Only by committing suicide can you be completely defeated...Now that you are trying to win a breath, you have actually brought that Zhao Song official into the situation, isn't it going to ruin the overall situation of my Gao family?" Gao Liang set up next to the jade bis, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Uncle, why do you have to be so grand?" Gao Zhenshou sneered. "You have ruined the overall situation of the Gao family a long time ago... You are in the first grade of junior high school, but your nephew can't be in the fifteenth grade? Besides, without Zhao Song's official family, our two sects will not be able to do it."

If you don't fight anymore, you can keep Bu Xie's position?"

"Even if I can't keep Bu Xie's position, I can't let you live in peace." Gao Liangcheng finally said coldly.

"That's why I brought Zhao Guan's family in." Gao Zhenshou was undaunted. "Gao Liangcheng! It's true that our Beizong is the direct lineage, and I am the eldest grandson of the late Chinese Duke! I am the other branches of the lineage.

, they all recognize me! Now that I am older and more powerful, you should have abdicated and made way for me!"

"What if I don't let it go?" Gao Liangcheng also said fiercely. "I have led Nanzong to run Weichu for decades. Unless I send out a large number of troops to capture it, who can touch my foundation? Although the Song Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of elites who have fought in hundreds of battles, But I am not acclimated to the climate and the road is difficult, so it may not be able to overthrow me!"

"Then I won't lift it." Gao Zhenshou was still calm. "Duan Heyu and his disciples seized the throne and the country was in chaos. I opened the road from the north and introduced five thousand Zhao and Song armors into the capital. I abolished the establishment and appointed Bu Xie myself. ... If you want to be your county Buxie in Weichu, just go and be one. What does it have to do with me? Even if you proclaim yourself the Buddha of Wuliang Mountain, you can't even get the imperial title from the official in Yanjing... He's not even worth a stone. I'm happy to seal it, not to mention my uncle, a big living person who is in charge of a county?"

Gao Liangcheng was stunned and immediately argued: "I still have Shanchan Mansion (Kunming)."

"Shanchan Mansion rarely has plains, and the east side is full of black barbarians who are dissatisfied with the Duan family and our Gao family... As long as I open the road and lead the Song army in, can you defend Shanchan Mansion? You don't know that the black barbarian Yang family has always been Are you planning to recognize your relatives in the north and ask for the title of Duke?" Gao Zhenshou sneered even more.

"Zhenshou, you are inviting the wolf into the house." Gao Liangcheng lowered his voice. "The Song Dynasty has come in, and the Yang family and the black barbarians are rising again. What benefit does it have to our Gao family? It's just that we lost the Shanchan Mansion in vain...and , as time passed, Zhao and Song annexed the Duan family sooner or later, and Bu Xie's position was in vain."

"In this case, why don't uncle hand over the position of Shanchan Mansion and Bu Xie to my nephew?" Gao Zhenshou only thought it was ridiculous. "In this case, I will naturally not attract wolves into the house again."

Gao Liangcheng could only sneer.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Gao Zhenshou also looked bachelor:

"Uncle! The current situation is that it is true that you have great power, but no matter what, in the future, you can only keep the power of Chu at most! And I originally only had the Tongshang Mansion, no matter what, it will not be less... Why shouldn’t I fight?”

"Of the same clan..." Gao Liangcheng had no choice but to do his best to speak sincerely.

"Same clan! Same clan! And you're inviting a wolf into your house? It's as if Wei Chu and Shan Chan have a share in our Northern Sect in the past few decades!" Gao Zhenshou became increasingly impatient. "Your Southern Sect's handling of affairs is even worse than that of the wolves in the north. In fact, they can at least trade fairly, treat each other with courtesy, and let my second brother win the Jinshi along the way and be promoted to the magistrate. But for decades, your Southern Sect has only treated our Northern Sect as thieves to guard against... The two sects, the north and the south, have long ceased to be one family! And this is all the result of your eccentric background and your insistence on clinging to power and position!"

"We can't just talk about the private interests of the clan, but also about the national affairs." Gao Liangcheng tried to make his last effort. "If you do this, how will the country's situation in Dali be?"

"That's almost enough!" Gao Zhenshou was completely fed up. "It's as if we didn't allow you and Duan Heyu to do big things... During the civil strife in Jiaozhi, you supported Weng Shenli and threw weapons, money, and food at them like a stream of water, even the national treasury was destroyed. Is it empty? Has it become empty? Is our Beizong holding us back? All the savings accumulated from trading tea copper with the north for many years have been wiped out by you in every possible way!"

Gao Liangcheng sighed and sat down with the immeasurable jade that had just been enshrined, not caring about the water splashing on him.

"Uncle, there are some things we can only say here."

Seeing this situation, Gao Zhenshou also became confused. "Why do you want to support Weng Shenli regardless of the century-old relationship between Dali and Jiaozhi? Do you really think I don't understand? It's not the Northern Expedition of Zhao and Song, and the power of the decisive battle between Song and Jin that shocked you? It's not that As you watch the Liao annihilate the country and go west, and the Song Dynasty rise from the ashes, you have some doubts in your heart..."

"Yes." Gao Liangcheng looked tired. "We all started in the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty. Over the past one or two hundred years, one by one, each generation has become worse than the previous generation. One by one, the inner bag has been poured out, and it was especially the case in the Song Dynasty.

