Ye Chang held his battle flag in one hand and held a knife in the other, riding on his horse and looking at the battlefield in front of him. He could see that within fifty steps in front of Iron Bridge Pass, there were piles of corpses. There are Dog Rong people everywhere in the mountains and plains, but at this moment, they are all in despair, either abandoning their swords and kneeling, or burrowing into the grass like headless flies. Everyone is trembling, but there is no one in a hundred who still has fighting spirit. "Someone, Ye Chang, the military envoy from Jiannan of the Tang Dynasty, is here. Those who surrender will be spared from death." Ye Chang's voice rang out, and it was sonorous and powerful in the silence. Quan Rong has completely lost their fighting spirit. If they cannot break the Iron Bridge Pass, they will not be able to return to their homeland. The successive tragic defeats, running, and bloody battles have exhausted their last strength. Although they also knew that the Tang army was as tired as they were and that the Tang army might not be as numerous as them, they just couldn't muster any strength. ¡°Kneel down and avoid death, surrender without being killed,¡± behind Ye Chang, the Tang army shouted in unison. " Lu Ruozan's eyes straightened. He saw Ye Chang and recognized this figure. In the past few days, this figure has been like a nightmare, haunting him and leaving him with nowhere to escape. Now, this figure appeared in his sight again. He was numb and completely lost his intention to escape. "Yu Shi, Yu Shi" said Lun Qi Liyu next to him with a cry. He also recognized the knight next to Ye Chang. . On the bank of Erhai Lake, the knight chased him for twenty miles, and he only managed to escape with the support of the barbarians. What he feels strange now is why Ye Chang dared to ignore Nanzhao and personally lead people to chase them. But now is not the time to think about this. How to escape is the key. Lun Ruozan was brought back to his senses by him and let out a long sigh. "I was ordered by Zanpu to guard Shenchuan and lead tens of thousands of soldiers. When we were defeated, if Zanpu spared me, how could I face those tribes who had lost their fathers and brothers?" Lun Ruozan said to Lunqi. Li Yu said: "You have been in Shenchuan for a long time and are familiar with this place. Today, you have to take back Iron Bridge City and avenge your shame. You can go alone. I will definitely give you a chance to escape after breaking up here." "The bridge has been taken away." , How else can I escape back?" Although Lun Qiliyu was moved, he couldn't help but despair. "Escape from here first, and then take a detour Even if you take a detour of two thousand or three thousand miles, you have to go back. Go back and tell Zanpu, This Ye Chang, be careful about him, you must kill him." When Luo Zan mentioned Ye Chang's name, he gritted his teeth and resented him endlessly. While Lun Qiliyu was about to say more, Lun Ruozan pushed him and shouted: "Quickly go." Lun Qiliyu staggered a few steps and looked back, only to see Lun Ruozan raising his knife. He said to the guards beside him: "Whoever comes with me to take off the head of General Tang, as long as he is killed, the Tang army will collapse without a fight." As he spoke, he moved forward. After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether there was anyone or not. Then, he rushed towards Ye Chang. More than ten dog soldiers followed him sparsely. There were still more people following him, but in the end, there were less than a hundred people. Lun Qiliyu stared blankly, seeing Tang Jun raising a hand crossbow that was different from what he had seen before, and seeing Lun Ruozan's organized final charge turn into a flying crossbow amidst the torrential rain of arrows. Seeking death like a moth drawn to a flame. He finally came to his senses and turned around to find a way to escape. What Ruozan said about Ruozan is that if he doesn't leave, who will spread the horror of this Tang general named Ye Chang back to the royal court of Zanpu, and who will take revenge and regain this important place in Shenchuan? But next to Ye Chang, there is another pair Her eyes were staring at him. Wang Yang'er has sharp eyes, and Lun Qiliyu was standing next to the coach Lun Ruozan, so Wang Yang'er recognized at a glance that this guy was the Canu Rong general who narrowly escaped from him. This big fish was not caught last time, which made him feel awkward for a long time. How could he let it go now? Not only him, seeing the arrival of Ye Chang, Quanrong completely lost the will to resist, and each of them either fled into the mountains or abandoned it. The soldiers surrendered, and the Tang army in Iron Bridge City was also in high spirits. Shanzhi stepped down from the city wall directly on the corpse: They had fought bloody battles for so long, how could they not show their faces when they were surrendered? From a high place, he saw Wang Yang'er leaving Ye Chang's side, getting off his horse and walking up the mountain. It seemed that he was Chasing someone. Shanzhi also noticed Lun Qiliyu. Thinking that Wang Yang'er had thrown him somersault, Shanzhi rolled his eyes and had an idea. This guy has made him lose face before. If he wants to capture his target before him this time, he will definitely be furious to death. As soon as he thought of this, Shanzhi followed him to the mountain. He fought at the top of the city for a long time, and he had already seen the nearby terrain clearly. This way, he would cut off Lun Qiliyu's path. The Dog Rong soldiers surrendered one after another. The Tang army