内容摘要： 晋天福四年（939年）“溪州之战”前，溪州彭氏土司司治尚无法确定。“溪州之战”后，彭士愁“乃迁州城，下于平岸”，此州治实亦位于今之会溪坪。此后，永顺彭氏土司之司治，先后兴废、迁徙凡三处：龙潭城、老司城、新司城。其中，集军事、政治功能为一体的“土司王宫”——老司城是研究中国土司制度不可多得的瑰宝。它是复原永顺土司社会结构、研究中国土司制度、中央与少数民族关系的重要物证，是研究土家族乃至华南民族史的重要资源。老司城选址与修建体现了自然地形和军事防御的完美统一，是中国城市发展史不可多得的实物案例。

Abstract: Little was known about the Peng＇s Tusi administration before Xizhou （today＇s Yongshun County in Hunan Province） Battle in 939. After the battle,Peng Shichou moved the Tusi official seat to what is known as Huixiping today. Since then,the Peng＇s Tusi administration has experienced ups and downs and the Tusi official seat has moved to Longtan town, Laosicheng town,and Xinsicheng town. A- mong the sites, Laosicheng town is a Tusi palace, with military and political functions rolled into one. Re- garded as a treasure in studying China＇s Tusi system,Laosicheng presents the Tusi social structure in Yongshun. It is an important evidence to study China＇ s Tusi system, the relationship between central government and the minority people,history of Tujia people,and even the ethnic history in south China. The site of Laosicheng town shows the perfect combination between physiographic relief and military de- fense,providing an example for China~s history of urban development.
