The post-war treatment of the North Court is quite simple, as there are precedents to follow. Their khanate wanted to set up, and was sent to Chang'an by Qin Mubai, following the example of Zanpu in Tubo, who abandoned the sect and became the king of Taiping County, and there was no possibility of returning to the Western Regions again.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of such a precedent that Desire Valley and Mu Shushu "dared" to surrender - Datang's kindness to prisoners of war obviously dispelled their last concerns. In the face of the invincible Kwanti Army, between the extinction of the race and the demise of the country and the return to the Tang Dynasty for the rest of their lives, the Beiting Turks chose the latter.

But for the desert lord who is familiar with the mud, there is a very high voice in the Kansai army to "correct the law" to comfort Qin Shubao's spirit in the sky. Moreover, Ni Shusi also took the initiative to ask Qin Mubai for death, and Bo Bu Qinqin pleaded with Desire Gu She and others together, which made Qin Mubai a little embarrassed.

It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the ground snake, but if there is a ground snake to help, the situation is very different. Originally, Qin Mubai wanted to use a clay to sip this person now, but his identity in front of him was too sensitive, so he had to give up for the time being. So Qin Mubai arranged for him to "stay sick" and go home for the time being, and sent some people to protect him.

More than 200,000 troops surrendered along with Desire Valley and Mud Cooking. This army, good and bad, is mostly the children of civilians of various tribes who have been forcibly recruited by improvised patchwork. Qin Mubai released half of them to their homes and reunited them with their families, winning a round of applause and praise. Among the remaining soldiers, Qin Mubai selected 50,000 elite soldiers to be incorporated into the cavalry team of the Guanxi Army, which further expanded the team under his command.

Although Qin Mubai and the others had already seized the time as much as possible, the aftermath of taking over Gongyue City and the collection and surrender of troops had been carried out for more than ten days. At this time, the messenger sent to Kangguo also made a round trip, and Qin Mubai got in touch with Su Dingfang, and learned about Su Dingfang's battle in the Sam River.

As early as more than a month ago, Su Dingfang led his army to garrison the Sam River to defend against the big cannibals who might invade at any time. Nurman, the commander of the Great Food, who had been waiting for news on the west side of the riverbank, was known for his fierce fighting style and decisive use of troops, but he was obviously more cautious in the face of the land in the Western Regions that he had never set foot in. Before learning that Kang Guo on the east bank had increased his troops on a large scale and had not received reliable information about the internal response, Nurman had been stationing his troops on the west bank to wait and see.

The Sam River is a river located in the north of Kangguo, and is a natural barrier between the entire Western Regions and the West. Kangguo garrisoned troops here all the year round and built many military port defenses. Even if Kang's army has always been very poor, it is not easy for Nurman and a group of landlubbers to break through to the Western Regions from the waterway. Therefore, Nurman painstakingly cultivated an inner line in Kangguo, in order to set foot in the Western Regions with internal and external cooperation.

Now that there is no news from Neiying, but the east bank has increased its troops by more than 100,000, Nurman has noticed that the situation has obviously changed. Now, he can only choose to withdraw from the army, or force the breakthrough of the Sam River. But he no longer knew the commander, troops, and defense situation of the other party, which made him very hesitant.

As a result, Nurman's garrison hesitated, and Su Dingfang held the defensive line without moving. The two sides were in a stalemate on both sides of the Sam River for more than a month, but they did not fire a single arrow or move a single soldier, just like two fierce beasts before fighting, they were waiting and watching in order to achieve a successful blow.

After learning about this situation, Qin Mubai's heart was a little calmer. Previously, he had been worried that Su Dingfang, who had a huge disparity in troops and fought in a different place and did not know the depth of the other party, would be difficult to resist the Arab god of war Nurman, and what worried him even more was the safety of Wu Meiniang.

Now, now that the North Court has been eliminated and the troubles have been eliminated, Qin Mubai can go to Kangguo boldly with confidence. But this does not mean that the matter on the side of Gongyue City is over.

The Second Court of the Western Turks in the North and South is the two largest forces in the Western Regions, and the two compete with each other while operating the blueprint of power in the Western Regions. Under their command, they have gathered a large number of small countries and tribes in the Western Regions. Now, there is no doubt that the South Court has become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and the North Court has initially decided that Qin Mubai must come up with a feasible plan at this time to surrender and pacify other small countries and tribes.

Qin Mubai handed over these jobs to Nanting's Khan Bo Bu Qin.

Qin Mubai invited him to Gongyue City and told him that he would go to the imperial court to express the "credit" of the Southern Court in helping the Tang Dynasty pacify the Northern Court and conquer the Western Regions, and ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to seal Bo Bu Qinqin as the first governor of the "Northern Court Governor's Mansion".

In other words, in addition to placing the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in Gongyue City, Qin Mubai will also place a "Metropolitan Governor's Mansion" under his jurisdiction that specializes in managing the aftermath of the two courts in the north and south. In this way, the native-born Khan King Bo Bu became a subordinate official of the Tang Dynasty and a "department manager" under Qin Mubai.

It was only fitting that Bo Bu Qin, the Turkic Khan, should deal with the affairs of the Turks.

Bo Bu has always admired Datang, and Nanting has always been good with Datang. The "Governor" who can do the Tang Dynasty may be knighted for merit in the future, but it is too late for him to rejoice, so he agreed.

