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

Gao family!

Looking at Gao Taiming who committed suicide, the kings and ministers of Dali had complicated thoughts.

Everyone knew that the father and son of the Gao family were powerful officials, seeking to usurp the throne and monopolize power. However, in the face of the massive invasion of the Song army, it was the Gao family who resisted the most resolutely.

The Shanchan Mansion fell and the foundation of the Gao family was destroyed. Gao Shengtai exhausted his last drop of effort to resist the Song army. Gao Taiming committed suicide. If this were left to others, he would definitely be remembered as a loyal minister for eternity.

Are the Gao family father and son loyal or traitorous? At this moment, the emperor and his ministers in Dali could not tell the difference.

Even Zeng Bu hesitated when he saw this scene. The name of their attack on Dali was to defeat the Gao family and return the throne to the Duan family in Dali. However, the performance of the Gao family today put the Song Dynasty into a dilemma.

"What a strong man!"

Suddenly a voice echoed throughout the audience, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Zeng Bu frowned and looked around, and surprisingly found that the person praising Gao Taiming was the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Zeng Bu's heart flashed with anger. Fan Zheng believed that Gao Taiming was a strong man, so he denied that it was wrong for the Song Dynasty to send troops.

However, Fan Zheng didn't seem to see Zeng Bu's questioning eyes, but said loudly: "Even if the officials of the Song Dynasty hear about such loyal people, they will definitely give them a large reward. In the end, I will beg the Privy Council to bury the Gao family father and son in a generous way."

Faced with Fan Zheng's strange behavior, the Song generals did not overreact. After all, everyone knew that the evil doctor Fan Zheng acted strangely.

Zeng Bu also slowly calmed down his anger and began to reflect slightly.

Suddenly, Zeng Bu looked at the leader Duan Zhengchun, and suddenly he had an idea and understood Fan Zheng's intention to do the opposite and praise Gao Shengtai and his son.

Gao Shengtai and his son did not hesitate to die for Dali. Even foreign enemies couldn't help but respect such a deed. Before this, the Song Dynasty did attack Dali on the grounds of attacking the Gao family, and the main target was naturally directed at the Gao family and his son.

But now that the city of Dali has fallen and the Gao family and his son have been executed, the Song Dynasty's strategy will naturally change accordingly. After all, the purpose of the Song Dynasty is to occupy Dali. Now raising the Gao family and his son will naturally weaken the Duan family's authority. After all, The Gao family and his son are already dead, and giving the dead a false name will not affect the authority of the Song Dynasty at all.

At this moment, it is in line with the current interests of the Song Dynasty to elevate the Gao family, weaken the orthodox status of the Duan family, and make Dali divided.

Thinking of this, Zeng Bu then cooperated and said: "We in the Song Dynasty admire loyal ministers the most. The Gao family and his son are loyal not to the Duan family, but to the whole of Dali. When the Gao family is so loyal, the officials of the Song Dynasty will definitely give them a lot of rewards. , give Gao and his son a grand burial!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the Song army came forward and collected the bodies of the Gao family and his son.

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Da Song's actions immediately made his position extremely embarrassing.

"The officials of the Song Dynasty are kind, and Xiao Wang is willing to abdicate voluntarily. Please also ask the Privy Council to save the people of Dali City." Duan Zhengchun said respectfully, and the East Route Army looked at the evil doctor Fan Zheng and couldn't help but feel a flash of fear.

Duan Zhengchun did not expect that the most ruthless killers were not the Song army, but the Southwest Yi and the Thirty-Six East Yunnan tribes within Dali. The East Route Army came all the way east, and the entire hinterland of Dali was destroyed.

While the Northern Route Army went south, the Privy Councilor Zeng Bu used both suppression and pacification, but the loss of the Dali people could be said to be negligible. If they wanted to keep the Bai people in Dali, they could only look to Zeng Bu. If the southwestern tribes were allowed to wreak havoc in Dali City, I'm afraid The entire Bai tribe will be annihilated.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's cooperation, Zeng Bu nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's natural. We, the Song Army, are kings and teachers of benevolence and righteousness. How can we commit random acts of killing and evil? If we pass on the order, from now on, the Song Army will not be defeated." There is no calculation, don’t disturb the people!”

"Yes!"

All the Song generals took their orders one after another.

"I will obey your orders!"

Faced with the order from Privy Councilor Zeng Bu, even Fan Zheng could only bow down and accept the order.

Seeing Fan Zheng's cooperation, Zeng Bu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Fan Zheng's Eastern Route Army looted and committed heinous crimes. If Fan Zheng dared to object, he could take the opportunity to punish Fan Zheng for his crimes and take credit for his victory over Dali. Completely obliterated.

At that moment, Fan Zheng waved his hand and ordered the Eastern Route Army to retreat out of Dali City and station themselves outside Dali City.

"General Fan! We finally broke through Dali City and made tremendous achievements. How could the Song Dynasty treat its heroes like this?" Meng Di from the Momi Division was very dissatisfied when the Eastern Route Army withdrew from Dali City.

