Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 467
Faced with the survival of his family and country, Li Jing still has a bit of a spine.

Ignoring my beloved son, I called Chen Chuyao, the privy envoy, and Zheng Yanhua, the envoy.

These two people are what Li Jing said were men of extraordinary intelligence, fierce generals who are not afraid of life and death.

Chen Chuyao was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. He was alert and good at vertical and horizontal skills.When Guo Rong marched south, when the battle was at its most intense, Chen Chuyao was ordered to send an envoy to Khitan, and brought a lot of money to ask Khitan to send troops to rescue him.

Chen Chuyao was eloquent and spoke clearly and logically.

At that time, Emperor Yelujing loved Chen Chuyao more and more. This Khitan culture was no different from that of the Central Plains, and there were many famous people in the court, but most of them were from the north.

It is rare to see such a personable and elegant Jiangnan nobleman as Chen Chuyao. He loved his talent, so he was forced to stay and serve Khitan.

Chen Chuyao had a lot of backbone, and publicly criticized Yelujing many times, but Yelvjing didn't blame him.

It was not until the civil strife in Khitan that Chen Chuyao found an opportunity to return to the south.

With this level of experience, Chen Chuyao's status in the south of the Yangtze River has risen step by step. He has the ability, but whether he is talented or not is up to the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise.

But Zheng Yanhua is a well-deserved hero who is not afraid of life and death.

It's funny to say that none of the generals who can really fight in Jiangnan, whether it is Zhu Yuan, Guo Tingwei, Lin Renzhao before, or the current Chai Kehong, Chen Hui, Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua, is from Jiangnan.

Zheng Yanhua was originally an old general of Fujian, but a small military academy.

The Battle of Zijin Mountain was a bloody battle with the Zhou army. His predecessor suffered more than [-] injuries, but he still moved forward bravely. From a general of a hundred people, he was killed alive to the position of Jiedu envoy, and became the envoy of the south of the Yangtze River.

It was also because of these two that Li Jing still had the courage to fight the Central Plains.

"Now the situation is critical. Cao Bin has led his troops to approach Nanchang Mansion. How do the two lovers think they should deal with it?"

Li Jing looked at Chen Chuyao and Zheng Yanhua with some hope, for fear that they would also say the words of surrender.

Many officials in Nanchang were eager to fight at the beginning. After all, Cao Bin's "soft" performance at the beginning gave them a lot of confidence.

But as the army of the Central Plains crossed the river, Jiangzuo fell instantly, and the tone of the conversation began to change, and everyone surrendered.

But what can Li Jing say?
His own favorite son is also a capitulator.

Zheng Yanhua said: "No matter what the situation is, the last general will only know how to fight to the death, in order to repay His Majesty's kindness in supporting him."

It goes without saying that Zheng Yanhua is not afraid of death, but the promotion of a fierce general who knows how to charge and attack to this position also shows how scarce talents are.

Chen Chuyao said: "If your Majesty wants to resist, defending the Nanchang Mansion to the death is tantamount to cocooning yourself. The only way to turn defeat into victory is to send out surprise soldiers to destroy the floating bridge on the Yangtze River. In my opinion, it is better to serve the king in all directions, so Stand guard and lure Cao Bin to attack the city."

"Order Ezhou and Jiangzhou to gather water troops to go south to attract Lin Renzhao's attention. Minister Zheng led his troops to take Chizhou by land, and attack Lin Renzhao by land and water. As long as Lin Renzhao's navy is defeated and the floating bridge on the Yangtze River is destroyed, it will be easy."

Li Jing's face was pale, and he said: "Minister Zheng has left, how about Nanchang Mansion?"

Chen Chuyao said: "In this situation, we can only gamble. If the floating bridge on the Yangtze River is not destroyed, we have no chance of winning in Jiangnan."

"All right!"

Li Jing finally made up his mind and went all out.

When the order was issued, Li Jing didn't feel relieved, but panicked even more: Isn't Nanchang even more dangerous when Zheng Yanhua is gone?

Thinking of the proposals of Li Congjia and many ministers, he was a little moved.

