Dingyou (twelve) in the first year of Yuanyou.

A cold wind began to blow on the plateau mountains and rivers in late autumn.

The herders began to drive away livestock and move towards the autumn and winter pastures.

Qingyi Jiegui Zhang rode a horse and looked at the huge herd of animals moving from the mountains, rivers and canyons.

A huge herd of hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep is surging, moving towards mountain pastures with lower altitudes.

However, before this huge migratory herd, there was a roadblock.

That is Xige City (now Guide County, Qinghai Province) guarding the Longyangxia Pass.

This city developed from Chika City during the Tubo Empire era.

Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been a strategic location.

After the founding of the Tubo country in Qingtang, it was granted the title of the younger brother of Dashi Yonglong.

Now, it is in the hands of Xibawen, the grandson of solid Yonglong.

Theoretically, Xibawen is the master of Qingyi's ghost-killing chapter.

However, after Zhashiyonglong's death, his successor's eldest son, Biluza, was a man who believed in Buddhism and had a bad mind.

When he was in power, he ignored all the big and small things inside and outside Xige City, and only offered sacrifices to the Buddha sincerely. In the end, he simply became a monk to practice.

A few years ago, Biluza died and Xibawen succeeded him.

Like his father, Xibawen was also a Buddhist and planned to learn from Biluza as the manager of the hand, so he entrusted all the affairs of all and big to his uncle Langezhan.

Lange occupied this person with a great desire for power, and soon got angry with Qingyi.

Qing Yi Jie Guizhang didn't spoil him, so the two had great conflicts.

The year before yesterday, Zanpu died suddenly in Qingtang City.

Aligu established himself as Zanpu, and Qingyi's ghost-killing seal immediately took the lead.

With Zamp's support, Qingyi Jieguizhang simply sent a war in Xige City, killed Langezhan, and drove Xibawen away by the way - don't you like chanting scriptures? You are free now.

However, Qingyi never dreamed of the ghost sign.

Xibawen, who was driven out of Xige City, was like a stray dog, hid in the mountain for a few months and actually killed him again!

The shameless bastard Zhongyi, the magistrate of Hezhou in the Southern Barbarians, took the elite soldiers under his command, dressed in Tubo people's clothes, and under the banner of Xibawen. With the assistance of Mubo, Longbu, Xina, Xinmu and other troops, he set up an ambush in Longyang Gorge, annihilated an elite force under his command, and then took the opportunity to retake Xige City.

Then……

The nightmare of Qingyi's ghost seal began to follow.

Xibawen in Xige City and Wenba River in Miaochuan City fell to the Nanman.

With the cooperation of these two bastards, the Southern Barbarians were like fish in water on this plateau.

They no longer have to worry about not being able to find a place.

Guides who are familiar with the situation know the location of each pasture on this plateau and the direction of each mountain.

When they come to the plateau, they are just like going home.

The most troublesome thing is because of Xibawen and Wen Xixin's status.

One is the nephew of Yeshila, and the other is the son of Wen Qi.

Among the Qing Tang tribes, they have strong appeal.

Especially Xibawen, his father, Biluza, had a very high reputation among the vast number of lower-class herders and serfs because of his worship of Buddhism and his life.

Also because when he was there, he was addicted to practicing and ignored his affairs.

The leaders of various tribes ruled by Xige City were very popular.

So, it was Qingyi's turn to make a ghost seal and swallow the evil consequences.

From November last year to the present, the Southern Barbarians have been constantly cooperating with Xibawen, attacking his territory and tribes in the name of striking traitors, and plundering population and livestock under the banner of Buddha under the name of "save danger and rescue".

At the same time, they took advantage of the drought last year and this year to lure and coerce those small tribes to go to Xizhou and Lanzhou under the control of the Southern Barbarians.

Therefore, on the territory controlled by Qingyi Jiegui Zhang, a large number of herders and serfs fled.

