Chapter 78 Delivering a letter, killing brother and forcing father

Chapter 78 Delivering a letter, killing brother and forcing father
Seeing Lu Yunyi remain silent, Liu Heiying became anxious and spoke again hurriedly:
"Brother Yun'er, now that there are no outsiders around, I want to talk to you.
Tianbaonu was the crown prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Even though the Northern Yuan Dynasty was regarded as barbarians from the grassland, its status was still noble.

If we kill him, we may be guilty of disrespecting the emperor.

By then, we will have no way to defend ourselves."

Hearing this, Lu Yunyi, who was checking the horseshoes one by one, suddenly looked strange.

He looked at Liu Heiying with a hint of doubt, then smiled softly:
"Don't worry, the land security guard didn't agree, I was just saying it.
Even if Tianbaonu kneels before me and begs me to chop off his head,
I wouldn’t do that, I know the limits.”

Only at this point did Liu Heiying breathe a sigh of relief and feel relieved.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Use the barbarians to control the barbarians. Use the soldiers of the grassland to kill the grassland people and teach the Tianbao slaves a lesson."

Lu Yunyi smiled lightly and continued:

"Recently, Dibao Nu was training his troops, and Tianbao Nu was blocking them everywhere and making trouble everywhere.
Dibaonu wanted to teach him a lesson and let some of his men die."

Liu Heiying was shocked and had a new understanding of the rudeness of the grassland people.
"Brother Yun'er, they killed their own people...or the two princes.

They are really capable of doing this, and they are not afraid of the punishment from Usar Khan."

After checking the horse's hooves, Lu Yunyi took out a horse brush from his bag.
He came to the warhorse and patted its big head gently. The warhorse put its nose close to him.
Lu Yunyi smiled and started brushing.

"When the horses are marching, dust is raised and their breathing is rapid, so they usually inhale some dust and block their nostrils.

If it is not cleaned in time, the horse's endurance will decrease and it will not be able to breathe freely."

Lu Yunyi just kept talking to himself, and Liu Heiying looked weird:

"Brother Yun'er, I know this truth."

Lu Yunyi glanced at him and said: "The grassland people also know this, but I have found that their soldiers are lazy these days.
I do these things carelessly, without any care or attention.

When the warhorse cannot run fast enough, he starts to blame the horse.
Today I will tell you a truth. Nothing can be sloppy in battle.

As long as you finish those tedious tasks carefully,

Some abnormalities that would have appeared will naturally disappear.
Don’t not do something because it’s tedious, and don’t just muddle through.”

Lu Yunyi turned around and looked towards the north.
Sixty miles away is the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court.

Even though he was far away, he could still vaguely smell the stench of decay emanating from there.

"The same is true of the Northern Yuan Dynasty court. It has reached a point where it is difficult to reverse the situation.

The two princes fought back and forth, trying to seize power from each other.
But Usar Khan hoped that the Northern Yuan army would be strong.
If some people could die, Tianbao Nu and a group of ministers would realize the difference between the soldiers and support Usar Khan's military training.

Even though Tianbaonu and a group of ministers were training their own troops, Usar Khan was happy to see it happen.

Therefore, Dibaonu noticed Usarhan's intentions and has been acting more and more aggressively recently.
Even when I just told him about killing Tianbao Nu, he was tempted.
But for some reason, I finally retreated.

But this is a good thing, it saves us from having to do it in a difficult way.”

Liu Heiying looked strange, and he led the warhorse over, brushing the horse's nose carefully while asking:
"Usar Khan will not deal with them?"

Lu Yunyi shook his head and swept the dust from the horse brush onto the ground.

He patted the horse's head, fed it some water, and said:

"No, as long as Tianbaonu is alive, Usar Khan will not punish anyone, after all, it was the Ming army who did it."

"The Ming army did it?" Liu Heiying muttered to himself, and a treacherous look suddenly appeared on his face:
"Maybe, it was really done by the Ming army."

The two smiled at each other, their faces full of cunning.

