    After comforting these dog soldiers, Jiang Ruzhi only felt physically and mentally exhausted. When she returned to Guanzhong, Duan Jianwei, the general of the Nanzhao army, had been waiting for him anxiously. When he saw him coming, he first raised his thumb and praised him for his good response, and then asked: "  "What, did they agree?" "Yes, but I think these Quanrong people are ambitious. We are afraid that we will lead the wolf into the house this time." Jiang Ruzhi sighed.  "I also know, but no matter what, the Tang people are more difficult to deal with than the Quanrong people. The Quanrong people cannot live in our territory for a long time, and the Tang people look like they are clearly preparing to seize my territory." "This, that side was originally governed by Yaozhou  Next" Jiang Ruzhi murmured.  "Humph, Jiang Canjun, now you are the military official of our Nanzhao Kingdom, not the military official of the Tang Dynasty." Duan Jianwei muttered: "I will send a messenger to report the news When will they agree to send troops?  " "There is a prodigal in their tent as the forerunner. I originally wanted them to take a detour from Cangshan Mountain and take Yongchang Road to Longweiguan, but they decided to go east from Erhai Lake and pass through Shari Prefecture and go south. It must be the idea of ??the prodigal under his command.  The so-called langren refer to themselves as Langqiong, Shilang and other remnants of the imperial edicts who were destroyed by Nanzhao. They have always colluded with Quanrong. After the tribe was destroyed, they fled to Quanrong's rule, received his protection, and sent troops  To fight for them. This time Quan Rong came to the rescue, and they also sent thousands of troops. "It's true, these ronin must be bad," Duan Jianwei murmured. They were overwhelmed by dealing with these ronin.  But there was laughter and joy. The camp prepared was less than five miles away from Longshou Pass, close to Erhai Lake, with rich water and grass and fertile land. This was originally the hometown of Shi Langzhao, so the survivors of Shi Langzhao were crying, laughing, and singing drunken songs.  In the midst of the chaos, several men dressed in black barbarian costumes quietly approached. Because there were barbarians in the army and the Quanrong military discipline was poor, no one stopped them and asked, and these people approached the military camp easily.  "Meng Fengyi, why are you here?  "When they approached the survivors of Shi Langzhao, one of the survivors saw the leader, stood up suddenly, and asked in surprise. "I heard that you led the Tibetan army back, and I came here specially to have a look." He was called Meng Fengyi  Wuman gritted his teeth and said: "Nanzhao tried to destroy our country, but Liu Nuo didn't do it. You are here today. Are you here to retaliate and take revenge?"  " The one called Liu Nuo did not get it, it was the leader of this group of Shi Langzhao survivors. When he heard the question, he looked ashamed: "Wewe are here to conquer the Tang people on behalf of the Tubo Zanpu.  "What? Nanzhao destroyed our tribe, and the Tang people conquered Nanzhao to avenge our tribe. You actually came to support Nanzhao?"  "A young barbarian behind Meng Fengyi shouted: "Why are you doing this?  " "My lord's business, don't interrupt me." Liu Nuo glared at the barbarian boy, and then said to Meng Fengyou: "You are here just in time, follow us to fight the Tang people." "You went to Tubo, no?"  You know how our lives have been over the years. You have forgotten your hatred, but we are still being slaughtered and bullied by Nanzhao.  Meng Fengyi said disappointedly: "Since you are not here to restore the tribe, then I have nothing to say to you."  " "Don't leave, don't leave. Tubo's Zanpu promised us that as long as we defeat the Tang people, we will be restored to our country.  "Liu Nuo didn't understand and couldn't help being shocked. They were worried about their small number of troops and Quanrong didn't pay attention to them. Now that Meng Fengyi and others came to the door, how could they be allowed to leave easily: "Don't worry, Tubo's  Zamp has always been reputable, and he has never failed to do anything he promised." "Really?  "Meng Fengyi was a little moved. "Of course it's true. Even if you can't trust Tubo Zanpu, can't you still trust me, Liu Nuo?  " "If it is true, there is a piece of news I can tell you" After a moment of hesitation, Meng Fengyou said: "I am not just here this time, someone sent me here.  "    "who?  " "While the Tang people were fighting against Nanzhao, those of us who stayed in our hometowns united together. Not only did we Shi Langzhao, but also the other tribes bullied by Nanzhao. Our leader was Ashi, the princess of Yuexizhao.  Ma, she is more beautiful than Erhai Lake, colder than the snow-capped mountains, and braver than the most heroic man.  She led us and hid in the north of the Moshe River. We had thousands of warriors, and we were originally planning to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty's attack on Meng Shezhao to regain our homeland." I heard that there were thousands of allied forces between the remnants of the Five Zhaos and the barbarians.  People, Liu Nuo was even more excited. If he could gather these soldiers and horses, he would have the capital to bargain with Tubo Zanpu. Maybe Zanpu would even seal a "bell" for him. "This Princess Ashima is here."  Where, I want to see him?" After making up his mind, Liu Nuo did not say. "You are just a remnant of Pang Luodian, what qualifications do you have to see our Princess Ashima?  