On the second day, the enthronement ceremony of King Zhangzhung was officially held in the palace of King Zhangzhung in the surrendered city.

The leaders of the Xiangxiong of the Ten Dongdai gathered together, the representatives of the Qiang tribe who were buying ordnance and food in the surrendered city also gave gifts, and the little Dorje, accompanied by his mother, completed the bloody and ancient religious ceremony surrounded by the Bon gurus, and officially became the king of the Zhangzhung Kingdom and the master of the land of the Ten Dongdai.

Today is the day of Dorje's accession to the throne, but the focus is on Ma Luan. He just sat there calmly, waiting for the ceremony to end, and it was he who came first to see the leaders of the various tribes, and after the visit, no one dared to look at him more.

Yesterday's events were too shocking, and a tower of more than 10,000 heads was standing outside the gates of the surrendered city. The tall man sat here, and the elephant head seemed to be able to feel the bloody aura emanating from him.

Of course, Ma Lan washed cleanly, and it was just a feeling. The main side of Anxi has been for so long, and he has the power of life and death in his hands, so he naturally has a kind of prestige.

The Zhangxiong chieftains met the new king and said some words of allegiance, and the ceremony officially ended. The guests bowed to Ma Lan again and withdrew from the palace, while all the leaders of the Zhangzhung Kingdom who participated in the ceremony were left behind by Ma Lu.

I don't know what will happen, and the leaders are a little apprehensive. As far as they are concerned, they chose to wait and see in yesterday's turmoil, and did not stop the Kalun tribe, if they are serious, they are actually wrong. If the Protector of the God of War Patriarch wants to continue to stand up today, it is also a reasonable thing.

But no matter what, after all, they will not suffer the fate of the Kalons.

After yesterday's battle, they have recognized the strength of the Tang Army and the strength of Ma Lu. No matter what Ma Lu wanted, they had no chance of resisting.

At this time, Princess Zhangzhung had already left the main hall with Dorje. Back at the back of the palace, Ma Clam clapped his hands, and a few of his own soldiers walked in and hung a huge map behind Dorje's throne.

On the map, with Qiangtang as the center, it covers a large area. This was drawn by Ma Lan himself. Drawing maps by hand was something he had in his previous life, and the content of the map came from his memories. Anzai's secret agents have not infiltrated Tianzhu at present, and the specific terrain of that place may not be the same as on the map, but it will not change in general.

"The king has ascended the throne, and the Zhangxiong Kingdom has a new master, leaving you here today just to talk about the southern expedition to Tianzhu." With a calm expression, Ma Lan stood up and walked to Dorje's throne. Stretched out his finger and pointed to the map above, and said straight to the point.

He didn't want to talk too much nonsense, this was an order, and the leaders of the Ten Eastern Dynasties had to obey it.

When the leader wanted to speak, Ma Lu waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, and continued: "Now the valley is empty. I know that many of you want to take this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to lead your troops into the valley of the Rakses and annex the weak tribes. Grow your strength and live in the fertile and warm valley of the Logos. This place seems to you to be a treasure of feng shui that you can dream of, but I tell you today that it is impossible! ”

Look around at the crowd. Ma Xuan said lightly: "My Tang Dynasty's Longyou Army has occupied some cities, Tubo no longer exists, except for Zhangxiong's hometown, they are all directly under the Tang Dynasty, and counties will be set up." Self-managed. Your loyalty is available, but my Datang will never allow a second Tubo to appear on the plateau, so the land in the valley of the Luo River ...... You don't have to think about it. If anyone is not convinced, they can bring it up now. ”

Of course, no one dared to bring it up, and the head of the Jingguan was still outside the city. Ma Xuan only paused for a few moments, and then continued to point to the map: "I want more land...... Naturally, yes. But don't think about the valleys, and don't think about the places north and south of the river, that's not what you deserve. If you want to expand, you can fight down the Shiquan River until you reach Tianzhu, and you can fight as far as you can! ”

"This is an order, and it will be executed at the beginning of spring! Ten Dongdai have to send troops, and the outer elephant male is the closest, so there can be more. "You think that the valley of the Logos is a treasure land, and down the river, there are plenty of warm plains, which are definitely more fertile than the valleys of the Logos. The people there are cowardly by nature and are no match for you at all. This time, as the main force, I will also send troops to suppress the formation for you. ”

Speaking of the location of the surrendered city on the map, it extended northward along the obvious blue line, then turned southwest, and finally extended to the sea: "This is your goal in this southern expedition, all prepare well, this is an extremely rich place, and it will give you enough rewards." ”

After saying this, Ma Lan sat down directly on Dorje's throne and looked at the people below.

