The post-war treatment of Norland was fairly simple, as there were precedents to follow. Their Khan Desire Valley was sent to Chang’an by Qin Mubai to imitate Tibet’s Zan Pu Qizong Nongzan and become a Commandery Prince of Peace. From then on, there was no possibility of returning to the Western Regions.

Perhaps it was precisely because of such a precedent that Yu Gushe and Ni Shuchuo “dared” surrender-the Great Tang’s kindness to prisoners of war had obviously dispelled their final concerns. Faced with the invincible Kansai army, the Norland Turks chose the latter between the extinction of the nation and An Du’s submission to the Great Tang for the rest of his life.

But for the desert hero Ni Shuchuo, there was a loud voice in the Kansai army to “righteous law” him, to comfort Qin Shubao’s spirit in heaven. Moreover, Ni Shuchuo also took the initiative to ask Qin Mubai to die, and Bo Bu pleaded with Yu Gushe and the others, causing Qin Mubai to feel somewhat embarrassed.

Strong dragons couldn’t suppress Earth Snakes, but with the help of Earth Snakes, the situation would be completely different. Originally, Qin Mubai wanted to use Ni Shuchuo now, but his identity before him was too sensitive, so he could only let it go for now. Hence, Qin Mubai arranged for him to “stay in the hospital” to go home for the time being and sent some people to protect him.

Along with Valley of Desire and Ni Shuchuo, more than 200,000 troops surrendered. This army was a mix of good and bad, and most of them were civilians from various tribes who had been forcibly recruited on an ad hoc basis. Qin Mubai put half of them back home and reunited them with their families, winning applause and praise. Among the remaining soldiers, Qin Mubai chose to recruit 50,000 strong men into the Kansai cavalry, making his troops even stronger.

Although Qin Mubai and the others had seized the time as quickly as possible, they had already taken over Gongyue City and recruited surrendered soldiers for more than ten days. At this time, the messenger sent to the Kang Kingdom also made a round trip. Qin Mubai contacted Su Dingfang and learned about Su Dingfang’s battle in the Sam River.

As early as the end of the month, Su Dingfang led his troops to the Sam River to defend against the Arabs who might invade at any time. The Arabian Commander-in-Chief, Nurman, who had been waiting on the west side of the river bank for information, although he was famous for his decisiveness in battle, he was obviously more cautious in the face of the Western Regions, which he had never set foot on. Until he learned that Kangguo had increased its troops on the east coast and received reliable information, Nurman stationed his troops in the west coast to wait and see.

The Sam River is a river located in the north of Kangguo. It is a natural barrier of the whole Western Regions to the west. Kang stationed troops here all year round and built many military ports for defense. Even though Kang Country’s army had always been very cowardly, it wasn’t easy for Nurman to break through to the Western Regions through the waterway with a group of dry ducks. Therefore, Nurman painstakingly cultivated his inner circle in Kang in order to set foot in the Western Regions.

Right now, there was no news, but the east bank had sent more than a hundred thousand troops. Nurman noticed that the situation had obviously changed. Right now, he could only choose to withdraw his troops or forcefully break through the Sam River. However, he no longer understood the commander-in-chief, the strength of his troops, and the situation of his defenses, which made him hesitate.

As a result, Nurman stationed his troops and waited hesitantly, while Su Dingfang stood still and defended the defensive line. The two sides stalled on both sides of the Sam River for more than a month, yet they did not move a single arrow, just like two ferocious wild beasts gathering momentum to wait and see before fighting, hoping for the outcome of a single strike.

After learning about this situation, Qin Mubai’s heart calmed down a little. Previously, he had always been worried that Su Dingfang, who had a huge disparity in strength and was fighting in a different place, would not be able to resist the Arab war god Nurman. What worried him even more was the safety of Wu Meiniang.

Now that the Norland had been wiped out, Qin Mubai could go to Kang Country boldly and at ease. However, this did not mean that the matter in Bow Moon City was over.

The Northern and Southern Tribunals of the Western Turks were the two largest forces in the Western Regions. While competing with each other, the two of them operated a blueprint for power in the Western Regions. Their subordinates had captured a large number of small countries and tribes in the Western Regions. Now, Nan Ting had undoubtedly become a vassal of the Great Tang. Norland had initially decided that Qin Mubai had to come up with a feasible plan at this time to recruit and appease the other small countries and tribes.

Qin Mubai handed it over to Khan Bubu of Nanting.

Qin Mubai invited him to Bow Moon City and told him that he would go to the Imperial Court to express Nantian’s “merits” in helping the Great Tang pacify the Norland and conquer the Western Regions. He asked His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor to make Bo Bu the first Governor-General of the Norland.

In other words, apart from placing the Anxi Protectorate in Bow Moon City, Qin Mubai would also place a “Governor’s Mansion” under his command that specialized in managing the aftermath of the two Tribunals. In this way, the Khan, Bo Bu, who was born and bred here, became an official of the Great Tang and a “department manager” under Qin Mubai.

Bo Bu relied on the Turkic Khan to deal with the Turkic people.

Bo Bu had always admired the Great Tang, and Nan Ting had always been friendly to the Great Tang. To be able to become the “Governor” of the Great Tang Dynasty, there was still a possibility that he would be awarded the title for merit in the future. He was too happy to do so, so he agreed with all his might.

