Wang Jian is not living comfortably these days.
Although the Nanzhao army was blocked outside the city of Chengdu, and the other party tried to infiltrate everywhere, and the troops who burned, killed and looted were nailed to each small town and could not move, but in terms of the general trend of the war, it is still not a matter of a day to win .
Compared with the princes who competed in the Central Plains at the beginning, Wang Jian's military strategy is not outstanding, even worse than that of Li Maozhen. Otherwise, the 500,000 army would not have been defeated overnight in Dengzhou. This is also the root cause of Wang Jian's defeat in Nanzhao.
But no matter how poor his attainments in the battlefield are, it is still compared to the few outstanding people in the Central Plains. Putting aside the initial defeat because he underestimated the enemy, he is far from being comparable to those barbarian generals in Nanzhao. It is not difficult to stabilize the situation. .
What is commendable about Wang Jian is that his talents are relatively comprehensive, he can handle political affairs and strategies, and his temperament is stable and tenacious.
In these aspects, King Qi is not as good as him.
Therefore, although Wang Jian's army is not many and not strong, it is not difficult to block the Nanzhao army. Especially after receiving the help of Shushan Jianmen, the Khitan monks in the Nanzhao army no longer had the possibility to show off their power, and he made up for the last shortcoming.
Logically speaking, he should be in a good mood.
However, the attitude of King Nanzhao was too arrogant. He sent a letter almost every day, brazenly persuading Wang Jian to surrender.
Every time, these letters will be copied into many copies, and many big monks will shoot them into the city from different places, making it impossible to guard against.
At first Wang Jian didn't care about it, but after a long time, he gradually couldn't bear it anymore.
Wang Jian was still a vassal of Shu, and when he was not recruited by the court, King Nanzhao took advantage of his failure to send troops to the Central Plains and sent troops to attack Shu. At that time, it was also a bitter and bloody battle. Although Wang Jian repelled the opponent in the end, many people were plundered and countless wealth was lost.
The Nanzhao king escaped into the steamer gorge on Wuchidao, and when he left the land of Shu, he immediately rode on a high slope, laughed and told Wang Jian not to send him off, he would come to visit again, and told Wang Jian to prepare money earlier next time. Wang Jian was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Not long after, the King of Nanzhao came again, and this time he even attacked the city of Chengdu. This was Wang Jian's great shame and humiliation. Now being ridiculed for days and days again, how can this be a scene that a dignified person can endure
"This bastard is too deceitful! A Nanman is so arrogant. I really think that I, Wang Jian, are afraid of him and dare not go out of the city to fight?!" Wang Jian slapped the letter paper in his hand on the desk again, and jumped up with an angry face. Under the unexpected eyes of the generals, they flew directly to the top of the city.
Outside the city is the Nanzhao army, well-organized and ready to go, looking at it at a glance, it is like seeing a vast ocean.
In comparison, Chengdu City is still not big enough.
At first, the Nanzhao army had attacked Chengdu City, and after being beaten to death, they obediently stopped such meaningless behavior, just yelling and cursing every day, trying to lure the Tang army out of the city to fight.
Wang Jian knew very well that his troops were not many and his combat power was not strong, so it was not difficult to rely on the city defenses of Chengdu to resist the Nanzhao army. But if you go out to fight in the city, you are giving the opponent a chance, and the possibility of losing is very high. And once defeated, Chengdu is hard to protect.
Wang Jian is still stable, and he has been stable for a long time.
until today.
"Hey, isn't this Wang Xiaoer? I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have become so fat and ugly? You have been a turtle for a long time, and you are going to become a turtle yourself? Haha..." Nan When King Zhao saw Wang Jian appearing, his eyes lit up, and he flew up into the air, pointing at the other's nose and mocking him.
Wang Jian was so angry, "You barbarian, don't be too deceitful, who can't speak loudly, if you really have the ability, you will fight this king for life and death!"
"Fight alone with you? Haha, Wang Xiaoer, you have become so stupid that you can say the words of such a three-year-old child! The two armies are at war, but you want to fight me one-on-one. I'm afraid you haven't woken up. ? Wang Xiaoer, you must be courageous. If your soldiers are courageous, don’t hide in the city and come out to fight me head-on!”
The King of Nanzhao looked proud and looked downcastly.
He continued: "Didn't the people of the Tang Dynasty boast of being strong? Why don't they even have the courage to fight now? Are they all turned into tortoises? Wang Xiaoer, tell you, if you don't dare to fight, tomorrow I will fight against you!" Zheng, go to Dongchuan to kill people and seize wealth, and take all the parents, wives and children of the soldiers in your army as slaves!"
Not only Wang Jian, but also the officers and men of the Tang army at the head of the city changed their expressions.
"King of Shu, this guy is arrogant and humiliating too much. The last general asks to fight! Even before the death of the city, the last general will kill the arrogance of this group of barbarians, so that he will not underestimate the bravery of my Tang Dynasty!" !” A commander clasped his fists with red faces.
Wang Jian was about to agree, but before he could speak, a civil official beside him hurriedly persuaded him, "King of Shu, calm down, our army must not fight, or we will perish ourselves! Only by winning the war can we preserve the center of Shu!"
Wang Jian looked at the other party with an uncertain expression. It was the consolation envoy sent by the imperial court to assist him in the battle, and he also had the responsibility of supervising the army.
The generals were already filled with resentment, half of them were Wang Jian's old troops, they didn't care about the words of the civil servants, and they all stepped forward to fight. Just by looking at their scarlet eyes, one can tell that these people have made up their minds to die in order to preserve their dignity as powerful generals.
