The army once again left the city, and the ten-mile long street was filled with high-spirited people watching the might of the Ming Dynasty's army.
The grandson of the emperor went on a personal expedition on behalf of the old emperor to destroy the small country of Dongyi, which was a grand event that had never been seen in history. Zhu Yunxi had the name of going out on behalf of the old emperor, and he was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. He could control and command the troops of the world. Moreover, Liaodong has always been
It was the largest military formation in the Ming Dynasty, so the number of officers and soldiers selected from the Beijing camp was only 30,000.
But these thirty thousand people were the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.
Four thousand heavy cavalry, all wrapped in iron armor, charged into the formation and were led by the Prince Consort Li Jian. Three battalions of gunmen and six battalions of artillery were led by another Prince Consort Mei Yinzu. The other infantry were all national soldiers.
The DPRK made several expeditions to Mobei, and the elite bayonets of Beiyuan Grassland were well established.
The army left the city, and soldiers cleared the way along the way. On both sides of the road, there were prayer incense tables set up by the people. On the chests of the soldiers on the expedition, each one hung a flower picked from the countryside.
Ming Dynasty is victorious!
Under the military power of invincible battles and decades of invincible achievements, there are the loud shouts and heartfelt blessings of the people along the way.
On the wall of Hongwu Gate, the old man looked at the advancing army with thunderous footsteps, and at the heroic figure riding on a war horse under the yellow umbrella in the team. There was some pride in his eyes, but also some worry.
He had been fighting all his life and had never been afraid. But when he came to see his grandson, he felt very uneasy.
The child has grown up and is disobedient! The old man rubbed the corners of his eyes, isn’t it good to study hard and learn knowledge? He must go out to fight!
Next to him, Pu Bucheng, who was the only one who could stay with the old man, smiled slightly and said, Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don’t know...
Release it quickly! The old man said impatiently.
The year when I first served you, you happened to catch up with the traitor Chen Youliang who led an army to invade. Pu Bucheng smiled and said, that year, you also defied everyone's opinion and personally led the troops to the expedition. That day, you took exactly this road. People are like dragons.
, the horse is as powerful as a tiger, soaring to the sky.
I remember that you said at that time that if you can win in one battle, you will have a ten thousand-year inheritance! After a pause, Tiao Bucheng continued to laugh and said, now the emperor's grandson is going on the expedition, taking the same path, and he is also leading the good son of our Ming Dynasty.
It is because of your ambition that you want to show off our great power in one battle.
I have never read a book, but I also know that throughout the ages, there have not been many wars against foreign countries in order to destroy their countries. The emperor's grandson's visit this time will definitely make the achievements of the Ming Dynasty etched in the annals of history and make future generations ashamed. Your Majesty and Your Highness, both
In other dynasties, only half of the saint kings who have not been born in five hundred years are just burning incense, but in our Ming Dynasty, two are born every time they appear!
With a ten-thousand-year foundation and a sage king who has never been born in five hundred years, our Ming Dynasty will definitely last for tens of thousands of years!
You piece of shit, you can finally speak some human words!
Although Pu Bucheng deliberately flattered him, there was no logic, and his rhetoric was not very beautiful. However, the old man's words sounded better to the old man's ears than what others said.
This boy! The old man pointed at the yellow umbrella in the distance under the city. He is like us! He has the guts! He is not bad!
Under the yellow umbrella, Zhu Yunxi, who was wearing a golden helmet, turned back on his horse. In his sight, the majestic Ming Dynasty city wall was like a giant dragon lying between heaven and earth.
Grandpa Huang, waiting for his grandson to return to the court victoriously!
I muttered something silently in my heart, looked up at the fierce sun, and put a smile on my lips. The vast world, let's see the heroes of the Ming Dynasty!
After he finished reciting, he pulled the reins and said loudly, "My sons, follow me to the north!"
The three armies shouted in unison, "Go north! Go north!"
~~~~
The army headed north and then crossed the Huaihe River.
It is midsummer, and the rice fields beside the Huaihe River are lush and green, and the waves of wheat are blown by the wind, echoing the surging river water.
Beside the Huaihe River, beside a bifurcated river, several farmers are busy in the fields. Although the fields are growing, they need to keep an eye on them to see if there are weeds and pests.
These farmers are all tall and strong, but the farm work they do seems a bit unskilled. It seems that they are not digging in the soil for many years.
It was a hot summer day, and sweat was pouring down like rain. Among the farmers, an old man with half a century of hair came out of the field and sat down on the ground in Tarsus. He unbuttoned his body, revealing his strong chest, and held it with the straw hat in his hand.
fanning his bronzed face.
Damn it, how have I ever suffered like this in my life?
Next to him, an old woman poured herbal tea for him and said with a smile, "You still have to suffer from farming? You have never been afraid of anything in your life, but you are afraid of working when you are old?" As she said that, she pursed her lips and smiled, "But, concubine"
It seems that you as a farmer are much more practical than you as a general!
This old man is none other than Lan Yu, who was demoted to a commoner and worked as a farmer in his hometown. The old man next to him is his wife, and those working in the field are Lan Yu's sons and daughters-in-law.
Although there was some gold and silver given to each other by old friends in the army, the local officials were watching and the Lan family had to follow orders to farm.
I feel wronged by you, living like this! The so-called heroic tenderness, privately Lan Yu, always looks kind and cheerful when facing his wife.
What's wrong with this? Madam smiled and sat down against Lan Yu. These days are very good. In the past, I was a high-ranking official, but I always felt uneasy. Now our family, although we are not as wealthy as before, we are better.
