Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 419
At the same time as the dramatic battle in the new capital city outside Liujiazhuang, Duan Zhengyu, who was far away in the Shanchan mansion, was facing the biggest crisis he had encountered since he took the throne.

The fighting power of the soldiers and horses led by Wanyan Zhenzhu'er completely exceeded Duan Zhengyu's estimation. That is to say, even with the three favorable conditions of weather, location, and people, the Dali army still couldn't resist the puppet army. Due to the ferocious attack of the Qi army, in just one month, only Kunming City was left in the entire Shanchan Mansion, which was still in the hands of Duan Zhengyu.

If the two barbarian armies hadn't tried their best to maintain a passage behind Kunming City, the courtiers below Duan Zhengyu would have forced Duan Zhengyu to break through.

But even if this is the case, in the eyes of many courtiers of the Dali Kingdom, the Shanchan Mansion may not be able to be kept.Many people have already spoken, suggesting that Duan Zhengyu should retreat first.

"I heard that Liu Wei once retreated Yan Zhenzhu'er's army with three hundred elites. Can you verify this now?"

In Duan Zhengyu's heart, there was still a glimmer of hope.As the monarch of Dali, known as the most wise emperor in history, Duan Zhengyu really didn't want to escape from the Shanchan Mansion in such a disgraceful manner. Of course, a more important reason was that the Shanchan Mansion contained too many Duan Zhengyu and his wife. How can he be willing to give away so much painstaking effort like this?
"Your Majesty, you can't believe all the rumors, you can't believe them all." An old-fashioned minister, hearing Duan Zhengyu's words, quickly shook his head, as if he was afraid that Duan Zhengyu would follow Liu Wei and go to battle in person.

As soon as this person opened his mouth, some generals retorted, saying that even if it is a rumor, it may not be groundless. There is that kind of success.

Because of this matter, in the blink of an eye, civil servants and military generals actually started to quarrel. In the end, Duan Zhengyu waved his hand helplessly, interrupted the quarrel, reprimanded a few words, and then put down the noisy scene like a vegetable market.

"I heard that Liu Wei has led his army back to Chengdu?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. The issue of peace negotiation between Jin and Song falls on Liu Wei. If Liu Wei is sent to Jin, the alliance between Jin and Song will be completed. Otherwise, the two countries will continue to fight. !"

"What I care about is not whether the two countries can form an alliance. What I care about is how to get in touch with Liu Wei! I am very interested in the suggestion he made last time!"

Suggestions from last time?
Liu Wei's suggestion to Duan Zhengyu is that the two sides jointly develop the Panxi Plateau.Although Duan Zhengyu obviously misunderstood Liu Wei's meaning, thinking that Liu Wei discovered high-value mineral deposits in the Panxi Plateau, such as gold and silver, so Duan Zhengyu was firmly opposed at the beginning.

However, the reality is pressing. Now that the puppet Qi army is powerful, Wanyan Zhenzhu'er has clearly gained a firm foothold in the Shanchan Mansion through the fierce battle during this period of time. What the two sides are about to face is a protracted war of attrition.

Therefore, Duan Zhengyu judged that he not only needed a strong ally, but also needed a lot of material support.If it is said that agreeing to Liu Wei's request can not only get Liu Wei's support, but also get economic support for mining mineral deposits, then this battle will eventually be won by Dali Kingdom.

Moreover, what is even rarer for Duan Zhengyu is the way, or rather, the method used by Liu Wei's three hundred elites to force the golden marbles back.Now, Duan Zhengyu has heard that Liu Wei used a lot of sharp firearms, which made Wanyan Zhenzhuer have to avoid his edge, so at this time, Duan Zhengyu really wanted to get these sharp firearms extremely urgently.

However, it is conceivable that as a heavy weapon in the hands of Liu Wei's forces, Duan Zhengyu believes that it is definitely not something that can be obtained easily.

"For avoidance, although Liu Yi has returned to Bashu, there is still an army of Liu's army stationed on our border towards the Panxi Plateau. You can try to contact me!"

"It's the best! I will arrange for you to do this!"

At this moment, Duan Zhengyu finally had a gleam of joy on his face, so he hurriedly finalized this matter, so as not to have many dreams in the night.

It's a pity that Duan Zhengyu didn't know that Lu Hong, who stayed on the Panxi Plateau, was a big-minded guy at all, and the courtier he arranged to do this was not a thoughtful guy, and the result was-wasted For a long time, until Duan Zhengyu had no choice but to withdraw his troops from the Shanchan Mansion, the two were still on the border of the Panxi Plateau, entangled endlessly.

Liu Wei didn't know what happened to the court of Dali Kingdom at this time. The news he just received was that Zhao Gou's imperial edict had finally been delivered.

Every courtier and general who received the imperial edict took action one after another, including Yue Fei.

For Yue Fei at this time, when he received the imperial decree ordering him to lead troops to suppress Bashu, his mood was really complicated.

"Zhang Xian, go, General Gao please come!"

In the camp, Yue Fei, who had just sent away the Xuanzhi eunuch, rubbed his forehead, frowned, and said to Zhang Xian with a tired expression.

In the past few years, Zhang Xian, who used to be as childish as Yang Zaixing, has grown into a proud husband. Although he is wearing a battle armor, there is a strong smell of books between his eyes and eyebrows.

