15. Annan Tianwei Trail

At the same time, secret discussions were also underway in a hidden and secluded residence courtyard somewhere in the capital.

One side was Li Feng, a residence in Jinzhaoyuan in Huainan, and the other side was Zhu Sui, who passed the imperial examination a year earlier than Gao Yue, and Yuan Tongzhi, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Sui was the son of Zhu Tao, the former governor of Lulong, Youzhou, and Yuan Tongzhi was Zhu Tao's son-in-law.

Originally, they should have enjoyed countless glory and wealth, but unfortunately, after Zhu Tao's death, the position of governor fell into the hands of Zhu Tao's cousin Liu Sang (Wang's mother, aunt Zhu Tao). Liu Sang died in just three months of rule over Lulong Town, and his position was open and allowed his son Liu Ji to be hereditary.

When Zhu Sui became a Jinshi in the 12th year of Dali, Li Feng and Yuan Tongzhi wrote poems and essays for him. But now the Zhu family has completely declined. Zhu Li was loyal to the country and used his tablet to attack the thieves, and became heroic and kind. Zhu Tao once turned against the court, and his power was taken away by his relatives after his death. Zhu Sui could only take his son Zhu Kerong, wandering around in various towns for a long time, placing himself under someone else's roof, and eating the salary of the guest. Now he stayed in the capital, and no one helped him. The father and son were in trouble with his clothes and looked hungry.

Although Li Feng was slowly squeezed into the ranks of the sixth rank under Gao Yue's invocation, he would not have been treated as a saint's silverfish. He was still wearing a blue shirt and his wrist was incomplete.

Only Yuan Tongzhi, although he was trapped in Xifan, became a Buddhist temple traveler, and at least became a doctor in the Taizhou province. He was the best among the three, and Gao Yue was also his life-saving benefactor.

The old friends reunite, and there is an indescribable sigh.

Finally, everyone came to a conclusion that this term was too miserable in the 12th year of Dali, and the next term was still a junior: Gao Yue had already been the governor of the army, and later became the minister of the Secretariat Pingzhangshi, and was the best among them; Zheng Zhi had also been under the throne of Baima Xuan and became the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall; others such as Liu Deshi, almost all broke through the fifth rank and began to move towards the class of ministers.

After sighing, the main business began. Yuan Tongzhi and Li Feng told Zhu Sui closely that Duke Wei was thinking about his old love and hoped to send your Zhu family back to Lu Long to take charge of the flag.

"Is this possible?" Although Zhu Sui was surprised, he was still a little skeptical.

Yuan Tongzhi said that this is indeed a difficult thing to do. The key is that everyone works together. As long as their minds and strength are used, there is nothing that cannot be done. The main reason is that Duke Wei always remembered that when he was in the northwest, he had received many support and care from Taiwei Zhu, and had an unforgettable kindness.

Then Li Feng said to Zhu Sui that the Huainan Wuyi Army immediately entered the Zuoyuan and sent you five hundred stagnant of money to your house. Then he touched Zhu Kerong's head and said with distress that he would lose his child.

These words made Zhu Sui burst into tears and said that he heard the people in Huainan say that Gao Yue was a Bodhisattva, and today I believed it, and then asked what I could do to repay Duke Wei.

"Duke Wei said that as long as you can protect yourself, you can have Kerong, and you will be waiting for the news." Yuan Tongzhi explained so.

Obviously, Gao Yue was secretly setting up the bureau of Heshuo Town.

However, the court was very worried about the new Annan Protector and the newly-departed Jinshi.

In Yanying's palace, the emperor was furious.

Lingnan sent a good news, saying that the commander of Annan and the envoy of the army and the Pingbo army Zhang Zhou, after training the fleet and the Tumen to become familiar with each other under the instruction and reinforcement of Du You, he led his troops south in two routes, advanced from land, and walked along the old path of Fubo General Ma Yuan, advanced from the sea route of Lingzhong dug by Ma Yuan, and defeated the rebellious Dongman Du Yinghan and Du Yingcheng brothers in Yuanzhou, and beheaded him - the reinforcements of the Ring Kingdom against the Du brothers were also defeated by Zhang Zhou. Joe Lubu described that the vanguard of the Ring Kingdom was dozens of battle elephants.

