Chapter 140: Borrowing Soldiers

"Prince Duan, let's not go around the bend and talk about some serious things." Compared with ten years ago, Changsun Hong's face was a little more calm and a little less childish, and his brilliant eyes looked as bright as Tong Suo at first glance, but when he became serious, the momentum of not being angry and self-righteous could erupt from his pupils, threatening everyone who looked at him.

So when he said this, Duan Xiangxing, who looked up at him, shivered slightly.

Not long ago, the owner of these eyes also ordered in cold blood, pit and kill two thousand Dali North Town soldiers, cut off the head on the spear shaft on the battlefield, the stench of wind and sun has been wafting through dozens of miles to the city of Shanyanfu, frightened that the king of Dali Town North who defended the city was stunned and blocked the city gate with a stone.

"Okay...... Mr. Changsun, in fact, the lonely king came over to ask for peace. Duan Xiangxing pondered the words and recalled the bottom line that his father told him before leaving: "Dali and Shimen Fanbu are originally one family, and they were separated for various reasons a hundred years ago. We fight against each other, and no one will gain any good. ”

"What Prince Duan said is that I think so too." The eldest grandson Hongda nodded, and then asked leisurely: "Then my conditions, do you agree?" ”

"This ...... We are willing to pay compensation and compensate for all losses, and the amount is negotiable. Duan Xiangxing frowned and said: "However, the thirty-six barbarian soldiers, Mr. also knows, are not under the control of the Dali Imperial Court, they are basically the mountains that set themselves up as kings, and they do not listen to the announcement, and it is really difficult to bring them under the command of Shimenfan." ”

"Don't worry about this, Shimen Fan has been doing business with them for so long, to put it mildly, the clothes that every chief Tusi wears from the morning to the urinal used to get up at night are all provided by us, and the relationship between us and the 36th Department is very close. I've fought so many battles with your Zhenbei soldiers, has any of them helped you? Not at all! Changsun Hong said with a smile, looking at Duan Xiangxing's expression, he seemed to be very interested: "I only need a name, and I can comply with the rules in legal theory." ”

"But...... Mr. Changsun, the title of the king of the north of Dali Town, only the clan can be rewarded, and you don't even have the bloodline of the Shimen Fan Department, so you are knighted...... It's really hard to convince the public. Duan Xiangxing said in embarrassment, with a sincere face.

Changsun Hong kept smiling, but the coolness in his smile overflowed from every pore: "There are exceptions to everything, isn't the founding king of Dali also a palace general of Nanzhao?" ”

Duan Xiangxing listened, and his whole body was almost excited.

He understood what he meant.

Duan Siping, the founding king of Dali, was originally the envoy of the Nanzhao Tonghai Festival, plotting rebellion, according to Dali's self-reliance, Changsun Hong This is a naked threat, what Duan Siping can do, can't he Changsun Hong do it?

Thinking of the past five years, Shimen Fan has encroached on the land of Dali step by step, and the border bordering the north has moved south for hundreds of miles, and after a while, it will probably arrive outside the city of Dali.

The barbarians of the Shimen Fan Department almost single-handedly defeated nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Dali Town, the group of chaotic barbarians in the past seemed to be reborn as powerful, advancing and retreating to a certain extent, and the banner was distinct, and they would also use the art of war, coupled with sophisticated equipment and ordnance, with their own strong individual soldier ability, basically Dali is incomprehensible.

The one who did all this and trained the illiterate barbarians into a strong army and a powerful country was the young man in front of him.

"...... I'll go back and report to my father." Duan Xiangxing said in a low voice, weak like an eggplant.

"Then I'll wait for good news." Changsun Hong put his hands on the table and looked left and right: "But Prince Duan, what about your prime minister?" ”

"Huh?" Duan Xiangxing's heart skipped a beat.

"I said, 'What about your prime minister?' What about the city that is higher than the city? Changsun Hong looked into his eyes: "Negotiating with the enemy country, the prime minister does not come forward, and the prince comes forward, how can you see how wrong?" Is he too busy to take a break? ”

He leaned closer, with a smile on his face: "Or does he not know at all?" ”

Duan Xiangxing leaned back suddenly, looking at Changsun Hong who leaned over in shock and fear, those sharp eyes, he was at a loss, as if what he was thinking in his heart was all clearly seen by these eyes.

"Xiangguo...... He ......, "Duan Xiangxing was hesitant, and he couldn't say a reasonable reason for a while."

"Don't worry, prince, let me tell you." Eldest Sun Hong leaned back and said slowly: "Gao Yu Chenglong is in Dali City at the moment, you went out of the city to meet me, it was hidden from him, it is not easy to do this, once the slightest rumor leaks out, your position as the prince will not be secure." With the power of the Gao family, your father can't protect you, and he will definitely throw you out as a scapegoat in order to protect himself. ”

"But you came anyway, at great risk." Changsun Hong continued: "Why is this? I think about it, it must not be to make peace with me, talk about this kind of thing, it is above board, there is nothing to hide it, anyway, Dali has been losing the battle. ”

He stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead, as if he was really thinking, but in the eyes of others, it was more like acting: "Thinking about it this way, there is no other possibility than to talk to me about things such as killing Gao Yuchenglong and taking back the rights that should belong to the Duan family." ”

"King Zhenbei can give it to me, but I have to use it as a bargaining chip." The eldest grandson Hong looked at Duan Xiangxing while scratching his head, revealing a mysterious smile: "As long as I can level the Gao family in one fell swoop, let alone the king of Zhenbei, the king of the king can be side by side, right?" His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Duan Xiangxing was suddenly anxious, and blurted out: "It's too much for the king to be side by side!" Absolutely unacceptable......"

His mouth opened and closed, and he gradually lost his voice, and looked at Changsun Hong.

The eldest grandson Hong is there, drinking tea without saying a word.

Duan Xiangxing smiled bitterly, sat up straight, shook his head and sighed: "It is said that Mr. Changsun knows everything first, and he has the ability to be unpredictable. The lonely king didn't believe it at first, but when he saw it today, it was really different from ordinary people! ”

"I'll just think you're complimenting me." Eldest Sun Hong blinked.

"Mingren doesn't say secret words in front of him, since Mr. Changsun knows everything, there must be eyeliner in Dali Palace, but I don't know how much Mr. Changsun has learned?" Duan Xiangxing said. He has given up on negotiating with Changsun Hong.

Changsun Hong remained silent and maintained a posture of sitting upright: "Everything you should know, you know." ”

Duan Xiangxing glanced at him twice, he didn't care about Changsun Hong's sloppy eyes, his expression was solemn, and he was sitting with a dangerous face, and the majesty of the prince of a country was revealed.

"Sir is right, the Lone King took the risk to come over, and peace is just a pretense, just send an envoy for such things." Duan Xiangxing gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "What my father and I value are Mr. Master's wisdom and Shimenfan's strong military strength. With Mr.'s strength, the Gao family is just dry bones in the grave! As long as Mr. is willing to take action to clean up the kingless and fatherless Gao Yuchenglong, the father can immediately issue a decree to crown Mr. as the king of Dali Town! ”
