Weining Tuzhai and Momibu Manzhai are separated by more than 100 miles, and at the foot of Dapo Mountain between the two, Lu Ning met the officials of Dali.

Speaking of which, many adjacent areas of Qidi and Dali have natural dividing lines, the dividing line between Sichuan and Dali is the Dadu River, Guizhou, in the southwest of Weining, there are Jinsha River, Niulan River, etc., and there are Beipan River in the northeast.

There is no clear dividing line between Weining and Momi, although there are many mountains and rivers, but after all, there are many intersections between the activities of the local people on both sides.

The small friction between the Weining Department and the Momi Department was originally because of the belonging of this Dapo Mountain, and later, it evolved into a large-scale conflict, and then, it alarmed King Luodian and Dali.

The official of Dali State came from Shicheng County, to which the Ministry of Grinding belonged, and it was Yang Kedu, the county leader.

The six surnames of Nanzhao are Zheng, Yang, Zhao, Dong, Gao, and Duan.

In the later period of the Southern Zhao, the Zheng clan rebelled, destroyed the Southern Zhao, and established the Great Changhe Kingdom.

More than 30 years ago, the Yang family raised troops, slaughtered the Zheng family, supported the surname Zhao as the lord of the country, and changed the name of the country to Dayining.

Ten years later, that is, more than 20 years ago, the Duan clan got the help of the Dong clan and the Gao clan to destroy the Dayi Ning Kingdom, and the Dali Kingdom was established from there.

Nowadays, except for the Zheng family, which was killed and basically disappeared, the other five major clans are still the decisive force of the original Nanzhao and the current Dali.

However, the Dong family and the Zhao family are now gradually declining, and the Yang family and the Gao family have become the protagonists of the temple, in fact, although the Duan family is a royal family, it is more like several major clans ruling together, and in Dali, the imperial power is not so supreme at all.

And this Yang Kedu of Shicheng County is naturally a member of the Yang clan in Dali.

Nowadays, Dali implements the feudal lord system for the aristocratic surnames and 37 departments, but inherits the Nanzhao and sets up festivals, with a total of eight, called "Eight Kingdoms", or "Yunnan Eight Kingdoms".

In addition, in the area of the 37 barbarian tribes, there are counties, and nobles are sent as county officials to clamp down on the barbarian tribes.

Yang Kedu, the county leader, is second only to the county guard, and his status in Dali is roughly equivalent to the status of the deputy envoy of the governor of Qi in Qi.

He personally came to negotiate, which shows that Dali attaches great importance to this conflict.

After all, the Dali officials thought that what they had to face was only the barbarian leader of the Weining Ministry, and the deputy governor of the border county came in person, obviously wanting to extinguish the fire as soon as possible.

Yang Kedu didn't expect to meet Qi officials.

The moment he saw Lu Ning, and then listened to others introduce Lu Ning's identity, Yang Kedu's expression became solemn.

The little queen and Lan Chan, Lu Ning didn't let them appear, if Lu Ning hadn't come here in person, Yang Kedu wouldn't have been able to see the little queen and Lan Chan, after all, the negotiation should be reciprocal.

Lu Ning is a fourth-grade official, and Dali has no clear official rank, but Yang Kedu belongs to the deputy official of the first-level administrative region of Dali.

However, it was Nanzhao who relied on the strength of the terrain to fight against the Central Plains, but the Central Plains regime had a natural sense of superiority in front of it.

Yang Kedu also took a humble posture towards Lu Ning in the face of a subordinate official.

Speaking of which, the war between Nanzhao and the former Tang Dynasty detonated this war and made the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao in a state of hostility for a long time in the future, and the cause was also the arrogant mentality of a Tang official.

Nanzhao Wang Ge Luofeng's father was originally attached to the former Tang Dynasty to unify the six edicts, and he often had to go to Jiannan to visit the governor of Jiannan, so he often passed by Yaozhou, and his wife to see Yaozhou Thorn Shi (Yunnan Taishou) Zhang Qiantuo, Zhang Qiantuo saw the beauty of his princess, in front of the husband and wife and a group of entourage, directly asked for it, Ge Luofeng did not allow, Zhang Qiantuo insulted the princess with words, and then Zhang Qiantuo asked for bribes from Ge Luofeng several times, and Ge Luofeng who was holding his breath still did not give him.

Zhang Qiantuo was furious, not only sent someone to scold Ge Luofeng, but also played a false accusation of many crimes against Ge Luofeng.

Ge Luofeng was furious when he heard the news, and then attacked Yaozhou and killed Zhang Qiantuo.

As a result, the Tianbao War between Nanzhao and Tang broke out.

