Chapter 179: Expedition Again

In He Qiu's sincere blessings, Lan Yu and Wang Bi went out of the plug again.

After He Qiu's earnest teaching in Miyun, they all understood how to avoid diarrhea in the soldiers again.

This is also full of morale, you must know that the last time they went out of the plug, they didn't even get a single hair along the way, and the credit is so much, this time they go out again, and they are all extremely looking forward to meritorious service.

All this burden was on Lan Yu's head.

Lan Yu and Wang Bi discussed, or use the original prepared strategy, light cavalry raid, last time it was purely an accident, this time the reason for the "unsuitability" was found, they are very confident that they can hang the Beiyuan hammer.

There will never be any more surprises!

Lan Yu rode on his horse, looking at the endless grassland, and thought so.

If there is any more accidents, I am afraid that most of the credit for the destruction of the Northern Yuan will fall on Zhu Di's head, he originally had the merits of the Battle of Jinshan that year, if such a large piece is added, it will be difficult to treat in the future.

Only Ning and Yan are the most difficult to govern, the reason is that they have a large amount of military power in their hands, and Zhu Yuanzhang originally purged a group of heroes.

If these two feudal kings are purged again, it is likely to make people feel that whoever holds military power for a long time will be suppressed.

If this trend really appears, then the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the future can be imagined.

As a general in the army, Lan Yu absolutely did not want this to happen.

So he can only use some small means, such as assassinating King Yan before, which is the most simple and rude.

Otherwise, he fears that the price will be even greater.

But now, King Yan has escaped so many assassinations, and it is too obvious to use this method again, and King Yan is not a fool, so he has no defense at all.

Lan Yu had no choice but to slowly figure it out, and when Zhu Biao ascended to the throne, he would wear down the strength of Ning Yan's second domain little by little. Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang is not young, and he and the prince can afford to wait.

As for the moment, the most important thing is to fight for merit! Compete for merit above board!

You must take the credit for the destruction of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in your own hands, and really give it to King Yan.

At that time, King Yan has both military power and prestige, and it will become extremely difficult to deal with. After all, every battle is won, as long as it is won, there will always be many upstarts in the army.

If it appears in Zhu Di's army, hehe!

When Zhu Biao ascends to the throne, I am afraid that the throne will not be stable.

With such a thought, Lan Yu galloped all the way with the army, and on the way, he wiped out an unknown number of small tribes, and finally arrived at the Baiyan Well.

But when he got here, Lan Yu was a little dumbfounded, and he discussed with Wang Bi.

"Didn't Jin Yiwei's intelligence say that the Northern Yuan King's Tent is now fishing in the sea? This hundred-eyed well is only forty miles away from the fishing sea, why don't you see the trace of the Northern Yuan king's account? ”

Speaking of the back, Lan Yu's words were already a little complaining, and he was a little skeptical about the accuracy of the information given by Jin Yiwei.

If I knew this, I didn't have to lead the light horse all the way here, although I destroyed many small tribes along the way, but I didn't get any credit, which was a big blow to Lan Yu.

Wang Bi thought about it and persuaded.

"Marquis Yongchang, I think the Northern Yuan King's Tent is here now, you see, since we arrived near the Hundred Eyes Well, there are fewer and fewer small tribes, and there are not even any more after arriving at the Hundred Eyes Well."

"But the water and grass here are abundant, I don't think the group of Tartars will not be able to see it, only because there are stronger people who have driven these small tribes away!"

Lan Yu touched his beard thoughtfully.

Wang Bi continued to preach.

"What's more, since we set out on the expedition, there has been no major military exploits, the soldiers are a little resentful, if we return to the dynasty directly, I am afraid that we will be punished by Your Majesty, even if the king of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is not in the fishing sea, as long as we go in person, the responsibility is not on us, but on Jinyiwei."

Wang Bi said this to Lan Yu's heart, if he was allowed to give up like this, Lan Yu would be extremely unwilling in his heart.

As the commander of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he led more than 100,000 troops, and he cut down some people from small tribes, and he would be embarrassed if he said it, and if he didn't do it well, he would be ridiculed as Li Guang and become a lost general.

This is definitely not what Lan Yu wants, he has always taken his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun as an example, and he can run rampant with 100,000 troops!

If he has more than 100,000 generals and is disgraced, he will really lose face.

Lan Yu thought about it again and again, and decided to rest in the Hundred Eyes Well for a day first, and then quickly led the army straight to the fishing sea!

However, considering the possibility that the Northern Yuan King's Tent was fishing in the Sea, Lan Yu was very cautious to let his subordinates live in the cave and not see the fireworks, so as not to be seen by the people in the King's Tent and slip away.

After resting for a day, the Ming army recuperated and followed Lan Yu to continue forward, walking in the direction of the fishing sea.

Soon, Lan Yu led the army to the southern end of the fishing sea, and Lan Yu found that the grassland under his feet had traces of a large number of people and animals gathering, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

proudly said to Wang Bi: "This is the will of heaven!" ”

Random Lan Yu ordered the whole army to prepare for battle, no one took off their armor, no horse left the saddle, scattered scouts, and looked for the specific location of the king's tent.

It had been determined that the king's tent was not far from here, and the anxiety in Lan Yu's heart was gone, and he calmly waited for news from the scouts in the camp.

Lan Yu didn't wait too long, and soon the scouts reported back, and found that the king's tent was about eighty miles northeast of the fishing sea.

Lan Yu resisted the excitement in his heart, and immediately ordered to go down, Wang Bibu was the vanguard, and went straight to the king's tent!

It was a great wind and sand, and the group of dignitaries and nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were still sitting in the king's tent, and no trace of the Ming army was found at all.

It was also because they were too careless, thinking that the Ming army did not have enough food and grass, and it was difficult to penetrate into this place, after all, it was already far away from Beiping.

It's not that no one in the king's tent knows the movements of the Ming Dynasty in Beiping and Daning, but because of this long distance and the current situation of the division of the Northern Yuan, they think that the target of the Ming army is the clansmen in the Yinshan area.

When the Ming army arrived in front of them, the entire royal tent was in a panic, and all of them were not ready for battle.

Wang Bi was overjoyed when he saw such a situation!

Without saying a word, he directly led his forward troops, broke through the enemy camp in one fell swoop, and personally cut off the head of the Northern Yuan Captain.

Lan Yu followed the army into the king's tent camp, and those who dared to resist were killed by him one by one, and soon the entire Northern Yuan royal court was quiet, and those princes and ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty knelt on the ground.

The royal family of the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not run away, all of them were blocked here, waiting for the fall of the blue jade.

Lan Yu looked at so many people in front of him, and also felt a little tricky, he was a light horse raid this time, and there were not many people and horses around him, only more than 30,000, and the foot soldiers and baggage were all behind.

But now the people who surrendered in the Northern Yuan alone have to catch up with three times his current soldiers and horses, and the princes and ministers, plus the royal family and nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there are more than 70,000 people in total.

There are also the soldiers and horses who surrendered, these people seem to be honest now, but if there is a chance, Lan Yu believes that they will definitely not continue to be honest.

But there is no way to kill them all, if you really kill this group of people, then his reputation of blue jade will be stinky, and it will also provoke the resistance of the remnants of the Northern Yuan, and the grassland in the future may not be peaceful.

Lan Yu hesitated, discussed with Wang Bi, and decided to send the good news back to the court first. As for the captives here, they all had their feet tied and their hands tied, so that it was inconvenient for them to resist, and they were to be strictly guarded.

There is nothing else that can be done for the time being, and the best solution is to quickly take this group of people back to the territory of Daming, so as not to be robbed by the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
