Four days later.
Outside the southern city of Yanmen Pass.
Xu Da brought 50,000 elite cavalrymen to Yanmen Pass.
Looking at the towering Yanmen Pass, Xu Da nodded lightly.
Xu Da was still very satisfied with this march.
The original plan was to reach Yanmen Pass within thirteen days.
Every day, they would only march about two hundred miles.
However, for some reason, the condition of the elite cavalry under his command was very good. Their daily marching speed had increased by fifty to sixty miles.
In this way, the original thirteen days of travel was shortened by three days, and it only took ten days to reach Yanmen Pass.
Although ten days of continuous long distance marching had exhausted the fifty thousand troops, overall, it was already quite good.
Xu Da even planned to give his 50,000 troops a three-day holiday after they arrived at Yanmen Pass.
It could be considered a reward for the soldiers under his command for this long march.
Just as Xu Da had a smile on his face and was about to get the guards of Yanmen Pass to open the city gates…
The gate of Yanmen Pass opened by itself.
A group of Yanmen Pass guards, under the lead of the general, came out to welcome him.
"Commander Lu Heng of Yanmen Pass greets Great General!”
Xu Da looked at Lu Heng and smiled.
"Ji An Hou, long time no see!"
Lu Heng was an old subordinate of Xu Da, and had always been under Xu Da during the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Xu Da was naturally extremely familiar with Lu Heng.
Lu Heng heard Xu Da's way of addressing him and smiled embarrassedly.
"Great General, you must be joking. Without your guidance, how would we be able to bid today?”
"In front of you, I will always be your personal guard who only knows how to cover his head and charge forward.”
Xu Da laughed and said,
"Alright, you're already a marquis, there's no need to be humble. All these years, your only son has been guarding Yanmen Pass, and everyone has witnessed his achievements.”
"Whether it's me or His Majesty, we're all watching. Do well. After we sweep Northern Yuan, I'll ask the court for your merit and transfer you back to the capital.”
"Speaking of which, you and your wife haven't seen each other for almost five or six years.”
Lu Heng smiled honestly.
"Yeah, it's been five or six years. My kid is almost six years old. I really miss them.”
After the two of them reminisced about the past, Xu Da entered the main topic.
"Lu Heng, can the rations from the various roads be delivered to Yanmen Pass now?”
Lu Heng nodded lightly.
"We've all been sent here and are waiting for the Great General to inspect.”
"Oh right, the supplies that you transferred from the capital have also been arranged. The army can change their equipment when they enter the city.”
Xu Da subconsciously nodded lightly.
" That's good. Once the rations arrive, we can start the attack on Northern Yuan as soon as possible. It's not a big deal if the supplies are delayed…"
At this point, Xu Da suddenly felt that something was wrong. He suddenly looked at Lu Heng.
"What is it? What did you just say? The supplies from the capital have arrived?"
Lu Heng looked doubtfully at Xu Da's shocked expression and said softly,
"They've arrived. They arrived three days ago. Don't you know, Great General?”
Xu Da was stunned.
"Three, three days ago?"
Lu Heng nodded.
"Yes, three days ago, I was still puzzled. The capital's supplies had actually arrived at Yanmen before the army arrived.”
"Wasn't this arranged by the Great General in advance?”
Xu Da was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and asked,
"Are you sure it's the supplies from the capital?”
Lu Heng was at a loss.
"Of course I'm sure. The document is there. How can it be fake?”
Xu Da was really shocked. He hurriedly asked again,
"Who is the person delivering the supplies? Have you asked?"
Lu Heng looked at Xu Da's bewildered expression and his expression changed slightly.
"This person is called Zhu the Fifth. He claims to be the commander of the capital's logistics camp, the Great General.”
"If there are, mark it and bring people to arrest these people.”
Hearing this, Xu Da felt that his entire person was in a bad state.
Didn't that brat just leave the capital with the supply camp seven days ago?
How could he have reached Yanmen Pass at this moment?
Could it be that it had wings and flew over?
"Bring me to the supply camp."
Xu Da, who was bewildered, would definitely go and see if it was really that brat.
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, under Lu Heng's lead, Xu Da arrived at the entrance of a camp at the end of Yanmen Pass.
