The troops rested for several days, and at the same time, they mobilized ships near the area to expand the pontoon bridge, transported food and various equipment across the river.

Although the Yellow River channel in the Bietouguan area is wide, the water flows very fast. The pontoon bridge for ordinary horse and infantrymen to cross the river is not high, but it is difficult for the heavy equipment carried by the army to cross the river. Therefore, the pontoon bridge must be built on the basis of the original pontoon bridge.

The method is also very simple. Gather hundreds of ships, lay wooden paths on the ships, and connect them to fix them. The shallow water is made of log wooden piles to fix them. Piles cannot be driven in deep water of the river, so they can only use huge rocks as anchors to maintain stability. It takes a lot of effort.

But four days later, the army finally began to cross the river. The men and small vehicles passed easily. Zhang Yanling was worried when he crossed the river. The flat-panel truck equipped with artillery, plus the horses pulling the cart, and the crowds assisted. In a very small area, the pontoon bridge had to bear thousands of pounds of weight.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. It took a day and a night to transport more than 1,300 food, supplies, vehicles and heavy firearms across the Yellow River. The 110,000 troops of the Ma infantry and infantry were finally fully assembled.

On the morning of that day, the army set out to rectify.

Five hundred cavalrymen were scouting cavalry and set out first to investigate the enemy's movements. The four armies outside were the front army, the two battalions of naval soldiers were the central army, and the 30,000 Datong border army was the rear army, forming an infantry formation. The 40,000 cavalry were divided into two teams and guarded the infantry flanks.

The entire northern expedition army formed an oval dense formation of five or six miles in a radius, and headed north along the Gobi Desert.

Less than an hour later, a scout team exploring the way forward suddenly sent back news that two corpses were found in front of the team, like generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun quickly rode their horses and led their personal guards to the front of the team to check. On a grassland fifteen miles ahead of the army, Zhang Yanling, Zhang Lun and others saw the two corpses.

The two corpses were tightly tied together, one in front and one behind, in a state of carrying the back. The man on the back was wearing the Ming Dynasty armor, sitting on the ground leaning against a pile of earth, holding a long knife in his hand. The man on his back had a gray hair, and his head and neck were drooping and could not see his face clearly.

The two bodies seemed to be corrupt and smelled foul.

Zhang Lun ordered people to loosen the cloth strips tied together, and the two corpses fell down. One was lying on his back and the other was lying on his back. The man lying on his back and his white hair spread out, revealing a terrifying face that had begun to decay. The guards around him suddenly screamed.

Zhang Lun frowned and shouted, "What's the name? Have you never seen a dead person?"

Zhang Yanling frowned and stepped forward, carefully looked at the face of the white-haired deceased, and carefully identified it. But the face could no longer be recognized.

The personal guard also turned over the body of another deceased man. The man had a complete face, square face and thick eyebrows, and a heroic appearance. Although his skin was ugly, he could see how long he had been dead for at most one or two days. The man held the long sword tightly in his hand, and even if the body fell down, he did not let go. Moreover, his armor was damaged in many places, blood stains condensed into dark spots, and spots on his armor.

No one around knew the two dead. After Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun talked about it, they all decided that these two were the previous border generals, and they obviously died here while fleeing the enemy.

The square-faced general escaped with the white-haired man on his back. In this case, the general was also carrying the white-haired man on his back. Obviously, this person is extremely important to him. Moreover, according to the degree of decay of the corpse, it can be speculated that the square-faced man walked away with the corpse on his back.

"Who is so important? Is this brother going to carry his body?" At this point, Zhang Lun asked a question.

Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "Yes. I also feel confused. Who is the white-haired dead person? This general came out with his back to death, and must be an extremely important person in the army. If it weren't for the disagreement of his figure and face, I would have suspected that he was the Duke of Bao."

Zhang Lun frowned and looked at the white-haired man's body and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhu has a fat face and a very fat figure. This person is thin and dry, which is indeed inconsistent. The key is that there is no token that can be identified. He has nothing on his body, and his personal guards have searched it."

Zhang Yanling said: "Forget it, carry it back to the camp, change clothes and organize it for burial. It is undoubtedly my Ming general. I sent a car to Bietou Pass to let the generals in the border town identify their identities and find their families. It is really sad. I don't know how many remains of my Ming soldiers will be found in front of me."

Zhang Lun nodded, and everyone sorted out the two corpses and carried them back on a stretcher. When passing by the front army, Xu Tai rode his horse to salute. Suddenly, Xu Tai pointed to a corpse on the stretcher and said angrily: "This... isn't this General Xin?"

Zhang Yanling said: "Do you know this person?"

Xu Tai stared at the body and said, "I know, that is General Xin Guoping, the general of Xuanfu. When I was leading the army in Xuanfu, I had a good relationship with him. Unexpectedly, General Xin died in battle. General Xin, hey! He is a kind and righteous person, and I can talk to him very much. I want to meet General Xin and pay a visit."

Xu Tai looked a little sad, jumped off his horse and walked to the stretcher, looked at Xin Guoping's face, sighed and bowed three times.

Zhang Yanling sat at Xu Tai and said in a deep voice: "Since General Xu knows this General Xin Shen, you should know who the person he is carrying is, right? Go and see who it is?"

