Chapter 892: The Inexplicable Messenger
Duan Zhengchun doesn't have the face to go to Ding**** for help, and even if he pulls down his face to beg someone, Zhao Yougong may not be able to help. There is no profit to be made, why should Ding**** put pressure on Hanzhong at this time? After a series of wars in Liaodong, the Central Plains and Guanzhong, even if the **** force is huge, it is also seriously depleted, and now it is hard to win a little time to recuperate, how can it be possible to destroy the original plan for the sake of Dali? Duan Zhengchun felt that he had failed to be a man in his life, the woman was not kept, and the country was not taken care of. Duan Yu didn't want to give up, if he didn't find **** to help, it would be difficult to get through this level.
"Father, what you think about is not wrong, but it may not be all right, if there are enough interests, Zhao Yougong will definitely be tempted. Although Sister Wan'er doesn't treat us very well, this father-daughter relationship can't be changed, and it is impossible for her to watch Dali suffer a catastrophe. Father, why don't you follow the example of Uncle Huang, as long as we take out enough benefits, we will definitely be able to! Maybe Duan Yu doesn't have much experience in governing the country, but he is naturally smart and has a lively mind, Duan Zhengchun was slightly stunned, thought about it carefully, frowned, and said, "Do you mean to let us Dali pay tribute to Ding****?" ”
"Yes, the child thinks that there is nothing shameful about this, our Dali country is small and weak, and if you want to survive, you must find a strong wing. Although the Great Song Dynasty is now in chaos and wars, the situation is still very clear, and in the end, the Great Song Dynasty is either the Zhao family or the Chai family, whether it is the Zhao family or the Chai family, we are powerless to fight. Now that the Liao people and the Jurchens in the north have all been resolved, it is impossible to toss any storms, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, and our Dali Kingdom wants to play in the chaos again, it will not be so easy, so it is better to find a party in advance to do strong reinforcements, and the domestic situation does not allow us to delay any longer, Song Jiang is ambitious, and sooner or later he will do something to Fengyu County" Duan Yu sees the situation in the world very accurately, which is also the main reason why Duan Zhengming is optimistic about Duan Yu, Duan Yu has a flexible mind and a good view of the overall situation, As long as he has the heart to be the king of Dali, he will definitely be able to govern this country well. In fact, Duan Zhengchun was deeply surprised that Duan Yu could say this, at this moment, Duan Zhengchun felt that he might not really understand this son, perhaps, the previous experience made this fun-loving child grow up.
Several horses galloped outside the Dali Palace, and the knights immediately looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy. Coming to the palace gate, one of them held up the token and ran towards the palace. Entering the imperial study, the man panted and said, "Chengdu Mansion urgently, a few days ago, the Chai clan and Chengdu reached an agreement, and the two sides signed an alliance, and the Chai clan will send troops to help guard the Hanzhong Road." ”
Duan Zhengchun's mood was bad enough, after hearing this news, the whole person felt like falling into an ice cellar, the Chai family actually reached an alliance with Chengdu Mansion. This news is disastrous for Dali, because in this way, the Chai family helps to defend the Hanzhong Dao, and the Chengdu government no longer has to guard against the Chai family, and Song Jiang can do it to Dali without any scruples. Duan Yu looked at the teacup in his hand blankly, he was not rich in political experience, but he also knew what this news meant, which meant that Song Jiang had no worries and could concentrate more troops in Dali, I am afraid that in less than two days, the soldiers and horses in Chengdu Mansion and Lizhou Road will enter Dali Kingdom south, and Song Jiang will also form an overwhelming advantage over Fengyu County at the fastest speed. The change is really fast, even if you find **** to help now, can it still work?
