If Lan Yu didn't mention it, Gao Rui forgot about it, so he asked, "Then why does Abel think so?" ”

Lan Yu picked up the wine, dried a bowl, and then said slowly.

As a general beside Emperor Gao, Lan Yu followed Emperor Gao to fight against the Tartars when he was young, and his bravery, resourcefulness, and great respect for his bravery, skill, and resourcefulness are also deeply admired by future generations. There are also many brothers who share weal and woe around him, including the general Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and so on.

With the help of these generals, Taizu defeated the Yuan army and fled to the north, Gaozu became the emperor, so naturally he would not treat this group of brothers badly, and everyone was added to the rank and knight.

Taizu reused General Lan Yu, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu used the left deputy general, led an army of 300,000 to the south to conquer Yunnan, seeing that it was General Lan Yu, the remnant Yuan forces had not yet started fighting, they were already scared, and hurriedly went out of the city to surrender, and the remnant Yuan forces entrenched in Yunnan were also eliminated. At the same time, Lan Yu captured Dali again, captured the important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, and all the Yunnan lands were pacified. After the war, Gaozu praised Lan Yu's great merit and increased his fortune by 500 stones, and his daughter was also canonized as the concubine of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.

In the twentieth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was once again worshiped by Taizu as the deputy general of the conquest of the left, and led the troops to crusade against the Northern Expedition Yuan. The weather in the north was cold, and Lan Yu led light cavalry to brave the heavy snow to send troops and capture the crown prince of the Northern Yuan. Many of the Northern Yuan troops who returned to Shun, the world said that he was brave and strategic, which can be described as:

The moon black geese flew high, and fled in the night.

If you want to chase away the light horsemen, the snow is full of bows and knives.

But the good times didn't last long, Emperor Gao reached his twilight years, but his heart became more and more suspicious, Rong Ma spent his life, and finally sat on the throne, but he couldn't help but think, there are many generals around him, all of them have military power, he went, his children and grandchildren can sit on this throne?

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious by nature, and when they sat on the dragon chair, the first to open the knife were the brothers who fought side by side in the past.

But he never expected that this transposition would be robbed in the end.

The founding generals were killed one after another for various reasons, including his brother-in-law, Chang Yuchun.

When Lan Yu joined the army, he worshiped under Chang Yuchun's door, he was Chang Yuchun's wife and brother, and he had a very good relationship with Chang Yuchun, but he didn't expect Chang Yuchun to be killed, and he was heartbroken for a while, so he went to confront Emperor Gao, and wanted to change Chang Yuchun's innocence.

Unexpectedly, his hard work was exchanged for Emperor Gao's cold treatment, Taizu thought about it, and was worried that there was no reason to kill him.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu at home was suddenly arrested by Jinyiwei, and it turned out that he was sent high, saying that he and several of his subordinates were preparing to launch a rebellion when Emperor Gao borrowed the field, and the person who denounced him was Jiang Xuan, the commander of Jinyiwei at that time.

And all this is just an excuse for Emperor Gao, he deliberately instructed Jinyiwei to denounce Lan Yu, so that he could get rid of him.

He was arrested and imprisoned on charges of treason, skinned and his home ransacked.

In prison, when he heard that Emperor Gao, who had fought side by side in the past, did this to him, he was angry, facing the sky, and wanted to cry without tears.

Chang Yuchun is the father-in-law of the crown prince, and Lan Yu is the uncle of the crown princess, thinking that in the past, he still tried his best to think about Emperor Gao and the crown prince, and he was somewhat related by blood, fighting with the ministers who opposed the prince every day, trying his best to maintain the prince's status as the prince, and even fighting with King Yan, who had already coveted the throne.

And now everything he has done has been exchanged for such a result, which is really unwilling.

If God gave him another chance, he would rather go to King Yan and be a rebellious thief than be loyal to them.
