The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1097 Dali Imperial City
After the army walked out of the gate of Zhennan Military Region, Duan Shi just stayed in his chariot and never showed his face again.

Perhaps, facing Yu Feihang, Zhong Jian and other officials of the Song Dynasty now makes him feel more comfortable than facing the soldiers under his command.

Because he always felt that those soldiers looked at him with a hint of resentment and sarcasm in their eyes.

They somewhat blamed him for the defeat.

Even though these Dali soldiers are actually quite satisfied with their life in the Great Song Army now, they must still have some concerns about the defeat in the beginning.

If they can win, they can return home to reunite with their parents, wives and children, which is of course better than staying in the Great Song Army.

The army marched westward in mighty strength.

Zhang Jue went straight to Lingxi Fort in the west of Jingzhou City, watched Zhu Haiwang and the others for a long time, and then brought them back to the Grand Marshal's Mansion in the south of the town.

Wearing the armor of a military commander, Zhu Haiwang slowly drove his horse in front of the army.

Up to now, he has been officially promoted to the post of commander of the Tianjiu Army.From the moment he set off, Ge Zaixin was like handing over all the power in the general to him.

And Zhu Haiwang didn't treat Ge Zaixin badly.

After discussing with Zhu Haiwang that day, he actually sent a letter to Zhao Dongting, asking Zhao Dongting to canonize Ge Zaixin as Marquis of Yu in the Central Capital of Tianjiu Army.

Du Yuhou was only half a rank behind the commander in the army, even slightly higher than the deputy commander.This kind of position is certainly not comparable to Ge Zaixin's original position as head of the regiment.

Of course, Zhu Haiwang would not tell Ge Zaixin about this matter until he got a reply from Zhao Dongting.

Ge Zaixin will know when the letter of appointment is issued in the future.When the time comes, they will also inherit Zhu Haiwang's affection and will naturally become Zhu Haiwang's direct descendant.

Zhu Haiwang is the commander of the airborne army. If he wants to firmly control the Tianjiu army, it is inevitable to cultivate direct descendants in the army.

Yuan Zhongdu.

After all the princes in the court have left this majestic city for thousands of years, the most favored princess in the court, Princess Turandot, is finally getting married.

She is going to marry Da Song.

Few people know about this matter among the common people, but there are many people who know about it in the court.They all knew why Princess Mingzhu wanted to marry the Great Song Emperor.

This is really not a glorious thing.

Yangyang Dayuan actually needs to use the most favored princess to appease the enemy country, and it is the Song country that was beaten to the ground and almost perished.

The team sending off relatives is not very strong.

There were no more than two hundred court ladies who married Turandot.

There were no more than a thousand palace guards escorting the convoy of the princess.

Compared with the princesses who were married to other countries before the Yuan Dynasty, this does not seem to reflect the special pampering of Princess Turandot.

The person who only sent Turandot out of the gate of Zhongdu is shocking.

Not only the new king Zhenjin and the current empress, but also Dayuan Sangge and Yeluzhu who just returned to Zhongdu and many other senior officials.

They have all been granted the title of Minister of Fuguo now, which is equivalent to the cabinet of the new king Zhenjin.The position in the court can be said to be even better than before.

Because before Kublai Khan, they were just making suggestions.But now that the new king has succeeded to the throne, their role is not only to assist, there are many things that even the new king has to listen to them.

The word "Fuguo" is very important.

Except for these people, even the Supreme Emperor Kublai Khan personally sent Turandot to the city gate with his sick body.

He could no longer walk or ride a horse, and was lying in the chariot from beginning to end.

Turandot followed in his car.

The grandfather and grandson didn't know what they said in the chariot.

All I know is that Turandot got out of the car with tears in his eyes when he arrived at the gate of the city.

In this life, she will probably never be able to meet Kublai Khan again.

A married princess is like water poured out, and Da Song and Da Yuan are hostile again, so it is very difficult for her to come back to visit her relatives.

And even if Zhao Dongting gave her such an opportunity in the future, given Kublai Khan's current physical condition, he might not be able to wait until that day.

After bidding farewell to Zhenjin and the others, Turandot got into his carriage and never came out again.

Zhen Jin and others watched for a long time at the gate of the city.

The eye sockets of Zhen Jin and the queen were a little red.

Only the third son of real gold, Timur, clenched his fists tightly in the crowd.

