Li Yan finally met Xu Li, the legendary grandfather of Xu Pengju. Following behind Xu Li, Xu Pengju was very honest, not only that, but he was also wearing a silver-white armor, which was very sassy.

"Grandson!" Li Yan waved at Xu Pengju.

"You dare to say that the little master is a grandson, you are dead!" Xu Pengju is still arrogant.

"I mean Old Man Xu's grandson......" Li Yan rolled his eyes, then turned to the side and saluted solemnly: "Nanjing Jinyi Wei's hundred households have seen Wei Guogong!" ”

"Oh? Are you the bastard in my family who talks about Li Yan all day long? Hundreds of pit people? ”

Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, looked at Li Yan with interest, as if Li Yan had flowers on his face.

There was a black line on Li Yan's face, and he glanced at Xu Pengju without leaving a trace. "What is this called, and it still traps hundreds of households?"

"Uh...... The younger generation is ashamed. Li Yan's face turned red for no reason, and he glanced at Xu Li, for this kind of old guy who seems to have lived for many years, Li Yan immediately avoided it, and he can sit in the position of Wei Guogong for so many years without any wavering, it will definitely not be Xu Pengju's kind of condescension.

In front of Xu Li, Li Yan had a feeling of being seen through.

I heard that a few days ago, Xu Li had a fight with a certain waiter who didn't open his eyes......

It is common for nobles to not do their jobs, and it has become a beautiful landscape in the Ming Dynasty, but there may be only one such nonsense like Xu Li, and there is no other semicolon.

Li Yan blinked his eyes, and he was even more jealous of this old man.

The national prince is not terrible, but the national prince who has nothing to do is terrible.

The way of the monarch and the minister, is nothing more than a gallop, one side of the public, which is not a powerful man, like Xu Li who holds the power of the army, if Xu Li is okay and always stays in Nanjing and pretends to be deep, I am afraid that the old Zhu family will be suspicious, what are you doing in Nanjing?

That's why Xu Li looks old and disrespectful, and he always makes some things to divert the attention of the Ming Dynasty's bull-eared people.

What ambition can a person who can always do a jerk do be ambitious? After all, no one will believe this kind of thing.

has no ambition to win the world, this is the reason why Hongzhi dared to let Xu Li take charge of the army, and assured that he was responsible for exterminating the Tatars.

……

――――――――――

The army of the Ming Dynasty had 3,600 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, 400 artillery, a total of 5,000 officers and soldiers, and a large number of men and horses.

Because the Tatars were harassing in the towns of the northeast, there were no naval sorties this time, but this was already a large military operation.

"The Mongolian Tatars are unkind, messing with my northeast, this time the righteous army will win!" Xu Li came to the battle to boost morale.

"Nanjing Jinyi Wei obeys the order! We will wait for the prison army, and those who escape from the battle will be killed! Those who do not listen to the order will be killed! On the grounds of carrying the widows, the perpetrators will be beheaded! ”

Qianhu Li Daonan is also a supervisor of the army, but his task is different from that of Li Yan, and this time he is divided into two battlefields: Northeast and Datong.

Li Yan cut three words in a row, and suddenly the atmosphere was a little more solemn, and everyone looked at the weak scholar in front of him, who seemed to be powerless, concise and decisive.

――――――――

After half a month of trials and hardships, Li Yan and others finally arrived in the Northeast.

Because this time Emperor Hongzhi's order was to take the initiative to approach the Mongol Tatars and launch an attack, and strive to destroy them in one fell swoop, it was not possible to pin all hopes on the Nanjing Wei, and the local border troops should also participate.

At this time, the people in the northeast and other places have begun to move one after another, the Nanjing Wei'an camp has been set up, Xu Li has led the team to be stationed not far away, the fence has been erected around the camp, tents have risen from the ground, the scouts are all scattered, the officers and soldiers in the camp are silently busy, and the atmosphere is very depressing, as if a boulder is pressing on everyone's chest.

……

At night, in the big tent in the army, Xu Li and others had solemn faces, and Li Yan, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was also called in.

Xu Li's face was gloomy and he discussed with everyone for a long time, but the Mongolian Tatars came and went like the wind, and they were flexible, so I really didn't know where they would harm the Ming Dynasty next.

