Chapter 179: The Southern Expedition is Difficult to Understand

Yao Yuanchong didn't come, but an unexpected person came, Liang Jishou.

Li Wei asked him in surprise: "Manager Liang, why haven't you left the capital yet?" ”

"So it's so good to leave?" Liang Jishou took a cup of tea before speaking slowly. The people of the Tang Dynasty did not know much about the situation of Nanzhao, indeed, Jimo went to Nanzhao twice, and when he came back, when he talked to Li Wei, it was not clear.

"Speaking of this rebellion, we have to start with Nanzhao and Mengshe. Speaking of Mengshe's edict, we have to start with Bai Ziguo, also known as Jianning Kingdom, "Liang Jishou came to ask for advice, knowing himself and knowing the enemy, in order to win a hundred battles, Dafeichuan has already lost very badly, and if he loses again, even Li Zhi is embarrassed to meet the envoys of the Quartet."

Jianning Kingdom is located in Baiya (Hongyan, Midu County), the king's name is Zhang Lejinqiu, there are three daughters, the eldest and the second are married, the third is called Jin Gu, because of beauty, also called Bai Yajiao. is beautiful, and he is young, so he is a little pampered. Zhang Lejin begged to go to Xizhou to worship his ancestors, and after sacrificing his ancestors, these barbarians in the south began to sing and dance. Zhang Lejinqiu thought that he had lost his dignity and reprimanded her, but the little girl was not very obedient and still went her own way, Zhang Lejinqiu was angry and drove her out of the house.

"Kick the princess out of the house?" Shangguan Wan'er asked incredulously.

"Those small countries, in other words, are more like a country, but they are a slightly larger family, which cannot be compared with our Tang Dynasty system, listen to General Liang."

"Yes."

Liang Jishou went down again. Father didn't care, Princess Jianning was very happy, and took a few maidservants to play in the mountains and rivers. But after a long time, I became homesick. Zhang Lejin was about to summon her back at the beginning, but when he heard her actions, he became angry again. So the father and daughter competed. Princess Jianning walked farther and farther away from home, and one night, sleeping under a tree on the hillside, a poisonous snake climbed down from the tree, ready to bite Princess Jianning. It happened that a young man named Shinuluo came back from hunting and saw an arrow that shot the snake to death. Then I saw that the princess was beautiful and proposed. After a lot of effort, Princess Jianning saw that Xinuluo looked good, had a good heart, and was the leader of a small tribe, so she didn't report to her father, so she agreed to come down privately. Later, Zhang Lejin begged to know about it, and he had to agree to cook raw rice for mature rice.

With the support of the Jianning State, Xinuluo led the tribe to live and work in peace and contentment at the foot of the mountain, and the tribe began to grow and develop, so the Mengshe Zhao was established. Of course, at this time, Mengshe Zhao was only a small tribe, and there were Mengxi Zhao (northern Weishan, most of Yangbi), Yue Xi Zhao (most of Binchuan), Deng Zhizhao (Eryuan Dengchuan), Shi Langzhao (Eryuan Sanying), Langqiong Zhao (Eryuan Xibi Lake), Shihe Zhao (Fengyi, Haidong, Digging Color), Shiqiao Zhao (Xiaguan Tiansheng Bridge, both sides of the Xi'er River) and other tribes, there are hundreds of tribes of all sizes in Cangshan and Erhai alone. Don't say that the Tang Dynasty is not very clear, that is, the locals may not be able to understand.

However, Xinuluo is a very knowledgeable person, realizing that he is insufficient, he first appointed the military generals Guo Junyi, Wenchen Boluo, and Yang Boyuan, Xiuwen and martial arts. Nineteen years ago, he sent an envoy to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. At first, the Tang Dynasty was not clear, thinking that it could actually send an envoy to Chang'an, it must be a great big tribe, and it was planned to seal the history of Weizhou as the assassin of Weizhou. Then he asked the envoys to learn about the politics, economy, and culture of the Tang Dynasty, and brought these back to the Mengshe Edict. These advanced civilizations immediately made Mengshezhao grow stronger, and soon became a rich land with abundant products and a large population. Began to set the capital in the Yuanyu Tu Mountain, of course, the capital of this god horse, can not be more serious, it is estimated that it is not as big as a grass market in the Tang Dynasty.

