As the capital of the Tubo Dynasty today, Luoxe City is very different from the other simple and leaky cities in Tubo. Tall city walls, palaces and houses, newly built temples, wide roads, dense canals...
All the things necessary for a city are not lacking in this Luoshu city.
Local vendors selling goods along the street, nobles wearing Tubo costumes, and caravans from various countries in different costumes are constantly coming and going in the city, making it very prosperous.
Perhaps in the eyes of the people of Yun and Xia, these cities are not as good as some large local cities. But within Tubo, this is the well-deserved economic, political and cultural center.
In the center of Luoche City, the Tubo Palace stands here.
Although far inferior to the clouds, the palaces of Xia and Liang are majestic and majestic. But against the background of the snow-capped mountains and blue sky, it is a unique scene, showing its magnificence.
In the Tubo Palace today, the gorgeously dressed Tubo nobles and court ministers gathered in the main hall. They all saluted with their breasts in front of the Lord of Tubo, Qi Nie Qi, who was sitting on the throne.
This Tubo hero is in his forties. He is not tall, but extremely strong. His appearance is not outstanding, and he has two well-shaped mustaches on his lips. His movements give people an aura of dignity.
Exciting kingly demeanor.
Qi Nie Qi looked around at the Tubo dignitaries in the palace, laughed a few times, and said:
"Today's banquet is just for the distinguished guests who have come from afar. You need to entertain me well, and don't let the distinguished guests say that I don't know Tubo etiquette!"
Everyone in the hall immediately touched their chests and saluted, and said in unison:
"I will obey Zamp's orders!"
At the banquet, the Tubo specialty food was not particularly delicious, but it had a unique flavor. The beautiful palace maids who emerged from the palace were dressed in Tubo costumes, and their dancing figures were extremely gentle, which was very pleasing to the eye.
As everyone exchanged cups and cups, the atmosphere was quite harmonious and warm.
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"Reporting to Zanpu, Master Sibenduoji of the Lang clan, I am asking for an audience outside the palace!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the palace.
The wine glasses held in the hands of everyone present paused, and they subconsciously looked at Qi Nie Qi who was looking up.
When Qi Nie Qi heard this, his eyes moved, he was silent for a while, then he put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, let him come in. There happens to be something that I need to ask him personally!"
"yes!"
After a while, Duoji, the leader of the Lang family, walked quickly into the hall while howling, fell to his knees with a thud, and said sadly:
"Dorji, meet Zampu!"
At this time, Dorje's face was covered in blood, his gorgeous clothes had become filthy, and there were many scars on his body, making him look very embarrassed.
Duoji sent troops to occupy three counties in Xiangzhou County. It took only more than two months in total, and he abandoned his armor and was defeated all the way.
In Tubo, the Lang family's troops, known for their ability to fight well and be invincible, had no resistance at all in front of the Yun soldiers and horses led by Jiang Wei.
More than a thousand armored soldiers used to be able to intimidate the Tibetan people, but under the charge of Yun Guo's cavalry, they broke through the defense line in just one encounter, and the whole army was wiped out in half an hour.
Tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers were able to burn, kill and loot. But when faced with the Yun Kingdom soldiers and horses, it was a dimensionality-reducing attack and they fled directly. They were chased by Yun Kingdom soldiers and horses with weaker troops and horses one after another, and they were completely defeated.
However, these temporarily recruited miscellaneous soldiers are better than pigs.
They fled all over the mountains and fields, forcing the Yun army to encircle and arrest the scattered Tibetan soldiers. However, Duoji found an opportunity and rushed out with only a few close followers. He fled in a hurry and finally returned to Luoxue City.
Many Tibetan dignitaries in the palace couldn't help but whisper timidly when they saw Dorje's embarrassed appearance. Many of them even laughed meaningfully without concealing it.
Duoji has a violent temper, oppresses the people in his territory internally, and is aggressive externally. Such a person knows that he is not very popular.
Seeing Duoji's unlucky appearance at this time, except for some Tibetan dignitaries who had a bad taste for him in the past and showed no expressions, the rest of the people in the palace had begun to show expressions of gloating about his misfortune.