Later, Qin Mubai heard that the first thing Bo Bu did after taking office was to invite Ni Shuchuo over. Qin Mubai did not know what method he had used, nor did he ask. In short, the once fierce Ni Shuchuo of the Desert had now become a “wage earner” under the “Department Manager”.

According to Qin Mubai’s plan, in the next few years, the lands of the Western Regions that originally belonged to the Northern and Southern Tribunals would be divided into counties and prefectures of the Great Tang. That also meant that there would never be Turkic Khan or the tooth tents of the Northern and Southern Tribunals in the Western Regions in the past, only the feudal officials of the Great Tang Dynasty and the prefectures and counties.

In the Bow Moon City battle, Xue Rengui shocked the enemy. Qin Mubai didn’t have a single blade. In less than a month, the Great Tang had begun to expand thousands of kilometers into the Western Regions from Gaochang Kingdom, completely eliminating the strongest force in the Western Regions, the Western Turks. According to Qin Mubai, from now on, the Great Tang would “cover the sky with one hand” in the Western Regions.

Qin Mubai left Bo Bu a hundred thousand troops to defend Bow Moon City and Xue Rengui, the Turkic god of war, to help him take care of the aftermath. Afterwards, Qin Mubai personally led over 200,000 troops, using Yuwen Hongtai as the vanguard, advancing at full speed towards the Zhaowu Nine Clans’ supreme power, Kang Juguo!

Historically speaking, the nine surnames of Zhaowu are the descendants of the Great Moon Clan, and later mixed with the Huns and Sogdians, never belonging to the Central Plains and different from the Chinese nation. According to Qin Mubai’s plan, countries and tribes like the Northern and Southern Tribes of the Western Turks had always been enemies of the Great Tang, so they had to conquer and merge with it. The descendants of the Great Moon Clan and the Sogdians were not suitable to conquer and merge with him in terms of historical origins and regional races. They could only be used as neighbors and auxiliary wings.

There is no problem of military difficulty, but the international image and foreign policy of the Great Tang. The Great Tang was famous for its conquest of the Western Turks; In order to pacify the two tribunals, they were invited by the Nanting Friendship Alliance to send troops. In the end, the Great Tang helped Nanting unify the entire Western Turkic territory, and Bo Bu was willing to “take the initiative” to submit to the Great Tang. All of this makes sense, and it makes sense.

The descendants of the Big Moon Clan, Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, had always lived alone in their own kingdom and had nothing to do with Great Tang Su. If the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu were also conquered and merged, then the Great Tang would be called an “invader”. Now, in the name of sending troops, Qin Mubai had also come out of King Kangju’s “invitation” to help friendly neighbors fight against the Great Food Nation that was about to invade.

Although Qin Mubai did not receive any so-called “invitation letters”, with the presence of Wu Meiniang, the first assistant minister in charge of Kang’s military and foreign affairs, the relationship between Qin Mubai and her was one of requesting letters.

A long time ago, Li Shimin and Qin Mubai discussed the Western Regions Grand Timing. It was said that there were many races and religions in the Western Regions. Therefore, in order to deal with the Western Regions, military affairs were not the most important, and diplomacy was the most cautious. When the monarchs and subjects constructed the blueprint of the Western Regions, they agreed on a principle, that is, diplomatic pacification was the highest and military conquest was the lowest. A small country like Gao Changguo, which had a deep relationship with the Han nationality, could easily conquer it, persuade it to surrender and pacify it; To deal with an old enemy like the Western Turks, it was necessary to launch a strong military strike, and the treatment plan was similar to Tibet’s; As for Kang Juguo and Dawan, they could establish good-neighborly and friendly diplomatic relations with them, respect and preserve their national independence and national integrity, and make them the left and right arms of the Great Tang in the Western Regions and the first barrier to the Western Arab world.

Qin Mubai came from the 21st century, and his understanding of international diplomacy naturally surpassed that of the Great Tang Dynasty. However, Qin Mubai had no choice but to admire Li Shimin for having such a clear understanding. Li Shimin was a wise man, but he didn’t rejoice in accusing himself of being arrogant. He clearly knew the principles of “two fists cannot defeat four hands” and “contentment is always happiness”. No matter how powerful the Great Tang was, the Central Plains was a country based on farming in the interior of the Nine Continents. In his lifetime, it was naturally a good thing for him to be able to expand his territory as far as possible. However, if they blindly carried out military expansion, things would definitely go against each other, and it would inevitably echo the saying, “Although the country is big, it is bound to perish if it is bellicose.”

Therefore, the Western Regions blueprint drawn up by Li Shimin was based on the Onion Ridge, which was divided into mountains and mountains with Arabia and the Western countries. To the east of the Onion Ridge, it was important to have another country as a friendly neighbor of the Great Tang to assist in fighting against the Arabs. In this way, there was a military buffer zone, and the Great Tang could maximize the huge commercial profits on the Silk Road.

Count it all in one go!

Based on this calculation, the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, whose main business was business, were undoubtedly the best “partners” in the Western Regions of the Great Tang.

This was the blueprint that Li Shimin and Qin Mubai had drawn up for the Western Regions.

Qin Mubai sketched out the blueprint one stroke at a time.

Now, he was standing in front of Samuel, the capital of Kangju Kingdom. Prepare to start sketching, the final stroke of the entire blueprint.

“This is what later generations call Samarkand!-what a gorgeous and beautiful city!” Even Qin Mubai let out such an exclamation.
