Chapter 448: Attacking Dali
"Marquis Gao, you are indeed amazing. No wonder the king appreciates you so much."

At this time, a clear voice came, and then a handsome and handsome young man walked out with a folding fan in his hand. Behind him there was another person holding a sword in his hand, with a murderous aura around him that made people shudder.

"Who is your Excellency?" Upon seeing this, Gao Shengtai showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Commander of Minglou, Shangguan Haitang, this is the deputy commander of Minglou, Gui Haiyi Dao, who came to pay homage to Marquis Gao on the orders of the Grand Tutor. I am here late at night, please forgive me for my sin." Shangguan Haitang had a smile on his face.

"I've seen Commander Shangguan and Commander Guihai Yidao. I wonder what the master ordered the two of them to come here?" After hearing this, Gao Shengtai's expression changed. Although he had expected it, the arrival of the two people still made him My heart trembled.In this Dali city, the people from Minglou were able to move around unimpeded, which showed how powerful the other party was.

"The Taifu led an army of 30, followed closely by Taibao, Tieyihou, Jindaohou, Baiyihou and others. They have already divided their troops into two groups to attack Dali. We will attack Qingyang and Liyang first. Perhaps at this time, Zhu Lu, All the four Shenguang Mansion have fallen into the hands of my Ming Dynasty. Don’t worry, everyone with the surname Gao has survived." Shangguan Haitang said with a smile.

Gao Shengtai turned pale and swayed after hearing this. He didn't expect Daming to move so fast. He didn't even react at all. At this speed, he could reach Dali City in half a month. At that time, what else would he have to do with himself? ?
"The master is so brave, I admire him. If I had known this, I would have made arrangements." Gao Shengtai smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if the commander is here. Is there anything I need to solve?"

Gao Shengtai knew that if he didn't perform well, he might become a prisoner.

"Baiguan Pass is dangerous. There is only a stone bridge to pass through. There is a natural chasm below. Marquis Gao needs to take action." Shangguan Haitang said seriously.

"Don't worry, Commander Shangguan. Tomorrow, Xianguan will let Quanzi lead an army of [-] people to Baiguan to help Taifu defeat the enemy." Gao Shengtai said without thinking.

Letting his son lead an army of [-] to help the enemy break the city is something that only Gao Shengtai can probably do.

"That's very good. Marquis Gao, when Dali is captured, Marquis Gao will be the first to do so." Shangguan Haitang's face was full of smiles, he turned and left, Gui Hai slashed without saying a word, only the murderous aura on his body shocked everyone.

After Shangguan Haitang left, the father and son breathed a sigh of relief. The situation just now was too depressing, and the father and son were very scared in their hearts.Afraid of being killed by the opponent.

"Father, the four houses of Qingyang are basically our people. As long as father sends a letter, these people will surrender. Minglou should know these things. Why do you still insist on attacking?" Gao Taiming didn't understand. .

"Stupid, in the battle to destroy the country, how can you pin everything on others? If those people don't surrender, how can the court make a sudden attack? Isn't it leaking the news?" Gao Shengtai glared at his son and said: "Furthermore, I, the Gao family, can bear all the credit for this kind of destruction of the country. Can I, the Gao family, withstand it? Hundreds of thousands of troops are not as good as my Gao family. If I, the Gao family, return to the Ming Dynasty in the future, won’t I be scolded to death by the military? Didn’t you hear me? Really? There are so many princes and princes who have taken action, such as Taifu, Taibao, etc. This kind of credit is not exclusive to me, the Gao family."

"More importantly, this move is also to intimidate my Gao family and show me the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is no Gao family, it will be very easy to capture Dali. Do you understand?"

Gao Shengtai looked into the distance faintly. He could see that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not simple people, and their talents far exceeded the officials of Dali.

"I understand, kid," Gao Taiming said quickly.He even understood the reason why his father asked him to lead an army of [-] people to attack Baiguan. That was where Gao's meritorious service was achieved.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gao Shengtai looked at the ministers in front of him with a gloomy expression on his face, and snorted coldly: "Why don't you say anything anymore? In ten days, Qingyang, Liyang, Zhulu, and Shenguang Mansion were all captured by the Ming Dynasty. And we now know that the enemy is only two hundred miles away from Baiguan. If my Duan clan hadn’t come back to report the news desperately, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have invaded Dali City, and I would have known about it!”

