Taihe City, the capital of Nanzhao.

"Great Witch God, your devout believer is willing to exchange twenty years of life for two days, just two days, just give me two days. My Piluo Pavilion will exchange for a brand new future in Nanzhao..."

Nanzhao believed in the ghost religion and worshipped nature, and the witch god was their greatest and highest god.

Just as Pei Min and Xu Yuan expected, Piluoge contacted Tubo early and became a brotherly country with Tubo.

This time, the Tang army sent out 60,000 elite troops, while the Nanzhao's entire country's troops were only more than 10,000. Moreover, the Six Divines had just been unified, and the people of the Divines were unstable, and the strength of the two sides was completely unequal.

If you do not alliance with Tubo and do not have the help of Tubo, Nanzhao will not be an opponent at all.

In response to the great power of the Tang army and Tubo, Nanzhao specially formulated a plan to lure the enemy into depth.

But...they failed!

The overall plan was to completely disrupt the Tang Dynasty's army named Xianyu Zhongtong.

The most unpredictable thing about the art of war is his uncertainty.

Just like the military shape is like water in "The Art of War" said.

Many times, an unintentional move will win the final victory.

Xian Yu Zhongtong, a military officer in the Tang Dynasty, destroyed the strategy of Tubo and Nanzhao without thinking.

In order to compete for merit, Xian Yu Zhongtong led the vanguard troops of the Tang Dynasty and rushed in and directly rushed to the Taihe City of Cangshan and Erhai Lake in one breath.

This reckless and stupid way of playing unexpectedly achieved miraculous results.

Xianyu Zhongtong attacked the Tang Dynasty, caught Nanzhao and Tubo off guard.

According to general principles, the mission of the Pioneer Army is mainly to open the way.

Build bridges when encountering water and open roads without roads, clearing obstacles for subsequent troops and providing a safe and comfortable route for advance.

However, Xian Yu Zhongtong was abnormal and directly led the 15,000 Tang army vanguard and abandoned the subsequent large troops behind. His own army went deep into Cangshan and Erhai Lake.

This abnormal military use unexpectedly achieved results.

According to Nanzhao, Tubo's original plan was that they would find an opportunity to ambush the Tang army's logistics supplies and then annihilate the Tang army in one fell swoop.

However, Xian Yu Zhongtong led the Tang army directly to Cangshan and Erhai Lake, but the Tang army's logistics supplies did not enter the ambush circle.

This time, Tubo was completely stunned.

If they attacked Xianyu Zhongtong's vanguard army, they would certainly win, but they would also reveal their whereabouts.

Even if the Tang army completely consumed 15,000 yuan, the Tang army still had 35,000 yuan main force.

Tubo transferred 10,000 troops to support this time, and Nanzhao lured the enemy to defeat him all the way, with only 5,000 combat power.

The Tang army is like the advantage of military strength.

Nanzhao was a small country and had a weak force, but he could not stand the tug-of-war.

Defeating Xian Yu Zhongtong for some reason can only win one victory, but not win.

Only by defeating Zhang Qiu Jianqiong's large army can we win the victory.

But in this way, it is equivalent to letting Xianyu Zhongtong's vanguard army go beyond the vanguard army, and exposing Nanzhao's capital Taihe City to the sharp claws of Xianyu Zhongtong's vanguard army.

There are only less than a thousand soldiers in Taihe City at this moment.

Although Taihe City was built imitating the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City, it is completely incomparable to Chang'an.

At this moment, as long as Xianyu Zhongtong forcibly attacks Taihe City, it will take less than two hours for the capital of Nanzhao to fall.

This southern expedition, the Tang army was greatly successful.

************

Twenty miles west of Taihe City.

Xian Yu Zhongtong, who joined the army, looked at Taihe City in the distance. He never dreamed that things would go so smoothly.

There was almost no follow-up military service during this southern expedition. He alone defeated the Nanzhao's resistance army.

