Chapter 350 The flames of Cangshan Mountain in Erhai Lake are high
Almost half a day later, Ge Luofeng got the news. He was shocked: "If the Tang army built warships a hundred miles north and south of Erhai Lake, they could attack at any place. My Dragon Shou, Longwei Second Pass, and the natural chasm of Cangshan and Erhai Lake will be useless... Ye Chang's shipyard must be destroyed."
"Today's plan is to invite elite troops from Tufan to attack the boat yard around the lake. They have been stationed in Longshou Pass for many days. They have been drinking and meat every day, so it's time to move," his brother Sengge Pond.
"Jiang Ruzhi has been persuaded three times, but there is still no movement from the Tufan people. These guys are obviously malicious and just want to enter the Dragon Head Pass." Ge Luofeng was helpless: "Brother, it seems that you are the only one to go there.
Compared to Jiang Ruzhi, Ge Luofeng certainly believes in his brother Gepi more. Moreover, Jiang Ruzhi has insufficient status and has not many things to agree to, which is far inferior to Gepi.
Hearing this, Gebi did not delay it. He quickly rushed to Longshou Pass and accompanied Jiang Ruzhi, he came to see the general Lu Ruozan of Quanrong.
Unlike Lun Qiliyu, Lun Ruozan was named the Censor of Quanrong Zanpu, and was one of the most precious chiefs of Quanrong. But what is exactly the same as Lun Qiliyu was that he had a covetous desire for the wealthy Erhai Lake. Therefore, after he arrived, he inherited Lun Qiliyu's perfunctory strategy and was unwilling to go south immediately. At this time, when he heard that the brother of Nanzhao came to ask, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Nanzhao is now in poverty, and I want to enter the Dragon Head Pass for the next two days."
To his surprise, Gepi did not bow down after seeing him, but sighed repeatedly.
When he saw Gebei, Lu Ruozan felt something was wrong. This man had no intimate head and had golden rings on his ears. He held a tin staff in one hand, and nine rings on the staff. The sound was jingling, and the other hand held a string of hanging beads. Looking closely, the hanging beads were actually made of eighteen human skulls.
At this time, Tufan was still the world of Bon religion, but since Chide Zuzan ascended the throne, Buddhism became increasingly active. In particular, Chide Zuzan won a bronze medal in Qinpu. It is said that Songzan Yubu's last order was said to be "Chi" after the Five Dynasties. When "De" was Zan Pu, Buddhism should have a great rise. So Chide Zuzan became interested in Buddhism and sent people to India to seek Buddhist scriptures.
Those monks who entered the territory of Quanrong and tried to preach, often made up many rumors of the great monks' powers in order to deceive the noble people. If you praising them, you will be influenced by them. Seeing that Gebi was extraordinary in appearance and extremely unusual in conversation, you wonder if this monk was a magical monk.
Thinking of this, he spoke first and tried: "Why didn't Brother Wang say a word at this point, just sighing?"
Gebi raised his head, but only one eye was but the other eye could only see the white of his eyes. Lu Ruozan was shocked again.
"The Buddha gave me wisdom to see the past and the future. I saw the censors wandering and never return to the snowy plateau for life. I saw the lively and peaceful place here, and will eventually be replaced by blood and screams. The iron armor of the Tang people shines here, while the swords of Tufan and the barbarians will rust here. I saw children lose their father, wives lose their husbands, and their aging and white-haired parents will never see their sons again... The demons among the Tang people are already here, but the censors, you have seen nothing."
He said it was very terrifying. Lun Ruozan was shocked and looked back suspiciously. It was sunset and the sunset shone on Er Shao, dyeing the world red. This was an ordinary scene, but Lun Ruozan was already suspicious just now, and he was even more shocked at this moment.
"It's not that. I'm going to be with an army of 50,000. I heard that you barbarians also have an army of 100,000. The Tang people only have 30,000, less than half of us. How could he be our opponent?"
After hearing what Lun Ruozan said, Gebi understood that his task had been completed halfway.
"If the Tang people do not retreat, the censors will not retreat. But now the Tang people occupy most of Yunnan. The ungrateful Baiman people have helped the Tang people. They not only provide food, but also provide labor to build roads for the Tang people. It is said that they are also building a road called Zhezhi. The Tang people have enough supplies, but now we are almost unable to support the supply of national grain, grass, wine and meat. By then, both of us are too hungry to move, so wouldn't we have to be slaughtered?"
After hearing this, Lun Ruozan hesitated for a moment, and he knew that the monk was talking about the truth.
