The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

On the second day after the capture of Doma City, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, Yin Xianhe, Xu Xingzhi, and Wang Xuanshu led [-] soldiers and set out following [Mie Qier] to make a surprise attack. city.

The terrain in Tubo is relatively high, and the trails are mostly cliffs and continuous mountains. Some soldiers are in poor health and have already developed altitude sickness.The [-] soldiers led by Kou Zhong and six people are all in good health, otherwise, without going to some cities, a lot of soldiers will die due to altitude sickness.

As for Li Xiuning, after waiting for three days, 1 people sent by the prefect of Lanzhou Prefecture finally arrived. After delivering more than 7 surrendered soldiers from Doma City, Li Xiuning led an army of 7 troops and continued on the march.As for the more than [-] Tubo soldiers, someone will naturally deal with it, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

……

On September [-]th of the first year of Wude, after a five-day march, Song Que led an army of [-] to Langzhou.As for the other [-] troops, Song Que handed it over to the Song family's children to set off by boat, and marched to South Vietnam and other countries by sea. [

Liangzhou is one of the independent cities in South Vietnam, with a population of only a few tens of thousands and only tens of thousands of troops.

South Vietnam and other countries have been independent forces since ancient times, and so is Liangzhou.Because the people in South Vietnam and other places are arrogant and ignorant of etiquette, it makes sense to be called Nanban.In addition, the land of South Vietnam is too barren and backward, and no dynasty in history is willing to waste money and manpower on it.Until the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Gongyun, the ancestor of the Li Dynasty in Vietnam, continued to send troops to the north, encroaching on the territory of the Song Dynasty.He was named the prefect of Liangzhou, and in the second year of Tiancheng (1029), Li Taizong married Princess Pingyang to Chenggui's son Jia Shaotai as his wife, and Liangzhou has been the territory of Vietnam to this day.

However, now that Zhennan King Song Que started his journey to unify South Vietnam, Liangzhou might belong to Huaxia from now on.

"Father...uh, I would like to report to the commander, Wang Jiafeimao of Langzhou invited the commander into the city to discuss the matter of surrender."

Song Shidao originally wanted to address him as "Father", but after being glared at by Song Que, he immediately changed his name.

As for Song Shidao, he didn't like civil and military virtues.Song Que was very grateful.Song Shidao's personality tends to be flat.I like to travel and play in mountains and rivers, and I can read and write.It is also based on this point, coupled with the Li family's father and son's talents, that Song Que gave up the idea of ​​fighting for the world.

Liangzhou was originally the land of the Lord.Occupied by the South Vietnamese native Jia Fei Mao.And the title of Liangzhou King is naturally his own.A city with only a few hundred thousand people.Dare to proclaim himself king, Song Que sneered.

"Hey, the little Liangzhou dares to call itself king. Hearing the big brother... the moment the coach arrives, he will belch as soon as he arrives."

Song Lu still acted carelessly, but Song Que and Song Zhi understood that this was just Song Lu's superficial appearance, to make people think that he was a guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. I know that this girl's appearance is just a disguise.

"Second brother, you lead the army to wait outside, and come as you go."

After Song Que instructed Song Zhi on the side, he brought Song Shidao, Song Lu, and a dozen guards into Liangzhou City.

"King Zhennan came to Langzhou City, and Jia is very honored."

Song Que and others entered the Langzhou City Lord's Mansion, and a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with a sallow complexion greeted everyone.Of course, the sallow complexion of the middle-aged man is not due to illness, but it is the same for all people in South Vietnam, probably because of the favorable location, climate and other reasons.

"It is a great honor for Song to be received by the King of Lao Liang in person."

Song Que bowed his hands to the visitor, but said politely.And from the meaning of Song Que's words, it can be known that the person who came was Jia Feimao who claimed to be the king of Liangzhou.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it!" Jia Feimao bowed and saluted, his tone extremely flattering. "After today, Jia, the king of Liangzhou, will be taken care of by the king of Zhennan in the future. Jia has ordered his servants to hold a banquet to clean up the dust for the king of Zhennan. After eating and drinking, he will have a meeting with Zhennan The King of Nan is discussing the matter of surrender, and the King of Zhennan invites you."

Jia Feimao welcomed Song Que and his party into the mansion with great humility, and when he lowered his head, there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Under Kai Mao's instructions, the delicious dishes were quickly put on the banquet.

