After retreating from Yuzhou City, Bai Yutian returned to the Chinese army's tent and waited for news from outside.
Inside and outside Yuzhou City, countless soldiers were busy putting out the fire.
Fortunately, there was enough water around, and the Zhou soldiers quickly suppressed the fire and gradually reduced the flames.
This monstrous flame only swept through less than 30% of Yuzhou City.
Bai Yutian looked at the fire of Yuzhou City in the distance, but his heart became more and more uneasy.
If Gu Chengxuan is let go this time, he may be in big trouble in the future.
The affairs of Yingcheng are at stake, and the rebels' affairs have not been resolved. The Great Zhou Dynasty is still in a state of turmoil.
Kou Wang, Guan Zheng, Xu Hu and others were all in the Chinese army's tent. Seeing Bai Yutian's expression, they felt a little ashamed.
If they could be stronger, they might be able to capture Gu Chengxuan and alleviate Bai Yutian's worries.
Bai Yutian raised his head, glanced around, and said, "The army will rest for a day and prepare to go to Eagle City tomorrow."
"Everyone has worked hard on this expedition."
"Originally we planned to eliminate the rebels and go back, but now the situation has changed and we need to continue fighting."
After speaking, Bai Yutian looked at Tang He and Fan Yonghao.
The two men and the troops they led were both new recruits, but they also played a great role in this battle, no less effective than Kou Wang Xu Hu and others.
"Tang He, Fan Yonghao, you have performed well. I will reward you well after I go back this time." Bai Yutian walked over and patted the two of them on the shoulders, making them feel flattered.
Tang He and others also quickly expressed their loyalty. They were generals, and it was their duty to fight for the Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhao Chuxue walked in, holding a letter and some pastries in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Empress of Tailin City, as well as some cakes sent by the Empress. I hope your Majesty will taste them."
Zhao Chuxue came to Bai Yutian and said calmly.
Yunqing!
Bai Yutian looked overjoyed. This expedition could be said to be the longest one he had gone on. He hadn't seen Yun Qing for a long time.
Now that I saw Yun Qing's letter, I was naturally very excited.
Kou Wang and others were also very sensible and took the initiative to leave the camp and give Bai Yutian his private space.
Bai Yutian opened the letter, and the handwriting on it was beautiful, like gurgling water, which made people's eyes light up.
Even before, the Yun family where Yun Qing belonged was considered a powerful person in the Zhou Dynasty. Although it had declined, it still had its heritage.
Seeing words is like seeing people. When Bai Yutian saw this letter, he seemed to see the gentle and virtuous Yun Qing.
The letter told many things, including missing Bai Yutian and supporting Bai Yutian.
The letter also specifically mentioned the two children Yunqi and Yunshu. They have grown up and are very smart and lovable.
"Qing'er, wait for me, I will go back soon."
Bai Yutian put away the letter, looked in the direction of Tailin City, and said with hope.
After thinking about this, Bai Yutian asked someone to bring paper and pen, and also wrote a reply to Yun Qing.
Bai Yutian was away on an expedition and could only rely on this method to communicate with Yun Qing.
Soon, the fire in Yuzhou City was put out, and there were basically no casualties among the people in the city.
Putting out the fire this time helped Dazhou win the hearts and minds of the people.
There was almost no obstacle to Zhou's control of Yuzhou City.
Next, Bai Yutian asked Xu Hu to guard here, and then took the others and rushed to Northern Eagle City.
Xu Hu obeyed Bai Yutian's orders, slowly regained the lost territory, appeased the people, and adopted a gentle policy.
The main force of the rebel army was basically wiped out in the first battle of Yuzhou City. What was left were either reserve armies or collateral armies, as well as some armies controlled by small and medium-sized aristocratic families.
After these people learned that Zhou Dynasty had won a great victory and eliminated the main force of the rebels, they still dared to resist. They surrendered to Bai Yutian one after another, and even killed officials of the original Dashun Kingdom to show their loyalty.
Regarding these, Xu Hu didn't bother to add any extraneous details, as long as they were willing to obey.
Within one day of Bai Yutian's departure, Xu Hu recovered nearly half of the land occupied by the rebels.
This speed is much faster than recovering the lost territory of the Nanchuan rebels.
At the same time, Bai Yutian led Kou Wang and others towards the north.
Yuncheng walked beside Bai Yutian, preparing to say goodbye to Bai Yutian.
Yuncheng's ability is not only on the battlefield, but also in governing the country.
Nowadays, there are many powerful generals and counselors in the Zhou army, so there is no need for Yuncheng to follow them.
Compared with the army, Yuncheng could play a more important role in Tailin City, keeping the rear of the Zhou Dynasty stable and preventing riots.