It falls quickly and recovers quickly. Seeing that there is a tendency to unify the eight wastelands, each family naturally has to survive on its own. In Xiliao, it is a new beginning and a new approach, but we are in a situation where a centipede is dead but not dead.

.So, I discussed this strategy with Duan Heyu, thinking that on the one hand, I would swallow up the land to strengthen myself, strengthen the depth, and on the other hand, divert the trouble to the west, mess up Jiaozhi, make a sacrifice, and exchange for decades of peace and tranquility for my family. But..."

"But when it comes to the fundamentals, isn't it already defeated?" Gao Zhenshou said. "After four or five years of fighting, the treasury was emptied, the people were exhausted, and the black barbarians were about to rebel again, but they were still defeated, and

It happened that after the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, they first went to build the river for seven or eight years. Now that the country's strength was full, they pretended to have just freed up their hands and looked around. It was our turn in Dali to fall into the eyes of others... So, uncle,

Don't pretend, I don't believe you are not prepared."

"Of course I have considered it." Gao Liangcheng covered his face and said. "Moreover, I have already revealed it to Uncle Wu in private, and I am afraid that the Zhao Guan family in Yanjing also knows... Zhenshou, if Beizong really exists

If you fight to the end, I will give you Dali!"

This time it was Gao Zhenshou's turn to be dumbfounded and stunned on the spot.

"Why are you so shocked?" Gao Liangcheng asked calmly. "Anyway, if you fight for it, I will keep Weichu Palace at most. Dali Buxie can't do it, and the position of Duke will be handed over to you... Why don't you take the initiative to make a deal with Zhao Guan's family?

Are you planning to become a serious King of Weichu County? Zhao Guan’s family also hinted that if things go well, they will grant me Jingzhen Mansion and Xiushan County together, and also allow my second son to go out to Guangxi and serve as the imperial camp commander.

Officials, let’s spread the branches in the Song Dynasty to avoid the troubles between the northern and southern sects in Weichu.”

"The Zhao Guan family accepted me." Gao Zhenshou hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly said. "He and Zhenming had a face-to-face conversation, saying that if one day Dali Tongxu was no longer around, the Song Dynasty would set up Yunnan Road, and only take Shanchan and Jianchang.

The palace is under direct jurisdiction. If it is unfavorable to the customs to transfer officials directly under the jurisdiction, the two palaces can be granted to one of his sons. Everyone regards the Prince of Zhao as the co-owner... As for our Beizong, in addition to commanding the palace, we can also get

Shanju, Tengchong two counties, and then become a serious hereditary king... The second child will naturally stay in the Song Dynasty. After being exiled as an official, he will be given many rewards and will not compete with my son for the throne."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and both felt their mouths were dry.

After a while, Gao Liangcheng continued to speculate in a low voice: "If you look at it this way... the Duan family can also keep the Dali mansion and Yongchang mansion. It is impossible to say that Nongdong also belongs to the Duan family, and is still a hereditary prince... As for Dong Dong

In the face of the Wuman, each tribe must be able to stand on its own, and a big family like the Yang family can get a county and become a serious county king."

"If that's the case... why can't it be done?" Gao Zhenshou thought for a while and then chopped it hard next to the jade. "Every family can't lack anything..."

"It's not that it can't be done." Gao Liangcheng sighed. "It's that the Gao family's more than one hundred years of hegemony and the Duan family's more than one hundred years of foundation will be ruined together... Shanchan Mansion will also be lost."

"But in the current situation, can the Gao family's hegemony and the Duan family's foundation really be continued?" Gao Zhenshou looked at the two people above the waterfall, shook his head, and waved his hands to himself. "This is a conspiracy."

"Yes, this is a conspiracy."

Gao Liangcheng stood up, grabbed his nephew's hand, and said sincerely, "That official saw that Dali was empty inside, but it still split into four... Duan family, Gao family

The two sects in the north and south, and the Wuman in the east, are fighting for each other, and are in chaos, so they are trying to enrich themselves and want to take Shanchan Mansion out of thin air and establish a road. The Wuman will not talk about it, it is really a blood feud, but if our Gao family

If the two sects in the north and south, as well as the Duan family, can unite as one, the official will never go on an expedition to throw away elites, money and food for a mere Shanchan Mansion... and the foundation of our ancestors can continue!"

Gao Zhenshou turned back to look at his uncle. He was silent for a long time before speaking: "If this is the case, I will no longer want the position of Bu Xie, and I will no longer want the jurisdiction of the Shanchan Mansion. But with the title of Duke of China, the Shanchan Mansion suppresses the black barbarians."

Can you give me the military power? I also have to go back and get something to convince Zhenming... He has already considered himself a Song Dynasty person."

Gao Liangcheng wanted to speak several times, but thinking of his sons, he could not answer.

Gao Zhenshou sighed and finally slowly withdrew his hand: "In this case, we might as well talk to Zhao Guan's family on their own."

"That's right, that's right!" Gao Liangcheng also smiled bitterly, but he still couldn't help but think of that sentence: "The centipede insect dies but does not freeze. It splits into two and keeps its foundation. It's not bad."

One month later, Zhao Guan's family received a secret letter in Yanjing. When he opened it and read it, there was only one sentence:
Chapter completed!
