They chose a place to cut wood and build ships. Almost half a day later, Ge Luofeng got the news. He was shocked and said: "Erhai Lake is hundreds of miles north and south. If the Tang army can build warships, they can attack any place. I, Long Shou, The second pass of Longwei and the natural moat of Erhai Lake in Cangshan are useless Ye Chang's shipyard must be destroyed." "The only way to plan for now is to invite elite troops from the Tibetan kingdom to go around the lake and attack the shipyard. They are at Longshou Pass. We have been stationed and resting for many days, and we have been drinking and eating meat every day, so it¡¯s time to get moving." His younger brother, Sengge Pi said. "Jiang Ruzhi has gone to persuade them three times, but there is still no movement from the Tubo people. These guys obviously have bad intentions and only want to enter Longshou Pass." Ge Luofeng was helpless: "Brother, it seems that you are the only one to go. It¡¯s a trip. Of course, Ge Luofeng trusts his brother Ge Pei more than Jiang Ruzhi. Moreover, Jiang Ruzhi¡¯s identity is not enough and he can¡¯t agree to many things. Hearing this, Ge Pei didn¡¯t delay. He hurried on. He rushed to Longshou Pass and, accompanied by Jiang Ruzhi, came to see Lun Ruozan, the general of Quanrong. Unlike Lun Qiliyu, Lun Ruozan was named censor by Quanrong Zanpu and was one of the most noble chiefs of Quanrong. , but just like Lun Qiliyu, he coveted the rich area near Erhai Lake, so after he arrived, he inherited Lun Qiliyu's perfunctory strategy and was unwilling to go south immediately. Hearing that Nanzhao's brother came to ask for help, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Nanzhao is very poor now, and I want to enter Longshou Pass in the next two days. " To his surprise, Gepi did not bow down after seeing him, but sighed repeatedly. As soon as he saw Gepi, he felt something was wrong. He had no hair on his head, gold rings in his ears, and a tin staff in one hand. Nine rings jingled, and the other hand held a string of hanging beads. If you look closely, you will see that the hanging beads are actually made of eighteen human skulls. At this time, Tubo was still the world of Bon religion, but Chide Since Zuzan came to the throne, Buddhism has become increasingly active. In particular, Chide Zuzan once won a bronze medal in Qinpu. It is said that Songtsan Yubu's last words were on the medal. After the Five Dynasties, there were praises named "Chi" and "De". At that time, Buddhism was flourishing, so Chide Zuzan became interested in Buddhism and sent people to Tianzhu and Tang Dynasty to obtain Buddhist scriptures. However, those monks who entered the Quanrong territory and tried to preach the religion often created many eminent monks in order to deceive the nobles and the people. Lun Ruozan was affected by the rumors of boundless magical power. Seeing Gepi's extraordinary appearance and unusual conversation, he wondered if this was a skilled monk. Thinking of this, he first asked: "Brother Wang, why don't you say a word until now, just sighing? "Gepei raised his head, but he only had one eye, and the other eye could only see the white of the eye. Lun Ruozan was shocked again when he saw it. "The Buddha gave me the wisdom eye to see the past and the future. I saw that the censor will be displaced. , I will never be able to return to the snowy plateau. I saw the bustle and peace here, which will eventually be replaced by blood and screams. The armor of the Tang people shines here, and the swords of the Tubo and barbarians will rust here. I saw children losing their fathers, wives losing their husbands, aging and gray-haired parents never seeing their sons again The demons in the Tang Dynasty are already here, Censor, but you haven't seen anything. " What he said was so terrifying that Lun Ruozan was aroused for a moment and looked back with some suspicion. It was sunset at this time, and the setting sun shone little, dyeing the sky and the earth red. This was originally an ordinary scenery, but Lun Ruozan was already suspicious just now, but now he was even more shocked. "That's not it. I can bring an army of fifty thousand. I heard that you barbarians also have an army of one hundred thousand, and the Tang people only have 30,000, which is less than ours." Half, how could he be our opponent? " Hearing what Lun Ruozan said, Gepi understood that half of his task was completed. "If the Tang people don't retreat, the censor will not retreat. But now the Tang people occupy most of Yunnan, and those white barbarians who don't know good and evil, They helped the Tang people one after another. They not only provided food, but also provided labor to build roads for the Tang people. It is said that they were also building a kind of road called track. The Tang people have enough supplies, but now we can hardly support the food, grass, wine and meat provided to the upper state. By then, both of us will be too hungry to move, will we have no choice but to be slaughtered? " After hearing this, Lun Ruozan hesitated for a moment. He knew that what the monk said was right. Nanzhao was originally a small and weak country. If Xianyu Zhongtong hadn't given them a batch of property and food after his defeat, he would have been unable to support it. I originally thought that it would be difficult for the Tang army to come here, but I never thought that Ye Chang only led 30,000 people. In terms of food and grass, they could even supply them on the spot. "So what, that's your business. As long as you don't want to destroy the country, don't think about losing even a cent of our