Chapter 263: I will let Your Highness send me
After Yun Duo arranged the villagers one by one, she quickly walked up to Yun Teng and said with a slightly serious expression: "Don't tell His Highness about this temporary decision to change the route for now. If he knows about it, he will definitely be worried. Go over and talk to Old Cheng, and ask him not to mention these things that happened in Yunjia Village to His Highness for now. Don't let His Highness worry too much."
After saying this, Yun Duo frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She was thinking about how to protect everyone in Yunjia Village.
Yun Teng nodded solemnly and then turned and walked towards the direction where Mr. Cheng was.
Cheng Yuheng, who was far away in Yanqi Pass, received a secret report from Tianyingge that the emperor in the capital already knew that he was still alive and in the northern border. He frowned and wondered who had leaked the news from his side so quickly. It seemed that he had to investigate his men strictly. He currently controlled the Zhenbei Army, the second prince's men, the people in the delegation, and even the information network in the northern border was in his hands.
According to his arrangement, during the time when the Second Prince was punished by heaven, Yunjia Village could almost reach Limu County, which was the closest to the capital. After passing here and walking south for five or six days, it would be able to leave the capital.
By then, the reinforcements from the Li family might have arrived, and with more than a thousand people from several villages, it would not be easy for them to take action.
At that time, if the old emperor and the Yu family got the news and wanted to harm Yunjia Village, they would have to think twice. Besides, my grandfather's trip to the capital would attract some of their attention, and the insignificant Yunjia Village would be safe.
He didn't expect that his news would be known to the capital in advance, which would put Yunjia Village in danger.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yuheng ordered in a cold voice: "Qiu Shou, send a message to the Tianying Pavilion and Disha Hall in all places, and make sure to do your best to protect the safety of the old man and Yunjia Village."
"Yes, Master, I will go right away."
"Dongzang, have Tianying go through the Yanqi City secret department and do his best to investigate who leaked the news that I am in Yanqi Pass."
As soon as Dong Zang went out, Han Lai's voice rang out outside: "Your Highness, Commander Li wants to see you."
"please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jinhuai pushed the door open, bowed simply and said, "Good news, Your Highness." Li Jinhuai had followed Cheng Yuheng for a while and was not so restrained. He came in, bowed simply and got down to business.
"Chen Yang and Shu Wang, the reconnaissance team that guarded them, discovered a large iron mine in Beiliang Mountain. Look, this is the topographic map they drew and the number of people there and their distribution situation." Li Jinhuai excitedly handed the map in his hand to Cheng Yuheng.
Although the hand-drawn maps by Cheng Yuheng and his team were not as clear as those printed out by a printer, one could still give a general idea of their appearance.
"Your Highness Chen Yang said in the letter that they also found an underground base similar to an arsenal. It was filled with corvée laborers that Wu Chuantong ordered local officials to capture in recent years. There were many Da Zhao soldiers guarding there, and they did not dare to act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy."
Cheng Yuheng looked at the map in his hand and pondered for a moment. "Commander Li, you see, Beiliang Mountain is north of Beizhou Prefecture. When the envoys went to negotiate, the exchange terms were Beizhou Prefecture instead of Northeast Province. Beili compromised after just a little effort. At that time, I knew that Beizhou Prefecture was what they really wanted. The three prefectures of Northeast Province were just a cover."
"So Your Highness asked Chen Yang and his reconnaissance team to go investigate?"
"Yeah!" Cheng Yuheng simply said "Yeah" without saying anything else.
"Commander Li, I just received a secret report that the Emperor already knows that I am in the northern border. Please check your people in detail. I suspect there is a traitor."
Li Jinhuai said angrily: "If this leader knew about this bunch of bastards, I would cut them into pieces. Your Highness, rest assured that I will catch this traitor.
Your Highness, isn't Yunjia Village very dangerous? According to the time, they are in Limu County, which is the closest to the capital. It will take another five or six days for the Li family's guards to meet up with them."
