Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"Rong'er!

Duke Wu's rebellious spirit was well known to everyone on the road.

The Duan family of Dali had an alliance with me in the Song Dynasty, and now they secretly mobilized troops into Fuzhou to help the Wu Kingdom defend Xiamen, Fujian Province.

He had already betrayed the alliance, and according to reliable sources, he was the envoy who came to negotiate with Duke Wu on behalf of Dali.

It is Duan Zhengchun, the king of Dali Town South!

The Duan family in Dali has been very ambitious in recent years. They have always wanted to imitate the Taizu of our dynasty. Chenqiao rebelled and took control of the Central Plains. While contacting Buddhism, they promoted Confucian culture. They had ulterior motives and wanted to make the world think that Duanshi in Dali was also of Han family origin. .

In addition, Dali often creates friction with me, the Song Dynasty, on the border and causes wanton massacres. I remember you said in the early years that several elders of the Beggar Clan died in Dali without any explanation when they went to Dali for business."

"Brother Jing, I understand what you mean. Are you saying that I want to protect Duan Zhengchun?" Huang Rong gently picked up the tea bowl and glanced at Guo Jing, "Let's not talk about why I want to protect him. What I want to say is. Mr. Guo, you are worrying too much!"

"oh?"

Although Guo Jing noticed some other meanings in Huang Rong's words, he didn't think much about it, "In that case, I will send people to arrest Duan Zhengchun!"

"Brother Jing, do you think that if Duan Zhengchun is captured, Dali will retreat?" Huang Rong had a faint smile on her lips. She was calm, but also disdainful, mocking Guo Jing, and mocking herself.

Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but then he shook his head and said, "There is no guarantee that Dali will completely retreat! However, having such a Zhennan King in hand will inevitably make Dali have some scruples!"

"Just a prince!" Huang Rong shook her head, "Duan Zhengchun is just a prince. Even though he is the closest brother to the current Emperor of Dali, he is just a younger brother, the King of Zhennan. You I also said that Dali has been promoting its own Buddhist theory and Confucian culture over the years, all of which are preparations for taking over the Central Plains, but how many years exactly?"

"Probably decades." Guo Jing thought for a while, but couldn't give an accurate answer.

"It's eighty years ago. Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple was also the emperor of Dali in his early years. Since his Zen throne, Dali has begun to actively promote Buddhism, and at the same time promote the Confucian culture that the Duan family of Dali cannot strive for, and send a large number of Disciples of the Duan family entered various sects in the Central Plains to study. They had already begun to make arrangements eighty years ago, or to put it another way, they calculated eighty years ago that the power of the Song Dynasty was exhausted and they were ready to take over. Prepare for the Central Plains!”

The words Huang Rong said are all information that the Beggar Clan spent a lot of time integrating. Huang Rong also conducted her own sorting and came to the conclusion. It can be said that everything is meticulous and there is absolutely no possibility of error: " It is true that the Duan family of Dali is eyeing the Song Dynasty with covetous eyes, but they are not just a temporary move, but a careful long-term plan.

Under such circumstances, do you think capturing Duan Zhengchun, the small Zhennan King, can have any effect?

In fact, the Duan family in Dali had already done it. Duan Zhengchun had no intention of going back this time and regarded him as a expendable chess piece.

Among the entire Duan clan in Dali, Duan Zhengchun has the highest favorable impression of the Central Plains region, and he also has the highest reputation in the Central Plains region.

Whenever people in the world mention Dali, they will mention Dali Zhennan Palace.

This is naturally a good thing for Duan Zhengchun, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the current Dali royal family, especially the current Dali Emperor. There is an old saying that goes well - the most ruthless family is the emperor. With the precedent of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, anything can happen here.

You want to arrest Duan Zhengchun now, maybe you are playing into the hands of the Duan family in Dali.

Dali was able to raise an army just in time.

Today, the alliance between Dali and Song Dynasty still exists.

After all, Wu Guogong did not rebel. Although Dali violated the covenant by sending troops into Fuzhou, from another perspective, they only needed to be for a suitable reason, such as bandits on the Tilting Sea. After all, Duke Wu was also a subject of the Song Dynasty. At best, it could only be regarded as some disobedience, and it cannot really be said to be a rebellion.

But if you capture Duan Zhengchun, you will break the covenant responsibility.

I'm afraid it will fall on you, Brother Jing. "

Guo Jing's face gradually became serious.

It's not like he hasn't thought about these things.

But at the moment, the imperial court and Duke Wu had already begun to mobilize troops, so he did not consider these contents in detail.

Now listen to Huang Rong.

Guo Jing had to rethink this issue.

"Rong'er, do you mean that Duan Zhengchun cannot be arrested?"

"Not only can't he be caught, but he has to be very secretive and yet send him back with great fanfare." Huang Rong said expressionlessly: "Wu Guogong is a suspicious person who thinks twice before doing anything. At the same time, he is extremely cautious.

