Chapter 998 Crossing the Border

"General, look, the Tang army has actually entered our military camp. How are we going to go back?"

Not far from the border checkpoint, Nanzhao's army has hid here. According to their previous ideas, try not to have any contact with the Tang army. Let's get out first and wait for them to leave. Go back again.

It was well planned, but after the soldier finished speaking, everyone on the hillside looked at their own military camp. The Tang army left a group of people behind, as if they were not ready to leave, and many people began to feed It's obvious that he wants to stay here for a long time.

"How do I know what to do? If I had known this, I wouldn't have come out. How can you guys go over and ask what's going on with these Tang troops?"

The general was also afraid, so he didn't even dare to come forward. He could only ask a few of his men to run over and ask. In less than a stick of incense, these men came back. You can tell by the expressions on their faces, The Tang army was by no means a temporary stop.

"Those people said that they were invited by our King. They want to help us defend the border. They are afraid that other countries around here will invade us, so they want to guard the pass for us. We can also go back and fight with them. We'll stay together, and if you don't want to, you can go home, as we like."

A soldier said out of breath. After hearing this, the people around him suddenly felt like they were being ripped off. We just hid temporarily because of the embarrassment between the two parties. Let you hurry up and pass through here.

Who knows that you did pass, and neither of us is embarrassed, but you are stationed here, and you speak as if you are the masters here. If you are the masters here, then who are we? Where are people? Are we all migrants?

"What should I do, General?"

"It's getting dark soon. We can't spend the night in the mountains. The dew this night..."

These hundreds of soldiers were all at a loss and wanted to know what to do next. When they came out, they were in such a hurry that they brought nothing with them except the water bags on their bodies. If they were to spend the night in the mountains, this would be very difficult. You have to be bitten to death by all kinds of bugs at night.

"This place is obviously ours, why do they want to occupy it? Besides them invading us, who else is invading us? Brothers, stand up. Let's go ask them now. I really don't think so. If you believe it, is it possible that they dare to occupy our military camp blatantly?"

The officer said very forcefully, although some of his subordinates feel a little uncomfortable, if there is a conflict, can you expect our court to take care of this matter? It's not like they pushed us out to take the blame.

But now they are desperate. They didn't bring anything with them except the clothes they were wearing. They thought it would be over after the Tang army passed by. Now they have to stay here to help us defend. What the hell are you doing?

"Hello, military lords, I am the young guard here..."

In less than half an hour, they returned to the original military camp. Their general was very tough on the hillside just now, but now he couldn't straighten up in an instant. This guy was really embarrassed.

They bent down at 70 degrees the whole time, and then explained their situation. Of course, they didn't dare to say that they wanted this place back. They just said that the brothers didn't bring anything with them and could only come back to spend the night.

"General, we are here to help you. This is a personal letter from your king. We are also afraid of any misunderstanding between the two parties, so we will only set up a tent next to it. Your original building can still be used, but When standing guard, we need to add double guards."

The person in charge of the reception in the Tang Dynasty was very good-tempered and took out a letter from the King of Nanzhao. Unfortunately, few of the people present could read. They didn’t know whether it was true or not, but the Tang army was so aggressive. , it’s impossible for someone to set up a sentry post for you, right?

"No problem, no problem, everything is done as you said."

The general also nodded vigorously. Everyone was an old man who had been in the army. How big was the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides? These people are very clear. Look at the people next to them, all of them are big and round. Even if we don't rely on those strange weapons, we can fight against them with both hands, and we will never be their opponents.

What's more, according to the thinking of many people, the Tang Dynasty is our suzerain state, and we are a family. If something happens to our royal city, they have sent people to mediate. How can we use weapons against them? That means we are being unreasonable.

That night, the border posts all had a scene like this. The Tang army took out their supplies and held a bonfire party with the Nanzhao army. The Nanzhao army ate the vegetables.

In the past, I always felt that Nanzhao was very wealthy, especially in terms of food. Because they have always been in a state of peace, the people's wealth is accumulating every year. But when I compare the food between the two armies, I immediately I can feel the gap between me and Datang.

After drinking some wine, the two sides asked about the salary issue again. The people on their side became even more unbalanced. The salary of a soldier of the Tang Dynasty was more than that of two or three of us. No wonder they are so strong and eat every day. How can you not be strong with dry food? We people eat twice a day.

According to Li Xiang's order, they must slowly begin to assimilate these people and tell them what life is like for the people of Tang Dynasty. What kind of life are you people living for? In short, their yearning for the Tang Dynasty can be further enhanced. Originally, the Tang Dynasty was a place that the surrounding people yearned for. After a period of their deception, the level of this yearning will be even higher.

Of course, these are all trivial matters. Li Xiang doesn't have the time to care about this. At this moment, Li Xiang's army has run a hundred miles away. News of Nanzhao Royal City has come. Both sides are currently in a state of calm. This is what King Nanzhao wants most.

But Li Xiang felt that something was wrong. The King of Zhennan clearly held the power. He knew that delaying it would not be good for him, but he still delayed it. What was going on? This is also very unlike his character. Has he changed his gender?
