When entering Taozhou City, Zhang Chao found that the city was a bit bleak.

There is a strong city with a circumference of eight miles, but there are not many people in the city. Many of them are obviously not Han people. Pilou Wuche went around and told Zhang Chao that most of these people were mixed with Hu and Han. Because they had been living together for many years, Han and Hu married a lot.

"When the Tuyuhun people came last time, many people in Lintan fled into the mountains. Some of them who had no time to escape were kidnapped by the Tuyuhun people, and some of the Qiang people followed them on their own initiative. Now many people are still hiding in the mountains and dare not come down."

Taozhou City was originally garrisoned by the Tang army. Although some were transferred to support Luo Yi, there were still many soldiers in the city. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for the Tuyuhun people to quickly capture such a strong city. However, because there were many Qiang people who were attached to Taozhou in the early years, they cooperated inside and outside and suddenly rebelled, causing the strong city to fall quickly.

The Han people in Taozhou mainly moved in on a large scale during the Western Han Dynasty and lived here. However, over the years, it was difficult to find purer Han people here, mostly Han and Hu blood, and the Hushang was more serious.

Taozhou is an important town in Longyou. It is not only a military city, but also a very developed economy. This is because it is an important place to Henan and is on the border. It turns out that the Sui Dynasty established a border city here to trade with the Tuyuhun and Tubo people.

The ancients regarded the right as the west, so Longyou actually refers to the place west of Longshan, not to the east. For example, Jiangzuo actually refers to the east of the north-south section of the Yangtze River in Anhui, so Jiangdong is also called Jiangjiang, and Jiangxi and Hubei are called Jiangyou.

Geographically, Qinzhou, Longzhou, Yuanzhou, and the Tang people called Longdong.

Weizhou, Minzhou, Taozhou and other places are called Longxi.

To be more general, the entire west of Longshan is called Longyou, Wei and Tao prefectures are also Longyou, while Hezhou, Lanzhou and others also belong to Longyou.

Now the court has drawn fifteen roads, Liang, Gan and other places, which also belong to Longyou roads. In fact, geographical tradition is to call Liang, Gan, Sha, Su and other states west of the Yellow River Hexi.

The Tuyuhun area west of Taozhou is called Henan, until the foot of Jishi Mountain.

The valley between the Yellow River and Huangshui is called Hehuang. Henan and Hehuang are the richest land on the Tuyuhun territory. This place not only has abundant water and grass, but also abundant water sources, making it a rare and good place suitable for farming.

The Hehuang Valley is now occupied by the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also inherited Shanzhou, Guzhou, Hezhou and other places. The Hehuang Valley is mainly controlled by the Tang army, but the Henan area in the southwest is still in the hands of Tuyuhun.

Taozhou City was basically intact, and the Tuyuhun people retreated in a hurry and even the city was not damaged. This made Zhang Chao very happy, saving a lot of trouble and adding a little more safety.

"Zhang Jun, what will we do next?" Cui Yi asked Zhang Chao.

Standing at the head of Taozhou City, Zhang Chao, the newly appointed governor and governor of Taozhou, was also a little confused.

Yes, before coming, I thought there would be a battle, but now I came smoothly and easily took over and settled in Taozhou City. Zhang Chao was a little confused.

After thinking about it, my first task was to guard the Longxi national gate.

Now that the city is in hand, most of this task is completed, as long as you don’t lose the city, you can do it.

"Send people to the mountains to shout and ask the people hiding in the mountains to go down the mountain to go home." After thinking for a while, Zhang Chao issued the first order of the governor of Taozhou.

"Find out the original local officials and see how many people are there. The missing staff will be short of supplements immediately. It will be recommended by local officials and the people."

Restoring order and production here is an urgent task. To restore orderly production, one must first have a command system, which must rely on officials, officials, local wealthy families, etc.

Although Zhang Chao brought more than 5,000 people, he could not rely on these soldiers to manage a state. Although the old official system of government officials must have suffered great damage, it can only be repaired first, and it is impossible to directly push it back and start over.

"General Pilou, General Yisuogu, you send more scouts to monitor the border at any time. Beacon towers in various places must be repaired immediately and people will be sent to guard them. Whenever there is a policeman, immediately ignite the beacon smoke to warn. In addition, soldiers will be sent to patrol every township and road. If someone takes advantage of the chaos, robs and steals, arrest immediately. Those who resist will be killed on the spot!"

After the war, order was the first priority.

Chaos is absolutely not allowed.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chao said again, "Zhang Bang, sent people to promote the villages in the urban and rural areas, telling everyone that the Tang Dynasty had just defeated the Turks, beheaded 100,000, completely recovered the lost territories, and seek peace. Let me tell everyone that Tuyuhun was defeated by the King of Qin in Weizhou and ran away in a panic."

"Tell everyone that the Tang army has repelled Tuyuhun, and the prefectures and counties they attacked were also taken back by the Tang army. All the people returned to their hometowns."

"A sign was erected on the border, saying that Taozhou resumed border trade and welcomed herders from all departments to come to Taozhou for trading."

Sun Fujia, the head of the military officer, said with some concern, "Will it be too early to reopen the border market at this time? What if there are Tuyuhun people pretending to be?"

"Don't worry, Murong Fuyun dares not do anything recently. The Turkic defeat and peace agreement is enough to make Murong Fuyun scared. Now he only prays that the Tang Dynasty will not send a large army to attack him, so how dare you make provocative moves? It is urgent to restore border trade. Only with border trade will it be restored and prosperous."

In the past, many people in Taozhou relied on border cities to live. If there were no border cities, many people would have to leave.

