Following Ye Chang's pointing, Wei Niang looked at the green plants and smiled slightly.

"Sugarcane?" She looked at Ye Chang, a little charming.

"That's right, I want to run a sugar-making workshop here, and I need a lot of sugar cane." Ye Chang also smiled, revealing her white teeth, looking very sincere: "I have a suggestion."

"explain."

"This time, the other five Zhaos, the people captured by Nanzhao, can be ordered to plant sugarcane. I buy it at a high price, or exchange it for salt, iron, grain, silk, cotton, glass, etc."

When Ye Chang heard something that Nanzhao urgently needed, Wei Niang's eyes began to shiny. When she heard the last "glass", Wei Niang's expression moved, she took out a small round glass mirror from her arms and showed it in front of Ye Chang: "This?"

At this time, the news was blocked. Although the glass mirror also reached Yunnan, Wei Niang didn't know that this thing was actually made by Ye Chang. Ye Chang saw the small round mirror, laughed out loud, and then took out a square mirror slightly larger than a slap from her pocket and handed it to Wei Niang.

"Send it to you."

Wei Niang was surprised, looked in the mirror, and then at Ye Chang, obviously knowing the preciousness of this thing. Li Bai saw this scene in the distance and thought to himself: Sure enough, it was indeed different. Brother Ye really had an affair with this barbarian woman.

When he got the mirror, Wei Niang put it away, and then smiled sweetly: "Since it is a gift I gave me, it is not related to what I am discussing today."

"That's natural." Ye Chang said: "Since Nanzhao rebelled, it is the best time for you to restore your tribe. If our army advances, no matter whether you win or lose, there will be no opportunity."

"How can this statement be explained?"

"If I win, the entire Six Divine will be changed to the territory and return to the current. Only the directly subordinate counties of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no Six Divine tribes. If I lose, the Nanzhao country will be greatly boosted. The other five Divines can only be servants, and there will be no Six Divines." Ye Chang said slowly: "You are smart in the past, so you will know the benefits and interests."

"Haha, it seems that we have sought out for the Tang Dynasty."

"Of course, you have something to ask for the Tang Dynasty. If I, the Tang Dynasty, would I ignore the affairs of Yaozhou. Can Yaozhou still shake my Tang Dynasty's foundation? But if you want to restore the tribe, you must use the power of the Tang Dynasty."

"this"

Wei Niang came this time, and she thought she could bargain with the Tang Dynasty, at least forcing Ye Chang to agree to some requests. However, after Ye Chang's words, she turned aside and put them in a position of asking for help. Thinking of Ye Chang's previous methods, Wei Niang finally realized that it was not easy for her to take advantage of this guy.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"I've already said, sugar." Ye Chang replied.

Ye Chang had long used new sugar-making methods, but because of the lack of raw materials, the sugar production produced was limited and not enough to truly support an industry. Therefore, before coming to Jiannan, Ye Chang planned that in the future, Yunnan will become the base for the sugar-making industry in the economic map of the Tang Dynasty.

Growing sugarcane will require a lot of labor, and this labor force can undoubtedly be plundered from Quanrong.

"What do you want us to do?" Wei Niang asked again.

Li Bai watched Ye Chang and Wei Niang talk on the gentle slope for a long time. Sometimes Ye Chang was talking, dancing with his hands and feet, and sometimes Wei Niang was talking, dancing with her eyebrows. The more he looked, the more he felt that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

It took half an hour for the two of them to finish their conversation and come back together. The barbarian girl did not delay and took her subordinates away after giving her salute.

Watching Wei Niang and her party disappear, Ye Changxin let go half of it. This time he came to Nengzhou, seeing Wang Zhongsi asking for advice was only one of the purposes, and the most important purpose was to meet Wei Niang. If you can get Wei Niang's help, you can secretly contact the former subordinates of Wuzhao. With them as the "leaders", the matter of this southern expedition will be much easier.

When he turned around, he saw Li Bai's face with a strange smile. Ye Chang was stunned: "Brother Taibai, what do you mean?"

"My brother, don't worry, I will never tell you about this matter."

"What's the matter?"

"Your brother, you are still pretending, why are you pretending? It's true that he is the son-in-law who the emperor and Li Xiang are fighting for. Even this barbarian girl in the south, you have hooked up with one... It's strange. How could you hook up with the barbarian girl of Liuzhao? It's said that barbarian girls are passionate and look as beautiful as they were just now, are there any?"

"Get out" Ye Chang finally understood what Li Bai was saying: "I'm doing serious things."

"Yes, yes, serious things." Li Bai laughed, but his eyes were as ambiguous as before.

There was no way to communicate with this poetic immortal who could be drunk without drinking. Ye Chang was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered the camp to leave. They took another three days to arrive at the barracks in Rongzhou.

