Gao family!

Looking at Gao Taiming, who died by suicide, the monarchs and ministers of Dali all had complicated thoughts.

Everyone knows that the father and son of the Gao family are powerful ministers, seeking to usurp the throne and monopolize power, but in the face of the large-scale invasion of the Song army, it is the Gao family that resists the most resolutely.

The fall of Shanxian Mansion, the foundation of the Gao family was destroyed, Gao Shengtai exhausted the last drop of effort to resist the Song army, and Gao Taiming killed himself.

Are the Gao family father and son loyal or traitorous! At this moment, the monarchs and ministers of Dali can't tell the difference.

Even Zeng Bu hesitated when he saw this scene, the name of their attack on Dali was to crusade against the Gao clan and return the Duan clan to the throne of Dali, but the performance of the Gao family today put the Great Song in a dilemma.

"What a strong man!"

Suddenly, a voice resounded throughout the audience, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Zeng Bu frowned, followed the prestige, and found that it was the evil doctor Fan Zheng who praised Gao Taiming.

Zeng Bu's anger flashed in his heart, Fan Zheng thought that Gao Taiming was a strong man, wouldn't it be wrong to deny that the Great Song Dynasty sent troops.

However, Fan Zheng didn't seem to see Zeng Bu's questioning eyes, but said in a loud voice: "Such a loyal person, even if the Great Song official family hears about it, he will definitely give a big reward, and the last general will implore the privy envoy to bury the father and son of the Gao family." ”

In the face of Fan Zheng's strange behavior, the Song generals did not overreact, after all, the evil doctor Fan Zheng's strange behavior is known to everyone.

Zeng Bu also slowly calmed down his anger and began to reflect slightly.

Suddenly, Zeng Bu looked at Duan Zhengchun, who was the leader, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and understood Fan Zheng's intention to do the opposite and praise Gao Shengtai's father and son.

Gao Shengtai father and son did not hesitate to die for Dali, such deeds even if they were foreign enemies can not help but be in awe, before this the Great Song Dynasty did attack Dali on the grounds of crusading against Gao, and its main spearhead naturally pointed to the Gao family father and son.

And now that the city of Dali has fallen, the Gao father and son have been ambushed, the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty naturally has to make corresponding changes, after all, the purpose of the Great Song Dynasty is to occupy Dali, and now the elevation of the Gao father and son will naturally weaken the authority of the Duan family, after all, the Gao father and son are dead, and giving the dead a false name does not affect the authority of the Great Song Dynasty at all.

At this moment, it is in the current interests of the Great Song Dynasty to elevate the Gao clan, weaken the orthodox status of the Duan clan's rule, and divide Dali internally.

Thinking of this, Zeng Bu cooperated: "My Great Song Dynasty admires loyal ministers the most, the Gao family's father and son are not loyal to the Duan family, but to the entire Dali, the Gao family is so loyal to the Great Song Dynasty official family will definitely be rewarded when they learn about it, and they will bury the Gao family and his son!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, Song Jun stepped forward to collect the corpses of the Gao family's father and son.

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but feel embarrassed, Da Song's operation like this suddenly made his position extremely embarrassing.

"The Great Song Dynasty official family is merciful, Xiao Wang is willing to abdicate automatically, and I also ask the privy envoy to save the people of Dali City." Duan Zheng said respectfully, looking at the Eastern Route Army of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, he couldn't help but flash a trace of fear.

Duan Zhengchun didn't expect that it was not the Song army that killed the most ruthlessly, but the 36 departments of Eastern Yunnan in Southwest Yi and Dali, and the Eastern Route Army came all the way east, and the entire hinterland of Dali was destroyed.

And the North Route Army went all the way south, and the privy envoy Zeng Bu suppressed and appeased him, but the people of Dali who lost it can be said to be negligible, and if they want to keep the Bai people in Dali, they can only look up to Zeng Bu, if they let the southwest tribes abuse in Dali City, I am afraid that the entire Bai people will be wiped out.

Zeng Bu saw Duan Zhengchun so cooperative, nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's natural, my Song Jun is the king's teacher, but the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can I make indiscriminate killings and pass on the order, from now on, Song Junqiu has nothing to do, don't disturb the people!" ”

"Yes!"

A group of Song generals received orders one after another.

"The last general obeys!"

In the face of the order of the privy envoy Zeng Bu, even Fan Zheng could only bow down and receive the order.

Seeing Fan Zheng cooperate like this, Zeng Bu couldn't help but regret slightly, Fan Zheng's Eastern Route Army plundered all the way and committed heinous crimes, if Fan Zheng dared to object, he could take the opportunity to cure Fan Zheng's crime and completely erase his credit for breaking the Dali Kingdom.

At that moment, Fan Zheng waved his hand and ordered the Eastern Route Army to withdraw from Dali City and station outside Dali City.

"General Fan! We finally broke through Dali City and made monstrous contributions, how could the Great Song Dynasty treat the heroes like this? The Eastern Route Army withdrew outside Dali, and Meng Ti of the Momi Department was greatly dissatisfied.

