On July 11 of the thirteenth year of the Tang Dynasty, the hussar general, the commander of the Tiance Mansion, and the king of the Tang Lanling led the troops to defeat and invade the hinterland of Nanzhao, and the Tiance army captured the Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng, and first took Taihe City and Longwei City, and then the Tang army was led by Duan Jianwei, the former general of the Southern Zhao, and led the light cavalry to drive the Dragon Shouguan, and without waiting for the general to react, he successfully occupied the Xiongguan that contained the northern border of the hinterland of the Nanzhao, and then the Tang army and the newly armed white barbarian army took over all the city defenses, and the Nanzhao regime was officially destroyed.

On the twelfth day of July, in the morning, a generation of heroes named Ge Luofeng finally had a formal meeting with his opponent, Xiao Quai, the king of Lanling in the Tang Dynasty, in his own palace.

In addition to the two people present, there were also Zhu Ling'er, who had been following Xiao Quai's side, Li Sheng, Ma Sui, and other important generals in the army, as well as Jia Qijun, the envoy in the army, several senior managers of Sihai Trading Company, and two representatives of businessmen.

The members of the former Nanzhao side included Duan Quange, Duan Jianwei, Zhao Meiqiu, and other leading generals, Yang Bang and other surrender officials, Jiang Ruzhi, Zheng Hui, Lou Jing and others, as well as other representatives of the Five Zhaos and the Hefu clan.

Xiao Qubing didn't say anything about the matter discussed, but everyone was clear in their hearts, it should be the management of Yunnan after the fall of Nanzhao, after all, the Tiance army can't be stationed here for a long time, and it has to be handed over to the locals to take care of.

Thinking of this, these local natives who surrendered to Wangfeng, and the Tang officials who made meritorious contributions after being captured, were all nervous, scared, and excited and looking forward to it.

After everyone arrived, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Huang and Chen Dahai gave each of them a cup of hot tea. You can see the tea leaves floating up and down in the cup. This is the first time that many people have seen this way of drinking tea. Coupled with the preciousness of the tea set, many local natives were a little afraid to touch the cup for a while, and the captured Tang Dynasty officials kept exclaiming, saying that this Lanling King is really a rich country.

"This king will not beat around the bush, and this time I called you here to discuss the future management of this Yunnan land." In the fragrance of tea, Xiao Qu said sickly, but the first thing he said. But it was a bit unexpected by everyone.

"Over the years, there have been many major wars in the land of Nanzhao, and within ten years, there are at least 500,000 people who have died in the wars, not a million. In particular, several major wars were full of murder, casualties, and rivers of blood.

So many people died, including us Tang people. It also includes the previous Nanzhao people. To tell the truth, although this king has killed countless people. But in his heart he pursued peace, and it was heartbroken to see that so many people had died, and the people on both sides had suffered from war. I would like to discuss with you a way to eliminate war and keep peace forever, and the purpose of this king is to love peace, not war. ”

"The king of Lanling worries about the country and the people, which is admirable......"

"The benevolence of the king of Lanling is the blessing of the people of Yunnan who are us......"

The local natives only nodded and flattered, only Ge Luofeng scolded in his heart: This Xiao Qubing is simply a demon king who kills people without blinking, but now he says that he is heartbroken about the war and death, and he also says that he loves peace, don't want war, and his face is really thicker than the city wall, but he is not a king or a loser, and it is not up to him what he says.

The lonely king wants to see what he can propose to eliminate the war and keep the peace forever.

"But before saying this, this king will make a summary of all the things that happened in Nanzhao and Datang before. With so many people dead, there must always be a conclusion on the merits of this, so that the world can be admonished, right?

For these things, the king has been meditating for several days, and there is a not very mature conclusion, do you want to hear it? ”

"King Lanling, please say ......"

"I'll listen to you......"

"This king feels that in terms of major policies and solutions to specific affairs, Datang is naturally all wrong, and Nanzhao is almost all right."

"......" The local natives were dumbfounded, their expressions were stunned, and they didn't know how to answer for a while; Ge Luofeng was stunned at the same time, and there was a slight sense of self-satisfaction.

"But if you talk about the ins and outs of the relationship between Datang and Nanzhao, and evaluate the rights and wrongs of it, this king feels that it is all Nanzhao's fault."

The natives became more and more stunned, most of them naturally did not approve of this, but they didn't dare to argue, they could only treat it silently, except for Ge Luofeng, who had nothing left, he had already let it go, his expression was angry, his eyes were cold and hot, and he opened his mouth to argue: "I want to listen to the high arguments of the king of Lanling, how is it that Nanzhao is all wrong?" ”

Xiao Quzhi didn't even look at it, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "My Tang Dynasty's policy of governing various vassal states and attached tribes has always been to use razing to control razing, this point does not need to be said by this king, I believe everyone is also clear."

