Chapter 514: Trouble is coming
Saying that, Nuosu informed the whole army of the order of King Zhao to surrender, and then asked the whole army to lay down their arms and surrender. But he himself pulled out his sword and shouted: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated and the ministers are dead!" Your Majesty was captured, it is all our sin, what face do I have to live! After speaking, the horizontal sword killed himself.
Wang Xuance nodded and said, "This Nuo Su is a loyal minister. Then he had Nuosu buried and then took the surrendered Nanzhao soldiers out of the valley.
Li Shimin was very happy when he heard that Cheng Zhijie had pacified the Six Edicts and stabilized the situation in Yizhou, and canonized Cheng Zhijie's son Cheng Huai Molu as the county prince, and married the young Princess Qinghe to him as his wife.
At the same time, Li Shimin vigorously rewarded Xue Li, Qin Huaiyu, Gao Kan and others for their meritorious service, and they all received the title of general.
Then Li Shimin changed the Mengwei edict to Yanggua Prefecture, the Yue Xi edict to the Yue Xi Prefecture, the Langqiong edict to the Langqiong Prefecture, the Lang Zhao to the Lang Qiong Prefecture, the Shi Lang Zhao to the Relic Prefecture, and the Mengshe Zhao to the Nanzhao Prefecture, and at the same time arranged for the assassin to govern in front of the history, and unified under the Jiannan Jiedu envoy account.
After pacifying Yizhou, Cheng Zhijie began to conduct large-scale military training, and he distributed the army to the plateau for training, preparing for the attack on Tibet.
According to Cheng Zhijie's plan, the Tang army would enter Tibet from three directions: West Tuguhun, Yizhou and Nanzhao. The road to West Tuguhun is the best, but the enemy is the most, and there will be Hou Junji, Liu Lan, and the general who is stubborn and loses his strength to lead the main army to break through from here.
The second road with Niu Tong as the leading general, Qin Huaiyu, Wu Deng, Wang Xuance, Shang Shan and others as the general set off from Songzhou in Jiannan, although there are many fewer enemies here, but to pass through ten mountains, that is, ten passes, the same is difficult.
The last route was personally led by Cheng Zhijie, leading Xue Li, Gao Kan, Heiya Changzhi, Wang Yizhang and others as assistants from Nanzhao to Tubo. Here you have to cross the grassland, the east and west snowy mountains and other difficult and dangerous obstacles into Tibet.
According to Cheng Zhijie's plan and the situation on his own road, the three-way army investigated news while training troops, and carried out actual combat drills to actively prepare for war.
Before the Tang Dynasty went to war, a large number of spies had entered Tibet, disguised as merchants, monks, and other people to bring back detailed information about the enemy, and sabotage the enemy inside.
After they entered Tibet, they found that it was still a slave system, and the slave owners bullied and even killed the slaves at will, and the slaves here were not even as good as a single animal.
The spies reported the situation to Cheng Zhijie. Lao Cheng asked them to secretly stir up the discontent of the slaves and incite the slaves to riot.
During this period, the slave owners of Tibet obtained a large number of luxury goods from the merchants of the Central Plains. The Han people's things are unstoppable, but one thing is that they are too expensive, so they have to find a way to exploit the slaves.
The higher the tax rate they set, the less they will collect; The nobles found that these slaves were becoming more and more lazy, and were lazy as soon as no one was looking; And they often secretly destroy labor tools to avoid labor.
This discovery made them furious, and then began to oppress the slaves even more unceremoniously; The confrontation between the two sides is becoming increasingly tense, and conflict could erupt at any time.
After two years of training, the Tang army was well prepared, and they were waiting to find a suitable opportunity to enter Tibet in one fell swoop.
But at this time, Li Shimin threw a trouble to Cheng Zhijie again. It turned out that he and Yang Jier's second son, who is also Li Shimin's sixth son, Li Su, is 11 years old this year. This Li Su was a real gentleman, he was impeached for his extravagant hunting and beating officials, and Li Shimin repeatedly taught him, but he did not want to repent.
In the end, Li Shimin angrily reprimanded: "Birds and beasts can be tamed by people after training; Iron and stone are smelted and carved, and can be made into square and round utensils. And people like Li Su are not as good as beasts and stones! ”
Yang Jier was very sad when she heard this, and when she thought of Li Chengqian, who was becoming more and more mature, she couldn't help but secretly shed tears; In the end, she had an idea and begged Li Shimin to let Cheng Zhijie help educate Li Su.
Li Shimin was very interested in Yang Jier's proposal, and he also wanted to see how Cheng Zhijie disciplined his son, who was inferior to a beast.
So Li Shimin crowned Li Su as the king of Shu and the governor of Yizhou, let him go to Yizhou to take office, and worship Jiannan Jiedu to make Cheng Zhijie a teacher and be controlled by it.
At the same time, Li Shimin also gave Cheng Zhijie a secret decree, asking him to discipline Li Su on his behalf, life and death, beating and scolding casually. At the same time, Yang Jier also wrote a letter to Cheng Zhijie, in which he entrusted Cheng Zhijie to educate this son well.
