Lan Yu was riding on horseback, looking at the Niu Dafu whom she wanted from Taisun.

Niu Dafu, who was still in Yingzhou and served as a hundred-household official in the Eastern Expedition Army, is now completely prosperous.

So much so that he often wonders if he should go back to his hometown to see if there is really smoke coming out of his ancestral tomb.

The standard armor worn by Commander Tongzhi is heavier than the armor of Baihuguan or even Qianhuguan.

Lan Yu admired this commanding colleague who had such a naive air.

He has been marching on the grassland for more than a month with more than ten thousand cavalry. His face is covered with vicissitudes of blue jade, and he looks at Niu Dafu who drives his horse to his side with his head lowered.

He smiled faintly: "Have you ever heard of how the emperors of the BC Yuan Dynasty were buried after their death?"

Niu Dafu looked up at the surrounding grasslands and nodded.

"I have heard from my brothers in the army these days that the emperors of the former Yuan Dynasty were buried under this grassland."

Lan Yu nodded and hummed twice.

"A group of barbarians, and only this group of barbarians without good etiquette, can do something like riding a horse and trampling on the buns in the tombs of our ancestors."

Niu Dafu was noncommittal about this.

It can be said that Niu Dafu, who really started from humble beginnings, is now an official commander and commander, leading the three thousand cavalry of the Chinese army in Lan Yu's army.

But he always abides by the principle that whatever his superiors say will be whatever he says, and he will never say another word.

Lan Yu said again: "Thirty years of fame are dust and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. We, Lan Yu, can't achieve the same level of achievements as Prince Yue, but I have also walked three thousand miles with my brothers this time, right?"

.”

Niu Dafu nodded.

Starting from Datong, they had traveled nearly three thousand miles.

Lan Yu snorted heavily, and the riding crop in her hand made a loud sound in the air.

He gritted his teeth and said: "But where are the Tatars! Where are those wolf cubs! I didn't even see a bumpkin!"

Niu Dafu looked up at the surrounding grasslands again.

Although the snow on the grasslands has long since melted, the snow on the mountains in the distance seems to remain unchanged all year round.

Stretching out his hand, the air was also cold.

They have traveled three thousand miles and have gone very far north.

You shouldn't miss the Tatars.

After all, on their marching route, the scouts were scattered for hundreds of miles to the left and right every day, taking turns at the Central Military Headquarters.

And they don't walk in a straight line.

But even so, the Tatars were still nowhere to be found.

Niu Dafu lowered his head and said dullly: "According to the general's military order, the army has interrogated the Tatars captured along the way with capital punishment. Except for finding out the news that the Tatar royal court has evacuated, no one knows that the Tatars have been evacuated."

Where have the main forces of King Tartar gone?"

"unlucky!"

Lan Yu spat with anger on her face but nowhere to vent her anger.

At this time, there were several war horses in front, trampling patches of green grass and heading towards the front of the formation.

Lan Yu narrowed her eyes slightly.

When the scouts who came out arrived, Lan Yu said, "Is there any news?"

The scouts shook their heads, but then said instead: "Report to the general, there is a big lake ahead."

Lan Yu immediately stretched out her hand: "Bring me Kanyu."

Niu Dafu quickly took out a kanyu from his horse, unfolded it and placed it in front of Lan Yu.

Lan Yu asked: "How is the trend of Dahu?"

The scout replied: "From southwest to northeast, the lake is as deep as ink and freezing cold."

"North Sea?"

Lan Yu narrowed her eyes, hesitated slightly, and glanced sideways at Niu Dafu.

Niu Dafu nodded and said slowly: "It should be Beihai..."

A muffled sound came from Lan Yu's mouth.

"I've already gone to the North Sea, but where are the Tatars?"

Turn around.

The army has already moved to the north coast.

More than 10,000 cavalrymen, running thousands of miles during these days, were so exhausted that they all dismounted and fetched water from the shore.

The lake water is cold, but sweet and delicious.

Niu Dafu went to the shore, and then returned to Lan Yu, who had just ordered to set up camp here, and then decided where to go with the army.

"General, my subordinates have just taken some people to measure the water here. I don't know how deep the water is. I have ordered that all officers and soldiers of the army are strictly prohibited from entering the water."

Lan Yu just nodded slightly.

Looking at the deep black water in the middle of the lake, I knew that the depth of the water here was probably unimaginable.

He glanced at the soldiers under his command who were fetching water for himself and his horses on the shore.

Lan Yu couldn't help but smile.

"I heard that when our great scholar Ren Tu was in Yingzhou, he would erect a boundary monument of our Ming Dynasty wherever he went."

Niu Dafu, who came from the Eastern Expedition Army, knows this best.

A smile finally appeared on his face, and he nodded and said: "The bachelor said, those are the marks. If a boundary monument is buried, the land will be ours."

Lan Yu also laughed: "Instruct the rear army to erect a boundary monument for me here. It must be big! It must be thick! It must be strong! Even if it lasts thousands of years, it will not break or decay!"

Niu Dafu was about to turn around and go to the rear army to deliver the order.

Lan Yu called him back again.

"Tell them to bury another stone slab again."

Niu Dafu asked: "What should the general write?"

"Just write..."

"Lanyu, Duke of Liang Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, came here for a visit."
