"Captain Zhao, the Tartars have appeared five miles northeast of us!"
After Zhao Muyun and his party discovered that the Tartars were chasing them, they sped up and ran towards the Daqing Mountains in the north.
Only by entering the mountains can the advantage of the one hundred Tatar cavalry be offset.
They can also rely on favorable conditions such as mountains, terrain, and forests to fight back.
However, Bai Shouren and his group, loaded with cargo, slowed down the entire team.
It seems that we can enter the mountains before dark.
However, Wang Tiezhu discovered a large number of Tatars in the northeast direction of the team.
It seems that this Tartar general leading the troops is not stupid.
He knew that if he chased them directly from behind, Zhao Muyun and the others would go into the mountains first, which would be disadvantageous to the Tartars.
Therefore, they headed north parallel to Zhao Muyun's team, overtook Zhao Muyun and his team with their faster speed advantage, and encircled them from the front.
In this case, either the two will meet on the grassland, or Zhao Muyun will have to turn back or head west into the desert.
In short, Zhao Muyun and his party had no chance of entering Daqing Mountain smoothly.
"We're still moving too slowly. If we continue forward, they'll intercept us!"
Zhao Muyun looked at Bai Shouren and his group.
There is definitely suspicion that Bai Shouren deliberately slowed down the process.
Bai Shouren felt uneasy when Zhao Muyun looked at him. He said innocently:
"Sergeant Zhao, we've already run at full speed. Look at these mules and horses, they're so tired they're covered in sweat!"
Zhao Muyun did not respond to Bai Shouren's words, but summoned Han Zhong and others:
"Brothers, at our current speed, we can't avoid the Tartar pursuers and successfully enter the Daqing Mountains. But turning back is also absolutely impossible!"
"The only way to survive now is to head west into the Gobi Desert. Only then can we have a chance of survival."
Han Zhong and others immediately said, "Boss Zhao, we'll listen to you. We'll go wherever you say!"
"What about you? Will you follow us into the Gobi Desert?" Zhao Muyun turned around and asked Bai Shouren.
"Brother Zhao, this Gobi Desert is full of dangers. I've never heard of anyone being able to get out!" Bai Shouren shook his head like a rattle.
He would not feel at ease until he saw Zhao Muyun and his men dead with his own eyes.
Once you enter the Gobi Desert, there are too many variables.
The Tatar cavalry might not dare to chase in. If Zhao Muyun and the others escape, all the efforts would be in vain.
Bai Shouren was certainly unwilling to take the risk of entering the Gobi Desert. When he heard that Zhao Muyun was going to enter the Gobi Desert, he tried his best to dissuade him.
"Only when you are in desperate situations can you find a way out. Anyway, at this point, I already know the direction and route. I don't need Master Bai to lead the way, and I don't need your caravan to cover me."
"Since Second Master Bai doesn't dare to go with us, then we should split up into two groups and go our separate ways!"
Zhao Muyun deliberately expressed his desire to separate from the Bai family caravan.
The seal and edict given by the imperial court to the Wuhuan tribe are in his possession, so it doesn't matter whether Bai Shouren is there or not.
Bai Shouren was unwilling to do so, but the Tartar troops had not yet arrived, so he did not dare to turn hostile:
"Brother Zhao, I, like you, have a mission. If I don't go with you, how can I complete the adults' instructions? I will go into this desert with you!"
Zhao Muyun smiled and said, "If you want to come with us, then unload the goods first and set off lightly. Otherwise, the Tartar cavalry will catch up with us before we even enter the Gobi Desert."
“This…this!”
Bai Shouren was heartbroken. It was such a pity to lose these goods.
"What's more important, things or life? If you don't throw it away, then I won't care!"
After saying that, Zhao Muyun waved his hand, and the horses under his command turned around and galloped towards the west.
Seeing that Zhao Muyun and the others had already walked away, the Bai family's escort hurriedly asked, "Second Master, are we lost or not?"
"Lost, of course it's lost!"
Bai Shouren smiled strangely, then his expression turned cold. "Listen, don't throw them all away. Throw them away quietly along the way, even if you enter the Gobi Desert."
"Second Boss, what are you...doing? Are you trying to leave a mark for the Tartars?" Several Bai family bodyguards looked at Bai Shouren in horror.
A chilling look spread across Bai Shouren's face. "Of course! I'm leaving a mark for Captain Temur's men, letting them know that Zhao Muyun has entered the Gobi Desert."
"Don't worry, the Tartars only want the lives of Zhao Muyun and others. We are safe."
It was not until now that the Bai family's bodyguards realized that Zhao Muyun and others who had traveled with them had been betrayed by their second boss.
"Old Huang and the others will die at the hands of Zhao Muyun. He dared to touch our Bai family's things. There is only one word for them: death!"
"Listen up, everyone! Once the Tartars chase us into the Gobi Desert, follow my lead and join them in killing Zhao Muyun and the others."
Bai Shouren had a ferocious look on his face and murderous eyes.
......
"Brother Zhao, Bai Shouren and the others are sneaking around behind us, we have to be careful of them!"
Not far ahead, Wang Tiezhu rode his horse close to Zhao Muyun and whispered.
Among Zhao Muyun's subordinates, only he and Tang Yanhai knew clearly that the second boss of the Bai family definitely had ulterior motives.
Along the way, Wang Tiezhu kept an eye on any unusual movements of the Bai family.
As long as Zhao Muyun gave the order, he would take action against the Bai family without hesitation.
But Bai Shouren behaved very well and didn't make any unusual movements, which made Wang Tiezhu a little confused.
But now, he noticed that the Bai family group walking behind him were quietly throwing things on the ground, so he hurried over to report to Zhao Muyun.
"Haha, don't alert the enemy. Just pretend you didn't see anything. Everything is under my control. Without their help, how could they help us lure the Tartars into the Gobi Desert?"
