- Although Fan Zhen is not smiling, in Gao Shengtai's opinion, this Song Army coach is much easier to deal with than the elusive Chen Ke. At least, he can clearly understand the other party's intentions, and he will have a target. He said earnestly: "Dashuai Mingjian, my Gao family sincerely admires the Celestial Empire, and I am willing to do a little bit for the Celestial Empire's army." If I had to say that I had any ideas, it was nothing more than self-preservation. ”

"What do you mean?" Fan Zhen frowned and said, "If you don't supply military rations, my Great Song Dynasty will not be able to rob it?" ”

"Don't misunderstand," Gao Shengtai hurriedly said: "The Han family has never regarded Da Song as a threat, not now, and not in the future." What we mean by self-preservation refers to the contradictions within Dali. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Dashuai must know that although my Dali Duan is the king, there are actually many princes. Among them, the two largest princes, one is the Yang family, and the other is my Gao family. Gao Shengtai said: "We are all serving King Duan, and we were originally safe." But King Duan has always wanted to cut the domain, and the contradictions with the princes have deepened, and the Yang family is unwilling to sit still, which makes the people of Dali suffer a military disaster. ”

Although he knew that he was a fool, Fan Zhen nodded quietly.

"Although my Gao family is not weak, it adheres to the ancestral teachings, and has been based on the Duan family for generations, and has never had two hearts." Gao Shengtai first took out his own house and said: "Because of this, we have been committed to maintaining the peace of Dali, and we don't want to see our compatriots killing each other and harming the people." Gao Shengtai continued: "So although there is always a danger of being harmed, my father still remains at the forefront of Dali. ran between the two families of Duan Yang and mediated a truce between the two sides. ”

"Hmm." Fan Zhen said with appreciation on his face: "Gao Xiangguo is benevolent and righteous, and this handsome man admires him very much." ”

"With the continuous efforts of my father, now the two sides finally have a sense of peace." Seeing that he had taken the right medicine, Gao Shengtai made up his mind and said: "Now is the moment when Dali restores peace, if the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers arrive, the Duan clan will inevitably have the intention of killing people with a knife." Not only will the Yang family be cut off, but even my Gao family will become their target! ”

"This son can rest assured," Fan Zhen smiled faintly: "My Great Song Army." One is to come for the Nong family, and the other is to maintain the peace of Dali...... The waiter sent by King Duan to the imperial court to ask for the title has already arrived in Beijing, but it can't be canonized by my official family. It's going to change hands here. ”

His remarks were clearly to explain the purpose of sending troops, but in fact, they were hinting at where the bottom line of the Song Dynasty was.

Gao Shengtai naturally understood, and immediately nodded: "The villain just said that the Han family abides by the ancestral teachings, and has served the Duan family for generations, and has no two hearts. ”

"Haha, good! With this layer of consensus. Fan Zhen laughed loudly and said, "We have a lot to talk about!" ”

"The Han family is willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty wholeheartedly!" Gao Shengtai joked: "But listen to the commander's orders!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compared with the friendly and harmonious coach's account, Chen Ke is in this room. But it was full of wind and rain.

Duan Mingyue, the princess of Dali, looked at Chen Sanlang with a sad face, like an ignorant girl who was played, deceived, and abandoned, and finally woke up.

Chen Ke sat behind the big case with an embarrassed face, and said without words: "This is the jackfruit offered by Banna." It's very sweet, very sweet, princess, can you? ”

Duan Mingyue didn't answer, only looked at him sadly.

"It seems that the princess has long been tired of eating, and she also complains about me, forgetting whose territory this is." Chen Ke instructed: "Go, scoop a jar of stinky tofu from the Central Plains for the princess." Then scoop the two nests and dip them into the food. "He is a person who is easily affected by the environment, and when he was in the capital, he interacted with literati and ink writers, and he spoke quite well. At this time, he has been dealing with the big-headed soldiers all day long, and his true nature has been revealed, and he has become thicker than a bucket.

"You just ate stinky tofu and dipped it in the wotou." Duan Mingyue finally couldn't hold back, first snorted, and then shed tears again: "You liar...... ..., "What am I lying to you?" ”

"You lied to my brother, deceived me Daliguo, and lied to my chastity!" Duan Mingyue complained with tears in her eyes.

"Ahem...... ahem" Chen Kedeng felt Liu Yue's disdainful gaze, coughed embarrassedly and said: "Princess, you can eat things indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, when will I lie to your brother, when will I lie to Daliguo, and when will I lie to you...... That chaste? ”

"Still say no?" Duan Mingyue's beautiful eyes widened and said: "My brother gave the throne and the status of Dali in exchange for the help of the Great Song Dynasty, so it can be said that he dedicated everything to the Great Song Dynasty." But is that how you help us? ”

"When the princess says this, I'm going to die of grief." Chen Ke shouted and said: "Since I left Dali, I rushed to Bianjing City day and night for more than ten days, grinding the inner thighs to a bloody ......" looked back at Liu Yue'e behind him and said: "Brother Liu, you too, right?" ”

"No ......," Liu Yue'e said embarrassedly.

