Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 604: Lan Yu is addicted to alcohol, Bei Yuan attacks (Subscribe please!!)

"It's good for the king?!"

Zhu Di was a little surprised, "Master Demon, how should I explain this?"

Yao Guangxiao glanced at the people around him, and Zhu Di immediately understood what was going on. He said to the people around him, "You all should leave first. I have something important to discuss with Master Yao!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers and guards around him retreated one after another.

"Master Yao, there is no one else here now, please tell me quickly!"

Zhu Di asked hurriedly.

Yao Guangxiao smiled mysteriously, "I know that Your Highness has great ambitions, but this is not the best time for Your Highness to make an appearance!"

"Your Highness, you only need to wait for the right time. I can already feel that this day is getting closer and closer."

"Master Yao, what do you mean?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said!" Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

Zhu Di nodded, "Thank you Master Yao for reminding me. I understand now."

"Listen to me, everyone. From now on, as long as the Northern Yuan army outside the city does not attack, no matter what they do, you don't have to hold regular meetings with them! If they really attack, just open fire!"

"I have just tested their quality. With their strength, even if they have ten times more people, they still can't defeat me!"

"Alright, just watch. This prince and Master Yao are going to have fun in the paradise on earth in the city now!"

After saying that, Zhu Di took Yao Guangxiao away.

"Your Highness, I am a monk and cannot go to places like heaven and earth. Your Highness can go there by yourself. I'd better go back to chant scriptures and meditate!" Yao Guangxiao said hurriedly.

"Master Yao, you are too pedantic. This Paradise is different from those brothels. We are just going there to relax. Besides, I have made an appointment with Paradise and asked for a private room. Let's have a good massage today!" Zhu Di said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll pay for it!"

"Master Yao, just enjoy yourself!"

Just as Yao Guangxiao analyzed, Louzi Pass was not the main attack site of the Northern Yuan army. The reason for sending troops here was to launch a feint attack and tie down Prince of Yan Zhu Di!
Over the years, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was not completely ignorant of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, it knew everything that happened in the Ming Dynasty.

They were very clear about the defensive capabilities of the new Great Wall. If they were to launch a direct attack on the Great Wall, how many people would the Northern Yuan Dynasty have to send in!
Moreover, most of the Northern Yuan troops were cavalry, and they were good at field battles rather than siege warfare.

The last invasion of the Ming Dynasty had proved that finding the weak points of the Great Wall or finding ways to bypass the Great Wall for an attack was the most cost-effective strategy, and they did the same this time.

And on Lan Yu's side.

Since entering the grassland.

With sufficient supply of materials, Lan Yu and a group of Huaixi generals were in a good mood. The 500,000-strong army had flags flying and looked very imposing!
Lan Yu and a group of Huaixi generals stood on a high place and watched the slowly advancing army.

Lan Yu was extremely high-spirited.

Even Lan Yu was wondering if it would be possible for him to lead this 500,000-strong army and become king or emperor on this grassland!
Of course, as soon as this idea came up, Lan Yu himself rejected it.

This idea is just a thought.

Lan Yu could give up his family and stay on the grassland as the "Emperor of the Grassland", but the 500,000 soldiers under his command were not willing to settle on the grassland with him. As long as Lan Yu dared to say this, these 500,000 soldiers would immediately rebel against him!

"Godfather, it would be great if these troops only listened to you!"

A young girl sighed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.

Swish--

Everyone looked at Lan Yu, as if trying to see how he would react.

Snapped!
Lan Yu kicked his adopted son who said this, "What nonsense are you talking about! I, Lan Yu, am the general of the Ming Dynasty Military Cabinet and the Duke of Liang, the highest position among officials. Your Majesty treats me like this, I, Lan Yu, dare not have any evil thoughts!"

"If you say this again in the future, be careful, I will skin you alive!"

"Yes, yes, it was all nonsense my son talked about. Please don't blame me, godfather! I won't say it again in the future!" The godfather nodded repeatedly, but he already understood something in his heart.

The other adopted sons also began to ponder over this situation.

"What the hell are you guys thinking about!" Lan Yu kicked him a few more times, "I'm telling you, don't think about anything else now, just think about how to win this battle!"

"Damn it, when have we ever fought such a rich battle?"

"This time, Ouyang Lun gave us 90 million in military funds. As long as you work hard to kill the enemy, you won't have to worry about not getting the money!"

