Chapter 419: Attacking the Dragon Head Pass

"The official family of the Great Song Dynasty greets His Majesty Dali!"

In the Dali Imperial Palace, under the watchful eye of the Dali monarchs and ministers, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty were not afraid and polite.

"Soldiers are coming to the city! That's how the Great Song official family greeted? ”

Duan Zhengchun hadn't spoken yet, and Gao Taiming, who had a fiery personality, said angrily.

Because of the intervention of the Great Song Dynasty, the entire Shanxian Mansion was breached, and the foundation of the Gao family was destroyed, and Gao Taiming naturally hated the Great Song Dynasty.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty sneered: "If it weren't for the Gao family's plot to usurp the throne and endanger the dynasty, how could the Great Song Dynasty send troops to support justice." ”

Gao Taiming suddenly became angry, he didn't expect that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty would be in the Dali court

Gao Shengtai said coldly: "Dali's affairs, it's not the turn of Dasong to interfere!" ”

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty said proudly: "My Great Song Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and Dali is a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Duan Zhengchun's face was embarrassed suddenly, if it weren't for the intervention of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the Gao family would not easily return the imperial power to the Duan family, but the Great Song Dynasty was also well-intentioned, and with the help of the civil strife in Dali, the Great Song Dynasty had the momentum of annexing Dali.

Duan Zhengchun coughed dryly and said: "Since the Prime Minister has returned the throne to the Duan family, whether the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers can withdraw from the army, I am willing to give a heavy gift and thank you!" ”

Duan Zhengchun played a round road, although the Duan clan has usurped power, but after all, he has made an oath to return the power to the Duan clan, and the Song army that the army is pressing the border is the biggest enemy of Dali, for this reason, Duan Zhengchun finally advanced and retreated with the Gao clan.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty sighed: "Haven't Dali read the history books, and the words of the rebellious ministers and thieves like the Gao family can also be believed, not to mention the extremely ridiculous oath of Cangshan and Erhai, Sima Yi also made the oath of Luoshui, but the result is not to turn his face and take Cao Wei's country." ”

The Dali court is even more embarrassed, they are not the head of the 36 departments of eastern Yunnan who know little about the history of the Great Song Dynasty, almost all the courtiers are proficient in the Great Song Dynasty culture, and naturally understand the oath of Sima Yi and Luoshui, in contrast, who can guarantee that as soon as the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty leave, the Gao family, who controls the military and political power of Dali, will not immediately turn his face, just like Sima Yi will seek to usurp the throne.

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but look embarrassed, the problem was that he was also bottomless.

Gao Taiming was furious and said: "The little envoy actually provoked the relationship between my monarch and ministers, came to kill the Song envoy, and avenged my Song army for killing my people in Dali." ”

At that moment, a team of soldiers rushed to the court, ready to push the Great Song envoy out of the palace and kill him!

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty laughed and said: "It seems that the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to the right place, the Dali court has long been the world of the Gao family, and without the nod of His Majesty Dali, he actually killed the envoys of the two countries in the court." ”

Gao Taiming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty would be so sharp-tongued that they would die between the Duan clan and the Gao clan.

Duan Zhengchun suddenly said with a displeased face: "The two armies are not fighting, General Gao should not be impulsive." ”

Gao Shengtai's heart sank, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty have killed countless people in Dali, and now there are soldiers in Dali, with the intention of annexing Dali, and please ask Your Majesty to order the Song envoy to be killed, to avenge the people of Dali, in order to set the hearts of the army!" ”

Gao Shengtai was old and spicy, and immediately understood that Duan Zhengchun was unwilling to kill the Song envoy, even if the Great Song Dynasty attacked Dali City in the future, the Duan family would have a way out, and the left and right were just puppets from the Gao family to puppets of the Great Song Dynasty!

However, the Gao family had no way out, only to kill the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and coerce Duan Zhengchun and Dali to fight against the Great Song Dynasty together.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty naturally understood Gao Shengtai's plan, and said at the moment: "The situation of Lord Gao can be understood below, in the history books of the Han people, there are countless examples of powerful ministers dying without a place to be buried, if I am Lord Gao, I will not dare to give up the power in my hands easily." ”

Gao Shengtai suddenly twitched his face, and the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty directly scraped off the faces of Duan Zhengchun and the Gao family directly above the court.

Duan Zhengchun also looked pale and sneered, just as he doubted in his heart whether the Gao family would usurp power again, the Gao family also had doubts, in case the Duan family took power in the future, I am afraid that the Gao family would be liquidated, after all, no one dared to gamble their lives on the thoughts of others.

The courtiers of Dali in the Manchu Dynasty were silent, everyone understood this truth, but no one said it in public, and now the window paper was broken by the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty in public.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty laughed and said: "And the Great Song Dynasty came to solve the troubles of the Duan family and the Gao family, as long as you wait for the opening of the city, the Great Song Dynasty will be the guarantee, so that you and others can end this dispute between monarchs and ministers with dignity." ”

Duan Zhengchun suddenly felt excited, the Duan family is now the puppet of the Gao family's father and son, it can be said that the day is not safe, since this is the case, why not surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, maybe you can save the Duan family.

