Hearing that Duan Jianwei came to ask for a meeting, Li An was very happy, which showed that Nanzhao was convinced, and Duan Jianwei could come, which showed that he could use negotiation to solve the problem. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"General, Duan Jianwei is a strategist of the Nanzhao army, he can come in person, it seems that Nanzhao has really been subdued, hahaha!"

"General, he must have come to surrender."

The officers and men of the Southern Army of Zhongping were talking about the great defeat of the Nanzhao army, and Duan Jianwei suddenly came to visit, and their interest was naturally very high.

However, since Duan Jianwei is here, Li An can't be rude, making the family too faceless, after all, Datang and Nanzhao still have common interests, and this attack on Nanzhao is just to warn Nanzhao Lord Pi Luoge, what he can get, what he can't get, obey the will of Datang in order to have a good life.

"Open the city gate and welcome Duan Jianwei into the city."

Li An was not afraid that the Nanzhao army would suddenly kill, so he was relieved to boldly let Duan Jianwei enter the city by opening the city gate.

On the one hand, this is for etiquette, so that Duan Jianwei will not enter the city in a dangerous hanging basket, and on the other hand, it shows the self-confidence of the Tang army, and the reason why they dare to open the city gate is that they are not afraid of the attack of the Southern Zhao army.

After the order was conveyed to the city gate, the city gate slowly opened and welcomed Duan Jianwei into the city.

"Mr. Duan, please inside."

Several Tang Army generals greeted Duan Jianwei's arrival outside the door without smiling.

Duan Jianwei's face darkened, and he motioned for several guards who followed him to stay outside, and walked in alone.

Seeing that Duan Jianwei's complexion was not very good when he entered the hall, Li Anxin was quite proud, but on the surface, he looked expressionless, and looked at Duan Jianwei coldly.

After Duan Jianwei entered the hall, he looked at Li An and the many Tang Army generals on both sides, took a deep breath, and arched his hand: "Duan Jianwei has seen General Li. ”

'Yes, have we really met?' ’

Li An was slandered in his heart, and the corner of his mouth smiled lightly: "I will set up this seat for Mr. for a long time, Mr. Duan, please sit down!" ”

Duan Jianwei raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Li An, his heart was extremely painful, but he had to go to Li An's preset seat, sit down gently, and look at Li An sideways.

Li An and Duan Jianwei looked at each other for a moment, and then spoke first: "This will be the first time I have seen Mr. Duan, and presumably Mr. Duan will also meet this general for the first time, but Mr. Duan's reputation, this general has already heard of it, Nanzhao can have such a great talent as Mr. Duan, it is really a blessing for Nanzhao!" ”

There was a slight sour feeling in his words, Duan Jianwei's face became even more ugly after hearing this, he paused, and sneered: "General Li has won the award, which is insignificant, but General Li is brave and invincible, and has made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and I admire it very much." ”

"Haha! Mr. Duan, you and I don't want to be polite to each other, let's talk about the situation in the planing area! ”

Li An introduced the topic to the topic, and said: "Mr. Duan, since the turmoil in the land, the Nanzhao side has been worrying about the Tang Dynasty, first persuaded the wealthy families in the plan, let them return to the Tang Dynasty, for this reason, do not hesitate to marry the two daughters of the edict into the land, for this, this will be quite admired, after that, the Nanning Prefecture ghost master Chongdao launched a riot, Nanzhao is sent troops to participate in the counterinsurgency, for our Tang army to share the great pressure, for this, I will be deeply grateful, Your Majesty will know, will also reward the king of Yunnan." ”

Obviously, Li An said all the conspiracies of Nanzhao as being loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so as to make Duan Jianwei more acceptable, of course, Duan Jianwei is not a fool, he naturally knows that Li An said this in order not to be face-wrenching with Nanzhao, indicating that the Tang Empire needs Nanzhao as a small partner, not only wants Nanzhao to give up the ambition of annexing the land, but also wants Nanzhao to fight against Tibet.

Datang's requirements seem to be a bit excessive, however, the land itself is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the joint fight against Tubo is also to protect Nanzhao from being invaded by Tubo, and there is no harm to Nanzhao, after all, Datang's policy is much better than Nanzhao, and it is more rich and civilized.