Fan Zheng's face turned cold when he heard this and said: "Privy Envoy Zeng Bu is a first-rank official of the imperial court, but Fan is only a fifth-rank official. He only received the title of fourth rank during this expedition. You think Fan can violate the Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty. Military order? Could it be that you want to harm Fan?"

Even though Fan Zheng had great success in controlling the Eastern Route Army and was a popular figure among officials of the Song Dynasty, as a privy envoy, Zeng Bu controlled the military power of the Song Dynasty, which was naturally not something that Fan Zheng, a small fourth-grade general, could resist.

Seeing Fan Zheng getting angry, Monty was suddenly heartbroken and said quickly: "I don't dare?"

Fan Zheng said coldly: "You and other tribesmen have made a lot of money by plundering along the way. When we entered Dali City before, don't say that you didn't take the opportunity to plunder, otherwise how could you not be able to capture the small Dali Palace!"

The faces of all the southwestern ministries suddenly became stern, and it was obvious that the evil doctor Fan Zheng had figured it out.

"Besides, now that the Gao family has been destroyed, the biggest threat to you has been eliminated. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone. Don't be greedy." Fan Zheng changed his previous pleasant expression and said unceremoniously.

"General Fan taught you a lesson!" Yang Changchun quickly bowed his head and said.

Yang Changchun understood that the current situation was not that the Song Army needed them, but that they needed to rely on the Song Army's breath. Now that the three routes of the Song Army had converged, although the Southwest Yi and the Thirty-sixth Division of East Yunnan had the numerical advantage.

However, they are a rabble. In addition, the Song army is well-equipped, including cold-forged armor, divine arm crossbows, and invincible thunder. In addition, the Dali army hates them to the core. If they are angry, The Song Army may be in a worrying situation, and the only thing they can rely on now is the friendship they had fighting side by side with the evil doctor Fan Zheng along the way.

After the clan leaders left, Yang Bangyi couldn't help but snorted: "These barbarians simply don't know how to commend themselves, and they dare to question the general!"

Fan Zheng said disapprovingly: "The reason why the barbarians are barbarians is because they are short-sighted. That's why they were able to be used by us in the past. They will not pose a threat to the imperial court in the future. The real threat is still the white barbarians who have been civilized for a long time."

"General, you are generous!" Yang Bangyi complimented.

At this moment, a messenger came hurriedly and said: "Come to General Fan! Your Majesty the Privy Council has an order to ask Fan Taicheng to discuss military matters!" "Discuss military affairs?"

Fan Zheng frowned. Now that Dali City has been conquered, how could there be any military matters to discuss?

However, the official level was overwhelming, and the Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty sent an order. Fan Zheng did not dare to neglect and immediately went to Dali City to discuss.

The Dali government office is now Zeng Bu's military tent.

In fact, the most suitable place for the Song army to be stationed was the Dali Palace, and Zeng Bu placed the commander's camp in the Dali Palace to avoid suspicion.

Fan Zheng met the ambitious Privy Councilor Zeng Bu, and unexpectedly discovered that Generals Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong of the West Route Army were also there.

"The last general Fan Zheng has met the Privy Councilor! He has met General Zhong and General Yao!"

Fan Zheng stepped forward and bowed.

"I don't dare, I've seen Fan Taicheng before!"

Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong looked at Fan Zheng with admiration. Military achievements have always been given priority in the army, and Fan Zheng's first meddling scheme disrupted the hinterland of Dali, allowing two armies to attack the city of Dali without any effort.

Facing such majestic passes as Longshou Pass, the Song army used all their weapons, but still made slow progress. Who would have thought that Fan Zheng would actually descend from the sky with his magic weapon, and wanted to find a way to overcome the natural dangers of Cangshan Mountain, and launched his second conspiracy A direct attack broke the city of Dali.

Let them break through the Dragon Head Pass and enter Dali City effortlessly.

"A plan to serve as a counselor! I admire Fan Taicheng's clever plan!"

Zeng Bu glanced at Fan Zhengdao complicatedly.

He still couldn't believe that Fan Zheng could create such a miracle with 10,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 side soldiers.

Fan Zheng said modestly: "The general dare not take the credit. If the Privy Council and the two generals had not contained the main force of the Dali army, how could the general have been able to break through to Dali City so easily."

Zeng Bu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now that the city of Dali has been destroyed, the Gao family has been destroyed, and the Duan family of Dali has surrendered, we have completed the goals we set in the past, but there is still a force against me in Dali. Wait until there is a threat to rule Dali."

"Is there still a power?" Zhong Pu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fan Zheng.

You must know that Fan Zheng has nearly 170,000 southwestern barbarians and 36 eastern Yunnan coalition forces under his command. This is an unstable factor for the Song Dynasty!

Fan Zheng frowned and said, "What do you mean, Lord Privy Councilor?"

Zeng Bu said with a ruthless face: "I think the killings in the southwestern tribes are too heavy. It is better to take advantage of them all in Longwei Pass. We only need to close the two passes and we will definitely be able to eliminate them in one fell swoop. This will not only win over the people of Dali, but also kill them all." Heart, it can also eliminate the troubles in the southwest and ensure the stability of the southwest for a hundred years."

