Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 357 Warriors Useless Seeking Witch Gu
"What's wrong with Tang Jun?"
In Taihe City, Ge Luofeng suddenly opened his eyes, his palace was gloomy, and he vaguely saw his younger brother Monk Pavilion beside him, and he asked.
"Not yet ...... returned"
"Why is there no news, the Tang army divided its troops to fight against Tibet, what is the situation of victory or defeat, why is there no news yet?"
Ge Luofeng muttered to himself, these days, because there has been no exact news, his heart seems to have pressed a big stone, he can't eat and sleep well, just now on the throne, because his body is really tired and took a nap, and he woke up in just a moment.
Ge Bei's face twitched again.
It is normal that there is no news, they were well-informed before, and almost every move of the Tang army was under their surveillance, forcing Ye Chang not to dare to put the main plan in Yunnan at all, but to have a secret meeting with Ashima in Luzhou, and give Gao Shi a layout when he was in Rongzhou. But with the continuous victory of the Tang army, Nanzhao continued to lose and retreat, and now, almost everyone has seen the situation clearly, knowing that the defeat of Nanzhao is inevitable, who will come to report to Ge Luofeng at this time?
When Ge Pi just brought the news, Ge Luofeng was happy in his heart, because he felt that he saw the hope of turning defeat into victory. The Tang army will definitely follow the dog Rong, if he follows the Tang army at this time, he may be able to attack the Tang army with the dog Rong.
But what made him terrifying was that the Tang army did divide 10,000 troops and left with the dog Rong tightly, but at the same time, there were nearly 10,000 barbarians from all sides, called by Chengjie, Wang Guitang and others, and came to Longwei Pass from all directions. They not only came, but also sent food and supplies, in order to exchange those shiny glass beads, useful iron tools and other Tang items from the Tang army.
Ge Luofeng remembered a sentence he had heard from the Tang people when he was in Chang'an: the wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
He seems to be in this situation now, and the people who used to be respectful to him now begin to look at him with a strange gaze, except for the people who left behind the edict of Mengshe, the rest of the tribes around him are blocked from the periphery, because he is afraid that these alien tribes will be lured by the Tang army and betrayed him.
After hesitating for a while, Ge Luofeng said to Ge Bei again: "Brother Xian, will you go to the Tang Army again?" ”
"Tang Jun's side, I'm afraid it won't work, Ye Chang has already said it to death last time...... But in the past two days, I have thought about it carefully, and there is still a plan. Ge Bi took a breath, Ye Chang said very clearly last time, the day he saw him again would be his death, so he would never go again.
"Oh, what a ploy, say it, say it"
"The Tang people like infighting the most, Ye Chang is just a Jiannan soldier and horse envoy, and above it, there is still a Jiannan Jiedu envoy. It is reported that Yang Zhao, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, is the brother of Tang Tianzi's beloved concubine, and he was tired of being rarely in Zhongtong before, so he had to be released as a jiedu. He is demoted out of the capital, he must want to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, if we surrender elsewhere, he will have this great achievement, and Ye Chang will not be able to continue to march......"
Listening to the monk Ge Pi talk about taking advantage of the internal contradictions of the Tang Dynasty officials, although he could not win a complete victory, he could at least retain the Nanzhao and leave the opportunity to make a comeback, and Ge Luofeng was overjoyed. At this time, even if it is a straw, he has to hold it tightly in his hands. Therefore, he immediately got up: "Okay, good, Brother Xian, this matter still needs you...... I will send someone with you, bring more gold and silver treasures, and bribe Yang Zhao, I will definitely let him have a dislike with Ye Chang, even if I can't save our country, I can't make Ye Chang feel better."
He really gritted his teeth, if Ye Chang was in front of him, he would definitely pounce on it, and even gnaw a few pieces of meat from Ye Chang.
Seeing him like this, Ge Pi remembered that he had questioned in front of Ye Chang at the beginning, if he killed him like this, wouldn't he be afraid that the people would curse the ghosts and gods and disgust him, how did Ye Chang answer at that time.
"The barbarians who don't accept the king's curse and abuse of me are the best praise for me, curse, curse, roar, and die."
He didn't pay attention to this kind of swearing.
"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother" Ge Luofeng saw that Ge Pi was silent, and urged at the moment.
Ge Bei came back to his senses and answered yes. The matter was too important to be delayed, so he immediately went down to prepare and set out that night. He didn't dare to take the five-foot road, so he took the Qingxi Pass Road into Shu, in order to hide people's eyes, he had to pretend to be a trader among the barbarians, day and night, and rushed to Chengdu.
It's just that the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, although Qingxi Pass Road is the avenue of Yunnan into Shu, but it is also winding and circling, reciprocating and surrounding, trekking mountains and rivers, not a day to reach. Rao is pavilion went all out, and it took a full eight days to arrive in Chengdu.
