After listening to the messenger's report, Tang Xiujing planned to go to Li Jing in person and report to Li Jing about defeating the Great Eclipse and helping the Persian state to achieve victory.

"You must be very tired from running all the way, go down and rest first, and I will play the saint immediately in this matter."

Tang Xiujing instructed people to take the messenger down to rest first.

The messenger saluted and took his leave, and went down with the men of the army to rest.

"Where is the saint now?"

Tang Xiujing asked the people around him, first determine Li Jing's location, and then go directly to him, and tell this matter in front of Li Jing.

"At this time, the saint should stay in the palace!"

The squire of the military department said, it is not early now, and it is impossible for Li Jing to still be outside the waves.

Tang Xiujing got up and walked out, not forgetting to tell everyone: "The affairs of the military department, you go back and think about it, if there is anything missing, report it to me tomorrow morning."

Tang Xiujing left the military department and walked directly towards the Zichen Palace, it was not early now, if Li Jing was in the palace, he would definitely stay in the Zichen Palace, and he would not leave the Zichen Palace to go to other places before eating.

Tang Xiujing soon came to the gate of the Zichen Palace, and said to the eunuch guarding outside: "I am tired of informing you, Tang Xiujing, the secretary of the military department, has something important to present to the saint in person."

"Tang Shangshu, wait a minute!"

The chamberlain hurriedly turned around and entered and relayed Tang Xiujing's words to Li Jing.

After a while, the chamberlain walked out from inside and arched his hand: "Tang Shangshu, the sage has summoned you to the palace to meet you!"

Tang Xiujing hurriedly tidied up his appearance, and then stepped into the Zichen Palace.

"Chen Tang Xiujing, see the saint!"

When Tang Xiujing saw Li Jing, he bowed with his hands crossed.

"Tang Aiqing, you are so anxious to see me, what is the so-called? What the hell is it, if you have to report it now, can't you wait until tomorrow morning to talk up? ”

Li Jing, who was sitting on the main seat, ordered someone to give Tang Xiujing a seat of tea, and asked Tang Xiujing about his intentions.

"The minister is here to report to the sage, the Western Regions defeated the Great Food, and captured tens of thousands of prisoners, including the other party's main general Qu Dibo."

Tang Xiujing's expression was very solemn, and he reported to Li Jing the battle situation in the Western Regions, this battle not only defeated the powerful Great Food, but also pushed the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to a new height.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Datang, which also represents that Datang's control over the Western Regions has become more solid.

Li Jing was also overjoyed after hearing this, this time he could defeat the Great Food, and the Khorasan region, and even the entire Western Regions, would be peaceful in the next ten years.

After waiting for more than ten years, Datang has long been unimaginably strong, at that time, if Da Shi dares to make a move, Da Tang will directly send 100,000 troops to level Da Shi.

"Guo Yuanzhen really didn't disappoint me, and it is also a blessing for Datang that the Persian State can be saved!"

Li Jing stroked his palms happily and smiled.

"Sage, what should we do with the prisoners escorted by Guo Dadu this time?"

Tang Xiujing asked.

"They should offend my Tang Tianwei, sacrifice them to their ancestors, and put them all to death!"

Li Jing said casually that he didn't actually plan to kill all the captives.

These are all professional soldiers, and it is impossible for Da Shi to let them go, and he will definitely send people to Chang'an to redeem all these people, especially Qu Dibo, a famous general.

"Sage, the minister thinks that it is really inappropriate to kill all the captives, I am afraid that no one will surrender in the future."

"In the past, Emperor Gaozong did not tolerate those who surrendered, but killed them, causing the Eastern Turks to rebel and be a disaster!"

"The minister thinks that he should be tolerant of surrender, so that the barbarians of the Quartet can be convinced!"

After listening to Li Jing's words, Tang Xiujing hurriedly stood up and made suggestions, and brought out the matter of Tang Gaozong's killing of Wen Fu, which led to the rebellion of the Eastern Turks to persuade Li Jing.

"Tang Aiqing is reasonable, I almost made a big mistake, but fortunately Aiqing reminded me."

"I won't kill the captives of the big food, there is other use for keeping them, and it just so happens that there is a shortage of manpower for projects in other places, so let them help with the work."

Li Jing had long expected that Tang Xiujing would stand up against it, and he didn't really want to kill the prisoners, so he could also give people an image of him humbly accepting advice by taking advantage of this step.

These captives can't be released so easily, it just so happens that some water conservancy, road and other projects are in short supply, so let these tens of thousands of people help.

can also manage them three meals a day, Datang does not raise a bunch of idlers, even if they are captives, they must reflect their value, until Dashi sends people to Chang'an and pays to ransom them.

"Sage Shengming!"

Tang Xiujing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I don't know how the saint plans to get along with Da Shi?"

"Between Datang and Da Shi, whether it is war or peace, it depends on Da Shi's attitude, if Da Shi wants to continue to fight against us, we don't have to be afraid!"

"If Da Shi is willing to reconcile with us, I am not a stingy person, as long as Da Shi is willing to pay tribute, I can also shake hands with him!"

Li Jing said.

Is this to continue fighting, or everyone to sit down and talk about peace, Li Jing handed over this right to Da Shi.

If Da Shi knew each other, everyone would naturally be fine, but Da Shi had to fight Datang to the end, and Datang's soldiers were not afraid of it.

It's a big deal to fight with the other party, directly dispatch an army of 200,000 to completely wipe out the big food, and set up the big food capital to protect the mansion in the land of the big food, and directly put the big food into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Now there are many internal contradictions in Da Shi, if the caliph's brain is not burned out, it is impossible to fight with the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely send someone to sue for peace.

When the time comes, you will definitely have to talk to the other party about the ransom of the prisoners.

In any case, the tens of thousands of captives have to be managed by the imperial court, which is a large expenditure, and it is not too much for you to ask for hundreds of millions, right?

Presumably, the rich food can't even take out this money, right?

"Sage, the minister thinks that in order to strengthen the stability of the Western Regions, an army should be stationed in Persia to maintain the security of the Khorasan region, the Tocharian country, and the territory of the nine surnames of Zhaowu."

Tang Xiujing suggested that Li Jing should garrison troops in the Khorasan region, which would not only stabilize the situation in Central Asia, but also prevent the resurgence of the Great Eclipse.

As soon as something happens, the local garrison can respond quickly and no longer have to travel all the way to Anxi for help, which saves costs and shortens time.

"Tang Aiqing is right, I also plan to garrison troops in the Khorasan region, so you send a letter to Guo Yuanzhen, asking him to leave the 50,000 troops I sent to stay in the local area to guard against the Great Food Army."

Li Jing was very satisfied with Tang Xiujing's proposal, directly adopted it, and asked Tang Xiujing to reply to Guo Yuanzhen and leave the 50,000 new troops sent to Central Asia to maintain local security.

"Minister, let's do it!"

Tang Xiujing got up to say goodbye and withdrew from the Zichen Palace.

Some people died, but not completely......
