"Not only those 5,000 people, but even their families will be killed." Gao Liangcheng didn't wait for Duan Zhengyan to speak, and then said loudly. There was a hint of murder in his eyes.

"This, 5,000 people will be killed?" Duan Zhengyan was taken aback, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is only Yang Tingjing and Hu Yanbao, or the dozens of Tang soldiers they brought, this is to kill five thousand people, that is, there are as many as 10,000 people, no, absolutely not." "Duan Zhengyan is an extremely kind person, he is very kind to his courtiers on weekdays, and his prestige among the people is very high. Shaking his head again and again, he refused to give such an order.

"Your Majesty, do you think these five thousand men are still your soldiers? Are these people still loyal to His Majesty? During this period of time in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to training soldiers, they also gave these soldiers a lot of money, and all the merchants gave priority to the families of these soldiers, these soldiers got the benefits of His Majesty on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also took the benefits of the Tang Dynasty, and on the surface they were loyal to His Majesty, but in fact, they had betrayed His Majesty a long time ago. If one day Yang Tingjing made a move against His Majesty, these soldiers would become the first traitors to raise their broadswords. Gao Liangcheng snorted coldly and said: "These people have become rebels, Your Majesty, to deal with these rebels, you must not show mercy, you should all be killed." ”

The corners of Duan Zhengyan's mouth twitched, he had never killed so many people, five thousand soldiers meant five thousand households, thinking that countless people would lose their heads because of one of his orders, Duan Zhengyan trembled. He knew what Gao Liangcheng meant, killing these 5,000 people, I was afraid that he would become a tyrant, and offending the Tang Dynasty was secondary, and in the future, the Duan family's benevolent name in Dali would probably disappear completely. The reason why the Duan family can still preserve the throne now, isn't it because of the kindness of the Duan family?

"Forget it, since I have left Dali, it means that I am blessed and cannot get the loyalty and love of these soldiers. Forget it! After Duan Zhengyan understood the reason for this, he did not hesitate to reject Gao Liangcheng's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, how can you be merciful to these rebels!" There was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the tall tiger.

"Alright, Gao Xiang. Let's think about how to face the Great Song! Duan Zhengyan pointed to Duan Mingcheng on the side and said, "This rebel son will be imprisoned in Ganquan Palace from today onwards, and he will not be allowed to go out without my will." "Ganquan Palace is not Duan Mingcheng's own palace, but Dali's cold palace.

Gao Liangcheng's eyes narrowed, it seemed that Duan Zhengyan severely punished Duan Mingcheng, but in fact, he was protecting Duan Mingcheng, although the cold palace is a cold palace, but in the palace, it is impossible to get rid of Duan Mingcheng, and everyone knows that Duan Mingcheng is close to Datang, and keeping Duan Mingcheng is actually for the purpose of talking to Datang in the future.

Gao Liangcheng did not refuse this suggestion, he didn't want to kill Duan Mingcheng, only Duan Mingcheng's brother wanted to kill Duan Mingcheng, but he was uncomfortable with some of Duan Zhengyan's actions. Finally, he thought for a moment and said, "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, then the minister will obey the order, and the minister will retire first." As he spoke, he bowed to Duan Zheng and slowly retreated.

"See! He wants to destroy the foundation of my Dali, how many families must be 5,000 people, if I kill all these people, won't the reputation of my Dali Duan family stink in the future? In the future, when he waits for the critical moment, he will be able to subvert the status of our Duan family in Dali. Duan Zhengyan looked at Gao Liangcheng's back and said to Duan Mingcheng beside him.

"It's a pity that there are still many people in my Duan family who don't know the Gao family's thoughts." A smile rose at the corner of Duan Mingcheng's mouth, at this time, it was the best time to give his brothers eye medicine. Those brothers who wanted to be their own wanted to get the support of the Gao family, even if it was himself before, but after returning to Dali, Duan Mingcheng had already given up on Gao Zhenyuan.

"It's good that you think so, let's be a little wronged during this time!" Duan Zhengyan felt a headache, he didn't know about the things that his sons were fighting for the throne of Dali, but he was merciful by nature, and there was nothing he could do in the face of this cannibalistic situation. Thinking of this, he suddenly waved his hand tiredly and asked Duan Mingcheng to retreat.

"Qin Xiang, I really guessed it, King Dali doesn't want to offend Datang." After Gao Liangcheng left the palace, he got into a luxurious carriage, and Qin Hui was already sitting in it.

After listening to Gao Liangcheng's words, Qin Hui immediately touched his beard and said: "This is natural, on one side is the Great Song Dynasty, on the other side is the Tang Dynasty, you can't offend anyone, King Dali's self-preservation is understandable, but he is so, but King Nan can't be confused." ”

Yes, he is calling Gao Liangcheng the king of the south, in fact, that holy decree is not for Duan Zhengyan, but for Gao Liangcheng, who doesn't know that the Duan family gave their daughter to Li Jing, do they still expect the Duan family to stand on the side of the Great Song Dynasty. Sure enough, Duan Zhengyan didn't want to offend Li Jing, so he let Yang Tingjing and his 5,000 men run away.

"What Xia Guan is most worried about now is that these 5,000 people have run to the Hengshan realm, although Ziqi Country has grievances with the Duan family, but there is a blood feud with my Gao family, if nothing else, these 5,000 people must be heading towards Ziqi Kingdom, which is a great threat to us." Gao Liangcheng had to be careful, his Weichude River City was too close, and once he joined forces with Ziqi State, it would pose a great threat to the Gao family's Chuxiong territory.

"Then send someone to kill them, five thousand people are not many, Chu Xiong has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can't he deal with these five thousand men and horses? I believe that the king of the south must have an internal response among these five thousand people, and it is very simple to find them. Qin Hui glanced at Gao Liangcheng with a smile, he didn't believe that Gao Liangcheng didn't have a backhand.

"Originally, I wanted Duan Zhengyan to make a move, but unfortunately, this guy was not fooled, and now we can only do it ourselves." Gao Liangcheng's face was hideous, Chuxiong was the place of the Gao family, he must not take this danger, he must find a way to eliminate Yang Tingjing's five thousand men and horses outside Chuxiong, and he must not be allowed to enter the Hengshan realm.

"My Great Song Dynasty has something to do with Ziqi Kingdom, and Qin is also willing to help Nanwang with this little favor." Qin Hui said with a smile. The Southern Song Dynasty lacked war horses, and most of the war horses in Hengshan came from Ziqi Kingdom, and Qin Hui came this time to form the war horses of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Then thank you Qin Xiang." Gao Liangcheng is very happy.

Soon, a large net shrouded the sky over Dali, and the soldiers and horses of the Gao family were dispatched to encircle and intercept Huyanbao. At this time, in the city of Dali, a carrier pigeon flew into the sky and flew towards Bianjing.
