The city of Kutz in the south of Dodon is the most important city and fortress in the south of Dodon Kingdom. The thick walls and the army in the city have become the only life-saving straw. Andre I was lying on the bed and his face turned pale. In half a year, he seemed to have exhausted his subsequent energy. His eyes occasionally moved. If it weren't for the slightly undulating chest, he would have proved that he was still alive, from many angles he looked more like a mummy who had died for a long time.

The armored general standing outside the door was gray, and the repeated blows made him feel at a loss. Everything was terrible. More than 300,000 Tang Dynasty troops had launched a large-scale northern expedition into the southern area of ​​Duodun. The scattered Duodun army was almost defeated at once, without any resistance. The Tang army's rangers even began to wander in the central area of ​​Duodun. No army dared to seek death. In fact, there was no army in the kingdom that could fight, and morale had completely collapsed. Even the army that maintained the establishment was just waiting in a daze, waiting for the entire quarrels to reach a conclusion.

The order from the deposed King of Boli City has reached Kuts City, and the nobles elected ascend the throne was Prince Sheffield, the second son of His Majesty the King. He was a cowardly and timid and withdrawn young man. His only hobby was painting. He was not even willing to see his father and mother. Such a person actually took office as King Dodon?!

However, all this is meaningless. The arrival of the Tang army broke everyone's dreams and fantasies, dreaming that the Tang Dynasty could open its doors, and that the Tang Dynasty could accept the Cook Islands and the Crescent Peninsula that no longer belonged to Duoton and would no longer hold the responsibility. However, all this was completely shattered. The Monlai tribe also re-raising troops to move south on the northern border. Can the depressed northern defenders defend the north without the command of General Lemmé? The Emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Wufeng, has clearly issued an announcement, requiring the Duoton and Puer troops to put down their weapons and hand over the fate of the two countries to the Tang and local nobles to decide. This is clearly to disintegrate the political system of the two countries. The evil intentions contained in it are self-evident, but even if there is only a trace of temptation, those nobles who are already desperate will crawl in front of the Tang officials and wait for each other's forgiveness.

"Your Majesty, I can't help but tell you that the Tang army has arrived at Kuci City, and their rangers have crossed Kuci and advanced northward. We must make a decision now." Although we know that telling Andrei I this bad news would undoubtedly add insult to injury, but he had no choice. The Tang army has issued an ultimatum. If they do not answer, they will launch a battle to solve the problem in the shortest time.

"What do they ask for?" Andrei, who was lying on the bed, was already a little blurred. When he escaped from Boli City, he realized that his body was terminally ill. It was purely a thought that he was supporting him. He sincerely hoped that he could reach a compromise with the Tang Dynasty, even if he made huge concessions, he would take responsibility for the crime of traitoring the country.

"Well, they only asked us to put down our weapons and obey their orders. As for the rest, they didn't say much. They said they were soldiers and they had no right to make a decision on the fate of the Dutun Kingdom, and that would be decided by the central government of their empire." After swallowing, he had already had a more detailed negotiation with the other party's special envoy. The other party was not too harsh, but he did not make any promises to one party. This was what he was most worried about, but the initiative was in the hands of the other party, and he could only let it go.

"I'll be killed if I want to perish! Alas!" A long sigh of a little high-pitched sigh stopped abruptly. Andrei Yishi on the bed moved slightly and then there was no sound. The servants guarding in front of the bed panicked and kept calling. The doctors outside the door also rushed in, but the armored general sighed sadly. At this time, His Majesty the King went, and all the responsibilities were to be borne by himself.

On April 5, 702, the mainland Gregorian calendar, Andrei I, King of the Kingdom of Dodon, died of illness in Kuts city. On the same day, Kuts's guard Serezkov surrendered to Jin Zhengyang, the commander of the 9th Army of the Tang Army, who had already arrived at the city, and expressed his willingness to assist the Tang army in completing the incorporation and integration of the Duton area troops as soon as possible.

