Chapter 1319 King Yan Takes Action

Lan Yu gave the order, and the army marched northward despite the wind and sand.

Seeing the soldiers lying on their backs, urging the horses to move forward with difficulty, King Zhu Fan of Jin finally understood why Lao Liu had to defy all opinions and let Lan Yu be the commander-in-chief.

If it were Fu Youde, he would never issue such an unreasonable order. Firstly, it was not in line with his steady style, and secondly, if he issued such an order, he would definitely attract criticism from the generals, thinking that he was deliberately harming others. In more extreme cases, they may even disobey orders.

But Lan Yu is the boss of the same hilltop as them. When he gives such an order, no one will think twice about it and will only focus on the task itself.

"By the way, which troops have been sent out for investigation?" he asked Ping An, who had just returned from the meeting.

"Miyun Guard, Jizhou Guard, Zhending Guard and Yanshan Left Guard." Pingan said.

"What, there are still Yanshan left guards?" Zhu Fan wiped away his lazy expression and asked, "Have they set off?"

"Set off with the army." Ping An said.

"Damn it, you didn't tell me earlier!" Zhu Fan slapped his thigh, hating himself for oversleeping this morning and not attending the meeting.

Otherwise, Lan Yu will definitely be asked to replace Yanshan's left back...

~~

No matter how upset Zhu Fan was, it was too late. At this time, Zhu Di and his Yanshan left guard were already dozens of miles away from the main force.

Their mission is to search the northeastern part of Yu'erhai, and they will definitely not be able to reach the target area today.

"Your Majesty, is Lan Yu crazy?" Xue Liu, the Qianhu who is responsible for protecting him next to King Yan, couldn't help but asked: "If we are sent out in this kind of ghost weather, can we find a ghost?!"

"Haha, what if he is a general and you are just a small Qianhu?" Zhu Di smiled and said: "A general has to do the opposite sometimes. If it were me, the king, I would give the same order."

"Ah?" Xue Liu said in surprise: "What if the Beiyuan court ran away long ago?"

"What if he didn't run away? Can you understand the danger of wealth?" Zhu Di opened his mouth to laugh, but took a mouthful of sand. He quickly covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Besides, he is not unfounded."

"Oh, what's the basis?" Xue Liu asked curiously.

"Look at the cow and sheep dung that can be seen everywhere on this road, which shows that a large group of people and horses have indeed passed here." Zhu Di pointed to the densely packed livestock dung on the ground and said: "This is not a small tribe."

"Yes." Xue Liu nodded, got off his horse, picked up a few sheep dung eggs, crushed them and looked at them: "It's a pity that they are completely dry. It seems that a long time has passed."

"That's hard to say." Zhang Yu interjected at this time: "I have lived on the grassland for several years. In this dry season, cow and sheep dung can turn into this in two days."

He was originally a minister of the Yuan Dynasty. After retreating to the grasslands with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he became an official in the Privy Council, and later returned south to join the Ming army.

Of course, because of this period of history, I can only stay in the second-line troops such as the palace guards. Without a great opportunity, this will be the case for the rest of my life.

"Old Zhang, you have been in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Do you think they are still on this grassland now?" Zhu Di asked Zhang Yudao.

Zhang Yu thought for a long time and replied: "They should still be there. Naha Chu and the Mongolian tribes in the northeast are of great significance to the Northern Yuan court. The Northern Yuan monarchs and ministers cannot afford to lose them."

"Are they still thinking about recovering Dadu?" Zhang Yu's deputy Tan Yuan chuckled.

"That's not possible." Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "When I was in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they had completely lost their confidence in restoring the Yuan Dynasty and were only thinking about how to stay safe in Mobei. But there are Oara people in Mobei, and It is not easy for the Chagatai Khanate to survive, so they need Naha Chu and other tribes in the northeast to join the court and strengthen themselves. "

"Yes." Zhu Di nodded: "If Nahachu and the Northeastern departments go north, it will be a great strength for them." He said suddenly: "No wonder Nahachu would rather surrender than go north. Because he knows that once If you go north, you will be eaten, and there will be no chance of returning to the northeast.”

"So I think that based on my understanding of the monarchs and ministers of Beiyuan, they should sincerely accept Naha Chu's journey to the north and will not lie to him." Zhang Yu said in a deep voice: "Of course, the premise is that Na Ha Chu did not lie."

"Don't worry, the information Lao Liu asked personally will not be wrong." No one, whether Zhu Di or Lan Yu, has ever doubted the authenticity of this information, just because it was Zhu Zhen who asked it.

"That's strange. Why can't I find them even after searching all over the fishing sea?" Tan Yuan asked.

"I thought of a possibility." Zhang Yu guessed: "Beiyuan just said that he would help Naha out, but he didn't say that he would stay with him to help him. They could send a team of people to wait for Naha at the exit of Wandering Soul South Road. Hachu. This way the court can move freely without being affected."

"Is it necessary to do this extra thing?" Tan Yuan asked.

"It is very necessary." Zhang Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "During the years when I was in Beiyuan, Wang Ting was initially stationed in Shangdu City and Halahe Forest, but it was too easy to be attacked. The former was Yesudiel was burned down, and the latter was taken over by the general. From then on, the court had no fixed location, and would move every one or two months at most to prevent it from being found again. "

"Yes." Zhu Di, who had been silently thinking, said, "What Lao Zhang said makes sense. They probably spent too long in the fishing sea and decided to change places."

As he spoke, he looked at everyone with bright eyes and said, "If Lao Zhang's guess is correct, then I know where to find the Mongols."

"Wandering Soul South Road..." Zhang Yu suddenly said.

"Yes, the Wandering Soul South Road!" Zhu Di excitedly pounded his hands together and said, "We can't find the Northern Yuan Dynasty court, and Nahachu can't find it either, so they must have sent people to wait for Nahachu to arrive at the Wandering Soul South Road!"

He covered his mouth and laughed, "And those people can also play the role of gatekeepers, so the Northern Yuan monarchs and ministers can naturally rest assured. I just didn't expect that we accidentally bypassed the Wandering Soul South Road!"

"Hahaha, your Majesty is right, ahem..." The generals were overjoyed, and just as they were about to laugh and praise him, they also ate a mouthful of dirt.

"Then turn your horse's head quickly and grab the tongue with me!" Zhu Di pulled the reins and shouted proudly.

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison. After a while, the soldiers of the Yanshan Left Guard turned their horses' heads and galloped south along the horse road on the grassland.

And running south is a tailwind, not only the war horses run lightly, but also the people don't have to eat sand.

"Your Majesty, do you want to report to General Lan first?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Report to Lan Yu..." Zhu Di spat and said, "Let's see what happens first."

"Okay." Zhang Yu nodded helplessly. He understood what the prince meant. Unless the Yuan army was too large for them to handle, there was no need to report to Lan Yu.

He couldn't help but sigh, why did he follow such a messy master.
