Chapter 168: Su Xiaolan

Hearing this, Zhu Huiyan couldn't help but be surprised.

"When? Why do you want to conquer Liaodong in person, can't you send those generals there? I think your generals are very powerful. ”

"It's about soon, the Jurchens in Liaodong are very powerful, and I'm not at ease if I let other people go."

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

After these battles in Nanyang, Lu Yan has already brushed up on a large number of military merits.

Lu Yan estimated that he could use more than 300,000 troops in this battle in Liaodong.

And he intended to designate at least 200,000 of them as cavalry, so that the battle would be a large-scale cavalry battle.

But it is simply impossible to transport hundreds of thousands of war horses to Liaodong in a few months, and the only solution is for him to go to Liaodong in person.

"The concubines think that you should still think carefully, if the Jurchens are cornered, they can at least use more than 100,000 troops, and under the pressure of extermination, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated."

Zhu Huiyan said with some apprehension.

"It doesn't matter, it's all in the king's hands."

Lu Yan said with a smile.

Seeing Zhu Huiyan, she was still worried.

Lu Yan pulled her into his arms, gently patted her powder back and said, "Don't be afraid, this king will not lose, this king is destined to return, no one will be the opponent of this king." This king will always win! ”

As if to verify his words, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then someone shouted: "Nanyang victory!" Nanyang Victory!! ”

"What's the matter, this king didn't lie to you without you."

Lu Yan said to Zhu Huiyan with a smile.

Zhu Huiyan only felt that her mood was extremely complicated at this time, if Liaodong was defeated, then what would Lu Yan do next?

She had heard of Lu Yan's plan for a westward expedition. But if the Ming Dynasty is not unified, will he be relieved to march west?

As soon as she thought of this, Zhu Huiyan felt entangled.

"Lord Wang, Nanyang has sent good news."

At this time, a guard walked in with a happy face and a battle report in his hand.

Lu Yan hurriedly took the battle report and read it.

After four months of sailing and fighting, LΓΌ Yan's southern expeditionary army completely captured Sriwijaya and Jawa, defeating the natives and Hongyi there.

The Dutch in Batavia all surrendered after fierce fighting. According to LΓΌ Yan's order, these Dutchmen were to be transported back to Daming and distributed as slaves, and they were not to be ransomed.

However, the indigenous resistance of Jawa was somewhat fierce, after all, it was a former regional power, so they killed many people there.

In addition, they have heard from Australia and have sent ships to look for them. Good news will come soon.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yan's face.

Malacca finally came under his control, which is something that China would dream of doing in later generations, but he didn't expect him to do it himself.

The whole of Nanyang also fell into his hands, if you add Australia. Then he will expand thousands of miles of land for Daming, which is a real achievement of the world.

However, the changes in Beijing made him feel that the war in Nanyang should be over, and it was time to concentrate on solving Liaodong.

What he didn't notice, Zhu Huiyan's face showed an extremely complicated look.

After returning home to her yard, Zhu Huiyan retreated from everyone, and then Su Xiaolan called over.

The day before the wedding, Lu Yan ordered someone to drive away all the eunuchs and palace maids sent by the Ming Court, leaving Su Xiaolan alone.

Lu Yan would know even if he didn't have to guess. The Ming Dynasty will definitely plant spies and the like among these people, and he is very uneasy to put these people by his side.

Therefore, now there is only one Su Xiaolan's personal palace maid by Zhu Huiyan's side, and the other palace maids were all arranged by Lu Yan later.

It didn't take long. Su Xiaolan left the mansion in a hurry, and happened to meet Jia Xu, who was summoned by Lu Yan to discuss the matter.

"Hello Mr. Jia."

Su Xiaolan hurriedly saluted.

"Xiaolan, where are you going?"

Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Maybe it was because of her weak heart, Xiaolan always felt that Jia Xu's smile seemed to be hiding something.

"I'll go out and buy some rouge gouache."

Su Xiaolan hurriedly replied.

"Isn't there a supply of rouge gouache in the house?"

Jia Xu asked again.

"No, I don't like those in the house, I want to see if there are any I like in the city."

"Do you want me to send some guards to keep you safe?"

"Nope! No more! The city of Hangzhou is very safe. ”

Su Xiaolan hurriedly replied.

Jia Xu nodded, so she decided not to tease the poor little girl anymore. Let her get out of here.

After walking away, Su Xiaolan couldn't help but pat her breasts, which had become a lot bigger recently.

This Mr. Jia is a smart man. Her eyes were very poisonous, but fortunately she didn't show any feet.

After leaving the palace. She walked around the city for a while, and when she was sure that no one was following her, she headed for a rouge gouache shop.

"Boss, did the goods I ordered you order last time arrive?"

After entering the store, Su Xiaolan pretended to be loud and said.

"Ouch, I said how come there are always magpies crowing on the branches today, it turns out that Miss Xiaolan is coming. It's here! Arrived yesterday! I wanted to deliver something to the house, but I didn't expect you to come in person. ”

Soon a shiny shopkeeper came over and said.

"Take me to see it."

Su Dao.

"Please."

With that, they walked back.

After entering a secret room at the back, the shopkeeper quickly knelt down.

"The little Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhong has seen Miss Xiaolan."

"No excuses."

Su Xiaolan said impatiently, "This time, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has heard very important news, and you need to spread it immediately. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly made a look of deafness.

