Chapter 132: Going to Daning, Enemy on Three Sides

Chapter 132: Going to Daning, Enemy on Three Sides
Cool?
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed silently, and then burst into laughter.

After a long time, Lan Yu's laughter gradually subsided and he looked at Lu Yunyi:
"After the war, you feel more relaxed than before."

Lu Yunyi scratched his head and chuckled:
"What reward it is will be decided by the general and the court."

Lan Yu nodded, stood up, took out a huge map and slowly unfolded it.

Lu Yunyi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed one side, spreading the map flat on the table.

After pressing down the two corners with the inkstone, Lan Yu pointed to Buir Lake where Bei Yuan was and said:
"After the Battle of Buirhai, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, and the grassland people had actually lost control of the Northeast.

But in the northeast, there are many Liao Wang, Huining Wang and Marshal Duoyan, etc.
They are entrenched in the north of Liaodong and northeast of Daning, hiding in the mountains and forests, and are always a hidden danger. "

Lu Yunyi stared at the map with a frown on his face. Although it was a little different from the map in his mind,
But we can still see the prototype of the Three Wuriankhai Guards, which is the Three Doyan Guards.

After a pause, Lu Yunyi said loudly:

"Reporting to the general, Nahachu, who was stationed in Liaodong, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty has collapsed, and the Ming Dynasty has deployed troops from Qingzhou to Buyuerhai.
The King of Liao, King of Huining and others no longer had anyone to rely on and were trapped in the northeast.
If they know how to be humble, they will surrender as soon as possible, and the imperial court will give them a chance to live.
If they don’t surrender, whether we send troops from Daning or Liaodong, we can strangle them bit by bit.”

After the words fell, Lan Yu showed admiration and nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, you can see the situation clearly." Lan Yu took a military report from the table and handed it over:

"The Liao king Azashili is closest to Daningdusi and also closest to Buyuerhai.
He had already heard the news of the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and had specially sent someone to deliver a memorial, expressing his intention to surrender.

Lu Yunyi's eyes widened, he took the document, opened it, and sure enough
"General, this is too fast."

Lan Yu laughed and said, "It is only the intention to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. As for whether to surrender or not, it depends on whether the Ming Dynasty sends troops.

It is possible that this document was already ready when the army occupied Qingzhou, and was only waiting to be sent out after the war was over."

Lu Yunyi was speechless. If that were the case,

The Liao King must have a letter in his hand congratulating the Northern Yuan Dynasty on its great victory.

He was even wandering around Buyuer Lake, making sure to get the letter to the royal court as soon as possible.

Lan Yu placed his hand over the northeast area and said:

"If they all surrender, how should the Ming Dynasty deal with them?"

Lu Yunyi pursed his lips and said, "We can divide the garrisons according to the water sources and incorporate them into the military system of the Ming Dynasty."

"What if they go back on their word?" Lan Yu asked again.

Lu Yunyi pretended to think, stretched out his hand and pointed at the map of Liaodong:

"The Liaodong Military Commission can station troops to guard the area, but the Liaodong Military Commission is adjacent to Korea and controls the trade routes.
Any rash deployment of troops may have an impact on the trade between the two countries and may also arouse North Korea's fear.

In addition, most of the Liaodong military governors were former subordinates of Nahachu and were originally from the Yuan Dynasty. Although they surrendered, they were unreliable.

My subordinates think that we can station troops, but not too many, otherwise it will backfire on us.

The best place to station troops was in Daning, which was adjacent to Beijing and close to the Grand Canal.
It is extremely convenient for both the deployment of military supplies and the transportation of food and fodder.

If the three northeastern guards do not obey the imperial edict, we can march from Daning to the northeast and put down the rebellion easily.
Moreover, if we station troops in Daning, we can also deter the Liaodong Military Commissioner at the same time!"

As the words fell, the light in Lan Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she patted Lu Yunyi's shoulder vigorously:

"You are good, very good. It is rare that you can see the situation clearly. This is also what I think in my heart."

Lan Yu pinched her waist, paced back and forth, and said:

“So I want you to go to the Daning Military Region and lead the troops to keep a close eye on these traitors, and also to deter the Liaodong Military Region.

