"If we advance any further, the front will be too long!"
"Let's wait until General Xiao comes up!"
The lieutenants around Shi Gandang spoke one after another and expressed what was in their hearts.
Now, they are advancing alone. If they advance further, firstly, they are not familiar with the terrain, and secondly, they cannot keep up with the food, grass and baggage. If they encounter a war, the consequences will be disastrous.
Another thing is that the North Desert Royal Court's retreat is obviously tactical. No one knows what ambushes will be along the way, etc...
"General, think twice!"
Shi Gandang paused and felt that what everyone said made sense, so he said: "Okay, the whole army will stop and set up camp at the Royal Court of Beimo!"
"yes!"
Just like that, the Northern Expedition Army stopped at the Beimo Royal Court.
Set up camp.
and make preparations.
The whole army rested and boiled water for cooking...
At night, a wailing sound suddenly came from the military camp.
Most of these voices were from the Northern Army.
Shi Gandang woke up from his sleep. He rushed out of the tent and said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Several lieutenants rushed over, looking panicked, "General...General, something bad is going on!"
"Say!" Shi Gan's eyes were heavy with a solemn expression.
"Many...many soldiers, for some reason, have a lot of dense red envelopes on their bodies, and they also have fever, as if their whole bodies are on fire..." The lieutenants lowered their heads and reported.
I really don't know what happened to this unexpected situation.
Shi Gandang was frightened, grabbed the deputy general's collar, and shouted angrily, "Why is this happening?"
"Why?"
"General...general, we don't know either!"
"All of this happened so suddenly!"
"I……"
The deputy general lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head.
Shi Gandang pushed the deputy general away and tried to calm down his anger, "How many people are there now?"
"At least... at least there are 5,000 people!"
"What?" Such a number shocked Shi Gandang.
If it hadn't been told by someone under his command, he wouldn't have believed it.
One or two may be a coincidence, but if there are thousands of people, it is definitely not possible!
There must be a problem somewhere.
"Quickly, go find the military doctors and let them deal with it..." Shi Gandang suppressed the anger in his heart.
"yes!"
Screaming all night long did not bring peace of mind.
But it got worse.
This made Shi Gandang wait even more unbelievably and couldn't believe it.
As soon as day broke, the military doctor knelt down outside Shi Gan's tent and said, "Shi... General Shi, this disease seems to be a plague. The army should be separated now!"
No one present was unfamiliar with the plague.
Shi Gandang made a face, "Everything is going well, why did a plague suddenly appear?"
"this……"
The military doctor could not give a detailed answer.
Shi Gandang continued: "Okay, I will do as you say immediately. All those who are infected will gather together in one place!"
"yes……"
Shi Gandang was not idle and personally investigated the source of the plague.
Two days later, he may know the reason for the plague.
On a piece of grassland, there is a medium-sized river. Although it is crystal clear, there are all kinds of corpses floating on it, including people, cattle, sheep, jackals, tigers and leopards...
Various corpses were piled in the water, exuding an indescribable stench.
When Shi Gandang saw this, he immediately understood what was going on?
There must be something wrong with the water.
Their army arrived at the Northern Desert Royal Court and only cooked two meals before such a problem occurred!
Shi Gandang clenched his fist and said, "These people in Beimo are really worse than beasts!"
"go back!"
Immediately, he issued an order not to touch the river near the Northern Desert Royal Court.
The problem is in the water.
After everyone learned what happened, they were all shocked and regarded the water as a devil's abyss.
Then, Shi Gandang ordered someone to write a letter to Xiao Zhanming, telling his Zhenbei Army to be careful.
Moreover, if it is not necessary, don’t go through the Northern Desert Royal Court, just bypass it, etc...
Thousands of urgent letters soon reached Xiao Zhanming's hands.
He carefully read the contents of the letter, took a deep breath, and then waved his hand, "The whole army is divided into three armies: left, center and right. We will take a detour without passing through the Northern Desert Royal Court!"
"yes!"
The Northern Army's numbers increased to 20,000 in one night.
All those who are infected will be managed and treated in a centralized manner...
In response to this, each of them was filled with anger. Even though they could die on the battlefield, who would have thought that they would feel so aggrieved now.
Ahhh…
Many people are shouting and roaring in their hearts!
Shi Gandang waited and led the people who had nothing to do and had not drank the river water to leave the Northern Desert Royal Court.
Continue heading north.
Along the way, the people of the Northern Conquest Army did not dare to drink a sip of water.
Because there are lessons learned...
Therefore, many people are exhausted and unable to hold on.
Shi Gandang had no choice but to ask the army to stop and rest.
He ordered people to find new water sources.
At the same time, the royal court, which had moved to the Northern Desert, stopped in a place with fresh and fertile grass.
Chahar looked to the south, his face a bit ugly, "It's been so long and I haven't seen Toya yet. It seems like she won't be able to come back!"
"Khan, General Jiren has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him!"
"Don't worry!"
The attendants and kings around him opened their mouths to respond.
Chahar's eyes suddenly became deep and he said, "You don't have to comfort me!"
"No matter which step Toya takes, she will always be our hero in the Northern Desert and the God of War in the Northern Desert!"
"yes……"
Mentioning Toya, Chahar gradually felt a little sad.
Long sighs.
After a while, my mood returned to normal.
He asked: "Where are the Wu Chao troops now?"
"Back to Khan, I guess I have arrived at the royal court..." King Youshan said.
Chahar nodded, "When you arrive at the royal court, you should also accept the gifts we gave to the Wu Dynasty Army!"
Hearing the sound, everyone laughed.
"yes!"
"certain!"
"I really hope they are all wiped out, so that we can defeat them easily!"
The kings around him had smiles on their faces, with a hint of joking.
"Who says it isn't?"
That's right, all of this was caused by Chahar.
Chahar stared deeply and said quietly: "However, even so, we should not take it lightly, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Also, let the women and children go first and continue heading north! The Wu Dynasty wants to completely crush our Northern Desert, and I want them to know what wishful thinking is!"
"As long as there are still people in the Northern Desert, we will not become extinct!"
"In the coming year, we can still dominate the Northern Desert!"
Chahar's momentum is like a rainbow.
"Khan is wise!"
"Khan is wise!"
Under the orders of Chahar Khan, the women, children, and some young adults continued heading north with a lot of supplies.
As for Chahar, the Eleven Kings, and an army of 200,000, they stopped.
It's not that I can't go, but I stopped on purpose.