Zai Anwen said, look at Lan Yu, Master, you are getting old too. You have been fighting all your life and you are always homeless. Now that you are old, you can be with your family and you have a house full of children and grandchildren. What else can you not be willing to do?
Of course I'm not willing to accept it. A lifetime of ambition and a lifetime of achievements are being wiped out. It's strange to be willing to accept it.
But these days, Lan Yu herself has also thought deeply about it. Her arms can't twist her thighs, so she doesn't dare to lower her head. Besides, in the past, she was too obsessed with the word utilitarian. That's why she attracted people's jealousy and envy.
Suspicion.
Wisdom is gained through every adversity. People can always see their past shortcomings and reflect on them when they fall.
You're right, it's a good life like this. You don't have to worry about it anyway! Lan Yu looked at the grandchildren running around in the fields and said with a smile.
Really? Madam turned around and asked with a smile, if the court revolts against you, will you go to fight again...?
Bah, I’ve had enough to eat, and I’m still meddling in that business! Damn it, I’ve sold my life all my life, and I’m going to end up like this, I don’t have a long memory! Don’t talk about recovery, even if you let me lead the army again, I won’t be jealous of him, I love anyone and so
? Lan Yu cursed.
Haha! The lady laughed.
This smile seemed to indicate some disbelief.
Lan Yu continued, Madam, don't believe me, I have half a lie, just...
Suddenly, Lan Yu, who was sitting lazily, stood up like a leopard. His originally soft eyes became full of power in an instant, and he stared straight ahead.
Sir! Madam is puzzled.
Shh! Lan Yu silenced his wife and pricked up her ears.
There seemed to be familiar rhythms in my ears. Smoke gradually filled my eyes.
Cavalry! A large group of cavalry is coming! Lan Yu looked solemn, holding the hoe beside him like a sword. Madam, hide with the children! Then he shouted to the field, boss, second child
, come and join forces with me!
Cavalry? Mrs. Lan is not an ordinary woman. She grabbed her husband's arm. Is the master from the imperial court? As she said that, her eyes were full of determination and misery. Why don't you let us go? Master, if you really want to eradicate the roots, no one in our family will be able to escape.
Lose!
At this time, horses' hooves were like thunder, smoke and dust were rising, and hundreds of cavalry rushed from the front in the blink of an eye, arriving in front of Lan Yu.
Are you here to arrest me? Lan Yu stood in front of everyone in the Lan family and asked sternly.
The war horse stopped. In the smoke and dust, a general on the horse pulled back the mask on his face and laughed, "Brother, it's me!"
Brother Wang?
Lan Yu was immediately overjoyed. The person who came was none other than Wang Bi, who had conquered the outside world with him several times.
Why are you here? Lan Yu said loudly, look around the other party, damn, there is no flag, and there is no honor guard. You are wearing ordinary armor, but you still look like a marquis. Those who don't know, think you are a general! Say!
Then he suddenly understood and asked loudly, Ming Dynasty is going to use troops again? Do you want to go on an expedition? Where? But do you want to go out of the fortress?
Brother! Wang Bi smiled, who do you think is coming?
who?
Lan Yu looked in the direction of the opponent's finger and saw a man riding a war horse in the middle, surrounded by cavalry, coming slowly.
General Lan, would you like to hold the reins and lead the horse for me?
Your Highness! Under the sun, the young man coming on horseback is not Zhu Yunxi, who else could he be.
Lan Yu exclaimed, her eyes turned red immediately, and she knelt on the ground, Third Master! You......? He really didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi could come to see him. He was really surprised and surprised.
happiness.
Zhu Yunxi laughed on the horse and was slightly possessed. That day, you once said that if you go out alone to fight, you should lead the horse alone. Do you still remember?
Lan Yu was stunned. Going to war? The emperor's grandson is going to go to war?
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Fu Rang, the commander of the personal soldiers, said loudly from the side, "Uncle Lan, Your Highness is going to conquer Goryeo on behalf of the emperor!"
Although Lan is old, he is willing to lead the horse for His Highness! Suddenly, Lan Yu shouted wildly and asked for nothing else, willing to be a pawn and rush into the enemy formation for His Highness!
Aren't the front soldiers overqualified and overqualified? According to the imperial edict, Lan Yu was appointed as the counselor of the army and served beside the emperor's grandson! After Zhu Yunxi read the oral edict, he waved his riding whip and said, "Come on, let General Lan wear armor!"
Here!
The two guards dismounted from their horses, holding swords and armor respectively, and strode over.
These were found in your house during a house search that day. Now, they can be regarded as the pearls returned to the emperor! Zhu Yunxi said with a slight smile.
Lan Yu was already crazy, touching the familiar armor, holding back the sadness in her heart.
Boss, help me wear my armor!
yes!
Lan Yu stood upright, while his eldest son, Lan Chun, helped his father button up the armor and tighten the leather rope. In the blink of an eye, the farmer just now turned into a battle-hardened general.
Some people are born to die in battle!
The general is incompetent, but he is willing to follow his father and die for His Highness! Lan Chun said loudly.
Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly and agreed, then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head. This is not the place to talk. Follow Gu and go to the army to talk!
Here!
Lan Yu and her son agreed and took the war horses sent by others.
When mounting the horse, Lan Yu suddenly paused and looked back at his wife, who was silently wiping tears at the side.
master!
Mrs. Lan Fu'an, together with the female relatives of Lan Mansion, said loudly, "I wish my husband (husband) success and return to the court victorious!"
gone!
Lan Yu shouted loudly, pulled the reins, and galloped wildly. Your Highness, wait for me!
