    As a general, it is very embarrassing to lose the city head, especially it is an important northern fortress.  "General, someone is coming from outside." Just as Lan Yu was walking around the house, a soldier from outside ran in.  Through the light from the door, Lan Yu could also see that there was a carriage parked outside, with guards at the front and rear. It looked like they were mostly soldiers and horses.  "Could it be that Prince Chen is here?"  Thinking of this, Lan Yu's heart moved and she quickly walked out. As soon as she walked out of the door, she slowed down again.  The curtain of the carriage opened, and a man slowly walked out.  ¡°I didn¡¯t know that the prince¡¯s arrival would be too late to greet him.¡± Lan Yu said as he walked over.  Chen Feng looked at Lan Yu, his eyebrows were full of worry, and his spirit was a little sluggish. Chen Feng naturally knew that Lan Yu was worried about Xanadu.  "General Lan, you have lived here for a long time, and I have no time to come and see you. Thinking about it, I am really apologetic." Chen Feng said.  I wouldn't feel comfortable if you came to see me, Lan Yu thought, and said: "Your Majesty is busy with everything, and the last general is the defeated general. How dare you trouble Your Majesty? Please come in." This is of course not Chen Feng.  It's his fault, Lan Yu didn't even enter the capital city. From the perspective of his rank and status, there was no reason for the prince to come and see him.  "General Lan, I wonder if you can recover from this condition?" Chen Feng looked at this dilapidated house. Lan Yu had really wronged him by living here these days.  Hearing Chen Feng¡¯s words, Lan Yu didn¡¯t know how to answer. If he recovered, why didn¡¯t he go back and recover?  If he does not recoverwhat is the purpose of the prince coming here?  Could it be that Thinking of this, Lan Yu was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, Lan Yu has just recovered and his martial arts have been restored. Now, Lan Yu is not thinking about regaining the lost ground and avenging his shame all the time." Hearing Lan Yu's words, Chen  Feng's footsteps stopped and he turned to look at Lan Yu.  This man was indeed an outstanding general with great insight. Unfortunately, his character destined him to be a tragic figure in the future.  "Okay, it's best that your body has recovered. Now, the imperial court is planning to regain the lost territory. The emperor has given me all the tasks of regaining Xanadu. Now, the army is being mobilized, led by the king himself. Unfortunately,  I don¡¯t have a suitable candidate for this striker yet,¡± Chen Feng said.  Chen Feng's words made Lan Yu even more delighted: "Your Majesty, Lan Yu is willing to be the vanguard of the entire army and fight back to Xanadu! If you give Lan Yu five thousand soldiers and horses, Lan Yu can take Xanadu!" At this time!  , Lan Yu's eyes were full of hope. These days, she has been thinking about this all the time. Now, finally, she has to let herself make up for this regret.  "Okay, then I will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and you will be the vanguard of the entire army. In two days, we will march to Xanadu in the north of Dadu City!" Chen Feng said.  This time, 30,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized from around Dadu to attack Xanadu. It was neither too much nor too little. Lan Yu wanted 5,000 troops to be the vanguard, but Chen Feng gave him 10,000.  "Yes, I will obey your orders." Lan Yu replied loudly.  "Actually, it was one person's suggestion that you become the striker this time. Although this person is still young, he is already calm and dignified in situations, and has a clear-minded demeanor." Chen Feng said.  Who nominated themselves?  Lan Yu immediately looked at Chen Feng with questioning eyes. This man had been kind to him.  However, Chen Feng didn't say anything else. He reached out and patted Lan Yu, turned around and walked outside.  "There are still many things to do in Dadu, so I will leave first." Chen Feng said.  Before and after, there was no time for a stick of incense. Lan Yu knew that his place was too simple and could not entertain the prince well, so he did not stay longer. Moreover, when the army was dispatched, there were many things that needed to be prepared, and the prince was also very careful.  Being busy, instead of sending someone to give him orders, he came here in person. Lan Yu was already very satisfied.  Watching the prince get on the carriage, Lan Yu was still thinking about it in her heart, who nominated her to be the vanguard?  He is very young, but he has the demeanor of a wise master. Could it be that what Prince Chen is talking about is Zhu Di, the King of Yan?  Thinking of this, Lan Yu slowly convinced herself that this was the only one. Who else could speak in front of Prince Chen besides him?  Zhu Di is named King of Yan and belongs to only Dadu. However, the situation in the north is different after all. He will face the invasion of nomads at any time. Therefore, the power of King Yan will definitely become greater and greater. In the future, all the troops in the north will  , will be controlled by him.  Lan Yu defends the city in the north. No matter from any angle, he must be loyal to King Yan. Moreover, being loyal to King Yan means being loyal to the emperor. Therefore, Lan Yu has no resistance to this.  This time, ?You must fight a good fight and let King Yan see your talents!  Lan Yu thought in her heart.  When Chen Feng returned to Dadu, he received a report that the 30,000 garrison stationed on Baoding Road had arrived in Dadu under the leadership of Mu Ying, the commander of the Capital Command Department.  