"I limped into the inner hall, tried my best to convince the officials and the ministers, and traveled day and night for more than ten days, returning to Guizhou City, the wound on my thigh was scabbed and worn out, worn and scabbed. Did you see it, I walk now. Chen Ke looked at Liu Yue'e again and said, "Brother Liu, you have also had such a process, right?" ”

"No ......" Liu Yue'e was depressed and just wanted to beat him.

Chen Ke didn't dare to tease her again, otherwise he would be beaten again when he turned around. Then he turned back to Duan Mingyue and said: "In short, how much hardship did I pay to come to Dali with the army, the princess actually said this about me, I am really more wronged than Dou E." ”

"Who is Dou E?" Duan Mingyue asked strangely.

"My Central Plains culture is broad and profound, you think you are very proficient, but now you know that it is not, right?" Chen Ke opened his mouth: "Let me introduce you to the life of Comrade Dou E. ”

"No need...... Duan Mingyue said helplessly: "Let's talk about the army, since we are here to help us, please hurry up and save my brother and my clan, and the people of my capital are in danger." ”

"Well, the army is on an expedition, and now it needs to rest."

"At least give us a definite date for the start of the army, right?"

"Well, it's about winter." Chen Ke said with a smile...... Okay, Kunming is like spring all year round, where to find winter?

"And you said you didn't lie?" Duan Mingyue said indignantly.

"Whether you deceive or not, the princess knows it in her heart." Chen Ke smiled faintly and said, "Since my Song army entered Dali, there has been another battle in Longshou Pass?" ”

"This ......" Duan Mingyue said a little sluggingly: "The truce is only temporary, and it will start at any time." ”

"When the battle will start in Shangguan, when will the army be drawn!" Chen Ke gradually said seriously: "Princess, at the beginning, your brother just said that he asked the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to save the Duan family. Since the official family has accepted your family's donation of land, we have the obligation to protect the stability of your Duan family's throne, so that your brother can rest assured. ”

"Our Duan family has paid such a big price...... Duan Mingyue has tasted the pain of begging for help, and said a little sadly: "Just get so little?" ”

"Your Duan family has paid a big price?" Chen Ke smiled dumbly and said: "Dali has four thousand miles of land, two thousand miles in eastern Yunnan belongs to the Gao family, and two thousand miles in western Yunnan belongs to the Yang family, which ones belong to your Duan family?" In addition to the false name of the lord of Dali, what else have you paid? ”

Duan Mingyue had a pretty face, and she was as ashamed as a red cloth.

"Princess, my army of the Great Song Dynasty will not go to Dali, it is also for your good." Chen Ke said earnestly: "I might as well tell you that my army claims to be 60,000, but in fact it is less than 40,000. Moreover, the labor expedition, the so-called favorable time, place and people of the soldiers, are not on our side. If the Gao Yang family is forced to join forces, the outcome is unpredictable! "...,"Can't the Great Song send more troops?" Duan Mingyue said in frustration.

"That's what I said." Chen Ke sighed slightly and said: "Two thousand miles of mountains and rivers are long, how to transport baggage?" I wanted to say that it was supplied on the spot, but your Duan family can't afford to support this army......"

"......" Duan Mingyue made Chen Ke speechless, lowering his head and crying.

"Okay, don't be sad." Chen Ke smiled comfortingly: "These 40,000 troops can at least keep your Duan family safe and sound." ”

"Will you always be stationed in Dali?" Duan Mingyue took a deep breath and looked at Chen Kedao. Her psychological quality is excellent, and she is able to adjust her emotions immediately and settle for the next best.

"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and smiled: "As long as the Gao family can afford it." ”

"They can afford it, and seventy percent of Dali's taxes are in their hands." Thinking of the extremely heavy burden that the Gao family had carried since then, Duan Mingyue became happy.

"Cry for a while, laugh for a while, shame on you." Chen Ke laughed and said, "Mingyue, go back and tell your brother." I have inspected along the way, if the Beipan River and Hongshui River waterways can be dredged, so that the boats of the Great Song Dynasty can go up the river, it will naturally be a different scene. ”

"Repair the Red Water River?" Duan Mingyue's heart was pounding, if the transportation between him and the Great Song Dynasty was really convenient, the Duan family would have an iron backer. When the time comes, with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the Gao family or the Yang family, they can only be honest...... Regardless of being shy, he asked a little excitedly, "How long will it take?" ”

"It's only a year and a half." Chen Ke said with a smile.

"How much does it cost, how many people do you use?" Duan Mingyue knew Chen Ke's temperament too well, and knew that there was no lunch for money in his place. However, she learned to be obedient this time, and knew that with Chen Ke, she had to finalize it word by word.

"The preliminary estimate is 100,000 people, 100,000 gold." Chen Ke said slowly: "Start construction now, and it will be navigable next spring." ”

"If the people are in charge, my Duan family can pay 20,000." Duan Mingyue thought about it, gritted her teeth and said, "One hundred thousand gold, the Duan family can also give half of it." ”

"I know that your family is tight, so I don't need you to go out of your house." Chen Ke waved his hand and said, "Let your brother, just assign the Dongchuan area to the Great Song Dynasty as a military restricted area." ”

"That's no problem," Duan Mingyue chuckled, "But I can make it clear to you, Dongchuan can now be controlled by the Gao family." ”

&nbs

p; "It's fine." Chen Ke smiled slightly and said, "I will ask the Gao family." ”――
