"Fought beautifully, and didn't lose the prestige of the first army on the edge of my town!"

Pei soothed the depression in his heart, and did not hesitate to praise Kendrick, who was shining.

Kendrick can already speak fluent Huaxia, except for the tone is a little weird, there is no obstacle to communicating with people, facing the award, he grinned with a smile and said: "These Arab guys are also reckless in the West, and when they meet the elite soldiers of Helong and the Shence army, they are not opponents at all." This is still a subordinate from afar, and his physical strength is slightly exhausted. Let the subordinates rest for a few days, and keep it so that the other party will not be able to move an inch. ”

For the soldiers under his command, Kendrick has absolute confidence.

Pei smiled and patted his shoulder to encourage: "I believe this, but there shouldn't be this opportunity." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Arab military camp on the other side of the Kabul River, at which point the Arabs should also retreat.

Even if the lion was unwilling, it would not help.

From the very beginning, the Arabs were not ready to fight this battle, and their previous preparations were to confuse Byzantium, and the real purpose was to capture Constantinople.

It was because of Tibet that they were forcibly dispatched.

Now that the Qinghai Lake in Tibet has been lost, Dazarugong has exchanged his life for stability on the plateau, temporarily protecting one acre and one-third of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Having lost the lifeblood of the economy and encountering another major defeat, Tubo will only be able to survive for a period of time in the future, and will not be able to give him any help.

The Arabs did not take advantage of their own hands, and now the Helong elite soldiers who captured Qinghai Lake are marching towards the Western Regions, and if they continue to fight blindly, they will bring about their own destruction.

Mosley Massa is certainly arrogant, but he is not unscrupulous, and he still understands the basic truth of advancing and retreating.

However, Pei didn't dare to be careless, it was up to people to make things happen, and it was up to heaven to make things happen.

Even if he was confident in his own judgment, Pei did not relax and still arranged a tight defense.

However, the overall situation is still moving according to the trend he expected, and since the last defeat, the Arabs have not attacked, but have rested and recuperated.

Just when Pei calculated when the Arabs would withdraw their troops, the Arabs still stood still.

Qinghai Lake!

Zhang Jiuling walked on the ancient Qinghai Road, looking at the historical relics along the way, there was endless agitation in his heart, and there was a desire in his heart, this is the place where he can show his talents.

Thinking of Pei Xinzhong's words, Zhang Jiuling's blood surged, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Zishou, Qinghai Lake is auspicious, since it is the territory of our dynasty, this lake is really a treasure of God's gift. Can animal husbandry and farming, fishing and hunting resources are abundant, as well as inexhaustible salt, mineral resources are also particularly rich, copper, tin, iron ore, as much as cow's hair, development, compared with Jianghuai, only surpassed. However, Qinghai Lake is relatively remote, inconvenient for transportation, and insufficient population, so that this blessed land of God's gift cannot be brought into full play. ”

"I want to open up Qinghai Lake for my dynasty...... If you want to give full play to the wealth of Qinghai Lake, you must open Qinghai Road, and Jiuling will go to Qinghai to see if it is feasible. ”

The Qinghai Road that Pei Xin said, Zhang Jiuling knows.

The exchange between the East and the West had already begun to appear in the pre-Qin era, but the real time of formation was during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Zhang Qian opened a historic scene in the Western Regions. Since then, the economic exchanges between the East and the West have been endless, and the trade routes of the Western Regions have also become the key to stimulating the economy of the East and the West.

In order to maintain the trade routes of the Western Regions, the countries of China did not hesitate to mobilize their troops and made many expeditions of thousands of miles, which shows the huge profits brought by the trade routes of the Western Regions to China.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the division of the north and the south, and the separation of political power, blocked the convenient tributary trade routes between Central Asia, West Asia and the Central Plains.

In the face of this situation, the Chinese merchants opened up a new route, avoiding the disputed Hexi Corridor, taking the Qiangzhong Road as the basic trunk line, connecting the Hehuang Road, Xishu Road, Tubo Road, Snow Mountain Road and other routes, so that Qinghai Lake became a commercial corridor connecting the east and west, and after nearly 500 years, the existence of Qinghai Road replaced the Hexi Corridor.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the majestic Emperor Taizong Li Shimin stabilized the western Xinjiang and re-established the Hexi Corridor, and the Qinghai Province declined.

It is not that Qinghai Road is inferior to the Hexi Corridor, but that the Hexi Corridor is the inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it is natural to develop the Hexi Corridor.

This is also one of the reasons why the Tang Dynasty could not control Qinghai Lake.

Not enough attention.

Pei wants to break this situation, make the treasure of Qinghai Lake an inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty, and let the Chinese people talk about Qinghai Lake as if it were their own Jiangnan, an inseparable part of the Chinese territory.

It's just that Pei is a little worried, if he really wants to reopen Qinghai Road, will it affect the Hexi Corridor.

