Chapter 114 You are still young, stay away from Lan Yu
"Brother Yun'er? Brother Yun'er?"
Lu Yunyi, who was experiencing the bizarre world in his dream, heard bursts of calls in his ears, dragging him out of his dream little by little.
"Brother Yun'er, Brother Yun'er, get up!"
The voice sounded familiar, and Lu Yunyi felt a little impatient.
But the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes!
In a trance, he saw a fat black pig swaying back and forth in front of him.
After calming down, the blurry world gradually became clear. It turned out to be the Black Hawk.
Seeing him wake up, Liu Heiying smiled, his white teeth standing out against his dark face:
"Brother Yun'er, you finally got up. A military order has arrived."
"Military order? What military order?"
Lu Yunyi sat up suddenly and looked around in a daze.
The sun is shining brightly, and the warm and gentle sunlight shines on the earth.
But the hot sun added an unpleasant smell to this bloody battlefield.
Lu Yunyi shrugged his nose and looked at Liu Heiying: "What time is it? How long have I slept?"
"It's already noon. I've slept for about two hours."
Lu Yunyi felt dizzy and surprised. He stretched out his hand and pushed his head away:
"Bring the military order here."
Liu Heiying handed over an envelope.
After getting the military order, Lu Yunyi tore off the wax seal, took out the order, read it word by word, and his expression became more and more strange.
"Since they are engaged in a war, we will send the front army commander Lu Yunyi to bring the Northern Yuan concubine, and the commander of the central army to send 20,000 prisoners, and carry out the following method."
What is this for?
You just captured the Princess of Beiyuan yesterday, and you’re starting to use her today?
Lu Yunyi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly fumbled around in front of his chest to take out the white jade given by the Princess of Beiyuan.
Liu Heiying is a connoisseur of good things.
When he saw Bai Yu, his eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately came over and lowered his voice:
"Brother Yun'er, this is a great item! The finest white jade. Such a large piece costs over a thousand taels of silver. Where did you get it?"
"So expensive?"
Lu Yunyi was surprised and puzzled by the Yuan Dynasty royal family's actions.
If he wanted to hide a treasure map, he would definitely choose a worthless item. Something worth thousands of taels would be too obvious.
"Of course. Nowadays, the finest white jade has been sent to the south. We rarely see it here. There is more of it in Beijing."
"You're right. This thing came from Peking. It was given to me by the Princess of Beiyuan."
what?
Liu Heiying's eyes widened suddenly, and his imagination ran wild for a moment.
He looked back and forth between Bai Yu and Lu Yunyi's faces, his breathing becoming a little faster.
"What did she give you this for?
I heard that in some tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, giving jade as a token of love, she is not attracted to you, is she?
No, you want to commit yourself to save your life?"
Lu Yunyi frowned, and as Liu Heiying's words became more and more outrageous, he quickly interrupted him:
"What are you talking about?"
Lu Yunyi lowered his voice, weighed the white jade, and said in a low voice:
"The Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty said that there are treasures here that will help the Yuan Dynasty rise again. Some of them are in the Ming Dynasty, and some are in the grassland."
"what?"
Liu Heiying suddenly widened his eyes, raised his head, and then quickly dropped it, staring at the white jade in front of him, and quickly stretched out his hand to cover the white jade:
"Hurry up and take it. Why would she give you this?"
"This is the money the grassland people paid for their lives, but now the general wants to send those grassland people to the front line to fight and die." Lu Yunyi looked at the military order with a difficult expression on his face.
Liu Heiying looked serious and murmured:
"It's really unreasonable to let someone die after just taking their money.
If she gets angry and tells others about the white jade, then the money will be gone for nothing! !
Brother Yun'er, please think of a way. With this money,
What's the point of collusion between officials and businessmen? From now on, we will be the cleanest officials in the Ming Dynasty."
