Chapter 1322 Hailar

Xue Liu glanced at Zhu Di, who nodded slightly, then turned the knife aside, skipping the man's bare scalp, and went to chop the fourth one.

"I also know where Duoerzhi's camp is!" The man quickly confessed, "And Halazhang brought 30,000 soldiers and horses with him!"

"Oh?" Zhu Di waved his hand. Xue Lu's knife was pressed against the back of the man's neck, stopped, and cut off a tuft of hair on the back of his head.

"Did the Northern Yuan Dynasty still divide its troops?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." The man nodded and said, "Firstly, there are too many people and one camp cannot accommodate them. Secondly, the emperor is suspicious and cannot completely trust Duo'er, so he asked Harazhang to stay with him."

"Well, this is still of some value, so let me spare your lives first." Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said: "If the confession is untrue, I will make your life worse than death!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked someone to tie them up and go on the road together. As for the rest of the Yuan army prisoners, they were not so lucky. Although Zhu Di did not have the bad habit of killing the enemy and taking credit, he could not take so many prisoners on the road, so he could only let them return to the immortal world first.

~~

Tan Yuan drove the two prisoners for a whole day, and the horses were so tired that they collapsed, but he finally caught up with the large army.

At that time, Lan Yu was frowning there. If he finished his last meal today, the army would be completely out of food and would have to rely on killing horses to survive.

Although two to three hundred thousand pack horses can be used as rations to last for a while. Not only is horse meat unpalatable, but killing the horse itself will also lower morale.

He discussed with Wang Bi and Zhao Yong, and then found Kuo Lian Haizi. Kuo Lian Haizi had no one to teach him.

But the grassland is so big, it is entirely possible that the Northern Yuan court went elsewhere, and the chance of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse is less than one tenth...

However, as time goes by, the possibility of failure becomes more and more likely. Lan Yu rubbed her temples vigorously, trying to think of a way to break the situation.

"I thought of it!" Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and shouted to Wang Bi beside him: "Wandering Soul South Road, there must be a Yuan army on Wandering Soul South Road!"

Wang Bi was dozing off on horseback. When he heard this, he said cleverly: "How should I say it?"

"The reason is very simple, there must be someone to support Naha! Otherwise, he won't be able to find a place?" Lan Yu said excitedly.

"Well, that makes sense." Wang Bi nodded and said, "It's time to send someone there quickly."

"That's right, just to be on the safe side, you will lead the men yourself..." Lan Yu was just about to assign the task when he saw a soldier and his men hurried over and reported loudly: "General, the left guard of Yanshan has captured a prisoner!"

"What, captured a prisoner?!" Lan Yu's expression perked up, and she looked at the somewhat familiar officer and said, "Your surname is Tan?"

"Yes, Tan Yuan, the humble deputy commander of the Yanshan Left Guard, was ordered by our commander Zhang to deliver two prisoners to the general!" Tan Yuan said proudly: "They revealed the location of the Beiyuan Royal Court!"

"Oh, really?!" Lan Yu suddenly looked surprised and asked, "Where did you catch the prisoner?"

"Wandering Soul South Road." Tan Yuan replied.

"..." The smile on Lan Yu's face suddenly froze, and she paused for a while before saying in a low voice: "Bring the prisoner up first."

"Yes!" Tan Yuan waved his hand, and a sergeant from Yanshan's left guard pushed two tied-up Mongolian officers to Lan Yu. After Lan Yu carefully interrogated the two men and determined that their confessions were correct, he immediately ordered the entire army to march lightly towards Hailar!

The army then untied their pack horses, left their baggage on the bank of Yuerhai, and headed toward the northeast at full speed against the sky full of yellow sand.

~~

On the march, Lan Yu called Tan Yuan to him again and asked with an expressionless face: "The mission of Yanshan Left Guard is to search the northeast of Yuerhai, why did he end up on the South Wandering Soul Road?"

"Go back to the general." Tan Yuan told the story of the future, but he did not dare to reveal the news about his prince. He could only say that it was Zhang Yu's idea: "We, Commander Zhang, don't know if our guess is right or not, so we decided to go and take a look first. I reported it to the general, but when I arrived, I found that they only had a thousand troops. In order to avoid delaying the battle, I killed them first and then reported them. Please forgive me, general."

"You have to follow the authority, so what's the crime?" Lan Yu forced a smile and said: "I will not blame you."

"But it's not a sure thing with the Prince of the Supervisory Army." Hu Hai, the Marquis of Dongchuan, said angrily: "Disobey military orders and act without permission. If any Yuan army slips through the net and comes back to report the news, you will be guilty of a great crime."

"..." Tan Yuan is not someone to be trifled with. These royal guards are really not afraid of anyone. He retorted on the spot: "That's better than some people wandering around like headless flies, unable to find any hair every day."

"You!" Hu Hai suddenly changed his expression when he was poked in a painful spot: "How dare a little deputy commander dare to do the following?!"

"Okay!" Lan Yu scolded: "The war is coming, we must unite sincerely! Let's talk about everything after the war!"

"Hmph, wait!" Hu Hai spat at Tan Yuan.

"Just wait." Of course Tan Yuan was no longer afraid of him and spat back.

"Stand back!" Lan Yu's eyes narrowed, unable to conceal her displeasure.

"Yes, I will leave at the end." Tan Yuan clasped his fists and rode away.

"Look, the arrogant and powerful general led by the Fourth Brother is still so crazy after leaving his master." Hu Hai pointed at his back and said angrily: "If you don't give them some color, I really don't know how high the sky is."

"But I am right about one thing." Lan Yu glanced at Hu Hai with the same dissatisfaction: "You didn't find the Beiyuan Royal Court, but they did."

Hu Hai immediately blushed and became speechless.

~~

A discordant episode cannot affect the passionate main theme.

Lan Yu led the army to rush all the way and arrived at Hailar at dusk the next day, and joined the Yanshan Zuowei who arrived earlier.

Zhang Yu, who was covered in dust, came to pay his respects to Lan Yu, who was also covered in dust.

"General." Zhang Yu bowed his head.

"No need to be polite." Lan Yu raised his head: "How is it, did you find it?"

"Found it! It's in the valley twenty miles away." Zhang Yu suppressed his excitement and said: "There are at least 200,000 or 300,000 Aobao all over the mountains and plains!"

"The Duoerzhi tribe is not so large, it seems that it is indeed the Northern Yuan Dynasty court." Lan Yu slapped his thigh heavily and said: "Damn it, I finally found this bunch of rats!"

"How is their vigilance?" He asked again: "How many lines of defense have been set up?"

"The vigilance is very lax." Zhang Yu said in a deep voice : "Maybe the sandstorm was too severe, not even the scouts were seen. I led my men to Aobao Mountain, but we didn't encounter any guards."

As he said this, he presented two hand-drawn sketches and said, "The upper one is a map of the Yuan army camp drawn by me personally during my investigation. The lower one was drawn by the captives according to their memory, the general can compare it."

"Good, very good!" Lan Yu was completely relieved at this moment: "You have done a solid job."

However, the matter was of great importance, so he still had to check the place himself before he could feel at ease, so he asked Zhang Yu to take him to the Yuan army camp.
