Chapter 1013 I'm hungry

The scenery in the Tubo country is completely different from the desert, and is slightly different from the northwest of Daning. The grain production in the northwest of Daning is not high, and most areas are plateaus, and there is not enough water sources, so agriculture is restricted. Fortunately, Daning is rich enough. Although the supplies subsidized to the northwest every year sound huge, it is not a lot of pressure for Daning.

The rivers in Tubo are densely packed. Although the waterways are narrow, the water flow is surging and cannot be used for boats. However, the water diversion and irrigation are excellent, so the grain production is still quite rich.

The most important thing is that Tubo also produces horses and has minerals, which has led to Tubo becoming the overlord of the Western Regions.

However, the most serious problem in Tubo is that even if the products are abundant and they can be self-sufficient, they can still obtain a large amount of gold and silver by selling iron tools and war horses to the Western Regions, but the lives of the people are very poor.

First, the Tubo court collected extremely heavy taxes. Second, one-quarter of the land in the hands of Zen Buddhism. These lands do not pay tribute or pay grain, and also enjoy many privileges.

One quarter of the land was not taxed, so the court compensated for it by imposing heavy taxes on farmers.

The aristocratic life is extremely luxurious, and if the people encounter some bad years, they will starve to death.

Speaking of which, the existence value of the people in Tubo is slightly better than that in Louran. Most of the people are serfs, and their lives are not as good as a cow, less than a horse, and are barely equivalent to a mule.

If you want to enter Tubo from Western Xinjiang, you have to break through the city wall built by the Tubo Kingdom for several years and a lot of manpower and material resources. The city walls near thousands of miles adjacent to Daning continue to continue.

With the combat power of the Geng character camp and Wu character camp, it is naturally not difficult to break a city pass, but the consumption cannot be estimated. Shen Leng did not intend to let the soldiers pay a terrible price in this place, so he immediately sent someone to contact the Tubo Right King Modio. About a month ago, after Shen Leng slashed the Tubo king's head with a knife, the general told Jiuzhou that the Tubo general would become a breakthrough in this battle, so he sent a secret envoy to Tubo to contact the Right King Modio.

Among the Tubo countries, there are thousands of nobles of all sizes, and the royal family is naturally the strongest. However, when the king dies, the strength of the royal family becomes difficult to estimate. In addition to the royal family, there are many people who have the qualifications to compete for the Tubo king, such as the Zuo Xian King Dodio, the Right Xian King Modio, the Tubo general Yash, and the general Deng Keduo.

The most powerful person outside the royal family is Zuoxian King Dodio. He is the cousin of the Tubo king. He has a large number of fiefs and private soldiers and is rich enough to rival a country. Moreover, he is a branch of the royal family and has reached an agreement with the royal family. He becomes the new Tubo king, and at least the royal family will not decline.

The Sakura people supported the Zuoxian King Dodio, so he became even more domineering. He had killed more than a dozen court officials who were dissatisfied with him in a row, and had also entered the capital of Tubo. Before he ascended the throne and became emperor, he felt that the name of the capital of Tubo was not satisfactory, so he changed the capital to Tiandi City. This great ambition sounded very much anyway.

Apart from Zuo Xianwang, the second most powerful general, was General Yash. He was the leader of the southeast of the Tubo Kingdom, with a force of no less than 100,000. Dodio entered the capital and was preparing to inherit the throne. He was the first to stand up to oppose it. Dodio did not give him face and directly declared him a rebel.

Yashi was sitting in a thousand miles and had a hundred thousand troops. Of course, he was not afraid of Dodio. Half a month ago, he issued a manifesto saying that he would lead his army to the capital to support the royal family and assist the young master. But if the young master was really so easy to assist, he would not make Dodio so rampant. The so-called young master was not the son of the Tubo king at all. The two sons of the Tubo king were intercepted and killed halfway through their fiefdom. The two brothers thought that whoever ran faster would be the king of Tubo, but they did not expect that whoever ran faster would die first. As for whom he took the action, no one would admit that the young master was the grandson of the Tubo king and was rescued from the fiefdom mansion by general Yashi.

Speaking of this Youxian King who had contact with Kanjiuzhou, he was a little embarrassed. He had only more than 10,000 soldiers and only a dozen generals. Moreover, the place he was in charge was close to Ningdi. It had been very barren for so many years. It was not that the land was barren, but because it was too close to Daning, so he dared not live in it. Even if he ordered many serfs to be captured, he would run away soon.

Later, the Youxian King followed the advice of the adviser. All farmers who came here to farm could get their slaves. In the first year, they could receive grain seeds from Youxian King for free. After the grain was harvested, they only needed to return the same amount of seeds. In the second year, they began to collect about one-third of the grain production. This condition was relatively extremely attractive, so in recent years, the fief of Modio of Youxian King had a little more complexion.

The difference between him and other Tubo nobles is that he is friendly to Ning people. If the Tubo king had not been so eager to think that he could break through Ningxijiang with tens of thousands of Tubo troops, he would not have been so sad. He was not a direct descendant of the royal family. This Youxian King was inherited from his ancestors. His ancestors were once a branch of the royal family, but their blood ties had long faded. The Western Regions were in chaos, and his ancestors led their troops to expand the territory of the Tubo Kingdom west by more than a quarter. The contribution was too great, so they were granted the Youxian King and inherited the inheritance.

By Modio's generation, his original fief was deprived of it and was given to the Zuoxian King Dodio. He was forced to go to a place close to the border. Because of his good fighting skills, the Tubo king did not like him and had to use him, hoping that he could block Ningren.