Xu Tai nodded. He had noticed the body on the stretcher behind. Because it was corrupt, it was covered by soldiers with white cloth. Xu Tai walked over, reached out to lift the white cloth, and took a breath. But after all, there were so many dead people who had seen them, and had never seen any terrible situations before, so he quickly returned to peace.

He looked at the white-haired dead man carefully, and suddenly reached out to pull the dead man's robe covered with dried blood. In amazement, Xu Tai had already pulled open the deceased's robe, revealing the black and corrupt body.

"It's really... it's really... Duke Bao. He is... Duke Bao... Duke Zhu. Wuwuwu." Xu Tai knelt on the ground with tears in his tears, crying loudly.

Zhang Yanling was shocked and looked at Zhang Lun. Zhang Lun said in a deep voice: "What? He is Baoguo Duke? Baoguo Duke is fat and healthy, how could it be him? How did you know?"

Xu Tai pointed to the exposed shoulder of the body and said sadly: "Please look, two princes, please see, this is an arrow wound. The general was led by Xuanfu. In the 17th year of Hongzhi, a small group of cavalry of Tatars secretly crossed the border town. The prince happened to lead us to patrol the border. When he encountered the Tartars, he started fighting. The prince was shot on the shoulder by a Tartars cold arrow, and he would be cared for several months before he recovered. The wound had ulcerated at that time, so he left a scar after healing. The general had seen the wound, the Tartars.

Zi used a five-ringed arrow, and the wound looked like a small flower. Baoguo Duke once showed this wound to us, and said it was like a peach blossom, and he was going to have a good luck in peach blossoms. The last son was impressed. The wound was the same and the shape, so it must be Baoguo Duke. Zhu, I didn't expect that this would happen if you and I met again after being separated for several years. You know the kindness of the last son, but the last son has not yet repaid. The last son... the pain in my heart is hard to bear, and the pain is hard to bear."

Xu Tai burst into tears. He was originally a general of the border army to Xuanfu Town, and he was a beloved general under Zhu Hui. He received a lot of favors from Zhu Hui and respected Zhu Hui very much. Today, when he saw Zhu Hui's body, he was corrupt and thin. He was so bleak. How could he not feel heartbroken?

After hearing Xu Tai's words, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun changed their faces and jumped off the horse. Before, because their body shape and appearance did not match Zhu Hui's original appearance, they felt that it was not Zhu Hui. At this moment, they were recognized by Xu Tai and looked at the wound again. It was indeed as Xu Tai said, so they naturally knew that it must be Zhu Hui.

Although Zhu Hui betrayed the Xunqi Group and joined forces with the Outer Court for his own selfishness. However, he was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and the top figure in the Xunqi Group. Now he died at the hands of the Tartars and on the battlefield, which is also considered to be a death for the country.

Both are nobles, and although they hate him for betraying the nobles' group, at this moment, Zhang Lun and Zhang Yanling couldn't help feeling heavy and sighed.

"Come here, make a coffin immediately, change the clothes and bury Duke Baoguo, and send the coffin back to the capital. Notify his family in Xuanfu and go back to pick up the coffin as soon as possible." Zhang Yanling ordered in a deep voice.

The soldiers quickly agreed.

Zhang Yanling looked at Xin Guoping's body and almost understood what was going on in his heart.

Xin Guoping is a general of Xuanfu, and must be Zhu Hui's confidant. This man protected Zhu Hui to break through under the siege of the Tartars. Zhu Hui probably did not hold on, but this man still ran south with his body on his back. Although he escaped from the Tartars' pursuit, the battlefield was hundreds of miles away from the border town, and he did not hold on until the end.

The two people died on the Gobi Desert, more than 60 miles away from the Bietouguan Ferry. In other words, this person returned from the depths of the Ordos grassland with Zhu Hui's body on his back, and he was very determined and loyal.

This person can be called "faithfulness and righteousness".

It is sad that he is actually not far from the ferry. He has walked hundreds of miles, but in the end, the dozens of miles have not been able to survive. Calculate the time, Zhu Hui and others were besieged more than half a month ago, which means that Xin Guoping walked on Zhu Hui's body for more than ten days. In the end, it is very likely that he died of exhaustion.

"We also built a coffin for this General Xin Guoping, and sent it back to Xuanfu. This is a loyal and righteous man." Zhang Yanling ordered again.

The soldiers agreed and went to do it immediately.

Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun stood in front of Zhu Hui's body silently, with a solemn expression.

Zhang Yanling didn't know much about Zhu Hui. Although he met many times, Zhu Hui actually had a relationship with Zhang Yanling. However, it is obvious that from Xu Tai and Xin Guoping's attitude towards Zhu Hui, it can be seen that Zhu Hui is still deeply loved by the people around him.

Perhaps Zhu Hui was not as extreme and arrogant as he thought before, or maybe he could have a good relationship with him. Unfortunately, he died and never had this opportunity again.

During the Battle of Hetao, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, led by the Ming Dynasty, was killed. This was another major loss besides the annihilation of 150,000 troops by the Tartars.

"Duke Kuang, although you and I don't like each other, you have scolded me before, but in my heart, I have never disrespected you. Now you have died in the battlefield, which is sad and sad. Please accept my beloved Zhang Lun, and I hope you have a spirit in heaven and can bless me and Duke Kuang and avenge you." Zhang Lun said in a deep voice, bowing and bowing.

Zhang Yanling stood aside and bowed deeply.
