What Ye Chang said was even more intense than what the monk said.

"Go back and tell Ge Luofeng, I am very grateful to him, he is crazy for his heartbreak, and he is the ring for future generations. From now on, the era of thinking that there would be a big fuss, killing some Han people, and then the Han government would run around and coax them to protect them, and they would not hesitate to offer the people's fat and ointment to curry favor with the people is over. Although those who commit strong men will be punished from afar, please start from Ge Luofeng, and you may escape from the rebellion, but Ge Luofeng himself and his relatives are not punished by Che Crack Ling Chi, which is not enough to atone for his sins, and it is not enough to rest the souls of the innocent dead in Yunnan City."

At that time, the monk pavilion was very shocked, and said that there would be a heavenly punishment for hurting the heavens and being cruel and unkind, but Ye Chang replied: "The slightest mercy to Ge Luofeng's division and rebellion is cruel to the Han people and the Chinese clans who are willing to join hands with the Han people. I am the general of the Tang Dynasty and the official of China, and I only need to consider being merciful to the people of the Tang Dynasty in China."

This not only cut off Ge Luofeng's own way to surrender, but even his family was pronounced a death sentence

When Ge Luofeng heard this, he was furious, and Huo Ran got up: "Since this is the case, then fight to the death and let this Erhai Lake become a sea of blood."

He made up his mind, took a turn in the hall, and then said to the monk's pavilion: "Brother Wang, I still have to bother you to go"

"Brother King just commands, then Ye Chang said that I gave advice to my brother and king, and I am also one of the culprits, and I will also die, but I just wanted me to act as this envoy to spare my life." Ge Bei said miserably.

"Don't be afraid of him, he has the ability to catch our brother and say" Ge Luofeng sneered, and then said: "Since that's the case, I'll break the net...... Please go to Longshou Pass as soon as possible, it just so happens that the Tibetan soldiers and horses are here with me, and you go with him, only saying that I want to attach the land to the country, and dedicate all the land and wealth to the Tibetan Zampu."

His decision made Ge Bei stunned

"Brother, why is this so?" After coming back to his senses, Ge Bi hurriedly said.

"That's it, since Ye Chang Xiao'er forced me, I couldn't help him, so I let the Tang Dynasty Son deal with him for me. I don't believe that Chide Zuzan can abandon this country regardless of the fact that as long as Chide Zuzan comes to help, even if we can't defend Taihe City, retreat to Longshou Pass, or retreat to Jianchuan, there will be a day when we will come back. And not only that, I will send people to Chengdu, to Chang'an, to the Tang Dynasty, to publicize that he Ye Chang intends to secede Yunnan in order to stand on his own, and to publicize that I wanted to surrender but was forced to rebel by him. The Tang Emperor is old and suspicious, he will not be allowed to do so, and he will definitely be summoned back to Beijing."

For Ge Luofeng, this is his choice of losing both, and when there is no way out, he naturally has no choice but to make a desperate bet.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, he thought that there was indeed no way to retreat from the enemy, so he didn't rest at the moment, and went straight to find Qi Liyu. On Qili Yu was defeated at this time, and there were only more than ten soldiers left around him, he was originally very worried, lest he be sent to the Tang people by Nanzhao, and he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Non Ruozan and Tibetan Zanpu when he went back, but after listening to what Ge Pi said about Ge Luofeng's plan, he jumped up excitedly.

Although the defeat on the battlefield will be punished, if he gets Ge Luofeng to dedicate the country, he, the manager, will not have a great credit, which is enough to make up for it.

He was also anxious, so he set off overnight, and the next morning, he arrived at the Dog Rong military camp in the northwest of Erhai Lake. As soon as he arrived here, most of the excitement of the Lun Qi Liyu was lost: the camp that was originally full of people was now empty, and there were some voices, either the wails of the wounded soldiers who were dying, or the cries of the dogs who were half-mad because of the fiasco. A bleak aura enveloped the entire barracks.

When they reached the gate, they suddenly heard a cry and a plea for mercy, and then they saw more than a hundred barbarians tied up and pushed to the front of the camp gate, and one of them was cut off with a knife, and their heads were cut off and hung up. After taking a closer look, he recognized that these barbarians were the "ronins" who had taken refuge in them, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and pulled one of them and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"There is an order in the imperial history, such aliens, with no tricks, secretly colluded with the Tang people, so they were killed"

"How is this possible, they have moved to Jianchuan for more than ten or twenty years, how can they secretly collude with the Tang people......" Lun Qili Yu shouted loudly: "You guys stop, wait until I go to see the imperial history."