I have thought of others, but they are too old and decadent, and there is no telling if they will get mixed up.
So I will think you are very good, besides."

Lan Yu's face was gloomy, and after a long pause he sighed:
"The land survey and fish scale atlas were first carried out in the two provinces.

Yingtian Prefecture is under the control of His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and a group of court officials in the capital, and the progress is quite smooth.
But progress was slow in Beiping, which was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, so there were many Yuan officials and court officials.
Although they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and served as officials, their lands were spread all over Peking, leaving the imperial court helpless.
There were even a lot of troubles and the people were living in misery.

The Prince of Yan and the Prince of Ning are currently restructuring the Daning Regional Military Commission and are preparing to have it guard Peking, so they have no time to spare for other matters.

Some of the Daning Military Region's garrison troops had been stationed there for a long time, most of them were originally from the Yuan Dynasty.

Who they take orders from is still unknown.
So, I want you to lead your troops there, keep a close eye on Peking, and find out who is causing the rebellion! "

Lu Yunyi's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his head to look at the map.
Now that we are in Daningdusi, we will face the danger of being attacked from three sides.

To the east is Liaodong Dusi, where Nahachu's former troops were stationed.
To the north are the future Doyan Sanwei, and to the west is Beiping, where there are old forces that surveyed land.

In an instant, a huge pressure came.

Lu Yunyi asked himself, if he were marching to war, he would definitely not be afraid,
If we go to Daning, there will be more secret confrontations.

But no matter what, since Lan Yu has already told him about this matter, he must have made up his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi bowed slightly and said in a deep voice:

"I am willing to share the worries of the court."

Lan Yu's eyes flashed with joy and he nodded:
"Okay, very good! After we get back to Gyeongju and settle down,
If there is no news of the surrender of the King of Liao, the King of Huining and Marshal Duoyan,

You should lead your troops to meet your future friends in advance.

If they surrender, that would be the best. If not, we will beat them until they surrender.

With such a deterrent, you will be able to do a lot more in Daningdusi in the future."

Lu Yunyi's face turned cold, and he exuded murderous intent:
"Yes!"

"If we really want to fight, I will mobilize another 3,000 soldiers to give you 5,000. With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat them."

As Lan Yu spoke, he rolled up the map on the table.
At the same time, he took a clean document and started writing at his desk.

Soon, Lan Yu handed over the document and said with a smile:

"I will ask for the imperial court's reward for you, and of course the military reward as well."

Lu Yunyi took the document, looked at it carefully, and his eyes lit up.

[Qingzhou Guard centurion Lu Yunyi served as the commander of the front army and made many contributions, killing 10,000 enemies and capturing more than 10,000. He was specially promoted to the lieutenant general of the front army and commanded 5,000 soldiers.]
The Lieutenant General is allowed to command 5,000 soldiers. If a war breaks out, this number is enough to serve as the main force and can be temporarily expanded to 20,000.

"Thank you, General. I will do my best to serve you until my death."

"There is no need to say polite words. Doing good deeds is better than any nice words.

This is the military merit book, which records the generals and soldiers who have killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds.
Take it and have a look, and select five thousand elite soldiers. They will be your team from now on."

Lan Yu handed over a thick blue leather book, which was as thick as half of Lu Yunyi's palm.

The book feels heavy in my hand, not just because of the weight of the book, but more importantly, it reflects the feelings contained in it.

"General, this is a bit inappropriate. The list of military merits is a military secret."

"Just watch it if I tell you to. Doing a good job in Northeast China is more important than anything else."

Having said this, Lu Yunyi no longer refused:

"Thank you, General. I have one more favor to ask of you."

"explain."

"When I came here, I saw that there were scribes teaching soldiers to read and write in the front camp. I wonder if my soldiers can come to the central camp to learn a thing or two."

As he spoke, Lu Yunyi showed a hint of embarrassment on his face:
"Most of my soldiers are arrogant, and the clerks in the army are very familiar with them.
Even when I teach them, it makes a lot of noise and there is no deterrence.