Lu Yunyi put away the water bag, horse brush, and hoof cleaning wedge, and patted the horse's back:
"We have to hurry and return immediately after delivering the letter.
Then we will lead the soldiers to kill Tianbaonu's people.
You don’t have to hold back this time, you can go all out.”

Liu Heiying licked his lips gently:

"Brother Yun'er, I don't care about that. After all, the one who died was not one of ours."

As he spoke, he turned around to look at the soldiers who were gathering and said loudly:

"You better be careful and don't die. Just let those grassland people die."

The soldiers burst into laughter, and the murderous intent that had been accumulating in their hearts for many days began to slowly spread.

Lu Yunyi climbed onto his horse and looked southwards. Although Qingzhou was not visible there,

But he knew that Qingzhou was there, and he smiled with a hint of relief on his face:

"Okay, let's get going quickly."

Everyone mounted their horses, and more than fifty cavalrymen set off as swiftly as arrows from a bow, with the sound of hooves like thunder.
Although there are only a few people, the momentum is completely different from before, filled with the determination of fighting!
The cavalrymen slightly adjusted their postures on horseback, and their slightly upright eyes gradually regained their sharpness.

The posture of holding the long sword changed silently,
His entire aura changed, completely different from when he was in the royal court!
If they were not still wearing leather armor, they would be the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty returning from a long journey!
More than fifty riders galloped across the snowy grassland without hiding their figures.
Along the way, Lu Yunyi used the scout locations he learned from Ortai.
And his own inferences, avoiding the limited royal court scouts,
It only took one hour to successfully reach the leeward tent where they had stayed before.

The snow here began to melt, revealing a chaotic ground with dark red spots, and scattered white bones were exposed.
The flesh and blood on it had been eaten by the jackal, leaving only a few bite marks.

He looked around, a trace of worry between his brows.
Finally, his eyes fixed on the high slope, a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted towards it:

"Come down, I'm Lu Yunyi."

The soldiers looked at each other, wondering how the lord had found the hiding place of his colleagues.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the sky was gloomy.
But you can vaguely see a few small black dots appearing on the high slope, and then approaching quickly.

The black armor gradually came into the soldiers' eyes, stirring up their complicated emotions.
For some reason, even the soldiers who had never flinched in the face of blades on the battlefield had a somewhat evasive look in their eyes.
Looking at the familiar armor, long sword, and tall warhorse,
They suddenly felt that the wind and sand on this grassland were particularly strong.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. The soldiers straightened up, raised their heads, and looked expectant, wishing they could go faster.

Finally, shouts came from afar and slowly rushed into their ears.

"My lord...my lord"

The soldiers all smiled at the same time.
When they were in the royal court, all they could hear was His Highness;

Now that their original name has been restored, they feel complicated.

The people who came were familiar faces, they were Wang Shen and Guo Quan, and behind them were more than 20 soldiers, all of whom were familiar faces.

They dismounted and walked forward quickly.

"grown ups!!"

Even a son of a powerful family like Guo Quan felt mixed emotions and misty eyes for a moment when he saw his comrades were safe and sound.

Liu Heiying laughed and stepped forward to pat Guo Quan on the shoulder:

"It's you, kid. You don't want to do the life-threatening work, but you're hiding here and taking a break!"

Guo Quan looked a little embarrassed and scratched his head gently:

"Master Liu, you know my abilities. I am not good enough to be seen on the stage. I can only hide in this safe place."

He raised his head and looked at everyone, taking in their expressions, with concern on his face:

"How are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it. We have delicious food and drinks in Yuanting, and we have girls."

Liu Heiying suddenly felt a sharp cold light sweeping over him, and he suddenly stopped talking and continued:

"There are also women serving me!!"

After these words were spoken, the soldiers behind Liu Heiying looked strange, while the soldiers behind Guo Quan looked envious.
At this time, Lu Yunyi also took out the letter from his clothes.

After glaring at Liu Heying, he suddenly dared not speak and remained silent.

