Bian Lingcheng was leaving. Before the emperor of Chang'an gave further instructions, he ordered Fu Meng Lingcha to lead the army to station on the northern foot of the Snow Mountain, while Gai Jiayun took prisoners (offered prisoners) and some of the precious property (offered treasures) back to Beijing to report his duties.

Gai Jiayun probably won't come back this time. Everyone estimated that with the "great achievements" of "surprise attack" Talas, it was a foregone conclusion that Fu Meng Lingcha took over as the governor of Jixi.

Fu Meng Lingcha was completely freed from his "surprise attack" and achieved a little "shyness" of gaining a great achievement. After Gai Jia left, he left a bunch of women. Although they were all used by Gai Jia, there were not so many people at this time. Fu Meng Lingcha became leisurely and leisurely when Ashi didn't come to the city.

Before leaving, Bian Lingcheng called Sun Xiurong to his room.

After so many things, Bian Lingcheng also understood that this 19-year-old boy is not just as lucky as he is. He also needs strength to match his miracles repeatedly, but what is this kid's strength?

force?

No, in Anxi, he is naturally conspicuous, but not the most conspicuous. Some of his martial arts are even better than him.

Wisdom?

In nomadic tribes, wisdom can only be subordinate to force, just like the contrast between green leaves and red flowers. This boy is a bit smart, but wisdom cannot be said to be.

People look forward to it?

It is impossible, what can anyone hope for a descendant of a rebel family member who has just been pardoned...

Thinking of this, Bian Lingcheng suddenly thought of something, "This son is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, is it...", but he quickly shook his head, "There are many direct descendants of Emperor Yang of Sui who serve in their own country. In theory, they have a greater expectation, let alone the country's prosperity and peace, the world is restored, and the Sui Dynasty died in the second generation. How could anyone join the short-lived dynasty and abandon the Tang Dynasty? It is definitely not."

"What is that?"

At this time, Bian Lingcheng remembered the special charm of this man. By the way, it was the charm, a person who looked like a Tang people, but his behavior and speech were vaguely not very similar to that of the Tang people.

"Is it because of the influence of the Hu people in the Pamirs? Well, most of the time, the Hu people are free and easy by nature and do not care about the details. How could Sun Lang be with these people since he was a child?

But the question arises again, "There are more people affected by the Hu people. Is it just Sun Lang the only one who stands out?"

When Sun Xiurong came, Bian Lingcheng said, "Sun Lang, you did a good job. You are too young. If you take all the great achievements by yourself, where will the other people's old faces be placed? It would be great if you can get the credit for taking Ashabor. With this contribution, you, a lieutenant of the field army or a local guard, will not be able to escape. I will leave early tomorrow morning. What else do you have to say?"

Sun Xiurong said: "Thank you for your concern. What you want to ask is, after this battle, how did the imperial court settle the forces in the Qihe Basin?"

Bian Lingcheng's eyes lit up. This matter was something he had been thinking hard for the past few days. Of course Li Fuguo knew about it, but he could not tell him that he could only ask Gai Jiayun on the way.

"What about Sun Lang?"

In the past few days, Sun Xiurong has figured out the forces in the entire Two Rivers and Seven Rivers Basin, and drew a map on a large piece of white paper. Like the Tang people, he used a pointed cone to represent mountains, curves to represent rivers, a small section of city walls to represent cities, and "×" to represent passes.

Unlike others, he also used a few grasses to represent the grassland, small dots to represent the desert, and a few trees to represent the forest. The patterns looked more vivid. This was the first time that Bian Lingcheng had seen such a "map".

"Zhongcheng, this is the Wuhu River. Currently, both sides are occupied by the great cannibals. This is the Pearl River, which is also called the Yaoshu River in the downstream. The local forces between the Pearl River and the Wuhu River are now swaying between the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi. Which side is more oppressed and will definitely be thrown into the other side."

"Oh? What do you think about it?"

"Zhongcheng, the great cannibals are different from the Tang Dynasty. Once they take over a certain place, they must implement their Tianfang Buddhism and then use the Tianfang Buddhism to control the people. The biggest feature is to collect heavy taxes from pagans, which is unacceptable to local countries."

"The Tang Dynasty is different, it's just a ban, and at most three or two officials will go to ask for bribes..."

When he said this, Sun Xiurong secretly glanced at Bian Lingcheng from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that he looked normal, he continued: "This does not harm the overall situation of these countries, and is within the scope of tolerance. The Tang Dynasty did not interfere with the regulations on its governance of the country, which is much better than Dashi."

Sun Xiurong suddenly remembered Gao Xianzhi's harshness towards Shi Kingdom in the future. It can be said that he forced the Shi Kingdom to rebel with his own strength, which in turn triggered the Shi Kingdom to surrender to the cannibals, borrow troops and the Battle of Talas, and thought to himself: "Although the Tang Dynasty ignored domestic affairs, the officials' endless blackmail was limited. Once they exceeded their patience, they would still rebel."

He continued: "Therefore, stabilizing these countries will be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty without any harm, this is one of them."

"Secondly, if Tuqishi is an internally stable and united Khanate, then the Tang Dynasty can form an alliance with it and let it deal with the aggressive food in the south. But the country is naturally not like this. After the recent defeat, it will be even more divided. I recently talked with Brother Shuhai. The eight Turkic tribes now have at least 100,000 household registrations and hundreds of thousands of Dingkou. Although they are divided, if a talented and stubborn person appears, it is still easy to rebuild the Khanate."

"So, maintaining its split situation is most beneficial to the Beiting in our country, but it is not conducive to the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty, because once the Dashi in the south stabilizes the countries in the Wuhu River Basin, it will still expand northward after rectifying the troops. A split Western Turkic remnants will definitely not be the opponent of the Dashi people. Our country's heavy troops gather in Beiting and Anxi. Even if a war occurs on the northern foot of the Snow Mountains, it will be too late. Moreover, it will be a waste of money to send the troops there."

