"Sure enough, it was your first one to complete today, and today's first prize is yours again, and it really deserves to have an iron bull."

"Ha Luha, that's nature, let's have a drink, look at those guys, they can only follow us to eat ashes today."

"If it weren't for the easy place you shared, the first place today would be ours"

"Luck is part of strength"

A bunch of nonsense words came into the ears of the messenger, and the messenger asked curiously, it turned out that Ye Chang divided the daily tasks into groups, and each of the subordinate armies undertook them, which group could win the first place and get the reward.

The reward was not much, but it was just right to arouse the competitive spirit of the sergeants, and the messenger was a man of understanding, and nodded his head secretly when he heard it.

If there are too many rewards, the soldiers only want to win awards, and they are no longer willing to go to the front line to fight for life and death, and if the rewards are less, they will not play an incentive role.

Before he could ask again, he heard that the person inside had come back, and Ye Chang summoned him to meet him.

When Ye Chang saw him, he couldn't help laughing: "Lin Xitang, since you are here, do you want to come to Brother Qin's side, and the matter is done?" ”

"I've seen Ye Langjun, what Langjun said is true, the master of the family has returned to Chengdu, and the things you want are already on the way"

"That's good, that's good...... You have come from afar to work hard, so go and rest first. Ye Chang smiled.

"These businessmen, can they really be successful?" Cai Ming still has some doubts behind his back.

The so-called construction of the city began with the construction of roads, and he assisted Li Bai, and learned a lot in just 20 days for this matter.

"You just have to rest assured, Ye Shiyi said in "The Wealth of Nations" that businessmen pursue profits, as long as there are enough interests, at some point, they are more effective than the government and the court." Li Baidao.

Li Bai's family was born in a businessman, and his father even went to Broken Leaf City in order to pursue profits, so he was very familiar with the temperament of these businessmen.

Cai Ming muttered again in his heart, always feeling a little suspicious.

Ye Chang was not ready to elaborate, but at this moment, someone outside said: "Ambassador, there is an urgent military situation ahead"

"Urgent military intelligence?" Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er, who were originally a little bored in the camp, suddenly perked up: "There is a battle to fight"

"Let him in." Ye Changdao.

Sure enough, as Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er expected, this emergency military situation came from Erhai Lake. Ye Chang himself was here, so that Wang Tianyun led 10,000 troops to approach Erhai, and now the troops have reached Zongzhou, which is very close to Erhai.

"Who are you?" Following the messenger, there was also a strong man in Han costumes, and when he arrived in front of Ye Chang, Ye Chang didn't know it, so he asked.

"A certain king returned to the Tang Dynasty, so the history of the assassin of Hedong Prefecture, the grandson of the founding son of Xinchang County, the grandson of the prince of Shanbao, the great-grandfather of a certain people, also sought the history of Hedong Prefecture, and asked the court to set up Yaozhou." The man cried and bowed: "Since the Southern Zhao and the Six Edicts, Hedong Prefecture has not seen the officials of the Celestial Empire for a long time, and the father's heart was to the Tang Dynasty, so he named the villain Wang Guitang, and today I can see the ambassador, how fortunate it is."

Ye Chang's expression moved.

Before coming to Yunnan, he had studied some of the situation in Yunnan, and knew that this Wang Renqiu, although he was a barbarian, in fact, his ancestors were Han people, and he was the so-called white barbarian, and he really had a heart for the Tang Dynasty, including his son Wang Shanbao, who had been in Chang'an as a guard.

"It turned out to be the grandson of Shanbao Gong, that is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty" He stepped forward quickly and helped Wang Guitang up: "Wang Rashi, you have suffered all these years, I am late"

Wang Guitang really burst into tears.

Since the rise of Nanzhao, it has expanded day and night, Hedong Prefecture is in the southeast of Erhai Lake, and Nanzhao and the remaining five edicts will point the spearhead here. Since then, people like the Wang family who are interested in the Tang Dynasty have been in a difficult situation, and Li Longji has suppressed the Wang family and many others in order to support his strategy of supporting Nanzhao to fight against the dog Rong.

Now that Nanzhao has finally exposed his wolf ambitions, for the Wang family, it means that they have finally come out after years of hardship.

"Ambassador, we, the barbarian tribes in Yunnan, hope that the ambassador will be like a long drought and hope for a rain, and also ask the ambassador to wave the heavenly soldiers to the west to save the people from fire and water."

"That's a natural thing, Wang Tianyun was ordered by me to conquer Erhai Lake, rebel and eliminate evil, that's for this" Ye Chang was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Today, with the help of Wang Thorn Shi, our army is like a tiger with wings, and the day when I want to tie up the culprit to sacrifice prisoners is just around the corner"

Hearing him say this, Wang Guitang was happy in his heart, and he pondered, although Ye Chang called himself a stabbing history, in fact, he didn't have many soldiers in his hands, and he had stooped to serve Luo Feng, if he couldn't make some contributions, he was afraid that he would not be able to sit safely. Seeing that this Ambassador Ye was preparing to build a city in southern Yunnan, he was clearly preparing to stay here for a long time, which was the case......

