Li Gesang died in the Jianmen Pass army, and when the news came out, the whole army cried, and the whole country mourned.

The Tang Dynasty, as the new emperor of Nanzhao, issued an edict, granted amnesty to the world, ordered the whole country to mourn, and the male in each household must approve Ma Dai Xiaoxiao, mourn for seven days, and ordered the prince of Fuhu to transport the coffin back to Dali, according to his last wishes, buried in Xueling, next to Xie Xiaoyi.

The Tang Dynasty paid a deep tribute, and silently thought in his heart: Your Majesty, the reason why you didn't pass on the throne to Wolf Zhengxuan was because you knew that I would not kill your family, and once Wolf Zhengxuan ascended the throne, he would definitely not let them go. You, the emperor of Nanzhao, if you hadn't met me, a freak, maybe Li Longji's world would have been won by you, rest in peace!

……

The news soon reached Li Longji's ears.

When Li Longji heard this, he stumbled and beat his chest, gritting his teeth: "Tang Dynasty, you dog-day thing, you really became the emperor of Dali, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he becomes emperor in Chang'an." ”

"The emperor doesn't have to be pessimistic. After this chaos, Nanzhao could not threaten our army in an urgent manner. And Weichen has heard that Wolf Zhengxuan has the will to rebel, and the elite soldiers of Nanzhao have been controlled by him, at this time Li Gesang Chan let the big position in the Tang Dynasty, this person must be dissatisfied, may not listen to the command of the Tang Dynasty, if we attack at this time, relying on the sword gate to pass the sky, you can attack, retreat can defend, why miss the opportunity? ”

The person who spoke was Bu Gu Huaien, a Tibetan horse, but he had already taken refuge in Li Longji, and his martial arts were strong, and he had already led an army of 30,000 from Tubo to Shuzhong to attack the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Longji fled, he did not sit idle, but asked his subordinates to lead a large amount of gold and silver to Tubo and Huifu to ask for help. Because Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo, the great leader of Tubo, which made the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have always maintained close contact, Bugu Huaien, as a Tubo concubine, naturally led troops to help Li Longji quell the rebellion.

The Tibetan tribes live in the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and live by herding cattle, sheep and horses, and have always been fierce and brave, especially the cavalry, which is even more sophisticated, and is not at a disadvantage in repeated wars with the Turkic, Tianzhu, and Dashi countries. At this time, the martial arts in the country did not change, and Prince Ampoulu was even more outstanding in martial arts, and he became the generalissimo of the military department of Tubo, and the people under his command Bugu Huaien, He Buwu, and Qu Tuli were all strong generals.

Among the 30,000 troops brought by Bugu Huaien this time, there were nearly 10,000 cavalry, and they accompanied Li Longji to nest in this Jianmen Pass all day long, and they were already very dissatisfied in their hearts.

You must know that the difficult march in Shu has made these always proud Tubo cavalry complain, and the relatively difficult provision has made these people angry.

Even now, Li Longji divided half of the grain and grass of his 100,000 troops to Bugu Huai'en's department, it was still difficult to suppress the resentment of these foreign troops.

"Aiqing's words are very appropriate. I was oppressed by the kid Songtsen Gesang in this sword gate, and the food and grass were not continued, and the soldiers under him also wanted to fight the thief for a long time, so as to raise their eyebrows, but the troops under him were not enough to resist. Now that there are 30,000 male soldiers of Aiqing, and Li Gesang died violently in the army, it is a good time for us to counterattack. Listen to the generals! ”

At this time, the discussion of politics is in the tent of the Chinese army, which makes it very convenient to give orders.

As soon as they heard that the emperor was no longer shrinking, many generals had excitement on their faces, but more generals, such as Wang Sili, who was newly promoted by Li Longji, showed a sad color. After all, Li Longji's combat effectiveness of these armies, they are very clear, they have long been deducted military salaries by Gao Xianling, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, Xian Yu Zhongtong and others in succession, and they have been complaining, and where can they talk about hard training, besides, the most fatal point, as the former deputy envoy of Jiannan, the Tang Dynasty had already divided the soldiers and horses of Jiannan before leading the army to conquer Chang'an, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers loyal to him had already been incorporated into the army led by him personally, and the remaining ones were called 100,000 soldiers and horses. Although there are many of them, when it comes to the ability to fight a decisive battle against the enemy, they are very bad.

What's more, now the Shu Road is difficult, the transfer of materials is inconvenient, and a large amount of food and materials are occupied by Bugu Huaien's army, which makes the treatment of these 100,000 troops extremely poor.

……

In the Chinese military tent, Tang Chao looked at the extremely embarrassed Wolf Zhengxuan and said, "Marshal, why do you want to resign at such a time?" "At this point, there is no third person.

