Xu Da's Middle Route Army has been missing, and even if the Yuan army has more than one large-scale exploration, it has not found any trace of the Ming army.

At this moment, Xu Da led the Middle Route Army, but it had already arrived near Helin, and the Yuan Army was dispatched, and the movement that poured out of the nest was too great, and the Middle Route Army also got relevant information.

Facing the Yuan army that poured out, Xu Da hurriedly issued an order to retreat.

There was originally an army of 50,000 people, but there were only about 40,000 elite generals left at the moment, and Xu Da didn't want to take risks.

Before he was sure of victory, Xu Da still wanted to wait for Li Wenzhong's Western Road army to smuggle over, and it was the right way to successfully annihilate the living force of the Yuan army on the prairie.

The retreating middle route army rushed out for a long distance, and saw that the direction of the Yuan army was not towards where its own army was.

Xu Da reined in the horses and pondered quietly.

Lan Yu and other generals also gradually came to Xu Da's front and discussed countermeasures.

"General, the Yuan army is pouring out, it doesn't seem to be coming at us, but there is also the possibility of conspiracy and trickery, so we must guard against it, and it is better to continue to retreat."

"Not really, since the Yuan army is dispatched, judging from the direction of its march, it must not be far from the headquarters of the Yuan army, and it is rich and dangerous, no matter what conspiracy it has, we will take its lair directly."

"It is still very possible to break through and capture Helin."

"Wait for a while, wait until the detective horse finds out the truth of the Yuan army and the purpose of its troop transfer, and then the others are careful and vigilant, and it is not too late to prepare for the conspiracy and tricks that the Yuan army may have set up."

"Yes, follow the general's orders."

Xu Da's Chinese army was slightly trimmed in the steppe away from the Yuan army, waiting for news of the scouts.

One by one, the spies were sent by Xu Da to the vicinity of the Yuan army, observing the movements of the Yuan army and taking on the role of spying on the reality of the Yuan army.

"Be careful, you can't go any further, just this dirt bag, put the war horse on the back, have a clairvoyant mirror in your hand, don't take risks."

"Yes."

After explaining this, the scout led by him quietly climbed to the top of the slope and raised his binoculars to spy on the Yuan army.

The same scene appeared in many dirt bags, but there were not many scouts sent by the Yuan army, which only served as a warning and gave the headquarters time to prepare.

Nearly 100,000 Yuan troops marched forward along the route, passing by one banner, and the scouts did not have the slightest impatience, but only passed the information of the Yuan army to the rear through the brothers on the side every once in a while.

I don't know how long it took, a group of people appeared in the Yuan army.

It is very different from ordinary sergeants, and it is very different from generals who have personal guards.

A carriage loaded with Luan drove slowly past, and a large number of honor guards carrying Huangluo umbrellas, sun and moon flags, and dragon and phoenix flags hugged each other.

The standard of the guards is also very high, which is obviously different from ordinary people.

The scout didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to pass the news to Xu Da in the rear.

"Report, news came from the scouts in front that there was a suspected Yuan Emperor's Luan frame in the Yuan army, and the report was known to the general."

"Got it, continue to investigate, be sure to find out the truth of the Yuan army, and then carefully see if the Yuan army has signs of migration, and whether there are old and weak women and children accompanying it."

"Yes."

The herald passed on the order given by Xu Da to the scouts in front of him.

The scout got the order and continued to lie behind the dirt bag, observing the Yuan army.

Until the Yuan army completely broke away from the scout's scope of exploration, he also passed the news to Xu Da and quietly followed.

"Report, the Yuan army has gone away, there are nearly 100,000 troops, and no old and weak women and children have been found."

"Got it, you go down first!"

The herald left, and Xu Da said to the generals gathered beside him.

"Now it seems that the Yuan army is not coming for us, what do you think?"

Lan Yu and a group of generals rode on their horses, thinking quietly.

Xu Da took out the map intimately, gave the soldiers a reference for himself, and gathered around the map, thinking about the purpose of the Yuan army's trip.

Soon, one of them had an idea and said to the map.

"General, please see, the direction of the Yuan army's march is near the Tura River, since it is not to migrate and escape, to Liaodong, it has another purpose."

"We're not over there, so there's only one truth, and another force has appeared in that place, and the Yuan army needs to go all out. Perhaps the army led by Cao Guogong was discovered by the Yuan army's probes, but it is not known. ”

As soon as the train of thought was opened, the eyes of the generals, including Xu Da, lit up.

"That's right, counting the days, it's really possible, but Cao Guogong inevitably came too soon, and there are still doubts."

"What doubts are there about this, in the previous war, the Yuan army lost more than 50,000 troops, and the nearly 100,000 troops in the past today must be the last strength of the Yuan army, there is no obstruction along the way, and it is still possible to arrive at this time."

"General, the last general thinks that when he immediately leads the army to follow, if Cao Guogong has arrived, under the front and rear attacks, the Yuan army will inevitably be unable to parry, and it will become history."

"Yes, since Emperor Yuan is in the army, if Emperor Yuan is captured at that time, it will be a great achievement, and the province will cheapen the army of the East Road."

That being said, Lan Yu has a different opinion.

"General, according to the last general, go back from the direction of its march, you will definitely be able to find the nest of the Yuan army, let's go all the way, it is not far from Helin, and destroy its nest, this merit may not be inferior to the credit of the Yuan Emperor."

Xu Da thought about it carefully, and what he said made sense.

Although the generals were not subject to foreign military orders, the established strategy agreed upon at the Yuwulou was that the Central Route Army attracted firepower, the Eastern Route Army smuggled in, and the Western Route Army contained it.

Let Li Wenzhong's Eastern Route Army fight hard, and if the car overturns, it will not be easy to explain.

"Lan Yu obeyed the order, and your department led 10,000 horses and horses to follow the path of the Yuan army, and if you find the nest of the Yuan army, you are allowed to act cheaply."

"The rest of the people, with the general to follow the Yuan army, if Cao Guogong is even there, under the front and back attacks, it is bound to be a success, and the north will have no worries from now on."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Xu Da's middle army was led by Lan Yu with 10,000 horses towards the Yuan army, and the rest of the military horses followed the Yuan army.

Trailing all the way, of course, I didn't dare to follow too closely, there was a long way to go from the Yuan army.

"Report, news came from the scouts that a large army appeared in front, and the Yuan army was divided into three ways and was engaged in a battle with it."

"Sure enough, Cao Guogong has arrived, where is Emperor Yuan?"

"It seems to be in the Chinese army."

"Pass on our military order, and the whole army will attack and take the Chinese army directly. Those who captured Emperor Yuan were promoted to three ranks, rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and thousands of acres of land, and captured other generals as an example. ”

As soon as Xu Da's military order came out, all the soldiers were boiling, and the reward for capturing Emperor Yuan was too rich, and no one could be an exception.

They rushed forward with a scream as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
