Chapter 825 Multi-party Calculations
After defeating the Dali elite, Wu Lin sent his troops to Yangzui City, the capital of Dali.
On July 23, a hundred miles away from the city of Yangzui, Duan Zhengxing sent an envoy to Song Ying on behalf of the Dali Kingdom.
Dali State welcomed the Song army with the highest standards.
However, the two sides had just fought a battle, and it was impossible for Wu Lin to go to Yangzui City alone unless he brought an army with him.
But it is absolutely impossible for the monarchs and ministers of Dali to agree to bring the army.
According to the news sent by the scouts, Dali Royal City has been recruiting young men from around the city during this period.
In some places, food is even being destroyed.
Duan Zhengyan sent his son to thank the Song army, while secretly setting up defenses.
As long as Song Jun dared to break through the bottom line, he would fight with Song Jun.
Don't forget, there is still a group of elites in the royal capital.
Even if the Song army is not a match for them head-on, it is still possible to fight a protracted war.
What the Song Army feared most was fighting a protracted war.
Fighting a protracted war in the mountainous country of Dali is simply hell mode.
Duan Zhengxing said in suppressed Chinese: "Wu Shuai, I have heard about his famous name for a long time, and my ears are like thunder."
His Chinese has a Sichuan flavor from the Sichuan region, and fortunately everyone has an interpreter present.
"We have long heard of the virtuous name of the prince," Yan Pei said.
"Wu Shuai helped us calm down the internal chaos. Your Majesty is very grateful and would like to invite Wu Shuai to the royal capital to talk about it."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I'm here on the order of the Emperor. I'm afraid it's not good to go to the royal capital. After all, I, a man of tens of thousands, will go to the royal capital to increase consumption for your country."
There is something in Wu Lin's words.
He originally only had 5,000 people, but Dali didn't know that he only had 5,000 people.
He even defeated Gao Liangcheng's elite troops, and the capital now guessed that he had at least 20,000 Song troops in his hands.
And Wu Lin said, "It will increase consumption for your country," which means that I can go to the royal capital and bring tens of thousands of soldiers to the royal capital with swords.
It's hard to say these words clearly.
But when it comes to this level, Duan Zhengxing has already heard it.
He was also embarrassed to say that you couldn't bring people there.
If he said that, he more or less had the intention of deceiving Wu Lin and murdering her.
Duan Zhengxing just gave a wry smile and said: "Wu Shuai has many things to do every day. It is indeed inconvenient, and we will not force it."
Yan Pei took over the message and said: "Since the prince has come to our camp, it means that the leader of Dali Kingdom has decided that Gao Liangcheng is guilty. Please arrest the Gao family quickly and send someone to capture the fleeing Gao Liangcheng."
Duan Zhengxing thought to himself: What my father said is indeed reasonable. The Song Dynasty is going to kill the Gao family.
Duan Zhengxing's dissatisfaction with the Gao family is naturally not due to personal grudges, but a power struggle.
After his father's reminder, he would never think of killing the Gao family again.
Duan Zhengxing said: "I will report the truth to you when I get back."
Duan Zhengxing left.
Yan Pei asked: "Wu Shuai, what should we do next?"
"What's next?" Wu Lin said with a smile, "Drink and eat meat, and wait for the announcement from the court."
This place is close to the capital of Dali, with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. A large amount of baggage was seized, and a lot of food was obtained by hunting in this area.
What should I do if I’m still worried?
Next, while Duan Zhengyan was gathering troops near the royal capital, he also sent his son to the front line to collect troops.
As for withdrawing troops from the front line?
It is absolutely impossible to withdraw!
After all, Fan Zongyin's Song army is still there.
In other words, Duan Zhengyan deployed two lines of defense to guard against the two Song armies.
It's not over yet, Duan Zhengyan also plans to send an envoy to meet Fan Zongyin and send an envoy to Tokyo City.
Set the tone for the future relationship between the two countries.
We can't keep Wu Linchu in Dali, right?
Then how could Duan Zhengyan sleep at night?
Time flies by so fast, and August has already entered in a blink of an eye.
Autumn tigers are rampant in Tokyo during the day, and it gets cooler at night.
Wang Boyan had just finished writing a letter to Zhao Gou. In the letter, he mentioned the recent events in the court regarding the campaign against Dali, and also mentioned some things that happened after Lu Yihao entered the political hall.
Qin Hui was also mentioned.
In his letter, he tactfully mentioned Qin Hui's ambitions and Wang's ambitions.
It means that Qin Hui will fall sooner or later, and reminds King Kang to keep a certain distance from Qin Hui, and it is best not to involve too much in the interest exchange.
In fact, Wang Boyan himself was alarmist in his letter.
He was not sure whether Qin Hui would fall. He just didn't want Zhao Gou to rely too much on Qin Hui. Otherwise, where would his position as Wang Boyan be?
After writing the letter, Wang Boyan hurried to Qin Mansion and met Wang.
There is nothing I can do, Wang always shouts so suddenly and in such a hurry.
"lady."
"You came."
"What's wrong ma'am?"
"Recently, the court has been full of quarrels over the matter of Dali Kingdom, but there has been no real result."
"Ma'am, why should you be anxious?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but if I throw a few stones down, I should at least see splashes, right?"
Wang Boyan also felt strange.
Fan Zongyin has been traveling south for several months, and it stands to reason that he has killed several people in Dali.
This military expenditure must be like running water.
How did the Zhao Guan family stay calm?
"Madam, there is no need to worry. There has been endless debate about this matter in the court recently. At first, Zhao Ding was able to suppress it, but now it can no longer be suppressed. The most important thing is that the national treasury will not be able to support it."
"You mean, the critical moment has arrived?" Wang was overjoyed.
"Yes, I heard that the issue of the treasury has been quarreling for more than a month. Yesterday, Mei Zhili reported that he was ill at home."
"Mei Zhili is sick at home?"
"Yes, absolutely true."
"Is he really sick?"
"Of course it's a lie." Wang Boyan said with a smile, "After I visit my wife, I will bring some valuable gifts to visit Shangshu Mei. The key to withdrawing troops this time is Shangshu Mei. As long as he strongly objects, he will use the treasury as a threat.
, Zhao Guan’s family won’t be able to support it for long.”
"Then why don't you go quickly?"
"Oh, yes, I'll go right away."
After leaving Qin Mansion, Wang Boyan couldn't help but sigh, Qin Hui's wife is really powerful.
Mei Zhili's residence was near Daxiangguo Temple, and Wang Boyan got off the carriage.
At first, the housekeeper rejected Mei Zhili because he was ill.
However, Wang Boyan still asked the housekeeper to hand over the letter of greeting.
After a while, the housekeeper came out and said, "Mr. Wang, please come inside."
When Mei Zhili saw Wang Boyan, he said seriously: "Why do you come to see me?"
Mei Zhili, a financial person, is very strict, and his whole person looks like a piece of wood carving.
"I heard that Mei Shangshu was ill. There are some thousand-year-old ginseng here in Xiaguan..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
Wang Boyan said: "I dare to ask Mei Shangshu, do you think changing rice to mulberry in Jiangdong is a good strategy for the country and the people?"
"What is your identity? Can you discuss this issue with me in private?"
