19. Wu Ren helps the coffin to return
After expressing his loyalty, Yi Mouxun began to take action in order to please the two governors: as long as the Tang army can assist me in Nanzhao to capture Huichuan, Shenchuan and Jianchuan, I would like to pay 400,000 yuan of "supporting military money" and give it to Dingwu, Fengyi, Yining, and Dongchuan army with 30,000 hu 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 "flatify the barriers of the Western Fan River and chase them out of Yunling" in the Zhuzhou Prefecture. Now Yi Mouxun's strategic goal coincides with them, so he immediately agreed.
Then, the vehicles sent to the Tang army camp in Nanzhao camp were endlessly flowing.
Even Gao Yue was amazed that Nanzhao had not yet fully unified Yunnan and was so rich.
Later, I thought about it. Yunnan’s land was fertile, including the fish, rice, salt and iron in Erhai Lake, Dianchi Lake, and rich in gold, silver and copper. It is indeed a treasure land for cutting, but no, if it is used to support the army, it is the most suitable area.
He also knew that Yi Mouxun believed that Nanzhao would benefit the most from expelling the Western Fan forces. Its northwest border gates could gain peace and immediately expand its power to the south, especially in the southeast, because it was Jiaozhi and could obtain trade outlets. In this era, the profits of sea trade were quite considerable.
"Jiaozhi is the location of the Annan Protectorate of Tang Dynasty. That is to say, Nanzhao may sooner or later have a conflict of interest with Tang Dynasty, and it will turn against each other." Gao Yue thought, but thinking that was also a matter of later, just be prepared. Now, peaceful exchanges with Nanzhao and joint dealing with Xifan are the main theme!
After a while, a woman's noise suddenly came from outside the tent, saying all the words Gao Yue didn't understand. Gao Yue was unhappy, so he asked Wei Tuotian to go out to see what was going on.
It didn't seem to be a big deal. With a loud bang, a large group of Nanzhao women wearing heavy makeup and exaggerated clothes rushed to the tent, and the soldiers couldn't stop them.
Gao Yue was shocked and asked why this was?
Several translators were sweating profusely and explained to him that these women were all seeking out their battles with Yi Mou, and their brothers, fathers or other relatives were in the opposite camp.
"Where is their husband? Take these back quickly." Gao Yue asked hurriedly.
The general translation looked at each other and then said that the only thing they lacked was their husband.
Because these women are widows, Nanzhao custom is that if a woman is ungrateful before marriage, she will be sentenced to death immediately. However, once she is a widow, the country and the family will not only encourage remarriage, but also can't help but be romantic in private, even if she is pregnant, she will not be ashamed of her family. The family will treat her as her own.
Now, the widow actually moved to the military camp to fight, which is also a strange story in the world.
Zheng Zhi was suffering deeply during this period of time. Every night, the widows of the army came to harass him. Now that Taideng City is captured and the army is victorious, they are even more excited and want to work together to press Zheng Zhi on the camp, vent their "beast desires", and swallow this little lamb from Tang Tu to eat alive.
In desperation, Zheng Xu became wise in a hurry and told them that I, Tang Xingyuan, Yin Gaoyue, was ten times more literary than me. At this moment, I was in the Dingwu Army camp opposite, and I could find him.
These women rushed into the tent of Xingyuanyin. The soldiers were shocked to see that they were women. Who dared to stop them?
Gao Yue was so scared that he was embarrassed and took the tent back and gave it to Yun Shao. Yun and his sister's Shanghao Shu Jin were thrown all over the ground. Taking advantage of the robbery of these widows, under the protection of Wei Tuotian and several personal soldiers, he climbed over the wall and came to Gao Gu's tent before he got safe.
After sleeping in a daze until the morning, Wei Tuotian came to report again:
"Over the other side of Saigon Chuan, Shang Jiezan's second son came to ask for your master."
Soon, Wu Ren, who was soaked in the water, knelt in front of Gao Yue. He had only one purpose for coming alone, and retrieved his brother's body.
Gao Yue did not say anything, but got up and took out a wooden slip from the bookshelf behind him. It was stained with blood from Qizang's palace, but the engraved words were still clear. "The two countries fought with each other, and the commander was killed or injured. Qizang's palace guarding the taiwan to the last moment was considered an admirable warrior. But he died because he was not worthy of his death. Zanpu, who repeatedly destroyed the alliance and repeatedly stole the border, died. But at least I had fought with the father and son of the Nam family, which was a bit of a personal friendship. I can return the body of Qizang's palace to you."
Hearing this, Wu Ren had no room for refutation, and could only cry and kowtow to praise Gao Yue's kindness and kindness.
After discussing with Wei Gao, when the sun had not yet risen above the mountains in the city of Zhuozhou, Wu Ren and the servants of the Nan family, more than a hundred people, wore the grandest clothes, carried the bodies of begging for cover, and cried while walking, and their crying sounded desolate and resounded at the source of Saigong River.
Gao Yue, Wei Gao, and several generals of the army stood on Tusong Mountain and watched this scene quietly.
On the riverside, there were thousands of Nao family members and servants knelt there, among which Soma also arrived. He stood upright by the cart carrying the coffin, looking at the young master's body slowly leaning over.
After meeting the two sides, Wu Ren turned around and knelt on the side of his elder brother's body, cried and shouted, and asked a question.
The general translation said to Gao Yue, Wei Gao, and Zheng Zhi: "Is it painful to have a wound?"
Soma, standing, became the spokesperson for the deceased to hide and hide, and also replied loudly in a foreign language, "It hurts."
So everyone cried, took out a plaster, and applied it to the corpse that was begging for cover.
Then Wu Ren shouted again: "Do you eat?"
Soma raised her neck and shouted, "Food."
Everyone cried again and placed the food container beside the body begging to hide.
"Is it cold?"
"cold."
Everyone carefully covered the fur clothes on the corpse that was begging for hiding.
"Home?"
"Go back." After Soma finished crying, she burst into tears.
Wu Ren and everyone also cried continuously, and they moved the body that was begging for cover to the cart.
Then Wu Ren and Soma turned around, knelt down in the direction of the mountain where Gao Yue stood, and knocked three times in a row, then surrounded the hearse and headed to the other side of Sai Kung River.
"If you don't go in and out, you won't go back, and the plain suddenly has a long road." Gao Yue understood at this time that this was a ritual of the Western Bon religion to commemorate the dead, but he still couldn't help but recite this sentence from Qu Yuan's "National Mourning".
Afterwards, Gao Yue and Wei Gao selected elite soldiers and first assisted Nanzhao Yi Mouxun to return and conquered Huichuan City. Xifan's army in the city, Lun Qiran surrendered and became Yi Mouxun's prisoner.
Then, with the cooperation of the Tang soldiers, Yi Mouxun's Nanzhao troops swept across the entire Shenchuan, and won five battles and five victories. The troops headed straight to the pass "Iron Bridge" deep into the plateau, eliminating more than 10,000 "Sanzhao Langren" who were attached to Xifan, and captured the five Sanzhao Tuwang who were enthroned by Xifan. The leader of Sanzhao Lilushi and Shenchuan governor Xinuolu could only escape into the barriers of the iron bridge and defended themselves.
When the Tang army returned to the army, they took down the long-drawn Kunming City. The seven hundred garrisoned soldiers inside did not see any hope of reinforcements under the persuasion of Ma Dingde (Prince Mouru's 10,000 forbidden soldiers had long retreated to the plateau), so they also opened the city to surrender.