behind Ye Chang stepped forward in waves, disarmed the surrendering Dog Rong soldiers, and then drove them all into a ravine. Ye Chang then followed the bloodstains and fled up the mountain road, arriving in front of Iron Bridge City. Gao Shi came out with a smile and handed over to Ye Chang: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." "Only Brother Gao can accomplish this great feat." Ye Chang raised his thumb and praised: "This battle can compete for all the merits, but Brother Gao takes the second place." "bit" highShi pretended to be dissatisfied, blowing his beard and staring: "I am in second place, who is the leader?" Ye Chang looked at Ashima beside him with a smile: "Ŷ¾ê and Yue Jizhao, first help me lure the dog soldiers into the trap, and then "He helped Brother Gao seize Iron Bridge City, he has made great contributions, and he should be the chief." Ashima's face turned red, and the faces of the barbarians around her were all red. They had seen Ye Chang's power with their own eyes, and as soon as they arrived, Quan Rong They all knelt down and begged to surrender, so they were all extremely excited to be praised by Ye Chang. "Since I have the first merit, I wonder what reward the ambassador will get." Ashima asked with a smile. "Of course there is. Do you still remember what I told you last time? I would like to ask you to start a sugar research project and ask you to plant more sugarcane." "Remember" "From Yuexizhou to Baozhou, it's a long journey South of Xijiang River is the land where Yue Jizhao grows sugar cane. Half of the captured Quan Rong will be given to you as sugarcane slaves. What do you think?" Ashima was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, which allowed Yue Jizhao to take actual control. The territory expanded three times, and these Quanrong people were used as slaves of Yue Jizhao, which also solved the huge problem of labor shortage that Yue Jizhao was facing now. "But" Ye Chang said again. Hearing this "but", Ashima immediately calmed down. She knew that things were not that simple. This time, Ye Chang won consecutively. Yue Jizhao did help a lot and contributed a lot, but the reward given by Ye Chang It was too rich, far beyond Ashima's imagination. "I knew it wouldn't be so cheap. If you have anything to say, just say it. This is where you are most unhappy." Hearing Ashima complain about himself like this, Ye Chang smiled: "However, when the court treated Piro It can be said that Ge is the most benevolent and righteous, and it is even more generous than the imperial edict I have given you now. However, it was only two years after Piro Ge died that Ge Luofeng became rebellious. Wei Niang, be prepared for danger in times of peace. I just want to ask you, how can you guarantee that your descendants will not betray the Tang Dynasty? " He did not lower his voice and deliberately let the barbarians around Ashima hear these words. Sure enough, the faces of those barbarians suddenly changed. They helped Datang this time, firstly to retaliate against Nanzhao, and secondly, they also had selfish motives. , who doesn¡¯t want to get the full support of the Tang Dynasty and become the leader of the Six Zhaos just like Nanzhao did? But Ye Chang made it clear, no one dares to say that he will always be loyal to the Tang Dynasty in the future. Mr. Lang, what do you think? "Ashima felt a little angry when facing Ye Chang. "This is not the young man she kidnapped by the Yellow River, but a famous general who commanded 30,000 troops to defeat 70,000 enemy troops. With one look and one thought, he Hundreds of people may die. " "Meeting an alliance? "Ashima repeated in surprise, and then understood the key point: "What are the provisions of the covenant? " "First, Yunnan is the land of China and the Tang Dynasty. " "No objection" "Secondly, all the imperial edicts and barbarians are the people of China and ministers of the Tang Dynasty" "There is also no objection" The two of them talked about it. The first two clauses had nothing new, but when it came to the third clause, Ashima's expression froze. "Thirdly, in order to prevent the barbarians from attacking each other, all tribes were not allowed to recruit troops without authorization. As soon as the troops were strengthened, they were merged into the Yunnan regiment training envoy. The chief envoy of Tuanlian must be appointed by the imperial court, and the deputy envoys must be recommended by the various ministries. The army must be Han people who record military affairs and join the army, and teach them according to the military system of the Tang Dynasty." This is to take away part of the military power of each ministry. Ashima is a little hesitant about this. If there is no How are their tribes different from the Han people in terms of military power? How do they rely on the power of their tribal leaders? Ye Chang is determined not to allow the imperial barbarians to have standing troops, as for the private half-peasant and half-military forces. , this is inevitable, and he is not in a hurry to solve it all at once. What he is more interested in is the need for Han people to join the army, that is, to send military advisers to the army composed of barbarians. With the help of these military advisers, To a certain extent, they influenced and controlled this barbarian army. "Fourth, the barbarians were poor because they did not know how to produce, so the imperial court appointed officials to assist various ministries, prepare household registrations, cultivate fields, and plant and work. " Ye Chang played another trap at this fourth point. In name, he sent persuasive officers to assist