18. Nanzhao offers angelica
In front of the palace fort of Sanssouci City, Soma's face was full of hatred and despair, and he had been kneeling here for three days and three nights, the purpose of which was to pray that Nandao Da Lun Mang Re would send ten thousand, or five thousand, or even three thousand, according to Zampu's order, to rescue Taidengcheng.
There are a large number of horses raised on the Songzhou grassland here, and as long as the reckless hot spots are discussed, the soldiers can only reach Saigon River in five days on horseback.
But on Mangre has always said: "Within the jurisdiction of this treatise, the city defense envoys of Saigon, Shugong, and Lacheng all went to save Taidengcheng, and as a result, Dongchai and Sita Yang Zhu were all killed in battle, the army was also destroyed, and the reinforcements on the Qinghai side were also ambushed and defeated—Sanssouci City was besieged by the army of Wei Gao of the Tang family, where is there room to save the beggars?" ”
"Those who came to Victoria were just Wei Gao's virtual soldiers."
"Who knows?" On recklessness, he was greatly dissatisfied.
So he let Soma kowtow and plead, so that his forehead was bleeding and his face was covered with blood, and he was completely unmoved by the recklessness.
In the end, he said directly to Soma: "Taideng City can't be saved, go and recover the corpse that is hiding and hiding!" ”
Soma got up on his horse, then turned back and pointed to the palace fort on recklessness and scolded: "I said earlier that recklessness would kill the young master, but unfortunately the master did not listen to my advice, he lost his mind, and chose to associate with a famous beast king like Reckless, and finally buried the young master, and also buried the glory of the Na Xi clan - I curse you on recklessness, may the Yaksha break into your house and take the lives of all your relatives and servants, so that you too will suffer like the master!" Gritting his teeth, he took out his bow and fired three arrows at the lintel of the castle, and the arrows were all hit, and then he rode away.
In the high valley fifty miles west of Saigon River, 10,000 forbidden troops under the command of Prince Mu Ru were stationed here, and they were far away in the face of the war and the siege of Taideng City.
Shang Jiezan's second son, Wu Ren, mobilized three thousand private slaves in his own fiefdom to come here, and then put on armor, rode a war horse, circled the camp of Prince Mu Ru three times, and shouted: "I am my father's son, and so are you, please be considerate and considerate of my father's pain of losing his son!" ”
But Prince Mu Ru remained silent.
Before he set out on the expedition, his mother, Queen Cai Bang, said to him, "Let all the young men of the Nang clan die!" A rebellious horse that is free from the reins will stumble on the road. ”
Seeing that Mu Ru was so hard-hearted, Wu Ren could only bury his hatred in his heart, risking his life to lead the armed private slaves in the direction of Saigon River.
With one in ten thousand hopes, he also wanted to save his eldest brother.
Between the valley terraces and the wilderness, there are dead bodies lying everywhere, which have long been rotting in the summer sun, and flies are flying all over the sky, all of which are left behind by the killing of reinforcements from Saigon and Lacheng, and the armor, shields and horses have all been stripped and taken away by the Tang or Eastern barbarians, leaving only the naked corpses, no one to bury, which is extremely miserable.
As a result, on the way, Wu Ren's private slaves fled in fright, and everyone knew that Taideng City must have turned into hell.
No one wants to go to hell while they are alive.
Before reaching Saigon River, Wu Ren saw stacks of corpses, most of whose heads had been cut off and stuffed on the opposite river beach, where many Tibetan women were sitting and weeping.
As for the city of Taideng, there was smoke everywhere, and it was evident that it had fallen.
The corpses by the river should have fled westward, but they were caught up by Tang and Nanzhao and killed all.
Outside the city of Taideng, in Gao Yue's camp tent, Tang soldiers tied up a wounded and fallen Xifan general and sent it to Gao Yue.
