Seven hundred and twentieth three chapters, both hard and soft
If an ordinary person travels from the capital to Lingnan, it may take a month or even a month and a half to reach Lingnan Prefecture. However, the imperial court's courier worked hard and arrived in Lingnan Prefecture in just over twenty days. On the way, the courier alone lost countless horses to death. , the messenger did not dare to rest, and did not return to the inn to rest until he handed over Emperor Qianxi's will to Wang Mingzhi.

Although Wang Mingzhi did not like Emperor Qianxi, when he heard the decree coming from the court, he did not dare to be careless at all. He took the messenger's decree in his hand and read it. He was shocked when he saw the content above. I looked up and down in disbelief. After I realized that I had read it correctly, I was stunned for a long time before I finally recovered.
Wang Mingzhi read the entire content, paused for a while, then slammed the table hard, and said angrily, "Dali is a small place, Duan Xingchang, Shuzi Xiaoer, how dare you rebel, I, Wang Mingzhi, will destroy them with the power of thunder, let them He, Duan Xingchang, understands that Dali will always be my fiefdom of Dagan, and if he dares to cross the border, he will be killed without mercy!"
"Weijie, come in!"
Wang Mingzhi shouted toward the door.
The person outside the door responded immediately, then pushed the door open and said respectfully, "Sir!"
Wang Mingzhi said succinctly, "Go to Nanyi Mansion immediately and ask Ling Yun to see me."
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Weijie immediately took the order and turned around to set off.
Chen Weijie knew that the matter was urgent, so he rushed to Nanyi Mansion without stopping. When he arrived at Nanyi Mansion, he did not dare to wait for a moment, and went straight to see Ling Yun.
It happened that Ling Yun was in the prefectural government office. When he heard the report from the personal guards, when Chen Weijie asked to see him, he was slightly stunned, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. He waved his right hand and ordered someone to take him to the living room.

As soon as Chen Weijie entered the living room, he immediately explained the reason for coming.
When Ling Yun heard that Wang Mingzhi had an emergency and summoned him, he did not dare to be careless. He only paused for a moment and then asked someone to prepare his horse. At the same time, he called Guo Yixiu and followed Chen Weijie to Lingnan Mansion.
Because of the urgency of the matter, Ling Yun set out from Guangxin City to Lingnan Mansion without stopping for a moment. When he arrived at the reception room of the governor's mansion, he was given a few cups of tea under the arrangement of the servant, and then he sat upright and waited for Wang Mingzhi's arrival.
Wang Mingzhi was busy and striding forward. When he saw Ling Yun, the two exchanged a few words and then handed Ling Yun the decree issued by the court. When Ling Yun saw the news of Dali's rebellion, his face did not show much emotion. Surprised, because he had already received the news first, but when he saw that the imperial court asked Wang Mingzhi to lead one hundred thousand troops to Qiannan to suppress the Dali rebellion, his face showed surprise and confusion.
Wang Mingzhi didn't want to waste any more words. He stared at him and said straight to the point, "If you have any thoughts about Dali's rebellion, just say it."
Ling Yun shook his head, "I just think that the good people in Dali want to rebel?"
Ling Yun's doubts are not unreasonable. Logically speaking, there are generally two situations when a vassal king rebels. Either he wants to be the emperor, or he is forced to embark on the road of rebellion after being overthrown by the imperial court.
And this king of Dali was so good, why did he want to rebel?
Do you want to make yourself emperor?
Obviously, the possibility of this kind of result is almost zero in the face of the behemoth Daqian, and it is really an unknown move.
Wang Mingzhi said angrily, "No matter what the reason is, the only way Dali is facing now is death."
Ling Yun curled up his lips and thought, aren't Wang Mingzhi and Emperor Qianxi very personal?
Why was King Dali so angry when he rebelled?
It's really off the mark.
Wang Mingzhi was angry and dissatisfied, so Ling Yun chose to remain silent, pretending not to know anything, and sat quietly in his seat, waiting for Wang Mingzhi's arrangements. It was obvious that Wang Mingzhi was so anxious to summon him to Lingnan Mansion, so he must have something to tell him.
Ling Yun had a high probability of guessing what was going on. He just wanted him to go to Qiannan with him to suppress the rebels in Dali. He knew it was one thing, but he had always adhered to the principle of not taking the initiative. As long as Wang Mingzhi didn't speak, he would remain silent. Be silent.
After all, Ling Yun didn't want to go. Sending troops to southern Guizhou meant that there was going to be a battle in southern Guizhou. If there was a war, there would be casualties. Since ancient times, there have been several expeditions. This is the simplest truth.
Moreover, even if they won in the end, given the nature of the people in the court, they would not give him any kind reward. At most, they would just throw away a piece of meat that no one would eat, and treat it as a pitiful charity.
Therefore, Ling Yun did not want to lead the 30,000 Nanyi Army to the expedition unless it was absolutely necessary. The current Nanyi Army was his treasure, guarding one-third of an acre of Nanyi Mansion. It was so comfortable. He had soldiers in his hands and no need to use his mobile phone. , are completely two concepts. Without enough leverage, it would be strange that he would send troops.
It is true that once the imperial edict arrives, no matter whether he is willing or not, as long as Wang Mingzhi gives the order, Ling Yun will lead the troops to go out. As General Pingnan, he naturally knows that general orders cannot be carried out.