At this time, Chengdu is also called Jinguan City, it is worth June again, summer flowers are like clouds, the fragrance is full of the city, the merchants are Chuanshuo, the tourists come and go, a prosperous and lively scene. Ge Bi didn't want to enjoy it, he went to the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in the city as soon as possible, and he wanted to enter directly.
"Where did the monk come from, dare to trespass, hit me" Before he approached the gate of the Jiedu envoy, he heard a shout, and then the water and fire stick came out of nowhere, and chased him is a random beating.
Ge Pi ate a few sticks in a row, and was beaten so much that he screamed, and his heart was half cold. He didn't know that Yang Zhao was very pompous and arrogant, and he was no longer the righteous Yang Zhao he was at the beginning. At that time, he was quite depressed in Shudi, and now he is back, it can be said that he has returned to his hometown, and he has to vote for his old brothers when he was down, and Yang Zhao was kind to him at the beginning, but gradually became impatient, and was ashamed that some embarrassing old things were mentioned, so he ordered the door to not let idle people come to see.
Pavilion came day and night, wind and dust, Mo said that he originally grew crooked melons and oblique plums, even if there was a bit of fairy wind bones, at this time it was also a broken appearance. When the porter saw it, he didn't like it, how could he get close, and naturally he was beaten out of the stick.
After being driven away, Ge Bei came to his senses, the so-called Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, if he can't settle these gatekeepers, where can he see Yang Zhao?
He racked his brains here to see Yang Zhao, but Ge Luofeng over there was so anxious that he had to ask a few questions a day, why there was no news of him yet.
When Ge Luofeng calmed down, he also knew that the news of the Dao Pavilion would not come so soon, but most of the time, he couldn't calm down. There are more and more barbarians of all ethnic groups in the second pass of Longshou and Longwei, and his news has been cut off, even if he sends people to inquire from Cangshan on a detour, he has never returned.
In a way, he had betrayed his family, and he himself knew that.
"King, King, it's not good" Just as Ge Luofeng was thundering again, he suddenly heard someone shouting and rushed in all the way.
Ge Luofeng's heart suddenly jumped to his throat, he stood up from his double dragon seat, looked nervously at the entrance of the main hall, and then saw a person running in in embarrassment, and when he entered the hall, he was tripped by the threshold, and he even rolled and climbed to get in front of him.
"What's the matter?"
"The Dragon Head Pass and the Dragon Head Pass were broken, Duan Jianwei and Yang Luo tied up His Royal Highness the Prince, killed Jiang Ruzhi, and descended"
"Oh......"
Ge Luofeng sighed softly, hearing the news, his nervousness was gone.
He had already known that someone under his command would surrender, but he didn't expect that the first to descend was not the guard of Longwei Pass facing the Tang Army, but only facing the Longshou Pass of some barbarian clans who gathered. What is the significance of descending and the rest of the edicts, if you want to descend, you should also pick the Tang people to surrender
Then he was shocked again: "Feng Jia is different...... My king, too, has fallen into the hands of thieves, why didn't you protect him out?"
The barbarian general who fled cried and said: "It's really sudden, I was lucky to get out, and the rest of the people were all bound by Duan Jianwei and others, or killed, king, if you can't quickly recapture the Dragon Head Pass, the big thing will not be good."
"Huh...... Ha Lu Ha ...... "Ge Luo Feng laughed.
Feng Jiayi is his son, he is only twelve years old now, he is very intelligent and heroic, and Ge Luofeng has high hopes for him. When he smiled, the barbarian who came to report the news trembled even more, and couldn't help but regret it in his heart.
I heard that something was wrong with the king recently, why should I be so loyal
"These dog slaves who don't have long eyes, they don't know the current affairs, they don't know, the Tibetan kingdom has sent 100,000 troops, and the 50,000 army of Ruozan is fighting fiercely with Tang Dog in Jianchuan, Tang Dog is attacked by the enemy, tens of thousands of soldiers, all turned into powder, Ye Chang's dog thief, since the bottom of the sinking river" Ge Luofeng spit out these words from between his teeth, his eyes were straight, and his expression was very wrong.
The general looked panicked, this was clearly a crazy appearance, he looked left and right, saw a handmaid beside him, so he glanced at the handmaid, the handmaid hurriedly withdrew, and after a while, a woman with a pair of rings in her ears and handsome eyebrows walked in.
It was Ge Luofeng's second concubine, the Bai family.
Concubine Ge Luo Feng was chosen by Pi Luo Pavilion for him, and she was not very favored by him, and this second concubine was a famous witch disciple among the barbarians, and it is said that she was good at witchcraft and could raise insects and hurt people. Even Ge Luofeng herself, she is also a little in awe of her, and she doesn't regard her as an ordinary woman.