Before he even entered the camp, Xu Da heard Zhu Rong's familiar voice.
"Didn't you eat? You can't even run a hundred laps? Are you a woman?”
"And you guys, what are you looking at? If anyone can't finish a hundred laps, don't eat lunch!”
"Speed, speed! Speed up!"
When Xu Da stood at the entrance of the camp, he saw Zhu Xiong training the soldiers of the supply camp with all his might.
Xu Da was dumbfounded on the spot.
It really was Zhu Rong.
But how was that possible!
How did he do it?
With 50,000 cavalrymen and two horses, he only took ten days to reach Yanmen Pass.
And didn't Zhu Xiong bring the supply camp and delay them for three days?
How did they manage to run ahead of the army and even arrive three days ahead of time?
If that was the case, didn't this brat only take four days to rush from the capital to Yanmen with the people from the supply camp and dozens of carts of supplies?
But how was this possible?
Could it be that this kid really flew over?
At this moment, Xu Da was starting to doubt his life.
At this moment, Zhu Rong's surprised voice rang out,"
"Ah, Great General, when did you arrive at Yanmen? Why didn't anyone come to inform them in advance?”
It was Zhu Xiong who had coincidentally seen Xu Da and Lu Heng from the corner of his eye during training.
Zhu Rong let the people of the supply camp continue their training while he walked quickly to Xu Da and said with a smile,"
"Great General's army is indeed fast, it only took ten days to reach Yanmen, I really admire you!”
When Xu Da heard this, his face immediately darkened. He glared at Zhu Rong and asked,
"Tell me, how did you reach Yanmen Pass so quickly?”
Zhu Rong said with an aggrieved expression,"
"Naturally, I rushed here day and night.”
"We've been traveling day and night! The soldiers of my supply camp have all collapsed.”
"Look at my soldiers. All of them are pale and their legs are weak. It's so tiring for them to run a hundred laps around such a small camp.”
"They weren't like this in the past. Even if they were asked to run 200 laps around the Black Tortoise Lake, they would still be able to run down energetically.”
"Great General, you must reward us for our hard work!”
When Xu Da heard Zhu Rong's words, his face turned even darker. This rascal was spouting nonsense.
If he could believe these words, he would have to give up his position as the Great General.
As for rewards, dream on!
Seeing that Zhu Rong was unwilling to say anything, Xu Da's face darkened and he turned to leave without saying anything.
Seeing this, Lu Heng hurriedly followed.
Zhu Rong looked at Xu Da, who was walking away, and grinned.
"Goodbye, Great General!"
After confirming that Xu Da and the others had gone far away, Zhu Xiong returned to the camp.
At this moment, many soldiers of the supply camp were running while looking at Zhu Xiong.
Zhu Rong's face turned stiff."
"What are you looking at? Look at what you've become. I've let you lie flat on the carriage for four days, and you've actually caused me motion sickness!”
"Tell me, tell me, how crippled are you?”
After being scolded by Zhu Rong, the soldiers of the supply camp lowered their heads and continued their training without saying a word.
At the same time, Xu Da, who had walked far away, suddenly stopped and asked Lu Heng,
"Tell me, how did the supply camp reach Yanmen Pass?”
At this moment, Lu Heng could tell that there was something wrong between Xu Da and Zhu Rong, but he didn't dare to hide anything.
"They all came in carriages. Including the carriages carrying the supplies, there were more than two hundred of them. When this subordinate saw them, many of the people from the supply camp were sleeping in the carriages.”
Xu Da's lips twitched.
So she had slept all the way here.
Damn, he was so angry!
He had brought fifty thousand cavalrymen with him, and had braved the wind and slept in the open all the way to Yanmen.
They had brought a battalion of soldiers and dozens of carriages of supplies to Yanmen.
The main point was that the other party had left three days later than him, but had arrived three days earlier than them.
Six days had passed.
Even if a carriage traveled day and night, it wouldn't be so fast, right?
What kind of method did this brat use? He actually only used four days to rush from the capital to Yanmen.
At this moment, Xu Da's original good mood had long vanished into thin air.
Her face felt hot.
No matter what, this time, he, Xu Da, had lost a lot of face!
