Then the envoys of the Eastern Barbarians walked forward on their knees and asked Wei Gao, saying that this horse was immediately with you, and it was not Gao Yue, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan West Road.

Wei Gao said with a smile and said that it was exactly.

This group of Eastern Barbarians looked at Gao Yue, full of admiration and awe, and then bowed down to him together, saying that Huating was a great victory, and Gao Lang's reputation had already spread to my barbarians, and the Eastern Barbarian families in the prefecture and county were painted with the portraits of Wei Lang and Gao Lang on the door panels, in order to seek protection. The people of the Western Tibetan hated you two so much that they came to us and asked us why we painted the portraits of Wei Lang and Gao Lang, and we lied to them that Wei Lang was the Yaksha in the Buddhist scriptures and Gao Lang was the Mora in the Buddhist scriptures, and that we painted their portraits in order to frighten other weak ghosts.

Gao Yue laughed, and then he was not polite, so he asked the envoy of Dongban: "Now that you are waiting for the tributary road to be restored, you can't rebel to the side of Xifan again, otherwise the law of the Tang family is like iron, and it will definitely not be spared." ”

"We will swear poisonously, Gao Lang and Wei Lang are here, and they will never have two hearts."

"You wait for the Eastern Barbarians, what are the troops of each department?" Gao Yue was most concerned about this.

The envoy of the Eastern Barbarians said that there were as many as 20,000 soldiers and horses in the three major divisions.

"In the past, you were the forerunner of Xifan, repeatedly invaded Ya and Qiong, and threatened Shudu, can you be convicted?"

The Eastern Barbarian envoy hurriedly apologized, saying that he would never dare in the future, hoping to be appeased by Wei Lang and Gao Lang, and then he would definitely be the Tang family's city side, never rebel again, and promised Wei Gao and Gao Yue - as soon as the Tang army crossed the Qionglai Pass, we would send grain, cattle and horses to ensure the supply of the army.

"Okay, if this battle is won, Ben Yin will invite the Son of Heaven to call a big feast in the Lin De Hall in Chang'an, and invite you to wait for the big ghost master." Gao Yue said angrily.

As soon as the envoys heard this, they were all excited and joyful to the point that they couldn't help themselves, for them who lived in the remote area of the southwest, they could go to Chang'an City, the international metropolis at that time, and they could also get the cordial reception and reward of the Son of Heaven, and see what the magnificent Daming Palace looked like, which was an unborn dream and honor!

In contrast, although the Zampu of Naxibo has repeatedly invited their big ghost lord to go to the Luoqi City in the snowy region to have a look, and by the way to strengthen the relationship between the lower vassals, but the Eastern Barbarians are reluctant, where there is no snow mountain is a deep valley, except for yaks and calves, where can it compare to Chang'an City?

After negotiating with Gao Yue, this group of envoys from the Eastern Barbarians, on the outside of the colorful tree clothes, covered with cowhide and sheepskin, stepped on the Jiuzhuban Mountain, competing to lead the way for the Tang Army!

The twists and turns of the nine-fold ban, the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers and horses, pulled into a long line of repeated surrounding, straight to the top of the clouds, Gao Yue's servant Wei Daotian in pain and painfully opened his nostrils, shrunk into a ball, his body was covered in the fur, pulling the reins of the master's mount, Gao Yue on it looked back - the entire Yazhou path, mountains and forests and scattered post houses, as shrunk as if into the bottom of the well, the horse's hooves slipped on the ice and snow roads accumulated from time to time, arousing the surrounding tooth soldiers, wings of exclamations, soldiers are also in the snow and mist full of mountains and valleys, cautiously bowing their bodies, Roll the armor into a roll, insert a long skewer, carry it behind you, and line it up in a straight formation, closely following behind the head bumper. As for rice, crossbows and other things, they are hung on the backs of pack horses and calves - this time the calves vigorously bred in the Fengxiang, Xingyuan, and Jingyuan areas played a huge role, this kind of cattle are hardy and hardy, their hair is white in the wind and snow, and their eyelashes are frozen, but they still carry heavy loads meekly and stoically, and walk slowly and firmly on the winding mountain road, without squeamishness or resentment.

