But the Shaanxi border of the Ming Dynasty is too far from Dingzhou of Xixia, and there are large areas of desert and mountainous areas in the middle.

Duoyou said: "Kill them all the way! Among the four tribes in Dingzhou, Xiaofu's tribe is the weakest. They dare not rebel with us. They also suffered a disaster this time and were looted by Ren Dejing's troops. After we came down from the mountain, we immediately went

Xiao A's father and son's tribe, whether forced or persuaded, let them set off together to strengthen their strength. Then we bypassed Shengwei City. The troops in the city were just in time to fight. If no troops were sent in the city, we left. We looted and coerced along the way, and from the desert

Go through it!"

A nobleman said: "It's not easy to walk in the desert."

"You can go, there are only two roads I know that can cross the desert!" Duoyou said.

In desperate situation, everyone was persuaded by Duoxie.

They took the old, weak, women and children down the mountain and went straight to kill the little father and son's territory.

The chief of Xiao'a'er's tribe did not want to rebel together, but he shared the same hatred with the two tribes, so he gave them the few remaining grains to entertain them.

While eating, Duoyou suddenly rose up with a knife and controlled the chief of Xiaofu's tribe, forcing his entire clan to rebel and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Since Ren Dejing's counter-rebellion army was in the south, they swaggered around Shengwei City, plundered the people of the Mianzhen tribe in the countryside outside the city, and freed all the slaves of the Mianzhen tribe.

Some slaves were captured Han Chinese, and some slaves were simply snatched from Xixia.

Duoyou had long since freed the slaves in his tribe. He said to the newly rescued slaves in front of him: "You can escape on your own, or you can follow me and join the Ming Dynasty. Those who are willing to follow me will all stand by the river.

"

Everyone walked to the river.

The chief of Mianzhong tribe stood at the top of the city, looking at the rebels outside the city with great anger.

Suddenly a merchant asked for an audience and was taken to the chief of the Zhenbu tribe. He said, "Du Tong, I have some friendship with the bandit chief. Perhaps I can persuade him to surrender."

The chief of Mianzhenbu shook his head: "There is no way he can surrender."

The merchant smiled and said: "You can lie to him that there is food and grass in a certain place, and lead an army to set up an ambush there."

"That's a good idea," asked the chief of the Mianzhen tribe. "Where are you a merchant? Which tribe do you belong to?"

The merchant replied: "My ancestral home is in Baichi City. It has been two generations since I moved to Yanzhou City. Now I do not belong to any tribe. The Longzhou Dutong Army sent people to transport cloth and tea to Yanzhou. I can eat some Ming Dynasty products and transship them.

Go to Dingzhou to make a little money. This year I just shipped a batch and sold it, but two tribes in Dingzhou rebelled, and I didn't have time to bring the money back to Yanzhou."

The chief of Mianzhen tribe sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that he was engaged in long-distance trade, and that he also rented a private house for a long time to store goods and money.

After some discussion, the chief of Mianzhen tribe withheld the merchant's money.

The businessman, with only a few confidants, quietly caught up with Duoyou's troops, and was quickly tied up as a spy.

Seeing Duoyou, the businessman immediately revealed his identity: "My Chinese name was Zhu Baicheng a few years ago, which is the same surname as the Ming Emperor. I am from the Tubo tribe, but my ancestors were actually Han people. The Ming Emperor said that we should be recognized as such.

The ancestors return to the clan. My wife, children, and children are all in Lanzhou, where there is the Shaanxi Intelligence Office under the Ming Dynasty's Military Department. Can the leader understand these words?"

Duoyou said suspiciously: "Are you from Emperor Zhu?"

Zhu Baicheng said: "I only took my confidants out of the city. All the people and money in the city were detained by Dingzhou. He set up an ambush at Luotuo Port and asked me to lead you there. Don't wander around, you should go around.

Camel Port, cross the desert and mountains to Xiazhou. Xiao Heda of Xiazhou has secretly defected to the Ming Dynasty, and he will welcome you to join forces."

Duoyou was a little hesitant.

Zhu Baicheng said: "I will stay with the leader. If I lie and deceive, the leader will chop me to death with a knife."

Duoyou suddenly put on a smile and spread his arms to hug you: "How could I doubt you? I was going to turn myself in!"

The next day, Duoyou sent a group of cavalry to burn, kill and loot in the direction of Luotuo Port, but the real main force went in the opposite direction.

When they reached the edge of the desert, they stopped to wait for the cavalry to return, and then plunged into the desert.

After crossing the desert, they raided Huangyangping on the edge of the desert. They robbed livestock, freed slaves, and headed northeast with great fanfare, but rushed to the southwest at night.

Then they raided Anqingze (Wushen Banner) and came to Wangting Town with the loot.

"Don't burn, kill and loot here, it's already Xiao Heda's territory!" Zhu Baicheng reminded.

Outside Xiazhou City, Xiao Heda personally came out to greet him and said with a smile on his face: "What a good boy, you brought so many people here from the desert."

The core of Duoyou's command consisted of three tribes, as well as slaves rescued along the way, and some scattered herdsmen. Counting the old, weak, women and children, there were more than 10,000 people.

Zhu Baicheng said: "General Xiao, the Ming Dynasty has sent troops to the Weifu Army Division, and there will be a war here in Hengshan in the spring. You only need to raise troops to defend this winter, and in the spring you can join forces with the Ming Dynasty troops to attack the Xiangyou Army Division."

"What are you guarding? You must take the initiative to send troops to seize Xiazhou Iron and Steel Industry!" Xiao Heda said with a ferocious expression.

He has had enough resentment over the years and can't wait to jump back.

Xiazhou Iron Smelting Affairs is the largest iron smelting organization in Xixia. It used to be under the jurisdiction of Xiao Heda, but it was taken away by Brother Richard's cronies a few years ago.

If you capture Xiazhou Iron Smelting Bureau, you can get a lot of soldiers and armor!
