Duan Zhong touched his chin, raised his head and looked at the moonlight in the sky, time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is about to enter winter, and the army of the Northern Liang has entered the hinterland of the Southern Liang, but there is no concern about the freezing of the river, and the battle can continue, so the battle will continue, of course, the only trouble that the Northern Liang encounters is that when the weather is cold, the supplies of the Northern Liang cannot be transported through the Yangtze River, so this moment is the most critical period for the Beiliang soldiers to settle food, If Southern Liang has the courage and strength to strike a blow at Northern Liang, there may be a lot of turnarounds, but in any case, Duan Chong is just a spectator at the moment, and he doesn't have the strength to drive the Northern Liang's army out of the territory of Southern Liang, but in fact, the current situation is exactly the situation that Duan Chong once imagined in the chaos of the world.

Whether to send troops to help Xiao Beiping, this is not something that Duan Chong can decide alone, after all, the military power of Dali is in the hands of his brother Duan Zhuang, and Dali's troops are not much, these days, Duan Zhuang asked for 20,000 soldiers and horses from his Lao Tzu Zhengkang, and there are a total of 50,000 military horses when they are merged. Why would Emperor Zheng Kang support Duan Zhuang's extremely aggressive move so much, after all, Duan Zhuang's appetite is too big now, and in Duan Chong's view, Dali does not have the strength to annex the world at present.

However, there are some things that Duan Chong can not decide, and Duan Chong is also a lazy person, and he doesn't want to care about so many things, although Duan Chong has a desire for power, but he has never thought about really looking down on the world, Duan Chong also has the ambition to chase the Central Plains, but he doesn't want to be the emperor, which is also where Duan Chong feels very contradictory, but in any case, Duan Chong just wants to participate in these various forces, and then live his own small life comfortably, that's all.

Duan Chong squinted his eyes, tonight's night is really good, and Duan Chong's mood is also good, from a certain point of view, this Civil War is a family matter of Daliang, Duan Chong has already given Xiao Bei enough face and help, there is every reason not to help, and even if Duan Chong asks Duan Zhuang for soldiers, Duan Zhuang will not necessarily give it? With the two thousand "poisonous daggers" under Duan Chong's hands, he couldn't do anything, so Duan Chong didn't bother to think about anything? directly sat in the courtyard leisurely and enjoyed the night view, but Princess Suo Yali slowly walked to Duan Chong's side, still holding Xiao Duan Xuan in her arms.

Duan Zhong took Duan Xuan from Princess Suoyali's arms, hugged him in his arms and teased him twice, and then heard Princess Suoyali speak: "You know about my father's letter!" ”

Duan nodded and said, "Well, you know, what did the letter say?" "This Princess Suoyali was abducted from the grassland by Duan Chong, and after leaving the grassland, Princess Suoyali was afraid of Uwei Shan Yu on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Duan Chong's news would spread from the grassland, so she wrote to Uwei Shan Yu to inform her, and this time, it was U Wei Shan Yu's reply.

Princess Soyali pondered for a moment, and finally spoke, "Father said that he would ...... Peel your skin! Duan Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If the old man wants to pick it up, then pick it up!" Princess Soyali smiled, shook her head, and continued: "What my father said is angry, and there are many important things in the letter! ”

Duan Zhong was stunned: "What's the matter!" Princess Soyali shook her head: "See for yourself!" I can't tell! After that, he took out a letter from his arms and stuffed it into Duan Chong's hand, Duan Zhong unfolded the letter, but after reading the content of the letter, his face became more and more solemn.

It turned out that the reason why the Xiongnu army was reluctant to advance was not because of a trade agreement signed with the Northern Liang, Uwei Shan Yu was not stupid, and waited until Liang Wu Emperor Xiao and the Southern Liang of the Qing Dynasty, and after the unification of the Central Plains, then the next unlucky one was the Xiongnu, so Uwei Shan Yu had already been a strong soldier, and he was ready to fish in troubled waters after the start of the Northern War, but he was given by one person...... is restricted, this person is none other than the great master of the pseudo-martial arts of the Liang State who almost killed Duan Chong, Xiao Ran, and Duan Chong also knows that this Xiongnu does not have the existence of a grandmaster-level master, so with Xiao Ran's strength, it is enough to deter the entire Xiongnu army, as long as Xiao Ran goes there, it is reasonable for the Xiongnu Uwei Shan not to dare to send troops, for Xiao Ran's actions, Duan Zhong is understandable, after all, this civil war is a family affair within the Liang State itself, Xiao Ran will not interfere and cannot interfere, But this Hun wants to fish in troubled waters during this war, then Xiao Ran can't ignore it, of course, for the great master, he has his own dignity and will not act easily, so he just warns Uwei Shan Yu, but even if it is just a warning, it is enough to make U Wei Shan Yu feel frightened and panicked, and this is the real reason why the Huns are reluctant to send troops.

