"It's okay, this is a copy in itself, even if you take it, it would be nice if it could help." Niu Jinda waved his hand and said.

"Only the seven cities of Nanzhao are left with the Mengshe Zhao, Shi Langzhao occupies two cities, and the others are occupied by the family, and there are several tribes, also known as the country, but now they are all hiding in the mountains." Li Xiaogong helped introduce on the side, obviously he arrived early and had done his homework.

"Thank you for the reminder!" Feng Daiwen nodded gratefully and said, after all, with their introduction, it can save a lot of time to investigate, if the family provides the news, whether it is reliable or not will be discounted.

"The family doesn't talk to each other, it's saying that the old man is still waiting for you to send someone over." Li Xiaogong waved his hand disappreciatively.

"Nanzhao covers a very wide area, many places are high mountains, uninhabited, and some places have perennial snow on the top of the mountain." Niu Jinda obviously put a lot of effort into Nanzhao's investigation.

Of course, Feng Daiwen knew that even in later generations, it was also vast and sparsely populated, and said with a smile at the moment: "Local governance is the matter of Liu Dewei, the governor of Nanzhao, and the governor of Liu, the little nephew only needs to settle the family, and it is okay to say that the land is wide and sparsely populated, and the Tang Dynasty will slowly explore it in the future." ”

"It seems that the virtuous nephew has already had a draft, and the old man and others will not say much, and today a certain family is the east, which is to catch the wind and wash the dust, and forget the virtuous nephew to return victorious as soon as possible." Niu Jinda saw that Feng Dai's bra was successful, so he didn't say much.

"Thank you two uncles for your hospitality, but the little nephew is disrespectful!" Feng Daiwen hurriedly thanked him.

………………

Although Feng Daiwen had expected that the Nanzhao Road was difficult to travel, there was almost no road, but fortunately, the family had already opened up a road along which he could barely march.

High mountains and dense forests abound, and there are many mountains that are completely bare, but fortunately, the telescope will not affect the spies.

From Xichang, all the way forward, it took a whole month to get close to Erhai Lake, and the seven cities of Nanzhao are all built on Erhai Lake, and there are many small tribes on both sides of the river, all of which are built on the edge of this inland lake called Erhai Lake.

Erhai Lake is very large, with a radius of 700 li, and the water is also very deep, except for the groundwater, everything else is melted by the snow on the mountain, so the water is not only clear all year round, but also the water temperature is low.

In fact, the so-called Nanzhao, that is, because of the Mengshe Zhao, Shi Lang Zhao is located in the south of Erhai Lake, and has more exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, so it is called Nanzhao, and there are also Mengxi Zhao, Yue Xi Zhao, Langqiong Zhao, and Xuan Zhao, collectively known as the six Nanzhao Edicts.

No matter any city, it must be built according to water, water is the source of life, and there are few rivers in a radius of thousands of miles near Nanzhao, human beings rely on many freshwater lakes to survive, and there are many small tribes and countries on the shore of Erhai Lake, which covers an extremely wide area, which is very normal.

And there are many tribes here, and everyone almost doesn't have much contact, even if there is occasional contact, it is to compete for resources, after all, for this kind of still very primitive people, everything is to have enough food and enough living space.

Therefore, the way the Nanzhao tribes intersect is to fight, maybe just to compete for some prey, for the silver mine, in fact, they don't care very much, after all, the locals only dig out to make some jewelry when they have time.

Other times, the locals don't care about this kind of item that can't be eaten or drunk, on the contrary, they are more interested in copper and iron ore, after all, copper and iron ore has always been harder, and it is the best material for making weapons.

"Ge Laozi, it's finally here!" Feng Daiwen looked at the Erhai Lake under the mountain, let out a sigh of relief, and scolded viciously.

A month's march was really monotonous, except for hurrying, or hurrying, not a single figure could be seen, occasionally there were one or two small villages, but they were also uninhabited, and it was estimated that they were either arrested or escaped.

Feng Daiwen raised the telescope and looked around, and could clearly see a city in the distance, the city was not big, and it was only a mile away from the eye, and there were constantly people coming in and out of it, and there was no Han nationality in the clothes, so it should be one of Shi Lang Zhao or Mengshe Zhao.

"Onward! Camp two miles outside the city, and go to the city to give me a commandment! Feng Daiwen raised his hand and ordered loudly.

There were more than 20,000 people in this expedition to Erhai, of which only 15,000 were capable of fighting, and the others were later personnel, and the most they brought were supplies, various medicinal materials, and canned food. There are also many craftsmen and medical officers, who can ensure a stable life for the army in any situation.

Choose a camp at the foot of the mountain, march down the camp, not casually can go down, you must inspect the surroundings, the mountain to see whether the mountain is solid, in case of heavy rain slopes, but also to get water conveniently.

The trees and weeds around the camp are all cut down to prevent fire attacks, and secondly, to have a wide field of vision, so it is not easy to be sneak attacked. Although facing a small country in Nanzhao and not having a strong army, Feng Daiwen still meticulously completed the camp.

After the camp was established, Feng Daiwen sent a scout horse to explore the terrain within a radius of ten miles, and only then did people notify the tribe ahead.

Ahead is the edict of Mengshe, for the Tang Dynasty army that came down from the mountain and set up camp with great fanfare, they have already found out, and they are nervous when they hear that it is a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty who is coming, and they hurriedly bring the clan elders to visit.

After all, the front turn is only a few families, in their imagination it is a very powerful family, has wiped out many tribes, this time when you look at the plastic surgery, you can realize that the powerful army is even more afraid to slacken.

And for the rich and powerful Central Plains, many tribes who understand it are very yearning for it, and they can't live in it, and Shelong, the patriarch of Mengshezhao, is such a person, he has gone to Queensland many times to trade, and he has also been to Shuzhong, and he is very yearning for the richness of the Central Plains, so he is also the first tribe to take the lead in joining the Wei family.

"Mengshezhao Patriarch Shelong, lead the three elders of the clan to meet the chief administrator!" Sheron took three middle-aged men into the big tent and saluted Feng Daiwen, who was dressed in military uniform.

Under his influence, many people in the clan were proud to speak Chinese and regarded them as noble.

"Patriarch excuse me! You may be seated! Feng Daiwen looked at a few people, and he has always had a good impression of the nation of the same country in later generations, and he habitually said with a gentle smile.

Several people were dressed in sackcloth, not tall or short, and their bodies were burly, but their faces were exposed to the plateau sun all year round, and they looked dark and purple.

"The chief manager has come from afar, and he has worked hard all the way, so it is better to go into the city to rest." Shelong was furious when he was looked at by Feng Daiwen, and he didn't know how this person who was obviously a military general would treat the tribe, so he had to be cautious and asked tentatively.