So I want to arrange them to the central army and let the clerks under the general's command deal with them."

Lan Yu waved his hand:

"Make your own arrangements."

"Yes! Thank you, General. I will take my leave now."

"Wait a minute."

Lan Yu stood up and went into the back tent. After a while he came out holding a jar of wine and handed it to Lu Yunyi.

"Drinking alcohol in the army is a taboo, but the war is over now, so it's okay to drink a little.
But don't be too reckless. You are so brave to walk around the army reeking of alcohol."

Lu Yunyi was stunned, and immediately realized something. He and his two brothers had just drunk almost a whole jar of wine.

"Please forgive me, General. I was having a good chat with my soldiers, so I opened a few jars of wine to taste."

Lan Yu's face was calm, and he pointed at the wine jar:

"Take this twenty-year-old wine from the king's court. It's almost dawn now and the soldiers are all up. If anyone asks you, just say you drank it with me."

"Yes, thank you, General!"

"Okay, let's go." Lan Yu waved his hand, sat back at the desk, and continued to check the military newspaper documents.

"General, please take care of yourself."

Lu Yunyi said something, but without any response, he left the tent holding the jar of wine.

When Shi Zhengyu saw him coming out, he frowned.
Then she widened her eyes, stared straight at the jar of wine in his arms, and couldn't help pursing her lips.

He walked closer and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Lu, what did the general say about Queen Quan?"

Lu Yunyi had a strange expression and shook his head: "I asked, but the general didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Shi Zhengyu straightened up and stopped thinking about it. He pointed to the wine jar again:
"This wine? Was it given by the general?"

"nature."

Shi Zhengyu pursed his lips, rubbed his hands, and laughed. Cracks appeared on his dry skin:

"Brother Lu, I heard this is the royal court's fine wine. There are only two jars. Why did the general give you this wine?"

"Of course I drink it." Seeing him like this, Lu Yunyi smiled calmly:
"Brother Shi, do you want to try it?"

"This, this, this is not good, it is a reward from the general."

Lu Yunyi behaved very generously, without any reluctance in his eyes.

"Hey~ I have known Brother Shi for a long time. Thank you for taking care of me. Our friendship cannot be compared with wine. Come on, take the water bag."

"Okay, okay, Brother Lu is an open-minded person."

Shi Zhengyu glanced around and took out the water bag on his back. A faint smell of sake filled the air.
Shi Zhengyu smiled awkwardly and explained:

"I'm old and I don't have enough energy. I need to drink some wine to be energetic. But don't worry, I always dilute it with water to taste it."

After saying that, Shi Zhengyu gulped down all the wine in the water bag and handed the water bag over with a smile.

Lu Yunyi smiled, and naturally he would not be stingy.
As soon as the seal of the wine jar was opened, a scent of wine immediately filled the air.
When Shi Zhengyu smelled the fragrance, his body trembled and a thin layer of red appeared on his face.

Watching the clear wine pouring out, Shi Zhengyu said:
"Brother Lu, I'll be honest with you. I'm a wine lover.
But the bad thing is that I am still the deputy commander of the general's personal guard, on duty day and night.

I have no place to vent my alcohol addiction, and now that the battle is finally over, I can finally have some fun."

"Hahaha, I'll come to have a drink with Big Brother Shi from now on. By the way, there's something I want Big Brother Shi to help me with."

Shi Zhengyu's face became serious, and his eyes suddenly became clear again:

"Brother Lu, you can't do anything that is against the law for personal gain."

"Do we still need to bend the law for personal gain?"

"Too."

"I want some of my soldiers to come to the central army and learn to read and write with the clerk.

I also told the general about this matter, and he told me to make my own arrangements.

But I don’t know many people in Brother Shi’s army. Look at this.”

Shi Zhengyu's face froze: "That's it? I thought it was a small matter.

Just let them come, I will arrange their food and accommodation.

I will find the best clerks to teach them. Sometimes the military censors will also teach the soldiers to read. I can also arrange that!"

"Thank you, Brother Shi." Lu Yunyi skimmed the wine in the jar. Half of it was gone, and the water bag was about to be full, so he stopped:

"You and I each take half!"