"Kill 170,000 southwestern barbarians in one fell swoop!" Zhong Pu, Yao Xiong and others couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, they thought carefully and couldn't help but feel slightly moved. The terrain of Dali City was too special. They could indeed close the door and beat the dogs to kill the 170,000 southwest barbarians. Moreover, after this battle, the southwest tribes would be greatly weakened, allowing the Song Dynasty to relax. Governing the southwest.

When Fan Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "The Great Song Dynasty pays attention to the reputation of teachers. I don't know what the charges are for killing the southwestern ministries."

"The southwestern barbarians burned, killed, and looted along the way, and it was hard to write down anything. Wouldn't everyone be able to kill these thugs?" Zeng Bu said sternly.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "If it weren't for the plundering of the southwestern barbarian tribes, how could the 30,000-strong East Route Army have easily attacked Dali City, and how could they have conquered Dali City? This move by them has contributed to our great Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty avenges its kindness, which army will be willing to fight with the Song army in the future? Besides, is the Privy Council willing to return to the army and kill the various northern Yunnan tribes that are attached to the Northern Route Army?"

Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong nodded slightly. Whether it was the tribes that surrendered to the Song army or the tribes of the southwestern barbarians, they had essentially surrendered to the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty killed them rashly, they would probably completely lose their trust.

"Besides, there are a total of 170,000 people in the southwest, that is, 170,000 pigs. I am afraid it will take a long time to catch them. Although our army can close the door and beat the dogs, the Privy Council must have heard of the dog jumping over the wall and the 170,000 pigs. The bandit's counterattack will inevitably cause damage to the Song army. The people in the southwest were killed by the people of Dali, not the people of the Song Dynasty. Why should we let the soldiers of the Song Dynasty suffer losses?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

Zeng Bu frowned and said, "Fan Taicheng also admitted that these 170,000 barbarians may pose a threat to the Song army."

Fan Zhengxin said: "Your Excellency, the Privy Council is overly worried. These 170,000 troops are divided into the tribes of the Southwest Yi and the thirty-six tribes of East Yunnan. Needless to say, the thirty-six tribes of East Yunnan are divided into four tribes. They are composed of various small tribes, and they are also scattered. Although they have some force, our army has thunder, so why fear the rebellion of the southwest tribes, not to mention the southwest tribes are familiar with the forest climate. In the future, our army will attack Bagan and open up the sea to the West. We also need help from all the ministries in the southwest, how can we destroy the Great Wall now?"

Seeing this, Zhong Pu said: "The Song army has been fighting continuously and is already overwhelmed. It is really not suitable to start another war."

For Zhongpu, they have completed the southward roundabout strategy, and they only need to wait for the court to reward them for their merits. Why take the risk again and fight against 170,000 southwest bandits? If they win, they will lose more than they gain, and if they lose, all their previous efforts will be wasted. .

"These 170,000 barbarians have looted a lot of wealth, money and soldiers along the way. If we don't eliminate the trouble today, it will become a big trouble in the future. Can Fan Taicheng bear the consequences?" Zeng sermon said.

Fan Zheng suddenly understood that Zeng Bu wanted to eliminate the threat from the southwest on the one hand, and on the other hand they were interested in the wealth plundered by the barbarians in the southwest.

"Privy Councilor, don't panic. The Eastern Route Army is marching all the way. Fan Sanming of the Ministry of Commerce has led the caravans to lay out the arrangements behind them. The wealth plundered by these tribes will continue to flow into the Song Dynasty in a short time." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Fan Sanming from the Ministry of Commerce?"

The generals couldn't help but be surprised. No one thought that Fan Zheng had already planned to use merchants to rob the wealth of the southwest tribes bit by bit.

"I admire Fan Taicheng for his foresight!"

Other Song generals also expressed their opinions. Fan Zheng was a popular figure among the officials and the hero who conquered Dali City. Since Fan Zheng was prepared, they naturally did not want to start another war.

Zeng Bu was furious when he saw that the generals were supporting Fan Zheng and that his last chance to make a contribution was completely lost. Although he was the privy envoy, he ordered an attack on the southwestern ministries.

However, the East Route Army and the West Route Army were only nominally under his command. The only real direct lineage was the North Route Army, not to mention that the opponent had 170,000 troops. His North Route Army alone might not be able to win.

Zeng Bu did not expect that he had just succeeded in destroying the country by force in Dali City, but in the blink of an eye he would be humiliated by the evil doctor Fan Zheng. It was a slap in the face too quickly.

"Since Fan Taicheng is the guarantor of the southwest ministries, this matter will be left as it is for the time being. The next thing that needs to be discussed is how to completely bring Dali under the rule of the Song Dynasty." Zeng Bu finally gave up the plan, but did not forget to dig a hole for Fan Zheng.

In the future, there will be rebellions in various parts of the southwest, and Fan Zheng will inevitably be involved. (End of chapter)
