Puling City was defeated, and Zhao Chang led the remnants of the army to fight for their lives.

fled into Gaotang Prefecture in a panic, but was rejected by the third brother Zhao Xing, who forbade him to set foot in Gaotang Prefecture and did not allow him to go to Jiangzhou.

The strong enemy in the north is coming, the Qin army is eyeing it, and in the south, Zhao Chang has a home and can't go back.

Like a lost dog, there is no place for him to stand in half an inch in the territory of Nuoda.

The situation is urgent, and there can be no delay.

Zhao Chang took Dai Yangshuo's suggestion and came to Dragon City with a congratulatory gift.

He is Zhao Tuo's eldest son, who inherited his father's business and came to congratulate him on behalf of Jingxiang Sizhou. Second, he asked Da Qian for help, hoping that when he was in danger, Da Qian would help him regain military power, expel the thieves, and recover the lost territory.

After the long journey to Dragon City, after settling in the post station, Zhao Chang had no time to rest and had no mind to leave Dragon City.

Carrying jewelry, gold and silver, he went non-stop to visit the mansion of the three princes of Daqian, Li Yi, the king of Lingnan.

As far as he knew, the Daqian court has so far ordained the crown prince.

Among the princes, Li Yi, the third prince who has been leading the army to garrison southern Xinjiang all the year round, is brave and good at fighting, and has the support of many generals, and may inherit the throne of Daqian in the future.

The key Lingnan King has written openly many times, suggesting that the imperial court change its strategy of recuperating and recuperating.

Actively expand the army, reorganize the armament, take advantage of the decline of the great well-being, and when the countries are weak, actively expand to the outside world, and eradicate any vassal states that pose a threat to the great cadres.

Even if Zhao Chang's current identity is present, he may not be qualified to meet the King of Lingnan.

However, the situation forced Zhao Chang to visit with a try-and-see attitude, perhaps what the king of Lingnan wanted coincided with him, and he was willing to lobby the court to help him regain military power, regain control of Gaotang Prefecture and Jiangzhou, and use troops to Qin State.

Li Yao, the emperor of the Great Qian, had nine sons and seven daughters.

The eldest son, King Jiujiang, the third son, King Lingnan, and the ninth son King Hailing, are all outstanding and heroic.

The king of Lingnan was brave and fierce, skilled in bows and horses, and had a vast fief, and was allowed by the imperial court to take charge of 20,000 dragoons, and was the only prince in charge of the army among the kings.

The king of Jiujiang is eloquent and strategic, proficient in the way of governing the country, and is often recalled to Longcheng by his father from his fiefdom to ask about politics and consider in private, which makes the princes envious.

King Hailing was not yet in the age of the weak crown, but he was full of wealth, famous all over the world, won the reputation of the Mo Shangren such as jade, the son of the world, the deep father's love, the fief on the coast of the East China Sea, rich, prosperous, but only by his father allowed to live in Dragon City all the year round.

Other princes, even though their qualifications are mediocre, are born in the royal family and are still prosperous and wealthy.

On weekdays, stay in the fiefdom and guard one side, and can't come to Dragon City.

Recently, the emperor had a big birthday, and they were allowed to come to Dragon City to celebrate his birthday.

Zhao Chang arrived at the Lingnan Palace, sent a name card to the guards, was ushered into the hall to sit, and the official family went to report.

Li Yi came to Longcheng from the fiefdom, and had not yet entered the palace to visit his father and mother, and was discussing with the staff in the study how to celebrate his birthday and win the first place at the birthday banquet.

The prince of the East Palace has not been decided, and the King of Lingnan has coveted the East Palace for a long time.

The housekeeper came to report and learned that Zhao Chang had come to visit, and Li Yi looked stunned.

Daqian, Dakang, and the royal family intermarried for generations.

Any princess who marries Da Qian, if she is not the queen, she is the only queen's concubine, and vice versa.

At present, Daqian's concubine, her mother, is from the Dakang royal family. The previous generation of Dakang Empress also came from Daqian.

Speaking of which, he and Emperor Dakang Zhao Chen are cousins of each other.