Only if Pang Luo Dian is still here is he qualified to see our princess," the young man who followed Meng Fengyi said arrogantly. Liu Nuo's eyes suddenly widened.This is a taboo that they, the ronin, cannot touch.  Pang Luo Dian was the last lord of Shi Langzhao, and he led his people to escape to Jianchuan under the control of Quan Rong. Naturally, Quan Rong had no good intentions and gradually divided them. It has only been twenty years now, and Pang Luo Dian and his descendants have already lost their lives.  gained control over Shi Langzhao's surviving family.  But he just stared, Liu Nuo calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go to see the princess, is that okay?" Liu Nuo didn't manage to talk, and finally got these barbarians to agree to take him to see him.  That Princess Ashima.  He mentioned this matter to Lun Qiliyu, Lun Qiliyu was very interested and asked him to meet the Princess Ashima.  As for Qiliyu himself, he was naturally enjoying the day and night outside Longshou Pass while waiting for the arrival of the main force.  Wang Tianxing was walking in front of Longwei Pass with a frown on his face.  His temperament is not restrained enough, so any changes in his feelings will show on his face.  Looking at Longwei Pass in the distance, there is really nothing we can do.  In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, Ge Luofeng was ordered by Piro Ge to build Longwei City. The battlements ran northeast and southwest and were about nine miles long. In front of it was the Xi'er River, which had a rapid flow. There was only one stone bridge on the river, named  Black Dragon Bridge.  The entire Longwei Pass is such a huge and solid defense system. Many defense points respond to each other and support each other. However, due to the terrain, the attackers cannot deploy their troops and can only attack more with less.  It¡¯s not that this city cannot be conquered, but if you want to conquer this city, you will suffer heavy casualties. At that time, what will you do to fight against the main forces of Nanzhao and Quanrong?  "The only way is to bypass the Xi'er River, cross the Cangshan Mountain via the mountain trail, and arrive at Longwei Pass." Wang Tianyun thought to himself: "Even if Ambassador Ye is here, I'm afraid this is the only way." "General,  Chengjie has been brought." He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard someone behind him.  "Invite him." Wang Tianyun thought of Ye Chang's instructions, and his words were somewhat polite.  Chengjie is the legitimate son of Piluo Ge. Based on his bloodline alone, he is more qualified to inherit the throne of Yunnan than Ge Luofeng.  The fundamental reason why Zhang Qiantuo turned against Geluofeng was not that Zhang Qiantuo slept with Geluofeng's concubine, but because Zhang Qiantuo saw that Nanzhao was powerful and conspired to support Chengjie to replace Geluofeng.  Therefore, Chengjie's life was not easy. He was nominally appointed as the governor of Mengxi by Ge Luofeng, but in fact he was exiled to his hometown of Nanzhao and sent people to monitor him closely.  However, after Ye Chang defeated Geluofeng in Kunchuan, the whole Yunnan was shocked. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chengjie escaped from Mengxi. Now that the Tang army had arrived in Hedong Prefecture, he sent people to ask for help from the Tang army.  After a while, Chengjie arrived in front of Wang Tianyun, and when he was about to salute, Wang Tianyun helped him up and said kindly: "If it weren't for the traitor Ge Luofeng who usurped power and seized the throne, I would be the king of Yunnan. He is just a partial general and would not dare to be the king."  This was what Ye Chang told him, asking him to be courteous to Chengjie. Wang Tianxing's words were a bit false, but for Chengjie, Datang's recognition of his inheritance rights meant that he would not be treated as the same as Ge Luofeng.  For rebellion, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he bowed again: "Thank you, general I heard that Ye Gong, the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Arms, is the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, and I would like to go and see him." Wang Tianxing was stunned: "The reincarnation of Kongming?" "Exactly, I am from the south.  The soldiers and civilians of the imperial edict have heard such rumors that Ge Luofeng went against the grain, so the Emperor of Heaven sent Zhuge Kongming to come down to earth and reincarnate again to destroy this thief. From now on, the barbarians of Nanzhao will no longer dare to rebel against the Central Plains." The words of sincerity are partly true and partly true.  Compliment.  Wang Tianyun laughed after hearing this, and suddenly thought of Ye Chang's throwing money in front of the monument, and murmured in his heart: Could it be that this rumor is true, and Ambassador Ye is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming?  There is a bit of a resemblance. He is good at governing the people, proficient in military strategy, and can also make organs In fact, he looks like Kong Ming. "If you want to see Ambassador Ye, please wait here. In the next couple of days, Ambassador Ye will meet  "If that's the case, how dare you wait here?" Cheng Jie said with a respectful look.  It was this appearance that allowed him to win the support of Zhang Qiantuo and others. He knew very well that as a vassal country, he must serve the superior country respectfully. Only in this way can he have a way to survive.  Wang Tianyun didn't say much and sent someone to "escort" Daoxing.  