Gao Shi was waiting for him here.

Everyone got together and felt intimate. Even Ye Chang and Gao Shi were separated for many years. They didn't stay in Rongzhou for long. Ye Chang stayed Gao Shi here to allocate food and grass, and led 30,000 troops to the south from Shimen Pass Road.

Although Shimen Pass south belongs to Rongzhou of the Great Tang Dynasty, it is actually mostly a guimizhou. When you pass Niutou Mountain and reach Ma'andu, Ye Chang received a report: The envoy of Luo Feng, the king of Yunnan, came here.

"Empress?" Ye Chang smiled when he heard this: "Ge Luofeng is very informed."

After only three days of his army, the other party's envoy came to greet him. If Ge Luofeng did not do it carefully in Rongzhou, no one would believe it.

"Let him come to see me." Ye Chang said.

After a while, the messenger was taken to Ye Chang. The man had a twitch with his face and his eyes kept turning, and he seemed very cunning.

Judging from his appearance, Ye Chang knew that he would not be polite when he came here this time.

"Yang Zifen, the general under the command of the King of Yunnan, pays homage to Ambassador Ye." He was led to Ye Chang, and seeing Ye Chang so young, he felt a little arrogant and polite. He bowed his hand randomly and even said "to pay homage".

He was still muttering in his heart, wasn't it said that the Tang Dynasty was full of talents? Why did Xianyu Zhongtong suffer a defeat? The Tang Dynasty actually sent such a young man to clean up the mess? Is it because there was no one in Nanzhao, or is the Tang Dynasty no longer able to produce decent people?

"Du" Seeing him like this, Shanzhi next to him roared angrily. Yang Zifen trembled in shock, his knees fell down, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

Ye Chang disagreed: "What are you sending to you?"

"My king sent me here because I had a love to report to the ambassador. The former two countries launched wars, but it was a matter of no choice. Zhang Qiantuo bullied my king too much, and Xianyu Zhongtong could not..."

"You and I have a clear understanding of right and wrong." Ye Chang interrupted him.

On the surface, Nanzhao's rebellion was due to Zhang Qiantuo's excessive bullying, but in fact the problem was not here, but Ge Luofeng's personal ambition. Previously, Li Longji formulated a strategy to support Nanzhao to unify the other five Zhaos, and wanted to use this to restrain the Quanrong. However, after Nanzhao's power increased, how could he still be willing to act as a lackey of the Tang Dynasty fighting Quange Luofeng stayed in Chang'an for a few years? He even felt that instead of being a dog and horse in the Tang Dynasty, how could he be a real king of Yunnan?

He had this intention, so he had some actions, such as fleeing back to Nanzhao from Chang'an, and refusing to obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty after he ascended the throne. These actions naturally aroused the vigilance of Xianyu Zhongtong and Zhang Qiantuo. At this time, Li Longji probably realized that the Nanzhao was in trouble, so he no longer supported Nanzhao like he did in the past. Ge Luofeng took the opportunity to attack Yaozhou and force Zhang Qiantuo to death. In order to deceive the people under his rule, he also brought up a lot of charges for how the Tang Dynasty bullied Nanzhao.

Ye Chang was not interested in these things, so he directly interrupted the other party.

"How can you do it without knowing right and wrong, and not judging the right and wrong?" Yang Zifen knelt on the ground, looking scared, but in fact he still argued: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, a country of benevolence and righteousness, and a country of etiquette. If there is no right and wrong, how can be benevolence and righteousness exist? Isn't it as good as my place to transform into a place?"

"A place outside the world? During the Han Dynasty, Yunnan was a place where my sages educated and bathed." Ye Chang stared at this guy, and saw that he was still dissatisfied, and smiled and said, "Okay, I will tell the truth. When I was poor in the Tang Dynasty, I was benevolence and righteous, and since ancient times, I was under the rule of the Han emperor. I have been an inseparable part of my China since ancient times. What is benevolence and righteousness? Following the education of my Han family is benevolence and righteousness. What is etiquette and obeying the imperial power of my Han family is etiquette."

Li Bai, a great Han chauvinist next to "good", suddenly felt great and excited when he heard this: "If you are poor, you will be kind and righteous, and you will be well-official, and since ancient times, you will be wonderful, wonderful."

"Following the education of our Han family is benevolence and righteousness, and obeying the imperial power of our Han family is etiquette - a true and passionate word. Those who violate the strong Han Dynasty with Chen Tangming will be punished even if they are far away, and they can be simple and powerful." Cai Ming, who had already met with Ye Chang, nodded and said.

Ye Chang looked at the two of them speechlessly, but saw that the soldiers around him were excited and were moved by those words. He gently pinched his hand, and it seemed that he had said another amazing thing.

