Chapter 1090: The Southern Regions Fight for Power

The war in Thang Long City was over, and the king of Annam saw that the 600,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty royal army were under the city of Chen Bing, so he could only choose to obediently follow the "recall order" of Ma Kuo and Wu Jue, and take the royal family to take an airship north to Bianjing to become a courtier and county king in the Great Song Dynasty together with Li Renai, the former lord of Western Xia, and Guan Xie Nu, the lord of Northern Yan.

However, the war in Thang Long City is over, and the war in Annam has not yet truly and completely ended. Because Zhong Xiang and his remnants were defeated, they were divided into 12 routes, and they were still fleeing in the direction of Angkor and Siam.

Against the royal forces of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhong Xiang's soldiers and horses suffered defeat. However, when the 12 soldiers and horses rushed to the south of Annam and the territory of Angkor, they instantly regained their strength and turned into a group of fierce tigers. Break the city and see the village to seize the village. The army blocks and kills the army, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha. Soon, more than 60 cities and more than 200 military fortresses were captured in the southern part of Angkor and Annam......

Zhong Xiangjun rushed to Angkor and Siam, which was the result of Ma Kuo and Wu Jue's overall plan, and on the battlefield in the Western Regions, another situation that made Wu Kuo and Ma Kuo happy was gradually improving.

First of all, Liu Jian attacked the 300,000 Western Liao forbidden army led by Yelu Dashi at the foot of Jinshan, and in the fierce battle of the eleventh, Liu Jian stubbornly beat the 300,000 horses of Yelu Dashi into a plate of scattered sand.

Immediately, Liu Qi ordered his troops to rush forward, adopting the tactics of dividing and encircling and breaking each one, and it took 14 days to kill the Yelu Dashi Division. In the end, Yelu Dashi fled all the way to the west with less than 30,000 people, and became another exotic warrior who killed the sphere of influence of the Great Song Dynasty and attacked the city.

In the battle of Jinshan, Liu Jian won a complete victory. At the same time, Zhang Heizi and Zhang Yang led his elite troops to chase and fight all the way, until the Black Khan King and the Seljuk reinforcements drove the troops to the source of the Yili River and the shore of Darinkul Lake.

With the lake of Darinkul in their backs, the Black Khan and the Seljuk reinforcements could only fight on their backs, and at the most critical moment, with the help of a group of Seljuk Zoroastrian mages, they burst into a shocking battle.

In the seventy-three days, the flamboyant fire cavalry attacked repeatedly, and only killed and wounded 120,000 of the 400,000 Western Regions coalition troops. At the same time, the 80,000 elites under Zhang Heizi who had managed to get together also paid a heavy price of 18,000 killed and 12,000 seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.

After a long time of attacking, Zhang Heizi saw that his capital was getting less and less, and in desperation, he could only send a letter of help to Liu Jian in the name of the deputy protector of the Western Regions.

After receiving Zhang Heizi's letter asking for help, Liu Jian first smiled coldly, and then wrote a letter to Ma Kuo and Wu Jue, asking Wu and Ma what guidance they had.

Then, Liu Jian sent a letter back to Zhang Heizi, and only put forward one request: to allow a part of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army outside Shule City to enter Shule City to "assist in the defense and supervision, help build a new army, help train new soldiers, and help to provide assistance in the future."

After receiving Liu Kuang's reply, Zhang Yang was so angry that he scolded again and again. What did he scold? scolded Liu Jian for wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and also wanted to take away his lair.

It's useless to be annoyed, since Liu Jian has made such a request, all Zhang Heizi can do is make a choice after thinking about it. In order to completely annihilate the Black Khan King in one fell swoop and complete his unification of the southern Xinjiang region, it was necessary to relinquish control of part of the city of Shule. If he wants Shule City, he can only continue to use the remaining 50,000 precious soldiers to storm and beat the Black Khan and Seljuk coalition forces.

