It's the end of summer.

From entering Shu in April, to the start of the war in May, and now, the war has lasted for four months. Fortunately, thanks to his own planning, and thanks to the soldiers' lives, the war was quite smooth, and now he commanded the army, and came to Taihe City, this newly built city, the defense can not be said to be perfect, it is said that Ge Luofeng was originally going to move the capital from here.

Looking at this city, Ye Chang smiled slightly.

"Sure enough, as the ambassador expected, there was a commotion in the city, and people kept escaping, so the south came to report that the guards of the southern city had decided to sacrifice the city, and Wang Tianyun was ready to receive it."

"Well, it seems that we can surrender the soldiers without a fight, but I don't know who will take Ge Luofeng to offer." Ye Chang said with a smile: "However, we can't be careless, pacifying Ge Luofeng is just the beginning, and we will have to worry a lot in the future, at least it will take half a year to sweep away all the remnants of Ge Luofeng, as for making Yunnan truly stable, three or five years is at least." ”

It was Gao Shi who spoke to him, at this time Gao Shi was in high spirits, and the battle of flying to capture Tieqiao City was enough to ⊥ his reputation to the heavens, Ye Chang also secretly communicated with him, and it was expected that the next imperial court would be to establish the Yunnan Jiedu Envoy, Ye Chang would be the first Jiedu, but in Yunnan, Ye Chang was only ready to stay for three years, and after three years, Gao Shi would succeed him.

"Relying on Shiyi Lang to create a precedent, I just need Xiao Gui Cao." Gao Shi said with a smile.

"Brother Gao can do this best, you can't be careless, five years later, Yunnan will be self-sufficient, then this territory will be stable, maybe there are other territories that need to be developed by Brother Gao. What an honor it is for a manly man to take advantage of this day to expand his territory for future generations."

"Only Eleven Lang, who is proficient in military strategy and political affairs, can manage the frontier. The opening of the border in the Han Dynasty caused the emptiness of the country and the boiling of public resentment. ”

Gao Shi is not a sycophant, he is indeed very convinced of Ye Chang's plan, as the successor of Ye Chang's secret promise, Ye Chang told him about his overall plan for Yunnan, and only he knows what kind of treasure Yunnan will be for Datang in the future.

Not only in Yunnan, but also in Lingnan and even in Annam.

The two talked and laughed in a low voice, not taking the Nanzhao army in the city to heart at all, they expected that even if Ge Luofeng fought back desperately, it would not cause much loss, and it was even possible that just with the newly attached barbarian army, it would be enough to capture Ge Luofeng.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the horn in the city sound, and then I saw the north gate of Taihe City open

"Huh?" Ye Chang and Gao Shi were stunned.

Because there are barbarians who secretly defected to the Tang Dynasty in Taihe City, they are very clear about the defense in the city. On the side of Beicheng, all of them are Ge Luofeng's cronies, there are at least 2,000 people, and these people are also Ge Luofeng's capital to seize the throne of Nanzhao, and they will never surrender easily. But now they open the gates...... Do you really want to fight back to the death?

However, the next scene surprised Ye Chang and Gao Shi even more.

The brute soldiers who came out of the door did not charge in one breath, but lined up on both sides, and then fell to their knees, and immediately after, a man dressed in the king's uniform also came out, and then knelt on the ground, and held up an object with both hands

"Ge Luofeng...... I did something that surprised us."

Judging that the one wearing the king's costume was Ge Luofeng, Ye Chang turned his head sideways to Gao Shidao.

"Cornered." Gao Shi frowned.

"I thought it was a fluke, and he thought that he had done it to such an extent, and I couldn't take his life." Ye Chang stared at someone coming from the door, with a somewhat strange expression.

He killed Ge Luofeng's heart, Ge Luofeng knew it clearly, Ge Luofeng had asked to surrender several times before, but he refused, but now, Ge Luofeng still made this gesture.

What Ge Luofeng thought in his heart, Ye Chang could probably guess that this guy was really cunning, no wonder in the history of another life, he caused so much trouble to the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said that the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty is closely related to the turmoil of Nanzhao.

Ye Chang raised his chin slightly, no matter what the hell Ge Luofeng had in mind, now, Ye Chang was a conqueror and was about to step into this nascent city.

"Yunnan Wangge Luofeng, please surrender"

After a short silence, Tang Jun suddenly cheered, and even sang and danced, extremely happy.

After four months of endless fighting, although there were not a few real big battles, for the Tang army, it was already tired. If it weren't for this, Ye Chang would not have returned to the army after the Battle of Tieqiao City, and it was not until yesterday that he came to Taihe City. The whole process was also based on attacking the heart to force Ge Luofeng's subordinates to surrender, and there was no bloody battle.

"Could there be any traps?" Someone whispered in Ye Chang's ear.

