Chapter 153 Gao Xiangguo Expedition

Gaoyouchenglong has not been so nervous for many years.

As the Minister of Power of Dali, only when his father Gao Ayu fought for the high position of prime minister after his death, he had this terrifying feeling. That time, his brother's men almost got the chance. If his subordinates had not sacrificed their lives to fight each other, Gao Juchenglong would not only not be the Prime Minister, but also lost his life.

But this time, he felt that he would lose his life.

Looking at the dozen generals standing in the hall at a loss, he was so angry that he came.

"Clear the king's side, clear the king's side!" Gao Yuchenglong roared, kneaded a proclamation into a ball, and threw it vigorously on the face of a general kneeling below: "You are incompetent! Changsun Hong has spread such a traitor everywhere in the city. You don't know who did it!"

The group of generals below looked at each other with their heads down, no one agreed, and then continued to lower their heads in a tacit understanding without saying a word.

The kneeling general had to speak. He was a military envoy in five cities and was responsible for the security and defense of Dali City. He had no choice but to do this.

"This... the Prime Minister has ordered the city to be closed and the search will be conducted door by door. I believe there will be results soon..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Yuchenglong was already furious. He trembled with his hands and touched everywhere, but he could not find a suitable weapon for hitting people. So he simply used the pinched Chaoban as a hidden weapon and smashed the soldiers and horses of the five cities hard.

"A thorough investigation! I'm still waiting for you to investigate!" He shouted angrily, like a lion who had lost his mind: "They have put this thing on the head of my bed! Are you waiting for them to cut my head before you can find out?! Incompetent! Waste! Bucket!"

The saliva accompanied Chaoban and flew to the face of the Wucheng Military Police. Chaoban was made of jade, expensive and rare, and of course it was extremely heavy. When it hit people's heads, blood immediately appeared.

"Hey, the Prime Minister doesn't have to be anxious. Although this matter is bad, isn't the Prime Minister safe? I think this matter is not necessarily a bad thing, which means that someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion colluded with the Shimen tribe outside. He quickly cleaned it up and sorted it out to eliminate future troubles. The primary matter is the most important thing."

Duan Zhixiang, the lord of Dali, sat in the hall and said with concern. His tone could not be heard, and he was peaceful and stable.

Gao Yuchenglong looked at him annoyedly and thought to himself that you certainly don’t agree. The barbarian Changsun Hong of Shimen Fan was the name of Qingjun. What is Qingjun? He just wanted to clean up the evil people around the emperor and would not kill the emperor.

Duan Zhixiang waved his hand and said to the bloody and panic-blooded soldiers and horse envoys in the five cities: "What are you still here to do? Go down and do things quickly! No one can be found within five days, I have chopped your head!"

The general knelt on his feet and kowtowed, and Xie He hurriedly retreated.

Gao Yuchenglong felt anger a little. He remembered his words and deeds just now, and it seemed inappropriate. After all, the emperor was still sitting on it, which was a bit too much, so he bowed and apologized to the emperor: "Thank you, the emperor, I just lost my composure and shocked the emperor. Please punish me."

"The prime minister doesn't have to care about his mistakes." Duan Zhixiang nodded and said with a worried look: "But Shimenfan mobilized troops and the following offenders invaded Dali. He is now stationed troops in Sandian. It is only a short distance from Longshou Pass. It is a major event. My dear friends, you have a good plan to retreat to the enemy."

He spoke to Gao Yuchenglong, but he asked the ministers of the palace.

Just like when Gao Yuchenglong was angry just now, there was no one in the hall talking. Everyone even controlled their breathing sounds very lightly, for fear that the emperor would hear it and mistakenly think that he was going out to fight and retreat to the enemy.

Just kidding, the Sandian is Shimenfan. Duan Zhisen, the king of Zhenbei, joined forces with the barbarians from all over the country to gather tens of thousands of troops to defeat the enemy. Whoever goes to die will die.

