Under the rule of Xiangzhou County, Yin'en County.

Yin'en County is located in a remote area, close to the plateau, and was already the most southwesterly county in the Xia Kingdom. Less than fifty miles to the southwest, it directly reaches the territory of Tubo.

Such a remote town is called a county government, but in fact, in terms of prosperity and number of people, it is far inferior to any small town in the Central Plains and Tiannan.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid that the high officials in Jinling City don't even know that there is such a place within the territory of Daxia.

But today, this remote town, which had been barren and closed for hundreds of years, was covered with blood.

The low and dilapidated city gate was torn down, and several officers who struggled to resist until the end died in the battle, with their bodies lying beside the city gate. The bodies of dead people were everywhere in the small county town.

Soldiers holding long swords and wearing leather armor were frantically searching the city, searching for money, gold and silver from the houses and dead people.

Yin'en County is barren, but for these soldiers, it can be called a wealthy place.

The faces of these soldiers were full of excitement, and they laughed happily among themselves. On top of the horses held by each of them, there were trophies wrapped in cloth and piled high.

The blood stained on the trophies seeped out from the cloth and dripped from the saddle, and the drops of blood seemed like teardrops of accusation.

Outside the city, more than a hundred soldiers wearing chainmail armor, surrounded by a Tibetan nobleman wearing a large lapel Tibetan robe, a jade belt tied around his waist, and a quilt hanging down, and a colorful belt hanging on the left and right sides of the waist, were stationed outside the city.

Watching from a distance.

Tubo is located on a plateau. Although the country has a large territory, its national strength is weak. The soldiers in the country who are fully covered with armor like this do not need to look at them to know that they are the elite of Tubo.

Not to mention that the leader is dressed up and looks like a very noble person in Tubo.

At this time, I saw a Tibetan general wearing light armor coming on horseback. He rolled off his horse, caressed his chest and saluted the leader, and said excitedly:

"Sir Duoji Siben, Yin'en County has been captured! The soldiers have received a lot of gold and silver. They are very happy and praise you for your bravery and courage!"

Tubo is called a unified dynasty, but in fact it has always implemented a tribal system. Siben is the official position in the Tubo state system that manages local tribes.

In other words, the person in front of me is a leader of a local Tubo tribe named Duoji.

The Tubo general pulled a cloth bag off his horse, opened it suddenly, and revealed the blood-stained gold and silver jewelry inside, and said respectfully:

"Lord Si Ben, these things are the most valuable among the trophies. I will give them all to you!"

Dorje is tall and majestic, with loose hair, dressed in rich and noble clothes, and still exudes a barbaric atmosphere.

Looking at the gold and silver piled up in front of him, Duoji's eyes sharpened, and he immediately waved the riding crop in his hand and threw it down hard.

There was only a "crack" sound of explosion, and the Tibetan general who rushed forward to flatter him was hit by a horsewhip.

With a scream of "Ah", the Tubo general rolled his eyes and almost fainted without pain.

The light armor he was wearing could originally resist arrows. But when faced with Duoji's whip, it shattered like paper, and then a very long slash was drawn out from his body.

Kouzi.

Duoji looked at this person with cold eyes and said:

"What was the order I gave before?"

The Tibetan general almost fainted from the pain, but when he saw Duoji's eyes that contained murderous intent, he could not help but tremble in his heart. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold on. He immediately leaned over and apologized:

"Lord Siben, I know I was wrong!"

"Pa"!

There was another crisp sound, and the riding whip fell again, and it was thrown on the general's body, easily tearing a piece of his flesh open, and blood flowed continuously.

The Tubo general was hit again, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled on the ground and wailed:

"Ah, Si, please forgive me, Sir Si Ben!"

Duoji's eyes were cold and he said:

"Ask me again, what was my previous order!"

The general did not dare to say anything else and said quickly:

"Lord Si Ben, you want us to capture Yin'en County, Jinchuan County, and Chongde County in Xiangzhou County in one go..."

Under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou County, there are seven states and five counties. These three counties are all counties in the southwest of Xiangzhou County, close to Tubo.

When Duoji heard this, a trace of violence flashed in his eyes and he said:

"Since you know it, it proves that I have indeed told you before! But now, you have stayed in Yin'en County for more than a day because of your greed for gold and silver!"

At this time, a group of Tubo soldiers also saw the movement here, and came over with some fear.

Duoji looked around at everyone and said coldly:

"According to the law, I will put you to death!"

When the general heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted hurriedly:

"Lord Siben, I know I was wrong..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of sound was heard.

The horse whip was swung out, making the sound of wind and thunder.

