On the third day of March, just as power was changing within the Song Dynasty, the situation in the southwest suddenly changed dramatically.

It has been three months since Zhang Bangchang entered Dali, but there has been no news from him.

Everyone in Dali thought that the Song envoy had been dealt with, and the relationship between Song and Li entered a phase of relaxation.

Dali State sent envoys to Wu Lin's military camp many times.

Since there had been no conflict between the two sides for several months, and Zhang Bangchang's mild attitude in Yangzui City, Dali State relaxed its vigilance.

However, on the third day of March, Wu Lin suddenly broke camp and began to rapidly advance towards Yangzui Mea City, the King's City in Dali.

He acted very quickly. When the Dali army near the royal city discovered Wu Lin's whereabouts, Wu Lin was already less than a hundred miles away from Yangzui City.

Not only did Wu Lin advance quickly, Fan Zongyin in Wumeng Mountain also caught the Dali army off guard.

Early on the fifth day of March, Fan Zongyin's army crossed the border between Song and Li and advanced into Dali on a large scale.

On the sixth day of March, news of Wu Lin's army approaching the royal city reached Yangzui Mea City.

The ruling and opposition parties in Dali were shocked.

Duan Zhengyan immediately called for Zhang Bangchang and said, "Angel, has Xiao Wang offended you in the past few months?"

Zhang Bangchang said: "The king is wise and benevolent, and he has never offended his subordinates."

"Did the angel feel wronged in Yangzui City?"

"Your country has taken good care of me and I have not been wronged in any way."

"Then why did the Celestial Army attack our royal capital?"

Zhang Bangchang was shocked: "Is this happening?"

Duan Zhengyan forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "It has been spread throughout the world. The Celestial Army is less than a hundred miles away from the royal city."

Zhang Bangchang finally breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Lin still had a conscience.

He said: "How about I go ask the reason?"

"Here comes the angel."

Zhang Bangchang left the city and rushed to Wu Lin's military camp.

He ran to find Wu Lin to ask about the reason. He ran over and flattered Wu Lin, and then returned to Yangzui Me City.

In fact, Zhang Bangchang didn't want to go back to Yangzui Meicheng, but he had a mission and had to go back even if he didn't want to.

When he learned that Zhang Bangchang was back, Duan Zhengyan hurriedly went to find Zhang Bangchang: "Angel, how are you?"

"Your Majesty, things are in trouble."

"how you said that?"

"Fan Zongyin gave Wu Lin an order, saying that if I don't go back for three months, I will send troops."

"Who is Fan Zongyin?"

"He is the minister of household affairs of the current dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the southwest army, and a close confidant of the emperor."

"Oh." Duan Zhengyan immediately became embarrassed. The background was too big and he couldn't afford to offend him. "Now the misunderstanding has been clarified. We neither embarrassed the angel nor refused to let the angel go back."

"However, I came here under orders. If the king cannot agree to my request, I will not dare to go back."

"The angel means to hand over the money?"

"There is also the Gao family." Zhang Bangchang said, "Now the Gao family is working hard in Dali and does not pay attention to the Celestial Empire at all. Dali has been discussing a matter for so long without any results."

"It's very difficult for Xiao Wang!"

"I'm in trouble too." Zhang Bangchang said.

Zhang Bangchang didn't know whether Duan Zhengyan was acting, and Duan Zhengyan didn't know whether Zhang Bangchang was acting.

But both sides are indeed acting.

Because Duan Zhengyan still did not produce satisfactory results for the Song Dynasty, not only that, on the ninth day of March, the news that the Gao family was hoarding troops near the royal city had spread.

The clouds of war hang over the city of Yangzui.

By March 12, the second war between Song and Li was about to break out.

However, that evening, a man appeared in the royal city.

This person is highly qualified.

Gao Liangcheng appeared in the royal city, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

On the same day, Duan Zhengyan convened another court meeting, and Gao Liangcheng appeared directly in the Dali court.

Gao Liangcheng said this to Zhang Bangchang: "I am willing to follow the angel back to the capital to plead guilty. As for how to deal with it, the emperor has the final say, but I still ask the heaven to withdraw its troops."

Zhang Bangchang and Fang Zhengyan were in trouble for a while.

They never expected that at this juncture, Gao Liangcheng would take the initiative to step forward.

Next, Zhang Bangchang has two options: First, focus on high-volume success and go back, which will make business easier and everything will be fine.

Two, start a war.

But now Gao Liangcheng took the initiative to stand up, as if sacrificing himself to save Dali, causing public opinion in Yangzui Me City to explode at this time.

Maybe Dali will be united like never before.

Zhang Bangchang was worried about messing up the matter.

"What about handing over the money?"

"I don't object to handing over the money," Gao Liangcheng said.

"What about the other members of the Gao family?"

"Everything before was made by me alone and had nothing to do with anyone else," Gao Liangcheng said.

Fang Zhengyan said: "Let us discuss it."

"good."

Fang Zhengyan and Zhang Bangchang left the Dali Imperial Court.

"Shangguan, we can't fight this battle now," Fang Zhengyan said.

"You think so too?"

"Originally, many people in the Dali Imperial Court had already favored us, but Gao Liangcheng suddenly stood up and took all the responsibility. Those who favored us have begun to sympathize with Gao Liangcheng. If we forcefully take away the entire Gao family, we may cause trouble in Dali.

The country is angry, and if things get messed up, neither of us can afford it."

"Your Majesty wants the entire Gao family, how should we explain it?"

"This is not difficult. What your Majesty wants is for the Gao family to disappear from the court of Dali. As a powerful figure of this generation, Gao Liangcheng leaves Dali. The Duan family will not allow the Gao family to become powerful again. By then, the Gao family will be

Weakened, it won’t be too late for you, Shangguan, to eliminate them one by one in Dali Kingdom.”

Zhang Bangchang nodded and asked: "What about Wu Lin and the others?"

"Shuai Wu is the Protector of Annan. It is impossible for him to be stationed here all year round. As for the army, let Fan Zongyin make the decision."

"That's all."

After the two discussed it for a while, they returned to the place where they had discussed it before.

Zhang Bangchang said: "Gao Xiangguo, I admire your responsibility, but we must look at things separately. If you offend the majesty of the emperor, it is equivalent to offending the dynasty. You must go to the capital to apologize. As for how the emperor will deal with you,

I can't interfere and I have no right to ask."

"It's time to work."

On March 20, Fan Zongyin, who had already advanced with his army, suddenly received a letter from Zhang Bangchang.

"Gao Liangcheng actually took the initiative to stand up and apologize!" Fan Zongyin noticed the change in the situation, "It seems that the southwest is going to redeploy."

He also wrote a memorial to Zhao Guan's family, stating his views on the current situation in Southwest China, which was similar to Fang Zhengyan's.

The country of Dali is very mountainous. As far as the current situation is concerned, if the internal unity of the country of Dali is unprecedented, the Song army may not be able to annihilate Dali.

Obviously we need to think of other ways.

However, Dali agreed to the request made by the Zhao Guan family.
