The Hanzhong region is composed of two inland river basins, one is the Yaosha River (now the Syr Darya), the other is the Wuhu River (now the Ahao River), the essence of the Samanid Dynasty is located in the middle of the two inland river basins along the Nami River, the tributary of the Wuhu River, the largest and most prosperous city of the Samanid Dynasty Nami, Samarkand, Kushan, Mulu, Bukhara, all are located along the banks of this tributary, because this area is located in the middle of the two rivers, so it is called "in the river".

In June of the fourth year of Tiance, the Western Regions ushered in the hottest season, which was also the heyday of the Yaosha River, Satuk conquered Bukhara, and immediately turned his strategic focus to the east, the situation in Bukhara was not stable, and his army could not be transferred eastward for a while, so the method used was to send rangers to patrol the river, and the main would be Ishta.

Ishtar was familiar with the Samanid situation and had been fighting in the river for many years, so it can be said that he was the native army. Zhang Mai, Guo Luo, Guo Wei and other generals of the Tang Army relied on intelligence to use troops, although there were many guides in the army, and even many generals in the Hezhong region, but this could not offset the shortcomings of the core decision-making level that there were no locals, so they were more cautious in the use of troops. Guo Luo and Guo Wei both believe that at this point, defeating Satuk is not a miracle, but what they should be careful about is to suffer a peak defeat like the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Taoshui, which turned from prosperity to decline and was defeated by people with less and more.

"Now that we are in a foreign land, we may not be accustomed to the water and soil, the geography is not familiar, if we rely entirely on the West Key to surrender, there is also a certain risk, the supply line is long, and the soldiers have pride in their repeated victories, once the other party finds a flaw, then it will be thousands of miles of embankment, collapse in the anthill." Guo Wei believes that the various characteristics of the Tang Army of Tiance now have a lot of secret coincidences with Cao Cao's army before the Battle of Chibi, so we need to be careful.

Guo Luo also said: "We are an army from afar, for more than 100 years, the propaganda of the Tianfang country is to take the Tianfang Sect as the orthodoxy and the Tang Dynasty as a foreign country, so we have entered the hearts of the people in the Hezhong region is an invasion, and we still have peace of mind about our intentions, 100,000 troops can be a large force, but there are only a few people in a radius of thousands of miles."

Therefore, it is advisable to be cautious in the use of troops. ”

At this time, Ma Jirong put forward the Tianfang Sect to ask the thieves in the Hezhong area, the biggest problem is the religious problem, here and Ningyuan, Broken, Shule, Ningyuan, Broken, Shule when the Tang Army entered, were just established the policy of Heavenly Exclusive Respect, there are many non-Tianfang believers in the territory, and even many of the Tianfang Sect themselves are just converted, and their beliefs are not firm, so as soon as the Tang Army launched the policy of religious freedom and religious equality, the non-Tianfang believers are very supportive, and the first converts in the Tianfang Sect have no resistance. There was little pressure on Zhang's religious policy.

"But it's different here in the river." Ma Jirong said: "The Tianfang Sect has been rooted here for nearly a hundred years, and the people believe in the Tianfang Sect to the point of almost superstition, and they simply think that since the beginning of the world, this is the land of the Tianfang Sect, and they take it for granted that all the Tianfang Sect is a qiē, and all the qiē that contradicts the Tianfang Sect they think is heresy and a devil!" If we still want to implement the strategy of religious peace, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar**! ”

Zhang Mai asked Wei Renpu, and Wei Renpu said: "There are two kinds of governance in the newly established country, one is to rule from the customs, and the other is to rule from the right. Zhang Mai asked: "What is the rule of the vulgar?" What is Righteousness? ”

Wei Renpu said: "In that year, the Western Zhou Dynasty conquered the Shang Dynasty, divided the countries, and settled two great powers in the east, which was farthest from the manuscript capital, one was the Qi State of Jiang Taigong and the other was the Lu State of the Duke of Zhou. ”

Jiang Taigong is Jiang Ziya, the founding minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and the commander of the warlords, and the head of the Jiang family In history, Jiang Ziya is not the kind of "Weishui meets King Wen" Bai Ding, but the head of a large family, the relationship between him and King Wen of Zhou is not a "knowing" relationship, but a kind of ** union, the alliance of the merchants, is to take the combination of Ji and Jiang as the core mother. As for the Duke of Zhou being the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, this kind of close relationship is not bothered

Wei Renpu continued: "In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the whole world was not stable, especially in the East! At this time, King Wu of Zhou suddenly died of illness, and Duke Zhou had to be the regent of Jujing, and sent his son to the feudal state of Lu, and at the same time, Jiang Taigong also went to the state of Qi. But the two people's methods of governing the country are completely different: Jiang Taigong rules from the customs, that is, he does not change the original customs of the Qi country, and according to the environment and public conditions at the time, the effect is very fast, and he returns to the draft in three months to say that the Qi country has been decided. The son of the Duke of Zhou came to the Lu State, but he ruled from the right, that is, he used the etiquette and music culture of the Western Zhou Orthodox Dynasty to teach the residents of the Lu State one by one, and he simply transformed them into Zhou people, so it took three years to be considered successful. ”

