While Jian Yuwei was struggling to survive in the desert between Yizhou and Xizhou, the southern frontier of the Tang Empire was also about to move.

Yang Qing, who was far away in the Western Regions, would definitely not have imagined that Jiannan Dao was about to blow a storm that would not only affect him, but also affect Datang. And this storm happened to come at the beginning of the appearance of the Tang Dynasty. Ten years of Tianbao, the curtain of Datang in history from prosperity to decline, defeat and defeat has been quietly opened.

Quzhou, the general manager of the southbound military road, Jiannan Jiedu makes Xian Yu Zhongtongyuan.

Two middle-aged men with white scarves wrapped around their heads and colorful robes knelt respectfully in front of the hall, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Xian Yu Zhongtong was dressed in a military uniform, his hair was tied up high, and he sat behind the high case, with a volume of "Warring States Policy" in his hand, which was really a romantic Confucian general.

The deputy envoys, generals, soldiers and other generals of the barbarian army, one by one, sat on both sides of the big horse golden sword, and stood under the guards of Zhongtong, fully armed and majestic.

Damengguo (that is, Nanzhao, also known as Yunnan) Zhengke made Shen Mou glance at the hall embarrassed, and he really couldn't figure out the posture of Xian Yu Zhongtong, this general Xian Yu who leaned towards the southwest, took his own documents and didn't read them, and didn't speak for a long time, what the hell is going on?

Above the lobby, there was silence.

The deputy guest Teng Mi suppressed his anger and was almost unable to restrain it. If it weren't for the king's repeated instructions before leaving, everything would only be obeyed by Shen's plot, he would have jumped up and pointed at Xian Yu Zhongtong's nose and scolded. At this moment, seeing that Yu Zhongtong was holding a stinky shelf, he just hung the two of them on the ground, and he didn't ask someone to get up and give him a seat after kneeling for so long, and an evil fire couldn't help but rub up.

Shen Mou took Teng Mi's elbow and understood that if he didn't speak to break the deadlock, things would be even more difficult.

"General Xianyu, may I ask for your handwritten letter to the king of our country...... What's in the matter? ”

"Humph!"

Xian Yu Zhongtong slowly put down the scroll in his hand, picked up the tea cup in front of him, pretended to lift the lid, blow away the floating leaves, taste the fragrance, and take a sip.

"What about Ge Luofeng? Why didn't he come in person? ”

As soon as Teng Mi heard Xian Yu Zhongtong call the king's name so unceremoniously, he was furious and wanted to stand up and theorize, but he was killed by Shen Mou and held down.

"The king of our country has a lot of mundane affairs, and he is naturally in Yangtho City at this moment." Although Teng Mi was stopped, Shen Moulong's tone was no longer so respectful. After all, he is an envoy of a country, and this time he came to negotiate peace with the envoy, not a humiliating peace, the Great Mongolian State is nominally a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, but everyone knows that the two sides are not one family at all. For Xian Yu Zhongtong's rudeness, the Great Mengke Envoy can choose to tolerate it, but he does not have this obligation.

"Ge Luofeng's words are not very good, General Ben has a hard time reading it, and there are still a few unclear. Why don't you explain it in detail again? I'll hear it later. ”

As soon as these words came out, many Tang generals and personal soldiers in the hall suddenly showed contemptuous and ridiculed smiles, and a few of them even laughed out loud arrogantly. But Shen Mou's face changed when he heard the words, this is already a naked insult! Subconsciously just wanted to speak back, but when he thought of the king's earnest explanation, he still endured it, after all, the stakes were very high, and the possibility of meeting each other without a word was extremely great, and he couldn't fight for this tongue for a while.

"My king said clearly that the dispute with Zhang Taishou in Datang Yunnan a few years ago was really a misunderstanding. I am willing to immediately return the Tang Dynasty soldiers detained in Yunnan, and I am also willing to withdraw from Yunnan City and return to Lunan. It is hoped that the general will stop the war, return the army to the north, and rebuild the good relations of the two countries. Today, the Tibetan army is pressing, and it is really difficult for me to resist the southern edict, if the general blindly persuades each other, the territory of Dameng will return to Tibet! At that time, Yunnan will not be owned by Datang, I hope the general will think twice! ”

"Smack!" Xian Yu Zhongtong slammed the tea cup to the ground!

The surrounding soldiers pulled out their swords and took a step forward with a bang.

Shen Mou Lane and Teng Mi stood up at the same time, their cold eyes looked around, and there was no panic on their faces.

"Threaten me?" Xian Yu Zhongtong's eyes were red, as if he wanted to choose people and love them, "Last year, you barbarians, took advantage of my unpreparedness to make trouble, killed me Taishou, and seized my city, and now you want to send it away with a few words and a letter?" Dare to threaten me? ”

The matter that the two of them are talking about at the moment is actually a sign of the end of the ninth year of Tianbao and the honeymoon of Datang and Damengguo.

In December of the ninth year of Tianbao, the king of Dameng, Ge Luofeng, took the queen to the Huichuan Governor's Mansion to meet the new governor. Ge Luofeng is also the overlord of the world, how can he agree? Zhang Qiantuo was annoyed and ashamed, and sent people to the place where Ge Luofeng stopped to insult him, and even used his hands and feet against the queen, and said that Zhang Taishou had written to the court and accused him of many crimes. Ge Luofeng was furious, and he used all his troops to capture the 32 prefectures of Yunnan Prefecture, kill Zhang Qiantuo, and capture a large number of Tang army soldiers.

