When the Tang Dynasty actually controlled Jiannan, it immediately sent his subordinate Zhuan Yi to return to Nanzhao in person, reported the matter to Li Gesang, and attached a letter from the Tang Dynasty himself, to the effect that Jiannan was under control, and so on.

Li Gesang was overjoyed and immediately ordered the imperial governor Tie Ning to write an edict, sealing the Tang Dynasty as the crown prince of Nanzhao and inheriting the Nanzhao world in the future, and there was an additional edict, saying that if the Tang Dynasty could control the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan when it attacked the Tang Dynasty in the future, the Tang Dynasty would be crowned the king of the southwest.

Tie Ning, who was dedicated and passed the edict, soon came to the Jiannan army, and Tie Ning immediately read out the edict of His Majesty Li Gesang, and the Tang Dynasty knelt down to take it, and his heart was overjoyed.

But then he also had a faint worry, Li Gesang is a man of great talent, and now he has not made much credit for Nanzhao, but he has already passed on the position of the prince who has been vacant for a long time to himself.

There is naturally a sense of wooing, but the most important thing is an ambition to dominate the world.

Strange, the Tang Dynasty suddenly felt a kind of fear: the emperor treated me so well, married his two princesses to me, and named himself a foreign surname to inherit the crown prince, the reward is too much, will it leave a disaster?

After weighing the grace of Li Gesang and his own life-saving grace to him, the Tang Dynasty immediately felt that Li Gesang was too good to him, after all, even if he had a life-saving grace for the emperor of a country, but the high-ranking officials were okay, where could they talk about marrying the two princesses and inheriting the throne in the future!

He also named me Southwest.

This is a tempting position, if you really occupy the southwest, then the place controlled by your subordinates will be far greater than that of Nanzhao, and when the time comes, will I still obey Li Gesang's orders?

But then he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he only felt that such an idea was very dirty, Li Gesang sent the two princesses and Jiangshan Sheji, and he was not satisfied, it seemed a little too shameless!

Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty was happy when he received Li Gesang's edict, but it was said that Wolf Zhengxuan, the head stone guard general and the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Zhao Dynasty, was also ecstatic when he heard the news, and he was excited when he thought that the plan to lay down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with the Tang Dynasty was about to be realized.

At such a time, the messenger of the Tang Dynasty, disguised as an ordinary soldier, came to the Wolf Zhengxuan army and told the plan of the Tang Dynasty in the form of a message.

"Tang Dashuai wants you to attack him!"

"What?"

When he first heard this, Wolf Zhengxuan thought that his ears had heard it wrong.

"Wolf Marshal, you heard you right. The Tang Dynasty really wants you to lead troops to 'attack' him. When he said this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, I see, what does he mean is to tell me to lead troops to pretend to attack him, and then act on camera?"

Wolf Zhengxuan laughed, the Tang Dynasty used to be his opponent, he knew that he was powerful, so he thought that the Tang Dynasty must be going to use a strategy, but he didn't know it, he couldn't help but look forward to it, and sighed: "If you see the Tang Dynasty in person, you should fight with him!" ”

I don't know why, the thought of working with someone like Tang Chao made him feel the urge to drink.

"Tang Dashuai also really wants to drink spirits with Wolf Dashuai, but because of the many official duties, and most importantly, he is afraid of arousing Li Longji's suspicions, so he sent a kid to contact him, hoping that Wolf Dashuai will forgive me?"

Wolf Zhengxuan is famous in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and has more powerful martial arts, although he is more strategic, but Xing Ge is a very tough person, thinking of military affairs, the Tang Dynasty itself did not come, only sent one of his generals to come, so he was very depressed in his heart, and now when he heard Zhuanyi say this, he was suddenly relieved in his heart, and secretly blamed himself: How can I not take into account the overall situation, the more secret the identity of the Tang Dynasty is, the greater the benefits of Nanzhao in the future, I think so, but it seems narrow-minded.

Hurriedly said: "Say it quickly." What are his arrangements? ”

"Wolf Marshal, you are right, Tang Marshal said that you want to take a small number of troops to attack Jiannan, and you must not easily withdraw the power to deter the Tang Dynasty's frontiers, he will use the floating plow as a place to store grain, and tell you to send someone to occupy the floating plow in a short period of time, and remove all the grain, when the time comes, he will bring the troops, you will pretend to be defeated, and pretend to be defeated and leave, so that the Tang Dynasty Marshal can be rewarded when he reports to Li Longji!"

"Haha, what a plan!"

After listening to this, Wolf Zhengxuan laughed loudly, grabbed a cowhide bag of wine beside him, leaned his neck, drank it with a gurgling voice, and then threw the wine bag on the ground, sighing: "The talent of the Tang Dynasty, I know it well, but I always don't admit defeat, I always want to fight with him one day, but just now I heard this, I am completely defeated, hey!" ”

When he said this, Wolf Zhengxuan, who was around fifty, had a very strange look on his face, a little appreciative, a little jealous.

