"A man is born in this world, and he must stand upright. How can he have the idea of ​​​​eating and waiting to die?" Lan Yu placed the wine bowl heavily on the low table, looking at Han Du with wide eyes full of anger.

For Lan Yu, who desperately longs for military glory, the idea of ​​eating and waiting to die is even more terrifying than a scourge. Don't even say it out loud, you can't even think about it!

If it hadn't been for the Han Du he was facing today, if it had been someone else, Lan Yu would have smashed the bowl into his face, and how could he still be sitting here safely. If he didn't smash the bowl, he would have walked away long ago.

Han Du couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Lan Yu's reaction so fiercely. Then I thought that the rumors were indeed true. It is said that Lan Yu has a strong temper and will go crazy when she is stimulated. When she becomes crazy, she will not even care about her own life and death. Otherwise, during the bloody battle in Hongdu, when the city gate was breached, other people would have either escaped or perished with the city.

However, Lan Yu fought back from the city gate, defeating Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army with 30,000 men, and made Chen Youliang flee in panic.

Facing the aggressive Lan Yu, Han Du just smiled faintly and said, "It seems that brother wants to continue to make meritorious services? But if you continue to make meritorious services, how will the emperor reward you? After becoming a duke, the next step is to make him a king. , but brother, have you ever seen a living king with a different surname?"

Ever since Liu Bang shouted, "People with different surnames cannot be crowned kings," this has become an iron rule for almost all aspiring emperors, and Lao Zhu is a staunch defender of this iron rule. Xu Da, who ranked first among the founding heroes, could not be crowned king while he was still alive. What Lao Zhu means is to tell everyone else clearly, so you should not have extravagant expectations.

Lan Yu drank a bowl of wine in a dull tone. He was naturally eager to be crowned king, but he also knew that since Xu Da was not able to be crowned king while he was still alive, he naturally did not dare to think about it. Although he was arrogant and did not take ordinary people seriously, he admired Xu Da from the bottom of his heart and felt inferior to him.

"Can't you be a Grand Master?" Lan Yu said suddenly.

Han Du was shocked when he heard this and looked at Lan Yu dumbfounded. He never expected that these words would come out of Lan Yu's mouth.

Master! Being the head of the Three Dukes, it is natural for everyone to want to be in the position and serve as ministers. But when Lan Yu said this, Han Du felt completely different from when ordinary people said this.

Ordinary people drink and brag, saying that they will be a grand master in the future. After that, when they sober up, they may not even remember it.

But Lan Yu gave Han Du the feeling that he was serious... In other words, the position of Grand Master had become Lan Yu's obsession.

Han Du immediately lowered his head and quickly picked up the wine bowl and took a sip to cover up his inner panic. Then he raised his head and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Brother, why do you want to be a Grand Master?"

Lan Yu didn't hide anything in front of Han Du. After a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine, he said: "Since the King of Zhongshan was able to be the Grand Master in the beginning, why can't I do it?"

Lan Yu is comparing herself to Xu Da!

Also, in the bloody battle at Hongdu, he was able to defeat Chen Youliang's 600,000 army with 30,000 men. Such achievements, let alone Xu Da's, are rare in all dynasties. Perhaps in Lan Yu's heart, he always thinks about competing with Xu Dabi, and he may even often regret that he was born a few years late.

After hearing this, Han Du looked at Lan Yu with a solemn expression and looked at Lan Yu without blinking. After a moment, he said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to compete with the King of Zhongshan? Don't you want him to be more beautiful than the one before you?"

"Why not?" Lan Yu squinted at Han Du while drinking wine. Han Du didn't mean to make fun of him, so he said loudly: "When it comes to marching, fighting, and killing enemies in battle, is anyone weaker than him? "

Facing the piercing blue jade eyes, Han Du lowered his head and pondered. Lan Yu is still immersed in his illustrious martial arts in the bloody battle with Hongdu. It seems that after all these years, he is still recalling his achievements.

Han Du looked fearlessly into Lan Yu's eyes, slowly put down the bowl in his hand, and responded: "If the elder brother is talking about the Battle of Hongdu, then the younger brother also thinks that the elder brother is enough to rival the King of Zhongshan. After all, it was like that at the beginning Under the circumstances, even if King Zhongshan guards Hongdu, it cannot be said that he can defeat Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army."

"Hahaha,"

Lan Yu laughed happily, drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, waved to Han Du, and said in a reserved manner: "It's all in the past, don't mention it anymore, don't mention it anymore... "

On the surface, Lan Yu kept silent about it, but his words revealed that what he was most proud of in his life was the battle in Hongdu.

Han Du's face was expressionless. When Lan Yu was happy enough, he slowly said: "Brother defeated an army of 600,000 with 30,000. It is indeed an outstanding achievement."

As he said that, Han Du rolled his eyes, looked at Lan Yu and said: "Although Brother Hongdu is brave and uses his troops well, the reason why he can win is more because Chen Youliang has great ambition and talent, and is too useless. If he had been hiding behind the army In the rear camp, if we don’t engage in such fancy things as taking the lead, do you think we can still win?"

The 600,000-strong army was defeated by 30,000 people. The biggest reason was that Chen Youliang committed suicide. He was obviously drained by wine and sex, but he still thought he was the best general in the world. An emperor actually rushed to the front. Perhaps in Chen Youliang's view, his 600,000 troops surrounded the city, and the people in the city had long been frightened to the point of closing the city gates tightly and did not dare to leave the city at all.

As a result, Lan Yu, who was not afraid of death, pushed back. Where could Chen Youliang have seen Lan Yu's ferocious appearance covered in blood? I thought it was an evil spirit crawling out of hell, so I turned around and ran away in fear. As soon as he ran away, the other soldiers saw that the emperor had run away, so they naturally followed him and were defeated by Lan Yu in one fell swoop.

It can be said that Hongdu's bloody battle with Lan Yu mainly took advantage of Chen Langlang. If Chen Youliang didn't run to the front and guard the rear, the 600,000-strong army would be able to grind the blue jade into slag.

Lan Yu was silent when he heard this. Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid. He knew that in the bloody battle in Hongdu, he had too much luck to win, but the more luck he had in winning, and the more things he could not reproduce, the more he would remember them in his heart and miss them often.

As time went on, he began to arrogantly regard the original coincidence as his own ability.

Fortunately, Han Du's words made Lan Yu, who was gradually addicted, sober up a little.

Han Du continued: "The King of Zhongshan is the most important official in the founding of the country, and the Grand Master is the first among all ministers. He is not only good at fighting. He is also good at military and government affairs. He can also lead troops to attack without defeat. When you ascend to the throne, you can also make suggestions for the emperor. It can be said that the King of Zhongshan can conquer the world when he mounts his horse, and he can bring peace to the people when he dismounts."
