Fang La invited the Dali Kingdom to attack the Great Zhou from the south. The Dali ministers were divided into two factions, and after a fierce dispute, they decided to send troops.

Liu Guangshi, the defense envoy of Lingnan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Yu Yunwen, the civil official supervisor, first fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, and immediately counterattacked after receiving the imperial edict. Duan Linlie was exhausted by Liu Guangshi's drum tactics, and fled back to Dali with only half of the remaining remnants of the defeated army.

Seeing that most of the elites of Dali were trapped in Lingnan, Nanyue felt that there was an opportunity, and sent 50,000 elites to attack the three southeast passes of Dali, and once wanted to break into the heart of Dali.

At the critical moment, Duan Linjie, with the support of several veterans, strictly guarded the gate, never wasted the battle, and used the mountains to resist the South Vietnamese offensive. The Nanyue Kingdom was eventually forced to retreat, but the Dali Kingdom also suffered heavy losses.

The people of Dali suffered more than 100,000 casualties, the national strength was sharply reduced, and the people's hearts fluctuated. The Tusi gentry took the opportunity to wantonly elevate the central power, and the tribal contradictions and the dispute between Buddha and witches, which had been covered up for many years, resurfaced.

Far from easing, the contradictions between the two princes of Dali have been further made public. At the same time, the Li Dynasty in South Vietnam, the Bagan Kingdom in the west of Dali, and the small tribes in the south were ready to challenge the status of the Dali State and become the new overlord of Indochina. The Indochina Peninsula is gradually becoming unstable......

In the early days of the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the soldiers dared to fight, they had three major wars with Dali, wanting to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties in one fell swoop.

The three wars were strikingly similar, with the Dali Kingdom first defeated, and then relying on the dense forests, miasma, and Tusi of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to resist. After many fruitless attacks on Dali, the scholars and doctors of the Zhou Dynasty finally couldn't bear it, thinking that these forbidden army generals who fought all over the world were "arrogant" and "extremely stupid".

It happened that the Great Zhou had a border conflict with the Western Xia, and the Western Xia was also strong at that time, and it was actually unable to fight with the Great Zhou. As a result, the Great Zhou court ended the Great Zhou's conquest of "traditional" areas such as Guizhou, Yunnan, on the grounds that the Dali State had surrendered.

The Dali State, which inherited the Dao system of the Nanzhao State, was dominated by the Heavenly Dynasty, and the lord of Dali was named the Prince of Dazhou, so the Dali State was able to continue to exist as a "Little China".

Dali, Yunnan, which is the name of the country and the name of the capital, was once a prosperous and wealthy urban area on fire.

The battle between Duan Lingjie and Duan Linlie intensified, and finally under the impetus of the family clan who supported Duan Linjie and the Tusi who supported Duan Linlie, the two sides fought in the national capital.

The king of Dali lost control of the grassroots army, several veteran generals were also unable to control the situation, and Duan Qirui directly controlled a pitiful number of Praetorian Guards.

Duan Qirui is old and strong, and he doesn't want to be reduced to a pawn of his two sons competing for the throne, and he can't bear to see flesh and blood killing each other. Taking advantage of the fact that the two sides were fighting and unable to take care of it, Duan Qirui, under the protection of several old generals, led the troops and courtiers loyal to him to escape from the national capital and went straight to Tengyue Mansion on the other side of the river.

Prime Minister Lu Yiming, as the person that the two princes wanted to fight for, the Dinghai Shenzhu of the Dali Dynasty and the head of the Dali cultural context, volunteered to take the risk of staying in Dali City.

After thinking about it, the eunuch Du Chenqi thought that the two princes did not want to see him, and he was afraid that he would not end well, so he took some chamberlains to follow the king.

In the luxurious carriage with gilt ornaments and jade, the little princess Duan Lin Tian looked at the blazing capital in a daze, and his father sighed and said, "Tian'er, don't look at it, you can't stop them." ”

Duan Lintian put down the screen window, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears. "Why, Father. The attack on Dazhou had already suffered heavy losses, and the confrontation with the South Vietnamese State made Dali even worse. Big brother and second brother, they still have to fight back and forth, don't they know, this will only cheapen those big clans and toast? ”

"Bagan in the west, Nanyue in the east, black-toothed barbarians in the south, and Tubo in the north. There is also the Great Zhou, despite the disasters and repeated defeats in the army over the years, it is still a big country, and I don't know if it will retaliate... Dali should have recuperated, how could the two elder brothers not understand? Thinking of the sadness, this little princess pear blossom with rain, and the elderly Duan Qirui also sighed for a long time.

