As the regional center of the Tibetan area, Daowu City has suddenly become lively recently. Many people from the Hu tribes around the country have entered the city and kept contacting local residents and saying some strange words.

At first, the people in the city didn't care. After all, Daowu City is the most prosperous place in the Tibetan region. The Tubo League was even held here several times in the past year.

After seeing so many powerful and powerful chiefs, the people of Daowu City have consciously seen the real market and can see some ordinary things.

However, as more and more people entered the city, they were all sneaky and inquire about it, ordinary things also showed a bit of unusual meaning, so some people took it seriously.

Located on the left side of the city, in a manor hall next to the mountain, there is a middle-aged man with a cloak with a exposed chest and abdomen lying on a strange-style seat. His arms were wrapped around his golden rings, and there was a tangled hoop of gold wire on his forehead to tie the messy hairband behind his head.

The person is the king who is attached to the country, named Yiling. The country is added to the country and becomes a small country, and there is no distinction between surnames. The so-called Yi is the king in the local language, or the one who is the best.

"What are the intentions of those who come from other places?"

It is accompanied by the national language, with short pronunciation and few changes. Even if it is the same syllable tone, the conversation scenes are different, and the meanings expressed are completely different. As for the words Wang Yiling used, it is another way of expression in other languages, which is the grammar compiled by the upper class after they came into contact with China and Tubo.

In the hall, there were two men in long robes, kneeling on their knees, lying forward, and their arms stretched straight toward the ground. This posture was extremely awkward, which would make the rituals very hard. Extending their arms so far means that they were unarmed and did not threaten the superiors.

There is such etiquette and custom, which only represents one thing, that is, the kings of the country are often killed by nearby people and learn from their mistakes, so this custom has been passed down.

Hearing the question from the Lord, one of the worshipers replied: "A dozen foreigners were arrested and a result was found. These outsiders were searching for a kind of pheasant bird beak and feathers. The reason was that merchants from the Tang Dynasty were purchasing such goods in large numbers. The feathers of this bird beak were red. It is said that they had a magical ability to use it to make feather arrows and shoot Tubo soldiers, which would make people bleeding and would be saved by death."

"What a witch! If there are such a magical object, how could our country be occupied by Tubo? How could I be willing to be a toy in Tubo!"

After hearing this, the king of the king Yiling from the country could not help but sneer, saying that he had resentment towards his current situation. Of course, if anyone else was dissatisfied, he would be the supreme person when he closed the door and offered him the whole country, but now he has become a puppet of the foreign country and cannot help but do anything major.

"But the merchants in the Tang Dynasty are indeed purchasing these goods in large quantities. A pair of bird beaks and three feathers can be exchanged for a wrapped silk and thin silk, so many people are searching for such goods. There is also a saying that the queen of the Tang Dynasty compares to the phoenix, and the red-feathered and red-beaked pheasant is a phoenix species. It is weaved into winged objects to wear, which can help its national fortune."

The country with no surname even has no standard of measurement. The silk of the Tang Dynasty is a top luxury in its territory, and the standard for measuring how much it is to wrap around.

"This statement is credible. The Tang Kingdom has so much wealth that it cannot be measured. If it can benefit the rule, how can it be stingy with the goods?"

Hearing this statement, the king of the country nodded, and even his words were full of envy. I don’t know whether it was because of his envy of the wealth of the Tang Kingdom or the empress of the Tang Kingdom who found a divine object to maintain its rule and power.

But he asked cautiously: "Have you ever asked the merchants who have been with me before, is this kind of thing real?"

Another official was mainly responsible for the attachment of the royal manor, Tian Yi. After hearing this, he showed a look of sorrow on his face. Of course, he maintained such a kneeling posture and had to press his head and face to the ground. Naturally, the king could not see his expression.

But his tone was enough to express his current bad mood: "The Tang merchants who were doing business in the past year were killed and looted by Tubo garrisons. This year, no one dared to deliver goods near Daowu City. Those merchants said that if they wanted to buy and sell, they could only go to the Arrow Furnace to pick up the goods by themselves, otherwise they would cut off this transaction."

When the king Yiling heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his whole body was filled with negative energy. He said angrily: "Add more money, don't they want to come?"

Although the country of support was destroyed, in order to stabilize the regional situation, Tubo still retained the royal manors, pastures and slave populations of his royal family. People who are alive must have some entrustedness. The power of life and death is gone, so enjoying the goods of the Tang Kingdom that others cannot enjoy has become an important way for the monarch to maintain his dignity.

Moreover, due to geographical advantages, the country where the country is located is the key to the trade between Tang and Turkish countries, so it obtains precious goods from the merchants of the Tang Dynasty and then transfers them to Tubo. Whether it is gifts or transactions, it can get a lot of money.

Compared with the strong national strength of Tubo, even when it was the most powerful, it was far from its opponent. Rebellions in the Tibetan area are now occurring one after another, but the royal family of the king can still maintain its puppet status and accept the protection of Tubo. There is a big reason why the king uses the precious goods of the Tang Dynasty to make good use of the nobles of the foreign countries.

Even a few years ago, there were voices in the Tubo country that wanted to collect tributes from the royal family, and they were all suppressed by the nobles of the foreign countries who were close to the country.