Since Li An has affirmed the positive role played by Nanzhao in the process of disposing of the land, Duan Jianwei naturally can't help but appreciate it, paused, and said respectfully: "General Li is polite, Nanzhao is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, besides, the land is in chaos, and it also has a great impact on Nanzhao, whether it is for the Tang Dynasty or for its own interests, Nanzhao must wholeheartedly maintain the stability of the land, this is what I Nanzhao should do, it is not much credit, but the Tang army acted quickly, and within one day, recovered the four cities controlled by the rebels, Let my Nanzhao army be out of reach, admire, admire. ”

There was also a sour feeling in these words, but Li An didn't care about this, and said softly: "It's thanks to the Nanzhao army that dragged the main force of the rebels, and my Tang army was able to recover these four cities so easily, and the credit of the Nanzhao army is still very great, and the general will definitely report to Your Majesty truthfully, Mr. Duan can let the Nanzhao soldiers wait to receive the reward!" Ha ha! ”

Li An's words are very clear, it is to recover the four cities, this is to tell Duan Jianwei that the cities in the land are all owned by the Tang Dynasty, and he led the army to occupy these cities, which is to recover the lost territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is a reasonable and legal act, and Nanzhao should not have different opinions on this.

Duan Jianwei understood that what Li An, as a general of the Tang Dynasty, naturally represented the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and Li An's expression was also very clear, Nanzhao must not have the idea of annexing and cultivating land, not the slightest, this is the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no possibility of any concession on the issue of sovereignty.

"Hahaha! As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, my Nanzhao can share the worries of the Tang Dynasty, which is really a matter of duty, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, but in order to quell the rebellion in the land, the loss of my Nanzhao army is quite huge, and I must return to Taihe City as soon as possible to rest, and the mess of the land will be troubled by the general to clean up in person. ”

Duan Jianwei decisively asked to leave the land and give all the land to Datang.

Li An was overjoyed in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "What Mr. Duan said is that the Nanzhao army has made such a great contribution to my Datang, and the casualties are quite large, it is time to go back and take a good rest, oh, by the way, there are a lot of gold sore medicines here, and the effect is very good, so I will give you a car." ”

Duan Jianwei pretended to be happy, and arched his hand: "In this way, thank you General Li, I have to go back to prepare next, and I will leave first." ”

Li An nodded lightly: "The generals will send Mr. Duan." ”

Under the farewell of all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, Duan Jianwei left Queensland City with a helpless face, different from when he came, he brought a whole cart of gold sore medicine with him when he left, which Li An had prepared a long time ago, and from the moment he asked the eight small troops to go out of the city, he was ready.

At the moment when Duan Jianwei and his entourage left the city gate, eight small units of the Tang Army, totaling 400 people, passed by Duan Jianwei and quickly entered Queensland City.

Seeing that the Tang army's troops, which were only 400 people, all returned to the city intact, without even a single wounded soldier, Duan Jianwei's heart was already desperate to the extreme, the elite of the Tang army had far exceeded his imagination, at this moment, he completely broke off the idea of revenge against the Tang army in the future and avenged the arrow, and decided not to seek land again.

"Big brother, we're back."

"Big brother, our eight-way people and horses are haunted, and the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao have no backhand."

"These are all generals who command the troops in a good way, our army is all elite, coming and going freely in the dark jungle, and the soldiers of the Nanzhao Army can't see it when they walk next to us, just like blind people."

"The general asked the soldiers to eat more pork liver at ordinary times, and the soldiers no longer couldn't see things at night, and seeing things at night became more and more clear, which was the key to the victory of our army."

The soldiers who had won the victory were all very excited when they returned to the city.

Li An was naturally even more happy, and said softly: "Let the soldiers have a good rest, and tomorrow morning, watch the Nanzhao army leave the planing land." ”

"Yes, General."

With excitement, the generals returned to their respective residences.

###

Five miles east of Queensland, Duan Jianwei returned to the Nanzhao camp with a cart full of gold sore medicine with an escort, his expression extremely lonely.

Of course, Ge Luofeng did not rest, the army under his command suffered such a heavy blow, and his henchman Duan Jianwei was still with the Tang army, he was nervous, of course he couldn't sleep.

Ge Luofeng, who was meditating in the big tent, heard the neighing of horses outside and knew that Duan Jianwei was back, so he hurriedly strode out of the big tent and greeted him.

Duan Jianwei didn't say anything, and first bent down to give Ge Luofeng a salute.

"What's wrong, Mr. Duan, isn't things going well? What is this car? ”

Ge Luofeng pointed to the baggage cart behind Duan Jianwei and asked.

