16. The Xifan Army was defeated

With this situation, Duan Gupu couldn't help but make any repetitions. He not only gave the treasure bribe to Ma Dingde, but also agreed to the conditions proposed by the other party.

In private, Ma Dingde distributed all the treasures sent by Nanzhao to his subordinates and his tribesmen as spoils, and then led the cavalry to Xilu to accept Yi Mouxun's resubmission.

A few days later, Yi Mouxun was in a mess and asked his subordinates to build a simple floating bridge. Then he retreated back to the south bank of Xilu River and soon arrived at the city of Huichuan.

This city has been occupied by the ronin, led by the Liluo style. The governor and the city envoy who were originally placed here in Nanzhao were killed, with their heads hanging at the city gate - the Liluo style was proud and proud, and the sixty Western soldiers (given to him by Zamp) around the sanitation area pointed to Yi Mouxun, who was leading the defeated army and shouted:

"Today, I will take Huichuan City and destroy your Huichuan Governor. Tomorrow, the wealth of the entire Erhai Lake and Dianchi Lake will belong to my Langqiongzhao!"

"Damn it!" Yi Mouxun's eyes were almost bleeding, but what could he do now? He could only swallow his anger and lead almost all the defeated soldiers to bury hatred in his heart and return home in disappointment to his king capital.

Soon on Papaya Ridge, Wei Gao and Gao Yue stood side by side, looking at the towering city among the mountains and ridges, and the Xifan Fort Village connected on all sides, thinking for a while, then reached a consensus: "This time the battle for Lizhou, the purpose of the state has been achieved, and you can be triumphant!"

Since the two armies of Dingwu and Fengyi fought, it took more than two months to conquer the three divisions of the East Man, build 57 prefectures and tuodiac territory, and nearly a thousand miles of land. In the battle of Pagua Ridge, more than 3,700 Xifan's heads were killed and 1,400 prisoners were captured. After that, Wei Gao's power was greatly promoted. According to his own statement: as long as the three divisions of the East Man were slightly cultivated, the Xifan soldiers who were monitoring the Weizhou were able to restrain the Xifan soldiers. In less than two or three years, the stronger our side, and the weaker the Xifan in Jiannan area will be. After Yisong's success in the conquest of Dangxiang, we will gather the troops of Xichuan, Dongchuan, Banan and Xingyuan again to completely pacify and restore the Weizhou.

As for now, as Gao Yue said, our army has won a great victory, but the supplies are almost exhausted. We should stop when we are most proud and consolidate the achievements: Therefore, Gao Yue used a plan to forge Duan Jinyi's signature, and provoked Xibo Lumangre and Nanzhao Yimouxun to fight fiercely, which not only caused Xibo to suffer heavy losses and Nanzhao's vitality. After that, the two countries suspicious of each other, but also caused such a situation: Xibo's forces could only survive in the turf states, and Nanzhao was defeated by Shaye City and could not annex the turf states. They could only continue to seek peace from the Tang family. Wei Gao later took over the capital of Shu and watched the two families at the same time, and the complete capture of the turf states was only a matter of time.

Once Xifan's power in Wuzhou was destroyed, Wei Gao would set his sights on Victoria. "Xifan believed that Victoria was a worry-free city. I must have them worry about it from now on, so worried that they were exhausted."

So after Wei Gao and Gao Yue withdrew their troops, they set up several beacon towers at Qingxi Pass and left 700 Fengyi soldiers to guard Wangxing City, south of Dadu River. In the entire Lizhou, only 800 soldiers were left in Liwu City. The other mountain passes and other cities were given to the three divisions of the East Man. Later, Wei Gao left his general Xu Ji as the "Dongman Wu Deng, Feng Pa, and the general manager of the two-lin three divisions", leading 300 troops to Lizhou. At the junction of Yazhou, the Qionglai Pass was rushing through more than a hundred rock houses to reserve materials and equipment, and added Yangmu Pavilion to the military fort, supervising the entire Dongman, and guarding the southern gate of Shu Capital.

At the same time, the Tang family also achieved great success on the Northwest Front. The new host theory Shang Qixin'er was powerless to block the offensive of Shence Xingying and the Yining Army. Most of the territory near Shuiluochuan had been captured by the Tang army. Liu Haibin asked the court to build another big city at the mouth of Shuiluochuan in order to take Huizhou and Qinzhou in the future.

As for the great speeches on the southern road of Xifan, this person also learned the Central Plains clearly, and actually called defeat a victory. He sent a bird envoy to Zanpu's palace on the plateau. He said to Zanpu: In the battle of Papaya Ridge, the Tang army lost their armor and had to escape back to the north of Qingxi Pass. The entire Ruzhou was as motionless as a mountain. In addition, at the critical moment when I and the Tang army fought, the King of Dongri in Yunnan actually had a strange intention and tried to attack my rear. I set up a surprise soldier to defeat me. The bloodless occupation of Huichuan City is a proof of my merits!

Regarding Mangre and Ruzhou, Huichuan's discussion on beard and Shenchuan's Sinuolu are in harmony, with the same diameter.

Ma Dingde secretly accepted the large bribes from Nanzhao, and was very secretive.

Zanpu in the palace of Luoshecheng did not know the actual situation. After receiving the "good news" from Lumang, he was overjoyed and ordered him to give him a large amount of gold and silver, and reward the soldiers who made contributions.

So Lumangre also said that the current state of Wuzhou is in the Tang family, and it is extremely difficult to manage and defend Nanzhao. Please send another 10,000 to 20,000 Dongdai troops to strengthen defense.

Chisong Dezan also agreed to this.

Only after Qizangzang learned the truth, he felt angry and despised, so he summoned his father's servant Soma, and wrote the original version of the Battle of Papaya Ridge on the wooden slip. On his way back to Qinghai, Soma sent him to his father in Lusue City, and then submitted it to Zampo by his father.

In the letter, Quizang angrily accused the commander Lumangre of his timidity and hesitation, and said that the war was a crushing defeat in Xibo, and suggested that Zanpu replace the capable person to pacify Jiannan and Yunnan. Otherwise, once Wei Gao, Gao Yue and Du Huangshang come again, the ruling prefecture will definitely not be protected, and Wuyou City will be in danger. The failure in the southwest will affect the operation of Hexi and Longyou.

Zanpu is located in front of the red palace on the cliff. Shang Jiezan, who is a few unemployed, took the letter from Soma's eldest son, it was already mid-January of the following year, and his second son Wu Ren was also present.

After reading the letter, Shang Jiezan silently and threw the wooden slip into the brazier.

Outside the house, under the pale blue sky, the plateau is still cold.

The flames were peeling, "Master." Soma said.

"What Qi Zang Zhe Zhe said is all the truth, but it is not what the god Zanpu wants to hear. There is no need, and even things that will cause harm to the Nang family cannot be done." Shang Jie Zan said so.

Soma and Wu Ren could only keep their heads down and say nothing.

Soon, as the representative of the Na Nang family, Wu Ren went to the location of Lumangre's fief and congratulated his wife and children on his great victory in Papaya Ridge.

Regarding the fact that Mangre's family understands it, this is a sign that the Nang family asked them for alliance.

Soon, Qinghai Zhongdao Dao Horror also joined this secret aristocratic alliance.

Soon, at the suggestion of all the important officials, Zanpu ordered Qizang to leave Qinghai and return to Zhuzhou to become the military ambassador of the South Road, directly affiliated with Lumangre.

What an irony!

After hearing the news, the servant Soma knelt in front of the door of Shangjiezan's mansion and started crying.
Chapter completed!