But the calf had no emotion, and Ming Huaiyi, who was riding a horse and accompanied Gao Yue, was emotional, "Daddy, you deceived me so hard before, you said that you were a member of the sixth or seventh grade, and you named me a member of the ninth grade, and then I realized that the official rank of the Tang family is the principle that the smaller the number of grades, the larger the truth - you look at Wei Gao, what kind of chiefs are given to this group of Deng, what is Lin, and the direct title is the prince of the county, and I am ...... now."

"That's right, now I'm your father, and you're my fake son, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"The Tang family stipulates, how can there be a reason why a fake son is higher than a father's official rank? At that time, I was just a servant of the imperial history, you make a county king, you still don't talk about human ethics? ”

Ming Huaiyi was silent.

Gao Yue continued to ask him, do you want to be the king of the county, or is it quite a fake son of a father?

"Of course I want to be Daddy's fake son, and in the future, I will also be on the portrait of Lin Pavilion, which is much better than being a so-and-so county king in this valley." Ming Huaiyi is not stupid.

After nightfall, the whole army climbed the Yangmu Pavilion standing on the top of the mountain one by one, this building has long been deserted, Wei Gao, Gao Yue and the generals and wingmen of the military government sat in the pavilion, lit a fire to warm up, and the soldiers outside were squatting in the snow, cooking hard.

"Yisong, after the triumph, I will be a guest in Shudu City, and I will take you to see the big Buddha statue in Leshan." Wei Gao stretched out his hands, and the yellow flames were close at hand, making him feel hot and comfortable.

"I have to go back to Xingyuan first, the matter here is over, and the matter of Dangqiang is imminent again." Gao Yue replied tremblingly, and then took the roasted mutton that Wei Daotian handed over.

"This time, it is half of the success to be able to successfully win over Dongman, especially Bedeng Man has always been Nanzhao's in-laws, and it will communicate with Yunnan in the future."

"But Xifan will never give up here easily." Gao Yue hit the nail on the head.

Wei Gao smiled, "So I think there will be a big battle to fight next time south of Qionglai Mountain." ”

Hearing this, Gao Yue nodded.

Then the two of them laughed tacitly, meaning that the war is still my cooperation with you, and there is no opponent in this world who is afraid.

"Hey, hey, why is your Xingyuan's wine so strong?" When Wei Gao drank the wine sent by Gao Yue, he couldn't help but shout.

"It's so strong, it's good to keep warm." Gao Yue replied.

In the past two or three years, Xingyuan Mansion has five winds and ten rains, and the old grain accumulated in the warehouse has a lot of surplus after distributing soldiers' rations and coping with the imperial court's doudou rice.

Sure enough, after Wei Gao drank a few sips of Xingyuan's "Zhongliang Yao", he felt that the blood and qi around his body were surging, and in this snowy mountain, it was simply too useful, so he distributed this strong liquor to everyone in the pavilion and the soldiers who were guarding outside.

Immediately, Wei Gao summoned the envoys of the Eastern Barbarians, saying that the three of you have a full meal, I will give you wine, and then go down to Qionglai Mountain in advance, to Liwu City, Lizhou, and tell your tribe: Gao Jieshuai and I want to make a blood alliance with the three big ghost lords and establish brotherhood, and then you and the three departments will help our army cross the Dadu River!

Three days later, on the high ground of the east mountain of the entire Liwu City, tens of thousands of men and women from the three major Eastern Barbarian tribes of Bedeng, Lianglin, and Fengpa, all dressed in black clothes, surrounded the big ghost lords and small ghost lords like an angry tide, and then sang and danced and cheered to welcome the arrival of the Tang army.

Under a big tree in the highlands, Wei Gao and Gao Yue sacrificed to the young prison, and then warmly hugged each other with the three big ghost masters, and bloodied each other, and the three big ghost masters burst into tears, "Dongban will never rebel against Tang!" ”
