Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1275

So, under Wei Wu's persistent questioning, he eventually told him everything Wei Wu wanted to know.

Upon learning of the court's original arrangements for Siam and the location of the 20,000 soldiers, Wei Wu asked Mu Ying for another token.

After all the preparations were completed, Wei Wu decided not to linger any longer and stood up, saying:

“Brother Mu, since the war is imminent, I won’t bother you any longer. Besides, I need to get there as soon as possible to deal with Siam.”

"You can focus on dealing with Annam and those chieftains. With me here, Siam will be fine."

After saying that, Wei Wu gave Shen Lin a look before Mu Ying could speak, and then the two left the military tent together.

Watching Wei Wu's departing figure, Mu Ying wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed her words.

On the other side, Wei Wu immediately left the military camp with Shen Lin after leaving the military tent, and only took out the helicopter when no one was around.

Mu Ying was stationed in Kunming, the central region of Yunnan, which also happened to be located at the crossroads of Annam.

The place that Cao Cao was going to was Mengmian, which was later called Lincang. It was not far from Kunming, only a few hundred kilometers away.

With a helicopter at their disposal, Wei Wu and Shen Lin arrived here in no time.

After the helicopter landed, Wei Wu first filled the fuel tank with fuel before returning it to the warehouse and then leading Shen Lin toward the military camp.

Although he knew that cholera was transmitted through the mouth and nose, Wei Wu still took out two N95 masks just to be on the safe side.

At the same time, medical gloves and medical alcohol were also prepared, for fear that they and Shen Lin might accidentally fall into a trap.

After confirming that everything was in order, Wei Wu and his companion arrived at the camp gate, where two armed soldiers stood.

Both soldiers had their faces wrapped in burlap, and they spoke with a strong voice, so they probably hadn't contracted cholera.

Upon seeing Wei Wu and his companion approach, the two guards immediately raised their spears and shouted at them.

"This is a military camp, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach. Get out of here now!"

Wei Wu didn't mind, since it was the soldiers' duty to drive away civilians who approached the camp.

Moreover, Wei Wu could tell that the soldier who shouted was obviously anxious, probably because he didn't want him to contract the disease.

So after the soldiers finished scolding him, Wei Wu was not angry. He simply reached into his robes and took out Mu Ying's keepsake.

"We came from Kunming. This is General Mu's token. Please inform him that I wish to see your general."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, the two soldiers immediately put away their spears and looked at Wei Wu and his men with suspicion.

Then, carefully, using a method that minimizes contact, he took the token from Wei Wu and examined it.

After confirming that everything was correct, the soldier who had spoken earlier softened his tone considerably.

"Wait a moment, I'll go inform the general right away!"

After a brief reply, the soldier grabbed the token and ran into the barracks, returning about five minutes later.

"The general is in the main tent. Please follow me."

After he finished speaking, the gates of the military camp were opened, and Wei Wu and his men followed the soldiers into the camp.

Unlike Mu Ying's troops, the soldiers in Mu Ying's camp were in high spirits, and each of them exuded an aura of war.

But this military camp now felt to Wei Wu like he had entered the intensive care unit of a large hospital.

The soldiers I saw as I passed by all looked sickly and had long faces, as if the sky had fallen.

Every now and then, you could see pale, weak soldiers all around, and you could hear the sound of vomiting in the distance.

The air was filled with a foul odor, vomit was everywhere, and even feces could be seen in the corners.

This is nothing like a military camp. Even the Nazi concentration camps during World War II were in much better condition than this.

As they walked, Wei Wu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, mainly because the sanitary conditions in the military camp were simply too poor.

Originally, Wei Wu came to the military camp only to inquire about intelligence, but now it seems that he will have to give a few more instructions.

A few minutes later, the soldier leading the way brought Wei Wu and his companion to a stop in front of a military tent, turned around, and said:

"Gentlemen, the general is inside the military tent. I will return to my post now!"

"Ok!"

Wei Wu nodded in response, then without saying another word, he lifted the tent flap and led Shen Lin inside.

Inside the tent, a man dressed as a general stood before a long table, staring at the map on it with a worried expression.

Only after Wei Wu and his companion entered did he turn his gaze away and look at Wei Wu, asking:

"Gentlemen, may I ask your names? Did General Mu send you here to deliver a military order?"

Before arriving, Wei Wu had already inquired about the situation here, so he knew the name of this general.

"General Gao, I am not here to deliver military orders. I have some personal matters to ask you. As for my name, I am Wei Wu, and this is my bodyguard."

Upon hearing Wei Wu introduce himself, General Gao was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and immediately bowed to Wei Wu.

"Your humble servant Gao Tianwang greets Your Excellency, the Duke of Zhenguo!"

Wei Wu wasn't surprised that the other party knew his identity; after all, he was quite well-known within the Ming Dynasty.

So after Gao Tianwang finished bowing, he simply waved his hand and said:

"Alright, no need for formalities. I came here to inquire about some information, but I need to ask about something else first."

"Sir, may I ask?"

Gao Tianwang did not hesitate and immediately responded. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wei Wu's question.

"General Gao, since a plague has broken out in the military camp, in order to keep the camp clean and tidy, it is not as dirty and messy as it is now."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's question, Gao Tianwang couldn't help but smile wryly, as if he had already guessed that Wei Wu would ask this question.

But that's normal. A perfectly good military camp turned into this mess, anyone who came would ask about this first.

Gao Tianwang made no attempt to hide anything; he simply sighed softly and slowly began to speak:

"My lord, you are unaware of the truth. It's not that I didn't send people to clean up those filthy things; I simply had no other choice but to let them be."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu frowned, looked directly at Gao Tianwang, and asked:

"Explain in detail what you mean by 'having no other choice but to let it go'!"
