"General!" The scout said with excitement on his face: "There has been a change in the Mongolian army, and many troops have begun to assemble in the direction of the Daming border pass. There was a loophole in their search. ”

"Really?" Zhao Yong's spirits perked.

"Really."

The scout nodded vigorously, his face tinged with excitement. At this time, scouts returned one after another, and the news they brought back was the same. The news soon spread throughout the camp, and all the Ming cavalry shouted excitedly. Zhao Yong couldn't help but look at Luo Xin, Luo Xin's slightly frowning brows had been stretched at this time, and a smile appeared on his face and said:

"Brother, this news should be true, not the Mongols. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Ma Butang who has taken action. ”

"You mean......" Zhao Yong perked up, "Ma Butang led the army to attack the grassland?" ”

"It doesn't have to be a real attack!" Luo Xin thought as he said: "Ma Butang should have made an attack posture first, if Alatan Khan ignored it, Ma Butang would launch a real attack and deal a heavy blow to Mongolia." If Alatan Khan responds, Mabutang will confront the Mongol army on the steppe, not necessarily a real attack, but only a chance to break through. ”

"So Alatan Khan has already responded?" Zhao Yong asked excitedly.

"It should be!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Alatan Khan should also know Ma Butang's thoughts, so he doesn't dare not respond, otherwise Ma Butang will transform the situation into a real attack." It's just that he won't have a real big battle with Ma Butang. After all, he had just been defeated and had a broken arm. There is no strength left to start a big war with the Ming Dynasty. All he could do was confront Ma Butang on the grassland. ”

"That'...... Wouldn't we have a chance to return to Daming? Zhao Yong stood up.

"No!" Who knew that Luo Qing on the side shook his head resolutely and said, "We still don't have a chance to return to Daming." ”

"Why?" Zhao Yong looked at Luo Qing puzzled, and Luo Xin also frowned slightly and thought about it.

"The Mongol army and Ma Butang confronted each other at the border pass, so that the road to the border pass was completely blocked. We don't have a chance to return to Daming. ”

"That'...... Isn't Ma Butang doing his work in vain? At this time, Zhao Yong also reacted in his heart, and couldn't help but show a look of frustration on his face.

"You can't say that!" Luo Qing shook his head and said, "After all, Mabutang has attracted at least half of the Mongolian army, so there are a lot fewer dangers around us. Although we still can't return to Daming, we have a lot more room to maneuver. We can continue to attack the Mongolian pastures, and even run into small Mongol armies, crush them, and kill them. ”

Zhao Yong and Luo Xinju both nodded, but their faces did not have the excited look they had before. The current situation is very clear, they just have more room to maneuver, but they still can't return to Daming, in other words, they can live a little longer, but the end is still death.

There was a sudden silence in the camp. There is no longer the euphoria of the past. Zhao Yong looked at Luo Xindao, who was deeply frowning:

"No, we really can't do anything?"

"I'm thinking!" Luo Xin rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Ma Butang led the army to attack and created a only opportunity for us, if we can't take advantage of this opportunity to return to Daming, we have only two ways to go." ”

"Which two paths?"

"One way is to die in the grassland, the other is through the desert."

Zhao Yong was silent, and a tragic atmosphere floated in the entire camp. Luo Qing suddenly said:

"Little brother, do you think Alatan Khan will personally rush to the Daming border pass to confront Ma Butang?"

"It's hard to say!" Luo Xin shook his head and said: "After all, this is not a real war, and Alatan Khan also knows in his heart that what Ma Butang wants is only confrontation." Neither side is ready for war, so it's possible that he won't go. ”

"How about if we take advantage of the gap in the Mongol army here, and we jump out of the gap and go straight to Alatan Khan?" Luo Qing's eyebrows showed a look of excitement:

"I don't think the Mongols would have thought we'd go to the south of the steppe. Because it's the lair of Alatan Khan, they don't think we're going to go into the trap. But we went there, and if there was any disturbance, all the armies of the whole Mongols would come back at once. In a hurry, the blockade of the steppe by the Mongol army will be full of loopholes, and our chances of returning to Daming will be greatly increased. If Mabe can strike at homeopathy, we will have a better chance. ”

Luo Xin and Zhao Yong glanced at each other. There was a spark in his eyes. Whether their trip is successful or not, it will definitely go down in history.

"If Alatan Khan comes out of his lair and goes to the Daming border pass, we will ambush him on the way. If he doesn't come out, we'll go straight to Kuku and Tun. ”

Kuku and Tun were new cities built by Alatan Khan in imitation of the lost capital of the Yuan Dynasty. The new city was completed in the third year of Wanli, and was affectionately called "Kuku and Tun", which means "blue city". Later, Kuku and Tuncheng gradually became the political, economic and cultural centers of the Mongolian steppe. It's just that at this time, Kuku and Tun were under construction, and there was a big construction site, and Alatan Khan's big tent was not far from Kuku and Tun.

Therefore, the current Alatan Khan does not have a real capital, and is still inhabited by traditional Mongolian tents. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which has a city to defend and is not protected by the city wall, as long as there is a strong army, it can completely attack the Great Tent of Alatan Khan.

"I'm not going to cross the desert and end up in a foreign land. Even if it is death, it must die vigorously! Zhao Yong said in a condensed voice:

"General Luo, no. I will leave you a hundred men, and I will take the rest to Kuku and Tun, and when the Mongol army has returned, you can return to Daming. ”

"No way!" Luo Qing said categorically, and his face was already red. But Zhao Yong didn't look at Luo Qing, but looked at Luo Xindao:

"No, you can't die! You understand my words. ”

"I understand!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "You are afraid that I will die in the grassland and affect Ma Butang." However, I could not go. ”

"No, you are just a literati, and fighting a war is the business of our warriors......"

"I'm not a pure literati!" Luo Xin smiled: "Does my brother think that I am a literati full of sourness? ”

"This ...... Of course you're not, but ......"

"This matter doesn't need to be discussed!" Luo Xin waved his hand categorically and said, "I won't say the reason, I won't leave anyway." And you can't get me back. I thought that Ma Butang didn't let me go deep into the grassland, but I could sneak in. Even if you can get rid of me temporarily, brother, I will find an opportunity to go to Kuku and Tun, then I will be more dangerous, brother, you can do it. ”
