yao and his army to arrive before setting off. After arranging the remaining matters, he led his personal guards to Lingzhou first.

Beihuan's army will follow the Xueyi Army and Fu Tianyan's troops to escort another part of the food and grass.

A few days later, Yunzheng and the others rushed to Lingzhou at high speed.

Zuo Ren and others who had escorted the grain and grass out earlier were far behind them.

Just as they were heading towards Lingzhou City, the guards who were scouting the road came back on horseback to report: "Your Majesty, General Feng Yu is leading three thousand horses to greet us!"

"Feng Yu?"

Yun Zheng smiled, and immediately raised his hand to signal the troops to speed up and meet Feng Yu and the others.

Not long after, a large group of cavalry appeared in Yunzheng's sight.

Feng Yu quickly rushed out of the team and rode up to Yunzheng and the others.

"General Feng Yu, please see Your Highness, Princess, and Mrs. Miaoyin!"

Feng Yu jumped off his horse and saluted the three of them.

"No gift!"

Yun Zheng also got off his horse and looked Feng Yu up and down.

"Your Highness, this is..."

Feng Yu looked at Yun Zheng confused, not knowing what Yun Zheng meant.

Facing Feng Yu's gaze, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you getting married? I want to see if you have gained weight or lost weight."

It turned out to be the case.

Feng Yu reacted and laughed immediately: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, the general has really gained a lot of weight. He is just waiting for a good fight with Dayue Kingdom to lose weight!"

"It's good that you haven't lost weight." Yun Zheng joked: "I am worried that you will be intoxicated in the gentle country all day long and your body will be exhausted!"

When Feng Yu heard this, his face suddenly turned red.

It turns out that His Highness is waiting for him here!

Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin both glared at Yunzheng angrily.

This guy is really out of shape.

As soon as he saw Feng Yu, he started teasing Feng Yu.

Does he think everyone is as shameless and shameless as him?

Shen Luoyan stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "General Feng, I heard from His Highness and Miaoyin that your wife is a great beauty. You must let me see her later."

"Yes Yes……"

Feng Yu smiled sheepishly.

Seeing Feng Yu's shy look, Miaoyin couldn't help but joke: "General Feng, you have been married for half a year, your wife must be pregnant, right?"

Speaking of this, Feng Yu suddenly smiled and nodded lightly.

"Not bad! You move pretty fast."

Yun Zheng smiled and looked at Feng Yu, "Okay, let's get on the horse first and talk while walking on the road."

"Yes!"

Feng Yu took the order and quickly got on his horse.

Soon, everyone rushed to Lingzhou.

After joking for a while, Yunzheng learned about the situation in Lingzhou from Feng Yu.

When it comes to business matters, Feng Yu is no longer so shy.

Lingzhou is actually a city.

Among the current 30,000 troops in Lingzhou, 20,000 are from the Beifu Army's hometown, and the other 10,000 were subsequently recruited from the Northwest Protectorate.

The equipment and combat power of the next ten thousand people are quite different.

In addition, there are more than 8,000 laborers in Lingzhou who volunteer to serve as corvees.

These workers are all poor people. Last year, Yuan Su expropriated these people in order to launch a war. Although Yuan Su died, the grain and money that Yuan Su expropriated were not returned to the people, which made the life of these people basically impossible. He had no choice but to go to Lingzhou to serve as corvee.

They don't dare to think about wages or anything like that. They just want to have a stutter and not starve to death.

These workers are usually responsible for repairing city walls, helping soldiers wash and cook, or helping war horses collect fodder.

As for fighting a war, we definitely can't count on these people.

After understanding the situation in Lingzhou, Yun Zheng asked curiously: "Since you settled in Lingzhou, Dayue Kingdom has not attacked once?"

"no!"

Feng Yu shook his head and turned to reveal a mysterious smile, "Rong Mo will give it a try first, and when we get to Lingzhou, we will take His Highness to see something interesting."

Interesting thing?

As soon as he said this, Yun Zheng became curious.

However, since he wanted to give up the truth, Yun Zheng stopped asking further questions.

"Is it true that Dayue Kingdom has accumulated a hundred thousand troops at the border?"

At this time, Shen Luoyan asked again.

"One hundred thousand may be a bit empty, but more than 80,000 is available." Feng Yu said: "Lou Yi also knows that we will launch an attack after the spring, and has been fully preparing for the war..."

They also don't know the detailed number of troops that Dayue Kingdom has hoarded on the border.

Since a month ago, large armies have been coming and going from time to time between the three cities of Dayue Kingdom.

They still don't know what the military deployment of those three cities is.

They had sent scouts to investigate before, but the scouts never came back. They were either caught or died at the hands of the enemy.

However, Dayue Kingdom has never sent any scouts to their side to investigate.

Now, Otsuki Kingdom is completely defensive and has no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

However, Feng Yu and Deng Bao were afraid that Lou Yi was trying to paralyze them, so they did not dare to take it lightly. They always maintained a high level of vigilance, even in the cold winter.

Listening to Feng Yu's words, Yun Zheng was even more curious.

What the hell is this building doing?

Do you really just want to use defense to consume their strength?

Although this is a good idea, based on the analysis of Lou Yi's previous actions, people like Lou Yi should not be able to defend honestly.

Maybe this birdman has already started to set a trap for them!

They chatted all the way and soon arrived in Lingzhou.

Feng Yu and Deng Bao originally wanted Yun Zheng and the others to rest for a while, but Yun Zheng saw that it was still early and he was curious about the interesting things Feng Yu said, so he decided to go to the border first.

Feng Yu had no choice but to lead his army to the border again with Yun Zheng.

The distance from Lingzhou City to Yudai River is almost thirty miles.

Less than ten miles out of Lingzhou City, there was a desolate landscape in front of us, quite like the Gobi Desert.

I heard from Feng Yu that this desolate land spreads across the Yudai River and goes more than ten miles deep into Dayue Kingdom.

"Is the Yudai River deep now?"

Yunzheng asked again.

"The water in the upper reaches is quite deep, but the water in most places in the middle and lower reaches is not deep."

Feng Yu replied: "Although it is the time when the ice and snow are melting, the Yudai River is different from other rivers..."

The soil on both sides of the Yudai River is sand and gravel.

This kind of soil is very barren, and if there is a lot of water, it will easily collapse in large areas.

Over the years, the surface of the Yudai River has become wider and wider, with more and more small tributaries, but the water depth has become shallower and shallower.

Due to the melting of ice and snow, the water flow of the Yudai River is actually relatively large. However, due to the accumulation of sand and gravel in the middle and lower reaches, the river surface becomes wider. The water is very shallow in many places, and only in narrow places the water level is deeper.

Listening to Feng Yu's words, Yun Zheng felt reassured.

As long as the water isn't deep, that's fine.

After galloping all the way, they finally arrived at the Yudai River.

The situation of the Yudai River is the same as what Feng Yu said. Some plants can still be seen on the riverbed on both sides of the Yudai River.

But above the river bank, it was a deserted scene.

Standing on the river bank, they could see the pebbles on the bottom of the river.

In a place like this, soil erosion is too serious.

After defeating Dayue Kingdom, we still need to manage this river!

While Yun Zheng was thinking silently, Feng Yu took out his clairvoyance and handed it to Yun Zheng, pointing to the other side of the river: "Your Highness, look over there!"

Yunzheng took over the clairvoyance and looked towards the other side.

Just one glance made Yunzheng's face turn green...
