Chapter 427: Tianzhu’s mentality collapsed
At night, according to Lan Yu's arrangement, the coalition forces were divided into three groups while taking advantage of the darkness.
Some of them were stationed in place to confuse the defenders of the Sultan of Delhi.
Some of them went to the position of the last operation and made a feint attack to contain the Delhi Sudanese garrison in the east.
As for the main force, they followed Lan Yu's Ming army and galloped all the way to the five small states occupied by the Delhi Sultan's army.
Although the Ming Dynasty's infrastructure has not reached this area, relying on advanced tools and well-trained war horses, Lian's movement speed has not been weakened much.
After two days of day and night, when the Delhi Sultan's army had finished recuperating and was preparing to continue marching towards the small western states, the war started and they suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
Sudden changes and nearly crushing equipment caused the Delhi Sultan's army to be defeated in only half a day and began to retreat into the country.
As for the coalition forces, except for a small number of troops who were left to maintain local security to prevent the attack of the Delhi Sultan's scattered troops, the rest followed Lan Yu and continued the attack.
Three days later, the remnants of the Delhi Sultanate's army had withdrawn into the territory of the Delhi Sultanate.
It is a pity that the ancient kingdom of Tianzhu, which is also known as the Central Plains and has a thousand-year heritage, almost collapsed in just three days under the Delhi Sultan.
If Lan Yu hadn't wanted to kill them all, and the Delhi Sultanate had already set up various obstacles at the border, perhaps the Ming Dynasty's coalition forces would have reached the royal city of the Delhi Sultan at this moment.
Temporary camp, handsome tent.
Lan Yucai had just written and sealed the official document to be reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, when he heard a school captain rushing in outside.
Lan Yu frowned and was about to ask, but the captain spoke first.
"General! Tianzhu sent envoys here to see you! Now we have captured him as a spy. How do you think we should deal with it?"
Upon hearing Tianzhu's request for peace, Lan Yu snorted coldly, and her expression instantly changed from calm to disdain and anger.
He led his army from afar to achieve great success and increase his prestige in the court, especially among the generals.
You must know that although he has outstanding martial arts, in the eyes of most people, he only has the opportunity to lead the army because of Lan Yu's connection and the trust of the prince.
No martial artist would be willing to be looked down upon like this, so when he came here, he hoped to be Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
"Kick people away with sticks and sticks! I, the Ming Dynasty, have come all the way. How can it be that he wants to negotiate peace and just negotiate directly?"
After hearing Lan Yu's words, the captain was a little embarrassed, but he still quickly passed the order.
When the news came out, there was a lot of discussion in the army. Many people felt that Lan Yu's move might anger the Delhi Sultanate.
After all, although Tianzhu is now in decline, the Delhi Sultanate has become a trapped beast, and it is inevitable to fight to the death.
What was unexpected was that after receiving the news, the Delhi Sultanate not only failed to prevent any form of attack, but instead ordered the army to retreat some distance into the country.
As a result, the morale of the coalition forces was greatly boosted, and the original suspects also began to retreat under Lan Yu's order to join the main formation.
But even so, after receiving the news, the Delhi Sultanate still did not dare to take any action.
Obviously after this battle, the Sultan of Delhi had lost his fighting spirit and no longer had any courage to fight.
Seeing this, Lan Yu immediately ordered to reward the three armies.
The originally tense military atmosphere became much more relaxed under this order.
As for the small states that had been invaded by the Delhi Sultanate, after witnessing the more ferocious coalition forces, everyone was in danger and felt that their homes might be plundered again.
But what they didn't expect was that after Lan Yu ordered the labor force, he just took out the captured materials and used food, wine, and some money as rewards.
The customary wanton robbery and even massacre were directly prohibited by Lan Yu with military orders.
During this period, it was natural that some people would take desperate risks, but after Lan Yu personally ordered the execution of some of the people involved, no one in the military dared to do so again.
But Lan Yu's purpose was far more than that. Zhu Yuanzhang had already explained it before the expedition, so after Lan Yu stabilized the morale of the army, the second thing he did was to appease the local people.
In order to express friendship and reassure the people, Lan Yu found out the royal family he had in mind and decided to re-wipe it as his master.
Some military supplies were even distributed to the people so that they could defend themselves and survive.
After a series of operations, Ming Dynasty's reputation in the local area became better and better, and Zhu Yuanzhang became the co-owner of this place.
As for Sapphire, because of his behavior, many people even want to build a living shrine for him and worship him from generation to generation.
Everything on Lan Yu's side is proceeding step by step, but the Delhi Sultanate is on the verge of collapse.
Some people in the royal family have even considered joining the ministers to depose the new king to appease the Ming Dynasty and surrounding countries.
Fortunately, the new king received the news first and prevented a coup from happening.
But even so, he lost his previous vigor and even had the intention to surrender directly to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, if that were the case, he could still keep his wealth for the rest of his life, which would be far more comfortable than being so fearful now.
Just as the new king was weighing and calculating, Lan Yu had already started a new step of action.
After defeating the Delhi Sultan's army again, Lan Yu collected all the trophies and divided them according to the number of troops sent and military merit.
A large amount of wealth was sent back to the Ming Dynasty along with official documents, and Lan Yu's generosity made other countries feel more and more that following the Ming Dynasty was the most correct choice.
After all, the tragic situation of the Delhi Sultan is undoubtedly the best negative example of resistance to the Ming Dynasty.
Delhi Sultanate Palace, Main Hall.
The new king and the newly appointed prime minister looked at each other, and both of them could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"."You don't have any ideas?"
The new king asked with a cold face.
The Prime Minister frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly answered.
"Your Majesty, for this plan, you can only let Ben Tuli take the blame again!"
Hearing the words of the Prime Minister, the new king couldn't help but look strange.
In the previous operation, in order to appease people's hearts, he had ordered that Ben Tuli be imprisoned and his title was temporarily revoked.
What the Prime Minister said now clearly meant that he wanted him to serve as an envoy again to negotiate with Ming Dynasty.
Thinking about Daming's previous attitude and what happened to his brother after returning home, the new king couldn't help but hesitate.
But with powerful enemies around and the national ancestral temple possibly overthrown at any time, this hesitation was quickly replaced by worry.
He looked at the Prime Minister and asked: "Is this possible? Will he go on a mission again? Let's——"
Before he could finish his words, the Prime Minister had already made a promise.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have my own solution!"
