Forced to start the game, summon a hundred thousand snow dragon riders

The first round of investigation mainly targeted the states and counties that Datang originally controlled.

Except for some obstacles at the beginning, later on, after the Yang family was exterminated, the world's aristocratic families became much more obedient, and basically no one dared to do anything.

In the second round of investigation, the focus must be on the newly conquered feudal towns.

There are also a lot of wealthy families in the Fanzhen area, and the taxes that can be recovered will only be more than the first round.

Moreover, with Dongchang's secret support, no aristocratic family dared to resist at all. The Minister of the Household Department did not think that this matter would be difficult.

However, the Minister of the Household Department did not know that Li Xiu had a deeper purpose in counting the world's land and population!

It is to lay the foundation for his next move.

But that's for later.

Now, the first thing Li Xiu has to do is to get rid of the foreign races around Datang who are staring at him like a tiger!

And this first one is Nanzhao who once got involved in the civil strife in Tang Dynasty!

Under Li Xiu's instruction, Admiral Zhao immediately walked out of the shift, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now the national treasury is full, the country is at peace, the calamity of the feudal towns has subsided, our Tang Dynasty is flourishing, and the tiger and wolf division is powerful all over the world."

"Nowadays there is a small country called Nanzhao, which ignores His Majesty's might and repeatedly offends our Tang Dynasty. I implore Your Majesty to send troops to destroy this country and pacify our land in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty!"

Chapter 59 The Panic Lord of Nanzhao

Hearing Admiral Zhao's words, for a moment, all civil and military officials in the court showed shock.

As far as Admiral Zhao is concerned, how could he come up with such a suggestion.

Undoubtedly, these words must have been ordered by His Majesty!

Your Majesty, are you planning to destroy Nanzhao?

Although they had been mentally prepared, when His Majesty really decided to send troops, they still couldn't help feeling excited!

Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Nanzhao Kingdom has been separated from one side and stands in the southern border of the Tang Dynasty.

Existed for hundreds of years.

Even at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao was not able to be wiped out.

Since the Anshi Rebellion and the decline of Datang's national power, Nanzhao no longer paid attention to Datang, and repeatedly invaded and plundered wantonly.

Now, in His Majesty's generation, it is finally time to use troops against Nanzhao Kingdom!

Moreover, now is indeed a good opportunity to destroy Nanzhao!

In the land of Bashu, Nanzhao's 40 soldiers were wiped out by Bai Qi. Now, what can they use to counter their Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, after Admiral Zhao proposed to conquer Nanzhao, there was not a single voice of opposition in the court.

The ministers have rarely reached an astonishing consensus!

"Precise play."

Facing all the civil and military officials who all supported the Nanzhao, Li Xiu just nodded slightly, and then said in a loud voice: "I will pass on my will, and order the Zhennan General Bai Qi to lead 20 tiger and leopard riders to conquer Nanzhao. Within a month , attacking Nanzhao, there must be no mistakes!"

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

……

The land of Bashu.

Chengdu.

The secret agent of Dongchang came to Chengdu in the starry night, came to Bai Qi, and delivered Li Xiu's imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, the decree has finally been made."

Bai Qi received the imperial decree, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He has been waiting here for a month.

After the destruction of Duan De's 40 troops, Nanzhao was so empty that it was already in his pocket.

But during this time, Bai Qi was not idle.

He personally went to Nanzhao to survey the terrain and routes. Within a month, he had a clear understanding of the land of Nanzhao.

The army under his command has already been deployed on the border of Nanzhao Kingdom.

As long as His Majesty makes an order, he can directly march!

"General Bai Qi, His Majesty limits you to conquer Nanzhao within one month."

The East Factory agent said in a deep voice.

"Why January."

Bai Qi was noncommittal, "Ten days is enough."

Hearing these words, many generals around changed their expressions.

Ten days?

In the land of Nanzhao, the mountains and rivers are treacherous and difficult to navigate. In ten days, marching alone may not be enough!

However, the coach Bai Qi is so sure, naturally no one dares to object.

After all, Bai Qi is now the god of war in the army of the Tang Dynasty, and even 40 Nanzhao troops were wiped out in the first battle, let alone the Nanzhao Kingdom that is now dying?

"Everyone will obey!"

Bai Qi said sharply.

"The end is here!"

All the generals came out together.

"Order the Minister of the Ministry of War to lead 20 Iron Eagle soldiers to march from the East Road to Huichuan as a feint attack."

"I will personally lead 20 tiger and leopard riders to march from the Dadu River, day and night, and drive directly to the capital of Nanzhao!"

Bai Qi's voice resounded throughout the hall.

"The last general takes orders!"

All the generals bowed in unison.

The sound boomed like thunder.

……

Nanzhao State.

Taihe City.

in the palace.

