The southern foot of Papaya Ridge is a direct access to the Cheng.

On several scattered mountain roads, Xifan's cavalry rode at a very fast speed to the various fortresses that had been built in advance by Ma Dingde and surrounded the Dengtai City, and the entire mountain range until the city and the camp were crowded and boiling figures and voices, and there were terrified shouts everywhere, "Gao Lang has come, Wei Lang has arrived again, kill me and so on!" ”

The army of Western Fan, Jiannan is considered to be slightly inferior in combat effectiveness, and the first-class elite is either concentrated in the Dongdai of Zampu's Praetorian Guard, or in the North and East Roads - you must know that in the Battle of Huating, even if the Western Fan army in the east is completely defeated, most of the Fan soldiers in the desperate situation can still pick up arms and fight to the end in the face of the pursuit of the Tang army - but the situation in Nandao is really indescribable, especially the Western Tibetan colonists between Huichuan and Shanzhou, and now it seems that they are no longer fighting for Zampu in some cities on the plateau, They fought for their own fields and pastures, so they were more interested in preserving the castle than holding on to the papaya ridge full of stone wasteland.

In general, such a tragic scene can be traced back, and it has to belong to the time when Yan Wu was the envoy of the Jiannan Festival and broke the South Xifan Road.

At the northern foothills, the Dingwu Army and the Fengyi Army began to climb the mountain rock after the defeat of the reckless left and right flanks, and bravely attacked the men and horses behind the Xifan Palace.

But the papaya ridge is too desolate, even the timber is very scarce, the field camp of Xifan is also built with stones, which is a good phenomenon for the Tang army, the Feishan battalion of the Dingwu army and the thousand artillery battalion of the Fengyi army are completely familiar with the road, picking up the stones that are ready to pick up, the column belly wood of the whirlwind cannon, the stones are like rain, the Xifan soldiers in the camp are beaten to the point of wolves, the guns are all shattered, and the corpses are stacked all over the base.

Then the Tang army jumping team with the long knife with the inscription of Dingqinzhou or Pinglong, in accordance with the instructions of the commander, adopted the tactics of attacking the first base and leaving the first base, first concentrated the troops, and took turns to break through under the cover of the artillery, pull out a barrier, kill all the soldiers in the meantime, and then continue to attack the next - at dusk, several Xifan camps that were surrounded but not beaten, and more than 1,000 Tibetan soldiers inside couldn't help but began to flee, but in the mountain road over the mountain, they were rounded up and killed by the Tang army on standby, and the miserable thing was that there was not even a forest to hide their whereabouts on the Papaya Ridge, Some fell off the cliff and died, some killed themselves, but many were taken prisoner.

The only thing that caused trouble to the Tang army was the high peak of the Papaya Ridge, which the locals called Xiaoxianggongling, which was surrounded by cliffs in the north, south and west, and only a fish-ridge-like road to the east connected the mountains, which were guarded by more than 300 Xifan soldiers, and the semi-permanent style blockade was built with stones, which was originally used to provide "eyes" for the reckless and reckless array of battles, but now it is resolutely defended.

Wei Gao and Gao Yue personally rode horses, surrounded by all the generals, and watched the barrier of Xiaoxianggongling, and then said that when they gathered troops to attack in the coming day, they should not pull out this nail and shock the enemy.

At this time, the Dingwu army knew that Gao Gu had come to report: On the battlefield of Papaya Ridge, we had an unexpected victory.

That was the 2,000 township soldiers led by Duan Jinyi, the official of Nanzhao Qingping.

This group of soldiers was originally placed in the mountains on the left flank by Lun Mangre, and he didn't have much hope for them, and sure enough, the battle began to the end of the battle, and the two thousand township soldiers first stood by and watched, and then took advantage of the defeat of Xifan to plunder the baggage and livestock of friendly troops everywhere, but in a blink of an eye, they found that the road down the mountain was blocked by the withdrawn Fan soldiers, and everyone stayed on the top of the mountain, neither advancing nor retreating, and Beigu did not dare to go, so everyone angrily scolded Fan Xifan for being ruthless and untrustworthy, when the soldiers of the Tang army climbed to a hundred feet away from them, Duan Jinyi resolutely took all his subordinates and surrendered.

