The Invincible Sixth Prince

Pingshan County.

Yun Zheng has received news that the reinforcements supporting Juzhou have retreated.

At present, Zhao Ji has stockpiled a large number of troops in Wuyang, Suizhou.

Yun Zheng was not surprised by Zhao Ji's reaction.

If Zhao Ji can't even see this situation clearly, he is not worthy of commanding an army of 200,000 or 300,000.

However, Yun Zheng did not take it lightly.

As soon as he entered Pingshan, he sent someone to give orders to Qu Zhi of Yaoxi, ordering Qu Zhi to keep an eye on the movements of Zhao Ji's troops at all times and be careful of Zhao Ji ordering his men to launch a sneak attack on them.

Zhao Ji was definitely not a general who only knew how to defend.

Otherwise, Zhao Ji would not have been the candidate to lead the expedition to Beihuan.

Yun Zheng still gave enough respect to Zhao Ji, the Confucian general.

On his side, he was able to control the situation.

I just don’t know what’s going on in the imperial city.

"Yun Zheng, Zhao Ji sent an envoy here!"

Just when Yun Zheng was worried about the situation in the imperial city, Miaoyin suddenly walked in quickly.

Zhao Ji?

Yun Zheng was stunned.

Why did Zhao Ji send an envoy at this time?

Could it be that Zhao Ji wants to surrender?

Coming back to his senses, Yun Zheng immediately ordered: "Have someone bring him in! Oh, and have someone bring Zhao Ke in as well!"

"it is good!"

Miaoyin immediately took the order and left.

Soon, the envoy sent by Zhao Ji was brought before Yun Zheng.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Ji's personal guard commander, Zhao Wu.

"I've met the prince!"

Zhao Wu bowed and saluted Yun Zheng.

"No gift!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "Who are you?"

Zhao Wu replied: "I am the commander of General Zhao's personal soldiers, Zhao Wu!"

"Commander of the personal soldiers?"

Yun Zheng was slightly surprised, "Zhao Ji sent you as an envoy, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Your Majesty won't."

Zhao Wu smiled: "To His Majesty, I am just an insignificant person. Killing me will not benefit His Majesty in any way."

Zhao Wu is still very confident about this.

Regardless of whether Yun Zheng is a traitor or a loyal minister, he is still a prince after all.

A prince with a large army under his command shouldn't be so lacking in vision.

Killing him would be too cheap for Yun Zheng.

"As expected of Zhao Ji's personal guard commander, he is not confused at all."

Yun Zheng nodded approvingly and said no more nonsense, "Tell me, why did Zhao Ji send you here?"

"General Zhao sent me to deliver a letter to His Majesty."

Zhao Wu took out a letter and said, "General Zhao, please read this letter and write a reply. I will take it back! If possible, General Zhao also hopes to meet with the prince at Shilipo for a detailed discussion!"

"I will read the letter first."

Yun Zheng was secretly surprised and took the letter from Miaoyin and opened it.

The content of Zhao Ji's letter is very short.

Zhao Ji just told Yun Zheng that he would strictly restrain the various departments and keep the troops in place, and also asked Yun Zheng to strictly restrain the various departments!

If Yun Zheng dared to continue advancing towards Suizhou or Liangzhou, Zhao Ji would definitely fight back resolutely.

In addition, Zhao Ji also warned Yun Zheng that if he dared to commit treason, Zhao Ji would fight to the last man!

At the end of the letter, Zhao Ji also expressed his desire to have a face-to-face meeting with Yun Zheng.

After reading Zhao Ji's letter, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel secretly puzzled.

According to what Zhao Ji said, it seems that Zhao Ji has not completely sided with the third brother!

What Zhao Ji did was clearly what a general loyal to the court should do!

Or is it that Zhao Ji is trying to paralyze himself but actually has other plans?

Just as Yun Zheng was thinking secretly, Zhao Ke, who had been detained for several days, was also brought in.

"Seventh Master?"

Zhao Wu was stunned when he saw Zhao Ke, then asked in surprise: "You are not dead?"

Zhao Ke is the seventh child in the clan.

Zhao Wu habitually called him "Seventh Master".

"..."

Zhao Ke's face twitched slightly, and he asked unhappily, "Do you really want me to die?"

"no no……"

Zhao Wu reacted and shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't expect that the prince didn't want the seventh master's life."

"I'm just a poor county magistrate, why should I be killed?"

Zhao Ke laughed at himself.

These are Yun Zheng’s original words.

He also thought at first that Yun Zheng would kill him.

After all, Yun Zheng had already spent money to buy his head when he besieged the city.

Moreover, when Yun Zheng led his troops to besiege the city, he stood on the city wall and cursed Yun Zheng.

But when he was tied up and brought to Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng did not kill him.

He asked Yun Zheng why he didn't kill him, and Yun Zheng responded with this sentence.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the county magistrate should be considered a high-ranking official.

But in Yun Zheng's eyes, it is really nothing.

In Yun Zheng's words, there are more county magistrates than turtles in the river, and you can grab a handful of them.

"Okay, you guys have met each other."

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Wu: "I am too lazy to reply to Zhao Ji. You go back and tell Zhao Ji that I will be waiting for him at Shilipo at noon tomorrow! If you have anything to say, we can talk in person!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Wu agreed, and then asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, did you bring the Seventh Master here just to let me take a look?"

"What else? Do I want you to reminisce about the past?"

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Go back and tell Zhao Ji that I didn't kill Zhao Ke! The reason why I didn't kill Zhao Ke is not because he is Zhao Ji's cousin, but because Zhao Ke is still loyal to his duties! Of course, Zhao Ke is also a fool!"

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Zhao Ke's face twitched suddenly.

Isn't this calling a bald man in front of a monk?

No, he was more direct than that.

He directly called me a fool by name!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Wu saluted Yun Zheng again, then turned around and saluted Zhao Ke: "Seventh Master, take care!"

After saying that, Zhao Wu left quickly.

Yun Zheng had clearly stated that he just wanted him to see Zhao Ke, so he couldn't ask for more.

Now we should hurry back and tell Zhao Shuai the news that the Seventh Master is alive, and also convey Yun Zheng’s words to Zhao Shuai.

"You still don't accept that I told you you're stupid?"

Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Ke, "You still want to force the people to help defend the city? If the people don't volunteer to defend the city and climb up the city wall, aren't you afraid that they will turn around and attack you? Isn't this stupid?"

"..."

Zhao Ke was speechless, and after a long groan, he said unconvincedly: "If you were not the prince of Daqian, even if you only had 2,000 troops, I would definitely be able to..."

"Stop bragging!"

Yun Zheng interrupted Zhao Ke directly, "If I were not the prince of Daqian, why would I bother with you for so long? Okay, take him away!"

Yun Zheng was too lazy to say any more to Zhao Ke, who was just a tool, and just waved to his personal guards.

When Zhao Ke was taken away, Miaoyin immediately asked, "Do you really want to see Zhao Ji?"

"Of course I want to see you!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, before going to Shilipo, I will definitely send people to carefully investigate the surrounding situation, and I will definitely not give him the opportunity to ambush me!"

"That's not what I'm worried about."

Miaoyin shook her head slightly, "I'm worried that this is Zhao Ji's delaying tactic!"

A delaying tactic?

Yun Zheng touched his chin.

Well, Miaoyin thought the same thing as him!

He had the same suspicion.

It's possible that Zhao Ji wanted to feint at him head-on, but actually sent troops to launch a surprise attack on Yaoxi.

Well, the situation is unclear at the moment, so I still need to remind Qu Zhi.

We must not take Zhao Ji, the Confucian general, lightly...