Ye Chang smiled, what other traps could there be in such a situation, and even if there were traps, would he be such an imprudent person?

As soon as the city was opened and surrendered, there were immediately brave men who dared to fight and stepped forward, regardless of the 3721 to seize the city gate and the tower, clear all the barbarian troops, and drive them aside, and all weapons, especially bows and crossbows, were confiscated. In this process, the barbarian army naturally had to feel humiliation, but the situation was stronger than people, and even Ge Luofeng knelt on the ground, what else could they say?

After Gao Shi confirmed that there were no traps and ambushes, he came back and nodded to Ye Chang.

No one paid attention to Ge Luofeng, who was kneeling on the ground, because everyone knew the Tao and the glory of surrender, only Ye Chang could bear it.

Ye Chang looked like he was smiling, and then drove forward.

Ge Luofeng, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the sound of horses' hooves, raised his face, and looked at Ye Chang.

On Ge Luofeng's face, there was no sense of humiliation or failure, on the contrary, he was vaguely excited. He wanted to see disappointment on Ye Chang's face, because he knew very well that what Ye Chang was thinking was not his surrender.

What Ye Chang thought about was that he would die, but he would not die, even if Ye Chang cut off his various retreats, he would still not die. He wants to live, and he has to live beautifully, live for Ye Chang to see, and live to see Ye Chang's fate.

"It's a quick decision, you are really a character." When the horse arrived in front of Ge Luofeng, Ye Chang got off the horse, but did not take the jade seal representing the power of the Nanzhao king from Ge Luofeng, but said softly.

Ge Luofeng raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid of the envoy's authority...... If the ambassador had wished, I could have come down early. ”

"As I said, the days of rebellion and fuss about getting benefits are gone." Ye Chang said coldly.

"I have already sent Brother Wang Ge to Chengdu to ask Yang Gong to surrender to Jiannan Jiedu." Ge Luofeng also said in a low voice.

Ye Chang didn't expect him to have this trick, and his brows furrowed again.

"Chennan Zhaowang Ge Luofeng, ask the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty to surrender, the ambassador is not only the Son of Heaven's envoy, but also asks for the surrender ......"

Ge Luofeng once again lifted the thing in his hand that represented the royal power of Nanzhao, but Ye Chang still did not take it.

Feeling the anger in Ye Chang's eyes, Ge Luofeng's heart was infinitely happy, and he was surprised to find that he could make himself so happy by surrendering.

Because he didn't let Ye Chang agree, he didn't let this Tang man who ruined his plan do all the work, so he was happy.

Ye Chang groaned slightly, and Gao Shi over there stepped forward, didn't look at Ge Luofeng, and leaned into Ye Chang's ear and whispered: "If you send it to Chang'an, you will not escape death." ”

When Ge Luofeng heard this, the corners of Ge Luofeng's mouth twitched silently, as long as he didn't die on the spot, he was convinced that he wouldn't die after he arrived in Chang'an. He has served as a guard in Beijing, knows Li Longji very well, and he is no stranger to the court of the Tang Dynasty today.

Rhetoric and bribery are enough to ⊥ dozens or hundreds of people in the Tang Dynasty court to intercede for him, and Li Longji will also be interested in having a barbarian king who submits to him and raise him as a clown.

"He can't die, he has gone through Yang Zhao's door, that is, he has gone through the side of the noble concubine, as long as he arrives in the capital, he can't die......"

"It doesn't matter, it's still far from here to the capital, and there will be violent illnesses on the road." Gao Shi whispered again.

Ye Chang shook his head with a smile: "Senior brother, I know Yang Zhao's temperament very well, he is not a person who will abide by the agreement." When I was in Beijing and in Chengdu, I had an agreement with him, saying that the military affairs belonged to me, but he could just sit in Chengdu. But this great achievement of capturing the famous king, he ran into his hands, how could he let it go? Presumably, his messenger is about to arrive, and there must be a letter asking me to hand over Ge Luofeng to him. ”

Ge Luofeng smiled silently again, he looked up at Ye Chang, and met Ye Chang's eyes, although there was no abnormality on his face, but in that gaze, there was a deep hidden pride and resentment.

Gao Shi thought about it carefully, and he must admit that what Ye Chang said was reasonable.

Yang Zhao will definitely come to rob Ge Luofeng, although he has agreed not to care about front-line military affairs, but Ge Luofeng sent people to surrender to him all the way, this is not front-line military affairs. For the sake of merit, he can quibble, saying that this is not a military affair, but an education, and he can stretch out his hand to govern.

"It's okay to get this guy cheaper, after he arrives in Chang'an, he will leave his life behind, and he will have to suffer some living crimes." Gao Shi was also a little unhappy when he thought of this, and glared at Ge Luofeng.

Ge Luofeng was unconscious, still looking extremely calm.

