Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

"The officials of the Song Dynasty send their regards to His Majesty Dali!"

In the Dali Palace, under the watchful eyes of the Dali monarchs and ministers, the envoys of the Song Dynasty were unfazed and polite.

"The troops are approaching the city! Is this how the officials of the Song Dynasty say hello?"

Before Duan Zhengchun could speak, Gao Taiming, who had a fiery personality, said angrily.

Because of the Song Dynasty's military intervention, the entire Shanchan Mansion was breached and the foundation of the Gao family was destroyed. Gao Taiming naturally hated the Song Dynasty deeply.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty sneered: "If the Gao family had not plotted to usurp the throne and endanger the imperial court, how could the Song Dynasty send troops to support justice?"

Gao Taiming suddenly became angry. He did not expect that the envoys of the Song Dynasty were actually in the Dali court.

Gao Shengtai said coldly: "It's not the Song Dynasty's turn to interfere in Dali's affairs!"

The envoy of the Song Dynasty proudly said: "We, the Song Dynasty, are the kingdom of Heaven, and Dali is a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. The Duan family of Dali has paid tribute to the Song Dynasty for many years, so the Song Dynasty will naturally stand up for the Duan family."

Duan Zhengchun suddenly looked embarrassed. If the Song Dynasty had not sent troops to intervene, I am afraid that the Gao family would not have easily returned the imperial power to the Duan family. However, the Song Dynasty also had good intentions. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Dali, the Song Dynasty sent troops to have the momentum to annex Dali.

Duan Zhengchun coughed dryly and said: "Since the Prime Minister has returned the throne to the Duan family, if the Song Dynasty soldiers can withdraw, I am willing to offer you a heavy gift to thank you!"

Duan Zhengchun tried to smooth things over. Although the Duan family had usurped power, they had already made an oath to Cangshan and Erhai to return power to the Duan family. The Song army, whose army was pressing down on the border, was Dali's biggest enemy. For this reason, Duan Zhengchun finally fought with the Gao family. Advance and retreat together.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty sighed: "Dali has never read history books. You can believe the words of rebellious ministers and traitors like Gao, let alone the ridiculous Cangshan Erhai Oath. Sima Yi also made the Luoshui Oath at the beginning, but the result was... Didn't he just fall out and seize Cao Wei's kingdom?"

The Dali court was even more embarrassed. They were not the leaders of the Thirty-sixth Division of Eastern Yunnan and knew only a little about the history of the Song Dynasty. Almost all the courtiers were proficient in the culture of the Song Dynasty. They naturally understood the oaths of Sima Yi and Luo Shui. In comparison, , who can guarantee that once the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty leave, the Gao family, who controls the military and political power of Dali, will not immediately fall out and plot to usurp the throne just like Sima Yi.

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but look embarrassed. The problem was that he had no idea.

Gao Taiming was furious and said: "The little envoy actually provoked the relationship between my monarch and my ministers. Someone came and killed the Song envoy in retaliation for the Song army killing my people in Dali."

At that moment, a group of soldiers rushed to the court, preparing to push the Song Dynasty envoy out of the hall and kill him!

The envoy of the Song Dynasty laughed when he heard this and said: "It seems that the Song Dynasty was right to send troops. The Dali court has long been dominated by the Gao family. Without His Majesty Dali's nod, he actually killed the envoys of the two countries on the spot."

Gao Taiming was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the envoy of the Song Dynasty was so sharp-tongued that he killed Duan and Gao.

Duan Zhengchun suddenly looked unhappy and said: "If the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed. General Gao must not be impulsive."

Gao Shengtai's heart sank and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty killed countless people in Dali. Now there are troops coming to Dali with the intention of annexing Dali. Please order the execution of the envoys of the Song Dynasty to avenge the people of Dali. , to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Gao Shengtai was old and powerful, and he immediately understood that Duan Zhengchun was unwilling to kill the Song envoy. Even if the Song Dynasty invaded Dali City in the future, the Duan family would have a way out. They would just switch from the puppets of the Gao family to the puppets of the Song Dynasty!

