Chapter Eighty-Seven: Donglai Dispatches Troops
Xu Zhi waited for three or four days, and finally met a fellow, and under the guidance of this fellow, he entered Tao Zijie's bachelor's mansion!
Tao Zijie met Xu Zhi in a side hall.
"Sit." Tao Zijie said to Xu Zhi.
"Thank you, sir!" After Xu Zhi sat down, he quietly waited for Tao Zijie's question.
"I understand your intentions, but Donglai has never had any conflict with North Vietnam, and I am afraid it is inappropriate to send troops rashly." Tao Zijie said.
"Lord Tao, I don't know that the eldest prince was framed by a traitor, and he had to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch. Although we are in a difficult situation now, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers with armor, and they can still fight, just to end the war as soon as possible and no longer let the people of Li suffer from the war, they will come to your country to borrow troops. I hope Master Tao knows. Xu Zhi said.
Looking at Xu Zhi, who was sitting there neither humble nor arrogant, Tao Zijie sighed in his heart, it was a pity that such a talent followed Situ Lin.
"In this way, the prince of your country still cherishes the people very much." Tao Zijie said.
"Our prince naturally loves the people like a son." Xu Zhi looked at Tao Zijie and said.
"In this case, Lord Xu's trip, what is the eldest prince's request?" Tao Zijie asked.
Xu Zhi is a smart person, as soon as Tao Zijie said this, Xu Zhi knew in his heart that he was asking about the conditions for sending troops.
"Don't worry, Lord Tao, the eldest prince has already considered that all the money, food, and military resources sent by your country will be supplied by our side!" Xu Zhi looked at Tao Zijie after speaking.
Tao Zijie drank the tea slowly, without words.
"Also, if your country can help us achieve victory, all the ten cities that are connected to the country of North Vietnam and the country of Donglai will be assigned to the country of Donglai!" Xu Zhi threw out a killer idea.
Tao Zijie put down the teacup and said, "This is not a trivial matter, I have to enter the palace to meet our king." ”
"Lord Tao, the military situation is urgent, I hope that your Excellency will recover as soon as possible!" Xu Zhi said.
"You come back at this time tomorrow, okay or not, I will definitely give you an answer!" After Tao Zijie finished speaking, he sent off the guests.
Princess Changping, Xiaoyu Yanran and Zixi sat together and discussed.
"It's the same if you want more or less, and I'll promise him tomorrow!" Said with a smile.
"If you promise, you must agree, no matter how late it is, it is estimated that Situ Lin will be destroyed!" Zixi said.
"It still has to be done, as soon as you open your mouth, there are ten cities, and if you want three or five, you will probably agree. When the time comes, whether it is ten or fifteen, as long as you want to regret it, it will be the same! Princess Changping said: "Tomorrow you should make a show, let the Orion they prepare, and set off directly tomorrow!" ”
The next day, Xu Zhi got the answer he wanted in Tao Zijie's mansion, although five more cities were added. But a day later, the 150,000 troops of Dong Lai Kingdom marched directly to North Vietnam with him!
As soon as this army entered the North Vietnamese country, it fought with the vanguard of the second prince, and in the first battle, the vanguard of the second prince was defeated and fled!
Later, after the second prince's army arrived, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and the victory was half the victory. The war has entered into a protracted confrontation.
This kind of protracted war is extremely costly. Gradually, the eldest prince felt the financial difficulties, so the eldest prince sent people to the camp of the Donglai army, hoping that the Donglai country could increase its troops and solve the battle as soon as possible!
The generals of the Donglai State army simply ignored it. So Xu Zhi once again stepped into the territory of Donglai Kingdom!
Under the mediation of Tao Zijie, Xu Zhi borrowed 100,000 troops from Donglai at the cost of fifteen cities.
Led by the army of 250,000 Donglai Kingdom, the army of the eldest prince began to counterattack! Finally defeated the main force of the second prince in the battle of Daling Mountain! Homeopathic all the way south, into the hinterland of the North Vietnamese Kingdom!
The second prince fled all the way south and finally ran back to the royal city of Beiyue.
And at this time, there was a news that everyone didn't expect. Situ Zhan, the king of North Vietnam, is slowly recovering! And it can be a director of the court gradually!
In order not to bother Situ Zhan, the queen wrote to Situ Lin privately, hoping that he could stop the war. What you have done before, you can ignore it!
But at this time, Situ Lin was already difficult to ride a tiger. The group of civil and military generals under his command are all waiting for their victory to be added to the knighthood! And today's form is also very good! Situ Feng was also beaten by himself and was powerless! Stopping at this time is also very bad for yourself! And whether the father is really getting better, or if there is something else, I don't know! So Situ Lin didn't pay attention to his mother's meaning at all. Continue to command the army to kill the royal city!
So the news of Situ Lin's army could no longer be hidden, but what was strange was that Situ Zhan was not too surprised when he found out, but he personally sent a letter to Situ Lin.
After Situ Lin read the letter, he called several of his henchmen over and read the letter to them one by one.
"Lord, the king said that you should return to the royal city, the same as before, and there is no mention of the matter of establishing the prince?" A general said.
"At this time, we are winning one after another, and it is unknown to take the royal city. However, if the king has really improved, it is difficult to say whether our army will dare to continue to attack the royal city if he ascends to the top and shouts at that time! Tu Shaoxiong said.
"It's okay, our army doesn't dare to continue the attack, isn't there still an army from Donglai?" Xu Zhi said: "At this time, we must not stop, and the eldest prince cannot return to the royal city!" ”
"Wang Cheng, naturally I won't go back, but if we don't obey my father's will, we will really become rebels at that time!" Situ Lin said with some hesitation.
"What's so hard about that! Whether this letter was written by the king himself remains to be verified, not to mention that even if it is written by the king himself, is it the will of the king himself, or is it forced by others? Xu Zhi said very seriously.
Situ Lin thought about it, Xu Zhi made a lot of sense! So he nodded.
Xu Zhi continued: "And the purpose of our army this time is to clear the monarch's side, not to set up a new monarch, how can we say that the rebels are coming!" ”
Situ Lin was originally afraid of being accused of being a rebel, but when he heard Xu Zhiyi say it, the stone in his heart was finally put down! So he said: "This king's handwritten letter is obviously not the father's intention!" My father once sent a decree to let me return to the fiefdom, and I was not allowed to enter the palace unless I was edicted. Now let me go back to the royal city as before, how could it be the king's original intention to go back on his word like this? It's clear that someone is holding the king hostage! We have to get a few more speeds to catch the traitors around the king! ”
"That's right! Hurry up! Catch the traitor! The people in the tent shouted.
Situ Lin looked at the excited people in the big tent, and secretly thought in his heart, father and queen mother, I'm sorry! But don't worry, even if I attack the royal city, it will never be against you!