She is also one of the few people who can get close to Ge Luofeng at this time.
"What are you doing, my lord?" She went straight to Ge Luofeng's side: "Even if Feng Jiayi is obtained by the Tang people, you still have the Duo inheritance, and the rest of the heirs, why do you want to do this?" ”
Her cold voice came into Ge Luofeng's ears, Ge Luofeng was agitated for a moment, and came back to his senses: "Aifei, what are you talking about...... What you're saying is "
"At this time, it is the time to fight the enemy with my heart, I have cast a spell in the palace these days, cursed Ye Chang and the Tang army, the king clearly told the whole army, ordered the whole army to fight, recapture the dragon head pass, and fight to the death with the Tang people"
Ge Luofeng is another agitator.
He waved his hand: "No, no......"
He is self-aware, and he knows that if Zhendu leads a large army out of Taihe City, he is afraid that soldiers will flee every day. Before the dragon head level was laid, the troops in his hands had already escaped.
Why did he abandon Longwei Pass and return to Taihe City, the reason is here, now the people of Nanzhao are panicking, even if they gather with witchcraft, they may not be able to maintain, if he stays in Longwei Pass, it is very likely that someone will sacrifice Taihe City and the Tang Army, and at that time he will not even have a base for logistics supply, so he can only stay in Longwei Pass and starve to death.
Now the biggest role of Taihe City is not to block the Tang army, but to prevent those barbarians who have deviated from Germany from escaping. With his own relatives and cronies, Ge Luofeng can also force the barbarians who remain in the city to strengthen his strength, and in wartime, he can act as a death squad to consume the strength of the Tang army.
"Don't you want to recapture the Dragon Head?" Although the Bai family has the courage, she is just a woman, and she does not see the problem as deeply as Ge Luofeng.
"It's in Taihe City, by the way, I asked you to build a witch platform, you use witchcraft, curse those Tang Army, curse that Ye Chang retreated from the Tang Army, I will make you the queen, I want to worship your god as the god of the whole country"
Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, and the words of making her queen made her heartbeat.
Although Ge Luofeng has always favored her, she is not a queen after all, if she is really made a queen, in the land of Nanzhao, doesn't it mean that she is above ten thousand people under one person?
"Don't worry, the king, I will not fail in my mission," she pondered her own set of secret methods, and immediately said.
Ge Luofeng issued an order, which is still useful in Taihe City, and soon, the whole city of soldiers and civilians will know that Ge Luofeng asked the second concubine Bai to perform witchcraft and kill the Tang army. The barbarians are superstitious and believe in witchcraft, so they finally cheer up.
After the Wutai was built, dozens of people were killed as sacrifices, and then the Bai family, dressed in white and covered with blue lines, jumped on the altar, danced and began to perform witchcraft.
Ge Luofeng looked at it for a long time, and his heart was already impatient, but the Bai clan was at this time, and shouted sharply: "Bye."
Suddenly, Ge Luofeng was the leader, he and his cronies bowed down, and the barbarians, soldiers and civilians who were watching also bowed. The Bai family had words in his mouth and asked Ge Luofeng and them to get up, but after a while, there was another "worship", and so on, tossing six times.
At first, Ge Luofeng still felt impatient, but gradually, he vaguely felt as if there was really some strength in the dark, which was formed in their continuous bowing. He looked around and found that the soldiers and civilians around him had also changed their panic from a while ago, and gradually became a little calm, as if they had a backbone.
He didn't know what "group suggestion" was, but he felt that Bai's set could reassure the military and civilians, and that was good.
Bai Shi made it for a long time, trembled, and then spurted blood from his mouth, and sat down on the witch platform alone. After a long while, she seemed to come to her senses and gestured to Ge Luo Feng's head.
A maid next to her stepped forward to help her up, Bai Shi looked around, and then pointed to the surroundings of Taihe City and said: "I have already cast a witch spell on all the water around here, as long as the Tang people drink this water, they will definitely die."
The soldiers and civilians all over the city immediately cheered, as if the Tang people had been defeated.
"The soldiers and civilians in the city are not allowed to drink the water of the streams, rivers and seas, but only the water of the wells in the city, if you don't believe it, you see" Bai beckoned, and suddenly someone scooped up the water and fed it to a dog, who only after a while, barked twice, and then bleed from his mouth and nose and fell to the ground.
The barbarians cheered again, this time louder than before
When Ge Luofeng saw the dog dead, he couldn't help but be suspicious, but he saw with his own eyes that the water had just been scooped from the stream, and the stream was very clear and flowing, and the people in the city drank it more in the past, why was it poisonous this time, could it be that the Bai clan really put a witch spell in the water?