As Mengshezhao grew stronger, some tribes became red-eyed. There was a powerful tribe in the north, called Meng Zhao, who was once beaten badly by Meng Zhao. But at this time, the benefits of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty were seen, and there was no way to survive the fight, so he sent his sons Luo Shengyan and Zhang Jiancheng to the Tang Dynasty. In the end, Li Yi, the governor of Yaozhou, came to the rescue and defeated Meng Shezhao, which relieved Meng Shezhao.

There is so much to say, but it is very relevant. The Tang Dynasty used troops against foreign countries, mostly against Yi against Yi, against Hu against Hu, and not all the Southern Zhao barbarians besieging Yaozhou, some tribes were disgusted with the Tang Dynasty, and some tribes still had a good impression of the Tang Dynasty.

If you want to fight raze against raze, you must win over some wingmen, and this Mengshe edict may be an important chess piece in Liang Jishou's hands.

Li Wei continued to listen quietly.

Liang Jishou also said that the defeat of Dafeichuan the year before last was not only Tubo, but also Tuyuhun's army. This point is now known to the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tuyuhun army that rebelled against the Tang Dynasty not only led to the defeat of Xue Rengui, but may also be the main army among them. That is, the wolves besieged and defeated the Tang Dynasty army alive.

Li Wei did not agree, not only that, but also the command ability of the military god Qinling.

The Tang Dynasty helped Meng Shezhao, and Meng Xian Zhao hated the Tang Dynasty and secretly took refuge in Tibet.

Seeing the great defeat of the Tang Dynasty, from last year, the lord of the Mengxi edict, Meng Jian, the leader and the She, together with the big and small Bolang, and some other tribes, with the support of the Tubo people, began to besiege Yaozhou. At its peak, the company camped for 30 miles, known as the 200,000 horse infantry army.

"Two hundred thousand?" Li Wei asked in surprise.

If it's 230,000, it's easy to deal with, but it's 200,000......

However, Li Zhi has survived the drought and is not a good person to admit defeat. So he made Liang Jishou the head of the march in Yaozhou, sent soldiers from 18 states such as Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Long, and allowed Liang Jishou to recruit troops in Yaoshan and other states. Deal with the rebels. The enemy is still powerful, but the other ministries of Nanzhao, including Meng Shezhao, as well as Xinuluo's father-in-law Zhang Lejinqiu, Yang Nongdong, Zhang Yimudong, Duan Yudong, Zhao Lanyu, Shi Dongwang, Li Shiding, Wang Qing Ximo and other ministries sent envoys to secretly express to the imperial court that they would recruit traitors for the imperial court. Of course, because Mengshezhao was the largest tribe among them, and it was the root cause of the Mengshezhao rebellion, Liang Jishou focused on Xinuluo.

Because of the need to send soldiers from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Long and other states, Liang Jishou did not leave Chang'an for a while. Just like Jiang Ke, although he was the governor of Liangzhou Road, he stayed in Chang'an for a long time because of the army, and even the imperial court sealed the left prime minister and served as the prime minister for a period of time before setting off.

As he was talking, Yao Yuanchong and Ximen Chong walked in.

Li Wei asked, "General Liang, ...... talking to Gu about this?" ”

Since he even understands the situation of Meng Shezhao so clearly, this time Liang Jishou is also prepared, unlike Xue Rengui's time, who blindly came to Luo Dao, and actually wanted to attack other people's Luo Some cities. Although Nanzhao is a little troublesome, it should not be a big problem.