"Ambassador, this rebellion against the Southern Zhao is enough to prove that if the Tang Dynasty does not county Yunnan, then the rebellious ministers and thieves will continue to ask the ambassador to play the imperial court, change the restraint to the direct jurisdiction, and establish Yunnan Province to govern it."

He put forward these words, which was indeed in line with Ye Chang's heart. Previously, there had long been calls for the establishment of counties in Yunnan to be directly managed by officials appointed by the imperial court, but there were also voices advocating the abandonment of Yunnan and even the southern part of Jiannan to retreat to northern Sichuan, and its representative figure was Zhang Khanzhi, the prime minister of the Empress Wu.

The fundamental reason is that the princes of the dynasty can't see what these wild places can provide to Datang, but on the contrary, they have to involve a lot of manpower and material resources of Datang. Ye Chang came this time to reverse this idea and make Yunnan, which everyone regarded as dangerous, become a treasure trove of China.

"This recital, please stab the king in history, a certain must be attached." Ye Chang said with a smile: "The king has been loyal and good for generations, and he is dedicated to the country, and he will ask for the seal for the history of the thorn."

"Thank you, thank you, ambassador," Wang Guitang bowed.

After thanking him, Wang Guitang remembered something again, and said solemnly: "In addition to meeting the ambassador to express his loyalty, there is another thing, as far as the humble post knows, the reinforcements of the dog Rong people have already left Tieqiao City, passed Jianchuan City, and are only five days away from Taihe City. ”

Ye Chang's spirits perked up: "Who leads the troops, what is the strength of the troops?" ”

"The leader of the troops is Ruozan, the vanguard is the Shenchuan Metropolitan Commander, and the soldiers and horses are said to have more than 50,000 troops" Wang Guitang said this, a little worried: "I don't know when the follow-up troops of the Tang Heavenly Army will arrive?" ”

"Don't worry, it won't be a long time before a messenger comes, saying that it will be about ten days." Ye Chang said with a smile: "Since the reinforcements of the dog Rong are coming, I will only stop for a while, Brother Taibai, Brother Zhihua, you two work hard, I will leave a thousand men and horses with you, with the local people near the left, regardless of the Han barbarians, together to build this Yunnan City first."

"Don't worry, Anning City can still be built at the beginning, let alone Yunnan now?"

Anning City is a city built by the Tang Dynasty in order to strengthen the control of Yunnan decades ago, the location is in the west of Yunnan Ze, Zhang Qiu and Qiong had built the Butou Road from Anning to Butou, which caused the rebellion of the local Fu clan, and the Fu clan destroyed the Anning City, giving Nanzhao the pretext to intervene in the Nanze River Basin of Yunnan. Li Bai took Anning City as an example, which was actually a little unlucky, Ye Chang didn't care about this, but Cai Ming frowned.

"Although Taibai has the name of an immortal, he is crazy, so his words are not careful, Ambassador Ye supervises the army forward, I must be careful to pacify the rear for him, don't make Li Taibai make mistakes." He pondered in his heart.

Wang Guitang had another thing in mind.

The reason why Ge Luofeng made up his mind to invite Dog Rong to come to his aid was that Ye Chang built Yunnan City and made it clear that he wanted to fight a long-term war. At the beginning, Zhang Qiu and Qiong built the head of the road, which caused the opposition of the local barbarians, but after more than ten years of rule by Nanzhao, most of the thorns in the local barbarians were slaughtered by Nanzhao, and most of the remaining people were obedient, so Ye Chang's move to build the city, not only did not anyone object, but attracted a lot of barbarians who were bullied by Nanzhao. Seeing this, Ge Luofeng knew that he couldn't fight for the Tang Dynasty, if Yunnan City was really successful, the Tang army with a stable rear could consume him alive, so he was able to lead the dog Rong here, which meant a quick battle.

In such a situation, if the king is changed to the Tang Dynasty, the enemy is outnumbered, and Wang Tianyun must be recalled, retreat to the Qu Pavilion, and may even retreat to Longhe City. But Ye Chang's tone was not only not retreating, but also attacking forward...... Could it be that he is so confident, relying on the little force in his hands, to fight a decisive battle with the Dog Rong and Nanzhao coalition forces?

Although there are no 100,000 in the Dog Rong Nanzhao coalition army, there are still 80,000, and the troops in Ye Chang's hands are less than half of them, and if they want to win, they are afraid that it will not be easy.

He was pondering, Ye Chang turned to him again, his expression solemn: "Wang Tingshi, you have worked hard from afar, I should have asked you to take a break, but now the military situation is urgent, and there is another matter, it is none other than you, I hope you will work hard and run for me."

"Please instruct the ambassador to return to Tang and go all out"

"The barbarians are divided into two kinds, black and white, Nanzhao is a black barbarian, bullying the white barbarians, brutal and unkind, after I arrived in Yunnan, I heard that its atrocities are outrageous. Previously, the Southern Zhao was powerful, so Bai Man dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and now that the Tang Heavenly Army has arrived, he will be angry with Bai Man. Ye Chang said calmly: "The history of the assassin is a family of white barbarians, and he has always had prestige among the barbarians, and he also asked the history of the assassins to run for me, and invited the barbarian troops to help me in the Tang Dynasty."

