A fire on the Silk Road, publicizing the fire and burning millions of soldiers.

After Zhang Yang burned those distant enemies on the Silk Road, he didn't care where those bastards ran away, and returned directly to Shule City with tens of thousands of carts of loot.

He can ignore it, because although Zhang Heizi temporarily used men from various tribes in the Western Regions to help him charge, the facts proved that he was really taking advantage of the hatred of those people and using the tribes of the Western Regions as cannon fodder for him to dominate the Western Regions.

Why? In the battle of Burning a Hundred Miles, the 30,000 fire cavalry of Zhang Yang's descendants only lost less than 3,000 people, most of whom were killed by Manichaean masters in close combat. What about the soldiers and horses of the tribes of the Western Regions? The loss was a full 50,000 people.

Things are afraid of comparison, and in comparison, 3,000 to 50,000, it can be seen how "black" Zhang Yang's heart is. It's so dark that he only uses those people from the Western Regions as tools, just to let the people from the Western Regions go to death and pave a road to victory for him.

However, people grow with the passage of time and the changes in their surroundings. After nearly a year of conquest in the Western Regions, Zhang Heizi has also matured.

After burning down the Baili Company camp, he clearly realized that those people from the Western Regions could not just sacrifice and not get benefits. If he wants to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions and establish a new force in his new command to fight against Liu Xing and Yelu Dashi, he can only learn Liu Xing's methods.

So what did Zhang Heizi learn from Liu Xing? Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men and generous care to buy people's hearts.

How did he do it? As soon as he returned to Shule City, more than 5,000 cartloads of loot looted from Ushav were ordered by Zhang Yang to be distributed to the families of the men who had died in the Western Regions.

Although there are not many of them, in the minds of the people of the Western Regions, there have always been insatiable rulers and no such generous leaders.

When the more than 5,000 carts of loot were distributed, there was a cheer of "King Zhang's might" and "Long live the general" inside and outside the city of Shule.

In bursts of cheers, Zhang Yang brought out another skill he had learned from Liu Xing, a skill that he could have that he should not have been born as a military general.

What are you capable of? The black charcoal head set up a list in bursts of cheers, announcing the construction of Tuntian Shule City and the creation of the capital of the Western Regions. All the people of the Western Regions who were willing to stay in the tuntian near Shule for a long time were given interest-free loans, farm tools and seeds for three years by his general's palace.

He also announced that within ten years, 20 pairs of people in Tuntian would only be levied a low tax of 25 out of 1, and the land that had been reclaimed would not be owned for a hundred years, and could be used as an heirloom.

This Tuntian order was sent out one by one, and in an instant, Shule City entered a new boiling point again.

Thousands of displaced people from the Western Regions who had lost their homes flocked to the Great General's Mansion to apply to become a tuntian household, and everyone's face was filled with excited smiles or expressions of gratitude.

For a time, Shule City, which had withered since the Han and Tang Dynasties, regained its former prosperity in just half a month.

When the people of the Western Regions in other nearby places heard the news of Zhang Yangtuntian's recruitment, they rushed to join the people with their families.

Many officials from nearby small countries and tribes have even put on the table, hoping to join Zhang Yang's command and follow him to create a new power in the Western Regions.

As long as such a long-awaited new power is successfully established, the talents of the Western Regions will no longer have to fear the distant threat from the West, and they will no longer have to fear Yelu Dashi enslaved them......

The form was very good, but Zhang Yang did something that surprised Liu Xingdu, that is, the content of the other piece that Su Quan presented to Liu Xing, and he actually took the initiative to ask Liu Xing to canonize him as the Marquis of Shule according to the model of the lord's lord.

Seeing that piece of music, Liu Xing smiled and looked at Su Quan with an extremely weird smile and said: "Zhang Heizi said that he was asking for canonization, but no matter how I look at him, it seems that he has ulterior motives!" Hehe, Su Quan, do you think he really figured it out, and he wants to sincerely bow down and return to me? ”

"Of course not." When Su Quan heard this, his face was ****: "The firearms trade of 50,000 guns and 300 artillery pieces is the real purpose of Zhang Heizi's kid." That guy is openly claiming to be a minister to accumulate strength, secretly self-reliant, and 'listening to tunes and not listening to propaganda'. ”

Seeing that he guessed Zhang Yang's true intentions, Liu Xing still said with a sly smile: "Zhang Heizi, Zhang Heizi, do you really think you have become very shrewd?" I actually played with your boss and me. Wow, you have to 'listen to the tune or not listen to the announcement', master, I will let you always 'listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement'. ”

With a smile and a look outside the door, Liu Xing said loudly: "Is there a messenger on duty outside?" ”

A messenger rushed into the lobby as quickly as he heard the sound, and before his feet could stand on Liu Xingzhengse, he said to him: "Immediately go and tell the people on duty in the Second Council of the Privy Council on my behalf to issue a decree from the Privy Council." Canonized Zhang Yang as a hereditary replacement, a first-class champion marquis, and awarded him the deputy protector of the Western Regions Protectorate and the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong. Then let the Privy Council issue a decree and confer on him the rank of general. ”

The words stopped for a while, and then Liu Xing said again: "At the same time, let the Tianshu and the Second Privy Council issue a new order to open the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Great Song Dynasty." Ren Liu Jian was appointed as the protector of the Western Regions, the military rank of false deputy marshal, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, and the command of the military and civilian affairs of the Western Regions. Liu Feng was appointed as the military envoy of the Western Regions Protectorate, the rank of general, and the commander of the military and civilian affairs in the northern Xinjiang of the Western Regions. ”

The messenger turned around and left, Su Quan looked at Liu Xing but smiled very brightly and said: "Taifu, you are making Zhang Heizi smart but being clever and mistaken, he wants to calculate you, and you in turn have calculated him and the entire Western Regions!" ”

Zhang Yang thought that he was smart, and asked Liu Xing for the right to purchase firearms on the condition that he was willing to accept the canonization, so as to achieve his goal of hegemony in the Western Regions.

However, Liu Xing is not a fool, Su Quan has seen that he is a minister in the open and still standing on his own in secret, how can Liu Xing not see it?

It's a pity that Zhang Heizi is too smart, he forgot that Liu Xing is a pit god. What a pit god is best at is not only taking the initiative to dig holes for others, but also burying opponents against the trend.

He is to be declared a vassal and willing to be canonized. Liu Xing canonized him along the river, but at the same time ordered the reopening of the Western Regions Protectorate, which had been brilliant and precedent in the Han Dynasty for more than 100 years.

Since then, Liu Xing announced to the world that the Great Song Dynasty had regained the suzerainty of the Western Regions, and on the other hand, Zhang Yang fell directly into a political pit and it was difficult to get out.

However, the Great Song Dynasty was not only smart by Liu Xing, not only Su Quan, who was more calculating than Zhang Heizi, but also Ma Kuo, who was rushing back from the grassland, was a diplomatic wizard who was good at dealing with foreign affairs.

There is also Hui Lao, who is leading troops in Luoshu City on the snowy plateau and treating the Tibetan nobles as cattle and sheep to carry out crazy slaughter, that is a person who has lived for five years and followed the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors.

As long as Zhang Yang falls into the political pit dug by Liu Xing, he is afraid that he wants to turn over again, if he really wants to get out of his own position again in the future, there is only a third way to rebel. And when the time comes, the team led by Liu Xing will not give him the opportunity to do big alone, and will definitely dig many new pits for him, waiting for him to jump in. (To be continued.) )
