Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 408 Piao also wants a piece of the pie
"If it's really a spy from another country, when the time comes to get a reward, the young one must show respect to the two officials."

The man was afraid that they would believe him, so he promised benefits to the yamen.

"Hmph! That's pretty much it. You know what's going on. Let's go and have a look."

One of the servants snorted coldly and followed the man into the house.

Several people were talking, and the man on the bed kept listening to him. He wanted to run, but he couldn't even move a finger, so he could only lie there stiffly.

"My lord, this is the man."

The man pointed to the person on the bed.

The yacha stepped forward to take a closer look, and it turned out to be Nanzhao's military boots.

"Good boy, you've earned it."

Ya Cha laughed.

"Hey, thanks to the officials."

The man rubbed his hands and said happily.

Seeing the expression on the servant's face, he knew that this time the reward was paid.

"This man can't move even if he looks at it. You can borrow a cart and drag him back to the yamen."

A Yacha said.

The man happily agreed.Now this year's rations are finally settled.

Soon, the man was pushed into the county government prison.

"Tell me, you, a Nanzhao soldier, what is your intention to escape to our Pyu country?"

The county magistrate asked, and the day after the man was sent over, the county magistrate summoned him for questioning.

"me……"

The man opened his mouth with difficulty.

Yesterday I was given water and medicine. I don’t know what medicine it was. I just felt vaguely better and had some strength, but I still couldn’t move.

"I escaped."

The man panted heavily, seeing that the servant next to him was impatient, and the whip in his hand was about to drop.He dared not hide anything.

I don't want to get better, I just hope that the pain before death will not be so painful.

"Nanzhao deserter?"

The county magistrate was puzzled.

"Who is Nanzhao fighting with?"

The county magistrate looked sideways and asked the teacher standing beside him.

The master shook his head to express his ignorance.

"And... and the Zhang Zhung Kingdom."

The man said with difficulty.

"Nanzhao was defeated."

The county magistrate affirmed.

The man nods.Not only were they defeated in battle, when they fled, the army of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom was already approaching the capital.

"My lord, our country has not received any news about this matter. If this news is reported, it will be good for your official career."

The master spoke up.

"Master is right."

"Let's kill this person."

The county magistrate said, and led the master to the study.

After the two deliberated for a while, the above-mentioned memorial progressed layer by layer, and finally reached the hands of the emperor of Pyu.

"Is this credible?"

The emperor of Pyu looked at the memorial in his hand and asked the minister.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, before submitting the report, I have confirmed that Nanzhao is indeed at odds with the Zhang Zhung Kingdom."

"Besides, Nanzhao retreated steadily, and the destruction of the country is only a matter of time."

The minister will report the news he has learned.

"Oh? Such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a good time for our Piao country fishermen to reap the benefits."

The emperor of Piao country said.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Our country is safe and peaceful, and the national treasury is full. It is a good time to expand the territory."

"The minister reconsidered."

The ministers were all excited and wanted to get a bargain, so they all agreed.

"it is good!"

"Designate the general as the commander in chief, and the five lieutenants as the vanguard, ordering [-] troops."

"The mere Nanzhao is in danger. We took the opportunity to seize the land and strengthen our Pyu country."

"Leave in three days. When you return in triumph, the whole country will welcome you."

The emperor of Pyu country made a final decision.

Three days later, General Piao led one hundred thousand troops and marched towards Nanzhao.Marching to the border of Nanzhao, the general sent spies to explore the way forward.

"Report!"

"Nanzhao's frontier troops are sparse, and the city gates are tight with less than a hundred people patrolling. The defense is very lax."

The spies reported.

"Okay! Sure enough, God is helping our country. Erlangs! The goal is ahead!"

"Let's fight a beautiful victory, as an opening, to show Nanzhao some color!"

The General of the Piao Kingdom said.

"Kill! Kill!"

The Pyu soldiers were full of momentum, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded for ten miles.

Inside the mansion of Xiaocheng officials on the border of Nanzhao.

"My lord! My lord! Run! Run!"

The butler yelled all the way.

"What are you doing! So flustered!"

The official shouted angrily, almost not holding the cup firmly in his hand.

"My lord! It's not good! The guard at the city gate said that there are enemy troops coming, and there are a lot of them!"

The butler's voice trembled.

"what?"

The official was so frightened that he couldn't help but be shocked.

"The soldiers of King Shu of the Tang Dynasty came so quickly?"

The official said in horror.The town under his jurisdiction is very remote, and he thought it could last for a while.

"No! No!"

"It looks like a soldier from the Pyu Kingdom."

The butler quickly denied it, and said in tears.

"Piao country?!"

The official was shocked.There was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back. God is going to kill him!
"Yes! My lord, while there is still some time, let's pack up and run away, we can't stay in this place."

The butler said consolingly.But before he could finish his words, the sounds of fighting could be heard outside the door.

"what!"

Cries and shouts resounded through the sky.

The door of the study was kicked open abruptly, and a man in military uniform barged in with a knife in his hand.

"Hey, hide here."

The man smiled coldly.

"You! You! How dare you be so presumptuous."

The official was so frightened that his legs were weak and unable to move, he trembled.

"Joke, what are you waiting for?"

The man laughed and said sarcastically, he arrived in front of the two of them in a few steps, raised his knife and dropped it, and the butler was already decapitated.

The steward's blood was sprayed on the official, and a smell of urine suddenly came out.

"Grass."

The man glanced at the ground under the official's legs, it was damp, and couldn't help cursing.

"go!"

The sharp blade was pressed against the officer's neck, the man ordered.

The official had no choice but to move forward step by step and walked out of the study.

"General, this person should be an official in the city."

General Pyu also smelled the stench.take a step back.

"Why do you bring this kind of waste here? Kill it."

The General of the Piao Kingdom said in disdain.

The man responded and drew the knife directly.

The official could feel the pain of the sharp blade cutting his neck, his eyes were wide open, and he lost his breath.

"The grain and grass warehouse was robbed, and the battle was resolved quickly."

General Piao ordered.

Soon, there were no more Nanzhao people in the city, and all the people were killed.

All the financial supplies that could be robbed were taken away.

The Pyu army turned the city into a deserted city like locusts crossing the border.

It was easy to capture two cities in succession.

The news of the winning streak of the Piao army quickly spread back to the country.

"it is good!"

The Emperor of Piao Kingdom exclaimed loudly.

"Your Majesty, I feel that we should increase our troops at this moment, so that the general can directly reach the capital of Nanzhao."

"Reconsider, take this opportunity to take Nanzhao directly and let it belong to our country!"

All the ministers spoke up one after another.