"The last time we fought in Liaodong, we were timid. This time, we have sufficient military funds and supplies. You all better give me a good beating and don't embarrass me!"

"Anyone who is a coward is not my Lan Yu's godson!"

"understand?"

Hearing what Lan Yu said, the generals around him all blushed and started shouting.

"Godfather, don't worry. When we go to the battlefield, we will definitely not embarrass you."

"A big reward will always bring courage. The money given this time is enough, and the brothers below have already been full of energy!"

"Godfather, when have your godsons ever embarrassed you?"

Seeing his adopted sons crying out one by one, Lan Yu was in a good mood, "We must completely destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty this time, only then can we achieve complete success!"

"Pass on my order. Set up camp after marching another ten miles. Since Ouyang Lun prepared so many supplies for us, we can't waste them. Eat them all tonight!"

"You can kill the enemy only if you are full!"

"Godfather is wise!"

All the adopted sons echoed.

As soon as he finished speaking, another yizi stood up and said, "It's not good enough to just eat meat. It would be better if there was some wine!"

"I heard that drinking and eating meat on the grassland is a special experience!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became noisy. Some generals excitedly expressed their agreement, while some generals expressed their opposition. After all, drinking in the army is a taboo!
The two sides were arguing and could only turn their attention to Lan Yu again.

Hearing this, Lan Yu frowned at first. As a general, he naturally knew that drinking during a march was a violation of military regulations. He instinctively prepared to refuse, but the words came to his throat but he didn't say them. Mention "wine"!
Lan Yu swallowed, it was obvious that he was craving for alcohol.

Most of the generals in command loved to drink, and Lan Yu was the one who loved drinking the most. He often liked to drink secretly in his military tent, and he could not live without wine every day when he was in the capital.

Now he has arrived at the grassland with a large army from the capital. He has not had a drop of alcohol for a month or two, and the alcohol bug in his stomach has been hungry and thirsty for a long time!
Those standing around were all Lan Yu's adopted sons. Seeing Lan Yu like this, they naturally understood Lan Yu's true thoughts and spoke up immediately.

"Foster father, as the saying goes, a general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home. Now that we have left the country and entered the grassland, we are about to engage in battle with the Northern Yuan army. At this time, if we let the soldiers drink a few sips of wine and eat a few bites of meat, their morale will surely be high, which will also help in the next battle!"

"Yes, this grassland is much colder than our Central Plains. If we drink a few sips of wine to warm ourselves up, it won't be long before some soldiers freeze to death! Soldiers have already died before the battle even begins. This won't be good for the next battle!"

"Father, I also agree to let the soldiers drink wine and eat meat!"

Listening to his adopted sons' words, Lan Yu was delighted. However, he felt embarrassed to agree to it, so he said in a deep voice, "Drinking on the march is against military regulations. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, I cannot allow this!"

"If this matter gets to the ears of His Majesty or the Emperor, you will be harming my father!"

The adopted sons looked at each other, and then the leading adopted son immediately said: "Adoptive father, this is easy to solve. You just let everyone eat meat. As for drinking, it was only us adopted sons who did it. You didn't give the order, and you didn't know about it!"

"If His Majesty or the Emperor blames us, it will be the fault of us adopted sons! It has nothing to do with you!"

"Yes, yes, we did this without your knowledge."

Seeing his adopted sons say this, Lan Yu felt very satisfied. He felt that these adopted sons were not raised in vain!
In her heart, Lan Yu had already agreed.

Of course, he couldn't show it too obviously on his face. Lan Yu was still frowning, as if he was thinking hard. After a while, he said, "Since you all said so, if I stop trying to stop you, it would be against the will of the army!"

"But you are all my father's adopted sons, how can I let you take the blame!"

"Tonight, serve the meat dishes first. As for the wine, open the jars when the time comes. Soldiers who smell the wine and want to drink will naturally drink it. Even if the news reaches His Majesty or the Emperor, we can push the matter to the logistics department!"

Lan Yu said with a smile.

"Godfather is wise!"

All the adopted sons shouted!
"Foster father, I am in charge of the logistics warehouse. Among the supplies arranged by the Prince Consort, there is no other wine except a small amount of medicinal wine for disinfection and treatment of injuries. I am afraid that this cannot be blamed on the logistics department."

