    It's late summer.  From entering Sichuan in April, to the start of the war in May, and now, the war has lasted for four months.  Fortunately, thanks to his good planning and the sacrifice of his soldiers, the war went smoothly. Now he is commanding the army and has arrived at the foot of Taihe City. This newly built city cannot be said to have perfect defenses. It is said that Ge Luofeng originally planned to move the capital from here.  Looking at the city, Ye Chang smiled slightly.  "As expected by the ambassador, there was a commotion in the city, and people kept escaping. We just came from the south to report that the guard general of Nancheng has decided to dedicate the city, and Wang Tianyun is ready to take it over." "Well, it seems that we can defeat the enemy without fighting. As long as  I wonder who will take Geluofeng to offer it. "Ye Chang said with a smile: "However, we can't be careless. The pacification of Geluofeng is just the beginning. We will have to worry about it in the future. It will take at least half a year to wipe out all the remaining evildoers of Geluofeng.  , As for making Yunnan truly stable, it will take at least three to five years. "The person talking to him was Gao Shi. At this time, Gao Shi was in high spirits, and his victory in the battle of Iron Bridge City was enough to make his reputation reach the sky. Ye Chang.  I also secretly communicated with him, and expected that the imperial court would establish Yunnan Jiedushi next, and Ye Chang would be the first Jiedushi. However, Ye Chang only planned to stay in Yunnan for three years. After three years, Gao Shi would  will succeed.  "I rely on Shi Yilang to set a precedent, I only need Xiao Gui and Cao to follow." Gao Shi said with a smile.  "It's best for Brother Gao to do this. You must be careful when doing things. In five years, Yunnan will be self-sufficient. At that time, this territory will be stable. Maybe there are other territories that need to be explored by Brother Gao. A man, take advantage of  At this time, it is an honor to be able to expand the territory for future generations." "Only Shi Yilang, who is both skilled in military strategy and knowledgeable in political affairs, can manage the frontiers and open up borders during the Han Dynasty, which left the country empty and the people's resentment boiling.  , Mr. Shishi, you are playing a role, but the treasury is rich and the people are happy, it is really amazing. " Gao Shi is not a flatterer. He is indeed convinced of Ye Chang's plan. As the successor of Ye Chang's heart, Ye Chang secretly promised.  He told him all about his overall plan for Yunnan, and only he knew what kind of treasure Yunnan would be for Datang in the future.  Not only Yunnan, but also Lingnan and even Annan.  The two chatted and laughed in low voices, not caring about the Nanzhao army in the city at all. They expected that even if Ge Luofeng fought back desperately, it would not cause much damage. It might even be possible that the newly attached barbarian army alone would be enough to defeat Ge Luofeng.  Luo Feng was captured.  But at this moment, the trumpet sound in the city was suddenly heard, and then the north gate of Taihe City was opened. "Huh?" Ye Chang and Gao Shi were stunned.  Because there are barbarians who secretly defected to the Tang Dynasty in Taihe City, they are very aware of the defenses in the city.  Those on the Beicheng side are all Ge Luofeng's cronies, at least two thousand of them. These people are Ge Luofeng's capital to seize the throne of Nanzhao and will never surrender easily.  But now that they have opened the city gate are they really planning to fight back to the death?  But the next scene surprised Ye Chang and Gao Shi even more.  The barbarian soldiers who came out of the door did not charge at once, but lined up on both sides, and then knelt on the ground. Immediately afterwards, a man wearing the king's uniform also came out, and then knelt on the ground, holding hands in front of him.  Picking up an object "Ge Luofeng actually did something that surprised us." Judging that the person wearing the king's costume was Ge Luofeng, Ye Chang turned his head and said to Gao Shi.  "We are desperate." Gao Shi frowned.  "I thought he was still lucky. Even if he wanted to come to this point, I couldn't take his life." Ye Chang stared at someone coming from the door with a strange look on his face.  Ge Luofeng knew clearly about his intention to kill Ge Luofeng. Ge Luofeng had asked to surrender several times before, but he had always refused, but now, Ge Luofeng still made this gesture.  Ye Chang could probably guess what Ge Luofeng was thinking. This guy was really cunning. No wonder he caused so much trouble to the Tang Dynasty in another life. It can even be said that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was related to the turmoil in Nanzhao.  close relationship.  Ye Chang raised his chin slightly, no matter what Ge Luofeng had in mind, Ye Chang is now a conqueror and is about to enter this new city.  "Luo Feng from the Royal Pavilion of Yunnan, please surrender." The visitor raised his voice and shouted, and the sound spread throughout the fields. After a short silence, the Tang army suddenly cheered and even sang and danced in all directions, showing great joy.  After four months of continuous fighting, although there were only a few truly major battles, the Tang army was already tired.  