Nanzhao was soft and sued for peace, but the Tang lord did not follow, because the Tang people were arrogant and indulgent at that time, and they looked down on the small southwest barbarians, and Ge Luofeng was attached to Tubo, so the competition of the three kingdoms in the southwest was launched, although in the end Tubo was consumed to death, Nanzhao was even more of a disaster, every conflict, that is, the victory was also a heavy loss, and it was once defeated and defeated, but the Tang used troops in the southwest, and it was indeed a serious consumption of national strength.

In fact, the rebellion, so that the former Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhao from friendship to break up Ge Luofeng, has always hoped to rely on the former Tang Dynasty again, but also carved a monument in the country, the record is a last resort and rebel against the Tang Dynasty, said: "I have served the Tang Dynasty for generations, accepted its reward, and when the future generations surrendered to the Tang Dynasty again, I should point to the tablet to show the Tang Dynasty envoy, let him know that my rebellion is not my intention." ”

It's a pity that the former Tang Dynasty has always been very arrogant when it was in its prime, and it is another thing to convince the barbarians on all sides, and when the national strength declines, it is another thing to have a weak heart.

In addition, it is now very old, from the decline of the middle and late Tang Dynasty to the later fragmentation, and the awe of the Tang people has long been gone.

Although Yang Kedu's tone was modest, he didn't know what he thought in his heart.

The Qi people replaced the Tang Dynasty, and made Guizhou land attached, and recently, they pacified the Southern Han Dynasty and subdued Wu Yue.

But after all, Dali is the inherited territory of Nanzhao, easy to defend and difficult to attack, today's Qi country, the territory is much smaller than in the Tang Dynasty, and even Jiangnan has not been completely pacified.

Whether the aligners can really represent the Tang Dynasty and the ruler of Dali is naturally a wait-and-see attitude.

But in any case, it is obvious that Dali under the rule of the five major families, compared with the Nanzhao period, is less wild, respects the Central Plains etiquette, and is more gentle, on the border of Qi and Dali, he doesn't want to make trouble, Yang Kedu came in person, just to appease the Ministry of Qi Land, and when he saw Lu Ning, he was even more polite and polite, first of all, he apologized for the Mo Mibu, and said that Dapo Mountain could become a boundary mountain, divided into two, or, the people of both sides can go up the mountain.

In fact, Dapo Mountain was originally the scope of activity of the Momi Department, but this year there are many more bamboo shoots on the mountain, and the people of Weining have come to pick them, so conflicts broke out.

Listening to Yang Kedu's words, it is obvious that he is the most sincere to calm things down.

However, Lu Ning could only say with a calm face: "Dapo Mountain, which is the land of Weining, how can it be divided into two?" ”

Some regret coming to see the officials of Dali, but at the negotiation table, of course, we must strive for the greatest interests of the people under our rule, power is always greater than justice, since I came, I don't speak for the Weining Ministry, the other party put forward conditions, and I agreed, how will the people of Weining be the same? What do you think of Qi Guan?

"This, General Wen Yuan, I'm afraid that you have been deceived by the Wusa barbarians, right?!" Yang Kedu smiled bitterly.

"If not, please go back!" Lu Ning made a gesture.

Yang Kedu, his face was embarrassed, he thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay, Dapo Mountain, it will belong to Weining in the future." ”

Immediately, Lu Ning's good impression of this polite official was greatly reduced, and he was worried about the outbreak of conflict, so he agreed?

The little guilt in his heart when he oppressed him has long since disappeared.

Obviously, a small hill is nothing to Yang Kedu, and in his eyes, it is nothing to rule the barbarians, as long as he doesn't cause trouble at the border, everything will be fine.

"Hum", a few barbarians behind Yang Kedu immediately changed their faces, and they were all indignant and quarreled.

Lu Ning frowned, "You tell them, if they quarrel no matter how noisy they are, several hills in the south of Dapo Mountain will also be used to comfort the people under my rule, and two warriors in my Weining Department were seriously injured and died." "Actually, it seems that there are more casualties in the grinding department.

Yang Kedu turned his head and muttered a few words, it seems that it is not a paraphrase of Lu Ning's language, it should be to suppress them with the power of Dali, although those barbarian leaders have uneven faces and grit their teeth and resent, they are no longer noisy.

Lu Ning was beside a few Weining Tubu leaders, and they still looked a little dissatisfied, but naturally they didn't say much.

Lu Ning shook his head, although Dali is ready to be included in the territory, but that is a matter for the future, now, if you can maintain peace, you still have to maintain peace, and the land departments of Guizhou will also think about it and be restrained.