Later, Qin Mubai heard that the first thing Bo Bu did after taking office was to invite the mud to sip. What specific method was used, Qin Mubai didn't know and didn't ask, in short, the former desert lord was familiar with mud, and now he has become a "working boy" under the "department manager".

According to Qin Mubai's plan, just wait for the table to arrive at the imperial court, and in the next few years, the land in the Western Regions, which originally belonged to the two courts of the north and south, will be divided into states and counties of the Tang Dynasty. That also means that from now on, there will be no more Turkic Khans and the two courts of the North and South in the Western Regions, only the feudal officials of the Tang Dynasty and the counties and counties.

In the battle of Gongyue City, Xue Rengui was terrified, Qin Mubai's soldiers were bloodless, and in less than a month, the Tang Dynasty started from Gaochang and expanded its territory to the Western Regions, completely solving the Western Turks, the most powerful force entrenched in the Western Regions. According to Qin Mubai's words, from now on, Datang will "cover the sky with one hand" in the Western Regions.

Qin Mubai left Bo Bu with more than 100,000 troops to sit in Gongyue City, and left Xue Rengui, the "God of War" in the eyes of the Turks, to assist him in dealing with the aftermath. Then, Qin Mubai personally led an army of more than 200,000 people, with Yuwen Hongtai as the vanguard, and advanced at full speed towards the suzerainty of Zhaowu Jiu, Kangju Kingdom!

Historically, the surname Zhaowu Jiu is a descendant of the Dayue clan, and later mixed with the Xiongnu and Sogdians, and has never belonged to the Central Plains and is different from the Chinese nation. According to Qin Mubai's conception, countries and tribes such as the Western Turkic North and South Court have always been enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and they must conquer and integrate it. However, the descendants of the Great Moon clan and the Sogdians, in terms of historical origin and regional race, were not suitable for conquest and integration, and could only be used as neighbors and auxiliary wings.

There is no question of military difficulty, but it involves Datang's international image and foreign policies. In the conquest of the Western Turks, the Tang Dynasty was famous for hanging the people and killing criminals; In the end, the Tang Dynasty helped the Southern Court unify the entire territory of the Western Turks, and Bo Bu was willing to serve the Tang Dynasty "on his own initiative". All of this makes sense.

The Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, which are descendants of the Dayue clan, have always lived alone in their own country, and they have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty. If the means of conquest and integration are also adopted against the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, then the Tang Dynasty will be referred to as the "aggressor". Now, in the name of Qin Mubai's troops, it is also out of the "invitation" of King Kangju to help friendly neighbors fight against the imminent invasion of the Great Food Country.

Although Qin Mubai did not receive any so-called "invitation letter", there was Wu Meiniang, the first assistant minister in charge of Kang ** affairs and foreign affairs, and the relationship between Qin Mubai and her was an invitation letter.

A long time ago, Li Shimin and Qin Mubai discussed the Great Timing of the Western Regions, and said that in this place of the Western Regions, there are many states and races, and there are many religions and beliefs. Therefore, in order to deal with the issue of the Western Regions, military affairs are not the first priority, and diplomacy needs to be the most cautious. When the two monarchs and ministers were constructing the blueprint for the Western Regions, they unanimously agreed on a principle, diplomatic pacification first, and military conquest first. A small country like Gaochang, which has a deep relationship with the Han nation, can rest assured and boldly conquer, persuade and appease it; Against an old enemy such as the Western Turks, it is necessary to carry out a strong military strike, and the treatment plan is similar to that of Tibet; As for the nine Zhaowu countries such as Kangju and Dawan, we can establish good-neighborly and friendly diplomatic relations with them, respect and preserve their national independence and national integrity, and let them become the left and right arms 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 beyond that of the Tang Dynasty. But Li Shimin can also have such a sober understanding, and Qin Mubai has to admire him very much. Li Shimin, he is strong and wise, but he is not easy to rejoice in his achievements and accuse himself of arrogance. He clearly knows the truth of "two fists are hard to beat four hands" and "contentment and happiness". No matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, the Central Plains is, after all, a country based on inland farming in Kyushu. It is certainly a good thing that he will be able to expand as much as possible during his lifetime. However, if we blindly carry out military expansion abroad, things will inevitably be reversed, and we will inevitably respond to the saying that "although a country is big, it will perish if it is warlike."

Therefore, the blueprint for the Western Regions drawn by Li Shimin is bounded by the Green Mountains, and is governed by mountains and mountains from Dashi and Western countries. And to the east of the Green Ridge, another country must be needed as a friendly neighbor of the Tang Dynasty to assist in the fight against the Great Food. In this way, there is not only a military buffer zone, but also Datang can maximize the huge commercial profits on the road of silk.

Count them all in one fell swoop!

And calculated in this way, the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, whose main business is business, are undoubtedly the best "partners" of Datang in the Western Regions.

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

Qin Mubai sketched it out one by one according to this blueprint.

Now, he has stood in the capital of the Kangju Kingdom, before the founding of the city of Sama. Ready to begin sketching, the final stroke of the blueprint.

This is what the city of Samarkand will be called! - What a gorgeous and beautiful city! Even Qin Mubai exclaimed like this.