Lu Yunyi's face was solemn, and he handed over the letter in his hand:

"This letter must be delivered to the general at all costs.
Here is the location of the royal court and the positions of the secret sentries along the way.

As well as the approximate number of soldiers, horses, and food, as well as the combat effectiveness of the soldiers' swords and armor,
As well as the character and leadership habits of each general,

It is no exaggeration to say that the importance of this thing is
More important than the heads of all of us present here combined,
Guo Quan, you come from a rich family, you have read the Art of War, and you know the importance of this thing.

I will give you the letter, and you must send it back no matter what the cost." After Lu Yunyi said this, even the ordinary soldiers behind them knew the importance of this item, and their faces were solemn.

Seeing them like this, Lu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief.
He had seen so much laziness among the grassland soldiers these days that he began to feel somewhat uneasy about the Ming soldiers.

Guo Quan took the letter solemnly, stuffed it carefully into the interlayer, and said solemnly:
"Please rest assured, my Lord. Guo Quan will definitely deliver the letter to the Central Army Headquarters."

Lu Yunyi nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the soldiers present, finally stopping at Guo Quan, and said:
"It's a long journey. Don't trust anyone before you reach the central military camp.
We can throw a hidden card at Yuan Ting, but who knows, Yuan Ting may do the same, so we must be careful with everything!"

Guo Quan nodded vigorously: "Please rest assured, my lord, I only recognize the two marquises!!"

Lu Yunyi nodded deeply, raised his eyes, looked at those familiar faces, and said loudly:

"Go carefully as you go,

When the army marched northward and attacked the camp,
That will be the day we meet again.”

The soldiers stared with their eyes wide open, their eyes red.

This time, it is extremely dangerous and I don’t know if we can still get together.

"Okay, stop nagging, get on your horses and set off quickly, we are going back too." Lu Yunyi waved his hand, and then suddenly remembered something.
He ordered:
"Tear off some of your armor, and take ten long swords and five saddles. I will take them back and report."

Although Guo Quan looked puzzled, he still acted quickly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the things were piled in the middle of them. Lu Yunyi nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay, leave quickly, we are leaving too."

Soon, a group of soldiers mounted their horses, and Lu Yunyi, Liu Heiying and others stood in place.
Arms raised high, waving.
I watched their figures getting farther and farther away, disappearing little by little.

A faint sadness began to spread among the soldiers.

A trace of confusion arose in the originally determined heart, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Seeing this, Lu Yunyi smiled:

"We missed the Spring Festival of the Ming Dynasty, but it won't hurt to celebrate the Spring Festival of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Take your things and ride back!

Oh, by the way, before that,
We, the people of the Naiman tribe, have to help Dibao Nu kill some of Tianbao Nu’s people. When will this cycle of revenge end? "

Lu Yunyi's voice was long and teasing.

It dispelled the slight sadness in the soldiers' hearts, and turned them into a smile.

Lu Yunyi sat on the warhorse, squeezed the horse's belly, gently shook the reins in his hands, and rushed out first.

His eyes were sharp, his sight jumped over the peak,

Crossing the Buir Lake, it seemed that we could see the deeply hidden tent of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

Time passed little by little, and the hundred or so soldiers led by Di Baonu stopped where they were.

After searching everywhere nearby, the rest of the soldiers had already dispersed.

He was sitting on a big rock at the moment, with an old counselor beside him.
The two men had empty eyes as they looked at the soldiers searching around, with emotion on their faces.

Dedebono's voice was hollow and distant:
"Arisleng is truly extraordinary. Not only is he outstanding in the art of using troops, but his search skills are also quite methodical.

If we follow his method of breaking the whole into smaller pieces, I believe the four hundred-man teams of the Wala tribe will be found quickly."

The old man beside him smiled and said slowly:
The old man smiled slightly and said slowly:

"The Naiman tribe has a long history, and it is not surprising that the tribe has military books passed down by their ancestors.

Although the royal court was the orthodox one on the grassland, due to the hasty escape of Uhatu Khan to the north,

Some ancient books cannot be taken away, so our royal court has to explore the art of military formations first, what a pity."

