Father can be an enemy to the country

In fact, Ping An was the most depressed. He insisted on bringing his brothers to join in the fun. Now, when they were suffering, of course, they could not shrink back, otherwise they would be scolded to death.

So he not only had to drink, but also had to drink in public, so that everyone could see that he was sharing the joys and sorrows with them. But he couldn't help but whine in his heart. He ate Ren Zhong Huang under the King of Qi two years ago, and now he drank Ren Xia Quan with Lan Yu. His life was complete.

But he didn't expect that he had just drunk it in public, and he heard cheers from afar: "We found water!"

"Ugh..." Ping An almost vomited on the spot.

~~

As Lan Yu expected, there was also a water source outside the Wandering Soul South Road. The Ming army scouts searched for two days and found an underground spring sixty miles away from the military camp.

Speaking of which, it was Guan Tong's credit. After he searched fruitlessly on the first day, he saw that it was dark, so he had to camp on the Gobi Desert and continue searching at dawn.

Who knew that in the middle of the night when everything was quiet, he actually heard a faint sound of flowing water in his sleep.

At first he thought he was dreaming, but after waking up, he used the scout's quiver to listen to the sound, and this time the sound of water was even clearer!

Guan Tong and others were ecstatic, and used the listening pillow to search for the sound at night, and found the place with the largest water flow at dawn. Then they immediately dug, and in less than half a day, they dug out gurgling water!

Guan Tong scooped up a handful of water, tasted it without paying attention to the mud in it, and then happily announced in the eyes of everyone: "It's fresh water!"

Amid the ecstatic cheers of the scouts of the two tribes, the water rushed out, and soon overflowed the earth pit, flowing like a stream...

~~

When the army heard the news and rushed over, the scouts had continued to dig out four springs and led the water into a depression, gathering into a small lake.

The men and horses drank the lake water to quench their thirst, and the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days were swept away. Lan Yu took the opportunity to say loudly: "This is the blessing of the court and the help of heaven. It can be seen that this expedition is in accordance with the will of heaven and will succeed!" "God helps me, and it will succeed!" The soldiers cheered and their morale was completely restored to the peak. While the soldiers of each guard took turns to drink water, Lan Yu summoned all the generals to discuss the next step. It was completely different from the anxious and tense atmosphere last time. This time everyone was full of fighting spirit, and no difficulties could stop them! "General, after letting the soldiers fill up the water, we can immediately set off to return to Youhun South Road." Dongchuan Hou Hu Hai said loudly: "We have wasted so many days, we have to hurry up!" "No, that's why we can't go back!" Lan Yu shook his head decisively, and then waved his hand, and Liu Xiang placed a map in front of the generals. "Liu Kuishou and I have been discussing these days, and we have determined that as long as we continue to march northeast, we can still reach Buyuer Lake!" Lan Yu pointed to the huge lake and said, "It's nothing more than that we originally arrived at the east side of the lake, and now we may be on the west side of the lake."

"And the Yuan court is constantly moving, and we don't know whether they are on the east coast, west coast or north coast," Lan Yu said in a deep voice, "So as long as we get there, it doesn't matter where we get there."

"And there is another great advantage to this, that is, it's unexpected!" Lan Yu raised his voice and said, "Whether it's the Northern Yuan court or that Wu Wang Duoerzhi, in their cognition, there is only one Youhun South Road from the south of the desert. So they will definitely send out scouts and red troops to monitor the movements of this road."

"Yes, with our scale, if we follow the original route If we go, it will be difficult not to be discovered in advance. "Wang Bi nodded in agreement and said, "With the nature of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, once they find out we are coming, they will definitely break camp and flee as soon as possible." "That's because the Northern Yuan Emperor and his princes and ministers must run faster than rabbits." Zhao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Once they are alarmed, it will be too difficult to catch them. Moreover, if our army is running around in the grassland and can't catch up with them, it will be easy for the army to be tired and fall into their counterattack, which will be too painful." "So we will go diagonally from here!" Lan Yu pointed heavily at the red line on the map pointing to Bui'er Lake and said, "Only in this way can we avoid their scouts and unexpectedly kill in front of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!" "It's good, but what if there is a shortage of water on the road? We won't be so lucky every time." Huaiyuan Hou Cao Xing asked. "Then hurry up, day and night!" Lan Yu said decisively: "Reach the shore of Buihuerhai Lake before the water runs out!"

"No matter how far this road is, it's no more than 500 miles. It should be okay to arrive in four days, right?" He looked at the generals with a sharp look.

"No!" The generals hurriedly said in unison.

"You have to grit your teeth and overcome any problems!" Lan Yu said arrogantly: "You must arrive even if you don't sleep or rest! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The generals responded again.

"Go, fill all the things that can hold water with water, and set off at dawn tomorrow." Lan Yu looked at the darkening sky and cursed: "This thief sky, it's getting darker and earlier."

~~

Zhang Yu was also among the generals who had just held a meeting, but he had little influence and could only listen.

After the meeting, he did not return to his residence immediately, but found His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

"Hey, brother Zhang, what a rare guest." Seeing Zhang Hu bringing Zhang Yu over, the third brother smiled and greeted him.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty." Zhang Yu first bowed to the Third Brother, then whispered, "I have something important to report."

"Don't worry, these are all our own people." Zhu Fan said with a smile: "Why is it so mysterious?"

He does not have the consciousness of Zhu Di and Ping An. He is a supervisor and there is no need to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

So I drank only water all the time, and because the water quality was too poor, I even made tea for it.

"My prince is here too," Zhang Yu said.

"Pfft..." Lao San sprayed Zhang Yu with a sip of tea: "What nonsense are you talking about? Did he fly here with wings?"

"Either they flew here, or they followed us on horseback." Zhang Yu couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "Now he is in our army, under the pseudonym Hong Ji, pretending to be a humble soldier..."

"..." Zhu Fan's eyes flickered at first, and he immediately thought of a way to torment the fourth child, but after hearing the fourth child's alias, his eyes suddenly softened.

"Hong Ji, I miss my name so much..." Lao San muttered and repeated Lao Si's alias and asked, "Does he know you came to see me?"

"I know." Zhang Yu nodded: "I feel that the war is coming and I can't hide it anymore, so I want to tell General Lan about this, but the prince won't let me tell him. If you have to say something, just tell King Jin. Your Highness."

"You're right not to tell him." Lao San said calmly: "I understand, you can go back."

"Yes, I resign from my humble position." Zhang Yu responded and stepped back, his heart filled with astonishment. He never expected His Highness Prince Jin's reaction to be so... normal.