However, the Gao family had no way out. They could only kill the envoys of the Song Dynasty and coerce Duan Zhengchun and Dali to fight against the Song Dynasty.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty naturally understood Gao Shengtai's plan, and immediately said: "I can understand the situation of Mr. Gao. In the history books of the Han people, there are countless examples of powerful officials who died without a burial place. If I were Mr. Gao, I would not give up easily. The power in your hands.”

Gao Shengtai's face suddenly twitched, and the envoys of the Song Dynasty directly shaved off the faces of Duan Zhengchun and the Gao family in the court hall.

Duan Zhengchun also had a stern look on his face. Just as he doubted whether the Gao family would usurp power again, the Gao family also had doubts. If the Duan family came to power in the future, the Gao family might be liquidated. After all, no one dared to bet their wealth and life on others. in a moment.

All Dali officials in the court were silent. Everyone knew this truth, but no one said it in public. Now the envoys of the Song Dynasty broke the window paper in public.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty laughed and said: "The Song Dynasty came here to solve the troubles of the Duan family and the Gao family. As long as you and others open the city, the Song Dynasty will act as a guarantee, so that you can end this dispute between kings and ministers with dignity."

Duan Zhengchun's heart suddenly pounded. The Duan family was now the puppet of the Gao family and his son. It could be said that the situation was precarious. In this case, why not surrender to the Song Dynasty and maybe the Duan family could be saved.

Gao Shengtai suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the Song envoy and said: "We will wait for Kaicheng to surrender and let the Song Dynasty annex Dali. This is the Song Dynasty's plan!"

At this point, the envoy of the Song Dynasty did not mince words and said directly: "The coast of the country is not the land of the king. The Song Dynasty needs to mobilize all its strength to deal with the Liaoxia. Now that it has conquered the Qingtang Tubo, it is impossible to let Dali be in the rear of the Song Dynasty." , in the future Dali will be merged into the Song Dynasty, and all of you will be ministers of the Song Dynasty, especially the Gao family will be reused by the imperial court."

Now the ministers in Dali nodded slightly. They had expected this. Fan Zheng was a minister, so naturally he would be the minister of everyone.

Duan Zhengchun is a puppet emperor who has never really controlled the power and is not too obsessed with the throne. However, the Gao family and his son are struggling. The Gao family has always said that they are the real masters of Dali, let alone Gao Shengtai. After usurping the throne and ascending the throne, he had already regarded Dali as his own. Once he surrendered, the Gao family in Dali would really lose the most.

Gao Shengtai laughed loudly and said: "The Gao family has been a minister of Dali for generations. They would rather die than be a minister of the Song Dynasty. I have dedicated my life to Dali. Today I will kill the envoys of the Song Dynasty to show that I am Duan. Keep the destiny of the country in mind.”

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, think again!" Duan Zhengchun quickly advised.

Now that Dali City has been attacked from the north and south by the Song Dynasty, the situation may be precarious. If the envoys of the Song Dynasty are killed and the city is breached in the future, the Song army may retaliate.

Gao Shengtai said proudly: "I know that your majesty does not believe in me, but your majesty wants to believe in my heart for Dali. I will make my own decision on this matter for once. If the Song army is defeated in this battle, I will order the Gao family to completely return power. I am loyal to the Duan family. If this battle fails, all the anger of the Song army will be directed at me alone and will not involve you all."

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"

The monarchs and ministers of Dali could not help but exclaim, looking at Gao Shengtai with mixed expressions.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty could not help but panic. He did not expect that the Song Dynasty had already attacked Dali City from the north and the south, and Gao Shengtai actually dared to kill him.

"Gao Shengtai, our Song Dynasty's 100,000-strong army is under Dali City. If you make a move, you will not be able to bear the consequences." The Song Dynasty envoy sneered.

Gao Shengtai sneered: "Longshou Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has never been breached since it was built. The Tang Dynasty's 100,000-strong army was wiped out at Longshou Pass, let alone the weak Song Dynasty. If you fight me, Dali will win."

