What Ye Chang said was even more intense than what Seng Gepi said. "Go back and tell Ge Luofeng that I am very grateful to him. He uses his madness as a warning for future generations. From now on, people who think that they will make a big fuss and kill some Han people, and then the Han government will come over in a servile manner The era of coaxing and protecting, and not hesitate to offer people's fat and anointment to please, is over. Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished even if he is far away. Please start from Ge Luofeng. If you rebel, you may escape death, but Ge Luofeng himself and his relatives will not be punished. The punishment of breaking up a chariot and Lingchi was not enough to atone for his sins or to rest the souls of the innocent people who died in Yunnan City before." At that time, Seng Gepi was very shocked and said that such an act was so cruel and cruel that it must be punished by God. However, Ye Chang said He replied: "The slightest kindness towards separatist and rebellious people like Ge Luofeng is cruel to the Han people and the Chinese people who are willing to join hands with the Han people. As a general of the Tang Dynasty and an official of China, I only have to consider how to treat the Chinese people." The people of the Tang Dynasty can be merciful." This not only cut off Ge Luofeng's chance to surrender, but also his family members were sentenced to death. Hearing this, Ge Luofeng became furious and stood up suddenly: "If this is the case, then Just fight to the death and let this Erhai Lake turn into a sea of ??blood." He made up his mind, walked around the palace for a while, and then said to the monk pavilion: "Brother, I still need to trouble you." "Brother, just give me the instructions, that Ye Chang said that I was one of the chief culprits in advising the king, and he was bound to die. It was only because he asked me to serve as the envoy that I was spared my life." Ge Bei said sadly. "Don't be afraid of him. He has the ability to capture our brothers." Ge Luofeng sneered, and then said: "In that case, I will fight to the death Please, my dear brother, go to Longshou Pass as quickly as possible. It just so happens that the soil The Tibetan soldiers and horses envoy Lun Qili is here with me. You go with him. He only said that I want to bring all the people in the country and donate all the land, people, wealth and silk to Tubo Zanpu." His decision made Gebei stunned. " Brother, why is this happening?" Gebei said hurriedly after regaining consciousness. "That's it. Since Ye Chang is forcing me, I can't do anything to him, so I will ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to deal with him for me. After you go to offer the soil, please ask Lun Ruozan to quickly request reinforcements from his country. I don't believe that Chide Zuzan can Abandoning this country and ignoring Chide Zuzan's help, even if we cannot defend Taihe City and retreat to Longshou Pass or Jianchuan, we will eventually come back. And not only that, I will send people. Go to Chengdu, Chang'an, and other places in the Tang Dynasty to spread the word that Ye Chang intends to separate Yunnan for self-reliance, and that I wanted to surrender but was bullied and forced to rebel. The Tang Emperor is old and suspicious and will not tolerate him and must call him back to the capital. "For Ge Luofeng, this was a lose-lose choice. With no retreat, he naturally had no choice but to make a desperate move. Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gebei thought that there was really no other way to retreat from the enemy, so he didn't rest at that moment and went straight to look for Qiliyu. When Lun Qiliyu was defeated, there were only more than ten soldiers left. He was originally very worried, fearing that he would be sent to the Tang Dynasty by Nanzhao, and feared that he would not be able to explain to Lun Ruozan and Tubo Zanpu when he returned. But after listening to what Gebei said After telling Ge Luofeng about his plan, he jumped up excitedly. Although failure on the battlefield will be punished, if you get Geluofeng Xianguo, he, as the manager, will have to make a big contribution, which will be enough to make up for it. He was also anxious, so he set off overnight and arrived at the Quanrong Military Camp in the northwest of Erhai Lake the next morning. As soon as he arrived here, Lun Qiliyu lost most of his excitement: the camp, which was originally bustling with people, was now empty. There were only some sounds, either the wails of wounded soldiers dying, or the half-mad dogs due to the tragic defeat. Rong Zhi cried. A desolate atmosphere enveloped the entire military camp. They had just arrived at the door when they suddenly heard a burst of crying and begging for mercy. Immediately afterwards, they saw more than a hundred barbarians being tied up and pushed to the camp gate. Each of them was killed with a knife, and their heads were cut off and hung. Lun Qiliyu took a closer look and recognized that these barbarians were the "ronin" who had taken refuge with them. He was shocked and pulled someone to ask: "Why is this?" , secretly colluded with the Tang people, so I killed them." "How is this possible? They moved to Jianchuandu for more than ten or twenty years, how could they secretly collude with the Tang people" Lun Qiliyu shouted in silence: "You guys stop, wait. I'll go and see the censor." Those "ronin" who were lucky enough not to have their heads chopped off immediately called Lun Qiliyu one by one, asking him to intercede for themselves. Lun Qiliyu and Ge Bei hurried into the camp. Hearing that Lun Ruozan was giving orders to pack things and prepare to