"Your Majesty, Bai Qi led 40 Tang troops to attack our Nanzhao. The troops were divided into two groups, and they have already invaded our Nanzhao territory!"

"The 20 sharp soldiers of the Tang Army on the East Road are attacking the important town of Huichuan in the east of our country. Our army has only [-] soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to resist the enemy!"

"Bai Qi personally led the iron cavalry, came from the Dadu River, and already destroyed nineteen cities in Nanzhao, and passed through the borders along the way. No one can be against him!"

"Continuing on like this, in less than five days, Bai Qi's 20 cavalry can reach Taihe City!"

The king of Nanzhao sat slumped on the throne, listening to the urgent reports from the generals, his face turned pale.

The 40 Nanzhao army was destroyed in Bashu.

It is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Nanzhao's national strength.

In Nanzhao now, the whole country can't gather enough [-] soldiers and horses.

Under the onslaught of Baiqi's two armies, they were defeated and could not resist at all.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were full of panic.

Bai Qi's name is simply the nightmare of their Nanzhao people. He was the one who slaughtered 40 Nanzhao troops before, and now, it is this person who wants to destroy them in Nanzhao!

Could it be that heaven sent this person to destroy them in Nanzhao?

The ruler of Nanzhao seems to have aged ten years, but as the ruler of a country, how could he be willing to be destroyed like this.

"My loves, Bai Qi's army is attacking, my Nanzhao ancestral temple and society are in danger, do all my loves have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

When the Nanzhao officials heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

You look at me, I look at you.

This is already a deadly situation, how can it be broken?

At this time, Duan Qingyun, the new general of Nanzhao, came out, bowed to the Nanzhao ruler, and said, "My lord, for the present plan, we can only ask Tubo for help, begging Tubo to send troops to rescue, attack the enemy's back, our Nanzhao Zhao Fang can have a chance!"

Duan Qingyun's proposal made Nanzhao King's eyes light up.

It seems to see hope.

"Water far away cannot quench thirst near you."

Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister of Nanzhao shook his head and said: "When Tubo sends troops to rescue, my Nanzhao may have already perished."

The hope in the eyes of the ruler of Nanzhao was instantly shattered.

"Then what is the prime minister's strategy?"

The ruler of Nanzhao placed his hope on the prime minister in front of him.

"I suggest that you immediately open the city and surrender, and welcome Bai Qi to enter the city."

The Prime Minister of Nanzhao said blankly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is soft and not hard. If the king chooses to surrender, there may be a glimmer of life. If he defends the city and resists, he may be beaten to death and the country will be destroyed."

"What did you say, Kaesong surrendered?"

The Nanzhao King's face suddenly became gloomy, "Is this your good idea?"

"My Nanzhao kingdom has been established for hundreds of years, how can I die at the hands of this king? The prime minister must have been bribed by the enemy general Bai Qi for making such slanderous words!"

"Come here, pull the prime minister out and kill him!"

Two palace guards rushed up and pulled Zhang Chang out.

The Nanzhao prime minister's face changed, "Your Majesty, what the old minister said is the only way out for me in Nanzhao! Please think twice, please think twice!"

"Drag it!"

The Nanzhao King's complexion became increasingly ugly.

Accompanied by a scream outside the hall, the Nanzhao officials fell silent.

Seeing the posture of the Nanzhao King, who would dare to mention the word surrender among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?

How can they raise their opinions when they can't fight and they are not allowed to surrender?

At this time, the Nanzhao imperial master who had not said a word came out, bowed his hands to the Nanzhao monarch, and said: "Master, I have heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very attractive, so it is better to adopt a policy of peace, not With one soldier Fei, one can retreat from the tiger and wolf divisions of the Tang Army."

"And relatives?"

The Emperor of Nanzhao looked slightly relaxed, but still frowned, "You mean, let this king present a princess to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty?"

"This calculation is quite reliable."

"The princesses of this king are all beautiful and unique. They will definitely fascinate that kid Li Xiu. Don't want it."

Chapter 60 Revocation of the title of Nanzhao, and the whole country surrendered to the Tang Dynasty

Hearing these words, the corners of the mouths of the officials in the palace could not help but twitch.

Lord, do you have any misunderstanding about the word "beautiful as a flower"?

What kind of monsters and ghosts do your daughters look like? Don't you have any b numbers in your heart?

Also, national teacher, what do you mean by mentioning marriage?

The Tang emperor is lustful, but he is not blind!

Just those few princesses of His Majesty, if they donated rashly, they might anger the Emperor of Tang Dynasty!

In the end, it will accelerate the demise of their Nanzhao Kingdom!

Sensing the incomprehensible gazes of the Nanzhao officials, the Nanzhao Imperial Master could only quickly explain, "Your Majesty, what I mean by this old man is not a real marriage, but a fake marriage."

"Fake marriage?"
