“Head of the family, do we Dali still have a chance to win?”
Looking at the uneasy or hopeful eyes of all the troops under his command, Xie Zhan was silent for a long time and nodded, “There is still a chance.”
Even in the face of the weapons suppression of Pingzhou leading Dali, Xie Zhan was not discouraged. Because he knew that going from zero to one was the most difficult, but he believed that going from one to two was just a matter of time.
What he has to do now is to buy time and use time to exchange for space for Dali’s growth.
The current situation is that he holds two cards in his hand, and now the explosives card is scrapped, and only the charcoal card is left.
But considering that Pingzhou is now attacking the Xianbei, it is impossible to use force in the entire territory like the Xianbei…
Furthermore, Lu Songli is not a powerful man.
So, he predicted that next, there would be a struggle between him and Lu Songli.
The situation in the free trading area of the three states has become so decayed that there is no need to keep Song Mo’s death.
Therefore, the imperial court soon rang out the death clock and issued an obituary to the world.
In the winter of the seventh year of Tianhe, Song Mo, the eighth emperor of Dali, died in the Tai Chi Hall.
At the same time, he informed the world that Emperor Daxing left a decree, made the eldest son the new emperor, and took the reign of Daoming.
This year’s name is full of Dali’s strong expectations for the future.
In addition to establishing a new emperor, Emperor Daxing also left behind a decree to grant the original governor Xie Zhan the will of the regent.
After Song Mo passed away, after discussion among his ministers, he proposed the posthumous title of Ai.
Pingzhou, Changli
In Pingzhou Prefecture, all officials learned about the death of Emperor Song Mo of Dali. Song Mo’s posthumous title also attracted discussion among Pingzhou officials.
“Emperor Ai has many meanings, such as early loneliness, lack of virtue, and even more trouble.”
“Song Mo reigned for seven years and died at the age of 21, which is early loneliness and shortness of failure.”
“During his reign, facing the situation of internal and external troubles, although some measures were taken, it was ultimately failed to save the decline of Dali.”
At this point, everyone understood. Most of Song Mo’s life was unfortunate, and his posthumous title of “Emperor Ai” also made people sympathize with him.
At this time, Lu Desheng spoke, “Da Li dared to make it public that Xie Zhan was named the regent of Dali? This is equivalent to admitting that the Dali court had cheated before. Aren’t they afraid that our Pingzhou will hold them accountable?”
“Because of the polo game, Dali and Pingzhou are now turning against each other. There is no difference between turning one face and turning two faces.”
As the saying goes, too many lice will not itch.
Lu Songli was very clear about the exposure of her identity, which must beXie Zhan’s work.
She was not surprised that Xie Zhan would do this.
Xie Zhan was not stupid. He guessed that she knew that he was not dead. If this matter was still hidden, it would definitely become a handle, or a hidden danger. It would be better to uncover it yourself and clear it up.
There is an opponent who knows himself, and every step or two is like playing Ming chess.
And that’s how it is to play Mingqi.
It is impossible to win a lot in one game. You can only win a little through a confrontation, and slowly form a big advantage.
…
After the polo final, because Dali and Xianbei were cheating, Pingzhou took the opportunity to attack and won Yanzhou and Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
Tuoba Jin and Tuoba Lian did not fight to the death, but instead took the Xianbei army in Yanzhou to evacuate from Yuzhou through Dali.
Then, Dali stationed troops in Yuzhou, Donghai and Yongzhou to prevent the Pingzhou army.
Just when the senior officials of Dali and Xianbei felt that Pingzhou would attack Dali’s hinterland Yuzhou, Yangzhou or the power center Yongzhou, Pingzhou was abnormal and General Qin Heng led the three armies to lay down troops along the border line intersecting Dali to confront Dali.
On the other hand, Pingzhou sent three large armies to send troops to the Xianbei.
First of all, the Sun family army located in Bingzhou advanced westward and intercepted the Xianbei army of Tuoba Jin and Tuoba Lian.
Secondly, the army led by Yue Shu set out from Fuyu County, among which Wei Kuang, as a partial general, led his army and directly attacked the Xianbei grassland.
Finally, as the main force, the Jintai Army was led by Qin Sheng, and Qin Zhao led another Qin family army to follow.
Two large armies went straight from Qingzhou to Yanmen Pass, and then left the pass. The Qin family army led by Qin Zhao was responsible for cleaning up the Xianbei army that blocked the road, while Qin Sheng led the Jintai army across the grassland and headed straight to the Xianbei capital – Shengle.
