The area south of Shuzhong is extremely vast, from Chengdu to travel 2,000 miles to Cangshan and Erhai Lake.

Go south for 3,000 miles to Yongzhou.

These two thousand miles to the west and three thousand miles to the north are what people generally consider to be the great southwest.

It is densely forested and has many rivers, and although the products are not abundant, it is very beautiful.

Just for this point, Yun Chu was unwilling to let this land separate from Datang's body.

Just like Yun Chu thought before, not all the fans of Nanzhao Sheng Luopi in such a vast land.

When he, the general manager of the Jiannan Road march, had not yet arrived in Chengdu, Chengdu had already released the news that Yun Chu had invited the forest tribe to discuss major matters together.

By the time Yun Chu arrived in Dujiangyan, there were already a lot of forest tribesmen here Huo Cheng came earlier than Yun Chu, and with the help of the shopkeepers of the southwest tribes all the year round, Huo Cheng had already done a lot of business with the patriarchs of the various tribes who arrived in advance.

He even bought ten elephants.

Yun Chu is now standing in front of the elephant.

In that world a long time ago, elephants in Chengdu could not survive unless they were in a zoo, and now Shuzhong is different, elephants are a scourge in the forests to the south.

The reason why it is said to be a disaster is mainly that there are too many of these things in the forest, plus the life is long, and there are no natural enemies.

However, it is precisely because of the presence of elephants that there are some paths that can be passed through in the dense forests in the southwest.

The forest Asian elephant in front of Yun Chu was not as tall as the African steppe elephant that Yun Chu had seen before, but in the eyes of the Tang people, this thing was already a behemoth.

Chang'an originally had a white elephant, and when Li Zhi moved to Luoyang, he took the white elephant with him, which caused the people of Chang'an to never have the opportunity to see the elephant again.

Seeing that the elephant's feet were tied to iron chains, and the iron chains had even penetrated deep into the elephant's muscles, and the link places were even fleshy, Yun Chu asked the elephant slave to untie the iron chains and replace them with a cowhide rope in the place where the iron chains were originally tied.

The elephant slave was terrified when he untied the chain, and the cowhide rope was tied to a man and a tiger, but the baby elephant was like a goshawk tied with a silk thread.

When the chain was lifted, the elephants raised their noses and called loudly, and happily circled in place, just when the elephant slaves thought that the elephants would take the opportunity to escape, unexpectedly, the elephants seemed to be just celebrating their freedom from the shackles, the range of activities was still within the range of the chains, and the cowhide rope that was like a silk thread to them was not torn off.

When Yun Chu even tried to pull away the oldest female elephant, the female elephant actually followed him honestly.

When passing by a family's vegetable gourd field that had not been harvested, Yun Chu picked those vegetable gourds and threw them into the mouth of the female elephant led by one one after another.

After the female elephant at the head ate four or five gourds in a row, she deliberately moved out of her position to facilitate Yun Chu to feed the elephants behind, and seeing that one hundred and ten crisp and juicy vegetable gourds were eaten clean by ten elephants, Yun Chu finally figured out the members of this group of elephants.

The herd is basically made up of female elephants, the youngest of whom is not even ten years old, with a pair of tusks no more than half a foot long on the side of his mouth, which is supposed to be a male elephant.

Judging from the fact that the mother elephant took care of the rest of the elephants, they should have been a herd of elephants in the first place, and they did not know how the elephant seller managed to wipe out the entire herd.

The elephant was too dirty, Yun Chu took the elephant to a small river, and the elephants happily sucked water with their noses in the river water and sprayed each other, under the coercion of Yun Chu, those poor Chang'an guards had to follow down the river and use a huge brush to bathe the elephant's body.

At first, they thought that the elephants would hurt people, but after a while, the guards felt that the elephants seemed to know what was going on and would not hurt the people who helped them bathe.

Because for Yun Chu, who has raised sheep, sloths, and wolves since he was a child, the best and fastest way to tame these beasts is to constantly feed them food.

As long as the beast accepts the feeding, that

Well, the relationship of dependence has been reached.

The cabbage in Shu doesn't seem to grow as big as Chang'an, but it's not small, five or six catties are still available, and this thing is the top delicacy that Yunchu rewarded to elephants.

Seeing that the elephant opened its terrifying mouth and ate the whole cabbage and cabbage, and was still muttering with joy, Yun Chu knew that these elephants, who had been tamed by elephant slaves, were now beginning to like themselves.

For five days in a row, Yun Chu had been with the elephant except for military affairs, and now, he could command the elephant to put down his nose and let him step on his nose and be sent to the back by the elephant.

Li Yuance saw that Yun Chu was once again sent to his back by an elephant, and couldn't help but say to Jiang Xie: He has no intention of fighting.

