Chapter 560: Map

Now I don't know how long I've been running, and a trace of tiredness flashed on Hu Dulu's old face, but his spirit is still excellent.

"Why can't it be me?" Hu Dulu smiled heartily and said confidently, "Don't think that the old man is really so wasted! The old man has long known that the Mongols covet the Hetao and will come in sooner or later! Therefore, I started training this army early, and now it has finally come in handy!"

Zilong also didn't expect that Hu Dulu, who had become a waste, would be able to train such an elite army in advance.

In this way, the 30,000 troops carefully trained by Hu Dulu may only be slightly inferior to the 30,000 main forces on the Black Stone Cliff, and at the moment, Zilong can't help but have a little confidence in going south to rescue King An and Ningxia.

"Uncle Hu Dulu is really a timely rain! Originally, I was still melancholy, but now what should I do, I don't want Uncle to help me again!" Zilong also said happily.

Hu Dulu was about to talk again, but he saw three horses flashing out behind him, looking at them in turn, but it was not Wulangzi, Asli, and Wan'er, who made Zilong quite worried!

At this moment, Asli and Wan'er were quite close, the two were talking and laughing on horseback, even if they came out to see Zilong, Wan'er just nodded and smiled at Zilong without a trace, and then continued to chat with Asli.

And Asli also looked at Zilong a little shyly, although she was still full of love, she had calmed down a lot.

As for Wulangzi, he drove his horse to Zilong's side, jumped off the horse, hugged Zilong, and said in the original dialect: "Haha! I thought you were on the Black Rock Cliff, waiting for me and Brother Jiang to go back to the rescue, but I don't want to see you here now? What? The situation on the Black Rock Cliff is critical, can't you, the general of the Hetao, sit still on it?"

Gorouzi's Zhongyuan dialect is still a beginner, and it is quite jerky. Fortunately, Zilong was also a little accustomed to such strange Central Plains dialects, so he just smiled faintly, nodded, shook his head again, and said to Wulangzi, Hu Dulu, Asli, Wan'er and others: "I can't sit still, but I'm not here for the Black Stone Cliff!" Uncle, can you suspend the march, send a guard post, and let me talk to you!"

Hu Dulu knew that Zilong was not a person who didn't know the importance of the matter, not to mention that the Black Stone Cliff was Zilong's current lair, since the masters were like this, he also paid attention to it, but he was afraid that Zilong had some important things to say.

At that moment, he also looked directly at Gorouzi, nodded, Gorouzi immediately ordered loudly in the language of the Beji people, the 30,000 army immediately stopped, the large army rested in place, but the guard post ran out a few miles away, and even more, at this time, the sky was gradually clear, but Zilong faintly found that there were several black spots in the sky, and immediately smiled.

After the army stopped, Hu Dulu was also carried off the horse by Golangzi himself, placed in a comfortable soft chair, and everyone sat down around him before they all looked at Zilong.

Zilong also said aloud directly: "I'm here to take this army south to rescue King An of Ningxia, instead of continuing to go to the Black Stone Cliff!"

"Oh, why?" Hu Dulu was old and sophisticated, although it was also strange, but he was not too surprised, he just looked at Zilong and asked why.

Wulangzi was relatively young, his face was full of doubts, but Hu Dulu was present, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous, just stood behind Hu Dulu respectfully, waiting for Zilong's explanation.

Wan'er, who had been talking to Asli all the time, couldn't help but chuckle in her heart when she heard Zilong's words, and then looked at Zilong, her eyes full of inquiries.

Zilong took everyone's reaction into his eyes, smiled at Wan'er, and signaled her to be calm for a while, before he explained: "This morning, I heard some news from the enemy camp besieging Black Rock Cliff!"

At that moment, Zilong told the news from Wei Bin and Zhang Fu's conversation, the key point of which was to emphasize that Liu Jin had already raised several large armies, and calculated according to the hour, at this time, he was afraid that he had launched a siege on Ningxia.

After Hu Dulu and the others listened, their expressions were different. Wan'er was naturally worried, but because of the presence of these many people, she couldn't ask Zilong further, now that she no longer had the father of Master Wuxian, she really didn't want to lose the father of King An anymore.

As for Gorouzi, he was still shocked, but there was a little more puzzlement in his shock. Zilong guessed that most of the time he had not yet understood the significance of today's Ningxia relative to the Hetao.

And Hu Dulu, that is the real old Jianghu. After listening to Zilong's words, he looked solemn, and after pondering for a long time, he took the lead in asking, "Is the news true?"

"It should be true!" Zilong also thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "At that time, I was disguised and eavesdropping outside their tent. With my martial arts and vigilance, they shouldn't be able to spot me! So what they say should be true!"

