Nanzhao, the Governor's Mansion of Huichuan.

Huichuan Governor's Mansion, one of the administrative divisions of Nanzhao, originally belonged to the network (xi) prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Xichuan Jiedu envoy. In May of the sixth year of Xiantong (865) of Tang Yizong, Nanzhao captured Netzhou, which was separated from the subordination of the Tang Dynasty and became the jurisdiction of Nanzhao. At the same time, Nanzhao changed Wangzhou to Huichuan Governor's Office, which governed three counties and seven prefectures, and became an important border town of Nanzhao against the Tang Dynasty, adjacent to Lizhou under the jurisdiction of Xichuan Jiedu.

At this time, a team of up to several hundred people had just arrived at the Aikawa Governor's Mansion, and the general who was the Eikawa Governor's Mansion came to greet him personally. The reason why this is so is because the leader of this team is Yang Qiqiu. Yang Qiqiu is not a bystander, but one of the six phases of Nanzhao at this time, Bu Xie (xie, four sounds), is the confidant of the current Nanzhao Emperor Longshun, although as the general of the Huichuan Governor's Office, the status is also very high, but it is only a 16-year-old child.

"Duan Baolong, the general of the Huichuan Governor's Mansion, has seen Yang Buxie." Duan Baolong, surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, came to Yang Qiqiu and made a simple salute.

Don't look at Duan Baolong's youth, but his life experience is extraordinary. His grandfather, Duan Zongbang, killed the powerful minister Wang Shengfeng, and the official to one of the six phases of Qingping; His father was the envoy of the Nanzhao Annan Festival, and led the army to capture a large amount of land in the Tang Dynasty Annan Protectorate, which greatly expanded the territory of Nanzhao. However, soon after his birth, his father died in battle, although Duan Baolong was named a general, but the Duan family was far less powerful than before, if it were not for his father's merit, Long Shun would not let him continue to stay in the Huichuan Governor's Mansion.

But even if he is nominally in charge of the Huichuan Governor's Mansion, less than one of the generals under his command listen to his orders, and he is only the nominal supreme official, so in the face of Buxie Yang Qiqiu, he naturally does not dare to put on a fight.

"General Duan is polite." Yang Qiqiu replied politely.

"Yang Buxie is here to make peace with the Tang Dynasty?" Duan Baolong had obviously done his homework before.

"That's right, Bi Xin (Nanzhao Chen Guojun is Bi Xin) ordered, and Yang didn't dare to disobey. Only by making peace with the Tang can the Nanzhao and the Tang people make a complete truce. Yang Qiqiu didn't hide it, and said.

Because there is no need for him to hide it, because the matter of harmony began several years ago, but there has been no progress. In the sixth year of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Yu, the then envoy of the Xichuan Festival, asked Li Yu to make peace with Nanzhao, but he gave up because of the opposition of the DPRK and China.

In the first month of the first year of Guangming (880), Emperor Li Yi ordered the eldest princess of Anhua to marry Emperor Longshun of Nanzhao. In the first year of Zhonghe (881), Long Shun sent envoys to Chengdu to welcome the eldest princess of Anhua, and contributed rare things and 100 beds of felt. However, Wang Duo, Xiao Yu and others objected, and Li Yi delayed it on the grounds that he was discussing the car clothes used by the eldest princess of Anhua, and the Nanzhao greeting personnel returned in vain.

This year, Long Shun sent one of the six phases, Bu Xie Yang Qiqiu, to show that Nanzhao attaches great importance to this peace.

The reason why Datang has repeatedly taken the opportunity to delay, and Nanzhao still does not give up the idea of harmony, is that Nanzhao no longer has the strength to fight against Datang.

Now Emperor Nanzhao's father Shilong, whose name offends the name of Tang Taizong and Tang Xuanzong, and the year of his succession coincided with the death of Xuanzong, Shilong did not send a sacrifice to the Tang Dynasty, nor did he report the news of his father's death to the Tang Dynasty, so Tang Yizong no longer canonized Nanzhao. So Shilong rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and in the first year of Xiantong (860), he changed the Yuan Jianji, changed the name of the country, and proclaimed himself emperor.

