"You call me Your Highness, if dad hears it later, he will definitely slap me with a big mouth!"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled innocently, without any of the arrogance and arrogance of a prince or grandson.
"The etiquette cannot be discarded!" Fu Youde insisted.
"Brother Fu, what a gift! You are almost like that, why do you still care about these things?" Lan Yu said from the side, "Damn it, it's not me. Let's put it bluntly,
Back then, people like us didn’t have to work hard with our heads tied to our trousers, how could little ones like them be born into princes and grandsons?”
"You...Hi!" Fu Youde sighed and shook his head, "Waiter, you, let me say whatever you want!" Then he smiled bitterly and said, "You are the only one who dares to say such nonsense!"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Shuai Lan is telling the truth. In front of the two veterans, I am just a junior!!"
"Look!" Lan Yu said with a smile, "How sensible this boy is!" Then he said, "Your father swallowed up the Tatar team?"
"Not counting the annexation, the 10,000 households led by the Tatars were directly reduced!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile, "My father took them all under his command!"
Suddenly, the smile on Lan Yu's face disappeared, "All of them are under your father's command? Does that mean that they are your private soldiers of Yan Fan?"
"Ah!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded dully, "Yes, my cavalry has almost finished this battle, with only 30% left. Now it happens that these Tatar cavalry can be added!"
Then he added, "At that time, someone told my father that if they refused to surrender, they would just trap and kill all these Tatars! My father said that in a war, everyone is their own master and there is nothing they can do, but killing people after they surrender is not a heroic act.
"
"How many?" Lan Yu asked, "How many Tatars surrendered?"
"Twelve thousand!" Zhu Gaoxu said, "They are all cavalry, and everyone has a war horse. My father also said that when this battle is completely over, he can take these people and gather all the people from their tribe to fight for the war.
What I use..."
"Hehe!" Lan Yu suddenly grinned, "Your father is really good at planning!" As he said that, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "You kid, you are so honest!"
"I am only honest with you!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile again, "The Tatar rear group has surrendered. My father asked his vanguard to continue chasing. Now the Tatars are running hard to the east...
."
"Huh?" Fu Youde, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said in surprise, "To the east? Why are you chasing them to the east? Why are you still chasing them after the war has started? Just pounce on them and bite them, and then Pingbaoer's cavalry will surround them from the flanks.
He rushed to the east, and after passing Liugenberg, the Tatars fled out!"
The Liugenbao Fu Youde mentioned was exactly where Li Jinglong garrisoned his army.
"Who's blocking the road in the east?" Lan Yu asked with a deep look.
"That kid Li Jinglong!" Fu Youde said in a deep voice.
"Hiss!" Suddenly, Lan Yu felt a little headache, "Why did you put him there?"
"Where to put it?" Fu Youde smiled bitterly and said, "Ping Baoer sent me this message saying that the emperor's grandson asked him to take Li Jinglong to send troops. He thought about it and took it with him. If something happens and he can't explain it,
Besides, that person might be a burden. If you don’t take him with you, it won’t make sense!”
"So, Ping Bao'er chose a safe place for Li Jinglong to garrison! He was afraid that Li Jinglong would find it easier to do his job, so he went out of his way to threaten him!"
"It's broken!" He said, Fu Youde slapped his thigh, "If we continue to push them away like this, the Tatars will have no choice but to break out from Li Jinglong's side. That kid is not a good person, and I'm afraid he will do something bad by then.
!”
"When the Tatars withdrew, that's where they chose!" Lan Yu gritted her teeth and said, "The Tatars surrendered with an army of ten thousand people, and the King of Yan was complacent. Little did he know that the Tatars had already left at this time.
It’s far away. It looks like we are chasing him, but in fact he is running towards death with oil on his feet!"
Fu Youde also had a solemn look on his face and said after thinking, "If we really let these Tatars escape, we old buddies will really make a fuss!"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the solemn faces of the two of them, thought for a while and said, "You two, my father said it. Even if the Tatars ran away, it would be fine. He just happened to lead the soldiers behind to sweep the caves. The tribes he saw along the way,
They were all pulled out directly!”