In the hall, no one dared to speak. The news came too suddenly. Like divine soldiers descending from heaven, the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses suddenly appeared two hundred miles away from Baiguan, only three hundred miles away from Dali City. The cavalry suddenly appeared. Only now, everyone in Dali knew that the Ming Dynasty had come to kill them. In ten days, they easily broke through the four palaces and caught Dali off guard.Upon seeing this, Situ Huagen immediately persuaded: "Prime Minister, now that the matter has come to an end, it is not the time to discuss this matter. Let's deal with the enemy's attack first. The enemy's troops are divided into two groups, with 30 soldiers and horses. Come on, I guess a large number of martial arts masters entered the city, killed the chief official, and then quickly opened the city gate, causing the city to fall."

"Master Hua, what do you think we should do now? I only have 10 troops in my hands. All the elites in the country are in the hands of the king. The Baiguan garrison only has 5000 people. Although I asked Quanzi to lead the army to support, what are those 10 men? You also know what kind of soldiers and horses you have." Gao Shengtai snorted coldly.

Hua Hegen felt bitter in his heart. He stayed in the court actually to contain Gao Shengtai, but in this situation, it was impossible to contain him. The two sides could only cope with the current situation by working together.

As for the quality of the [-] troops, he knew that most of them could not withstand even the five moves of the Ming King's imperial guards. He was probably afraid of the Ming soldiers and horses. It was almost impossible to expect these people to guard Baiguan.Gao Shengtai had no choice but to do this.

"First, ask the king to withdraw his troops quickly, and at least lead the army back to Dali City. Second, ask the eminent monks from Tianlong Temple to come forward to deal with the martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty." Hua Hegen said with a wry smile: "The third is to ask the Northern Song Dynasty to send troops. The support of the King of the Northern Song Dynasty."

Everyone nodded after hearing this and praised Hua Hegen's strategy.

Gao Shengtai sneered in his heart after hearing this. It would take at least ten days to retreat from Jianchang City. Dali City would probably have been lost by that time. As for the masters of Tianlong Temple coming to resist the martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty, it was even more of a joke.

"High Prime Minister, I believe that the most important thing at this time is not Bai Pass, but Dali City. Although Bai Pass is dangerous, Bai Pass is not suitable for garrisoning a hundred thousand troops. As long as [-] troops are put in, it will be enough to defend it. On the contrary, Dali City is more important. The queen and other royal family members are still in the city. What should we do if the martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty come to attack?" an official said seriously.

"Nonsense, once Baiguan is lost, can Dali City be saved?" Hua Hegen glared at the other party. He recognized that the other party was an ally of Gao Shengtai. The purpose of this was probably to make Gao Taiming withdraw his troops, thereby keeping Gao Shengtai. Tai Ming's life.

"Bai Pass is the last pass of Dali City. It must not be lost. A hundred thousand troops may not be able to defeat the Ming army, but there is no problem in defending it." Gao Shengtai said lightly: "I, the Gao family, have been favored by the king for a long time. Even if it is Even if I die, I will not give up Baiguan. I know that at this time, some ministers in the court may want to escape. You can leave, but I cannot leave."

Hua Hegen showed a trace of anger on his face after hearing this. On the way to Gaofu, he saw many rich people starting to escape, and the city gate was even more crowded. Apparently he had gotten the news.

"Xiang Gao is joking, we are all favored by the Duan family, how can we escape at this time!" Hua Hegen said with a bitter smile.He was originally just a tomb robber. He obtained a martial arts secret book and became qualified to be an official. It was indeed the Duan family who promoted him.

Everyone else also nodded, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

"Reorganize the troops and horses, and close the four city gates in Dali. No one is allowed to open the city gates, and no one is allowed to mobilize any soldiers unless they are written by the Prime Minister. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! The granaries and arsenals are not allowed to enter unless they are written by the Prime Minister. , Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed." Gao Shengtai glanced at everyone, his eyes unable to conceal the murderous intent.

"I will obey my orders." Everyone heard the murderous intent in Gao Shengtai's words, and no one dared to object.

"Very good, everyone, please go down and do your work!" Gao Shengtai smiled on his face.