The servant snorted coldly, lowered his eyes, and stared at the crystal clear jade ring on his hand, with a sneer on his lips:
"When they fled north, the court officials were only concerned with looting gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
How can I take care of those ancient books? They are just a burden.

Look at this search method. I don't believe our ancestors didn't have a better way, but we don't know it.

It is really shameful that we can only rely on the methods of the Naiman tribe."

The old man smiled and said:

The old man smiled and said comfortingly:

“Your Highness, there is no need to be impatient. Now that this method has been discovered, it is the wealth of our Northern Yuan.

After returning, they will record it in the classics, so that if future generations encounter problems, they can find solutions in the books. "

The landkeeper showed a look of relief on his face and nodded slightly:

“It’s a coincidence.”

He suddenly showed sarcasm and snorted:
“If Tianbaonu knew about this, he would probably scoff at it.

He is narrow-minded. He is able to sit firmly on the throne of Taiji just because he is two years older than me.

How am I inferior to Tianbaonu?"

The old man looked strange:

"Your Highness, didn't you say that the Khan is very dissatisfied with the recent actions of the Taiji, but is very fond of Your Highness?"

Dibaonu's expression became complicated and bitter, and he shook his head gently:
"False. The Khan adopted Chinese law,

The intention is to make the people of our Yuan Court abide by the rules, know etiquette, and gradually become stronger.

How could they easily depose the eldest and enthroned the youngest? This would lead to chaos, whether in the grasslands or in the Central Plains."

So no matter how cowardly Tian Baonu was, he was still Taiji and would not change."

However, as he spoke, Dibaonu smiled:
"But Khan and I are like-minded people.
All the methods are the same, so I feel it is a pity that if there is no Tianbao slave.
My father and I may be able to make the Northern Yuan Dynasty strong again."

The old man frowned, and after a long time, his brows relaxed a little bit. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said softly:

"Your Highness, why didn't you agree to what Arsleng said this morning?
At worst, let him accomplish this, and let him become a discarded pawn to protect himself. I think the Khan would be happy to see this happen."

The ground slave sneered and shook his head gently: "No,

The reason why the rebellion was not suppressed in time was because of the internal struggle between Ukhatu Khan and the Crown Prince Ayushiridara.

The old emperor of Ming Dynasty took advantage of the situation and seized the Yuan Dynasty."

Doubt flashed in the old man's eyes:
"What does this have to do with your Highness? You and the Khan have lofty aspirations and are on the same path."

"That's why we need Tianbao Nu. He can't die.
Khan was well-versed in history books, and particularly liked the Book of Tang.
That Khan was so powerful that day, how did he ascend to the throne?
Kill brother and force father.

If I kill Tianbaonu with the help of Arsleng,
By then, all the officials under Tianbao Nu will surrender to me. Where will the Khan be placed?
Since I have already killed my brother, what is the point of forcing my father?"

Even if the Khan and I don't want to fight, we will have to.

Loyal subordinates like you will be eager to push me to the position of Khan."

The land security slave looked at the old man with a half-smile, then looked at the soldiers who were searching diligently around him, with emotion on his face.

The old man looked horrified and stared at Di Baonu in disbelief.
For a moment, it was hard to tell who was the counselor and who was the benefactor.

After a long time, the old man slowly recovered and asked thoughtfully:

"But if we continue like this, we won't have a chance."

Dibaonu smiled softly, looked at the sun hanging high above his head, lost in thought, his voice hollow:

"There is a chance. Khan asked me to wait.
Wait for the old emperor of the Ming Dynasty to die, wait for him to die"

The old man looked horrified and dared not speak for a moment.

Dibaonu smiled softly: "You are much less courageous than Arisleng, you two are very good at literature and martial arts, which complement each other."

"Your Highness, please give me a compliment."

Dibaonu sighed, stood up silently, his eyes deep:
"The Khan wants me to train the troops and take control of the elite soldiers.
Then I will train the troops, with the help of Arisleng and Borshu,
When the Khan dies, I can... kill my brother."
