307. I Am Willing to Go North to Chang'an and Apologize for My Crime (Please Order the Full Version)

"A close friend?"

"You are nothing but a demon who deceives people? Are you worthy of being compared with the envoy?"

Yizhou Sima Lin Tiannan looked at the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader with disdain and scolded.

"Baiyue, watch your words."

"You are now a prisoner!"

Someone else scolded.

"Your envoy also agreed with my point of view, isn't this a close friend?"

"How can ordinary mortals like you understand the world that this Sect Leader and your envoy see..."

The Moon Worshiping Sect Leader said disdainfully.

He is now certain that the Tang Army commander in front of him knows the "truth of heaven and earth" just like him, so he will not be as rude to him as these ordinary mortals, but will treat him as a guest in the hall like a close friend.

Even if he is not a guest in the hall, he will not be a prisoner.

"Nonsense!"

"You, a foreign demon, are you worthy of being compared with the envoy? The envoy is a scholar, and the envoy has long understood the truth you are talking about. The truth of heaven and earth that you regard is here with you, and you can get it by climbing the stairs!"

In the general's tent, everyone expressed disdain for the Moon Worshiper.

Since ancient times, all four directions have worshipped the Central Plains Dynasty. If you can get the top prize in the imperial examination where the talents of the Central Plains Dynasty gather, you must have amazing knowledge. The Moon Worshiper is just a priest of the Black Miao of Nanzhao. In terms of knowledge, knowledge, and status, how can he compare with Bai Gui, a top scholar who was born as a top scholar, a secretary, and a secretary.

As for the theory of the round earth, although they don't know much about it, since the envoy has already proved it, it must be reasonable.

But what about the Moon Worshiper?

It's just empty talk and conjecture.

How can it be as reliable as Bai Gui's argument based on common sense.

"The Moon Worshiper!"

"Some of the bewitching words you said just happened to be verified by the angels..."

"You still want to use this to communicate with the angels!"

"What a foolish dream!"

"You are such an evil demon, everyone can kill you!"

The witch queen Lin Qing'er, who had been silent all the time, spoke up, and her almond eyes showed contempt for the Moon Worshiper.

She could not forget the slanderous words about her that the Moon Worshiper spread in Nanzhao.

Now that this enemy has fallen to this point, she is also in a good mood.

The Moon Worshiper: "..."

Obviously, what he said was exactly the same as what Bai Gui said.

But the treatment was too different.

"Silence!"

"The envoy wants to speak!"

The leader of the guards, Tang Zhida, shouted softly.

The general's tent immediately became much quieter, and there were fewer verbal attacks on the Moon Worshiper.

"Master Baiyue, the chaos in Nanzhao this time was caused by you."

"Where did you hide the snake demon that caused chaos in the world? Tell me quickly. If you tell the truth... I may let you die easily."

Bai Gui asked.

The theory of the round earth proposed by Master Baiyue was correct, but the mistake was that he was a folk scientist and had no solid evidence to prove that the truth he said was correct, so he was distrusted by everyone. However, if it were him, even if he did not put forward arguments to prove the theory of the round earth, everyone would be half-believing and half-doubting. Because few people would think that their knowledge and insights would be higher than the top scholar.

In other words, Master Baiyue can only convince others of his point of view with power. But Bai Gui, a top scholar, will make most people willing to accept and choose to believe his point of view from the bottom of their hearts.

Different identities.

However, even if the theory of the round earth proposed by Master Baiyue exceeds many people in terms of insight, it has nothing to do with him.

Master Baiyue must die!

"Where is the snake demon?"

"Isn't the snake demon right in front of you?"

The Moon Worship Leader said angrily.

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head at this moment. He thought Bai Gui was his soulmate, like Boya and Ziqi, but he didn't expect that he was also a guy who lied with open eyes.

"The Witch Queen is a descendant of Nuwa. This official already knows about this."

"The foreign people are shallow-minded. They don't know that the descendants of Nuwa have human heads and snake bodies. It is understandable that they mistakenly think they are snake demons. But Nanzhao is not only the Witch Queen, but there should be another snake demon..."

Bai Gui said slowly.

The Witch Queen Qing'er has dealt with the Moon Worship Leader a lot in recent years and knows that the Moon Worship Leader secretly raises monsters. But as for what kind of monster it is, he doesn't know. He knows the plot, it should be a water monster.

