In the ruins on the platform.

In a newly built tent, Sun Xiurong, Yang Shouyu, Nie Xudanxi, Hu Yanyun and Li Mi were all present.

Yang Shouyu pointed to Nie Xu Danxi and said, "Dalang, this is Wei Long Danxi, a son of the royal family of Wei Long Kingdom. He is the only royal family member who escaped from the entire Wei Long Kingdom. He was going north to go to the snow valley to seek refuge in our country, but I accidentally met them in the snow valley."

Then he pointed at Sun Xiurong, Hu Yanyun, Li Mi and others and said: "Danxi, this is the cavalry gang Changsun Xiurong, the strong crossbow gang Changsun Hu Yanyun, and the nobleman of our country, Li Mi."

Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "Prince Danxiu, I have heard that you understand Chinese, so I said directly. Larudoji, the Tubo general who guards Wei Long Kingdom, is dead, and there are no leaders in all the dragons. I just discussed with everyone that I can help you wait until you return to Wei Long Kingdom and expel the Tubo people. Look..."

Nie Xu Danxi felt aroused. After this disaster, he suddenly understood many things. After more than 100 years of operation by the Tubo people, although there were still some people who were interested in the Xiangxiong Kingdom, they were definitely a minority. If he rashly broke in there, the entire army would be destroyed.

However, it would be different if we took over the Wei Long Kingdom. Wei Long Kingdom and Xiangxiong's old place were separated by a snow-capped mountain with an average altitude of about 6,000 meters, which was almost impossible to cross in winter. In other words, after he took over the Wei Long Kingdom, he had a buffer period ranging from half a year to eight months.

If it were half a year, he could unify more than a dozen small countries west of Wei Long Kingdom and east of Dabolu, then there would be at least tens of thousands of elite troops and block the mountain passes entered by the Tubo people with three thousand troops. If he could delay the Tubo people's pace near the mountain pass for three to five years, he would have a great chance of conquering Dabolu. If he succeeded, there would be 30,000 victorious soldiers.

Thirty thousand victorious soldiers almost reached half of the previous Xiangxiong Kingdom!

What's more, from the west to the Xiaobolu and from the east to the Weilong Kingdom, they were once vassal states of the Xiangxiong Kingdom. The current king is also a descendant of the Nie Xu family of the Xiangxiong Kingdom. He is a legitimate branch and has half a year to do it. Things have not reached the final desperate situation, so there is still a lot of potential!

The most important thing is that the upper classes of these countries believe in Bon religion that was passed down from Xiangxiong’s former place, and Buddhism and other places did not become a climate there.

Hearing Sun Xiurong say this, Nie Xu Danxi said: "Thank you, the commander, but since Larudoji is dead, I can take over Wei Longguo alone..."

"Oh?", Sun Xiurong, Nie Feng, and Li Mi all cast doubtful eyes at him.

Only Nie Xudanxiang took out something from her chest. It was an object carved from white jade. The jade was crystal clear and water seemed to flow inside. The base was a lotus, and five swastikas were embedded on it!

As soon as he saw this, Nie Feng seemed to have a sledgehammer hit his heart, his face flushed, and his mouth was stammering, but he couldn't say anything.

Soon, he crawled in front of Nie Xu Danxi, kissing his boots, not knowing what he was saying, and Nie Xu Danxi just stroked his head and comforted him softly.

After a while, Nie Feng returned to peace. He knelt beside Nie Xu Danxiu and did not move. Nie Xu Danxiu said, "I'm sure you don't care. In the former Xiangxiong Kingdom, the king also served as the throne of the leader of the Bon Sect. This thing is called Yongzhong All Things, which is the scepter and magic weapon of the leader. After the Tubo people invaded Xiangxiong's old land, this thing fell into my hands. I originally thought that this thing would never see the light of the sky in my life, but I didn't expect that Mr. Sun would remind me if he said this."

"Most of Larudoji's subordinates are Xiangxiong people, and they also believe in Bon religion, and even more so in Weilong Kingdom. If I take out this thing, unless a believer like Larudoji who has converted to Buddhism, his subordinates will not disobey me..."

"Why is this?" Sun Xiurong was still a little hesitant. Just eighteen cavalry wanted to take down Wei Longguo, which had thousands of troops?

"It is like this. In the Bon tradition, the relationship between subordinates and masters cannot be changed once they are established, unless the master dies or abandons affiliation."

"The faith of the Tubo people was passed down from Xiangxiong Kingdom. After they unified the entire plateau, they realized that it was inappropriate. So they consciously introduced Buddhism to offset the influence of Xiangxiong Bon religion. Although people like Larudoji converted to Buddhism on the surface, the Bon religion that had been passed down for thousands of years still had a greater impact on him. Therefore, his subordinates still regarded him as their master."

"Do not hesitate to die for the master, and you can reach the master's status in the next life. This is one of the core teachings of Bon religion. Now that Larudoji is dead, I will definitely surrender to me once I show the holy objects of this religion, unless he wants to be punished by God."

"You may be confused. Since there is this object, why didn't you take it out earlier? It's because of the existence of Qiongbuzanpo and Larudoji. The main reason is that they exist. Between the holy objects and the master, they can only choose the master. If they are in the old place of Xiangxiong, Larudoji has heirs, and they can still serve the heirs again. But it is different in Weilong Kingdom, because after Larudoji leaves Xiangxiong's old place and arrives in Weilong Kingdom, according to the rules of fleeing Tubo, the heirs cannot appear with him, and they must still stay in Qiongbuzanpo!"

