As he walked down the steps, he was a little embarrassed: "It is my duty to keep out the enemy." It's just the food and grass in the city..."

Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone knew what it meant. As the head of the imams, Adez immediately forced a smile on his face and said, "I will give a hundred loads of wheat to replenish the army." ”。 Seeing this, the others also contributed money and food.

But when converted into dinars, they are between twenty and fifty.

"These old guys!" , Yinalsu listened, and secretly scolded these imams for being stingy. But on the surface, he didn't dare to show it. His brows furrowed even tighter, and he sighed for a long time: "If I can see the Sultan again, I will definitely tell you the truth about your good deeds." However, if the city of Tus cannot be defended, it will be difficult for the Sultan to know about your good deeds. ”。

When the imams heard this, they were immediately embarrassed. Adez knew that if he couldn't hold Tus at the moment, the wealth he had accumulated would probably be in vain. So after being silent for a long time, he finally gave 10,000 loads of barley, wheat and other surplus grains quite painfully.

Under his leadership, the other imams could no longer hide and tuck. They unanimously added money or food and grass to show their support.

At this moment, the frown of Yinalsu was relieved. In fact, the grain and grass in the city are enough for the people of the city to eat for more than half a year. If it's only for garrisons, it can last longer. But Yinareshu is a money junkie! Although he was in a time of crisis, he did not forget to extort money from the imams.

In the end, this opportunity is hard to come by.

And inspired by this, he also hit the idea on the merchants and landlords in the city. After the imam left, in the name of defending the city, he invited all the merchants and gentry in the city to come to his mansion to discuss important matters.

Despite its size, his mansion was less illustrious than Khamenilf's. But the decorations and objects inside are the most top-notch ever found. And, like Khamenilf, he had a mansion in every city in the Nishapur region. Related to this is a large amount of land and paving.

So if Nishapur loses, his loss is not small.

As long as he could hold the city of Tus and the land of Nishapur, he held on as best he could.

This is different from Khamenilf, who is always ready to roll up and escape.

At this time, the cathars outside the city had blocked the three roads out of the city in Tus under the order of Li Gao. In the north and south directions, it is garrisoned by the Eagle and Chiyan. The firmament and the artillery battalion remained at the West Gate.

Only the eastern gate was unmanned, which was a deliberately missed gap. This is the usual technique of 'encircling three missing one' on the battlefield. Even to the east, Salah was occupied by the cathars, and the defenders were lucky enough to think they would escape.

After all, there is a long way between Tus and Salahs. As long as you run away separately, the chances of being caught are extremely low.

However, Li Dawei dared to arrange it like this, and it was impossible not to have the means to prepare in advance.

This result can be guessed by even a slightly sensible general. But the soldiers below, it's hard to say. Seeing that the way to life was in front of them, their determination to defend the city was greatly reduced.

In this regard, the cathars are happy to see it.

It's just that in this way, there is a clear disadvantage. That is, the apologetics army was already small in the first place, and it was very scattered. As a result, the Khorezm garrison in the city has various opportunities to break through.

Such an obvious flaw was immediately reported to the Yinar technique.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! If the heretics are united, I will have to weigh them. But they actually divided their troops to besiege the city, and I, a man from Farazm, don't need to be afraid. He was in a good mood and said loudly.

Just half an hour ago, he had just scavenged a large sum of money and grain from the merchant gentry. Although it was under the guise of the current enemy, those merchants and gentry did not dare to argue anything. But in the heart, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable.

And these people have a good relationship with the imams! I can't talk about it in front of those old guys. Later, it came to the Sultan that he should not be reprimanded.

So with a victory, you can just gag their mouths.

So when he heard the news of the division of the cathars, he only felt sleepy and sent a pillow, and he was very happy.

Later in the day, the cathars who had encamped also began to make fires and cook. In order to commend the soldiers of the three armies for their bravery in killing the enemy, Li Gao also ordered people to slaughter thousands of cattle and sheep. This is from Mashhad and the surrounding villages and towns! Some wrote IOUs, which were considered to have been spent. There are also shepherds who flee, cattle and sheep run around, and are regarded as ownerless by the cathars.

Of course, if the master's family comes to claim it, the cathars will also admit it. After all, the military regulations of the Apologetics are not to take a stitch from the people casually. Unless it is a special combat mission, it cannot be snatched privately.

It's just that because of the prestige of the cathars, no master dares to come to the barracks to find the lost cattle and sheep.

Even those cattle and sheep who wrote IOUs, the local people did not dare to collect money. It was the cathars who bluffed and threatened that they accepted it with trepidation. But many people burned the IOUs in the blink of an eye. Even if there is something left, it should be given away for nothing.

After all, since ancient times, I have never heard that the army takes the people's things and spends money. So if I can not hurt their lives, I am very grateful.

It was in this situation that the local people did not care about the IOUs of the cathars.

At present, the soldiers defending the city watched the scene of the cathars eating and drinking, and they didn't consciously save their saliva.

In the end, in this era, it is very hard to be a soldier and fight. Except for those guards who were domesticated by the superiors, the other soldiers were treated very poorly. The annual food and salary can only be plundered on the battlefield. However, wars are not common, and victory or defeat is unpredictable. Therefore, most of the soldiers are not paid.

Even if you eat, it also depends on the character of Hajib who led the soldiers. If you love soldiers like children, you can at least have a full stomach. If you only care about your own enjoyment, then the soldiers below will only go hungry.

And the Enale technique is just the latter!

He only cares about how to stuff money into his arms on weekdays! As a result, the grain and grass issued to the soldiers were secretly replaced by him with aged wheat. Therefore, it is often difficult for a group of soldiers to eat a full stomach. At the end of the year, it's hard to taste meat.

Some of the generals noticed this and immediately reported it to Yinalshu.

As a result, he was angry and severely reprimanded. But the Yinal technique is full of anger, and people are not confused. It was quite distressing for people to use the newly harvested wheat this year and grind it into flour to make dry food for everyone. At the same time, hundreds of cattle and sheep were snatched from the hands of merchants who bought and sold cattle and sheep in the city.

After slaughtering, it is boiled into broth and distributed with dry food.

If it was in the past, the soldiers would have been overjoyed. However, there was a precedent for five or six members of the cathar army to divide a group of cattle and sheep, and the soldiers were unconsciously dissatisfied.
