The guards and maids in the palace prepared the funeral arrangements of the old emperor overnight, and everyone did not sleep all night, and the palace was all arranged in black and white funeral colors.

Early the next morning, Duan Yi led his men into the palace, announced the death of the old emperor, and held a funeral from Jian.

One morning later, the funeral ended, and in the afternoon the old emperor entered the tomb.

At night, he ordered all the guards, palace maids, eunuchs, and miscellaneous servants in the palace to dismantle and burn all the funeral things and replace them with festive ones, and tomorrow he will ascend the throne as emperor.

The next day, the entire palace was decorated with festive colors, and Duan Yi officially ascended the throne.

As soon as he sat on the throne, he announced that he would send an envoy to the surrounding countries.

These were all in Duan Jun's plan, and around Dali there were two large foreign countries, the Great Wei State, the Persian State, and the two small states of Nanyue and Thailand. The Cold Moon Country is also strong, and it is also not territorially intertwined with the Dali State, and the Cold Moon Country is a country that is handed over to the west by the Persian State.

After the envoy went back to clean up, he set off overnight to the neighboring countries to make announcements and win alliances.

This is Duan Yi's chess piece, he wants to tie up several surrounding countries to the side of Dali, as long as the army of the Great Wei State comes to attack Dali City, then he can attack and retreat with these countries. Seeing that Wei Yunxuan is so good, can he deal with so many countries at the same time?

After Duan Yi became the emperor, Murong Mei also lived in the palace, and now Duan Yi can't declare Murong Mei the queen, for fear that women will be unstable when they participate in the politics of Dali.

Murong Mei is not in a hurry to ask for a name, she also takes care of the side of the Great Wei Kingdom, after all, she is the queen of the old emperor Wei Zhaoji of the Great Wei Kingdom, and now she has become the queen of the Great Wei Kingdom, and she obviously can't get along with the Great Wei Kingdom.

Besides, doing so will also make the surrounding small countries worried, fearing that after forming an alliance with Dali, they will offend the Great Wei State.

"Cousin, when things settle down, I will immediately declare you the queen of Dali." Duan Yi made a promise to Murong Mei.

"Cousin, how can we get through this now? The army on the side of the Great Wei State may attack our Dali City in more than half a month. Moreover, now the southern Xinjiang city of our Dali Kingdom is already under the control of Wei Yunxuan. Once an alliance is formed with neighboring countries, it advocates that all countries form a joint army, and when a joint army is formed, it will rely on the joint army to recapture the southern Xinjiang city. Murong Mei began to give opinions again.

"My cousin is right, no, it's the queen who is right! As long as things go according to our plan, no matter how strong the Great Wei State is, it can't help us. Duan Yi slowly reassured, the success or failure of this time depended on whether these envoys sent out could persuade them to form an alliance with the surrounding countries.

In Dali City, troops are also being dispatched to prepare for the attack of the Great Wei State at any time.

In the city of Great Wei, Murong Xue began to train the opposing army to be on the expedition this time, 100,000 troops, and now there are still twenty days of training time, after the training is completed, he will immediately set off for Dali City.

Wu Tong, Hua Zijian, and Bai Zijun are all first-class fierce generals, and now they are all great generals of the Great Wei State. These generals have to obey the command of Murong Xue, and everyone knows that this time Emperor Wei Yunxuan is determined to take Dali City.

Therefore, everyone does not dare to be sloppy.

The army led by Lin Ziming and Lin Zicong was much weaker, and during this time, Han Xuening led a group of female generals of the women's team to help train the army under their two hands. Form a strong combat force as soon as possible.

More than a week has passed, and the troops that have been trained have made great improvements, and their combat effectiveness has increased a lot.

But in Dali City, as the time got closer and closer to a month, Duan Jun and Murong Mei began to worry.

Several of the envoys from Dali to neighboring countries have returned, and South Vietnam and Thailand are very willing to form an alliance. However, the envoys to Persia and the Cold Moon have not returned, and if these two great powers do not negotiate, Dali is likely to be destroyed.

The next night, the envoy from Persia returned. Duan Yi and Murong Mei immediately summoned the envoy and asked about the specific situation.

The envoy said: "The emperor of the Persian state is very cunning, and this alliance of the three armies, the Persian army has suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and their emperor is not very interested in forming another alliance. Later, I promised Dali that every year the Persian kingdom would give a large amount of grain, gold and silver treasures, and beautiful women. Their emperor was reluctant to ally him. ”

Before the envoy departed, Duan Yi gave an order, no matter what conditions were used, he must let the Persian state form an alliance with the Dali state.

This time he was very happy, these conditions are not deductible!

The Persian side has already been settled, and now the Cold Moon Country is left.

The Cold Moon Kingdom was far away from the Dali Kingdom, and the next morning, the envoy sent out also returned.

To Duan Yi's relief, the Cold Moon Kingdom also agreed to form an alliance with the Dali Kingdom. However, the condition they made was that Dali agreed to keep their army in the southern Xinjiang city for a long time.

Duan Yi knew very well in his heart that the ambition of the Cold Moon Kingdom was not small, and this was to swallow the city of their Dali Kingdom.

Murong Mei said, "Cousin, that's fine. As soon as the army of the Cold Moon Kingdom comes, it will also enhance the strength of our Dali Kingdom, and these troops will fight against the Great Wei Kingdom together with us. ”

"Cousin, if we drive away the army of the Great Wei Kingdom, one of our cities is likely to fall into the hands of the Cold Moon Country, and the Cold Moon Country is really a wolf ambition." Duan Yi was very angry in his heart.

Murong Mei smiled and said, "I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf." The Cold Moon Kingdom doesn't know how powerful Murong Xue is, so let them come and be a substitute for us as a dead ghost. Let the army of the Cold Moon Kingdom block the army of the Great Wei State in front. ”

Duan Yi thought about it, yes, these armies in his own country are not enough to fight, besides, when he attacked Nanjiang City that time, he lost fifty or sixty thousand troops, and now it adds up to a total of more than 100,000 troops.

He hurriedly said to the envoy: "You can go back to the Cold Moon Country now, and say that the Dali Kingdom agrees with the Cold Moon Country to deploy troops." Let them come now with a large army to defend together. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, the ministers will go now. ”

After the envoy stepped back, Murong Mei laughed.

"Finally, there is a dead ghost to help us stand in the way, and it is only two days from the Cold Moon Country to the Dali Kingdom. The envoy now found that once he came and went, he could greet a large number of troops of the Cold Moon Country in more than three days. They can't rest here for two days before they will encounter the army of Great Wei City. ”

Murong Mei thought for a while, and then said, "Cousin, hurry up and send an envoy to Persia again, vainly claiming that it is a joint military exercise after the alliance of several countries." Let's just say that many countries have sent elite troops to participate, so that the Persian state will send troops immediately. ”

"Yes, my cousin is right, the Persian soldiers are coming. Joining forces with the Cold Moon Kingdom, I want to see how the army of the Great Wei Kingdom deals with the armies of these two powerful countries? Ha ha! ”

"Not only that, but those small countries in the alliance also immediately invited to participate in the military division exercise. For the sake of face, a small country will definitely send the strongest army. Then these armies will defend us against the attack of the Great Wei State. ”

For Murong Mei's strategy, Duan Yi admired it so much.

"My cousin is really clever, it's a pity not to be a state affair!"

"Haha, my cousin has won the prize!"

"Haha! Hahaha! ”

The two then burst into laughter.