This point is very crucial, the Hexi Corridor is the core of the Western Regions trade route, and it will cause great problems.

As soon as Zhang Jiuling arrived at Qinghai Lake, he immediately set out to investigate the value of Qinghai Lake and whether it was worthy of development as Pei said.

This investigation shocked this famous man in history.

The value of Qinghai Lake is truly astonishing.

Compared with the rich development of the Chinese land, this Qinghai Lake is an uncarved jade, as long as the carving is good, it is no less than half a point of Jianghuai and Jiangnan.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jiuling recalled the ruins of Qinghai Road and found that Pei's concerns were unnecessary.

Qinghai Road will not dominate the crowd, but can become an auxiliary road of the Hexi Corridor and assist the prosperity of the Hexi Corridor.

Not only that, Zhang Jiuling also found that in addition to connecting Hehuang Road, Qinghai Road also has a Xishu Road that can connect Xishu.

Nowadays, when it comes to the economic center of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an is the well-deserved first, followed by Luoyang, and the third is Liangzhou Guzang.

The so-called Yang Yiyi is because after the Anshi Rebellion, the northerners moved south, which stimulated the development of Yangzhou and Yizhou, so there is a Yang Yiyi 21 theory.

However, it is undeniable that Yangzhou and Yizhou are now developing very rapidly, although they are not as good as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Guzang, but they also have the momentum of surpassing Taiyuan, Hedong, and Anyang, Hebei.

As long as the Xishu Road is connected, Qinghai Lake and Shuzhong will benefit together.

Discovering this, Zhang Jiuling was really happy in his heart, and made a decision in his heart that he would completely develop Qinghai Lake no matter what.

Only by developing Qinghai Lake can Qinghai Lake be valuable, and the imperial court will attach importance to it and regard it as an indispensable territory.

Qinghai Lake's economic value and strategic value are beyond the imagination of today's people.

Zhang Jiuling once again admired Pei's boss in his heart.

In this kind of overall situation, Zhang Jiuling even feels that Pei's concept and common sense are more than a hundred years ahead of him.

But he didn't know that this was putting gold on his face, and the real situation was more than a hundred years?

"Mr. Zhang, drink water!"

Wang rarely respectfully handed the water to Zhang Jiuling.

Qinghai Lake is newly determined, there are many undercurrents, for the sake of safety, Wang Zhongsi specially let his henchmen and generals lead the troops to escort Zhang Jiuling around to patrol.

Wang is rarely a rough person, so he respects intellectuals like Zhang Jiuling very much, and takes care of them all the way.

Zhang Jiuling didn't have the stinky temper of those pedantic literati, and said politely: "Thank you." ”

Yiwen and Wuwu get along well.

"It's been hard these days, and if you walk with me for a while, you can go back!" Zhang Jiuling drank water and touched the beads of sweat on his forehead.

It's summer now, and there's a section of Qinghai Road that is desert, and they're on the edge of the desert, and it's very hot.

While he was resting, two soldiers escorted the two of them over.

Zhang Jiuling and Wang rarely heard the movement and looked over curiously.

The other party had already taken the first step and shouted: "Brother Zishouxian, Brother Zishouxian, help!" ”

Zhang Jiuling saw that the person who came had a dusty face, and his face and body were all dirty, almost the same as a beggar on the roadside, and he couldn't recognize it for a while.

There is a person beside him, he is human, he is his cronies, who came to Qinghai Lake with him, and is responsible for the affairs of the family.

The person who came reported his name and said: "Brother Zishou Xian, it's me, it's Zhang Guang." ”

"Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Jiuling was shocked and recognized the person.

Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Guang are actually not familiar with each other, and they nod to each other.

Zhang Jiuling has been in Liangzhou, Hexi for many years, and many faces are not remembered, let alone this appearance, naturally he can't recognize it.

Zhang Jiuling's acquaintance is Zhang Guang's younger brother, Zhongshu Ling Zhang said.

Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Shuo intersected.

In history, Zhang said that he worshiped the prime minister, and had high hopes for Zhang Jiuling, discussed with him, and promoted him all the way. Even when he was terminally ill, he still recommended Zhang Jiuling like Li Longji.

Zhang Jiuling also got ahead proudly and became the last famous minister of Li Longji's Kaiyuan Dynasty.

Nowadays, history is changing, and Pei will take Zhang Jiuling for his own use.

Even so, Zhang Shuo often repaired books to Zhang Jiuling, wanting to dig into the corner of Pei's wall and let Zhang Jiuling enter the court to help him.

It's just that Zhang Jiuling didn't agree, but the relationship between the two is like a family.

In Zhang Jiuling's memory, Zhang Guang's official residence is not a male position but a position that cannot be underestimated, why is this virtue?

It was rare for the king to see that the person who came was known to Zhang Jiuling, and waved his hand to let the soldiers let the two go.

