Chapter 270 This is all thanks to the equipment given by the mistress
Cheng Yuheng saw through the telescope that the Xuanming Army had successfully attacked the mine and captured alive the commander and three deputy commanders of the Yu family's private army who were hiding there.
Seeing their leader being captured alive, the other soldiers who had been hit by cartilage were powerless to resist and they all laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Seeing this, he no longer paid too much attention to the situation in the mine. He jumped lightly and landed steadily on the ground.
He was holding a telescope in his hand, looking through it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: If Yun Duo was here right now and witnessed with her own eyes how the Xuanming Army, with the help of the sophisticated equipment she provided, successfully captured more than 40,000 Yu family soldiers in just one day and one night, I wonder how she would react? Maybe she would smile so hard that her big watery eyes would be narrowed into slits.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a faint smile.
Qiu Shou used his tablet computer to observe the situation in the mine through the footage taken by the drone, and excitedly said to Dong Zang: "This is great. The Xuanming Army successfully captured 40,000 Yu family soldiers without losing a single soldier, and also obtained an arsenal."
Dong Zang, who was standing by, whispered to Qiu Shou: "It's because our prince has good taste that he found such a capable wife. It's all thanks to the equipment given by the mistress."
They praised Yun Duo, and Cheng Yuheng's mouth curled up and he was happy.
"Let's go! Go and take a look."
The two were so excited that they didn't notice Cheng Yuheng was behind them.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, when did you come down? Why was there no sound at all?"
Dong Zang patted his frightened chest and thought: His Highness's martial arts have improved again.
The mine is hidden deep in Beiliang Mountain, in an extremely hidden canyon.
The entrance to the mine is hidden in the cracks of the cliff. It is extremely secretive. Many caves were artificially built on the cliff. The caves are connected by secret passages, which can reach different directions. The entire mountain is hollowed out. If it weren't for the drones, it would be difficult to be discovered.
Cheng Yuheng didn't quite believe that all the 40,000 Zhenbei troops had been killed. He felt that everything that had happened during this period was suspicious and was a conspiracy by Wu Chuanchuan and the eldest prince of Beizhi.
Now on the surface, Wu Chuanchuan is dead, but only he and a few others know that Yu Chuanchuan was secretly captured by his people and a dead person was found to disguise himself as him to replace him.
The news of Wu Chuandao's death was temporarily blocked by Cheng Yuheng, who only let a few of Yu Chuandao's deputy generals and confidants know to prevent them from disobeying Jiang Yuanchao's command. The news had not yet reached Yu's private army.
The reconnaissance team led by Yun Chenyang and Shu Wang was ordered to secretly search for the Yu family army in Beiliangshan. Using drones, they not only found the hidden Yu family's private army, but also found an iron mine privately mined by the Yu family and an arsenal that manufactured weapons on a large scale.
They hid in the surrounding area for a few days, found several exits of the secret passage, and guarded them closely. After the Xuanming Army arrived, they surrounded all the exits.
Yun Chenyang used a drone to spray a kind of cartilage powder developed by Medicine Master to the only water source. It is not fatal after taking it, but it will make people feel weak all over. The effect of the medicine will only last for one day and one night, and then it will recover automatically.
To be on the safe side, Yun Chenyang waited five hours after administering the drug before he controlled the drone to enter the mountain to check the situation. Only after seeing that most of the Yu family soldiers were weak and limp did Xuan Si and Xuan Wu order an attack.
After a not-so-fierce battle, the few Yu family soldiers who did not have traditional Chinese medicine were captured.
Yun Chenyang, using the route map transmitted by the drone, successfully captured the three leaders alive, which was an immediate achievement.
The Xuanming Army successfully conquered the mine and rescued many people who were forcibly taken to the mountains to work as coolies, as well as blacksmiths who were captured from the Northeast Province under the banner of the government and were forced to perform labor service.
These poor people finally regained their freedom and were full of gratitude to the Xuanming Army.
With the occupation of the mine, the large amount of iron ore mined and the various carefully crafted weapons all fell into the hands of the Xuanming Army.
This batch of supplies was undoubtedly a timely help for the Xuanming Army. Cheng Yuheng was worried about the lack of iron materials and manpower to make bows, crossbows and crossbow arrows.
Recently, through secret observation by drones, Beizhi has also sent several groups of people to search for this mineral deposit.
Beizhi has been secretly buying and selling weapons and food from Dazhao. In the past two years, Beizhi has suffered from drought, and the food it bought from Dazhao people has been purchased at high prices.
