In the handsome tent.
All the generals looked at Lan Yu.
But Lan Yu didn't speak immediately, he was thinking.
After a long while, he looked at Wuding Marquis Guo Ying and asked, "How much food and water do we have now?"
"General, we can still have enough food for about ten days."
"But water, there isn't much left."
Guo Ying replied.
In this vast desert Gobi, if there is no water, then these hundreds of thousands of troops will be completely ruined.
Lan Yu was under great pressure at the moment.
He knew it was time to make a decision.
This decision is related to the life and death of the 150,000 troops.
He looked at Yang Xuan, Wang Bi, Guo Ying and others in front of him, and decided to call all the generals below to discuss.
Soon, the handsome tent became crowded.
There's not even a place to stay.
Lan Yu spoke out the current problem and wanted to hear everyone's opinions.
Not surprisingly, the vast majority of people felt that they should retreat.
After all, food, grass, and water are almost exhausted now.
Going forward is a dead end.
Lan Yu was annoyed by their noise.
"General, we cannot withdraw."
At this time, Yang Xuan stood up.
Everyone also looked at him.
Lan Yu felt happy.
It was indeed his brother.
Because he didn't want to just withdraw.
Hundreds of thousands of troops crossed mountains, crossed rivers, and entered the vast desert. They paid a huge price to get here.
I really can’t bear to withdraw like this!
"Why?" Lan Yu asked.
"There is not much food and water left in the army, and there is no way we can support our return."
"Even if we can kill the war horses and drink blood to persist, how long can we persist?"
"This is a problem we have to face."
"If we encounter Bei Yuan's main force on the way back, there are no horses, and the soldiers are physically exhausted, then how can we fight Bei Yuan's cavalry?"
"I'm afraid that an army of hundreds of thousands will become lambs to be slaughtered."
"Besides, we have paid so much along the way, and how many brothers have been buried in the desert."
"If I just go back like this, will I be worthy of them?"
"Generals, are you just willing to go back like this?"
Yang Xuan said the last sentence to others.
All the generals looked ugly.
Are they willing?
Not reconciled, not at all!
But what if you are unwilling to do so?
We've all come this far, and we haven't even seen a ghost.
The generals quarreled again.
Lan Yu didn't speak, he observed everyone.
He knew that such a noise would be fruitless.
Should they continue to look for Beiyuan's main force, or should they just go back in despair?
Just in the moment of his thought.
It can be said that his next decision is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Once something goes wrong, he, Lan Yu, will be the sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, he was struggling in his heart.
Not willing to give in, really not willing to give in!
He finally understood that being the head coach of the first army was not that easy.
Unlike before, you just have to follow the coach's orders.
Gradually, the quarrels in the handsome tent stopped.
Everyone's eyes stopped on Lan Yu.
They are all waiting for Lan Yu's order.
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Yu suddenly raised her head and looked at everyone, with a firm light bursting out of her eyes.
"I have decided to continue looking for Beiyuan's main force."
"They're nearby."
"It won't be too far from us."
"Clean the desert in one fell swoop!"
He had no evidence, but he firmly believed that the main force of Beiyuan was nearby.
It was this self-confidence that gave all the generals confidence.
Yang Xuan had doubts about Lan Yu, but he chose to believe in Lan Yu.
Because Lao Zhu gave Lan Yu the task of destroying Beiyuan, he believed that Lan Yu could do it.
The army thus advanced again.
When the army came to the south of Yuerhai, the scouts from the front came to report and found traces of the Beiyuan army.
Lan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just find it, just find it.
The 150,000-strong army has almost reached its limit.
If we can't find supplies anymore, we will have no choice but to die in this desert Gobi.
Although we don't know how many people there are on the other side, as long as there are people, the army can get supplies.
This trip deep into the desert was not without success.
Lan Yu immediately organized his army to prepare for war.
And summoned a group of generals.
Shared the latest information.
Hearing that the traces of Beiyuan's army had been discovered, all the generals showed excited smiles on their faces.
When he looked at Lan Yu, there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
When they all wanted to retreat, Lan Yu chose to move forward, firmly believing that the Beiyuan army was nearby.
This once again proves the saying that the truth is often in the hands of a few people.
This time, Lan Yu is one of the few people who holds the truth.
Looking at the excited generals, Lan Yu decided to send a vanguard to take action first.
"Yang Xuan!" He looked at Yang Xuan.
"My subordinate is here!" Yang Xuan clasped his fists.
"I order you to be the vanguard and lead 50,000 cavalry to the northeast of Yu'erhai."
"Once you discover Beiyuan Camp, don't hold back and go all out."
"Strive to annihilate the Beiyuan army in one fell swoop."
Lan Yu said seriously.
"It's an order!" Yang Xuan said.
He knew that Lan Yu was taking care of himself.
Because both Wang Bi and Guo Ying are capable enough to serve as pioneers.
The reason why Yang Xuan didn't refuse was mainly because he wanted to fulfill his wish for his teacher.
Before departure, Lan Yu personally saw Yang Xuan off.
He patted Yang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's up to you."
"Brother, please don't worry, I will never let you down." Yang Xuan grinned.
Then he got on his horse, led the vanguard army, and walked away.
…
At the same time, fish on the northeast side of the sea.
Emperor Tuogu Si Timur of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was holding a banquet with his ministers.
Women from the Yuan Dynasty, as well as captive Han women, were waiting on the side.
Togu Si Timur and his ministers were all smiling happily.
They discovered it as early as the blue jade army set off.
Knowing that he was no match for the Ming army, he moved here early.
Togu Si Timur was not a fool. The previous battles with the Ming army were just small fights.
If you can win, fight; if you can't, run away.
But this time, Daming came for real.
It was impossible for him to go head-to-head with the Ming army and lose his own capital.
This place is deep into the desert, surrounded by endless Gobi Desert.
It is impossible for the Ming army to find this place.
Because the supply lines are too deep.
So, he is relaxed.
Now as long as the Ming army withdraws from the desert, he can continue to send troops to plunder the border.
But, he couldn't think of it anyway.
Lan Yu is the person destined to end his Northern Yuan.
He dared to lead an army of 150,000 men deep into the desert without supplies.
At this time, Togu Si Timur suddenly had a bad premonition.
He looked outside the tent and found that yellow sand was flying and the visibility was only a dozen meters.
In such bad weather, even if there are enemies, they will not launch an attack at this time.
He felt slightly reassured.
He raised his wine glass and laughed at the courtiers:
"Let's play music and dance!"