Gao Shengtai suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and said: "I will wait for Kaicheng to surrender and let the Great Song annex Dali, this is the plan of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Up to now, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty did not shy away from it, and said directly: "The shore of the land, it is not the king's land, the Great Song Dynasty needs to gather all its strength to deal with Liaoxia, and now it has been Lianke Qingtang Tubo, it is impossible to let Dali in the rear of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the future, Dali will be merged into the Great Song Dynasty, all of you are ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the Gao family will be reused by the imperial court." ”

Now the ministers of Dali nodded slightly, they had expected this, Fan Zheng was a courtier, so naturally it was the same for anyone's courtier.

Duan Zhengchun is a puppet emperor, he has never really controlled the power, and he does not have too much attachment to the throne, but the father and son of the Gao family are struggling, the Gao family is the real master of Dali, not to mention that Gao Shengtai once usurped the throne, and has already regarded Dali as his own bag, once surrendered, the real loss is the Dali Gao family.

Gao Shengtai laughed loudly: "The Gao family has been a Dali courtier for generations, and he would rather die than be a Song courtier. ”

"Think twice!" Duan Zhengchun hurriedly persuaded him.

Now Dali City has been attacked by the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the day is not safe, if the Great Song Dynasty envoys are killed, and the city is broken in the future, I am afraid that it will attract the revenge of the Song army.

Gao Shengtai said proudly: "The old minister knows that His Majesty does not believe in me, but His Majesty must believe in the old minister's heart for Dali, this matter the old minister will dictate the dynasty once, if this battle is repelled by the Song army, the old minister ordered the Gao family to completely return power, and be loyal to the Duan family for generations, if this battle fails, the anger of the Song army will be on the old man alone, and will not implicate you." ”

"Your Excellency!"

The monarchs and ministers of Dali couldn't help but exclaim, and looked at Gao Shengtai with a resolute face with a complicated face.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but panic in his heart, he didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty had already attacked Dali City from the north and south, and Gao Shengtai would dare to kill him.

"Gao Shengtai, my Great Song 100,000 army is under the city of Dali, if you move in the next hair, you can't afford the consequences." The Great Song envoy sneered.

Gao Shengtai sneered: "Longshou Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since it was built, it has never been breached, and the 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty were wiped out under Longshou Pass, not to mention, the powerful Song Dynasty, I Dali will win this battle." ”

At the moment, Gao Taiming couldn't wait to suppress the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and wanted to directly kill the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty and completely tie the monarchs and ministers of Dali to Gao's chariot.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and at the moment of life and death, he suddenly became wise in a hurry, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Even if the Longshou Pass has never been breached, what about the Longshou Pass?" It is said that it was only broken by the state of Bagan, which was only tens of thousands of people, and signed an alliance with Dali under the city. ”

"Longwei Pass!"

Gao Taiming's actions couldn't help but stagnate, Longwei Pass was broken by the Bagan Dynasty in the south decades ago, and attacked the city of Dali, forcing the Dali royal family to sign the alliance under the city, and paid a heavy price to let the Bagan State withdraw its troops.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty saw that there was an opportunity, and hurriedly said: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng is now leading 200,000 troops to Longwei Pass, and his actions are extremely evil, only Zeng Bu's privy envoy can restrain him, since the Gao family is willing to be the lonely minister of Dali, then he is also willing to be the lonely minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but if the 200,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty invade the Longwei Pass, without the restraint of the Zeng Privy Envoy, I am afraid that everyone in the entire Dali City will not be spared." ”

"No one was spared!"

The entire Dali monarchs and ministers couldn't help but chill, they always knew that the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty pursued a state of etiquette, even if Dali killed the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the city was broken, they surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and they would definitely be able to save themselves.

However, the evil doctor Fan Zheng was not, although the Song army, like the North Route Army and the West Route Army, did not take the initiative to kill in addition to breaking the city, but it coerced a large number of barbarians, connived at its burning, killing and looting, and created boundless killings along the way, so that the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng stopped children crying in Dali.

"Think twice, general!"

"It has been a rule since ancient times that two armies will not fight each other."

A group of Dali courtiers were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly dissuaded them, if Gao Taiming killed the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the future, the evil doctor Fan Zheng broke through the Longwei Pass and connived at 200,000 bandits to loot Dali City, I am afraid that none of them would be spared.

"Impossible, Longwei Pass has indeed been breached, but that is because Dali is in civil strife and the garrison is insufficient, which gave Bagan a chance, after this battle, Dali has already strengthened Longwei Pass, which is by no means human power!" Gao Tai Mingse said sharply.