The king is not saying that the policy of razing is completely wrong, but it does have too many problems and has been used by careerists. In the past, there were Turks who had been plagued for many years, and were pacified by Emperor Taizong, Taizong was merciful, and gave preferential treatment to the Turkic remnants who surrendered and attached, so that they lived in the heart of our Hebei, as well as in Yunzhong, Hequ and other places, and did not collect their taxes, and still commanded their clansmen by their chiefs, and allowed them to retain the army, and the policy was so generous that it could be said to have reached the extreme.

But did I, Datang, do I finally get the gratitude of these Turks in exchange for this? No, Taizong died, and the Western Turks immediately rebelled, captured the four towns of Anxi, and were later pacified; After that, the Tang Dynasty failed in its conquest of Tibet, its national strength was damaged, and the Turks rebelled, causing disaster to the frontier for decades.

This is the first problem of our Datang policy of using razing to control razing, let the Yi people manage the razed land by themselves, Datang almost did not participate in the management at all, nor did they educate these Yi people, so that for decades, more than a hundred years, they will not have the slightest feelings for Datang, and will only benefit from Datang; I won't be grateful to Datang You, I will only feel that Datang is stupid. ”

This is clearly a point, for example, although it is Turkic, but it is clearly scolding Nanzhao for being ungrateful, and will only get benefits from Datang, and there is no trace of gratitude and feelings for Datang.

The natives were indignant in their hearts, and felt as if this were the case; But after thinking about it, the Tang people are actually not good birds. Over the years. There are no fewer small actions. behind the scenes, stirring up various tribes to fight each other or something; Ge Luofeng sneered even more in his heart, and said that Datang was originally stupid, so he would be played by his father and son.

Xiao Quzhi continued: "The second and biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty is that it tried to use Jiayi to control Yiyi, but in the end it was used by careerists.

There is also a precedent for this, and in the post-Turkic silent period, the Turks repeatedly invaded the border. Every time the court conquered the Turks, Mo Si asked the court for peace, saying that he would seek revenge for the court against the Khitan and Xi, who were also rebellious, and the court was always deceived.

The same is true of this dynasty, Zhu Zhu made ~ rebellion, killed the city to make Yue Cui Governor Zhu Lingqian, the court razed the country, did not thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of Zhu Lingqian's killing, just wanted to quickly quell the rebellion.

Under the operation of Nanzhao, the imperial court issued an edict for Nanzhao to conquer Zhufu. But unexpectedly, Zhu Zhu made ~ the anti-Nanzhao secretly provoked and instigated, after this incident. Nanzhao took the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of eastern Yunnan, so that the later Nanzhao Rebellion occurred.

It can be said that the imperial court's response to the whole matter was extremely wrong, even stupid. I believe you have all understood the ins and outs of this matter, to put it bluntly, this matter is that the imperial court was used by Nanzhao, and this is the evil result of the imperial court's use of razing to control razing.

These are the mistakes of Datang in the big policy and the solution to specific incidents, from this point of view, it is natural that Datang is all wrong, Nanzhao responded appropriately, and skillfully used Datang's policy of razing to control raze, and developed and grew again and again. ”

After Xiao Qu's illness finished speaking, he deliberately walked in front of Ge Luofeng, arched his hand, and said seriously: "Speaking of which, I have to admire the disease, King of Yunnan, good means!" ”

Ge Luofeng's face was solemn, and he said lightly: "Why didn't the king of Lanling say that Li Mi was using a plan to sow discord in the Fu clan, and instigated Ji Chongdao to kill his uncle and brother, so that the lives were ruined; Why don't you say that Zhang Qiantuo extorted bribes, tried to insult his fellow female dependents, and falsely accused me of Nanzhao general? ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded: "You are right, Li Mi pursued a policy of razing and destroying him, instigating Chongdao to kill his uncle and brother, in a vain attempt to clear the forces of Nanzhao from eastern Yunnan, and it did achieve the effect at first.

But the king of Yunnan, you lifted the table, and at the request of the king's wife, he directly sent troops to kill Chongdao and annex its population and territory, and the Tang Dynasty was out of options. This incident further illustrates the huge problem of the policy of razing and razing.

Zhang Qiantuo carried out Xian Yu Zhongtong's will, wanted to force the rebellion against Nanzhao to obtain military merits, and easily provoked a war, but in the end it was the end of the entire army. Zhang Qiantuo is naturally at fault, and Xian Yu Zhongtong deserves death. ”

After a pause, Xiao Qu said sickly: "Of course, if Xian Yu Zhongtong has half of the ability of this king, and can solve the matter of Nanzhao with less than 1,000 casualties, then even if he has made great contributions to the country, Zhang Qiantuo can also be regarded as a hero who sacrificed for the country."

