In the past, Li Qing's intuitive impression of Lan Yu was that of an arrogant warrior.
Arrogant and domineering in life, rough and reckless in dealing with things, Lan Yu has never been associated with a general who can command the three armies.
But now, his inherent impression has been broken. Lan Yu is crazy, but he has the capital to be crazy. Putting aside his character and how to deal with people, when it comes to fighting alone, there is really nothing to say.
Let's just say that this wave is really thinner than a woman's heart, and it is completely different from the rough appearance.
Li Qing was a little embarrassed and kicked Hai Dongqing, who was dying, "You're already dead, why don't you roast it?"
Lan Yu sighed regretfully and said to the guard, "Put more seasonings and less salt."
Li Qing: "..."
After a while, Li Jinglong walked into the commander's tent, cupped his hands and said, "Commander Lan, Supervisor Li."
Li Qing returned the favor and said with a smile, "Deputy Commander Li came just in time. He just shot a few sea greens and they have been roasted. Let's have two drinks in a while."
Lan Yu glanced sideways at Li Jinglong and teased: "You have a really smart nose!"
Li Jinglong wasn't angry either, and sat down with a smile, "It's better to come early than to come by chance. It seems like I'm going to have a good meal today."
After a pause, he said to Lan Yu, "The commander has excellent archery skills, and his subordinates admire him."
Li Jinglong reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man. Li Jinglong's posture was so low that Lan Yu couldn't hold it any longer. He hummed, "I didn't shoot it down, it was Li Qing."
"Supervisor Li?"
Li Jinglong looked surprised, "I didn't expect Supervisor Li to have such magical power."
"Ah haha... You're welcome, you're welcome." Li Qing agreed, then turned to look at Lan Yu, "Commander, now that we have entered the Mobei Grassland, shouldn't we plan a route?"
The march route this time was different from the last time, and it was more in-depth. Nai'er Buhua's map was too rough. Without planning a suitable march route, Li Qing would really feel unsure.
"No need to put in that effort." Lan Yu waved her hand, "In the early stage, just walk along the river. Don't worry, I have thought of everything you can think of. I have also thought of things you can't think of."
"Please make it clear, Commander-in-Chief," Li Qing said with a smile, "You have to make me, the supervisor, feel at ease, right?"
A look of impatience appeared on Lan Yu's face, but thinking that Li Qing might snitch on him, she held back, "Okay, I'll teach you a lesson today."
Li Qing nodded, looking like he was being taught. Li Jinglong also sat up straight, raised his ears, and looked serious.
"What is the most important thing when marching and fighting?" Lan Yu asked.
"We are united!" Li Qing said.
What he said had another meaning, reminding the two of them to unite.
When Li Jinglong saw Lan Yu rolling her eyes, he knew that Li Qing was not right. He thought about it and said, "I thought it was morale."
"Bullshit." Lan Yu said with a speechless expression, "It's water, but without water, no matter how strong the soldiers are, no matter how fierce the horses are, they will have to rest.
Li Qing, didn’t you go on an expedition last time? Don’t you understand this? "
"Uh-huh..." Li Qingqian smiled and said, "Last time we had a very precise route. All the mountains, rivers and rivers during the march were covered, so there is no need to worry about it."
He really hadn't thought about this.
When Lan Yu heard what he said, she was immediately envious and jealous, "Damn it, why don't I have such a good life? Nai'er Buhua's map is too damn rough."
After Lan Yu said this, Li Qing realized the importance of water sources and hurriedly asked: "What is the commander's solution?"
He didn't know exactly how long the current river could be used. The map Nai'er Buhua gave him was so rough that he didn't even understand it.
"It's easy, just dig a well." Lan Yu said lazily, "I have already prepared a well-drilling team of hundreds of people, so we don't have to worry about water sources."
"What if we enter the desert and cannot get water?" Li Jinglong asked.
"You can think of it, how could I not think of it?" Lan Yu said lightly, "One of the supplies in the military supplies is oil and sesame. I have prepared half a liter per person. When the time comes, I only need to take out a few dozen grains and put them in It can quench your thirst to a great extent by putting it in your mouth.”
"How come I don't know?" Li Jinglong asked in surprise.
Li Qingxin said: Of course you don't know, you were recuperating at home at that time.
But he has nothing to be proud of. He has no idea that oil hemp has another effect.
Just listen to Lan Yu continue, "In addition, there are a lot of elk cakes. This Northern Song Dynasty snack has a slightly sweet taste and has a very good thirst quenching effect."
Li Qing was so ashamed that he thought the elk biscuits were snacks prepared for the army.
Li Jinglong said, "We have what people use to quench their thirst, but what about horses?"
"Don't worry, I told the emperor before we sent out the troops that the cheese to quench the thirst of the war horses will be delivered soon." Lan Yu said, "Any other questions?"