Wiping away the tears of his youngest daughter, the old king Duan Qirui coughed for a while, and Duan Lintian hurriedly stroked his father's back. Duan Qirui slowed down, and his tone was low, "Your two elder brothers are very smart, how can they not understand?" But they can't help themselves, there are people behind them pushing them, and if they don't fight, it can be regarded as the fate of the royal family. ”

"Dali's house is in tatters, and although your father is called King Xian, it's just like that. After ascending the throne, Dali looks at the national strength is thriving, in fact, it is just the outside of the glamorous, the family, the old gentry, the Tusi Fanbu, these moths have already hollowed out my Dali country. ”

"The Great Zhou in the north, hum, maybe their emperor is still thinking about the peace of the world... My father has ruled the country for decades, and I think that there is only one thing to remember to be a good king. Do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do good. ”

"Your father, I have come to understand that these toast gentry, the big family, are a raccoon dog after all. But the problem is here, Dali is really inseparable from these families and Tusi, otherwise the king's life will not be able to leave Dali, and the father will not be able to get rid of their constraints. What the hell is the problem......"

"Now that they are growing their wings, the reason why they support Jie'er and Lie'er to seize power is just because they want more." Duan Qirui expressed the bitterness in his heart. In this era, it is really unusual for this tyrant to be able to perceive the essential flaws of the existing system.

Many years later, Li Xiang trembled when he got the information of Daliguo, and thought that it was the "predecessors" of his time and space that had made a storm in the city. Down with Dali, get rid of the warlords!

Duan Lintian wiped his tears with a silk handkerchief, and was shocked when he heard this. "But isn't the Celestial Empire sharing the world with scholars, since there are so many constraints, how can it be so prosperous... Since the eldest brother and the second brother understand the wishful thinking of those people, is there any way to stop this civil strife? ”

Duan Qirui smiled bitterly, his daughter is really pure and good. "If Daddy had a way, he wouldn't have to run away with you. Everything has its own number of days, and although my father is worshiped by all the peoples, he is only a mortal. I hope that your two elder brothers can take care of their brotherhood, leave some leeway, and save some vitality for Dali. ”

In the second year of the Shengxi reign of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the two princes of Dali were infighting, and the struggle quickly spread from the army and the city to the officialdom and the prefecture and county, and the situation finally got out of control.

Duan Qirui, the king of Dali, led the army under his direct control, accompanied by the little princess and the queen who had just recovered. A procession of thousands of people crossed the Lancang River together, and the king moved to Tengyue Mansion.

Since then, Tengyue Mansion has become the capital of Dali, and the civil and military officials and clans who have "fled" over one after another have collected refugees and resumed production, while cleaning up the places where the army has been suppressed, and gradually suppressing the ten surnames of Bagan and the black teeth in the south.

In Guilin, Guangxi, in later generations, Liu Guangshi was seeing off Yu Yunwen, who was reinstated. "Congratulations, my lord, this time Zhao Xianggong returned to the court, and Lord Yu also returned to the center with merit... Presumably, Lord Yu can expect to pay respects, and the last general congratulates him in advance. ”

Yu Yunwen looked at this rule-abiding and sleek general, and said a few polite words while being happy. "I still want to congratulate General Liu on his promotion to the pacification envoy of Lingnan Province, this time I will return to the court, only a Privy Councillor, and I will never mention it again."

Liu Guangshi stopped complimenting him and made an appearance of humbly asking for advice, "My lord is about to return to the court, about Dali and the Li Dynasty of Nanyue, is there anything else to explain to the last general?" ”

This is also where Yu Yunwen is worried, he pondered for a long time, and instructed: "According to the news of the spies, scouts and businessmen of the national dynasty, the civil strife in Dali this time should be a long time, and the national strength is exhausted, and there is no threat to my Great Zhou." ”

"Before the peace talks with Dali are reached, the general can make a counterattack at any time and raise the prestige of our Great Zhou army. But remember, you can't fight without a will. ”

"As for the Li Dynasty, its attack on Dali suffered a lot of losses, so the general can guard the gate." After Yu Yunwen finished speaking, he said goodbye to the generals and civilian officials, got into a carriage, and went away under the escort of a brand of soldiers.

Yu Yunwen returned to Kaifeng from Lingnan, and he needed to take a carriage first, and then take an official boat. Under the alternation of land and water, it can reach Kaifeng in one month.