In less than a year, at least more than 100,000 people arrived in the southern barbarian territory either passively or actively.

Qing Yi's ghost seal is the limit to being able to endure it until now.

If you hold on, don't say he won't agree.

The nobles below him will not agree.

Because the season has changed.

The plateau will soon snow, and livestock must migrate to traditional overwintering pastures before it snows.

These are not hundreds or thousands of livestock.

You can find a place to graze.

Hundreds of thousands of livestock need a vast pasture.

There are not many such ranches controlled by the Sixth Ministry of Qingtang.

For Qingyi Ghost Chains, there is only one choice - through Longyang Gorge, to the vast grassland between Xige City and Fugong City in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

This is one of the traditional overwintering ranches.

The other one is now in the hands of the Nanman.

That is Xizhou and Minzhou in the Wei River Basin!

"Jiewa, Liang Yifu's troops have really gathered in Tiandu Mountain?" Qingyi Jieguizhang asked the heir who had just returned from the Dangxiang people.

In the spring of this year, Jiewai was sent to Xixia by Qingyi Jieguzhang, serving as a proton to win the trust of Dangxiang.

It was not until a few days ago that he came back under the orders of Liang Yifu and conveyed to him the clear meaning of Liang Yifu's alliance and attacking the Southern Barbarians.

With Liang Yifu's promise, Qing Yi made a ghost seal and did not even go to Qingtang City to ask for instructions, and directly took his headquarters south.

no way!

The temperature on the plateau dropped very quickly.

If you don’t go down the mountain, if a blizzard occurs, many people and animals will freeze to death.

Jie Wazi lowered his head and replied, "Father, I came back from Tiandu Mountain."

"When I left, Dangxiang's troops were already gathering towards Tiandu Mountain."

"The Liang Xiangguo also took me to see the granary they built at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, which was full of food and grass."

"In addition, I also saw with my own eyes that a large group of iron kites camped at the foot of Tiandu Mountain."

Qing Yi Jiegui Zhang nodded, but he was still uneasy.

So, he needs to confirm it again and again.

So, he ordered a nobleman behind him: "Zhuo Luo, bring a hundred light cavalry and take a look outside Xige City first."

"Remember, don't disturb people."

"No!" A stout Tubo nobleman took the order and left.

Soon, he took more than a hundred light cavalry and galloped down the hills and headed forward along the magnificent river valleys and desolate fields.

...

Qing Yi's actions of making ghost seals can naturally not be concealed by Qingtang City.

At this moment, the owner of Qingtang City, Tubo Zanpu, the prince of Wuwei County of the Song Dynasty, and the leader of Miaochuan, Aligu, was lying on the thigh of his adoptive mother, Qiao.

"Ghost Zhang led his troops south." Aligu said softly.

Qiao stroked the adopted son's hair and whispered: "Will there be any woe to this?"

"If this is the case, the uncle of the Han family in the Central Plains will be angry and the Dangxiang will attack our Qingtang in the future, and the uncle of the Han family will ignore him, what should we do?" Qiao said worriedly.

Don’t look at the past few decades, the Tubo of Qingtang won more than defeats in the war with the Dangxiang people.

However, all Qing Tang ministries knew that this was not really possible to defeat Dangxiang.

It is the uncle of the Han family in the south who was transfusion of blood and also helped them to restrain many of Dangxiang's troops.

Aligu laughed: "No."

"As long as Guizhang can win, the Han uncle will not take this matter seriously."

Qingtang Tubo was the uncle of the Han family in the Central Plains and the only ally who could attack Dangxiang from the side.

As long as Dangxiang is not destroyed, the Tubo tribes in Qingtang City can rest assured.

So, even if he does it out of line.

In the face of the overall situation, the Han uncle in the Central Plains could only pinch his nose and forgive him.

"If Guizhang is defeated..." Ali Gu Youyou said: "That's what Guizhang did behind my back."
