5. Conquering Sandongman

Then the envoys of the Eastern Barbarians walked forward and asked Wei Gao, saying that the horse that was right with you was Gao Yue, the governor of Shannan West Road.

Wei Gao smiled and said that it was true.

The group of Dongman looked at Gao Yue with admiration and awe, and then bowed to him together, saying that Huating was victorious and Gao Lang's reputation had already been introduced to our Man tribe. The Dongman households in the prefectures and counties were painted with portraits of Wei Lang and Gao Lang on the door panels to seek protection. The people of Xifan deeply hated you, so they came to ask us why we painted the portraits of Wei Lang and Gao Lang. We lied to them that Wei Lang was the Yasha in the Buddhist scriptures, and Gao Lang was the Moluo in the Buddhist scriptures. We painted their portraits to scare other weak ghosts.

Gao Yue laughed, and then he didn't hesitate to ask the envoy of the Eastern Man: "Now that since the road to tribute is opened again, you can't rebel to the Xifan side, otherwise the Tang family's laws will be as iron as iron, and they will definitely not forgive."

"We are swearing that since Gao Lang and Wei Lang have come, they will have no different intentions."

"When you wait for the Eastern Man, what are the forces of each unit?" Gao Yue was most concerned about this.

The envoy of the Eastern Barbarians said that the soldiers and horses of the three major units of Qi were as strong as 20,000.

"In the past, you were the forefront of the Western Fan army and repeatedly invaded Ya and Qiong and threatened Shudu. Are you guilty?"

The envoy of the Eastern Barbarians hurriedly apologized, saying that he would never dare to be pacified by Wei Lang and Gao Lang, and then he would definitely be surrounded by the Tang family city and never rebel again. He also promised Wei Gao and Gao Yue that as soon as the Tang army crossed Qionglai Pass, we would send food, cattle and horses to ensure the supply of the army. If Xifan and Nanzhao dare to stop me, I will not Deng, Lianglin and Fengpa, all the strong men will be borne by the Tang army, and they will fight to the end with the Fan army!

"Okay, if this battle is won, I will ask the emperor to call the emperor to call a banquet in Linde Hall in Chang'an to invite you and the great ghost master." Gao Yue promised with a sigh.

When the envoys heard this, they were all so excited that they could not help themselves. For them who lived in the remote southwest, they could go to Chang'an City, the international metropolis at that time, and get cordial reception and reward from the emperor. Let's see what the magnificent Daming Palace looks like. This is a dream and honor that is rare!

In contrast, although Zamp of the Xifan repeatedly invited their great ghost masters to visit the city of Luoshe in the snowy land and strengthened the relationship between the lower vassals, the Eastern Barbarians were reluctant. There were snowy mountains and deep valleys, and there were yaks and oxen, so how could they compare to Chang'an City?

After negotiating with Gao Yue, these envoys from the Eastern Barbarians stepped onto Jiuzhezhang onto the Jiuzhezhang and rushed to guide the Tang army in a colorful tree coat.

The winding Jiuzheban pulled tens of thousands of Tang soldiers into long lines that were repeatedly surrounded and climbed to the top of the clouds. Gao Yue's servant Wei Tuotian opened his nostrils in pain and curled them into a ball. His body was covered in fur and pulled the reins of his master's mount. Gao Yue looked back and looked back - the path of the entire Yazhou, the forests and scattered inns were shrinking as if they were entering the bottom of a well. The horse's hooves slipped on the ice and snow roads that had accumulated over the years, arousing the surrounding soldiers, and the soldiers were also in the snow fog all over the mountains and valleys.

, carefully lowered his body, rolled the armor into a roll, inserted it into a long snail, and held it behind him, and followed closely behind the head-strike. As for rice, grain, bows and crossbows, it was hung on the backs of the pack horses and oxes. This time, the oxes were vigorously raised in Fengxiang, Xingyuan and Jingyuan areas played a huge role. This cow was hard-working and cold-resistant, and its hair was white in the wind and snow, and its eyelashes were frozen, but it still carried heavy objects docilely and stoically, and walked slowly and firmly on the wind and winding mountain roads without any slutiness or any complaints.

