"I only thought that our Prime Minister Zhang couldn't write poems and lyrics, but I didn't expect that he was actually a master of this art!" Lan Yu said in a low voice, surprised.
Li Wenzhong said with a smile: "That's because you are not smart. Zhang Xiang can write and write music and lyrics in the early years. I think he must be a good hand at writing poems. He can't be difficult for him. This man can do anything, and he can do everything.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work!”
Lan Yu hummed: "You understand again? Then why don't you see that Zhang Xiang has written before?"
Li Wenzhong thought for a while and said: "Perhaps Prime Minister Zhang is unwilling to express his feelings through poetry! Over the years, in the army, he has always advocated plain language, not allowed to use colorful rhetoric, and talk without meaning. Most of them are spoken in colloquial and vernacular... You didn't see it,
Over the years, our official documents have changed a lot, which are very different from our past habits."
Lan Yu thought for a while, "Maybe, but Zhang Xiang's poem is so well written, especially the last sentence, "Changing the world..." is simply amazing! This time we regain the capital and drink Yanshan, which is exactly what we have done.
This sentence couldn’t be more appropriate given the changes in the world.”
Lan Yu simply stopped, pulled Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng, and sat down under a willow tree by the roadside, and then said: "You two think about it, this is such a big event, it is to regain the homeland, and to reward the officials.
, and also formulated several national policies. The newspapers were crazy about writing about it, but there was just one poem that could hold the crowd back. To sum it up, do you think it’s a pity or not?”
Zhu Wenzheng said with a sullen face: "Then what can be done? Although His Majesty can write poems, he is not a bit literary. Zhang Xiang can write it, but Zhang Xiang is unwilling, so what can be done?"
Lan Yu held her head and thought again and again, then suddenly said: "Do you think Prime Minister Zhang is afraid that others will know that he has extraordinary literary talent?"
Li Wenzhong hesitated for a long time, "No, what would happen even if I knew it? How dare you be jealous?"
"That's hard to say. I know others, but our Majesty is not very generous!" Lan Yu said in a dull voice.
Zhu Wenzheng immediately glared at him, "What did you say? This is leaking state secrets!"
"Leaking... state secrets!"
Lan Yu was stunned for a long time before she realized what was happening. Suddenly she couldn't help but laugh wildly, "You guy, you look so honest and honest, why do you have such a bad mouth, just like Zhang Xiang!"
"This is like every teacher must have a disciple!" Li Wenzhong took over the words, "Hearing what Lan Yu said, I want to know more and more what Prime Minister Zhang wrote!"
The three boys looked at each other and pondered over it. Lan Yu said: "You guys think, if we can make a great contribution, can we ask Prime Minister Zhang to write something for us? Then we can sneak into his study and find a way to write that song
Take out the words?"
Zhu Wenzheng said with a sullen face: "You have spent a lot of time on this! I think you made a meal of dumplings just for a dish of vinegar, it's not worth it!"
Li Wenzhong thought for a while and then said: "Don't say that. If the time is right, it's not a bad idea."
Lan Yu really smiled and said: "You are also Hu Tu. I have thought about it and we have repeatedly said that we should establish military camps to guard against attacks by the Yuan army. Then why not take the initiative to attack? Go out, sweep the holes in the courtyard, and kill the Yuan army first.
The nest was destroyed."
"Take the initiative?" Zhu Wenzheng thought for a while, became interested, and asked: "Lanyu, where are you going to start?"
"From where? Of course it's to Kaiping City!" Lan Yu said matter-of-factly.
Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong were both startled.
Because according to Xu Da's previous intention, he hoped to capture Liaoyang first, so that he could be connected with Guan Duo of Goryeo, completely cut off the connection between Goryeo and Yuan Ting, and cut off Yuan Yuan's arm.
Chang Yuchun and others hoped to march into Guanzhong, Shanxi Province as soon as possible and wipe out the largest armed force of the Yuan Dynasty.
The two factions are still arguing. Whether it is Zhang Ximeng or Zhu Yuanzhang, it seems that they prefer to stabilize most of the capital first, and then continue to use troops when they are well prepared.
Be fully prepared and execute the most powerful attack.
Outside the two factions, Lan Yu put forward his own ideas.
He wanted to take Xanadu directly and attack the Iron Pot Emperor directly.
When the idea was raised, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong quickly became interested.
First of all, Kaiping City, the capital city, is located to the north of the Luan River and belongs to the eastern part of the Mongolian grassland. To the east is Liaodong and to the south is Yanshan Mountain. In the hands of the Yuan army, they can mobilize Liaodong soldiers and horses to harass the Yanshan line and threaten the safety of most cities.
But if it gets into the hands of the Ming army, it will isolate the Yuan army in Liaodong and add another layer of insurance to the majority.
By the way, it is not far away from Tongliao, which will be famous in later generations and is the heart of the empire.
Lan Yu wants to go to Xanadu, but naturally she doesn't want to hear a weird little story every week.
He was going to the Iron Pot Emperor.
When we attacked Dadu, this guy got wet too quickly and had no time to capture him. So we can't let him go this time, we must capture him!
Is there anything wrong with exchanging a poem by Zhang Xiang for the great achievement of capturing the emperor of an enemy country?
Zhang Xiang still has the nerve to refuse?
