"But the three young princes of the Yan family?"
Hearing this, the three brothers of the Zhu family opposite were stunned for a moment, and then all turned their heads. They had met Lan Yu several times, and the most recent time was a few years ago, when the emperor's grandson was in the East Palace, the old man's
At the birthday banquet.
After being stunned, Zhu Gaochi nodded reservedly and saluted, "That's right, Commander Lan is here well!"
Zhu Gaoxu on the side suddenly pushed Zhu Gaochi aside and stood directly in front of Lan Yu, with ecstasy and excitement in his eyes.
"Lan Shuai? Are you Lan Shuai? I am my father's second son. My name is Zhu Gaoxu. Do you remember me? We have met several times. The first time was when you were stationed in Liaodong.
, when preparing for the expedition to Mobei, the second time was your triumphant return, and a few years ago at the birthday banquet of the emperor's grandfather."
Perhaps Lan Yu was polite to Zhu Di, but her attitude towards the three brothers was quite gentle.
It seems that in his heart, he still regards Zhu Gaochi and others as children. Why should other people's children be involved in adult matters? It is not a man's behavior to show shame with other people's children.
"It's Lan!" Lan Yu smiled gently, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was dressed in military uniform, "Why, His Highness is going to fight with Lan!"
"Go! Go!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded desperately. "When I heard that you were coming, I had nothing else in my mind. I just had the idea of following you to fight the Tartars! Don't worry, there is no son of King Yan in your army.
, there is only me, Zhu Gaoxu. I wear armor and carry a knife, just to fight the Tatars with you!"
He has been arrogant since he was a child, but arrogant people often have their own weaknesses. That is, when they meet someone who can truly convince them, their arrogance will turn into worship.
"Second brother, don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Gaochi scolded, "If you want to go, you need your father's permission!" Then he said angrily, "Besides, wasn't the trouble you caused enough last time? Now hundreds of thousands of troops are about to fight.
, I won’t tolerate your nonsense!” Starting website
"I'm going to kill the Tatars, what nonsense!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted in dissatisfaction, "Our father only has three sons, you can't get on the horse, and the third one is as timid as a mouse. If I don't go into battle to kill the enemy, what will others think of us three brothers?"
?”
"Who is as timid as a mouse?" Zhu Gaosui muttered in defense beside him.
"Then you are going with me?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at him sideways.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaosui was speechless and moved his mouth, "That, that, big brother won't let me go, it's not that I won't go!"
Seeing that the three brothers were almost quarreling in front of her, Lan Yu couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you shouting here? Let people laugh at it. Sit over there and talk!" After saying that, Lan Yu turned around and sat back by the fire.
Zhu Gaoxu followed him quickly and sat down next to him. Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly, then held his stomach and sat down carefully.
"Why are you, the grandson of the emperor, so desperate?" Lan Yu threw a handful of firewood into the fire and asked with a smile.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the fire, flames flickering in his pupils, "Revenge!" He said, pouting proudly to prevent his face from showing sadness, "A few days ago, I followed Uncle Qiu Fu to attack the Tatar army.
, because I underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and fell into an ambush by the Tatars!"
At this point, he lowered his head and said, "My childhood friend, Xiao Hai, the son of Uncle Qiu Fu, died in the battle to protect me. Many of our Yan Fan's sons also died in the battle to save me, and even many people died in the battle to save me."
, I didn’t even get the corpse back!”
At this moment, there were tears in his eyes, "They all watched me grow up. Some of them taught me to ride horses, and some took me hunting. But they all died because of me. I live to give
They take revenge!"
Lan Yu was a little silent after hearing this.
"How many times have you fought?" Lan Yu asked again after a while.
"I followed my father into battle when I was thirteen, but this is the first time for such a big battle!" Zhu Gaoxu wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Are you afraid?" Lan Yu asked again.
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a long time, "When I was ambushed by the Tatars, I was afraid for a moment!" He said, smiling again, "Other times, I wasn't afraid at all! Not only was I not afraid, as soon as I got on the horse, I felt like it was in my bones.
The blood is hot!"
Lan Yu stared at him, "Then do you think fighting is fun?"
Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and shook his head heavily, "I used to think it was fun, just as easy as hunting." As he said that, he bit his lip, "But this time I watched the people I knew die fighting in front of me one by one, listening to their
Scream!"
Then, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said, "Fighting is not fun! But, I still want to fight!"
"Why?" Lan Yu still looked into his eyes.
"Because I am the son of King Yan and the grandson of the Zhu family. It is my responsibility to guard the border and prevent the barbarians from going south!" Zhu Gaoxu said seriously, "And I want revenge!"
After the words fell, Lan Yu smiled.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui looked at him carefully with strange eyes.
"Shuai Lan, take me with you!" Zhu Gaoxu said almost pleadingly.
"Our military laws are strict, and those who retreat will die!"
"I, Zhu Gaoxu, will only die on the way to charge and will never retreat!"
The two looked at each other for a long time.
There was a crackle, the flames jumped and burst, Lan Yu grinned, "Good boy, I will take you!"
"Really?" Zhu Gaoxu shouted excitedly.
"Lan Mou has never told a lie in his life!" Lan Yu smiled, "But your armor is not good!" After saying that, he looked at the other person and continued, "You have too many pieces of iron in your armor and it is too heavy. We are
In a night attack, if the enemy's bow and arrow cannot be drawn, take off the chain mail armor and just wear a cotton armor!"
"Also, this armor of yours looks like it was worn by a nobleman. It's too eye-catching on the battlefield. Go get it changed!"
"Hey!" Zhu Gaoxu agreed and stood up quickly. After taking a few steps, he ran back and dragged the third child Zhu Gaosui away.
"Second brother, why are you dragging me along?" Zhu Gaosui asked dissatisfied.
"Come and help me put on my armor!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed.

Beside the fire, only Zhu Gaochi and Lan Yu were sitting.
The little fat man's little eyes rolled, and then his eyes were lowered like Maitreya Buddha's, and he remained silent.
The soldiers in the camp have finished preparing, and the cooks are carrying bowls of noodle soup and distributing it one by one.
Lan Yu ate like everyone else, a large, thick bowl filled with thick pimple soup and a sticky mess.
He put his lips to the edge of the bowl, took a sip, and cursed, "Cao, did you beat the salt seller to death?"
The cook held out his belly and grinned stupidly, "Shuai Lan, these are the only ones in the camp!"
They were trapped for several days, and because these reinforcements were marching in a hurry, they could not bring too much baggage. Besides, during the war, as long as they were not hungry, they would be lucky.
"Brothers, let's eat together. Later, I and I will go to the Tartars to grab some dried meat!"
After Lan Yu finished speaking, there was a burst of silly laughter from the soldiers around him.
"Would you like some?" Lan Yu raised the bowl to Zhu Gaochi as a gesture.
Zhu Gaochi's chubby face shook, "Thank you Lan Shuai for your kindness, no need!"
Lan Yu looked at him and shook her head, "You kid, you are not a war material!" She said with another smile, "The emperor's grandson once praised you in front of me. He said that among all his cousins
, you are one of the few talents who can act alone!"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes rolled rapidly, "Your Highness, I cannot deserve your compliments!"
"He also said that you are a sensible person!" Lan Yu said, suddenly looking at the other party with a complicated look, "When the prince was alive, he also praised you. He said that you behaved well and had a steady mind.
!”
Zhu Gaochi didn't speak. He didn't know what to say because he didn't know why Lan Yu wanted to tell him this.
"You are a sensible, well-read, and knowledgeable child." Lan Yu continued to sip the pimple soup, "So, can you advise your father?"