So this kind of rhetoric is used to deliberately deceive the Moon Worship Leader.

All is fair in war.

"I didn't expect that this leader thought that his plan was meticulous, but the news still leaked."

"Now that I am a prisoner, there is no need to defend it."

The Moon Worship Leader sighed.

He thought that it was normal for the Tang army commander, who was far more "intelligent" and unfathomable than him, to guess the truth of the matter.

"I sacrifice my body..."

He was chanting a spell.

Clang!

The sound of swords being drawn rang out.

Jiang Ming, Lin Tiannan, Yin Ruozhuo, Mo Yixi and others, who had been alert and waiting for the Moon Worship Leader, directly beheaded him.

"Is it the breath of the water monster?"

"I didn't expect that the ancient monster, the water monster, was found by the Moon Worship Leader..."

The witch queen Lin Qing'er is the chief priest of the Bai Miao tribe and a descendant of Nuwa. She has lived in Miaojiang for a long time and knows the existence of the water monster. Just now, the Moon Worship Leader chanted a spell. Although he failed to successfully unseal the water monster, part of the seal was broken, and the breath of the water monster at the bottom of the lake leaked out.

"Since Bai Yue is dead..."

"Give the order to attack the city!"

Bai Gui thought for a moment and said to Lin Tiannan.

The lake where the water monsters are imprisoned is in Taihe City. If they enter Taihe City without permission, it will be troublesome for the army of the Witch King to besiege them.

Conquering Nanzhao is also one of the purposes of his leading the Tang army to the south.

We can't give up halfway!

Otherwise, even if he agrees to withdraw his troops, the generals and soldiers under his command will not agree to withdraw their troops.

"I will obey the order of the envoy!"

The two governors of East Sichuan and West Sichuan received the order and walked out of the general's tent to prepare to attack the capital of Nanzhao.

There was nothing surprising about this.

Although Bai Gui seemed to have deceived the King of Nanzhao several times, "War is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and destruction. It must be carefully observed." The only thing to blame is that the King of Nanzhao is stupid and does not understand the principle of war.

Now that 100,000 Tang troops are about to capture Taihe City, how can they give up all their previous efforts? !

There is no righteous war after the Spring and Autumn Period!

Queen Lin Qing'er wanted to speak to dissuade him, but after a slight hesitation, she stopped and did not step forward.

Although she was the queen of Nanzhao, if the commander of the Tang army had not respected her as a descendant of Nuwa, her fate would have been unknown. Since ancient times, the princesses and concubines of the royal family whose countries were destroyed had not had a good end.

Besides..., it was Nanzhao and the king of Nanzhao who had let her down.

"I also ask the angel to restrain the soldiers of the Tang army after the city was broken, and not to hurt the innocent people of Nanzhao..."

"This is a small request from my concubine, and I hope the angel can agree."

When Bai Gui was about to leave the general's tent and prepare to watch the battle, Lin Qing'er stepped forward and bowed.

"Nanzhao is a subordinate country of the Tang Dynasty..."

"I will restrain the soldiers and horses and not harm the lives of the people."

Bai Gui, wearing a bright armor, agreed without thinking.

The ancient army was not as disciplined as the later army, and could not obey orders. Therefore, after entering the capital of Nanzhao, killing, burning and looting were predictable, and he could only try his best to restrain the troops and horses so as not to make things too ugly.

In addition, since the troops were sent from Jiannan Road, many cities have been captured. He has punished many soldiers who violated military regulations, so even if there is such a phenomenon, it is still within a certain range of control.

"Thank you, angel."

The witch queen Lin Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect that the Tang army commander was so easy to talk to.

...

It took about three hours to attack the city.

Taihe City was broken.

Nanzhao Kingdom had suffered heavy casualties in the process of resisting the Tang army's southward advance. And this time, Nanzhao Kingdom offered the queen and princess, which had already made the generals guarding the city dissatisfied. What's more, Lin Qing'er was the high priest of the Bai Miao tribe. After doing this, when the Bai Miao generals guarding Taihe City saw that the witch queen was safe and sound beside the Tang army commander, they did not open the city gates and surrender immediately, but at least they did not have a strong desire to resist.

