Duan Zhenglong was famous in the southwest. It wasn't until the great talent came here that he lost three games in a row.
But these three games don't explain anything.
Mainly because Zhuge Liannu's power was shown to others for the first time.
Duan Zhenglong's strength cannot be ignored, and he is still an excellent commander, especially since he has been guarding Quzhou for many years, and no one is more familiar with him than him.
The Prince of Dali just captured him like this. Isn't he afraid that he would take advantage of their civil strife and directly capture Quzhou?
Of course, Lindbergh was a pacifist.
There was nothing he could do about such a troublesome thing as fighting, so he was determined not to do it.
But Dali didn't know what he was thinking.
In the eyes of the world, he opened up the Hexi Corridor and swept across the grassland. He had an absolutely fierce reputation. Facing such a person, it was impossible for Dali not to be on guard.
Instead, Duan Zhenglong was captured. What could Prince Dali rely on?
There is a more powerful commander in Dali.
Or does the other party have a back-up plan?
Lin Bai was a little confused, and he always felt that it was not that simple behind it, but it was useless to think about it now, and after all, it had nothing to do with him, and he was not interested in paying attention to it.
Since ancient times, most military generals did not die on the battlefield, but in court.
Let’s observe a minute’s silence for Duan Zhenglong!
Yan Gang said at this time: "Uncle, Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom have always maintained a close relationship. We in this industry are afraid..."
There was a worried look on his face.
Lin Bai also smiled bitterly. He had previously learned that Princess Zhenbei secretly entered the capital of Vientiane and suspected that something had happened to Duan Zhenglong. He still held on to a glimmer of hope and was prepared to wait patiently for two days to see if there was an opportunity.
What seems non-existent now is that the two countries have an extremely close relationship.
The odds are getting slimmer.
Whatever!
Lin Bai was not discouraged. He thought for a while and said, "Go and find out how much private land there is in Lezhou. I remember that it is all mountainous and extremely barren..."
Lezhou is the place within the Wanxiang Kingdom that borders the southwest and Xirong.
The area of this place is not too big, but it is the only way to go to Xirong from the southwest. Then it is impossible to go through Sichuan and Shu. Lao Zhu wants to blockade the southwest and cannot give way to himself, so he can only decide Fight to the land of Lezhou.
As Lin Bai spoke, he also took out the Kanyu map and drew a route on it.
He said: "The area along this direction must be clear. It must be private and have land deeds. It doesn't matter if it is a little detoured, as long as the direction is correct."
Yan Gang was obviously a little puzzled, with a confused look on his face.
Zhuiyue seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, "Uncle, you don't want to buy this area, do you?"
If you really buy this area, it will be too simple to open a road.
Yan Gang shook his head and said: "No! It is absolutely forbidden to sell the land in Wanxiang Kingdom to other countries. The government can't pass it. Even if it is sold, it will not be recognized and the money will be wasted."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Why buy it?"
Not buying?
Yan Gang looked puzzled.
Lin Bai said: "You will know in the future, go and find out quickly!"
"yes!"
Yan Gang did not dare to neglect and quickly retreated.
…
Li family.
Ling Xiyu's face was very ugly. She had contacted many people in the past few days, but the result was obvious. Even her own imperial brother said that he was not allowed to interfere in such matters. Who else could she contact.
Li Taiqing comforted him from the side: "Xiyu, don't worry. If it really doesn't work, I'll go and beg Your Majesty."
Just as he was talking, Li Jiuan came in a hurry.
"Second cousin, how are you?"
Ling Xiyu quickly stepped forward and asked.
Li Jiuan's face looked ugly, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Li Taiqing said angrily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly and if you have farts, say it quickly. Hesitating, what does it look like?"
Li Jiuan had no choice but to say: "There is bad news from Dali, saying that Zhenglong intends to commit treason. The evidence is conclusive and he has been detained now."
What!
Although she had been prepared, Ling Xiyu's face still turned pale when she heard this.
Li Taiqing couldn't help but became furious, "That's nonsense. There is such a person who collaborates with the enemy and treason? The three thousand tiger and wolf troops who died tragically were all Zhenglong's personal soldiers."
Li Jiuan said: "But Dali said that the frontline army lost nearly 30,000 people, a full ten times."
"It's simply the most ridiculous thing in the world."
Li Taiqing was furious, "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. If we accuse them of collaborating with the enemy and treason as soon as we lose a battle, then who will dare to lead troops on the battlefield in the future?"
"No! I want to see your Majesty!"
As he said that, he was about to go out.
But he was stopped by Li Jiuan, "Father, please don't..."
He glanced at Ling Xiyu, seeming hesitant to speak.
Li Taiqing's pupils widened.
Li Jiuan could only say: "It's useless. I have received the news that your Majesty and Dali have reached an agreement that Princess Dali will marry the third prince."
Although Li Taiqing was a military attaché, he was not stupid, and he had been in the officialdom for so many years, so he knew what it meant.
Not to mention Ling Xiyu, whose face was ashen.
At this moment, she finally understood why the imperial brother did not think about the friendship back then, because they had lost their value. His Majesty Dali could die at any time, and establishing a relationship with the new monarch was the most important thing. The Zhenbei Palace was already in danger. Dispensable.
"no!"
Li Taiqing said, "I must go to see Your Majesty."
Li Jiuan said hurriedly: "Father, this matter cannot be changed. At this morning's court, some court officials have already impeached my elder brother, saying that he cooperated with Zhenglong without asking His Majesty's instructions and sent troops to the southwest border, causing heavy casualties to our army."
"Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet, but if the trouble continues, I'm afraid the Li family will not be able to escape."
Li Taiqing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "That's nonsense. The two countries have reached a strategic alliance a long time ago. It was the same before. Why don't we see them impeaching them? Now..."
Li Jiuan said: "At this moment, Zhenglong was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. I'm afraid that if the trouble continues, my eldest brother will also..."
He didn't say any more, but the meaning was clear.
The relationship between the Li family and Duan Zhenglong is too close. Duan Zhenglong collaborated with the enemy and treason, but what about the Li family?
Once someone gets caught in this matter, it will be useless for any prince.
The King of Zhenbei is still a prince, not the same.
"It doesn't make sense, it simply doesn't make sense..."
Li Taiqing was so angry that he was trembling and wanted to go out.
At this time, Ling Xiyu also grabbed him, "Uncle, no!"
Li Taiqing said: "How can that be done? Zhenglong and Rongrong..."
Ling Xiyu shook his head and said, "This is Xiyu's family matter after all. Xiyu doesn't want to involve his uncle's family."
Li Taiqing asked anxiously: "Then what should you do?"
Ling Xiyu's eyes were a little sad. What could she do? Even Wanxiang Kingdom had given up on her. What else could she do? As a royal princess, she had seen too many such things. Perhaps the only thing she could do now was to try her best to keep her son and daughter. .
But, can it really be saved?
At this moment, she had some doubts. The Tiger and Wolf Army was the last trump card of Zhenbei Palace. If this was handed over, Zhenbei Palace would have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
By then, are there still conditions for negotiation with others?
…