Er Li: "..."
Lan Yu is crazy, but so crazy that the two of them can't fault each other and are convinced.
"No problem, just go back and rest." Lan Shuai was leaning on the handsome chair with a stinking look on his face.
Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Commander, I haven't eaten yet."
I shot the Haidongqing, you want to eat it alone?
Lan Yu's face felt hot, but she said nothing more.
Soon, the barbecued Haidongqing was delivered. Lan Yu and Li Jinglong were so curious that they specially asked someone to bring a jar of good wine.
Haidongqing is so rare that it is the most precious thing among Yuan people. The value of a Haidongqing is more valuable than its equivalent volume of gold, which can be seen from this.
This brings great blessing to its taste. In fact, the taste is not much better than that of pheasant, but the two of them call it delicious.
After a while, the two sea greens were divided up by the three of them. Lan Yu was still unfinished. If it weren't for the big plan, he would have roasted the remaining one.
After the meal, the relationship between the three of them, especially Lan Yu and Li Jinglong, eased a lot.
Lan Yu clapped her hands and said with great satisfaction: "This time we are extremely well prepared for the battle. As long as we see the main force of the Yuan people, we will definitely kill them without leaving any trace behind!
The notice goes down and we will continue to advance in two quarters of an hour. "
………
With specialized supplies, the army marched extremely fast, more than twice as fast as Li Qing's last expedition.
In just over twenty days, we were less than a thousand miles away from our destination.
The army stopped to rest for half a month. The reason why it stopped for so long was to wait for supplies to arrive.
Half a month later, all the military supplies were gathered, and the army set out on the road again, but this time the marching speed was much slower than before, even slower than Li Qing's last expedition.
Without him, there would be too much military supplies.
The entire army was bloated, and the area occupied by military supplies was much larger than that of the army.
Li Jinglong shook his head.
Lan Yu didn't care much, and hummed: "The food is there, and the morale of the army is there. Now if you think it's in the way, you'll know it's delicious when you eat it."
"Ah, yes, yes..." Li Jinglong said perfunctorily, "The commander is right."
Lan Yu was too lazy to talk to him and remained calm.
Ten days later, we were less than 200 miles away from our target.
At night, Lan Yu ordered a group of light horses to wrap their hooves in cloth and go to find out the news. The army was stationed.
He sat on the grass in front of the commander's camp, looking up at the night sky, frowning.
This was the first time Li Qing had seen Lan Yu like this. Lan Yu had always looked like he was generous and determined to win, but now he suddenly had a stern look on his face and a dignified expression, which made him a little panicked.
"Commander, we will win this battle!" Li Qing cheered him up.
A big war is coming, and if the coach is not confident, it will have a huge impact on morale.
Lan Yu still frowned, and for a long time, she cursed in a low voice: "Mom, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you feel like something is missing?"
Li Qing looked around and didn't find anything missing, so he wondered, "What's missing?"
"Haitongqing!"
Lan Yu frowned and said, "It's true that this thing is rare, but the main force of the Yuan army, and the palace of the Bei Yuan Emperor, how come they don't have this thing?
Not to mention there are three or five, it is not uncommon to have thirty or fifty, but at such a close distance, but not one is encountered, doesn't this explain the problem? "
After being reminded like this, Li Qing also felt a little strange and pondered for a moment, "Even if there are thirty or fifty of them scattered in a radius of a hundred or even hundreds of miles, they are still very few. If we haven't encountered them, it doesn't mean anything." .”
"I hope so!" Lan Yu sighed, "We are not afraid of being beaten, but we are afraid of not being found. Even if the Yuan army breaks through and runs away, it doesn't matter. We can chase him, but if the main force of the Yuan army is not there, it will be great fun. "
Li Qing thought for a while and slowly shook his head, "Nai'er Buhua has already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. I don't dare to make fun of the Ming Dynasty unless he wants to live."
"Yes, that's true." Lan Yu felt a lot better after hearing what he said.
"If nothing else happens, there will be a decisive battle tomorrow, and maybe we will march in the middle of the night. You can go and rest." Lan Yu still frowned and murmured, "Bo Ren, you have a spirit in heaven, so you have to protect your brother. Bundle."
…………
The next day, it was dawn.
Li Qing was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by someone. Li Jinglong's face was extremely ugly and he said, "Supervisor Li, something big has happened."
"What's wrong?" Li Qing's heart sank, with a vague foreboding feeling.
Sure enough, what he was afraid of was what he was looking for. Li Jinglong said with a gloomy face, "The Qingqi vanguard has rushed back at night. The main force of the Yuan army is not in front of them. There is not even a person or a horse in sight."
"Then what's next...?"
Li Jinglong sighed: "The commander-in-chief has summoned the generals to discuss how to make a decision. Come with me!"