Fan Zheng's face turned cold when he heard this: "The privy envoy Zeng Bunai is an important member of the first rank of the imperial court, and Fan is just a fifth-grade official, and he only received the title of the fourth rank on this expedition, so do you think that Fan can disobey the military order of the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty?" You are not trying to harm Fan. ”

Don't look at Fan Zheng's control of the Eastern Route Army, and he is a popular person around the Great Song Dynasty officials, but Zeng Bu, as a privy envoy, controls the military power of the Great Song Dynasty, which is naturally not something that Fan Zheng's small Sipin General can resist.

Seeing that Fan Zheng was angry, Monty suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Don't you dare to go down?" ”

Fan Zheng said coldly: "This way of looting all the departments have made a windfall, before entering Dali City, you don't have to say that you didn't take the opportunity to loot, otherwise you can't capture the small Dali Palace!" ”

The southwestern departments suddenly turned pale, and it was obvious that the evil doctor Fan Zheng had said that he was in his mind.

"Besides, now that the Gao clan has been destroyed, and the biggest threat to you has been lifted, it can be said that you kill two birds with one stone, so don't be greedy." Fan Zheng changed his previous pleasant face and said unceremoniously.

"General Fan taught a lesson!" Yang Changchun hurriedly bowed his head and said.

Yang Changchun understood that the current situation was not that the Song army needed them, but that they needed to rely on the snort of the Song army.

However, they are a group of rabble, coupled with the Song army's excellent equipment, and they have cold forging armor, divine arm crossbows, and invincible earth-shattering thunder, coupled with the Dali army's outright hatred for them, if they anger the Song army, I am afraid that the situation is worrying, and the only thing they can rely on at present is the friendship of fighting side by side with the evil doctor Fan Zheng along the way.

After the patriarchs left, Yang Bangyi couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "This group of barbarians simply doesn't know how to raise their heads, and they dare to question the general!" ”

Fan Zheng said disapprerovingly: "The reason why barbarians are barbarians is because they are short-sighted, so they can be used by us before, and they will not pose a threat to the imperial court in the future, and the real threat is still the long-civilized white barbarians." ”

"The general is generous!" Yang Bangyi complimented.

At this moment, a herald hurriedly came and said, "General Qi Fan! The Privy Envoy has an order, please ask Fan Taicheng to discuss the military! ”

"Counseling on the military?"

Fan Zheng frowned, now that Dali City has been breached, how can there be military to discuss.

However, the official level crushed people to death, and the Great Song Privy Envoy issued an order, Fan Zheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to Dali City to discuss.

The Dali Mansion is now the military tent of Zeng Bu.

In fact, the most important place for the Song army to be stationed was the Dali Palace, and Zeng Bu placed the commander's camp in the Dali Mansion in order to avoid suspicion.

Fan Zheng met Zeng Bu, the ambitious privy envoy, and unexpectedly found that the two generals of the Western Route Army, Chong Pu and Yao Xiong, were also there.

"The last general, Fan Zheng, has seen the Privy Envoy! I've seen General Chong and General Yao! ”

Fan Zheng stepped forward and bowed.

"Don't dare, I'll see Fan Taicheng later!"

Chong Pu and Yao Xiong looked at Fan Zheng with admiration. In the army, military merit has always been the first, and Fan Zheng's first plan to disrupt the hinterland of Dali made a fussy and allowed the two armies to attack the city of Dali without much effort.

Who would have thought that Fan Zheng would descend from the sky and want to cross the evil side of the Cangshan Heavenly Danger, and the second time he directly attacked Dali City.

Let them break through the Dragon Head Pass without much effort and enter Dali City.

"Belly scheming! Fan Taicheng's tricks made the old man admire! ”

Zeng Bu glanced at Fan Zhengdao in a complicated way.

He still can't believe that Fan Zheng actually created such a miracle with 10,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 soldiers.

Fan Zheng said modestly: "The last general does not dare to take credit, if it were not for the privy envoy and the two generals to contain the main force of the Dali army, how could the last general break through to Dali City so easily." ”

Zeng Bu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now that Dali City has been broken, the Gao clan has been destroyed, and the Dali Duan clan has surrendered, the goals we set in the past have been completed, but there is still a force in the land of Dali that threatens our rule of Dali." ”

"And another force?" Chong Pu was slightly stunned, and then looked at Fan Zheng.

You must know that Fan Zheng has a coalition army of nearly 170,000 Southwest Yi and 36 Eastern Yunnan Divisions, which is an unstable factor for the Great Song Dynasty!

Fan Zheng frowned and said, "What does the privy envoy mean?" ”

Zeng Bu said with a fierce face: "This official thinks that the killing of the southwest departments is too heavy, it is better to take advantage of the fact that they are all in the Longwei Pass, we only need to close the two passes, and we will definitely be able to eliminate them in one fell swoop, which can not only win the hearts of the people of Dali, but also eliminate the troubles in the southwest, and ensure the stability of the southwest for a hundred years." ”

"Kill 170,000 southwestern barbarians in one fell swoop!" Chong Pu Yao Xiong and the others couldn't help but exclaim.

