Chapter 978 The army enters Nanzhao

The attendant next to him wanted to explain to the old lady that King Zhennan’s wife and daughter had been thrown off the city wall. If this had not happened, maybe some soldiers and people had died. The old lady stood up to make peace. This thing is pretty okay.

But now it has been stained with the blood of the family. No matter what method the old lady uses, I am afraid that the two sons will not be able to reconcile, so the entourage next to them simply shut their mouths and pretended that this incident did not happen. However, if you insist on explaining, you may have to suffer a loss.

Now it is obvious what the two sons want. The eldest son wants to continue to hold on, rely on the high wall compound of the palace, and then continue to resist the attack of King Zhennan, waiting for the arrival of the Tang army, and then use the Tang army to With his strength, he defeated his second brother in one fell swoop.

What the younger son wants is a quick victory. Although the younger son also has some people who can help within the Tang Dynasty, the younger son can still tell the difference clearly. He must not let the army of the Tang Dynasty come to interfere. If the army of the Tang Dynasty If the army comes to interfere, there will be only one winner in the end, and that is the Tang Dynasty court.

Although King Zhennan thought clearly, there were some things that he could never decide. For example, at this moment when he entered the border of the Nanzhao Kingdom from Sichuan, Qin Huaiyu had already arrived here with more than 20,000 troops under his command. The troops in the Nanzhao border area Not much, but they still pushed forward without receiving orders from above, so these people could not enter Nanzhao.

Qin Huaiyu led 2,000 vanguard troops to arrive here first. There were more than 700 people on Nanzhao's side. This was the border they defended. Mainly because they believed too much in the Tang Dynasty in the past, although the four chieftains had been given to them by the Tang Dynasty. It's settled, but we just got married to the Tang Dynasty. Is the Tang Dynasty going to tear up the agreement and invade us now?

"This general, further forward is our territory of Nanzhao. Please ask this general to go back."

There has been no conflict yet, so the generals of Nanzhao are still very polite. They have always admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Li Xiang has just left here. They think that today is likely to be a misunderstanding. The Tang army often Training around, there are occasional things that cross the border, but they will be withdrawn soon, but something is not right about the situation today, because they are coming directly towards the checkpoint.

"You see clearly, this letter is an autographed letter from Your Highness the King. His Highness the King said that there was a rebellion in your Nanzhao Royal City, so he wrote to our Highness the Emperor Taisun, asking our Highness the Emperor Taisun to help him put down the rebellion. Now we still I don’t know what’s going on, so our Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson ordered me to bring two thousand troops to check it out. Could it be that the surname of Your Highness the King cannot even be counted?”

Qin Huaiyu originally thought about hitting them directly, but in that case, there are several checkpoints along the way from here to Nanzhao King City. He can't hit them all. Let's see if this letter is of any use. Before leaving, Li Xiang also said at that time, if this letter is useful, wouldn't it save you a lot of trouble? Anyway, just ask in the past. If you don't want to, you can fight again when the time comes.

"The general may have been deceived. Our Nanzhao Royal City is peaceful. How could there be a rebellion? Our King of Zhennan and our king are brothers. Even if there is a rebel, our King of Zhennan will help the king. Your Highness is going to put down the rebellion, but the general should go back first, wait for me to write a letter of divorce, ask for clarification, and then personally go to the general's barracks to explain."

The general of Nanzhao was stunned for a moment and then said these words. It was obvious that he was a subordinate of King Zhennan. If he were a subordinate of the king, he would immediately open the country gate to let these people pass, and he would have to defend these people in front. Leading the way, only the people of King Zhennan will stop them from passing, because now King Zhennan has the upper hand.

Of course, if King Zhennan is suppressed, then it will definitely be King Zhennan who requests assistance. Then His Highness the King will not allow the Tang army to enter. Li Xiang has long understood this situation.

In the hearts of these two brothers, if one of them is killed, then they will be close to the Tang Dynasty, but if anyone can control the situation, the Tang army will be a bit of a hindrance in the past, but Li Xiang has always been Whoever has the initiative, no matter which of you two brothers can take control of the situation, our Datang army will let it go as it says, and it does not depend on your consent.

Seeing that these people in front of him refused to let go, Qin Huaiyu sneered. The general of Nanzhao also felt the temperature around him drop. He knew that the person in front of him was the young general of the Tang Dynasty. This was not an ordinary person who came from a family of military generals. If they disagree, a fight will begin.

"General, please do not act rashly. This is a matter between the two countries..."

The general of Nanzhao slowly put his hand on the handle of the knife. Unfortunately, his movements were too slow. Before he could pull out the knife, Qin Huaiyu had already cut off the guy's head, and the army behind him immediately attacked Both sides moved aside, and more than two hundred people carrying serial slaves rushed out from the middle.

Before the soldiers of Nanzhao understood what was going on, a large number of arrows were shot out from the left and right sides of Qin Huaiyu. These arrows were very fast and had very strong penetrating ability. The soldiers of Nanzhao generally There was no armor, and the arrows would stop on the third person. Two people were already dead in front of them.

There are not many people in the border area, and there are only a few hundred people here. Most of them were killed by the serial slaves alone. Qin Huaiyu waved the sword in his hand, and the cavalry behind him rushed forward in a swarm. Three times five times two will take care of the rest.

"You, the centurion, will stay and guard this pass, and let the army behind you move in directly. Inform the generals behind you not to rest after arriving here. Follow the marks I left to chase me, and rush to Nanzhao King City on a starry night."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Huaiyu was already twenty meters away, and the cavalry behind him also hurriedly caught up. Except for a hundred-man team left behind, the others were afraid that they were running too slow. Just now If you don't move forward, you won't even have a chance to fight.

After this short conflict, they also saw that the combat effectiveness of the Nanzhao Kingdom's army was almost scum. The two sides had a head-to-head confrontation, but only four people died on our side, and the strength gap was too big...