the ministries, but in fact he sent production consultants to intervene in the civil affairs of the Barbarians and intervene in the affairs of the Barbarians. This is clearly for the purpose of directly ruling the Barbarians in the future. Making preparations, but under the guise of solving the poverty problem of the barbarians, Ashima, who was visionary and smart among the barbarians, could not help but be confused by this. You must know that even if the imperial court did not appoint people, they also hired Han people to serve in various edicts. The official position is Nanzhao's rebellion, and Jiang Ruzhi and other Han people have been re-employed. General Yin and the military and political items at the front were compared again and again. Ashima gritted her teeth and said, "Our department is willing to start from these third and fourth items. You are very smart. With you in Yue Jizhao, there will be no problems for at least thirty to fifty years. And it does not take thirty to fifty years, but only five or even three years. You will know that agreeing to the third and fourth items is actually right. You only have advantages and no disadvantages." Ashima smiled bitterly. Can she not agree to this? With Ye Chang's new victory, I am afraid that no tribe in the entire Yunnan would dare to disobey his edict. "You have seen the wealth of the Central Plains with your own eyes. However, the wealth of the Central Plains did not come out of thin air. It is the result of the hard work of the Han people. Yunnan has natural treasures, including mountain treasures, forest treasures, minerals, fisheries and salts, and even tea, Silk can also be produced in Yunnan, but why are the barbarians so poor? They can't rely on natural resources to support themselves. My third and fourth article is to help the barbarians do this. A hundred years later, Han and barbarians will be one. Looking back at this moment, you are a saint among barbarians." "Barbarians don't have much resistance to Chineseization. At this time, China already has unparalleled attractions. Her culture, wealth and even her lifestyle are all very attractive to them. The surrounding tribes have extremely strong influence. What's more, these barbarians are divided into black barbarians and white barbarians. Most of the white barbarians are originally Han people. Hearing Ye Chang's addition, Ashima smiled bitterly: "I just ask that in a hundred years, future generations will not accuse me of bringing wolves into the house." "How can I be such a good teacher?" Ye Chang finished talking to her, Turning his eyes, he realized that he had never seen Monk Shanzhi. His expression suddenly became solemn and he asked Gao Shi. "I was here just now, but now I don't know where I am" Gao Shi was also a little surprised. At this time, Wang Yang'er was chasing Lun Qiliyu. Although Lun Qiliyu was more familiar with the terrain in this area than Wang Yang'er, he was hungry and tired after repeated battles. Even though he had abandoned all his armor and soldiers, his physical strength was still a bit low. Not on. Wang Yang'er stared at his back closely, closing the distance step by step, but when he saw that the distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps, Lun Qili Yu had disappeared. Wang Yang'er thought he had lost track of him, so he climbed to a higher place, hoping to catch him. Seeing the whereabouts of Lun Qiliyu from a high point, he climbed up a rock and stretched his head out, but he yelled and turned his head hurriedly. It turns out that Lun Qiliyu did not escape, but sneaked here. She expected that he would come to observe from a higher place, so she had already moved a stone in hand. As soon as Wang Yang'er stretched out his head, Lun Qiliyu said nothing and threw the stone at Wang Yang'er's head. Wang Yang'er tilted his head and let go. He slid down the rock, but he was still hit by the stone on his shoulder. , the pain made him scream. He accidentally rolled down the rock, his weapon was thrown away, and he was knocked unconscious from the fall. Just as he was about to get up, Lun Qiliyu jumped down from the rock, sat on him, and struck him with a punch. "Tang Gou, you are chasing me so wildly. Now you know how powerful I am." Lun Qiliyu beat him hard and cursed at the same time. Wang Yang'er stretched out his hand to block, but one arm was hit just now and could not be raised. The other hand was also weak, and was hit on the head by Lun Qili's rain-like fists, which made his head even more confused. feel sleepy. He was shocked in his heart: Today is going to be bad, he is going to be killed by this barbarian general. At this moment, he saw the barbarian general's body suddenly shook, his eyes straightened, and the raised fist floated down. He took the opportunity to push the barbarian general away and thought When he was about to get up, he saw a slutty head in front of him, smiling at him slyly. "Ah yo" Wang Yang'er was startled, and then he recognized that this ugly face was none other than Shanzhi. "Boy, you were very powerful back then. Even Grandpa Monk and I were knocked down by you. How come it's so miserable now that I can't even beat a barbarian?" Shanzhi laughed, while holding down Lun Qiliyu and tying him up. , while mocking him. Wang Yang'er's nose was so angry that he stood up and kicked Lun Qiliyu hard: "You barbarian dog, you dare to cheat on me, grandpa, and make grandpa laugh at this ugly monk." Lun Qiliyu was kicked hard by this kick Unable to breathe, Wang Yang'er wanted to kick again, but was stopped by Shanzhi: "He is my prisoner. If you want to kick him, go grab one and kick him yourself."