"Back to Your Majesty. Weichen feels guilty of a deep sin, His Majesty's great grace not to kill me is already the greatest forgiveness, how dare he covet power again? ”

"You're right! Whoever commits a big crime like yours and becomes the emperor can't be tolerated, but I, Tang Dynasty, am not an ordinary person. I am not only the emperor of Nanzhao in a remote corner, I also want to dominate the world, now Chang'an is in my hands, I want the whole world, if I can't tolerate a wolf Zhengxuan who rebels against me, how can I tolerate the people of the world? ”

These few words were said so loudly that Wolf Zhengxuan couldn't help but nod his head: "To be honest, Your Majesty, I, Wolf Zhengxuan, have never served anyone in my life, but I will obey you!" I...... I really can't imagine that you will rest assured that I will lead the Nanzhao army. ”

"I can't be wrong! You are my minister. In the future, the whole world has been laid, I will give you the land of Nanzhao, so that your wish will come true, the wolf family will be the emperor in Dali for generations, and my new Tang Dynasty will always be a friendly state! ”

"What?" Wolf Zhengxuan almost fainted. This was the dream he had been waiting for all his life.

He thought it had been shattered forever, but he didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would make his dream come true.

So, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, the Tang Dynasty wrote a handwritten edict in the Jianmen Pass Army, announcing the matter to the Southern Zhao world, and the book said:

Fengtian transported, the new emperor of the Southern Zhao Tang Dynasty said:

With Wolf Zhengxuan leading 100,000 elite soldiers of Nanzhao as the front, cooperating with the army led by me to suppress the rebellion in the Central Plains, and when the Central Plains was consolidated, Zen let Emperor Nanzhao be located in Wolf Zhengxuan, and since then the New Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao have been friendly for generations, and the lord of Nanzhao can be called the emperor!

As soon as the edict came out, the whole country rejoiced, after all, all the people of Nanzhao knew the great talent of the Tang Dynasty, and let him only be the emperor in Tiannan, which was obviously a great grievance against him. From then on, not only can Wolf Zhengxuan, a native of Nanzhao, control the world, but also get the strong support of the Tang Dynasty and the New Tang Dynasty.

Wolf Zhengxuan was overjoyed and grateful, and since then he has sincerely attached himself to the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Wolf Zhengxuan is not born with a rebellious character, like most people, he is eager to establish a career, but as he gets older, he can't help but make a desperate bet and do whatever it takes to see his life's dreams come to naught. This is very similar to Tang Taizong Li Shimin thirty years ago, look at his status is not guaranteed, and he may die under the hands of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, even if he has no rebellious heart, he has to rebel, Xuanwumen Change, after killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, immediately threatened Li Yuan to abdicate. In fact, as far as the situation at that time is concerned, in another ten years and eight years, no one will be able to shake Li Shimin's position as the crown prince, but he just can't wait, Li Yuan knows that once he doesn't say a word, he will inevitably die in the hands of those wolf-like soldiers in the palace of King Qin, so he has to obediently abdicate and pass the throne to Li Shimin.

Of course, Wolf Zhengxuan's martial arts can be compared with Li Shimin, but in terms of strategy, it is greatly inferior, lacking Li Shimin's ability to fight vertically and horizontally, so although he is a good general in leading troops to fight, he does not know how to advance and retreat, and the two rebellions are failures.

When the Tang Dynasty was studying in Zhangzhou No. 1 Middle School, he often watched some TV, like "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". If the emperor is stingy with rewards, then no one is willing to work for you, anyway, the emperor of Nanzhao is not eye-catching, and it is very useful to use it to entrap him to sell his death for himself.

Liu Bang is good at rewarding, but one of the biggest officials he has named is Han Xin as the king of Qi, and he wants to mix the whole day, why not be more bold and make him the emperor of a small country, so what's the matter?

……

"Report to Your Majesty, the Tubo army is led by Bugu Huai'en, and it is calling for battle outside the gate!"

When the Tang Dynasty was convening its generals to discuss the military situation, they returned from the horses.

Laughed. As soon as he heard the news, Tang Chao smiled and smiled brightly.

"Spread my will, and fight immediately!"

"Yes!" The herald quickly passed the order out.

Wolf Zhengxuan's face was worried: "Your Majesty, the Tubo cavalry has always been brave, and now it is eager to fight, why don't we avoid it for the time being?" ”

Tang Chao shook his hand: "I have my own arrangements, I order you to be the vanguard of the front and fight him in person, but you are only allowed to lose, not to win." ”

"What?"

"You don't have to ask why, the way to use soldiers is to take them by surprise."

"Yes, yes!" Wolf Zhengxuan accepted the order with the courtesy of the army and was about to walk out immediately.

"Wait." The voice of the Tang Dynasty came from behind, "I warn you, when you are defeated, you must be defeated without showing a trace, otherwise, Li Longji will not chase after you." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wolf Zhengxuan's heart really felt the cold, the cold of winter. Seeing that His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty is so confident, he must have laid down an army on the way to my defeat.

Could it be that before he arrived at the Sword Gate Pass, he didn't just bring more than a hundred followers, but brought a large army?

If that's the case, I will never want to fight for the throne of this Nanzhao, such a powerful Tang Dynasty!

Perhaps, at that time, even if Li Gesang called on the troops of Nanzhao to kill the Tang Dynasty after regaining his freedom, he could not do it. It's just that in that case, the Tang Dynasty's goal of using my Nanzhao 100,000 troops cannot be realized, which will undoubtedly have a heavy impact on his hegemony, so he chose the most correct approach, and Li Gesang was under the forbidden form, and it was really passed on to him.
