Chapter 195: Liu Gong’s clever plan: The prince leads his troops (Part 1)

Since talking to his father, Li Wei left Chang'an again.

Li Wei could understand what his father was feeling, and it was related to imperial power, father and son, brother, and even husband and wife, he could not fully believe it. Besides, he was twenty-one years old and grew older, and at least nominally poses greater danger to his father.

Now my father's condition is not at the point where he cannot move. Once he cannot see things at his eyes and is even difficult to walk. Most of the time when he has to let his mother deal with it on his behalf, I believe that even all the prime ministers in the court will write letters to force his father to abdicate.

Therefore, my father was a little reluctant and didn't know what he had done, which made him unhappy and had ideas.

However, after all, he is a modern man with a weak personality. If it weren't for the identity of the crown prince, he could learn from those who were promising in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and play the piano and whistle. He could understand, but his concepts were different, and he felt uncomfortable and stayed in the East Palace without any taste, so he came to Mount Li again. He could read books, hunt, and even see the scenery, which was in line with his personality.

Liu Rengui returned to Chang'an after he left Chang'an.

Liu Rengui became a prime minister and made great contributions. He was very popular in the court. Even if he had a good impression of himself, he would not be able to return to Beijing to see it. Otherwise, his father would have more ideas.

The person who came was Liu Rengui.

He turned over and got off the horse, bowed to Li Wei, walked over and laughed heartily, and said, "Your Highness, I've seen it."

"I've met Mr. Liu."

"I am just a warrior. What kind of husband? Your Highness is joking," Liu Rengui laughed and brought three or four guards to the palace.

Bier immediately brought him tea, and Liu Rengui said loudly: "Jiang Liangyuan, how dare I bear it?"

As long as you look at the prince, you will definitely know Bier's position in the prince's heart and will definitely respect it.

"This is my honor," Bier said softly. Liu Rengui is very good to the prince and has countless military achievements. Therefore, Liu Rengui respects her, but she respects Liu Rengui very much.

Liu Rengui took a sip of tea ceremony: "Your Highness, can you receive the emperor's imperial edict?"

"I have received it, but why did my father issue this imperial edict?" He stayed in Mount Li, and many things that happened in Chang'an City were unaware of.

"This is my idea."

"Why?" Li Wei asked in confusion. Not only Li Wei, but also Bier and Yao Yuanchong were puzzled.

"Your Highness, don't worry, let me tell you about Liang Jishou."

"Please," said Li Wei. He has a gentle personality and is not urgent when encountering things. Of course, people who dislike him say he is lukewarm and has no temperament, while people who like him think he is well-educated. Liu Rengui is the same. He smiled with praise and then said about the incident.

Liang Jishou marched very quickly, of course he himself didn't know that the court already knew his intention. It was indeed as he said, as he had said, and he had forced Ruduo and his senior officials to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. This surrender is gradually not very popular now, and Li Wei still admires his father very much. Unlike Zheng He who voyages to the West, even if he surrenders in East Africa, he would carry gold and silver from the ship as long as he surrenders. However, Liang Jishou's original intention did not take surrender as his ultimate goal, and he probably knew that this surrender was not as good as a waste.

His ultimate goal was to the treasure and the tomb of the Elephant, so the army marched very quickly and arrived at Zhuge Liang City shortly afterwards. This was also an important city in Nanzhao. Of course, after the founding of Nanzhao, the city of Xiangyangzhu, Dali, Zhedong (Kunming, Yunnan), Yongchang, Tieqiao, Anning, Hunan, Kunming (Yanyuan County, Sichuan), Yinsheng City and other cities were also very large in scale. They are not yet able to do so. Some cities only began to have some prototypes. However, Zhuge Liang City was formed very early and has always been very prosperous, and it was in an important transportation hub in Nanzhao.

Liang Jishou eventually failed, but it was not useless, and brought a lot of useful information, such as the Nanzhao roads. In addition to the transportation with the Tang Dynasty, there were also some roads, such as from Yinsheng City to Kunlun.

, and then go to Japa (now Java), Boni (now Kalimantan, Indonesia), and other places, either from Tuodong to Jinning, Tonghai, Longwu, Guyongbu to Jiaozhi, or from the ancient city of Yongchang County (Baoshan City) to Zhuge Liang City (Nujiangba, Longling County), then go south to Lecheng and enter the Piao Kingdom, west to Tianzhu, or from Zhuge Liang City to Tengchong, Micheng (northwest of Lianshan, Yunnan) to Lishui City to cross Lishui to Anxi City (Menggong, Myanmar), and then cross the Muli River (Mino River) to India.

Zhuge Liang City is at the fork in the third and fourth roads.

After some supplements, the army immediately continued to move south, not for treasure, and this way of marching was very unreasonable. He took the fourth road, heading straight to Anxi City. When he arrived here, he was already a child, among which the most embroidered faces were called Jinchiman. After the child was born, he embroidered his face with needles and painted them with green indians. When he grew up, he had bright patterns on his face. Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, it was probably impossible to see his original appearance. Then he went straight to Anxi City, not Anxi City set up by the Tang Dynasty in Liangzhou, a very small city. Not far from Anxi City, it was the Muli River. The Muli River was the small Brahmin Kingdom in the northwest of the Muli River, and the Great Brahmin Kingdom in the southwest. Of course, the border line was very unstandard at this time.

There is a mountain range not far from Muli River. The locals are Shengliao and the language is not clear. The translation says it is a mountain range in which the devil lives. It is pronounced the same as the mountains mentioned by Jimo. However, when we arrived in the Great Brahmin Kingdom, we passed this mountain range, and we only took the safer route. We dare not enter other areas of the mountain range.