Liang Jishou said with a cautious face: "This battle is not allowed to be defeated." ”

This is a fact, but Li Weiyi was puzzled, and Liang Jishou said again: "I heard that the prince is virtuous, and the minister came to ask for advice." ”

"Lonely...... I don't understand it. Li Wei couldn't laugh or cry. I know almost nothing about military affairs. Because Liu Renliang touted a few words, Jiang Ke went forward and "asked for advice" from himself, and Liang Jishou moved forward and "asked for advice" from himself.

"Prince, don't be humble, this battle is for the Tang Dynasty and for the two saints."

It means that I went to fight for your Li family, and you can't hide it.

It's not so important, the battle of Dafeichuan, Li Wei's some discussions, very "far-sighted", the imperial court secretly adopted most of the suggestions, this point, Liang Jishou knows. Besides, from sorghum to bamboo paper and new ploughs, Li Wei didn't know that in the folk, it was covered with a mysterious aura. Now people are superstitious that if an emperor has made a difference, he will always be full of light and auspicious clouds. Don't say that Confucianism doesn't believe in God, Confucianism also believes in God, and it is God who believes in it. It's just a little lighter on Buddhism. Besides, Liang Jishou is just a martial artist.

Even if the prince doesn't have a good plan, it's good to be able to come up with some ideas and fill in the gaps. This is also caused by Xue Rengui's defeat and the relatives in the hearts of the generals. Otherwise, it turned out to be invincible, why be so cautious? And the crown prince is getting older and has a good reputation, and it is sincere to ask for advice, but at the same time, it is also to win over some relationships. After all, although he was the deputy head of the prince's left guard, he had very few contacts before. Several reasons, therefore, come to ask for advice.

Li Wei had no choice but to take out the map, and on the map, the so-called rebel ministries and the ministries supporting the Tang Dynasty were mainly centered on Erhai Lake, Kunlun Town, and Yongchang. There are also a small number of tribes in Queensland and Jinsha that belong to the Tibetan Bondage, as well as tribes further south. But most of them belonged to the tribes of the Tang Dynasty, so the Xinuluo said that they were traitors. Here, the Tang Dynasty has set up a state capital of bondage, don't take this state capital seriously, there may be tens of thousands of people in a state, that is big, and there are only a few hundred people in the small ones.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty had to send troops.

It's just that Li Wei looked at the map, there were the names of the states, the mountains and rivers, and that's it, but he didn't know how to use the march to set up the formation. So I had to think about it, starting with Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu, but now I have read more history books, and I also know that the seven captures and seven releases are also fake. In just a few months, the folk saying that Zhuge Liang has hit Northern Burma, how can it be in time? But in "The Former Teacher's Table", I said that I personally spent the barren land, and I fought it, but it would not be seven captures and seven releases, so I couldn't think of any clues.

Then think about history, although Nanzhao was pitiful in history, it was sandwiched between the two empires of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and it was angry at both ends. It's not as honest as Dali, this is not a docile lord, after the end of the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, he attacked the Tang Dynasty many times, and took away millions of people, or hundreds of thousands of people, from Sichuan and other places, this is not very clear, and he was taken back to Nanzhao as slaves, and these people were better than dead after arriving in Nanzhao. Specifically, I can't remember.

Thinking of this, he said: "Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top." ”

"What a solution."

"It's just a fetter, sometimes rebelling, sometimes falling, why did it rebel, or some bad officials in the fish and meat township, the local bureaucrats are not satisfied. Therefore, most of the time, the imperial court let them govern themselves. War is secondary, and appeasement is the main tone. If most of the tribes are willing to assist our Datang, the rebels will be defeated without a fight. ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult, and there is Tibet."

Erhai is very close to the territory under the jurisdiction of Tubo, in fact, the 200,000 horses of Nanzhao are still floating clouds in the eyes of Liang Jishou, and he is worried that Tubo will send troops.

