Chapter 4 Social Rat (Part 2)
For those who are about to drown, even if they see a feather on the surface of the water nearby, they must hold it in their hands. What's more, the Adi family behind Xiao Ali is huge enough to be called a giant ship?!
Immediately, the crowd rushed up, pulling arms and thighs, and forking their beards out of the council room. Afterwards, everyone greeted each other with their eyes, and chose to stay or leave after assessing their worth. Soon, only a few people in the entire council hall were left, including the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Amur, the commander of the Holy War Gaz, and the volunteer commanders Gharib and Hasiri, all staring at Xiao Ali with hot eyes, waiting for him to give an answer.
Xiao Ali didn't mean to be in a hurry at all, he poured himself a bowl of tea and soup, and while tasting it slowly, he repeatedly looked at the faces of the few people who remained.
"Do you have a way to do it? Hurry up, don't expect to sell for a better price in the future? The commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Ai Kailamu, was so anxious that he glared at Xiao Ali fiercely and shouted loudly.
The second half of the sentence was originally a folk saying of Dashi, and the meaning was roughly the same as that of words such as 'selling guanzi' and 'tickling people' in Tang dialect. It has nothing to do with doing business at all. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ali immediately bit Ai Kailamu's tongue, laughed dryly, stared into the other party's eyes and asked, "What does the general mean, can we already bargain?" There is a saying in my hometown that you should not give favors to others unless they can give them in return. The ideas I am going to say below involve the lives and deaths of many people. I'm afraid that just using the word kindness can no longer be equivalent! ”
Long before the Prophet followed the Prophet Muhammad, the Adi family was a wealthy businessman. The commander of the Crusade Army, who was familiar with these historical origins, certainly did not expect to accept the help of the Adi family in vain. After a moment of silence, he replied loudly: "I can swear by my loyalty to Allah that if you can help me escape the great disaster this time, I and my family will always be friends of the Adi family!" ”
"I can swear too!"
"I can too, even serve the Adi family!"
Several other core generals were anxious to get out of the responsibility for the defeat and rushed to express their stance to Little Ali.
Xiao Ali smiled slightly, put down the tea bowl, and responded indifferently: "You say this, it's all for the Adi family." What's in it with me personally! ”
"Personally?" The commander of the Crusade Army, Ai Kailamu, was stunned by the question, and immediately realized that the cunning little guy in front of him may not be the only heir of the Adi family. If he can't inherit the family business in the future, wouldn't he be working for others all the hard work he has done today? "If you don't think I'm high, I can be friends with you for life!" Gritting his teeth, Ai Kailam added loudly. "The friendship I promised to the Adi family can only be fulfilled through you as a liaison!"
"Yes, if you can help us get out of trouble. I will never forget your kindness. Give back when you need it! Garib, the leader of the volunteers, was not slow to respond, and followed closely behind Aqiram and made a vow.
The most direct is the Holy War Commander Amur, who simply picked the conversation to the point, "You have a lot of brothers, right?" What if, in times of need, the judges and the military unite to make it clear that they respect you? ”
Xiao Ali smiled slightly, and quickly revealed his "true" intentions, "I just asked casually!" How could you be involved in the internal affairs of the Adi family! I just hope that after returning to my hometown, everyone will not forget the love of a few of us who have worked together to overcome difficulties today! ”
"Yes, yes, who doesn't know that the Adi family has always been united!" Everyone laughed in unison, surrounding little Ali and responding.
That being said, everyone knows in their hearts that this deal has already been negotiated. Xiao Ali received the expected benefits, and did not continue to go around in circles, considered his rhetoric, and asked in a low voice: "Have you thought about it a few generals?" What is the ultimate goal of Anxi's westward expansion this time? ”
"Of course you drove us away from here?!" The commander of the Crusade Army, Ai Kailamu, frowned slightly, and his words revealed a little impatience.
"General, don't be in a hurry!" Little Ali waved his hand and continued to follow the path, "The answer is not so simple. Get rid of us? Where to get to where is the end? The Anxi army is in its early 30,000s at most, and it has already conquered the two countries of Dabolu and Jiandaluo one after another, has not yet satisfied its appetite? Do you have to fight all the way to Mecca? ”
"How dare he?"
"The flames of jihad will burn them to death!" The crowd was furious, gritting their teeth and stomping their feet in response. In the past hundred years, only the Great Food Nation has been plundering from the east and west, how can the heretics have the strength to spy on the Holy Land? Unless they are all made of steel, a faithful follower of Allah along the way can twist them alive into powder with a single finger.
As the commander of the First Army, Ai Kailam was far calmer in his thinking than the other generals. In addition to anger, he also faintly saw a glimmer of light, "You mean to say that Anxi ** has no specific strategic intentions other than revenge?!" ”
"At least, they won't be able to hit Mecca in one go!" Little Ali smiled and nodded slightly.
"That's it!" Akairam smiled bitterly and agreed, "Even if every battle along the way is won, and there are no casualties and attrition, a city with 200 men to garrison, before they reach Mecca, their troops have already been distributed!" ”
"Sensei said that he was spying on the Holy Land, and it is estimated that even Khorasan was not expected to be taken down!" The Holy War Commander Amr also reacted, shook his head, and smiled wryly, "There are too few of them. At most, two more cities will be conquered, and you will have to stop! But we're too. The warriors of Allah actually count on the other side to have few people! ”
"There is nothing to be ashamed of playing to your strengths!" Little Ali quoted a maxim and wiped away the shame in Amur's heart lightly.
"Let's think about it this way! Anxi** is only a part of Datang. There were not enough men and forces for the expedition. Unless the Tang Empire will support it with all its might. After a pause, Xiao Ali continued to analyze for everyone, "So for the Tang Empire and our Great Food Country, the battle in front of us is actually not able to hurt the internal organs. However, some generals of the Tang Empire were very ambitious, and actually gathered more than 20 countries in the Western Regions to form a huge coalition army, trying to take Khorasan and completely annex the Hanzhong region. Aqiram and several generals led the group to fight bloodily and outnumbered the enemy, so that Anthi** fully realized the power and loyalty of the believers of Allah. Although because of the betrayal of the Gentoros, the Crusade suffered huge losses. However, it also completely crushed the ambition of ** to continue westward expansion......."
