In the study, Du Xingchou's face showed a trace of excitement, this was the first time he entered the imperial study after he was dismissed, which showed that Li Jing had not forgotten him as an old man.

"Chen Duchen greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Get up!" Li Jing's gentle voice came from the top of his head, and said: "The information you sent is very timely, hehe, they have all gone to work, and the people of the secret guard have not forgotten you." Looks like you're doing a good job as a commander. ”

"It's all Your Majesty's grace." Duchenne hurriedly said.

"You also know the target of this army's attack, Dali, and only Dali is the target of my attack, 100,000 troops descended from the northern frontier, there are about 300,000 war horses, the march is secondary, the key is the situation along the way, the specific direction of the army's march has been given to Boyan. The task of your Dark Guard is important. On this march, I will personally lead 30,000 troops, pass through thousands of miles, and break into the canyon, which is very dangerous, and your secret guard is related to the safety of me and my 30,000 army, and there can be no slack. Li Jing nodded at Gao Zhan behind him.

Gao Zhan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened a map, and saw that a red line had been marked on the map, indicating the direction of the army's attack.

"Your Majesty, is this move too dangerous, for the sake of a small Dali, just work so hard, what if?" Duchenne looked at the red line marked with a red pen on the map, and his face turned pale.

"What kind of war has not been experienced, as long as the information you provide is in place, these are small things." Li Jing said nonchalantly. He knew that the people of the secret guard had long pretended to be merchants, and they had found many roads in the dense forests of the southwest, although it was a little difficult, but they would definitely not die, at most it would take a long time, but the results they could achieve were good. Li Jing thinks that this risk can be taken.

"In that case, the minister will go down and prepare." Duchenne gritted his teeth and said. No matter what, we must ensure Li Jing's safety.

"The concubines greet Your Majesty." In Hanxiang Garden, Duan Baifeng's face was flushed with shame, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes, Li Jing came to his palace to rest, which made Duan Baifeng very happy.

After entering the palace, although he didn't have the palace fight he imagined, he was sure to be bored, and he just did something he liked every day, but he couldn't see his relatives, which made Duan Baifeng feel very lonely. Li Jing's arrival made her feel a little more hopeful.

"A person is bored in the palace, you can go out for a walk and see, you have lost a lot of weight recently." Li Jing pulled Duan Baifeng up, looked at her melon seed face, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty laughed, and the concubines all felt that they had gained a lot of weight recently." Duan Baifeng's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice.

"I'm bored now, just wait a while, I'll let your relatives come and accompany you. lest you get bored. Li Jing took Duan Baifeng's hand and said: "Qin Hui went to Dali and instigated Gao Liangcheng to join the Song Dynasty to attack Tang, Gao Liangcheng has already agreed, your father imprisoned Duan Mingcheng in the cold palace, I am afraid that soon, he will send a large army into the land of Bashu to Li Qiao." ”

"Ahh Duan Baifeng's face turned pale when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Jing to come and tell him the news, Feng's eyes were distracted, and he didn't know what to do. She didn't expect her father to do such a stupid thing, what should she do as a married daughter?

"Don't worry, in Dali, it's not your father who is really in power, but the Gao family, presumably the Gao family has already given birth to a different heart, and on the surface, it's just for your father to suffer." Li Jing said indifferently: "That's okay, your Duan family would rather be a monk than be the Son of Heaven, even if you guard the country of Dali, you just rely on others to live a life, it is better to merge into the Tang Dynasty, I named him the Duke of Dali, hereditary replacement, wouldn't it be happy, your father and daughter can also be reunited, wouldn't it be better." ”

Duan Baifeng didn't know what to say anymore, he didn't expect Li Jing's ambition to annex Dali by chance, and he felt sad in his heart, but thinking about it, the dignified Tang Emperor, now he is not even thirty, and he is about to unify the world, as the founder of the country, how can he just give up, Dali is just a stone's throw away, how can he give up. It's just that she didn't expect things to come so quickly, and she hasn't enjoyed happiness yet.

"Your brother has been imprisoned in the cold palace, which shows that your father is still a little benevolent, and he doesn't really want to deal with the Tang Dynasty, or rather, he just wants to maintain a balance between the two, but I will never allow such a thing to happen, Dali can save it in your face, but unfortunately, your father did not seize such an opportunity and accepted the title of Nanwang of the Southern Song Dynasty, but what he didn't know was that this Nanwang title was actually given to Gao Liangcheng." Li Jing grasped the information, felt Duan Bai Fengyu's hand slowly getting cold, couldn't help but take her into his arms, and said: "Your father is your father, you are you, since you are my concubine, you are a member of the Li family, and soon after, you will have a son, a daughter, and you will forget a lot about Dali." ”

"Concubines, concubines obey the order." Duan Baifeng breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, on the one hand, she was worried about her family, and on the other hand, she was also worried about what happened to her, in the past, because of the same thing, it was not uncommon for the concubine to commit suicide or suffer a cold reception, Li Jing could still come to see her at this time, it was already very merciful.

Just when Li Jing was wandering in Duan Baifeng's gentleness, Hu Yanbao, who was far away in Dali, was exhausted, and with Gao Liangcheng's order, the entire Dali army suddenly moved when he heard the wind, and killed five thousand men and horses together.

The simple thing is that the 5,000 people led by Hu Yanbao are all elites, and the equipment on their bodies is also the standard equipment brought from Datang, well-equipped, and even eats three meals a day, morale is high, and the attack is extremely fierce, so they are killed all the way.

Dali is mountainous, Hu Yanbao's soldiers are well-trained, themselves are excellent mountain soldiers, once they can't beat the other side, they will get into the mountains and forests, so that although there are some losses, they will not be wiped out. In the past two years, a large number of secret guards have poured into Dali, Hu Yanbao led the army to leave, towards the thirty-seven departments, when leaving, also launched the secret guard to help, more than half a month, only to kill the vicinity of Ailao Mountain, from the thirty-seven still nearly a thousand miles away, but only to the south, can avoid the pursuit of the Gao family, after all, the main force of the Gao family is near Chuxiong, and in the southern states and counties, the strength of the Duan family is stronger, this is the focus of Hu Yanbao's five thousand elites to escape smoothly.
