    Following what Ye Chang pointed out, Wei Niang looked at the green plants and smiled slightly.  "Sugar cane?" She looked at Ye Chang, somewhat charmingly.  "Exactly, I want to set up a sugar workshop here and need a lot of sugar cane." Ye Chang also smiled, showing his white teeth, looking very sincere: "I have a suggestion." "Say." "This time you guys  For the rest of the five imperial edicts, the captured people in Nanzhao can be ordered to plant sugar cane, and I will buy it at a high price, or exchange it for salt, iron, grain, silk, cotton, glass, etc." I heard Ye Chang talking about all the things Nanzhao urgently needs.  Wei Niang's eyes started to shine. When she heard the last word "glass", Wei Niang's expression changed even more. She took out a small round glass mirror from her arms and showed it in front of Ye Chang: "This?"  At that time, the news was blocked. Although the glass mirror had also spread to Yunnan, Wei Niang did not know that this thing was actually invented by Ye Chang.  When Ye Chang saw the small round mirror, he laughed out loud, then took out a square mirror slightly larger than a palm from his pocket and handed it to Wei Niang.  "This is for you." Wei Niang was surprised, looked at the mirror, and then at Ye Chang, obviously knowing how precious this thing was.  Li Bai saw this scene from a distance and thought to himself: Sure enough, it's really different. Ye Xiandi really had an affair with this barbarian girl. When the mirror was in hand, Wei Niang put it away, and then smiled sweetly: "It's a gift for me, and today  "The things discussed are not the same." "That's natural," Ye Chang said: "Since Nanzhao has rebelled, it is the best opportunity for you to restore your tribe. If my army advances, no matter whether you win or lose, this opportunity will be gone.  "What is the meaning of this statement?" "If I win, the entire Liuzhao will return to the original state. Only the counties directly under the Tang Dynasty will no longer have the Liuzhao tribe. If I lose, the power of Nanzhao will be greatly improved.  The Five Edicts can only serve as servants, and there are no Six Edicts. "Ye Chang said slowly: "You are smart and you naturally know."  "Of course you are asking for help from the Tang Dynasty. If we, the Tang Dynasty, just try to be shameless and ignore the affairs of Yaozhou, how can we shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?"  To restore the tribe, we must rely on the power of the Tang Dynasty." "This" Wei Niang originally saw the opportunity when she came here, thinking that she could bargain with the Tang Dynasty, at least to force Ye Chang to agree to some demands.  However, Ye Chang's words changed the situation and put them in a position where they needed help from others.  Thinking about Ye Chang's various methods before, Wei Niang finally realized that it was not easy for her to take advantage of this guy.  "What exactly do you want?" she asked.  "I already said it, sugar." Ye Chang responded.  Ye Chang has long used a new sugar-making method, but due to the lack of raw material sources, the sugar output is limited and not enough to truly support an industry.  Therefore, before coming to Jiannan this time, Ye Chang had planned that Yunnan would become the base of the sugar industry in Datang's future economic map.  Planting sugar cane will require a lot of labor, and this labor can undoubtedly be plundered by the Quanrong.  "What do you want us to do?" Wei Niang asked again.  Li Bai watched Ye Chang and Wei Niang talking for a long time on the gentle slope. Sometimes Ye Chang was talking and dancing, and sometimes Wei Niang was talking and beaming.  The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the relationship between the two people was extraordinary.  After talking for half an hour, the two of them finished talking and came back together.  The barbarian girl did not delay, bowed and left with her men.  Watching Wei Niang and his entourage disappear, Ye Chang was relieved. This time he came to Nengzhou, meeting Wang Zhongsi and asking for advice was only one of his purposes. The most important purpose was to meet Wei Niang.  If you can get help from Wei Niang, you can secretly contact the old Wuzhao department. With them acting as the "leading party", this southern expedition will be much easier.  When he turned around, he saw Li Bai's face with a sly smile.  Ye Chang was stunned: "Brother Taibai, what do you mean?" "Brother Xian, don't worry, I will never tell my siblings about this." "What's the matter?" "Brother Xian, why are you pretending?  ? You are indeed the son-in-law that the emperor and Prime Minister Li are fighting for. You even hooked up with this barbarian girl from the south It¡¯s strange to say that you hooked up with the barbarian girl from Liuzhao. They say barbarian girls are passionate?  "Is there anyone else who is as beautiful as before?" "Go away." Ye Chang finally understood what Li Bai was talking about: "I'm doing serious things." "Yes, yes, serious things." Li Bai laughed, but his eyes were ambiguous.  As before.  Unable to communicate with this poet who could go crazy even without drinking, Ye Chang was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered to break camp and leave.  They returned by boat and took another three days to reach the barracks in Rongzhou.  Gao Shi is waiting for him here.  When everyone got together, it was natural for them to be intimate. Even Ye Chang and Gao Shi had been apart for many years.  He didn't stay in Rongzhou for long, so Ye Chang stayed with Gao Shi.After arranging grain and grass, he led 30,000 troops and headed south from Shimen Pass.  