Father can be an enemy to the country

Returning to Zhu Di and Ping An, after they reported the news to the base camp, they rushed to the Kerulen River day and night.

Then after walking southwest along the river bank for a day, the scout finally found the agreed-upon meeting point.

Zhu Di, Ping An and others immediately climbed up to investigate in person. Sure enough, they saw through the telescope a small steamed bun mountain at the bend of the Kullen River.

"This should be the snot mountain they were talking about..." Ping An concluded.

"It's Gotthard Mountain." Zhu Di corrected. He liked Ping An very much because this sworn brother was more illiterate than him.

"Whatever." Ping An said with a smile: "The camp in front of the mountain should be the person we are looking for, right?"

"Yeah." Zhu Di nodded and said in a deep voice, "I just don't know if they are all in there."

"That's embarrassing." Zhang Yu said softly: "Emperor Beiyuan is extremely cautious and may not wait for them here in person."

"Then we have to eat them first." Zhu Di said decisively: "Even if we can't find the Yuan Master, we can at least find out his whereabouts."

"It can also weaken his guard." Ping An agreed.

"Yes, that's still the old rule, do it at night. The work must be done neatly, and don't let them escape to report to the Yuan Lord." Zhu Di ordered.

"Understood." The generals responded loudly.

~~

At the fourth watch, Zhu Di led his army to launch a surprise attack on the Yuan army camp. This time, with the Security Bureau in charge of perimeter security, the Yanshan Left Guards were able to attack with all their strength and wiped out more than 2,000 people in the camp without leaving a single person alive.

But as Zhang Yu expected, the Yuan Lord was not in the camp. After interrogating the prisoners, it was learned that Togu Si Timur and Tianbaonu had crossed the Kerulun River and went to Hara and Forest first to join the right prime minister. They were left here to take care of the queen, the second prince, and other Mongolian princes who had escaped.

"Damn it!" Ping An yelled angrily: "Tougus Timur is such a bastard, he doesn't even care about his wife and children!"

"How many people are there around Togu Si Timur?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

"There are still three thousand timid Xue troops." Zhang Yu replied.

"There are so many people?" Zhu Di said in surprise.

"At that time, he only left a hundred households to support him here." Zhang Yu explained: "The ones we killed tonight are all Mongolians who escaped later."

"That's really cruel." Zhu Di spat.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Ping An asked.

"What else can we do? Chase!" Zhu Di said without hesitation: "Wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back now?"

"But Prince and Governor, we have already traveled at least six hundred miles. Isn't it too far?" Zhang Yu reminded the two of them.

"Even if you run a thousand miles, it's all in vain if you don't catch up." Zhu Di refused to look back.

"Your Majesty is right, isn't it a waste of time to chase after you now?" Ping An thought deeply.

"But our rations have been used up." Zhang Yu reminded the two guys who got the upper hand again.

"Isn't there food rations everywhere?" Zhu Di pointed to the dead horses on the ground and said, "Let the brothers quickly get the meat and make it into bacon jerky, and then search for food. These people are princes and nobles, they are fat. very."

"Yes!" Tan Yuan, Xue Liu and others responded loudly. Obviously, these warmongers did not want to go back like this.

"Alas..." Zhang Yu sighed helplessly. He often seemed out of tune with his surroundings because he was too normal.

"However, I still have to remind the prince that there are various signs that the Wara people have moved eastward, and we may encounter them." He took the trouble to say: "Our strength is only eight thousand, and we are no match for them."

Previously, Wang Zhen escorted the prisoners and took away his own Qianhusuo. Coupled with the combat and non-combat attrition since the troops were sent out, the two guards now have a total of 8,000 troops.

"If you encounter him, fuck him!" Ping An said nonchalantly.

"Haha, you're right." Zhu Di laughed and said, "I want to let the Wala people know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is!"

"I'm afraid that we will be taught a lesson in turn." Zhang Yu said helplessly.

"Don't worry, you can't escape if you can't fight?" Zhu Di comforted him, and then said calmly: "This matter is settled, let the soldiers hurry up, we will set off at dawn."

After a pause, he whispered again: "I guess my captors are already on the way. If I don't hurry up, I will be taken back."

"..." Zhang Yu was speechless, thinking that it's no wonder you don't want to go back.

~~

The soldiers of the two guards were agile and finished processing the horse meat before dawn. They used the captured live horses as pack horses, took the looted military rations, and headed straight across the river to the west.

That afternoon, Zhao Yong led people to chase him. When he entered the Yuan army camp, he saw only blood and dead bodies on the ground, as well as horse corpses with only skeletons left. The scene was quite terrifying.

"What the hell, how did you end up like this?" Even though Zhao Yong was used to seeing dead people, he was still frightened by the bloody scene created by the fourth child, which made his scalp numb.

"They must have used horse meat to make food." Governor Geng Zhong picked out a piece of burnt dried meat from the ashes, with traces of bamboo sticks passing through it. "I plan to pursue it to the end."

"Damn it!" Zhao Yong cursed: "Can the prince be so willful?"

"..." Geng Zhongxin said you are not talking nonsense. The prince is not willful, so it is your turn to be willful?

At this time, a soldier found a letter from the head of a Beiyuan prince and hurriedly handed it to Geng Zhong.

Geng Zhong took it and saw that it was a Ming army standard envelope. He tore open the envelope and took out the envelope. He saw that it was written by Zhu Di himself:

‘The Yuan Lord fled to Hara and Forest, and we are going to chase him. Tell the third child not to worry about him, he will come back when he catches him. ’

Geng Zhong gave it to Zhao Yong with a wry smile. After reading it, Zhao Yong cursed loudly: "Damn it, what if I can't catch you? Why don't you come back?"

"It's not that bad." Geng Zhong reassured him and then asked, "Then what should we do?"

"We don't have much food and grass, and there is no way to replenish it." Zhao Yong thought for a long time and said: "You take the large army back, leave all the food and grass for me, and I will take a hundred households to continue looking for people."

"I'd better go," Geng Zhong said, "I'm more familiar with the grassland than you are."

"Okay." Zhao Yong said obediently: "I have been in the west all year round, and I really have no idea about the situation in the north. Then I'll give you a hard trip, so be careful."

"Don't worry, we are here to find people, not to fight. We can still escape if we encounter the Mongols." Geng Zhong said with a smile.

"Okay, I will leave two more horses for each of you." Zhao Yong said solemnly: "When I saw King Yan, I told him that the general and King Jin had told him that if he didn't go back, he would be punished for disobeying the military order and he would be killed without mercy! "

"Yeah." Geng Zhong nodded, not sure if King Yan could be frightened.

After allocating supplies and horses, Geng Zhong and Zhao Yong parted ways. He led a hundred cavalry across the Kerulen River to pursue King Yan and his party.
