Chapter 979: The army enters Nanzhao
The attendant next to him wanted to explain to the old lady that the wife and daughter of the king of Zhennan had been thrown off the city wall, and if there was no such thing, maybe it would have been just the death of some soldiers and civilians, and the old lady could stand up and make peace with this matter.
But now that it has been stained with the blood of the family, no matter what method the old lady uses, I am afraid that the two sons will not be able to reconcile, so the entourage next to him simply shut his mouth, as if this incident has not happened, if he insists on explaining, maybe he will have to suffer.
Now the two sons' requests are obvious, the eldest son wants to continue to persevere, rely on the high walls of the palace, and then continue to resist the attack of the king of Zhennan, wait for the arrival of the Tang army, and then use the strength of the Tang army to defeat his second brother in one fell swoop.
The youngest son wants to fight quickly, although the younger son also has some people who can help within the Tang Dynasty, but the younger son can still distinguish clearly, and must not let the army of the Tang Dynasty come over to mix, if the army of the Tang Dynasty comes to mix, there will be only one winner in the end, that is, the Tang Dynasty.
Although the king of Zhennan thought very clearly, there were some things that he could never decide, for example, at this moment, from Sichuan to the border of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Qin Huaiyu had already arrived here with more than 20,000 troops under his command, and there were not many troops in the border area of Nanzhao, but they still stubbornly went up, and did not receive orders from above, so these people could not enter the territory of Nanzhao.
Qin Huaiyu led two thousand vanguard troops to arrive here first, there are more than 700 people on the side of Nanzhao This is the border they defended, mainly in the past, I believe in Datang too much, although the four major toasts have been cleaned up by Datang, but we have just married Datang, is Datang going to tear up the agreement and invade us now?
"This general, further forward is our Nanzhao's territory, please return to this general."
There has been no conflict yet, so the generals of Nanzhao are still very polite, they have always admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty, plus Li Xiang has just left here, they think that today is likely to be a misunderstanding, the Tang army often trains around, and there are occasional things that cross the line, but they will soon be withdrawn, but today the situation is not quite right, because they are coming directly towards the checkpoint.
"See clearly, this letter is a personal letter from your Royal Highness the King, His Royal Highness said that there was a rebellion in your Nanzhao Royal City, so write to our Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, and let our Imperial Highness help him quell the rebellion, and now we don't know what is going on, so our Imperial Highness ordered me to bring two thousand troops to check, can't even the surname of your Royal Highness the King be counted?"
Qin Huaiyu originally wanted to go over directly, but if that was the case, from here all the way to Nanzhao Wangcheng, there were still several checkpoints in the middle, so you can't call them all over, let's see if this letter is useful, Li Xiang also said when he left, if this letter is useful, wouldn't it save you a lot of trouble? Horizontal and vertical is the kung fu of asking in the past, if you don't want to, you can fight again when the time comes.
"The general may have been deceived, our Nanzhao King City is safe, how can there be a rebellion? Our King Zhennan and our King are brothers, even if there are rebels, our King Zhennan will help His Royal Highness the King to quell the rebellion, the general still retreats first, wait for me to write a letter of resignation, ask clearly, and then personally go to the general's barracks to explain. ”
The general of Nanzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said these words Obviously, he is the subordinate of the king of Zhennan, if it is the king's subordinates, open the country immediately and let these people pass, and they have to lead the way for these people in front, only the people of the king of Zhennan will stop them from passing, because now the king of Zhennan has the upper hand.
Of course, if the king of Zhennan is suppressed, then it must be the king of Zhennan who asks for assistance, and then His Royal Highness the king will not allow the Tang army to enter, and Li Xiang has long figured out this situation.
In the hearts of the two brothers, if anyone is destroyed, then they will be close to the Tang Dynasty, but if anyone can control the situation, the Tang army will be a bit of a hindrance in the past, but Li Xiang has always held the initiative, no matter which of you two brothers can control the situation, our Datang army will pass when it says the past, and it does not exist in your consent.
Seeing that these people in front of him were not allowed to go, Qin Huaiyu sneered, and the general of Nanzhao also felt the temperature around him drop, he knew that the person in front of him was the major general of the Tang Dynasty, this is not an ordinary person from a family of military generals, and if he disagrees, he will start fighting.
"The general must not act rashly, this is a matter between the two countries......"
Nanzhao's general slowly put his hand on the handle of the knife, but unfortunately his movements were too slow, and before he could pull out the knife, Qin Huaiyu had already cut off this guy's head, and the army behind immediately dodged to both sides, and more than two hundred people carrying serial slaves rushed out in the middle.
Before the soldiers of Nanzhao understood what was going on, a large number of arrows were shot out from the left and right sides of Qin Huaiyu, the speed of these arrows was very fast, and the penetration ability was also very strong, the soldiers of Nanzhao generally did not have armor, these arrows would stop on the third person's body, and there were already two dead people in front.
There are not many people in the border area itself, and there are only a few hundred people here, and most of them have been solved by relying on serial slaves alone, Qin Huaiyu waved the war knife in his hand, and the cavalry behind rushed up in a swarm, and the rest of the people were solved by dividing five by two.
"Your hundred-man team stays to guard this pass, let the army behind drive in directly, inform the generals behind, don't rest after you get here, follow the mark I left to chase me, and hurry to Nanzhao Wangcheng in the starry night."
Before the words were finished, Qin Huaiyu was already twenty meters away, and the cavalry behind them also hurriedly caught up, except for a team of 100 people left, the others were afraid that they would run slowly, if they didn't get closer to the front just now, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight.
After this short conflict, they also saw that the combat effectiveness of the army of the Nanzhao Kingdom was almost scum, and the two sides had a hard encounter, but only four people died on our side, and the difference in strength was too great......