A group of people couldn't come up with an effective way after thinking about it, so Xu Li had to order several of his subordinates to be stationed along the northeast line and keep an eye on the movements of the Tatars.

Walking out of the big tent, Li Yan took a deep breath, the northeast climate is dry, and he has adapted to the humidity of the south, so he can't help but be a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, and cough.

Now the Tatars are nowhere to be found, and all they can do is wait.

"Li Baihu is a scholar?"

Xu Li didn't know when he would come out, so he asked coldly.

"Wei Guogong's eyes are like torches, and he was indeed a scholar before he entered Jinyiwei." Li Yan said respectfully.

"The bastard thing in my family mentioned you to me, I hate the Japanese to the core, the scholar has great ambitions, and the future of Li Baihu is limitless." Xu Li exclaimed.

Li Yan laughed a few times. His hatred of the Mongol Tatars to such an extent may seem a little strange to Xu Li, but in Li Yan's opinion, it is normal. Perhaps they could not have met, but a few hundred years later, the iron hooves of the Mongol Tatars almost trodden the land under their feet.

In the next few hundred years, they continued to encroach on the land, and the Qing government ceded the land and paid compensation, which can be described as more than the people's lack of livelihood.

If the old man was born in the future, he would definitely be more angry than Li Yan.

"Why don't you see the little grandfather?" Li Yan suddenly asked curiously?

The corners of Xu Li's mouth twitched, and he hated that iron could not become steel, and raised his chin: "......"

Li Yan raised his eyes and saw that in a brightly lit tent, Xu Pengju's voice came from him, which sounded so uninhibited now......

"You dog minion, what are you rubbing, play your cards!"

"Thirty thousand? Aren't you supposed to make a two-of-a-kind? ”

"Haha! The little master is nonsense! Pay for the little master! ”

……

……

"Humph! That bastard has to enter your brocade guard, I will give him a lot of guards, Li Baihu doesn't have to worry too much about it tomorrow! If he is really disabled, it is a big deal that the old man will support him for the rest of his life! Xu Li snorted coldly and left with his sleeves brushed up.

Li Yan was stunned, and looked at Xu Li with sympathy, he must have done evil in his previous life, and he had such a grandson...... It's a real grandson!

――――――――――

On the second day, Li Yan stood outside the Jinyi Wei camp and looked into the distance.

"Zhao Shun, is there any news from the scouts sent out?"

Zhao Shun's face was bitter. "My lord, these Mongolian Maozi are elusive, and no one knows when they will come out of nowhere."

Li Yan sighed. The Tatar attack gave him and the others a headache, and as Zhao Shun said, no one knew where they would suddenly come out.

When he was in school, Li Yan learned history well, and if he counted the time, today's little Mongolian prince should be the Mongolian Khan Dayan Khan. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongol Khan, who retreated to the Mongolian Plateau, was a continuation of the Mongol Empire, and was also known as Yanha, Ayanhan, and Dayan Khan. His real name is Batu Munch, and he is only a Jin clan. Grandson of Genghis Khan XV. In the sixteenth year of Chenghua, he was the Khan, and the Ming people were called the little prince because of their young age. With the assistance of his wife, Mandu Haihatun, he fought against Warat and defeated Warat. In the early years of Zhengde, he successively eliminated the separatist forces led by Yisimayin, Huosi, Yibula, etc., and unified the various tribes of southern Mongolia. He divided Mongolia into two wings, left and right, with 30,000 households on each wing, and divided the princes as lords. This put an end to the turmoil and turmoil in the northern region since the Ming Dynasty and established a relatively stable rule. On this basis, it has been in the market with the Ming Dynasty for many years, and there are more than 6,000 tribute envoys, and 500 people are the ones who go to Beijing. Gongdao from Datong to Juyongguan. Tributes include horses, camels, fur products, etc. Dayan Khan's unification of Mongolia brought a relatively stable production environment and promoted Mongolia's social development, and he was known as the "Lord of Zhongxing" in Mongolian history

But those are all later words, and now the little Mongolian prince pinned his hopes for Mongolian revival on attacking the northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty, and this alone was enough to make the two countries go to war.

Although Mongolia is no longer the size of Genghis Khan, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Maybe there will be a big battle in a few days, Li Yan suddenly thought.