"Thank you so much, Brother Lu." Shi Zhengyu's face was flushed.

"Then Brother Shi, you drink first. I'm leaving. Don't forget to arrange for my subordinates."

"Good good!"

The morning light appeared, and the darkness of the night was quickly swallowed up by the light.

The deadly silent camp gradually regained its vitality, and the soldiers who had been sleeping for a long time slowly woke up.

The entire northern expedition army began to move little by little, like a dragon turning over.

Lu Yunyi followed the main force and returned to the front scout unit at the rear of the army in less than half an hour.

The soldiers in the camp were extremely busy. Some were tidying up the camp.

They pulled out all the rivets stuck in the ground, laid the tent down, rolled it up and put it into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

On one side of the camp, countless large pots were bubbling with steam, and the aroma began to fill the air.

After the camp was fully organized and the army had finished their meal, today's journey had just begun.

The soldiers saw the news of Lu Yunyi's return.

Liu Heiying also rushed out of the camp and stepped forward:
"Brother Yun'er, what happened? My eyes are pounding."

There was a piece of white paper as big as half a little finger nail stuck on Liu Heiying's left eyelid.

Lu Yunyi pulled him aside, looked at the busy soldiers in front of him, and said quickly:
“Plans may change.”

"Huh? What happened?"

"After returning to Gyeongju, we may have to lead troops to the northeast to persuade some people to surrender.

We don’t have as much time as we thought. We can’t wait any longer and we need to act now.”

Lu Yunyi's face was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Choose one hundred soldiers from your trusted confidants and send them to the central army. Find Shi Zhengyu, and he will make the arrangements.

Among these 100 people, in addition to Chen Jingyi, you must also pick out a few people who are proficient in scouts and secret agents to mix in with them, and keep a close eye on Jiang Li. "

As he spoke, Lu Yunyi reached into his arms and took out a portrait:
"It's him. Tell Chen Jingyi to find out his living habits, hobbies, movements, and possible opportunities to attack."

Liu Heiying opened the portrait, and a face without any characteristics emerged.
His eyes narrowed, revealing his murderous intent.

"Jiang Li? Is that the person we want to kill?"

Lu Yunyi nodded:
"Tell the brothers to be extremely careful. They can only use the method I taught them to monitor and track. Any other method cannot be used. If used, they will be exposed."

Liu Heiying suddenly realized something, his eyes widened a little, he moved closer and lowered his voice:

"Brother Yun'er, is he a Jinyiwei?"

Lu Yunyi nodded: "Tell the brothers to be extremely careful. If you are discovered, you know what to do."

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn. After a long while, Liu Heiying nodded with a complicated expression:
"Don't worry, Brother Yun'er, I will make arrangements."

"Brother Yun'er, were the people who did it the grassland people?"

"Well, those grassland people should also be transferred earlier and replaced today.
Take them to see Yarong in the evening, and then take them to Ortai.
There are plenty of supplies there, I will write a letter and ask Qingfei and Jianing to train them."

Lu Yunyi's eyes were solemn, his mind was full of thoughts, he thought for a while and said:

"The general's order is not entirely a bad thing for us. At least it can clear us of suspicion and provide us with an excuse for not being there."

Liu Heiying was also very smart. He rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows:
"Brother Yun'er, do you want to start the battle when we reach Qingzhou and the army stops? By that time, we may have already led the troops away."

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Lu Yunyi's eyes, and he nodded:

"Yes, this is the best opportunity to take action. There are less than two months left.
We need to understand Jiang Li's habits, and we need to complete the training of the grassland people. Time is short, so we need to act quickly."

"Okay!" Liu Heiying was about to turn around and leave, but was pulled back by Lu Yunyi;
"Remember, everything must be kept secret. Don't let anything slip through your fingers! Otherwise, we will all be in big trouble."

Liu Heiying smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Brother Yun'er, I know what to do."

"Go."

Lu Yunyi waved his hand and looked at Liu Heiying's departing back, frowning and looking thoughtful.

After a long while, he let out a heavy sigh.
