19. Wu Ren returned to the coffin
After showing his loyalty, in order to please the two Jiedu envoys, Yi Mu Xun began to move seriously: as long as the Tang army can assist my Nanzhao to seize the land of Huichuan, Shenchuan, and Jianchuan, I am willing to give 400,000 yuan of "money to help the army", and give Dingwu, Fengyi, Yining, and Dongchuan 30,000 pieces of salt, 800 war horses, 2,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 taels of gold.
Wei Gao and Gao Yue's original goal was to "raze the barriers of Xifan and drive them out of the Yunling Mountains" in Shanzhou, but now the strategic goal of Yimu Xun coincided with them, and they immediately agreed.
Subsequently, the vehicles in the Nanzhao camp that sent money, colored silk, salt, gold and silver to the Tang army camp were endless.
Even Gao Yue was amazed, this Nanzhao has not completely unified Yunnan yet, and it is so rich.
Later, I thought about it, Yunnan has fertile land, there are fish, rice, salt and iron from Erhai Lake and Dianchi Lake, and it is also rich in gold, silver and copper, etc., it is indeed a treasure land, used to cut, no, if it is used to support the army, it is the most suitable area.
He also knew that Yi Mu Xun believed that Nanzhao would benefit the most from expelling the Western Tibetan forces, and that the northwest border gateway could be peaceful, and that he would immediately be able to expand his influence to the south, especially the southeast, because it was Jiaozhi, and he could obtain trade outlets to the seaβin this era, the profits of maritime trade were considerable.
"Jiaozhi is the location of my Tang Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, which means that Nanzhao may sooner or later have a conflict of interest around the port of Annan and turn his face against my Tang." Gao Yue thought about it, but thinking about it, it was also a later matter, just take precautions, now with Nanzhao, peaceful exchanges, and jointly dealing with Xifan is the main theme!
After a while, a woman's noise suddenly came from outside the tent, and all she said was words that Gao Yue didn't understand, and Gao Yue was displeased, so he asked Wei Daotian to go out to see what was going on.
This didn't matter, and in the midst of a bang, a large group of Nanzhao women wearing heavy makeup and exaggerated costumes rushed to the tent, and the tooth soldiers couldn't stop it.
Gao Yue was shocked and hurriedly asked why?
Several interpreters, sweating profusely, explained to him that the group were women who had gone on a campaign with the strangers, and that their brothers, fathers, or other relatives were in the camp opposite.
"What about their husbands? Hurry up and get these back. Gao Yue hurriedly asked.
The interpreters looked at each other, and then said that the only thing they lacked was their husbands.
Because these women are all widows, the custom of Nanzhao is that if a woman is reluctant before marriage, she will be sentenced to death immediately, but once she is widowed, the country or the family not only encourages remarriage, but also does not help them to have a private affair, even if they are pregnant, they are not ashamed, and the family treats them as their own.
No, the widow actually moved with the barracks to go on the expedition, which is also a miracle in the world.
Zheng Qi has been suffering greatly during this period of time-every night, there are widows with the army to harass, and now that the city of Taideng has been captured and the army has won, they are even more excited, and they can't wait to work together to press Zheng Qi on the camp tent, vent the "beast desire", and eat this little sheep from Tang Tu alive.
In a hurry, Zheng Qi was in a hurry, and said to them that I Tang Xingyuan Yin Gaoyue is ten times more literary and elegant than me, and I am in the Dingwu army camp opposite at this moment, but I can go to him.
These women rushed to the tent of Xingyuan Yin, and the tooth soldiers were stunned when they saw that it was a group of women, which one dared to stop it?
Frightened, Gao Yue was embarrassed, and threw the good Shu brocade in the tent that was originally going to be brought back to Yun Shao, Yun and his sisters all over the ground, and took advantage of the robbery of this group of widows, under the protection of Wei Daotian and several personal soldiers, he climbed over the wall and came to Gao Gu's tent to settle safely.
