"Dashuai, Jiamu brought." In Jiaohe City, Wan Yi was leading people to count the seized Uighur royal treasury, and more than 1,000 personal guards brought by Wan Yi continued to command Hamoud's subordinates to move all the family properties of the princes and nobles who were killed and raided to the royal treasury for cleaning and centralized inventory.

However, at this time, Wan Yi heard Liu Xuan's voice behind him before he started, so Wan Yi shook his head, turned around and saw that Liu Xuan and Hammoud had already walked over with Jia Mu, it seemed that Jia Mu's expression was a little not good, and the stubborn aura on his body before hanging his head had disappeared at this time.

"Haha, General Hamoud, this battle is not a small credit." Wan Yi smiled at Hammud, who saluted him: "After these treasures are transported back to the base camp, I think the cabinet will give you a medal, and the emperor will receive you in person." ”

Wan Yi's words surprised Hammud deeply, and even Jiamu next to him glanced up at Wan Yi, as if he was surprised that the other party was so interested in these gold and silver treasures, and even the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to these money.

"Don't underestimate these gold and silver treasures, with them we will have more money and food to continue the expedition, and more money and food to subsidize the local areas, appease the people, and even invest in helping the Uighurs quickly get rid of poverty and become rich. It can be said that the role of these gold and silver treasures will definitely not be low. I think that once the cabinet has decided on the regional planning of Gaochang, a large amount of funds will be allocated to Gaochang locally, which will also quickly promote local development. Wan Yi said with a smile as he walked with a few people: "At that time, Datang Qianzhuang will also open a branch in Jiaohe City, and the Uighur people can also use Tang coins like my Datang mainland." ”

"Two, if you want to know about this, you can go to learn more about it when our deputy prime minister arrives in Jiaohe City, and there is no less knowledge in this than fighting." Liu Xuan smiled when he saw the eyes of the two, but he didn't explain too much, originally these leading generals didn't know much about political affairs, and with the improvement of their own status, including Wan Yi, they were very taboo to meddle in government affairs, so Liu Xuan began to smile after mentioning a sentence: "There is good news from General Shi's side, they have organized troops for a counteroffensive, it is estimated that if there is no follow-up force on the Anxi side to continue to invest, I think the war on the Western Front may end a little earlier than the deputy marshal's side." ”

Liu Xuan's words made Jia Mu stunned for a moment, but then his face changed, and he suddenly said: "Dashuai, although Jiamu has decided to return to the Tang Dynasty, he has a reluctant request, and he also asks Dashuai to fulfill it." "The Anxi Uighurs are obviously much worse than the Gaochang Uighurs, so the Tang Yan of Jiamu is a lot stiffer, but it can be understood comparatively.

"Oh, tell me about it." Wan Yi originally planned to let Liu Xuan transfer part of the troops from Nancheng back to Jiaohecheng and part of the northwest to assist Gao Siji in completely destroying the last resistance of the Gaochang Uighurs.

"Please don't let Jiamu participate in the war with my own clan, if you fight against other tribes, Jiamu is obligated and will do his best, but for my own people, Jiamu can't do it." Seeing Wan Yi's expression, Jia Mu understood that the other party had guessed his thoughts, but he still gritted his teeth and said.

"Now that everyone has spoken, then I won't hide it anymore, Jiamu, you should know why Hammoud took action to purge most of the forces in Jiaohe City before, right? Do you think General Hammoud did something wrong? Wan Yi beckoned everyone to sit in a guarded guard in front of the treasury, and after letting the guards around him disperse, he continued: "Now I want to say that General Jiamu, although the Uighurs had many confrontations with our China in the later period of the Anshi Rebellion, they had a common friendship with our Anxi army in the northwest in Anxi. Wan Yi looked at him and said: "Datang remembers the mistakes you made before the Uighurs, which requires your tribe to pay enough price to atone, this is not your business alone, this is the business of the entire tribe, each tribe needs to atone for their crimes yesterday, otherwise, even if the emperor agrees not to pursue it, do you think you will be able to truly integrate into the Tang Dynasty in the future?" Could it be that he really wants to be driven further west and leave Anxi? ”