food, grass, wine and meat." "Now the Tang Dynasty is building ships in the southeast of Erhai Lake. If they use water warfare against the upper country in the Erhai Lake, even though the upper country's soldiers are brave, how many people there are? Water battle? "Gepei knew that the other party was already interested, and now he was just bargaining, adding fuel to the fire: "When the Tang Dynasty builds the ships, our passes will be useless, and the country will not be able to help in the water war. At that time, we will fight for The only way to save one's life is to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. At this point, Seng Pi said seriously: "??If we surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will definitely drive us to become enemies of our superior country. When the time comes, we will be at war with each other. Please forgive me for our little country's last resort. " "Hmph, are you threatening me? " "It's not a threat to the censor, I'm just telling the censor what I've seen. If the censor can rescue me, we defeat the Tang army and pursue the victory, directly attacking the Shu region. From Wuyou City to Chengdu, all the wealthy people in the Shu region belong to the country and belong to the censor. On one side is the honor of profit, on the other side is the desolation of defeat. Which side to choose depends on the censor's thoughts. " After Monk Gepi finished talking, he stopped talking to Lun Ruozan. Instead, he turned the skull rosary and murmured a mantra. Hearing his mantra, Lun Ruozan felt dizzy and felt extremely depressed. After that, After a while, he coughed: "In that case, what do you think I should do? " "Please invite the divine soldiers of the country to join forces with me to attack the Tang Army shipyard. If we can burn their ships and rob their craftsmen, we will have nothing to worry about. " Hearing that it was just such a request, Lun Ruozan also knew that Nanzhao had been cornered. He immediately put forward some minor conditions and agreed to send troops to attack the Tang people the next day. After sending Gepi away, Lun Qiliyu asked : ¡°Censor, are we really going to send troops? "Of course we will send troops, but let's not be anxious. Aren't those rogues looking for a princess? Let them go to fight." "Lun Ruozan smiled grimly: "If they want to join us in the country, they have to do something. ""That's what the censor said," Lun Qili Yu Fuzhang praised. During these days, they were resting by the Erhai Lake, but the wanderers were driven to recruit the old tribe, and got in touch with the so-called Princess Ashima of Yue Xizhao. Ashima heard that Tubo also wanted to destroy Nanzhao, so she expressed her willingness to cooperate with them. Tubo cooperation. At that moment, Lun Ruozan summoned Liu Nuo and ordered him to contact Yue Jizhao. In less than a day, Yue analyzed the imperial edict and an envoy returned, but he promised to be the vanguard to attack the Tang people. However, the Yue Jizhao also put forward conditions. They were very close to the Tang people. If they attacked the Tang people, they would definitely incur revenge from the Tang people in the future. Therefore, they asked Lun Ruozan to allow them to move to Jianchuan. In order to show their loyalty, they are willing to send some of the old and weak members of the clan to Jianchuan first, just for the convenience of Lun Ruozan. This is tantamount to offering hostages to show loyalty. There is no reason for Ruozan to refuse. At that time, some people from Yueji were led away, and then they were urged to send troops to attack the Tang army. Southeast of Erhai Lake, under the control of Hedong Prefecture, a tidal flat is now in full swing. Thousands of Han and barbarian soldiers and civilians are busy carrying wood here. On the shore, a wooden track road extends towards Hedong Prefecture City. This is also the source of the "track track" mentioned by Gepi. In fact, although the road from Yunnan City to Hedong Prefecture is easier to walk than other places in Yunnan , but it is still a high mountain, and with the technology at this time, it is impossible to actually build a track. Ye Chang's construction was just to put further pressure on Nanzhao. Because of the shipbuilding, a large amount of wood was piled up here. After learning about this situation, Lun Ruozan ordered Yue Jizhao to sneak into the barbarian labor force, set fire to it at night, and burn the wood. At midnight, they saw flames rising from the southeast, and the fire was soaring into the sky. Lun Ruozan was overjoyed: "It's done." A short while later, someone from Yue's imperial edict came to report: "My troops have set fire to the shipyard, and the fire has spread to In the Tang military camp, the Tang people are currently putting out the fire desperately. We have few soldiers. Please come to the censor quickly to help." Lun Ruozan looked at the fire from a distance and saw that half of the sky was red. He knew that the fire was very powerful, and Yue Jizhao's people had hostages on their swords. Sichuan, so there was no doubt that he was there, and he immediately ordered the entire army to attack. Not only him, but also the Nanzhao soldiers at Longwei Pass also noticed something unusual in the direction of Hedong Prefecture. They were so close that they even heard the faint sound of shouting to put out the fire. . They hurriedly reported to Ge Luofeng who had arrived at Longwei Pass. Ge Luofeng was overjoyed when he heard the news. He immediately gathered his troops and led the army with General Hong Guang waiting. He was still a little cautious and ordered