Qin Jin sneered.

"How to punish the evildoers, the court judges according to the law, if you feel shameless, whether you judge yourself or not, there is no interference with the court, so why bother here?"

"You ......"

Guo Youming was speechless for a moment, Qin Jin's words made him embarrassed, and all his dignity was knocked to the ground, how could he, who was proud by nature, bear it?

Qin Jin looked at this young man coldly, although this person was proud and had some ability, he couldn't stand the setback after all, and now he was like an ostrich, thinking that he was going to throw himself into the sand, and everything in the outside world would not exist?

When he was defeated, Guo Youming did not choose to die by himself, but he changed his expectations of how difficult the road ahead was, and did he expect everyone and everything to sympathize with his mother? Naïve and naïve!

Guo Ziyi is such a hero, but he has such a younger brother who can't support the wall in the mud, otherwise how could he be taken by a villain like Dugu Liangzuo?

"Go and see your brother, he is very sick, it is not easy to pick up a life from Dugu Liangzuo. ”

The people sent by Dugu Liangzuo to kill Guo Ziyi were only one step late, and a eunuch was ordered by Li Yu to transfer him first, so that he did not end up with the tragic end of dying in a foreign land.

Finally, Li Yu still has some conscience, and he did not sit back and watch the generals who were loyal to him die in vain. But thinking about his behavior, he was burdened by the relatives around him for half his life, and then lost his identity as the heir of the Tang Dynasty, who can he blame?

Qin Jin and his Shenwu army did not have the ambition of usurping the throne from the beginning, after all, as a superior person, he was immoral and incompetent, and he lost his deer, and the capable person chased him away.

sent Guo Youming away, and Qin Jin resisted Zhou Wenyu again.

"The Sogdians are capricious, and they cannot treat them very kindly, and the leaders of the Shi Kingdom who rebel must hand over them and punish them severely, and the land and population of the Shi leaders shall be confiscated and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Office. ”

Zhou Wenyu was a little strange, how could the prime minister suddenly discuss these strategic matters with him? Just as he was wondering, Qin Jin's next words made him dumbfounded.

"I plan to let you stay, guard the stone country, and lead the stone country to make a festival. The Sogdians here have been in the right and left since the time of Gaozong, and they have not been less involved in the work of falling into the well. It is not advisable to attack them, but to divide and disintegrate, and to consume each other. The lessons of Dr. Gao's past are still in front of us, so you must be cautious. ”

Meritorious service is the lifelong pursuit of those who join the army, returning to Chang'an is equivalent to staying away from the place of meritorious service, although staying away from home, but as long as you use your life for ten years, it is not a dream to change the marquis to worship the general.

"Prime Minister, the villain is afraid that he is not capable enough and will live up to the trust of the Prime Minister!"

"Don't be presumptuous, your ability has been undoubtedly revealed in the process of escorting Guo Youming back to the camp, as long as you remember not to be greedy for merit and be taken advantage of by cunning enemies! The Shenwu army stationed in Khorasan and Fars reused a lot of Sogdians, but it can't be concocted here, and the Turks, Tielers, and Persians can all reuse some of them, especially the Persians can be appointed as magistrates. As for the Turks, the Tielers, including the Zahu, are only appointed as generals to charge into battle......"

Qin Jin had never explained everything in such detail, and he would say it wherever he wanted.

It is no wonder that Qin and Jin are like this, Hezhong is an important hub connecting Anxi and Persia, the situation has been complicated for more than a hundred years, and even the big cannibals have used troops for many years, and they have not completely conquered here, so the Shenwu army must also be cautious.

"Prime Minister, the villain believes that the most important task in the Jingluo River is to build a city, as long as a strong city is built in several key passes, and the fertile land along the Wuhu River and Yaozhishui is controlled, it is equivalent to putting a shackle on the neck of the Zhaowu Jiu surname, and there is no room for resistance. ”

The surname Zhaowu Jiu is a Sogdian, but the habitual name of the people of the time is different.

Qin Jin nodded, and came to a map drawn on parchment, this is the map of the river drawn by the old Persian king Zamas when he was in the dark, although it is simple, but the information on it is very rich, including many places where the east-west trade route must pass.

"Tell me, where was the great city built so that it would be convenient for the Sogdians to pass through the various tribes in the river?"

Zhou Wenyu clearly had some knowledge of the situation in the river, and his fingers swept across the Wuhu River to the northeast, eventually stopping near the Nami River, a tributary of the Wuhu River.

"There is the city of Samad in Kangguo, the city of Boxide in the rice country, the land is fertile, and it is a necessary place for business travel between the east and the west, which is suitable for building a city. However, if the site is chosen here, I am afraid that the Kang people and the people of the United States will be dissatisfied. ”

The banks of Nami Water are the most fertile and fertile land in the middle of the river, and not only Kang and Mi, but also He, An, and Cao have also built cities along the coast. Among them, Kangguo and Mi are the richest. Therefore, Zhou Wenyu proposed to build a city here.

Qin Jin thought about it for a while, and then said:

"If they are bent on submission, they should not think of anything wrong. If you still have two hearts, you might as well drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"

In just a few words, Zhou Wenyu understood that the so-called driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is like killing people with a knife, although the strategy is more vicious, there is no way to do it at a lower cost.

The Transoxians were no longer dominated by the Sogdians, but there were fleeing Turgish, Turkic, Persian, cannibal, and even many Khazars in the north.

Any force can be used as a tiger, just look at their distant relatives from the Shenwu Army.

Zhou Wenyu knew very well that the Shenwu Army could allocate no more than 10,000 troops to Hezhong, and he expected that it would only be around four or five thousand, and with such a small number of troops to control such a vast and complex area, it was doomed that it would be impossible to sweep everything with superior forces, and prudent management was the best policy.

He hesitated, but still asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I wonder how many soldiers and horses the prime minister plans to deploy in the river?"

Qin Jin sat down and thought for a while, and said:

"The Shenwu Army is expanding too fast, most of the troops are used to monitor the Great Cannibals, and the Shenwu Army that can be given to you here can only have a thousand people at most!"

"A thousand?"

Despite being mentally prepared, Zhou Wenyu was stunned by this number. The slightly larger horse bandits here are probably more than 1,000 people.

"In addition, the old department of the abolished prince can be handed over to you for reorganization, and it should not be difficult to gather 10,000 people. Then the Sogdian, Tieler, Turgish and other departments will recruit warriors who dare to fight to supplement the insufficient troops, which should be more than enough!"

This is a good method, otherwise it will definitely be inappropriate to dismiss the old subordinates of the abolished prince on the spot, and it will cost them all to return to Chang'an, and reorganizing and joining the Shenwu Army is the best of both worlds.

Suddenly, Zhou Wenyu's heart moved, and he made a request to Qin Jin.
