Tang He shook his head gently and sighed: "Do you think that by being soft and hard, the Emperor will change his mind and agree? You are still too self-righteous. The Emperor's tenacity is beyond your imagination. If you continue to do this, you will only be in vain. I don't believe it. Just give it a try."
After listening to Tang He's words, Han Du also felt that he had really taken it too much for granted before? Lao Zhu suspended himself from his post at first, and then put himself in charge of the Jiaofang Division. At that time, I thought that Lao Zhu was giving himself a test, thinking that if he could manage the Jiaofang Division in an orderly and prosperous way, Lao Zhu would look at me differently and marry Princess Anqing to him.
But now after listening to Tang He's words, Han Du couldn't help but have another idea in his mind. Maybe Tang He was right. Lao Zhu never thought about marrying Princess Anqing to himself?
Now Jiaofangsi is on the right track, standing directly on top of the entertainment venues in the capital and overlooking everything, and has become a famous gold-selling cave in the capital. To describe Jiaofangsi as a person who makes a fortune every day, it is not enough. Logically speaking, this should be enough to satisfy Lao Zhu. But for so long, Han Du has never heard a change of mind from Lao Zhu. There wasn't even a hint of a change of mind, which was really wrong. If Tang He hadn't mentioned it, Han Du really hadn't noticed this and was still imagining that when he made enough money for Lao Zhu, he would marry Princess Anqing to himself.
But the matter has come to this, and Han Du has no choice but to bite the bullet and continue according to the previous plan.
To put it another way, what Tang He said may not be right. What if I can really impress Lao Zhu? After all, I have made a lot of contributions.
"I believe the emperor will see my value. After all, my role is much greater than that of Ouyang Lun." Han Du was made upset by Tang He's words and did not want to continue to be involved in this matter. After getting entangled, he said confidently.
After hearing this, Tang He just snorted coldly and said nothing more. He just looked into Han Du's eyes, the sarcasm getting stronger and stronger.
After taking care of Tanghe, Han Du returned to his usual self. But now, in addition to going to Jiaofangsi, there is another place to go to Tang He for a chat.
The days passed so unremarkably, and one month later came quickly.
Lan Yu is finally back.
Although the army conquering the south easily captured the entire Yunnan without any fighting, the imperial court's foundation in Yunnan was unstable due to the initial decision of Yunnan. Lao Zhu instructed Mu Ying to lead part of the army to continue guarding Yunnan, while the rest, led by Lan Yu, returned to the court.
The news of Lan Yu's return to the capital was much smaller than that of Xu Da. There was no Lao Zhu who led hundreds of officials to meet him thirty miles away, and there were no imperial companions. King Yan drove his car. Of course, Lan Yu's status and prestige cannot be compared with Xu Da's now. If Lao Zhu really did this, he would be frightened.
Lan Yu just brought the army back to the large training ground outside the capital, and then went to the Ministry of War to give orders and put an end to the matter.
For the imperial court, Lan Yu's return to Beijing may be just a small matter, but for the Yongchang Marquis, it is a big deal. Therefore, the Marquis of Yongchang specially prepared a special banquet to welcome Lan Yu.
Han Du naturally also participated.
At the banquet, Han Du saw the current Lan Yu. His previous decadent posture was gone and he became high-spirited. Some people are really born for the battlefield. If someone like Xiang Lanyu leaves the battlefield, it will be like a fish leaving the water.
It's better now, although I didn't even fight a decent battle in Yunnan. But the life of leading an army on a galloping gallop and having tens of thousands of troops following him inspired Lan Yu's vitality.
Now Lan Yu is high-spirited and confident, sitting on the main seat, and her powerful aura seems to envelope the entire Yongchang Houfu.
Lan Yu picked up the wine glass. This first glass of wine was supposed to be a toast to his relatives and friends, but instead he came towards Han Du.
"This is your first glass of wine, let me toast you!"
Han Du immediately stood up and refused without knowing why, saying, "Brother, what are you doing? This wine should be given to you all."
However, Lan Yu blocked Han Du's hand with a wave of his hand and insisted: "We know, but we are the first to respect you today. That's great, I will apologize to them one by one later."
"good!!!"
The people who came to support Lan Yu today were all generals in the army. Seeing such excitement, not only did they not feel that Lan Yu had done anything disrespectful, but they also looked forward to Lan Yu's apology one by one.
This is what military commanders and civil servants call rough people. It's really rough. When you're in a mood, you don't care about etiquette or etiquette at all. It's all about how you feel happy.
Han Du couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Lan Yu held the wine glass and did not drink directly, but continued: "It's not that my brother doesn't understand etiquette, it's really my virtuous brother who helped me a lot."
After saying that, he turned around and looked around at everyone, and sighed: "If you haven't been to Yunnan, you don't know how powerful the misty land is. If it weren't for the prescription of a wise brother, this expedition to Yunnan would be in vain, but it would still be a loss. I don’t know how many people will die. My dear brother saved countless brothers in our army, and they deserve this first glass of wine!"
After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.
Seeing Lan Yu like this, the others were all moved. While drinking and drinking, they asked about the details of the expedition to Yunnan.
Following Lan Yu's story, Han Du learned what exactly happened in the Zhengnan Army.
Lan Yu marched all the way, and the residual Yuan forces did indeed surrender. They occupied a large number of cities without spending a single soldier. Although the march went smoothly, the army was in a lot of trouble. Not long after entering Yunnan, some people in the army kept falling ill. At first, Lan Yu didn't pay attention to it. She just thought it was a normal illness of the soldiers. She just ordered the army doctor to treat it, and didn't take it seriously. superior.
However, in just ten days, more and more soldiers fell ill in the army, and the doctor could not cure them at all. Only then did Lan Yu realize that something was wrong, but it was already too late. Almost 10% of the soldiers in the entire army showed signs of illness. At this time, there was an uproar within the army, and the morale of the army was unstable. Fortunately, the residual Yuan forces did not dare to confront the army, so no losses were caused.
If the residual forces could gather an army to attack Lan Yu at that time, to be honest, Lan Yu himself was not sure that he could withstand it.
Although there was no attack, Lan Yu was still anxious in the face of such a situation. What's more important is that as time goes on, the people who were initially infected are already dying.
