Chapter 111 The True Face of the Big Shot

Kill them all? Surrender?

Yu Tongyuan was startled and looked around.

Ming soldiers were all around collecting broken limbs and arms. Groups of prisoners were tied to one side, their heads lowered, their faces showing fear.

The air was filled with a bleak and pungent smell after the war.

He, Lu Yunyi, looked at the Princess of Beiyuan, who was wearing luxurious clothes behind him, and his expression was extremely ugly.

At this time, a soldier came up and whispered in his ear:

"General, the Princess of Beiyuan said earlier that she would surrender to our dynasty."

"Does the General know?"

Yu Tongyuan frowned. He thought that what Lu Yunyi said was just an excuse, using the royal tent and the princess as a shield, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Some soldiers have gone to report the news."

Yu Tongyuan's heart skipped a beat, and a cloud overtook his vision. He glanced at the soldiers present, and the urge to curse was abruptly stopped.

"Why are you telling me this now, when it's so important?"

Yu Tongyuan stared at the soldier, the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
He wished he could swing his sword and chop all these rubbish to death.

"I thought the general knew about this."

The soldier's hair stood on end and he quickly lowered his head, his voice becoming a little low.

Yu Tongyuan was in an irritable mood, so he slapped him and waved his hand vigorously:

"Alright, alright, get out of the way."

Lu Yunyi took all of this in, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted:
"General Yu, the royal court has surrendered, Usar Khan is dead,

Even if you want to make a contribution, don't even think about hitting the Princess of Beiyuan.
Could it be that Commander Yu thinks we are all blind?

You killed the Princess of Beiyuan here, and that counts as your military achievement?

"You are dreaming. I am waiting here on the orders of the general. As long as I, Lu Yunyi, am still alive, Commander Yu will never be able to pull off those evil tricks."

Lu Yunyi was extremely tired, his voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, and his mouth was burning.

Then he tilted his head and whispered, "Please bring me the teapot. I'm so thirsty."

After these words came out, the beautiful eyes of the Beiyuan Princess, who originally had a tragic look on her face, slightly widened, with an expression of disbelief.

But in the end, he quickly returned.

Soon, she took out the teapot.

After Lu Yunyi took it, he felt a little apprehensive and asked suspiciously, "You didn't poison it, did you?"

The Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty frowned slightly, looking incredulous.
While looking at Yu Tongyuan, Lu Yunyi took out a silver needle from his arms and stirred it in the water.

"General Yu, the general once said that we must win the Northern Yuan Dynasty with honor and dignity, and not use mean actions.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty now lost with honor and was convinced.

The war is over, but Commander Yu is still leading his army to attack the king's tent. What is his intention?

Could it be that they wanted to exterminate all the surrendered Northern Yuan?
Such behavior is against the customs of our country!"

After saying that, Lu Yunyi pulled out the silver needle, glanced at it, and gulped down the drink.

The water flows into my mouth and stomach, and the long-lost sense of strength and comfort surges up.

Lu Yunyi drank the water and let out a long sigh.
He threw the kettle casually, tightly gripped the long sword in his hand, and stared at the soldiers in front of him with burning eyes.

Especially the silent Yu Tongyuan, with a burning desire to fight in his eyes.

At this moment, Lu Yunyi, who was alone, was facing Yu Tongyuan, who was surrounded by more than a hundred people, silently. The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
But it also made the surrounding soldiers feel a sense of tragedy and solemnity.

Yu Tongyuan looked gloomy and glanced around casually.
I just felt like I was in a dilemma and the anger in my heart was about to be suppressed.
He gritted his teeth and decided to go all the way.

"I will only hold you, Lu Yunyi, accountable for lying about military intelligence. This has nothing to do with the Princess of Beiyuan."

After saying that, Yu Tongyuan waved his hand fiercely, and under everyone's incredible gaze, he gave a cold order:
"Take her down, don't hurt Princess Beiyuan."

The military order was issued, and the soldiers who had been stagnant began to charge forward again. The soldiers holding bows and crossbows did not move.

