The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes.

But the situation in the places along the way made Yang Chengying feel familiar.

He still did not leave this prairie, but passed through one prairie and walked on the way to the next.

And unlike what everyone imagined, the grassland was more bare.

Grass and water are precious.

probably knew in advance that Yang Chengying's army was going to pass by, and he didn't see the herdsmen along the way.

Only the herdsmen, who act as guides, relish the stories that happened in this land.

"This is Yi Lin, the Jade Dragon Stack of the Great Yuan back then."

The guide rode a slightly thin marching horse, turned sideways and introduced Yang Chengying, "Actually, Yulong and Yilin are all misremembering 'Eren'."

His name is Idamu, and he is a typical Mongolian man, with a dusty face and rough hands.

The cruel exploitation of him by the Mongolian nobles made him seem to be more than ten years older than Yang Chengying, although he was only one year older.

He was a slave of Noyan in the tribe of Tushetu Khan, married a woman three years older than him, and the two had a son.

But two years ago, in a tribal conflict, his wife and son were taken away, and he lost contact with his wife and children in the war, and went to Jining.

Because he is very good at horses, he was appointed as a veterinarian by Li Guoying, who was in charge of local affairs, and finally had a place to stay.

Yang Cheng responded to the Northern Expedition, because he knew the route into Mongolia, and like other Mongols, he became a guide for the army, and by the way, he wanted to find a wife and children.

"There's a salt pond near here, called Erenda Busannaor." Idamu continued, "Erren is what the Han people call 'mirage, and Dabu Sannaoer refers to the salt lake.'"

Yang Chengying nodded and said, "I know that this is the most important stop into Mobei, and it is the choke point connecting the Central Plains and Mobei trade routes."

Because "Erren" also has a transliterated name, called "Erlian".

This is Erenhot.

According to records, before entering modern times, tens of thousands of camels and hundreds of oxen and horse-drawn carts passed through here every year to enter Mobei.

Due to the sparse population, the rut marks are still evident today.

A sense of history comes to the fore.

"Yes. After this is the territory of the left wing of the Tushetu Khan's tribe, and the lord's name is Sonomu, and Tushetu Khan is a brother."

Idamu replied fluently.

This made Yang Chengying very happy, and promised, "If you behave very well this time, I will help you find your wife and children."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace." Idamu bowed on horseback and saluted.

With His Royal Highness the famous King Zhou in charge, he believes that he will soon be able to meet his wife and children.

"It's a trivial matter. When I establish the Ilin Station, you will manage it for me. I will also give you troops and horses and people to ensure the safety of this place."

Yang Chengying smiled slightly, glanced at Yin Wehu Tuketu, and said with a smile, "Master, you seem to be very unhappy along the way."

Yin Wehu Tuketu frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness is wrong, the old monk has always been like this."

"Oh?" Yang Chengying smiled, "A master is a master, and he is born with a compassionate appearance, unlike me who only thinks about how to take care of this place in the future. If you don't go back to Tibet, I'll build a temple here for the master and stay here to spread the Dharma."

If it weren't for the perennial walking outside and practicing a good riding skill, Yin Wehu Tuketu would have to die young on horseback, and said urgently:

"Your Highness, don't make such jokes, the old monk is timid and can't stand the scare. Besides, the old monk has not yet gone back to complete the entrustment of the Great Living Buddha in Tibet."

To be honest, the two Great Living Buddhas explained a lot to him before they came.

At that time, Yin Hu Tuketu thought very well!

He cooperated with the envoys to cover Gushi Khan.

Gushi Khan had no worries, and secretly attacked Tibet next autumn to cook raw rice and rice.

The emperor is far away, and it is too late for Yang Chengying to know.

I didn't expect things to change so quickly, first Lin Dan Batur died unexpectedly, and then revealed the true intention of Gushi Khan's "Nagong Minister".

In the end, Yang Chengying actually went on an expedition, but he went around and attacked Gushi Khan again.

Yin Hu Tuketu couldn't figure out why Yang Chengying did this. Until he found out that Yang Chengying had demarcated post stations along the way, and sent people to transport supplies to the west.

He finally understood.

Due to the lack of news, it was a month or two after Gushi Khan knew that Lin Dan Khan had died.

It was the depths of winter, and even if you knew, it was useless and unprepared.

The spring and summer of the following year is the season for concentrated farrowing of livestock, and there will be no military expansion.

Yang Chengying appeared in the Western Regions in that season, and still attacked suddenly from the north, completely catching the Heshute Department by surprise.

It's really cunning.

Yang Chengying originally made a joke with Yin Wehu Tuketu, but seeing that he was preoccupied, he didn't invite him to chat again.

"Where's General Marco?"

Yin Wehu Tuketu had a headache on the side, so he saw Yang Chengying looking around and asked.

"Back to His Highness, General Ma led the team to follow the vanguard, and it is estimated that he has already had lunch at the front."

Bai Guangen rode his horse close to Yang Chengying and hugged his fists in return.

"Oh, then you wait until he's done eating before you call him over." Yang Chengying said, "It's boring to march like this, so ask him to come over to relieve your boredom."

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

Bai Guangen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Chinese army is also about to have lunch, isn't it a bit ...... for you to call him here at this time?"

"What's this? He's already had lunch, and I haven't eaten yet. I don't envy him, even if he can't envy me?"

"That's the same thing, so I'll go and inform him."

"Go ahead."

"Hey." Bai Guangen was ordered to leave.

When Marco came, he didn't come alone. He specially brought three hundred family members from Xiningwei and him, and followed the learning experience along the way.

I did learn it this time, but it didn't work.

Unless you have the ability to have a spear that can hit a thief far away, and a man with four horses.

The most important thing is the food!

It would take many months to march with the vanguard against the wind, which in Mako's eyes could be a chore.

But the family members were very happy, what is it to run a hundred miles a day, let alone ride a horse.

Yang Chengying gave them two horses on horseback, with rations on horseback.

When it was time for lunch, everyone had a wooden bowl with hot and sour mutton soup in the bowl; Holding a flatbread in his hand, the dead dough cake baked with mutton fat the day before yesterday was put hard for two days.

But the house-din burrito was dipped in soup and ate it very happily.

A piece of pancake is rolled in two bites and eaten, and then another one.

A family member said while eating, "His Royal Highness King Zhou is open, and he has not treated us badly."

The surrounding family nodded yes and ate more vigorously.

Because in addition to pancakes, you can also eat pork every three to five days!

In addition, there were one or two catties of fried noodles, which they could eat when it was inconvenient for them to march, but they were all quietly hidden.

It is estimated that five or six catties have been hidden.

The reason for this is because the fried noodles of the Liaodong Army are added with almonds.

This scene made Marco feel dizzy.