"The king of Zhennan came to my Langzhou, and Jia must do it first!" [

Jia Fei Mao picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, and poured a large bowl of wine into his mouth.The countries in South Vietnam are not as rich as the Central Plains, and most of the places can barely maintain food and clothing, so there is no spare money to buy luxury items such as exquisite jade cups.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone's face turned red from drinking, even Song Shidao did the same.

"King of Zhennan, Mr. Jia has something unclear, please ask Zhennan King to clarify." Jia Feimao held a porcelain bowl, and after pouring a large bowl of wine into his belly, he looked at Song Que with a look of doubt on his face.

"You can ask the King of Liangzhou what you don't understand. If Song knows it, he will definitely answer it to the King of Liangzhou."

Song Que's expression was flat, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at the moment.

"You are so thankful to the King of Zhennan." Jia Feimao bowed to Song Que with his fists clasped, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Liangzhou is located in a wild place, and the people are arrogant and ignorant of etiquette, and there is nothing to recommend them. Why did the King of Zhennan send troops?" What about this?"

"It is precisely because Liangzhou is located in a wild place, and the people are arrogant and ignorant of etiquette. In order to let the people of Liangzhou live a prosperous life, everyone knows the way of Confucius and Mencius, so I asked Song to bring my teacher of benevolence and righteousness to spread my Tang civilization. Arrive in Liangzhou. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty has worked hard, thanks to the understanding of the king of Liangzhou, and saved the people of Liangzhou from the disaster of war, and the people of Liangzhou on behalf of Song will respect the king of Liangzhou."

Saying that, Song Que for the first time took the initiative to pick up the porcelain bowl on the table and toasted Kai Mao from afar.

"Hehe, the King of Zhennan is too famous. Mr. Jia knows the name of King Zhennan and respects the character of King Zhennan, so he surrendered to King Zhennan." There was a smile on Jia Feimao's face, but seeing his eyeballs rolled, He seemed to say casually: "The prestige of the King of Zhennan is unknown to people in Nanyue and other countries. Why did the King of Zhennan submit to the emperor of Tang Dynasty? With a wave of his arm, the king of Zhennan will definitely respond in response. The king of Zhennan can stand on his own as emperor. Wouldn't it be wonderful to stand across the river from the Great Tang Empire, depending on the face of the people?"

"Crack!" Song Lu slapped the table, his eyes widened with anger, and he stared at Jia Feimao and cursed: "Fuck your mother! My elder brother has read Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, is he the kind of unfaithful and unrighteous person you call him?" .You Liangzhou is only a small city with no more than [-] soldiers and horses. Since you dare to say such treasonous words, you are looking for death!"

Song Lu was yelling and cursing, but Song Que was drinking.No response at all.

"Song Sanye. Zhennan King didn't say anything, why are you so anxious." Seeing Song Que's reaction, Jia Feimao was overjoyed and mocked Song Lu.Continue to seduce: "Does the king of Zhennan have any worries? Although the Tang Empire is strong, our countries in South Vietnam are not afraid of him. And if the Tang Dynasty wants to send troops, we only need to station [-] elite soldiers on the south bank of the Yangtze River. At that time, there were millions of lions in the Tang Dynasty, so there was nothing he could do. At that time, Zhennan King will be the emperor. We will be entrusted as kings, and each will get what he needs. Why not do it? What does Zhennan King think?"

"I'm afraid the king of Liangzhou has been preparing for a long time to say this. If so, why did he tell Song to surrender to the Tang Dynasty? Don't you think Song is easy to fool?"

Song Que glanced at Jia Feimao lightly, and the latter was frightened.But thinking about his preparations, he calmed down a little.

"Since King Zhennan said that, then A will say it straight!"

Jia Feimao rolled up his sleeves, stood up from the table, and said loudly: "Everyone is a sensible person. It is impossible to hand over the rights you have for nothing. Anyone who would do that is definitely a fool. Although Liangzhou is small, But it has all internal organs. Jiamou proclaimed himself king, happy to be at ease, lost the throne for no reason, and would not change anyone. It is said that Zhennan King, now surrendered to Datang, but Zhennan King's throne will not change, otherwise Zhennan King The king must also be unwilling. Jia is the king of Liangzhou, and there are many bosses on his head inexplicably, but he also feels uncomfortable. Just because he respects the reputation of Zhennan King, Jia is willing to unite the South Vietnamese countries to make Zhennan King the emperor. , Jia is still the King of Langzhou, you and I will not invade each other, Zhennan King thinks it is feasible!"

"It's a good proposal. In the early years, Mr. Song would have agreed. Now Mr. Song is calm and doesn't have much thought. If the king of Langzhou refuses to surrender, we will only have to meet each other with swords."