When many people thought of the dilemma of Duan Zhisen riding alone a few days ago, many people didn't even dare to breathe.

Gao Yuchenglong turned around and looked at a group of people like quails, and his anger ejaculation rose up again.

OK, how did I treat you before? The senior marquis is serving you. Now that I am in trouble, you will be turtles one by one? Just wait for me to run away and surrender to my new master!

"Hmph, Shimen's barbarian troops have only tens of thousands of soldiers. The expedition is far less than the convenience of our Dali King's Army waiting for labor. Our Dali has 20,000 elite soldiers, which is twice as good as the thief. Besides, the thirty-six barbarian troops can arrive. At that time, we will gather around the royal city, and the heavenly soldiers are vast. Will there be no one who dares to fight and lead the generals to fight and relieve the troubles of the emperor?" Gao Yuchenglong couldn't help but speak in a sinister way.

Everyone below was slightly turbulent, probably infected by Gao Yuchenglong's undisturbed anger, and a whisper sounded. From time to time, someone looked at the dark-faced prime minister and dodged his eyes.

Then he returned to silence.

Gao Yuchenglong felt that his blood was about to break through the sky spirit cover.

At this moment, Dali Emperor Duan Zhixiang, behind him, spoke again.

"Major, I have been thinking about it and feel that it is not that all the ministers dare not lead troops to fight. I, Dali, have emerged in many brave generals, how can I be cowardly and afraid of the enemy? This is impossible."

Gao Yuchenglong patiently turned his face away again, waiting for Duan Zhixiang's following.

"I think this is because the thirty-six barbarians do their own things. They are all chiefs who have established their own positions and are not convinced by each other. How can ordinary generals and officials suppress them? If they send one person to lead troops at will, and do not obey orders and do not respect military discipline, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

This is somewhat reasonable. The 36 barbarians in eastern Yunnan have never been subordinates in Dali, but vassals. Ordinary Dali generals can't suppress the scene.

"I originally wanted to lead the imperial army to personally fight. On the one hand, I would like to expose this anger to the prime minister, and on the other hand, I would like to promote my country's prestige and let the barbarians know how sad the end of betrayal was." Duan Zhixiang patted his thighs, with a look of righteous indignation: "The founding of Dali is due to its force as the world. I have long had a great battle and the idea of ​​reappearing the style of the founding ancestors."

His expression changed, and he felt regretful and heartbroken: "It's a pity that I am old and weak, and I have been suffering from all kinds of diseases in recent years. The imperial physician said he could not ride a horse. If he is infected with wind and cold, he may be ineffective."

His words were sincere and sincere, with sad eyes and holding his forehead, his whole body trembling, as if he was really anxious and angry, and he couldn't stop patting his legs, as if he hated his poor health.

So the officials in the hall knelt down and shouted loudly: "I am incompetent, please take care of the dragon body!"

Gao Yuchenglong was a little dazed, and he also knelt down, his mind was full of numbness. Is the emperor acting or is it true?

"Get up, all the families." Duan Zhixiang waved his hand weakly and coughed a few times at the right time: "So I decided to entrust the soldiers of the whole country to the prime minister and ask the prime minister to lead the troops themselves. The generals in the court were sent at will to act at will, just to retreat from the traitors of Shimen and return me to the Qingjing border! The prime minister is as prestige as a mountain, and the prime minister is here, and the barbarian tribes dare not act arbitrarily, so they will definitely gather thirty-six tribes for their own use."

He straightened his body, leaning towards Gao Juchenglong, and asked, "I wonder if the prime minister is willing?"

Gao Juchenglong is in a difficult situation to ride a tiger.

The emperor said so, are you still embarrassed to refuse?

More importantly, there is no better way to find a way to hold the army in your own hands and fight for your own destiny.

He thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons of the left and right, finally raised his head, frowned and bowed to Duan Zhixiang, "I... accept the order!"

As soon as Duan Zhixiang finished speaking, he smiled.

He was filled with joy.