Li Wei shook his head and said: "Tubo may send troops to Nanzhao, and it is also a good way to deal with the various departments of Nanzhao." But in the battle with our Tang Dynasty army in Erhai, they may not have the guts. First, the weather in Yaozhou began to be hot and humid, and the Tubo people did not adapt to it. Even if you go down to the plateau, as long as you lead to the hot and humid zone, Tibet may not have an advantage. Second, Tubo paid more attention to practical benefits, and it was very difficult to conquer the various departments of Nanzhao. If Nanzhao alone is acceptable, there will be our Datang, unless our Datang really falls. It is conquered, and the actual profit is very little, and the gain outweighs the loss. ”

After saying that, he was thinking about another thing, Tubo only won one big game, if he won two or three games, he might not not do anything to Nanzhao. Now, probably not, I'm afraid that even on Qinling himself called a fluke.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance," Liang Jishou said happily. He didn't think about it at all, as long as Tubo did not send troops, this battle was already a victory. Seeing Yao Yuanchong and the others again, knowing that the prince had something to do, and was about to leave, Li Wei said again: "General Liang will definitely succeed when he goes out." But remember, don't be greedy for merit, after victory, the credit will be divided among the departments, and you can't let one clan dominate. ”

Just one sentence, if it is not my race, its heart will be different and it will not be spoken.

"Whoa!" Liang Jishou answered and left, and I don't know if he listened.

Only then did Li Wei turn to Yao Yuanchong and Ximen Chong and hand them the newspaper on the table.

After the two looked at it, their brows tightened. In fact, it is very unreasonable for the emperor to show this palace to the prince. As soon as Xu Jingzong died, it was Xu Yanbo, and the prince may not take it to heart. Just like the Nanzhao ministries, the root is still Tibet. Without the support of Tubo, no matter how bold Mengjian is, he dares to make chaos in the mountains and forests, but he can besiege the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion, but he does not have the courage. In fact, the imperial court is not very interested in the south, otherwise the scope of jurisdiction would have been pushed to the two ministries of Wangmang.

As Li Wei said, if you can't get real profits, is it possible to let the people of the two departments use small carts to push grain to Chang'an as a tribute? Therefore, the imperial court was not interested, and the area was pushed to the area of Erhai Lake, and the pace of expansion was stopped.

As long as Tubo is beaten to the point of bleeding, all the departments of Nanzhao Guanfeng will immediately shrink, and they will be stable. Therefore, Jimo's words are a reason, and Liang Jishou's words are a reason.

Xu Jingzong is the same, as soon as he dies, Xu Yanbo must not be afraid, and the prince is not a ruthless person. Besides, Xu Yanbo is dead, but his two-year-old son and a wife, the emperor wants their mother and son to come back, let them come back, if he doesn't want them back, he won't let them come back, and the prince won't care.

Why did the emperor show the prince, was it to ask the prince's opinion?

Ximen Chong said hesitantly: "Could it be that the emperor wants them to come back, and is afraid that His Highness will not let them go, so he deliberately took this palace report to His Highness?" ”

Li Wei did not answer.

This is interesting, is Lao Tzu so jealous of himself? It seems that he hasn't done anything since last fall, and the relationship with his parents has been very relaxed for a while. Of course, even when Liang Jishou went on the expedition, he came to visit, he grew up, his reputation was good, and he was afraid that he would have it. I won't be afraid of that. Besides, my father did this because Xu Jingzong was dead, and although he was rebellious, he still remembered some old feelings. Give the Xu family a way to live. But it's just an orphan, why so?

Yao Yuanchong was also puzzled, and said slowly: "And Your Majesty is very unreasonable to let His Royal Highness return to Xijing to supervise the country. ”

After this sentence was finished, the faces of the three of them became solemn. Bo Si is Helan Minzhi, Xu Jingzong, can be broken, if it is replaced by the emperor, now the power of the prince is too thin.