Due to the Song Jiang army taking Shanju County, Fengyu County was stormy, and the people of Dali felt an inexplicable panic, and Dali City was a little more depressed, as if the frost of the northern country suddenly fell on this four-season spring-like excess. The night was like ink, the sky was dotted with a few stars, Duan Zhengchun sat under the starlight, and the wine did not stop. A woman in the distance stared at it, her expression was a little complicated, Dao Baifeng was a little disappointed in Duan Zhengchun, and Dao Baifeng on Shaomu Mountain saw the mess left by Duan Zhengchun with his own eyes. Angry, but when Dali faced a disaster, Dao Baifeng was still deeply concerned about him, maybe it was really like what he said, the man named Duan Zhengchun was not born to be an emperor, it has only been a few years, the dashing and heroic King Zhennan and the emaciated are so haggard, and now they are so decadent that they need to drink to live. walked out from behind the flower garden, walked quickly to the stone table, looked at Duan Zhengchun's appearance, Dao Baifeng was angry and angry, and reached out to grab the cup, "The surname Duan, when is it, you still borrow wine to drown your sorrows, is what Yu'er said wrong, do you have any other options at this time except to find **** help?" I know what you think, you feel that you can't face Qin Hongmian, right, since you Duan Zhengchun are so face-saving, why did you do so many immoral things back then. If you really have the responsibility to take all your illegitimate children back to Dali Kingdom, can I really kill them with my sword Baifeng? You want to be faced, Yu'er and I still want to live, Duan Zhengchun, if you still have our mother and son in your heart, just stand up and do what a man should do. ”
Duan Zhengchun was born free and easy, uninhibited, but he was afraid of the sword Baifeng, maybe this is the truth of one thing descending from one thing, slowly raised his head, with a wry smile on his face, "Phoenix, you still read me, I ...... I'll protect you. ”
After being humiliated by Dao Baifeng, Duan Zhengchun was finally scolded and woke up, and on this night, Duan Zhengchun absolutely showed his old face. It's just that the world is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the next second. As soon as the next day dawned, Duan Zhengchun was woken up by the inner attendant, who was outside the door, and waited for the door to open before bowing down to greet him, "Your Majesty, there is a messenger outside the palace asking to see you." ”
As soon as he woke up, he heard an envoy asking to see him, Duan Zhengchun thought that he had heard something, and frowned and asked, "What messenger, where did the envoy come from?" Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before? ”
Don't blame Duan Zhengchun for wondering, even if the country of Dali is small, it is still a country, especially in the southwest half of the country, it has been the king for many years, if anyone sends an envoy, it must be notified at least ten days in advance, what is the matter with the envoy who suddenly appeared like this. Seeing Duan Zhengchun's reaction, the chamberlain looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy was brought by General Ba and has been waiting outside the palace." ”
The general Ba in the mouth of the inner servant must be Ba Tianyu who is responsible for the defense of Dali City, Ba Tianyu is not only the general of the Dali City Guard, but also the leader of the Ba clan, and has a high prestige in Dali. As soon as he heard that it was Ba Tianyu who brought him, Duan Zhengchun had to reconsider, the envoy came really strangely, but Ba Tianyu was loyal and would never mess around, the envoy went to find Ba Tianyu, instead of coming directly to the palace, obviously because he didn't want to make this matter known to everyone, it was really strange, where is it sacred? After tidying up his clothes and becoming a little sober, Duan Zhengchun ordered the chamberlain to bring Ba Tianyu in. Ba Tianyu is tall, more than fifty years old, but he is old and strong, with a pair of tiger eyes, and he was a fierce general when he was young from the appearance. To pacify the Southern Barbarians, Ba Tianyu has contributed a lot, like Zhu Danchen, a famous minister of Dali, is also from Ba Tianyu, so the Duan brothers have always attached great importance to Ba Tianyu.
Ba Tianyu was followed by a man, this man gave people a sense of calm, with a smile on his face, and bowed very angrily, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”
Duan Zhengchun secretly said curiously, no matter how this man looked, he had a feeling of familiarity, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it, "I don't know where Mr. Gao's name came from?" ”
"Your courtier, I have seen Your Majesty before" The man was polite and did not panic at all. As soon as Gong Zhen's name broke out, Duan Zhengchun was immediately shocked, no wonder he was so familiar, it turned out that Gong Zheng had arrived. Ba Tianyu may not know Gong Zi, but Duan Zhengchun knows a lot of things about Gong Zi, this person first followed Liang Shicheng, and then entered the palace to give advice to Zhao Ji, after Jin Ren went south, he was committed to the Chai family, how he is not to say first, but the talent of a turtle is absolutely rare in the world, if Zhao Ji can really obey Gong Zhu, it is estimated that Zhao Yougong would have died in Bianliang a long time ago, and there will be no later ****. If there is no independence in Ding**** Guanzhong, the Chai family and Tingyu Pavilion will not take advantage of the chaos. Over the past ten years, the situation in the Central Plains has changed unpredictably, and there are palaces everywhere. But Gong Zhen is not like Dongfang Jin, Dongfang Jin is known to the world, but Gong Zhen doesn't like to stand at the forefront, so up to now, people in the world know more about Dongfang Jin, but less people know Gong Jin, but in fact, Gong Zhen and Dongfang Jin are brothers in the same school.