However, the Daqian Zongzheng Temple strictly ordered the prince to interact with the Dakang royal family, and also prohibited the communication with the generals of Dakang.

Li Yi has always advocated active outward expansion, understanding the danger of Dakang's current situation, and being forced by strict rules to dare not associate with the Dakang royal family.

Zhao Chang came to visit suddenly, and he didn't know what Zhao Chang meant.

While wandering, Li Yi raised his head and asked several staff: "Before entering the city, this king accidentally learned that Zhao Tuo, Zhao Chang and his son fought against the king of Qin, is it related to this?" ”

Dragon City is thousands of miles away from the land of Jingxiang.

Even the most dedicated messenger, day and night, sent the news back to Dragon City non-stop, only reporting what happened half a month ago.

Li Yi's fiefdom was in Lingnan, which was farther away from Dakang.

Before arriving in Longcheng, Li Yi only knew that the Qin soldiers had broken into Dakang and used troops against Zhao Tuo in the west, and he still did not know the outcome of victory or defeat.

I can't help but be suspicious.

"Your Highness, Zhao Chang is here, and nine times out of ten it is related to the Jingxiang War. A certain learned in Longcheng that in the past few months, the king of Qin has successively used troops to the south to seize Yuan Ci's territory, and coveted the four states ruled by Zhao Tuo.

According to the merchants who came to Dragon City from the west, the Qin army was besieging Pulin City, where Zhao Tuo was located.

Seventy or eighty thousand elite cavalry were about to become a foreign cavalry, and Zhao Chang came mostly to ask for help. ”

Seventy or eighty thousand fine riders?

Hearing this, Li Yi's slashed face suddenly appeared in surprise. He shouted: "There are so many elite riders, why have I never heard of them before?" ”

Under the influence of Li Yi, the state of Qin was a state in the west, and the kings of Qin worked hard to govern the country, but unfortunately they were often beaten by the elite soldiers of Qi, Chuyan, Han, and Zhao Wei.

A few years ago, the state of Qin was hit hard.

The old king of Qin died of depression, and the new monarch was young, and the eunuchs were in charge.

A small state has long been unfounded.

Now, the king of Qin attacked the small city of Puling and gathered seventy or eighty thousand elite horsemen.

Then, the number of troops invested in Qin's southern expedition must have exceeded his expectations.

"His Royal Highness has been stationed in Lingnan all the year round, monitoring the southern countries, and does not know the war situation in the north. The rise of the Qin State sprung up like spring shoots breaking through the ground, and successively occupied half of the Dakang country, which should not be underestimated. The staff said cautiously: "The Taishou of Danyang Mansion once secretly sent a letter describing the current situation of Dakang and mentioning the Qin State. As the Qin State expanded, the soldiers became stronger and stronger, gradually surpassing Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao, and Wei.

The princes of Dakang, in front of the sharp soldiers of the Qin army, still have no way to help them.

As far as a certain know, the princes of Dakang Longdi and Xiliang, such as Yuan Ci, Ram Yue, Lu Boning and other heroes, generals. In the battle-hardened expedition of the Qin army, they either fell or became prisoners, and the land under their control was attributed to the Qin State. ”

"Yes, the king of Qin waved his army to fight, and the land of Long, Xiliang, occupied, has both fertile land and Dakang recruiting troops. If the Qin army seizes Zhao Tuo's territory, occupies the fertile fields south of the Yangtze River, works hard for a few years, and accumulates a large amount of money, grain, and wealth, it will be a potential threat to the Great Qian.

At present, the imperial court adopts the strategy of recuperation and recuperation, insists on not interfering in the affairs of the vassal states, and insists on not expanding foreign troops.

No one in the Qin State was restrained, which caused the King of Qin to be arrogant and arrogant, and wanted to fight Dakang alone, and replace it, if the King of Qin swallowed Dakang alone, it would cause a catastrophe at any time. The other aides were indignantly reminded that they were very helpless about the court's strategy.

Li Yi's face crossed a fierce color, and he said playfully: "In this way, this king must meet Zhao Chang, and it is time to understand Ji Xuanling as soon as possible." ”