Zhang Mai asked: "So is it better to rule from the vulgar or from the right?" ”

Ma Jirong has also read a lot of books, and when he saw that Wei Renpu was still groaning, he said: "Jiang Qi ruled from the vulgar and achieved quick results, and then the strength of the Qi country, with Zhou Tong, was the chief of the princes for three hundred years, and dominated the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States for five hundred years!" Lu Ze has always been in name only, from one of the top two powers in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, to the Spring and Autumn Period to become a second-rate country, to the Warring States period has been completely out of the stream! Therefore, Qi Zheng is better than Lu Zheng, let alone say? ”

Zhang Mai also groaned, noncommittal, and asked Wei Renpu again: "What do you think?" ”

Wei Renpu said: "If you talk about the difference between Qi and Lu, it is true that Qi is strong and Lu is weak, but the heirs of Lu are endless, almost the same as the Zhou Dynasty, but Qi has been cut since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qi State that entered the Warring States has been replaced by the Tian family, although it is still called Qi State, it is no longer Jiang Qi, but Tian Qi." Although the country of Lu is weak, but evolved into Wenzong, after the Spring and Autumn Period, the Taoist system all came out of Lu, the two Confucian and Mo families started from Lu, the prosperity of the momentum goes without saying, the Han family Taoism, the backbone also came from Lu Wen This is two weeks has been destroyed, and Lu can save the authentic reason of the Zhou Daotong. At that time, Qi was strong and weak, and today's Shandong ground is called Lu but not Qi. In those years, Qi flourished and Lu declined, and today the Chinese literature is Zonglu, and the customs of Qi are lost in the millennium. ”

Zhang Mai nodded, and Wei Renpu said: "And at that time, although the ground of Shandong was different from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was actually still in China, and it was the two major systems of ancient China, and it was the difference within the system. As for today's heaven, it is all outside of China. If in the Qi ** River, within a hundred years, it will be self-reliant due to customs, even if the descendants of the marshal are still the kings, the descendants of the marshal are already the kings of heaven, and they will no longer be the kings of China. The strength of the military and government is a matter of a hundred years, the strength of the Taoist system is a thousand-year thing, and the strength of the clan system is a matter of ten thousand years! It is difficult for Lu Zheng to succeed, and Qi Zheng is also governed, but Renpu thinks that it is better to be difficult first and then easy, and Huaxia Taoism cannot be lost! ”

Guo Luo applauded: "Not bad! That's right! Vulgar things should not be left to our children and grandchildren, if we find it difficult, then our children and grandchildren will not have the courage to do it! ”

Guo Wei was also nodding, Ma Jirong looked at the situation, and also nodded: "Wei Xiansheng is really thinking about the long term." "In fact, this is because he was born in Yan, although he has been loyal to Tiance Datang, there is still an idea of autonomy for the vassal deep down in his heart, unlike Wei Renpu from the Central Plains, who is deeply rooted in the Taoism of the Han family, so he thinks things in a different direction.

Zhang Mai saw that his subordinates had basically reached an agreement with him, and this statement was also in line with the previous colonial ideas, and said: "Since this is the case, then slowly march into the army, and our religious policy will remain the same."

Keep pushing west. We are now on the rise, and the strength of a battle is nothing, but we can't leave the hidden worry of letting our children and grandchildren become outsiders! ”

The Tang army continued to advance westward, still advocating religious freedom and ruling religion with political power, not recognizing the sanctity of the caliphate, and at the government level, he regarded Mur Hammad as one of the great figures close to the founders of religion such as Shakyamuni, Jesus, and Zoroaster.

In fact, this is already a kind of respect for the Tianfang Sect by the Tiance regime, recognizing that it is a great religion, and there is nothing wrong with describing greatness itself, but the problem lies in "one"!

The Celestial Sect believes that Harmony is the "One", how can it be the "One"!

Therefore, after the policy was decided, it really aroused fierce resistance in the riverside area.

Countless staunch followers of the Heavenly Fang Sect in the Hanzhong region were very angry, and the radicals were even more furious, thinking that Bogra Khan's propaganda was right, and this Zhang Mai was indeed the great devil from hell, intending to subvert the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Fang Sect! They turned the spearhead around at once and aimed at the Tiance Tang Army! Countless sectarians spontaneously mobilized and ambushed along the Yaosha River, and the entire Hezhong region suddenly became extremely tense, and even many Hezhong patriarchs who originally came to take refuge in Zhang Mai secretly fled, and even secretly could** with Satuk.

