This principle is not only understood by Han Du, but also by the people of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.
"The traces of the army coming here are too obvious. When the time comes, the Meng Yuan people will be able to follow the traces directly to us." Xu Chengfei spread his hands and helplessly imitated Han Du's movements and shrugged.
After all, no matter how fast a two-legged man is, he cannot outrun a four-legged man. If Han Du retreats southward, he will be overtaken by the Meng Yuan people in a short time.
"But it's different if we continue to go north. Although we have fewer people and are weaker, our concealment is also better. In this vast grassland, even if the Mongolian people want to find us, it will not be an easy task.
Unless we are unlucky and suddenly fall into the encirclement of several huge tribes, we will be safer than going south."
Han Du looked at the map and couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Xu Chengfei's view. "Going south seems to be safe, but it is dangerous. Going north seems to be dangerous, but it is safe. As expected, the views of professionals are different. Not only are they unique, but they are also clear and well-organized, and their analysis is penetrating."
At this time, Tang Ding also smiled and added: "Besides, there is another benefit to our going north."
"What's the benefit?" Han Du suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Ding in confusion. .??.
Although it is safe to go north, it is not without risks. This is going deep into the hinterland of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. If anything happens, you will really be besieged to death.
Walking to the map, Tang Ding pointed at a place and said: "Ying Guogong led an army of 100,000 to attack the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. To the northeast of him was the 150,000 army of Marquis Yongchang, so he would definitely not go directly north. In that case
They will collide directly with the army of Marquis Yongchang, and they will not be able to form a horn. Ying Guogong is like a god in his military, and he will definitely not choose such a restrained strategy. He will definitely maintain the momentum of a horn with Marquis Yongchang, and then lead his army
Conquer westward."
Han Du looked at the locations of Daning and Jinshan on the map, and nodded in agreement with Tang Ding's view. Indeed, Jinshan is already located in the extreme north, and even Sapphire will not go directly to the north, but to the northwest.
In the direction of conquering the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
When Tang Ding saw Han Du nodding in agreement, he continued: "Besides, we don't have to go directly north. After all, we don't have many people and strength. But we can go east and get closer to Duke Ying. As long as we can continue to fight with Duke Ying, we can go east."
If they echo each other from afar and form a horn, then we have nothing to fear."
After listening to their explanations, Han Du looked at the two of them respectively and saw that their eyes were full of determination.
Han Du nodded and smiled: "Okay, then let's go north."
At the same time, a fist hit an intersection in the direction of Ying Guogong's army.
"Someone is coming.
" Han Du yelled.
A soldier outside the door opened the curtain and came in.
"Send the order and give everyone one stick of incense to eat. After one stick of incense, the whole army will set off."
Just after Han Du led Shanzi Camp to continue heading north for a day, several fast horses came to check and then quickly headed west.
Two days later, Zhu Di's army was stationed in a depression with rich water and grass. There was sufficient water here, and the low-lying terrain was not easy to be discovered, making it an excellent location.
Several fast horses galloped towards the camp from the distant hillside, which immediately aroused the alert of the sentry on Wangdou, and the low and whimpering sound of the horn came from Wangdou.
When the guard of the camp heard this, he immediately became alert and looked up into the distance. After seeing only a few fast horses and no large army behind them, he felt relieved.
When the fast horses came closer, they could clearly see that they were our own people. The soldiers in the camp immediately pulled away the horses, allowing several fast horses to rush into the camp without stopping.
Zhu Di was sitting in the commander's tent and soon received the news from Tan Ma. When he heard that Han Du was continuing to go north with Shanziying, Zhu Di laughed twice, turned to Dao Yan aside and said: "It seems that Master
There were also times when I didn't expect it, but Han Du actually had the courage to continue heading north."
"Amitabha, it is true that the poor monk underestimated him. But from now on, it can be seen that this Han Du is indeed brave and resourceful. If he cannot be eliminated, he will definitely become a great harm to the prince in the future!"
Yan was famous for his uncanny calculations and won Zhu Di's trust.
But now that he was exposed by Zhu Di on the spot and there were mistakes in his plan, Dao Yan did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, it was as if he had not heard Zhu Di's teasing, and he just put the topic aside as usual.
As expected, people who can achieve great things are extremely thick-skinned, or in other words, they are simply shameless.
Dao Yan was able to win Zhu Di's trust, naturally not just because he was able to make clever calculations, let alone because of one mistake by Dao Yan, which made him doubt him and stop trusting him.
Han Du's sister is a princess, and you can tell with your toes that Han Du must be determined to protect Zhu Biao. No matter how much Zhu Di pays or how much effort he puts into it, he can't win Han Du over.