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll take this 30,000 army and go south with you to rescue Ningxia!" Hu Dulu immediately made a decision and said directly.

Wu Langzi was a little puzzled, and also asked: "Father-in-law, now that the Black Rock Cliff is still trapped, our support army is as important as the Black Stone Cliff! Why do you abandon the nearby Black Rock Cliff and not save it, but go to rescue Ningxia, which is thousands of miles away?"

"You stupid, you've been with me for so long, and you still don't have a sense of the overall situation!" Hu Dulu was also a little angry, and looked at Asli who was smiling like a flower on the side, and said angrily, "Asli, you are still laughing, you can explain it to him!"

Asli stuck out her tongue, and then said: "Brother, why are you so stupid? Ningxia is now in our Hetao, but the relationship between the lips and teeth is cold! And if Liu Jin destroys King An of Ningxia, I am afraid that he will completely control the power of the Ming court, and then he will have the ability to blockade the entire border of the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, we will not be able to get any supplies from the Ming Dynasty, how long do you think we can last?"

Gorouzi, who was still a little ignorant, couldn't help but jump in his heart when he heard the words. Although he has been in the grassland for a long time, he also knows that there is a shortage of materials on the grassland, and many things have to be obtained from the Central Plains trade.

For example, salt, tea, iron and other related daily necessities. If Liu Jin really blocked the border of the Ming Dynasty, he was afraid that the Hetao would be in chaos without a war, and the Hetao General's Mansion, which had just been established not long ago, would immediately be abandoned by the tribes of the Hetao, and then overthrow and step down.

"So it's so critical!" Golangzi suddenly realized, touched the back of his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Then I also agree to go to Ningxia to rescue King An, and I will order a change in the direction of the march!"

While saying that, Wu Langzi was about to really go down and give the order, Hu Dulu couldn't help but shout: "Nonsense!"

"Ah, father-in-law, what's wrong?" Gorouzi saw Hu Dulu angry, and couldn't help but look at Hu Dulu with some cringe, and asked inexplicably.

"You elm head, do you really think that the Hetao is still monolithic, and our 30,000 troops can leave if they want?" Hu Dulu said angrily.

"This ......," Gorouzi reacted, immediately slapped his thigh, and said, "Yes! Now these thieves from Ordos and Yongxieb have come to Hetao and are making waves everywhere. Many tribes have been coerced and lured by them, and their stance has become a little strange! Now this grassland can be said to be full of the enemy's eyes, but it is not so easy for our 30,000-strong army to move!"

"You kid still knows something!" Hu Dulu sighed lightly and said, "Go get my marching map, let's make a good calculation with Zilong, take that road, and go to Ningxia is the safest and most convenient!"

"Oh!" Gorouko immediately obeyed the order and walked down, and after a short time, he walked over with a sheepskin map in his hand, and spread it out directly on the grass in front of everyone.

Zilong looked over with interest, but found that the map was quite rough, but the logo was extremely clear.

Among them, the names and locations of the tribes of the Hetao grassland actually jumped on the map, and it was a priceless treasure.

"Those green circles are where the tribes of the Hetao are located!" Hu Dulu explained, "The red circles are the various passes where the Hetao intersects with the outside world......!"

"Just what?" Zilong immediately asked when he saw that Hu Dulu was about to speak and stopped.

"Most of these passes have fallen into the hands of the enemy!" The enemy in Hu Dulu's mouth is naturally led by Wei Bin and Huang Yi, including the Ordos people and the Yongxieb people.

It's just that Zilong didn't expect that these Hetao communication routes with the outside world would all fall into the control of the enemy, so wouldn't this Hetao become a situation where people were shut down and beaten dogs?

At that moment, Zilong frowned, and said with some depression: "How did it develop to such a point?"

"Hey, the enemy's plan hasn't been a day or two!" Hu Dulu sighed and said, "If I don't have a special source, I'm afraid that I don't know that these passages have fallen into the hands of the enemy." ”

"That's it!" In reality, Zilong had to continue to plan countermeasures, and immediately asked, "In this case, if the uncle takes out this map, there must be someone to teach Zilong!"

"Haha! You're still smart Zilong!" Hu Dulu couldn't help but be extremely happy when he saw Zilong say this, "I, Hu Dulu, have lived in the Hetao all my life, and I know the size and path of the Hetao the most clearly! Now if I want to take this army with me, there are only two ways to go!"

"Please make it clear, uncle!" Zilong asked with a sincere fist clench.

"This first is to take the trade route between Ningxia and Hetao before!" Hu Dulu said directly, "This trade route just bypasses most of the passes, although it is a little rugged, but it is not a bad way!"