There was even a patriarch who burned down many rafts before leaving, and the battle situation in the river changed from the absolute superiority of the Tiance Tang army to unpredictable for a while. Zhang Mai didn't know about the religious policy implemented by Hezhong, but they always thought that when they arrived in Hezhong, the marshal wouldn't dare to do the same!

After all, it is the land of Xinyi, and it is normal for it to be "degenerated", but the tradition of the Tianfang Sect in the river region has been established for hundreds of years, and everyone thinks that they have the noble blood of the true god in their blood, how can they still degenerate into kaffir? This is as uncomfortable for the radicals as it is to degenerate into pigs and dogs! For the moderates, it was full of disappointment for Zhang Mai.

Originally, in the Hanzhong area, only the radicals supported Satuk, and there was still a little suspicion in this support, and the agents of the eternal people in the mountains still had doubts about whether Satuk really was, but after hearing that Zhang Mai continued to implement the broken set after arriving at Pingge without any intention of "repenting", all the radicals consciously gave up this doubt, thinking that Zhang Mai's threat was really unprecedented! All of them were closely united around the Hui nobles with Satuq as the core, and the combination of the Heavenly Sect and the Hui clan became unprecedentedly close, entering the second honeymoon period.

Not only the radicals, but also the moderates, and a large part of them turned to support Satuk, at least Satuq also recognized the uniqueness of the Heavenly Sect!

As for the wall-riding faction that first took refuge in Zhang Mai, they originally saw that the Tang army would win, but now they are shaken when they see this shape. At least as far as public opinion is concerned, the shape shì has become unfavorable to the Tang army.

Satuk fled from Shatter all the way like a lost dog, although he captured Bukhara, he still could not stand firm, and only then did he become ecstatic, and said to Su Lai: "Zhang Mai has made a big mistake this time! If he takes the soldiers and horses of the West Keys as the vanguard, takes the elite soldiers as the middle, does not violate the customs of heaven, and sweeps all the way to the city of Bukhara under the banner of supporting the Samanid royal family, we are afraid that we may not be able to repel them head-on! Now it's the wrath of the people! He himself has created a situation that is so unfavorable to him, but this situation will make me rise for the third time! ”

Su Lai said: "Great Khan, you still have to be careful, Zhang Mai is not a person who is rigid and unscrupulous, and there are many people under his command who are good at long-term planning, since he has made such a short-term very unfavorable decision, I think he has made the most tragic plan!" ”

"What is the peyster?"

Su Lai said: "If he wants to recover the Tang Dynasty, then I am afraid that even if he slaughters the river, he will not hesitate!" ”

Everyone around, including the agent of the Mountain Eternals, was amazed!

Satuk turned silent, but just then came the news: "Samarkand has surrendered!" ”

At this time, on the west bank of the Yaosha River, Nami, Kushan, Mulu, and Bukhara had all been captured by Satuk, while the largest city Samarkand was still holding out, but in early June, Samarkand, which had held out for nearly a year, suddenly announced its surrender and took refuge in Satuk as a complete big city

Although Bukhara is the capital of Samani, Samarkand is the largest city in the river, and in this era it can even be regarded as a super city that surpasses Shule and is comparable to Baghdad. The population of the city is still over half a million people! And there are farmland and water conservancy facilities around the city that can feed these 500,000 people! That's a terrible potential!

Satuk was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news, and his previous vigilant heart was relieved by Su Lai's reminder, and he couldn't help laughing and saying, "God bless me!" God bless me! Zhang Mai, this is the end of your martial arts! ”

There were also people in the Tang army who were not comfortable with this change, and some generals felt that Wei Renpu, a corrupt Confucian, had made a mistake. Some people are beginning to raise a voice of skepticism. Ma Jirong also wavered, and said to Zhang Mai: "Marshal, can this matter be considered?" Offending the parishioners in this part of the river will be very detrimental to our battle! ”

Zhang Mai sneered: "Now that we are so powerful, the resistance we have received is so great, if our military strength retreats a little in the future, then it will be worth it?" The more unfavorable the shape becomes, the more it shows that Wei Renpu's inference is correct! In this battle, we must not only win the battlefield, but also uproot the ignorance and tyranny in the riverine region! ”

"However, we can take the river first, and then push the policy. Wouldn't it be easier for us to change our customs when we rule the river? ”

"You're wrong!" Zhang Mai said: "What we are facing is not a blank sheet of barbarians, but a group of old people who have already had wrong beliefs. Against the enemy, it is easy to use strong, and it is not a stain. For the people under the rule, it is difficult to use the strong but the knife is a war, and the war is about victory or defeat. To use the knife internally is to slaughter, and slaughter is the best breeding ground for religious drunkenness. (To be continued) –
