Ang Lee was very generous in sharing the profits of the grain that Artik gave him, and all of them were given to the soldiers under his command, so that the soldiers could happily serve themselves.

Looking at these soldiers who were sharing money, the excited expressions on their faces, Li An's heart was also very happy, this is much happier than swallowing all the money by himself, after all, Li An is not a person who is short of money, and being able to take out a small part of the money to please the soldiers under his command will not bring much loss to himself, but will increase his prestige and make his subordinates more willing to follow him.

Li An looked at the other soldier and asked, "How many gold coins did you share?" ”

"Back to Li Shilang, I worked hard and divided one hundred and twenty gold coins, hehehe."

The soldier replied.

Li An was also happy, and asked, "What do you plan to use for so many gold coins?" ”

One soldier replied, "Huabei, buy what you need, and buy whatever you want." ”

"Li Shilang, aren't we going into the city? It's good to spend money when you go into the city. ”

Another soldier said with a smile.

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, you can spend money happily when you enter the city, but after such a big battle, this official can't imagine what kind of situation the city is already in." ”

Obviously, the original Maia City, as the capital selected by Artik, must have been very prosperous, but after a brutal attack and defense battle, many materials in the city were requisitioned by the army, including some houses of the common people were demolished as materials to defend the city, and the actual loss was only known when entering the city.

Fortunately, the army of Ziad did not enter the city, but a large number of siege equipment threw stones into the city near the city wall, destroying some commercial and civilian facilities, and most of the facilities in the city were still relatively intact.

Most of the soldiers under Li An's command had gone to the city to carry grain and grass, so they still had some understanding of the situation in the city, and they knew the basic situation in the city.

"Li Shilang, the situation in the city is okay, the damaged houses are being repaired, the city is full of busy figures, and the shops in the commercial area have also opened one after another, it is estimated that it will not be long before prosperity will be restored."

One of the subordinates spoke.

"Li Shilang, the soldiers have also worked hard for a day, why do you need to continue to sleep outside the city and go to the city to have fun, wouldn't it be very good."

Another subordinate suggested.

This suggestion is very reasonable, the soldiers have just received a large amount of money, do not spend some unsure hearts, moreover, so much money is not easy to carry, and there is no bank to access it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the life of the soldiers is a little too hard, and they need to go to the city to have a good time, those who like to drink big drinks go to drink, those who eat meat go to eat meat, those who watch the excitement go to see the excitement, and those who like girls can also go to the city to find it.

Li An is also more fond of soldiers, of course, he doesn't want to watch the soldiers suffer, however, the situation in the city is not stable for the time being, there are soldiers and people working everywhere, entering the city at this time will aggravate the chaos in the city, and others are busy working to rebuild their homes, and the Tang soldiers go to the city to eat, drink and have fun, which will make the soldiers and civilians in the city dissatisfied, besides, the Tang soldiers and they are not the same nation, this dissatisfaction has become more serious.

"Soldiers, the situation in the city is a little chaotic, it's better not to enter the city, what do you need, just take it directly from the city, we are outside the city, we can be happy."

Li An said.

"Li Shilang, can you invite the girl from the city?"

"Good wine and good meat, it doesn't matter if it's enough."

The soldiers said rudely.

Li An nodded and said: "Of course it's okay, the girl will have it, and there will be no shortage of wine and meat, just let the soldiers celebrate happily." ”

"Yay!"

The soldiers shouted excitedly.

Li An looked at his subordinates beside him and said: "It's just dark, and the soldiers are not sleepy, you take some soldiers into the city, buy more wine and meat, and come back, by the way, the young and beautiful lady will also bring it back, tell you, don't make mistakes, let alone rob people's daughters, and let people go out of the city willingly to serve our soldiers." ”

"Li Shilang rest assured, his subordinates know what to do."

The subordinate answered.

Soon, this subordinate took dozens of soldiers and rode in a dozen large trucks to the city of Maia, not far away, ready to buy and sell meat, and pay for the girl by the way.

Li An continued to stay outside the city to watch the fires, these fires will not end if they don't burn for three days and three nights, at least from the number of instruments built by Qi Yade, it can be seen that the old and weak who stayed behind did not dare to take risks, they could only burn little by little, not all at once, so as not to cause major accidents.

"Do you think Ziyad will be able to return to Khorasan without any problems?"

Li An asked softly.

"Li Shilang, can anyone stop Qi Yade, there are nearly 100,000 elites under his command, even if he is defeated in Maia City, but on the way, no one can stop Qi Yade."

The subordinate said.

Li An explained: "I'm not talking about anyone who can stop him, but about the internal problems of the Apos Dynasty, will anyone take the opportunity to make a fuss and bring down Ziyad, in this way, if Qiyad can't immediately make a decisive decision to raise troops, he will be completely finished." ”

"Li Shilang, whether Qi Yad will be finished, and how much it has to do with our Tang Dynasty, this is just an internal issue of the Apos Dynasty."

The subordinate said.

Li An nodded and said: "It really doesn't have much to do with it, but if Qi Yad can raise troops, it will definitely set off a new round of chaos in the Apos Dynasty, so that the little Khorasan will be divided again, and the more countries that are divided into Arabia, the easier it will be to control, which is very beneficial to our Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally related." ”

"In that case, how can we help Ziyad?"

The subordinate asked.

Li An shook his head and said: "It's not good for us to help directly, I've already reminded him, everything depends on his creation, we can't help anything, let's wait and see!" ”

After saying that, Ang Lee fell into deep thought.

Fragmented management is the usual means of many powerful empires that dominate, as long as the rest of the countries are divided into very small countries, in order to easily govern them, if a small country gradually sits on the big and becomes a strong country, it will form a challenge to the original power, and this is very unfavorable, so we must find a way to stop the weak country from becoming stronger, and at the same time, we must find a way to make the strong country become weaker, so as to facilitate control.