At that moment, Gao Taiming couldn't wait to suppress the envoys of the Song Dynasty. He wanted to directly kill the envoys of the Song Dynasty and completely tie the Dali monarchs and ministers to Gao's chariot.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty suddenly broke out in cold sweat. At the critical moment of life and death, he suddenly came to an idea and said: "Even if Longshou Pass has never been breached, what about Longshou Pass? It is said that it was only breached by tens of thousands of people from the Bagan Kingdom, and signed with Dali An alliance under the city." "Longwei Pass!"

Gao Taiming's actions couldn't help but stagnate. Longweiquan was breached by the Bagan dynasty in the south decades ago, and they attacked Dali City. They forced the Dali royal family to sign an alliance under the city. They paid a heavy price before Bagan could withdraw its troops.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty saw an opportunity and immediately said: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng is now leading an army of 200,000 to Longwei Pass. His behavior is extremely evil. Only Privy Council Zeng Bu can restrain him. Since the Gao family If you are willing to be a lone minister of Dali, then I am also willing to be a lone minister of the Song Dynasty. However, if the Song Dynasty's 200,000-strong army invades Longwei Pass, without the restraint of Privy Council Zeng, I am afraid that no one in the entire Dali City will be spared. .”

"No one is spared!"

The entire Dali monarchs and ministers couldn't help but tremble. They had always known that the Song Dynasty was a country where monarchs and ministers adhered to etiquette. Even if Dali killed the envoys of the Song Dynasty, as long as they surrendered to the Song Dynasty after the city was broken, they would definitely be able to save themselves.

However, this was not the case with the evil doctor Fan Zheng. He came all the way east. Although the Song Army, like the Northern Route Army and the West Route Army, did not actively cause murder except to destroy the city, it still coerced a large number of barbarians and allowed them to burn, kill and loot. Along the way, he caused endless killings and made the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng stop children from crying in Dali.

"General, think twice!"

"When two armies are fighting, they will not kill the envoys. This is the rule from ancient times."

A group of Dali officials were shocked when they heard this and quickly tried to dissuade them. If Gao Taiming killed the envoys of the Song Dynasty and later the evil doctor Fan Zheng broke through Longwei Pass and allowed 200,000 bandits to plunder Dali City, they might not be able to survive. Disaster.

"Impossible, Longwei Pass has indeed been breached before, but that was because Dali was in civil strife and had insufficient defenders, which gave Bagan a chance. After this battle, Dali had already strengthened Longwei Pass, and it was definitely beyond the reach of manpower! "Gao Taiming said sharply.

Dali has long paid a huge price to finally make up for the weakness of Longwei Pass, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng only has 30,000 Song troops who are directly related to him. The others are just a mob. It is impossible to follow the evil doctor Fan Zheng to die at Longwei Pass. .

The envoy of the Song Dynasty sighed quietly: "He is the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and his evil methods have never failed. Countless people in the Song Dynasty once questioned the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and all of them were slapped in the face."

The monarchs and ministers of Dali couldn't help but remain silent. Even though they were in Dali, they still heard about the evil doctor Fan Zheng for a long time.

Seeing that the use of evil doctor Fan Zheng to intimidate was effective, the envoy of the Song Dynasty was moved and said: "That's right! Because the evil doctor Fan Zheng and Dali took the initiative to withdraw, the Song army could successfully reach Longshou Pass. Did the evil doctor Fan Zheng ever send Are you here to persuade us to surrender?"

Gao Taiming couldn't help but change his face, and angrily shouted: "You are a dying man, and you dare to inquire about military information!"

The envoy of the Song Dynasty said happily and without fear: "I am already about to die, why can't I satisfy my curiosity?"

Gao Taiming and Gao Shengtai looked at each other, and the latter nodded slowly. The envoys of the Song Dynasty wanted to get information from them, and they also wanted to get information about the evil doctor Fan Zheng from the envoys of Dali.

Gao Taiming then nodded and said: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng led 200,000 troops and only stationed outside Dali City. He did not persuade him to surrender, nor did he attack the city!"

The envoy of the Song Dynasty sneered: "How much does it cost to feed and drink 200,000 horses every day? And I think Dali will definitely strengthen its walls and clear the country. The evil doctor Fan Zheng will definitely not get much food and grass. However, the evil doctor Fan Zheng is not impatient. Not only did they not use 200,000 troops to force Dali to surrender, they also did not use their numerical advantage to attack the city in one fell swoop! Why? Don’t you think it’s strange?”

