When attacking Meng Yuan, the Tianshan Guard stationed by Lan Yu had always been an auxiliary. But with the surrender of Mengyuan Khan, the four armies converged, and Lan Yu's status suddenly became hot.

He not only presided over the affairs of the Fourth Army, but was also responsible for the defense of the four armies, as well as deciding when to attack, when to retreat, and a series of other matters.

This made Lan Yu seem to have a second spring, not only held a meeting of generals every day to discuss the war against the Timurid Empire, but also accepted dozens of beauties from the surrounding tribes, and experienced the wonderful feeling of being a groom every night.

However, when he learned that the military rations destined for Tianshanwei had been hijacked, he no longer had the heart to be a groom.

On this day, he once again summoned the four generals to analyze the current situation with them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is not much food in the army now, and the amount of ammunition is not enough, which is not enough to support our westward advance."

"However, we are also responsible for the robbery of military rations, and it is our failure to clear out the remnants of the enemy, which makes Meng Yuan's stragglers have a chance to take advantage of it!"

When Feng Sheng and Chang Sheng heard this, they immediately became angry.

"These damn bastards!"

"We shouldn't listen to the orders of the emperor's grandson, and be some kind of benevolent and righteous teacher!"

"According to the old man, we should kill people when we see them, and if there is no one on the grassland, no one will dare to rob the military rations!"

Fu Youde listened to the words of the two killers, one old and one young, and frowned unhappily.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, if the Mengyuan people loot the military rations, the imperial court's telegram will mention it."

"Now the imperial court only reported that the military rations were robbed, but there was no mention of who robbed the military rations, there is something strange in this matter!"

When several people heard Fu Youde say this, they immediately looked over curiously.

"Old man, who do you think did this, it can't be an internal ghost, right?"

Fu Youde pouted.

"Hard to say!"

"The emperor's grandson Xingbing the Yuan, the upper should be the heart of heaven, the lower should be in line with the will of the people, and the government and the opposition are also unanimous with the outside world, which is naturally invincible."

"But after the Yuan, the imperial grandson still wants to do something to Timur, which may touch the interests of some people and make them worry about whether the Ming Dynasty will continue to fight in the future."

When Lan Yu heard this, his old face was covered with frost for a moment.

"Who are those people?"

"Your old man can't be this kind of person, right?"

When Fu Youde heard this, he hurriedly patted his chest.

"We are military generals, we are definitely not afraid of war, but some people are afraid......"

"For example?"

"Such as civil officials, such as feudal kings......"

Fu Youde's words once again caused confusion among the people in the military tent.

"Old man, I can understand that you say that civil officials hate wars, but why do vassal kings hate them too?"

Fu Youde rolled his eyes in embarrassment when he heard this.

"The old man heard it mentioned in the early years, saying that the imperial grandson intends to change the title of the king of the Ming Dynasty and seal it to the land outside the Ming Dynasty."

"If we defeat the Timurid Empire, do you say that the imperial grandson can see such a large territory unguarded?"

Several people shook their heads in unison when they heard this.

"Can't!"

"Then the old man asks you again, if you are His Majesty the Emperor, will you divide this large territory to the meritorious ministers?"

Feng Sheng scoffed when he heard this.

"Old Fu, what you said is the old yellow calendar, since the Han Dynasty, you have seen which emperor gave his courtiers a real seal, aren't they all false seals."

"Our Daming is even more so, it's good to be able to issue Yulu on time, do you dare to expect the imperial court to give you a fief?"

"Besides, even if His Majesty the Emperor dares to give it, do you dare to ask for it, don't you dare to ask for it, aren't you afraid of causing trouble to your children and grandchildren?"

Fu Youde smiled when he heard this.

"The old man naturally doesn't dare to ask for it, but think about it, if you were His Majesty the Emperor, what would you do with these lands?"

"Will it be given to outsiders, or will it be given to your own son?"

Everyone said in unison.

"Of course, it's for my own son!"

Fu Youde stroked his palms and smiled.

"Yes!"

"That's what His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Grandson think!"

"Not to mention the Timurid Empire that is about to be defeated, it is the large land of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and if you don't know it, there will be a few princes to come over!"

"Uh-uh......"

When several people heard this, they were stunned.

Although Fu Youde's words are a bit outrageous, they listen to it and make sense of it.

Feng Sheng also rarely spoke in a low voice, and when he spoke, he didn't forget to look outside the tent, for fear that someone would eavesdrop outside.

"According to what the old man said, this case of military rations being robbed is really difficult to solve. If it is found on the head of the vassal king, won't it make the upper position and the imperial grandson ugly? ”

Fu Youde took a sip of milk tea, and then frowned.

"Let the kitchen put some more salt!"

"What?"

Fu Youde's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of several people, and they looked at him viciously.

"Let's talk about business now, you don't pick this and that!"

"Tell us what we should do!"

Fu Youde saw that everyone was so angry, so he put away the sour and rotten stinks and analyzed them seriously.

"I think so, if the imperial grandson sends a civil official to investigate this matter, he will definitely not be able to investigate anything."