Lu Yunyi stood up slowly, and Liu Heiying on the side quickly reached out to support him, with an anxious look on his face:
At this time, Lu Yunyi suddenly remembered something, looked at Liu Heiying and asked:
"How do you usually coax those older women?"
Liu Heiying's body stiffened and he looked embarrassed, swaying from side to side a little awkwardly:
"Why are you asking this?"
General Lu Yunyi threw the order in his face:
"Find a better excuse to deceive the Princess of Beiyuan. You have experience with these mature women. Do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Heiying took a breath of cold air, his expression serious.
He summed up his years of mature experience in his mind and said slowly:
"Treat them like your sisters."
"Ah?" Lu Yunyi opened his mouth slightly, squeezed one eye, and looked confused.
Liu Heiying winked and scratched his head, not knowing how to express himself for a moment:
"No matter how old a woman is, she longs for dependence. In short, don't treat her as a woman, but as an unmarried woman.
And, and, I got it! Call me sister more often! "
Lu Yunyi frowned, not quite understanding what he heard.
But Liu Heiying continued to talk:
"To treat a rebellious woman, you must be tougher than her, but also gentle with her. This is called "using softness to overcome hardness", as written in military books.
A woman who seems difficult to tame will be as loyal as a horse if she can be tamed, as if it were written in a book on horse breeding.
A woman who is as gentle as water should be gentler than her, but she should be conquered by dominance. This is like water that can carry a boat, but can also capsize it.
This Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was of high status, so ordinary lies would not fool her.
You need to put aside the problem and find the attitude, and don't confront her head on.
In addition, Brother Yun'er, you must maintain this coolness.
She has been treated with too much flattery on a daily basis, and blindly catering to others is not a good thing."
A quarter of an hour later,
Lu Yunyi took a meal, opened the curtain of the king's tent, and walked straight in.
Everything that came into view made him raise his brows slightly.
On the long table in the center was the body of Usar Khan.
At this moment, it has been covered with a huge piece of silk, and only the specific outline can be seen.
The Princess of Beiyuan sat at the top, leaning on her hands and falling asleep.
There was a trace of tears in the corner of her eyes and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, indicating that she was uneasy.
When the sound of Lu Yunyi's armor clashing rang out among the army,
The Princess of Beiyuan, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly opened them, her gaze filled with majesty.
She immediately saw Lu Yunyi standing at the entrance of the king's tent. She frowned slightly, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Mingren, don't you know the etiquette?"
Lu Yunyi was a little embarrassed, but thinking of the white jade in his arms,
His expression quickly calmed down, he walked straight forward, put the food in his hand on the table, and said coldly:
"eat."
As expected, a trace of anger flashed across the eyes of the Princess of Beiyuan.
She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, frowned slightly, raised her head and stared straight at Lu Yunyi.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget what you promised me."
Lu Yunyi's expression did not change at all, and his voice became even colder:
"If you want something, you will suffer for it. These are not enough."
The Princess of Beiyuan had a calm expression, but Lu Yunyi still saw a hint of panic in her eyes.
"What else is there to do? That's the wealth that will help the Yuan Dynasty make a comeback. Isn't that enough?"
"Grand Master Ha La Zhang is defending the mountains in the northeast.
The army has been unable to capture the city for a long time and needs someone to serve as the vanguard.
If the people of the grassland want to become Ming people, they need to pay a price. "
Lu Yunyi's voice was cold, and there was no emotion in his eyes. He just looked down at her condescendingly.
The Princess of Beiyuan only felt a strong sense of oppression coming over her, a kind of condescending feeling that came from the bottom of her heart.
Princess Beiyuan didn't know why a young Ming general would be like this.
She could only put it down to Mingren's pride.
The lips of the Princess of Beiyuan trembled a little bit, and a layer of mist quickly covered her eyes, revealing a trace of pain and weakness.
The voice was no less firm than before, but it was trembling a little:
"What do you need me to do?"
"Finish your meal and follow me.
The army needs 20,000 grassland people to attack the village.
