Seeing that everyone was busy, Zhang Zheng found a place to lean on the camel and open the paperwork. One was a message from Xizhou City, while the other was a detailed report from the south about the battle between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Zheng first watched the battle between Li Jing and Tuyuhun, and the battle report was recorded in detail, as if the messenger who came to deliver the letter had seen it with his own eyes.

The general content is also similar to the battle of Tang Annihilation Tuyuhun in Zhang Zheng's memory, but the time is different. The Tang army was divided into two routes, and Li Jing, Li Daliang, and Xue Wanjun led the army to the north and out of the right side of Tuyuhun.

Hou Junji and Li Daozong led the army to the south and left of Tuyuhun. On the eighth day of the first month of March, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, defeated the Tuyuhun army at Kushan.

Li Jing's subordinate Sagu Wu Ren fought in Mandu Mountain and killed the famous king of Tuyuhun. The generals of the Tang Dynasty defeated Tuyuhun at Niuxindui and Chishuiyuan, captured Murong Xiaojun, the heartfelt minister of Tuyuhun Fuyun, and seized tens of thousands of miscellaneous animals.

Hou Junji and Li Daozong defeated Tuyuhun in Wuhai and captured the famous king Liang Qu Onion. Li Jing broke the three tribes of Tugu Hun Tianzhu in the Red Sea and collected 200,000 miscellaneous animals.

Li Daliang captured 20 people of the famous king of Tuyuhun and 50,000 miscellaneous animals, and chased them all the way to the west of the end of the country.

Fu Yun's troops were defeated and fled, and Xue Wanjun commanded the cavalry to pursue and once again defeated the Tugu Hun remnants. After reading the battle report, Zhang Zheng's heart was unwavering, and he won a big victory.

This is normal, after all, it was Li Jing who made the move, and he was undefeated. The only thing worth mentioning is that Zhao Dekai, the envoy who originally sent Tuyuhun for the Tang Dynasty, didn't know what was crazy.

After Li Jing defeated the tribe of the Tianzhu King, he ignored Li Jing's obstruction and beheaded the Tianzhu King Murong Rong, and wiped out all Murong Rong's direct clansmen.

After doing this, Zhao Dekai tied his hands and turned his head back to Chang'an to ask Li Er for his guilt. Although Fu Yun escaped, Zhang Zheng knew that this battle had basically come to an end.

Next, if nothing else, Fu Yun hanged himself on the way to escape, and Fu Yun and Fu Shun, the son of the former Sui Guanghua princess, established themselves as queens and led the entire territory of Tuyuhun to the Tang Dynasty to surrender.

After a cursory glance, Zhang Zheng tore up the document and flew it all over the sky. Then I opened the letter from Xizhou and read it.

Just after reading a few words, Zhang Zheng's brows furrowed. Then he whispered angrily: "A fool." "The idiot in Zhang Zheng's mouth is of course not Xu Jingzong, but Jiang Gan, the commander of the capital.

According to the document, today's Jiang Gan has almost been hollowed out by Xu Jingzong and has become a commander of the light pole.

On 12 February, Chiang Gan led 1,000 Tang troops to attack the Gaochang camp at night. Together with the original city guard of Xizhou City, more than 6,000 Gaochang defenders were killed, and the rest of the 1,000-strong Gaochang rout was nowhere to be found, and Xizhou almost surrendered without a fight.

On February 13, Xu Jingzong led a large army into the city. After Xu Jingzong entered the city, as Zhang Zheng guessed, he first adopted a high-pressure policy against Xizhou.

The first thing is to implement a curfew policy that has been used in Datang for many years. Then he slaughtered the rich households in Xizhou City who did not take a stand against the arrival of the Tang army.

He also removed all the personnel of various departments in the former Western Prefecture and replaced them with his own people. For the officials originally appointed by Gaochang, a batch was killed, and another batch was released.

Of course, these things didn't last long. After completely controlling Xizhou City, Xu Jingzong's attitude changed.

First, to appease the people under the rule of Xizhou not to panic, the Tang army came here only to recover their homeland, and then opened the door to the caravans.

The gate tax for caravans passing through Xizhou was exempted, and it was promised that as long as the caravans passing through Xizhou stayed in the city for more than a few days, they could also obtain various benefits of tax reduction.

Depending on the length of stay, the amount of tax exempted will vary. He also completed the handling of the accumulated government affairs in Xizhou in the shortest possible time, and also retried various cases that had occurred in Xizhou in recent years.

In the end, 14 unjust, false and wrongly decided cases were adjudicated, seven criminals who had been imprisoned for unjust cases were released, and 16 murderers who were truly at large were sentenced to justice.

Although the curfew policy continues, it is only a matter of time before the curfew is lifted. Originally, these things were normal, but if it was Zhang Zheng, it would only be able to do it to this extent.

It is not easy to achieve such a degree of grace and power, not only to win the hearts of the people, but also to remove the influence of the remnants of Gaochang.

It can also be seen that Xu Jingzong is indeed a capable person, and in just three months, Xizhou City has been revitalized.

But Zhang Zheng didn't expect that this Jiang Gan would be so stupid that Xu Jingzong would be overpowered. And the reason for being set aside, what can Zhang Zheng say, that is, the dog shook his head when he saw it.

Jiang Gan killed 6,000 Gaochang defenders, which should have been a big victory with less and more victories. But Jiang Gan didn't know if he didn't wake up, or if the cerebellum was not well developed.

After making such military exploits, he even wanted to bypass Xu Jingzong, the chief official of a state, and directly asked Chang'an for merit.

But what kind of person is Xu Jingzong, Jiang Gan's little cleverness is not enough in front of him. Before Jiang Gan's handwritten recital was sent out of Xizhou, he was stopped by Xu Jingzong.

Then Xu Jingzong only slightly changed a few words, and the original performance of Jiang Gan asking for merit for his soldiers became Jiang Gan's performance of wanting to swallow the war merit alone.

And then again

"Inadvertently" was discovered by Jiang Gan's soldiers. The soldiers were suddenly excited, okay, our battle exploits with our lives were so greedy by the generals, and this is still worth it?

So they asked Lord Assassin Shi to make decisions for them. Jiang Gan was pitted by Xu Jingzong, and there was suffering.

After all, the sheet was indeed written by him, and it was also stamped with the seal of his commander. But among the 5,000-strong Tang army, there are no people who understand, in fact, there are.

It's just that there are too few people who understand, and under the excitement of the crowd, even if they understand people, where can they dare to come forward to defend Jiang Gan.

Therefore, Jiang Gan so easily sent the military power in his hands to Xu Jingzong. After reading the cause and effect, Zhang Zheng shook his head and scolded angrily again: "Idiot." "A commander of 5,000 people, a lieutenant in charge of five thousand people, is at least a middle-level and high-level general in the military at the level of General Lang.

was so toyed with in applause by a powerless literati that Zhang Zheng was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

After all, the 5,000 people Zhang Zheng was also very hot-eyed, and he was so easily controlled by Xu Jingzong, which made Zhang Zheng helpless.

After reading the documents sent by Xizhou, Zhang Zheng knew that it was time for him to go to Xizhou. Otherwise, Xu Jingzong finished eating the meat, and Zhang Zheng couldn't even drink the soup, so wouldn't this trip to Xizhou come in vain, this is not good.

So after a brief rest for two days, Zhang Zheng issued an order for the whole army to speed up.
