In the early morning of the second day, in the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace, a grand "sending ceremony" was being held.

The civil and military officials stood solemnly on both sides, holding their breath. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn. Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also changed into a glamorous and gorgeous martial arts uniform today.

The general of the conquest, Yongchang Marquis Lanyu entered the Danqi, bowed four times, entered the palace from the West Majesty, and then knelt.

After the official announcement of the system, Zhu Yuanzhang held the rune and the axe, turned his head to look at the prince Zhu Biao standing solemnly on the side, and suddenly smiled at him: "Biao'er, you will award the blue jade festival." With that, he handed him the knotted Yue in his hand.

Seeing such a scene, Yan Wang Zhu Di's heart sank slightly. It turned out that this "sending ceremony" was originally awarded by Zhu Yuanzhang, who should have been the emperor, to show grandeur in accordance with the rules. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the prince to do it for him, which obviously showed another deep meaning.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao bowed down and took the Jieyue with both hands, handed it to Lan Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said to him in a deep voice: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been hunting for four years, the hussar general, the champion Hou Huo went to the sick horse to step on the Huns, sealed the wolf and lived in Xu Mountain, and the barbarians fled far away in a battle, and there was no royal court in Monan. On the occasion of parting today, I gave the general a song of Wang Wei's youth in the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of this, after a slight pause, he continued: "Born in Shihan Yulinlang, he first fought Yuyang with hussars. I don't know how to suffer from the side court, and I still smell the fragrance of chivalrous bones when I die. I hope that the general can also be like the champion of the Han Dynasty, and build this world-famous feat for my Ming Dynasty. ”

Lan Yu has followed her brother-in-law Chang Yuchun since she was a child, and what she has pursued all her life is to one day lead the army alone like Huo Quai, and build immortal feats, so as to prove that she is not weaker than Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde, these founding feats of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, I heard the inspiring verses of the prince Zhu Biao in my ears, and the knots held high in my hands were as heavy as Mount Tai, and my body couldn't help trembling slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Zhu Biao's recommendation yesterday in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, and let Lan Yu take command of the expedition, what he wanted was today's result, he turned his head and said to Lan Yu sharply: "I asked Biao'er to give you a temperance, allow you to act cheaply, and give you the right to make decisions on the spot." Purging the remnants of the Desert Northern Tartars is in one fell swoop. ”

Seeing Lan Yu's demeanor, Zhu Quan sighed secretly in his heart: Last time Marshal Feng Sheng went on an expedition, he didn't make such a big move, the old man was so pretentious, and the surname Lan was afraid that he only needed Zhu Biao's words, and immediately pulled out his sword and killed me and Zhu Laosi, and he would not frown.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, the blue jade with bright armor and bright armor went out to the soldiers of the Le Department outside the noon gate, built a flag, sounded the golden drum, and marched in the ranks. The music is prelude, and the hundred officials send it out in turn.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the tower of the Forbidden City, looking at the backs of Lan Yu, Zhu Di, and Zhu Quan, and he was also extremely emotional in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: Lan Yu, this kid is arrogant, I have left it in Yingtian for more than a month, and I have sharpened it to the sharpest. If it is said that my Ming Dynasty has been recuperating after all these years, it is ready to attack like a strong bow and crossbow, then Lan Yu is undoubtedly this sharp arrow that shot at the throat of Togus Timur, hoping that he can seal his throat with an arrow and complete Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong's unfulfilled wish.

Zhu Quan led the master Qin Zhuofeng, Ma Sanbao, Jing Jun and Sima Chao, who pretended to be guards, galloped on horseback, followed behind Zhu Di, the king of Yan, out of Yingtian City, and led the three thousand Ming troops to gallop northward and embark on the journey. After galloping for dozens of miles, looking back at Ying Tiancheng and the high-morale Ming soldiers behind him, the scene when Xu Ying left yesterday came to mind, and he secretly wondered in his heart: The Tartar Emperor will definitely not surrender, how many people can come back alive this time? Will I ever be able to come back to her alive?

When encamping in the evening, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was in the tent. Zhu Quan looked at the only two people in the account, and couldn't help but smile: "Fourth brother, you recommended Li Jinglong to be a member of the military department, this hand is very clever." It turned out that when the civil and military officials saw him off, he saw Li Jinglong wearing a five-grade civil official costume and following behind Qi Tai, a waiter in the military department, and only then did he know that he had filled the vacancy of the foreign officer of the military department. I just heard Zhu Di talk about recommending Li Jinglong, so he said this.

Zhu Di laughed and said: "Some time ago, Wang Gan, a member of the military department, had to go home to guard the system because of his mother's funeral, and someone had to make up for this position. There are already too many sour talents in the court, so it's better to have one less sharp tooth to fight against us. ”

Zhu Quan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "There are indeed too many cold and hard stones like Huang Zicheng in the court, can there be one less ......" At this time, he suddenly stopped speaking and frowned slightly. It turned out that at this moment, he heard a footstep and came to a few feet outside the tent. Zhu Quan has been practicing martial arts with his master Qin Zhuofeng for a long time, and his ear power is far better than that of ordinary people.

Zhu Di saw that Zhu Quan suddenly stopped talking, and when he was slightly stunned, he suddenly heard a person outside the tent say loudly: "Xiaguan Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Tongzhi Cao Wenbin asks to see His Royal Highness King Yan." After turning his head to look at Zhu Quan, he said in a deep voice, "Lord Cao, please come in." ”

As the curtain lifted, a tall figure stepped into the tent.