"This year, King Wu plans to personally conquer Liaodong, and he also asks the saint to prepare early."

"Do you want to conquer Liaodong in person?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised, this is very important news.

"How many troops does King Wu plan to use? How are the preparations for food, ordnance, etc.? When exactly will the troops be dispatched? ”

Zhong Million hurriedly asked.

"This is not clear, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess did not inquire in order to avoid suspicion."

Su Dao.

"How can this be. This is very important news. I also asked Miss Xiaolan to tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess that for the sake of the Zhu family's eternal inheritance, please also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to inquire clearly. ”

Zhong Million hurriedly said.

"I know, it's just that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not so easy to persuade."

Su Dao.

Zhong Million also understands Su Xiaolan's difficulties, after all, Zhu Huiyan is the master.

But for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. They have to.

After persuading Su Xiaolan for a while, Su Xiaolan hurriedly left here with a gift box.

About half an hour later, a man who looked like a servant left the shop slowly, and walked out of the city towards a manor.

It didn't take long for a fast horse to leave the estate and gallop north.

Zhang Jin galloped all the way. He'd done this kind of thing many times, so he was no stranger to it.

After about two hours, it was getting dark.

At this time, a lonely inn appeared on the side of the road, and Zhang Jin dismounted in front of this inn.

"Ouch, isn't this Zhang Ye? I'm here again to stay in the hotel. ”

Soon, a familiar shopkeeper came over.

"That's right. Help me take care of the horses and remember to feed them with good forage. ”

Zhang Jin handed him the fast horse and said.

"Okay, you just have to rest assured, you won't delay your trip tomorrow."

This shop said.

Zhang Jin nodded, and walked into the store after speaking.

Just like before, he booked an upper room in the store and had the food delivered to the room.

He has something very important on him, and he doesn't want it to be stolen outside.

That's the time. Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and then some voices came in through the door.

Zhang Jin pushed open the door and found that some people were congratulating the shopkeeper.

"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Lin for getting a son. This time it's going to have to be celebrated anyway. ”

"Hahaha! Of course, I'm announcing that all drinks are free today, and I'll be bringing out our family's secret wine, so you won't be drunk today. ”

The shopkeeper had a happy smile on his face.

"The Lin family's secret wine is a must-have in the neighborhood, and everyone is blessed today."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but rejoice.

Zhang Jin's face showed a disdainful smile. What can a roadside inn have to show off, he doesn't know how much he has to pay for the good wine in Nanjing.

After returning to the room. He continued to rest.

It didn't take long for a shopkeeper to bring in the food he had ordered.

"Guest officer. Your meals. This pot of wine was given by our shopkeeper and is very precious. ”

"Put it on the table."

Zhang Jin said.

After the shopkeeper left, Zhang Jin didn't care.

But the smell of wine kept coming out of the flask, and he was very surprised when he smelled it.

"What wine is so fragrant?"

Zhang Jin said in disbelief.

With that, he stood up and walked over to the table.

When the flask is opened, a strong aroma of wine hits the nose.

Although Zhang Jin tasted a lot of wine, he never knew which wine could exude such a strong aroma, which made him can't help but take a sip.

"Good wine! It's really good wine! Spicy enough! Tough enough! ”

After drinking, Zhang Jin couldn't help but smack his lips and praise.

Zhang Jin suddenly felt that compared with this kind of fine wine, the fine wine he drank before was really light compared to Qing Shui.

This made him can't help but look at this store differently, and this kind of wine is an absolute must in Nanjing.

After knowing the benefits of this wine, Zhang Jin happily drank and ate at the same time.

But it soon became clear that he had underestimated the strength of the wine, and without much of it, he fell completely drunk.

Lu Yan smiled bitterly at the note in front of him, he didn't expect that what he had just said to his wife would be leaked out so quickly.

However, her wife's spy level is really bad enough, doesn't she know that she has already discovered her evil intentions, and any amateur spy in the future will be much better than her.

Jia Xu looked at Lu Yan's face with a sense of banter, and it was also a good thing to occasionally see the lord eating deflated.

"Lord, do you want us to arrest those people, this is a real military matter, but we must not reveal it."

Jia Xu said.

Lu Yan pondered for a while, then shook his head.

"Don't worry about them for now, the transportation is inconvenient now, and it will take a long time to get the news to the Jingshi, and it should be too late by the time they find out. Let's arrest them in two months. ”

"What about the princess?"

Jia Xu asked.

"I have my own opinion on this matter, you don't need to ask."

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but shake his head, and it was estimated that in the end, it was just a big thing and a small thing.

However, he has always liked Mingzhe to protect himself, how could he offend Zhu Huiyan in this matter.

"My lord, who are you going to appoint as the head coach this time?"

"What do you think of Han Shin?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

"Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin?"

"That's right, there aren't many commanders who can command 300,000 troops well, and Han Xin is definitely the best one among them."

"Wen He is here to congratulate the lord first."

Jia Xu suddenly said with a long sigh.

"What is the joy of this king?"

Lu Yan said curiously.

"Congratulations to the prince, this battle will definitely be able to sweep Liaodong and then dominate the world."

"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to have a joking day, Master Jia. ”

Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"This is not a joke, this is Jia's heartfelt words."

Jia Xu said with a straight face.

Lu Yan smiled and nodded, with his current strength, if he couldn't sweep Liaodong again, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him. (To be continued)