If border markets are opened, the market is prosperous and people live without worries, it will not be easy to cause chaos.

Moreover, Zhang Chao brought more than 5,000 troops to come, and these people also had to eat and drink, and it was impossible for them to come from the rear thousands of miles away. The market here is booming, so Zhang Chao can collect taxes and make money and replenish supplies on the spot.

Only when you have money can you build levels, fortresses and strengthen defense.

"How to deal with the Qiang people who did not leave Taozhou?"

"Unified registration and registration, focus on monitoring. Apply for them to register and get their ID cards so that they can take them for inspection at any time. After dark, Qiang people are prohibited from going out and twenty miles away from home. They must report to the Lizheng. If they need to leave the county town, they must obtain the road guide for the county town."

This time, Tuyuhun invaded, many Qiang people who were attached to Tuyuhun in the early years rebelled, but not all Qiang people rebelled. There were more than 100,000 Qiang people who were attached to the Sui Dynasty alone, and only some of them rebelled this time, not even half of them. Now that Tuyuhun has retreated, many Qiang people still remain in the Tang territory.

Zhang Chao also believed that not everyone who wanted to rebel was willing to continue to live a stable life. Of course, these people should not be cleaned up simply and roughly, otherwise it would only lead to a big mess.

But you can't let it go, otherwise if some of them have bad intentions, it wouldn't be dangerous at critical moments.

Zhang Chao's solution is to strengthen control rather than cleaning.

The Qiang people in public offices in the yamen should be temporarily cleared out. Then, the Qiang people should be strengthened and the Qiang people should be strictly controlled through curfews, identity cards, road guides and other systems.

Of course, curfews, identity cards, and road guide systems should be implemented for other Han and Hu tribes who are not Qiang, but the monitoring of Qiang people should be tighter.

After dealing with these, Zhang Chao entered the governor's yamen.

A new sign was added to the Taozhou Governor's Office, Taozhou Governor's Office.

For the time being, there are two signs of a yamen here, and the people are still Zhang Chao's team. The main officials are brought by Zhang Chao, but many of the officials below still have to rely on the original officials and supplement them from the locals. They are familiar with the place, which is something they must rely on.

The backyard of the governor's yamen.

"I didn't expect that the prince's army would defeat the Turks so quickly." Ma Zhou whispered, "It's really something unexpected."

"Actually there is nothing to be surprised. You know, this time the prince commanded the elites of the entire Tang Dynasty, with strong soldiers and generals. The court mobilized more than 100,000 troops. If those who cooperated with the civilians were added, a total of more than 300,000 troops were dispatched. All the top generals and generals who could count in the Tang Dynasty came on the field. No matter who was here to be the commander, they could actually win."

As long as the commander does not blindly command and interfere with the generals and is willing to follow the suggestions and plans of the generals, he will basically not lose.

Especially this battle was fought on the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The news claimed that it was beheaded 100,000, but in fact it was not very much water. According to the news he got from Li Shimin, the Turkic army that the Tang army actually killed was less than 10,000.

The biggest result of the Tang army this time was to kill Gao Kaidao, kill and capture about 20,000 rebels in his troops, and then Luo Yi killed thousands of Liang Shidu, Li Shiji and Princess Pingyang annihilate thousands of rebels in Yuan Junzhang.

Total, about 5,000 Turkic troops were killed and about 3,000 prisoners were captured. More than 10,000 rebels from three groups were killed, and about 30,000 were captured. All of them were killed, and less than 20,000 were captured and more than 30,000 were captured.

But Tang Jun claimed to kill 100,000 Turks!

According to their statement, Zhang Chao could also say that he had killed 30,000 Tuyuhun!

"But no matter what, the Grand Marshal of this battle was His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Deputy Commander was King Qi and Luo Yi. However, General Qin was really brave and would kill Gao Kaidao, which was the first contribution in this battle."

Ma Zhou suddenly said, "This time, Your Highness the Crown Prince will take advantage of this great victory, and the position of the crown prince will be even more stable in the future. Sanlang, you have made contributions to the court this time, but I am afraid that Your Highness the Crown Prince may not be happy after hearing this."

Zhang Chao shook his head and smiled. If he didn't arrive to rescue Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng would have lost a huge threat. But because of him, Li Shimin was not dead and was still alive. He was ordered by such ten thousand soldiers in the face of danger and really defeated Tuyuhun and recovered the lost land in Longxi.

"I can't stand by death and refuse to save me!" Zhang Chao said carelessly.

Li Jiancheng probably already knows the situation here, and I don’t know what he is thinking now.

Youzhou.

When Li Jiancheng heard that Li Shimin was trapped in Longxi and was besieged by 60,000 Tuyuhun people, he was waiting for good news to come.

He thought about it and felt that Li Shimin was dead. There were no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. He was alone in guarding a small Longxi county town with only ten thousand troops. How could Li Shimin defend it?

Li Jiancheng has been very happy these days.

He led his army to defeat the Turks, and Li Shimin was about to die in battle again.

What a good thing happens when you have two things.

Once Li Shimin died, no one in the world could threaten his position as crown prince.

"Oh, Gu Zhen really wishes he could lead his army to Longxi to rescue Shimin immediately. It's a pity that the sky is high and the road is far, and the water is far and it is hard to quench his near thirst!"

In the middle of the journey, Li Jiancheng said to the generals and schoolmen in a hypocritical manner, and as he spoke, he squeezed two tears.

The former generals and schoolmen of the Qin Palace all lowered their heads.

Everyone has already predicted that the Qin King will be in trouble.

The generals and generals in the tent were silent, silent for the King of Qin and silent for him. A famous king of generations was buried in a small border town!
