Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 422 Kunlun
While His Royal Highness King Chu was repairing ships, building guns, and building armaments, His Royal Highness Qin Wang followed Deng Yu's Western Expedition Army and finally stepped into the vast Kunlun.

Wei Guogong hesitated whether to step into this rough and difficult restricted area of ​​life.When their army arrived in Hezhou, the Tubo tribes had already heard the news, and hid in Kunlun Mountain first.

The Tubo people's calculation is very clear, that is to use the natural danger of Kunlun Mountain, which is difficult for birds and beasts, to make the Ming army retreat.

But the Ming army mobilized many troops and came from afar, so how could they return without success?The emperor couldn't accept it, the court couldn't accept it, and even the soldiers couldn't accept it.

Of course, his commander-in-chief couldn't accept it even more.This is Deng Yu's first time as a general in command, when will he be able to make contributions?

But Deng Yu's worries are also very heavy. It has been a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone since ancient times.What's more, Kunlun Mountain's harsh climate, steep mountain roads, and unfamiliar environment all pose a great threat to the army.

Moreover, His Royal Highness Qin Wang and the emperor's most beloved adoptive son, Mu Ying, are still in the army. Once there is a mistake, how can he explain to the emperor?
When he was indecisive, he summoned the main generals to discuss with his commander.When he was soliciting opinions on whether the next step is to retreat or advance, all the generals, including King Qin and Mu Ying, said in unison:

"Pursuit! If you don't break Loulan, you won't pay it back!"

"..." Although Deng Yu was very pleased to see the morale of the generals soaring, he still had to put the difficulties ahead.

"The Kunlun Mountains are very cold, and it will freeze in June and July." Deng Yu said.

"But now it's the warmest season of the year. If it's another season, you'll be frozen to death, and you won't be able to march!" Mu Yinglang said in a loud voice, "General, now is the only season where you can chase into Kunlun Mountains. , don't miss this opportunity!"

"That's right, General. If we retreat now, all the tribes in Tubo will have nothing to fear from now on. If they are no longer afraid of the heavenly soldiers, they will definitely turn their noses up and make trouble!" Another general also said loudly.

"After we enter the mountain, we will become a lone army with no logistics and no backup. It's too dangerous." Deng Yu said again.

"It's the same for the various ministries of Tubo. They also have no logistics, no back-up, and they also support the old and the young, and bring livestock, which is more difficult than our situation." Another general analyzed:

"What they rely on is patience. If they can bear it, why can't we bear it?"

"That's right, 8 or [-] people from Tubo have entered the mountain, and they won't be able to go very far. So many people will definitely leave traces, and we will chase after them. We will definitely catch up with them!"

"Okay, what everyone said makes sense." Deng Yu finally nodded, as if he was persuaded, and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, go into the mountains and pursue it!"

"Obey!" All the generals clasped their fists excitedly and responded loudly.

"Let's all go down first." Deng Yu waved his hand, and the second child who followed down said: "Hong Hao, stay here for a while."

"Yeah." The second child stood still, and after the generals retreated, he asked in a muffled voice, "What, what are you doing?"

"I have an important task for you." Deng Yu said in a deep voice.

"Okay, please, please give the general orders. At the end, at the end, the general will guarantee to complete the task." The second child became energetic when he heard it.

"When the army enters Kunlun, it's okay for people to eat horse chews. They need enough cotton clothes, otherwise the low temperature at night will kill the soldiers." Deng Yu said: "So, the commander ordered you to leave for Lanzhou immediately. [-] cotton-padded clothes will be conscripted!"

"Obey, obey!" The second son suddenly felt a heavy responsibility.

Deng Yu took out another letter sealed with wax paint, handed it to Zhu Xi and said, "Give this to Song Sheng, and he will know what to do!"

"Yes!" King Qin took the envelope with both hands, hid it close to his body, and exited.

Looking at his unusually burly back, Deng Yu sighed softly: "Your Highness, I have offended you."