leave the camp, he was surprised and said: "Censor, why is this?" Lun Ruozan turned around and saw Ge Pei at a glance. Pei's eyes suddenly turned red: "You monster monk, you came just in time. Someone came, drag him out and chop him down." People from around him immediately gathered around him, grabbed Ge Pei, and dragged him out of the camp. Lun Qiliyu said in surprise: "No, no, Censor, no!" "If this monster monk hadn't used magic to confuse us, how could we have attacked the Tang army at night, and how could we have suffered such a big loss?" Lun Ruo praised. : "He came just in time, saving me the chance to rush into Longshou Pass to find him. Soldiers and Horses, why do you want to protect him?" "Our defeat was due to the cunning of the Tang people and not the fault of the Pavilion Master." On Qili Yu Hard advice??: "Censor, Gebei Master came here this time to offer land to the country under the command of King Nanzhao. You cannot kill him." "To offer land to the country? Last time he came, deceived us, and sent those Yue people The spies who analyzed the imperial edict deceived us, and I injured 20,000 people, 20,000 people." Lun Ruozan was furious, pointing his halberd at the pavilion: "These Southern Barbarians are all liars, scoundrels, and scoundrels. Don't believe them. The best way to deal with them is to kill them with a knife. The face of the pavilion is as pale as earth. Before, he was pretending to be a god and a master, but now he is paralyzed on the ground. He can only kowtow and beg: "It's not my business, it's not my business." It's not that we didn't do our best, but that the Tang army was too cunning. Who knew that Yue Jizhao and other survivors would actually collude with the Tang army? " He begged hard. Over there, Lun Qili Yu also hugged Lun Ruozan who was about to draw his sword and kill him with his own hands. He signaled the guards to take him out first, and then said to Lun Ruozan: "Yu Shi, if we lose this battle, if If we go back like this, how can we deliver a message to Zanpu, and how can we prevent Lun Buchufu (the ninth minister of government affairs) from taking away the power of the censor? " When Lun Ruozan heard this, his heart moved, and his anger gradually subsided. "Censor, the only plan is to take Nanzhao and offer it to Zanpu. After obtaining the land, population and wealth of the Nanzhao country, Zanpu and Lun Bucai Fucai We will not be held accountable for the loss of our troops." After thinking for a while, Lun Ruozan nodded: "What you said makes sense. " "In this case, we still need barbarians to run around and use them. Let's not kill the barbarians outside for the time being. They have taken refuge with us for more than ten years. It is impossible for them to collude with the Tang State. Those who really colluded with the Tang State are those who later defected to us " At this point, Lun Ruozan and Lun Qiliyu suddenly looked at each other, and both of them shouted at the same time: "No!" "Those guys sent people to Jianchuan" "They still have my order in their hands" " They are not doing it for other things at all, but for" The eyes of the two people became wider and wider, and their faces became more and more ugly. At first, they just thought that Yue Jizhao would send the so-called old and weak to the sword. Sichuan is a move to reassure them. Now think about it carefully, is this really the only way? Iron Bridge City The goal of these people is obvious, which is the pass for the Quan Rong to enter and leave Yunnan. Iron Bridge City Thinking of this, the two of them almost lost their minds. Seriously, Ye Chang's fire attack in Hedong Prefecture and the defeat of the Nanzhao barbarians were all just a cover to conceal his real purpose. The Iron Bridge City of Shenchuan Governor's Mansion was the gateway for Tubo to enter and exit Yunnan. The road, with an iron cable as a bridge, crosses the Moxie River (Jinsha River). After the Tang Jiuzheng destroyed the Yangbijiang Iron Bridge in the first year of Jinglong, Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, this was the only passage for the Tibetan forces to collude with the barbarians. If this place is blocked, not only will the tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers and horses not be able to return to their hometown, but it will also mean that for a long time, the Tibetans will no longer be able to develop their power into Yunnan. From Iron Bridge to Jianchuan In this area, Tubo was originally equipped with heavy troops, but most of these troops were brought here by Lun Ruozan and Lun Qiliyu. Iron Bridge City was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it was really captured by the Tang Dynasty, it would only take a few seconds. There are hundreds of warriors stationed above, even if there are thousands of troops, it is impossible to recapture them in a hurry. "Damn it!" Lun Ruozan jumped up and said: "Come here, send people to Jianchuan immediately to kill all those barbarians. Kill them all." "He yelled at the top of his lungs. Although Yu Qili was panicking, he still kept some calmness and added: "They are those spies who are trying to escape the imperial edict." To the east of Iron Bridge City, there are about 100,000 people. The land is vast and sparsely populated. Although the two of them issued the order, they also knew that the order might be too late. Therefore, although they sent out fast horses to convey the news, they did not rush to send another cavalry and returned quickly without caring about the rest. Then he broke out of the camp again. As for Gepi, even Lun Qiliyu could not care about him at this time. If Iron Bridge City was lost, no matter how much Nanzhao offered