On the north bank of Kala Lake, a particularly huge Wanzi flag fluttered in the autumn wind.

Under Wanzi Fu, it is a big Persian-style tent. It turns out that it belongs to Lion Khan or Sanjar? But now it belongs to Zhang Yuan, the great teacher.

Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in the big tent, couldn't hide his smile on his tanned face.

A great victory!

Although this battle lasted for a long time, it has been two years since Ma Zheng and Xiao Heda led their troops westward to Shazhou. In the end, they still won a complete victory that greatly increased their national prestige. Although the Turkic bandit Sanjar who invaded China escaped, Aslan Khan, who had taken the peach blossom stone, was now waiting outside the tent to fall. The Emir of Sitajik, Emir of the Gur people, and Kujima, the general of Sanjar, all sent military envoys to surrender.

In addition, countless Karakhans, Persians, and Gaznis became prisoners. They are now sitting on the grassland on the south bank of Kara Lake, waiting for the great imperial edict Zhang Yuan to go and leave.

As for the seized cattle, sheep, horses, weapons, tents, and various property, there were countless more.

Moreover, according to the report of Mihadiye sent by Aslan Khan to surrender, the most powerful force southwest of the Palacio Mountains was the weak Sanjar. Mihadiye also said that this battle defeated at least half of Sanjar's strength.

If the Song Dynasty soldiers wanted to take advantage of the victory to cross the Pamirs and attack Tianzhu or Persia, they would definitely win a great victory.

In other words, the prestige of the Song Tiankang is not, it is not the prestige, but the real power that can cross the Pamirs and enter Persia and India.

With this, today, Zi Ke surpassed the Yizu and Emperor Taizong of this dynasty and became the first wise ruler in China since ancient times.

However, except for being particularly fun and spending money, today seems to have no great talent! Why did it surpass Yizu and Taizong? Zhang Yuanxin said: This is probably a ruler, right? The real famous lord, the emperor of the ages!

"Empress Zhao Liu," Zhang Yuan put away his thoughts, then smiled and looked at Zhao Zhongshun, who was also gloomy, "What do you think? How should this Lion Khan and the Kara Khans outside be placed?"

Zhao Zhongshun smiled and bowed: "Secretary of the army, how can you argue about this? I have followed the arrangements of the great edict."

Zhang Yuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Since I have to be the master of my own business after staying, then I will be the master of my own business.

Let’s talk about the refugees of Karakhan. Now we are in the middle of the journey, and we are walking back for more than 300 miles. We walk forward for more than 400 miles. After walking, we can enter the territory of the Persian Governor’s Office of the Tang Dynasty... Now we are in the territory of Raushkolasan Emir. When we get there, we will find food.

According to my opinion, it would be better to take refugees to the southwest into the Persian Governor's Office. It is easier to find food there than to find food in Kashgar! There is no one farming in Shule Oasis now, and the food in the city has been plundered by Aslan Khan. The people who stayed there still don't know what to eat? They can't bring more than 100,000 people back. Even if they have to go back, they can only be able to support them after Shule Oasis has recovered their vitality.”

The two towns of Shule and Yutian have become battlefields in the past two years, but they have greatly damaged their vitality. It is impossible to recover without a few or even more than ten years of rest and recuperation.

"That's all." Zhao Zhongshun nodded. These captured armed refugees cannot be sent back to Shule Oasis for the time being... First, there is no food; second, it may not be reliable. If the generals start to make trouble in Shule Oasis, the plan of the Hexi army to enter India will be delayed.

In addition, the refugees of the Karakhan Dynasty were "peach blossom stone people" after all, and they were more reliable than Persians, Gazni and Indians?

"Aslan Khan must have entered the court." Zhang Yuan continued, "He is now a surrendered king, and his treatment should be similar to Meng Chang and Li Yu."

It seems that there will be no good ending... Zhao Zhongshunxin said: Fortunately, his brothers have some strength, otherwise they would have ended like Li Yu!

"Then let him go to the court." Zhao Zhongshun glanced at Mihadiye standing there. This man is a treasure! He is familiar with Persia, India, and the national conditions of the Great Food, and can also speak Persian, Turkic, Great Food, Qincha and Chinese. He took him south to India, but he would achieve twice the result with half the effort!

"Great Instructor," Zhao Zhongshun pointed at Mihadiye and said, "This Tianfang scholar is a knowledgeable person and understands the situation of Western countries. Can you stay in the army of the lower officials?"

According to the plan, the troops of Zhang Yuan and the Great Education Regiment will not enter India. They will return to Shule Oasis after cleaning the battlefield, and open feudal academies, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Shule Oasis, Shache Oasis, and Khotan Oasis. They will use the principle of equality and harmony among the religions to begin spreading and communicating.

"Okay." Zhang Yuan nodded and said to Mihadiye, "Imam, just follow Zhao Tongjun to enter Tianzhu! Although Zhao Tongjun is a Buddhist disciple, he will not oppress the Tianfang scholars... Our Song Dynasty has always emphasized the harmony of all religions, and harmony is the most important thing. Do you understand?"

