Wu Zhuangyuan's magnificent article was not only more brilliant and powerful, but also effectively refuted all the fallacies of Dali. It can be said that the thunder was rolling, and the viewers changed their colors. After reading it, the messenger was deeply impressed and said:
"Sir, you are a great talent. I don't know what your surname is and what your official position is? Please don't hesitate to tell me so that when you go back, adults can give you answers if you ask me."
Wu Bozong smiled sarcastically and said calmly: "It's just a small official in the military front area, how can I have a name?"
"As expected of the Celestial Kingdom, any small official is much better than the most famous talent in Dali." The envoy became more and more awe-struck.
"Okay, don't be sour. Take this message back and tell the uncles and nephews of the Duan family, how can the Han and Tang Yuan Dynasties be compared with the Ming Dynasty?" Lan Yu coughed and said to the messenger in a cold voice:
"The battles that the Han, Tang and Yuan Dynasties could not win, our Ming army will surely win! Wherever they cannot conquer, our Ming army will surely conquer! My army's expedition to Yunnan is not as simple as making you submit in name only, but
We want to set up counties and counties to bring Yunnan back to the territory forever! If you don’t plan to surrender, hurry up and prepare the city defenses, my army will march to Dali within ten days!”
"Yes..." the messenger hurriedly responded in a trembling voice. He was really afraid that this moody general would suddenly pull out his tongue or even gouge out his own eyes...
Unexpectedly, Lan Yu not only did not harm him, but also rewarded him with ten taels of silver and sent him back.
After leaving the Ming army camp, the envoy first touched his tongue and then touched the heavy ingot in his arms. He couldn't help crying with joy. He originally thought that he would die or be disabled this time, but he didn't expect that the other party would not follow the routine at all.
Card……

As soon as the envoy left, the atmosphere in the Chinese military tent became solemn.
"Your Highness and General Zhengnan have agreed to our plan to capture Dali!" Lan Yu looked at the princes with bright eyes and said in a deep voice: "My order!"
All the generals immediately held their breath and concentrated, solemnly obeying orders.
"The Marquis of Xuande and Jin Chaoxing, the Marquis of Jingchuan and Cao Zhen!"
"The general is here!" Jin Chaoxing and Cao Zhen quickly stood up and clasped their fists.
"I will lead a large army to Xiaguan, build attacking tools, and attack the city from the front! I will order you and me to lead 50,000 troops and horses from the east of Er River to Shangguan to attack the city, forming a rivalry with me.
!”
"As ordered!" Jin Chaoxing and the other two responded hurriedly and solemnly.
"Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan!" Lan Yu said in a deep voice again.
"The general is here!" Wang Bi quickly stood up and responded.
"I ordered you to lead five thousand selected forwards, cross the river at night from Shimenjian Road, go around Diancang Mountain, climb the wooden support cliff, and set up a flag after dawn, sound the gongs and drums, and throw wood and rocks at the head of Xiaguan City!" Lan Yu gave the order!
: "To disrupt the enemy army and facilitate the army to attack the city!"
"Yes!" Wang Bi was very happy. This was the most revealing job.
Jin Chaoxing and Cao Zhen looked a little weird, thinking to themselves, even though Mu Ying and Lan Yu didn't deal with each other all day long, when it came to a real fight, even their moves were very different. Isn't this a replica of the Battle of Baishijiang?
In fact, both of them were taught by the same master. Isn't it normal for them to have the same unique skills?

Yu Min was at the Ming army camp in Pindian at this time. After their guard entered Kunming, they followed Xuandehou and started a long journey. Along the way, they won an unknown number of prefectures and counties, but they never fought a serious battle again.
Beaten.
Even people like him are a little impatient and want to have a good fight to enjoy themselves.
So when he heard an officer shouting about choosing a front man, he subconsciously stood up and shouted with countless comrades: "I'll go!"
But this time he was unlucky and didn't get a long draw, so he was really depressed for a while.
Seeing him sitting there dejectedly, Niu Zongqi, who also lost the election, patted Yu Min on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Isn't this just what you wanted? Why are you acting like someone has robbed your wife?"
"That's right..." Yu Min touched the hole in his helmet and suddenly became alarmed. He thought to himself: How did I become like this? It's a good thing that I don't have to be a forward!
But the regret and annoyance of losing the election are also real.
"Oh, I can't explain clearly." Yu Min sighed and looked at his little flag. It was originally filled with eleven people, but now there are only eight left.
"I'm still afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid that Li Laoba and the others will look down on me." After thinking for a long time, he choked out a few words.
"Besides, I want to marry his sister. How can I bother to propose marriage if I don't have an official position?"
"Young man is thinking very far, don't worry." Niu Zongqi said with a smile: "The battle in Yunnan was so beautiful, the emperor will definitely give you a big reward, and everyone will have an official job by then. Work harder, and fight
A hereditary replacement is not a dream!"
"Yeah!" Yu Min nodded heavily, with fire burning in his eyes.
~~
There wasn't much time for Yu Min to sigh, as Lan Yu quickly issued an order for the entire army to set off.
The army began to march towards the south of Cangshan Mountain in a short period of time.
Xiaguan, the lifeblood of the Dali Kingdom, was located there.
Since the Nanzhao period, Xiaguan has been the natural moat for the Dali regime to defend against enemies in the south. Together with Shangguan to the north of Cangshan Mountain, it constitutes two important lines of defense for Dali. Among them, the more important Xiaguan defense line has been built after hundreds of years of construction.
A solid defense line eight miles long stretches across the southern foot of Cangshan Mountain.
There is also a rich Er River that flows through the pass, forming a natural moat. This is a natural and invincible line of defense, which gives the Dali people endless confidence and helps them block the steps of all invaders.
At this time, a total of 50,000 troops were stationed in Xiaguan City, ready to compete with the armies of the Central Plains Dynasty like their ancestors did!
Little did they know that while the Ming army continued to advance into Xiaguan, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan of the Ming Dynasty, quietly left the army with 5,000 selected forwards, took a small path to cross the Er River at night under the cover of darkness, and bypassed them.
behind...
Of course, Dali is not to blame, because there is a high cliff behind them, and even apes cannot climb it. Are they afraid that the Ming army will not be able to fly up with wings?
The Ming army did not have wings, but they were trained in climbing. His Highness the King of Chu's invention could not only be used to abseil, but could also help the army climb up.
Lan Yu had already taken advantage of the time he was stationed in Weichu to quietly conduct on-the-spot investigations on Xiaguan Pass and Diancang Mountain. He even climbed up Diancang Mountain himself to confirm that this plan was feasible, so he called Wang Bi.
Otherwise, he would trick no one but the sixth father-in-law.
The soldiers of the Ming Army first used long bamboo poles to send some thin and light soldiers up the cliff. Then the soldiers lowered the ropes and asked their comrades below to climb the ropes one by one and step up the mountain wall.
From time to time, gravel fell down, injuring the unlucky soldiers, but the soldiers all remained silent and focused only on their climbing movements, without any fear of accidents.
This ever-victorious army has developed an iron will.
Two hours later, all five thousand picks had already climbed up the mountain. Even Marquis Dingyuan climbed up on his own strength at such an old age. One has to envy his physical strength...
