Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 656 Chapter 674: Xi Nuluo's decision
Yuan Tiangang nodded with a look of pity on his face, and sighed, "My condolences to King Nanzhao."

"Impossible! How could it be like this!" Xi Nuluo shook his head in disbelief, and shouted in despair, "How is it possible! How could it be Tang Huang who killed my son Sheng Luo? How is this possible!"

Yuan Tiangang said solemnly: "Please believe the king of Nanzhao, if it is really what the Wang family of Taiyuan did, he will definitely do it impeccably, how can the court find out, and it was found out so quickly, obviously someone did it in advance. After everything was arranged, some evidence was left on purpose, and the spearhead was pointed at the Taiyuan Wang family. In order to protect themselves, the Taiyuan Wang family could only admit it voluntarily, otherwise it would be a rebellion against the imperial court. But the crime of treason, the word treason, the King of Nanzhao should know better than Yuan."

When Xi Nuluo heard this, her face was full of tears, and she kept murmuring in Nanzhao dialect: "It was Emperor Tang who killed my son, it was Emperor Tang...it was Emperor Tang..."

He was so sad. He was very sad when he lost his son. He thought Tang Huang had avenged his son, but he didn't expect that the real murderer was Tang Huang. It was a lie that he was grateful to Tang Huang before. Yes, he hates Emperor Tang very much now, however, no matter how much he hates, it is useless. Datang is too powerful, so powerful that he can suffocate him. He can't avenge his son at all. He is sad, aggrieved, and angry, so his body As the majestic king of Nanzhao, he could only shed tears, and he didn't even have the courage to take revenge.

After crying for a while, Xi Nuluo wiped away the tears, looked up at Yuan Tiangang, and asked, "Who are you, and why do you know such secret things?"

Yuan Tiangang said slowly: "My lord, Yuan Shoucheng, is the staff and military advisor of King Wu's mansion. King Wu has an eyeliner in Chang'an, and he knows all the troubles in the court. Although this matter is secret, it cannot escape King Wu's eyeliner. Although the emperor is the father of the king of Wu, the king of Wu has a noble nature and is not ashamed of what the emperor of Tang has done, so he sent Yuan to inform the king of Nanzhao."

"Are you from King Wu of Yizhou?" Xi Nuluo looked at Yuan Tiangang in surprise when he heard the words. King Wu was no stranger to him. They all seem to have a close relationship with the King of Wu, and they have praised the virtues of the King of Wu in front of him several times. The reason why Datang supported them in Meng Shezhao's crusade against the other five edicts is said to be the King of Wu's great help. It can be said that without the King of Wu, there would be no Today's Nanzhao, so King Wu has great kindness to Nanzhao. In Xi Nuluo's heart, King Wu is like a benefactor.

Yuan Tiangang smiled and nodded, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, saying: "This is a letter written by King Wu."

The King of Nanzhao hurriedly took the letter with both hands respectfully, only to see a line of vigorous and powerful small characters written on the envelope: King Mengxi Nuluo of Nanzhao personally wrote it.

Xi Nuluo hurriedly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper to look at it, and after reading it, he put down the letter paper excitedly, and said: "It is really a letter from King Wu, and the handwriting and seal of King Wu are recognizable to me."

Li Ke did not directly say the words to recruit Xi Nuluo in the letter, but expressed his kindness very tactfully. First, he sincerely apologized to the King of Nanzhao for the mistakes made by his father, and then hoped that Nanzhao and the Great Tang lived in peace and governed one side peacefully. Anyway, he spoke beautifully, and his virtuous image was comparable to that of a saint.

Xi Nuluo looked at the letter paper again, and said movedly: "King Wu is really virtuous and virtuous. Compared with Emperor Tang, he is much higher."

"Good! The meaning of the king of Nanzhao is the same as that of Yuan!" Yuan Tiangang suddenly smiled and said, "And such a virtuous king of Wu, the Tang emperor actually demoted him to Yizhou because he was not a direct descendant, and let the weak and incompetent The king of Jin became the prince, and Yuan felt it was a shame when he thought about it! How unfair the heavens are!"

Xi Nuluo didn't speak when he heard the words, but stared at Yuan Tiangang, because he felt that Yuan Tiangang didn't finish his sentence.

Sure enough, Yuan Tiangang continued: "King Wu is benevolent and filial, respects righteousness, and is unwilling to do rebellious things. However, as a military adviser to King Wu, Yuan Mou should seek blessings for King Wu's future. Yuan Mou thinks that King Wu has great ambitions. , and has both virtue and virtue, born with the appearance of an emperor, he can be the ruler of the world, would the king of Nanzhao be willing to help the king of Wu?"

Xi Nuluo narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and his expression was a bit complicated. Yuan Tiangang is pulling him to rebel together. Rebellion is a big event, and it is related to the survival of Nanzhao. Naturally, he can't easily agree, his face changes. Several times, he suddenly asked: "Is this what King Wu meant? Or was it yours?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Naturally, it was Yuan's intention, and the King of Wu didn't know about it yet."

Xi Nuluo sneered and said, "King Wu has no objection, so what's the use of your words?"

Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "Yuan might as well tell the truth to King Nanzhao, King Wu is naturally coveted for the supreme position, but because of benevolence, filial piety and righteousness, it is inconvenient to make a move, and King Wu also knows that the current Tang Dynasty is stable, He is weak and weak, acting rashly, just bringing himself to perish, but Yuan has already paved the way for King Wu over the years. The governor of Chongzhou and the governor of Yaozhou have been persuaded by Yuan. If the king of Nanzhao is willing to join, King Wu is like a tiger with wings added."