"I understand, the younger one is also a Song Dynasty man!" Mihadiye said seriously, "I should follow the harmony of the various religions of the Song Dynasty, and I will also teach the imams below to abide by it."

"It doesn't matter if they don't agree," Zhang Yuan smiled. "If someone asks them to come to the Great Educational Group, someone will reason with them."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan pointed to the angry eyes hanging in the tent and held the statue of Confucius with a sword, and said warmly: "We Confucianism have always convinced people with virtue and reason."

Zhao Zhongshun also echoed, "Yes, yes, convince people with reason, and convince people with reason... The whole education group is the best at convincing people with reason. This official has a deep understanding!"

Mihadiye looked at Confucius' statue and thought to himself: All Confucian scholars are cowardly and useless. Now it seems that it is completely rumor! Their Confucian prophets seem to be Kong Wu as powerful as him, and must be a brave knight!

Zhang Yuan touched his beard and said, "Imam, go and invite Aslan Khan, the Sitajiks, the military envoys of the Gurs, and the general of Sanjar to come in."

I met them and told them about the principles of our Song Dynasty!”

The reason Zhang Yuan is going to talk about today is very simple! There is no origin of the universe, no harmony between man and nature, and no rational exploration of the laws of nature.

Some are only convinced, or are they not convinced?

If you accept it, you will be entrusted with tribute, give it to hostages, and accept the enthronement of the Song Dynasty!

If you don’t agree, then continue to fight until you are convinced!

In addition, those who choose to accept it must be the leader of the king! They led Zhao Zhongshun and Xiao Heda's army to Persia (referring to Afghanistan) and India, and fought all the way to Rahar, the capital of the Gazni Dynasty.

...

The great victory in Kara Lake and the capture of Kashgar City, as well as the good news that the Karakhan surrendered to the Song Dynasty to Aslan Khan, he naturally wanted to reveal the victory and report to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Because the distance was too far, the messenger who received the victory was not until November, when he was almost November, and he arrived at the city of the Song Dynasty's top city with good news.

And this surprising good news immediately sparked another official battle in Kaifeng Prefecture, which was already undercurrent.

In other words, Zhang Yuan's Lubufeijie became the fuse of the "Grand View Political Controversy".

"Okay! What a scholar who is in charge of soldiers Zhang Zhiping!"

"Who said that scholars don't know about soldiers? I see that Zhiping's ability to use soldiers is far above Wu Chongdao and Gao Shiyan!"

"In one battle, defeat two countries and surrender to three kings... Such military achievements are the first person since the founding of our country!"

"It's enough to have a son like Zhang Zihou's smile...

"It's a pity that loyalty and filial piety are hard to achieve both loyalty and filial piety! When Zhang Zihou passed away, Zhang Zhiping could not see him off in front of the bed, and it was always unsatisfactory!"

In the Political Affairs Hall, the priests who had just finished summoning the Chongzheng Hall started to discuss. They had not thought how much shock Zhang Yuan's victory would bring to the Song Dynasty, so they were all very happy.

Because the commander of this battle, Zhang Yuan was a civil servant, and he was a serious Jinshi. Zhang Yuan's victory fully demonstrated that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty could directly command troops!

Zhang Yuan's victory in the northwest can be used to suppress the new military officers who have emerged recently.

In addition, everyone was very sorry for Zhang Yuan's failure to send Zhang Dun to the end.

Zhang Dun died of illness in Puyuan, Haizhou about a month ago. When he died, most of his descendants were around and there were a bunch of great-grandchildren. In fact, it was still very lively. But because Zhang Yuan wanted to supervise the front line, he could not see his father off. In fact, he didn't know that his father had passed away yet!

"Ziyou," said the right prime minister Zhang Shangying, "There are still many undecided things in Hexi in the Western Regions. Do you think you want Zhang Zhiping to seize the love?"

To seize love means that parents do not keep their filial piety for three years after they die. Of course, it is not possible in general, but Zhang Yuan is now the commander of the Western Regions army and also has the important task of "receiving Hexi". To seize love is reasonable.

"Zhang Zhiping is naturally going to lose love." Su Che touched his snow-white beard and frowned slightly.

He had already thought of the officials' reaction when they learned about the great victory in the Western Regions.

I must have been overjoyed, and I would think I was so powerful... In fact, the one who is powerful is not the official, nor even Zhang Yuan, but the empirical school!

And the officials who think they are powerful will definitely make up their minds to do something that has no practical significance. On the one hand, they waste public funds, and on the other hand, they will also arouse the vigilance of the Khitans and cause unnecessary trouble... What kind of solutions do you have to think of to disrupt the slaughter of this matter?

Su Che was thinking about it when a small yellow gate suddenly walked in from outside and appeared in the political affairs hall. Needless to say, he must have been here to pass the order.

Sure enough, when Xiaohuangmen saw the ministers present stand up one after another, he uttered an edict: "The emperor has an order, and Su Che, Zhang Shangying, Zheng Juzhong and others immediately entered the palace to discuss the aftermath of the victory in the Western Regions."