When Li Wei heard this, he was a little confused. Because of the escape route, Li Wei carefully looked at the maps of the Tang Dynasty and surrounding countries. He dared not say all the terrain, but the approximate terrain was still very familiar. The three Jimo said differently. They said that they went south from Zhuge Liang City, passed through Wangmen and Mangbu Barbarians before reaching the mountain range. Obviously, Liang Jishou's marching route was not the same as that of Jimo.

But I'll understand it in a while.

The path of return that elephants take is different from that of humans. Its instinct protects the elephant tomb, so it does not go straight when walking. When Liang Jishou's army goes, the strength of the three Jimo and the three people is incomparable. Immediately, according to the analysis of Jimo and others, the local guide pointed out that it was this devil mountain range. Besides, the army could not go around in the mountains and forests in the south like these dozens of people, so they took the shortcut road. Although these roads are rugged, they are considered to be of type, and the army can barely march.

Moreover, the marching was very fast this time. When we arrived at Anxi City, it only took more than twenty days, and several small battles occurred during which time. However, there were not many soldiers, many people, sufficient preparations, and many guides. So we entered the devilish mountain range with confidence, which was scared by the locals.

Something tragic happened!

There is a road in this mountain, and countless people have found a safe road, but locals dare not enter other places, and outsiders are just under huge wealth and rewards, and there are many people who are fighting, and even the guides enter.

This entry was different from the path that Jimo and the other two entered, so they had to search again. Liang Jishou did not expect anything else, just a mountain range, which could be found. But within a few days, the treasure of the lost tribe was not found, and the elephant tomb was not found. More than 10,000 joint troops accompanied him, thousands of people died of the flowing miasma, leeches, poisonous snakes, and mosquitoes. This was not terrifying. One morning, he encountered a mirage. It was very realistic. Even the guide was confused, so the army got lost. After more than a month, he escaped. There were only 8,000 troops left for 16,000 troops.

Speaking of this, Liu Rengui sighed endlessly.

But looking at Li Wei's eyes, he was very impressed. During the meeting between the monarch and his ministers in August, the prince mentioned this matter, and it was indeed in the words. But he didn't know how the prince knew it.

However, Liang Jishou thought the court did not know about it, so he put the blame on the guide in his letter, saying that it was because the guide had mistakenly entered a vicious land, which led the army to the north while writing the letter.

Nearly 20,000 troops with strong morale were afraid of each unit, but after passing by, Liang Jishou used some thunder means to quickly suppress the army, and each unit was very dissatisfied. Seeing that the army fell here, they attacked one after another. But this was not fatal. Several big victories made a dangerous mountain range lose their armor, which does not mean that they are afraid of these barbarians, guides, and soldiers of various barbarians who are familiar with the local area. After several fierce battles, they still won, but I was defeated by the enemy.

Just when the Tang Dynasty army was about to return to Yaozhou and Xinuluo was about to return to Erhai Lake, bad news came. Meng Jian, who retreated to Yangbi River, led the remaining Mengqiuzhao, as well as Shiman and Shunman, who belonged to Tubo to the west of the Jinsha River, suddenly attacked Yaozhou City.

It tastes a bit like the taste of Lu Meng digging Guan Yu's old house Jingzhou City.

This was Liang Jishou's base camp. When they heard this news, the soldiers of Xinuluo and others were a little anxious. After cutting off the return of the Tang Dynasty army, Meng Jian obtained Yaozhou City again, which was bound to be more fierce than at the beginning. Although they had tied up the Tang Dynasty chariots, each division still had wives, children, and young people, which was dangerous at this moment. So they advised Liang Jishou to transfer the Tang Dynasty army to support him, and at the same time he led his hands to return to the tribes immediately. Not bad, he pointed a road and turned east to Kunzhou, which was later Zhedong City after Nanzhao.

Liang Jishou also arrived in Kunzhou City safely, but the remaining soldiers were less than three or four thousand, which was better than Xue Rengui's defeat, but the loss of Yaozhou City was the main one. He wrote a letter to apologize and asked for troops to rescue him. When this memorial came to Chang'an, it is conceivable that Li Zhi was furious when he heard this. He defeated Tubo the year before yesterday, but now because of Liang Jishou's mistake, he was defeated by the Nanzhao and other officials. After reading the memorial, he threw it on the ground.

"It's not just Shi Shun and other people," Li Wei said when Liu Rengui finished talking about the incident.

"That's right," Liu Rengui's eyes showed some praise. The reason why he recommended the prince to go to war was his wisdom. When Meng Jian attacked Yaozhou City last year, Shi Shun and other barbarians west of Jinsha River had already participated. After Liang Jishou arrived in Yaozhou, he defeated Meng Jian. Not only Meng Zhuang Zhi, but these participating emperors also suffered heavy losses. Liang Jishou was just blinded by money and was still not weak in the war. Otherwise, he would not have been in that harsh mountain for more than a month. After he was transferred out, he could still return north and win fiercely many times.

In fact, Li Wei's heart had to raise Liang Jishou a little higher. At this time, he lost his way in the Wild Man Mountain. There were more than 10,000 people, and he would eat and drink whatever he wanted. To put it bluntly, he couldn't even drink the river water casually. Maybe it was not done well. After drinking it for a few days, his stomach began to grow big Myanmar lees. This was a transition for more than a month. Not only that, the army was not only the army of the Tang Dynasty, but also soldiers of various tribes, which was also a kind of command ability. If it were Li Wei, it would not have been possible.
