Osman was a very capable general, a very capable man, he was not without loyalty, but he was not a fool, he would be loyal to a leader who convinced him, not a soft bone who would only run away.

As a general of the Umayyad Dynasty, he spent his whole life in the war, and made great contributions to the Umayyad Dynasty, and the expedition to the Kingdom of France was even more arduous, and his soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, but even so, he did not forget that he should be loyal to the Umayyad Dynasty, but his original loyal master had been executed by the Apos Dynasty, and the only remaining seedling of the royal family was still a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death, which made his heart very uncomfortable, just for his loyalty and reputation, and also for himself to have a way out. Only then did they agree to be loyal to this single seedling.

But this greedy lone seedling who is afraid of death is too ignorant, and he actually cares about the situation of the army, and gives unrealistic orders at will, if Osman is a foolish and loyal person, the only remaining soldiers and horses under his command will be reimbursed.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, many generals who have the ability to have military power will choose to be their masters, especially when the master's ability is low, this situation is more and more obvious, and Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty is a good representative.

The reason why this is done is because people are greedy, everyone wants to be in a high position, and they don't want to be subordinate to others and be a dog around others, and secondly, because if the master is too weak, he will kill many people.

In short, the powerful Ottoman had the conditions to stand on his own, and he was not afraid that the small court in the Spanish direction would hold him accountable for his disobedience, and it was a big deal that he would ascend the throne as emperor.

In the Khorasan direction, Apos's condition did not improve in the slightest, but now people are concerned not only about Apos's condition, but also about the situation in the DPRK.

Because the situation in the imperial court began to change, many officials were beheaded and belittled, and many officials were unusually promoted, all of which were the work of Apos, in order to weaken Abdullah's power and increase al-Mansur's support so that the empire could be inherited smoothly.

And in order to prevent Abdullah's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, on the one hand, he asked Mansur to be prepared for emergencies so that he could stop Abdullah in time when he was in trouble, and on the other hand, everything he did was justified, and it was not like killing the slaves around him, there was no reason to kill a few people for fun.

High-level officials will inevitably have problems of one kind or another, and few of them are clean, some like to play with women, some like to embezzle money, and some will do tricks and rob the people's property, in short, no official can withstand the investigation, as long as they go to investigate, they will always find a lot of bastards who violate rules and disciplines.

If they don't investigate, any official can be honest and honest, and once investigated, you will find out how many bad things they have done, enough to kill their heads and be exiled.

Since Apos wants to support Mansur to inherit the throne, he naturally does not let people investigate the officials of Mansur's forces, but more to investigate the officials who support Abdullah, and after finding out the evidence of the crime, he will make it public, and then execute him in a public place to play a deterrent role.

Because the evidence is conclusive, the officials who were executed did a lot of things that should not have been done, so even if Abdullah was heartbroken, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he couldn't complain about the supporters who made a big mistake!

As the patriarch of the Apos dynasty, Abdullah is a very sensible person, he knows that Apos is going to attack him, but he has no good way to deal with it, he can't find Opos directly, blame him for always targeting those who support him! After all, there are still a small number of officials who support Mansour who have been disposed of, in order to balance it a little, so as not to make things too obvious and cause a backlash from some people.

However, the storm of investigation launched by Apos did put everyone in danger in Khorasan, most of the officials, or all the officials, had the experience of making mistakes, and once they were investigated, it would be very bad, so many officials began to be cautious in doing things, and did not dare to offend anyone, so as not to be reported.

Some officials fled from Khorasan with their families to save their lives, and the clever officials had long seen that this was Abdullah's use of investigation to suppress Abdullah, so the officials who had not yet stood in line all went to visit Mansur and expressed their allegiance.

Even some of the officials who had been loyal to Abdullah began to change their courts, secretly running to al-Mansur's residence, offering generous gifts in order for al-Mansur to protect them.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, Abdullah will no longer be able to compete with al-Mansur, but fortunately, the current investigation is still in the realm of civilian officials, and the investigation has not yet begun to investigate the issue of military salaries withheld by military officers, and if Apos reaches out to the army, the impact will be even greater.

Therefore, in just a few days, Abdullah's supporters could not sit still, and they were keenly aware that many officials who were close to Abdullah had been investigated, and they themselves were estimated to suffer.

The trembling officials all gathered at Abdullah's residence to consult with Abdullah on how to deal with the matter and resolve the immediate crisis.

"Sir, the caliph has made it clear that he wants to target us, and if this continues, we will be executed sooner or later, and we must find a way to deal with it."

"Yes! Who can not make a mistake? The bigger the official, the more mistakes he will make. ”

"Sir, come up with an idea! If we don't act, we'll just be caught. ”

"A lot of our people have gone to curry favor with Mansour, these damn wall-to-wall grass."

Several supporters complained.

They are all hardcore supporters of Abdullah, and they have all done a lot of things that are not good for Mansur, and they have not left a way out for themselves, so it is difficult for them to be accepted by Mansour, so they can only go all the way to the dark and follow Abdullah wholeheartedly, even if the situation is very unfavorable to Abdullah now, they have no choice.

Abdullah gasped for breath in anger, not knowing what to say.

Because Apos is so well handled, every official who is disposed of is a person who has committed a lot of unforgivable sins, and there is absolutely no one who is wronged and lightly sinned, if Abdullah is questioned for his own supporters, this will obviously not work, except for his cronies, the rest of the people will not be unconvinced, so that the success rate of raising the army is greatly reduced.