It's a pity that both of them are mediocre and incompetent, and they are all innocent, and this king is eager to dig up their graves and scatter their bones and ashes. ”

This is obviously boasting about himself, it is rare to be thick-skinned, but he did it, with less than four hundred dead and wounded, he pacified more than 100,000 troops of Nanzhao, and did not hide what Li Mi and Zhang Qiantuo did, Ge Luofeng turned his face away and stopped talking.

"Let's talk about the ins and outs of the Nanzhao incident, the rights and wrongs, why this king said that it was all Nanzhao's fault." Xiao Quzhi returned to his seat: "Before, in this land, there were eight edicts (plus the two clans of Luo Zhi and Shi Pang), there were Bai Man, and there were Fu clans, during which they attacked and annexed each other, so I won't describe much, just talk about six edicts.

Among the six edicts, the other five edicts are in the north, close to Tubo, although they have been attached to my Tang Dynasty a long time ago, but under the pressure of Tubo, they often abandon the Tang Dynasty and attach themselves to Tubo, and only Mengshe Zhao (in the southernmost part of the six edicts, so it is also called the Southern Zhao) has always been attached to the Tang Dynasty, so it has the support of my Tang Dynasty.

Meng She's edict was extremely loyal and respectful everywhere, and Pi Luoge constantly bribed the Tang officials of Jiannan Province, so that the imperial court thought that Mengshe's edict could be used by me, so it acquiesced to Nanzhao's annexation of the other five edicts.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the support and partiality of the imperial court, the main Bo Chong of the Yue Xi edict was killed, although he had no son, but he had a nephew Yu Gift, why should the territory of the Yue Xi edict be assigned to the Mengshe edict?

After the three waves fought with Mengshezhao, the imperial court gave Mengshezhao a large amount of grain, rice, materials and weapons support, and Mengshezhao finally won; Pi Luo Ge killed the lord of the Mengshan edict and expelled his son, and the court also deliberately turned a blind eye, is there anything wrong with these things? ”

No one spoke.

"King of Yunnan, is what this king said wrong?"

"What King Lanling said is true, but ......"

"No but!" Xiao Quzhi rudely interrupted Ge Luofeng's words and continued: "The imperial court is so partial, why is it so helpful to Nanzhao? The reason is that Nanzhao has always attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is the most respectful, because he Pi Luo Ge once said that he can defend the Tang Dynasty against Tibet. ”

Xiao Quzhi stood up again as he spoke, the teacup in his hand slapped heavily on the table, and when Ge Luofeng turned his head, he stared at his eyes, his pupils contracted slightly, and he said word by word: "But how did you Nanzhao repay Datang?" ”

"We ......" Seeing that Xiao was very gentle and amiable at the moment before his illness, but at this moment, his face was frosty, and his eyes seemed to be about to choose someone to eat, and Ge Luofeng's words were a little unspeakable, or he didn't dare to quibble.

"The people of the Three Edicts (all of the Zhao of Luo Zhi Zhao and the remnants of the Langqiong Zhao and the Xuan Zhao) retreated to Jianchuan and were protected by Tubo, and the Southern Zhao did not dare to go north to compete with them, but set their sights on the land of eastern Yunnan.

provoked and instigated Zhu Jiao to kill Zhu Lingqian, the governor of Yue Cui, who built the city, and took revenge, and the wolf's ambition was to bite back, which was Nanzhao's return to Datang.

Now let's look back, before Mengshe's edict was always attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was the most cautious, we can find that Mengshezhao's doing this is not because Mengshezhao is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but because you Mengshezhao is smart.

The Tibetan barbarians will only burn and loot, what do they want, there is no benefit in relying on Tubo, but they can get a lot of benefits by relying on the Tang Dynasty, and they can also learn all kinds of advanced technologies and processes, which is better or worse, do not ask!

The reason why Mengshe Zhao has always been attached to Tang is actually because it is located in the southernmost part of the Six Edicts, and there are other five edicts to resist the threat of Tubo for you, that's all! ”

Xiao Quzhi's fingers slammed on the table, looking very angry: "So from beginning to end, Nanzhao is deceiving and using Datang, taking advantage of Datang's policy loopholes to control razing to gain Datang's support and strengthen himself."

And Datang was played by your father and son, luring wolves into the house, raising tigers for trouble, and after discovering the problem, it was too late! Nanzhao, a tiger that was fed by Datang himself, finally turned around and bit Datang hard, devouring 200,000 military horses of my Datang, consuming the huge national strength of my Datang, and ruining my lives.

This land of Yunnan has always been fighting, and there have been several wars, and the source is also caused by your father and son, two careerists, thieves of the country. The sins of your father and son are too numerous to mention! (To be continued.) )