Duoji, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned red when he heard the mocking sound coming from his ears. At this time, he couldn't help but secretly hate himself. He clenched his teeth and cursed these people in his heart.
Duoji lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said sadly:
"Zanpu, those damn Yun people attacked my territory and massacred my soldiers and horses. Duoji was able to escape only with the blessing of the Dragon God. Zanpu, you are the king of Duoji and the king of Tubo.
Duoji has been wronged, and I hope that Zamp can seek justice for Duoji and the damn Yun people!"
As soon as these words were said, the laughter in the hall suddenly became louder. As if they heard some joke, the Tibetan dignitaries laughed out loud, and the whole hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Everyone looked at Dorje with a hint of ridicule and contempt in their eyes, as if they were not afraid of offending him at all, nor worried about Dorje's future revenge.
Dorje, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt something in his heart, and subconsciously noticed something was wrong.
It is related to the dignity of the Tubo Kingdom. When they heard about the invasion of the Yun Kingdom, why did no one of the many Tibetan aristocrats and ministers in the palace show indignation?
Thinking of this, Duoji raised his head slightly and looked at several Tibetan dignitaries who were familiar with him.
However, I saw that these dignitaries who had frequent contacts with Dorje in the past either looked indifferent or looked away, and no one responded to Dorje's eyes.
For a moment, Duoji's heart sank.
Qi Nie Qi, who was sitting high on the throne, glanced at Duoji with a hint of disgust and said coldly:
"When did the three counties of Jinchuan, Yin'en, and Chongde become your Lang family's territory?"
The cold voice immediately made Duoji's pupils shrink and his back felt cold.
In fact, Duoji sent troops because he coveted the wealth of the three counties and was moved by the gold and silver sent by the Xia people. But these are not the main reasons!
The Xia man who met him at the beginning said that he would force Nie Qi to abandon Nie Qi and send troops with great righteousness.
He didn't quite understand what "righteousness" meant, but he could understand that using the name of Yun State to invade Tubo territory could indeed arouse the indignation of the domestic dignitaries and force him to abandon Nie Qi and confront Yun State.
Abandoning Nie Qi and maintaining domestic rule while confronting the Yun Kingdom, it was impossible to send too many of his trusted soldiers to the border, so it was necessary to strengthen the strength of the border tribes.
The Lang clan is one of the few tribes in the Tubo Kingdom that directly borders the Yun Kingdom.
This is the reason why Duoji agreed to send troops to the Xia State and offended the Yun State!
But he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom would be so brave and good at fighting. More than a thousand of his own carefully trained soldiers would be wiped out in one battle. Tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers who were recruited were also completely defeated, leaving him seriously injured in the battle.
.
He secretly hated the Xia Kingdom for being sinister and the Yun Kingdom was bullying the weak. In order to retaliate, he could only grit his teeth and continue to follow the Xia Kingdom's plan and come to Luosucheng to complain to Nie Qi in an attempt to bring down the entire Tubo Dynasty.
The confrontation between Jin and Yun Guo.
Originally, according to the plan, he should conceal the fact that he had captured the three counties first, and then use the excuse of Yun Guo to lead troops to invade the Lang family's territory, so that the domestic dignitaries who were already dissatisfied with Ai Nie Qi could use the excuse to force Ai Nie Qi to confront him.
Yun Kingdom.
But what's terrible now is that for some reason, the news that he sent troops to capture the three counties first spread back to Luoxue City.
The Yun Kingdom invaded Tubo territory and Duoji brought it upon himself. Public opinion in the Tubo Kingdom was completely different!
Duoji swallowed his saliva and could only argue:
"Go back to Zanpu. The land of the three counties was given to me by the Xia people... I accepted it on your behalf. I wanted to report the good news to you quickly, but I didn't want the Yun Kingdom to suddenly invade. Duoji was powerless.
I defended the territory for you, please forgive me!"
When Qi Nie Qi heard this, his brows suddenly moved, and he immediately showed an angry look, saying:
"Those who are full of lies will definitely be punished by the Dragon God! The Xia Kingdom and I, Tubo, do not have frequent contact and have no friendship with each other. How could they easily give the land of three counties to me, Tubo?"