people to take a boat to cross the Erhai Lake. We went to observe, and when we learned that the fire was indeed caused by the Tang military shipyard and military camp, we immediately ordered all the troops to march forward. Just as the Nanzhao soldiers were leaving Longwei Pass, the dog soldiers there had already arrived at the fire scene a few days away. Looking from a hundred steps away, there were numerous figures in the fire scene, and the sounds of shouting and shouting could be heard all the time. The Tang people devoted themselves to putting out the fire, but they did not let the scouts go. When they reached this distance, the Tang people did not respond. Because he was closer to the fire scene, Lun Ruozan smelled the smell of charcoal and some tree oil. Lun Ruozan looked at it for a moment, and his subordinates urged him, and he immediately ordered: "God help me, kill." ¡± The Quanrong people immediately cheered and rushed towards the Tang army in the fire scene. Lun Ruozan saw his army rushing over, and the Tang army who was caught off guard were driven into the sea of ????fire. A smile appeared on his face, but the smile only appeared when he suddenly heard the sound around him. The drums sounded in unison, earth-shattering. The smile on Lun Ruozan's face suddenly froze. Immediately afterwards, countless rockets flew into the air from all directions. Although this place was far away from the shipyard, it was also filled with all kinds of wood. Lun Ruozan just now. The smell that Zan smells is actually emitted from these flammable things.After being hit by the rocket, fire suddenly broke out. A moment later, the fire also shot into the sky, and the fire in the shipyard became one. "It fell into the trap Yue analyzed that there was something wrong with the imperial edict." At this time, Ruo Ruozan said No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't climb to the position of Tubo censor. He looked around in panic. Although there were hundreds of soldiers protecting him, he still didn't feel safe at all. "Return to the army, send the order to return to the army," Lun Qiliyu shouted. "Yes, return to the army, return to the army." Lun Ruozan suddenly woke up. Since he had fallen into a trap this time, escaping was the most important thing. As long as he could escape and return to the military camp, he could still look for opportunities to fight again. But since Ye Chang had lured him out, how could he let them go so easily? They broke out of the fire, and were faced with a dense rain of arrows and fireballs thrown by a small trebuchet, forcing them back into the fire. "This "Lun Ruozan's beard and hair were all burnt, and the corners of his mouth were blistered. He shouted harshly, and finally gathered his troops again. Using his own soldiers as supervisors, he forced the troops to rush forward, risking flying arrows and fireballs. Finally, with great difficulty, Just rushed out of the fire. At this time, when I look around me, there are only a few hundred riders. He cried loudly. The Tang army's plan this time was not very clever, but because of his pride, he jumped in. Even if he escaped back to Iron Bridge City, he would be disgraced. "Censor, leave quickly, the Tang army will come to pursue you," his subordinates pulled him and said. He cried while retreating, gathering the defeated soldiers along the way, and gradually there were thousands of them. He saw that he had gone five or six miles to the fire scene, and he would be out of danger in another five or six miles. At this moment, he suddenly saw fire starting again behind him. Hundreds of cavalry Tang troops rushed over with torches in their hands and shouts. "This Tang army was extremely brave. Although there were only 500 cavalry, they broke into the Dog Rong army and felt like they were in an uninhabited country. They were the first general and were invincible. The Dog Rong troops were numerous." The warriors in the army intercepted and encircled them, but he broke through and killed them all. In the blink of an eye, he penetrated the Quan Rong army formation, forcing the Quan Rong troops to form a formation to fight. "Ye Chang, the military commander of Jiannan in the Tang Dynasty, is here." Someone He shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed." Hearing this cry, Lun Ruozan looked back and saw a Tang general riding in the firelight, with bright gray armor and eyes like lightning, looking towards him from a distance. "This is Ye Chang." Lun Ruozan took a deep look at this man, trying to keep his image in mind, and then kicked the horse's belly hard. His horse neighed loudly and galloped away. Governor Ye Chang charged and killed for a while. Seeing that Quan Rong was completely discouraged and could no longer organize a counterattack, he led his army back. On the way, he killed three groups of defeated Quan Rong soldiers who had gathered. When he returned to his barracks, he heard Someone came to report: "Nanzhao soldiers have left Longwei Pass." Ye Chang was overjoyed: "Do you have enough energy to fight again?" "Yes" the soldiers around him shouted. Although they fought several battles, everyone was so excited about such a great victory that they did not take the next battle into their hearts at all. "The Quan Rong are guest soldiers. They have come from afar and are very tired. They fell into my scheme. It is natural to defeat them. Nanzhao is the main force and has the advantage of the terrain. When fighting with them, we must not be careless." Ye Chang said again : "Since everyone still has some strength left, let's give Nanzhao another head-on blow."