Because it went too smoothly, Xian Yu Zhongtong had the intention of taking great achievements. He marched in a hurry, left the rear troops behind, and committed suicide alone to Cangshan and Erhai Lake.

He wanted to let people know that during this southern expedition, he was the real planner, and Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, who led the army, was just a person watching the show in the rear.

He wanted to show his power in one battle like Wang Zhongsi, so that everyone could know Xianyu Zhongtong's name.

Faced with Xian Yu Zhongtong who was greedy for success and made great progress, Nanzhao and Tubo, who had all the mechanisms, let Xian Yu Zhongtong defeat him with his rich experience...

Wang Kezhao ran to Xianyu Zhongtong quickly and whispered: "Mr. Xianyu, I have heard about it. Taihe City is in chaos now. As long as my army is at the city, we will not be able to conquer the capital of Nanzhao in a long time."

Xian Yu Zhongtong and Wang Kezhao were birds of the same kind, and they did not do it perfunctorily to him.

During this southern expedition, Xianyu Zhongtong specially appointed Wang Kezhao as a captain in the vanguard army.

Wang Kezhao is a timid person, but his military level is still very good.

Especially in the battle of the wind, he was very good at charging and dispatching troops and generals. He marched along the way, which also allowed Wang Kezhao to make considerable military achievements.

Let Xianyu Zhongtong, who recommended him, also have a long face.

Wang Kezhao has gained some benefits and wants to gain the achievements of attacking Taihe City.

Xian Yu Zhongtong said with some slightest meaning: "We have achieved the greatest achievements in this battle. How can we not let the Jiedushi leave the gua soup for the Jiedushi? After all, the Jiedushi Zhang Qiu Jiedushi is as kind as a mountain to me and cannot be ungrateful."

Wang Kezhao immediately woke up and said hurriedly: "Mr. Xianyu is indeed very righteous. The young man will remember his great kindness and follow his horse's leader."

Xian Yu Zhongtong didn't say anything, but just squinted his eyes and looked at Taihe City, thinking: "The King of Nanzhao is better to be more tactful, otherwise don't blame you, Mr. Xianyu for being ruthless."

Xianyu Zhongtong did not have such good intentions? He simply wanted to let Nanzhao go.

It is better to raise a bandit than to gain eggs to raise an enemy.

Tubo is not easy to fight, but Nanzhao is easy to bully.

It is far better to let Nanzhao go freely than to let Nanzhao live a life path.

As long as you support him, you will not have to worry about not having any achievements in the future.

Therefore, Xianyu Zhongtong refused Nanzhao's request for peace from the beginning: when the Tang army decided to fight in the south and the soldiers were about to enter the southern border, the King of Nanzhao Piluoge sent a letter with a begging tone, which stated that "if the Tang army did not retreat, they would have to surrender to Tubo."

It was also this letter that made Xian Yu Zhongtong see the pessimistic heart of Nanzhao, completely ignored Piluoge's begging, and boldly chose to attack the night.

Sure enough, the battle was successful!

Xian Yu Zhongtong didn't know that he had destroyed Nanzhao and Tubo's plan without his heart, and he didn't know what he had missed.

...

In the end, Xian Yu Zhongtong naturally did not wait for Zhang Qiu Jianqiong.

Xian Yu Zhongtong waited foolishly for two days, wasting two days.

In Nanzhao and Tubo's original plan failed was successfully implemented.

With the help of Xianyu Zhongtong, Nanzhao and Tubo attacked Zhang Qiu Jianqiong's subsequent army.

Because of Xian Yu Zhongtong's urging, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong did not expect that there would be ambush from Nanzhao and Tubo where the Pioneer Army passed.

Thirty-five thousand Tang troops were killed and they were defeated.

Xian Yu Zhongtong, who received the news, ran away at night...

Sixty thousand troops to fight against the Tang army in the southern expedition, more than 40,000 were lost, and ten thousand were captured...

In Nanzhao, Tubo took the opportunity to attack Yunnan and plundered...

The good game that was almost certain to win was stinking.
