Chapter 52 Riding a Tiger is Difficult

Zhuan Xin went to the Chengdu army with a letter from the Tang Dynasty and met with Wolf Zhengxuan, who was in a deep battle with Li Longji.

After reading the letter, Wolf Zhengxuan quickly handed it over to Li Gesang.

Li Gesang was depressed for the past few days, and was dragged by Li Longji's army, and it was useless to advance, and he was unwilling to retreat, which was quite a dilemma.

Since Li Gesang entered the interior of the Tang Dynasty, although he robbed a lot of materials and beauties, it was very angry that most of the officials of the Tang Dynasty saw the Nanzhao army, without exception, they stepped up their defense and transferred materials, which made it very difficult for them to occupy the county towns in the Central Plains.

Of course, if Li Gesang wants to, he can attack by force. With the lax defense of the Tang Dynasty at this time, it was logical to get a lot of cities, but Li Gesang did not do this, and he directly pursued Li Longji.

To be honest, if Li Longji hadn't happened to meet Xianyu Zhongtong, who was about to surrender in the Mianzhu area, maybe the 50,000 troops in Jiannan would have disappeared and become a rogue, but Li Longji's arrival saved this army and saved Xianyu Zhongtong.

It was precisely because of this army that Li Longji fortified the plank road and repelled Li Gesang's cavalry several times.

Soldiers are fast. After the previous waves of offensives were disintegrated, Li Gesang and Li Longji took Jianmen Pass as the boundary and launched a tough battle for nearly two months.

Helplessly, even though the combat effectiveness of Li Gesang's army was much higher than that of Li Longji, it was still difficult to advance due to the natural dangers in Shuzhong. On the contrary, the troops from King Qin of the Central Plains came to Li Longji's army in an endless stream, and the war may drag into a stalemate.

Just when it was difficult to ride a tiger, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty brought the letter. The book is slightly said: Nanzhao undertook the prince Tang Dynasty book to submit to His Majesty Nanzhao, the past, the boy lived in the country, and he was made by grace, and he was still with two princesses. However, today, the four seas are falling apart, the heroes are flocking, thinking of Mingjun, although the Tang Dynasty is not talented, but to have the ambition of Kuang Fu Sheji, now occupy Chang'an, newly collect 300,000 troops, and An Lushan, Guo Ziyi and other generations to compete for the world, if it is done, the name will be immortal, Ze is born; If it doesn't work, then the only way to sacrifice one's meager life is to sacrifice one's life. Your Majesty is the lord of the Southern Zhao, I am a dignified Han in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no way to talk about the words of retribution, if Your Majesty can understand the aspirations of the contemptible, it is better to maintain an alliance with me and marry Qin and Jin forever. If one day the contemptible people really win the world, they will not hurt half of the land of Nanzhao. I hope that Your Majesty will be judged. ”

The more Li Gesang looked at it, the more angry he became, and when he saw the end, his eyes suddenly widened, and with a wave of his hands, he tore the letter to shreds and turned it into a piece of flying butterflies: "It's the opposite!" How dare this kid in the Tang Dynasty betray me? ”

He was naturally a little surprised, he had just sent an envoy to contact An Lushan on the front foot, and he didn't expect that this guy seemed to know his conspiracy first, and he actually came here.

"Your Majesty. Before leaving, the general of the Tang Dynasty repeatedly explained to me, saying that His Majesty treated him with great kindness, but he was a Han and did not want to obey the orders of foreign monarchs. He said that he was not a man who forgot his roots. ”

"Fart! This is a naked-naked-naked betrayal, in vain I took him seriously, and married two princesses who were like flowers and jades to him, throughout the ages, no matter which dynasty or generation, there is rarely such a situation, he actually betrayed me, it is really better to be a pig and a dog, hmph, do you know what he said in his letter? He actually brazenly said that he would not hurt my Nanzhao in the future, and would not infringe on the land of my Nanzhao. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. ”

When the wolf Zhengxuan next to him saw it, a strange sneer flashed on his face: "The Tang Dynasty actually dares to betray us, Your Majesty, first ask me if I agree to the knife in my hand." ”

"You were originally the general of my Nanzhao, and today you came to the army again, I think it's time for you to show your position, tell me, who are you willing to follow?"

"Back to Your Majesty! The kid is naturally willing to submit to Your Majesty, the rebellious minister of the Tang Dynasty, although he is arrogant for a while at this time, he will eventually be captured by His Majesty, and when the time comes, he will be subject to Your Majesty's fate. ”

Listening to these words, the wolf Zhengxuan next to him was full of confusion, they all knew that Zhuan Xin was the most trusted subordinate of the Tang Dynasty, how could he say that betrayal betrayed the Tang Dynasty?

"Bold! Thou hast deceitfully said this, come on, bind me up, and I will serve him well with my sticks. ”

In the midst of the cheers, hundreds of pro-soldiers rushed out and surrounded Zhuanxin, Xin Baijiang, and Ban Lin.

Zhuan Xin sneered slightly, and did not refute, Ren Li Gesang's personal soldiers were tied with tough cow tendons. In a short period of time, the three major generals were bound by Li Gesang.

"You are my minister, but you actually help the abuse, say, how do you want to die?"

Li Gesang's eyes were murderous, and he instinctively felt that the Tie Ning he sent to Luoyang might have been inadvertently known by the Tang Dynasty, which is why he has the current letter.

The Tang Dynasty, which is so powerful, actually has a wide range of eyeliner around An Lushan, otherwise, when Tie Ning went away, he was disguised, and his whereabouts were secretive, how did he know?

For a while, Li Gesang's heart was a little chaotic. It seems that there is a good chance that my guess is correct. However, the Tang Dynasty now has 100,000 troops fighting in the south and the north, and there are 300,000 newly recruited troops. If you don't fight, it is equivalent to acknowledging what this guy said in his letter, that is, from now on, he will be on an equal footing with me Li Gesang, but they are just allies with each other.

At this time, he also regretted very much in his heart, he shouldn't have let him lead the army to take Chang'an first.

As soon as Chang'an got it, this person's greed really soared, and if he wanted to clean him up again, it would be a big deal.

"Back to Your Majesty. The general of the Tang Dynasty said, if Your Majesty asks me how I died, I will tell you that I don't want to die, because I am worthy of Nanzhao and Your Majesty in my life; If Your Majesty really wants me to die, then after my death, the general of the Tang Dynasty will definitely attack Dali and avenge me. I thought that the general was talking casually, but I didn't expect His Majesty to really ask, so I had to answer truthfully. ”

Li Gesang's heart was cold, no wonder this kid took Lian'er, Wen Jiang, Xinling and other three people to Chang'an under the pretext of missing a few wives half a month ago, and now that I think about it, I know that this kid has been guarding against me. With his rare martial arts in the world, coupled with the Xuantie Sword in his hand, he led the army to attack, I am now deep in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult to supply, coupled with Li Longji, who is eyeing him behind him, there is a danger of annihilation.