Mu Ying was also a famous figure in later generations. He, Fu Youde and others pacified Yunnan, and then stayed to guard Yunnan. During the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family guarded Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty until the demise of the Ming Dynasty.  Now, the first half of Mu Ying's life is still the same. She was adopted by Queen Ma as her adopted son. After that, she started serving in Zhu Yuanzhang's army. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for him to guard Hebei.  Zhu Yuanzhang obviously had deep intentions in making this arrangement. Mu Ying has been loved by Zhu Yuanzhang since she was a child and is considered an absolute confidant. If he is allowed to garrison Hebei, then any order given by Zhu Yuanzhang, including at critical moments, will conflict with Chen Feng.  All orders from the other side will be obeyed resolutely.  The Mu family has always been known for their loyalty.  "After Eunuch Li came to Dadu to convey the order, he left. Chen Feng sent someone to follow him. Sure enough, he went to Baoding Road and met Mu Ying. He didn't know what he had to say.  Chen Feng acted as if nothing had happened. Now, when he saw Mu Ying, Chen Feng was very kind.  "Your Majesty, the general has ordered us to lead an army of 30,000 people to listen to your command and prepare to recapture Xanadu." At this time, Mu Ying was less than twenty, and her whole body exuded a sense of vitality.  Because Chen Feng fought so smoothly, it was never Mu Ying's turn to take part in a formal battle. This battle was also the first one that Mu Ying took over the army.  "Well, Mu Ying, with your 30,000 troops, we have hope of regaining Xanadu." Chen Feng said, "I wonder how many cavalry and infantry there are in your 30,000 troops?" In fact, the number of this army is  Chen Feng knew the composition well, it just depended on what kind of people Mu Ying brought.  "Report to the prince, among these 30,000 troops, there are 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry." Mu Ying said: "However, each of our cavalry only has one mount. They do not have as powerful maneuverability as the Mongols. However, the frontal  Confrontation, I dare say that even if we face 30,000 Tatars, I, the cavalry, will dare to rush forward and fight them. "For the people of the Central Plains, the cavalry has always been a shortcoming. No matter how it develops, it has not been around since childhood.  The people on horseback are outstanding, and now, Mu Ying said that her cavalry can face the Mongolian army head-on. She is very confident before she dares to say it. Her disadvantage is that the number of horses is insufficient. If each person has two horses, he can  He ran to Xanadu day and night.  Chen Feng is already very satisfied with Mu Ying's report.  Muying is not a big talker.  "Well, Mu Ying, I will hand over your 10,000 cavalry to someone else to take command and serve as the vanguard. You and I, as the rear team, will jointly lead the 20,000 troops and go to Shangdu together," Chen Feng said.  When Chen Feng said this, the expression on Mu Ying's face suddenly became very strange, very strange.  This is easy to understand. No matter who comes with his own headquarters, he asks himself to hand over his most effective troops to others to lead as soon as he arrives. How is this allowed?  ¡°Moreover, when she came, the eunuch¡¯s words rang in Mu Ying¡¯s ears again. She must be on guard against the prince at all times, and she must protect His Highness Prince Yan. If necessary, she will not hesitate to contradict the prince!  Now, does the prince want to seize his military power?  Mu Ying thought in her heart.  Seeing Mu Ying's expression, Chen Feng knew what he was thinking, and said calmly: "Leave these ten thousand cavalry to Lan Yu to command. I believe that with these ten thousand cavalry, Lan Yu can eliminate the expansion."  Kuo's main force has taken back Shangdu City." When Chen Feng said this, Mu Ying was even more surprised. Lan Yu, the defeated general?  Why would the prince let him lead the army?  Besides, it would be okay if he was allowed to lead the troops, because Lan Yu was not Prince Chen's man.  Mu Ying just thought that the prince would let Chang Ju lead the army.  "Your Majesty, why is this?" Mu Ying asked cautiously: "The general knows that I shouldn't ask these questions. The order I received is to completely obey the prince's arrangements, but I am more curious."  The subordinates could only obey the orders from above. Since these 30,000 people were given to Prince Chen to command, she could just follow Prince Chen's command. However, Mu Ying certainly didn't want to be kept in the dark like this.  "Lanyu lost Shangdu City and has been very depressed. Therefore, this time Lanyu will go out on an expedition and will do his best to recapture the city and hand it over to Lanyu's 10,000-strong army. It is enough. And we lead 20,000 infantry. In fact,  There is no need to fight at all," Chen Feng said.  No need to fight?  What else are you going to do?  "The main task of the twenty thousand of us is to protect King Yan."??Chen Feng said.  When Chen Feng said this, Mu Ying was suddenly shocked.  Indeed, this time, King Yan wants to go with him to experience the war. In this case, our main task is not to fight Xanadu at all, but to protect the safety of King Yan!  Suddenly, Mu Ying had no doubts. There was a reason for every strategy the prince made.  However, with only 10,000 cavalry, if they go to attack Xanadu, can they defeat it?  Mu Ying was full of doubts about this.  ¡¾Hey, want to read this book for free?  Follow us on WeChat: and read]