Even for those who had met Han Jingyun by chance,
For Zhu Di who met him, he had no thoughts about Han Jingyun in his heart. As a man, although it is too much to say that you fall in love with someone you meet, but for a woman like Han Jingyun, who has a beautiful appearance and superb intelligence, no matter who meets her
I will never forget it after that.
The same was true for Zhu Di, but he had always kept his thoughts deep in his heart and never mentioned it to anyone. But after he learned that Han Jingyun finally married Zhu Biao and became the princess, he suddenly felt guilty
Zhu Biao became angry.
To be honest, Zhu Biao treated his brother well, and Zhu Di once respected Zhu Biao. Even though Dao Yan encouraged him hard in his ears later, Zhu Di was never really moved.
But after learning that Han Jingyun was going to marry Zhu Biao and become the crown prince, Zhu Di suddenly realized that there are some things in this world that even King Yan like him cannot get, and can only watch helplessly hand them over to others.
.If he doesn’t want to let it go, then he must become the master of this world, just like his father!
Besides, in terms of resources and status, Zhu Di was not bound to give to Zhu Biao. Whatever he could give to Han Du, Zhu Biao could give it to Han Du. Even if he couldn't give it to Han Du, Zhu Biao could still give it to him.
Such a situation made Zhu Di have no naive idea of wanting to win over Han Du.
Since he can't be used by himself, he will be killed by himself! Zhu Di has never been an indecisive person. Even if Han Du is Han Jingyun's brother, he will not hesitate at all.
But how can it be so easy to let Han Du die?
Zhu Di just glanced at Dao Yan indifferently and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "My father personally issued an order to this king, telling me that I must protect Han Du Zhou, even if I have to withdraw my troops, I will not hesitate."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and sighed with pretense of compassion: "I was originally planning to let Han Du retreat in the face of difficulties, then turn back and go south. Who would have expected that he would rush towards the hinterland of the grassland."
Zhu Di's style can only deceive other people, but it cannot deceive Dao Yan. Dao Yan knows better than anyone what kind of person Zhu Di is, so he doesn't care at all about Zhu Di's sadness.
He directly stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty has worked so hard, and the sun and the moon can tell you. If the Emperor knew about it, he would definitely not blame you. And this grassland is in chaos, and even if something unexpected happens, it is not something that Your Majesty can control."
Isn’t it?”
After hearing Dao Yan's words, the look of satisfaction on Zhu Di's face flashed away. After that, he seemed to have not heard Dao Yan's words. He lowered his head and turned the book to himself. It seemed that there was more than just this book.
The beauty like jade and the golden house completely attracted Zhu Di's attention.
Dao Yan's eyes never left Zhu Di's eyes, and he could see the fleeting changes in his expression.
Therefore, Dao Yan didn't say anything more. He just stood up and bowed to Zhu Di with his hands clasped together: "It's late at night, so I won't disturb the prince's sleep, so I'll take my leave."
"Hmm~" Zhu Di didn't even raise his head, and just gave a vague response from his nasal cavity.
Han Du led the Shanzi Camp northward along the northeast direction. Perhaps because of his good luck, he only encountered sporadic small tribes along the way, not even a medium tribe, let alone a large tribe.
Several small tribes were easily wiped out under the iron hoofs of Tang Ding's cavalry, and Han Du's Shanzi camp disappeared from the grassland without even taking a step.
Han Du was riding on horseback, looking at the vast grassland with satisfaction. Judging from their experiences these days, Tang He and Xu Chengfei's advice was indeed brilliant. They concealed traces of the army along the way, and there were no traces behind them for so many days.
The Meng Yuan people who were following him made Han Du feel relieved a lot. The tribe he encountered was a small tribe that could be killed with one finger. Han Du wandered in the hinterland of the Meng Yuan people and found some people who were like a fish in water.
feeling.
The only thing that Han Du couldn't stand was the hard work of riding a horse. Although he occasionally rode a horse in the past, it was relatively short-term. It's not like now, where he spends twelve hours a day eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Staying on the horse all the time made Han Du's buttocks and thighs suffer.
Waves of burning pain came through, causing Han Du to grin involuntarily.
When Tang Ding saw it, he couldn't help but ride over and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Han Du gritted his teeth and held back.
Then he took a long breath, tried his best to divert his attention, turned his head to Tang Ding and asked, "Where are we now?" Tang Ding saw that Han Du was fine, so he did not continue to ask. He raised his head and faced forward.
After taking a few glances, I didn't see anything familiar.
Then he turned back and said to Han Du: "I don't know, but we are in the right direction. As long as we continue walking, we can always get news about Duke Ying. Moreover, we have enough food and grass, so we don't have to worry about not being able to go on."
Han Du nodded. The pain in his butt and thigh made him lose interest in continuing to talk. Tang Ding's experience reassured Han Du. Since he said it was okay, it should be okay.