"If Suye City is not demolished, the farmland around Suye City will be used to carry out reclaiming. As long as there is a legion, it will deter the remaining Turkic troops. Then, using Suye Town to supervise the troops of various units, it may not be impossible to compress the cannibals in the Wuhu River area, not to mention that there are Shi Kingdoms and other countries between the two rivers as buffers."

"Resetting the Ruiye Town was originally a top strategy, because in this way, the Mukun tribe, the most powerful of the current tribes, can be compressed by Moheganda, near Rehai, so that it cannot enter the northern foot of the Snow Mountains, but Ruiye Town has been demolished, so that it can only be second best."

"Talas?"

"Yes, in theory, Talas City is too far from Anxi and Beiting, and at most it can only be the best choice. However, the castles on the northern foot of the snow-capped mountains are demolished and destroyed. The city of Ashibulai is too small. Only Talas City can station a large army, and the surrounding oasis can cultivate at least 500,000 acres of mid-field."

"Five hundred thousand mu, according to the per mu yield, that is 500,000 stones. If the husk is thrown away, the seeds will be left, and there will be at least seven dou of grain. This is 350,000 stones. If the tax is collected at 30%, it will be 100,000 stones."

"One hundred thousand stones can allow 20,000 people, that is, a legion will eat for a year. However, once a natural disaster or man-made disaster occurs, it is not enough to eat for a year. However, due to the limited personnel in the settlement, 500,000 mu is already the limit. Therefore, according to the 10,000 people stationed in the settlement, it can be consumed for two years."

"With two years of consumption, you can fight independently. With 10,000 elite Tang Dynasty soldiers and the support of the surrounding tribes, there is still no problem in defending the western border of Beiting."

"Hmph!" Bian Lingcheng sneered: "What a joke? 500,000 acres. When Suiye Town was still there, it only had 100,000 acres in total, and the entire Anxi was only 700,000 acres! What's more, there are 10,000 soldiers behind them. Have you calculated how much it takes?! The Tang Dynasty is full of talents, how could it not have thought of this?"

"What the Chief Secretary said," Sun Xiurong said quickly, "I am about to say this. It is naturally not enough to rely on the immigration of the Tang Dynasty. It is too expensive, but what if it is the regulation of the Naren Governor's Office?"

"Narun Governor's Office? What do you mean is that only Han people are appointed as officials and local Hu people are restrained?"

"Yes, Zhongcheng, from Talas to Saiye City, at least 50,000 Sogdians settled here, and there were thousands of Han people. They were all good at farming. In my humble opinion, rather than sending them to the country of Bahan, it would be better to gather near Talas, with a Han man as the governor or Sima, and then select young and strong men from the surrounding tribes that were friendly to the Tang Dynasty to join the army. Isn't it a way to stabilize the western frontier without spending a penny of the country?"

Bian Lingcheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then sneered: "How can we ensure that this person will not become the new Sulu?"

Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "Is this possible when there are Dumodu, Mohedagan and the powerful Shiguo around? Are these Hu people all devoted themselves to the officials appointed by the Tang Dynasty? Impossible, completely impossible."

"real?

At this time, Bian Lingcheng naturally knew that he was recommending himself. It was very possible that he said this, but it was really dangerous to have a Han man and a group of Hu soldiers stationed in a tribe surrounded by Turkic people. Although Sun Xiurong was neither close nor bad, he could not lose this way.

"You kid must have a backup plan, tell me."

"Hehe, the chief minister clearly saw Wanli, and the boy was impressed. My back is Nangongmen. As long as I marry Nangong Xiaoyue and move the entire Nangongmen to near Talas, will I have foreign aid? I have a little reputation in the Naren Basin, so I can still make the Nangongmen obey my orders."

"After the Nangong tribe withdrew from the Naren Basin, most of the basin was controlled by the Bahanna country. The country has lost the land south of the Pearl River. With most of the Naren Basin, it is at least better than nothing, and it is much better than Dingkou."

"In the Talas, there is a family of Gongyue and Nangongmen in the Ili River Basin. Under my temptation, people from this tribe have been constantly attracted to come and surrender. If the tribe can reach 10,000 households, and the alliance with the Geshu tribe can completely stabilize the Talas area."

The most military eunuch, naturally, would think of everything badly, even when facing the 19-year-old Sun Xiurong, who was just nineteen years old, was very competent at this point, but he suddenly thought of something.

"When Sun was training in Naren, he shouted 'Long live the Tang Dynasty' while practicing in the school ground. Although most of these young soldiers were Hu people, the Tang Dynasty had already penetrated into their hearts. It was not Sun, but the Tang Dynasty asked them to follow Sun. Oh, why didn't I think about this matter earlier?"

"Well," Bian Lingcheng opened his eyes, "You write down what you just said in detail, add this map, I will take it back and invite the clever people to see. In the past six months, Fu Menglingcha will be here. Before the official imperial edict is issued, you should guard Talas."

As he said that, he took out something from his arms.

"Sun Lang, you know that I was originally close to King Shou. This peach blossom stone was originally intended to be presented to King Shou as a birthday gift, but King Zhong has now been granted the crown prince. If I present this peach blossom stone to King Shou again, because of the reputation of the peach blossom stone, people who don't know what the peach blossom stone will think that King Shou will be like. How can I get into the wrong of King Shou? Let me send it to you for the time being. Remember, save it well and return it to me when I return to Anxi!"

Sun Xiurong was overjoyed and said quickly: "Don't worry, Zhongcheng, I will definitely protect this treasure like a guardian of my relatives!"

"real?"