"As soon as the civil officials are in a group, they will hide from each other even if there is something. Second, civil servants are rigid in their work, and they are easy to be led by the nose. ”

"But if the imperial grandson uses Jinyiwei and asks Jinyiwei to investigate this matter, this matter will definitely be investigated. Even if the head of the prince is found, the brocade guard will play it secretly, and will not embarrass the throne and His Royal Highness the crown prince. ”

Fu Youde's analysis directly stunned Feng Shengzhen, and even Chang Sheng, a junior, was impressed by Fu Youde's wit, and secretly decided to ask this person more in the future.

Only Lan Yu was lying on the chair with a lazy appearance, as if she was thinking about something.

"I'm afraid this matter can't be explained by Jinyiwei!"

"As long as Jinyiwei finds out the key clues, even if they want to hide it, I'm afraid they can't hide it, someone will always poke this matter open, and then make it known to the world."

When Fu Youde heard this, he immediately woke up from his smug intoxication and gave Lan Yu a thumbs up.

"Liang Guogong said this thoroughly!"

"This matter is really unjustified by Jinyiwei, even if they don't want to make this matter public, the civil officials will not stop!"

"After all, for civil officials, it makes them uncomfortable for military generals to become big and for vassal kings to be big!"

Chang Sheng listened to the conversation between the two, only to feel that his brain was becoming more and more insufficient.

He only knew about fighting before, and he didn't know that there were so many complicated things in the court.

But this can't be blamed on him, it can only be said that he is young and has little experience. Like Fu Youde and Lan Yu and others, they all witnessed the whole process of Daming from scratch.

For example, when Lao Zhu wanted to crown the princes as kings, almost all the civil officials in the court jumped out to oppose it, so Lao Zhu personally went to the court with a bow and arrow, and whoever dared to persuade would shoot whom!

Lan Yu was slightly stunned, and said with a complicated expression.

"We've got to hurry!"

Feng Sheng asked in surprise when he heard this.

"What's speeding up?"

"Fight against Timur!"

"If it drags on any longer, it will not be good for us, I am afraid that the upper position and the imperial grandson will not be able to withstand such a big pressure, and they will be forced to withdraw from the army under pressure."

"We must fight a few victories before the imperial court withdraws, and it is best to defeat the Timurid Empire in one go!"

When Feng Sheng heard this, he laughed and screamed on the spot.

"Lao Lan, you're bragging again!"

"This thing is as fast as you want?"

"The soldier is good to say, he can get on with a gun. What about those cannons weighing thousands of pounds, you can't march with cannons, right? ”

"You must know that it is not winter, and you can pull the whole plow to run all over the grassland!"

Fu Youde took Feng Sheng's words and persuaded.

"Lao Lan, you're right, we really have to hurry, but first, there is a shortage of food in the army, second, there is a shortage of weapons and ammunition, and third, it is spring, the ice and snow are melting, and the roads are muddy, so we can't transport such a heavy cannon!"

Lan Yu was also irritated when she heard the complaints of the two.

"How can the old man not know this?"

"But think about it, if we don't fight now, we'll have to drag it out until this winter!"

"Now there are still eight months before winter, are you sure that the throne and the imperial grandson can hold out until eight months later?"

Fu Youde still muttered unwillingly.

"But the imperial grandson never urged us to send troops......"

When Lan Yu heard this, she slapped the case on the spot.

"You know!"

"My nephew and grandson are the strongest, even if the court is poor and eats tree bark, it won't put pressure on us!"

"But we old guys should be grateful, it's not easy for my nephew and grandson to support us to fight outside, we can't live up to his heart!"

When several people saw Lan Yu say this, they immediately sat upright, and looked respectfully in the direction of the capital.

Feng Sheng was the first to stand up and make a statement.

"Lan Yu is right, we can't let that kid down!"

"It's not easy for that kid to support us in the war, there has never been a shortage of military supplies, and the meritorious service reward is also approved when it is reported, and we have never been questioned."

"Now that kid is in trouble, we elders can't watch the excitement!"

"The old man agrees with Lan Yu's opinion and agrees with sending troops on this matter!"

With Feng Sheng's opening, Fu Youde and Chang Sheng, needless to say, both stood up and expressed their positions.

"The old man also supports sending troops!"

"Several old generals have agreed to send troops, and I, who is an uncle, naturally cannot be an exception!"

Lan Yu glanced at Chang Sheng when he heard this.

"What are you doing with the fun, we didn't count you at all when we ran people just now, hahaha!"

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde feigned anger when they heard this.

"Okay, you Lanyu, you dare to use tricks with the two of us!"

"I have to kill you another day, and let you get drunk for three days and three nights!"

Lan Yu shouted when he heard this.

"Who is afraid of whom, you two have the ability to go together!"

Several veterans laughed for a while, and then began to assign tasks.

"Lao Feng, this time you can watch the house."

"You are the oldest of the three of us, and I am afraid that you will not be able to come back after crossing the river."

Feng Shengdeng was so angry that his eyes turned into copper bells.

"What kind of bullshit are you putting on, you can't come back!"

"The old man doesn't take care of the house, let the old man take care of the house, he can do this job!"