"I have only one purpose for letting you participate in this campaign, the Anxi Uighurs need to eliminate the chaff, we need to eliminate those restless elements and forces that have lost their enterprising spirit, and liberate those moderates or your Jiamu descendants from it, so that we can lead the Anxi Uighurs to integrate into the Tang Dynasty and become a part of the Tang Dynasty, and I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, also need to see a completely different Uighur from the past, get rid of the old crimes of oppressing the Tang people, and renew their hearts to the new tribes of the Tang Dynasty." Wan Yi said earnestly: "And you Jiamu is the best candidate for my Anxi Uighurs, if you withdraw at this time, then it means that the Anxi Uighurs will not be included in the consideration of my Datang, and there are only two endings for the Anxi Uighurs, either they will be merged by the Hammud and their Gaochang Uighurs, or they will be driven out as enemies and become a wandering tribe, and even in the future, they will have to leave wherever my Datang's footsteps go, until a Jiamu appears among them again, and can be recognized by my Datang." ”

Wan Yi's words made Jiamu silent for a while, and even Hamoud on the side understood Wan Yi's thoughts at this moment, the crimes committed by the Uighurs in Anxi did not disappear with the passage of time and their current submission, and even if His Majesty the Emperor and the high-level of the Tang Dynasty did not mention it, the people would not forget it. If you want to live in harmony with other tribes in the Tang Dynasty in the future, there is only one way to be treated equally, to hang the people who committed crimes in the past, to exchange blood and sacrifice for the understanding of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and to exchange the sacrifice of some people for the peace of the entire tribe. Thinking of this, Hammud looked at Wan Yi's dark and cold face, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he originally just wanted to make Datang recognize himself more in the future, and recognize the Uighur people of Gaochang, but the unintentional purge was more recognized by the other party, compared to when Wan Yi decided to enter the city, the other party had already made a choice.

"Dashuai, although I have never been to the Central Plains in Anxi, I have heard for a long time that the Central Plains Tang Dynasty has been based on leniency since ancient times, why are you obsessed with the old grudges of the past? If the Great Marshal agrees, I am willing to bear any punishment of the Tang Dynasty with my own body, and I only hope that the Great Marshal can spare my people, after all, the old things have long passed, and I will also deal with the matter of the Uighurs oppressing the Tang people impartially, is it really necessary to cause a large-scale purge to end the old grudges? Jiamu's face became extremely pale, he understood what Wan Yi meant, but he couldn't bear to attack his compatriots in the past, which he was different from Hammud, when Hammud captured Jiaohe City, he was able to order a purge in the face of his Great Khan, and at this time, Jiamu was unable to control his heart before the last step.

"Forget it, I've already said it's not your business alone, but since you don't want to face it, I won't force it." Wan Yi shook his head, obviously a little disappointed by Jiamu's actions, the strength of the Anxi Uighurs is much stronger than that of the Gaochang Uighurs, and the area under their control is also more extensive, and the important towns of Anxi in the past have basically fallen into their hands, now as the army has not yet entered these places, as long as these Western Expeditionary Troops with Shi Jian and other former Anxi old people as the main force enter these places, and then dig out the old things of the year, then the result will inevitably be a bloody massacre, and no one can stop it at that time, not to mention the Anxi Corps led by Zhang Sheng, These people were all descendants of the Tang people and the descendants of the nine surnames of Zhaowu directly selected from the northwest, and their hatred for the Uighurs was enough to plunge the real Anxi Uighurs into a catastrophe, and they were afraid that it would not only be the Uighurs who would suffer, but also the other tribes that were attached to the Uighur wings would be slaughtered, and the whole of Anxi would be plunged into a long period of killing and unrest. This is also the reason why Li Xuanqing asked Xuanyingwei to send a secret letter to him after careful consideration, not only to maintain the stability of Anxi so that the Uighurs and other large and small tribes would not fall into the scourge of extermination, but also to wash away the shame of the extermination of the army and appease the souls who had died tragically under the Uighur butcher's knife over the years. But the performance of the armor in front of him disappointed him. However, after all, Wan Yi was the commander of the party that commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest, so seeing this, he didn't say much, and arranged for Liu Xuan to take Jiamu down to rest, and then smiled bitterly at Hammud beside him: "It seems that it is time for you two Uighurs to become one. ”

Wan Yi's wry smile Hammud saw it in his eyes, and naturally understood the reason for the other party's wry smile, but unlike Jiamu, Hammud was much more decisive and more identified with Wan Yi's thinking, so he nodded without hesitation: "If the marshal thinks that Hammud can, the last general is willing to do it, but after the merger of the two Uighurs, both the population and the territory of power will increase several times." It's only been a few days since I returned to the Tang Dynasty, and even if I march into Anxi in the future, it won't be too long, and such a huge tribe is placed in such a heavy place, I'm afraid" Hammoud glanced at Wan Yi and said with a wry smile: "The last general has no other meaning, and he is also desperate for Datang, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have other thoughts in the future, so"

