The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 487 The Ming soldiers will surely come to the rescue, no matter how far away they are.
This time, he was determined. If he didn't capture Lan Yu and bring him to justice, their prestige would be completely destroyed, and they would be even more powerless when facing the Ming army.

Just then, someone stepped forward and spoke.

"Father, our Delhi Sultanate has suffered such a great humiliation and so many of our relatives have been captured. Your son is willing to personally lead the army to bring Lan Yu back!"

This prince, named Dorbu Achiri, was a prince in the Delhi Sultanate who was not particularly favored.

They are usually marginalized and hardly anyone cares about them.

Lan Yu stormed into the capital of the Delhi Sultanate and arrested many people, including his two elder brothers who were vying for the throne. Both of them were the most suitable candidates to inherit the position, but who would have thought that both of them would be arrested?

Now that the two biggest obstacles in his path have been removed, this is a very good thing for him, so he did not hesitate to start winning over various officials.

When he learned that Lan Yu had not left, but had only led a troop to retreat, and that the disparity in troop strength between the two sides was now enormous, he was extremely excited. With such a large disparity in troop strength, how could they possibly lose?

I'm sure I'll win this time; that would be an incredible windfall.

Once he could capture Lan Yu, he could not only wash away the shame on them, but his own status would also rise. Only after thinking of this did he dare to take action.

The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate was extremely pleased to hear this, realizing that his son was indeed capable.

"Alright, since this matter is in your hands, you must capture Lan Yu no matter what!"

The news was quickly relayed to Yingtian Prefecture via express courier service, and fortunately, the Ming Dynasty had been repairing various roads over the years.

Without these roads, the 800-li express courier service wouldn't have been able to reach its destination so quickly. In the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Lan Yu had won such a great victory and nodded in satisfaction.

"What a remarkable achievement Lan Yu has made! This time, he has severely weakened the Delhi Sultanate and, more importantly, made them lose face!"

"It's estimated that the Delhi Sultanate will be somewhat outmatched when facing attacks from the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

The ministers in the court were all very surprised, after all, Lan Yu's fighting style was truly extraordinary.

The key issue is that Lan Yu was incredibly audacious; with such a small army, he dared to launch a counterattack on the capital of the Delhi Sultanate.

As expected, Lan Yu is a menace. Nothing good happens when he's around. This was true when they were in Yingtian Prefecture, and it's still true now that he's been sent to the border region.

Some people, however, were very happy.

This time, Lan Yu has thoroughly angered the people of the Delhi Sultanate.

The Delhi Sultanate has now deployed all the troops it can muster.

Lan Yu doesn't have many troops at his disposal, and after this division of forces, his strength is even more stretched thin. He's probably doomed this time.

Thinking of this place, many people in the court felt a surge of joy.

Of course, some people are also worried about Lan Yu's current situation.

At this moment, Crown Prince Zhu Biao said anxiously.

"Your Majesty's most urgent task now is to immediately send troops to rescue Duke Liang. No matter what, Duke Liang, Lan Yu, is an invaluable talent for our Great Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he has made many contributions in this battle. Only by rescuing him can we succeed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this, agreeing that it was indeed true.

Suddenly, an official stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs further discussion. Although the Duke of Liang is indeed facing some trouble, it is simply too far from our territory!"

"We didn't have many troops left in the Ü-Tsang Provincial Administration Office to begin with!" "He took a lot of them with him this time. If we transfer troops from other places, it will probably take a long time!"

Everyone frowned upon hearing this, and indeed it was true, whether troops were being transferred from Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, or Guangxi, or from Shaanxi and Gansu.

All of this will require a lot of time. Preparing supplies, equipment, and other necessities will also take time. They can afford to wait, but Lan Yu may not be able to.

Behind enemy lines, who can say for sure how long Lan Yu can hold out?

Those military officers who had a good relationship with Lan Yu were extremely angry when they heard this.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you want to save the Duke of Liang? I'm telling you, it's all in the heads of you civil officials."

All they think about is how to harm others!

"No matter what, the Duke of Liang has rendered such meritorious service to the country, how can you do this!"

Upon hearing this accusation, the crowd felt somewhat dissatisfied. Then, someone stepped forward and spoke up.

We also want to rescue Duke Liang, but we are simply powerless to do so. Our forces in the southwest are too few, and we simply do not have the strength to do so.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. He felt extremely troubled at this point. Just then, a voice rang out in the court.

"The Duke of Liang has rendered such meritorious service to the country in the war; this man must be saved, and we must save him urgently!"

"No matter what, we must not let our heroes feel disheartened!"

Everyone looked towards the doorway and saw that the speaker was Zhu Xiong Ying. When they saw Zhu Xiong Ying enter the court, everyone frowned, but no one dared to say anything.

Since Zhu Xiong Ying left the court, his power has made it impossible for anyone to say anything more. Moreover, Zhu Xiong Ying's methods are not much different from those of the Crown Prince and His Majesty.

The official frowned upon hearing this and said...

"Your Highness, we do indeed want to save you, but the problem is that we are helpless in the current situation. After all, the mountains there are high and the roads are far, and we do not have enough troops to go there!"

Zhu Xiong Ying stared at these officials and snorted coldly.

There was a saying during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han!

"Those who dare to offend the might of our Great Han will be punished, no matter how far away they are; and all the people of our Great Han will be rescued, no matter how far away they are!"

"If this is the case for ordinary people, how much more so for those who have rendered meritorious service to the country? No matter the cost, we must save them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, while Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"U.A., do you have any ideas? Tell me quickly, what's your plan?"

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded, then, holding a memorial in his hand, said...

"This memorial is a message that Mu Ying and Wang Bi sent not long ago. The Khmer Empire has now been destroyed by us!"

"Moreover, the emperor of the Khmer Empire wanted to escape from this place, but was ambushed and killed by Wang Bi on his way!"