Although the area to the south of Shimen Pass belongs to the Rong Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, it is actually mostly Jimi Prefecture.  After crossing Niutou Mountain and arriving at Ma'an Ferry, Ye Chang got the report: The envoy Luo Feng from Wangge, Yunnan is here.  "Messenger?" Ye Chang heard the words and smiled: "Ge Luofeng is very well-informed." His army had only been marching for three days, and the other party's envoy came to greet him on the way. If Ge Luofeng did not work carefully in Rongzhou, no one could  Do not believe.  "Let him come to see me." Ye Chang said.  After a while, the envoy was brought to Ye Chang. This man had a tattooed face and a messy beard, and his eyes kept turning, looking very cunning.  Looking at his appearance, Ye Chang knew that the envoy would not be polite this time.  "Yang Zifen, the general under the command of the King of Yunnan, pays homage to Ambassador Ye." After he was led to Ye Chang, seeing that Ye Chang was so young, he felt a little arrogant and disrespectful, so he casually raised his hand as a "visit".  He was still murmuring in his heart, wasn't it true that the Tang Dynasty was full of talents? Why did the Tang Dynasty send such a young man to clean up the mess after Xianyu Zhongtong suffered a defeat? Was it because he was deceiving no one in Nanzhao, or because the Tang Dynasty had no more resources?  Decent manpower available?  "Duh" Seeing him like this, Shanzhi next to him roared angrily. Yang Zifen trembled in shock, her knees fell weak, and she couldn't help but kneel on the ground.  Ye Chang disagreed: "Why did Ge Luofeng send you to do this?" "My king sent me here because he had some secrets to report to the ambassador. The former two countries fought against each other because they had no choice but to do so. Zhang Qiantuo bullied my king too much, Xianyu  Zhongtong can't" "You and I both know the right and wrong." Ye Chang interrupted him.  On the surface, Nanzhao's rebellion was due to Zhang Qiantuo's excessive bullying, but in fact the problem did not lie here, but in Ge Luofeng's personal ambition.  Previously, Li Longji formulated a strategy to support Nanzhao to unify the other five imperial edicts, hoping to contain the Quan Rong. However, after Nanzhao's power increased, how could he still be willing to act as a lackey of the Tang Dynasty? Luo Feng spent several years in Chang'an.  , I even feel that instead of being a dog and horse of the Tang Dynasty, how can I be a real king of Yunnan?  With this in mind, he took some actions, such as escaping privately from Chang'an back to Nanzhao, or refusing to obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty after returning to Nanzhao and succeeding to the throne.  These actions naturally aroused the vigilance of Xianyu Zhongtong and Zhang Qiantuo. At this time, Li Longji probably also realized that Nanzhao was in great difficulty, so he no longer supported Nanzhao as before.  Ge Luofeng took the opportunity to launch an attack, attacked Yaozhou, and forced Zhang Qiantuo to death. In order to deceive the people under his rule, he also made a lot of accusations about how the Tang Dynasty bullied Nanzhao.  Ye Chang was not interested in any of this, so he interrupted the other party directly.  "How can you do it without knowing right from wrong and not judging the right from wrong?" Yang Zifen knelt on the ground, looking frightened, but in fact he still argued: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains is a country of benevolence and righteousness, a country of etiquette, if there is no right and wrong  "How can benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette be inferior to this place of Huawai?" "A place of Huawai? During the Han Dynasty, Yunnan was the place where our saints taught and bathed." Ye Chang stared at this guy, seeing that he was still unconvinced, and said with a smile:  "Okay, let me tell the truth. When the Tang Dynasty was poor, benevolence, righteousness and etiquette were the norm, and since ancient times, Yunnan has been under the rule of the Han emperor. It has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. What is benevolence and righteousness, follow the teachings of my Han family  "Hua" means benevolence and righteousness. What is etiquette? Obeying the imperial power of our Han family is etiquette." Li Bai, the Han nationalist next to "good", suddenly felt brilliant after hearing this, and his blood boiled all over: "The poor are benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, the great are since ancient times, wonderful  "Wonderful" "Following the upbringing of our Han family is benevolence and righteousness, and obeying the imperial power of our Han family is etiquette - these are really passionate words. Those who offend the strong Han Dynasty will be punished even though they are far away, but they can be simplified and complement each other."  Cai Ming also nodded.  Ye Chang glanced at the two of them speechlessly, but saw that the surrounding soldiers were all excited, and they were all moved by those words.  He squeezed his hand gently, and it seemed that he had said something remarkable again.  Yang Zifen could only swallow back the reasons he was talking about, because he found that the young-looking military envoy of the Tang Dynasty in front of him seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty such as Xianyu Zhongtong he had seen before.  "In that casethe king of my family in Yunnan sent me to apologize to the ambassador, and I am willing to withdraw from Yaozhou City, rebuild the city wall, and return the captives." Yang Zifen added.  "That's it, is there anything else?" Ye Chang asked.  "Thisthat's all." "Ge Luofeng knows he is guilty? Didn't you just say benevolence and righteousness? Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who are guilty must be punished. Rewarding good deeds and punishing sins is the first of benevolence and righteousness." Ye Chang said: "Ge Luofeng  Since you know you are guilty, why don't you tie yourself up and wait for the emperor to punish you according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but send you a lobbyist here? " Yang Zifen opened his mouth and looked at Ye Chang, really not knowing about this soldier of the Tang Dynasty?  Make it true or false.  Guilty and not guilty is just a lie on the lips of a big shot. How can it be taken as true? Do you really want the King of Yunnan to tie himself up and plead guilty?  Judging from Ye Chang¡¯s words just now, he is definitely not confused, just arrogant. It seems that he must give this young manThe Han people are quite powerful.  "I, Yunnan, have always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Quanrong army is pressing the border, if the Tang Dynasty does such a grudge-like thing at this time, I am afraid that Yunnan and the Tang Dynasty will all be owned by it." Yang Zifen said: "I, Yunnan, will not be able to do so at that time.  If we don't join hands with Quan Rong, things will be troubled on the border of the Tang Dynasty." "Impossible." Ye Chang said casually: "If Ge Luofeng sent you here just to say these nonsense, you can go back and tell him now.  He won't have the chance to join forces with Quan Rong to defeat our border, because after I come, there will no longer be a Yunnan king in Yunnan." After saying that, Ye Chang waved his hand, and the warrior generals were still thinking about him.  Yang Zifen dragged away the words.  "Ambassador, why are you so generous?" Cai Ming said from the side: "If Nanzhao is really ordered to join hands with Quanrong, this southern expedition will be in vain." "Nanzhao has already joined hands with Quanrong. As far as I know,  Quanrong Censor Lun Ruozan has gathered troops at Langqiong to wait and see the success or failure. "Ye Chang said with a smile: "Nanzhao's wolf ambitions will shrink from being appeased for a while. The more they are appeased, the more arrogant they will be, so they can only fight head-on.  Only then can they understand the general trend." Cai Ming was surprised when he heard this: "Is this news true, Ambassador?" "Of course it is true." This news was brought by Wei Niang, and Ye Changren is still making preparations in Chang'an.  At the time of the wedding, they secretly sent a messenger into Jiannan and found the contact person that Wei Niang had made an appointment with. Then they made an appointment with the meeting time and place, and asked Wei Niang to spy on the movements of Nanzhao and Quanrong.  In fact, during Xianyu Zhongtong's southern expedition last time, Geluofeng had already sent an envoy to ask for help from Quanrong and expressed his intention to surrender.  "If this is the case, we must not be careless in this battle. Ambassador, please station troops and wait for reinforcements," Cai Ming said worriedly.  "Of course we have to garrison troops for reinforcements, but we have to fight Nanzhao first. If we don't fight a battle, they won't take us to heart." As Ye Chang expected, for the Tang army he led  , Nanzhao didn¡¯t take it seriously.  After Yang Zifen was driven away, he rushed back to Taihe City day and night.  At this time, in Taihe City, the leaders of Nanzhao gathered.  "General Yang is back. Tell me, what is the reality of the Tang army this time, and what kind of person is General Tang?" Hearing that Yang Zifen was back, Ge Luofeng asked from his throne on the double-dragon-headed chair.  He stayed in Chang'an for several years, imitating the ritual system of the Tang Dynasty, building palaces and appointing officials, which was also a rough preparation.  However, many customs of the barbarians were still preserved. For example, in his main hall, in addition to himself, his wife Bai, his brother Gepi, who was also a monk, etc. were all here.  "Report to your Majesty, the strength of the Tang army is only 30,000, which is not as good as that of Zhongtong before. As for the remaining generals, the commander of the army is Ye Chang, the commander of the army. He is very young and looks to be no more than 20 years old. He is arrogant and arrogant.  , it is not difficult to break." Ge Luofeng heard the words and laughed dumbly: "General, you are wrong. This Ye Chang is not that simple. "The king knows him?"  "Of course I know. When I was in Chang'an, I heard his name frequently. Even when I returned to Yunnan, I occasionally heard about him."  This man was the number one financial expert in the Tang Dynasty, and he also had considerable insights into side matters.  "Ge Luofeng said: "If he behaves extremely arrogantly in front of you, he must be trying to do some conspiracy, deliberately doing this to trick me into being fooled." "Brother Wang Mingjian" Ge Bei next to him nodded and said. "I'm afraid he will have to do it again.  Sorry for bothering you, Brother Wang.  Ge Luofeng stood up and said: "If the whole country of the Tang Dynasty comes to fight, it will be difficult for our country to compete. We must order Quanrong Zanpu to also send troops to attack, at least to contain the main force of the Tang Dynasty."  If this can be done, the Tang army only has 30,000 troops, but I am not afraid."