Subsequently, Shilong sent troops to attack Annan and Xichuan in the Tang Dynasty, and even once broke through Jiaozhi and besieged Chengdu. However, then Gao Yu led the army to break through Jiaozhi and recover Annam, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of troops in Nanzhao. A few years later, Gao Biao served as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and once again defeated the Nanzhao army, forcing the Nanzhao to recruit young men over the age of 15 to participate in the war, but he was still defeated, and the former emperor Shilong committed suicide by jumping into the river, and was finally rescued.

Later, Shilong invaded Xichuan again, but they were all defeated, and the continuous war led to a sharp decrease in the youth and prime of Nanzhao, and the treasury was empty, and finally the war could only be stopped. Before Nanzhao could repeatedly invade Xichuan, but even if Huang Chao broke through Chang'an, Qianneng and Guo Qi occupied Qiongya Erzhou, Nanzhao still did not dare to attack, you must know that the Tang army only stationed thousands of troops in Lizhou, it can be said that Nanzhao's courage was basically gone after the end of the war for more than 20 years.

And the newly enthroned second emperor of Nanzhao (before Shilong, they were all kings, not emperors) Long Shun, very similar to Li Yi, like to hunt and have fun, ignoring state affairs, and state affairs are basically handed over to the minister. However, knowing that the princess of the Tang Dynasty was beautiful, and Nanzhao was unable to match the Tang Dynasty, Long Shun was very sad about the matter of harmony.

"Now that Datang is in civil strife, why don't we take the opportunity to capture Xichuan and strengthen the strength of our Nanzhao?" Because his father died at the hands of the Tang Army, Duan Baolong did not have a good impression of Datang.

"General Duan's consideration is too simple." Yang Qiqiu shook his head, he didn't care about the thoughts of the little general in front of him, and thought of the incident reported by the other party before, so he said, "I heard that there were Tang rebels who defected to our country before, I don't know where they are now?" ”

"Yang Buxie is talking about Guo Qi and his party?" Duan Baolong asked.

Originally, for these hundreds of Tang Dynasty rebels, all the civil and military officials of the Huichuan Governor's Mansion were opposed to receiving them, thinking that they would offend the Tang people, but Duan Baolong learned that Guo Qi was familiar with the situation in Xichuan, and he was also very interested in the rich land of Xichuan, so he ignored the opposition of the generals below and took in Guo Qi and others. It's just that he doesn't understand how Yang Qiqiu is interested in Guo Qi and his party.

Yang Qiqiu nodded, "It's them." ”

Duan Baolong said, "They are in Jianchang City for the time being, and I will let people watch them." ”

"That's good, it just so happens that my country doesn't have any gifts that can impress the Tang people, and they are the best gifts." Yang Qiqiu said flatly.

"What does Yang Buxie mean?" Duan Baolong was uncertain.

"General Duan only needs to cooperate, don't worry about the rest, this has nothing to do with General Duan." After Yang Qiqiu finished speaking, he ignored the other party's reaction and entered Huichuan City.

After Yang Qiqiu left, Duan Baolong's face was pale, and his hands were clenched into fists, this Yang Qiqiu seemed polite, but in fact, he didn't take it seriously at all, but he couldn't do anything to the other party. Even this Chuancheng is not his master. If his father was alive, how could he be so insulted, thinking of his plan and the understatement of the other party, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction in the depths of his heart.

。。。。。。

"Boom!"

In a manor more than ten miles east of Chengdu Mansion, a sudden explosion recalled, the violent shock wave uprooted the nearby flowers, trees, and wooden stakes as if they were devastated, and the violent sound shook the surrounding people to numb their scalps, their ears were buzzing, and the tiles on the houses next to them also fell with a bang.

Just when everyone in the distance was stunned, a young man who looked like a Taoist priest jumped up, "It's successful, we've succeeded!" ”