You must obey, so that you can save your life and the lives of the remaining grassland people."
Lu Yunyi's cold voice slowly echoed in the military tent, as he uttered word after word.
Princess Beiyuan's face was filled with sadness, and a strong sense of fatigue swept over her, making her unable to exert any strength. After a long time, she let out a soft sigh.
A resolute look immediately appeared on his face. He sat up straight and straightened his appearance slightly.
"Let's go."
But Lu Yunyi still stood there, motionless.
He looked at the food on the table and said coldly:
"eat."
The Princess of Beiyuan sat at the top, her figure tall and straight, her eyes trembling slightly due to the waves in her heart.
She stared at Lu Yunyi from bottom to top, her brows furrowed and the corners of her mouth tightened into a straight line.
Lu Yunyi stood there expressionlessly, staring at her.
As time went by, the anger seemed to be slowly suppressed by an invisible force and turned into complexity.
The eyes of Princess Beiyuan began to become deep and helpless, and her face gradually returned to calm.
Finally, she slowly lowered her head.
He picked up the food on the table and started eating quickly, forgetting all his previous manners.
Now she just wants to end this war quickly.
The moment he walked out of the king's tent, the coldness on Lu Yunyi's face quickly melted away, replaced by deep helplessness.
He now wanted to hand over the jade pendant in his arms to get rid of this matter.
But when he thought that it was the wealth that would help the Yuan Dynasty make a comeback, he felt a little unwilling.
"No, how can I give away something I have already obtained?"
After the Northern Expedition, he became a complete rebel.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to kneel beside Lan Yu when he was beheaded in the 26th year of Hongwu.
But the Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who knew about this was a problem after all.
As for agreeing to her conditions, it was not that difficult.
After all, the imperial court originally planned to place these grassland people on the border to build the Great Wall.
After several generations, these people will become Ming people.
I shook my head gently, trying to get rid of the dizziness in my head, but found that it was not so easy to do.
Lu Yunyi looked tired. He took off his head armor and scratched his head helplessly. He admired those generals who were still energetic.
"Brother Yun'er, are you okay?"
Perhaps because he is in good health, Liu Heiying looks much better and not as haggard as he seems.
Lu Yunyi waved his hand gently:
"Gather the soldiers to escort the prisoners to the front army, and find another carriage."
"Yes!"
An hour later, Lu Yunyi, who had assembled his troops at the fastest speed, set off with 20,000 grassland captives and the Princess of Beiyuan.
At first the grassland people were unwilling to obey orders.
But as soon as the Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty showed up, the captives became much more obedient.
They lined up in an orderly manner and staggered northward.
Another two hours passed, the sky gradually darkened, the huge sun slowly set, illuminating the clouds in the sky.
The fiery red light began to spread outwards.
More than one grassland man looked up with longing on his face.
Even the Princess of Beiyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtains and looked over.
The grassland people are very sensitive to the weather.
In the past, when this kind of scene occurred, it meant that winter was about to pass and the long-awaited spring was about to arrive.
The cold earth is about to melt, and the wet land is about to become dry.
The wild grass seeds that had been buried long ago also sprouted one by one, making the grassland full of green again.
But unfortunately, it seems that they will never be able to see the vibrant scene of the grassland again.
A gloomy atmosphere began to spread, and the originally noisy team gradually became quiet.
The grassland man lowered his head and looked quietly at the hemp rope in his hand.
They are very familiar with these hemp ropes.
In the past, when people migrated across the grasslands, some disobedient "criminals" would be tied up with this kind of hemp rope.
Now it is just that they have changed from grassland nobles to Ming people, there is no difference.
The Princess of Beiyuan, who saw all of this,
Tears welled up in her eyes again, her nose turned a little red, her lips were slightly pursed, and she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart.
She looked at Lu Yunyi, who was standing on his warhorse with his head held high, and paused for a long time at his young face.
As if he had made up his mind, he asked hesitantly:
"Will you really leave them a way out?"
