My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 541
Empress Dowager Gao was slightly moved.

Emperor Dayan's personal conquest?

This... is not quite right.

Intuitively, Empress Dowager Gao felt that this matter might not be as simple as she knew so far.

"Queen Mother, the two armies of the Yan people are invading. They are unstoppable. At present, they have slaughtered my two cities in Dali and tens of thousands of my people, approaching Longshou Pass; the other is attacking Shicheng County. Fortunately, our Gao family has already launched an attack. We can stop this way in Weichu Mansion." Gao said lightly.

As the empress of Dali, Gao really wanted to stand on her husband's side, come forward and order the Gao family to hand over the murderer, so as to calm Dayan's anger as soon as possible and eliminate the culprit.

But the Gao family knew very well that Gao Liangming was Gao Liangcheng's younger brother, the first son of the Gao family, and it was absolutely impossible for the Gao family to hand over Gao Liangming.

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a while, and then said in a condensed voice: "Why is this so?! To be able to alarm Emperor Dayan's imperial conquest, this is my Dali, how much hatred is there?"

Gao said lightly: "It is said that Gao Liangming took a fancy to a beautiful woman in the Yan people's caravan and sent troops to snatch it. He didn't want the Yan people's caravan to rise up and resist, so more than a thousand people in that caravan died at the foot of Zixi Mountain."

Empress Dowager Gao scolded angrily: "It's ridiculous! Gao Liangming is really shameless, ruining the reputation of my Gao family!"

Empress Dowager Gao said again in a deep voice: "But even if a caravan of the Yan people were killed, the Yan people wouldn't raise their troops to attack, right? This has never happened in hundreds of years."

Gao fell silent.

She didn't know what to say either.

At this time, a pair of young men and women walked in hand in hand.

The boy was Duan Zhengxing, Duan Zhengyan's son, born of Concubine De.

The young girl with bright eyes and white teeth, and a heroic appearance is none other than Duan Wanqing, daughter of the Gao family and princess of Dali.

Duan Wanqing and Duan Zhengxing prostrated themselves on the ground: "Meet the Empress Dowager and Empress Mother."

These grandchildren have always been loved by Empress Dowager Gao.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but smiled gently: "Zhengxing, Wanqing, get up quickly, why do you have time to visit grandma?"

Duan Zhengxing said worriedly: "Grandmother, Emperor Dayan's imperial conquest, tens of thousands of troops are approaching Longshou Pass, and there is another army attacking Shicheng County. As long as Longshou Pass is lost, our country in Dali will perish."

Empress Dowager Gao smiled: "Don't be afraid, although the Yan people are powerful, my Dali army horse is not a vegetarian.

Longshou Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With [-] defenders, it is not so easy for the Yan people to break through Longshou Pass.

Besides, before and after Longshou Pass, there were still several troops blocking the Yan army. The Yan army went deep into the hinterland of Dali alone, and the chances of winning were not high. "

Duan Zhengxing hesitated for a while, then said: "Grandmother, my grandson has heard that this Great Yan Emperor is brilliant and mighty, he once defeated the Jin Kingdom's 20 troops with one force, like a god-man.

The brocade-clothed iron cavalry under his command are the brave and elite of Dayan, and they are not even opponents of the Jin Guo Iron Pagoda. Can my Dali army and horse resist it? "

Empress Dowager Gao laughed: "Zhengxing, do you believe this kind of rumor?"

Duan Wanqing interrupted suddenly: "Grandmother, mother, Wanqing has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Empress Dowager Gao chuckled: "Wanqing, if you have something to say, why are you so polite to grandma?"

A dignified look gradually appeared on Duan Wanqing's pretty face: "Grandmother, mother, granddaughter got the news that Gao Liangming's favorite girl from Dayan is Murong Wan'er, the imperial concubine of Emperor Wang Lin of Dayan, and now Murong Wan I don't know if my son died, whether he died in the chaos, or was ruined by Gao Liangming... What if..."

Duan Wanqing didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Duan Wanqing's words were like earth-shattering shock, Empress Dowager Gao and Gao Shi were immediately horrified.

Emperor Dayan's imperial concubine?

If this is the case... Dayan and Dali are in an endless situation.

It's no wonder that the emperor of Yan will personally conquest, and the Yan people are cruel, killing two cities in a row!
Empress Dowager Gao tremblingly said: "Wanqing, where did you hear that?"

Duan Wanqing sighed quietly: "I overheard someone mentioning it inadvertently in Gao Xiang's country."

Empress Dowager Gao couldn't sit still anymore, she slowly got up and said anxiously: "Let Gao Liangcheng come into the palace to see me!"

……

As the northern barrier of Dali, Longshou City has become a battleground for military strategists in ancient times because of its characteristics of locking the mountains and controlling the sea, and being easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The solid and majestic Guancheng strangles the key point of the ancient tea-horse road and becomes the biggest barrier to defend the imperial city of Dali.

Gaoshan Jiaxiongguan.

Jinyi cavalry set up camp under the pass.

At the Yuanmen Gate, Wang Lin led the generals in brocade clothes to stare at the Longshou Pass at the far end. The city pass soared into the clouds, and its majesty was astounding.

Wang Lin said silently: "Xiao Yi, I never thought that there would be such a grand pass in this barbarian land in the southwest. No wonder the Dali people don't have many troops stationed in the northern border, so they used this pass to defend themselves."

Yan Qing solemnly said: "Your Majesty, this pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are nearly [-] defenders. If our army attacks by force, I'm afraid it will suffer heavy losses."

Although the Jinyi iron cavalry is powerful in combat, they are all cavalry, and there are only ten thousand people.Attacking Xiongguan with thousands of riders, the result can be imagined.

Wang Lin remained silent.

He is not arrogant enough to destroy the whole country of Dali with ten thousand riders.

The reason why he did not mobilize the main force of the Yan army to march south was mainly because he was worried about the instability of the Hebei border.But even if the backbone of the Yan army is not used, it does not mean that there will be no military resources for Wang Lin to mobilize.

The 4 Xiang troops from the two provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou attacked Shicheng County, but it was only to contain Dali's troops. Wang Lin's real attack direction was still from the north.

Wang Lin was silent for a while, then looked back at the distant northern plateau.

After a long time, he said lightly: "Xiao Yi, according to the plan, the Xixia and Tubo coalition forces should soon enter the border of Dali."

Yan Qing nodded and said: "Your Majesty, if there are no accidents, the Xia-Fan coalition forces crossing the tea-horse trade road should arrive at Dandang soon!"

Wang Lin nodded slowly.

When Wang Lin left Hebei, he ordered people to send an edict to Yelu Nanxian and the Tubo people, ordering Xixia to mobilize 5 soldiers and horses to pass through Tubo, and to unite with [-] Tubo soldiers and horses.

Marching across the plateau may be a very difficult task for the Yan army, but it is nothing to the Xixia and Tubo army horses, especially the Tubo tribe who live on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau all year round. .

Now the various tribes in Tubo are fighting. Pan Qi, the leader of the largest tribe, led hundreds of thousands of tribes to submit to Dayan. He has close contacts with Dayan and calls himself the adopted son of Emperor Dayan.

In return, Wang Lin also ordered the Ministry of Households to provide salt, some ironware, and food to Pan Qibu, who was short of salt and daily necessities, at a low price.

It can be said that Pan Qi's tribe was able to win among the Tubo tribes mainly because of Dayan's support.

Therefore, Pan Qibu obeyed the emperor's edict.

However, the coalition army was led by Tubo people who were familiar with the terrain, and their marching speed was actually faster than that of the Yan army.

When Wang Lin led Wanqi to Longshou Pass, the Xixia and Tubo allied forces had already occupied Dandang, and the distance to Longshou Pass was only two or three hundred miles away.

Li Zhishan, the commander of Xixia soldiers and horses, is the confidant general of Yelu Nanxian and the cousin of Yanqing's wife Li Lan.

