An hour later, the Great Mosque of Khorasan in the city of Amu. A large number of cathars surrounded the guards, and no one was allowed to approach.

Some people in felt hats stood on the inside of the hollow door, cautiously peeping out. If you look closely, you will see that they are frightened and look terrified. The whole person was full of unease.

Pieces of goose feather snow are still falling quietly! But the bitter cold wind is already much smaller. It's just that the temperature drops and gets colder.

In order to dispel the cold, Li Gao asked the generals to set up tents and burn bonfires a few steps apart. so that the soldiers will not be frostbitten.

Compared to them, the people in the mosque are much more pitiful. Because open flames are strictly prohibited, there is no heating in the temple. In addition, in order to facilitate the worship of believers, the mosque was built quite empty.

Even if people gather, it is not so easy to warm up the temple.

Not to mention the doors and windows used to shelter from the wind and rain, which have long been demolished by the cathars. Therefore, under the cold wind, the inside is as cold as an ice cellar.

It's just that even so, no one dared to take a step out of the door.

Of course, this is not how devout they are to Allah, nor how sure they are of affection for the mosque. Instead, the corpses outside the door were half-covered by snow, reminding them that they would die if they came out.

And this is just a short time ago!

A little farther away, more bodies were buried under the snowdrifts.

It was these bloody lessons that made them prefer to stay in the ice-like temple than step out of the threshold that would cost their lives.

But if you don't die, you won't die! Who made them be instigated by others, and vainly wanted to rely on the mosque to resist the cathars without fear?

Then the bitter fruit must also be borne.

At the same time! The Doge's Palace, which is not far from it.

The magnificent, majestic buildings have all burned down. Except for a few ruins, not half of the houses remained. However, after continuous snowfall, the black ash in one place has been buried by the snow.

The original imprint has also been worn away.

At the same time, a large number of military tents stood on it like a chess board. Densely packed, at least a thousand tops. From time to time, there were patrolling soldiers, diligently clearing the snow from the tents. so as not to collapse the military tent under heavy pressure.

In this way, the governor's palace became a huge military camp.

It is also the most abundant charcoal fire here.

Like after the Governor's Mansion was burned down, it was all accumulated charcoal. Even if there are brave people, they secretly move a little into their homes. However, due to the short period of time, it was impossible to vacate it.

However, the slight trouble is that the charcoal has been soaked in heavy snow. To be used as heating, it must be dried. With current conditions, this is not a difficult task.

The other is the location of the Doge's Palace, which is right in the center of the city. Regardless of the southeast, northwest, it is easy to connect. And it covers a wide area, and after it burns down, it is a flat land. It is not only convenient for heating, but also convenient for camping.

So Li Chengji ordered the army to be stationed here!

First, it is to deter all parties in the city and calm people's hearts. Second, we will use local materials to survive the cold winter.

At present, in the middle of a group of military tents, there is a military tent that covers a wide area. Like the stars and the moon, it is tightly guarded in the middle.

This is the military tent of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan, and it is also the place where the new owner of the city of Amu lived.

Zaheil, the former petty official of Amu City, held a large stack of books and hurriedly followed behind Rabi Lasi. When he came to the military tent, he involuntarily raised his head and looked at it a few times.

To be honest, if it was possible, he wanted to leave the city of his mother.

It's a pity that he's just a petty official!

Even though his immediate boss Di Wan favored him, he received the royal order to withdraw from Amu City. still hid from him, secretly took his family with him, and fled overnight.

When he went to the treasury the next day, he realized that something was wrong.

That night, the governor's palace and the barracks were on fire one after another.

That scene can be described as moving. The entire city of Amu was stained by firelight. The dark night is also dyed into day.

And the people of the whole city were terrified, and they were afraid that the fire would spread and burn the whole city.

But the gates were closed, and no one could get out.

Fortunately, the fire was finally brought under control! Otherwise, the whole city will be burned, and there will be heavy casualties.

At this time, Wang's army entered the city in a big way.

Not only did he not post a list of people, but he also replaced the soldiers of the governor's palace and blocked the city gates. makes it impossible for ordinary people to enter and exit at all.

Although there is news that it is to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the fire to rob and commit chaos. But after the arrival of Wang Jun, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city moved frequently. In the past, arable land, pastures, cattle and sheep, which were sold at high prices, were sold at extremely low prices.

The shops in the city were also sold in large quantities. Many large households, which have never been transferred, are also among the transfers.

Zaheil also guessed that things were not simple!

It's a pity that he was forced by the soldiers to count the treasury overnight.

As a result, he has no idea what is happening in the outside world.

Wait until the gates are opened again. The rich families in the city are all empty. The governor's palace, the treasury, and the royal army were also withdrawn cleanly.

The Apologists, who were rarely heard of, entered the city in the face of the snowstorm.

Now that the city gates are sealed again, it is impossible to get out of the city.

However, even if the cathars allowed the people to leave the city, he did not dare to leave the city of Amu.

Because it's snowing now!

Every winter, it snows in Amu City. Maybe three days and three nights, all of which are endless. When the time comes, it will be cold and snowy everywhere, and the cold will be unbearable. If you go out of the city, it is tantamount to killing yourself.

So for the sake of his own life, he had to stay.

At the moment, he can only accept this new master who rules the city of Amu, the governor of Khorasan.

When he was secretly stunned, Rabi Lasi, who came to the front of the military tent, was already dissatisfied: "What are you looking at? Don't keep the Governor waiting! ”。 As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and walked in first.

When Zaheil heard this, he immediately tightened his arms and tightened his arms in recent years, recording the increase and decrease of household registration and tax income in Amucheng, and quickly followed.

In his heart, he did not know why the new governor had to read these books. And today is the first day of entering the city, so I can't wait.

But for the sake of his life, he still remembered not to ask what he shouldn't ask, and not to say what he shouldn't say.

With such doubts, he has come to the account.

Compared to the outside, inside the military tent are simply two worlds. So that as soon as Zahaire entered, he suddenly felt a warm breeze coming from the surface. The cheeks and hands, which were originally a little numb from the cold, also instantly warmed up.

"Give it to me!" Rabi Rasi took the book from Zahair's hand.

Feeling the lightness of his hand, Zaheil immediately saluted Li Chengji and said to the governor.

"Hmm!" , Li Chengji, who was sitting at the top, was looking at the map on the table. When he heard someone greeting him, he answered without looking back.
