Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 603 Meeting the Lord of Dali

Hu Yanting and Zhao Bo are getting closer to Dali!

Along the way, Hu Yanting was secretly looking at the mountains and rivers of Dali, secretly surprised in his heart.

The scenery here is completely different from the white mountains and black waters in Liaodong. It is already the weather of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still green trees and camellias here. The scenery is extremely beautiful.The winter climate here is warmer than the spring climate in Liaodong.

Along the way, Hu Yanting also saw countless temples.Many people went to the temple to burn incense, and many of them were dressed as scholars.Seeing that the expressions of these people are unusually peaceful and quiet, it should be because of the influence of Buddhism.

On December 12, a large city appeared in front of them.This big city gives people an unusually simple and elegant feeling. It seems that it has been standing here for quite a long time.Unlike the cities in the north, there are not many soldiers at the gate of the city here, and it is difficult to see soldiers even on the city walls.

"Ahead is my capital city of Dali." Zhao Bo, governor of Shanju County, said.

"Okay, let's go there now." Hu Yanting said.

There were more than 20 people in their party, except Zhao Bo who was dressed as a Dali native, the rest were all wearing Liangshan military uniforms!Therefore, they have not really approached Dali City, and someone has already reported their whereabouts.

Hu Yanting was about to reach the gate of Dali City, at this time the main gate of Dali City opened, and more than a hundred people came out from the front.Among these more than a hundred people, the leader was actually wearing a dragon robe, and it was Duan Heyu, the ruler of Dali Kingdom.

Hu Yanting was surprised in his heart, although he was the envoy of Daliang, and Daliang was the kingdom of Shang, but he did not have the extravagant hope that the Lord of Dali would come out to welcome him in person!But he didn't know that this was also the result of Duan Zhengchun's careful thinking!Duan Zhengchun felt that only the ruler of Dali came out to greet him in person to show the sincerity of the Duan family of Dali, so as to save a way out for the Duan family of Dali in the future!Although the Dali Duan Clan doesn't have much real power, they can still decide for themselves when they come out to meet the envoy.

Hu Yanting looked at Duan Heyu, and he found that Duan Heyu had a refined temperament, which made him not look like the lord of a country, but like a literati!At the moment Hu Yanting just bent down to salute, and said: "The envoy of Daliang has seen the Lord of Dali!"

Duan Heyu smiled and said: "Daliang's envoy has come from afar, but I don't know your envoy's surname is Gao, and what position does he hold in Daliang?"

Hu Yanting said: "I am Hu Yanting, commander of the Third Division under the Daliang Third Group Army!"

Duan Heyu didn't know what the title of "teacher" was, but when he heard the words Hu Yanting, his heart moved, and he said, "I don't know what is the relationship between your envoy and Hu Yanzan?"

Huyan Zan was the famous founder of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was famous all over the world, and Duan Heyu had also heard of Huyan Zan's name.

Hu Yanting said: "This is the ancestor!"

Duan Heyu nodded slightly, and said: "It turns out that they are descendants of the Huyan family, no wonder they look so heroic! A family of famous generals has produced a large number of talents, and it really deserves its reputation!"

Hu Yanting said: "Thank you for the praise, the lord, I dare not take it!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Duan Heyu threw Hu Yanting into Dali City!This Dali city reveals the Buddhist temperament everywhere, and they can see a small temple every time they pass a street!Along the way, they could see monks or ordinary people at any time, and these monks and ordinary people did not avoid the holy car!On the one hand, the government of Dali is relatively close to the people. On the other hand, it can also be seen that the Dali Duan family does not have much real power in Dali City.

Hu Yanting was surprised by this, but Duan Heyu didn't take it seriously.As a puppet, as long as he can eat, drink and have relative freedom, it is enough. As for the so-called "power" and "coercion", Duan Heyu never dared to expect extravagantly.

"The palace is ahead!" Duan Heyu said with a smile as he walked around another street.

The Dali Palace is located in the middle of Dali, and Hu Yanting was invited into the Dali Palace at the moment.

Dali's palace does not have the grandeur of the Daliao and Song palaces, but it is more quiet and elegant.There are very few guards and eunuchs here, and the sound of chanting can be heard from time to time, which makes people feel as if they have entered a temple.

Duan Heyu brought Hu Yanting to the Palace of Political Affairs, and Hu Yanting found that many people had arrived here!One of them looks ordinary, but his whole person has a coercive temperament. This person is the only one sitting there in the hall, and the rest of the ministers are standing there!Hu Yanting immediately judged that this person was Dali's Xiangguo Gaoliangcheng, the patriarch of Dali's Gao family, and the real master of Dali!

Duan Heyu sat on the throne, but no matter whether he came in or sat down, none of Dali's courtiers saluted him, and none of them declared long live.Duan Heyu was already accustomed to this, and just sat and watched the scene below.

"This person must be Daliang's envoy?" Gao Liangcheng asked.

"Da Liang Hu Yanting has met the Prime Minister, and all the lords!" Hu Yanting saluted.

