At this moment!
Lan Yu had completely suppressed the resentment in his heart, even asking with a trace of lingering hope.
If they had merely breached the Northern Yuan Royal Court, it might have counted as a victory in the Northern Expedition. But if even the Yuan Emperor had fallen into Zhu Ying's hands, then the merits of this Northern Expedition would be conclusively decided.
Zhu Ying had completely claimed the credit for this Northern Expedition.
From the very first battle of the expedition, he had breached a city, slain the Northern Yuan Great General and Grand Commandant, and captured the Yuan Capital.
Taken together, those military achievements were truly beyond measure.
And if the merit of capturing the Yuan Emperor were added to them, it would be even more unimaginable.
"Thank you for your concern, Marquis of Yongchang."
"Our Marquis of Victory displayed divine might, crushing three hundred thousand Yuan Army soldiers at Mount Langju. He then pursued them all the way to Buyir Lake, breached the Northern Yuan's temporary Royal Court, and captured the Yuan Emperor and the Northern Yuan officials alive."
"This time, we return in triumph after a great victory." Liu Lei spoke with immense pride, his voice exceptionally loud.
Upon hearing this,
Lan Yu's last shred of hope vanished, and his expression darkened.
Liu Lei sneered inwardly when he saw this.
Which of the generals under Zhu Ying did not know that the Huai West generals, led by Lan Yu, had always relentlessly targeted their general? Though they were all Ming Dynasty commanders, their relationship was abysmal.
The reason Liu Lei had deliberately spoken so loudly was naturally intentional.
Being able to anger Lan Yu this much was a form of revenge for his general.
"Chang Mao."
Lan Yu spoke in a low voice.
"General."