"You are Da Xi Xiaojun......" Gao Yue recognized this, the number one fierce general under Li Huaiguang, and later because of his dissatisfaction with the Tang family, he coerced the dynasty to surrender to Tibet, and became Shang Jiezan's subordinate, and later transferred to his eldest son's camp of begging for hiding and covering - in the previous battle of Taideng City, he fought with his back against the city wall, and after running out of energy, he was ready to flee on horseback, but fell into the trench and was captured.
"When we met in Jingzhou City in the past, Qi Hou was just a blue-shirted eye, and I didn't want to be the Minister Fang Yue today." Da Xi Xiaojun replied.
Gao Yue was silent, and then said to Da Xi Xiaojun in a deep voice, since you have committed the great crime of betraying the country and betraying the enemy, you must accept the capital punishment, and your head will be sent to Jingshi.
"Dead is dead." Da Xi Xiaojun didn't care, and then he felt that it was a death anyway, so he simply said to Gao Yue, "My Changwu army was originally a member of the Shuofang army, and the emperor of the Tang family Suzong relied on the support of the Shuofang army to prosper, so he first let the Shuofang army squeeze out the camp in the northwest of Anxi, and seize the northwest states led by Ma Xuan, leaving only Jingyuan, and Ma Xuan later destroyed his homestead; Then, he attacked the Shuofang army, dismantled it into several departments of Lingwu, Zhenwu, Changwu, Hedong, and Hezhong, and forced Li Huaiguang to rebel; Now you Dingwu Army and Wei Gao's Fengyi Army are the only ones in the world with unlimited merit, but Qi Hou, don't forget what happened to the Anxi Tingxing Camp and the Shuofang Army, so as not to step into the footsteps, since ancient times, it is a holy grace! ”
Hearing this, Gao Yue sighed, and then poured a cup of wine on the desk, and asked Wei Daotian to hand it to Xi Xiaojun, "General Da Xi, Yue also believes that you once wanted to be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty but could not suffer, but if you are wrong, you are wrong, and if you lose, you will be defeated. I can only say, thank you for the reminder, Yue will do it for himself. ”
"Qi Hou is really a big frank person, and he has accepted it!" Da Xi Xiaojun drank the wine to his heart's content, then glanced at Gao Yue, and walked out of the camp without looking back.
Soon, "Civilization! Gao Yue and Wei Gao came to the tent set up between the Tang and Nanzhao armies, and when Gao Yue saw Zheng Qi, he suddenly felt that the big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Yi Song...... Chengwu ...... "Zheng Qi tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, but when he held the hands of the two, he still couldn't hold back his feelings, and tears were rolling.
"This envoy to Nanzhao can be said to be the first great contribution of Yunnan to the Tang Dynasty and the destruction of Western Tibet!"
Then introduced by Zheng Qi, Gao Yue and Wei Gao came out of the tent, and faced Yi Mu Xun with a general of Nanzhao, and the group of negative troops to meet, Gao Yue, Wei Gao to meet the princely gift, and then Yi Mu Xun immediately let Zheng Qi set up the position of the Son of Heaven, bow down to it, and then handed over his token to Gao and Wei's hands.
After opening the box, there is a piece of cotton inside, which means that Nanzhao is soft and does not dare to give birth to stalks;
There is also angelica, which means that Nanzhao is sincere;
There is also cinnabar, which means that Nanzhao is naked to Tang;
There is another piece of gold, which means the words of the Southern Zhao, which is stronger than gold.
"Please ask the two marshals to dedicate these tokens to the emperor of the court, and the southerners will never rebel!" Yi Mu Xun burst into tears and choked up and pleaded.
"Nanzhao is like this, how can there be no reason not to believe, and then we are willing to lead the army to assist, continue to sweep the Xifan and Sanzhao ronin strongholds here, and then Huichuan, Shenchuan, Jianchuan will return to Nanzhao, Kunming, Nuoji, Taideng, Sanfu, Suqi will return to Tang, the two sides will draw the west and Shanghai water as the boundary, each build a big city, a post house, a field, communicate with each other, watch and help each other, and fight Xibo together, isn't it beautiful?"
"That's a great thing!" Yimu Xun was overjoyed.