Lu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no bows and crossbows, he could still cope with it with the help of the king's tent.

His eyes turned cold and he stepped forward quickly, intending to take the initiative and intimidate them.

But at this moment, the sound of war horses trampling was heard, followed by a loud shout!
"stop."

Lu Yunyi felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but it was too late to check. The long sword had already been swung out, and it was impossible to retract it at this moment.

Phew!

The long sword dodged the blocking long sword like a dragon and slashed heavily on the chest of the soldier.
In an instant, blood gushed out and wisps of white mist emerged from the wound.

After the long sword fell, Lu Yunyi retreated quickly and returned to the entrance of the tent in an instant.

It was only then that Lu Yunyi looked over and saw the place.

Looking at the black-armored cavalry rushing over and surrounding the entire royal tent, his eyes lit up with joy.

Especially the leader.

Seeing him, Lu Yunyi let out a long sigh, the fatigue in his heart suddenly surged up, and his tense muscles also relaxed at this moment.

The man was of stout build and had a dark complexion.
His armor was stained with blood, and he looked murderous.

The most eye-catching thing is the two long swords hanging on both sides of his warhorse!

The king of double swords, Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan!
Wang Bigao was riding on a war horse, his eyes were focused and there was a murderous intent on his body. One could also feel the fierceness of the battle from him.

His eyes lingered on the bloodstains on the ground, and then looked at Lu Yunyi who was standing side by side with the Princess of Beiyuan.
Finally, he looked at Yu Tongyuan, the deputy commander who was surrounded by more than a hundred people, and his face darkened:
"Yu Tongyuan, what are you doing?"

Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi's voice was cold.
As he spoke, the deputy general Lü Baochuan beside him had a gleam in his eyes and waved his hand. Suddenly, more than 200 soldiers rushed out from behind him.

The sounds of horse hooves and armor clashing were endless, and in an instant, Yu Tongyuan's troops were tightly surrounded.

The atmosphere in the king's tent, which had originally been quiet, became tense again.

Yu Tongyuan was angry and unwilling. He took a deep breath and bowed slightly.
"Lord Dingyuan, Lu Yunyi lied about military intelligence, causing more than 3,000 casualties in our army. I will execute him on the spot."

Wang Bi frowned slightly and snorted coldly:
"Yu Tongyuan, 20,000 soldiers will be divided into four groups.
You have encountered the royal guards, so just defeat them. Do you want to change your opponent?
You are also a veteran warrior, how can you say such childish words? "

Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi's dark face turned around, and seeing the mess around the king's tent, he sneered again and said bluntly:
"Yu Tongyuan, you want to achieve great things and win honors.
Wouldn't it be just right to fight with the royal guards?
What, you changed your mind again?

Or do you just want to copy others? Get something for nothing?

Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, was conferred the title of Marquis in the 12th year of Hongwu, but he joined the army in the 16th year of Zhizheng.
He first served as a guard of the current emperor and was subordinate to Deng Yu.

From the 16th year of Zhizheng to the 21st year of Hongwu, he never stopped fighting and was one of the few veterans in the army.
Although he was conferred the title later, he was a subordinate of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Deng Yu's faction and Chang Yuchun's faction have joined forces to launch the Northern Expedition, and they are now the largest force in the Ming army.

Treating juniors like Yu Tongyuan with courtesy is usually to give face to the Chaohu Navy.

If they are rude, they can't say anything.

At this moment, Yu Tongyuan's face turned blue and red, and anger flashed in his eyes.
The disadvantages of not being a knight are fully revealed at this moment.

No matter how polite you are in normal days, when it comes to a real confrontation, you will always be inferior to the other person.

The more this happened, the angrier he became, and the more resentful he became towards Lu Yunyi for ruining his plans.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Tongyuan suppressed his thoughts and defended himself:

"Please calm down, Marquis Dingyuan. It's not that I don't dare to fight.

It was his soldiers who lied to the military, saying that the Northern Yuan Dynasty's tent was on the west side of the central army, but in reality it was on the east side."

Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi had a playful look on his face, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his voice was cold:
"Yu Tongyuan, do you mean that this king's tent can only be breached by you? It cannot be breached by the general leading the army?"

After saying this, Wang Bi sneered, looked at Lu Baochuan beside him, and said frivolously: "So you want to steal the credit."

Yu Tongyuan's face darkened, his cheeks twitched slightly, and he tried to calm himself down.
Because of anger, he was now speaking incoherently, which led to some bad words being said.

Dingyuan Hou did not look at him again, but looked at Lu Yunyi.
The coldness on her cheeks melted like a glacier, and she smiled.
"Tell me why you want to kill these soldiers. Killing a fellow soldier without permission in the army is punishable by beheading."

Lu Yunyi pursed his lips and looked respectful:
"Reporting to Lord Dingyuan, the general ordered me to guard the king's tent here.
When Commander Yu arrived, he slandered me without giving me any explanation and even tried to break into the king's tent.

I suspected that he was going to harm the Princess of Beiyuan, and after trying to dissuade him many times to no avail, I finally wielded my sword to guard him."

Lu Yunyi turned sideways, revealing the graceful and elegant Princess Beiyuan.

"The princess can testify to this."

Princess Beiyuan nodded slightly, her face calm, and looked at Marquis Dingyuan:
"General Arsleng was ordered to guard the king's tent. It was this Ming general who wanted my life."

These words were so concise and to the point that Yu Tongyuan's face looked extremely ugly.

Wang Bi nodded, and then looked at the front scouts standing ready to attack, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes:
"What are you soldiers doing? You just ignored the general's orders. If there are traitors who want to destroy the country's plan, why don't you stop them?"

Lu Yunyi took a step forward, looked respectful, and bowed slightly:
"My Lord Dingyuan, I ordered the soldiers not to move forward."

"Huh, why?"

"My Great Ming just won a great victory. This place is where the Northern Yuan Dynasty's tent is located. There are many captives on one side.

If the grassland people saw our Ming soldiers killing each other,

If this gets out, people will think that the Ming Dynasty is the barbarian people!"

"Hahaha, good, good! You know the big picture, kid."

Marquis Dingyuan laughed out loud, his eyes full of satisfaction, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.

Marquis Dingyuan laughed, but Yu Tongyuan looked gloomy. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Some soldiers were even worried. The marquis in the army was known for protecting his subordinates.

They knew the abilities of Lord Lu in front of them, and the scouts of the vanguard army had become the most important soldiers of the 30,000 vanguard troops.

And now their chief officer is here again.
This caused some bad thoughts to arise in their minds.

As expected, Wang Bi laughed for a while, then his face gradually turned colder.

He swept his eyes over the hundred people, his expression became violent, and he shouted:
"Get it!!!!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Bi's vanguard army rushed over from all directions without any hesitation.
Facing the aggressive cavalry, Yu Tongyuan's troops

I was confused, not knowing whether to resist or not.
They turned their eyes to Yu Tongyuan who was standing there, and seeing that he hadn't said anything, they understood what Shangguan meant.

He quickly dropped his weapons and was surrounded by the aggressive cavalry.

Seeing this scene, the scouts of the front army who were wandering around breathed a sigh of relief, and a crisis was eliminated without a trace.

Lu Yunyi looked at the scene in front of him with a solemn expression and heavy thoughts.

He took a deep breath, turned sideways to look at Princess Beiyuan, and whispered:
"Thank you for your help, Princess."

Princess Beiyuan nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice:
"You can't die now."

After saying this, Princess Beiyuan turned around and returned to the royal tent.

Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, jumped off his horse.

He walked quickly to Lu Yunyi and looked him up and down with a hint of concern in his eyes:
"Boy, you're not hurt, are you?"

Lu Yunyi looked at himself and smiled:
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Dingyuan. These injuries were sustained in previous battles. They are not serious."

Wang Bi looked at it carefully again, then nodded.

