Chapter 209: Puppet Emperor

Late at night, it was dark.

The border between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali is an empty valley, because the soil is not suitable for growing crops, and every time it rains, the river will always overflow the ground, so it is inaccessible.

The dense soldiers quietly touched the foothills, biting the strips of cloth in their mouths to avoid screaming.

The Tusi along the border is not very powerful, this kind of Tusi emperor, his own territory is more important than life, if you send someone to help him guard, it will immediately cause the local Tusi to rebel.

The north of the Great Song Dynasty has been in rebellion, and there are also confidants in the west, and there has never been any intention of going south to take Dali.

Over the past hundred years, Dali has also been accustomed to this kind of comfort, like a comfortable frog soaking in warm water.

Now there is a cook Yang Lin, who has added a fire, to eat this small country that has been established for a longer time than the Great Song Dynasty.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the ancestors of the Bai nationality who lived by the Erhai Lake, "Heman", had "dozens of surnames, with Li, Zhao, Yang, and Dong as famous families".

Now in the Bai family, the biggest forces are the Gao family and the Yang family, and the Duan family, as the emperor of Dali, has no power at all.

The Bai people advocate Han culture, and their high-ranking families often like to have a relationship with the Han celebrities in the previous dynasties.

Bairen Family Style" (Zhang), "Innocent Heirloom" (Yang), "Gongbu Family Voice" (Du) and so on, all of which come from the celebrity legends of the Han nationality, all want to pull their ancestral lineage to the Han people.

The leader who guards this place, whose name is Li Lejin, is nearly sixty years old and in good spirits.

Li Lejin was sleeping soundly, holding a new girl in his arms, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside.

After years of infighting, he got up vigilantly, put on his clothes and went to the village to take a look, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The hidden village in front of the mountain, which relied as a barrier, was broken through without a warning.

There were hundreds of torches lit up and down, and Li Lejin didn't know why, so he had to order the drums to be beaten to gather the warriors in the clan.

As soon as the white soldiers arrived, they suddenly saw the ghost fire buildings below, lit up with the torches they had just drunk and turned into ten, ten into hundreds, and quickly turned into a sky full of stars, illuminating the jungle like day.

Quietly, 100,000 people had already been killed in front of him, which was beyond the scope of Li Lejin's thinking ability, and he stood in place stunned and didn't know how to give the order.

Several brave warriors, roaring, rushed forward, and were instantly shot into a sieve and nailed to the tree.

The torches gradually approached, and finally someone saw the comer clearly and shouted, "It's Song Jun!" ”

The Song people below shouted loudly: "The Great Song Dynasty should be asked for help by the Dali Emperor Duan, enter Dali to quell the rebellion, and those who block will die!" ”

Li Lejin finally woke up in his mind, and it turned out that the emperor had invited reinforcements to deal with the surname Gao.

Dali continued to fight among the Gao and Yang families, and the surname Gao became the emperor, and the surname Yang was unwilling, so it was cheaper for Emperor Duan to re-ascend the throne.

They came to fight on their own, and our little clan joined in the fun, so it was better to vote early.

No matter who wins, it doesn't depend on our support.

Li Lejin thrust the knife into the ground and said, "Emperor Duan invited the Song people to beat Emperor Gao, what does it have to do with our surname Li, open the gate of the village and let the Song army go." ”

The gate of the village slowly opened, and Song Jiang looked overjoyed and waved his army in.

The army swept through the border like a torrent, and all the men who could fight were gathered and imprisoned.

Li Lejin knew that he had been fooled, but there was no way, and the current gap was like an adult beating a baby.

Is Dali's army weak? They were not weak at all, they fought so much that Tubo lost their armor, and the country continued to grow in size for a hundred years, and they never lost an inch. When the country was founded, there were 36 villages in Baiyi, each more fierce than the other.

But their elite soldiers are concentrated in the capital Yangcheng and the cities of several big lords.

Song Jiang entered the village and looked at the center of the field, Li Lejin's whole family was arrested.

"Which is the lord?"

A soldier pointed at Li Lejin and said, "General Hui, it's this black guy." ”

Song Jiang glared at him, and Xiao Bing realized that although Li Lejin was black, he was whiter than his own general.

Song Jiang stepped forward with a smile, helped up Li Lejin, who was coldly opposed, and said: "Leader Li, the military situation is urgent, and the matter is urgent, so I can only wronged you first." Come, bring Lord Li's family to the rear army and guard it with the army. ”

Li Lejin said angrily: "Do you want to declare war on Dali? ”

"We just came to help him quell the chaos at the request of Emperor Dali, and it was your princess who personally went to Bianliang to ask for help. Alas, Dali and the Song Dynasty are not only brothers, but also vassals, and the Dali Emperor is subject to traitors, and our Song Dynasty can't help it. ”

Song Jiang stands on the high post in the wall, overlooking the Dali scenery under the valley, and the night is attractive. The firelight on the side of the road is like a fire dragon, reflecting the terrain and the general green of the foothills.

From tonight, the Great Song Dynasty officially began to use troops against Dali, under the banner of Dali Emperor Duan Zhengchun sending the princess for help.

Along the way, there are many Dali departments with ambiguous attitudes and few who swear to resist to the death.

In addition, as long as they did not resist and did not hear of the Song army killing people, more and more tribes chose to wait and see, unwilling to get involved in the battle between the emperor and the Gao family.

Song Jiang led his troops all the way forward, passing through the walled tribes, arranging troops, and if there was divine help, the enemy situation everywhere was well understood.

Even the famous generals of the ancients did not have this ability, and the Dali tribes gradually realized that something was wrong...

---

The capital of Dali, the city of Yang Tho.

Gao Taiming was furious and led his troops to the Dali Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids along the way were so frightened that they knelt on both sides of the road and did not dare to look up.

Gao Taiming rushed into the palace, and it happened that Duan Zhengchun was also so frightened that he was sick in bed, and he was trembling when he came in, struggling to get up.

Gao Taiming is the leader of the barbarians, the actual ruler of the Dali Kingdom, the so-called "barbarians", not refers to the fixed Fan tribe, but the general name of the southwestern tribes.

Twelve years ago, Gao Taiming was ordered by his father to cancel the "Great China", and the emperor was located in Duan Zhengchun, leading the country, and the government decrees were all out of his door, and the people of Dali were called "Gao Guozhu".

In fact, all the clans in the southwest obeyed his orders, and Duan Zhengchun was just a puppet.

Duan Zhengchun struggled to get up, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Gao Xiangguo." ”

Gao Taiming stepped forward, snorted coldly, and overturned the Chinese medicine on the bedside, and Duan Zhengchun, who was hot, screamed in pain.

"Your Majesty is so bold that he actually connected with the Song people and sent Duan Miaozhen's cheap maid to attract 100,000 Song troops, is it to kill our Gao family?"

Since all the puppet emperors have lived a little aggrieved, Duan Zhengchun is no exception.

In the bottom of his heart, he scolded his baby daughter a hundred times, even if he asked the Song people to help in the war, he couldn't ask for soldiers like this, didn't he want to kill your father.

Duan Zhengchun smiled bitterly: "Xiangguo should not fall for the treacherous tricks of the Song people, this must be the treacherous tricks of the Song Dynasty to covet our Dali's territory." ”