After Zhang Yang didn't sleep for three days and three nights and thought hard, he still made a choice: to allow the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army to enter the city, but to make an appointment with Liu Jian for three chapters.

As long as Liu Kuang agreed to his request, giving up all control of Shule City for the time being in exchange for the unification of southern Xinjiang was the only most cost-effective deal.

So what did he ask for? These requirements were: First, after the forbidden army entered the city, all supplies were provided by Mrs. Wei Chi, who stayed behind, and the forbidden army did not have the right to requisition money and grain. Second, after the forbidden army enters the city, it can only assist in the city's defense, and it is not allowed to interfere in the military and political affairs of the city without authorization.

3. After entering the city, the area of forbidden military activities is limited to the area around Beishi, and it is not allowed to cross the border into other areas of the city. For those who cross the border without authorization, the Shule defenders have the right to arrest, torture and convict them.

What is the purpose of his three demands? When Liu Jian saw the letter sent by him again, he immediately guessed his intentions.

The money and food of the forbidden army entering the city were supplied by the wife of Wei Chi who stayed behind, but the forbidden army was not allowed to requisition it on its own, so that the fundamental rights such as Shule's taxes would not be taken away by the forbidden army.

After entering the city, he was only allowed to assist in the defense of the city, and was not allowed to interfere in the military and political affairs of the city, because he was afraid that the forbidden army would take away the legal and control power in the city.

And the last one is that he is afraid that the hidden military intelligence agents in the forbidden army will wander around the city to set up a secret agent network, or even plot against and disintegrate Zhang Heizi and Mrs. Wei Chi's control over the military and civilians in Shule City......

"It's like this, this sunspot still wants to be his overlord of the Western Regions. Hehe, am I a fool to be a grandfather? After reading the reply letter and guessing his heart, Liu Jian smiled coldly, and immediately picked up the pen and sent another letter to Zhang Heizi.

In this second letter, Liu Jian also put forward two requirements: first, after the forbidden army entered the city, he should provide Mrs. Wei Chi, who did not need to stay behind, because since Zhang Yang was already the deputy protector of the Western Regions, Shule City should also be managed by the Western Regions Protectorate, and the Western Regions Protectorate should be in charge of collecting taxes and paying money and grain.

A few days later, Liu Jian sent the rectifiers to Shule and formally established the Shule Political Administration, with the director of the Administration responsible for the management of money, grain and taxes in the city.

Second, the Shule City Patrol Bureau was composed of personnel selected and transferred by the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, Shule Liuhou, and the Forbidden Army, and the patrol envoys were appointed by the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and the two deputy envoys were appointed by the Forbidden Army and Shule Liuhou.

After the establishment of the Patrol Bureau, whether it was the forbidden army, the people who came and went from the Western Regions Protectorate, or the soldiers and horses who were flamboyant. Where there is a violation of the law, the patrol bureau has the right to exercise the legal power to arrest people.

Third, the Western Regions Protectorate, Shule Liuhou, and the Forbidden Army coordinated to jointly establish the Shule Mansion Yamen. The position of the prefect of Shule was filled by officials appointed by Zhang Yang, and the two judges on the left and right were appointed by the officials appointed by the Western Regions Protectorate and the Forbidden Army.

Anyone who violates the law in the city will be arrested by the Patrol Bureau and handed over to the prefect's yamen, where the prefect and the judge will jointly try the case.

At the end of the reply, Liu Jian also clearly stated that governing the country and the land according to the law is unquestionable, and Zhang Heizi can't help but negotiate again. Otherwise, not only will he not send troops to help him, but he will also officially lead the army into Shule City.

The struggle for power is a struggle for true control of the Western Regions. Liu Kuang's move was not for himself, but for the entire Great Song Dynasty. After Zhang Heizi saw his stern words in the letter, he knew in his heart that if he quarreled again, once Liu Kuang, the envoy of the capital, was in a hurry, he would really send troops to forcibly take Shule City, in that case, he would suffer the enemy on his back and would not be able to escape defeat.
