Eastern part of Dali.

In the territory of the Luo Palace.

A fierce battle is taking place.

Luo Dian has been passed down for a long time, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Zhuge Liang conquered the Southern Barbarians, he was crowned the king of Luo Dian, and it has been passed down for 800 years, belonging to the buffer zone between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali.

For this civil strife in Dali, they are watching from the wall, and they do not help each other.

Therefore, Duan Yanqing took this as an escape path, which was a smart choice.

However, seeing that it was not far from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the rebel troops under Yang Yizhen suddenly killed.

The royal guards, who were killed and wounded to less than 100 people, had to fight hard.

Duan Yanqing, the crown prince who was protected by them in the middle, was also armed with a long sword and engaged the enemy in close combat.

He was ragged and scarred, his left arm hung down, and a wound of flesh was turned open, and the bones were visible.

In just half a month, this prince has changed from a prince with red lips and white teeth and a graceful demeanor to the miserable appearance he is now, which can be described as heaven and earth.

Seeing that there were more and more enemies and there was no hope of breaking through, the loyal guards could only cover Duan Yanqing and fight and retreat.

"Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah~"

It's so good that you can't die, and at this moment, the ugly cries of crows came from afar.

The other guards all showed a look of despair, and Duan Yanqing looked there instead.

"My father once said that the crow will report the evil, and the magpie will report the good news, but the evil can be avoided, and the good news can only be rejoiced......"

"Therefore, the crow is close to loyalty, but the magpie is close to the crow, only people are willing to hear happy events, unwilling to accept the evil, will hate the crow and choose the magpie!"

Duan Yanqing didn't know why, he could still think so much at this juncture, the long sword in his hand was raised, and he shouted: "Go over there!" ”

In the film and television, at the critical moment, the leader raised his arms and shouted, and the people were angry and fought their way out of the encirclement.

But in reality, Duan Yanqing raised his arms and shouted, the target was really obvious, and the rebels subconsciously aimed, swishing a round of arrow rain.

Duan Yanqing swung his sword and swept away several of them, and with a miserable scream, he was shot in the knee by an arrow.

He hugged his legs and burst into tears, slapping the ground desperately in pain: "I hate crows!" I hate crows! ”

Fortunately, there were guards who supported his arms left and right, raised and rushed, and at this time he was desperate, and he really had to flee to where the crow was.

But when they actually fled there, they were surprised to find that it was a gourd-shaped valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"There is no end to the road!"

"Stick to this place, the commander has entered the Song realm for help, the prince is here, and the Great Song Dynasty will send troops to save us!"

……

……

"Duan Yanqing, the prince of Dali, sent a request for help, asking us to send troops on the same day, how to do it?"

In the palace, Yang Xing, Shen Qi, Huang Shang and a group of officials were discussing the matter of asking for help.

The leadership team held a meeting.

The news of the civil strife in Dali has already been reported to Kaifeng.

It's just that the communication is slow in this era, and the capital has not yet responded.

Originally, this was nothing, Guangxi was preparing for war, just waiting for the order to be issued, whether to send troops or wait and see, and to carry out it.

But now, the prince of Dali is in charge of the guard, and he came with a secret book and a seal, complained bitterly to the lord of the minister, begged the Great Song Dynasty to be his master, and sent troops to rescue Duan Yanqing, who was trapped in the Luo Palace.

This is hesitant, after all, saving people is like fighting fire, and by the time the capital gives an order, Duan Yanqing will have already died without a place to be buried.

And looking at the secret book, Yang Xing's face changed.

The pacification envoy was a general along the border, in charge of the army and the people, and as the highest commander guarding the border, he was moved.

First, this kind of humble pleading greatly increased the face of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was also the responsibility of the kingdom to set things right for the vassal state, and it was justifiable.

Second, Dali is in chaos, which does have an impact on the Great Song Dynasty.

Not to mention the trade of materials such as horses and minerals in Dali, Dali has eight prefectures, four counties, four towns, and 37 departments, and the jurisdiction is actually not small, far above Jiaozhi, if there is a king who does not believe in Buddhism, and works hard, it may pose a threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

This is not alarmist, the current territory of Dali was Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty, and it clashed with the army of the Tang Dynasty several times and achieved victory, although there are no descendants of Nuwa in it, but it should not be underestimated.

Who can guarantee that after the traitor Yang Yizhen ascends to the throne, he will not change the domestic atmosphere, integrate the hundred ethnic groups, and become another Nanzhao?

