Right now.
In the Gobi Desert stretching for hundreds of miles north of the river, a team was meandering along.
They were leading horses, wearing leather armor, and looked exhausted.
This group consisted of Zhao Muyun's group and three hundred young and strong men from the Wuhuan tribe.
They had been walking northward in the Gobi Desert for two days.
Zhao Muyun's lips were dry and his eyebrows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character.
I didn't expect marching in the Gobi Desert to be so difficult.
Wind, sand, water sources, and quicksand are all dangerous. If you are not careful, you will face casualties or even the destruction of the entire army.
Fortunately, the Wuhuan people had experience in migrating as a whole tribe, and with their guidance, they finally escaped without any danger.
"Brother Yun, if I remember correctly, if we go a little further north, we'll be out of the Gobi Desert and into the Shulechuan Grassland!"
Next to Zhao Muyun, Huan Naxue, who was half a head taller than him and dressed as a man, said.
"Well, we don't know how the war in Shuozhou is going, but the longer it goes, the greater the variables will be. We must speed up!" Zhao Muyun nodded.
Originally, Zhao Muyun didn't plan to keep Huan Naxue by his side. After all, being a woman would cause many inconveniences.
But after the team set off, Huan Naxue changed into men's clothes and caught up with them, blending into the team of young and strong Wuhuan people. She was not discovered by Zhao Muyun until the next day.
If we send her back, she might get lost in the Gobi Desert.
Helpless, Zhao Muyun had to let her do whatever she wanted and keep her by his side.
Soon Tang Yanhai, Han Zhong and others discovered the clues, but everyone kept it a secret and chose to remain silent.
"Brother Yun, as long as we rescue the thousands of Dayin slaves from the ranch in the north of Shulechuan, we will have the strength to attack King Zhelan's court and block his retreat!"
"After defeating King Zhelan, my tribe and I will be able to return to Shulechuan!"
"As for the salt lake in the Gobi Desert, I will also have our people mine it. It and these three hundred strong men will be my dowry to you!"
Huan Naxue looked at Zhao Muyun and said affectionately.
"Miss Xue, if I, Zhao Muyun, achieve something in the future, I will definitely not let you and the Wuhuan tribe down for your help."
Zhao Muyun was very moved and said solemnly.
Huan Naxue smiled carelessly: "I am already yours, why are you still so polite?"
"That's true. I was the one being too formal!" Zhao Muyun grinned and turned around to yell at Han Zhong, Tang Yanhai and the others.
"Pass the word down, everyone, brace yourself! We're only ten miles out of the Gobi Desert!"
"Once we reach the grasslands, we'll find a Tartar tribe to eat some food and restock our supplies!"
Hearing this, everyone was cheered up and quickened their pace!
......
It turned out that two days ago, after experiencing a night full of hormones in the Gobi Desert, Zhao Muyun and several of his men naturally became the sons-in-law of the Wuhuan people.
Huan Naxue's four uncles immediately summoned 300 young and strong men from the clan and asked them to unconditionally obey Zhao Muyun's leadership and follow Zhao Muyun out of the Gobi Desert.
Zhao Muyun distributed all the captured Tatar war horses and leather armor weapons in a unified manner. He first armed a hundred young and strong Wuhuan men and asked Han Zhong to give them simple training.
The other two hundred people could only make do for the time being, and wait until they got out of the Gobi Desert to rob the Tartar tribes and then arm them.
Afterwards, Uncle Kui provided Zhao Muyun with another important piece of information.
Half a year ago, the Wuhuan tribe was driven out of Shulechuan by Temur and hid in. Uncle Kui was unwilling to give up and led his men to sneak back to investigate the situation.
He accidentally learned that after the Tartars occupied this place, they captured several thousand Dayin people from other places and brought them to the grassland to herd sheep and horses and build castles.
Zhao Muyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately gave up his plan to go east through the Gobi Desert and go to the Xichuan grassland. He first rescued these thousands of Dayin people and strengthened his own strength.
As for that salt lake, it seems a bit sci-fi and coincidental.
The person who discovered that it was a salt lake was Bai Shouren.
The lake where the Wuhuan tribe lived was half fresh water and half salt water.
On the salt water side, the shore is covered with white crystals.
When Zhao Muyun and others arrived that day, it was already night and they found nothing.
The next day, after arranging Han Zhong, Xiao Wu, Shi Yong and others to prepare the 300 young and strong men of Wuhuan, Zhao Muyun took Tang Yanhai, Wang Tiezhu and others to deal with Bai Shouren and his eight bodyguards.
They brought Bai Shouren and his men to the place where the dead Wuhuan people were buried, on the sand dunes on the other side of the lake.
After being persuaded, four of the eight bodyguards agreed to join Zhao Muyun's team.
The other four are still hesitating.
So Tang Yanhai forced the four bodyguards who instigated the rebellion to kill the other four with knives on the spot, as a token of his loyalty.
This scene happened right in front of Bai Shouren. Seeing his men being taken away like this, he was filled with hatred.
"Second Master Bai, you are secretly communicating with the Tartars and want to kill me. Do you suspect that I have robbed the salt and iron you smuggled from the Tartars?" Zhao Muyun said coldly.
"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else!" Bai Shouren asked, "Did you kill Lao Huang and the others too?"
"That's right. To be precise, it was the three of us!" Wang Tiezhu interrupted. "If we didn't kill them, they would have killed us! I even took a knife, which was a relief for them!"
"It's you!" Bai Shouren said bitterly, "Aren't you afraid of revenge from our Bai family?"
"Haha, revenge? We're not afraid of you at all! If your men hadn't revealed the name of the Bai family, they might still be alive. What a pity!" Tang Yanhai also shook his head coldly.
Zhao Muyun said coldly: "Second Master Bai, thank you for your company all the way. We have found the Wuwan people. You seem to be of no use! This is a Feng Shui treasure land. With so many Wuwan people accompanying you, you won't be lonely after death!"