Yang Zifen could only swallow the reason he was full of words, because he found that the young Tang Dynasty soldiers and horse envoys in front of him seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty such as Xian Yu Zhongtong who had seen before.

"Since that's the case... My King of Yunnan sent me to apologize to the ambassador and was willing to withdraw from Yaozhou City, rebuild the city walls, and return the captives." Yang Zifen said again.

"That's all, is there any?" Ye Chang asked.

"This...that's all."

"Ge Luofeng knows that he is guilty? Didn't you just say that you have benevolence and righteousness? You must reward merits, and you must punish me for your crimes. Rewarding good punishment is the first of benevolence and righteousness." Ye Chang said: "Since Ge Luofeng knows that he is guilty, why didn't he tie himself up before you and wait for the emperor to punish him according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but he sent you a lobbyist here?"

Yang Zifen opened his mouth and looked at Ye Chang. He really didn't know whether this Tang Dynasty military envoy was really confused or not. He was just a false statement from a big man. How could he take it true? Do you really want the King of Yunnan to tie himself up and apologize?

Judging from Ye Chang's words just now, he was definitely not confused, he was just arrogant. It seems that he wanted to give this young Han man some excellence.

"I have always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Now the border of Quanrong is facing the border. If the Tang Dynasty does this kind of love and revenge at this time, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty in Yunnan, Africa will have all the Tang Dynasty." Yang Zifen said: "At that time, Yunnan will have to join hands with Quanrong, and from now on the border of the Tang Dynasty will be in trouble."

"Impossible." Ye Changman said carelessly: "If Ge Luofeng had sent you here just to say these nonsense, you can go back and tell him now. He would not have the chance to defeat my border with Quanrong, because after I came, there would be no more Yunnan kings in Yunnan."

After saying that, Ye Chang waved his hand, and a warrior dragged Yang Zifen away, who was still thinking about his words.

"Why is the ambassador not guilty of slandering?" Cai Ming said on the side: "If Nanzhao and Quanrong really join hands, this Nanzhao will be futile."

"Nanzhao has joined hands with Quanrong. As far as I know, the Censor of Quanrong, Ruzan has gathered troops to Langqiong to watch the success or failure." Ye Chang laughed and said, "How could Nanzhao Langzi's ambition be retreating because of temporary comfort? The more they are, the more arrogant they will be. Only by hitting the head-on can they understand the general trend."

Cai Ming was shocked: "The reinforcements from Quanrong have arrived at Langqiong? Is this news true?"

“Naturally real.”

The news was brought by Wei Niang. When Ye Changren was preparing for the wedding in Chang'an, he secretly sent messengers to enter Jiannan, found the contact person Wei Niang had made an appointment, and then made an appointment for the meeting time and place, and asked Wei Niang to detect the movements of Nanzhao and Quanrong. In fact, when the last time of the Xianyu Zhongtong expedition, Ge Luofeng had already sent envoys to ask for help from Quanrong and expressed his intention to surrender.

"If this is the case, you must be careful in this battle. The ambassador, please wait for assistance by garrison," Cai Ming said worriedly.

"Of course, they have to garrison troops to wait for assistance, but they will fight with Nanzhao first. If they don't fight, they won't take us to heart."

As Ye Chang expected, Nanzhao did not care about the Tang army he led.

After Yang Zifen was driven away, he traveled day and night to return to Taihe City. At this time, Nanzhao generals gathered in Taihe City.

"General Yang Jun is back. Tell me, what is the real and true Tang Jun this time? What kind of person is General Tang?" When Yang Zifen came back, Ge Luofeng asked on his double dragon head throne.

He spent a few years in Chang'an, imitating the Tang Dynasty rituals, establishing palaces, and appointing officials, and making a rough appearance. However, many customs of the barbarians were still preserved. For example, in his hall, in addition to himself, his wife Bai and his younger brother were also monks, Gepi.

"I have reported to the King that the Tang army has only 30,000 troops, which is not as good as the former army of Xian Yu Zhongtong. As for the rest of the generals, Ye Chang, the commander of the army, was very young and looked only over twenty years old. He was arrogant and not difficult to defeat him."

Ge Luofeng laughed silently when she heard this: "Military General, you said it wrong. This Ye Chang is not that simple.

"The king knows him?"

"Of course I know that when I was in Chang'an, I heard his name a lot. Even if I returned to Yunnan, I could hear news about him occasionally. This person is the number one financial management expert in the Tang Dynasty, and he has a lot of insights in the affairs of the border." Ge Luofeng said: "If he acts extremely arrogant in front of you, he must have wanted to use some conspiracy and tricks, deliberately so as to lure me into a trap."

Gebi next to "Brother Wang Mingjian" nodded.
