Gao Yuchenglong hadn't been so nervous in years.

As the minister of Dali, only after the death of his father Gao Ayu and his younger brother competed for the high position of Xiangguo, he had this kind of chilling feeling once, that time his younger brother's people almost succeeded, if it wasn't for his subordinates sacrificing their lives, Gao Yuchenglong was afraid that not only would he not be able to be Xiangguo, but he would also lose his life.

But this time, he felt that he would lose his life.

Looking at the dozen or so generals standing at the bottom of the hall, he was angry.

"Qingjun side, Qingjun side!" Gao Yuchenglong roared, crumpled a piece of paper, and threw it vigorously on the face of a general kneeling below: "You are incompetent!" The eldest grandson Hong has distributed such a rebellious thing everywhere in the city, and you don't even know who did it! ”

The following group of generals lowered their heads and looked at each other, but no one answered, and then continued to bow their heads and said nothing with a tacit understanding.

The kneeling general couldn't help but speak, he was a soldier and horse envoy of the five cities, responsible for the security and defense of Dali City, and he was responsible for this matter.

"This ...... Xiangguo, the last general has already ordered the city to be closed and thoroughly investigated, and the house to door is searched, and I believe that there will be results soon......"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Yuchenglong was already furious, his hands trembled and touched everywhere, and he didn't find a suitable weapon to beat people, so he simply used the pinched Chaoban as a hidden weapon, and smashed it fiercely towards the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

"Thoroughly! Still waiting for you to find out! He shouted angrily, like a lion that had lost his mind: "People have put this thing on my bedside!" Didn't you wait for them to cut off my head before you found out?! Impotent! Rubbish! Eater! ”

Saliva accompanied by the board flew to the face of the Wucheng Terracotta Division, the board is made of jade, expensive and rare, of course, it is also extremely heavy, smashed on the head, and immediately saw blood.

"Hey, Xiangguo doesn't need to be anxious, although this matter is bad, isn't Xiangguo also safe? I think that this matter is not necessarily a bad thing, which shows that there are people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who are in collusion with the Shimen Fan Department outside, so I quickly clean it up and comb it to prevent future troubles, which is the most important thing. ”

Duan Zhixiang, the lord of Dali, sat on the top of the hall and said with concern, his tone could not be heard good or bad, peaceful and stable.

Gao Yuchenglong glanced at him with annoyance, and said in his heart, of course you don't think so, that barbarian son of Shimen Fan Changsun Hong is playing the name of the Qingjun side, what is the Qingjun side? It is to clean up the villains around the emperor, and it will not kill the emperor.

Duan Zhixiang waved his hand and said to the bloody and frightened soldiers and horses of the Five Cities: "What are you still doing here?" Hurry up and get down to work! If you can't find anyone within five days, I will cut off your head! ”

The general hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and Shane hurriedly retreated.

Gao Yuchenglong's anger in his heart disappeared slightly, remembering his words and deeds just now, it didn't seem appropriate, after all, the emperor was still sitting on it, a little too much, so he bowed his hand to the emperor and asked the emperor: "Thank you, the emperor, the minister just lost his temper and shocked the holy driver, please punish the emperor." ”

"If you don't have an intention, Xiangguo doesn't have to care." Duan Zhixiang nodded, and said with a worried face: "However, Shimen Fan Xingshi moved the people, and the following criminals entered Kou I Dali, and now the troops are stationed in Sandian, which is only a stone's throw away from the Longshou Pass, but it is a big deal. ”

He spoke with his face to Gao Yuchenglong, but he asked the courtiers of the full hall.

Just like when Gao Yuchenglong was in a rage just now, there was no one in the hall who spoke in the black pressure, and everyone even controlled the sound of breathing very lightly, lest the sound of the voice be heavy, and the emperor heard it and mistakenly thought that he was going out to ask for a battle to retreat from the enemy.