Third, it's military merit.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the life of military generals was sad enough, if they didn't fight at all, then what was the meaning of their existence?

Not to mention military generals, some civilian officials also want to fight.

As mentioned earlier, the return of the military general's expansion of territory is not as great as the benefit of a civil official examination for a jinshi, this is the implicit deformed rule of the Song Dynasty, but what about the civil official to expand the territory?

Naturally, it is an increase in official and knighthood, and it is infinitely glorious.

Yang Xing, as a pacification envoy along the way, can actually be ranked among the top fifty people in the civil official sequence.

And the people call the economic strategy a minister, exaggeration is an exaggeration, but he really has ambition to be a prime minister.

With his qualifications, it is impossible to advance to this point, and if you want to enter the center and become the prime minister, the only way to establish military merits is to establish military merits.

Let him go to war with Western Xia and Da Liao, he will never dare, even if it is the ferocious Jiaozhi, he is terrified.

But Dali......

Yang Xing looked at Shen Qi, Shen Qi also fought the main battle, and looked back, tacitly.

Huang Shang watched coldly and shook his head secretly.

He doesn't understand military affairs and doesn't know how to lead troops into battle, but he knows a truth, the main battle does not mean correct.

For example, when Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan played against Li Yuanhao in Western Xia, Han Qi was the main attacker, and Fan Zhongyan was the main defender, and the main guard was not afraid at that time, but because it was cold in February, and the Song army was not used to fighting in severe cold weather.

It's a pity that Song Renzong listened to Han Qi's main attack suggestion, what was the result?

Almost all wiped out!

The dignified Song Dynasty was defeated by the small Western Xia state, and finally relied on Fan Zhongyan to hold it, and Li Yuanhao could no longer go deeper, so the two countries began to negotiate.

At that time, Han Qi was demoted in a fiasco, but in all fairness, he still had some ability, and now Shen Qi is much inferior to Han Qi, but he still thinks that he is both civil and military, and he will win the battle.

Hehe!

Seeing Huang Shang sipping tea slowly, Shen Qi asked, "What does Huang Yun want?" ”

Huang Shangdao: "I have just arrived, and I obey the orders. ”

Shen Qi smiled and said: "However, Sanyuan's palace examination paper can't be seen as a newcomer, and he has analyzed the current situation of Guangnan West Road very well, including foreign affairs with Jiaozhi and Dali, why is he unwilling to contribute to the stability of my border now?" ”

It sounds like a joke, but in this case, there is malice.

Before the other officials could react, Yang Xing's eyes flashed with a look of watching the show.

Shen Qi was afraid that he thought that this person was only favored by the new emperor in order to achieve a high position at a young age, and he wanted to use the prestige of the chief official to suppress it.

He is well-informed, and even the prime minister has been overwhelmed, and this three-yuan leader must not be treated as a junior.

Therefore, he will not fight Huang Shang head-on, but will only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, balancing left and right.

Sure enough, Huang Shang raised his eyebrows and put down the teacup: "My original intention is to wait for the order, don't move lightly, Dali's civil strife this time, I'm afraid it has been planned for a long time, and it is not a good strategy to send troops in a hurry, but it is just a loyal word, I am afraid that in Shen Yun's ears, it will be a cowering word!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and everyone became excited.

Young and vigorous, this is a bar!

Shen Qi was naturally furious, he was a transfer envoy, as the chief official of Huang Shang, he was so confronted, if he couldn't be subdued, how could he have any prestige at all?

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, ready to quote the classics, and refuted Huang Shang to the fullest, an inexplicable sense of depression suddenly came to his heart.

It's as if going back to decades ago, he did bad things in the school, and he could only stretch out his hand and be punished for the nervousness and uneasiness he had when he faced his husband.

The literary qi in his body was aroused, and the memories came flooding back, and what he did for the official queen was contrary to the way of the gentleman he had learned, which made him even more ashamed.

"Huh?"

Yang Xing was expecting a scolding battle, but he didn't expect Shen Qi's face to be pale and uncertain, so he actually kept silent.

Cowardly?

It doesn't make sense!

You've been a speech official, and you're the best at spraying people!

Hurry up and give full play to your strengths!

Under the shocked eyes of the provincial party committee, Huang Shang picked up the teacup again, leaned back, and slowly tasted tea.

What is Wenqu Xing?

The master of the temperament!

I don't care about the military attaché.

Civil officials, even prime ministers, don't want to be presumptuous in front of me!

If you say that it is forbidden to speak, it will be forbidden for you to speak!
