Chapter 521 The last stroke of the blueprint

The post-war treatment of Beiting is quite simple, because there are precedents to follow. Their Khan wanted to be sent to Chang'an by Qin Mubai. Following the example of Tubo's Zanpu Abandoned Zong, they became a prince of Taiping, and there was no possibility of returning to the Western Regions from now on.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of such a precedent that he "dare" to surrender - the Tang Dynasty was kind to the prisoners of war, which obviously dispelled their last concerns. In the face of the invincible Kansai army, between the extermination of the country and the return of the Tang Dynasty for the rest of his life, the Turks in the Northern Court chose the latter.

However, for the desert xiaoxiong's mud, there is a high call in the Kansai army to "right | law" him to comfort Qin Shubao's spirit in heaven. Moreover, Nishu also took the initiative to ask Qin Mubai to die. Bo Buqin and Yu Gushe and others pleaded for mercy together, which made Qin Mubai a little embarrassed.

It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the ground snake, but if there is help from the ground snake, the situation will be very different. Originally, Qin Mubai wanted to sip this person with mud now, but his identity in front of him was so much that he had to give up for the time being. So Qin Mubai arranged for him to go home for retirement for the time being, and sent some people to protect him.

More than 200,000 troops surrendered together with the desire valley and the mud. This army is mixed with good and bad, and most of them are the children of civilians of various tribes who were forcibly recruited on a temporary basis. Qin Mubai let half of them go home and reunite them with their families, winning a lot of applause and praise. Among the remaining soldiers, Qin Mubai selected 50,000 elites to be included in the Kansai army cavalry, making his team further stronger.

Although Qin Mubai and others have seized as much time as possible, the aftermath of taking over Gongyue City and the collection and surrendering troops has also been carried out for more than ten days. At this time, the messenger sent to Kangguo also went back and forth. Qin Mubai got in touch with Su Dingfang and learned about Su Dingfang's battle in the Sam River.

Long before the end of the month, Su Dingfang led his army to the Sam River to guard against the cannibals who might invade at any time. Nourman, the commander of Dashi, who has been waiting for news on the west side of the river bank, is famous for his fierce and decisive use of troops, but he is obviously more cautious in the face of the land that has never set foot in the Western Regions. Before learning that Kangguo had increased its troops on the east coast and did not get reliable information about the internal response, Nuerman had been stationed in the West Bank and watching.

The Sam River is a river located in the north of Kangguo, which is a natural barrier to the west of the whole Western Regions. Kang Guo has been stationed here all year round and built many military port defenses. Even if Kang's army has always been very cowardly, it is not easy for Nullman to take a group of dry ducks to break through the waterway into the Western Regions. Therefore, Nullman took great pains to cultivate the inner line in Kangguo, so as to step on the Western Regions.

Now there is no news about the inner response, but the East Coast has increased by more than 100,000 troops. Nuerman realized that the situation has obviously changed. Now, he can only choose to retreat or break through the Sam River. But he no longer knew about the commander, strength and defense of the other party, which made him very hesitant.

So, Nuerman's troops were stationed and hesitant, and Su Dingfang stood still to defend the defense line. The two sides have been deadlocked on both sides of the Sam River for more than a month. Unexpectedly, they did not shoot an arrow or move, just like the two fierce beasts before fighting, they were waiting for the results of a blow.

After learning about this situation, Qin Mubai felt a little calmer. Before that, he had been worried that Su Dingfang, who had great disparities in strength and did not know the depth of the other party, could hardly resist Nuerman, the Arab god of war, and what worried him more was the safety of Wu Mei Niang.

Now, since the Beiting has been eliminated, Qin Mubai can go to Kangguo with confidence and boldness. But this does not mean that the matter in Gongyue City is over.

The two courts of the north and south of the Western Turkic are the two largest forces in the Western Regions. The two compete with each other while operating the blueprint of power in the Western Regions. Under their command, there are a large number of small countries and tribes in the Western Regions. Now, the Southern Court has undoubtedly become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Northern Court, Qin Mubai must come up with a feasible plan at this time to recruit and appease other small countries and tribes.

Qin Mubai handed it over to Nanting's Khan Thin Cloth.

Qin Mubai invited him to Gongyue City and told him that he would speak to the court and express the "merit" of the Southern Court for helping the Tang Dynasty to calm down the Northern Court and conquer the Western Regions. Please allow His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to make Bo Buqin the first governor of the "North Court".

That is to say, in addition to placing the Protectorate of Anxi in Gongyue City, Qin Mubai will also place a "governor's office" under his jurisdiction, which specializes in managing the aftermath of the two courts in the north and south. In this way, Bo Bu, a native king of Khan, became a subordinate official of the Tang Dynasty and the "department manager" under Qin Mubai.

It would be more appropriate to let Bo Buqin, the king of the Turkic Khan, deal with the affairs of the Turks.

Bo Buqin has always admired the Tang Dynasty, and Nanting has always been good with the Tang Dynasty. The "dudu" of the Tang Dynasty may be awarded the title for merit in the future. He was too happy, so he agreed.

Later, Qin Mubai heard that the first thing Bo Buqin did after taking office was to invite the mud. Qin Mubai didn't know what method he used and didn't ask. In a word, the former desert hero was familiar with mud, but now he has become a "worker" under the "department manager".

