This time, Zhu Yunxi ordered Fu Youde to lead the troops in Canyuan, but it aroused Lan Yu's dissatisfaction. He was so bold that he actually came to Zhu Yunxi for a big fight. However, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to deal with him, so he could only complain to Li Jie. At the end of his talk, tears were almost out of his way.

"Brother-in-law, do you think Duke Liang is too distorted? I have explained it to him clearly. He also needs to be in charge of the capital, but he just couldn't listen and even started arguing with me. No wonder Grandpa the emperor always called him arrogant and domineering!" Zhu Yunxi finally slapped the table angrily.

"Your Majesty calm down. You also know General Lan's temper. At that time, no one except Emperor Taizu had any help from him, but General Lan's loyalty to the court was still fine!" Li Jie could only persuade him at this time. After all, he didn't want to make Zhu Yunsheng and Lan Yu fall in love because of this incident.

"I naturally would not doubt Duke Liang's loyalty, but he was too bold. He didn't even take me as an emperor seriously. He was simply bold!" Zhu Yunxiu said again with anger.

"How about this, I'll talk to General Lan and advise him to calm his temper so that he will be good to everyone in the future." Li Jie thought for a while and said again. Lan Yu's arrogant and domineering temper should indeed be restrained, otherwise Zhu Yunyu would definitely not be able to tolerate him in the future, and maybe he would still end up like in history.

Li Jie's views on Lan Yu are also very complicated. From his personality, he does not like Lan Yu, especially his arrogant and domineering nature, which is indeed annoying. However, Lan Yu does have the capital to be arrogant. If the generals in the army are concerned about military achievements, no one can compare with him except the dead Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

Of course, Lan Yu also has a good side. For example, when Li Shanchang died unjustly, others avoided it, but Lan Yu dared to burn incense to Li Shanchang himself. In addition, Zhu Yunsheng ascended the throne before, thanks to Lan Yu. Now Zhu Yunsheng has just ascended the throne, so he really needs Lan Yu to stay in the capital and help him stabilize the morale of the army.

The most important thing is that Lan Yu did make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so from a public opinion, Li Jie did not want to see Lan Yu die. Moreover, Lan Yu is Zhu Yuning's uncle, and the two families often go around. For example, Lan Yu's granddaughter-in-law is one of Zhu Yuning's friends. He often goes to Li Jie's house to play a few cards with Zhu Yuning.

Zhu Yunyu was just angry and didn't plan to really deal with Lan Yu. Now that he heard Li Jie say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll be your brother-in-law, but you are busy with your father's funeral, so Lan Yu's affairs are not in a hurry. It's not too late to find him when you have time."

"I understand!" Li Jie nodded immediately, and then the two of them talked about government affairs again, and then he said goodbye and left.

In the next period of time, Li Jie also focused all his energy on Zhu Biao's funeral, especially the construction of the imperial tomb, which consumed a lot of his time and energy, that is, to ensure the progress of the project and the quality of the building. Sometimes when the project encounters problems, he also needs to worry about it.

However, no matter what, the construction of the imperial tomb was still very smooth, and Zhu Biao's funeral was also prepared in an orderly manner. On the day Zhu Biao was buried, Fu Youde, who was far away in Taiyuan, finally sent troops to the north to attack the grassland.

Fu Youde's troops were divided into three groups and advanced in unison into the grassland, but he did not advance rashly, but instead made steady progress. Every further step was to give priority to the elimination of opposition forces on the grassland.

The people of the grassland were not a solid piece. In fact, after Lao Zhu defeated the Mongolian Yuan and entered the grassland to clear it out several times, the people who dared to resist were slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty. The remaining timids naturally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these grassland people have no faith at all. They often surrender to the Ming Dynasty today and may rebel tomorrow. Especially after the power of Canyuan developed again, some tribes that originally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty became shaken again, and they were also slanderous to the Ming Dynasty's orders.

However, this time Fu Youde led his army to the grassland again. The fence-bearing grass who had defected to the Ming Dynasty before naturally began to show his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, strength is the most respected on the grassland, and they will follow whoever is stronger.

Of course, Fu Youde did not take advantage of these fence-bearers, but instead organized them into a first army and ordered them to clear out other tribes. First, they let them consume each other's strength, and second, they also stimulate their conflicts with other tribes. Even if the army withdraws in the future, these tribes will have to rely more on the Ming Dynasty in order to survive on the grassland.

It has to be said that Fu Youde was indeed very good at fighting. Three armies swept across the board and cleared the forces that Can Yuan had finally developed. In the end, Can Yuan had to restrain his remnants and migrate to the north of the Mobei.

This is also the old way for the grassland people to deal with the Central Plains army's clearance. After all, if they can't beat them, they will hide in the northern Mobei, which has a worse climate. If the Central Plains army wants to chase them, they have to face the harsh conditions in the northern Mobei, and may even be ambushed by the grassland people who are familiar with the terrain and climate. Xu Da's first Northern Expedition failed because he was not familiar with the terrain and climate.

If Can Yuan retreated into Mobei, if Lan Yu led his troops, he would definitely not give up on chasing him. After all, he had killed the sea of ​​fishing to destroy the royal court of the Mongol Yuan, so Mobei was naturally no problem.

However, Fu Youde was very cautious. He did not forget the purpose of sending troops this time, nor did he forget Zhu Yun's previous instructions to him, so Fu Youde did not lead the army to pursue him, but began to consolidate the results of the battle.

Can Yuan fled into the northern part of the Mo, but did not take everyone away. Some tribes either didn’t have time to run away or were blocked from news. After all, the grassland is so big, and the connection between the grassland people is very loose, so there are many of these grassland tribes that didn’t have time to escape.

For these tribes, Fu Youde directly led his troops to threaten them, and those who dared to resist were directly wiped out, while those who surrendered were taken to the border of the Ming Dynasty to resettle. This is also a common method for dealing with grassland tribes in the Central Plains.

In fact, the grassland people have no concept of ethnicity at all. Many people are even Han people. They moved to the grassland for various reasons and gradually became grassland people. When they arrived at the border of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they lived with peace of mind, they might become Han people again after several generations.
