Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 100: Arrogant Lan Yu, unaware of his imminent death
"The secret report says that Hu Weiyong currently shows no signs of having any contact with the Northern Yuan people," Yao Guangxiao replied.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and glanced at Yao Guangxiao with his cold eyes.

"Could it be that the person assigned by the Royal Guards was too low-ranking and failed to investigate thoroughly?"

"This..." Yao Guangxiao was terrified when he heard it.

"This is the business of the Royal Guards. I really don't know."

Yao Guangxiao was a little speechless. He was not in charge of the Jinyiwei, so why were you asking me about the Jinyiwei? Moreover, he already knew about the Jinyiwei organization. It was too dark, and he didn't want to get involved with it.

However, I don’t know what Yao Guangxiao would think when he knew that the Jinyiwei organization was established by Zhu Yuanzhang at the suggestion of Chu Nan.

"Okay, you can go down." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard Yao Guangxiao say this.

He also felt that he should not ask Yao Guangxiao this question, but he did not ask the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mao Xiang, because he felt that with the ability of his Jinyiwei, the people they arranged around Hu Weiyong must have a high status.

So let's just wait for the intelligence now. If Hu Weiyong really takes any action, he will be punished.

However, what Zhu Yuanzhang did not realize was that without any evidence, he chose to believe Chu Nan, and then suspected Hu Weiyong, who had followed him for many years.

If other people knew this, I wonder how shocked they would be.

Nearly ten days passed.

Outside Datong Prefecture, the Ming army marched north to fight against the Northern Yuan army in the grassland camp.

After marching for more than twenty days, Zhu Yuanzhang's 100,000-strong army finally arrived here.

Chu Nan was still sitting on the grain cart at this moment. When he saw that they had finally reached their destination, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

These twenty days or so were really killing him. The grain cart was so bumpy that it almost killed him.

Then there’s the food. They ate big biscuits every day without even any vegetables. Their stomachs felt uncomfortable. Wars in ancient times were not a life for human beings.

But fortunately, we came to this prairie. Although there were not many vegetables to eat, we could eat mutton and even beef.

Although he was a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, in ancient times oxen were important commodities and it was strictly forbidden to slaughter them privately. Therefore, in all the time he had been in the Ming Dynasty, he had actually only eaten beef a few times.

But it’s different on the grassland. There are lots of cattle, sheep and horses, and this time we can eat big chunks of meat.

But the soldiers on the side were speechless when they saw Chu Nan like this. "Brother, are you still tired like this?" You are taking a car, but we are really walking.

How about you, old man, come down and try walking for twenty days or so?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also got off the imperial carriage and came to the front of the army.

Then we saw that outside the grassland camp, the Ming army was already on alert, and Lan Yu also brought the generals to welcome Zhu Yuanzhang.

Several princes of the Ming Dynasty were also there, led by Zhu Biao. They were standing in armor. Their skin had become much rougher, but their bodies looked much stronger.

"Your Majesty, how did I alarm you?" When Lan Yu saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately came forward to greet him.

However, there was no sadness of defeat on his face, instead he was smiling.

"Actually, you don't have to come. Although my army suffered a defeat, we repelled several sneak attacks from the Northern Yuan army later, and now we have stabilized our position."

"Although more than 8,000 of my troops were killed and more than 10,000 were injured, we still have 75,000 soldiers who can fight."

"After I rest for a while, I will fight back immediately. We will definitely be able to defeat the Northern Yuan army."

Then he looked at the generals Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Tang He and others behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and waved his hand even more.

"It also alarmed the dukes. There is really no need to do that. I, Lan Yu, can handle those Beiyuan people by myself."

"Huh?" But Chu Nan, who was listening in the back, was shocked when he heard this.

I've been defeated, so I've been defeated. Why are you so happy?
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang asked you to attack in order to completely destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty. You fought a defensive battle and are you still complacent? You, Lan Yu, are really good. As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned unfriendly and he spoke directly.

"Lan Yu, I still have to come. If I don't come, you won't have enough food, no medicine, and your weapons and armor won't be replenished in time if they are damaged. Do you think I can not come?"

Although there was no blame in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, his tone was a bit heavy, and it was obvious that he was angry.

Xu Da and others behind him all frowned. This kid Lan Yu still can't speak.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this." But when Lan Yu heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he smiled.

"The famous general I admire most is Huo Qubing. His method of defeating the Xiongnu was to eat whatever he could get."

"So even though my soldiers are short of supplies now, once I have rested, I will rush out and smash the Northern Yuan Dynasty to pieces, and then we will have supplies."

"By then I will surely be able to seal the Wolf's Lair!"

Then he just waved his hands casually.

"So, Your Majesty, please keep these supplies. I will not use them."

"What?" Chu Nan was shocked when he heard it. Brother Lan Yu, what are you doing? Didn't you see that Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was heavy and he was dissatisfied with you, and you still talked like this?

Although I believe you have the ability to defeat the Northern Yuan people, after all, you are the most powerful general in the Ming Dynasty, but can't you be more humble?

Chu Nan was speechless. Lan Yu would never have a good ending no matter which emperor he fell into.

"Lan Yu, why are you talking so much!" Lan Yu was arrogant. Xu Da was not stupid. He could see that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and yelled at Lan Yu.

"Why don't you go down quickly and distribute the supplies? How dare you refuse His Majesty's kindness? You are so bold!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Da was highly respected in the army and was better at fighting than Lan Yu. Lan Yu did not dare to disobey and went down immediately to distribute the supplies.

However, after walking a few steps, he discovered that Chu Nan had actually come. A look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face, which soon turned into murderous intent.

But there was no attack and he left soon.

Zhu Yuanzhang also sent away generals such as Xu Da, Tang He, and Li Wenzhong on the pretext of inspecting the morale of Lan Yu's army and whether the military camp layout was reasonable.

After they left, Zhu Biao brought Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"My son has met my father!"

"Well!" When he saw his four sons up close, Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous and cold eyes suddenly flashed with the loving eyes of an old father. Then he patted his four sons on the shoulders and showed a gratified smile.

"You guys have become stronger! It looks like you've been through a lot!"

"That's nothing." Zhu Biao shook his head when he heard it.

"This is much easier than the hardships you endured when you were in the army."

"Yes." Zhu Di also spoke.

"You had a much harder time than we did in your life. Your father even went to jail. If your mother hadn't secretly brought you pancakes, you would have starved to death long ago. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"This..." Chu Nan in the back was stunned after hearing this. Zhu Di, you are really something. You are bringing up something that is not relevant to the topic.
"What!" As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang exploded when he heard this.

"You kid, I'm here to care about you, and you just bring up what happened to me back then? And you laughed for so long and so loudly?"

He was really furious. If this Zhu Di was not his son, he must be another Lan Yu!

"Fuck you, I'm going to beat you to death!"
