The chieftain of Pingnanguan is called Ashangkui. He has an official residence of thousands of households and is also the garrison general of Pingnanguan. In fact, there were Xia Dynasty defenders stationed at Pingnanguan.
Although Ashangkui was the local chieftain and held military and political power, he could only hold a deputy position in Pingnanguan.
The highest commander was a Qianhu sent by the imperial court. This is not only the case in Pingnanguan, but also in the entire southern territory of the chieftains, Xia troops are stationed.
The thing to guard against is that the toast will have evil intentions. According to the information Qin Shaoyou has, Ashang Kui had been very cooperative before the rebellion.
Not only was he willing to accept Sinicization, but he also asked Dianzhou academic officials to send teachers to promote enlightenment and Sinology in the territory.
At the same time, the relationship between Ashangkui and the generals and garrison at Pingnanguan was quite harmonious. The two sides cooperated quite tacitly on things like suppressing bandits and guarding against monsters, and they were almost blood-sworn sworn brothers.
Therefore, before Ashangkui rebelled, the defenders of Pingnanguan were completely unprepared. The result was that they gave him drugged wine and meat in the name of labor, and then killed him in one fell swoop.
Qin Shaoyou plans to start from Ashangkui and capture all the rebellious chieftains as quickly as possible.
Only by making things bigger can the big snake be frightened. After deciding on the first goal, Qin Shaoyou immediately took out another topographic map.
It is the layout plan of Ashangkui Tusi Yamen. In detail, where there are secret fortresses, where there are hidden weapons, and where there are traps, they are all marked.
The chieftain's yamen here in southern Xinjiang were all built by craftsmen sent by the Xia Kingdom's court to help them build them. Even urban planning is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry.
The purpose is to be able to leave such detailed layout drawings so that they can be used in certain special periods.
Such as now. Even the chieftain here was aware of the Xia court's intentions and made changes to his chieftain's office and city afterwards.
But there won't be any changes in the big layout. Moreover, when the Xia court was carrying out large-scale construction projects, they also buried nails one by one in the chieftain's territory.
These people may not be able to find any information that is too confidential, but the chieftain wants to make changes to the yamen and the city. It is a big project, and they will learn about it immediately, and then report it to the superiors and send special spies to investigate.
Therefore, the Xia Kingdom's court had a relatively clear grasp of the various situations of the chieftain. That is to say, when the throne was changing and rebellious ministers were being cleaned up, they were caught off guard.
In addition, the war broke out suddenly. Otherwise, the border troops here in southern Xinjiang, even if they are not as powerful as those in northern Xinjiang, can still put an end to the war as soon as possible.
The only question now is whether these chieftains will still live in their own yamen after the rebellion.
However, those spies also said that the chieftain was not seen among the coalition forces. Come to think of it, the chieftain is equivalent to a local emperor, how can he control and conquer personally at every turn?
If it's the same as the 'Tumu Fort God of War', wouldn't it be doomed?
"No matter what, go straight to the chieftain's house. Even if the chieftain is hiding, there is still a way to find him... At the worst, we can pretend to be them and order the withdrawal of troops in the chieftain's yamen. When the time comes, the fakes will be confused with the real ones. Don't be afraid that they won't show up!" Qin Shaoyou quickly made a decision.
With his abilities and the various supernatural items he carries with him, whether the toast is there or not is no longer a problem.
He called Mr. Gunshan to him and asked the big, furry man to read the map of southern Xinjiang carefully and remember the Pingnanguan Tusi Yamen where he wanted to go.
Then he put away the map and asked, "Do you remember clearly?" Gunshan Jun nodded vigorously. Qin Shaoyou patted his big furry belly and ordered: "Lead the way." Lord Gunshan raised his furry bear paw and followed the order with a roar.
Then I realized something was wrong. Damn it, sir, are you treating me like a dog? But complaining is a complaint, Gunshanjun's movements are not slow at all.
He huffed and puffed as he walked in front of the team and led the way, his nose twitching up and down, just like a hunting dog looking for the road.
Not to mention, in this mountain environment, Gunshanjun has to be reliable. Whether it's route planning or avoiding enemies, you don't have to choose.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou and others, led by Gunshanjun, arrived at Pingnanguan. The scale of Pingnanguan is not large, but its location is very good. It is on the main transportation road connecting the north and the south.
If it were in peacetime, Pingnanguan would be very lively, and people from the two places would come and go. But now, the gate is closed, and the heavily armed guards on the tower are patrolling back and forth with bows and crossbows.
There are also falcons soaring in the sky and hunting dogs cruising outside the gate. Qin Shaoyou and the others did not hide their aura, so as soon as they arrived at Pingnanguan, they were noticed by the specially trained hounds and falcons here.
Gunshanjun's magical power came into play at this time, so that the hounds and falcons did not warn them and regarded them as their own.
Taoist Master Qiu Shi waved his hand, and the falcons from the sky immediately flew down, surrounded him, and caught the mushroom-like things he threw out.
Before the defenders on the tower noticed anything strange, the falcons took off again and flew back to the top of the city at an extremely fast speed. While circling back and forth, they crushed the mushrooms they were holding in their talons.
A piece of spore powder immediately fell down. The defenders on the top of the city were unaware of this. But soon, they felt strong tiredness welling up in their hearts.
"Why did I suddenly feel sleepy..." One of the defenders yawned, quickly closed his eyes, fell directly to the gate of the checkpoint, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Not good!" Some people realized that something was wrong, but before they could issue a warning, their eyelids drooped uncontrollably.
This sleepiness seemed to be contagious. It not only caused a large number of the defenders on the gate tower to fall asleep, but also caused the people inside the gate tower to fall down one after another.
Taoist Master Qiu Shi's Sleep Gu was already powerful. After joining the institute, he received strong support from Qin Shaoyou and sufficient material supplies from the editing factory. He achieved leaps and bounds in a very short period of time.
This is also a way to minimize the killing and not provide sacrifices to the crazy god in the blood moon. Gunshanjun did not let Taoist Qiu Shi perform alone.
At the same time that the sleepy poison took effect, he activated his magical power, causing a slope of earth to quickly rise on the ground in front of the checkpoint city wall.
Without stopping, everyone stepped directly onto the slope and rushed up to the tower of Pingnan Pass. Pingnan Pass has also built many magic circles and mechanisms.
When Qin Shaoyou and others rushed up, these magic formations flashed together, trying to activate to trap Qin Shaoyou and others.
"Senior Brother Cui!" As Qin Shaoyou shouted loudly, Cui Yougui, who had been impatient for a long time, galloped away from the horse like a cannonball and crashed into the magic circle at Pingnanguan.