After being suppressed, Modio was disheartened and thought that it would be fine if he lived his current life. However, after the death of the Tubo king, Dodio, the Zuoxian King, sent someone to send him an order to enter the capital. He was not stupid. Of course, he knew that he would not return. Even if he had no intention of becoming an emperor, he would be regarded as an opponent by Dodio as his opponent, so he simply began to build an army, but the fiefdom was so large and there were so many serfs. He pieced it together, but only more than ten thousand troops were more than ten thousand.

Before Shen Leng came, General Tan Jiuzhou said that Modio would definitely send someone to pick him up, because it was not someone else who gave Modio's advice to expand his strength, but Tan Jiuzhou was instructing him to respond.

Tan Jiuzhou naturally did not regard Modio as a friend, but he deliberately supported Modio to confront the Tubo royal court. Tan Jiuzhou had something to tell him before Shen Leng set out that there was also an insider he sent by Dodio. It was this insider who gave him an idea to ask him to summon Modio to the capital and then design it to get rid of it. The situation in Tubo is so chaotic, and it has a lot to do with the people in Tan Jiuzhou.

It can be said that Modio has made up his mind to fight with Dodio. It was the result of the general talking about Jiuzhou's fueling the fire behind him. His Majesty Daning was furious because Shen Leng left Houque Kingdom and wanted to write a letter to scold Jiuzhou. In the end, the letter only had eight words... Let's talk well, I can trust you.

It is precisely because His Majesty Emperor Daning is aware of people. If Tan Jiuzhou is not a qualified general and is not as far-sighted as he cannot plan, how could he be assured and handed over the Western Xinjiang to Tan Jiuzhou with confidence?

Managing Western Xinjiang is not just about making the enemy unable to fight.

But after so many years of talking about Kyushu, Gallocluo is here.

This is also why Chen Leng said that he would lead his army to Tubo and talk about Jiuzhou without any particular objection. In Tubo, he had more than one person in the inner circle. There were others around Zuo Xianwang, and there were also his people around You Xianwang, and even his people around the royal family in the capital. The only person who did not put the inner circle was General Yashi. That person hated Daning. Not to mention that there were Ning people around him, even if he heard someone mention Ning people, he would be furious. He once said that his greatest wish was to lead his army to conquer Chang'an and destroy Ning people.

When Emperor Daning heard Yashi's grand wish, he couldn't help but smile and said that very famous saying... God's fairness is reflected in giving anyone the right to brag at will.

The border of Tubo.

Chen Leng and his army were waiting outside the city wall for half a day. The person sent had not replied to him, so Chen Leng's patience became less great. He was not a person who could keep patience with people he didn't like. If he wanted to give a ranking of people he didn't like, the Ali people were the first, the Tubo people could rank second, the Black Warriors were only the third, and the fourth was the Bohai people.

Just when Shen Leng ordered the army to gesture, the city gate opened. Chen Leng still thought that the right wise king Modio should still be swaying, and he didn't quite believe that Daning could still divide his troops to support him at this moment, so Chen Leng planned to let the soldiers gesture and let the Tubo people guarding the city feel what power is.

The city gate opened, Chen Leng led people into Tubo. Yang Henshui, the general of Geng's camp, led the team to advance, Chen Leng was in the middle, and Luo Kedi, the general of Wu's camp, led the team to serve as the back team.

Chen Ran sat on the horse's back and was thinking about something. Chen Leng glanced at him: "What are you thinking?"

"I think of the name of the Tubo people. I heard a joke that it was a place where a child was born. My father ran out immediately and named the child whatever he heard. So at first I thought about it. I didn't know what was like in Tubo? Later, I thought about it but couldn't match it. Look, Modio... If you say it in our dialect, you just don't have a dick... If according to the joke, his father saw something when he rushed out."

Chen Leng thought for a while: "He is fine. Think about what did Prince Left see when his father rushed out?"

Chen Ran laughed: "But think about the Tubo general Yashi, didn't his father just see a duck shit when he rushed out?"

Chen Ran thought for a while: "What you said may be correct."

At this moment, the welcome officials sent by the Right King Modio, arrived and ran over quickly. When he saw the cold, he was full of fear. Modio was really confused. He was not only worried about whether Ningren could really support him to become the new Tubo king, but he was also worried that once Ningren was put in, it would be easy to invite the wolf into the house. It was easy to send the gods to the gods. If Ningjun entered the country, what could he do?

The people of Kenning were his only hope. After a long time of struggle, he finally chose to believe in Tan Jiuzhou.

"General...General."

The Tubo officials who were greeted were knotted with their tongues: "His Royal Highness has sincerely held a banquet in Luhu City waiting for the general to arrive."

Chen Leng nodded: "How far is it from here to Luhu City?"

"It's going to be three days."

"Then your prince is indeed very sincere."

Chen Leng looked at Chen Ran, and Chen Ran smiled and said, "If we have three days, the food will be rotten..."

Chen Leng leaned over to look at the official: "I am not a person who has many things, nor is it that much particular. I eat very casually, mainly because I don't like eating rotten food, so please go back and tell your prince and let him come here to treat me to dinner. I want to eat fresh ones."

Chen Leng waved his hand: "I ordered the Wu character camp to occupy the city wall, and the city gate must be in our own hands. I ordered the Geng character camp to build a camp in front."

Chen Leng jumped off the war horse and moved the event: "Let your prince come faster, I'm hungry."