When he slept in a daze until the dawn, Wei Daotian came to report again:
"Across the Saigon River, Shang Jiezan's second son has come to see you, the master."
Soon, Wu Ren, who was soaked from wading, knelt down in front of Gao Yue, and he came alone with only one purpose, to retrieve his brother's body.
Gao Yue didn't make a sound, but got up and took out a piece of wooden tablet from the bookshelf behind him, which was soaked with the blood that flew out of the beggar and covered it, but the handwriting was still clear, "The two countries are fighting, the commander will inevitably be killed and injured, and he will be regarded as an admirable warrior who guards the platform and ascends the city until the last moment, but he is not worth dying, and he died for a Zampu who repeatedly broke the alliance and repeatedly stole the border, but fortunately, I have fought with the father and son of the Na Xi family, and it is also a bit of personal friendship, and I can return the body of the beggar to you." β
Hearing this, Wu Ren had no room for refutation, so he could only kowtow with tears and praise Gao Yue's kindness and kindness.
After consulting with Wei Gao, when the sun had not yet risen on the top of the mountains of Shanzhou, Wu Ren and the servants of the Na Xi family, more than 100 people, dressed in the grandest costumes, used a calf cart from the Tang camp to carry the corpse of the beggar and conceal, and wept as they walked, and the cry was desolate and resounding through the source of the Saigon River.
Gao Yue and Wei Gao, as well as the generals of several armies, stood on the bald pine mountain, quietly watching this scene.
On the riverside, there were thousands of family members and servants of the Na Yu clan kneeling there, among which Soma also came, standing upright beside the cart carrying the coffin, watching the young master's body slowly leaning over.
After the two sides met, Wu Ren turned around and knelt beside the eldest brother's corpse, crying and shouting, and asked a question.
The interpreter said to Gao Yue, Wei Gao, and Zheng Qi: "The trauma hurts? β
Soma, who was standing, became the spokesperson for the deceased's begging and concealment, and also replied loudly in Mandarin, "Pain." β
So they wept and took out the plaster, and applied it to the corpse that was being hidden.
Then Wu Ren shouted again: "Food? β
Soma craned her neck and shouted, "Eat." β
Then they wept again, and set the vessels of food beside the beggar to hide the body.
"Cold?"
"Cold."
So they carefully covered the corpse that was hiding it.
"Return?"
"Return." When Soma finished shouting, she began to weep aloud.
Wu Ren and everyone else also cried incessantly, and they carried the begging corpse to the cart.
Then Wu Ren and Soma turned around, knelt down in the direction of the mountain where Gao Yue stood, and bowed three times in succession, and then they gathered around the locomotive and headed to the other side of the Saigon River.
"You can't get in and out, and you can't go back, and the plains are so far away." Gao Yue understood at this time that this was a ritual of the Western Bon religion to commemorate the war dead, but he still couldn't help reciting this sentence in Qu Yuan's "National Martyrdom".
Subsequently, Gao Yue and Wei Gao selected elite soldiers and strong generals, first assisted Nanzhao Yimu Xun to turn back, captured Huichuan City, and Xifan's military envoy in the city surrendered and became a prisoner of Yimu Xun.
Subsequently, the soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao of Yimu Xun, with the cooperation of the Tang soldiers, swept through the entire Shenchuan, five battles and five victories, and the soldiers reached the pass "Iron Bridge" of Yunling and deep into the plateau, eliminating more than 10,000 "Three Zhao Ronin" who were attached to Xifan, and capturing the five people of the Three Zhao Tuwang who accepted the canonization of Xifan, and the leaders of the Three Zhaos, Liluo Shi and Shenchuan Dudu, could only flee into the barrier of the Iron Bridge and defend themselves.
When the Tang army returned to the division, it took the long-trapped Kunming City by the way: the 700 garrisoned soldiers inside, under the persuasion of Ma Dingde, could not see the hope of reinforcements (the 10,000 forbidden soldiers of Prince Mu Ru had long since returned to the plateau), so they also opened the city and surrendered.