Xian Yu Zhongtong personally led an army of 80,000 and soldiers to take revenge this time.

Teng Mi couldn't hold back any longer: "What do you want?" ”

Shen Mou grabbed Teng Mi, and a pair of eyes were staring at Xian Yu Zhongtong, and his eyes were shining: "Xian Yu General!" Now our king is sympathetic to the hardships of the people, and does not want to start a war lightly. What's more, on the west side of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has been eyeing the tiger. The Son of Heaven Shengming intends to use Dameng to contain Tubo, and my king knows it, but he has always been happy to use his life, precisely because the Tang Dynasty and Dameng will benefit both sides and can last for a long time. Today's generals are so aggressive, but they don't know that if they are too aggressive, they will definitely harm themselves? Although Dameng is small, it is also united, and it may not be without the strength to fight! Although Datang is strong, the southwest border mountains are high and far away, and the whip is beyond reach! The events of Yunnan in the winter of last year are still vivid. As a lesson from the previous car, can the general turn a blind eye! ”

"Hahahaha! What a sharp mouth! Xian Yu Zhongtong looked up to the sky and laughed, "I didn't expect that in a wild place like you, there can be a sharp-toothed person, but this general underestimates you!" Hey! ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong suddenly smiled, propped his hands on the desk, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Shen Teng and the others condescendingly: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses this general brought to conquer the barbarians?" ”

Shen Mou was stunned, he really didn't know this. But recalling that all the way into Quzhou, the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were full of fresh clothes and angry horses, the number would never be small, and it was inferred from the number of soldiers stationed on the city wall that this time Xianyu Zhongtong's southern expedition, led by no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

The fierce Teng Mi didn't have the heart to count the outnumbered people in Zhongtong, he was born arrogant, except for Ge Luofeng, who was not convinced, not to mention that he captured Yunnan Mansion last year, he was the first Wu warrior to enter the city. In his heart, let alone fighting at his own doorstep, even if he fights to Jiannan Road, the Tang Army is not his opponent at all!

"Humph! I don't care how many people you bring! You should think about how many people you can bring back then! ”

"Hahahaha!" Xian Yu Zhongtong laughed loudly again, but his expression was extremely sneering, "The mayfly shakes the tree, and it is beyond his strength!" Okay, I want to see how your little Nanzhao can swallow my Jiannan's 100,000 soldiers! ”

Teng Mi's face changed slightly, and a trace of shock flashed through his eyes. Lakh?! But soon he realized that he was now in the camp of the Tang Army, and he must not show his cowardice. Don't say that 100,000 Tang soldiers are true or false, even if he really has 100,000 soldiers and horses? If Xian Yu Zhongtong dares to cross the Xi'er River half a step, he will definitely have no return! Thinking of this, Tengmi's face burst with pride.

When Shen Mou heard that the Tang Dynasty had sent 100,000 troops to conquer his country, although his face did not fluctuate at all, his heart was like a stormy wave. His first instinct was impossible! Unless Li Longji is crazy, or Xian Yuzhongtong is crazy, how can Datang put all the troops of Jiannan Province into Yunnan? Xian Yu Zhongtong must be bragging, even if last year's events really touched the tiger's beard, but today's Tang Dynasty is far from being comparable to the Taizong and Gaozong periods in the early Tang Dynasty, he just wants to retaliate, and it is impossible not to weigh Tubo's position and attitude!

When the Gaozong Dynasty was in the past, the main force of the Tang Dynasty conquered the Western Turks, and Tubo dared to take advantage of the emptiness of Tugu to raid in advance.

"One hundred thousand?" Shen Mou sneered, "The general has such a big breath!" Could it be that General Yu Xian really has the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers? Or maybe the general is so powerful that he dares to regard Tibet as nothing? ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong also sneered: "It's not your turn to wait for Nanban to worry about this!" ”

If you talk about intelligence and strategy, Xian Yu Zhongtong is not a straw bag. As an envoy of Jiannan Province, he naturally knew that his biggest task was to monitor Tubo in the west. In this expedition to the Southern Zhao, he only left 20,000 troops to hold the dangerous pass of the Tang-Tu border, and the rest of the troops were all thrown into the southern line.

It is still related to the political situation in Chang'an. When Xian Yu Zhongtong was serving as Jiannan's envoy in the past, he recommended a person to Zhang Qiu, the envoy of the festival at that time, a person who changed the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Zhao.

In the ninth year of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong, who knew the grace of the newspaper, as a squire of the military department, solemnly recommended Xian Yu Xiang (the word Zhongtong) to take over the post of Jiannan Jiedu envoy, and Xuanzong readily agreed.

At this moment, when he is competing with Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong naturally will not ignore the fact that Li Youxiang has received the support of the envoys of the border towns many times in his many years of ruling career, just as An Lushan is important to Li Linfu.

Therefore, when the Dameng rebellion broke out, Yang Guozhong rarely had a keen sense to think immediately, isn't this a great military achievement? Little Yunnan, just send a few thousand people to destroy it? At that time, Xian Yu Zhongtong will naturally be a famous general who will protect the prestige of the country, and I, Yang Guozhong, will definitely recommend meritorious service!

Therefore, Yang Guozhong gave Xian Yu Zhongtong a death order, and he must pacify Yunnan!
