Winter is approaching, but the southwest is still as warm as spring this season.

The capital of Dali is Yangtho City, and the bell of Chongsheng Temple has passed.

Duan Xiaolou's men and horses had already occupied all the main roads, and they had to wait for the night to fall at the moment, and when the night came, they would proceed according to the original plan.

Duan Xiaolou knew that Dali was not as simple as just one Gao family, in this southwestern place, it was a place where various tribes lived, and it was also the same in the Erhai region.

And the capital of Yang Tho Baa City to Cangshan Erhai Lake as a natural barrier, build the south and north city walls, from the west of Cangshan and the foot of the peak, now stretch for fifteen miles, the scale is unprecedented.

Most of the houses in the city are built on the mountain, in the form of upper buildings and lower buildings.

And the palace they are going to attack tonight is located in the west of Yang Tho Baa City, built on the slope of Cangshan Mountain, and is a three-entry courtyard that is located on the mountain, sits on the west and faces the east, and is closed.

Although the size of the palace is small, it is still a strong wall.

Although the Duan family ruled Dali, but the founding of the country for decades, Dali domestic princes gradually became a climate, the most powerful for Gao, Yang two, Duan Siping was on the throne, because of the integration of several other large aristocratic groups in Yunnan.

In the past few years, he has been exploring the situation in Dali, secretly accumulating some of his own strength, in addition, he has also tried every means to provoke the dissatisfaction of other scholars, officials, and various ethnic groups against the Gao family and the Dong family.

The emperor and the ministers began to be suspicious of each other, this time the emperor was seriously ill, according to Duan Xiaolou's eyeliner, it was the people of the Gao family who secretly poisoned the emperor's meal, which gradually caused the emperor's dragon body to be weak, and the Gao family was also very close to the prince, and there was also a hand of the prince.

Duan Xiaolou knew that although their number was smaller than that of the Gao family, Duan Xiaolou believed that his command ability and knowledge of thermal weapons could still open up a new path in the city.

Four or five months ago, there happened to be a batch of divine machine cannons from Guangzhou to Yang Tho Baa City, and the people of Changchun Hall arranged all this batch of divine machine cannons in the inner city and the imperial city.

With a thermal weapon, Duan Xiaolou is even more confident,

"Young master, Wuhua Building has been occupied by my Changchun Hall." Wuhua Tower is five floors high, can accommodate 10,000 people to stand, and it is also the highest point here, overlooking the entire Yangtho City.

In the southwest, the mountains are high and dangerous, the terrain is complicated, and the places where houses can be built are generally on the hillside, and the city of Yang Tho is also built on such a hillside, because the road in the city is a little complicated, and its lanes are not large, if it is not a wise choice to send troops, there are too many people, they will be trapped in the lanes.

But fortunately, Duan Xiaolou had studied the terrain here, and he was also very familiar with the laneway war.

Little by little, they wanted to occupy the dangerous places in the city, and little by little they would uproot the enemy's living forces.

"Tonight we will start the attack from the heavy building." The heavy building mentioned in Duan Xiaolou's mouth is the most eye-catching one of the palace buildings in Yang Tho City, occupying this building, it is like having a lookout place, and you can also check the situation of the whole city.

"Young master." Duan Ping hurriedly ran over.

"What happened to Duan Ping?" Duan Xiaolou saw Duan Ping running over in a hurry, and he asked eagerly.

"Young master, the people of the Gao family are about to do it, Duan Sushun is in their hands, and as soon as Duan Sicong dies, the people of the Gao family will support Duan Sushun as the emperor."

"Got it." Duan Xiaolou just said three words, his expression was solemn, he had heard that Uncle Changhuang, Bu Xie Duan Zibiao, Bu Xie Duan Yanzhen and others were planning to do it, and those people didn't know that they were still living in this world.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the wind from the southwest has begun to blow, although there is a small half moon hanging in the sky, but the vision of the night is not so bright, everything has to be carried out in the dark, and everyone's hearts are very expectant and anxiously waiting.

In the distance, the candles were lit one by one, and the lights in the city were also shining little by little, like stars in the sky.

Duan Xiaolou and they are still staying on top of Wuhua Tower at the moment, overlooking everything through the tall building.

They were waiting for the arrival of late night, and at the same time they were also waiting for news from the west and north of the city.

"Report, the head of the Gao family has arrived in the palace." The panting guards hurriedly ran to the Wuhua Tower and said, "I just received news from the palace attendants that the emperor has died, and the people of the Gao family are planning to support the crown prince to ascend the throne as emperor. ”

"As soon as the emperor dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, my Duan clan will become a puppet, and the people of the Gao family will become more and more unscrupulous." Duan Xiaolou's return to Dali this time is not just as simple as revenge, he feels that he has the ability to make the entire history of Dali turn around.

In a short time, he wants to regain the throne and then govern Dali.

Those who achieve great things have to go through different ups and downs.

These Duan Xiaolou all know that a few days ago, the news he sent from Changchun Hall also knew the news of the Northern Kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty had completely recovered the Northern Han Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom had been defeated, and now his good buddies are also realizing the plan step by step.

……

Soon in the second half of the night, the lights in the city had begun to dim a lot, and the watchmen began to appear in the streets and alleys.

News from the west and north of the city was constantly sent to the vicinity of Wuhua Tower, and with the arrangement of Duan Xiaolou, most of the main roads in the capital were in the hands of Changchun Hall at this moment.

At the end of the day, in the west of the city, where the Gao family mansion was located, suddenly a fire broke out, and the pavilions of the buildings were ruthlessly engulfed by the fire.

In the place of the heavy building in the north of the city, suddenly a thunder thunder sounded from the ground, and then there was a loud bang, but the south gate of the palace was blasted open by the divine cannon.

The forbidden army guarding the palace suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy, and they didn't know what had happened, so they were killed by a thunderbolt.

The scene was suddenly panicked, and some generals began to go to the palace to report the news.

The fire starts.

Upstairs in Wuhua, Duan Xiaolou's men and horses suddenly saw everything in the west of the city, and the fire was a good signal, which meant that the things they had been waiting for for a long time were about to be implemented.

Then they got the news of the heavy building, and the whole group began to get excited.

At this moment, the people upstairs and downstairs all looked at Duan Xiaolou with bated breath, waiting for the news of the attack with great anticipation, while Duan Xiaolou raised his sword and pointed at everyone: "You have done a good job, I ordered to attack the palace immediately, I will take back everything that belongs to me tonight, and you will also get good merits." ”

……

Cheng.

"Put."

I saw a row of explosions of "bang......" sounding in the smoke of gunpowder.

Duan Xiaolou and the others had quickly arrived at the south gate of the palace city, and after a while, they saw a general carrying a bloody human head and rushing directly in front of Duan Xiaolou.

"The subordinates have seen the master." The general fell to his knees all of a sudden, and then offered the head in his hand to Duan Xiaolou.

Duan Xiaolou took the human head and looked at it, and laughed, "Thank you Brother Yang Ping, thank you King Wei Chitose, the head of the Gao family is now dead, and all this has finally calmed down." ”

……

Soon after, Dali finally changed hands, and Duan Xiaolou sat on the throne of Dali as he wished, changed the yuan to "Shuntian", formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, and guarded the southwest and other places.

Everything returned to calm, and Dali began to flourish under Duan Xiaolou's governance.
