Nanzhao's Hegemony: Cangshan Is King

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Erhai and Liuzhao separatist regimes were fighting, and Cangshan Mountain blocked the flames of troubled times. The Tang Dynasty dominated the Central Plains, overlooking the barbarians in southern Xinjiang; Tubo dominated the snowy areas, encroaching on the southwest territory step by step. The land of Yunnan, which is thousands of miles away, is just a pawn in the game between the two great powers. The tribes of Liuzhao are trying to survive in a precarious situation. Piroge was born in the remnants of the Mengshe tribe. When he was young, he saw his people humiliated and bullied, surrounded by powerful enemies, without soldiers and food, and lived in a corner of the Weishan Mountains, surviving. His father taught him to be patient and dormant, waiting for the enemy to defeat himself; but troubled times never wait for the weak, giving in will not bring hope, and patience cannot protect the clan. The young man held the sword and swore an oath: He did not want the people of Yunnan to play chess for generations, and he did not want the people of Cangshan to bow their heads and survive. He opened up secret trade routes in desperate situations, accumulated grain and grass, trained sharp soldiers, and hibernated in the mountains to sharpen swords; he defeated the siege of the Five Imperial Edicts with his wisdom, defeated the heroes of the Erhai Sea with his iron blood, and climbed to the top of the Dian land step by step from the precarious little imperial edict. Dealing with the two powerful powers of Tang and Tubo, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and used his strength to seek the country; quelled civil strife, reformed the administration of officials, built cities and prospered the country, and established peace in the country. Throughout his life, he fought hard and conquered thousands of miles, but in the end he could not escape the coldness of the emperor. They know each other's beauty, but they have no chance to stay together because of the power of family and country; they live and die together, but they are separated by the change of power; they respect the kindness of the Tang Dynasty and refuse to give up an inch of territory. He started from Weishan Mountain, flourished in Erhai Lake, and established himself in the southern border. He was named the King of Yunnan. This is the ups and downs of a generation of Nanzhao's founding emperors. It is the hegemony witnessed by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in troubled times. Mountains and rivers will last forever, but only the king will leave his name.
