Entering Taozhou City, Zhang Chao found that the city was a bit bleak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A fortified city with a circumference of eight miles, but there are few people in the city, and many of them are obviously not Han Chinese. Pi Lou Wuche went around and came back to tell Zhang Chao that most of these people are of mixed Hu and Han blood, because Hu and Han have lived here for many years, so there are many Han and Hu marriages.

"The last time the Tuyuhun people came, many Lintan people fled into the mountains. Some of those who didn't have time to escape were taken captive by the Tuyuhun people, and some Qiang people took the initiative to follow. At present, many people are still hiding in the mountains, afraid to come down. ”

Taozhou City was originally garrisoned by the Tang Army, and although some were sent to support Luo Yi, there were still many soldiers in the city. Under normal circumstances, such a fortified city, it is difficult for the Tuyuhun people to capture it quickly. However, because there were many Qiang people in Taozhou who were attached to the country in the early years, they suddenly rebelled in response to the outside world, resulting in the rapid loss of this fortified city.

The Han people of Taozhou mainly moved in on a large scale in the Western Han Dynasty and lived here. However, after so many years, it is difficult to find relatively pure Han people here, most of them are Han and Hu mixed blood, and Hu is more serious.

Taozhou is an important town in Longyou, not only a military town, but also economically developed here. Guy is an important place to Henan, and it is on the border, where the Sui Dynasty originally set up a border city to trade with the Tuyuhun and Tubo people.

The ancients took the right as the west, so the right of Longshan actually refers to the place west of Longshan, not the place to the east. For example, Jiangzuo actually refers to the east of the north-south section of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Anhui, so Jiangdong is also called Jiangjiang, and Jiangxi and Hubei are called Jiangyou.

Geographically, Qinzhou, Longzhou, and Yuanzhou, the Tang people called Longdong.

And Weizhou, Minzhou, Taozhou and other places are called Longxi.

More generally, the entire west of Longshan is called Longyou, Wei and Tao Prefectures are also Longyou, and Hezhou, Lanzhou, etc. also belong to Longyou.

Now the imperial court divides fifteen provinces, and Liang, Gan and other places also belong to Longyou Road, in fact, the geographical tradition is to call the Liang, Gan, Sha, Su and other prefectures west of the Yellow River as Hexi.

The Tuyuhun section to the west of Taozhou, until the foot of Jishi Mountain, is called Henan.

The valley between the Yellow River and the Huangshui River is called the Hehuang. Henan and Hehuang are the richest land on the Tuyuhun territory, this place is not only rich in water and grass, but also abundant in water, which is a rare good place suitable for farming.

Now the Hehuang Valley was opened and occupied by the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also inherited Shanzhou, Kuozhou, Hezhou and other places. The Hehuang Valley was mainly controlled by the Tang Army, but the Henan region in the southwest was still in the hands of Tuyuhun.

Taozhou City basically remained intact, and the Tuyuhun people retreated in a hurry, and even the city was not damaged, which made Zhang Chao very happy, saved a lot of things, and added a little more security.

"Zhang Yuanjun, what should we do next?" Cui Yi asked Zhang Chao.

Standing at the head of Taozhou City, Zhang Chao, the newly appointed assassin and governor of Taozhou, was also a little confused.

Yes, before I came, I thought there would be a battle. But now that he came smoothly all the way, and easily took over and stationed in Taozhou City, Zhang Chao was a little confused.

After thinking about it, the first task of my coming was to guard the gate of Longxi.

Now that the city is in hand, most of this task is completed, and the next step is to not lose the city.

"Send people to the mountains to shout, and let the people who have gone into the mountains to hide go down the mountain and go home." After Zhang Chao thought about it, he issued the No. 1 order of Taozhou Assassin History.

"Find out the original local officials, see how many people are still there, and the missing manpower will be replenished immediately, and the local officials and people will recommend it."