"I understand what you mean, on the one hand, I am worried that in the future, there will be unscrupulous people under my command who will have such a large population and tribe and have strange thoughts and repeat the mistakes of the past, and on the other hand, I am worried that the emperor will be suspicious of you Uighurs because of this, right?" Wan Yi glanced at the other party and smiled: "If I tell you that the emperor has found another way, do you believe it or not?" And you also underestimate the strength of our current emperor, and underestimate the strength of my Datang. ”

"Isn't it?" Hammoud blurted out, but then he found the meaning of Wan Yi's words, and said hurriedly: "What does the marshal mean by this?" The emperor found another way? Is it the need for us to migrate? ”

"Looks like you know a little bit about civil affairs?" Wan Yi looked at the middle-aged general in front of him in a little surprise and said with a smile: "Migrating population is also a way, but it is not what the emperor thinks. Do you know what basic national policy Datang is implementing now? ”

"Ethnic integration plus separation of military and government." Wan Yi continued: "Ethnic integration can eliminate the estrangement between the various tribes as much as possible, rebuild a new type of tribal relationship between you and me, and jointly build a big family of the Chinese nation, so that the hatred between the Uighurs and the Han people can be quickly eliminated after the war, and the old grievances between the two ethnic groups can be resolved." And the separation of military and political affairs is the greatest guarantee of the situation you just mentioned. Moreover, the cabinet will certainly not arrange for your own civil affairs to be in charge of the affairs of your own territory in the Uighurs. In the future, the civil officials you have selected from the Uighurs will definitely be transferred to the Central Plains, and the civil officials from the Central Plains will be transferred to the Northwest, so that this will not happen. In this way, after a long time, the Uighurs and the Han Chinese were indistinguishable from each other, and no one could shake the situation on the Anxi side. Wan Yi generally introduced the national policy of national integration and separation of military and political affairs, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, these are not my strengths, if you have any doubts, wait until Anxi is stable, follow me to Chang'an, and then the emperor and the prime minister will personally introduce you to you, you can ask for yourself at that time." Or wait until the deputy prime minister comes to Jiaohe City and you ask him, he was originally a party member, but he has also achieved the deputy prime minister, a pivotal member of the empire. ”

"Rest assured, Hammoud knows what to do. I will do my best to integrate the Uighurs into the Tang Dynasty. After Hammud silently digested Wan Yi's words, his eyes must have opened his mouth and saluted: "Handsome but there are orders, Hammud must saddle the horse before and after, and never give up." ”

"Okay, I originally planned to let the chief of staff lead the team to the northwest front line to assist General Gao, but now that Jiamu is unwilling, then our strategy will have to be changed. You immediately go to the chief of staff and then lead your old troops with him to set off for the northwest immediately, obey General Gao's dispatch, and try to recover the Tingzhou army. Wan Yi took Hammud as he walked, and the two of them immediately found Liu Xuan after leaving the treasury, and then Hammoud and Liu Xuan led the 20,000 cavalry of the Uighur headquarters of Gaochang to quickly move towards the northwest.

It can be said that Wan Yi's timely change of deployment had a miraculous effect later, not only quickly pacifying Gaochang, but also bringing new opportunities for the integration of the two Uighurs after the war. After Hamoud himself had a heart-to-heart with Wan Yi, he became more identified with the Tang Dynasty's concept of governance, and this Uighur general gradually exuded a demeanor that was not inferior to other generals of the Tiance Army after solving the affairs of his own clan with the pace of the Tiance Army's conquest, and later became famous in the battle against the forces of the Tianfang Sect, and became famous.

However, when Wan Yi redeployed the post-war Uighurs, Xuanyingwei's deployment in Gaochang was also at the final moment of closing the net, Zhao Si immediately deployed a plan to split the Shatuo people after seeing Shi Congxin, and Shi Congxin also began to gather his cronies when Hammud led the army to the northwest, preparing to launch an attack on Li Cunqiao and the leader of Luntai Shatuo, and behind him, Su Xiaohu and the Flying Eagle Brigade were also lurking in, staring at the big tent of the Shatuo people, with a look of eagerness in his eyes.