Duan Jianwei sighed and replied softly, "Eldest Prince, this is a cart of gold sore medicine that Li An gave us, and it has been prepared a long time ago. ”

"They actually prepared the gold sore medicine a long time ago, this is a humiliation to us, a great humiliation, it is really unreasonable, how can it be justified."

Ge Luofeng felt very angry, the other party sent so many medicinal materials to treat wounds, didn't he clearly tell him that the Tang Army could not only shoot and wound your soldiers, but also sent you medicinal materials, everything was under the control of the Tang Army, but they were played with in the palm of their hands.

Duan Jianwei lowered his head, not knowing what to say, with a helpless expression.

Ge Luofeng then asked: "What does Ang Li mean, can we get a profit from our hard planning." ”

Duan Jianwei hurriedly shook his head and said helplessly: "Datang has no intention of backing down, and in the future, he will garrison troops in Liangjiao to connect Jiaozhou and Yizhou." ”

"In that case, we're a complete failure."

Ge Luofeng was a little unwilling.

"It's a failure, it's a complete failure, this matter is all my poor planning, after returning to Taihe City, my subordinates will ask the edict lord for guilt, and take all the blame."

That's all Duan Jianwei can do now, what can he do besides taking the initiative to take responsibility?

Ge Luofeng was a little unbearable, and said softly: "This matter is not only related to Mr., Xiao Wang is also at fault, how can I let Mr. bear all the faults, Xiao Wang is willing to take responsibility with Mr." ”

Duan Jianwei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "By all means, the eldest prince is the hope of Nanzhao's future, if the prestige is damaged because of this matter, it is really worth the loss, the subordinate is just a small person, it is not a pity to die, besides, the edict lord may not really kill me, for the sake of my brother's face, it should not, as long as the subordinates are still alive, they will definitely continue to serve the eldest prince and help the eldest prince ascend to the position of the lord of Nanzhao." ”

Looking at the loyal Duan Jianwei, Ge Luofeng was quite moved in his heart, but maybe Duan Jianwei was right, he was the eldest prince of Nanzhao and the hope of Nanzhao's future, and his prestige could not be damaged, otherwise, it would be the loss of the entire Nanzhao, and for this reason, he could only let Duan Jianwei take the blame.

There were a lot of wounded soldiers in the Nanzhao army, and the gold sore medicine in reserve was far from meeting the requirements, and a cart of gold sore medicine given by Li An solved the urgent need, and Lang Zhong in the Nanzhao army smeared these gold sore medicines on the wounds of the Nanzhao soldiers, and soon made these soldiers stop moaning.

With this batch of special medicines, all the soldiers of Nanzhao received timely treatment, and the camp quickly returned to quiet.

On the second day, the Nanzhao soldiers five miles east of Queensland all got up, and under the orders of the generals, they threw away the armor on their bodies and replaced them with the unique rattan armor of Nanzhao, and all the flags in the army were also changed to the Nanzhao banner.

After dawn, the Nanzhao army had already thrown away all the armor and flags in the planing area, and concentrated them in several fixed locations for incineration.

"Great Prince, the whole army is ready to go."

Ge Luofeng looked around, nodded and said, "Let's go, return to Taihe City." ”

More than 10,000 Nanzhao troops, under the leadership of Ge Luofeng, rose up from the camp, detoured from the path outside Queensland, and marched towards the territory of Nanzhao.

This trail, which is only more than two miles away from the Queensland city wall, can be seen from the marching Nanzhao army although there are scattered trees blocking the view.

At this moment, Li An and all the soldiers under his command were standing on the city wall, looking at the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao who were going around the city, and talking a few words from time to time.

"General, Nanzhao has been busy for more than a year, but in the end he made a wedding dress for my Datang, Pi Luoge must be very angry, will he ......?"

Li An smiled: "Of course not, yesterday's battle, the soldiers of Nanzhao have been frightened, they will definitely tell the strength of my Pingnan Army to Pi Luo Ge truthfully, I think with the wisdom of Pi Luo Ge, I should not choose eggs to touch stones, what we have to do is how to stabilize the situation in the planing land, appease the people in the planing land, let them accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind, and let the fetters here all become the real states and counties of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes, what the general said is that we will go all out to completely control the land."

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at the Nanzhao army that continued to march, and actually had a slight feeling of sympathy in his heart, whether he was too ruthless, and he didn't even let Nanzhao drink a sip of soup. (To be continued.) )