Duoji heard this and quickly continued:
"Holy gods, I, Duoji, did not lie to you. The land of the three counties was indeed given to me by the Xia Kingdom... to Zanpu!"
When Qi Nie Qi heard this, he stroked his beard, pretending to be hesitant on his face, and said:
"Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, I'm afraid it won't be convincing..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Evidence? I have it right here!"
The Mandarin of the Central Plains was heard in the Tubo palace at this time, which seemed particularly inconsistent.
Duoji suddenly raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from. All the Tibetan dignitaries also looked at him.
Then he saw sitting on the seat next to Nie Qi, a young official with a tall figure and a resolute and brave face, but wearing the civil service uniform of Yun State.
At this time, the official was looking at Dorje who was kneeling on the ground with a sneer.
Only then did Duoji notice the young official, looking at the Yun Kingdom court uniform he was wearing, he suddenly showed a look of shock.
On the battlefield, the leader of Yun Jun was wearing this kind of clothes.
No wonder Qi Nie Qi knew the situation on the border so clearly. It turned out that the envoy from Yun State had already arrived!
Next to the young official of Yun State, there was a translator who was proficient in Tubo language, and he immediately translated the words exactly as they were.
Hearing these words from the Yun Kingdom official at this time, Nie Qi was slightly startled.
As the recognized leader of Tubo, Qi Nie Qi is not a confused person. He can obviously understand what Duoji just said, that the land of the three counties was given to Tubo by the Xia Kingdom, but he just wanted to excuse himself.
The reason why Qi Nie Qi asked again pretending to be confused was because he had a different intention.
The Yun Kingdom was so powerful that Tubo was naturally unable to obtain the land of these three counties. But using this as an excuse, it is impossible to get any more benefits from the Yun Kingdom!
However, Qi Nie Qi never expected that the Yun State envoy not only did not refute according to his own ideas, but actually said something directly, and he had evidence in his hand.
All of a sudden, Ai Nie Qi became a bit confused.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Qi Nie Qi held it in for a while and then asked.
The young official of the Yun Kingdom slowly stood up, took a deep look at Qi Nie Qi, and sneered:
"I have evidence in my hands that can prove that this person colluded with the Xia Kingdom and used the land of the three counties as bait in order to provoke a fight between Dayun and Tubo!"
While speaking, he took out a thick letter from his wide sleeves, placed it on the table in front of him, and then continued:
"If Zanpu is deceived by the bait deliberately thrown out by the Xia Kingdom, and deceived by the deceptive words of such villains, although he can gain the land of three counties, he will also lose the peace with me, Dayun!"
"If that happens, most of our tea-horse trade route in Dayun will be cut off. And Tibet's cattle, horses, and green salt will also be unable to be sold. It will also be impossible to obtain ironware, tea, and cloth, which are the things Tibet needs. In the past, peace was
The border between the two countries will also be filled with the sound of killing. The two countries have lost peace, but they will not be able to gain any benefits. It will only benefit the Xia Kingdom in vain!"
Having said this, the young official from the Yun Kingdom turned to look at Qi Nie Qi, tapped the letter twice with his fingers, and said in a deep voice:
"Zanpu, do you really think this outcome will be good?"
The attendant, who was proficient in the Tubo language, stammered somewhat as he translated the words of the Yun official.
In the main hall, all the Tubo nobles suddenly became silent. Even Duoji was a little speechless at this time.
The Tea-Horse Trade Road, one of the most important trade routes, started from the territory of Yun Kingdom, passed through Tubo territory, and extended to the Western Regions. It traded with various countries and brought countless wealth to both countries.
Therefore, once the Yun Kingdom and Tubo become enemies, it will obviously not be a good thing for each of them!
Qi Nie Qi moved his lips, then showed a smile, picked up the wine cup at hand, and said:
"What your envoy said is extremely reasonable. I was almost fooled by Xia Guo's tricks!"
Not to mention anything else, just looking at Qi Nie Qi's political figure that can give in instantly is not enough for people to take a high look at him.