Chengjie didn't think highly of Wang Tianyun. He was more interested in Ye Chang. Therefore, on the way, he asked the escorting sergeant some news about Ye Chang. When he learned about Ye Chang's fortune-telling, he was stunned and didn't know anything for a long time.  Say a word.  After coming back to his senses, he immediately summoned his subordinates: "Go, go get our gifts." When he met Wang Tianyun, he also gave gifts to greet Ye Chang, and also prepared heavy gifts, but at this time he felt that he  The heavy gift prepared is still too light. How can such a magical person be honored with an ordinary gift? Thirty miles east from Longwei Pass, I saw dust rising in the distance. I explored the road ahead and came back to report. It was Ye Chang who personally supervised him.  Twenty thousand troops and four thousand surrendered to the barbarians.  Before Ye Chang could arrive in front of him, Chengjie knelt down by the roadside. After waiting for half an hour, Ye Chang heard the news and came here to see him.  "Why is this so?" Seeing that he couldn't kneel down, Ye Chang got off his horse and helped him up. Because he had been kneeling for a long time, Chengjie's body swayed after he stood up, and he almost lost his balance.    "I heard about the reputation of the Ambassador. When I saw it today, it turned out that the figures of the Celestial Dynasty were like gods. The Ambassador came to punish the people and came under the order of the Emperor. He was an angel of the Tang Dynasty. He was just a barbarian. How dare he be disrespectful?  Angel? " Chengjie was extremely reverent, and Ye Chang even felt that he was a little too reverent.  But thinking about it, his submissiveness was in sharp contrast to Ge Luofeng's arrogance, making it easier to gain the sympathy and support of the Tang general.  But it¡¯s a pity that he met Ye Chang.  "Whether you salute the angel or not does not depend on whether you kneel or not, but on how you behave." Ye Chang said with a hint of reproach: "You are the legitimate son of the late king. Since you saw Geluofeng being arrogant and arrogant, you should kill him to offer him to the imperial court. Why did you condone his behavior?"  "Rebellion?" Chengjie's face suddenly fell, and he said aggrievedly: "Ge Luofeng is in charge of power, and there is an order from the imperial court, how can a villain dare to resist it?" "I didn't dare to do it before, but now?"  "Now that the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty is here, I am willing to use Mianbo's strength to defeat this disobedient person for the Tang Dynasty." "Okay, okay, that's the case, I will worship you as the Marching Sima of Jiannan Jiedushi and the training envoy of the Dali Army.  What do you think of leading the barbarian army to serve in front of the army? " Ye Chang thought it was an official appointment, but in fact it eliminated Chengjie's dream of being the "King of Yunnan". However, Chengjie had not thought that far at this time.  I¡¯m curious about what this Dali Army is all about.  But they didn¡¯t know that Ye Chang was building Yunnan City in the east of Zedong in southern Yunnan, and was planning to build Dali City in the west of Erhai Lake. He gave Chengjie the title of training envoy of the Dali Army, which had not yet been established, just to use his influence among the Wuman.  Ye Chang marched to Hedong Prefecture that day, and Wang Tianyun came to meet him. He talked about the fact that Longwei Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he was quite bitter.  Ye Chang smiled and said: "Why worry, let the armies choose a place to build a port in the Erhai Lake. I have dozens of boatmen with the army, plus carpenters in the army. Let's cut wood and build ships, and prepare to forcefully cross the Erhai Lake." Compared with crossing the Cangshan Mountain,  For example, Ye Chang's shipbuilding and water attack took more time, but it was indeed more reliable.  If there were no reinforcements from the Dog Rong army and sufficient logistical supplies, Ye Chang's strategy would definitely be successful.  But Quanrong's reinforcements had already arrived, and as far as Wang Tianyun knew, the Tang army's supplies were already slightly insufficient, so he said anxiously: "Ambassador, it's time to fight quickly." "Don't worry, since I'm at Erhai, I have to hurry  The battle is no longer important, but the Quanrong came - when I was in Hexi, I defeated the Quanrong and even captured the stone castle. Now that we have soldiers and generals, are we still afraid of the Quanrong? " Ye Chang said?  I am not bragging, but the equipment of his Tang army is slightly different from other Tang armies, that is, the crossbows.  Ye Chang recruited famous craftsmen in Liaodong and offered extremely high rewards to encourage them to improve the crossbows used in the army. Under the guidance of Zhang Xiu, the enthusiasm of these skilled craftsmen was terrifying. The crossbows they developed had nothing but materials.  The texture is not as good as the mechanical crossbow Ye Chang saw in another life, but the structure is similar to the mechanical crossbow in another life, except that it is easier to load and more convenient.  Therefore, in the previous battle in the valley, Wang Tianyun's men were able to defeat the enemy in a very short time with only three thousand men.  In other words, what Ye Chang is holding is a semi-long-range troop. In this non-plain mountain forest area, although the simple hand crossbow has a weaker range than the strong bow, it is more suitable for fighting in this environment.