Then, suddenly, he said, "Good! You don't need to say it anymore, I already understand what the Tang Dynasty meant, he is going to send me military weapons, grain and grass, hey, the parents of those who gave birth to me, and the Tang Dynasty who knows me! In the past few years, I have fought with Gao Xianling, Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Lu Lun and Xian Yu Zhongtong, and fought for many years. Although we have accumulated a lot in the past 20 years, after all, compared with a big country like the Tang Dynasty, we are much inferior, and now he knows our difficulties, and it is really timely to send us weapons and grain and grass, but I still have a small question, where did he get so many weapons and grain and grass? ”

"Back to Dashuai, the Tang Dynasty Marshal asked me to tell you, he fought a lot of victories in Lingnan and the Western Regions, and got a lot of weapons, money and food, knowing that the emperor rewarded him, he was grateful, so, in order to show his loyalty, he deliberately gave all his savings over the years to Nanzhao, just to be able to hide people's eyes, this is why Dashuai you faked defeat once, things that damage your prestige, and please bear with Dashuai, please understand his hard work, he is also a last resort, he gave all his savings to Nanzhao, If you can't ask for food and grass from Yang Guozhong, the army won't be able to bring it! ”

Wolf Zhengxuan sighed: "Yes! He will be the emperor of my Nanzhao in the future, and I am also his people, and I still care about what to do so much, in fact, he did this, although on the surface our Nanzhao was defeated, but in fact it was a big profit, and he could also paralyze Li Longji because of this, so that he could take the Jiannan war lightly. ”

Zhuan Yi has been watching the change in Wolf Zhengxuan's face, after seeing him say this, there was a sense of depression in his eyebrows, and he was funny in his heart, thinking of the Tang Dynasty's instructions, he hurriedly said: "Thank you Wolf Marshal for understanding, Tang Dashuai said when he was leaving, you have made great contributions to Nanzhao, if you fight a big defeat, even if it is nominally, it will shake the heart of the Nanzhao army, so Tang Dynasty Marshal said, I want you to hide or return to Dali, and temporarily hand over the position of the commander to Tie Ning, the head of the Imperial Forest Army, to take over, and when the time comes, the responsibility for the defeat of the army will be on him, And not on you. ”

Wolf Zhengxuan was overjoyed, after all, he was open-minded, but a generalissimo with great military achievements, if he went out and fought a big defeat, his prestige would plummet. But Tie Ning is different, although Tie Ning is also strong in martial arts and can lead troops, his influence in the army is not very great, and he is not a god-like existence like Wolf Zhengxuan.

Since the last time Wolf Zhengxuan's elite soldiers defeated Zhang Qiu and Qiong in the head stone, and then occupied a large territory of Guizhou and Bashu, in the Nanzhao army, Wolf Zhengxuan is the existence of a god.

Once he is defeated, even if he gets more grain, grass and weapons, it will be a loss.

But this move of the Tang Dynasty shifted the responsibility to Tie Ning. Although Tie Ning's prestige is nothing, after all, he will go back to be the head of his Imperial Forest Army in the future.

Wolf Zhengxuan nodded and sighed: "The Tang Dynasty has the talent of an emperor, I follow him, I am not ashamed, good!" You go back immediately and tell him that General Tie is invited to come to the Nanzhao army as soon as possible, and I am going to play a play that makes a living out of nothing. ”

"What do you mean by making something out of nothing?" I couldn't help but be curious.

Wolf Zhengxuan smiled incomprehensibly: "You may not understand what I said, but the Tang Dynasty Marshal must understand, you go back and ask him." Drop-off! ”

Dedication came out, very dissatisfied with the arrogance of Wolf Zhengxuan, and thought, although you are strong in martial arts, and you are the highest official position at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but I am also a prince of one party, it seems wrong for you to treat me like this, but I can't care about it, I returned to the Tang Dynasty camp and secretly reported the matter to the Tang Dynasty.

When Tang Chao heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, I know what he means, he is pretending to have a conflict with Tie Ning, and by the way, he will have a conflict with Li Gesang, thinking that they are not in harmony with the monarch and ministers, if I am not mistaken, he will definitely make the matter as big as possible, so that those spies in Nanzhao know about this matter, so as to repay Li Longji, but he doesn't have to worry, even if those stupid and stupid spies can't hear it, Ben Shuai will still report the news to Li Longji." ”

Zhuan Yi immediately said something about Wolf Zhengxuan's bad face, Tang Chao listened to it, and laughed: "What do you know, a person who has held military power for a long time, suddenly wants to let go, and anyone is a little reluctant, how can he be angry with you, this is a kind of human instinct." ”

Zhuan Yi immediately resigned and informed Tie Ning of his upcoming appointment as generalissimo of Nanzhao.

The Tang Dynasty was alone in the tent, and his mood was very complicated, my plan to kill three birds with one stone, could it be that Wolf Zhengxuan had already seen it?

In fact, when it was arranged in this way, the Tang Dynasty clearly had three purposes.

First, to control the soldiers and horses in their own hands as much as possible, the Jiannan army is less than 100,000, and it is more than enough to occupy the southwest, but to unify the world, it seems that the troops are weak, at least 200,000 troops, like Cao Cao back then, so it is necessary to control the 100,000 defenders of Nanzhao in their own hands.

Second, he wanted to show his loyalty to Li Gesang, so he sent millions of money to Nanzhao.

Third, it is necessary to squeeze out Wolf Zhengxuan, who has held great power in the army for a long time, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to truly control this army in the future, although he is now a quasi-emperor, and he has the power to directly deprive Wolf Zhengxuan of Shuai Yinzi, but he knows that he must not do that.

The Anshi Rebellion is about to explode, if history is not mistaken? Tang Chao muttered this sentence in his heart, and there was a feeling of impulse and excitement in his heart, maybe, maybe my Tang Dynasty can really unify the world?

Please support, thank you!