Restoring order and production here is a top priority. In order to restore orderly production, it is first necessary to have a set of command system, which must be led by officials and officials, as well as local large and wealthy families.

Although Zhang Chao brought more than 5,000 people, he could not rely on these soldiers to govern a state. Although the old system of government officials has certainly suffered a great deal of damage, it can only be repaired first, and it is impossible to directly tear it down and start over.

"General Pilou and General Yi Sugu, you send more scouts out to monitor the border line at all times. The beacon towers everywhere must also be repaired immediately, and people should be assigned to guard them, and as soon as there is an alarm, the beacon smoke should be lit immediately to warn them. In addition, all towns and roads are guarded and patrolled, and if anyone takes advantage of the chaos to commit evil, robbery and theft, etc., they will be arrested immediately, and those who resist will be killed on the spot! ”

After the war, order came first.

Confusion is absolutely not allowed.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chao said again, "Zhang Bang, send people to the villages in the city and countryside to preach and tell everyone that the Tang Dynasty has just defeated the Turks, beheaded 100,000, fully recovered the lost territory, and the Turks sued for peace." Let me tell you again that Tuyuhun was defeated by the King of Qin in Weizhou and fled in embarrassment. ”

"Tell everyone that the Tang army has repelled Tuyuhun, and the states and counties they attacked have also been recovered by the Tang army. Let the people all go back to their hometowns. ”

"A sign was erected on the border, saying that Taozhou would resume trade in the border market, and herdsmen from all walks of life were welcome to come to Taozhou to trade."

Sun Fujia, who was in charge of the army, said with some concern, "Will it be too early to reopen the border market at this time, in case there are Tuyuhun people pretending?" ”

"Don't worry, Murong Fuyun doesn't dare to make any moves in the near future, the Turkic defeat and peace negotiation is enough to make Murong Fuyun frightened. He only prays now that my Datang will not send a large army to crusade against him, how dare he make a provocative move? It is urgent to restore trade in the border market, and only with trade in the border market will it be restored and prosperous. ”

In the past, many people in Taozhou relied on the border city to live, and if there was no border city, many people would have to leave.

Only when the border market is opened up, the market is prosperous, and the people live without worry, it is not easy to cause chaos.

Besides, Zhang Chao brought more than 5,000 troops, and these people also had to eat and drink, and it was impossible for them all to be transported from the rear. When the market is prosperous here, Zhang Chao can collect taxes and make money, and only then can he supply on the spot.

If you have money, you can build more levels, fortresses, and strengthen defenses.

"What to do with the Qiang people who haven't left in Taozhou?"

"Unified registration and key surveillance. Give them an identity card, let them carry it at any time for inspection, after dark, it is forbidden for the Qiang people to go out, twenty miles away from home, must be reported to the Li Zheng for registration. If you need to go out of the county, you must get a road guide from the county. ”

This Tuyuhun attacked, and many Qiang people who were attached to Tuyuhun in the early years rebelled against Tuyuhun, but not all Qiang people rebelled. There were more than 100,000 Qiang people attached to the Sui Dynasty alone, and only some of them rebelled this time, not even half of them. Now that Tuyuhun has retreated, there are still many Qiang people left in the Tang realm.

Zhang Chao also believes that not every one of these people thinks about rebellion, and most of those who stay are willing to continue to live a stable life. Of course, these people can't be simply and rudely cleansed, otherwise, they will only make a big mess.

But we can't let it go, otherwise if there are still some people with bad intentions, it will not be dangerous at a critical time.

Zhang Chao's disposal method is to strengthen control, not purge.

The Qiang people in the public office in the yamen were temporarily dismissed. Then the supervision of the Qiang people should be strengthened, and these people should be strictly controlled through the system of curfews, identity tags, and road guides.

Of course, for other Han and Hu ethnic groups who are not Qiang, curfews, identity tags, and road guidance restrictions must also be implemented, but the Qiang people must be monitored more strictly.