The monarchs and ministers of Dali suddenly took a breath of cold air. They saw that the evil doctor Fan Zheng did not attack the city on a large scale, and they were secretly glad. However, after the envoys of the Song Dynasty told them, they discovered how strange the evil doctor Fan Zheng's behavior was.

"Then why do you think the evil doctor Fan Zheng is like this!" Duan Zhengchun asked eagerly.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty smiled bitterly and said: "No one in the world can guess what the evil doctor Fan Zheng will do. Only when his evil prescription comes out, the world can only be amazed."

The envoy of the Song Dynasty did not have the slightest bias in his words, but said it from the bottom of his heart. The evil prescriptions of the evil doctor Fan Zheng have never failed, and it is incredible.

Gao Shengtai's expression changed and he immediately ordered: "Send the order and immediately strengthen the defense of Longwei Pass, focusing on guarding against evil doctor Fan Zheng's gunpowder weapons."

The evil doctor Fan Zheng came all the way east and used gunpowder weapons to destroy countless cities. In the eyes of the kings and ministers of Dali, if the evil doctor Fan Zheng wanted to break through Longwei Pass, the most powerful force might be gunpowder weapons.

At that moment, Gao Taiming accepted the order, frowned as he looked at the envoy of the Song Dynasty who was about to be beheaded, and said, "Father, what should we do with the envoy of the Song Dynasty?" "

Gao Shengtai frowned, looking at the expectant eyes of the kings and ministers in the court, and finally compromised: "If the two armies are fighting, we will not kill the envoy. Send him out of Longshou Pass and tell the Song army that I, Dali, will never surrender."

The envoy of the Song Dynasty couldn't help but breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and felt cold sweat on his back. He originally thought that he would die, but he actually saved his life with the help of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

However, when he saw Gao Taiming leaving in a hurry, he couldn't help but sneer. If the evil prescription of evil doctor Fan Zheng can be cracked by you, then evil doctor Fan Zheng will not have such a great reputation.

Seeing that the envoy had returned safely, Zeng Bu couldn't wait to ask: "Are the kings and ministers of Dali willing to surrender?"

The envoy of the Song Dynasty shook his head and said: "Duan Zhengchun seemed to be willing to surrender, but the Gao family and his son were determined not to surrender. They tried to kill Xiaguan in an attempt to strengthen the hearts of the monarchs and ministers in the dynasty to resist the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, Xiaguan got smart in his desperation and used Fan Taicheng's name to get the chance. A life was saved."

The envoy of the Song Dynasty is still frightened. From now on, he will definitely admire the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Zeng Bu and Zhong Pu Yao Xiong couldn't help but frown when they heard the performance of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. They naturally knew that with the power of the current gunpowder weapons in the Song Dynasty, they probably would not be able to break through dangerous passes such as the Dragon Head Pass and the Dragon Tail Pass. Not even the ones with added sugar.

"We can't guess Fan Taicheng's evil plan. The only thing we can do now is attack Longshou Pass to contain Dali's troops." Zhong Pu said with a solemn expression.

Zeng Bu nodded and said: "Perhaps Fan Zhengnai is bluffing, and his real intention is to set up a confusing formation to deliberately paralyze the enemy and wait for the Central and West Route Army to break the city."

In his opinion, Fan Zheng was a rabble, and the elite Song troops he led were all elite. Moreover, the evil doctor Fan Zheng had more gunpowder weapons than his army.

Moreover, Zeng Bu was quite dissatisfied. Among the three armies, he led the most soldiers and walked the smoothest north road. But who would have thought that Fan Zheng would pass through the east road and attack Dali City first.

If Fan Zheng is allowed to take the lead in breaking the city, he will definitely lose face.

"Break the Dragon Head Pass!"

Zeng Bu waved his hand and gave an order to the center of Longshou Guan. Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong had a clever plan to cross the leather bag of the Song Dynasty. The evil doctor Fan Zheng had a clever plan to break through the belly. Zeng Bu had never been able to break through it. The city's Longshou Pass to complete his great achievements. (End of chapter)