Wang Jian closed his eyes in pain.
After a while, he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and said in grief and indignation: "Forget it, let's bear with him for a while, when the war in the northern border is over, we will always have a chance to counterattack..."
"Wang Xiaoer, don't you dare to fight? If you don't dare, just crawl twice like a turtle and send some beauties out to serve my warriors. Otherwise, I will go to the east!" Nanzhao King began to shout again.
At this moment, a big monk came from the north.
They were divided into two groups, one group arrived at the top of Chengdu City, there were dozens of people, and the other group arrived at Nanzhao Camp, only a few people.
The leader of the previous group was Song Jiao, the head of the Tsing Yi Yamen.
The leader of the latter group was Yeludi Lugu!
Seeing Song Jiao coming, bringing with her dozens of Daoist Realm monks, Wang Jian was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and then his spirits lifted. He had faintly realized something, and his excited fingers kept moving.
Song Jiao handed Wang Jian a military order and said to them, "King An's military order: counterattack Nanzhao, slaughter its army, punish its king, and destroy its country!"
Wang Jian and all the generals were overjoyed and quickly saluted to accept the order.
With dozens of big monks brought by Song Jiao, they already have the power to counterattack.
It's just that the number of the army is not large after all, and it is still somewhat difficult to fully defeat the Nanzhao army with the help of Khitan monks.
Song Jiao snorted coldly: "The Khitan kingdom is destroyed, and the Khitan monks in the Nanzhao army will leave immediately!"
Before the words fell, dozens of black-robed monks had already flown up from the Nanzhao camp.
Under the leadership of Yeludi Lugu, they bypassed Chengdu City and headed north. On their way, there are Tsing Yi yamen monks waiting to arrange their whereabouts.
The king of Nanzhao was stunned, his mouth was so wide that he could stuff a fist into it.
When Yeludi Lu Gu came, he thought that the other party was here to support him. This made him extremely excited, thinking to himself, could it be that the Khitan had already defeated the Tang army in the northern border? Otherwise, how could Yelv Dilugu come? That would be great, it was his dream situation.
Unexpectedly, when he approached to talk, Yeludi Lugu ignored him at all, directly summoned the Khitan monks in the army, and led them away. Before leaving, Yeludi Lugu's words made Nanzhao king feel like falling into an ice cave.

"The army was defeated, the king is dead, Khitan has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty now. King Nanzhao, if you still want to leave a whole body for yourself, you should kill yourself immediately!"
Yeludi Lugu's words made sense, and he disappeared from the King of Nanzhao's field of vision without giving him a chance to inquire.
The Nanzhao army was able to attack the land of Shu, relying on nothing more than two points. One is the ambush in Nanzhao, which caused Wang Jian to suffer a lot; the other is the help of Khitan monks. Without them, it is impossible for the Nanzhao king to be so arrogant.
The change happened so fast that people were caught off guard, and there was no room for King Nanzhao to react. Just now he was looking forward to Zixiong, but in an instant he was terrified.
Before he was dumbfounded and issued the military order, he heard Wang Jian's joyful laughter, "King Nanzhao, show me another arrogant one? Today is your death date, so give me the head!"
The King of Nanzhao turned his head in astonishment, and the hairs all over his body stood on end in an instant. I saw Wang Jian leading a large number of big monks, pressing over like a cloud. Wang Jian, who took the lead, poked out the spear in his hand, and suddenly a storm surged in the air, and the spiritual wind enveloped him like a hurricane!
"Wait a minute, king of Shu! If you have something to say, say it well, I will retreat, but I will not be able to retreat..." The king of Nanzhao lost his soul, and quickly retreated to dodge.
He didn't have the confidence to defeat Wang Jian, otherwise he wouldn't have rejected the opponent's request for a duel. The reason why he dared to mock Wang Jian before was because of the protection of Khitan monks. Now that the Khitan monks are gone, he was immediately beaten back to his original form, how could he not be frightened and panicked
"Kneel down and beg for mercy!" Wang Jianjie laughed sinisterly, his face glowing red with revenge.
Behind him, the city gate of Chengdu has been opened, and the armored torrent surged out. The soldiers who had been suffocating their anger for a long time uttered earth-shattering shouts of killing, and rushed towards the Nanzhao camp like a wave.
Seeing that the defeat was decided, the King of Nanzhao dodged Wang Jian's attack while crying, "King Shu, I was wrong, I shouldn't offend you, I shouldn't offend Datang, please let me live! I promise! , Nanzhao will never send troops to the north again, I will surrender to the Tang Dynasty... "
Wang Jian laughed loudly, even more complacent, but the murderous look in his eyes did not diminish by half, "I only thought of begging for mercy now, it's too late! If you act rashly, you will die!"
Wang Jian yelled, and the spear shot out with lightning. Nanzhao King finally couldn't dodge it and was pierced through his chest.
"Forgive...forgive me, I am willing to cede the land and make peace, and be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty..." King Nanzhao's mouth was filled with blood, his eyes gradually became slack, and when he fell from mid-air, he could not speak. Clear, but still hoping to survive.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to survive, Wang Jian shot out with another spear, and his body was shattered into powder before it hit the ground.
On that day, the Chengdu defenders came out in full force and defeated the Nanzhao army. The corpses of Nanzhao soldiers were scattered all over the field, and the howling and crying were heard hundreds of miles away.