King Beizi bought and sold these at high prices, and after a long time he felt that he was being fooled by the people of Dazhao.
He secretly asked someone to investigate and found out that it was Yu Chuandao who sold them food and weapons.
Once they had weapons in their hands, they were not satisfied with just spending money to buy them; they wanted to take over the Northeast Province or the Northern Province Prefecture.
That way they would not only have food, but if their guess was correct, there should be an arsenal in Beiliang Mountain, then as long as they got it, they would no longer be short of weapons.
What Yu Chuanchuan could never have imagined was that Beizhi already knew that he was the one who sold them food and weapons.
Just after the New Year, as the weather gradually warmed up, the snow began to melt.
At this time, the Beizhi general Zhan Chouwu personally led an army of up to 200,000 Beizhi soldiers to the border and set up camp.
Not only that, they also often sent soldiers to the nearby border town of Dazhao to cause trouble and provocation, and the ridiculous reason they gave was that Beizi was suffering from a severe drought and needed to borrow some food from Dazhao to solve their urgent needs.
Yu Chuanchuan had already learned from the men who helped her contact the seller that Bei Zang already knew that it was he who sold the supplies to them. If this were to be known to other people, it would be a serious crime of treason and treason.
Fortunately, he never showed up in their transaction, so Beizang has no substantial evidence at present.
Faced with Beizhao's almost bandit-like behavior, Yu Chuanchuan did not dare to confront the other side head-on.
Every time the Northern Liberation Army came to provoke and demand food, Yu Chuan was afraid that his secret collusion with the Northern Liberation to sell weapons and food would be exposed. Not only did he not report the truth to the court, he also handed over part of the food to temporarily stabilize the other side.
The Zhenbei Army had a total of 70,000 troops. Yu Chuandao secretly dispatched Yu family's confidant Jing Quan to lead 20,000 troops into the mountains to hide with the 20,000 troops of the Yu family in Beiliang Mountain to guard the Yu family's secret base.
Zhan was not satisfied with the food delivered, and commanded the Beiji army to attack again and again, but the results were not satisfactory.
The construction of the Dazhao border town had begun as early as when Emperor Xuanyuan Junqing was the King of the Northeast. After careful design and construction, the city walls are tall and solid, and the defense facilities are complete. It can be said to be impregnable.
Later, when Li Wencheng served as the General Zhenbei, he further raised and reinforced the border town to enhance its defense capabilities.
Because of this, although the Beizhi army had attempted several small-scale attacks, they ultimately failed to achieve any substantial breakthroughs and were only able to obtain a small amount of food.
However, the Northern Liberation Army obviously did not give up. In addition to the military operations, they would often secretly send a small group of troops to sneak into the border town, and take advantage of the dead of night to burn, kill and loot the people in the city, making the local people panic and miserable.
In a large-scale attack by Beizhi, 20,000 Zhenbei soldiers were killed in the battle to defend the border town. Yu Chuanchuan realized that he could no longer conceal the truth, so he quickly wrote a letter to the court requesting reinforcements.
Zhan suffered heavy losses in this attack and was reported to the King of Beizi by the Second Prince's people. He was the uncle of the First Prince and was on the same level as the First Prince. He had obtained a military order from the Emperor before he led his troops to attack Dazhao.
He couldn't afford to lose the Beizhi army in this border city, so he forged a magic stone, saying that the one who got the magic stone would rule the world. He had someone pass the news to Yu Chuanchuan, and promised Yu Chuanchuan that if he could convince the court to exchange the Dongbei Province for the magic stone, he would not expose their secret transaction. As long as Beizhi got the Dongbei Province, he would help the second prince ascend the throne.
In this way, Yu Chuanchuan passed the news to the court.
What he didn't expect was that the emperor actually agreed to let the second prince come over for exchange.
In the eyes of the world, this incident was because the emperor doted on Concubine Yu and the second prince too much. In order to give his son a good reputation, he ignored the suffering of the people and gave away the land that his ancestors had worked so hard to conquer.
The people cried out in grief and cursed in their hearts the Emperor for being incompetent, Concubine Yu for seducing the monarch, and the Second Prince for disregarding the lives of the people for his own fame.
With this comparison, the people all remembered the late crown prince and the late queen, and how many good things they had done for the people when they were alive.
The people could not discuss these things openly, so they were spread secretly among the people.
There are also many old officials and common people in the court who don’t understand why the emperor, if he dotes on Concubine Yu and the second prince so much, hasn’t made them queen and crown prince for so many years.
