Looking at the fire in the distance, Zhu Xiong frowned.
After thinking for a long time, he still could not understand why there were so many Northern Yuan cavalrymen just 50 miles away from Beiping.
There were many Great Ming troops stationed in Beiping, and they were so close to each other. Wasn't the expansion of the border afraid that the Great Ming army would eat up this batch of cavalry?
"Don't think about it if you don't understand. The situation is urgent. We should rush back to Beiping and report the news to the General.”
Tang Yalan was still very aware of the big picture. She did not mock Zhu Rong and patted her body, preparing to leave.
"Fifth Brother, what should we do?"
Zhu Di was like a headless fly.
"Big Brother Zhu Neng, Fourth Brother, let's go back to Beiping.”
Zhu Rong also stood up and walked back.
Tang Yalan was right. The only choice now was to return to Beiping.
So what if they figured it out? With just the twelve of them, could they possibly defeat the three thousand cavalrymen of the other party? What a joke.
Instead of guessing blindly here, it was better to tell Xu Da the news here. Perhaps everything would be clear.
.
After getting on their horses, Zhu Rong and the others rushed toward Beiping.
When the sky brightened, they finally returned to the Beiping camp.
Zhu Can left with his subordinates first, and Zhu Di followed.
As for Tang Yalan and Zhu Xi, they immediately entered the main tent and reported everything they had seen and heard a few hours ago to Xu Da.
"About 2,500 to 3,500 Northern Yuan cavalrymen appeared less than 50 miles north of the Great Wall.”
Hearing this news, Xu Da's expression instantly turned serious. He immediately went to the map.
"Ya Lan, point out the location of the Northern Yuan cavalry.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yalan's slender index finger immediately pointed at a certain place.
The middle point between Kaiping and Daning, this position was almost at the edge of Great Ming's control. It was really abnormal for the Northern Yuan cavalry to appear at this position.
"Ya Lan, what do you think about this?”
Xu Da knew very well that this niece of his had inherited the teachings of her father, Tang He.
However, to his surprise, Tang Yalan turned to look at Zhu Rong.
Tang Yalan said in a cold tone,"Weren't you thinking along the way? Did you think of anything? Tell me!”
Hmm?
Xu Da was stunned for a moment. He was very puzzled. Zhu Xiong was just a rookie who had just entered the battlefield. What did he have to say?
However, he quickly reacted.
There was a grudge between the two of them. Ya Lan probably wanted to see Zhu Rong make a fool of himself, so she deliberately pointed at him at this time.
Zhu Xi raised her head and rolled her eyes at Tang Yalan.
This woman was clearly trying to embarrass him.
"Haha!"
Zhu Rong sneered at Tang Yalan." I'm just a new recruit. What do I have to say?!"”
Tang Yalan was speechless.
She widened her eyes in surprise, obviously not expecting Zhu Rong to deal with her attack so rudely.
That's right, he was just a recruit who had just entered the battlefield. Wasn't it normal for him to have no opinions? This made her want to mock him coldly, but she couldn't open her mouth.
He could only glare at Zhu Rong fiercely, as if he still hadn't vented his anger, and then snorted heavily.
"Great General, although I don't know why this Northern Yuan cavalry is here, I think that our Great Ming can directly eat this cavalry.”
Zhu Rong looked at Tang Yalan in shock.
This woman was indeed violent. She didn't bother to investigate the reason and actually started fighting.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Xu Da asked with interest.
"Great General, now that General Li Wenzhong's army is deep in the grasslands and is locked in a stalemate with the expansion army, we can infer that this cavalry that suddenly appeared is clearly not the vanguard of the expansion army's attack on the Ming Empire.”
"Because he didn't have the strength to go south.”
" At the same time, this cavalry can't be bait. One of the reasons is similar to the previous ones. The other reason is that the expansion of the border doesn't know that we're bringing 100,000 troops north. After all, we haven't crossed the Great Wall yet. The Northern Yuan scouts can't find any news.”
"Therefore, the bidder believes that this is a lone army, and it will not be a problem for them to take it.”
Xu Da nodded his head in satisfaction. Ya Lan was indeed quite capable. If she trained for a few more years, she might really become someone like Hua Mulan or the female generals of the Yang family.
However, he was still a little immature now.
Just as Xu Da was about to speak, Zhu Rong's doubtful voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"How can you be sure that Kuo Kuo doesn't know about the existence of our 100,000 strong army?”
Tang Yalan gritted her teeth and glared at Zhu Rong." Do you think the northern border defense line of Great Ming is just for show? It's impossible for our scouts to cross the Great Wall.”
"Haha!"
"What are you laughing at!"
"Nothing. I just think you're quite naive.”
Zhu Xiong shrugged.
"Wu Wang, if you have something to say, please say it. Don't hide it and don't beat around the bush to scold people. This is not what a gentleman should do.”
Tang Yalan's expression had already turned completely cold.
If Xu Da wasn't present, he would have swung the long whip at Zhu Rong's face.
"Gentleman?"
Zhu Rong chuckled." I'm sorry, I've never claimed to be a gentleman. Compared to a gentleman, I prefer to be a villain.”
"Bah!"
Tang Yalan was so angry that she almost exploded.
She had never seen such a shameless person.
"Alright, just say it!"
Seeing that Zhu Xiong and Tang Yalan were about to fight, Xu Da could not sit still anymore.
"It's very simple. There's a spy! The news of the two armies heading north had long been leaked.”
Zhu Xiong shrugged.
As expected, when Old Zhu appointed Xu Da as the conquering general, Minmin Moore had already spread the news that the two armies were about to set off.
Not only did Kuo Kuo know that there were two armies going north, he might have even made preparations long ago and waited for the clash with Xu Da.
"Spies?"
"It's the Military Inspector. I wonder if Great General has heard of this mysterious organization controlled by Kuo Kuo.”
"No!"
Xu Da shook his head.
This time, it was Zhu Rong's turn to be surprised.
Xu Da actually didn't know about the Military Inspector. This was too shocking.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Rong felt relieved.
He was a transmigrator, so he had a natural sense of foresight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about the commander of the scouts, and he wouldn't have known that Minmin Moore was one of them.
After all, even the general under Kuo Kuo, Naier Buhua, didn't know anything about the mysterious organization known as the Military Scouting Sima, let alone Xu Da.
"Wu Wang, what exactly do you know?”
Xu Da's emotions instantly became agitated. Tang Yalan's beautiful eyes also looked at Zhu Rong in surprise.
"Actually, I know very little about this scout commander. I only know that there is such an organization under Kuo Kuo. Not only has it infiltrated our Great Ming, but it has even infiltrated Yilibali and the surrounding countries.”
Zhu Rong spread his hands, his expression as if he didn't know either.
He only knew a few people. To be honest, he did not want to hand over Minmin Moore. As for Ulan Tuya, she was Minmin Moore's personal maid. If she was exposed, Minmin Moore would also be implicated.
As for Hai Bie, there was no need to mention him. He did not even know which corner he was in. It was useless to mention him.