If not, Ye Chang would not have delayed returning to the army after the Battle of Iron Bridge City, and it was not until yesterday that his troops arrived at Taihe City.  The whole process was mainly focused on forcing Ge Luofeng's men to surrender by attacking their hearts, and there was no bloody battle.  "Is there any trap?" Someone whispered in Ye Chang's ear.  Ye Chang smiled, what traps could there be in this situation? And even if there were traps, would he be such a careless person?  Since the city was opened to surrender, brave men who dared to fight immediately came forward. Regardless of the situation, they seized the gates and towers and cleared the city.?All the barbarians were driven aside, and all weapons, especially bows and crossbows, were confiscated.  During this process, the barbarian army naturally felt humiliation, but the situation was stronger than the others. Even Ge Luofeng was kneeling on the ground, what else could they say?  After Gao Shi confirmed that there were no traps or ambushes, he came back and nodded to Ye Chang.  No one paid attention to Ge Luofeng who was kneeling on the ground, because everyone knew that only Ye Chang could bear the honor of surrender.  Ye Chang looked like he was smiling but not smiling, and then he drove his horse forward.  Ge Luofeng, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the sound of horse hooves and raised his face to look at Ye Chang.  There was no sense of humiliation or failure on Ge Luofeng's face. On the contrary, he felt vaguely excited.  He wanted to see disappointment on Ye Chang's face, because he knew very well that what Ye Chang wanted was not his surrender.  Ye Chang wanted to die, but he refused to die. Even if Ye Chang cut off all his escape routes, he still would not die.  He wanted to live, and live beautifully, live to show Ye Chang, and live to see Ye Chang's end.  "It's a decisive decision. You are indeed a person." When the horse arrived in front of Ge Luofeng, Ye Chang got off the horse, but did not take the jade seal representing Nanzhao's royal power from Ge Luofeng, but said softly.  Ge Luofeng raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm just afraid of the ambassador's power If the ambassador was willing, I could have surrendered earlier." "I said that the days of being rebellious and making a fuss about getting benefits are gone.  Never come back." Ye Chang said coldly.  "I have sent the king's brother, Gebei, to Chengdu to ask for the surrender of Duke Yang, the envoy of Jiannan Festival." Ge Luofeng also said in a low voice.  Ye Chang didn't expect that he had this trick, and his brows wrinkled again.  "I, the King of Nanzhao, Ge Luofeng, requested to surrender to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Since the ambassador has commissioned soldiers and horses for the Emperor, I also ask to accept the surrender" Ge Luofeng once again raised the thing in his hand that represented the royal power of Nanzhao, but Ye Chang still  Didn't answer.  Feeling the anger in Ye Chang's eyes, Ge Luofeng felt infinite joy in his heart. He was surprised to find that surrendering could make him so happy.  Because he didn¡¯t let Ye Chang have his way, he didn¡¯t let the Tang Dynasty who ruined his plan take full credit, so he was happy.  Ye Chang pondered for a moment, and Gao Shi came up to him. Without looking at Ge Luofeng, he leaned into Ye Chang's ear and whispered: "You can't escape death even if you send him to Chang'an." Ge Luofeng heard this,  The corner of Ge Luofeng's mouth twitched silently. As long as he didn't die on the spot, he was convinced that he would not die after arriving in Chang'an.  He had served as a bodyguard in Beijing and knew Li Longji very well. He was no stranger to the current Tang Dynasty court.  Flattery and bribery were enough for dozens or hundreds of people in the Tang court to intercede for him, and Li Longji would also be interested in having a barbarian king who surrendered to him, and raised him as a clown.  "He can't die. He went through Yang Zhao's route, that is, he went through the imperial concubine's side. As long as he gets to the capital, he won't die" "It doesn't matter, the distance from here to the capital is still far, and there will be violent diseases on the road.  Yes." Gao Shi whispered again.  Ye Chang smiled and shook his head: "Brother Gao, I know Yang Zhao's temper very well. He is not someone who will abide by his agreements. When I was in Beijing and Chengdu, I made an agreement with him, saying that the military affairs would be mine, but he just sat in Chengdu.  But. But this great achievement of capturing the famous king has gone to his hands. How could he let it go? His messenger must be arriving soon, and there must be a letter asking me to hand over Ge Luofeng to him. " Ge Luofeng again.  Smiling silently, he looked up at Ye Chang and met Ye Chang's eyes. Although there was nothing strange on his face, there was pride and hatred deeply hidden in his eyes.  Gao Shi thought about it carefully and must admit that Ye Chang was right.  Yang Zhao will definitely come to snatch Ge Luofeng. Although he has agreed not to care about frontline military affairs, Ge Luofeng sent people all the way to surrender to him. This is not frontline military affairs.  For the sake of merit, he can completely argue that this is not military service, but education, and he can reach out and take charge of it.  "It doesn't matter if you give this guy an advantage. After he arrives in Chang'an, he will have to suffer some punishment even if he leaves his life." Gao Shi felt a little unhappy when he thought of this and glared at Ge Luofeng.  Ge Luofeng, however, seemed unaware and still looked extremely calm.  Ye Chang was about to speak when he saw a voice coming from behind: "Ambassador Ye, Ambassador Ye." Ye Chang turned around and saw several cavalry galloping towards him. However, halfway through, he was stopped by more than ten cavalrymen from the Tang Army.  The man on the horse was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and screamed.  Ye Chang looked over and recognized him. It was Cui Yuan, the Sima next to Yang Zhao, who was regarded as Yang Zhao's confidant.  In addition to Cui Yuan, there were several people. One of them was swaying on his horse and seemed to be unable to sit still. It was Gepi.  "As expected, I'm here, and it's a coincidence." Ye Chang said.  Gao Shi didn¡¯t know Gepi, but he knew Cui Yuan, so he naturally understood that this should be someone sent by Yang Zhao.  At this time, Yang Zhao sent people here for what purpose, you don't need to think carefully to know.  High fitnessI was so angry that I almost felt that my chest was going to explode.  " There is no strategy available for the plain and barbaric people. They are fighting for merit and honors for fear of falling behind others. How could such a person climb to a high position if he did not rely on nepotism? " Ye Chang narrowed his eyes and said nothing.  If he didn't give the order, they wouldn't dare to release Cui Yuan and Ge Bei.  Ge Luofeng stared at Ye Chang's expression and saw Ge Bei and a Tang official coming over. He was a little worried at first, but now he is completely relieved.  What a coincidence. He and Ye Chang were thinking exactly the same, but Ye Chang was feeling depressed while he was ecstatic.  Ye Chang should be as miserable as if he had eaten a fly at this time. This guy is really powerful in military affairs, but what can he do in the face of such a pig teammate?  Ye Chang squinted his eyes and said to Gao Shi, "That monk is Ge Luofeng's brother Ge Bei. Let him come over." "Where is Cui Yuan?" Gao Shi asked in surprise.  "Let him wait first." Gao Shi didn't know what Ye Chang wanted to do, but he felt that Ye Chang seemed to be doing something great. He hesitated for a moment, thinking of Ye Chang's previous actions, he smiled hoarsely: "Okay, I  Let¡¯s see how crazy you are.¡± He turned around and came to Cui Yuan, cupping his hands and saying, ¡°It¡¯s Cui Sima.¡± Ye Chang said that Cui Yuan should wait, but he felt that he was holding Ye Chang back.  Cui Yuan is better.  Cui Yuan was ordered to come. He knew that this mission was not easy to complete, so he did not dare to hold it in front of Gao Shi. He saluted respectfully and then said: "Mr. Gao, Minister Yang sent me here because he has something to report to Ambassador Ye.  Please tell me, Mr. Gao. "No hurry, no hurry. Who is this monk?" Gao Shi pointed at the monk pavilion.  "This is Ge Luofeng's younger brotherhe" Cui Yuan was about to explain the purpose of Gebei's visit when Gao Shi interrupted again: "So he is Gebei. Ambassador Ye was talking to Geluofeng about him. Gebei, you go there first.  , Ambassador Ye has something to ask you. " In front of Cui Yuan, Gebei did not doubt that he was there and urged his horse forward, but was immediately stopped. He could only walk to Ye Chang's side. When he saw his brother kneeling, he also knelt down.  Come down.  "Gepei, you were ordered to go to Chengdu, how was your trip?" Ye Chang asked warmly.  "Fortunate to meet Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang has already allowed me to surrender to Nanzhao." Ge Bei stared at Ye Chang and said, "I am disappointed with the ambassador." "Haha, there is no disappointment. I had no intention of staying in Yunnan for a long time.  "Dai, I originally wanted to wait until the situation stabilized before leaving, but now it seems that I have no choice but to move forward." Ye Chang's words finally made Ge Bei feel that something was wrong. He looked at Ye Chang and asked doubtfully: "What does the ambassador mean by this?"  ? " "Do you remember what I said when you came to see me last time, Ge Luofeng, you are the culprits of this rebellion. Because of your rebellion, tens of thousands of Han family members died in Yunnan.  If the two of you are not punished, the souls of the deceased will not be put to rest." Ye Chang said slowly: "You are cunning. One of you went to Chengdu, and the other tied himself up, hoping to escape the punishment of being cut into pieces."  Ge Luofeng and Ge Pei looked at each other, and they could hear anger in Ye Chang's words.  But what can Ye Chang do if he is angry? Now that both of them have surrendered, Yang Zhao has also accepted their surrender. As a border general, how can Ye Chang do it in front of Yang Zhao's envoy, in front of tens of thousands of people from both sides?  What can we do to them in front of the soldiers?  As long as Cui Yuan comes up to talk, they will be handed over and Cui Yuan will take care of them. At that time, they will have no worries.  Ge Bei wanted to say something more, but Ye Chang pulled out his sword and put it on his neck.  Ge Bei was a little brave. He knelt there without squinting and said, "Why did the ambassador come at all?"