And in Uwei Shan Yu's letter, he also mentioned a thing that Duan Zhong was extremely concerned about, that is, the movement of Xiao Li's 20,000 soldiers and horses lurking in the territory of Northern Liang, here, there is also a layer of news that Duan Zhong does not know, that is, Xiao Li does not know how to get on the line with the forces of the Xiongnu and cooperate secretly, so this Uwei Shan Yu will have news of Xiao Li, and the army of the Xiongnu is contained, and there are not no forces in the Northern Liang Kingdom that can compete with Xiao Li, except for Xiao Zhengrong, the prince of Northern Liang, who led the army to garrison the land of Gyeonggi, Duan Zhong has always ignored an extremely terrifying force in Beiliang, that is the world's first bustard Wang Haitang Wang Queen, the behind-the-scenes boss of "Manchun Garden", the strength of the mother of the Northern Liang Kingdom is definitely not to be underestimated, the masters under him are like clouds, Xiao Li has no matter how high his cultivation is, after all, he has not broken through to the realm of the grandmaster level, it is difficult to support it alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the master group under the queen Wang Haitang, and it is reasonable to be contained.

There is Xiao Ran outside to deter the enemy, and Wang Haitang and Queen Wang are in charge of the overall situation, no wonder Emperor Xiao He of Liang Wu can start a war so fearlessly.

And at the moment, Duan Chong cares about one person very much, that is Xiao Li, obviously, Duan Chong is a person who holds a lot of grudges, if Duan Chong does not report this murderous revenge, then it is really not Duan Chong's character, but in the current world, Duan Chong really doesn't have the strength to beat Xiao Ran, and he can't beat Zongzi, but he has to fight if he can't beat it! Isn't life just to fight for a breath, you can't beat it with your fists, Duan Zhong still has a brain! The sword can't be beaten, Duan Zhong still has gunpowder! I'm afraid that he is a bird, so after reading this letter, Duan Chong resolutely wants to go north to find Xiao Li's bad luck, as for the war between the north and the south, Duan Chong is too lazy to care, what do you like!

Of course, before leaving, Duan Chong still has a lot of things to solve, and now Duan Chong is most worried about his brother Duan Zhuang, now is the moment when Duan Zhuang's ambition is the most inflated, and his own Lao Tzu Zheng Kangdi actually supports Duan Zhuang's move, Dali only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it is undoubtedly a very stupid move to intervene between the North Liang and the South Liang, at least in Duan Chong's eyes, it is a very stupid move now, and the reason why Duan Zhuang's ambition will swell so fast, The reason is because Duan Zhong put the two treasures of Tie Dan and Cui Rixing here in Duan Zhuang, and the explosives and cannons gave Duan Zhuang all the good hopes.

Duan Chong doesn't know how many cannons Duan Zhuang's subordinates have prepared, maybe there are five hundred, a salvo will be able to completely collapse the city wall of Nanjing City, if there are more cannonballs, I am afraid that the entire Nanjing City will be able to raze to the ground, so the most urgent thing for Duan Chong at the moment is to bring back the two treasures of Tie Dan and Cui Rixing, as for the cannons and explosives that are already available now, Duan Zhong can only say that there is nothing he can do.

So Duan Zhong stood up, patted Princess Soyali on the shoulder and said, "I'll go find my brother!" After that, he handed over Xiao Duan Xuan to Princess Suo Yali, and he went out of the courtyard and walked all the way to the door of Duan Zhuang's room, the night was a little late, but the light in Duan Zhuang's room was still on, Duan Chong didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door directly and walked in, and Duan Zhuang obviously noticed Duan Chong's arrival, but he was still lying on the table.

Duan Chong took a breath and walked to Duan Zhuang's side, but found that Duan Zhuang was studying a map, which had been circled by Duan Zhuang many circles, as well as many annotations and annotations, Duan Chong squinted his eyes, and naturally knew that this was the territory map of Southern Liang, and the place circled was the important town where the heavy troops of Southern Liang were stationed and the location of the troops of Northern Liang, it seemed that this section of Zhuang was already a little impatient.

Duan Zhong sighed and asked softly, "You want to send troops!" ”

Duan Zhuang said "um" softly, still without too many words, Duan Chong shook his head helplessly, knowing that once his brother made up his mind, he would never turn back, so Duan Chong opened his mouth and said, "I want you to pay me back!" ”

"Who!"

"Tie Dan and Cui Rixing!"

Duan Zhuang's brows furrowed obviously: "Lend me another year!" ”

"No way!" Duan Zhong shook his head, I want it now.

Duan Zhuang's brows furrowed even more: "In my place, the role of the two of them will be maximized, I have all the resources needed, and I also have the best forging equipment here, what do you want to do with them?" ”

Duan Zhong shook his head, but avoided Duan Zhuang's question, and said directly: "Don't forget, they are always ...... My people! ”

Duan Zhuang raised his head and looked at Duan Chong, his eyes had already narrowed, and after a long time, he finally sighed helplessly: "Half a year!" ”

Duan Zhong still shook his head.

"Three months, the bottom limit!"

Duan Zhong finally nodded: "Okay! ”