"Why did your envoy come here?" High-volume enlightenment.

"My Daliang army of [-] troops has already entered Dali territory, and Dali is definitely not my Daliang opponent! My Daliang commander doesn't want to see people dying, so he sent me to persuade you to surrender." Hu Yanting said.

"One hundred thousand troops?" Gao Liangcheng pondered.

He nodded secretly. In fact, he had sent someone to investigate before, and he knew that Liangshan probably had this many troops. It seems that the envoy of Daliang did not lie!

Gao Liangcheng secretly thought about the strength comparison between Dali and Liangshan. If Dali dispatched the whole country, it would have about 20 troops, while Liangshan would only have 10 troops!They live in Dali, which is their hometown, and their understanding of this place is far better than that of Liangshan, so they have geography, people and harmony, and it is not impossible to block 20 people with 10 people!

Although he has been in charge of Dali for more than ten years and is known as a wise and powerful man, he is still inferior to Duan Zhengchun. He does not have the vision of Duan Zhengchun, and he does not see Liang Shan's real purpose. There is also a big deviation in the judgment of strength!

"Do you think that Dali will definitely be able to destroy me?" At this moment, a minister below shouted and asked.

"It's natural. Our army of [-] is invincible across the north. We wiped out the once powerful Khitan and Xixia, let alone a mere Dali?" Hu Yanting said.

The minister wanted to ask again, but Gao Liangcheng interrupted the minister and said, "You Daliang want to persuade us to surrender, what do you rely on? Money? Power? Status? If we surrender, what will we gain?"

Hu Yanting said: "If Dali is willing to surrender to Daliang, the ruler of Dali will be the governor of Yunnan in the future, and he will guard Dali all the time and enjoy the wealth!"

Gao Liangcheng was stunned, and said, "What good does my Gao family have?"

Hu Yanting said: "The Gao family is just the courtiers of Dali. Before I came, our army commander said that we can give you a way of life at that time, and spare you!"

A hint of anger appeared on Gao Liangcheng's face!Their Gao family is courtiers in name, but in fact they are the masters of Dali!Now that Liangshan is recruiting Dali, he only considers the Duan family and not the Gao family. This is absolutely unacceptable to him!

"We still have to discuss and discuss the matter of surrender." Gao Quan became enlightened.

"Okay! I'm waiting for the answers from the adults." Hu Yanting said.

"The envoy will stay in Dali City first. If you have time, you can visit Dali City and see how Dali City compares to the famous cities in the north!" Gao Liang became enlightened.

"Thank you so much!" Hu Yanting said.

In this political hall, Duan Heyu didn't say a word!Because here, he is not qualified to speak at all!In the Palace of Political Affairs, Gao Liangcheng is the real lord of the country.

******

Gao Liangcheng returned to his home. His nephew Gao Zhenshou had already received news from the palace. He was summoning soldiers, but now he returned in a hurry.

"Uncle, Daliang is too deceitful! That Duan clan is just a puppet, yet he can still become the chief executive of Dali. I, Gao clan, is the master of Dali, so I can only avoid death! We will never surrender!" Gao Zhenshou said.

"It's natural. I want to fight to the death with Daliang! Now Daliang only occupies Shanju County, and we have countless cities in Dali. I want to gather heavy troops from all over the country and deploy them in the Jinsha River area! We rely on cities and mountains. It can stop the big beams and strong soldiers! At that time, Dali will still be the Dali of my Gao family!" Gao Quanguo concluded.

"Uncle, that Daliang's envoy is rude, we should kill this envoy!" Gao Zhenshou was excited when he heard that his uncle had decided to fight, and he said again immediately.

"If the two countries go to war, don't behead envoys! Besides, if Daliang is really powerful, if we kill his envoys, we will offend them severely, which is not good for us." Gao Liangcheng shook his head.

Gao Zhenshou nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Late that night, Hu Yanting lived in the Honglu Temple in Dali.There is also a Buddhist hall in this Honglu Temple. Hu Yanting prayed for a while in the Buddhist hall, hoping that the Buddha would bless the Huyan family to rise again and regain their brilliance.He decided not only to work hard for himself, but also for some of his clansmen and brothers. Only by working together can the Huyan family be truly invigorated.

However, at this moment, he faintly heard footsteps outside.

The sound of the footsteps was unusually slight, as if it came from an assassin.He can become Master Liang Shan, Yue Fei's right-hand man. Apart from his good background, his own military strength is also quite extraordinary.

But Hu Yanting didn't go out, he was still praying silently there.

And at this moment, the sound of "whoosh" sounded, and after a while, there was a scream outside, and another person fell from the roof.

The soldiers led by Hu Yanting had already quietly approached these assassins, and they easily ended the lives of these assassins with their hand crossbows.You know, they are all warriors who have come out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and it is no problem to deal with a few assassins.

Hu Yanting finally walked out of the Buddhist hall. He looked at the assassin's body on the ground with a sneer on his face.
