Three poles of the sun were rising, illuminating the scorched, dark and red earth. The Erhai Lake, which was originally a sea of ??flowers, was now a mess. Ye Chang's eyes were a little red, not because of the casualties. He was old enough to fight wars by now. He fought from Hexi to Liaodong and then to Yunnan. After seeing too much life and death, he became a little numb. He had not slept all night and fought fiercely all night. Although he had always been in good health, he was already very tired at this time. "Captured the Black Dragon Bridge?" The messenger who heard back conveyed the news, and Ye Chang took a breath of air: "He is far behindhow many people does he have in his hands now?" "No more than two hundred riders." "Two hundred riders." Trouble, Ye Ying." Ye Ying came in response, with excitement still on his face. Capturing an enemy general on the battlefield was a rare experience. After returning to Liaodong, he had many things to brag about. "Immediately gather three thousand people and rush to Heilong Bridge to meet Wang Yang'er. If Nanzhao counterattacks and seizes the bridge, just give the bridge to them. As long as the return route on the bridge is cut off, the defeated barbarians will be unable to return to the city. That's it." Ye Ying got the order and ran. Ye Chang sat back on a stone and took a nap. He heard someone calling him: "Ambassador, Ambassador." When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Wang Tianyun. Wang Tianyun's face was full of ecstasy. When he saw Ye Chang opened his eyes, he took two steps back, and then bowed deeply: "Congratulations, Ambassador, for a great victory, a great victory." Ye Chang blocked Nanzhao by himself and cleaned up the defeated Quanrong army in the fire scene. He handed over the matter to Wang Tianyun. After hearing what he said about the great victory, Ye Chang knew that the result of the battle would be brilliant, and he was happy in his heart, but his face was calm and calm: "It's just a small plan What are the casualties of our army?" " "Our army's casualties are less than one thousand and five," Wang Tianyun said excitedly: "Now it is calculated that the bodies of Quanrong have exceeded six thousand, and there are still some burned in one place in the fire. It is really impossible to calculate. We can only roughly estimate that the number exceeds four thousand. This kill exceeded 10,000, and there were nearly 10,000 prisoners. Fifty thousand dogs, soldiers, and horses came to attack, but only half of them escaped. "This is a rare victory. Wang Tianyun has never won such a victory, so he is extremely excited." When Ye Chang heard this harvest, he was still a little dissatisfied. If he hadn't returned to the army to block Nanzhao's reinforcements, he would have been unable to return. "Thank you for your hard work. This is because Wang Yuhou and his soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy. They have achieved this feat. I will definitely report it to the emperor to prevent the meritorious officials from being deprived of their merits." "The ambassador is better at strategizing" When Wang Tianyun said this, he couldn't help but take his money. He said in his heart: "I have worked with many superiors in my humble position, and there has never been any boss who can be as happy as the ambassador, and there has never been a superior who can win the military's morale as well as the ambassador Just now, I said that I would come and report to the ambassador." "Gong, all the men under him want to follow, just to see the ambassador." Ye Chang's heart moved, and he stood up: "Since the soldiers want to see me, I have to come General Wang, thank you for your hard work and come with me again." "Let's run." Wang Tianxing's side had an ambush and fire attack, so the casualties of his own troops were not heavy. However, Ye Chang's battle to block Nanzhao was a battle in the wilderness, and the number of casualties exceeded 1,500. Considering that Ye Chang only had 10,000 people in his hands, the casualty ratio of these 1,500 was already relatively high. Fortunately, wherever Ye Chang goes, he may take less other things with him, but he always brings a lot of military doctors. Therefore, there are a lot of military doctors in the army. These people have practiced surgery in Liaodong for several years, and they are all good surgeons. It can even perform some simple excision and suturing operations, so about half of the seriously injured people who would have died can be rescued. It is a pity that until now, there has been no progress in research on blood types. Otherwise, more people could be saved if blood transfusions could be carried out. In this battle, the Tang army had 30,000 people, and the Quanrong and Nanzhao coalition forces had 70,000 people. The Quanrong army lost nearly half, while Nanzhao's 20,000 reinforcements were almost completely exhausted. Only less than 30,000 people actually escaped. The Tang army only captured prisoners. More than ten thousand. How to deal with these captives became a problem. At this time, the roles of Chengjie, Wang Guitang and others came into play. They recruited men from among the barbarian captives, and the two of them raised their own troops. Although these people are not yet worthy of immediate trust, there is no problem in at least letting them drive the captives of the Dog Rong to do hard work. Ye Chang was here to clean up the aftermath, and the dragon's tail was closed. Ge Luofeng had a desolate look on his face, looking at the nearby Black Dragon Bridge, where a group of Tang soldiers were showing off their power. He stroked the ultimatum for a long time without making a sound. In the battle of Kunchuan, he had already lost more than 10,000 men. In today's battle, he