Chapter 966
"Lying in the lonely village without mourning, I still think of guarding Luntai for the country. Lying in the middle of the night, listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the ice river come to my dreams!"
In the Zhou army camp in Luntai, Sun Kewang stood by the village wall, looked up at the starry sky, murmured to Lu You's poems, and felt a sigh in his heart.
Hong Chengchou, who was standing beside him, was also quite touched, "The Zuo Prime Minister also likes Lu You's poems?"
Sun Kewang gave Hong Chengchou a blank look. Although he was born in a peasant army and caused the rebellion of the court, he read a lot of books and had a sense of a scholar who managed the family and governed the country and pacified the world.
"Who doesn't like Lu You? Xin Qiji!" Sun Kewang expressed his feelings.
Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, and agreed with a quiet expression: "Yes, who doesn't like it?"
At this time, the personal soldiers suddenly came to report, "Left Prime Minister, Baishan Sect Apark and Zhuo are here."
"Oh, it's coming so fast!" Sun Kewang raised his eyebrows and showed a treacherous smile on his face.
The Yarkand Khanate was established by descendants of the Chahatai Khanate. After the founding of the Khanate, the Baishan faction and Zhuo entered Yarkand. Soon the Black Mountain faction also entered Yarkand. The struggle between the two factions in Yarkand was very fierce.
During the Western Expedition of Wu Sangui, Sun Kewang asked about the Hu merchants from the Western Regions, learned about the situation of the Yarkand Khanate and the countries in the Western Regions, and knew that there were many internal conflicts between Yarkand, and almost every time the Khan succeeded, it was a bloody coup.
However, most of the regimes of nomadic peoples are like this. Unlike the Central Plains dynasty, they have a unified system, orthodox ideas, and relatively stable order. However, the system of nomadic regimes is incomplete and most of them are frequent internal struggles. Often, once the old khan dies, they can form a bloody storm of seizing the throne, which can easily lead to prosperity and decline.
This problem exists in the Mongolian, the Khanate of the Temujin, and the Khanate of Yarkand.
The Zhou army entered the border of Yarkand and occupied Luntai, but how to pacify Yarkand was not an easy task.
Although Hong Chengchou was sure to defeat Yarkand, the Zhou army might fall into a long-term war.
What the Zhou army wants now is to quickly pacify the Western Regions and transfusion blood into the pass through the Western Regions, rather than to fall into a long-term war in the Western Regions.
In this way, some wisdom is needed.
Hong Chengchou did not know the situation in the Western Regions, but Sun Kewang had already formulated a strategy in his heart.
At this time, Sun Kewang turned around and said to his subordinates: "Let him wait in the big tent, and the original figure will come later."
When Hong Chengchou heard that the Baishan Sect and the table were coming, he could guess Sun Kewang's intentions, so he smiled and said, "Is Zuo Xiang trying to take advantage of the conflict between the Baishan Sect and the Black Mountain Sect?"
These two factions have to fight each other once every ten years, and Hong Chengchou also has some understanding of this.
Sun Kewang did not hide it and nodded, "Yarkhan's Abudullaha Khan is also considered a hero. After ascending the throne, he ended the Yarkand's many years of division. However, he did not solve the problems within Yarkand. He only relied on the Black Mountain Sect to temporarily suppress the Baishan Sect. If there was no external force intervention, the conflicts within Yarkand might have to wait until Abudullaha Khan's death before it broke out. But now that our Great Zhou army enters Yarkand, the situation has changed."
Hong Chengchou said: "If the Great Zhou wants to rule the Western Regions, it really needs the support of local forces. The Black Mountain Sect supports Abuduhara, so the Great Zhou will support Baishan."
The Great Zhou wanted to directly rule the Western Regions, so there was an irreconcilable contradiction with Abudullaha Khan and his supporter Montenegro.
The enemy is a friend. In Hong Chengchou's view, he can indeed win over the Baishan faction, deal with the Black Mountain faction, and assist the Great Zhou in ruling the Western Regions.
However, Sun Kewang showed a treacherous smile on his face and shook his head.
When Hong Chengchou saw this, he narrowed his eyes and felt that things were not simple.
Sun Kewang sneered repeatedly, "The Great Zhou wants to directly control the Western Regions, the Baishan Sect, the Black Mountain Sect, and Abuduha, all of them will die!"
Hong Chengchou raised his eyebrows and felt a trembling heart. Sun Kewang is really a cruel person. He saw him as a mud-legged person before, and he really underestimated him.
"What is the Zuo Prime Minister ready to do?" Hong Chengchou said with interest.
Sun Kewang looked at him, thinking that Hong Chengchou still needed cooperation, and sneered: "According to my understanding, Abudullaha was quite capable in his early years and was called the Lord of the Zhongxing in Yarkand. However, in recent years, he first lost to Junggar and then to the king. His spirit was gone, and he became increasingly suspicious and stupid. In order to maintain his position, he not only changed ministers from time to time, but also suppressed his eldest son, causing a situation where several sons compete for power. His eldest son Bals was more than ten dissatisfied with this, and in order to inherit the throne of Khan, he got together with the Baishan Sect."
"The Tian family is the most ruthless, even the royal family of small countries in the Western Regions!" Hong Chengchou sighed and said immediately: "So, the left contacted the Baishan Sect to use them to launch a rebellion and eradicate Abudulha and the Black Mountain Sect."
Sun Kewang nodded and sneered: "First instigate the Baishan Sect to rebel, kill all the Heishan and the Yarkand royal families, then use the excuse of the Baishan Sect to rebel, quell the rebellion as the sect leader, and kill all the Baishan Sect. In this way, the upper levels of Yerkand will be wiped out. Isn't the Western Regions the Great Zhou?"
Hong Chengchou also smiled treacherously, "Great! But how can we instigate the Baishan faction to rebel?"
Sun Kewang said: "It depends on how to draw cakes in the true form and create opportunities for them."
The two looked at each other and both showed treacherous smiles.
Hong Chengchou had no objection, "Then do as the left prime minister wants!"
Sun Kewang didn't like to play with stupid people. He thought that Hong Chengchou's IQ was OK and could keep up with his own ideas. He immediately said, "The person has come. Should the right prime minister go and have a look together?"
Hong Chengchou smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty has given you that the original minister will be the main subject of military affairs. As for how to govern the Western Regions, the original minister will not care about it and will do his best to cooperate with the left minister."
When Sun Kewang heard the words, he felt a little more comfortable, so he walked towards the big tent.
In the big tent, Apak of the Baishan Sect led more than a dozen sect leaders, sitting in the tent, whispering the purpose of the Zhou army entering Yerkang.
Sun Kewang could clearly know the problems within Yarkand and the dispute between Baishan and Heishan, in addition to his sending meticulous work and merchants to collect information, another main reason was that the Baishan Sect took the initiative to inform Sun Kewang of the situation within Yarkand.
Of course, they told Sun Kewang that it was not to surrender to Zhou State, but to leak Abudulah's secret contact with Junggar, Bukhara and Siva to Zhou State, hoping to use the power of Zhou State to overthrow Abu Du Hello and support Prince Bals, who was supported by the Baishan faction, to inherit the Khan throne.
At this time, everyone was talking, Apark and the table coughed heavily, and the tent suddenly became quiet.
Apak then said slowly: "When you meet Prime Minister Sun, don't be rude. This time it's related to whether our Baishan can suppress the Black Mountain Sect. If you can't speak, shut up!"
Everyone nodded and said yes. At this time, soldiers outside the tent shouted: "Everyone, the Prime Minister is here!"
