15. Deg Annam

At the meeting place of the Qinjiang River and the Longmen River, the dark-skinned Wei Daotian first jumped into the water, he was originally a Kunlun slave, and he was naturally familiar with the sea, and then he groped out a gentle way to go ashore, and beckoned to the tall tooth boat.

Then Gao Yue held the Yunfu sword, which symbolized the conquest, the wind stirred his purple robe, chewed a cane sugar pill in his mouth, and went down from the tooth boat, and changed to a light ship, surrounded by more than a dozen generals, military officials and staff.

When he was still twenty paces to the shore, Gao Yue jumped down with an arrow, and the waves reached his knees, and then he walked side by side with many soldiers and disciples, and waded through the water on foot amid the earth-shattering cheers, until he landed on the land of Qinzhou.

Ming Huaiyi also jumped off with Daddy, but he sank into the sea and was pulled ashore by his two younger brothers and others.

"If you get wet, you won't get good, you won't get good!" Ming Huaiyi shouted angrily, and then felt sorry for the sucrose pill he was carrying, which was washed away by the water.

When the army arrived at the city of Qinzhou, they found that the city's city gods, walls, and public houses were all destroyed and unrepaired, and the market and temples were full of barren grass, so they knew that it was difficult for the dynasty to maintain normal order in these states, so Gao Yue ordered to surround the city and set up camp: Wu Yi's left, center, and right armies built their own bases, and the Zhenhai Navy and Bai Shuilang set up camp around Longmen Jiangwan, two-thirds of them gathered on the shore, and one-third were left on the ships to guard.

Previously, Gao Yue asked the Lingnan Pingbo Army and the Zhedong Town Navy to leave a small part of their military strength in turn, and temporarily stationed them on the first-line coasts of Hepu, Leizhou, and Yangjiang in Lianzhou, responsible for the transportation and safety of grain and straw supplies.

Ascending the incomplete Qinzhou enemy platform, Gao Yue looked at the sea behind him, and looked at the mountains and mountains and dense forests on both sides of the Longmen River, so he asked Zhang Zhou, the Marquis of Pingbo Army: "How is the journey to Jiaozhou Annan Mansion from here?" ”

Zhang Zhou said that it only takes one day to sail by boat, and if the wind is downwind, it will only take one day to enter the territory of Jiaozhou.

"What about overland?"

Zhang Zhou replied that from the southwest corner of Qinzhou, you can not only climb the mountain into the boundary of the Dongman settlement of the left and right rivers of the Xiyuan, but also enter the north and south of Anbei by passing the road.

Gao Yue nodded and sighed, "Such Qinzhou Lianzhou can really be regarded as the 'Gate of the Sea' connecting Annam!" At this time, he took out the brocade map with his own hands, pointed to the ocean in the south, and said to the people around him: "The original Huangdongman in Pingxi is just one of the goals of this expedition, and there is another, that is, after the pacification, he will go to sea from Qinzhou to the capital of Annan, expel the barbarians entrenched there, and restore the garrison of our Tang Dynasty." ”

Lu Zhen reminded him before that the slang bureaucrats who rebelled in Annan and Xiyuan obviously had the support of Nanzhao behind them.

Although Nanzhao is now subservient to the Tang Dynasty, it is also clear that the Tang Dynasty is in the north, and there are two military routes that can be attacked against it, one is the Qingxi Road in Shanzhou, or the other is the Shimen Road in Rongzhou, but in addition to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty also has a military route, that is, the "Butou Road" between Annan and Dianchi: during the Tang Tianbao period, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong were ordered to open a passage, that is, starting from Anning City (now Anning City, Yunnan Province), along the Red River, to the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate.

The war between Tang and Nanzhao broke out three times, and the Tang army of Annam also used the Butou Road to attack three times, with the other two roads, and attacked Nanzhao in the north and south, although the overall battle situation failed in the end, but this road also gave Nanzhao a great shock, so after the Anshi Rebellion, Nanzhao was also the same as Xifan, actively expanding its power to the east of Dianchi Lake, the goal was to covet Annan, and wanted to avoid the threat of his belly and back.

