Bai Yutian was shocked, obviously he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to take the initiative to ask for help.
For Zhao Zhen, Bai Yutian is very relieved. Zhao Zhen is loyal, and Bai Yutian's predecessor has personally tested it.
Moreover, Bai Yutian specially transferred Zhao Zhen from Shuimu Camp to Shenji Camp as deputy governor, with the intention of promoting this person.
This time, in addition to Marshal Zhenxi, Bai Yutian also personally appointed four generals, whose status was only lower than that of Xiao Li. They were all veteran generals before the Great Zhou Dynasty. The most important thing was that they were all absolutely loyal to Bai Yutian.
Zhao Zhen is one of the four generals.
The other three were An Chuhe, Yin Xi, and Zhang Ci. They were quite dissatisfied with Xiao Li before. Now that they heard Xiao Li analyzing the situation, they couldn't help but look high at Xiao Li.
"Zhao Zhen, this operation is extremely dangerous. Once discovered, you may die without a burial place. Moreover, you need to cooperate with the army's orders, if you wish." Bai Yutian said in a serious voice.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." Zhao Zhen still said firmly and asked Bai Yutian for orders.
Looking at Zhao Zhen's firm eyes, Bai Yutian nodded, "If this plan succeeds, Zhao Zhen, I will remember your first contribution."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
If Zhao Zhen and his team go well, they will definitely be able to deal a huge blow to Shan Nu.
After deciding on this plan, Bai Yutian divided his troops into two groups. One group was led by Zhao Zhen, and he broke into pieces and went to Anzhou. Then he entered Liangzhou from Anzhou and began to stand by.
The other route, led by Bai Yutian and Xiao Li himself, headed towards Xuzhou.
After entering Xuzhou, Bai Yutian and others accelerated their speed and arrived at the city where Jing Zhao was located.
When Jing Zhao heard that Bai Yutian had arrived in person, he quickly came out to greet him.
"Your Majesty came to the battlefield in person, and I was terrified." Jing Zhao said sincerely.
Regardless of whether Bai Yutian can fight or not, at least he really dares to come here, which represents an attitude.
Some of Jing Zhao's previous complaints against Bai Yutian disappeared at this moment.
"Thank you for your hard work these days, General Jing." At this moment on the battlefield, Bai Yutian also addressed General Jing directly.
Jing Zhao was flattered and quickly said it was okay.
Bai Yutian looked at Jing Zhao. Jing Zhao was a veteran general who was already over seventy years old. In a normal family, he was considered a very long-lived person and should have enjoyed his long life.
However, Jing Zhao is now on the battlefield, fighting hard with Shan Nu.
In fact, he had to face the capture of his young grandson, the betrayal of his teammates, and the support of a crumbling army with only one tree. It was not easy.
The people in the city had all been sent to the rear by Jing Zhao. He knew that after Shan Nu captured the city, he would definitely massacre the city. At that time, the ordinary people who stayed in the city would become the dead souls of Shan Nu.
Bai Yutian's personal conquest was so huge that it was inevitable that it would reach the ears of the Shanu people.
Shanu dispatched a total of 400,000 troops for this invasion. At this moment, there are 200,000 troops displayed outside the city, and there are also troops coming from far behind.
And the general marshal of these 400,000 Shanu people is none other than Cui Shou, one of the ten heroes of Shanu.
At this moment, he was sitting in the center of the military camp, with his lieutenants and generals below him.
Cui Shou is worthy of being one of the ten heroes of Shanu. Everywhere on his body reveals unspeakable domineering power, as if a mountain is pressing down on everyone.
There are many famous figures in the military camp. If taken alone, they are all heroes.
However, compared with Cui Shou, they are somewhat dwarfed. Whether it is military force or leadership ability, they are not on the same level.
"Everyone, what do you think of this situation?" Cui Shou said domineeringly, showing unparalleled domineering in his movements.
Cui Shou is most famous for his outstanding personal combat prowess. It is said that Cui Shou can even kill thousands of troops by himself.
"Commander, what if their dog emperor comes? As soon as our rear army arrives, they will immediately attack the city. I'll see how they can stop it." A slightly pudgy general stood up and said.
This person's status is not low, he is the second most powerful general under Cui Shou, Yan Xian. It was also this person who captured Jing Ling alive, thus gaining great prestige.
Although Jing Zhao continued to suffer heavy losses, he still had at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops under his command.
With Jing Zhao's talent, it is not difficult to use these soldiers to cause heavy losses to their current army of 200,000. Therefore, Shanu's army was delayed in order to wait for reinforcements from behind.
"General, our move is not to completely eliminate Dazhou, but to inflict heavy damage on Dazhou and gain some benefits from Dazhou. Therefore, I suggest that we send an envoy first to say that we intend to negotiate peace with Dazhou, and then
Come up with our conditions and see what the Emperor of Zhou has to say."
A figure in white stood up and said, his name is Cui Zian, he is Cui Shou's chief staff officer, and he has a very high voice within the army.
Cui Zian's words also made Cui Shou nod and start thinking.
Although they were advancing with great success, they still had some wishful thinking in trying to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty with this small force.
The land of Dazhou is vast and vast, and it cannot be conquered in a short time. It may even be held back.
If Bai Yutian hadn't arrived, they would have attacked the city and even occupied Xuzhou as soon as their reinforcements arrived.
But now that even Bai Yutian is going on an expedition in person, they have to think carefully about the pros and cons.
Although they have been victorious, they have also lost countless forces.
"Okay, let's follow Zian's method, but who should be sent as the envoy?" Cui Shou thought about the pros and cons, and finally agreed with Cui Zian's statement, but he didn't know who to send as the envoy.
At this time, Cui Zian smiled lightly, but took the initiative to stand up.
"Commander, I boldly petition to go."
"You!" Cui Shou frowned. Cui Zian was resourceful and eloquent. He could become one of the ten heroes of Shanu, making many generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty frightened. Cui Zian had indelible contributions.
Therefore, he didn't want Cui Zian to make any mistakes.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. Since I dare to go, I am absolutely sure that I can come back. Commander-in-Chief, you don't have to worry about me."
Although Cui Shou was reluctant in every way, Cui Zian insisted, and since there was really no one available, Cui Shou finally decided to let Cui Zian be the envoy to negotiate peace with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In Yicheng, Bai Yutian was discussing important matters with Jing Zhao, but he saw Jing Zhao's deputy general Xu Hu running over anxiously and saluted Bai Yutian.
"Your Majesty, General, Shanu has sent an envoy over, saying he wants to negotiate peace with us." Xu Hu said.
"Messenger?" Bai Yutian laughed dumbly. He had just arrived in Yicheng when Shan Nu sent someone over to discuss peace. Was this just settled?
At this time, Jing Zhao also looked at Bai Yutian. Bai Yutian was here. With these orders, he naturally had to ask Bai Yutian first, "Your Majesty, is the envoy seen or not?"
"Of course we have met, I want to see what tricks Shanu plans to do." Bai Yutian said with great pride.