A tooth-chilling sound was heard, and the skin and flesh on the general's chest burst open, and he suddenly let out a miserable wailing sound.

The more tragic the sound, the more ferocious smile appeared on Duoji's face, and he waved the riding whip harder. Every time it fell, blood spattered out and flesh flew away.

The blood on the gold and silver jewelry that had dried up was now reduced to the blood of the general, and became dripping with blood again.

The sound of "pop, pop, pop" the whip was whipped down, and the general's wails became lower and lower, and finally there was no more movement.

Duoji violently twitched a few more times before stopping, looking at the body lying on the ground, and finally let out a sigh of relief, showing a look of contentment.

At this time, the Tubo soldiers who had gathered looked at the bloody corpses on the ground. The joy of winning the trophies was gone. They knelt down in fear and knelt down frantically begging for mercy.

Xu Shi had just vented his anger and soothed his anger. At this time, Duoji slowly took back his riding whip, raised his brows, and said in a bewitching tone:

"Put down the things in your hands and pick up the long sword again. Jinchuan County and Chongde County are richer. If you attack these two places, you will gain more!"

"I give you permission. After you capture the city, you can stay without sealing the sword for three days! The Xia people's gold, silver, cloth, and women are all yours to take!"

A group of elite soldiers behind Duoji immediately shouted loudly and said:

"Follow Lord Dorje!"

The ordinary Tibetan soldiers who were originally frightened had no choice at this time. They swallowed, put down the trophies collected on horseback, and echoed:

"Follow Lord Dorje!"

"Follow Lord Dorje!"

"Follow Lord Dorje!"

The sound became louder and louder, and the atmosphere became more and more fanatical, as if the wealth of the Xia people in the three counties was now placed in front of them, and they were allowed to take advantage of it...

-----------------------

Yun Kingdom, in the palace of Zhongqing City.

Xiao Cheng frowned, stopped reviewing the memorial with his ink pen, turned back to look at Guo Xie, and said:

"Tibet?"

Guo Xie, who was wearing a fourth-grade red court uniform, immediately raised his hands and said:

"Xiangzhou County had originally decided to surrender, and the county's field rolls were all ready, ready to be presented to His Majesty. However, the Tibetan soldiers and horses suddenly attacked, and the three counties of Yin'en, Jinchuan, and Chongde were in emergency. The soldiers and civilians of Xiangzhou County were in urgent need.

Submit a blood letter and ask Your Majesty to send troops!"

Among the six southwest counties of the Xia Kingdom, Jiangyang, Dejiang, and Hechi were in the hands of the Yun Kingdom. The two counties of Shaoyang and Anshun were controlled by the Xia Army and became the southwest defense line against the Yun Kingdom's troops.

Only Xiangzhou County, because of its remote location, had an unstable foundation for Xia's rule. Therefore, after the initial military turmoil and the plague, they took advantage of the troops stationed on the border to be transferred away. They immediately united with the people, expelled the Xia government, and declared the township

People's self-government.

Because of the critical situation in the southwest and the unstable defense line, King Xia Guoqi naturally did not have the energy to take care of Xiangzhou County. And because he was concerned about the people's reputation, he naturally could not directly send troops to attack Xiangzhou County.

Guo Xie's sticking point was his constant contact with the soldiers and civilians of Xiangzhou County.

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he put down the ink pen in his hand and said with great interest:

"Did we prepare the field registration list a long time ago, or did we just say this because we were unable to stop the Tibetan troops?"

Hearing this, Guo Xie pondered for a moment and then said:

"Your Majesty, Xiangzhou County is now governed by villagers' self-governance. There is no one with great authority in the county to preside over the overall situation, so there must be different views on this matter internally. If Teruomi guesses, there should be two ideas.

!”

Some people admire the transformation of King Dayun and want to lead the villagers to avoid war. Naturally, there are also people who want to sell it for a price and use Xiangzhou County in exchange for glory and wealth for themselves!

But after the Tubo troops attacked and the situation worsened, they no longer had any choice between the Xia State, which was unable to take action, and the Yun State, which was in full swing.

"That's all, people are always innocent!" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said.

"I sent an order to Cheng Buji to send troops to take over all areas of Xiangzhou County. If there is any change in Tibet, there is no need to be polite!"

Speaking of the Tubo Kingdom, it is a barren country, adjacent to the two countries of Yun and Xia. If it were not for the fact that it is located on a plateau and has unique geographical advantages, and it is difficult for the soldiers of the two countries to adapt, capture, and rule, it would be difficult to make ends meet. It would have been destroyed by Yun.

, any country in Xia was destroyed.

So Xiao Cheng didn't pay much attention to such a country.
