Chapter 424: Ah Luo

In the dense forest on the south bank of Lushui, a simple camp tent was built in a forest clearing. The front and back of the tent are covered with trees, and there are simple tables and other things in it. In the woodland around the camp, there are thousands of simple shelters built with trees and grass, large and small, densely distributed in the woods around the clearing for five or six miles.

This is Ge Luofeng's dense forest camp, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses he led have been ambushed on the south bank of Lushui early. On the north bank, he only sent more than 2,000 barbarians to harass the Jiannan army along the way.

For Ge Luofeng, these days are very tormenting. When the news came that the Tubo army and the soldiers and horses of the Tubo and Chongdao were all annihilated in the Battle of Netzhou, Ge Luofeng, who was in the southern Wumeng Mountain of Quzhou, was extremely shocked. In fact, Ge Luofeng didn't take it to heart when Quzhou gained and lost before, because to a large extent, it was his own initiative to give up. He didn't want the main force of the Jiannan Army to arrive in Quzhou to fight. Even if he wants to fight, it is best to fight between the dense forest valleys, that is what he is most sure of. Therefore, for Wang Yuan, the new deputy marshal of the Jiannan Army, Ge Luofeng did not look at it.

But when the news of the battle of Wangzhou came, especially when he learned about the situation of this battle, Ge Luofeng was stunned. The soldiers and horses of Chongdao actually ran to attack the Tubo army, and they were both defeated in the battle with the Tubo army, and Wang Yuan took advantage of them. After further understanding the details, Ge Luofeng had to admit that this Wang Yuan did have some means. He Chongdao is also extremely stupid, and he actually wants to cooperate with Datang and have the ambition to replace himself as the king of Yunnan. He completely deserved his fate, and Ge Luofeng didn't have the slightest pity for him.

However, anger is anger, and with the death of Chongdao, he has lost a usable soldier, and there is no one to charge for him. Moreover, the 30,000-strong army of Tubo was also annihilated, and the western front was suddenly unimpeded. If the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses in Wangzhou directly took Yaozhou, wouldn't they have copied their own back road. So Ge Luofeng didn't have time to think about it, and his first reaction was to immediately return from Quzhou to Yaozhou. He didn't want to be a turtle in an urn.

But Ge Luofeng has little confidence in defending Yaozhou, defending the city is not his strong point, and Yaozhou's city defense is not strong. Ge Luofeng also did not plan to defend Yaozhou. He thought very clearly, in order to keep Yaozhou, he had to repeat the old tricks and take advantage of the geographical advantage to have another battle of Lushui. Only by using the advantage of high mountains and dense forests to defeat the Jiannan army on the way can it be possible to make the Jiannan army retreat in the face of difficulties and dare not get involved in Yaozhou, and in addition, there is absolutely no way to hold Yaozhou.

The Jiannan army did not move for the next half a month, and Ge Luofeng also used this time to replenish supplies, poison arrows, poison miasma, etc., and had already set up a posture in the dense forest south of Lushui, waiting for the arrival of the Jiannan army. With full preparation, Ge Luofeng's confidence is also recovering little by little, he believes that he will be able to regain the initiative in the war, he is not a person who easily admits defeat. The only thing that was disturbing was that the envoy he sent to Tibet again was cut off by the Tubo people and came back miserably, bringing back a letter from Xiang Yele, a great minister of Tibet, who angrily reprimanded him, accusing his subordinates of jointly attacking the Tibetan army with the Tang army, and threatening to take revenge on Yunyun.

Ge Luofeng had no choice but to scold the dead Fu Chongdao. Although he explained, after all, he belonged to the Nanzhao Kingdom, and his actions should be held accountable by himself. Ge Luofeng understood that Tubo's words of revenge might just scare and scare himself, and Yixiang Yele himself was also fooled, just pushing the responsibility on his head. I can only swallow this fly in my stomach. Although there is still the possibility of repair, it is impossible for the Tubo State to send troops to help him in the short term, and the Tubo State is afraid that there will be a lot of quarrel within the Tubo State.

Ge Luofeng knew that his current situation was difficult, but he did not intend to give up, because he did not want to move between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in a low voice like his father Pi Luoge. Although he admits that his father's strategy was successful, allowing Nanzhao to use the power of other countries to unify the many tribes and forces on the banks of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and become a real country. But Ge Luofeng believes that such a stage should not appear again, and his mission is to get rid of the control of these two evil neighbors, no longer be at their mercy, and be his own master. I have to, and I have the ability to do it.

So in order to do all this, you must survive the difficulties in front of you, and you must have another perfect ambush on the shore of Lushui. As long as there is another perfect ambush battle, Ge Luofeng believes that Datang will have to give up Yaozhou and the idea of conquering Nanzhao.