Duan Zhengchun was shocked and frightened, for a moment, he even had the intention of killing, the Chai clan had just formed an alliance with Chengdu Mansion, and Song Jiang had seized Jianchang Mansion and Shanju County, so there was really no reason to be polite to Gong Zhen. Gong Mian is such a smart person, he thought that it would be this kind of treatment before he came, but he was not in a hurry, and bowed his hands and half-arched his body, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, Gong Mou is here to give Dali a big gift." ”
Duan Zhengchun glanced at Ba Tianyu, and Ba Tianyu on the side shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know the specific meaning of Gong Zhen. In fact, Ba Tianyu really didn't know, when Gong Zhan found him, he was also very puzzled, he almost ordered Gong Zhan to be cut down directly, a person from the Chai family dared to come to Dali at this time, isn't he looking for death? But Gong Zhan's words moved Ba Tianyu, when Dali was in danger, only Gong Zhan could solve it. No matter what, Ba Tianyu felt that he should try, in case Gong Zhan really had a way, if not, it would not be too late to kill him. Seeing that Ba Tianyu shook his head, Duan Zhengchun's eyes were a little more cold, "Mr. Gong, tell me, what kind of gift can you give me Dali Kingdom?" ”
Gong Zhen's expression did not move, there was no trace of fluctuation, that kind of calmness and self-cultivation, it is impossible for ordinary people to cultivate for more than ten years. came to the table, found a chair, sat down directly, ignored Ba Tianyu's angry gaze, and talked eloquently, "Your Majesty, what is the biggest threat to Dali at the moment?" It should be Song Jiang who is stationed in Shanju County, to say something that His Majesty doesn't like to hear, just rely on the ability of Dali Kingdom, if there is no strong reinforcement, Dali Kingdom will be Song Jiang's sooner or later. Dali has lived in the south for a long time, and has never experienced a big battle array, on the contrary, Song Jiang turned to the north and south, after countless bloody battles, the combat power is definitely not comparable to Dali. ”
Gong Zheng spoke very directly, almost slapping Duan Zhengchun in the face, but Duan Zhengchun could only be angry on his face, but he didn't dare to refute it, because what Gong Zheng said was true. Song Jiang's soldiers and horses can take Jianchang Mansion and Shanju County in just a few days in succession is enough to illustrate the problem, Dali has lived in the south for a long time, and can still be the king and hegemon in the southwest, but compared with the Central Plains and Liaojin in that year, there is no comparison at all. There are only more than 20,000 soldiers in Dali who can fight, and what about the Chai family or Ding ****, don't say that the current Song Jiang, even Wang Qing, one of the four heroes who caused trouble in the Great Song Dynasty, is stronger than Dali. Duan Zhengchun didn't refute, Gong Zhen secretly praised himself, if Duan Zhengchun still had to argue about this kind of thing, it would make people look down on him, and he couldn't even recognize himself, no matter how much he said, it was useless.
"Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to keep the century-old foundation of Dali, you must find strong reinforcements, and as everyone knows, Dali Duan's festival with Zhao Yougong is not small, counting on Ding**** to help, there is little hope. And our Chai family is different, the Queen Mother has long had the intention to make friends with His Majesty, and the Dali Kingdom has friendly relations with each other, and she also saw the situation of the Dali Kingdom, and the Queen Mother sent Gong Mou to come at this time" Gong Tsuki's voice is not slow, not high, not low, but every sentence caused turmoil in the hearts of Duan Zhengchun and Ba Tianyu, Duan Zhengchun even wiped his forehead, suspecting that he had not woken up. Everything is so unreal, the news of an alliance with the Chai family has just come from Chengdu Mansion, and Gong Zhan said that he wants to form an alliance with Dali, no matter how it sounds, it sounds like a joke.
"Mr. Gong, do you think that there is no one in my Dali country? Do you really think that the news of Dali is blocked, and you don't know anything, can the alliance between Chengdu Mansion and the Chai family be hidden from the world? Duan Zhengchun was indignant, and Ba Tianyu also put his hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to take down Gong Zhu at any time.
Gong Zhen was not afraid, all this was expected by him, because all this was really suspected of playing tricks, but Gong Zhen's next words were very shocking, "If you don't form an alliance with Chengdu Mansion, how can you quietly take Jianmen Pass, not ally with Chengdu Mansion, and how can you let Song Jiang transfer troops south with peace of mind, so that our troops can smoothly attack Lizhou Road and attack Chengdu Mansion?" ”
Silence, a terrible silence, can be heard when a pin drops. Duan Zhengchun frowned tightly, his heart was already rolling in waves, it turned out that the purpose of the alliance was here. Terrible Gong Tsuki, this man is too vicious. Now everyone in the world knows that the Dingguo army is powerful and has regained the initiative, and the Chai clan has been blocked in the area of Yuzhou and Henan Mansion. If the Chai clan wants to survive, they must put aside their prejudices and form an alliance with Chengdu Mansion, and the alliance seems to be a matter of course, and there will be no suspicion. But who would have known that behind the Chai Alliance, there were still so many earth-shattering conspiracies hidden. (To be continued.) )