While letting his cronies work hard to fight, he was thinking about surrendering again.

There is nothing more indecisive than that.

Thinking of Liu Chengjun in the east of the river, Li Jing, who is the most face-saving, really doesn't want to be humiliated...

When he was in a dilemma, Li Jing couldn't help but scold Li Hongji a few words of "rebellious son" to vent his anger.

Thinking of the son he didn't like, a thought came to Li Jing's heart... Why not?
Li Jing suddenly felt that his brain hurt a little, and it was time to get sick as he got older.

Almost at the same time, Gao Fang in Xichang City also received "bad news".

Emperor Duan Sichong of Dali had close contacts with the Yang family.

Dali is respected by four surnames, namely Duan Gao, Dong Yang, and listed in order.

Among them, Duan's surname is the emperor's surname, ranking first.

The Gao family and the Dong family are ranked second and third because Gao Fang and Dong Jialuo, two servants of the dragon, have been reused.

As for the fourth Yang surname, it is different from Duan Gaodong, it is very special.

Dali is respected by the Bai people, and the Yang family is the most common surname of the Bai people.

In order to win over the Yang family, Duan Siping married Yang Guixian and made her queen.

Among the puppets of the Duan Clan in Dali, the Dong Clan has already declined. Only the Yang Clan, the most common surname, has the power to threaten the Gao Clan.

In history, because the Song Dynasty gave up attacking Dali, the Gao family suppressed the Yang family in Dali with all their strength, and finally forced Yang Yunxian and Yang Yizhen to rebel.

After Gao Zhisheng and Gao Shengtai destroyed the Yang family, Dali Kingdom officially became the Gao family's one-spoken family. If they wanted to be emperor, they abolished the Duan family.

Now that the Central Plains is going south, Gao Fang has been defeated repeatedly, and the royal family Duan and Yang are inevitably ready to move.

Gao Fang leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and thought deeply, as if he had fallen asleep.

But his undulating chest confirmed his mood at the moment.

It took him a while before he said: "This matter has something to do with the Central Plains?"

Zong Qi, who came from Yangjumei City, the capital of Dali, hurriedly came to send a message: "Nine times out of ten, a Central Plains painter named Shi Ke was invited to Dali to paint more than a month ago. We were careless."

Gao Fang gritted his teeth, "Where is he now?"

Zong Qi replied: "I'm painting in Tianlong Temple now, do you want to..."

Gao Fang shook his head slightly: "Tianlong Temple is the sacred place in the hearts of my Dali believers, so don't act rashly. The frontline loses again and again, and making troubles in Tianlong Temple is equivalent to breaking with the Duan family and the Yang family, and we have the help of the Central Plains. Our Gao family has no chance of winning."

Zong Qi was slightly terrified in his eyes, and said: "Then what should we do? The young master is a little bit alone in Yangjubaa City..."

Gao Fang slapped his face with both hands, and said loudly, "Go and call Dong Yun."

Dong Yun is working nearby, but he can get there in a short time.

Gao Fang didn't wait for Dong Yun to open his mouth, and said directly: "Mr. Troubled you to visit Chengdu, and said that I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and I tried to resist the heavenly soldiers in vain, so I am willing to bow my head and plead guilty. I beg the emperor to show mercy and forgive the small country of Nanman."

Zong Qi exclaimed, "Yuehou?"

Dong Yun opened his mouth, unable to accept it all at once, and said after a while: "Has it reached this point?"

Gao Fang said angrily: "I wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River to force the Central Plains to retreat. How could Jiangnan be an embroidered pillow. The Central Plains is too strong, and my opponents can only deal with Duan and Yang with broken arms. Besides, don't There is no other way."

When he said this, he sighed helplessly: "Sir, I'm here to inquire about the request of the emperor of the Central Plains. Don't worry that the emperor of the Central Plains will refuse the peace talks. Now the matter can be said to be in mutual agreement. The emperor of the Central Plains has already held us in his hands. If we don't die, we must die." Not his pawn. He doesn't want to see his pawn destroyed..."
