The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1400 Empress Disappointed
Hearing this, Danba didn't speak, but still just looked at Zhong Jin, his eyes changing slightly.

Zhong Jin had the air of scolding Fang Qiu, and said again: "I don't know if you have received the news, Commander Danba, that the tens of thousands of troops from the Dali Military Region of the Song Dynasty are on the verge of the border of Tubo. All the soldiers of the imperial army are equipped with dragons Guns, there are countless armaments such as throwing cannons, sky cannons, and hot air balloons in the army. I don’t know if the commander thinks your Tubo army can stop our imperial army from the Song Dynasty? To tell you the truth, the emperor’s imperial decree clearly states, If Tubo surrenders, then everything is easy to say, Song Dynasty is willing to make friends with Qin and Jin with Tubo, but if Tubo... Hehe, although our defenders are not as brave as the Forbidden Army, we will also enter the Tubo border at the same time as the Forbidden Army! At that time, when I go to the emperor, I am afraid that I will not give your country's lord, nor will I give you, the commander-in-chief... a chance to surrender."

What he said repeatedly did not anger the Tubo generals in the tent any more, but instead made the atmosphere in the tent a bit weird.

Those Tubo generals who were angry with their knives were all slightly stunned, then they sat down slowly and looked at Danba.

Danba didn't know if he was pretending or not, he was stunned for a while.

Then he suddenly clapped his hands vigorously, and laughed loudly: "General Zhong is really courageous, and his words are also very sharp! I heard that all the soldiers of the Song Army are not afraid of death. Now, judging from General Zhong, it is really not true." False."

Zhong Jin bowed his hands politely, "You are being polite, Commander. Please forgive Zhong Jin for being rude, but we soldiers have always been so straightforward."

Danba nodded again and again, "Extremely, I like dealing with people like you, General Zhong."

Zhong Jin raised his eyebrows, "The commander-in-chief means that he has agreed to bow down to Song Dynasty?"

"No, no, no."

But Danba shook his head, "I, Danba, can't make up my mind on this matter. General Zhong should know that I, Danba, are just the slave of the king."

As he spoke, he slowly walked up to Zhong Jin, "Besides, even if I, Danba, can make the decision, how do you know if your Song army will be the opponent of the Yuan army? If my news is correct, the Yuan Dynasty should also have you now." Isn’t it the firearm Song Jun is proud of?”

Zhong Jin smiled and looked directly into Danba's eyes, "The news of the commander-in-chief is really well-informed, but unfortunately...not well-informed enough... It is true that the Yuan army has firearms now, but they were killed by me on Nanjing Road and Xixia. I don’t know if the commander of the Song Dynasty has heard about this, but how do you know that the Song Dynasty has not developed any new weapons after so many years?"

"Haha."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Jin suddenly laughed twice, and cupped his hands at Danba: "I have finished what I have to say. Five days, I hope the commander can give us an answer within five days."

Then he walked outside the handsome tent.

Danba and the generals couldn't help looking at Zhong Jin's back.

Danba's complexion was not pretty, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"General Zhong!"

When Zhong Jin was about to walk to the door, he suddenly called Zhong Jin to stop.

Zhong Jin stopped.

Danba said: "It's still far from the capital of the country, and I still need to ask the king to make a decision. Isn't five days too short?"

Zhong Jin said with a smile: "I have heard that Tubo war horses are fast and have great endurance. Five days, I think it is enough."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the handsome tent without looking back.

A voice floated in from outside the commander's tent, "I also want to give the marshal more time, but unfortunately, the emperor thinks that we have given Tubo a long enough time to wait and see."

The footsteps gradually faded away until they completely disappeared.

In the tent, Danba sat back on the main seat, but at this moment, he suddenly laughed lightly.

Some generals couldn't help asking: "Why are you laughing, Commander?"

Danba said: "Don't you see that General Song is very confident! It seems that Song is indeed stronger than we imagined."

The general said again: "The meaning of what the commander said..."

Danba said: "Since Tubo surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, we have been doing cattle and horses for the Yuan Dynasty. We have been exploited by them, and even the princes have been sent to the Central Government as hostages. Before, everyone thought that the Yuan Dynasty would win the world, so they accepted their fate. Now, the rise of the Song Dynasty seems to be a good time for us to break away from the constraints of the Yuan Dynasty..."