had lost another 20,000 men. Now he only has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in his hands. Moreover, these soldiers and horses were frightened and had been killed by the Tang army. After losing their souls, if they really let them go out to fight, they would probably run away immediately. At this time, he also received news that Quanrong also suffered a disastrous defeat and suffered no less losses than him. This was the only thing that gave him some comfort: it was not that he was incompetent, but that the Tang army was too powerful. In just a few months, how could the Tang army, which had been beaten so hard by him before, become so powerful? Why didn't the Tang army, who had previously fallen ill as soon as he entered Yunnan, become ill? How could the Tang army, which had low morale and poor military discipline before, become so high-spirited and disciplined? A series of questions were swirling around in his mind, making him feel tight and short of breath, making him almost unable to breathe. This rebellion was due to himIt seems that they have seized this rare opportunity. The two guys who really have some vision, Li Longji and Li Linfu, are old, and the rest are either incompetent or mediocre, but arrogant and arrogant. To seize this opportunity, as long as they can If he wins one or two battles, he will own the whole of Yunnan. By that time, Li Longji and Li Linfu were almost dead. He sent envoys to Chang'an to sue for peace. In order to whitewash peace, the new emperor would definitely agree to his peace sue. After taking advantage of all the advantages, it suddenly transformed into a vassal state that was obedient to the Tang Dynasty. It received rewards and support from the Tang Dynasty every year. After the digestion was completed, it started another rebellion But it happened that Ye Chang was born. This person was originally In the northeast, why did he come to the southwest? "Your Majesty, do you want to seize the Black Dragon Bridge?" Zhao Quandeng said in a low voice next to him. "No need no need" Ge Luofeng calmed down. He can't fall down yet. There is no point in seizing the Black Dragon Bridge. It is obvious that the Tang Army will not attack Longwei Pass. Although the shipyard was burned, the Tang Army can definitely continue After rebuilding, they can cross the Erhai Lake by boat as soon as the warship is completed. The west coast of Erhai Lake is hundreds of miles long from north to south. Any point can be a landing place for the Tang army, but Nanzhao has insufficient troops and cannot hold it at all. After pondering over it, Ge Luofeng realized that his only choice now was to abandon Longwei Pass and return to Taihe City Cage City. "But Taihe City was built by other Piro Pavilions, and its defense has always relied on the North and South Passes. The city's defense itself is not very strong, and without the North and South Passes, how can it be defended with only an isolated city?" While Ge Luofeng was hesitating, he suddenly saw a commotion among the Tang people on the other side of the Black Dragon Bridge, and then the cheers of the Tang army spread. "The reinforcements from the Tang Army have arrived" the subordinate said quietly. Ge Luofeng looked around and indeed saw the flag of the Tang Army in the distance. He pursed his lips, turned around and went down to the city. It was really difficult to make a decision in his heart. Outside, the Tang army cheered from time to time, but inside Longwei Pass, everything was lifeless. In the afternoon, Ge Luofeng was sitting in his temporary hall in a daze when he suddenly heard the Tang army outside the pass cheering again, and the sound was deafening, as if the sky was about to collapse. He was shocked. He originally thought that the Tang army would not attack Longwei Pass. Could it be that he was wrong again? Thinking of Lian Lian's losses in the hands of Ye Chang, he could no longer sit still, stood up and shouted loudly: "Go to the city, prepare to defend the city." After reaching the city wall, he realized that the Tang army did not come to attack, but another group of Tang soldiers had arrived. Looking carefully at the flag of the Tang Army, Ge Luofeng took a breath and said: "Ye Chang is here." Ye Chang's flag appeared under the Longweiguan City. The Tang Army was inspired by it and cheered really loudly. Ge Luofeng stared at the big flag and found that wherever the flag went, the Tang army there became excited and waved the flag non-stop. Obviously, Ye Chang's prestige in this Tang army had reached a peak. The divination before the war Money and successive victories during the war made the Tang army ignore the fact that they themselves also suffered casualties. What almost every Tang army thought about was to conquer Nanzhao under the leadership of Ye Chang, and everyone would fight to seal their wives and children. Returning home in fine clothes. "Who is Ye Chang, who is Ye Chang?" Ge Luofeng asked through gritted teeth. Not long after, I saw several people coming out of the Tang army and approaching Guancheng. The people on the city suddenly became nervous. Ge Luofeng squinted his eyes and saw that these people were dressed as barbarians. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately ordered: "Shoot them." There were archers at the top of the city aiming down, but those few people Each held a shield to block the man in the middle. The man in the middle hid behind the shield and began to speak loudly in barbarian language. "According to the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Geluofeng was removed from the title of King of Yunnan and dismissed from his post as the head of Nanzhao Chengjie is the legitimate son of Piluoge, the original king of Yunnan. He has a loyal and obedient temperament, is generous and benevolent, and should be established as Nanzhao. The Lord of the imperial edict, inherited the position of the king of Yunnan. Now Xu Chengjie has established a royal court in the hometown of Nanzhao, and the old officials of Nanzhao have surrendered Those who obey can leave it alone, and those who disobey will be killed by their entire family." But he came to declare the order for Chengjie. Chengjie is the legitimate son of Piroge. When Geluofeng was held hostage in Chang'an, he was favored by Piroge. Geluofeng only relied on his early achievements in conquering the Five Imperial Edicts for Piroge and won the support of various ministries before he inherited the throne. . At this time, Chengjie raised a flag to call for surrender, and the barbarian officers and soldiers in the city suddenly became confused. If they had not suffered consecutive defeats, everyone would have been loyal to Ge Luofeng, but now that they have suffered successive defeats, Nanzhao has lost most of its strength, but it still has nothing to do against the Tang army. Under such circumstances, everyone would consider looking for another way out. Ge Luofeng looked gloomy and looked around him. Most of the soldiers around him avoided his gaze. Although he was angry in his heart, he did not show it in the end. Fortunately, the generals around him now were not only the members of Mengxi Zhao, but also the other Five Zhaos and other barbarian leaders. These people have no feelings for Chengjie, and Chengjie has no prestige among them. At this moment, the person who conveyed the order said again: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has decreed, because Ge Luofeng has rebelled against the will of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.Shi, slaughtered various tribes, but the remaining people of each tribe were quite respectful, and even went to the palace to cry for help. Therefore, the old land of Wuzhao was restored, and all the people of Wuzhao who could make great contributions in the conquest of Geluofengzhong could be given a title. "The person who captures Ge Luofengxian will be the master of the imperial edict." Hearing this order, Ge Luofeng was immediately shaken and could no longer maintain his composure. He screamed: "Shoot him, shoot him." The soldiers around him started shooting arrows randomly. Shoot down, but the shield wall of five or six people on the other side is very tightly defended, and they are not close to Guancheng, so they can't find the angle of the shot. They can only hear the barbarian chant three times in a row, and then everyone retreats safely. Ge Luofeng. Looking at Ye Chang's banner in the distance in horror, he knew in his heart that all this must be Ye Chang's plan again. This is a conspiracy. Once this order is announced, there are not many people in Ge Luofeng who can trust him in Longwei Pass. He looked south, and then was startled by a burst of whispers. When he turned around, he saw a pair of doubtful and fearful eyes. Ge Luofeng thought that someone might sacrifice him to Tang Jun, and he suddenly pulled out his head. He drew his sword and chopped down a white barbarian leader beside him: "You traitor, you want to plot rebellion." Before the white barbarian leader could react, he was chopped down to the ground, and then Ge Luofeng chopped off his head with another knife. Ji, and then kicked Shoji in front of everyone. Everyone stepped back and looked at him in horror. "This thief listened to the deception of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to rebel, so I have killed him." Ge Luofeng said sternly: "Come here, give me my order to kill all the thieves in the family, old and young. No one will be spared." This bloody and cruel method finally calmed everyone down, but Ge Luofeng understood that this was only temporary, and it was a poison to quench thirst. . But just now he couldn't control himself, and he felt that if he didn't do this, the subordinates around him would immediately kidnap him and sacrifice him to the Tang people. "Rather than let them surrender, it's better for me" He secretly thought in his heart. With an idea, Ge Luofeng ordered his confidants to guard the moment and entered the pass again. Since Ye Chang started to attack the heart, it meant that he would not launch an attack immediately. There was no need to worry about the safety of Longwei Pass for the time being. He secretly summoned his younger brother Ge Bei. , so he took a boat alone and went to the Tang army quietly. Ge Pei followed his instructions and went. Next, Ge Luofeng was restless in his temporary palace for a while. He immediately attacked the city, but his troops had no fighting spirit and might not be able to defend Longwei Pass. After a while, he felt that he was surrounded by others, and the troops outside might rebel at any time. At night, after hearing the report, the emissary he sent finally returned. He was immediately overjoyed and called Gebei inside. After meeting him, he asked, "How is it? Ye Chang has seen you before?" " Gepi's expression was no longer calm. He could scare Lun Ruozan by pretending to be a ghost, but when he used this trick in front of Ye Chang, it was like a little witch meeting a big witch. Hearing his brother ask him, he was frustrated. Authentic: "Yes, I have seen it, but Ye Chang doesn't agree to surrender." "What, why don't you agree to surrender? I promised to send my son to guard Chang'an, why doesn't he agree to surrender?" "Ge Luofeng shouted half desperately and half madly. "He saidhe said that the era of making a big fuss, massacring the Han people, and then defrauding the Han emperors of benefits is gone forever." Gepi He also said in despair: "Brother, it's over, we're all over