Duan was still a little scared at first, so he first found the Eastern Barbarian Righteous Servants in the Tang Army, and then asked the Great Ghost Lord Tho Song of Bedeng as the intermediary to see Wei Gao and Gao Yue.

Later, Duan also wanted to open it, anyway, when he came out this time, he also shouldered the mission of finding a different Mou Xun: to find the Tang Army's jiedu envoys and contact them, no, it can be said that "it takes no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it".

In the tent, Wei Gao and Gao Yue really warmly received Duan Jinyi, and also prepared wine and meat for this shock.

During the conversation, Wei Gao was the pacification envoy of Yunnan Jingluo, and immediately patted his chest and assured Duan Jinyi: "You are ruling for Nanzhao, which represents the true thoughts of the king of Yunnan, and you can surrender to my Tang family at the critical moment of the battle, how can I not believe this brave loyalty with Gao Jieshuai?" In this way, Gao immediately wrote a letter, detoured to Qiongbu, went to Shimen Road, and then forwarded it to Yimu Xun. ”

Wei Gao was a man of words, splashed ink on the spot, and wrote a letter.

Duan Jinyi understands Chinese characters, and only reads Wei Gao's promise in the letter that as long as Yi Mu Xun can turn his back on Xifan and fall to my Tang family, I, Tang Tianzi, am willing to re-canonize him as the hereditary king of Yunnan, and the two will form an alliance to erect a monument, be friendly forever, and exchange trade; In addition, if Yunnan is invaded by Xibo, the two generous towns of Dongchuan and Xichuan of the Tang family will definitely send troops to help, and it is incumbent on them to do so; Once the alliance is formed, the two families are bounded by Huichuan on Qingxi Road and Mahu on Shimen Road, and the Dongchuan soldiers besieging Mahu Town this time will immediately write a letter to them all and withdraw them, and they will never change after that.

Wei Gao's implication is that the ownership of Lizhou and Shanzhou is by no means on the negotiating table, and it should be used as the spoils of this expedition and belong to my Tang.

But Duan Jinyi had another thought, or he also represented the mind of Nanzhao, that is, he tried to occupy Tianwei Prefecture after expelling Xifan, so as to rely on the Dadu River and Qingxi Pass to guard against the Tang Empire.

So Duan Jinyi said, "If you don't work for the two Yuan Rong to mobilize the teachers in the city of Dengtai, my Nanzhao King will immediately cross the West Lushui and seize Shanzhou." ”

Hearing this, Wei Gao smiled incomprehensibly.

And Gao Yue came forward and said to Duan Jinyi very sincerely, "That's fine, Xifan is newly defeated, and Yimu Xun has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xilushui, and he can take Sanfu City and Dengtai City." ”

After Duan left, Gao Yue and Wei Gao laughed at the same time.

Gao Yue picked up Wei Gao's letter, and Duan Jinyi also signed it, in order to believe it.

"Duan Jinyi's painting is signed, and the Bohai Yang Xi in my curtain can be completely imitated vividly." Then Gao Yue said with confidence.

"I, Xichuan, can provide a silver letter containing the letter." Then Wei Gao cut the candle flower, "The purpose of our expedition this time has been completely achieved, and the rest will let Nanzhao and Xifan continue to fight here in Shanzhou, and wait until next time we will reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Next time, the next time in Wei Gao's mouth, Gao Yue has actually reached a tacit understanding with him.

That is, Gao Yue took charge alone, controlled the emperor's camp, and exterminated the party in the north.

At that time, Shanzhou will definitely fall into their hands like a ripe apple.

"My Tang Dynasty used to deal with foreign races, always like to support one and suppress the other, but after destroying one of them, I found that the one I supported had become a big trouble, and now I use this Shanzhou to let Nanzhao and Xifan be suspicious of each other, and kill Nanzhao to eliminate the border trouble in the south, and kill Xifan to get rid of the enemy in the west." Gao Yue's thoughts are exactly the same as those of Yi Mu Xun.