Zhang Guang hurriedly came to the nearest place and said: "It is said that my brother was framed by someone, and now he is imprisoned in the Imperial History Terrace for His Majesty, and now half of the courtiers have fallen into the ground." As a brother, I really can't think of anyone who can save my brother, and after thinking about it, only Zishou Xiandi may have this ability. ”

Zhang Jiuling's face changed suddenly, and he said solemnly: "How can this be? What's going on? ”

Zhang said that he was also the prime minister of the DPRK and China, and he had a credit to the imperial court, and he was still Shilin Wenzong, even if there was any accident, he would not be imprisoned in the imperial history platform.

Zhang Guang said angrily: "It's all Yuwenrong who is making trouble with that villain Wang." ”

Zhang Jiuling was stunned, and he couldn't say anything.

He has heard of this matter, Yu Wenrong is not a traitor, but a capable minister.

The problem of peasant exile was a major problem in the 10th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the vast number of peasants were forced to flee from their places of origin by heavy servitude, some became displaced people, and some became tenants of landlords, and the household registration of the whole country was greatly reduced, which seriously affected the financial and tax revenues of the Tang court.

Yuwenrong proposed a plan for Li Longji to check the evasive households, increase the rental income, and reformulate the method of the inspection.

Yu Wenrong was also appointed as the leaning and land tax envoy, and a series of reforms not only solved the urgent needs of the imperial court, but also won the support of the general public.

It's just that Yuwenrong is re-governed, and he feels that as long as the people are rich and the people are stable, it is completely unnecessary to expand the territory, it is a move to work the people and lose money, as long as they maintain their own territory, it is enough......

His philosophy is acquainted with the second prime minister, Li Yuan.

But Zhang Shuo is the kind of prime minister who attaches importance to military development, so he looks at Yu Wenrong very unpleasantly, hates him as a person, fears his power, becomes Li Yuan's helper, and deliberately suppresses him.

Therefore, Yu Wenrong said to Zhang that he hated it to the bone.

This difference in concept cannot be simply based on right and wrong, Zhang Jiuling's heart is like a mirror, and it is difficult to say much.

However, Wang is not in Zhang Jiuling's impression.

Zhang Jiuling asked, "Who is Wang?" Recently, my brother has been busy with Western things, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Gyeonggi. ”

Zhang Guang sighed: "If only Yu Wenrong is okay, he can't make big waves." The real killer is precisely this king, Zishou Xiandi doesn't understand, this person is a treacherous villain who slaps horses, but he is deeply valued by His Majesty. Nowadays, the temple is the first to serve in the high house, and the second is to belong to the king. He is now mainly in charge of the position of Taifu Temple, but at the same time, he also serves as the envoy of the hukou color, the envoy of the Gyeonggi interview, the director of the governor, and the envoy of planting. ”

"Saying that the younger brother is upright, and opposing the king's takeover of the Taifu Temple was hated, so he contacted Yu Wenrong, the imperial historian Cui Yinfu, and the criminal department Shangshu Wei Kang to deal with the younger brother. Brother Zishou Xian also knows the temper of his younger brother, he is irritable, he often treats things not people when he encounters things, and often refutes his colleagues in person, and even scolds and abuses. There are indeed many wrongs in dealing with people, and this suffering can be regarded as a wall falling down and everyone pushing it. ”

"Now Yushitai is mainly in charge of Yu Wenrong, saying that his brother fell into his hands, and there is more luck and less luck...... also asked Zishou Xiandi to help. ”

Saying that, Zhang Guang bowed deeply to Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling hurriedly helped Zhang Guang up, pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Zhang thinks too highly of the foolish brother, just the foolish brother's connections, who can say about Chang'an?" In this way, I will repair the book to Pei Shuai and explain this matter in detail. I am a light talker, not enough to succeed, but Pei Shuai is an important minister of the country, the pillar of optimus, if he is willing to help, I believe that even if Yuwenrong resents Brother Zhang, he will not dare to mess around. ”

He paused, and then said: "I should tell you in detail about this matter, whether Pei Shuai is willing to help, this one is not sure, so he can only do his best." ”

Zhang Guang was overjoyed, he didn't really pin his hopes on Zhang Jiuling here. This time, the Lord asked for Pei behind Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling also understands this, and his willingness to repair the book is not simply based on the relationship with Zhang Shuo, but from the overall situation.

The real situation of Wang's personality, Zhang Jiuling is not easy to elaborate, after all, it is one-sided.

But Zhang said that it was Shilin Wenzong, and he was loyal to Li Tang.

At the beginning of the Wu Zetian period, he dared to confront Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Yizhi, and during the Tang Ruizong period, he dared to compete for peace, and he was Li Longji's mastermind.

Zhang said that if he was persecuted because of this matter, the impact on the imperial court and Li Longji would be too great.