Lao Cheng took the letter, and then looked at Li Su, who didn't care and looked indifferent, and he was a little hesitant, this Li Su was only eleven or twelve years old, just when he was rebellious; It's not suitable for light or heavy.
Li Su looked up at Cheng Zhijie and said, "Are you Cheng Zhijie?" When I saw the king, why didn't I salute? Don't you underestimate this king in your heart, and someone came to tie him up for me. ”
Someone stepped forward to arrest Cheng Zhijie, Lao Cheng's eyes widened, and these frightened Li Su's subordinates were almost gone, and hurriedly retreated.
Cheng Zhijie looked at Li Yu again and smiled, bowed down and said, "Minister Cheng Zhijie see His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Li Su was frightened by the glare he had just made. He said aggressively: "Okay, even if you still know how to be polite, let's get free!" ”
Cheng Zhijie said: "Your Highness Xie! Then he raised his head and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has asked you to worship me as a teacher, do you know?" ”
Li Suman nodded nonchalantly and said, "Yes, that's what my father ordered." Cheng Zhijie nodded and said, "Very good!" The prince of heaven and earth is a human being; Division is also one of them. Li Su hurriedly kowtowed to the teacher! ”
"What? Do you want me to kowtow to you as a teacher? Do you know who I am? I'm the prince! It's a golden branch and a jade leaf! Why do you make me worship you? ”
"Presumptuous! Is this your attitude towards your teachers? Cheng Zhijie took two steps forward suddenly, his eyes shining fiercely. Li Su felt that he was a fish waiting to be slaughtered on the board, he had difficulty breathing, and his eyes were full of panic.
The guards who followed him were about to rush to help, but the samurai rushed up and pressed him to the ground and tied him firmly. Li Su felt that he couldn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he still admitted his mistake first, went back to see his father, and then cleaned him up. So Cheng Zhijie bowed down and said reluctantly: "See the teacher!" ”
Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly and said, "According to my rules, you can only kneel on the ground and bow three times to get started." ”
"What?" Li was stunned, but saw that Cheng Zhijie's hand had been pressed on the hilt of the knife, and his body fell to the ground with a soft body.
Only then did Cheng Zhijie let him go, took out Li Shimin's imperial decree and said: "Following His Majesty's order, Li Su worships me as a teacher, beats and scolds at will, and kills and scrapes at my will." Someone's coming! Strip me of Li Su's robe and crown, and throw it into the barracks to start as a soldier. ”
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until the guards often came to pick up his clothes that he came to his senses, and shouted while struggling: "Cheng Zhijie, you are looking for death!" You're looking for death! I'll go back and report to my father, and let him break your body into ten thousand pieces. ”
Cheng Zhijie smiled and took off the horsewhip on his waist, and whipped it over. With Lao Cheng's kung fu, he mastered the power so well that he suddenly pulled his clothes apart, and a red mark appeared on his flesh, but it would never hurt his muscles and bones.
Li Zhi howled in pain like killing a pig, and Cheng Zhijie came to his side and said viciously: "Li Su! This is not Chang'an, this is Jiannan! If you give me obedient obedience, I can still spare you from dying, if you want to resist? Hehe, Your Majesty has said that it is up to me to kill and survive; Be careful when I kill people. ”
Li Su felt that Cheng Zhijie was murderous and might really kill himself; So I quickly chose to shut up.
Cheng Zhijie nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!" Xue Li, it's under your control before he dies. You have to discipline him as well as you would a normal soldier. I hope that when he marches into Tibet, he will become a qualified soldier. ”
Xue Li pursed his lips slightly, and secretly said that he was unlucky; However, he did not dare to disobey the military order, so he quickly bowed down and agreed; Then she walked up to him and reached out and grabbed him; Took it out.
But after a short time, Xue Li secretly ran back and saluted Cheng Zhijie and asked, "King Jun, do we really treat this prince like this?" Are you not afraid that Your Majesty will blame? ”
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "As long as we train this guy well, there will be no problem." Li Su has been spoiled at home since he was a child, so it's good for him to suffer a little. But you have to be in a good sense of proportion, and don't get bad all at once.
And you and Gao Kan combined, a person with a black face to train him fiercely, stimulate him, and arouse his competitiveness. The other has a white face, does ideological work, and occasionally compliments him. ”
Xue Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, the king of the county, we have a way to deal with those naughty students." This Li Su dared to provoke him in the palace, and in our army, there are ways to make him obedient. ”
Early the next morning, Li Su was still sleeping with his head covered, when suddenly the military horn sounded, and everyone else quickly assembled, only Li Su knew nothing.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open, and a big man rushed in and shouted, "Li Su! Gather! ”
Li Su was startled in his sleep, and he suddenly woke up and shouted: "Who! What is the ghost called? Still don't let people live? ”
Before he finished speaking, someone rushed up, lifted his futon at once, and then carried him out of the room. Li Su shaved his hands and feet as if he wanted to resist, but the big hand grabbed his hand like a pincer and didn't move.
"Bang!" **The naked Li Su was thrown at the front of the team, and Tang Jun laughed when he saw it. Li Su hurriedly squatted down to protect the vital point, and blushed to the cooked crab.
Xue Li stood at the front of the line like a javelin and shouted, "Li Su, why are you late today?" ”
