Seven hundred and fiftieth chapters soldiers approaching the city
Duan Zhengchun left Yangzhumei City and came to the front of the Song army.
He had never seen Master Zhong, but Master Zhong knew him.
The two came farther away and had a conversation face to face.
"Gao Shengtai said that he will abdicate for me and ask your army to withdraw." Duan Zhengchun turned the Buddhist beads and looked pretending to be compassionate.
Master Zhong said with no expression on his face, "Do you believe him? Or have you agreed?"
Duan Zhengchun lowered his eyes and his lips squirmed, as if he was reciting Buddhist scriptures, saying, "He is terminally ill and cannot live long. He is good at saying that people are about to die."
Zhong Shizhong stared at him and said, "If our army withdraws, are you sure he can keep his word?"
Duan Zhengchun said silently, and then said, "Can your army withdraw troops after I ascend the throne?"
Zhong Shizhong said very simply: "I will not stay in Dali Country. I will take away the people I bring. Dali Country is still surnamed Duan."
Duan Zhengchun seemed not to understand the ambiguity of Master Zhong and said, "I will ascend the throne as soon as possible, and I hope the general will be as promised."
"It must." said Mr. Zong.
Duan Zhengchun turned the Buddhist beads' hands and stopped, looked at Master Zhong seriously, and turned around and walked back.
He was wearing a delicate gold-inlaid robe and walked back step by step.
Not far away, a few of them rode horses and led one, and took Duan Zhengchun back.
Master Zhong looked at his back and was also a little scheming.
His appearance with cavalry must have shocked the Dali Kingdom, but the changes in the situation in Dali were somewhat beyond his expectations.
Gao Shengtai is about to abdicate and return to Duan's family?
Whether it is true or false, this reaction made him feel a little confused. At least, the planned feint attack would not work.
‘Let’s talk about it when the Thirteenth Palace comes down.’
Master Zong thought about it, then turned around, got on his horse, pulled out his knife, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's walk around the city, block all the roads leading to Yangzhumei City, and you must not enter or exit. Whoever dares to cross the line will be killed without mercy!"
"Ode to the Lord!" his subordinate responded and immediately slapped his horse.
Teams of cavalry rushed out and rushed toward all directions.
I had a plan long ago, without any unnecessary nonsense, and the cavalry divided into four gates to block all roads.
The Zhong Shi led the cavalry and ran around the city, "To fight against Gao's family and restore Duan's family" flag rustled in the wind.
Dali Kingdom Palace.
Gao Shengtai's complexion miraculously improved and he could even get out of bed and start dealing with government affairs.
This scene made Gao Taiming and a relative and noble official from Dali Country frightened. When he thought of what Gao Shengtai said about "abdication", he felt even more panicked.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Gao Shengtai ‘meeted’ Duan Zhengchun, looked at the bald monk standing below, and said with a calm expression: “You mean, you have reached an agreement with the Song people that as long as you ascend the throne, they will withdraw their troops?”
Duan Zhengchun turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, with a expressionless face and said, "Yes."
Gao Shengtai sat upright, looking at him quietly, with a cold look.
He feels in good health now and can't die for a while. How could the living emperor abdicate? What's more, how long did he return to the Duan family after he ascended the throne? How did he explain to the people below?
The most important thing is that he is not willing to do so!
At this time, Gao Taiming came in and said anxiously: "Father, the Song people surrounded the imperial city, no one is allowed to enter and exit. I will test it. They really dare to kill people!"
Gao Shengtai looked motionless and said, "My order to support the king has been sent out. In up to five days, 70,000 troops will arrive in Beijing. The Song army is no match for me at all!"
Duan Zhengchun's expression changed immediately. He heard that Gao Shengtai had changed his mind!
His face looked a little ugly, but he didn't say anything. He couldn't offend Gao Shengtai, otherwise he would die very ugly!
Gao Taiming didn't hear it and said, "Father, the news that you are going to abdicate and return to Duan's family has been spread."
Gao Shengtai's face suddenly changed, his eyes flashed sharply, and he immediately suppressed him fiercely, glared at Gao Taiming, and said, "I am not allowed to mention this matter in the future. Please order all soldiers to be on guard. If the Song army attacks the city, fight me back!"
Gao Taiming was stunned, unable to think too much for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes."
Gao Shengtai watched Gao Taiming leave, then smiled and looked at Duan Zhengchun, saying, "You stay in the palace first, I will tell you some things later."
Duan Zhengchun gritted his teeth secretly, felt hatred in his heart, and without saying much, he turned around and left.
Gao Shengtai looked at his back and breathed deeply.
He didn't care about the 'abdication rumors', it was easy to deal with it. He was considering how to get the Song army to retreat.
It is unwise to go to war with the Song army, but since the Song army is here, there must be a reason for the Song army to retreat that cannot be refused!
The atmosphere in Yangzhumei City changed drastically as Gao Shengtai's attitude changed.
The whole city was martial law, soldiers were everywhere, all those who "spread rumors" were captured, and those "rebellions" were even killed on the streets.
Yangzhumei City is so short that it takes less than an hour, one in the sky and one in the ground.
The city was covered with soldiers, wearing armor and archers were waiting for the battle.
When Zhong Shizhong saw that something had happened in the city, he became more and more nervous and alert. He ordered the cavalry to move and did not give Gao Shengtai any chance. At the same time, he sent more reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the surrounding areas of Yangzhumei City to prevent reinforcements.
The confrontation under Yang Zhume City was like a bowstring that reached its peak, and the battle was about to begin.
Soon, it was evening.
Very calm.
Then it was daytime.
It's evening again.
Time passed slowly, two days passed.
The soldiers on Yangzhumei City took turns to defend and were very alert to the Song army.
It's evening again.
The deputy general manager was riding a horse, standing next to the head of the zombie, and whispered: "General manager, there are not many rations left, and you can last for a day at most."
The cavalry did not bring much ration, especially when it was delayed due to heavy rain. In addition, the current strange state of Dali Kingdom, Zhao's large army followed must have been slower than expected.
Under various reasons, the rations of the cavalry in the Zhong Division were about to come to an end.
Master Zhong looked motionless and said, "Don't worry, I have asked someone to contact the Imperial City Department, and the stakes here have helped us raise some of them."
The deputy general manager suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's still the general manager who thought about it carefully."
Just as the bird was about to speak, a few pigeons suddenly flew over their heads, and their expressions changed slightly, saying, "This is a carrier pigeon!"
The deputy general manager said in a serious look: "General manager, I'm afraid I can't continue to wait. There is no news from His Highness Thirteenth, and I don't know how long it will take to arrive."
The head of the Zhongshi Center has been calculating the time when Zhao Si arrives, but due to heavy rain and the obstruction of fortresses in various Dali Country, the time is short and long, and he cannot make up for it.
At the same time, in the Dali Kingdom Palace.
Gao Shengtai looked at the note in his hand with a pale face, stared at Gao Taiming below, and said, "Gao Jinyao's flying pigeon passes the letter. The Song army has 50,000 troops swept the north, at most, and there will be two days left to the city!"
Gao Taiming's face changed drastically and he said anxiously: "Father, there are only more than 10,000 people in the city, what should I do if I do this?"
Yangzhumei City is not a tall and strong city, and Dali is not a big country. It has a small population and few soldiers. Ten thousand people are already very powerful in Yangzhumei City.
But facing the 50,000 troops of the Song people, the eagle could not defend the city at all!
