Chapter 489: Collecting Food at the Banquet
From the day the battle began, he hoped that Khorasan would send reinforcements.
But with the fall of one city after another, the Liao army was defeated step by step. The expectation in his heart slowly turned into disappointment. At the moment, my heart is as desperate as stagnant water.
So he thought it all! In any case, the last drop of blood must be shed to defend the largest fortified city of Bahan for the Great Liao.
"But that kid of Yizhi is the most affectionate and righteous. Three years ago, I went back to Balasagon and bumped into me, and I was quite well-behaved! Now that the destruction of the Great Liao is imminent, he won't die without help, right? The middle-aged beauty still has a few expectations.
Tayang Gu shook his head and responded, "At the beginning, Yelu Zizheng's old thief killed the Li family!" Even if Yizhi is loyal to Da Liao, he can't help but feel cold like ice! ”。
Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "The pair of orphans and widows of the Li family passed through our sweating, didn't we not help?" If we are in trouble today, don't expect the Li family to help us. ”。
In the old years, when Li Xiao's family passed through Bahan, Tayang Valley was unable to disobey the holy order, so he did not help Li Xiao's mother and son. But he didn't send troops to arrest him! But the soldiers and horses under their orders all stood by and watched. Otherwise, with his control over Pakhana, Li Xiao's mother and daughter would never be able to cross the Syr Darya.
The middle-aged beautiful woman also knew the inside story of this matter, and couldn't help but say: "Yizhi's mind is transparent, and she naturally understands her husband's suffering. And if we hadn't stood by and watched, how did Li Xiao's mother and daughter cross the Kuzhang River (Syr Darya)? ”。
"Hey! In your woman's opinion, how can you know the destruction of the Liao Kingdom, it is not what Khorasan is looking forward to! Tayang Gu sighed. As a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, his strategic vision will never be bad. Therefore, from the history of the founding of Khorasan, it can be clearly found that Khorasan is like a snowball, growing stronger and stronger.
All the national or local forces that are adjacent to it are also affected by it. Like Khorezm, the land of Persia has been lost. The Western Qarakhanid State lost half of its territory. The kingdom of Gur no longer exists. So what about the old Liao! And how can it compete with the scorching sun of Khorasan.
Therefore, the demise of the Great Liao is more beneficial to Khorasan than to survive.
The middle-aged beautiful woman knew that Tayang Valley had a unique vision, so she only sighed and didn't speak again.
The whole siege battle also lasted until the evening, and finally stopped. The Da Liao soldiers who have been tired for a day will finally have a chance to rest.
And outside the city, large tents stretched out on the banks of the Kuzhang River. A steeple-roofed church stands out in a sea of white tents.
At this time Mahamat was sitting in the church, and at the bottom were the chiefs of the tribes of the land of Bakhana and the nobles of the cities. The cross used for prayer has been removed and the church has been rearranged.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many Nestorian Christians among the Kipchak tribe! Mahamat would also have the statue of Jesus smashed.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Today, the leaders of all the tribes and cities of Bahanna gather here, which is an unprecedented blessing. Come! We drink this cup together to show our joy. Khorezm Vizier Amin stood up and shouted.
He wears a felt hat and a heel-length robe. The slightly convex lower abdomen is full of wealth.
The chiefs of the various departments and the heads of the cities on the field did not dare to refuse! They all laughed and sang very happily and raised their glasses to greet each other. Although in their hearts, they were all thinking about Mahamat's intentions. There are even some people who are still looking forward to the defeat of Khorezm.
But no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction at this time. After drinking the wine in the glass, they congratulated Mahamat one after another. At the same time, he is quite loyal to show that he is happy and convinced of Khorezm.
As Mahamat listened, his heart welled up with a little complacency. The sulking that had been suffered at the hands of Khorasan in the past also seemed to have a chance to take revenge.
After a long period of rejoicing with the guests, Amin brought up the topic.
"The Liao people have been abandoned by heaven, and I, Khorezm, am the hero. And the land of Bakhanna has been blessed by the true god since ancient times. Today, I, the Sultan of Khorezm, uphold the will of the true God and restore the glory of the true God of Bathhan. Those Liao pagans, it's time to get out of this land of true gods! ”。
After all, the Khorezm soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, sent in a group of non-Muslim Buddhists, Nestorians, and Zoroastrian (Zoroastrian) believers. There are also some Han Chinese and Khitan people who obviously have the characteristics of Oriental people.
Among these people, there are ordinary businessmen and ordinary people, as well as Liao army soldiers who were captured on the battlefield. There are also Liao nobles who do not accept Khorezm, and there are some monks, abbots and bishops.
"I will take the land of Bakhana today, and I will wash away the filth and filth of this land with blood, and purify the kingdom of the true God." As soon as Amin's words fell, those Khorezm soldiers asked them to kneel in front of Mahamat.
At the same time, he drew the long knife he was wearing and cut off the heads of these people.
Just listen to the puff and puff! In the blink of an eye, there are dozens of more heads on the field. The guests who were still smiling changed their faces. The whole field was silent all of a sudden.
Mahamat watched the changes in everyone's faces, and felt a little satisfied in his heart. Because he was meant to give these people a dismount! So as to let them know that this Bahanna has changed masters. Even if Khorasan will call in the future, the owner of this land is still their Khorezm.
So in many things, we have to follow the meaning of their Khorezm. Otherwise, these heads on the earth will be their fate.
Amin looked at everyone's instantaneous changes in their faces, and was a little funny. But he still pretended to be nothing, and said, "I invite you to meet here today!" The first is to build together the glory of the true god of Bahan; Come on! It is also the shortage of food and grass for our army in Khorezm. ”。
Although the latter words were not said, everyone was not stupid.
It's just that in the matter of grain and grass, it can be big or small. Everyone didn't want to be the first to come out, so they all looked at their hearts and ears, and they looked out of the way.
Amin looked at Mahamat! Seeing that he nodded, he sneered and glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "Bahan's new recovery, the Liao army should also be investigated." Once it is found out, it is time to learn the methods of Khorasan! Raid the house and kill the head! ”。
The last four words are deliberately said very slowly.
When everyone heard this, their already ugly faces turned a little whiter. As a result, the dazzling array of wine and food has become difficult to swallow.
"I-we sacrifice 2,000 sheep to show our heart." , a tribal chieftain feared extermination, said loudly. After all, the Great Liao ruled in Bahanna for so long, and the heads of various departments and cities inevitably had something to do with the Liao.
So once checked, no one's butt was clean.