Regarding this issue, Lu Yunyi continued Liu Heiying's strategy.
Don't talk about problems, just talk about attitude.
He tilted his head slightly with a cold expression:
“Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, there are still many remnants of the Yuan Dynasty on the grassland.
They are scattered in all directions, struggling to survive. If they can't survive, they will march to the border to invade.
The Ming Dynasty had enough land and food.
As long as they sincerely submit, the Ming Dynasty will not be stingy with leftovers."
Princess Bei Yuan pursed her lips, her age could not be seen through her serious makeup.
Usar Khan and Tianbaonu left one after another, and Dibaonu was imprisoned again.
The burden of the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty court fell on her, a single woman.
It made her a little overwhelmed.
Princess Beiyuan looked at Lu Yunyi with a pleading expression:
"General Arsleng, you were once in the Northern Yuan Dynasty court.
I also know that some people on the grassland don’t care who is above them.
They only care about whether they can live to see tomorrow.
Whoever feeds them is their king.
As long as the Ming Dynasty keeps its promise, the people of the grassland will not rebel."
"Princess, it was the people of the grassland who showed sincerity first, and then the Ming Dynasty gave corresponding charity. You are the losers."
Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes, his gaze gradually became colder, and his voice was like piercing ice that kept invading the body of Princess Beiyuan:
"After we take down the camp of Kharajang, I will ask the general to write to the imperial court and find a place for the remaining grassland people to live."
In order to make this statement more real, Lu Yunyi spoke again:
"My father's teacher was Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar, who belonged to the Eastern Palace and was a minister assisting the Crown Prince.
The prince is virtuous, and if the people of the grassland are sincere enough, they will certainly sympathize with his actions.”
"Liu Sanwu?" Princess Beiyuan frowned slightly, and her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Is it Tantanweng? The Tantanweng who compiled the Great Edict?"
Her voice was a little anxious, as if she was trying to verify something?
Lu Yunyi frowned slightly, feeling extremely absurd.
Liu Sanwu actually has such a big name?
Even on grasslands thousands of miles apart, everyone knows his name.
Lu Yunyi nodded gently: "Yes."
"The Khan once said that the Great Edict is a book that helps the people and enlightens their minds, and that Tantan Weng is a man of great talent in governing the world. Now there is a copy of the Great Edict in the king's tent."
Lu Yunyi was surprised. It seemed that in this world, those who reached the pinnacle of both civil and martial arts were famous throughout the world.
So was Lan Yu, and so was Liu Sanwu.
After learning about the relationship between Lu Yunyi and Liu Sanwu,
Princess Bei Yuan felt much more at ease.
At least judging from Arsleng's performance, just like when he was in the royal court,
He is a person who is being cultivated as a priority and will become a big figure in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Pursing her lips, the Princess of Beiyuan waved at him, and Lu Yunyi sideways his horse to approach.
He soon heard the voice of the Princess of Beiyuan, which was suppressed to the extreme:
"You are different from those Ming generals.
I can see that you are kind.
Even if it doesn't work out, I won't tell anyone about the jade pendant.
I just hope that one day, when you have power, you will treat the grassland people better."
Lu Yunyi was stunned, his eyes suddenly became deep.
Princess Beiyuan looked a little solemn, and continued in a low voice:
"Stay away from Lan Yu. The royal court will be destroyed in this battle, and there will be no more major troubles on the grassland.
The Ming Dynasty will recuperate and sort out its internal affairs.
Lan Yu has made great contributions as the commander in chief of this battle. He will be given a higher title in the future, and I am afraid he will suffer misfortune. "
"Is the princess trying to sow discord?" Lu Yunyi turned his head to look, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
"This is what the Khan told me himself."
Princess Beiyuan showed a sad expression, her eyes gradually became sharper, and her voice became like a ghost:
"The Emperor of Ming is old. He is a powerful ruler and will take all threats with him when he leaves.
"all!"
"You are still young, stay away from Lan Yu."
