On the seventh day of the first month of April in the first year of the new Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty went out of Chang'an under the personal guidance of Prince Fuhu and marched to the Jianmen Pass in the department, only bringing 800 personal soldiers with him, loading dozens of carts of gold, silver and satin, and rushed to the Jianmen Pass to celebrate Li Gesang's 60th birthday.

Li Gesang was not only the king of Nanzhao, but also the Taishan lord of the Tang Dynasty, and even if the Tang Dynasty occupied Chang'an, it had to show him enough respect.

Of course, he couldn't have expected that Li Gesang would poison him, so everything was logical, and after explaining all the current affairs to Sheva, who had rushed back from Henan, he rushed to Jiannan with confidence.

In addition to celebrating his birthday, the biggest purpose of his trip was to explain to Li Gesang and show that he was not ungrateful, but because of the persecution of the situation. He thought that with his relationship with his son-in-law, coupled with the great contributions he had made to him and the life-saving grace he had given him, he would reconcile with himself and occupy Li Longji's great rivers and mountains together.

Before leaving, he wondered why Zhuan Xin, Xin Baijiang and Ban Lin were all sick and couldn't go to Jianmen Pass with him, so he had to take Rondo with him.

Li Gesang dug a big pit in a radius of four zhang in his Chinese army tent, and hid 500 armor soldiers in the pit, all of whom were the elite of the Nanzhao elite, and mobilized 8,000 elite soldiers outside his tent, commanded by Wolf Zhengxuan himself.

He had already secretly arranged everything, just waiting for the arrival of the Tang Dynasty.

When Xinma reported that the Tang Dynasty led a large number of birthday materials only thirty miles away from his military camp, Li Gesang was overjoyed, and at the same time a little nervous.

It's not that he's afraid that he won't be able to kill the Tang Dynasty, he actually feels a little guilty.

He knows better than anyone else in his heart that he is public and private, even if the Tang Dynasty has something to be sorry for him, he should not kill the Tang Dynasty. But the current situation is different, at this moment, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the biggest stumbling block to his occupation of the Central Plains, so it is okay to violate his conscience, he must kill him anyway.

Otherwise, the hegemony he had tried all his life would be in vain.

……

"Tell Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has led thirteen servants to the front Sword Pavilion."

"Got it. Tell him that the king himself will go and meet him, and make all the men ready. ”

"Yes." The herald went quickly.

Li Gesang smiled at King Xinyue beside him: "Master, the battle that will decide the fate of myself and my Nanzhao is about to start. Let's go. ”

"In accordance with Your Majesty's holy decree, the old man must do his best."

The monks who are very deep in moral and martial arts folded their hands, obviously have completely obeyed Li Gesang's orders, behind this monk, are eighteen monks of different heights and ages, from the famous Chongsheng Temple outside Dali City, that is, the so-called Tianlong Temple, all of them are strong in martial arts, when the rebellion of Wolf Zhengxuan was quelled, this monk soldier had made great contributions.

"Iron Chief. This time, only victory, not defeat, once the Tang Dynasty is allowed to leave, the general trend will go. Are you ready? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has been ready for a long time."

"Okay, let's go to the Tang Dynasty and remind everyone again, don't show any flaws, understand?"

"Understood."

……

Li Gesang led his ministers to follow the Tang Dynasty by the Jinsha River, Li Gesang grabbed the hand of the Tang Dynasty and laughed: "My good son-in-law, I am very happy these days, I can't imagine that you sent troops to Chang'an, and you really drove Li Longji away and occupied a large area of land in the Central Plains. ”

When Tang Chao heard this, he was very frightened, and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." You say this, it's really a torment, although Weichen wants to be the emperor of the Central Plains, but His Majesty will always be the emperor of Nanzhao, I will not shake you in the slightest. The minister came today, one is to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and the other is to tell His Majesty that the Tang Dynasty received His Majesty's great favor and married the two princesses to the minister, and I was actually separated from His Majesty, it was really a villain who made a stumbling block, Your Majesty is extremely wise, you should know that between Weichen and Your Majesty, you will always be dependent on each other, suspicious of each other, and attack each other, which is a lose-lose situation; If you trust each other and help each other, you will live forever. Your Majesty must not listen to the slanderous rumors of a villain like An Lushan, so that we will lose harmony between our sons-in-law. Wei Chen came to Jianmen Pass alone today, not for anything else, but to show my sincerity in front of His Majesty. My Tang Dynasty swears by the new Tang Dynasty I established: If my Tang Dynasty violates conscience, deceives teachers and destroys ancestors, betrays, and kills relatives, I will die under the sword, and I will fall into eighteen layers of hell after death. Your Majesty, do you believe me? ”

Li Gesang didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to come out like this as soon as they met, and he was slightly flustered, but then he was stunned and laughed: "Where did the virtuous son-in-law come from, isn't this an outsider?" My dignified lord of Nanzhao doesn't even have the ability to distinguish ten points, of course I won't believe the villain's slander. Yes, An Lushan did send someone to Jianmen Pass to win me over, wanting me to ally with him, and when he killed Li Longji in one fell swoop, he would deal with you with one north and one south, but where would I listen to him, I had already sent Tie Ning to Luoyang in person, and solemnly rejected his request. ”

The Tang Dynasty hung a heart and finally fell to the ground, it seems that Li Gesang does not really want to believe in people like An Lushan, even if the alliance is formed, I am afraid it is only a contract, and there is no substantive action.