soil, it would be meaningless to Tubo. If Iron Bridge was lost. The city was still there, and it was not too late for them to turn around and consider Nanzhao. So from the north of Erhai Lake, first more than ten cavalry messengers galloped out, then three groups of soldiers and horses each with about a thousand cavalry galloped northward, and then another group. It was the army heading north. On the plank road from Jianchuan to the Iron Bridge, Shanzhi opened his clothes, revealing his furry chest, and exclaimed at the snow-capped mountains everywhere, "It's already the season, you see." "Those mountains are still covered with snow." "Haha, Jiannan and Yunnan have many snow-capped mountains like this. Shiyilang said that the mountains are high and the breath is short, so people often feel uncomfortable walking there. However, the local natives have been here all year round and are used to it. "The person who spoke to Shanzhi was Gao Shi. The magnificent scenery of rivers and mountains in front of him was the easiest thing to inspire poetry, but at this time he had no intention of reciting poetry. He was thinking about other things. At the beginning, Ye Chang did it for him After fighting for an official position and getting the post of Secretary of the Jiedushi Envoy in Jiannan, he was not very successful in Jiannan. He exchanged letters with Ye Chang, and Ye Chang asked him to apply for a military envoyship. He was out of sympathy for Ye Chang. Trust, then leave ChengAll, arrived at the border. According to Ye Chang's suggestion, he recruited local Han and barbarian tribes and selected elite, strong and agile people. It took him four years to build the current army of 1,500 people. Ye Chang called them "mountain soldiers" who were accustomed to marching and fighting in high mountains and plateaus. Originally, he thought it would not be so easy for him to be put to use, but he never thought that just four years later, Ye Chang would arrive here from Liaodong. Sometimes Gao Shi even doubted whether Ye Chang had foresight and could foresee the opportunity, so he asked him to prepare in advance. When he asked Ye Chang for a battle, Ye Chang refused to let his troops fight the barbarians, but gave him an extremely bold and thrilling task: to capture Iron Bridge City by flying. If this strategy is successful, half of the major events in the southwest will be decided, and then it will be back to the fight for Anrong City (called Wuyou City in Tubo). The offensive and defensive positions of Datang and Quanrong in the southwest are about to change. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Can we really accomplish anything with our fifteen hundred men and the hundreds of barbarians who are with them? Gao Shi couldn't help but look at the barbarians. They were respectful along the way. During the occasional conversation, they admired Ye Chang's attitude. However, Gao Shi knew that this admiration was indirect and came from their leader, the man. Ashima, known as "Princess". Now this woman is in the team. Although she is a girl, she is hardworking and hardworking, and is not inferior to men at all. She has been marching for two days, almost day and night, and more than twenty people have lost their lives because they accidentally fell down the mountain bank or river valley, but this woman has not Pull next. "Ashima, look, look, that's the messenger from the Quanrong people." Gao Shi was wondering what was the reason why this barbarian girl had such perseverance, when he suddenly heard a barbarian barking. Gao Shi followed the sound, and at the foot of the mountain, three horses came galloping towards them, like a fire. "Gaolangjun, what do you think we should do?" Ashima knew that she was not good at commanding the battle, so she asked Gao Shi. "If you are captured, I will kill you if you ask for a confession." Gao Shi said without mercy. He had stayed in Jiannan for several years, and he knew very well how these dog soldiers harmed the southwest. He also understood that if allowed to develop, Jiannan, which was originally the rear area of ??the Tang Dynasty, might become a quagmire that would bring down the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he has no thoughts of mercy towards Quan Rong. It didn¡¯t take long before one of the three Quanrong messengers was killed and two were injured. The injured were dragged to Gao Shi. "Why are you here?" Gao Shi asked one person. "Bah" the Quanrong messenger spat and did not answer. Gao Shi kicked him over, breaking several of his teeth, and then turned to the other person: "Why are you here?" The other person stared at Gao Shi with resentment in his eyes: "The army will come here immediately. You spies don't want any of them. If you want to live, our brothers will catch up with you before reaching Iron Bridge City and kill you all." Hearing what he said, Gao Shi drew his sword and stabbed him to death. Another messenger also followed immediately. Gao Shi signaled and was killed by the Tang army. "I haven't asked for a confession yet" Ashima was a little surprised. "No need, they were sent by General Quan Rong to police the surrounding areas. I guess our identities have been exposed." Gao Shi smiled and said: "Now we must speed up, don't let Quan Rong's pursuers catch up, as long as we advance first Once we get to Iron Bridge City, we're done." After he finished speaking, he looked at Shanzhi and said, "Master Shanzhi, Shishilang sent you here, so it's clear that you are bound to win. I ask you to bring two hundred people and only two days of rations. Capture Iron Bridge City first, and I will arrive later. What do you think?" "No," Shanzhi replied sharply.
