Chapter Seventy-Seven: Nanqiang's Provocation
Great Qi State Palace
"Father, Dayan's army doesn't seem to be good now, what are we going to do?" Beside Dugu Zhan, stood the eldest princess Zhaoyi, who had just gotten married.
Before Dugu Zhan's conduct came to Daqi, she knew that a child of the clan who hadn't married at the age of thirty had not yet married, what did this mean? Either the notorious daughter of the clan dares to marry, or the profligate wreckage wanders around the flowers, but this Dugu Zhan seems to be neither, which makes the eldest princess Zhaoyi puzzled since she got married.
Dugu Yong's attitude towards what he just said is, of course, to turn a blind eye, and he has to wait until the day when the Great Yan Kingdom is really in crisis and runs out of food, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Of course, that's not what the regulations on the establishment of diplomatic relations with Dayan say, but who can say about them? Even if Dayan made a move when he was dissatisfied, he naturally couldn't do anything to others.
In the Dayan Palace, the Diligent Palace
"What a Southern Qiang country! It's too much of a deception! The emperor picked up the precious teacup and slammed it to the ground, making a "pop" sound.
Several ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly, telling the emperor to calm his anger. Lei Huairen and other old ministers of the two dynasties shook their heads even more, and had to kneel on the ground to think about how to solve this messy matter?
Wang Shan was even more tearful now, and said in his heart: "Nanqiang State is too deceitful, insisting that the treasure of the Nanqiang Dynasty is in the territory of my Dayan, and if I want our dynasty to send people to find it, it is just an excuse to attack Dayan, but now, we really have no one to use......"
Dayan's court structure is very deformed, the first emperor tried his best to suppress the generals to an outrageous extent, and the only soldiers that Dayan could send out to lead the troops have been trapped on the border and life and death are uncertain, what does this show? Now Nanqiang sees that Dayan has no one to lead troops, and it is not impossible to take it in one fell swoop, so he dares to make such an unreasonable request so arrogantly, the funny thing is that Dayan agreed, that is also a dead country, if he does not agree, it is also a dead country.
Most people know that the treasure of the country that Nanqiang said is probably not really made up, because when the founding emperor of Dayan laid down this country, the provinces that are now connected to Nanqiang belonged to Nanqiang before, and it is normal to have Nanqiang's imperial tombs there, but whether this is true or not, only the people of Nanqiang themselves know.
"Nanqiang deceives people too much, but my Dayan is really powerless...... "The emperor put his hand behind him and sighed, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”
There was silence in the back, there was no way, it was not that we were strong, but that we were too weak, and our combat power was not much, and now we were scattered, Dayan Kingdom, this time, is it really exhausted......
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea." At this time, Lei Huairen stood up and said respectfully, in fact, he didn't have any good ideas, but he couldn't let the court fall silent, and the people in the rear didn't know what was happening now, but if a court really retreated first, the country was really over! So his purpose is just to throw bricks and stones. "The minister thinks that now he should send someone to Xueyu Pass to guard the town, so that Nanqiang Xing will be afraid of one or two." If Dayan really poured the power of the country into making a break with Nanqiang, even Nanqiang would not be able to bear it.
"Wechen has an objection." At this time, an old man who looked short and thin stood up and said, "Weichen thinks that at this time, we should first agree to the request of the Nanqiang people, and then make a decision after General Yunde returns from the victory. The emperor thought about it and knew that he was Lord Liu, so he also nodded and made reservations.
"No, Lord Goshi, never!" Wang Shangshu said to the emperor and Lord Liu, "Your Majesty, my Dayan has been a strong country for nearly a thousand years, and I think that back then, when Emperor Taizu was in power, all the worlds came to pay tribute, and they all respected my Dayan." Although the national strength is not as great as when Emperor Taizu was in power, it must not be so condescending! This Southern Qiang State is clearly slapping us in the face, if we agree to them, where is this to establish Emperor Taizu? Where are the people of the Great Swallow who set me up? Wang Shangshu's blood was boiling, and he said with tears in his eyes.
The emperor nodded and said: "What the two adults said is reasonable, if you agree, where will you establish your ancestors?" Where are the people of Lida Swallow? But if you don't agree, there are few generals in Dayan, and there is no one available, if there is another general, it must not be so passive......"
At this time, a person stood up and said to the emperor: "Father, the son is willing to lead troops to Xueyu Pass!" It turned out to be the Ten Princes.
The eldest prince gritted his teeth when he saw the ten princes who stood up and asked for his life at this time, but as the prince of the Manchu Dynasty, who was known to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, what he needed to do was not to go out to lead the troops to fight, but to give constructive suggestions, but unfortunately he didn't seem to have any talent in this area.
The emperor looked at his eldest son, who had not spoken out since the beginning, and was slightly disappointed, and remembered Nangong Han who had sent the Great Qi envoy before, shook his head slightly, and said, "Old ten, are you willing to lead troops to guard the Snow Jade Pass?"
"Erchen is willing, for the sake of the people of Dayan, Erchen will go to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not disappoint his father's expectations!" The Ten Princes said loudly, full of momentum, if he didn't know that his goal was the crown prince and the throne, he would be very moved by this filial piety.
"Then according to what Lord Lei said, first send troops to guard the Snow Jade Pass, and now even if the Nanqiang people provoke again, they must not act rashly! Old ten, you go back and prepare now, and leave for Xiaozhou today! The emperor ordered.
"The sons obey the order, and the sons will not disgrace the trust of their fathers!"
On the side of Lunxi Pass, after fighting with the chicken for several hours, Nangong Han and Yunyan were finally able to eat the chicken. After resting for a while, the two set off for the battlefield of Lunxi Guan Dayan and Xicheng.
Brushing aside the bushes on both sides, I saw the heads of Nangong Han and Yunyan both coming out, and their four eyes staring at the scene in front of them.
"Who are those?" Yunyan had never seen Dayan's military uniform, pointed to the pile of people in front of him, and asked in a low voice.
"Haven't you seen it? Those are West Adults. Nangong Han also lowered his voice, sounding like an old grandfather.
"And where's my dad?" Yunyan asked.
Nangong Han pointed to a place that looked like a city wall looming in the distance, and said: "There, the wall of Lunxi Pass is built against the mountain, which is the place where my Dayan goes deepest into Xicheng, if it is breached, Dayan will be finished."
At this time, the posture of the two people was very funny, they were both squatting behind the bushes, staring at the front with stunned eyes, and they specially lowered their voices to speak because they were afraid of being discovered, which looked interesting.
"And where can we get there?" Yun Yan asked, she didn't quite understand the maps drawn by the ancients, and this matter was usually handed over to Nangong Han.
Nangong Han took out a map, pointed to a place and said to Yun Yan: "We will take a detour from here, go around to the rear of General Yun, and look for an opportunity to break through Xicheng's soldiers."