He is not yet the crown prince of the Yuan Dynasty, but there are faint rumors in the court that both Zhenjin and Kublai Khan intend to make him the crown prince.

After all, when Kublai Khan was in power, he had already shown his favor for Timur.Among the sons of real gold, only Timur is quite majestic.

Soon, the wedding team was getting farther and farther away from Yuanzhong.

Colorful flags fluttered in the team, which looked very festive.

But everyone in the team, I am afraid that they are not happy in their hearts.After all, even the protagonist Princess Pearl is now feeling sad.

Dali.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since Liu Zhuwen and others took Baozhou, the Nongdong Mansion.

After they captured Baozhou, they did not go to Dongcheng, the main city of Nongdong Mansion of the Southern Forbidden Army, but went straight to the imperial city of Dali.

Now they are outside the city of Dali.

Ershui and blue waves are like washing, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The army marched along the Ershui River, and at dusk, the golden waves in the Ershui River shimmered.The army also officially arrived outside Dali City.

Dali's [-]-meter-high fired green brick city wall is still towering.

Looking north, you can see the towering Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple.

Dali, the Buddhist country.

Although the current Dali is somewhat different from what was written in history, it is not the master of Buddhism and Taoism.But Buddhism also has unparalleled influence in Dali.

Dali governs the country with a monarch, but even if it is a monarch, the coronation is presided over by Buddhist monks.

In name, Buddhism is slightly higher than the imperial power, and it also has a deeper influence among the people.It's just that he has never mastered many real powers in Dali.

Liu Zhuwen and others led the army to the foot of Dali City and looked up the city.

On the top of the city, there were no defenders to be seen.

Only the figures of the common people can be vaguely seen in the city.

However, they also left in a hurry after seeing the figure of the Great Song Imperial Army, not knowing where to hide.

This magnificent city with a very long history in Dali seems to be extremely deserted at this time.

Duan Qilin's departure made the imperial city of Dali lose its vitality.

He took away the ministers and soldiers in the city, as well as many wealthy businessmen and nobles, as well as countless people.Most of the people who are still in Dali City are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Compared with the surrounding cities of Dali Imperial City, this place is really much deserted.

And this was undoubtedly beyond the expectations of Liu Zhuwen and others.

They thought that no matter what, they would encounter some resistance in the Dali Imperial City.Now, Dali is like an empty city.

After taking a closer look at the top of the city, Liu Zhuwen and others can already conclude that there are really no soldiers guarding Dali City now.

This made them a little confused.

They led the army to stand below the city for a long time, but none of Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng, and Zhang Hongwei ordered to enter the city.

As long as you enter this city, it means that Dali has been captured by Song Dynasty.In the future, Dali will be the territory of the Song Dynasty.

But what should they do after they enter the city?
Just sit in the city like this?
Waiting for the army to come?
Liu Zhuwen and others came to reason at the beginning to destroy the imperial city of Dali, but now, this task has been completed too easily and earlier than they expected.

Zhang Hongwei immediately stood beside Liu Zhuwen and asked, "Commander Liu, are we going to be stationed in Dali City?"

He was obviously not enjoying himself.

Liu Zhuwen glanced at him lightly, knowing what Zhang Hongwei was thinking.

He said slowly: "We are far away from the country now, and it is not easy to transport food and grass. I think the current situation in Dali City may not be able to provide us with food and grass."

Zhang Hongwei immediately raised his eyebrows, and said: "Then I will lead the army to visit the surrounding cities? It will also prevent the army from coming and conquering each city one by one."

"Ha ha."

Liu Zhuwen smiled lightly, "As long as we sit here in Dali City, someone will come to serve. Why do we need to attack the city again?"

Zhang Hongwei was slightly taken aback, "Then what do you plan to do, Commander Liu?"

Liu Zhuwen said: "Let's go to the city first and then talk about it!"

He didn't know what he was thinking of, so he didn't say much anymore, he swung his gun suddenly, and shouted: "Go into the city!"

Then he led the army towards the city.

Zhang Hongwei was left in a daze.

Knowing that there is not enough food and grass in the city, you still plan to enter the city to garrison?What is Commander Liu planning to do?
Soon, he also drove his horse and led his soldiers into the city.

In Dali City, there are indeed no Dali defenders stationed.

After the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty entered the city, the common people also gave way, and all they saw were empty streets.

Although the sun is hot, this situation undoubtedly still makes people feel cool.