The rushing formation was unstoppable, but who would have thought that Zhang Zhou had prepared for a long time. He dug out many deep pits in advance, covered them with straw bales, and then raised wooden fences, allowing muskets and light cannons to fire after them, causing the front army to be defeated and led the King of the Rings to attack. As a result, the war elephants of the Rings Kingdom were either tripped by the pit or frightened by the fierce firearms, causing their own team to be in chaos. Zhang Zhou's infantry in the earth group took the opportunity to cover them from both wings, killed tens of thousands of soldiers of the Rings Kingdom in one battle, seized and piled up like mountains of soldiers, killed thirty-six "princes" against the opponent, and thirteen war elephants.

In this way, Zhang Zhou recovered Yuan, Huan, Tang Lin and other states, and burned two temples.

A temple was Mei Xuancheng (a Mei Shuluan), who raised an army to resist the Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan period. After his defeat and death, local natives built a temple for him, called the Hei Di Temple;

There is another place where the "Bugai Dawang Temple" was established by the natives of Linzhou of the Tang Dynasty for the previous Feng Xing and Feng Hai brothers.

Now the two temples are all destroyed by the victorious conquerors, and the tiles are gone.

In the later eras, the indigenous peoples of Annan established the "Gaowang Temple" and "Duwang Temple" everywhere to commemorate the great achievements of Gao Yue and Du You in the development of the local area...

After the crushing defeat, the Ring Kingdom could only offer surrender, and the Zhenla Kingdom next to him also surrendered to Tang again in time.

On the other side, after receiving Gao Yue's condemnation, Yi Mouxun of Nanzhao was frightened and sent an envoy to Shu Capital to apologize to Wei Gao. Wei Gao said that this matter should have nothing to do with Nanzhao. It was probably because the barbarian chiefs of your eastern border were pretending to be the power of the tiger. I will lead the army to attack him. You are a servant. Yi Mouxun, who understands it, randomly found reasons, killed five cave barbarian chiefs of the eastern border, and sent their heads to Wei Gao, saying that Wei ordered the expedition to go on a verge of expedition. The children who were causing trouble had been suppressed by me.

Du You then immediately offered victory to the court, saying that the entire Annan territory would be restored, and asked the court to quickly send the new Annan Protectorate and the governors of the Annan Prefectures.

But the problem is huge.

All the civil and military officials in the court, even if they were chosen at home, no one was willing to go to Annan.

The emperor was furious and asked the prime ministers that Annan Protector was one of the five governors of Lingnan Jiedu, and he could just find a doctor. Whether I am a doctor in Taiwan Province or a local prosecutor, you have to find it out.

Lu Zhi replied: "There are many doctors, but there are no one who wants to go to Annan."

"Why?"

"Everyone says that Annan has three fears, one is afraid of local miasma, two is afraid of local beasts, and three is afraid of the power of heaven."

"What is Tianwei Trail?"

"There is a section of the sea route between Jiaozhou and Qinzhou, which is known as the White Dragon Tail. Thunders falls continuously all year round, huge waves surging, and most of the ships coming and going are harmed by them, so it is called the 'Tianwei Trail'."

"Why didn't Gao Yue meet Tianwei when he went to Annan?"

Lu Zhi paused and replied: "It is said that... when other fleets pass the Tianwei Path, they fall lightning and strike the ship, but when Gao Wei Duke passes the Tianwei Path, they fall lightning and strike the reefs, and all the reefs are broken. Gao Wei Duke's warships are all safe and sound, and they go straight to Annan."

Hearing this, the emperor felt sad, and then he said to Lu Zhi hatefully: "What do they want me to do in Fengshan? This Gao Yue can rule the sky, right?"

The prime ministers were frightened and shouted in unison that Duke Gao Wei was able to do so by relying on His Majesty's power.

"What should the officials sent by Annan now?" The emperor returned to the original topic and was extremely angry.

Han Hui suggested that the path of heaven could be dug through the power of the sky, and then a new city could be built in Jiaozhi, Annan. If this would be the case, the environment would be improved and officials would be willing to take office.