The key to the quick victory this time is that because of the encirclement and suppression of the Moon Worshiper, the Tang army did not launch an attack on the city for a day, which made the King of Nanzhao and the officials mistakenly believe that the Tang army was keeping its word and was ready to retreat, so they did not let the soldiers guarding the city to wait in full battle array.

Otherwise, even if the city-building technology of Nanzhao was far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, the capital must be strong. It would be almost impossible to really capture a capital with perfect defense in just one day.

At night.

Bai Gui entered the palace.

He sat on the second seat next to the throne.

He did not sit on the throne.

This is a taboo.

Just look at the end of Lan Yu. When he was chasing the enemy, he slept with the concubine of the Northern Yuan Emperor. Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish Lan Yu at that time, the emperor... would not be happy to hear such a thing.

Zhuge was cautious all his life.

"Envoy, the King of Nanzhao has been brought here."

The guard whispered in Bai Gui's ear.

"Yes."

"Bring him to see me!"

"You teased me three times. This crime is not easy to determine."

Bai Gui said.

If you want to conquer Nanzhao Kingdom and occupy it for a long time, you have to find a reasonable reason. Although the reason may be far-fetched, there must be at least one reason. You can't have nothing. If you have nothing, you will be the same as barbarians.

"Little King..."

"Little King greets the angel!"

The King of Nanzhao was pressed to the front of the hall by the Qianniu Guards. Seeing the general in Mingguang armor sitting on the second seat, he was terrified and bowed down.

"It is said that the ministers of the upper country do not bow to the monarch of the lower country."

"You are the monarch of the lower country..., so there is no need to show such a great gift."

After the King of Nanzhao bowed for a few breaths, he said slowly.

"Thank you, angel."

The King of Nanzhao thanked.

"I heard that there was a monster in Nanzhao, so I ordered troops to fight against the monster with good intentions, but Nanzhao repeatedly blocked me. As the king of Nanzhao, you repeatedly played tricks on me. I am an imperial envoy, an angel, representing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"You... you are a criminal who is deceiving the emperor. You are so bold!"

Bai Gui slapped the armrest and asked loudly.

In a country of etiquette, the most basic formalities must be followed. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing to bully a small country with a big country.

"My little king..."

"My little king wanted to welcome the imperial envoy in person, but he was deceived by the traitor. The queen was causing chaos in the palace, and the moon worship was bewitching people. My little king... My little king's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is evident to all!"

"I hope the angel can see clearly!"

The King of Nanzhao was sweating profusely and quickly shirked his "sins".

In his opinion, now that his country was destroyed and his family was ruined, if he tried to please this angel, he might be able to save his life and then be sent to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to enjoy a good life. Although he would be the king of a fallen country, his life would still be better than that of ordinary people and he could become a wealthy man.

After being captured by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, Jie Li Khan danced with him at the banquet and had a good time.

"So... you don't want to plead guilty?"

Bai Gui frowned.

"Please tell me the truth, angel?"

The King of Nanzhao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

He felt that his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was enough.

"This time you were deceived by Baiyue and Baiguan, so you hindered our Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers, and even intended to unite with Tubo to invade our Tang Dynasty's border in the north."

"Fortunately, I knew about the precautions and took the lead to conquer the capital of Nanzhao..."

"During this period, the virtuous queen Lin Qing'er repeatedly advised you to die, saying that the Tang Dynasty's majesty should not be offended, but you were indifferent. When I was approaching Taihe City, the virtuous queen Lin Qing'er took the initiative to ask Nanzhao to surrender, but you were still a mantis..."

"If the King of Nanzhao is willing to admit these charges, he can go to Chang'an to enjoy wealth forever, but if he disagrees..."

Bai Gui looked down at the King of Nanzhao and said lightly.

"The virtuous queen..."

The King of Nanzhao seemed to have expected something, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Your servant...I am willing to follow the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and go north to Chang'an to apologize."

"I only ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to forgive my sins."

After he finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Angel, representing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

So his words are very appropriate.

Speaking of the little king, it means that it is still a foreign country, but speaking of the minister and the emperor, it means that all the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. There can be multiple kings or emperors, but there can only be one emperor.

For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, each country had a king, but there was only one emperor, the Zhou emperor.
