During this period, Malu's defenders also went out of the city to engage the cathars. But with his excellent skills and years of experience in the army, Kalwan has always been more than able to deal with it. and killed two enemy generals one after another, so frightened the city lord of Malu that he no longer dared to send troops out of the city.

Then, in order to raise grain and grass, he deliberately 'borrowed' grain from villages and towns outside the city.

Like Li and them, Kalwang's rear army 'borrowed grain', and they had to borrow it if they didn't borrow it. If they do not cooperate, they will be accused of being an enemy and all their family property will be confiscated.

It's ridiculous to say.

For the local people of Maru, the cathars are the real enemy. But in the mouth of the cathars, the original Malu County officers and soldiers have become enemies.

This kind of 'high-sounding' reason for borrowing grain makes those people dare not speak out.

Although the apologists left an IOU, the conduct of the officers and soldiers in this era was not much different from that of the horse bandits. Therefore the people did not believe it.

Kalwan is not afraid of this. Anyway, this matter was ordered by the governor. And the tribal people of Khorasan have always been afraid of power and virtue. If a good man 'borrows' grain from them, he will not be able to borrow a grain of rice.

Therefore, they can only use absolute power to make them obediently hand over the grain and grass. This also provides a certain amount of material support for the next military operation.

So in a short period of time, Kalwan raised 50,000 or 60,000 loads of grain and grass. And that's just the land of Malu City within a hundred miles of it. If you go a little further, you will definitely be able to raise more.

However, considering that Malu City is a desert city, the farther away from the river, the less arable land will be cultivated. Correspondingly, land fertility is also limited. Therefore, the main production area is still concentrated around Malu City.

A little further afield, although it can be raised. But in terms of volume, it is far inferior to the surroundings of Malu City. Karwan didn't have time, so after getting the news that Salah had been conquered, he left with his troops.

Along the way, he traced the river. The villages and towns by the river were 'looted'. Only according to the ration of half a year per person, a certain amount of grain and grass is left.

This made many rich families grit their teeth with hatred.

But most of the poor are grateful to the cathars. Because when the cathars 'borrowed food', they didn't target them. Moreover, for some slave-born shepherds and farmers, slavery was abolished in accordance with the decree of Puhua Land.

Although it is through the way of 'redemption', those rich families do not dare to boast of Haikou's much-wanted. And Kalwan still used borrowed grain and grass to help the slaves redeem themselves. So that it sounds like they are using their money to buy their people.

If it happens to anyone, it will make you angry.

But they didn't dare to show it!

Because the broadsword of the cathar army is not for viewing.

This makes the freed slaves become the 'slaves' of the cathars. Even if the cathars say that they are free people, they are used to being subordinates, and the slaves still have a process of adapting to their status.

plus their ransom money, but they have to pay it back. In their hearts, the slaves increasingly believed that the cathars were their masters.

What's more, the Turkic dynasties such as the Khara Khan, the Gejinin, and the Seljuks slowly grew from the tribes. Later, after the establishment of the dynasty, the rule of the nomadic group was also retained. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Khorasan, the cathars are a big tribe.

Even Da Liao is just a more armored tribe.

Karwan didn't explain this. For each conquered place, one person was appointed as the head of the village or town from among the slaves or the elders close to the cathars. When it conquers Maaru one day, it will report to the Governor's Palace for his reappointment.

As for whether these newly appointed village chiefs or town chiefs can keep their positions, it is not for him to worry about.

He's going to stay here for a long time anyway!

After all, without the conquest of Maru County, it would be difficult for the cathars to establish a solid rule in these places.

So as long as these people add to the chaos when the Malu garrison recovers here. I can't say that I can still be the guide of the cathars to conquer Maru.

In this way, the army does not walk fast.

By the time they arrived at Salahs, the three major cities of Nishapur had been completely conquered.

But it's better to come by chance than to come at a good time!

Li was worried about the scarcity of defenders in Tus City. This Kalwan led the army to arrive. It was an instant, relieving his worries.

Then he sent another thousand eagle cavalry, and the battalion that went to kill them, to form a blocking army of three thousand. Although in terms of numbers, it is two thousand fewer than the reinforcements from Guchang. But the cathars who take the route of elite soldiers are certainly no worse than those rabbles that have been improvised together.

Therefore, Li Dawei also has great confidence in this blocking army.

This change in the cathar army was soon felt by the imams and merchants in the city. In particular, the number of defenders patrolling the city was reduced by half compared to the past. Everyone's careful thinking will inevitably become active.

Sabah Muhammad House. This is the mansion of Imam Adez of the city of Tos!

In addition to being religious, it has a highly respected status. His family is also one of the few big families in Tus City. Over the past hundred years, the rulers of Tus City have changed dozens or even hundreds. But the Sabah Muhammad family has been prosperous in the city of Tus.

Now there are thousands of hectares of fertile land outside the city. Nishapur and Salah Hes and other places have also purchased a lot. In addition, the workshops opened, the shops purchased, and the business routes operated were simply a source of money.

In the city of Tus, it is like the existence of a snake on the ground.

Successive newcomers to the Governor of Nishapur have deliberately befriended the Sabah Muhammad family. The Seljuk dynasty also appointed the Sabah Muhammad family as the governor of the land. By the time of Khorezm, there were quite a few Sabah Muhammads who worked for the former and current sultans.

Even the previous westward invasions of the Gur Kingdom did not dare to embarrass the rulers of the Sabah Muhammad family too much.

So over time, the Sabah Muhammad family became the 'leader' of many families in the city of Tous. In the people, it has a very high prestige.

At this time, after the current family Adez Sabah Muhammad issued a summoning order, most of the big people in the city of Tus rushed to come.

But after seeing that there are still many vacant seats, Adez looks a little unpleasant. For a long time, there was no invitation from their Sabah Muhammad family, and no guests could not come. Therefore, these people are simply insulting and insulting the face of the Sabah Muhammad family.

It's just that because of the current scene, I have to hold back my anger and pretend to be calm.