The surrendered city stood on the banks of the Shiquan River, which was originally the upper reaches of the Indus River, which flowed northwest and then southwest into Kashmir, and finally into the Arabian Sea by receiving tributaries such as the Kabul River. The southern expedition of the Zhangxiong people was mainly to expand downstream along the Shiquan River. Wai Xiang Xiong was originally in the Kashmir area, and the Xiang Xiong people were very familiar with this big river, but they did not know where it ended up.

Looking at the huge map on the wall, the leaders were at a loss, and they didn't understand what those intricate and interlaced curved lines meant. Looking at the map on the wall, I was confused.

What a staff officer at the lowest level in the Anxi army can understand, in the eyes of these elephant heads, it is like a book from heaven. But they could understand what Ma said about the southern expedition and the more fertile land than the valley of the Logos.

So the next moment, the leaders began to talk in a low voice.

Conquering the Raksa Valley, which is next to Zhangxiong, is the easiest thing to do, but now it has been rejected by the Protector of the God of War Patriarch. Since they have refused, then there is no possibility, they have little knowledge of the Longyou army occupying the city, let alone fear, but they are extremely afraid of the tall man in front of them.

Since he can't say for sure, he can only give up.

As for the southern expedition to Tianzhu...... The Protector of the God of War said that it was an order, so there was no room for negotiation. The example of the Kalun tribe is there, who dares to offend the ancestor of the Dharma Protector God of War!

In other words, after the arrival of spring, it will be time to start a war with the Tianzhu people.

The heads of the inner Zhangxiong were very far away from Tianzhu, so they asked the heads of the outer Zhangxiong, but those leaders were all from the mountains, and they didn't have any direct knowledge of Tianzhu. After all, there are still some mountain tribes between them and Tianzhu, and they have no direct contact with the Tianzhu people, and they don't know where the Shiquan River will eventually flow.

Ma Lan sat quietly, watching the leaders talk in a low voice. If Li Gongbu hadn't died, he would have given Li Gongbu an order directly, and there would be no need to be so troublesome. But these people are stupid people, and there is no need to worry about their ambitions.

The voice of the discussion gradually quieted down, and Ma Lan sat up slightly straight, and then spoke again: "This matter...... If you have any questions, you can say them. ”

"Master Patriarch, we can't understand this." A middle-aged man pointed to the map and laughed.

Ma Lan nodded: "If you don't understand, you can learn slowly, and when the time comes, I will send someone to your army and teach you little by little." I really can't understand it, it's enough to have them in the army. ”

"Master Patriarch, where are ...... Is it really better than the valley of the Logos? An old man asked.

"It's nature." Ma Lan pointed to the map, "A few hundred miles down the river from Outer Xiangxiong, it is the plain area, and it can be said that it is close to Outer Zhangxiong. I didn't grab a good place so close, but I only looked at the cold valley of the Luoqi...... Your horizons are inevitably too shallow. What a good place to be, it's a hundred times better than the valley of the Logos! ”

This is a slight exaggeration, but the banks of the semi-arid Indus River Plain are indeed not comparable to the two sides of the Lhasa River. Of course, the place where the Zhangxiong people live is the most unsuitable area in the world for human habitation, and any other place is better than the place where they live. Their vision is blocked by the mountains, and they only know the world around them, not the rest of the world. And the difficult life has created a strong personality of the Qiang people, and when they look south, it can naturally cause great disasters.

"Is it really that good?" An old man whispered.

"Really." Although the voice was small, Ma Lan heard it, and nodded indifferently, "Don't say anything else, occupy the land there, I can guarantee that from now on, your people will never go hungry!" ”

A simple sentence immediately caused an uproar.

Not to go hungry is simply impossible for the people on the Qiangtang.

In the past two years, thanks to the blessing of descending the city, what the Zhangxiong people were able to do, that is, not starve to death in the long and cold winter. This is a huge improvement from the past. However, it is just that no one starves to death, and when there is a lack of food, the tribesmen cannot eat too much every day, and they can ensure that they eat every day, even the old and weak, which is already rare.

In winter and spring, everyone can feel the feeling of hunger, which is much better than before, but there is always not enough food. The chiefs have a lot of wealth, and they rarely go hungry, but it is not nothing, and everyone knows very well how the people live.

Everyone is used to these things, and not all Qiang people have lived like this since ancient times. In the past two years, relying on Datang, it is already a great happiness to be able to not starve to death. Especially for the Qiang tribes in the valley of the Luoqi River, who are in the midst of war, such a day has made them satisfied.

There is someone who does not need to go hungry, they have seen it with their own eyes, and that is the Tang army stationed in the surrendered city. They never have to go hungry and eat well every day, even in winter. This is undoubtedly enviable, but they don't have such luxuries, and anyone is different. He wanted to seize the land of the valley for the sake of the tribe, but he never thought that the tribe would never starve.

I couldn't understand it, but the leaders all looked at the map, and their eyes gradually became eager.

If the southern expedition to Tianzhu can keep the tribesmen from starving, then ...... Why not? (To be continued......)