Now Sun Xiurong understood a little. On the plateau, or on the plateau at this time, the influence of religion is much greater than that of later generations. Since he said that, he probably has a great grasp.

He said, "Prince, how many people have you lost in today's battle?"

Nie Xudanxiang's face showed a gloomy look, "about thirty people"

"How do you plan to bury them..."

Nie Xu Danxiu felt a sudden mental state, and he quickly understood what Sun Xiurong meant.

"No, they are all warriors who have followed this king for many years. Naturally, they have to perform sky burial, snow valley, and high platform for them. It is a good place to implement sky burial..."

Sun Xiurong thought to himself: "If he gave up the bodies without hesitation, I would have some doubts about whether he could take down Wei Longguo. His words showed his deep feelings for those who have always followed him. Without these heads, how can I explain to Bian Lingcheng?"

As if he felt Sun Xiurong's anxiety, Nie Xudanxi said: "Although the people who followed Larudoji still believe in Bon religion, they have betrayed the leader after all. Unless the leader personally forgives him, he will never be able to reincarnate. If you are willing, I can modify it a little and give it to you."

This is what only Sun Xiurong and Yang Shouyu can understand. Otherwise, compared with the regular army, the horse thief is not worth anything at all, but Nie Xu Danxi’s true meaning is: “These Larudoji’s men who died in battle are modified and turned into horse thiefs, then chop off their heads and take them back, because Nie Xu Danxi and others were covered in black face scarves when attacking Bian Lingcheng, and their faces didn’t matter.”

When it came to Nie Feng, Li Mi, Hu Yanyun and others' ears, it was: "These people are all Bon scholars. Although they have apostate, they still believe in this religion. As the leader of the church, Danxiang will definitely make some religious modifications to them."

That night, everyone camped in the ruins on the second high platform.

Because he "she hit it off at first sight" with Prince Danxiu, under Sun Xiurong's "sincere invitation", Danxiu and him had a long chat in Sun Xiurong's tent. At midnight, most people fell asleep. There was no other scene in the ruins except for the fire and the sound of wind.

Yang Shouyu knew that Sun Xiurong was going to have a close conversation with Nie Xudanxi, so he took the initiative to apply for an errand on the night, so he was patrolling near Sun Xiurong's tent.

"Dalang"

"Erlang"

At this time, the two of them called each other in the order of sworn brothers.

Sun Xiurong said, "Erlang, are you really sure?"

Nie Xudanxi nodded, "If Larudoji is still there, or the king of Weilong Kingdom and his family is still there, even if I take out the holy objects, it will be useless. However, the royal family of Weilong Kingdom has been destroyed by Larudoji, and Larudoji himself is dead. I am the direct descendant of the last king of Xiangxiong Kingdom, and my bloodline is purer than any descendant of the royal family of Xiangxiong Kingdom in the upper reaches of the Indus River. With this thing, I am 80% sure."

Sun Xiurong nodded, "Then I wish my second brother a success. Pay attention. After you succeed, you must first seal the mountain pass to the old place of Xiangxiong. Build a fortress in a dangerous place, just use two or three hundred people. As long as it can hinder the Tubo people for a year or two, you have holy objects in your hand, I believe that you will soon unify the upper reaches of the Indus River."

"When you repel the Tubo people, you can attack Dabolu. If you succeed by luck, even the Tubo people will be impressed by you. At that time, most of them will not attack in large quantities, but will marry the princess to you as a sign of restraint. At that time, I will feel at ease for you."

"real?"

"Erlang, I am a small leader now. Even if I kill Larudogi this time, where can I go? How could you occupy the entire upper reaches of the Indus River? Of course, it is true. If you can't survive, I hope to take in when you escape to you."

Nie Xu Danxi stared at him for a long time, then sighed for a long time, "Dalang, it's not that I don't trust you. Although your status is low, I know your ability. Don't say these words. Your future is probably only four words to describe."

"oh?"

"Unlimited"

"hehe"

"Dalang, don't talk about it." Nie Xu Danxi handed a package beside Sun Xiurong and "unlocked it"

Sun Xiurong untied it as he said. As soon as he opened it, a dazzling light shot out from it.

I saw a pile of golden cakes inside, and a very strange-shaped jade artifact, like a fairy peach, crystal clear. Under the reflection of the dim bonfire, a fiery red butterfly was spreading its wings and flying high, as if it was about to break free from the jade artifact.

"Dalang, after intercepting Bian Lingcheng, I seized 60% of the stolen goods here, and the Turks divided 40% of them, mostly ser stones, gold and silver utensils, copper coins, etc. Among them, I replaced most of the heavy copper coins with urgently needed food, clothing, weapons, etc. Among the gold and silver utensils, the most special thing is this thing. We call it peach blossom stone, which is the best among all jades. If you play with it yourself, hide it."

"If you want to seek credit from Bian Lingcheng, you can present it to him and you can fully gain his trust, because such objects are special even in all Bian Lingcheng's things."

"There are ten gold cakes. Have you seen the text on it? It was created by Yuchi, the king of Khotan. Each weighs one pound, and a total of ten pieces. This is ten pounds. According to the current price, one ounce of gold can be exchanged for ten jin of copper coins, and one pound is one hundred jin, and ten pieces are worth one thousand jin"

"It was probably the king of Khotan who took it out to bribe Bian Lingcheng."

"As long as you don't take it out and use it in recent years, you can take it out and use it openly after Bian Lingcheng is transferred back to the mainland, which is also a reward for your return to the news."

"Dalang, if you can't stay in the Tang Dynasty from now on, even if you come here, I will raise my hands and walk back to greet you!"