Those "ronins" who were lucky not to have their heads cut off suddenly shouted one by one about Qili Yu and asked him to intercede for himself. On Qili Yu hurriedly entered the camp with the pavilion, and heard that Non Ruozan was ordering to pack up his things and prepare to pull out the camp, he exclaimed: "Yushi, why is this? ”

On Ruozan turned his head and saw the pavilion at a glance, his eyes suddenly turned red: "You demon monk, you came just in time, come and drag out of the pavilion to cut it."

The left and right immediately hugged him, twisted the pavilion, and dragged him out of the camp. On Qili Yu exclaimed: "No, no, Yushi, no."

"If it weren't for this demon monk who confused us with demon methods, how would we attack the Tang army at night, how would we suffer such a big loss" On Ruozan said: "He came just right, saving me from going into the Dragon Head Pass to find him, soldiers and horses, why do you want to defend him"

"Our defeat is due to the cunning of the Tang people, not the fault of the Ge Pi Division" On Qi Li Yu persuaded bitterly: "Yu Shi, the Ge Pi Shi came this time, and he was ordered by the King of Nanzhao to sacrifice Tu Na Guo, and he must not be killed."

"Dedication to the country? The last time he came, he deceived us, and sent those spies who crossed the edict to lure us into being deceived, and I injured 20,000 people, 20,000 people."

The face of the pavilion is like the color of the earth, before he pretended to be a ghost, but he could still put a shelf of a high monk and mage, but now he is paralyzed on the ground, and he can only kowtow and beg: "It's not my business, it's not my business, it's not that we are not dedicated, it's really that the Tang Army is too cunning, who knows that the remnants of Lu Dao Yue and other edicts actually hooked up with the Tang Army?" ”

He begged bitterly, and on the other side, Qili Yu also hugged Lun Ruozan, who wanted to draw a knife and behead him with his own hands, signaled the guards to take him out of Lu first, and then said to Lun Ruozan: "Yushi, if we lose this battle, if we go back like this, how can we give an account to Zanpu, and how can we make Lun Xuanfu (the Nine Ministers of Political Affairs) not cut the authority of Yushi?" ”

When Ruozan heard this, his heart moved, and the anger gradually subsided.

"Imperial history, the only strategy is to take Nanzhao and dedicate it to Zampu, and get the land, population and wealth of Nanzhao, so that Zampu and Lun Fu will not investigate our loss of troops and generals."

After thinking for a while, Non Ruozan nodded: "What you said makes sense. ”

"That being the case, we still need barbarians to run and use, the barbarians outside, don't kill them for the time being, they have taken refuge in us for more than ten years, it is impossible to collude with the Tang State, and the real collusion with the Tang State is the guys who took refuge later......"

Speaking of this, Non Ruozan and Non Qili Yu suddenly glanced at each other, and both of them shouted at the same time: "It's not good"

"Those guys...... Sent someone to Jianchuan"

"They still have my orders in their hands"

"They are not for anything else at all, but for ...... It's for ......"

The eyes of the two widened and their faces became more and more ugly. At the beginning, they only sent the so-called old and weak to Jianchuan when Yue Xizhao sent them to Jianchuan, which was a move to reassure them, but now that they think about it carefully, is it really the only way?

Iron Bridge City

The goal of these people is obvious, it is the pass of the dog Rong in and out of Yunnan, Tieqiao City

Thinking of this, the two of them were almost distracted

If this is the case, Ye Chang's fire attack in Hedong Prefecture this time and the destruction of the Nanzhao barbarian army are just a pretense, and they are all just to conceal his true purpose

Iron Bridge Castle in the Kamigawa Prefecture

Here is the gateway road of Tibet in and out of Yunnan direction, with iron cable as the bridge, across the Mosome River (Jinsha River), after the Tang Dynasty Zhongzong Jinglong first year Tang Jiuzheng destroyed the Yangbi River Iron Bridge, here is the Tibetan force and the barbarians colluded with the necessary passage, if this is blocked, not only their tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers and horses do not want to return to their hometown, but also means that for a long time, Tibet can no longer develop its own power to Yunnan

In the area from Tieqiao to Jianchuan, Tibet was originally equipped with heavy troops, but most of these troops were brought by Non Ruozan and Non Qili Yu. Tieqiao City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is really taken by the Tang people, as long as there are hundreds of warriors stationed on it, it is thousands of troops and horses, and it is impossible to recapture it in a hurry

"Damn" Ruozan jumped up: "Come on, immediately send someone to Jianchuan to kill those barbarians, kill them all"

He shouted hoarsely, and he was also panicked, but after all, he still kept a little calm, and added: "It's those spies who are more than the edict."

To the east of Tieqiao City, there are about 100,000 people, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. Therefore, although they sent fast horses to deliver the news, they did not bother to remember and sent another cavalry to return quickly.

I didn't care about the rest, the army cleaned up a little, and then the camp rose again, as for the pavilion, even if it was about Qiliyu, I couldn't take care of him at this time.