But if he didn't immediately raise an army to resist and let Apos play tricks, then his supporters would become fewer and fewer, and the final outcome would still not be very good, or even very bad.

In other words, Abdullah now has the initiative, and Abdullah lacks sufficient chances of victory, whether he stands still or raises his army.

"Tell me, what the hell is going to do?"

Abdullah asked, looking at his supporters.

"Sir, we have no way to retreat now, so let's start our troops! It's the best thing to do. ”

"Yes! We can't sit still, we have to give the enemy a little color, let them know that we are not soft persimmons, we are not something to be pinched casually. ”

"Raise troops, you must raise troops, and take the palace as quickly as possible."

"At present, the only way to stop further losses is to raise troops, and there is no other way."

All the supporters can only think of the way to raise troops at present, and they can't think of the rest of the methods, because Apos's power tricks are very slippery, they are not Apos's opponents at all, and only raising troops is the solution to the fundamental problem.

"Raising troops, what you said is too light, what is the reason for starting troops, you must be famous in the division."

Abdullah had already thought about the path of raising an army, but he couldn't think of a more reasonable reason to start an army, if there was no sufficient reason to start an army, wouldn't it become a rebellion, once he couldn't kill Mansur with one blow, in the ensuing protracted war, Mansur's supporters would increase, and his chances of victory would be gone.

"Sir, there is a saying in Datang that there is no excuse for the crime of wanting to add, and it is not difficult to find a reason to start an army."

One supporter spoke.

"Oh, then tell me what is the most advantageous reason for raising troops."

Abdullah asked.

"It's enough to take the reason of Qiyad, when we raise an army, we can completely rebel against Qiyad and come back on the orders of Mansour, and Mansur recalled Qiyad in order to lead Khorasan to raise troops to exterminate our heroes, and in order to protect ourselves, we can only raise troops to resist and kill Qiyad and Mansur."

The henchman spoke.

"Yes, under the pretext of Ziyad's return to Khorasan, this reason will definitely be believed."

"Sir, don't hesitate, we have no way out except to raise troops, and if we don't have troops, we will die in Khorasan sooner or later."

Several supporters chimed in.

When Abdullah heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and it was indeed easy to make up rumors under the pretext of Ziyad's return, and it was easy for anyone who was dissatisfied with Mansur to believe it.

"Alright! Since there is no better way, there is only one way to rebel, Allah, which is really a sin. ”

Abdullah was quickly convinced, and felt that it was imperative to revolt.

However, it is not easy to raise an army to resist, the military force supporting Abdullah is indeed very strong, but the strength of Mansur should not be underestimated, Abdullah wants to storm the palace and kill Apos, who is already seriously ill, it is not difficult, but if Mansur escapes into the army, it will be difficult for him to kill Mansur, because the soldiers and horses under Mansur's command are very elite, and the strength is stronger than the soldiers and horses under his command.

In this way, the details of the army are very important, the organization of the army must be hidden, can not be discovered prematurely, and after the army is launched, it must be lightning fast, quickly surround the palace and al-Mansur's residence, control all Apos and al-Mansur, or even kill them all, in this way, the entire Apos Dynasty of the respected people, there will be only Abdullah left, in this way, the following things will be easy to do.

Among them, controlling and killing Mansur is the most important thing, once this step is wrong, or the goal is not achieved, the following work will fall into passivity, so you must keep an eye on Mansur's every move to ensure that after the army is raised, you can quickly find Mansur and kill him.

It is necessary to determine the date for the start of the army, and it is also necessary to confirm the mission objectives of each troop and horse, how to act, how to deal with emergencies, and so on.

"Raising troops is not a trivial matter, this is a big thing, once the news leaks and makes Mansour prepared, the consequences will be very bad, so the news of the army must not be leaked, you must not say it, you must not reveal a word to anyone, not even the closest people."

Abdullah said worriedly.

Since we have already made up our minds to raise troops, we must let them be carried out in concealment, without revealing the slightest clues, and once discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Sir, don't worry, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run away if something happens, so we won't say it."

The die-hard fans spoke.

"Okay, then let's discuss the specific date and plan of the operation! Within three days, it is necessary to study the date and plan for the start of the troops. ”

Abdullah spoke.

The situation is already quite dangerous, and if you don't act quickly, the consequences could be serious, so after making up his mind to raise troops, Abdullah must determine all the details of the mobilization in a very short period of time, so that he can launch the operation as soon as possible.

And the better the plan for raising troops, the better the effect of raising troops, so that they can have the effect of suddenly attacking and easier to achieve their own goals.

Abdullah and several hardcore henchmen gathered in the secret room of their residence and began to conduct a thorough study of the army, and there was a big argument, because different henchmen had different opinions on the details of the army, so it was inevitable that there would be quarrels.

Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of the secret room is very good, and there are henchmen guarding the outside, no matter how loud the sound inside is, the people outside can't hear it at all, so this is completely reassuring.

An argument is a few hours, the meals are eaten in the secret room, they are full of food and drink to continue the discussion, at the important moment of life and death, they naturally do not care too much about the living conditions, as long as they can successfully raise troops, they can go to the first order, all kinds of benefits are great, such good things are tempting enough, so that they do not hesitate to go all out, even if they don't sleep for a few days and nights, it is not a big deal, in order to succeed, they have to fight hard!