Hearing this, Lan Yu and Fu Youde looked at each other without saying anything.
They sat quietly like this until Zhu Gaoxu exited the military tent, and the two of them exchanged more eyes.
After fighting for a lifetime, they all know how unreliable Zhu Gaoxu's words are about King Yan leading his army to sweep along the way. Now in the dead of winter, before they can find the enemy, their own side is frozen to death. Moreover, the battle line is too far apart.
The longer it goes, the more difficult the logistics will be.
Furthermore, the imperial court would not allow it. More than 200,000 troops were in the hands of a vassal king, commanded by him.
After a long time, Lan Yu slowly said, "Do you respect yourself when raising bandits?"
"King Yan is not that confused!" Fu Youde said, "The Tatars have killed so many of his people, and his temperament will definitely kill them all!"
"It is precisely because his people suffered heavy casualties that he had to support the bandits!" Lan Yu whispered, "If I were the King of Yan, the same would be true." After saying that, he suddenly sneered, "The Tatars are no longer a threat, and my men are
I'm dead, and the imperial court can move me with just a few words? But if the Tatars are still there, it's another story!"
"Xiao Er!" Fu Youde said in a deep voice, "Such things are not something that I and other ministers can speculate on at will! Besides..."
"Brother!" Lan Yu sneered, "It would be the same if it were you and me!"
Fu Youde thought about it, bowed his head and said nothing. They were all people who came out of troubled times, and they could understand such things after a little thought.
"If you want to be a hero, you must first be a tyrant!" Lan Yu sneered solemnly, "A man who is too majestic and upright cannot be a good master. In recent years, in addition to fighting, King Zhu Di of Yan has also improved a lot in his thinking, strategy, and power!
"
"The matter has come to this, we can't control those things, and we can't do anything about them!" Fu Youde said thoughtfully, "The most urgent task is to block the Tatars outside Liugenbao and annihilate them all!"
"I'll gather the troops and horses!" Lan Yu stood up and said.
"I'm sending a message to Ping Bao'er!" Fu Youde said.
Both of them seemed to have forgotten at the same time that they were now under the command of King Zhu Di of Yan.

"Where do you put me?"
Zhu Di stared at the monk Daoyan Yao Guangxiao who was pretending to be a military doctor and said angrily, "Who asked you to negotiate privately with the Tatars? Who gave you the power?"
There were only two of them in the tent here. Yao Guangxiao showed no fear on his face and was still smiling.
"Qiansui, little monk, this is all for you and for the good of Yan Fan!" He smiled slightly and said, "Wuliangha said that as long as you don't chase them so closely and let them out, they are willing to offer three thousand war horses and Mu
Five thousand slaves, willing to become ministers and be canonized by the Ming Dynasty..."
"Do you know how many people under my command have died?" Zhu Di was furious. He grabbed the opponent's neck and shouted, "Immortal hatred!"
"Cough! Cough!" Yao Guangxiao was out of breath and struggled to say, "Thousand-year-old, remember that the good bow is hidden when the birds are gone. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys are cooked!"
Zhu Di's hand suddenly relaxed.
"Cough! Cough!" Yao Guangxiao coughed twice and let out a long breath, "Qiansui, you have killed all the Tatars, what good can you get? The Yan Fan has been seriously injured in this battle, and now you are still carrying your men
Erlang is the vanguard and pursues Beiyuan fiercely!"
"Little monk, let me tell you one more thing. If you really block the Tatars, when you lead the people to fight, will you still die? Will it be your people who die? If so, even the Tatars will die.
Now, how many people can we have left in Yan Fan?"
"If you don't have soldiers in your hands, what kind of king are you?"
"Do you really think that people like Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Ping An, and Li Jinglong can always listen to you!"
"My lord, you don't plan for a moment or for eternity. There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests!"