According to Qin Mubai's plan, only waiting for the table to reach the imperial court, in the next few years, the land in the Western Regions, which originally belonged to the two courts of the North and the South, will be divided into the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty. That also means that from now on, there will be no more tooth tents of Turkic Khan and the North and South Courts in the Western Regions, only the feudal officials and prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty.

In the battle of Gongyue City, Xue Rengui shocked the enemy. Qin Mubai's soldiers did not have a bloodshed. In less than a month, the Tang Dynasty began from Gaochang Kingdom and expanded thousands of miles to the Western Regions, completely solving the Western Turkic, the most powerful force in the Western Regions. According to Qin Mubai's words, from now on, the Tang Dynasty will "cover the sky with one hand" in the Western Regions.

Qin Mubai left more than 100,000 troops to guard Gongyue City, and left Xue Rengui, the "God of War" in the eyes of the Turks, to help him take care of the aftermath. Then, Qin Mubai himself led more than 200,000 troops, with Yuwen Hongtai as the vanguard, and advanced at full speed to Kangju, the suzerain country with the nine surnames of Zhaowu!

From the historical origin, the ninth surname of Zhaowu is a descendant of the Dayue clan. Later, it was mixed with the Xiongnu and Sogdians. It has never belonged to the Central Plains and is different from the Chinese nation. According to the idea in Qin Mubai's mind, countries and tribes such as the Northern and Southern Courts of the Western Turks have always been enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and must be conquered and integrated. The descendants of the Dayue clan and the Sogdians, in terms of historical origin and regional race, are not suitable for conquering and integrating him. They can only be used as neighbors and auxiliary wings.

There is no problem of military difficulty, but it involves the international image and foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty. In the conquest of the Western Turks, the Tang Dynasty was famous for the criminal division of hanging the people; pacifying the national integration of the two courts in the north and south was invited by the Friends League of the Southern Court to send troops. Finally, the Tang Dynasty helped the Southern Court unify the whole land of the Western Turks, and Bo Buqin was willing to take the initiative to serve the Tang Dynasty. All this makes sense and makes sense.

The nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, the descendants of the Dayue clan, have always lived alone and had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty. If the nine states of Zhaowu are also conquered and integrated, the Tang Dynasty will be referred to as an "aggressor". Now, in the name of sending troops, Qin Mubai is also out of the "invitation" of King Kangju to help his friendly neighbors fight against the big food country that is about to invade.

Although Qin Mubai did not receive any so-called "invitation letter", there is Wu Mei Niang, the chief and auxiliary minister in charge of Kang Guo's military and foreign affairs. The relationship between Qin Mubai and her is the invitation letter.

A long time ago, Li Shimin and Qin Mubai discussed the plan of the Western Regions. In the Western Regions, there are many races and religions and beliefs. Therefore, the military is not the first to deal with the problems of the Western Regions, and diplomacy needs to be cautious. When the two princes and ministers built the blueprint of the Western Regions, they coincidentally identified a principle, with diplomatic appeasement as the top and military expedition as the bottom. Small countries such as Gaochang, which have a deep relationship with the Han people, can safely and boldly conquer, persuade them to surrender and appease them; against old rivals such as the Western Turks, it is necessary to carry out a strong military strike, and the treatment plan is similar to that of Tubo; and for the nine states of Zhaowu such as Kangju and Dawan, they can be built with them. Establish good-neighborly and friendly diplomatic relations, respect and retain their national independence and national integrity, so that they can become the left and right arm of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and the first barrier to the Western Arab world.

Qin Mubai comes from the 21st century, and his understanding of international diplomacy is naturally a person who surpasses the Tang Dynasty. But Li Shimin can also have such a clear understanding, and Qin Mubai has to admire him very much. Li Shimin, he is brave and wise, but he is not good at accusing himself of self-respect. He clearly knows the truth of "two fists are hard to beat the four hands" and "being contented and happy". No matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, the Central Plains is a country based on inland farming in Kyushu. Of course, it is a good thing to be able to expand the outside world as much as possible in his lifetime. However, if you blindly carry out military expansion to the outside world, things will be reversed, and it is bound to respond to the sentence "Although the country is big, it will die if it is belligerent."

Therefore, the blueprint of the Western Regions demarcated by Li Shimin takes the green onion ridge as the boundary, and divides the mountains from the Dashi and Western countries. To the east of Congling, another country must be needed as a friendly neighbor of the Tang Dynasty to assist in the fight against Daxi. In this way, there is not only a military buffer zone, but also the Tang Dynasty can maximize the huge commercial profits on the silky road.

Count in one fell swoop!

In this way, the nine countries of Zhaowu, which are mainly engaged in business, are undoubtedly the best "partners" of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the blueprint of the Western Regions drawn by Li Shimin and Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai drew it one by one according to this blueprint.

Now, he is standing in front of the capital of Kangju, the city of Samak. Prepare to start sketching the last stroke of the whole blueprint.

"This is what later generations call the city of Samarkand! - What a gorgeous and beautiful city!" Even Qin Mubai made such an amazement.