Zhu Wenzheng didn't quite understand Lan Yu's brain circuit, but he felt that this was unreliable.
"The area around Kaiping City is vast and flat. It is 1,200 miles away from Dadu. We can send a large army to rush over. But since there is no obstruction on the road, it is easy to alert the Yuan army. It is easy to break the city. If you want to capture the Yuan Emperor, you only need to
Don't be afraid! I think you should stop dreaming."
Lan Yu sneered and said: "Zhu Wenzheng, this is where I dissatisfy you. In war, it is natural to win with just the right combination and unexpected victory. But outside of fighting, you have to calculate more to win and less to lose! That iron pot won't give up on you.
, just wanted to kill him and return to Dadu. But he miscalculated one thing. With so many people under his command, are there any of them who can’t stand the hardship of Xanadu and want to join the Ming Dynasty? "
Zhu Wenzheng was shocked. These words really surprised him and opened up a new world.
"That's right! There are remnants of the Yuan court in Dadu, and the Yuan army should also be interested in the Ming Dynasty. Although we must be wary of them, we must also be able to use the connections here." Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but
Patting Lan Yu on the shoulder, "Okay, you have a very smart mind!"
Lan Yu said disdainfully: "What do you think I spent so much time thinking about? Let me tell you, I have thought about it all. Now I am hanging among some people, pretending that I can't stand the Ming Dynasty's liquidation, and fled to Xanadu.
, follow the old master and avoid danger. When I arrive in Xanadu, I will act as an internal response for you and provide you with news about the Yuan army. How many days are you sure you can reach Xanadu?"
Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong calculated that when Sima Yi defeated Mengda, he traveled 800 miles in eight days, which was extremely fast. Most of the distance from Shangdu was 1,200 miles, and it took more than ten days to travel.
In this way, there is no guarantee that problems will not arise.
It is really difficult to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.
What should we do?
After another round of brainstorming, Li Wenzhong thought of a way.
"We will not go through Juyong Pass, but through Zijin Pass, with the intention of attacking Datong. In this way, we will bypass the front and attack with cavalry. Each person is equipped with three horses. If we attack Xanadu, we may be surprised!"
Zhu Wenzheng said: "This method seems feasible, but we don't have enough cavalry, and we can't send more than 10,000 people. Even if we can defeat the Yuan army and capture Xanadu, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture the Yuan Emperor."
Lan Yu smiled and said: "Then simply make the situation a little bigger."
"How big is it?" Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng asked together.
"It's very simple. Just send a group of troops to western Liaoning and pretend to capture Liaoyang. Just tell Xanadu the news and let them believe that we are marching west and east. Then the two groups of troops will suddenly encircle Xanadu and capture Xanadu in one fell swoop.
, just don’t do it!”
Lan Yu said with a smile: "I am responsible for sneaking into Xanadu and delivering the news. All you need to do is divide your forces and attack. The three of us will use this opportunity to make immortal contributions! We will destroy the Yuan Dynasty first!"
Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong thought for a long time, and were both a little surprised by Lan Yu's handwriting. After a while, Zhu Wenzheng suddenly punched Lan Yu hard, and laughed and cursed: "Good boy, what are you talking about?
Xiang’s poems are clearly your excuse! You just want to impress us and help you achieve fame!"
Lan Yu sneered, "Anyway, you can think whatever you want! Let me ask you, do you want to do this? If you do, I will leave now and go to Xanadu! If you don't, you two will only have this much success in your life.
! Still thinking about becoming a marquis and a general in the next life!"
Now the weakness of the two people was mentioned. Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear that as a relative of the emperor, if he wanted to be crowned a knight, he had to make much greater contributions than others.
Most of them have been taken back, so what other achievements can be big enough for them to be knighted?
Aren’t you going to capture Emperor Yuan and make an immortal contribution?
"Lanyu, you have it, we agreed, let's do it!"
The three young men discussed the plan, but soon they discovered a problem. Among other things, the most elite cavalry in the Ming Dynasty were in the hands of Lao Zhu, and even Xu Da could not call them directly.
And this plan requires a false attack on Shanxi and Liaodong, which requires mobilizing other Ming armies to create a false impression, which is not something they can do.
After all the calculations, only Lan Yu is lurking in Xanadu, and they can make the final decision on this matter.
"Why don't you just go ahead and bring the iron pot back, and we won't take the credit from you!"
Lan Yu was so angry that she fell back, "I want to perform meritorious service, not seek death! Even if you cut off the head of the iron pot and put me in it, I won't do it! That broken pot is not worth as much as me!"
The three people discussed it again for a while, and had no choice but to submit the plan and ask the emperor to make a decision.
Doing this means that they have to compete with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
In terms of merit and status, they are definitely not as good as those two. Even Chang Yuchun is Lan Yu's brother-in-law. No matter how you look at it, they have no chance of winning.
But they were not willing to just give up.
Let’s see how Lao Zhu decides!
The three young generals experienced the most difficult and difficult moment, and Xu Da actually walked out with a smile.
Seeing Xu Da's smile, the three people's hearts immediately sank. It's over!
I saw Xu Da walking decisively in front of them, reaching out and patting Lan Yu's shoulder, "Let's go, follow me in!"
Lan Yu was slightly startled and looked at Xu Da stupidly.
Xu Da couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What? Are you asking me to admit defeat in front of you? Brat, I agree with your strategy!"
