For Puhua Timur, this attack on Lai'an County was really a plan for him to weaken the people of Quanzhou, and the other was also a plan to kill two birds with one stone in order to recover the land in the future.
The long-lived Jiangnan family is not considering the royal family at this time, but the interests of their own family, and tens of thousands of troops have crossed the river at this time, and the nearly 10,000 soldiers must have successfully taken down Leiguan Town.
"My lord, it is not the best time for your army to use troops at this time, and if the color eyes of the soldiers cannot capture Leiguan Town, it will be a huge obstacle for our army to march to Chuzhou in the next step. As the brother-in-law of Puhua Timur? Xin Kasol is the head of the generals of Jiqing Mansion, and he is quite prestigious, and he disagrees with his brother-in-law's expedition this time, so he persuaded him.
"Xin, this time is not the same as before, our army sent a large number of detailed work to Lai'an County to carefully inspect, at this time to make such an attack will inevitably surprise the monk of the small temple, if you can get Lai'an, it will inevitably open a knife in the heart of the Chuzhou red turban thief, and the imperial army of the nearby Hubei and Hunan provinces will not be able to sit idly by, but want to get a piece of the pie! At that time, if I ask Marshal Lipingnan to go up, I will inevitably be named Marshal Pingnan in person. ”
"If this wish can be achieved, we can support the crown prince in the future, if there is a day, it will inevitably restore my court to the state of the return of all ethnic groups, and my Kuozi clan will also become the head of dozens of families, this is what this official thinks, and in this case, I am not strong enough and not familiar with water warfare and mountain warfare, so I will summon the Persian clan to come to the front, which can not only pose a threat to Lai'an, but also weaken the Persian army."
"Prior to this, the official had to use the power of the Persians because of the struggle with the prime minister for the control of Quanzhou, the tax city of the world, but at present, the Persians are growing in strength, and if they are not suppressed, I am afraid that it will become a future trouble."
"If it can deplete the Persian army, and it can also reduce casualties for our side to capture the Chuzhou Red Turban Thieves, this official can only have this method at this time!" Puhua Timur couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time.
He was very disappointed in the imperial court, three years ago, he once entered the capital again to meet Emperor Yuan Hui, and Emperor Yuan Hui had been deeply involved in the production of strange and obscene skills, completely ignoring government affairs, and through the control of the government by several powerful ministers around him, the prince also left Shanxi to form a power center alone, and almost fought against the imperial court.
"My lord, I understand! Please give the order. After hearing his brother-in-law's words, he immediately understood that this plan would kill two birds with one stone, which could not only weaken the threat of the Persian people in Quanzhou to the Fuzhejiang area, but also change the situation in the imperial court.
As a member of the family, of course, Xinkasol understood what Puhua Timur was thinking, that is, to enter the Zhongshu Province in the imperial court and become a candidate in the center of power.
This time the troops were sent to take advantage of the fact that Lai'an County was captured by Chuzhou not long ago, and the people's hearts were unstable, so that they could take the initiative in the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Xinkasol understood what her brother-in-law meant, and then she readily agreed to attack with all her might.
"Good! Now that nearly 10,000 iron horsemen have crossed the river in Jiqing Mansion, this time I will definitely kill the red turban dog thief who dares to stop the righteous division of my imperial court. Puhua Timur laughed and stood on his horse, stretched out his hand and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.
"General! How can you let that Han dog go? A hundred households who were beside Solaman asked a little puzzled.
"Stupid! There is no need to ask, and if the order goes down, the other party has never met me, otherwise he will not be spared! Solaman scolded with a little madness in his eyes.
"Yes, General! But you said let's withdraw our troops, how can this be retreated? If the other side attacks us at this time, I am afraid that our army will be a mess and will be slaughtered by others at the right time, please think twice! The hundred-hundred-hu asked again with some concern.
"Afraid of what? Our army only needs to retreat to the river in two wings, and we don't have to worry about the imperial army, after crossing the river, we will rush back to Quanzhou, and return to the two kings. Solaman glared at him and roared, apparently it was his subordinate who had caused his anger.
From any point of view, if Solaman's whole army fought to the end against the Red Turban Army on the border of Lai'an County, his family would lose ground, and the Persian Semu would also weaken the strength of the Persians.
And the Solaman family will completely become the lowest family of Persian descendants, this is the result of what he does not want to get, Shang Yu pointed out this matter, Solaman suddenly came to his senses, nothing is more important than family interests, the families of Persian descendants are all because of the commercial interests in central Fujian and tied together, the pirates from Persia slowly became merchants Jiang lived in central Fujian, but the instinct to tend to interests was never lost, it was Shang Yu who said the words after he weighed it and knew where he was, It was a typical abandoned army, and in this case he had no choice but to accept Shang Yudi's advice.
And what Shang Yu said also made him quite tempted, that is, the Chuzhou area will be secretly trading with merchants controlled by the Solaman family, if it is to do business in this kind of chaotic season, in addition to security issues, it will be a great profit, especially the things that the rebels lack can be provided by their family, this suggestion is quite tempting.
Even so, Solaman didn't want to let Shang Yu go, the two countries were at war and didn't kill him, so he didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and he didn't want to kill Shang Yu just wanted to take Shang Yu as a hostage, if he retreated, the thousands of Red Turban Army who had already arrived and the Tang and the army that had been reborn like a bloody prison in Naleiguan Town would inevitably cause great damage to the army in his retreat.
But Shang Yu's shock to him was too great, and when he ordered more than a dozen soldiers around him to capture Shang Yu, a strange thing happened suddenly......