Song Que put down the porcelain bowl and stood up, looked at Jiafei Mao and said calmly.

"Since that's the case..."

Looking at Song Que's words, Jia Feimao paused, and suddenly smashed the porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground, with a "pop", the porcelain bowl fell apart, and then saw several soldiers outside the mansion holding spears, surrounding the whole mansion.On the periphery, there is a circle of archers who have already set their bows and arrows.In such a situation, Song Que and the others were in danger.

"What does King Liangzhou mean by this?"

Song Que's face remained unchanged, he glanced at Jia Feimao, and said in a calm tone. [

"The king of Zhennan is extremely powerful, and Jia cherishes his family and life, so he has no choice but to take this bad policy. If the king of Zhennan agrees with Jia's proposal, the previous words will still be valid, and Jia will still unite with the South Vietnamese countries to make the king of Zhennan the emperor. If King Zhennan refuses, then A will only offend."

Jia Feimao's face is serious, Song Que's [Heavenly Sword] is famous, how can he not be afraid.Now that Song Que is being forced to agree to his proposal, given Song Que's reputation, he is not afraid that he will go back on his word.If he disagrees, then Jia Feimao will have no choice but to kill him, otherwise a master-level master will hang above his head, and he will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"Since the king of Liangzhou knows Song's strength, he thinks that these people can resist Song?"

"A certain person naturally knows, so in the fine wine, A certain person added some condiments, whether life or death depends on Zhennan Wang's thought."

Facing Song Que's words, Jia Feimao was not worried at all.He had tampered with the fine wine, Song Que couldn't even fly with his wings today.

"Forget it, since the king of Langzhou is obsessed with his obsession, it's no wonder Song is merciless!"

Song Que didn't care about what Jia Feimao said, and under Jia Feimao's surprised eyes, he sprayed a mouthful of wine mist from his mouth.

"Some tricks, Song has long disdained it."

After speaking, Song Que stretched out his hand to touch the treasured sword at his waist for many years, under Jia Feimao's horrified and inexplicable eyes, he slowly drew out the treasured sword, only to see the light of the sword flashing past.Jia Feimao, who was standing in the center of the main seat, suddenly grabbed his neck, and a little bit of bright red blood flowed from between his fingers.

"I'm not willing to..."

"thump!"

The last word "heart" has not yet fallen, and the person has fallen face-to-face.The game that has been arranged for a long time is so vulnerable in the face of Song Que's absolute strength, how can Jia Feimao be reconciled.It's a pity, no matter how unwilling he is, there is nothing he can do, in front of the wheel of history.He can only be crushed.

"Put down the weapon in your hand, otherwise, don't blame Song for the treasured sword in his hand!"

"Drop your weapons and surrender, or shoot to kill!"

"Drop your weapons and surrender, or shoot to kill!"

More than a dozen of Song Que's personal guards shouted loudly, those soldiers were already frightened by Song Que's prestige.Seeing Jia Feimao collapsed now, how dare they make a move? After hearing Song Que's words, they all honestly threw away their weapons and squatted aside with their heads in their hands.

Song Que has been in the old world for many years.How could it be so easy to be recruited.It was ordered before entering the city.So no one swallowed the wine at all, it was all stuck in the throat, and when Song Que made a move, he would have spit it out a long time ago.Kai Mao is a guy who hasn't read many strategies.He actually wanted to play tricks in front of Song Que.I really don't know how to live or die.

"Order the second brother to lead the troops into the city!"

the next day.All the men in Jiafeimao's family were beheaded and killed, and the women were sold to others as servants.Just beheading the leader made Liangzhou City surrender.It can be seen how famous the [Heavenly Knife] is.

"Pass down the commander-in-chief's order, the army will continue to move forward tomorrow, and send troops to Fengzhou!"

On the third day, Song Que led an army of [-] troops to set off from Liangzhou. After two days of trekking, they arrived at Fengzhou at the confluence of Honghe River and Xidaojiang River across South Vietnam.

However, it was found that the people of Fengzhou resisted. After inquiring in the city, they found out that the Jia family who originally occupied Fengzhou, after hearing that Song Que sent troops to Fengzhou, had already packed up their money and led their family to Jiaozhou.The city wall of Fengzhou was no more than three feet high, and it was extremely easy to breach. The Jia family knew that they could not resist Song Que, so they abandoned the city.

Subsequently, the Jia family united with the Li family of Jiaozhou, the Tuo family of Aizhou, the Tan family of Jizhou, and the Cha family of Daozhou. A total of 26 forces in the eighteen states of South Vietnam gathered 30 soldiers and horses to fight against Song Que.