In the Arab world, which has been seriously divided, the Apos dynasty in Khorasan is undoubtedly the most powerful part of it, and has the potential to unify the entire Arabia, so it has naturally become the target of Li An's focus to contain, and correspondingly, it is necessary to improve the strength of Artik and Osmans, so that they can withstand the attack of the Apos dynasty, so that the al-Mansur group cannot complete the unification of the Arab world and cannot form a powerful country that threatens the Tang Dynasty.

Later generations of Western powers are also very willing to fragment the whole world, and after they have to leave the colonies, they use various means to split the colonies into a number of relatively independent countries, so that a single country will not be very strong, so that it is very convenient to control it, so that these small countries can never become strong, so as to always maintain their strength of the Western powers, so that the small countries of the colonies will never be able to turn over.

Among all the countries today, the most powerful empire is only the Tang Dynasty, and the next Tibetan has been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and the remaining Arab world has been divided, so the form is very good for the Tang Empire, and the form is very good.

Of course, you can't be too proud, you must humbly maintain this strength, so that the Tang Empire will always stand at the top of the world, the strength of the Mansur Group, Li An is very clear, so, for this group, we must maintain strong vigilance, and we must not let the Mansur Group sit big, otherwise, it will be a great threat to the Tang Empire sooner or later.

Watching the burning fire all the time is not very good for the eyes, Li An stopped looking at it for half an hour, but lay on the recliner and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Li Shilang, they're back."

The subordinate said.

Naturally, they were referring to the procurement personnel sent by Li An to the city, who were responsible for collecting a large number of delicacies in the city, and at the same time, they also brought some women back from the city to let the soldiers have a good time.

Li An was lying on the chair, although his eyes were closed, but his ears could hear the movement, he had already judged that the person sent out was back, and he also brought a lot of things, after all, the sound of the car was not so heavy when he left, and when he came back, the sound was much heavier.

"Look what they've brought back."

Li An got up slightly and looked not far away.

More than a dozen vehicles soon stopped, and a large group of soldiers immediately surrounded the trucks and unloaded the supplies on the trucks.

"Wow! So many little girls, it's so beautiful! ”

"Wow, where did you get so many little girls, it's really good."

When the soldiers saw the beauty, they were all very excited, and they couldn't wait to immediately pounce on it, push the beauty down, and vent their loneliness for many days.

Li An also saw these little girls, the number is really a lot, there are one or two hundred, which made Li An very surprised, I didn't expect his subordinates to get so many little girls, but what shocked Li An even more was that among these women, there were one-third of the number, and they didn't look like women in the dust at all, but they looked like women from good families, and even, there were many people who looked very similar, and at first glance it was the relationship between mother and daughter.

"What is the situation, how did you get so many women from good families, and how did the official explain it."

Li An thought that his subordinates had robbed the people's daughters, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to reprimand.

The subordinates said aggrievedly: "Li Shilang, the subordinates are all doing what you say, these women are not good women, they have just entered the Qinglou and have not had time to pick up guests, and the subordinates are really too wronged." ”

Li An was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately understood the reason, this must be because the attack and defense of the city were too fierce, and the men in the city all went to the city to fight, and some of them died on the battlefield, and their wives and daughters were left without anyone to take care of.

In this era, it is difficult for women to make a living in society, once a family loses a man, the family is likely to be completely finished, and women can only remarry when there is no way out, or fall into the dust, and the worst thing is to become a beggar begging along the street.

In the city of Maia, there are more men killed in battle, so remarriage also depends on luck, not every woman can remarry successfully, young and beautiful without children, the success rate of remarriage is the highest, and the old and decrepit, ugly, and with a few oil bottles, then don't count on it, basically there is no possibility of remarrying, and when the city is in ruins, it is not so easy to beg, so it has become the best choice to fall into the dust.

Many women who have lost their husbands will abandon their children and fall into the dust, but some women will choose to take their daughters to the Qinglou together, as long as the daughters are of the right age and appearance, in order to survive, it's as simple as that.

"It seems that this battle to attack and defend the city has caused a lot of losses to the city! There are so many women who are forced to live in the dust, hey! Are they all poor people? Tell the soldiers to be light, and know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”

Ang Lee opened his mouth and sighed.

The subordinates hurriedly responded: "Don't worry! Li Shilang, our soldiers are all teachers of benevolence and righteousness, all of them know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and they will definitely take it lightly, by the way, the subordinates have found a pair of sisters for you, they are all twenty-eight Fanghua, just entered the Qinglou, and have never received guests, handsome, pure, Chu Chu pitiful, absolutely the best. ”

Where to find such a sensible subordinate, Li An nodded with great satisfaction, and motioned to his subordinates to send people into the big tent.

Although he is getting older, Ang Lee's needs have not weakened in the slightest, but there are signs of gradual strengthening, which makes Ang Lee quite surprised.

However, it is always good to have a need, it is better than no interest at all, if you are not interested in women, it is a physical problem, a sign of serious aging, a very terrible thing.

Li Anning is willing to always be interested in young and beautiful women, which shows that his body has always been great, which is a sign of youth.

Soon, two young and beautiful women were sent to Li An's house, because they had just entered the Qinglou to make a living, their clothes had not been changed, they were still ordinary people's clothes, and the clothes were still a little shabby, and they looked like children of poor families.

Li Antonsheng felt pity, such a young and beautiful young lady must be cherished gently, so that they can appreciate what warmth and love are.

"You're hungry!"

Seeing them staring at the small snacks on the table, Li Ang had already guessed.