~~
After deciding to enter the army, the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army began intensive preparations. Everyone knew that there were many difficulties and dangers ahead, and the more fully prepared, the more likely they were to survive.

Deng Yu was not in a hurry to enter the army, and asked the cook to steam big steamed buns for the soldiers every day.One is to wait for cotton clothes.The second is to let the soldiers hang on as much fat as possible. He has rich experience and knows that he will definitely starve in the end.If you put on more fat now, you will be able to endure hunger for a longer period of time in the future.

In the end, there was a sinister thought, that is, to let the various ministries of Tubo who hid in Kunlun Mountains consume first.By the time the army marches in, maybe they are already starving.

In this way, we waited until the end of June, when the [-] cotton-padded clothes from the rear arrived, and it was time for the army to move out.

Looking at King Qin who returned to him with a silly smile on his face, Deng Yu's eyes were about to drop, and he couldn't help but shouted: "Why are you back again?"

"I, shouldn't I come back?" The second child said with a silly smile.

"Didn't you give that letter to Song Sheng?" Deng Yu asked.

"Yes, yes." The second child smiled slyly and said, "No, but he didn't read the contents of the letter."

"Why?" Deng Yu asked puzzled.His letter ordered Song Sheng not to allow King Qin to return to the front line, no matter under house arrest or hard bondage, otherwise the military law would be imposed.

"Soaked, soaked in water. Rotten into a paste." The second child said solemnly: "I, I conveyed the meaning of the commander, Song, Song Sheng still gave me face, no, I didn't make things difficult for me."

"Fuck..." Duke Wei uttered a rare swear word.

Careless, really careless.Had I known this earlier, I should have sent someone else to deliver the letter.

It's just that who would have thought that this big black man with a sluggish face would actually be hiding evil intentions?

"Yue, father-in-law, I know what you want to do." A determined expression appeared on Zhu Yufang's face. "But, Da Ming's prince, no, you can't be a deserter!"

"Alas..." Deng Yu waved his hands helplessly and said, "Forget it, if you make a mistake, the old man will just wipe your neck and go back to the team."

"Hey!" Zhu Xing said happily, "Yue, father-in-law, don't worry, my father said that my life is long, and nothing will happen."

"Ah? Did the emperor still say that?" Deng Yu asked puzzled.

"Yes, yes. When my father beat me up, he always said that it would be a disaster for thousands of years..." Zhu Xi proudly dropped the sentence and turned around, leaving only Deng Yu messed up in the wind.

~~
Hongwu ten years, June 29.It was the day when Deng Yu's army set out again.

Outside the city of Hezhou, [-] carefully selected and recharged soldiers lined up in strict order, ready to go.

Surrounded by all the generals, the Duke of Wei and General Deng Yu, who was in military uniform, boarded the platform and gave a brief oath speech to the soldiers:

"Soldiers, we have trekked three thousand miles to Hezhou, but we have not shot an arrow or accomplished an inch. Are you willing?"

"I'm not reconciled!" The soldiers shouted like a tsunami.

"Our enemies are hiding in the vast Kunlun." Deng Yu pointed to the majestic mountains in the west.

"cannot!"

"Okay, I will lead you to chase into Kunlun Mountains. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, I will find them and destroy them! Let Tubo submit to the Celestial Empire forever! Are you going with me?!"

"Go together! Go together!" The roar of the soldiers was earth-shattering.

"Wei Qinghuo Qubing in the Han Dynasty, Li Jing and Xu Shiji in the Tang Dynasty, and You in the Song Dynasty... Now it's my turn to be enlightened. Don't let the previous dynasty be the only one!" Deng Yu drew out his sword, pointed to the west, and roared: "Soldiers, make achievements, and make achievements better than those of the Han Dynasty. Tang's opportunity is at hand, let's go!"

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" The soldiers roared with enthusiasm.Under the command of the officer, Qiqi headed westward towards the vast Kunlun.