However, they thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but be slightly moved, the terrain of Dali City is too special, they can indeed close the door and fight the dogs, and wipe out the 170,000 southwest, and after this battle, the southwest departments will definitely be greatly weakened, so that the Great Song Dynasty can easily govern the southwest.

When Fan Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "The Great Song Dynasty is famous for its master, and I don't know what kind of crime the privy envoy used to kill the southwestern departments. ”

"Southwest Yi burned, killed, looted, and ran out of bamboo along the way, isn't this kind of thug punished by everyone?" Zeng Bu said sharply.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "If it weren't for the plundering of the Southwest Yi tribes all the way, with the 30,000 horses of the East Route Army, how could they easily attack Dali City, and how could they break through Dali City, they would have made a contribution to my Great Song Dynasty, if my Great Song Dynasty will take revenge, which department will be willing to fight with the Song Army in the future?" Besides, is the privy envoy willing to return to the army to kill the various departments of northern Yunnan that are dependent on the Northern Route Army? ”

Chong Pu and Yao Xiong nodded slightly, whether it was the tribes that attached to the surrendered Song army or the various tribes of the Southwest Yi, they had essentially thrown themselves into the Great Song Dynasty, if the Great Song rashly killed them, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would be completely discredited.

"Besides, there are 170,000 people in the southwest departments, that is, 170,000 pigs, I'm afraid it will take a long time to catch, although our army can close the door and beat the dogs, but the privy envoy must have heard that the dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the counterattack of the 170,000 bandits will inevitably cause some damage to the Song army, and the southwest departments killed the people of Dali, not the people of the Song Dynasty, why should we let the Song soldiers suffer losses." Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

Zeng Bu frowned and said, "Fan Taicheng also admits that these 170,000 barbarians may pose a threat to the Song army. ”

Fan Zheng said confidently: "The privy envoy is more worried, these 170,000 horses are divided into the Southwest Yi and the Thirty-six East Yunnan Divisions, the Thirty-six Eastern Yunnan Departments needless to say, the Southwest Yi Divisions are composed of four major families and various small tribes, and it is also a plate of scattered sand, although it has some force, but our army has a thunderstorm, why not be afraid of the rebellion of the Southwest Divisions, not to mention that the Southwest Divisions are familiar with the forest and mang's climate, in the future, our army will attack Bagan and open up the mouth of the Western Ocean, and it also needs the help of the Southwest Divisions, and now how can it destroy the Great Wall." ”

Seeing this, Chong Pu said: "The Song army has been fighting continuously, and it has long been overwhelmed, so it is really not suitable to start fighting again. ”

For Chong Pu, they have completed the strategy of going south, and they only need to wait for the imperial court to reward their merits, why take any more risks to fight against 170,000 southwest bandits.

"These 170,000 barbarians have plundered a lot of wealth all the way, there are rich and soldiers, if we don't get rid of the future troubles today, they will become a big disaster in the future, can Fan Taicheng bear this consequence?" Zeng preached.

Fan Zheng suddenly understood in his heart that Zeng Bu wanted to eliminate the threat in the southwest on the one hand, and on the other hand, they took a fancy to the wealth plundered by the various tribes of the southwest.

"Don't panic, the Eastern Route Army is marching all the way, and Fan Sanming of the Ministry of Commerce has led the caravan to lay out behind it, and the wealth plundered by these tribes will continue to flow into the Great Song Dynasty in a short time." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Fan Sanming of the Ministry of Commerce?"

The generals couldn't help but be surprised, no one thought that Fan Zheng had already planned to use merchants to loot the wealth of the southwest tribes little by little.

"Fan Taicheng is far-sighted, I admire it!"

Other Song generals also expressed their attitudes, Fan Zhengnai is a celebrity around the official family, and he is also the hero of the breakthrough of Dali City, since Fan Zheng is prepared, they naturally do not want to fight again.

Zeng Bu couldn't help but be greatly annoyed when he saw that the generals had supported Fan Zheng one after another, and that his last opportunity to establish his merits had been completely lost.

However, the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army are only nominally under his command, and the only real descendants are the Northern Route Army, not to mention that the other party has 170,000 horses.

Zeng Bu didn't expect that he had just robbed and destroyed the country in Dali City to no avail, and in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and he was slapped in the face too quickly.

"Since Fan Taicheng is the guarantor of the southwestern ministries, this matter is for the time being, and the next thing that needs to be discussed is how to completely bring Dali under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty." Zeng Bu finally gave up the plan, but he didn't forget to dig a pit for Fan Zheng,

In the future, there will be a rebellion in the southwestern provinces, and Fan Zheng will inevitably be inextricably linked. (End of chapter)