Li Jinhuai was extremely worried. They were just a bunch of powerless common people. If the imperial concubine in the capital sent Deadpool to deal with them, how could they resist?
Cheng Yuheng saw that Li Jinhuai was really worried, so he said: "Don't worry, uncle, I have sent guards to protect them. Besides, Duo'er is not a pushover. She probably won't mind a few deadpools. As long as she knows the news, she will be fully prepared. She may suffer a loss at that time."
Li Jinhuai was very skeptical about Cheng Yuheng's words. How capable could a little girl who looked so fragile be? In Li Jinhuai's eyes, Cheng Yuheng did not care too much about the life and death of the Yun family.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. Since ancient times, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. However, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Fortunately, before leaving, he gave his sister ten Li family guards. Together with the guards that Cheng Yuheng gave to Yun Duo, they can protect his sister and her children at critical moments. As for his brother-in-law, he is just a by-product.
Yun Qingsong: "Thank you so much, brother-in-law..."
"The current commander of the Zhenbei Army, Jiang Yuanchao, has led 30,000 troops to retreat to Zhongzhou Prefecture. The eldest prince of Beizhou Prefecture is currently stationed there."
"Killing Yu Chuanzhi is really a good thing for him. If it weren't for your foresight, the Yu family might have colluded with Beizhi and rebelled. The people there should be the Yu family's private soldiers. Now that we have found them, let's take them down.
How about taking this opportunity to put the blame of the Second Prince's fate on Bei Wei and giving Da Zhao the fake stone to murder the Second Prince?" Cheng Yuheng said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, Beiji's army of 200,000 is approaching, and there are 300,000 more on the way to Beizhou Prefecture. I'm afraid we can't resist with just a few tens of thousands of troops." Li Huaijin was worried that Cheng Yuheng would act rashly. He felt sorry for those soldiers who would lose their lives innocently.
"Uncle, don't worry. With the 30,000 Zhenbei troops plus your 50,000, I also have 60,000 Xuanming troops on standby." Cheng Yuheng was not afraid that Li Jinhuai would know about his Xuanming Army. Now the Li family and he were on the same front.
Li Jinhuai knew that Cheng Yuheng had soldiers but he didn't expect so many. He knew that there had been some movement in Yanqi Mountain recently, but because he knew it was Cheng Yuheng's men, he didn't ask anyone to investigate in detail. Knowing that Cheng Yuheng had so many people, he felt relieved. After all, he had put the lives of his entire family on the line.
Cheng Yuheng, watching Li Jinhuai's expression change from worry at first to relief later, continued: "There is also the drone that Duo'er gave us that can go deep into the enemy camp to gather intelligence. Coupled with the extra bows and crossbows, our soldiers can fight ten to one. It won't be long before Beizhou Prefecture will be ours. I also plan to expand the border line another 500 miles to the north to capture Daliangshan, which has been teased, and drive the gang back to the grassland. This can be regarded as a gift from me, the prince, to my father. However, my uncle still needs to help me find a source for my 60,000 Xuanming Army."
When Yun Duo left, she gave Li Jinhuai a telescope and a crossbow. He knew that they were good things. He knew that His Highness was making a lot of crossbows recently. So he knew that with these things, what His Highness said was not empty talk.
It is the wish of every military general to expand the territory, and Li Huaijin is no exception. If he follows His Highness to conquer Daliangshan, the Li family will be on a higher level.
Li Jinhuai pointed at the map in Cheng Yuheng's hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness, look at this. If you say that we have captured this iron mine, then we can say that it was the private soldiers of the Yu family that Your Highness has subdued. What do you think?"
"That's exactly what I meant." Cheng Yuheng looked at Li Jinhuai with admiration, his lips slightly raised.
Li Jinhuai stood up, clasped his fists, saluted, and said firmly: "I will be at your disposal, Your Highness."
Cheng Yuheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Han Lai, inform Generals Xuan Si and Xuan Wu to hold a meeting at the Yanqi Pass Commandery at noon tomorrow."
"Yes, master."
