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

"Really?" Zhao Yong lifted his spirits.

"real."

The scout nodded vigorously, with excitement on his face.At this time, scouts came back one after another, and the news they brought back was the same.The news quickly spread throughout the camp, and every Ming cavalryman let out a low cry of excitement.Zhao Yong couldn't help looking at Luo Xin, Luo Xin's slightly frowning brows had been relaxed at this time, a smile appeared on his face and said:

"Brother, this news should be true, not because of the Mongols' suspicions. If I'm not mistaken, Ma Butang should have taken action."

"You mean..." Zhao Yong cheered up and said, "Ma Butang led the army to attack the grassland?"

"It doesn't have to be a real attack!" Luo Xin said while thinking: "Mabutang should make an attack posture first, if Alatan Khan ignores it, Mabutang will launch a real attack , deal a heavy blow to Mongolia. If Alatan Khan responds, Mabutang will confront the Mongolian army on the grassland, and may not launch a real attack, but just give us 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 what Ma Butang is thinking, so he dare not not respond, otherwise Ma Butang will turn the situation into a real attack. But he didn't There will be a real battle with Ma Butang. After all, he has just been defeated and lost his arm. He has no spare energy to start a big battle with Daming. All he can do is confront Ma Butang on the grassland."

"Then... don't we have a chance to return to Daming?" Zhao Yong suddenly stood up.

"No!" Unexpectedly, Luo Qing shook his head firmly and said, "We still have no chance to return to Daming."

"Why?" Zhao Yong looked at Luo Qing puzzled, and Luo Xin also frowned slightly and began to think.

"The Mongolian army and Mabutang confronted each other at the border, so the road leading to the border was completely blocked. We have no chance to return to Daming."

"Then... isn't Ma Butang's work for nothing?" At this time, Zhao Yong also reacted in his heart, and he couldn't help showing a look of frustration on his face.

"I can't say that!" Luo Qing shook his head and said, "After all, Mabutang has attracted at least half of the Mongolian army, so the danger around us is much less. Although we still can't return to Daming, there is a lot of room for maneuvering." , we can continue to attack the Mongolian pastures, and even encounter some small groups of Mongolian troops, defeat and kill them."

Both Zhao Yong and Luo Xinju nodded, but there was no previous excitement on their faces.The current situation is very clear, they just have more room to maneuver, but they still cannot return to Daming. In other words, they can live for a while longer, but the ending is still death.

The camp suddenly fell silent, and the previous excitement was no longer there.Zhao Yong looked at Luo Dao, who was frowning deeply:

"No, is there really nothing we can do?"

"I'm thinking about it!" Luo Xin rubbed his brows and said, "Ma Butang led the army to attack and created a unique opportunity for us. If we can't use this opportunity to return to Daming, we have only two ways to go."

"Which two ways?"

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

Zhao Yong was silent, and there was a tragic atmosphere in the whole camp.Luo Qing suddenly said:
"Little brother, do you think Alatan Khan will personally rush to the Daming border to confront Mabutang?"

"It's hard to say!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "After all, this is not a real war, and Alatan Khan knows in his heart that what Mabutang wants is just a confrontation, and neither side is ready for war, so he may not go. "

"If we take advantage of the gap in the Mongolian army here, how about we jump out of the gap and go straight to Alatan Khan?" Luo Qing's eyebrows showed excitement:
"I don't think the Mongols would have thought that we would go to the south of the grassland, because that is the old lair of Alatan Khan, and they thought we would not go into a trap of our own. But we went there anyway. Once there is a commotion, the whole Mongolia All the troops in the army will immediately return to help, and the blockade of the Mongolian army on the grassland will be full of loopholes in a hurry, and our chances of returning to Daming will greatly increase. If Ma Butang can take advantage of the trend, our chances will be even greater .”

Luo Xin and Zhao Yong looked at each other, sparks appeared in their eyes.Regardless of whether their trip is successful or not, their names will definitely go down in history.

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

Kuku and Tun are new cities built by Alatan Khan imitating most of the lost capitals of the Yuan Dynasty.The new city was built in the third year of Wanli, and it was affectionately called "Kuku Hetun", which means "green city".Later, Kuku and Tuncheng gradually became the political, economic and cultural centers of the Mongolian steppe.It's just that Kukuhetun is under construction at this time, and there is a large construction site there, and Alatan Khan's big tent is not far from Kukuhetun.

Therefore, the current Alatan Khan does not have a capital city in the true sense, and still lives in traditional Mongolian tents.Unlike Daming, which has a city to defend, without the protection of the city wall, as long as there is a strong army, it can go straight to Alatan Khan's tent.

"I won't cross the desert and live in another country. Even if I die, I will die vigorously!" Zhao Yongning said:

"General Luo, don't worry. I will leave 100 people for you, and I will take the others to Kuku and Tun. When the Mongolian army returns to help, you can return to Daming."

"No!" Luo Qing said decisively, and his face turned red.But Zhao Yong didn't look at Luo Qing, but looked at Luo Dao:

"No, you can't die! You understand what I say."

"I understand!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "You are afraid that I will die in the grassland and implicate Ma Butang. However, I cannot leave."

"No, you are just a literati, and fighting is our warrior's job..."

"I'm not a pure literati!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "Does my brother think I'm a sour literati?"

"This...of course you are not, but..."

"There is no need to discuss this matter!" Luo Xin waved his hand decisively: "I won't say the reason, anyway, I won't leave. And you can't drive me back. I think that when Ma Butang didn't let me go deep into the grassland, I didn't want to leave." I can sneak here. Even if you can get rid of me temporarily, brother, I will find a chance to go to Kuku and Tun, so I will be more dangerous, brother, you can figure it out."