Zhu Quan, Zhu Di looked at it, and saw that this person was more than half a head taller than the two of them, and he had thick eyebrows and big eyes on a Chinese face, which looked quite rough and mighty, and he actually had a bit of the taste of a green forest hawker. Wearing a gorgeous flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on the waist, his expression looked very respectful.

Zhu Quan heard that he secretly thought in his heart after reporting his official position: In the past, Jiang Xian was in front of Lan Yu, and he once reported his official position as the Tongzhi of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, and this Cao Wenbin is the Tongzhi of Nanzhen Fusi, so it can be seen that in the past, I was only afraid that he was still a figure who was on a par with Jiang Xian in Jinyi Weizhong, and he must pay more attention in the future.

Zhu Di was also very interested in Cao Wenbin, and said with a smile: "Lord Cao, this king has also heard of you for a long time, and I have to meet you today." ”

Cao Wenbin bowed slightly and said: "I am in charge of the Jinyi Guard's edict and the affairs of the secret agents outside the Saiwai, so I have never participated in the court meeting, and I have no chance to know the two Highnesses, this time I am leading a hundred subordinates at the behest of His Majesty to protect the safety of the two Highnesses." Assist General Lan Yu in exterminating the remnants of the Northern Yuan. ”

Zhu Quan heard that Cao Wenbin was in charge of spy work before, and immediately became interested, and asked with a smile: "I don't know how much Lord Cao knows about the details of the Mobei Yuan Army?" Can you tell us a little bit? ”

Cao Wenbin frowned slightly when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself in his heart: This time, the emperor awarded the Blue Jade Jieyue to show the right of the commanders of the three armies to make decisions on the spot, if I tell the two princes about this hidden situation behind his back, I am afraid that he will be unhappy if he knows. Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Xia Guan should have gone to see General Lan Yu after meeting the two highnesses and informed him of this. Since His Royal Highness has inquired, it is better for us to go to General Lan's tent together and consult the details together. ”

Zhu Quan and the others could hear him pushing the boat down the river without a trace, and their hearts couldn't help but be stunned.

After the three of them got out of the tent, they walked towards Lan Yu's handsome tent together.

Seeing that Lan Yu's Qianhu Ping'an was leading the guards to patrol around, Zhu Quan recalled Cao Wenbin's caution, and secretly thought to himself: The army has its own rules in the army, Lan Yu, this kid is the commander of the Northern Expedition army, and Zhu Laosi and I should keep a low profile. Thinking of this, he immediately asked Jing Jun to go first and ask to see Yu Lanyu.

At this time, it was already dark, and Zhu Quan and the other three entered the wide tent, only to see Lan Yu and his deputy Wang Bi standing side by side in front of a huge map, whispering something. The map was very familiar, and after looking closely, I realized that it was the well-marked map that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, handed to Lan Yu in the imperial study yesterday. It turned out that Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, who followed Lan Yu on the expedition this time, Geng Zhong and Sun Ke, the governors of the city, also followed Feng Sheng's army to expedition to Liaodong last time. At this time, there were only two key figures in the army, the commander Lan Yu and his deputy Dingyuan Hou Wang Bi.

Wang Bi saw Zhu Quan and the other three coming, sighed secretly in his heart, and secretly thought: It seems that His Majesty still values these two highnesses, although he is relatively peaceful by nature, but he is also a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has strong martial arts, and he is quite discerning, so he can naturally see that this expedition with the army, specifically protecting King Yan, King Ning's Jinyi Guard's martial arts are quite rooted, and it is obvious that he is the elite of the Jinyi Guard under Cao Wenbin.

Cao Wenbin arched his hand to Lan Yu, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, Xia Guan was in charge of the secret agent affairs of the Mobei Yuan Army, and this time he served with the army by His Majesty's holy order, in addition to protecting the two highnesses, he will also do his best to assist the general in the Northern Expedition. ”

Hearing this, Lan Yu nodded and said slowly: "Let's tell me about the situation that your subordinates have discovered, the main general of the Yuan army, the strength of the troops, etc., the more detailed the better." Saying this, I couldn't help but think in my heart: This surnamed Cao is not as annoying as Jiang Xian. It turned out that although Lan Yu was brutal by nature, he had never had much affection for Jinyiwei, who had always been secretive about these activities.

After Cao Wenbin groaned for a while, he came to the map, pointed to the two seas not far apart in the west of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and said: "These two seas are called Yuerhai and Kuoluan Haizi. ”

When Zhu Quan heard him say this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Can the water of these two lakes be drinkable?" As he said this, he secretly thought in his heart: In the past, the teacher taught in geography class that inland lakes are also divided into saltwater lakes and freshwater lakes, and the water of saltwater lakes cannot be drunk by people and livestock. The last expedition to Liaodong had already made him fully realize that for these nomadic tribes who carried a large number of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, the importance of water was to ask this question.

"The water from both lakes is drinkable." When Cao Wenbin said this, he pointed to the meandering rivers around the two lakes and said: "Because the aquatic plants near these rivers and lakes are very lush in summer and autumn, the Mobei Yuan army has a large range of activities when the horses and feet are strong, and it is extremely difficult to grasp their accurate location when they are migrating from time to time.