He reached out and patted his shoulder, then looked at the many corpses on the ground with a look of satisfaction on his face:

"You did a good job this time. Young people should not be so dull all day long, but be more domineering!
When I was the king of the mountain, I dared to rob the Yuan army and kill anyone.

As a human being, we live to satisfy our conscience, so we should live happily! "

Wang Bi's voice was not concealed. He turned his head and looked at the more than one hundred soldiers who were suppressed. He was full of murderous aura and waved his hand:
"The following are rioters and disobey military orders, all of them will be beheaded."

When more than a hundred soldiers heard this, their faces turned pale and despair surged in their hearts.

He looked at Yu Tongyuan, the deputy governor, who was standing on the side, with a pleading look on his face.

Yu Tongyuan clenched his teeth and looked unwilling, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Lu Yunyi was shocked by Yu Tongyuan's cruelty. Why didn't he beg for mercy?
Lu Yunyi quickly looked at Wang Bi:
"Lord Dingyuan, this... this is probably inappropriate. They are the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. It would be a pity to kill them like this."

Wang Bi disagreed, waved his hand, his eyes fixed, and looked fierce:
"The only thing standing in our way is the enemy. No matter who he is, we must not show mercy."

Wang Bi raised his hand and patted Lu Yunyi on the shoulder: "You take a rest first."

After saying this, Wang Bi walked straight towards Yu Tongyuan.

Lu Yunyi stood there in a daze, his eyes slightly widened.
His eyes kept wandering between Wang Bi and Yu Tongyuan, and he fell into deep thought.

He was surprised to find that what he had been thinking was wrong all along.

In this era, there is no difference between the grassland people and the Ming people.
They are all brutal people who survived the turbulent times.

Especially these dukes,
Although he was a Ming Dynasty man, his essence was still that of a Yuan Dynasty man in troubled times.
At that time, human life was worthless, and no one knew whether they could live to see the next day.
I have long since become indifferent to my own life and death, let alone others.

Dead people are nothing new to them.

Even in their hearts, they have not really distinguished between the Ming people and the grassland people. There are only two distinctions: enemies and friends.

However, young people like Liu Heiying who were born after the founding of the Ming Dynasty were much more normal.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just been established. Although there were some chaos, there was no need to worry all day long.

Lu Yunyi wanted to find the difference and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Wang Bi is already so cruel, so wouldn’t the current emperor, who leads these cruel people, be even more cruel?

He thought of the case of Hu Weiyong, who was executed along with 30,000 of his cronies.

Lu Yunyi had felt it was a pity more than once. Even if 30,000 people were used to build the Great Wall, they could only take on a section of the work.

Now think about it, maybe the emperor in the capital doesn't care at all.

Maybe, like Wang Bi, he regarded those people as enemies rather than wise people.

even
Lu Yunyi raised his head and looked at Yu Tongyuan who had a gloomy expression.

Even when his men were executed, he did nothing.

Perhaps in his view, this was just a small failure involving only a hundred people, not worth mentioning.

This was a big shock to Lu Yunyi, who always loved his soldiers.

The Yuan Dynasty ended, the Ming Dynasty was established, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed.

But the century-long chaos did not end, and its influence still lingered in the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
This will take time to dilute, and only when the generation that experienced the turbulent times has died out, will the moral level of the Ming Dynasty improve little by little.

Lu Yunyi turned his gaze away and looked at the king's tent which still looked magnificent.
Only now did he truly understand that Tianbao Nu, Dibao Nu, and even the Northern Yuan nobles,
They don't care about those 'sinners',
He had felt more than once that those people had died in vain, which was a pity. Why didn't they unite and face the crisis at hand?

In such a cruel situation, it is only natural that the princess and Yarong are regarded as gods by those "sinners".

Lu Yunyi personally experienced it and felt it necessary to explore the matter or make some conclusions.

Induction, summary and recording are the best ways to make progress.

It will help him adapt to the rules here better and avoid misjudging the situation in the future.

Even Lu Yunyi had already thought of a title.

It is called "The Collapse of the Yuan Dynasty: Changes in Human Nature under the Tide of History".