Jiang Xiedao: Yes, he really has no plans to fight with Sheng Luopi, these days the wild people in the forest are coming more and more, Yun Chu even saw a village owner who didn't know where he was, the patriarch smiled and groaned, not only that, but he also asked people what specialties there were, and whether there were any good things that could be exchanged with the merchants.

He also told people that as long as they felt that something was valuable, they could try it, and among them, the pictures of herbs, he was simply giving them to those wild people without money.

It seems that Dashuai is ready to use Fu without slashing this time.

Li Yuance said: Since he doesn't want to fight, what are the two of us doing here.

Then he waved his hand and went back to his tent.

Yun Chu did not stay in the tent at night, but set up a small tent that one person could carry away, and slept among the elephants, and through the contact of the past few days, the elephants had allowed him to sleep in the core position with the little male elephant.

Yun Chu actually had very little sleep time, and the lights in that small tent would often be on until three watches, and a few times, almost all night until dawn.

Every time he comes into contact with those savages, Yun Chu will definitely record a lot of things when he comes back, and at the same time, he will also convene a lot of businessmen who specialize in running the southwest trade road to discuss, and when he encounters something new, he will carefully record it.

Pi Luo Ge came to ask for sin, and besides, this young man who liked to go barefoot came to see Yun Chu with the mentality of death.

Yun Chu said with pity after seeing this young man: Are you Sheng Luopi's most unsuccessful son?

Pi Luoge's Tang dialect is good, and he stroked his chest and said: If my humble life can calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty, I am Sheng Luopi's proudest son.

Yun Chu circled around Pi Luo Ge, like a tiger circling around its prey, he could see very clearly, the hair on the back of Pi Luo Ge's neck had stood up high, and the muscles on his bare feet were tense, and he seemed to be jumping out with all his strength in the next moment, and he didn't know where the courage came from, so he suppressed the desire to escape, and obediently stayed where he was.

Yun Chu did not kill Pi Luoge, but said regretfully: If one hero in this world dies, there will be one less, you go back, and let your father send a better son to come and die.

Datang's 8,000 iron armor died in the hands of your father, and it is impossible for him not to give Datang an explanation.

Pi Luoge's face was pale, and he could barely restrain his body from trembling, but the sweat on his forehead was dripping, but his mouth was still stubborn: Every son of Sheng Luopi is a warrior, just for the sake of the southwestern tribes from being invaded by sword soldiers, I am willing to die.

Yun Chu pressed his hand on Pi Luoge's shoulder and said softly: You are too young, there are still infinite possibilities in the future, you have not enjoyed the taste of love, you have not tasted the joy of being a father, and it is a pity that you are dead now.

I need an explanation here, an explanation of the past, and it would be unfair to you as a young man that your father would send an offering of equal value, without having to compensate him with the life of his beloved son.

Pi Luo Ge looked at Yun Chu and said: Will the Tang Dynasty give the Nanzhao people a fairness?

Yun Chu said with a smile: My Tang Dynasty is a big country, and I have always cherished every feudal country, treated every feudal country, and cherished it as if it were my own son.

Pi Luo Ge said in a trembling voice: "Then, killing my people, killing my people, taking my people captive, and even piercing babies with spears, burning villages with fire, and taking them away is not much

food, take away the last piece of animal skin on their bodies that can protect them from the cold, whip my people, enslave my people, force them to mine in the pit, even if the heavy rain does not allow them to have a moment of rest, is this the fairness of the Tang Dynasty to Nanzhao?

Yun Chu sighed and said: The officials in Shu have not been governed for many years, and there are also those corrupt officials who enslave the people of Nanzhao and persecute the people of Nanzhao for their own selfishness.

However, you must believe that the monarchs of the Tang Dynasty are wise, benevolent, and fair, although they are thousands of miles away, the pain of the people of Nanzhao is still in their eyes.

Therefore, I came to the southwest this time, not to conquer the southwest, but to compensate the people in the southwest.

Now, you should have heard that the city of Chengdu is actively rectifying those corrupt officials who not only hurt your Nanzhao, but also hurt the people of Shuzhong.

Chengdu Governor Yang Wenhua is dead, his head is still hanging in the city of Chengdu, and soon, the filthy monks of Wenshu Monastery who robbed your sisters will also die, and the corrupt officials who are still resisting will die soon.

I think if you stay here a little longer, the people you hate, who we hate, will disappear from this world.

Pi Luoge looked at Yun Chu in confusion and said: Is Datang really so good?

Yun Chu said with a smile: You just don't have the opportunity to go to Chang'an to see, go to Luoyang to see, if you see these two places, you can't help but fall in love with Datang, and even want to die in Datang.

Pi Luo Ge was still puzzled and said: You are not here to fight?

Yun Chu pointed to the mountains of materials piled up outside, and said: Are there people who have brought so many things to fight? You go back and tell your father Sheng Luopi to send the corpses of my soldiers who died in battle, and then send a batch of culprits who killed my Tang Dynasty warriors, and we can immediately barter happily and make a good deal."