Fu Youde did not shirk when he heard this, and gladly accepted this suggestion.

"Okay!"

"Then I'll take care of the house, Lao Feng and Lao Lan will attack mainly, and Chang Sheng will be used as a support force, which side will be frustrated and which side will be supported."

Chang Sheng doesn't want to fight, but he is surrounded by people from his father's generation, and people can make themselves do the next to him in a meeting, which has already given him enough face, and he will be too ignorant if he is pushing back.

"Good!"

"The juniors will definitely ensure the logistics and fully support the two veterans!"

In a few words, the four of them finalized the attack on the Timurid Empire, which was not weaker than the Ming Dynasty.

Such a child's play, so casual, not to mention that the people of the Timurid Empire can't accept it, even Changsheng can't accept it.

"By the way, shouldn't we report to the imperial grandson and let the imperial grandson know our actions?"

Lan Yu shook her head without hesitation and refused.

"No way!"

"No one is allowed to report today's incident, and whoever dares to report it will be cut down by the old man on the charge of disobeying the military order!"

Lan Yu's words were obviously bragging, and he couldn't cut any of the three people in the military tent.

But he didn't expect to scare these people, just imagined them to show their attitude.

"General Lan, isn't this okay?"

Lan Yu snorted coldly when she heard this.

"The old man's words are for you, don't think that you are the emperor's grandson and uncle, so you don't listen to the old man's orders!"

"Speaking of which, the old man is still the emperor's grandson, not much farther than you!"

"This ......"

Fu Youde saw that Chang Sheng was still hesitating, and immediately stood up and explained to him.

"Chang Sheng, this matter is not trivial, it is better not to tell His Highness if you can not tell it, so as not to worry His Highness."

"In addition, military rations can be robbed, who knows if there are internal ghosts around His Highness, in case this matter is spread, not only His Highness will suffer more pressure, but our march will also be frustrated."

"Oooh......"

Chang Sheng showed a sudden expression, immediately stopped arguing, and then silently returned to his barracks to reorganize the army, preparing to follow Lan Yu and others to march into the Timurid Empire.

While Lan Yu and the others were preparing for battle, across the river outside Broken Leaf City, 100,000 Timurid Imperial Iron Cavalry were gathering.

In order to be able to see the Ming soldiers for the first time, Timur the Great built a high tower behind the cavalry to facilitate the observation of the Ming army's combat methods.

This made the defenders in Shattered Leaf City very nervous, knowing that when the boundary was drawn, Lan Yu only stationed three thousand people here!

"General, what should we do now, do you want to exit Broken Leaf City and flee back to General Lan's camp!"

When Li Yan heard this, he gave Xiaobing an ear scraper on the spot.

"Fuck you!"

"General Lan has entrusted such an important task to us, how can we abandon the city and escape!"

"Even if we all die here, we must defend the city for me!"

Li Yan is none other than the rival in love who was fooled and lame by Zhu Yunxi, who wanted to make a contribution and immediately became the son of Li Jinglong, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that his general was so determined, the little soldier could only shut up aggrievedly. But when he saw the black and oppressive enemy army outside, his legs still trembled with fright.

Li Yan also felt a little too much after beating the small soldiers, and immediately spoke out to appease.

"If you are really afraid, I will write you a letter, you bring it to General Lan, and ask General Lan for support!"

Hearing this, the soldier stubbornly refused.

"Swear to live and die with the broken leaves!"

Li Yan smiled disdainfully when he heard this.

"Fool!"

"There is no shortage of ghosts like you in Broken Leaf City, you better get out of me, lest you stay in the city and disturb my army's heart!"

Li Yan said this, regardless of the opposition of the soldiers, immediately brushed and wrote him a letter asking for help, and then ordered someone to forcibly tie him into a bamboo basket and fall down, and also brought him two horses down by the way.

"Hurry up, whether Lao Tzu and the soldiers can return to Daming alive depends on whether your kid runs fast or not!"

When the soldiers in the city heard this, their faces looked better.

"General rest assured, even if you are tired and die halfway, you will send the news to General Lan's camp!"

Li Yan watched the little soldier leave, secretly scolded his back, and then called the guards over and asked him to send a telegram to the Blue Jade Army.

"Inform General Lan, just say that the Timurid Empire is raising troops to attack, and there are millions of cavalry alone, and the infantry is even more overwhelming, uncountable!"

"General, you are lying about the military situation, and you have committed a felony by being known by the superiors!"

Li Yan said angrily when he heard this.

"Did I lie?"

"You go and check for me, how many people are on the other side!"

When the guards heard this, they were speechless for a while, there were people everywhere on the other side of the river, so how could he check!

"Let's send a telegram!"

Li Yan snorted coldly when he heard this, and pouted disdainfully at the back of the guard.

If he was so obedient, it would have ended, causing him to waste so many words.

After Li Yan finished complaining, when he looked at the other side of the river again, the pride in his heart spontaneously arose.

The time has come for me Li Yan to make meritorious contributions!

As long as I defend Broken Leaf City, I will be the number one hero in the attack on the Timurid Empire!
