When Zhao Gou learned of the success of the Western Expedition, it was already March of the following year.

The capital is full of traffic and bustling, and there is no breath of war at all. There are only smiling faces and a prosperous scene.

The six-hundred-mile rush from the west rushed into the clear river like a mudslide. The people of the capital who seemed to have "the great victory of the Western Expedition, and the Eastern Qarakhanid Sacrifice Soil and Surrender" were still echoing in their ears, and suddenly remembered that in the west of the Western Regions, thousands of miles away, there was still a large army that gathered the backbone of the DPRK to attack the city and plunder the land for the Great Song Dynasty!

"Okay, Yue Qing and the others live up to my expectations."

Zhao Gou took the good news, and after reading it, there was no excitement in his heart. It's like eating a sweet apple, but that's it.

Jurchen, Dangxiang, Gaochang, Li Chao, as well as Nanyang and Goryeo, eat big fish and meat again and again, and roast the whole sheep is delicious, that is, general.

However, along with the good news, there were also Yue Fei and Yu Wenxuzhong's twists and turns. It's all quite thick.

Yue Fei's recital mainly talked about the losses and captures of the Western Expeditionary Army, after the army took the Eight Thorns Sand Roll, there were more than 30,000 slave soldiers in the army, plus the Ibrahim Department who was "forced to surrender" and surrendered, the total strength suddenly increased by nearly 50,000 people.

The Song army did not contribute much to the attack on the vice-king Karim Hassan, and Hassan led more than 5,000 people to flee to the Western Qarakhanid and defected to Maheim.

The current Western Expeditionary Army has completely occupied the Eastern Qarakhanid, whether it is Talas where Hassan is entrenched, or the original Khotanese (Shule region), the loss is not large, and the capture is amazing.

There was also relative peace in the area, as the elders either fled or were captured. The ruthless performance and invincible image of the Song army made the people of Dongkala dare not be restless for a while. In addition, Ibrahim, the Eastern Karakhan, who has a good reputation, has also taken public refuge in our Buddha.

Because he was given a Buddhist to live.

The defeat of the Eight Thorns Sand Rolling defenders in the night attack on the Song army directly caused the fall of the Eight Thorns Sand Roll City.

When Ibrahim was sent back to the palace in a coma, the entire city of Eight Thorns was in chaos.

The nobles who were preparing to 'move the capital' took the opportunity to mobilize their troops, and even Ibrahim's eldest son was said to have been moved, and entered the palace as the eldest son of the Khan, saying that he had moved the elite Ghulam guards.

Then the entire Eight Thorns Sand Rolling City collapsed, the army fled in a panic, and the magnates fled in a panic, leaving only a large number of people wailing!

But the cries of the people could not stop the army from leaving the city.

But the army that went out of the city was wiped out by the Song army, which had been waiting for a long time.

No one knows how many of the Eight Thorn Sand Roll defenders escaped in that battle, and the last 10,000 or so soldiers and horses surrounded the unconscious Ibrahim and other members of the Khan Room and fled back to the Eight Thorn Sand Roll, and finally had no choice but to surrender.

Everyone knew that it was Ibrahim's eldest son Muhammad who chose to surrender, but Ibrahim, who was rescued by the Song military doctor, bore all the 'infamy' and took the lead in converting to Buddhism.

Therefore, the situation in Dongkala is still relatively stable, and the army of the western expedition is full of morale, and the army can fight again.

Yue Fei's excerpt was to ask for battle, and asked Zhao Gou to give an order to allow the Western Expeditionary Army to continue to take advantage of the victory to attack Xikala.

Zhao Gou was silent, and Yue Fei's excerpt was a complete twist and turn from a military point of view.

For him, as long as the army of the Western Expedition still maintains its combat effectiveness, as long as the supply of military supplies for the army of the Western Expedition is not a problem, and as long as the situation in the conquered Dongkala is still stable, the army will naturally be able to continue to attack westward.

But Zhao Gou can't think like this.

In view of the Eastern Kara, the cabinet has long come up with a systematic plan.

From the establishment of states and counties to the appointment of officials, from indigenous governance policies to immigration taxes, and even the migration of the people of the northern grasslands. The Great Song Dynasty encouraged the people of Saibei to migrate westward.

The latter's standard of living has been too good lately, and the population is growing rapidly.

It's not been a few years now, and at first glance it's very inconspicuous, but there are a lot of children in the tribe.

But at this rate, you will come back in ten or twenty years?

This is a big problem.

You have to immigrate.

However, there is a big difference in the identity of the people of the Saibei rangers.

Some of them are herdsmen, including many Khitan and Xi people; But there are also many people who are herdsmen, slaves who belong to the heads of the nobility.

Even if the simplest herdsman wants the Tori tribe to move to other places, it will be a harm and loss to the tribe, right?

If we do not rationalize this point and do not make specific distinctions, it is impossible to complete the migration smoothly.

Then there is the migration of Hermes-Epitek, which is even more difficult.

As long as the people can survive and live in their hometowns, few of them are willing to leave their hometowns and move to other places.

The young Zhuang of the Sixth Road in Kansai had already lost hundreds of thousands of people because of the Battle of Xuanhe Northern Expedition and Jingkang, and now they want to mobilize people to move to Hezhong Road, how can it be done?

The middle of the river road is the East Kara.

Just as the Western Regions has been divided into Tianshan South Road and Tianshan North Road, Hezhong Road will also be divided into Hedong Road and Hezhong West Road in the future.

However, no matter how perfect the system is, there are few Han people in the area west of the Hexi Corridor, on the vast fertile land of thousands of miles, and it still cannot be regarded as the land of the Han people.

In order to mobilize the population to move westward, the cabinet came up with a super generous package. Hundreds of acres of land, thousands of acres of grassland, is definitely a doctor. He even did not hesitate to pay attention to the Shaomin and the Koreans of Haidong under Anton's rule.

In conjunction with the establishment of prefectures and counties, the appointment of officials, and even the governance policy of the indigenous nobles and commoners, the imperial court had many things to consider.

The twists and turns of Yuwen Xuzhong are very detailed introductions to the current situation of Hezhong Road. Then, many valuable suggestions were given for the establishment and governance policies of local states and counties.

At the same time, he also supported the Western Expeditionary Army to continue the Western Expedition.

The reason is that he has already met with the secret envoys sent by the Ghaznavids and the Khwarazmites.

People on both sides were willing to pay a lot of money to ransom the prisoners of war in the hands of the Song army, and at the same time, there was a faint hint of confession.

Sending troops to support the Eight Thorns Sand Roll was the meaning of the Seljuks, and it was never their intention.

The two have absolutely no hostility towards the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in the face of specific national interests, the so-called faith is really a bit empty.

Just like at certain points in history, the Byzantines were able to come together with the Celestials. And a more specific example is that when the rabbit is changed, in order to resist the huge pressure of the polar bear, it can be mixed with the bald eagle.

The white polar bear supports the Annan monkey to deal with the rabbit, which is not only revenge on the rabbit, but also to reduce his own pressure.

But things changed over time, as the polar bear's heavenly demons disintegrated, and with the transformation of the rabbit into the devil's muscle rabbit, the Annan monkey and the bald eagle immediately rolled into a pot to stir the spoon.

Therefore, faith is false, but tangible benefits are real. This (the attitude of the Ghaznavids and the Flowerthorn Zim) is the most important reason why Yuwen Xuzhong agreed to attack the Sikhara.
