The dragon head was closed, Duan Zhengxing didn't notice all this, he stood on the city wall, looked at the Tang army camp opposite, and said to Chu Liang, the deputy general next to him: "It is said that the Tang army is brave and good at fighting, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that, my father is too cautious, and the dynasty of the Central Plains is nothing more than that." Although he has been to Bianjing, he has not seen the army of the Tang Dynasty, these days, although the Tang army's offensive is fierce, but it still has not broken the defense of Longshou Pass, and the number of dead and wounded is far above Dali, so Duan Zhengxing has such a sigh.

Chu Liang listened silently, he is different from Duan Zhengxing, he is a veteran of Dali, he can see clearly on the city wall, the Tang elite is fierce and abnormal, when attacking, he forgets to die, he doesn't know what death is, as long as the military order is given, the front is the abyss, and it is also brave to move forward, compared with it, Dali's soldiers are much worse, even if they rely on Longshou Pass, as a defensive side, they have killed and injured nearly 2,000 people, such a price, in Chu Liang's view, is unbearable, as long as it withstands several attacks, the loss of Longshou Pass is certain.

However, Chu Liang thinks that the elite of Datang, such a crazy attack can certainly capture Longshou Pass, but the result of nearly 10,000 casualties is undoubtedly something Datang can't afford, how Datang will do it next, Chu Liang thinks that this needs to be carefully guarded against.

"Shizi, I think that the Tang army will no longer forcibly storm Longshou Pass, will it attack us after a detour to Cangshan." Chu Liang said with some worry. Longshouguan is very important, it is the last battle of Yangtho City, once lost, the entire Dali will be destroyed. Chu Liang believes that it should be well defended sufficiently.

"Back Mountain? General Chu, the Tang army is mostly cavalry, even if they put down their war horses, can these cavalry really cross Cangshan? Don't say it's these cavalry, even our soldiers may not be able to climb over Cangshan! Duan Zhengxing laughed when he heard this, and said: "Cangshan is so difficult, if you want to climb the back mountain, you still have to maintain combat effectiveness, unless you are familiar with Cangshan, you can do it?" Boyan is a grassland man, and Gao Zhong is just a reckless man, how can he do it? ”

After Chu Liang listened, he nodded, suddenly thought about it, and said: "The minister remembers that Yang Tingjing still has 5,000 soldiers under him, if these people come, they may not be able to cross Cangshan, Yang Tingjing's 5,000 people are familiar with everything around here, and the minister thinks that it is better to send 2,000 people to garrison the back mountain, so as not to be taken advantage of by Yang Tingjing." ”

"Yang Tingjing is still in Shanxi at this time! Speaking of which, I also want to thank the Gao family, if it weren't for the Gao family leading the army to Shanxi, I'm afraid that Yang Tingjing would definitely join the battle sequence at this time, at that time, I have to be careful that they climb up from the back mountain, now I don't need to. Duan Zheng said proudly.

The whole Dali knows that the Duan family and the Gao family are interdependent and wary of each other, and even the Duan family is very dissatisfied with the Gao family, but if the children of the Duan family want to ascend the throne as king, they need the support of the Gao family, Duan Zhengxing wants to ascend the throne as the king, and they also need the support of the Gao family, and they are dissatisfied with Gao Liangcheng, but this dissatisfaction can only be kept in the heart and dare not show it.

"Yes, yes." Chu Liang said in a low voice. But in his heart, he didn't think so, if things were so easy to deal with, then the Gao family would not be able to become the Gao family, and the Tang Dynasty would not be able to shock the world, but this sentence, he didn't dare to continue, Duan Zhengxing, who had already mastered the overall situation of Longshou Pass and resisted several attacks by the Tang Dynasty, was in the ascendant, and would not support his suggestion, but the back mountain.

"Shizi, there is news from the palace." Duan Zhengxing was about to speak, when suddenly a waiter ran in the distance, looking panicked, Duan Zhengxing glanced at Chu Liang.

"What's so flustered?" Duan Zhengxing snorted coldly. He didn't deliberately deceive Chu Liang, Chu Liang is the person in charge of the army, if Duan Zhengxing wants to inherit the throne, he needs someone to support him, Chu Liang is a good candidate, so he always wants to take Chu Liang under his command.

"Shizi, the last general will go to inspect first." It's a pity that Chu Liang didn't accept Duan Zhengxing's kindness, but arched his hand towards Duan Zhengxing, and he retreated. Duan Zhengxing's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes.

"Shizi, there is news from the palace, Your Majesty is ready to give up the throne, abdicate the throne as a monk, and enter the Wuwei Temple to become a monk." The chamberlain said hurriedly. He is the person that Duan Zhengxing planted next to Duan Zhengyan, and he was specially used to deliver news.

"Retreat as a monk? But who did you say the throne to? Duan Zhengxing's face has not changed, the Duan family has become the norm to abdicate as monks, these people would rather be monks than be emperors, it is a very hard thing to be an emperor in Dali, not to mention dealing with government affairs, the key is that the emperor has no power in his hands, and he is bullied by the Gao family, and even his life is in danger. But for Duan Zhengxing, it is nothing great for him to be a monk, but the most important thing is who the position of the king of Dali is passed on.

"I don't know yet. But some preparations are underway. The waiter didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said.

"Haha, if that's the case, then this throne is not mine. Let's go, go back to Beijing. This throne must be mine, not anyone else. After Duan Zhengxing heard this, he immediately laughed, his face was hideous, thinking that he was dealing with Datang on the front line, but Duan Zhengyan in the rear passed the throne to Duan Mingcheng, which made Duan Zhengxing very dissatisfied. He flicked the sleeves of his robe and yelled. If you can't get this throne, then what can you do even if you keep the Dragon Head Pass?

"Shizi, who are you?" Chu Liang saw Duan Zhengxing's angry look, and couldn't help but ask.

"From now on, you are the guard of the Dragon Head Pass, and you are not allowed to leave without permission until the son of this world returns." Duan Zhengxing threw the sword in his hand to Chu Liang, and he held back the anger in his heart.

"Shizi, this? Your Majesty will not allow it. "Where did Chu Liang dare to take on such a heavy responsibility.

"Hehe, father, he is ready to abdicate as a monk, and the future king of Dali doesn't know who it is!" Duan Zhengxing couldn't help but laugh wildly, where did he have time to ignore Chu Liang, and led the inner servant to rush out of Longshou Pass.

"It's all this time, and there is still infighting, the Datang army is under the pass, and the Longshou Pass will be lost at any time, and it is necessary to unite as one, and the infighting can only be cheaper for Datang. Dali is really hopeless. Chu Liang didn't expect that when he heard such news, he suddenly felt like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and he didn't expect that at such a critical time, Duan Zhengxing would actually throw aside the affairs of the military state and go back to fight for the throne, which made him extremely disappointed all of a sudden. He doesn't think that in this case, Dali still has a chance to turn over.