If Tieqiao City is lost, no matter how much Nanzhao sacrifices the soil, it will not be meaningful for Tibet, and if Tieqiao City is still there, it will not be too late for them to go back and consider Nanzhao.

So in the north of Erhai Lake, first more than ten messengers galloped out, then three groups of soldiers and horses with about 1,000 horses galloped north, and then the army went north.

On the plank road leading from Jianchuan to the iron bridge, Shanzhi lifted his shirt, revealing his hairy chest, and exclaimed at the snow-capped mountains everywhere in front and back, left and right: "It's already such a season, you see, those mountains are still snowy."

"Hehe, Jiannan, Yunnan, most of these snow-capped mountains, Eleven Lang said, the mountain is high and short, so this person has a lot of discomfort during walking, but the local people are here all the year round, and they are used to it."

He who speaks directly with the good is the one who is suitable.

The magnificent scenery of the rivers and mountains in front of him was the easiest to inspire poetry, but at this time he had no intention of chanting poetry, he was thinking about something else.

At the beginning, Ye Chang fought for an official position for him, and after he was given the post of secretary of Jiannan Jiedu, he was not very ambitious in Jiannan, and exchanged letters with Ye Chang, and Ye Chang asked him to ask for a soldier and horse envoy. Out of trust in Ye Chang, he left Chengdu and went to the border.

According to Ye Chang's suggestion, he recruited the local Han and barbarian tribes, selected the elite, strong and agile, and it took four years before and after to train the current army of 1,500 people. Ye Chang called him a "mountain soldier", and he was accustomed to marching and fighting in the lofty mountains and plateaus.

Originally, he thought that it would not be so easy for him to come in handy, but he never thought that after only four years, Ye Chang would come here from Liaodong. Sometimes Gao Shi even wondered if Ye Chang had foresight and could anticipate the opportunity, so he let him prepare early.

When he asked Ye Chang for battle, Ye Chang did not let his army fight the barbarians, but gave him an extremely bold and thrilling mission: to fly to capture Iron Bridge City.

If this strategy is successful, half of the major events in the southwest will be decided, and then it will return to the battle for Anjung City (known as Sanssouci City in Tibet). The offensive and defensive situation of Datang and Inu Rong in the southwest is about to be replaced.

It's just that with their own 1,500 people, and the hundreds of barbarians who are with them, can they really succeed?

Gao Shi couldn't help but look at those barbarians, along the way, they were obedient, and in occasional conversations, they admired Ye Chang's attitude very much, but Gao Shi knew that this kind of admiration was indirect, from their leader, Ashima, who was called "Princess".

Now the woman is in the team.

Although she was a woman, she was hard-working and not inferior to a man, and she had been marching for two days, almost day and night, and more than 20 people had lost their lives because they had accidentally fallen into a mountain bank or a river valley, but this woman did not take a step.

"Ashima, look, look, that's the messenger of the Dogjung"

Gao Shi was wondering what was the reason why this barbarian girl could have such perseverance, when he suddenly heard a barbarian scream.

Gao Shi followed the prestige, and at the foot of the mountain, the three horsemen galloped over, and the fire burned like a fire.

"Gao Langjun, what do you say should be done?" Ashima knew that he couldn't command the battle, so he asked Gao Shi.

"If you capture it, you will kill it if you ask for a confession." Gao Shi is unrelenting.

He has been in Jiannan for a few years, and he knows very well how these dogs are harming the southwest, and he understands that if it is allowed to develop, Jiannan, which was originally the rear of the Tang Dynasty, may become a quagmire that drags down the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he does not have any soft thoughts towards the dog Rong.

It didn't take long for the three dog messengers to be killed and wounded, and the injured were dragged in front of Gao Shi.

"Why are you here?" Gao Shi asked someone.

"Phew" the canurong messenger spat and did not answer.

Gao Shi kicked over, shattered a few of his teeth, and then turned to the other person: "Why did you come?" ”

The other person was full of resentment and glared at Gao Shi: "The army will come over immediately, you spies, don't want to live, our brothers, we will catch up with you before we reach Iron Bridge City and kill you all."

Hearing him say this, Gao Shi drew his sword and stabbed him to death directly, and another messenger was immediately killed by the Tang army at Gao Shi's signal.

"I haven't asked ...... for the export yet," Ashima was a little surprised.

"No need, they were sent by General Dog Rong to police the periphery, and our identities have been exposed." Gao Shi said with a smile: "Now we have to speed up, don't catch up with the dog Rong chasing soldiers, as long as we advance to Tieqiao City, then it's done."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shanzhi: "Shanzhi Master, Eleven Lang sent you here, it can be seen that it is inevitable, I ask you to take two hundred people, only bring two days of rations, take Tieqiao City first, and I will come later, what do you think?" ”

"No" replied sharply.