Sure enough, when he saw that he was silent, Wang Mingzhi rolled his eyes, stared at him closely, and said in a deep voice, "The imperial court has ordered me to lead one hundred thousand troops to Qiannan, with the purpose of suppressing Duan Xingchang's rebels. I am I want to ask you to be a pioneer, are you willing?"
Ling Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and said solemnly, "Sir, the civil affairs of Nanyi Mansion are all on Xiaguan. Maybe Xiaguan has become the vanguard. As soon as the front foot leaves Nanyi Mansion, Nanyi Mansion's back foot will be in chaos. If not, Sir, choose someone else?"
Wang Mingzhi's face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "Ling Yun, I'm calling you here not to discuss with you, but to inform you of the matter solemnly. If there are no objections, you should return to Nanyi Mansion and summon Nanyi Mansion. The Yi army took the lead in the expedition to southern Guizhou."
"My lord, I have objections..." Ling Yun replied with a bitter smile, thinking that there was still room for negotiation, but he was rejected by Wang Mingzhi without thinking.
I saw that he spoke righteously, "If you have any objections, you should report it to the court. Furthermore, I remember that your secret message can reach the emperor directly without going through me. If there is a problem now, when you get the military order and go back, you can report it to the court yourself." Or if the emperor complains, I will not allow you to discuss it with me."
This reversal made Ling Yun unable to react for a moment. He didn't just ask him again if he had any objections. He did, but he was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth. This was obviously a lonely objection.
"But, sir, as promised..."
"No but, I give you two days to lead 30,000 Nanyi troops to quickly support Qiannan. If you dare to disobey, haha... As General Pingnan, you have also led troops. You should know that disobeying military orders At the end of the day, if you dare to disobey military orders, don’t blame me for not remembering old friendship and beheading you in public display!"
"I will accept my order!" Ling Yun accepted the order with his mouth flat. You can imagine how aggrieved he felt.
"etc."

Just as he turned to leave, Wang Mingzhi spoke again.
Ling Yun stopped and said gloomily, "Sir, I have other instructions."
"Bring the Black Tiger Army."
"Then Beicanghe..."
"I have my own arrangements in Beicanghe. In addition, I will allocate you another 10,000 troops and horses. A total of 50,000 troops and horses will be commanded by you. I have only one request. Dali must not be allowed to advance even half a step. Otherwise, we will be out of the way.
I am the only one asking you about the matter."
Wang Mingzhi suddenly softened his tone, "If you can defeat the Dali rebels and you want to stay in Nanyi Mansion, I will help you do it. No one in the capital can transfer you, and I will definitely let you
Upgrading to another level is limited to military attache."