After disposing of these, Zhang Chao entered the Yamen of the Assassin History.

On the Yamen of Taozhou Thorn History, a new sign has been added, Taozhou Governor's Mansion.

For the time being, there are two signs of a yamen here, and the people are still Zhang Chao's group, and the main officials are all brought by Zhang Chao, but many of the officials below still have to rely on the original officials and supplement them from the locals. They know the place, and that is something they have to rely on.

The backyard of the Yamen of the Assassin History.

"I didn't expect that the prince's army would break the Turks so quickly." Ma Zhou whispered, "It's really unexpected. ”

"In fact, there is nothing to be surprised about, you know, this time the prince commanded the elite of the entire Tang Dynasty, the soldiers are fierce, and the imperial court has mobilized more than 100,000 troops, if you add those cooperating people, a total of no less than 300,000 horses have been dispatched. The number one generals and fierce generals that Datang can count are all on the field, no matter who is the commander, they can actually win. ”

In a war of this level, as long as the commander does not blindly command and interfere, and is willing to follow the advice and planning of those generals, he will basically not lose.

Especially this battle was fought on the territory of Datang.

The news claims to behead 100,000, but in fact, the water is not ordinary. According to the information he received from Li Shimin, the Turkic army that the Tang army really killed was less than 10,000 people.

The biggest result of the Tang army this time was to kill Gao Kaidao, kill and capture about 20,000 rebels from his department, and then Luo Yi killed thousands of Liang Shidu, Li Shiji and Princess Pingyang annihilated thousands of rebels under Yuan Junzhang.

Combined, about 5,000 Turkic troops were killed and about 3,000 were taken prisoner. In addition, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the three rebels were killed, and about 30,000 were captured, all of which added up, killing less than 20,000 enemies and capturing more than 30,000.

But the Tang army claimed to have killed 100,000 Turks!

According to them, Zhang Chao can also claim that he has killed 30,000 people in Tuyuhun!

"But no matter what, the generalissimo of this battle is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the deputy marshals are King Qi and Luo Yi. However, General Qin is really brave, and he will cut high and open the way, which can be regarded as the first merit in this war. ”

Ma Zhou suddenly said, "This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the power of this great victory, and the prince's position will be more stable in the future." San Lang, although you have made meritorious contributions to the court this time, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be happy after hearing it. ”

Zhang Chao shook his head and smiled, if he didn't rush to rescue Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng would have one less big threat. But because of him, Li Shimin did not die, he was still alive and well, and with such 10,000 soldiers, he was ordered to be in danger, and he really repelled Tuyuhun and recovered the lost territory in Longxi.

"I can't die without help!" Zhang Chao said casually.

Li Jiancheng probably already knows the situation here, and he doesn't know what to think now.

Youzhou.

Li Jiancheng has been waiting for the good news since he heard that Li Shimin was trapped in Longxi and besieged by 60,000 Tuyuhun people.

He thought about it and felt that Li Shimin was dead. There are no reinforcements outside, no grain and grass inside, and only 10,000 lonely soldiers are guarding a small county town in Longxi, how can Li Shimin defend it?

In the past few days, Li Jiancheng has been very happy.

He led the army to defeat the Turks, and Li Shimin was about to die again.

It's a good thing.

As soon as Li Shimin died, no one in the world could threaten his crown prince.

"Hey, Gu Zhen can't wait to immediately lead the army to Longxi to rescue the people. It's hateful that the sky is high and the road is far away, and the distant water is difficult to quench the thirst of the near! ”

During the trip, Li Jiancheng said to the generals and colonels, and squeezed two tears as he spoke.

The generals and colonels of the Qin Wangfu all lowered their heads.

Everyone had already expected that King Qin would be more auspicious and less auspicious.

The generals were silent, silent for the King of Qin, silent mourning for him, a generation of famous kings, but buried in a small border city!