Zhang Xian took the order to leave, and soon he was transferred to the account, and after that, it was the taller and taller Gao Chong.

"Marshal, are you looking for the last general?"

"Gao Chong, you're here, sit down." Yue Fei waved his hand, Zhang Xian hurriedly resigned, only Yue Fei and Gao Chong were in the tent.

Yue Fei didn't go around in circles, and asked Gao Chong if he heard anything about what happened in Bashu.

In fact, these things, I'm afraid they have already been spread on the bad street, how could Gao Chong not know?Especially today, the Xuanzhi eunuch entered the barracks with great fanfare, even if Gao Chong was deaf, he still had eyes to see.

"Marshal, the last general already knows about this matter."

Between the words, Gao Chong also felt a little helpless.

Gaojiazhuang is his family, and Liu Wei is his brother-in-law Gao Chong. In the final analysis, if it wasn't because Yue Fei was in command of this army and was replaced by another general, someone might have already sent someone to imprison Gao Chong Get up, even if you don't go to jail, at least you will be under house arrest.

It is precisely because of Yue Fei's trust in Gao Chong that not only did he not attack Gao Chong, but he even invited Gao Chong to discuss it. Such a move really made Gao Chong feel grateful, but Gao Chong himself knew it well. I'm afraid it won't be long.

"The imperial decree has been issued. If you are interested, General Gao, you can also take a look!"

"Forget it, marshal, tell me what I should do! You don't need to read this decree!"

Let out another long sigh, Gao Chong shook his head helplessly, looked at Yue Fei and said.

Starting from Yue Fei's inner wishes, he certainly didn't want Gao Chong to leave. After all, among the Yue family army, Gao Chong's combat effectiveness is definitely ranked first. The fighting strength of the generals is also top-notch. If they are forced to leave, it will be a huge loss to the entire Yue family army.

However, as a general of the imperial court, Yue Fei knew that he would be involuntary in many cases!Keeping Gao Chong in the army, maybe one day there will be an imperial decree to arrest Gao Chong for questioning, how will he, Yue Fei, deal with himself at that time?
Therefore, after much deliberation, Yue Fei could only reluctantly give up.

"General Gao, you can't stay here with me! Let's go!"

"Marshal! Marshal's kindness is hard to repay!" Hearing Yue Fei's words, Gao Chong couldn't help standing up, cupping his fists, bowed deeply, and then a look of worry appeared on his face, and said: "Then I will leave here , if the court pursues responsibility."

"You don't need to worry at this time! It's a good thing that you are not mentioned in this edict! If someone in the court thinks of you, I will naturally know how to deal with it!" Yue Fei waved his hand resolutely. How to keep Gao Chong down!
Although Liu Wei is now clearly going to fight against the court to the end, Yue Fei still knows Gao Chong very well. In his impression, Gao Chong has many similarities with him in character, and he even believes that Even if Liu Wei really wants to be unfavorable to the imperial court in the future, Gao Chong will definitely not help the tyrant.

"That's it, hurry up." Before Yue Fei finished speaking, Zhang Xian's voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Marshal, the imperial court has another imperial edict, and the eunuch proclaiming the edict is on the way!"

"not good!"

Hearing Zhang Xian's words, Yue Fei's heart suddenly "thumped". He guessed that the imperial decree that followed was probably related to Gao Chong. He didn't care what Gao Chong wanted to say, so he got up straight and grabbed Gao Chong's shoulders with both hands. , "Gao Chong, let's go!"

"Marshal, last general."

"But I hope Gao Chong will act worthy of the country, the community, and the common people in the world in your future actions. Then what I do today will not be in vain!"

Having said this in a hurry, Yue Fei simply pushed Gao Chong out of the tent.It was almost Gao Chong who left on the front foot, and the eunuch who announced the decree entered the Chinese army camp on the back foot.

Although Yue Fei is now the Marshal of the First Road, he still has to kneel down to greet the imperial decree. As expected, in this new imperial decree, it is specifically stated that Gao Chong, the direct relative of the traitor Liu Wei, and others will be arrested and sent to prison. !
"Marshal Yue, please hand over Gao Chong to our family and bring him back to Lin'an to return to his life!" The eunuch who announced the decree said directly to Yue Fei after the decree was announced.

"Ah? Gao Chong? Zhang Xian, go and see. Gao Chong went out to patrol the camp a while ago, is he back?"

"Marshal, General Gao hasn't come back yet!"

The one who answered Yue Fei was not Zhang Xian who was standing next to Yue Fei, but Yue Yun who was standing a little farther away.Although the child still doesn't know what happened, but the court wants to arrest Gao Chong, he is definitely the first one to refuse!

Although the father and son didn't say anything clearly, how could Yue Yun not know whether Gao Chong was going out?Obviously, the so-called going out on patrol was simply an excuse for Yue Fei, and Yue Yun was worried that Zhang Xian would show his flaws, so he hurriedly stood up to catch up.

"Going out on patrol and not returning?"

The old eunuch obviously didn't quite believe what happened before him, but he was in the camp of the Yue Family Army, even though he was accompanied by the Imperial Forest Army, but given him a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything wrong.