"Can……"

Another general said: "The emperor of the Song Dynasty also wants us to bow our heads and become ministers? What is the difference between this and the Yuan Dynasty? Moreover, the officials of the Yuan Dynasty have great power in our country. If we suddenly surrender to the Song Kingdom, the country will inevitably There will be a big change..."

Danba said quietly: "Change in the country is inevitable. Otherwise, how can you think that the officials in our country would easily let me lead the army to go to war?"

The generals in the tent changed color slightly upon hearing the words.

Someone's head was brighter, and the way they looked at Danba changed instantly.

Marshal Danba is the lord's close minister, and the lord's greatest reliance within the capital.Those Yuan officials asked him to lead the army, because they wanted to completely control the sovereign in their hands, as a hostage!

It is conceivable that as long as Tubo chooses to surrender to Song, those Yuan officials will definitely attack the king.Even, the king may not even be able to save his life.

But now Marshal Danba obviously intends to bow his head to Song Guo, what is he thinking, how could these generals under his command not think of it?

If the king loses power, Tubo will be in chaos.

At that time, Marshal Danba can completely lead the army to the capital in the name of King Qin.It might even be possible to get the help of Song Jun.

The position of the king is extremely attractive.Especially at this particular juncture.

And Danba said quietly at this time: "The emperor of the Song Dynasty is much more benevolent than the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty... If our Tubo surrendered to the Song Dynasty, we would not be subject to the current situation."

After saying this, all the generals in the tent had no doubts about Danba's intentions.

Someone's eyes changed.

Only someone knelt down on the ground suddenly, and said to Danba: "The final general is willing to obey the orders of the commander in chief!"

Perhaps even Zhao Dongting could not have imagined that his actions were merely following the trend, but now there were signs of causing chaos in Tubo.

……

Chung Hsing Mansion.

By this time, Li Xiushu, who was knocked unconscious by Luo Tuo, had already woken up.

In order to prevent Li Xiushu from committing suicide, Luo Tuo specially arranged several disciples to guard Li Xiushu's surroundings.Of course, there is also the meaning of guarding against Wu Shangyun and others.

Those big Xia generals still wanted to kill Li Xiushu.After all, only by killing Li Xiushu can Xixia have no chance of making a comeback.

Li Xiushu had just woken up when Luotuo's disciples all looked towards her.

One of them quickly walked over to Li Xiushu's side, and directly touched Li Xiushu's acupuncture points.

Li Xiushu's beautiful eyes widened.

Then she cried aloud, like a little girl, "Woooo... who are you... why am I here..."

Her appearance made several disciples of De Luotuo a little confused.

Someone looked at Li Xiushu strangely for a while, then walked out of the house.

Not long after, Luotuo arrived in person.

He walked to Li Xiushu's bedside, with a compassionate look on his face, and smiled, "Empress..."

Li Xiushu, whose tears were still wet, just looked at him with puzzled eyes.

This made De Luotuo couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked deeply at Li Xiushu.After a while, he stood up and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid she's lost her mind..."

These words made several of his disciples astonished.

Luo Tuo glanced at them, and said again: "No one is allowed to spread the word about this matter."

"Yes, Master."

Several of his disciples quickly agreed.

Luo Tuo suddenly stuck to Li Xiushu's ear, "I don't care if you are really crazy or pretending to be crazy... In short, I won't let you die now..."

After that, he walked out of the house.

Li Xiushu looked at the few people in the room blankly, but kept crying.

Now she looks like a little girl.Helpless, bewildered and other expressions were vividly displayed on her face, and there was no trace of camouflage.

It's night again.

Li Xiushu in the palace stopped crying, but no one was allowed to get close to her.

Jinghu North Road outside Longyang City.

Zhao Dongting led the army to arrive here.

This kind of marching speed is afraid that the whole world will be stunned by it.

That night, Zhao Dongting still only let the Longyang garrison send out the army rations, and did not lead the army into the city.

And tens of miles away from Zhongxing Mansion, Shi Kaiji and others also received a secret letter, telling them not to act rashly.