Nanzhao was originally weak in the country's primary school. If it weren't for Xian Yu Zhongtong's defeat, he would have been unable to hold on. He originally thought that the Tang army would have been unable to provide supplies, but he never thought that Ye Chang had only brought 30,000 people to come, and could even replenish supplies on the spot, just about the food and grass.
"So what? That's your business. As long as you don't want to destroy the country, we don't think about any less food, grass, wine and meat."
"Now the Tang people are building ships in the southeast of Erhai Lake. If they use water war against Shangguo in Erhai Lake, although the soldiers of Shangguo are brave, how many people will fight with water?" Gebei knew that the other party was a little interested, and now he was just bargaining. At that time, he added fire: "When the Tang people built a good ship, our pass would be useless, and the water war between Shangguo could not help. At that time, in order to save our lives, we had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of this, Sengbi said very heavily: "If you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably drive us to become enemies with the superior country. At that time, we will be afraid of meeting each other with wars. Please forgive our small country for its unscrupulousness."
"Hmph, are you threatening me?"
"It's not that I threaten the censor, but that I just tell the censor what I saw. If the censor can save me, we will defeat the Tang army and pursue the victory and directly attack Shu. From Wuyou City to Chengdu, all the wealthy population in Shu are from the upper country and from the censor. On one side is the honor of profit and the desolation of defeat. Which side is chosen is all within the thought of the censor."
After the monk Gebei finished speaking, he stopped talking to Lu Ruozan, but muttered to chant the mantra while turning the skeleton beads. His mantra made Lu Ruozan feel dizzy and extremely upset. After a while, he coughed, "Since that's the case, what do you think I should do?"
"Please join the national gods and join forces with me to attack the Tang army's yard. If we can burn their ships and plunder their craftsmen, we will have nothing to worry about."
Hearing that this was the request, Lun Ruozan knew that Nanzhao had been forced to the point of nowhere, so he immediately put forward some minor conditions and agreed to send troops to attack the Tang people the next day. After sending away Gebei, Lun Qili Yu asked: "Censor, do we really send troops?"
"Of course, we should not worry. Didn't the ronin find a princess and let them go to war." Lun Ruozan smiled grimly: "If they want to surrender to our country, they always need to do something.
"What the Censor said is," Lun Qili Yu praised.
During these days they were resting on the banks of Erhai Lake, but the ronin was driven to recruit old subordinates and contacted the so-called Princess of Yuexizhao. When Ashima heard that Tufan wanted to destroy Nanzhao, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with Tufan. Now, if he was summoned to Liu Nuo, he would ask him to contact Yuexizhao.
In less than a day, Yuexizhao had an envoy returned, but he agreed to attack the Tang people for the front drive. However, Yuexizhao also put forward conditions. They were very close to the Tang people. If they attacked the Tang people, they would inevitably lead to revenge on the Tang people in the future. Therefore, I would like to ask the Lunjiuzhan to allow them to move to Jianchuan. In order to show their loyalty, they would first send some of the old and weak tribe to Jianchuan, just to make it easier for them to do so.
This is equivalent to offering hostages to show loyalty. If you approve, there is no reason to refuse. At this moment, some Yuexi people left and then urged them to send troops to attack the Tang army.
In the southeast of Erhai Lake, under the jurisdiction of Hedong Prefecture, there is a tidal flat. Now there are thousands of Han, barbarian soldiers and civilians are busy carrying wood here.
On the shore, a wooden rut track road extends towards Hedongzhou City, which is also the source of the "rut track" mentioned by Gebi. In fact, although the journey from Yunnan City to Hedongzhou is easier to walk than the rest of Yunnan, it is still high mountains and ridges. With the technology at this time, it is impossible to truly build a track. Ye Chang built this to further put pressure on Nanzhao.
Because of the shipbuilding, a large amount of wood was piled up here. After learning about this, Lun Ruozan ordered Yuexi to mix in with the barbarian labor force, set fire at night, and burn the wood.
At midnight, I saw flames rising from the southeast and the fire soaring into the sky. Lu Ruozan was overjoyed: "It's done."
After a while, I saw someone from Yue Xizhao report: "Our army has set fire to the boat yard, and the fire spread to the Tang army camp. Now the Tang people are trying hard to put out the fire. Our army has few soldiers, please come quickly for the censor to help."