But the bull was not in a mood, and Ming Huaiyi, who was riding a horse to accompany Gao Yue, was in a mood, "Dad, you used to cheat me so hard. You said you were a sixth and seventh rank official, and you also named me a nineth rank official. Later I realized that the Tang family's official rank is the reason why the smaller the rank is, the larger the number - look at Wei Gao, who gave these chiefs of Deng and Lin, directly named the county prince and the county prince. I am still now..."

"That's right. Now I am your dad. You are my fake, right?"

“Yes, too.”

"The Tang family stipulates that there is no reason why a fake boy is higher than his father's official rank? At that time, I was just a censor. If you make a prince, would you still talk about human ethics?"

Ming Huaiyi was silent.

Gao Yue continued to ask him, do you want to be the prince or the fake one who is quite a father?

"Of course I want to be my father's fake. In the future, I will also be able to climb the portrait of Lin Pavilion. This is much better than being a certain prince in this valley." Ming Huaiyi is not stupid.

After nightfall, the entire army climbed up to the Yangmu Pavilion, which stood on the top of the mountain. This building had long been abandoned. Wei Gao, Gao Yue and the generals of the military palace, and the Liao Zuo sat in the pavilion, making a fire to warm up. The soldiers outside were all squatting in the snow and cooking hard.

"Yi Song, after the triumph, I will be a guest in Shudu City. I will lead you to see the big Buddha statue in Leshan." Wei Gao stretched out his hands, and the bright yellow flames were close at hand, making him feel warm and comfortable.

"I have to go back to Xingyuan first. The matter here is over, and the matter of Dangqiang is coming soon again." Gao Yue replied tremblingly, then took the uncooked mutton handed over by Wei Tuotian.

"This time, most of the success of being able to win over the Dongman is successful, especially Wu Dengman has always been a relative of Nanzhao, and it will communicate with Yunnan in the future."

"But Xifan will never give up here easily." Gao Yue came to the nail on the head.

Wei Gao smiled and said, "So I think there will be a big battle to fight next time south of Qionglai Mountain."

Hearing this, Gao Yue nodded.

Then the two laughed tacitly, meaning that it is to fight or cooperate with you, and there are no fearful enemies in this world.

"Hey, hey, why are your Xingyuan's wine so strong?" Wei Gao couldn't help but shout after drinking the wine given by Gao Yue.

"It's so strong that it's easy to keep warm." Gao Yue replied.

In the past two or three years, the old grain accumulated in the granaries was still rich after distributing the rations of soldiers and dealing with the court's rice. Gao Yue instructed the soldiers in the mansion who knew how to make wine and started making wine, and the degree was higher.

Sure enough, after Wei Gao took a few sips of Xingyuan's "Zhongliang Sauce", he felt that his blood was surging. It was so useful in this wind and snow mountain, so he distributed the spirit to everyone in the pavilion and the soldiers outside the police whistle.

Then Wei Gao called out the envoys of the Eastern Barbarians and said that you three will have a good meal and I will give you drinks. Then go down to Qionglai Mountain in advance to Liwu City in Lizhou and tell your tribe: Gao Jieshuai and I will join the blood of the three great ghost masters to establish brotherhood. Then you wait for the three tribes to help our army pass the Dadu River!

Three days later, on the high ground of the east mountain of Liwu City, tens of thousands of men and women from the three Dongman tribes of Wu Deng, Lianglin and Fengpa were all wearing black robes, surrounding the big ghost master like an angry tide. The little ghost masters arrived, and then sang and danced to welcome the arrival of the Tang army.

Under a big tree in the highland, Wei Gao and Gao Yueji used the ceremony of a young prison, and then hugged the three great ghost masters warmly and bleed each other. The three great ghost masters burst into tears, "The Eastern Man will never rebel against the Tang Dynasty!"