A young girl spoke up.

"Foolish! Ouyang Lun thinks he controls the merchants and the people. He is so arrogant that he didn't even send an official from the Ministry of Revenue to deliver the supplies. We insist that it was the merchants and the people who delivered the wine. Ouyang Lun has to bear the blame even if he doesn't want to!"

Lan Yu sneered and said, "Go, make sure to prepare enough fine wine for this general today. We are going to have a good drink!"

"Also, find a few more beauties for this great general!"

"Yes!"

All the adopted sons nodded repeatedly.

Just at this moment, a scout came running to report.

"Report!"

"General! A large number of Northern Yuan troops have appeared over at Louzi Pass in Yan Fan. They are suspected to be the main force of the Northern Yuan army!"

Hearing the scout's words, Lan Yu and his adopted sons were stunned.

"The Northern Yuan army attacked Louziguan?"

Lan Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, and the King of Yan also led his army to fight against the Northern Yuan army!" the scout continued.

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally excited atmosphere suddenly turned into anxiety.

Everyone at the scene knew that they were the main force to destroy the Northern Yuan army. If they allowed Prince Yan to defeat the Northern Yuan army first, they would be embarrassed. They had brought so many people and consumed so much military funds and supplies, but ended up hitting the air!

Swish--

Everyone at the scene turned their eyes to Lan Yu.

"General, what should we do?"

the scout inquired.

"Foster father, we have already entered the grassland for nearly a hundred miles. If we turn around and rush to Louzi Pass, it will take at least several days. Will it be too late to rush there?"

"If we make it in time, it will be fine. If we don't, the Northern Yuan army will be destroyed by the King of Yan, and then our military achievements will be gone!"

"Father, we can't let Prince of Yan Zhu Di take away our credit!"

The adopted sons spoke one after another. They did not have much respect for Prince of Yan Zhu Di and were even dissatisfied with him. It was not the fault of these adopted sons. When Lan Yu arrived at the northern border with an army of 500,000, he took the initiative to invite the kings of the border to gather together to discuss the plan to destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

As a result, Lan Yu sent invitations to everyone and prepared a table of delicious food, but no prince came. Some of them even asked someone to pass on a message, saying that the Northern Yuan army was approaching and as princes they had the responsibility to defend their territory and could not leave at will, and asked General Lan Yu to forgive them. However, Prince of Yan Zhu Di was the most arrogant. Not only did he not come to the banquet, but he was also said to have torn up his invitation.

Lan Yu was angry about this for several days. His adoptive father lost face, and his group of adopted sons naturally hated Zhu Di as well.

Now that Zhu Di was about to take the credit for destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he was naturally extremely unhappy.

Zhu Di was just a greenhorn. He became the King of Yan only because he was Zhu Yuanzhang's son. Apart from that, Zhu Di was nothing in their eyes!
Lan Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then made a decision, "Let's not go to Louzi Pass, but continue to move towards the heartland of Beiyuan!"

“The forces under Louzi Pass may not be the main forces of the Northern Yuan army. The generals of the Northern Yuan are not fools. Louzi Pass is close to Peking. The reason why Ouyang Lun built the Great Wall was because he was worried that the cavalry on the grasslands could rush to the city of Peking without restraint. Therefore, when the Great Wall was being repaired, the most solid part was the Great Wall in Yandi. It was equivalent to erecting the strongest shield of the Ming Dynasty. It would be impossible to attack from Louzi Pass unless the commander of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was in trouble!”

"If the Northern Yuan commander was so incompetent, how could the Northern Yuan survive for so long!"

"Even if Louziguan is really the main force of the Northern Yuan army, let the Northern Yuan army teach Zhu Di a lesson first. He thought that he had made some military achievements in pacifying Yunnan and didn't take us veterans seriously. He should learn a lesson from us."

"It's fine if we give up the first credit. As long as we are the ones to wipe out the main force of the Northern Yuan army in the end, that's enough!"

It has to be said that as a general, Lan Yu had excellent insight into the battlefield.

After listening to Lan Yu’s analysis, all the adopted sons suddenly realized and shouted “Godfather is wise” again!
"Godfather! What about the banquet tonight?"

A young girl asked.

"Of course we have to do it! Let the brothers drink and eat as much as they want tonight!"

Lan Yu said with a smile.