Facing Ai Nie Qi's apology and toast, the young official of the Yun Kingdom nodded slightly, turned his head, looked at Duoji kneeling in the palace with a cold face, and said in a sharp voice:
"For someone with such ulterior motives and trying to provoke a fight between the two countries, his loyalty to you Zamp must be just a pretense. Do you really want to let him go?"
When Qi Nie Qi heard this, his eyes immediately condensed, he raised his finger and pointed at Duoji, and shouted:
"Come here, take Langshi Dorje down and hand it over to Changben to deal with the crime!"
Changben, the official in charge of legal systems in the Tubo Dynasty, is similar to the Dali Temple in the Yun Kingdom.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the Yun State official say loudly:
"No need! If we don't kill these people, it won't be enough to quell the criticism of the two countries, let alone comfort the innocent people in both countries who died in vain because of it! What other crimes need to be punished?"
While speaking, under the astonished gazes of all the Tibetan dignitaries in the palace, he walked straight down from the banquet, and then without waiting for anyone to react, he whipped out the sword from the waist of the Tibetan guard in the palace and headed towards Dorji, who was kneeling on the ground.
Suddenly, exclamations of surprise resounded in the hall.
"Your Majesty, stop it...quickly, stop it quickly!" Qi Nie Qi couldn't help but exclaimed.
The Tubo guards in the palace rushed forward in panic, trying to stop the Yun officials.
But to everyone's surprise, this Yun State official showed extremely amazing martial arts at this time.
With his swift movements, the gorgeous and spacious Yun Kingdom's court clothes were flying in the Tubo hall. All the Tubo guards stepped forward, but they could not even touch the edge of his court clothes.
Tubo has a small population, weak national strength, and its martial arts system is inferior to that of the Central Plains and Tiannan. Therefore, compared with a well-trained army, the cost-effectiveness of martial arts masters is not high.
Therefore, even when the Lord of Tubo abandoned Nie Qi, there were not many high-level warriors to protect him. At this time, no one could stop the Yun Kingdom officials.
Duoji, who was kneeling on the ground, was also shocked at this time. Facing the Yun State official who came with a knife, he hesitated for a while, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
If you can't escape death, then drag the Yun people to die together! At that time, you can't explain to the Yun country, and the war is still unavoidable. So let countless people from the two countries be buried with you!
With a determined murderous intention in his heart, Duoji suddenly rose up and rushed towards the Yun State officials.
Taking action without any scruples, and with the intention of death, Duoji was already crazy at this time, and his power was even more terrifying. He was obviously only a seventh-level practitioner, but at this time his aura could actually touch the eighth-level realm, faintly.
Connecting the changes of heaven and earth.
Under the combination of Qi and Qi, in an instant, a terrifying vision of a god with a height of two feet, covered with blood-evil Qi, and with bones scattered under his feet, condensed out.
The hall was suddenly filled with a bloody aura, as if it had turned into a Shura hell, making everyone present feel dizzy and extremely frightened.
The eyes of the officials of the Yun Kingdom condensed, and the aura of an eighth-level cultivation overflowed out, and the energy stirred up the power of heaven and earth, and there was a sudden response.
The vision of an eagle with incomparable divine horses was condensed at this time. Its body was strong and vigorous, its claws and fangs flashed with cold light, its wings were waving, and it circled down, pressing down on the vision of the blood evil god.
The sound of an eagle's chirping suddenly resounded in the ears of everyone in the hall. Those who were shocked by the bloody vision suddenly felt the fear in their hearts dissipate. The vision condensed by Duoji suddenly became illusory. After a few breaths,
, then completely dissipated!
Facing the fierce attack of Duoji, the sword flashed, and the majestic sound of the long sword breaking through the wind came, and then suddenly.
With a "thud" sound, Dorje's body suddenly fell down, and his huge head rolled several times on the ground. Blood flowed from the place where his neck was broken, dyeing the ground of the palace hall red.
Everyone in the hall froze on the spot, staring blankly at the Yun Kingdom official.