But the Tubo people were actually led by the chieftain Pan Qi himself. The Tubo people came here to help the war and to worship the emperor.

After the dragon head was closed, the chief general Gao Jianchang led the crowd to the tower, looking at the camp of the Yan army in front of the pass, with a gloomy expression.

Longshouguan is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountains and rivers are dangerous and solid, and there are enough defenders in the pass. The Yan army in front of us is Wanqi, so it should not be a big problem to resist the Yan army's attack.

But Dayan's national power is strong, far from what Dali can compare.

If the emperor of Dayan had an accident in Dali, the whole country of Dayan would definitely invade. At that time, hundreds of thousands of Yan troops would be on the front line, and Dali would not be able to resist even if the whole country went to war.

As the heir of Gao's concubine, Gao Jianchang was extremely angry at his brother Gao Liangming attacking and killing the Yan people's caravan for a woman for no reason. This brought disaster not only to the Gao family, but also to Dali.

On the other hand, the Yan army was tens of thousands of people, even if Gao's army could resist, they might suffer a lot of damage.

As a result, he formed a deep hatred with the Yan people, which is not good for the Gao family or Dali.

Duan Qichang, the deputy general, belongs to the royal family of Dali and the nephew of Duan Zhengyan.

Duan Qichang said: "General, Emperor Yan personally led an army to invade Dali, isn't this a little too much? Could it be that he wants to use these ten thousand horses to destroy my Dali? Duan feels that something is wrong."

Gao Jianchang sighed: "It's too late to say anything now, we can only stick to the Longshou pass, otherwise if the Longshou pass is lost, Dali will be considered dead."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of military drums coming from the Guancheng Tower. Gao Jianchang and Duan Qichang were slightly startled, and they leaned over to look.

As long as the mountain road, more than a thousand iron cavalry of the Yan army galloped up.

The leader is a heroic young man in his 20s, dressed in plain clothes, holding a long gun, and a white horse on his crotch, with an indifferent demeanor.

Behind him, a bright yellow banner with dragon patterns fluttered high.

More than a thousand cavalry are wrapped in white silk around their arms.

"Is the master of Longshou Pass here?" Although Wang Lin's voice was low, it was heard very clearly by all the soldiers of the Dali garrison on the pass.

Gao Jianchang poked his head out on the pass city. He looked deeply at the Emperor Dayan who was not far away, who was stalking his horse and spear, and shouted: "I am the leader of Longshou Pass, Gao Jianchang. I don't know if he is His Majesty the Emperor of Yan?"

"It's me." Wang Lin said indifferently.

Gao Jianchang yelled: "Ruyan people invaded our Dali land without any reason and slaughtered our Dali people. Isn't it too deceitful?"

"Gao Jianchang, please send a few words to Duan Zhengyan and Gao Liangcheng for me.

The people of Dali slaughtered more than a thousand lives of my Dayan caravan for no reason, including my beloved wife Murong Wan'er.My enmity with Dali is as high as the mountain and as deep as the sea.

Those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away!Now I am here with my troops, revenge and hatred will never die!I set a limit of half a month, if Ru Dali does not surrender immediately and hand over the murderer, wherever our army arrives, the soldiers will slaughter the city, and no chicken or dog will be left behind!
I have something to say first, if you don't listen to my words, don't blame me for being unpredictable! "

Wang Lin took off the bow with the magic arm on his back, nocked the arrow to lead the bow, and shot it with a swish.

Like lightning, the arrow pierced through the flag of the chief general guarding the Dali defenders on the Guancheng, and the momentum remained undiminished. It directly hit a military drum hanging behind the flag, making a fierce hum!

Gao Jianchang and Duan Qichang's expressions changed suddenly.

Good luck!

At this time, Wang Lin's indifferent and ruthless oath exploded in mid-air: "You and the people of Dali committed crimes on their own, slaughtered the people of my Great Swallow, and insulted my beloved wife. I swear here that if Dali is not destroyed, if Dali is not Behead the chief culprit of the Gao family and show it to the public, and I swear that I will not return to court!"