On April 17, the commanders of the Tiger Wei Corps, the Biao Guard Corps, the Phoenix Corps, and the Ape Bo Corps, together with the noble leaders in Boli City, held talks and consultations with the Tang army's Northern Expedition commanders, Jin Zhengyang, Ying Jianming, and Qu Bo, announced their surrender and accepted the reorganization. At the same time, they will select a delegation to form a delegation to go to Zhongzhou, the capital of the Tang Empire to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, and will also negotiate with the head of the Imperial Government on Duoton's status and administrative structure. Boli immediately became an unguarded city. Sheffield (Andre II), who had just ascended the throne less than a month ago, announced his step forward, and the 9th and 15th Corps of the Tang army temporarily took over the defense of Boli City, while the 13th Corps continued to advance northward, entering the city of Khabarov, the important city in northern Duoton on April 29, and meeting with the Monle Tribe Army of the Boin tribe who had already begun to enter this area.

Compared with the advancement in the Kingdom of Dodon, the Third Legion made a smoother progress in Poole. In fact, since the main army of Poole had been completely wiped out in the Eastern Front War, after the Battle of the Eastern Front, the Kingdom of Poole fell into a serious political crisis, lost almost all its military power, and only one corps was left to support the north. The Lobaks in the north seemed to see hope, and the offensive was also higher than the other. The only stronghold in the north of Poole was left in the hands of the Poole, but the Lobaks seemed to no longer want to limit the battlefield to the north, but began to gather troops to move south. The Puer army in the entire central and southern part did not have a regular army with one soldier. Faced with the Lobaks who had been resentful for a long time, the Puer Kingdom was in a storm.

The nobles of the Puer clearly realized that if the conditions for surrender were not reached with the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, once the Luobaks occupied the central part of the Puer, the land on which the Puer nobles depended on would be swallowed up by the barbarians. In contrast, the Tang Empire would not nationalize the nobles' land. What Puer lost was administrative ruling power, which was not a big deal for the Puer people who were already desperate. Without the army, if they wanted to challenge the Tang Dynasty, there would be such stupid ideas without the Puer nobles.

However, if the noble Puer people surrender to the ugly and unwilling Barbarians, the Puer people would rather choose to die. In their opinion, the prosperity and civilization of the Tang Dynasty have proved that the Tang tribe is a great nation, and there will be one defeat in the fight between two tigers. Since the Liberians were defeated, they were convinced. It is not a shame to lose at the hands of the Tang people. Moreover, the civilization and development of the Tang people have far exceeded that of the Liberians. This has been proved in both politics, economy, culture and military terms. It is acceptable to admit that the failure to surrender to the strong.

On the one hand, while mobilizing the reserve forces to actively resist the invasion of the Robacs, the Pur nobles also stepped up the process of consultation and dialogue with the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when the Third Army of the Tang Dynasty entered the southern part of the Pur, there was almost no resistance. The people just looked at the strong neighbors in the south of the former south entering their territory with a helpless and self-comfortable mood. At least this was much better than the damn Boyin people stepping on this land. They were all waiting for the nobility representatives to negotiate with the Tang Empire on the interests of the Pur people, and to fight for more rights and interests for the Pur people to do their best.

On April 18, 702, the leader of the Third Legion of the Tang Empire, Long, and Xu Caifeng, the special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire, signed a Pur Peace Agreement with the Pur noble delegation at the Rose Palace, Heisen City, the capital of the Puer Kingdom. The agreement stipulates that Sezerif IX stepped down and all administrative ruling powers in the territory of the former Pur Kingdom will be temporarily entrusted by the Tang Empire to the former Pur Kingdom officials. The royal family will select an unmarried woman to the harem of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire. One of the children born in the future will be hereditary to the name of the Puer territory. In the absence of specific circumstances, the empire shall not deprive him of his captive power, but the administrative ruling power will belong to the central government of the empire. The specific administrative management system in the Puer area will be determined by a constituting aristocratic delegation going to the capital of the empire to meet His Majesty the Emperor and then negotiate with the Imperial Government Council.

Then, with Long Zixing's strong intervention, the Luobak people who had already begun to enter the central region of Poole had to withdraw from the central region and the northern region to the front line of Glacier City, which also caused strong dissatisfaction among the Luobak people who had received the promise of the diplomatic department of the Tang Empire. On the one hand, they argued with reason, and on the other hand, they also sent envoys to Zhongzhou to demand that the empire stop the military's actions. However, under the gradual threat of the Tang army, they had to temporarily retreat to the north of the front line of Glacier City according to Long Zixing's request.