No one expected that this envoy from the Yun Kingdom had just been expounding the importance of peace between the two countries. Then he dared to kill Zanpu directly in the palace hall in front of the Tubo monarchs and ministers, regardless of Zanpu's obstruction.
Tubo tribal leader.
The Yun official casually threw down the long knife in his hand, not paying attention to the shocked expressions of the Tubo monarchs and ministers. He lowered his head to look at his new court uniform that was stained with blood, frowned slightly, and whispered:
"Unlucky, the new court uniform..."
The Yun State official sighed with regret, then looked at Qi Nie Qi who was standing above him, bowed his hands and said:
"Why bother your ministers with those who colluded with the Xia State and destroyed the peace between the two countries? They should be killed directly to maintain the peace between the two countries... I was just angry because my Majesty had a moment of disobedience. Please punish me!"
On the throne, Qi Nie Qi took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to cover up the shocked look on his face, and then said in a deep voice:
"It's understandable that your envoy was furious for a moment... I originally wanted to push such a person with heinous sins before the Dragon God, count his sins in detail, and then use him to sacrifice to the gods!"
Qi Nie Qi knew very well that the people in the Yun Kingdom responded to his thoughts just now by killing someone so brazenly.
The profound meaning is that Yun Guo does not want war, but it is definitely not afraid of war.
Qi Nie Qi knew very well that the two countries would benefit from cooperation and harm from separation. The most important thing is that the Yun State was strong, while the Tubo State was weak.
When the two countries were in dispute, even though the plateau was a favorable location, there was no need to worry that the Yun Kingdom could completely destroy Tubo. But how could Tubo's national strength be able to sustain a long-term military confrontation?
Even if Tubo can hold on, can Zampu, who is feared and feared by the country's nobles and nobles because he imitated the Central Plains dynasty and implemented centralized power, can hold on?
So at this time, the best way to deal with abandoning Nie Qi is to grit his teeth and eat this sulk...
Hearing this, the officials of the Yun Kingdom slightly curved their lips, immediately leaned over and saluted, and said:
"Zanpu understands justice well, and I, Wang Xuance, admire him!"
[Purple training card, the army of heavenly generals
Card effect: After using it, you will have Wang Xuance
Card description: The Wolf Peak in the desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the sky and the earth are roaring in the west.
Wang Xuance, whose date of birth and death is unknown, was an official and diplomat of the Tang Dynasty. He went to India several times. In the 21st year of Zhenguan, his mission coincided with the coup and rebellion of the ministers of the Central Tianzhu Kingdom, who coveted wealth and led troops to plunder. Wang Xuance rode alone
After fleeing, he sent out a message to recruit troops, borrowed troops from Tubo and Niboluo, and led the troops to fight for three days. He beheaded more than 3,000 people, drowned 10,000 people, captured their concubines and princes, and completely destroyed Zhongtianzhu.

(Card skill: When one person destroys a country and Wang Xuance is the envoy, it will reduce the hostility value of the target country. There is a certain probability that the target country will pay tribute and trade. There is a very low probability that the target country will be directly subordinate to the target country for three years)]
Xiao Cheng drew a new card.
Wang Xuance's attributes are very average, and the card summons only one person. Logically speaking, the card level should not be too high. However, the card skills he carries directly push the level of this card to the purple level.
.
Different from the game, in reality, just "reduce the hostility value of the target country" can lead to too many tricks!
Abandoning Nie Qi gave a forced laugh and asked the people to clean up the palace. He wanted to continue the banquet as if nothing had happened. However, after this incident, the atmosphere could not return to the original state where the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves just now.
When Wang Xuance saw this, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he made an excuse, got up and left.
After Wang Xuance left, Qi Nie Qi's face became slightly gloomy, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
All the Tibetan dignitaries were sitting on the banquet with their heads hunched, not daring to leave.
After a moment of silence, Nie Qi suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Issue an order to select brave warriors from all ministries and serve them with gold and silver official positions!"
Obviously, the battle just now gave Qi Nie Qi a deeper understanding of the power of high-level warriors.
All the Tibetan dignitaries present immediately responded in unison:
