In Gyeongju City, as all the Mongolians who could not escape surrendered, the Ming army completely occupied the four city gates. This six-hundred-mile snowstorm battle ended with a complete victory for the Ming army.

Lanyu stood proudly on the Gyeongju White Tower with a victor's attitude, listening to the captive Mongolian scribe explain the history of the tower:

"This pagoda is also known as the Sakyamuni Tathagata Relic Pagoda. It is an octagonal seven-story pavilion-style pagoda, about 23 feet high. It was built in the 18th year of Chongxi reign of Emperor Xingzong of Liao Dynasty. It was built by Xingzong of Liao Dynasty in memory of Emperor Shengzong."

"Oh? Didn't you say that this place was built by the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom?" Lan Yu asked, "Why did the Liao Kingdom build a tower here?"

"Who said this was built by the Jin Kingdom?" The secretary shook his head and said: "This is Qingyun Mountain in the north, where the tombs of the three emperors Shengzong, Xingzong and Daozong of the Liao Kingdom are located. The Khitan people collectively call it Gyeongneung. Gyeongju is the city where these three tombs are enshrined and protected.”

"Okay..." Lan Yu felt depressed for a while. He secretly scolded Lai Tu for his lies, but it was normal to think about it. He, a Mongolian warrior, didn't know much about history.

"It is said that the surface of the copper-cast pagoda was gilded, and each floor of the pagoda was inlaid with bronze mirrors, totaling about 1,500 mirrors. Whenever the sun shines, the golden light shines so brightly that it can be seen from dozens of miles away. It's a pity that they were all pried away by the Jin people, leaving only the chalk tower body, which looks dilapidated. It's such a pity." The secretary shook his head and sighed.

"It is indeed a pity." Lan Yu nodded and said with infinite regret: "Otherwise, it would be a huge sum of military resources..."

"..." The secretary was speechless when he heard this. Even if the pagoda is completely preserved to this day, it cannot escape the murderous hands of this Ming Dynasty general.

He thought that this Ming general took him to the tower as soon as he arrived because he loved culture as much as he did... That's why he worked hard to introduce the long history of Gyeongju. He really hoped that he would be merciful and not let this ancient city be destroyed. once.

Of course, Lan Yu didn't love culture. The purpose of climbing the tower was to overlook the whole city and have an intuitive understanding of the layout of Gyeongju City.

Only in this way can we arrange the deployment of defenses and make looting more efficient...

After Lan Yu looked around and had a rough idea, he asked again: "Why isn't Nahachu in Gyeongju City?"

"Back to the general, because our ranch is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, so most of the tribes and people are also in the mountains, and the king will go there for inspections regularly." The secretary replied: "Normally he will not come back until the end of the month, but this time he will not come back again. came back……"

"Why, I have captured so many princes and nobles, and he doesn't want to save them?" Lan Yu glanced at him.

"What's the point of thinking? This is Gyeongju City. Who can capture it?" The secretary said and couldn't help but add in a low voice: "It's the same if you don't attack by surprise."

Lan Yu frowned when he heard this, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Upon seeing this, his personal soldiers kicked the secretary off the seven-story tower.

Zhao Yong happened to bring two prisoners to the foot of the tower. He heard the shrill screams. Before he could raise his head, he heard another bang and saw a man falling heavily three feet in front of them.

The screams stopped abruptly, and brains splattered all over the three of them...

It startled all three of them.

Zhao Yong quickly came to his senses and continued to lead the two of them up the tower to see General Lan.

"Why did that guy offend the general?" Zhao Yong asked Lan Yu as soon as they met.

"I hate people who are arrogant the most." Lan Yu said calmly but didn't care.

Zhao Yong shrank his neck when he heard this. He felt that Lan Yu also said this to him.

"Who are these two people?" Lan Yu glanced at the two richly dressed young people. The two of them immediately looked like sheep being stared at by a tiger, not daring to breathe or move.

"This is Chahan, the eldest son of Naha," Zhao Yong pointed at the two of them and explained, "That is Bulanxi, the son of Pingzhang Guolai."

In the official system of the Yuan Dynasty, the highest official of the province was the prime minister, and Pingzhang was the prime minister's deputy. Nahachu was the prime minister of Liaoyang Province in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so Pingzhang Guolai was his second in command. So when Naha was away, Guo was responsible for everything in Gyeongju City.

"I didn't expect the harvest to be quite big." After hearing that Naha Chu and Guo Lai's sons had been captured, Lan Yu finally had a smile on her tense face.

"Yes." Zhao Yong agreed with a smile: "It somewhat makes up for the regret of not catching Naha Chu and letting Guo Lai escape..."

Lan Yu frowned again when he heard this, and Zhao Yong was so frightened that he quickly explained: "What I mean is, if you catch the young one, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract the old one?"

"Yes." Lan Yu nodded and asked Na Chahan and Bu Lanxi in a deep voice: "Do you want to live or die?"

During the interrogation, this was originally a very common opening statement, just like asking ‘Have you eaten? 'Same.

But when it came out of Lan Yu's mouth, the threat level was immediately increased. The two sons of the Mongolian princes were afraid that he would kick him off the tower, so they hurriedly said: "I want to live, I want to live."

"Then write down exactly what you know about the strength, distribution, generals, and their thoughts. Whoever explains clearly will be let live." Lan Yu's eyes without human emotions looked between the two. The body of the person was swept back and forth, making their hair stand on end.

"As for the other one, hum, I'm sorry...do you understand?!"

"I understand." The two nodded vigorously. Threats from evil people are the best. They have already begun to think hard about how to betray me.

"Go down." Lan Yu waved her hand and remembered something again and said, "By the way, let them identify the prisoners first to prevent any big fish from slipping through the net."

"Yes." The soldier responded and escorted the two prisoners down the tower.

"There shouldn't be any fish that slipped through the net." At this time, Zhao Yongcai said: "The general was not there at the time and did not see the previous scene. Those princes and nobles all identified themselves as soon as possible, fearing that they would be killed as ordinary prisoners. settled the account.”

"This is all the result of the emperor's preferential treatment over the years." Lan Yu actually disagreed with the emperor's policy. He felt that those who surrendered voluntarily could be given preferential treatment. Those prisoners should be killed without mercy, so that no one would dare to confront the Ming army.

However, no matter how daring he was, he did not dare to speak ill of the emperor. He said something ambiguous, and then continued: "But the main force from Naha is still there, and it is of little significance to capture them. I don't believe that he will just because his son was captured." Take the initiative to surrender.”

After a pause, he added: "At least Dingyuan Hou's side must fight well and cut off their retreat."

"Yes." Zhao Yong nodded and worried for Wang Bi: "I just heard from Nachahan that King Azashili of Liao had an unpleasant quarrel with his subordinates from Naha, and he led the Ulliangha tribe to Tongliao in anger. Maybe Dingyuanhou and his party will have to deal with twice as many enemies as the 20,000 Weng Niute troops they scouted before."

"Don't worry, I think I'm the best in the world when it comes to running thousands of miles. But if I lead the cavalry in a frontal battle and attack Zunzu, I'm afraid only my brother-in-law can beat the king of double swords." Lan Yu said with full confidence in Wang Bi:

"If you don't believe it, just look at it. It would have been better if the Wuliangha tribe didn't go. If the Wuliangha tribe and the Wengniute tribe got together, Wang Bi would definitely win."