Song Que had no more than 30 soldiers and horses, but Nanyue gathered [-] soldiers and horses to resist, which once again proved Song Que's great reputation.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the Nanyue Kingdom was flattened, and a prefecture was set up in Jiaozhi, Nanyue Kingdom, with a total of nine counties and eighteen prefectures; at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi was changed to Jiaozhou, and the government was named Longbian.Afterwards, Jiaozhou continued to rebel and submit during the Three Kingdoms, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. The original eighteen prefectures also gradually shrank. In the former Sui Dynasty, there was only one remaining Jiaozhou, and the remaining seventeen prefectures were independent.

Therefore, after hundreds of years of construction, Jiaozhou City is now high and thick, just like Tubo's Doma City yyng.Song Que's 30 troops alone would be difficult to conquer, and the [-] troops of the Eighteen States Allied Forces would be enough even if ten soldiers were exchanged for Song Que's one soldier!It can be seen that the battle in Jiaozhou is extremely difficult.Of course, if Song Que wins, all the forces in the eighteen prefectures will be wiped out, and South Vietnam will be pacified in one fell swoop. As the saying goes, there will be disadvantages and advantages. It depends on Song Que's methods!

Afterwards, Song Que's 30 troops were stationed outside Jiaozhou City, forcing the [-] troops in the city to dare not move. Song Que's name is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

Song Que didn't do anything here, but don't forget that Song Que still has [-] troops from the sea, and now it's just in use.

Aizhou, Jizhou, Nanhaizhou, Cangwuzhou, Yulinzhou, Hepuzhou, Jiuzhenzhou, Rinanzhou, Zhuyazhou, and Danerzhou, a total of ten states are close to the sea.The fifteen forces from the ten prefectures were all concentrated in Jiaozhou, but their family properties and some small families were all still there, and they were not taken away at all.Then, all the servants of the fifteen families in these ten states fell into the hands of Song Que's [-] army.

The next step was very simple, Song Que directly passed the news to Jiaozhou City.Then Song Que didn't have to do anything, just wait for the result.

"Now that Song Que has captured our little one, what should we do?"

In the hall of Jiaozhou state capital, a middle-aged man with fluffy hair like a bird's nest with a bead chain hanging around his neck was full of anxiety.

"That's right, my family is in Song Que's hands. If I don't surrender, I'm afraid my life will be lost!"

Another middle-aged man with wrinkled and dark skin was also anxious.

"Trust Patriarch, the Patriarch of the altar needs to worry about this matter. Song Que is also of Han origin. They Han people pride themselves on benevolence and righteousness, and they will never touch your family."

On the main seat in the center, a sophisticated middle-aged man comforted everyone in a slow voice.

The two people who spoke before were Tola, the head of the Tuo family in Aizhou, and Tan Dan, the head of the Tan family in Jizhou.The man in the middle seat is Li Daiquan, the head of the Li family in Jiaozhou.

"Report to the king of Jiaozhou that the Han army has something to send into the city. Please tell me to let all the kings watch."

While the 26 forces were discussing endlessly, a soldier ran into the mansion holding an exquisite wooden box.Li Daiquan, who was above the main seat, had a bright light in his eyes, as if he understood something.

Each of the 26 powers in the eighteen states is the king, and some states have two powers that rule together. This is how the 26 powers in the eighteen states appear.

"Quickly open it and see what's inside!"

Seeing that Song Que had something delivered, everyone was very anxious and clamored to open the wooden box.So, after obtaining Li Daiquan's consent, the soldier slowly opened the wooden box.

"Ah, this is..."

"There's still a piece of paper inside, look what's written on it!"

"Song Mou, a small gift is not a tribute. Starting tomorrow, Song Mou will not present a thumb, but a good human head. On the next day, Song Mou will present two human heads, and then four human heads, until all the kings Kill all the family members. Where to go, I believe that the kings can make wise choices."

It turned out that the wooden box contained the thumbs of these little captives.Moreover, Song Que's words were very clear, if he didn't surrender, he would kill people.

"King of Jiaozhou, I think it's better for us to surrender. Isn't it just going to Chang'an to be an idle official? That's not bad!"

"Yes, yes! The treatment of the Han people is not bad, it is much better than our precarious situation."

"It's better to drop!"

The families whose youngsters were captured clamored to surrender to Song Que.As for the remaining eleven families, some people also showed signs of emotion. After all, Song Que's reputation was too great, which made them feel frightened. (to be continued...)
