"Haven't the defenders of the city surrendered yet?"

Seeing the closed gate of the city, Cui Anqian couldn't help asking.

"Back to the Grand Governor, I still don't plan to surrender." Link shook his head.

"Who is the defender of the city?"

"His name is Zheng Maidao, the younger brother of Zheng Maihei, the minister of Nanzhao."

"No wonder he didn't surrender, it turned out to be Zheng Maihei's brother. Since he doesn't plan to surrender, let him hold on, and wait for the Tiance cannons and artillery to arrive, and then take this town. Cui Anqian was not in a hurry.

Although the army had been outside this Lane Dong City for several days, the Tang Army was not idle, and Yue Changxu led 8,000 troops to conquer the other towns south of Lane Dong City.

In fact, except for some resistance in Shisang County, the other towns all surrendered when they heard the wind, and Yue Changxu didn't make much effort at all.

Therefore, at present, the entire Langdong Festival is envoyed, and the remaining Langdong City has not been captured.

"Boss, at the end of the past two days, I will also find something, that is, there are few Han people in the lane, it can be said that there are almost none.

In this way, even if we capture Nanzhao in the future, governance will be a problem. Link was a little worried.

"That's a problem." Cui Anqian nodded, "This is deliberate by Nanzhao, when they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, they migrated the Han people to Yinsheng, Yongchang and other places far away from the border of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, there are very few in Langdong and Tuodong.

During this time, I also observed that although the terrain of the lane is mountainous, there are still suitable places for cultivation.

Later, the envoy will also clarify this problem like the imperial court, and migrate a large number of people from Sichuan Province, which will also facilitate my Tang Dynasty's control of these places. ”

"Chief, I heard that the area around Shanxifu is more suitable for farming." Link reminded.

"Places that are suitable for farming can move large numbers of people. But that's all later, for now, let's think about how to attack the capital of Nanzhao as soon as possible. Cui Anqian naturally knew that Link was referring to Wang Jian, but he didn't want to care about it at this time.

At this moment, someone hurriedly came to Cui An and whispered in his ear.

Cui An was a little shocked when he heard this, "Really? ”

"Back to the general manager, this is the information sent by Jinyiwei, there will be no fake."

"This Zheng Maihei is ruthless enough!" Cui Anqian reacted for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's going on, boss?" Link was a little curious.

"It's a big deal, I just got the news, Zheng Maisi killed all the Nanzhao royal family in front of Emperor Shun Huazhen of Nanzhao, a total of more than 800 people, none of them were spared, and even babies were killed.

As for Shun Huazhen, he hanged himself and died. Cui Anqian still thinks it's incredible.

Kill all the royal family, this Zheng Maihei wants to be on the throne.

"How did something so big happen all of a sudden?" Link was also shocked.

"But it's good for us.

Although Nanzhao is now in power, after all, the Mengshi clan has been in charge of Nanzhao for more than 100 years, and there are still many people in Nanzhao who are interested in the royal family.

If we make good use of it, our operation in Nanzhao may be smoother. Cui Anqian quickly sensed the opportunity.

I don't know how Zheng Maisi made a fool at this time, forced Shun Huazhen to death, and killed all the Nanzhao royal family, isn't this digging his own grave?

In this way, those who were forced to surrender to Zheng Maihei because of obscenity and coercion before are estimated to have a lot of backlash.

。。。。。。

"What? Zheng Maihei killed all the royal family and forced the saint to death? ”

Duan Baolong, who had just taken control of Jianchuan City, learned the bad news.

"A few days ago, it is said that Zheng Maisi killed all the royal families in the Shimei region in front of the saint, and the saint was then forced to die!" The person below explained.

"Zheng Maihei, this revenge will not be avenged for me, Duan Baolong will not be a man." After speaking, Duan Baolong vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Dudu, you should cheer up even more at this time!"

"Immediately gather troops and send troops to Yang Tho Baa City, and the governor of Pontus wants the head of Zheng Maihei to pay tribute to the saint." Duan Baolong shouted.

"Governor, the top priority is not to send troops, but to take the opportunity to take the Yongchang Festival envoy and set up a new king." Staff suggested.

"Another king? Wasn't the royal family all killed by Zheng Maihei? Duan Baolong was a little puzzled.

"The Governor forgot Prince Longteng? When the news of the death of the saint reaches Chang'an, with the ambition of the Tang people, a new monarch will definitely be established, and it is very likely that it will be Longteng.

At that time, the Tang army's attack in Nanzhao was even more justified, in what capacity will the governor deal with himself?

At this time, the governor should immediately set up a new king, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to take down the Yongchang Festival and Lishui Festival.

At that time, the governor with the soldiers and horses of the three towns can compete with Zheng Maisi and the Tang army, and recover my Nanzhao. The staff said.

"But where is the governor of Pontus going to find a candidate for the new king?" Duan Baolong was also a little helpless.

"Who said this new monarch has to be of Montessori blood? Wouldn't it be okay for the governor to find someone casually and say that he was from the Mengshi royal family?

Now that the Montessori royal family has almost been wiped out, no one can confirm whether our new monarch is really from the Montessori.

The Governor just needs a banner, and when the time is right, the Governor will abolish the new monarch. ”

Duan Baolong was very moved when he heard it.

In fact, Cui Anqian also thought of the idea of setting up a new monarch, but he couldn't make this decision, so he could only report it to the imperial court, so before the report reached Chang'an, Duan Baolong took the Jianchuan Jiedu envoy to set up a Mengshi royal family left behind in the people as the new emperor, and announced a crusade against Zheng Maihei to avenge the first emperor Shun Huazhen.

The news of this news had a great impact on the Pingnan army, and Duan Baolong's support for the new monarch was undoubtedly a betrayal of the Tang Dynasty and self-reliance.

Although he had long guessed that Duan Baolong had ambitions, Cui Anqian did not expect this.

After the artillery arrived, Cui Anqian ordered the army to attack Nongdong City, and after a day of fierce fighting, it broke through Nongdong City, Zheng Maidao was killed in battle, and the rest surrendered to the Tang army.

After conquering Nongdong City, Cui Anqing did not continue to attack westward, but turned to the east and southeast, and together with the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate and Wang Jianbu, he first conquered the Tuodong Jiedu Envoy and the Tonghai Governor's Mansion, and waited for the orders of the imperial court.

Although Duan Baolong's status as a new monarch has become a problem, he has taken the lead after all. And the death of Shun Huazhen also made the Tang army's previous banner of sending troops useless, and if it was used by the anti-Tang forces in Nanzhao at this time, it was very likely that the Tang army would fall into a situation where the enemy was on its back.

Duan Baolong's rebellion also made Cui Anqian's back road a little unstable, after all, Duan Baolong had some influence in the Huichuan Governor's Mansion.

Cui Anqian was still anxious before, but now he doesn't dare, in case of an accident, he and these tens of thousands of soldiers will be explained in this Nanzhao.

After Nanzhao broke away from the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty also attacked Nanzhao many times, but most of them ended in failure.

With the experience of the past, Cui Anqian did not dare to come nonsense.
