Chapter 1002: The Tree Falls and Scatters

In fact, these people say a thousand things and ten thousand, it is nothing more than a fear of death, the relationship between the king of Zhennan and the king is known to everyone, almost a head out of a dog's brain, if you say that you listen to the king's orders, it is really a bit nonsense.

If it weren't for the Tang army coming, even if the king himself stood at the gate of the barracks, they would not have been able to hand over their territory.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be something wrong with this holy decree, no matter how much the king relies on the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to hand over all the strategic points under his command to the Tang army, which is equivalent to putting his lifeblood in the hands of others, will the king be so stupid?

But what can they do when they see it? Can we resist it? Just look at the imposing Tang troops outside the barracks, and it's obvious that they salute first and then soldiers.

Either you take the holy decree and open the camp gate, and when the army of the Tang Dynasty takes over here, you will distribute the road expenses to those who should distribute the travel expenses, and if you are willing to work, there will be work for you.

Either you will pick up your own weapons and fight the Tang army to the end, but whether you can save your life depends on whether your ancestral tomb is smoking, and there is a 90% chance that you will not be able to save your life, this is the consensus reached by everyone.

Except for the three military camps where there were battles, the other military camps basically put down their weapons honestly, the original 3,000-person barracks, now there are less than 700 people in it, and the rest of the people have been transferred away by the king of Zhennan, and the remaining 700 people don't have much combat ability, how dare they resist?

So even if they guessed that there was a problem with the holy decree in front of them, they regarded this holy decree as if there was no problem, and honestly handed over to the Tang army, and then everyone got the three times of money, honestly threw down the armor on their bodies, and then went back to their hometown, if someone pursues it, then it is impossible to go back to their hometown to arrest us.

What's more, according to their estimates, it is impossible for the Tang army to come out after entering, and whether the Nanzhao Imperial Court will exist in the future may still be unknown, who will pursue us?

It took about two days for Li Xiang to receive a report from everyone, a total of 16 military camps and key strongholds in the whole country of Nanzhao were all taken by the Tang Dynasty army at this moment, and the three military camps that resisted were all wiped out, killing and wounding more than 1,300 people in total, and capturing more than 1,100 people.

According to the report of his subordinate generals, the combat effectiveness of the Nanzhao army is not our opponent at all, all of our dispatches are the army of the four major Tusi, and their army is still far from the real Tang army, but even if they are put on the front line, they can easily crush the Nanzhao army.

Earlier, Li Xiang knew that because Nanzhao had been peaceful for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the army was not very good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

According to the feedback from various places, Li Xiang also quickly made changes, asking Qian Ping and Qin Huaiyu to meet the king and the king of Zhennan again, telling them the real situation in the country now, and asking them to continue to be good puppets.

Originally, Li Xiang still wanted to be tactful, at least let them mention this matter themselves after a while, but seeing that the army of Nanzhao Kingdom is so useless, and it has also undergone actual combat training, there is no need to continue to pretend, when your strength is not good, you are not even qualified to protect the country.

Nanzhao Palace

Qin Huaiyu only pulled out a few key people and asked them to show their faces in front of King Nanzhao, some of these people were clean, and some were still bloody, and those with blood must have resisted, the reason why they were not killed on the spot was also to make the king believe that we had indeed taken your military camp.

"General Qin, what do you mean by this?"

King Nanzhao guessed it in his heart, but he still couldn't believe it, according to his thoughts, you are the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, how can you look at a small remote border country like us, and now you are still doing such a thing to seize our land, this is really a bit excessive, to put it bluntly, I treat you as a father, and you are actually worried about your son's property.

"What do we mean? It is best to have the land in your own hands, and our Highness's ambition is not here, but you are on the way to our Highness's goal, for the safety of our future army, we can only take you. ”

Qin Huaiyu said very explicitly, there was a little bit of a cover-up before, but now that the people below have already done it, what else is there to hide, from the marriage of His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, to the present, isn't it this moment?

"But you ......"

King Nanzhao didn't know what to say, although he had long known that Datang would have a plan, but he didn't expect that people were planning your entire country, I thought that Datang only wanted to get some benefits on this land, but now I know that people want everything, and we are not at the same level as others.

"The old body has said a long time ago, what they want is definitely not that little benefit, you and your brother just don't listen to me, now it's okay, this is called luring the wolf into the house."

King Nanzhao was paralyzed on the ground, an old lady's voice sounded at the door, Qin Huaiyu looked up, this is the queen mother of Nanzhao Kingdom, perhaps in the entire dynasty system, the queen mother is the only one to see clearly, but everyone thinks that the queen mother is mediocre, and they can't understand the current situation at all, and then they are unwilling to be enemies of Datang in their hearts, even if they know that Datang has some ill intentions, but they still don't want to doubt this matter, and they just want to live a good life with their heads covered, and now is their end.

"Mother's ......"

King Nanzhao also regrets it now, but it's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, you and your younger brother have made this country like this, the border defense system of the whole country is useless, and the Tang army is still invited by you, this is easy to invite God, and it is difficult to send God.

"It's too late to say anything now, let's go and discuss with the people of Datang and try to save the lives of our family."

The old lady is really wise, and at this time she also knows that it is useless to say anything else, and saving the life of the whole family is the most important thing.

"Your old man, please rest assured, our Royal Highness the Imperial Sun has the virtue of a good life, as long as the king can listen to us well, there are some things we will not do too much, just refer to the royal families of the countries in the Western Regions."

Qin Huaiyu also bent over rarely, which was a sign of respect for the old man.
