Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 405 Zhang Zhung is Swinging

When Li Ke entered the city of Yangjubaa, both the soldiers of Nanzhao and the people of Nanzhao knelt down and saluted.

"See Your Highness the King of Shu!"

The sound shook the world, Li Ke laughed and led the crowd into the palace of Yangjubaa City.

Su Dingfang is already very experienced in taking over the city.

He and Chu Feng cooperated with each other, and everything proceeded step by step.

And the original Nanzhao royal family was also panicked, thinking that there would be no escape from death

But Li Ke didn't deliberately make things difficult for them, and only confiscated the wealth they originally owned, so that they could be distributed to the people of Nanzhao in the future.

The Nanzhao Kingdom is destroyed!

The army of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom occupied part of Nanzhao's territory, and they originally wanted to continue to attack Nanzhao.

But just as he was about to act, he received news that the city of Yangjubaa had been broken.

King Xinuluo of Nanzhao Kingdom also died.

"General, we are ready and ready to go at any time."

The lieutenant general of the Xiangxiong Kingdom, who didn't know that the city of Yangjubaa had been breached, walked in and said loudly.

Now, the defeat of the Nanzhao Kingdom is like a mountain. If they don't take advantage of the victory and pursue it, they will miss the golden opportunity of the ages.

However, the leader of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom has not spoken for a long time.

"General?"

the man called out.

"Stay still and wait until I report to His Majesty before making a decision."

In Yangju City, various takeover matters have come to an end.

Chu Feng led some soldiers to wipe out the remaining forces in the surrounding cities, and these forces basically had no resistance.

Some even went to the city of Yangjubaa to express their surrender without waiting for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to arrive.

"Your Highness, the troops of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom are entrenched in the Ruanhua Mansion, and they have no intention of withdrawing their troops."

Su Dingfang handed over the received secret letter to Li Ke.

Naturally, the Zhang Zhung Kingdom also had ambitions, otherwise it would not have agreed to cooperate with Li Ke to attack Tubo.

But this time, they have gained the upper hand in their battle with Nanzhao Kingdom.

Now that the Nanzhao Kingdom is broken, the Zhang Zhung Kingdom is bound to want a piece of the pie and occupy part of the territory of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

"The Zhang Zhung Kingdom wants to seek skin from the tiger and get some benefits from this king."

"Hmph, they are quite courageous."

Li Ke smiled coldly, a stern light flashed in his eyes.

If the Zhang Zhung Kingdom didn't have self-knowledge, he wouldn't mind getting rid of it as well.

If the Zhang Zhung Kingdom is also captured, the trade routes leading to Persia and Europe will be completely in his hands.

Then, business will only get better!
"Your Highness, let me lead the troops to drive them out."

Su Dingfang suggested.

But Li Ke didn't agree, but said.

"There is no need to send troops, you go and call Muhammad Gilbuz."

Not long after, Muhammad Gilbuz came to see Li Ke.

He followed Li Ke's team all the way, and had already seen how powerful the Tang sergeant was, even if he didn't rely on those extraordinary weapons.

Based on their individual strength alone, the soldiers of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom are no match for them.

What's more, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty still have those equipment.

Moreover, he also had a vague feeling.

Perhaps the King of Shu's expedition this time brought only a small part of the equipment they had, and the strength behind it was simply unimaginable.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Muhammad Gilbuz saluted very sincerely and said.

"Now that the Nanzhao Kingdom is gone, the Zhang Zhung Kingdom will no longer be threatened by them."

"It's time for the special envoy to go back."

Li Ke said with a smile, but seeing the special envoy's eyes made him a little uneasy.

"Yes, my servant is planning to bid farewell to His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Li Ke nodded, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly.

This expedition took a lot of bows, arrow feathers, and even thunderbolts, and the sergeants were also partially damaged.

What's more, he is His Royal Highness King Shu of the Tang Dynasty, and he actually went to the battle in person.

These all require money.

"That's great, let's settle the accounts."

Li Ke said with a smile.

After finishing the words, Su Dingfang handed the envoy an account book regardless of the frozen eyes of the special envoy.

The special envoy is also a smart person. Seeing this situation, how can he not understand what is going on?

He looked at the account book with a wry smile on his face, thinking he would not accept it.

But due to the majesty of His Highness the King of Shu, he had to accept it.

"In that case, the servant will take his leave first."

The special envoy saluted again, clutching the account book in his hand that was heavier than a thousand catties, and left.

However, when the talent reached the door, he heard Li Ke's voice behind him again.

"By the way, you have a message for your Majesty."

"Within half a month, if the soldiers of Xiangxiong don't withdraw from Nanzhao, they will stay here forever."

"And Xiangxiong will be the same as Nanzhao."

Li Ke's voice was calm, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the special envoy's heart, making him stagger a little.

No further delay!

The special envoy set off to return to the Zhang Zhung Kingdom on the same day.

Inside the Zhang Zhung Kingdom.

His Majesty the King has already received the news that Zhang Zhung soldiers have invaded Nanzhao territory and occupied a large area west of Ruanhua Mansion.

"Your Majesty, since the Nanzhao Kingdom has been destroyed, we will continue to march eastward and completely take down the entire Nanzhao Kingdom."

Some officials suggested that the reason why they fought with Nanzhao was to compete for territory.

You can't just give up now, wouldn't that mean making wedding dresses for others in vain.

However, there are also ministers in the court who know that Datang cannot be provoked.

Although the king of Shu sent troops to rescue them at their request, it is reasonable for the king of Shu to withdraw his troops now that the crisis is over.

King Xiangxiong frowned and thought, he had been coveting the territory of Nanzhao.

If it wasn't for these, why would he conflict with Nanzhao.

Now, a small piece of meat has been gnawed, and it depends on whether it can be swallowed whole.

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. You should take advantage of the victory to pursue and bring the entire Nanzhao Kingdom into the territory of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom."

The courtier said eagerly.

Some people followed suit, and immediately, everyone in the hall was chattering.

King Shang Hung raised his hand to silence the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the special envoy is back."

The waiter outside quickly walked in to report.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked outside and saw the special envoy walking quickly.

However, there was no joy on his face, but rather solemn.

"See Your Majesty."

The special envoy saluted respectfully.

"You are back. You have made a contribution to the King of Shu this time. I will reward you."

King Shang Hung is still very calm and speaks very truthfully.

This Shangshung crisis is really thanks to the special envoy who invited the king of Shu to reinforce him in time.

Otherwise, Zhang Zhung would have been gone long ago.

The special envoy was not happy at all, he just saluted humbly, but took out the account book.

"Your Majesty, this is given to us by His Highness the King of Shu. Please take a look at it."

King Shang Hung took it and looked at it. He was very puzzled when he saw that the prices of the items were written on it.

"What is this? Is it the price of the new items released by the King of Shu?"

At this moment, the special envoy showed a wry smile. He also hoped that this booklet was the price list of items given by the king of Shu, not the total cost of consumables.