On Ruozan, looking at the fire from afar, he saw that half of the sky was red. He knew that the fire was very strong, and there was a hostage from Yuexizhao in Jianchuan, so he did not doubt that he was there and immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
Not only him, but also the Nanzhao generals at Longwei Pass also noticed the abnormality in the direction of Hedong Prefecture. They were close to each other and even heard the sound of shouting to put out the fire. They urgently reported to Ge Luofeng who had come to Longwei Pass. Ge Luofeng was very happy when he heard the news. He immediately ordered all his troops and general Hong Guangcheng and others to lead the troops.
He was still a little cautious and asked to take a boat to cross Erhai Lake to observe. After learning that it was indeed a fire in the Tang army's boatyard and the military camp, he immediately ordered the troops to advance together.
Just as the Nanzhao soldiers left Longwei Pass, the dog soldiers there had already arrived at the fire. Looking through hundreds of steps, there were shadows in the fire, and there were endless shouts of crying and howling. The Tang people were all trying to put out the fire, but they did not release the scout cavalry. When they reached this distance, the Tang people did not respond.
Perhaps because it is closer to the fire, Lun Ruozan smelled the smell of smoke and charcoal everywhere, and the fragrance of some tree oil.
Lun Ruozan looked at it for a moment, and his subordinates urged him, and he immediately ordered: "This god will help me, kill me."
The Quanrong people immediately cheered and rushed towards the Tang army in the fire. Lu Ruozan saw his army rushing over, and the Tang army, caught off guard, were driven into the sea of fire, and smiled on their faces, but the smile appeared. Suddenly, the drums around him were heard, which shocked the earth.
The smile on Lun Ruozan's face suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, countless rockets flew out of the sky from all directions. Although this place is far away from the yard, it is also full of various woods. The smell that Ruozan smelled was actually emitted from these flammable objects. After being shot by the rocket, fire suddenly rose everywhere, and a moment later, the fire in the yard also soared into the sky. The fire in the yard became a piece of land.
"I fell into the trap... There is a problem with Yuexihuang." At this time, Lu Ruozan could not understand it, and he could not climb to the position of Tufan Censor. He looked around in panic. Although hundreds of personal soldiers were protecting him, he still couldn't feel any safety.
"Return to the army, send orders to return to the army," Lun Qiliyu shouted.
"Yes, return to the army, return to the army." Lu Ruozan suddenly woke up. Since this time was a trap, getting out was the most important thing. As long as he could get out and return to the military camp, he could still find another opportunity to fight.
But since Ye Chang lured him out, he would not let them go easily before breaking out of the fire. He was facing a dense rainy arrow and a fireball thrown by a small stone thrower, which forced them back to fire again.
"This" Lun Ruozan's hair was already burning and his mouth was blistered. He shouted loudly, and finally gathered up his troops and used his personal soldiers as the supervisor to force the troops to rush forward, and with flying arrows and fireballs, he finally rushed out of the fire.
At this time, I looked around me, and there were only a few more than a hundred riders.
He burst into tears. The Tang army's plan this time was not awesome, but because of his arrogance, he rushed in and fled back to Tieqiao City, which made him lose face.
"Censor, go quickly, the Tang army will come to chase after him," his subordinates pulled him.
He cried and retreated, gathering defeated soldiers along the way, gradually there were thousands more people. Seeing that it had been five or six miles to go to the fire, it would take another five or six miles to escape from the danger. At this moment, he suddenly saw the flames rising from behind again, hundreds of cavalry Tang soldiers holding torches in their hands and shouted.
This Tang army was extremely brave. Although only 500 cavalrymen broke into the Quanrong army, they felt like they were in an unmanned state. As the leader, they were invincible. Several warriors in the Quanrong army intercepted and surrounded him, and were all killed by him. In a blink of an eye, he penetrated the Quanrong army formation, forcing the Quanrong to form a formation to fight against each other.
"Ye Chang, the military envoy of Jiannan of the Tang Dynasty, is here" someone shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed."
Hearing this cry, Lu Ruozan looked back and saw a general riding in the fire, with bright gray armor and light eyes looking at him from afar.
"This is Ye Chang." Lun Ruozan glanced at this man deeply, and wanted to keep his image in his heart, and then kicked the horse's belly hard. His horse screamed and neighed, galloped quickly, and ran away.
Ye Chang rushed for a while, and saw that Quanrong was completely out of courage and could no longer organize a counterattack, so he led the army back. On the way, he killed the defeated Quanrong soldiers who had gathered together. When he returned to his own barracks, he heard someone coming to report: "Nanzhao soldiers have left Longwei Pass."
Ye Chang was overjoyed: "Do you have the spare time to fight again?"
"Are you" the personal soldiers around you shouted.
Although they fought several games, everyone was very excited to win such a big victory and did not take the next battle to heart.