Therefore, the goods from the Tang Dynasty also have extremely profound significance for the royal family, which can not only maintain its extravagance and protect its political status. Therefore, the royal family has maintained close contacts with a group of Tang merchants and each gains its own preferences.

"It's not because of the amount of money. The British Guards are becoming more and more arrogant, and merchants are gone. As long as they get close to Daowu City, their lives will be lost."

The king and his servants said with a bitter look on their faces.

When the king heard this, he looked sad. Not to mention that he had no power to instruct the Tubo army to garrison, even if he had it, he would not dare to transfer the Tubo army from Daowu City.

Previously, war chaos broke out in the Tibetan area, and the tribes in the central government were unwilling to continue to accept the enslavement of Tubo. However, after seeing the fierceness of Tubo, the king was very scared of it, for fear of angering Tubo, so he simply took the initiative to attract the Tubo army to enter the country to quell the rebellion.

With the cooperation of the royal family, the turmoil in the Tibetan area was quickly pacified. However, it was easy to ask gods to send gods to the gods. After Tubo maintained the army in the Tibetan area for a long time, and directly summoned the royal guards.

Until now, the royal family of the attached king has no power to protect themselves. No matter how arrogant the Tubo garrison is, they can only grit their teeth and bear it.

But now the existence of the Tubo army has seriously affected the life and future of the royal family, forcing the king to consider this issue seriously.

"Do you want to cut off the envoys of several families this year and let them take the initiative to transfer the garrison?"

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, the king denied it. The nobles of Tubo were not fools who were wise and foolish. They understood that only this garrison would be here and the royal family would be worshipped every year.

If he really threatened this, the Tubo nobles might have directly destroyed his puppet. He felt it was a bit unhappy to be a dog for Tubo, but I don’t know how many Hu Ke in the Tibetan area were eager to be a dog for Tubo. After all, only by being a dog can one be despised.

The king originally wanted to ask the Tang people whether the so-called red feathered and red beak was indeed true, but it led to a topic that made him feel deeply troubled. He had no intention of asking about it for a while.

But just as he was empty-minded, a minister who was kneeling deep on the ground suddenly shouted: "Can you use the riots of those foreigners to temporarily transfer the Tubo garrison from Daowu City? After all, there are rumors that the Tang Kingdom was collecting these strange goods to kill the foreign army..."

When the king heard this, his eyes were bright for a moment. He realized that there was room for operation for this matter. He quickly clapped his hands and said, "Please make a careful plan, but don't let the foreign army suspect me!"

There is a reason why the ruler and ministers of the country become slaves to the destruction of the country.

In fact, a few days before they discussed this, the Tubo army stationed in Daowu City noticed these unusual signs.

After all, in addition to protecting the royal family, their biggest mission is to control the situation in the Tibetan area. Such unusual actions occur in the area, so they naturally have to pay attention to it.

The situation that the garrison of the foreign states learned was similar to what the monarch and ministers knew about. Of course, the generals garrisoned here already knew that there had been a coup in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called consolidation of the empress was just a gimmick. The feathered arrows made of red feathers and red beaks would make them bleed continuously, which made them even more confusing.

But despite this, the generals stationed in this territory of the foreign countries did not dare to neglect them. Because this means that as much as the Hu tribes participated in the collection of these strange goods, there were many people in the Tibetan area who hoped that they would not die well.

So a few days ago, the foreign countries had frequently mobilized troops to investigate the source of the rumor, and some small-scale battles had even occurred in some places.

"The British state has more than 3,000 troops here, and its power is still not weak. I only hope that the Qiang tribes in this area can entangle more troops from the British state."

The source of the rumor is naturally Guo Yuanzhen. This guy is full of bad things, so it is impossible to make a strategy just to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Guo Wanjun said that he wanted to buy the power of the Qiang soldiers to attack Daowu City, and Guo Yuanzhen felt it was a bit unreliable. However, this time he came to the west, he led only more than 200 soldiers from the Yizhou Grand Governor's Office, and Guo Wanjun and other caravans were guarding him. The total number was less than 1,000. If he did not rely on the local Qiang forces, it would be difficult to get the troops stationed in the Dingfan Kingdom.

It is difficult to achieve each other's intentions by simply buying, but if they arouse each other's greed, they will make a happy fuss. Therefore, he previously asked Guo Wanjun, including some other Tang Dynasty merchants who wandered around this realm to spend a lot of money to purchase strange goods, and naturally used some money in the process.

Because the Tubo garrison was dissatisfied with the thieves in the Tibetan area, the Hu tribes were dispersed to investigate the source of the rumors and found that the Hu tribes had hoarded a large amount of Tang goods, so they naturally could not bear greed and would rob them. The existence of these goods itself is enough to show that the Hu tribes had close contacts with the Tang people, which was a kind of evidence.

The Hu tribe was unwilling to be plundered and even massacred, so they naturally had to rise up and resist. In this way, it would be much more effective than simply buying.

Of course, in this process, some Tang Dynasty merchants will definitely be affected by unknown understanding and will inevitably be lost.

But this is impossible, and even Guo Yuanzhen did it intentionally. The next step of the Yong Dynasty shogunate will definitely strengthen the control of Shuzhong, and the Tang and Turkish trade routes in Shuzhong are definitely also part of the control.