Dali has already paid a huge price, and finally made up for the weakness of Longwei Pass, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng only has 30,000 Song troops, and the others are all rabble, so it is impossible to follow the evil doctor Fan Zheng to die under Longwei Pass.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty sighed faintly: "He is the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and his evil prescription has never been defeated. ”

The monarchs and ministers of Dali couldn't help but be silent, even if they were in Dali, they still had a good reputation for the evil doctor Fan Zhengjiu.

Seeing that the use of evil doctor Fan Zheng to intimidate was effective, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty said in his heart: "That's right! Because the evil doctor Fan Zheng Dali took the initiative to withdraw from the army, the Song army was able to reach the Longshou Pass smoothly, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng could have sent a messenger to persuade him to surrender? ”

Gao Taiming's face couldn't help but change, and he scolded angrily: "You are a dying person, and you dare to inquire about the military situation!" ”

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty was not afraid and said: "I am already a dying person, can't I satisfy my curiosity." ”

Gao Taiming and Gao Shengtai glanced at each other, the latter nodded slowly, the Great Song envoys wanted to get information from them, and they also wanted to get information from the Dali envoys, the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Gao Taiming nodded and said: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng led 200,000 horses and horses to be stationed outside Dali City, and he did not persuade him to surrender, nor did he attack the city!" ”

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty sneered: "How much does 200,000 horses eat and drink every day, and I think Dali will definitely be strong and clear, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng will definitely not get too much grain and grass, but the evil doctor Fan Zheng is not in a hurry, not only did he use 200,000 troops to force Dali to surrender, nor did he use the numerical advantage to attack the city in one fell swoop!" Why? Don't you think it's strange? ”

Dali Junchen suddenly gasped, they saw that the evil doctor Fan Zheng did not attack the city on a large scale, and they were secretly happy, but after the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, they found out how strange the evil doctor Fan Zheng's actions were.

"Then why do you think Evil Doctor Fan Zheng is like this!" Duan Zhengchun asked eagerly.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty smiled bitterly: "No one in the world can guess the actions of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, only when his evil prescription comes out, the world can only marvel at it." ”

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty did not have the slightest bias in his words, but said from the bottom of his heart that the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription had never been defeated, and it was incredible.

Gao Shengtai's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, immediately strengthen the defense of Longwei Pass, and focus on guarding against the gunpowder weapons of the evil doctor Fan Zheng." ”

In the eyes of Dali Junchen, the evil doctor Fan Zheng wants to break through the Longwei Pass, and I am afraid that the most powerful force is the gunpowder weapon.

At that moment, Gao Taiming received the order, looked at the Great Song envoy who was about to be beheaded, frowned, and said, "Father, what should the Song envoy do." ”

Gao Shengtai frowned, looked at the expectant gaze of the Manchu monarchs and ministers, and finally compromised: "The two armies will not fight and send them out of Longshou Pass, and tell the Song army that my Dali will never surrender." ”

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to feel cold sweat on his back, he originally thought that he was going to die, but he actually picked up a life with the help of the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

However, he looked at Gao Taiming's figure leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help sneering, if the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription can be cracked by you, then there will be no evil doctor Fan Zheng's great reputation.

Seeing the safe return of the envoy, Zeng Bu couldn't wait to ask: "Have the Dali monarchs ever been willing to surrender?" ”

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty shook his head and said: "Duan Zhengchun seems to have the intention of surrendering, and the Gao father and son resolutely did not surrender, in a vain attempt to kill the lower officials, and strengthen the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty monarchs and ministers to resist the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty is still apprehensive, and from now on, he will definitely respect the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Zeng Bu and Chong Pu Yaoxiong couldn't help frowning when they heard the performance of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, they naturally knew that with the current power of the gunpowder weapons of the Great Song Dynasty, they might not be able to break through such dangerous passes as the Dragon Head Pass and the Dragon Tail Pass, even if they added sugar.

"We can't guess Fan Taicheng's evil side, the only thing we can do at the moment is to attack Longshou Pass and contain Dali's forces." Chong Pu said with a solemn face.

Zeng Bu nodded and said: "Maybe Fan Zheng is bluffing, and his real intention is to set up a maze and deliberately paralyze the enemy, waiting for the Central Route Army and the Western Route Army to break through the city." ”

In his opinion, Fan Zheng was a rabble, and the elite Song army he led was all in the elite Song army, and the gunpowder weapons possessed by the evil doctor Fan Zheng were also only a lot more in his army.

And Zeng Bu was quite unconvinced, among the three road army, he led the most soldiers, and walked the smoothest north road, but who would have thought that Fan Zheng would pass all the way from the east road and take the lead in attacking Dali City.

If Fan Zheng is allowed to take the lead in breaking the city, then he will be disgraced.

"Break through the dragon's first level!"

Zeng Bu waved his hand and ordered to the dragon head pass, Chong Pu and Yao Xiong have the strange plan of the Song Dynasty, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng has a clever plan to cut off the belly, and Zeng Bu will break through the dragon head pass that has never been broken to complete his great feat.