Ye Chang was about to speak, but saw a voice from behind: "Ambassador Ye, Ambassador Ye"

Ye Chang turned his head and saw several horses galloping towards him, but halfway through, he was stopped by more than ten horsemen from the Tang Army, and the person on the horse was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and shouted.

Ye Chang looked over and recognized him, it was Sima Cui Yuan beside Yang Zhao, who was Yang Zhao's henchman.

In addition to Cui Yuan, there were several people, one of whom was staggering on the horse, and it seemed that he couldn't sit steadily, it was Gebei.

"Sure enough, it came, and it was a coincidence." Ye Changdao.

Gao Shi didn't know Ge Bei, but he knew Cui Yuan, so he naturally understood that this should be someone sent by Yang Zhao. And at this time, Yang Zhao sent someone to do something, and he didn't need to think about it to know what he wanted.

Gao Shi was so angry that he almost felt like his chest was about to explode.

There is no strategy to use to calm the barbaric side, and to grab merit and win merit for fear of falling behind, how can such a person, if he does not rely on nepotism, climb to a high position

Ye Chang squinted his eyes and didn't make a sound. If he doesn't give an order, he won't dare to let Cui Yuan and Ge Pi over.

Ge Luofeng stared at Ye Chang's expression, and when he saw Ge Pi and a Tang official coming over, he was originally a little worried, but now he was completely relieved.

What a coincidence

He was exactly the same as Ye Chang in his heart, but Ye Chang was depressed in his heart, and he was ecstatic.

At this time, Ye Chang should be as uncomfortable as eating a fly, this military and political government is indeed powerful, but in the face of this kind of pig teammate, what can he do?

Ye Chang squinted his eyes and said to Gao Shi: "That monk is Ge Luofeng's younger brother Ge Bi, you let him come over." ”

"Where's Cui Yuan?" Gao Shi asked in surprise.

"Let him wait for now."

Gao Shi didn't know what Ye Chang wanted, but he felt that Ye Chang seemed to be going to do something great, he hesitated slightly, thinking of Ye Chang's previous actions, he smiled dumbly: "Okay, I'll see you, how crazy you are." ”

He turned around, came to Cui Yuan, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Cui Sima." ”

Ye Chang said to let Cui Yuan wait, but he felt that it would be better to help Ye Chang drag Cui Yuan. Cui Yuan came by order, knowing that this task was not easy to complete, so he didn't dare to take it in front of Gao Shi, saluted respectfully, and then said: "Gao Gong, Yang Shilang sent me here because I have something to report to Ambassador Ye, and I also ask Gao Gong to speak for me." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, who is this monk?" Gao Shi pointed to the monk's pavilion.

"This is Ge Luofeng's brother...... He ......"

Cui Yuan was about to explain the intention of Ge Pi, Gao Shi interrupted again: "It turns out that he is Ge Pi, Ambassador Ye is talking to Ge Luofeng about him, Ge Pi, you go over first, Ambassador Ye has something to ask you." ”

In front of Cui Yuan, Ge Bei did not doubt that he had him, and urged him to step forward, but he was immediately stopped, he could only walk to Ye Chang's side, and when he saw his brother kneeling, he also knelt down.

"Gebei, you were ordered to go to Chengdu, how was this trip?" Ye Chang asked softly.

"I'm fortunate to see Yang Gong, Yang Gong has already allowed me to surrender to the south." Ge Bi stared at Ye Chang and said, "Let the ambassador down." ”

"Hehe, there is no disappointment, I had no intention of staying in Yunnan for a long time, I originally wanted to wait for the situation to settle down before leaving, but now it seems that I can only advance."

Ye Chang's words made Ge Pi finally feel that something was wrong, he looked at Ye Chang and said suspiciously: "What does the ambassador mean by this?" ”

"Do you remember the last time you came to see me, I once said, Ge Luofeng, you are the evil leader of this rebellion, because of your rebellion, tens of thousands of Han family sons died in the land of Yunnan, if you don't cure the sins of the two of you, you can't rest the souls of the deceased." Ye Chang said slowly: "You are cunning, one goes to Chengdu, and the other binds yourself, trying to escape the punishment of a thousand knives." ”

Ge Luofeng and Ge Pi glanced at each other, and they heard anger from Ye Chang's words.

But what can Ye Chang do if he is angry, now that the two of them have surrendered, and Yang Zhao has also accepted their surrender, Ye Chang is a border general, how can he do anything to Yang Zhao's envoys in front of tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides?

As long as Cui Yuan comes up to speak, they will be handed over and taken care of by Cui Yuan, and at that time, they are more worry-free.

Ge Bi wanted to say something more, but Ye Chang pulled out the matching knife and put it on his neck.

Ge Bi was a little bold, kneeling there, not squinting: "Why bother the ambassador to come?"
