As for this half hour, Zhao Cheng didn't do nothing, on the contrary, he did a lot of things.
He first asked his Taiping camp reservists to collect Cao Jun's armor and firearms and arm himself.
Although the 20,000 reservists are now very tired, they still have the strength to walk and shoot, but their condition is very poor.
But after just winning a battle, it severely stimulated the spirits of these people.
In addition to the 100,000 people, Zhao Cheng captured 20,000, and the rest were completely routed.
There were only 20,000 people. If Cao Zheng did not surrender, Zhao Cheng would definitely kill them all on the spot to prevent accidents. But now, it was handed over to Cao Zheng to take command again and gather the broken troops so that he could use Sun Yuantai's strength later.
Of course, although Zhao Cheng knew that Cao Zheng could not rebel again now, he still sent a team of 3,000 people and a general named Li Weiyi for supervision.
This man and horse, with Li Weiyi as general and Cao Zheng as deputy general, found a place to set up camp.
"Your Majesty, do you believe in me so much?!"
After hearing Zhao Cheng's order, it was Cao Zheng who was the first to question it.
After all, as a surrender, at this time, Zhao Cheng should normally take him with him as a hostage to control his generals and troops.
Among his 100,000-strong army, there are only 20,000 men belonging to the imperial court. The remaining 80,000 are either his private army or men from other forces. They all regard themselves as leaders, but do not recognize them.
Therefore, it is completely feasible for the imperial court to control the army by holding its leaders hostage.
At this time, if you directly hand over the general power, you will be in danger of being counterattacked.
"I can defeat you once, but I can defeat you twice. The first time I still have you waiting for a way to survive, but the second time it's gone."
"You are a smart man and know what to do."
Zhao Cheng spoke lightly, and as he spoke, his clear eyes seemed to glow with jade light.
A few years ago, he was still full of demonic power, but now, he has returned to his original nature. The whole person, on weekdays, not only does not give people the feeling of violence, but has a kind of gentleness of beautiful jade.
But there is no doubt that this is a powerful phenomenon. Just like in various myths and stories, only those little monsters and little demons have their teeth and claws open, and they look very ferocious at first sight, but those big monsters and old demons
, but on the contrary, he looks like a human being, a good person, even a humble gentleman.
Only when it eats people will it instantly change its original image.
"As long as you can make meritorious deeds, I will not treat you badly. Although it is impossible to be crowned king, with your wisdom, you may not be unable to become the central leader. Under one person, you are above tens of thousands of people. Because of this, all twelve states in the world will
You speak and move."
Zhao Cheng is skilled in painting cakes.
He naturally recognized Cao Zheng's talent.
And since he could tolerate even Wu Qi, he could naturally tolerate Cao Zheng.
Although Cao Zheng is a person who is unruly and has a disobedient heart, as long as you don't give the other party a chance, the other party can also be a loyal and loyal minister.
If the master is strong, the ministers will naturally be loyal.
If the Lord is weak, those who were originally loyal may become unfaithful.
There is no such thing as absolute loyalty in this world.
"My lord, take the order!"
After hearing this, Cao Zheng knelt down again.
When Da Cang was still the late emperor, he was already very skilled at doing this kind of thing, but he didn't expect that he would need to use it again now.
After arranging all this, Zhao Cheng took the Taiping battalion sergeants who had been preparing for half an hour and rushed towards the pass out of the Southern Wilderness...
From the time he came out of Lianshan to now, the entire time has only been one hour, that is, two hours.
Although the rocket launcher exploded and caused a huge noise, at the Tianjue Pass, one could at least see a little bright light and could not hear any noise. And seeing the bright light, a normal person would never directly think that a fight was going on here.
As for the people Cao Zheng sent to inform Sun Yuantai, even if they worked hard, it would take at least more than an hour.
It can be said that when Zhao Chenggang set out, Sun Yuantai probably didn't know the news yet, and it would take two hours for the other party to organize their troops in the middle of the night, send out troops, coordinate their troops, and send out scouts to investigate the situation.
And even if the opponent leaves the city, he will definitely rush directly to Cao Zheng, and from this place, the route to the pass and to Tianjue Pass is not the only one.
By the time Sun Yuantai reacted, it would be too late.
…
On the other side, things were indeed as Zhao Cheng expected. When Sun Yuantai, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the news, he was horrified but also overjoyed.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had prepared something there in advance.
After that, he directly thought of the possibility of annihilating Zhao Cheng's troops there.
If he could annihilate this soldier and horse, he would have won half of the battle.
At this moment, like Cao Zheng, he couldn't help but wonder, could this be the fate of the heavens?!
After all, destiny is real in this world.
Especially when marching and fighting, the party with destiny can always find divine help in many places.
On the contrary, there is no destiny. Earthquakes, heavy rains, floods...we encountered them one after another.
When Huang Tianjun failed to enter the Southern Wilderness, it was also because of the heavy rain during that time.
Thinking of this, Sun Yuantai could no longer sleep, and immediately asked his men to summon the leaders of all parties.
And the integration of his forces during this period also showed results.
It didn't take even two hours, but only one and a half hours, to gather 300,000 men and horses, planning to leave the city directly to destroy the enemy.
But when the large army pushed towards Cao Zheng in a mighty manner, a few soldiers emerged from the woods in a panic, stopped in front of the army, and shouted that they were Sun Yuantai's men.
Immediately, these people were brought to Sun Yuantai, and Sun Yuantai also recognized them. These people were his special agents specially placed under Cao Zheng.
After several people saw Sun Yuantai, they immediately shouted: "Commander, something bad has happened, then Cao Zheng has surrendered to the Zhao thief!"
"What?!"
When Sun Yuantai heard this, he swayed and almost fell off his horse.
"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?!"
Sun Yuantai barely stabilized himself and asked immediately.
"The Zhao thief came out of the mountains, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky, which was unstoppable. Meteors rushed out from the ground and bombarded the army. The entire wilderness was burned, which directly caused the army to collapse. Cao Zheng saw that the situation was not good and he surrendered..."
The few people spoke to each other and quickly described the situation clearly.
Hearing such words, not to mention Sun Yuantai, even the generals and leaders around him couldn't help but have different expressions at this moment.
"not good!"
At this moment, someone saw smoke rising from the sky in the distance.
"The barrier is under attack!"
"We've fallen into a trap!"
Someone shouted that just when they left the city, Cao Zheng's people sent a second piece of information, saying that the Zhao thieves had begun to retreat into the mountains and asked them to come quickly.
Seeing this, Sun Yuantai did not hesitate and immediately ordered the entire army to change direction.
However, before he had gone very far, he saw another person coming on horseback, and Sun Yuantai immediately felt a bad premonition.
"Commander, something bad happened. The Zhao thief attacked from behind, and the Great Yan Ancient Road has been lost..."
After hearing these words, Sun Yuantai couldn't stand the excitement anymore. His eyes blurred and he fell off the horse. Immediately, the scene was in chaos.