Of course, it is impossible for him to know that Li Gesang invited him here today to kill him, and the banquet of the Sword Pavilion is the Hongmen banquet.

"Okay, that's the best, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was sincerely grateful, after all, he had always been deeply grateful to this Taishan who gave his two fairy-like daughters to his people.

At this time, although his martial arts are extremely high, he still has not reached the point of "the way of sincerity, you can know in advance, and the autumn wind is not moved before the cicada is perceived". Although he instinctively felt that this trip was a little dangerous, he was not guarding against Li Gesang, but against Li Longji, who had his arm cut off.

With Li Longji's ability, it is very likely that he will find out that he has come to Jianmen Pass on this trip. If he really found out, he would definitely not spare himself. Perhaps, in the eyes of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the person he hated the most was not An Yulushan, but himself.

Although An Lushan once scratched Yang Yuhuan's Hao-ru with his giant claws, of course, he must have done something unseemly, but although Li Longji knew it, he did not expose it, but tolerated him, until An Lushan rebelled later, he naturally hated this Hu man, but hated the Tang Dynasty even more.

The Tang Dynasty was overthrown by the Tang Dynasty with only 100,000 troops, which made him a lot older, and he was also exposed to wind and frost, hiding in this remote Shu, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined. At this time, Li Longji was in Mianzhu and had already gathered a lot of masters, including martial arts masters like Wang Sili, the envoy of the Longxi Festival.

At that time, Li Longji's side Ma Zhengzhang died, Gao Lishi died, Zhang Qiu and Qiong rebelled, and Yu Chaoen defected to the crown prince Li Heng, which could already be said to be a withering talent, but the army of Xian Zhongtong plus Wang Sili came to vote, and the Turkic master Bugu Huaien came to vote, so that he suddenly recovered some of the past weather.

……

"Beloved son-in-law, get up, you are here to pay my birthday today, haha, kowtow your head first, okay, let's go, let's go to the tent and drink three hundred cups, hey, it's a pity that Brother Li Bai is not here, if he is here, we will be much happier."

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Bai was entrusted by his ministers to go to Henan on business, and he has not returned. If Your Majesty misses Li Bai, I will ask him to see him another day after I go back. ”

"Haha, no! Nanzhao is a small place, and it is impossible to keep a peerless figure like him. Let's go, when we arrive, the feast has been set up, just waiting for everyone to arrive. ”

"Who are you waiting for?"

"It's just you, you've already arrived, so naturally you don't have to wait."

In the laughter, Li Gesang took Tang Dynasty's hand and welcomed him into the Chinese military tent very affectionately.

This is the highest courtesy. Ordinary emperors, to greet their courtiers like this, may only enjoy when their subordinates return from a great victory.

Rondo followed closely behind Tang Dynasty with a copper hammer.

At this time, a big sword was pinned to the belt of the Tang Dynasty, and by this time, Zhuan Xin had naturally returned this murderous weapon to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, when attacking Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty was afraid that the letter would not be able to resist Li Longji, so he borrowed the sword and used it, and naturally returned it to him afterwards.

The Xuantie heavy sword is naturally a sharp weapon that dominates the world.

On this trip, when the Tang Dynasty left Chang'an, Yang Yuhuan hugged Tang Dynasty's neck and said with a worried face: "There is Li Longji at Jianmen Pass who is looking at you and is delayed, and Li Gesang doesn't know what to worry about, you have to be careful when you go." ”

"Haha, you're overthinking. I have this Xuantie sword, which dominates the world, but who am I afraid of? Moreover, if Li Gesang wanted to harm me, he would have harmed me a long time ago, so why wait until today? Isn't he afraid of killing me, Li Lian and Wen Jiang are going to find him desperately? ”

Yang Yuhuan was anxious when he heard it: "Brother Tang, don't be careless." These people who are emperors, especially when they are facing the juncture of the struggle for the world, what are their one or two daughters, it doesn't matter if they kill them, let alone kill them. Plum...... When Li Longji was in Ma Weiyi, in order to protect himself, wasn't it, wasn't it? ”

At this, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Obviously, in this woman's heart, it was very sad. She may have thought that Li Longji would work hard for people like her confidante and Yu Chaoen, but she was wrong.

All she saw was him walking towards the white silk.

It can't be said that this man is ruthless, but at least it can prove that this man values his life more than anything else, and his country more important than anything else!

There were only thirteen people, and Li Gesang was extremely excited. He knew his plan would succeed. He had been worried that the Tang Dynasty would bring his 800 soldiers outside his tent in the Chinese army.

In that case, Li Gesang knew that anything could happen. After all, these people are all people who have experienced countless battles with the Tang Dynasty, and their strength is strong, and they may break through to the Tang Dynasty if they are not careful.

But there are only thirteen people, and he is very sure in his heart.