Duan Zhengchun represented the Dali Duan clan and signed an alliance with him, but now he was sent back by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Not only was his treatment high, but the way he was sent back was also extremely covert, which would definitely arouse his suspicion.

At that time, there is no need to do anything else. You only need to send a few letters, and then deliberately capture them by Wu Guogong, that will be enough!

The alliance between the Duan family of Dali and Wu Guogong will naturally break down! "

Guo Jing woke up from a dream and said with a smile: "Rong'er, you still think carefully!

Why didn't I think of these things? "

Huang Rong turned her head and looked at Guo Jing, "Brother Jing, you didn't expect it!

You just simply don't have the energy to think about it. "

Huang Rong's eyes swept over the military armor on his body.

This time, Guo Jing's reaction was extremely sensitive and he immediately explained: "Rong'er, things are not what you imagined.

Now that the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, we have learned martial arts, and we should defend our country, fight against the Mongols in the north, and reach the Qing Dynasty in the east! "

"Back in Xiangyang, I gave you a chance to choose. I let you make your own choice, whether to stay in Xiangyang or go back to Taohua Island to live in seclusion. I also told you that no matter what choice you made, I would accompany you. In the end, you I chose to go back to Peach Blossom Island. Brother Jing, do you still remember?" Huang Rong looked directly into Guo Jing's eyes.

Guo Jing, however, did not dare to look into Huang Rong's eyes. After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "It's my fault that I didn't discuss this with you in advance. When I received the appointment from the court, I also wanted to refuse it! But! .When I came back from Zhongnan Mountain, I took a trip to Xiangyang.

The Mongols also noticed that the relationship between Wu Guogong and the imperial court was gradually disintegrating.

They have already stockpiled tens of thousands of troops at the border. They are just waiting for Duke Wu and the imperial court to go to war, and they will immediately invade Xiangyang southward.

All the dignitaries who could run around Xiangyang have already run away.

Only the helpless people were left there waiting to die.

The people there were miserable and worried about the destruction of the city and people every day. Looking at them, I remembered the oath I made back then, vowing not to let the Mongols take another step south.

Rong'er, although I promised you that I would live in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island with you and stop caring about the world. However, I will never allow the Mongols to step into the Central Plains and slaughter my children in the Central Plains wantonly, so you will support me, right? "

Guo Jing slowly took Huang Rong's hand and wanted to hold her in his arms.

But Huang Rong didn't stop him, "I can go with you, but what about Fu'er? Gong'er, what should we do?"

"Fu'er, Gong'er." Guo Jing was a little confused. After a while, he remembered that Gong'er was Huang Rong's adopted son. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his wife was really a good woman with a bodhisattva heart, but she said : "Take it with you. If you are worried, take it to Xiangyang together.

With us here, are we still worried that we can't protect them? "

Huang Rong's eyes immediately flashed with strong disappointment, "Once the Mongols invade the south in a large scale, and war breaks out, what will happen if they are injured?" When Huang Rong said this, she suddenly felt a little funny, and thought to herself: "Fu'er is indeed There is need to worry, but Gong'er seems to have no need to worry. ’

Guo Jing was stunned and said nonchalantly: "We must let them grow up and take charge of their own affairs. We will always grow old and cannot take care of them for a lifetime. The frontier battlefield is the best place for people to grow!"

Huang Rong didn't say anything, just hugged Guo Jing gently, and after a long time she said: "If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. I can accompany you, but now I don't trust them to go together. Wait until they are older. Let's go over there. Fu'er can be sent to Emei. She has a fierce temper and is easy to get into trouble. She needs to find a good master and discipline her well.

As for Gong'er"

——

Duan Zhengchun lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He was very tired. One day on the island felt more tiring than a year.

But he just couldn't sleep.

In addition to being full of fear of the Song Dynasty warship not far away, my heart was filled with fear.

He glanced at Dao Baifeng, who was already sleeping beside him, climbed up quietly and walked out of the cabin.

But what he didn't expect was that Dao Baifeng had already opened his eyes just as he got up.

Dao Baifeng is not as unfounded as Duan Zhengchun.

However, she has also made a decision. After returning to Fujian this time, she will try her best to bring back the people from the tribe and then return to Dali, Yunnan.

Even Guo Jing, a well-known Guo hero in the world, has become a general of the Song Dynasty. Although Guo Jing has not been seen taking action, Dao Baifeng has already had the intention to retreat based on the long roar that penetrated the clouds and entered the sky.

She couldn't just watch the warriors of her tribe being used as cannon fodder.

However, when I think about going back this time, it may take a long time to enter the Central Plains again.

Dao Baifeng blushed and took out a seed with a smooth appearance and only the size of a thumb from the quilt.

She also got up and walked out of the cabin.

He glanced left and right.

Duan Zhengchun didn't know where he went.

In the past, Dao Baifeng would have searched everywhere, but now she doesn't care at all.

On the contrary, there is some joy.

Quickly, walk towards the cabin where Wu Gong is.