Just kidding, Sandian's is Shimenfan, Duan Zhisen, the king of Zhenbei, and the barbarians of all the tribes can't defeat the fierce enemy who can't defeat tens of thousands of troops, whoever goes will die.

Thinking of the dilemma of Duan Zhisen running back alone a few days ago, many people didn't even dare to breathe.

Gao Yuchenglong turned around and looked at a group of quail-like people, and the anger was rising again.

Okay, what did Lao Tzu do to you before? The high-ranking officials and marquis are waiting, and now that Lao Tzu is in trouble, you will shrink your heads one by one as turtles? Just wait for Lao Tzu to run away and take refuge in the new master!

"Hmph, the Shimen Fan Barbarian Department, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the expedition of the labor division is far less convenient than the convenience of my Dali Wang Shi to wait for labor. I Dali has 20,000 elite soldiers, more than the thief, and the 36 barbarian Qinwang's division can arrive, and then gather around the royal city, the heavenly soldiers are vast, is there no one who dares to fight, and the brave generals are brave enough to lead the troops to fight, and solve the emperor's worries and troubles? "Gao Yucheng Long couldn't bear it, and opened his mouth in the shadows.

The people below stirred slightly, probably infected by the anger that was hidden in Gao Yucheng, and a whispering sound sounded, and from time to time someone peeked at Xiangguo with a black face, and his eyes dodged.

Then there was silence again.

Gao Yu Chenglong felt that his blood was about to break through the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

At this moment, Duan Zhixiang, the Dali Emperor behind him, spoke again.

"Xiangguo, I think about it, I think it's not that the ministers dare not lead troops to fight, my Dali brave generals, how can I be cowardly and afraid of the enemy, this is impossible."

Gao Yucheng Long patiently turned his face away again, waiting for Duan Zhixiang's next words.

"I think it's because the thirty-six barbarians are on their own, all of them are chiefs on their own side, and they are not convinced by each other. If you send one person to lead the troops at will, and when the time comes, you don't listen to orders and don't respect military discipline, won't it be a big deal? ”

There is some truth in this, the 36 barbarian tribes in eastern Yunnan have never been the subordinate ministers of Dali, but the nature of vassals, and the general Dali generals really can't control the scene.

"I originally wanted to drive the expedition in person, firstly, to vent this evil breath for Xiangguo, and secondly, to raise the prestige of my Dali country, and let the barbarians know how sad the end of treachery is." Duan Zhixiang patted his thigh, his face full of righteous indignation: "Dali founded the country by relying on force to dominate the world, and I have long had the idea of fighting a grand battle and reproducing the demeanor of the founding ancestors." ”

His expression changed, and he felt sorry and sad: "It's a pity that I am old and frail, and I have been riddled with diseases in the past few years. ”

He said this sincerely, with sad eyebrows and eyes, his hand on his forehead, his whole body was shaking, as if he was really anxious and angry, and he couldn't stop patting his legs, as if he hated his poor health.

So all the officials in the palace knelt down together and shouted loudly: "The ministers are incompetent, please take care of the dragon's body!" ”

Gao Yuchenglong was in a trance, and he also knelt down, his mind was numb, is the emperor acting or is it real?

"Let's get up." Duan Zhixiang waved his hand weakly, and coughed a few times at the right time: "So I decided to entrust the soldiers of the whole country to Xiangguo, and ask Xiangguo to personally lead the troops. The prestige of the Xiangguo is like a mountain, and with the Xiangguo, the barbarians dare not act arbitrarily, and they will definitely be able to gather 36 for their own use. ”

He straightened up, leaned higher than Chenglong, and asked, "I wonder if Xiangguo is willing?" ”

It is difficult to ride a tiger over the city.

The emperor said so, is he embarrassed to refuse?

More crucially, there is no better way to do this than to take the army into your own hands and fight for your destiny.

He thought about it for a long time, weighed left and right, and finally raised his head, frowned and bowed to Duan Zhixiang and said, "Minister...... Command! ”

As soon as the words fell, Duan Zhixiang smiled.

His heart blossomed.