News from the shore of Lushui kept coming, and Ge Luofeng was in charge of the actions of the Jiannan Army. When the Jiannan Army was opened, when it was set up camp, what it was doing, and what it was going to do, Ge Luofeng knew it clearly.

When he learned that the Jiannan Army had set up a solid camp on the north bank of Lushui, Ge Luofeng didn't really care, all he cared about was whether the Jiannan Army would cross the river or not, how to cross the river, once the other party began to cross the river, it would be the opening of the battle curtain and his best fighter.

When the news came in the morning, when the Jiannan Army began to cut down trees and make a large number of wooden rows, Ge Luofeng couldn't help laughing. It seems that Wang Yuan is not Er'er, and he actually wants to cross the river with a wooden raft, and Ge Luofeng has already foreseen that the soldiers and horses of Jiannan fell into the water and drowned in the turbulent turbidity, and their corpses floated away along the water. This section of the Lushui River is not able to be crossed by wooden platoons, and the boats are very difficult, which is simply whimsical.

"Got it, keep an eye on them, and tell General Abao not to disturb them even if they start to cross the river with wooden rafts. Let them taste the power of the river first. When they are exhausted and climb to the south bank, let them taste the poisonous miasma. ”

Ge Luofeng waved his hand to send away the sentry, stood up and moved his muscles, and suddenly heard a noisy frolic sound from behind the big tent, Ge Luofeng frowned, and shouted: "Who is making a loud noise?" ”

The figure at the door of the big tent flashed, and a girl with black hair and pigtails, dressed in a group of flower cloth hairpins, and a silver ring around her neck appeared in front of Ge Luofeng. When Ge Luofeng saw this girl, a smile suddenly appeared on her gloomy face.

"It turned out to be Aluo, who should I be."

"Brother, were you murdering me just now?" The girl pouted.

Ge Luofeng hurriedly said in a low voice: "Ah Luo, let's ambush in the forest, across the river bank under the mountain is the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and the loud noise alarming the birds and beasts will be found by the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, and they must not be loud and noisy." ”

The girl frowned and said, "Who made a loud noise?" I just hunted a golden pheasant with a bright tail, and I was discussing with Ah Zhu and the others just now about using this feather to make a hat for Ah Brother. ”

Ge Luofeng smiled and said, "I see, Brother is wrong to blame you." But I still have to be quiet, there is about to be a war here, and it is better for Ah Mei to go back to Taihe City. You are the noble princess of Erhai in my Nanzhao Kingdom, and my brother's favorite sister. It's hot and humid in this forest, although we Nanzhao people are used to this, but it's not good after all, Brother doesn't want you to suffer here. ”

This girl is the youngest daughter of Pi Luo Ge, the sister of Ge Luofeng, Ruan Luozhu, who was named Princess Erhai, and Nanzhao called her Princess Aluo. The little princess is smart, lively, beautiful and cute, and is a little princess loved by the subjects of Nanzhao Kingdom, known as the little peacock of Nanzhao Kingdom. A few days ago, A Luo came to the front line of Yaozhou to see his brother Ge Luofeng, and insisted on following him to the south bank of Lushui to help fight the Tang Army, Ge Luofeng loved his young sister and couldn't bear to refuse, thinking that she was just a momentary heat, but she didn't expect to be here for three days, and she didn't mean to leave.

"Brother just doesn't like to see me, so let's just say, why do you drive me away twice in three days?" Alodai frowned slightly.

"Sister, the matter of the war is the business of our Nanzhao men, why do you want to make trouble here? When the war starts, my brother will be distracted to take care of your safety. Listen to Brother's words, go back to Taihe City, Brother Brother repelled the Tang people, and then go back to Taihe City to play with you everywhere, okay? Ge Luofeng showed a gentle side, which can only be seen when talking to Ah Luo.

Princess Aluo stomped her feet and said, "Who wants you to take care of it, can't I take care of myself?" Brother looks down on people. Tell my brother to see what I do. ”

Ah Luo stretched out his hand to take the bow and arrow from his back, and quickly pulled the bow and arrow, and the bowstring vibrated with a bang, and the feather arrow flew out, and the trunk of a small tree at the edge of the clearing was in the middle, and the small tree shook for a while, and the leaves fell like rain.

"How? Does my brother still look down on people? Arlo raised her chin and said proudly.

Ge Luofeng said helplessly: "That's it, you can stay if you like to stay, but you must listen to my orders when the war starts, otherwise I will order someone to tie you up and send you back." ”

A Luo jumped forward and hugged Ge Luofeng's arm and said with a smile: "This is the brother who loves me, don't worry, with me here, this battle will be won." The sister helps you shoot through the dog head of Wang Yuan, the commander of the Tang Army, with an arrow, and gives my brother out of anger. ”

Ge Luofeng smiled bitterly and sighed, waved his hand and went back to the tent.