This is not a good job, although Bai Man is somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Man, but now the situation is incomprehensible, and no one knows who the future master of Yunnan will be. Barbarians are not fools, and everyone prefers to wait and see rather than immediately choose a side. Like the king returning to the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for Wang Tianyun's troops arriving in Hedong Prefecture, and the main force of Nanzhao retreating to Longwei Pass, he would also wait and see first.

"Why, if Wang Tingshi thinks there is any difficulty, you can tell me, let's think of a solution to this difficulty together." Ye Chang said slowly.

Wang Guitang's heart trembled slightly, and his expression was a little unnatural.

As far as he knew, Ye Chang had captured nearly 5,000 barbarians in the previous two battles, and these barbarians were now serving hard labor in various dangerous places, for example, building cities and roads under the drive of the Tang soldiers, and they were not directly executed. In general, this Ambassador Ye seems to be a "soft-hearted" person, but Wang Guitang knows very well what it will be like for those who are soft-hearted on the surface to do ruthless things.

"This ...... Nothing was a problem......"

"That's good, the Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, the Tang Army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and it is our consistent proposition to salute first and then soldier." Ye Chang said: "Since there is no problem with Wang Thorn History, please take the first step and foresee for me...... I'll leave camp in half a day."

It was a five-day journey from Hedong Prefecture to Yunnan City, so almost at the same time that Wang Guitang arrived in Ye Chang's military camp, the soldiers and horses of the general of Dog Rong had already arrived at Longshou Pass.

"This is the Dragon Head Pass, but it is a precipitous place, Ha Lu Ha, Pi Luo Ge helped Tang Man fight with us, I am afraid that I will not think that today, his son invited us to enter this pass"

Looking up at the corner tower at the juncture, Yu Ha and Da Lu laughed, and the generals of the dog Rong next to him all laughed, indescribably happy.

The general next to him smiled and said in a low voice: "Jiang Yu (Nanzhao) is rich, although it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, it is also quite considerable. As is the case in our country, generals can do their own thing, so why don't ambassadors take Nanzhao to offer Zampu?

"Destroy the Tang soldiers first, and then take Jiang Yu." On Qili Yu sneered: "Pi Luoge's son is not good, he doesn't have the slightest ability, but he dares to betray the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is cowardly, and he is powerless to this piece of fat, but we Zampu are heroic, since there is such an opportunity, how can we let it go"

"The ambassador doesn't know, this Ge Luo Feng is said to be not the son of Pi Luo Ge." The general was familiar with the inside story of Nanzhao, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty asked Pi Luo Ge to hand over the proton, but he didn't want his parents to go, so he chose Ge Luo Feng as his heir, and sent him to Chang'an to stay for a while."

"In this way, Pi Luoge himself also harbors evil intentions......" The cold light flashed in Qi Liyu's eyes: "Nanzhao is the grass on the wall, such a state, it cannot be trusted, if there is a chance, you should take it for Zampu"

As he was talking, the gate of the dragon head pass in front of him opened, and a team of people came out of the door, and after they came out, the door was immediately closed. On Qiliyu's face suddenly sank, the gate was closed, and only dozens of horsemen were sent to greet them, obviously wanting to reject them from the door.

"Which one is Ambassador Non Qiliyu?" One of the people from Nanzhao asked proudly.

This person is dressed as a Han man, his eyes are flashing, and he doesn't look like a barbarian. Yan Qili Yu snorted, raised his chin, and the generals around him suddenly stepped forward and shouted fiercely: "Who are you, seeing that my ambassador doesn't bow down?" ”

"Jiang Ruzhi, a certain Yunnan recorder joined the army, and was ordered by the king to welcome the ambassador." The man listened to the question, flipped off his horse, and waved in front of Non Qi Li Yu: "It turns out that the general is the ambassador of Non Qi Li Yu, and he is really majestic, and he is quite different from the others."

"Jiang Yu has no one, he actually sent a Tang man to meet me, the Tang people have no other skills except to brag and pat their ass, I see that Jiang Yu uses Tang people, the country is about to perish, no wonder they will ask us for help" On Qi Liyu's side of a person said gloomily.

Jiang Ruzhi glanced at this person and said with a smile: "Although a certain person is from the Tang Dynasty, he can't brag about it, he only knows the truth - the general came just in time, the Tang army has captured Hedong Prefecture, just outside Longwei Pass, the general is here, and he is attacking the Tang army with our army."

"Our army came from afar, and we will enter the customs first to rest." On Qili Yu said expressionlessly: "What is the purpose of you waiting for the retreat? ”

"The people in the pass are timid, they have never seen the world, and they are afraid that they will be frightened by the general's tiger and wolf army, and they will be hurt in the name of praise and righteousness." Jiang Ruzhi smiled and said: "It's really hard for the general to come from afar, but I have prepared a military camp for the general as soon as possible, and it has been prepared as soon as it should be rewarded, so it is in the camp, please come with me."