Xi Nuluo said expressionlessly: "Even if I surrender to the King of Wu in Nanzhao, the total strength of my army is probably less than [-]. With such a little strength, it is too wild for you to want to make trouble."

Yuan Tiangang said: "It is up to people to plan, but it is up to God to make things happen. At the beginning, Lu Dongzan almost captured Chang'an with only 15 troops. It is very important who leads the army. Besides, Yuan has already planted disasters around the prince. After the prince succeeded There will be some turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, which is the best opportunity to take action. At that time, we have been preparing for several years, so how can we only have [-] troops?"

Xi Nuluo fell into silence when he heard the words. To be honest, he was a little moved. Seeing that he had begun to hesitate, Yuan Tiangang knew that there was something to be done, and immediately threw out a huge temptation, saying: "Yuan can promise King Nanzhao on behalf of King Wu. After the King of Wu ascended the throne, he allocated all the south of Chongzhou to Nanzhao, such a large piece of land is ten times the territory of your Nanzhao!"

As soon as this remark came out, Xi Nuluo was immediately moved. Driven by hatred and lured by interests, how could he not be moved, so he asked: "If this king agrees, can you persuade King Wu to act?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Naturally, which prince doesn't like the supreme position."

"Okay!" The King of Nanzhao suddenly stood up when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "When the Tang envoy arrives, I will kill the Tang envoy first, and use this to avenge my son Sheng Luo!"

"Never!" Yuan Tiangang also stood up and said, "The king of Nanzhao should put the overall situation first. He must not kill Li Hao, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he will definitely startle the snake and attract the Tang Emperor to crusade."

The King of Nanzhao said angrily, "Then Li Hao was the murderer who killed my son Sheng Luo!"

"Yuan knows." Yuan Tiangang said patiently, "but Li Hao is only following orders, the real culprit is the Emperor Tang, besides, the King of Wu admires Li Hao's talent very much and really wants to recruit him under his command. If the King of Nanzhao really hates him Li Hao, you can secretly capture him, and Yuan will take him back to the King of Wu."

The King of Nanzhao frowned upon hearing this: "Wouldn't this scare the snake away?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "You can't do it yourself. I heard that the King of Nanzhao is very kind to Wu Qing, the elder of the Five Sacred Sect. The King of Nanzhao can entrust Wu Qing to let the Five Sacred Sect take action to capture Li Hao, but remember not to hurt others. , so as not to make matters worse."

The King of Nanzhao nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words: "It would be very appropriate to invite the Five Sages to take action, but I don't know where Li Hao's team is?"

"I was still in Yizhou five days ago." Yuan Tiangang thought for a while, and said, "The road to Bashu is not easy. It will take at least 20 days, maybe more, to get here."

King Nanzhao nodded and said, "Then I will send people to the Five Sacred Church tomorrow."

"Also." Yuan Tiangang suddenly reminded, "Regardless of success or failure, no one will know that it is related to your Nanzhao king, otherwise the Tang Emperor will be alarmed, and when soldiers come to Nanzhao, neither Yuan nor Wu Wang will be able to save you." .”

King Nanzhao nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, this king will naturally know the seriousness."

"So, Yuan is relieved." Yuan Tiangang smiled and cupped his hands. "Today, Yuan is very happy to form an alliance with King Nanzhao, so he went back to report to King Wu, and persuaded King Wu to make a big deal together, so he bid farewell."

"Walk slowly, don't send."

The King of Nanzhao watched Yuan Tiangang go out, was silent for a long time, and then shouted: "Come here!"

No one paid any attention, and then he remembered that his guards were all knocked out by Yuan Tiangang, so he ran out to check in person. Sure enough, there were more than 30 guards lying around outside the palace gate and in the courtyard. He snorted. , all alive, just fainted.

Looking at the fainted guards all over the courtyard, King Nanzhao was amazed. Yuan Shoucheng was so mysterious that he could come and go freely in this heavily guarded palace. If he rejected Yuan Tiangang, would he kill himself? At that time, he didn't think so much, but now that he thought about it, he was afraid for a while.

Xi Nuluo regained her composure, walked up to a confidant, kicked him, and shouted: "Duan Yanping! Get up!"

There was no response, so Xi Nuluo could only squat down and pinch Duan Yanping's people, pinching and pulling again, Duan Yanping finally woke up, opened his eyes and saw Xi Nuluo, he was shocked, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty: " Damn the villain! The villain..."

"Get up!" Xi Nuluo picked him up and said loudly, "I don't want you to die, you just do something for me, wake up all the guards first, and send a letter to me in the morning." Send the letter to Wudu Ridge and give it to Wuqing, the elder of the Wudu Sect... Oh, yes, by the way, bring 1000 taels of gold, Wuqing is a bit greedy."

"Yes!" Duan Yanping hurriedly saluted, and then tried his best to wake up the others.

Xi Nuluo turned around with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the northern sky. He had never been to Chang'an, but he guessed that Chang'an should be there. He never expected that he wanted his son to go to Tang Chang'an to see the world. But he never returned, and stayed in Chang'an forever. Since then, heaven and man have been separated. Thinking of Tang Emperor's despicable methods, Xinuluo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said to himself in a deep voice: "Don! There is no balance!"
