When they were in the Western Regions, Li Daoyan and Ashina both brought their own troops to conquer the four towns in the Western Regions. According to the military reports, Li Daoyan and Su Dingfang only captured Yanqi, and the subsequent battle reports were discontinued.
It should be said that Gaochang had already captured Qiuci at that time.
The military report after that was that Ashinadur won one victory after another and captured several cities in the Western Region. Only then did the four towns in Anxi surrender. This has been the case in the Western Region since ancient times. These small countries relying on oases or passes are easy to conquer.
, but not easy to manage.
Xu Jingzong signaled for these soldiers to let him go. When he saw the other soldier stood up and gave him a cut, he was not surprised and instead smiled and said: "This is Chang'an City. The generals who are the Khan of Heaven are like seeing the sky in front of Chang'an City."
Khan, Tiele is so rude and disrespectful to the heavenly Khan."
Ashnadur also spoke a few words in Turkic dialect.
Xu Jingzong said impatiently: "Since Tiele can speak Guanzhong dialect, can you not use Turkic language?"
Duer looked at Li Daoyan, "I was the one who collided with Chang'an City and the Tian Khan."
After speaking, he saluted to the gate of Chang'an City.
Seeing this, Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "It would be best if we could turn our hostility into friendship."
Duer looked at Li Daoyan again, pointed at Xu Jingzong and a group of officials from the Foreign Affairs Council, "They killed my war horse, he is an enemy!"
Looking at the crowd again, Durr said a few more words in Turkic language.
Everyone was speechless for a while. This Duer only spoke Guanzhong dialect when facing Li Daoyan, and only spoke Turkic when facing others.
Ashnadur was the Tiele of the Turks, and he also controlled one of the Turks' troops.
On the grassland, in addition to obeying the orders of the Khan of the grassland, he was also the overlord, controlling a tribe.
Zhang Xiangxiang whispered: "In any case, Ashinadur can be regarded as a meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty. He took two of the four towns in Anxi and should be treated well."
Xu Jingzong nodded and took a step forward, "I also invite Tie Le to come into the city and settle down in the post house to rest."
Ashnadur's eyes were still wary, and he walked towards the gate of Chang'an City.
Seeing that the following Turkic troops were about to enter, Xu Jingzong and his men stepped forward to stop them, "You can only stay and station outside the city and cannot enter the city."
The man was stopped, Ashinadur became anxious again, and was about to rush forward but was blocked by Li Daoyan.
"This is the rule." Xu Jingzong preached again.
He glanced at Li Daoyan again, who then gave up and shouted a few words to the Turks who followed him, and lost any intention of entering the city again.
Zhang Elephant muttered in a low voice: "Turks are barbaric and they also value strength. They don't like us literati."
Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Although brute force is good, it is not as good as wisdom. Zhang Shangshu and I have the same ideal, which is to respect wisdom, use less brute force and more wisdom."
Let people arrange for these Turks to be stationed outside the city.
They did things very casually, throwing these small royal families kidnapped from the Western Regions in front of the city.
These people all tied their hands and feet with ropes, and there were nearly two hundred people in a long line.
Just watching this scene gave people a headache. Xu Jingzong frowned and said: "Is this considered a prisoner of the Turks? Is this considered a criminal official who will be handed over to the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhang Elephant picked up a package they dropped on the ground and opened it to find the seals of various small countries in the Western Regions, as well as volumes of credentials.
"Put these things away carefully, they are more important than the lives of the royal families of the Western Regions."
"Here."
Whether the members of the royal family of the Western Regions live or die, the Foreign Affairs Council doesn't care at all.
More concerned about the location of Guo Zuo, these credentials and seals prove that the four towns of Anxi were returned to the Tang Dynasty. This is something that can be recorded in history, and it is also the most important evidence for the Tang Dynasty to regain the four towns of Anxi.
Xu Jingzong still arranged for people to bring these people from the Western Regions into the city for custody.
When Zhang Yang said that he would regain the four towns in Anxi within a year, the Foreign Affairs Commission also took the initiative, and under the pressure of being laughed at by others, it has continued to do so recklessly.
Looking at the credentials and seals of the four towns of Anxi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing will be much easier to handle.
Three or two months have passed since we came back and forth from the Western Regions. Next, the Foreign Affairs Commission will prepare for the follow-up matters. Zhang Dashu and his people will compile the contents of these credentials, and then go to interrogate the royal family of the Western Regions, and need to
All events are registered in Eucalyptus.
Xu Jingzong was responsible for contacting Ashinadur.
At first glance, Duer was not an easy person to get along with, and he even had such a conflict in front of the city gate.
"No matter how difficult it is to handle, it is my duty as a subordinate. Zhang Shangshu said that we must overcome the difficulties and move forward."
When Xu Jingzong spoke, he sounded like he was gone and would never come back.
Zhang Elephant said with emotion: "Don't worry, Minister Xu. If you die by the sword of this Turk, I will collect your body and bury it, and let the Turk pay for it with his life."
Xu Jingzong nodded, took a deep breath and led the people to the post house.
Zhang Dashu copied the credentials and placed the seal and credentials in a wooden box. "Brother, these have been copied and presented to His Highness the Crown Prince first."
"Is there any problem with the content of the credentials?"
Zhang Dashu hesitated and said: "It's all written with the same words. It seems that they agreed to write it this way, or that these people were kidnapped by the Turks and forced them to write it."
The Foreign Affairs Council does not want to care about the grievances suffered by these royal families of the Western Regions.
Zhang Elephant held the box in both hands and hurriedly entered the palace.
In the palace at this moment, Li Chengqian was sitting in the Xingqing Hall, reading the reply letter sent by Su. Since he was prompted by Zhang Yang last time, the two of them have been exchanging letters frequently.
If he really wanted to see her, Li Chengqian still couldn't muster the courage, but he could send some small gifts occasionally. The letter said that she liked the book he sent last time. The book "Butterfly Lovers" describing love made many girls in Chang'an City yearn for it.
.
Let them have more aspirations for love.
Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the letter, she had wanted to buy this book before, but her father had always refused. Whether it was Red Mansions, Butterfly Lovers or The West Wing, these three volumes were more or less boycotted by today's literati.
Now that the book has been given away, she can still read it quietly by herself.
The prince was originally busy with state affairs, but now he had a rare smile because of a letter.
This emerging love is also Li Chengqian's only comfort in this hot summer.
After reading the contents of the letter, Li Chengqian wiped his sweat again. He would sweat profusely every time he sat in the palace. At least he could find a cool corner in the East Palace. At this moment, he understood many of the difficulties faced by his father.
Asking people to keep pouring water on the ground can at least make the palace less stuffy.
The eunuch in front of the palace came to report, "His Royal Highness, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Shilang, is here. He said that he has brought the credentials and seals of the four towns of Anxi to present to His Highness."
Li Chengqian quickly stood up and said, "Please come quickly."