But Gao Yue would not allow this to happen.

Because Annam has been an inalienable territory of our Celestial Empire since ancient times.

As far as the situation of the frontier is concerned, Annan is located in the rich Honghe agricultural area, and it is also the gateway of the east-west road of Lingnan. In addition, for Gao Yue's plan, the Jiaozhou Port of Annam has been the tributary sea route of the Nanyang countries since ancient times, starting from the Jiaozhou Port, the nearest is three or five hundred miles, and the far one is tens of thousands of miles, and you can reach different countries by boat.

Historically, it was the Tang Dynasty's careless handling of Annan, which caused its northwest to invade Nanzhao, resulting in the fall of Annan, and Nanzhao took this as a springboard to spread the fire of war to the Yongguan and Rongguan areas, and the production and order of Lingnan were greatly damaged, and the world was shaken. Later, Gao Yu led the army to come, defeated Nanzhao, recovered Annan, set up the Jing Navy Festival Envoy, the Tang Dynasty with lingering palpitations, in order to prevent Nanzhao from attacking Yongguan again, and threatened the mainland by the road of Guiguan, he sent Xu Si Wuning army to the south, garrisoned Guilin (this also shows that the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in Lingnan was mourned, unable to mobilize the Turkish army), and promised all kinds of promises, as a result, in the ninth year of Xiantong (869), a Wuning army that guarded Guilin for six years was never able to return to his hometown, after receiving a letter from his family, knowing that the Tang Dynasty "lack of military funds, It is difficult to send troops, and stay in the old army for a year", angrily killed the capital, and then returned to his hometown alone, and pushed the grain judge Pang Xun as the leader, until Jianghuai turned against the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty exhausted the last bit of strength to extinguish it. Then five years later, the prefix of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao appeared on the stage of history......

Tang died in Huangchao, and the disaster was based on Guilin.

So what is the basis of Guilin's disaster? Apparently Annan.

So no matter what reason it is, this repetition of Annan is definitely within Gao Yue's military plan.

Just after the extermination of the Xiyuan Yellow Cave Barbarian.

At this time, in the mountains and valleys on the west side of Rongguan City, the earth-shattering drum was beaten - the bronze drum was a symbol of the power and prestige of the slang clan, and soon the Huangdongman in Yulin Prefecture, a total of forty or fifty thousand strong men, after hearing the drum, knew that it was the marshal who summoned their elders to discuss the problem of how to fight this war.

In front of the high gate of the camp, Huang Shaoqing, the slang handsome of the Huangdong in the West Plains, stood in front of the group of Du Lao, and said: I heard that the reinforcements of the Tang family have arrived.

However, at this time, most of the Huang Dongman believed that the Tang family's reinforcements came from Hunan.

Because Gao Yue had previously written to Li Xun, the Hunan observer, not only asked him to strengthen the city defenses in Shao, Yong, and Daozhou, but also asked him to instruct the assassins in the three states to recruit strong and brave unity and create momentum, which was not only to protect the gateway of Lingnan West Road to the interior, but also to confuse Huang Shaoqing and create conditions for his main force to land from Qinzhou.

The reply of most of the kings and elders was:

"With King Rong Cheng in Guiguan, you can rest easy."

Rong Cheng Wang is Huang Shaoqing's brother Huang Shaodu.

Huang Shaoqing got up and appointed himself as the generalissimo of Nantian and the king of Zhongyue, and his brother Huang Shaogong was appointed as the deputy marshal and the king of Zhennan, and his son Huang Changchu was the king of Guinan, and there were also the kings of Vietnam, the kings of the South China Sea, the kings of Tuonan, etc., and so on, and there were hundreds of sizes.

Only Huang Changchu was worried, saying that if the Tang army landed on the sea in Qinzhou and then crossed Hengshan in the north of Qinzhou, it would be possible to cut off Yong and Binzhou, and we would be attacked by the enemy on our backs, and it would be difficult for us to retreat to the Western Plains.
