Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yunxi led everyone to the front.

According to the suggestion of the leading barbarians, Zhu Yunxi decided to march overnight.

It was midsummer, the sun was scorching like fire during the day, and the heat was unbearable.

Especially at noon, you can't hurry.

I can only hide in the shadow of the camel horse and survive the most uncomfortable period.

Some of the Ming army had been to deserts, such as Mu Us and Tengger, which bordered the Ming Dynasty.

But most people see the desert for the first time.

Everything seemed very calm, the wind was not strong, and the moon was high in the sky.

It doesn't seem to be as scary as everyone said.

The bright moon hovered above the thin clouds, and the indifferent moonlight made the sand dunes white.

Grinding snow into sand, digging soil into grass, leading drills to stars.

The desert might be just that, rough by day and rough from start to finish.

But at night, the desert is delicate, even a little gentle.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Huaijin couldn't help expressing emotion: "The night in the desert is so beautiful!"

"The sand in the desert is like snow, and the moon in Yanshan is like a hook. Only now do I really understand."

Wu Bozong said: "I have been to the desert before, and the desert is all pale yellow, with yellow sand all over the sky. I thought the ancients made a mistake. How could the yellow sand be white?"

Xu Huaijin said: "Yes, the night covers up everything, the sun disappears, the moon and stars light up, and the whole world is only black and white."

"It is black and white that shows an extreme and astonishing beauty."

Wu Bozong praised: "Xiao Jin is very right. Simple is often the most beautiful."

Zhu Yunxi said: "Simple? Tomorrow you will know that this desert is by no means so simple!"

Wu Bozong was a little annoyed, and finally found a common topic with Xu Huaijin, stepped on Xu Huaijin's rhythm, Wu Wang came to intervene.

Such a beautiful artistic conception was completely destroyed by Wu Wang's words.

Chen Cheng, a pedestrian from the Department of Officials, said: "Master Wu, although the desert is very quiet now, it is often caught off guard when it is violent."

"King Wu, my lords, when walking in the desert, everything must be planned."

"Once danger comes, it is necessary to tie it with ropes in time. It is best to know in advance, how many ropes are there, how many people, camels and horses are there."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he was very surprised. This Chen Cheng is a talent, he is very thoughtful and meticulous!
I didn't even think of this myself.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

If there is no plan, once the danger comes, it must be in a hurry, and even cause casualties and serious losses.

Zhu Yunxi immediately ordered the generals to go down and conduct some exercises first.

Wu Bozong said: "Yes, yes, as a Chinese military tent, we must also make a plan. Xiaojin, I will use the rope made of my clothes, Xiaojin, shall we tie it together?"

Xu Huaijin said: "Wu Jianjun, you should find someone else. If there is any danger, I will tie my horse together."

Wu Bozong made a big fuss about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Master Xu, if you are tied to a horse, it will be dangerous. We know the temper of the horse."

"When you are frightened, the horse will run wild. If you are tied to the horse, you will either be kicked, stepped on by the horse, or dragged away by the horse."

"So, when the horses are brought together, even if they run around, they won't be able to run away."

"If you want to be safe, people must be tied together."

Xu Huaijin was now in a dilemma, bit his lip, the whole team was only a woman, how could he be tied to a man?
However, if you don't tie up with others, what should you do in case of danger?
If he dies, it will also affect the itinerary of the entire army.

Zhu Yunxi took out three ropes from the system space and said, "Master Xu, don't be shy either. These three ropes are long enough, you, Bi Qianhu and I each have one."

"Let's all wrap the rope around our waists first, and when the storm comes, the three of us will tie the rope together."

Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "This method is good!"

Xu Huaijin looked at the rope in Wu Bozong's hand. Although it looked thick, it was very short.

With such a short rope, when two people are tied, there is almost no space between them, and they will touch if they are not careful.

This Wu Bozong clearly has no good intentions!
Want to take advantage of yourself!
Don't look at Wu Wang's usual rhetoric, and his speech is not in the right shape, but what he did at this time is not at all like a disciple.

Compared with Wu Bozong, Wu Wang has become a gentleman.

A look at the rope is very thick, it is clearly used by him.

I have used it myself, using this rope to let it down from a hot air balloon.

This rope is stronger than all the ropes.

With this rope, my heart is much more at ease.

It seems good to use this kind of rope to tie Bi Qianhu and Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi together.

After all, the three of them have shared hardships in high altitudes and survived crises together.

How do you say that saying, yes, it is a grasshopper on a rope.

Both Xu Huaijin and Zhu Yuanzhang took the rope and tied it around their waists.

Wu Bozong was dumbfounded, if danger came to prison, who would I be bound with?
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Wu Jianjun, if you don't mind, you can tie us together."

Wu Bozong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Ah, that's kind, I've thanked Bi Qianhu."

Chang Sheng wondered why Wu Bozong claimed to be an official to Bi Qianhu?
Those who explored the way ahead were merchants from the Western Regions led by Chen Cheng, envoys and some Hu people's captives.

The way to walk is often tortuous. Wu Bozong began to question whether the Hu people deliberately took a detour?

Are the Hu people deliberately slowing down the marching speed of our army?Deliberately consuming our army's physical strength, food, water and other supplies?
After Wu Bozong brought it up, the Hu captives in front were obviously a little annoyed.

Chen Cheng hurried over to explain.

Marching in the desert is very special, and many times it is necessary to turn.

There is a principle: walk along the ridge without taking a ditch, and walk along the mountain without taking a bend.

Desert ridges can withstand tens of millions of years of weathering and erosion. The texture is hard and there is little quicksand. Walking will not be soft and fast.

The ridge has a wide field of view, which makes it easy to observe the road conditions and determine the location.

The ridge also serves as a guide.

Also, be sure to avoid the soft sandy ground on the leeward side, and try to walk on the windward side, because the windward side is compressed by wind erosion and is relatively hard, so walking on it is easier and saves effort.

The leeward side is mainly formed by wind accumulation and is relatively loose. Walking on it will sink deeper and consume more energy.

When you encounter a big sand bend, you must pay attention. If you walk under it, you may be buried by the quicksand dumped down.

By that time, it will really be called every day, and the earth will not work.

They walked all night and traveled more than a hundred miles.

Chen Cheng said that this speed is already very fast.

After a rough calculation, the distance from the easternmost point of the desert to the northwest is [-] miles to Heifengchuan.

It must be the fastest at the beginning, and the speed will become slower and slower in the end.

It will take at least half a month from here to Heifengchuan.

In the desert in the morning, the heat has not yet risen, and the breeze is pleasant.

Looking from the sand ridge, from far to near the desert, there is a faint blush on the boundless gold, like the first sunshine shining on a head of golden hair.

After walking all night, Chen Cheng said that on the harder sand ridges, he saw many scattered camel marks.

Judging from the number of people, it should be the traces of Wuna Shili leading the troops.

Actually found the trace of Wuna Shili!

Ping An and the others became excited when they heard the news, maybe they could catch Wuna Shili directly in the desert without rushing to Heifengchuan!
