Chapter 299: Rewards and Punishments for Merit

But right now, it's freezing cold, and the surrounding area is full of sand. The few places in the Green State will also be controlled by the cathars. Even if Egnazi escapes, it will be uncomfortable on the road.

Just to exterminate the remnants of the army as soon as possible and establish the dominance of the cathars in the land of Maru. The cathars also had no energy to search for the whereabouts of Egnazi and the others. Therefore, his escape is the biggest regret of this battle of Malu.

But compared to the entire battlefield, the cathars still performed remarkably. Because of the destruction of the main army of Malu, it took less than three hours. Of all the siege battles that the cathars have experienced, they are considered fast.

In particular, the city of Malu was the former seat of Khorasan Province. The entire eastern province of the Abbasid Empire was also guided by the orders of the city of Maru. Although it has declined, the majestic city walls still stand on the horizon.

During the glory days of the Abbasid Empire, most of the defensive offensives left behind were also well preserved. If it is filled with human lives, it will be difficult to overcome without three months.

Therefore, this battle can be regarded as a great victory for the cathars.

At this moment, Li Chengji rode on horseback and slowly walked towards Malu City.

The corpses of the enemy, the dying horses, and the broken swords were all strewn across the red-stained snow. And because of the ice, they were frozen forever as if time had stood still.

"Whew, huh, huh", the cold wind blew. Snowflakes as light as a feather were blown up and sprinkled on them at will.

Even though he is used to seeing death, Li Chengji still can't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

But not for these dead enemies, but for all the cathars. Because if you kill a thousand, you will lose eight hundred. The dead enemy had the blood of the cathar soldiers on their hands.

But this is war!

Since ancient times, the rise of every empire has been accompanied by the loss of countless lives.

Lee Seung-ji is a superior! What can be done is to try to go higher and farther with the cathars. So that the blood of the soldiers was not shed in vain.

Thus his desolation lasted only a short time.

Looking straight ahead, on the handsome face, the ruthlessness unique to the superior was restored.

Behind him, tens of thousands of cathars marched in unison and approached Malu City.

"Da da da···", crisp sound, full of rhythm. It seemed that the whole ground trembled with their steps.

Although the battlefield has not been cleaned up, the bodies of the cathars have been placed in a selected location. This is a long-standing rule of the Guardians! Let every soldier who dies in battle not end up in the wilderness of corpses.

So stepping on the corpses of the enemy, their steps were unusually steady and powerful.

"Is this the Cathar?" , Hashmian, a grain merchant from Malu City, stood outside the city gate and said in a slightly shocked tone. He had been 'kindly invited' by the Protectors to welcome the Governor of Khorasan into the city.

"It is rumored that they are invincible, and it seems that what they say is true!" , Uluhai Maha, the imam of another city of Maru, spoke up.

When Hashmian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful. For this man was a staunch defender! Before the cathars defeated Egnazi, they also encouraged the cultists to join the war in the city. But as soon as the cathars entered the city, they announced that they had converted to Puritanism.

Now he has become a Puritan imam. And at the invitation of the cathars, he went out of the city to welcome the army into the city.

Looking around, there are all the characters with heads and faces in Malu City. Some of them were hostile to the Protectors and killed the Puritans. Some also secretly contacted the cathars and traded them. But at this moment, they are surprisingly consistent in their likes and dislikes of cathars.

For all those who did not do well to the cathars were killed by the cathars an hour ago. The Guardians, in particular, were stripped naked by the cathars and hung from the city walls. The dead were also beheaded and made into a Kyoto view.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart.

After all, it was the first time for him to see so many human heads, such a terrifying sight. I can't help but have a deep fear of the new owner of this Malu city.

At this time, Li Chengji had already ridden a tall horse and came to them.

"Greetings to the Governor!" , Abrajiang stepped forward and took the lead in giving a one-knee military salute. All the people behind him also saluted. It's just that the movements are relatively rusty and look a little sparse.

"Hmmm! What's going on inside the city? Li Chengji did not dismount and overlooked the Abra River.

"The recalcitrant have been punished, and they are all under control!" , Abrajiang said in a deep voice.

When Li Chengji heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at Li Dali behind him.

Seeing that he immediately dismounted, he walked quickly to a group of Maru magnates who knelt down to greet him. Among these people, there are people who are highly respected in religion and big businessmen in business. There are also officials who were under the command of Egnaqi before, and acted according to orders.

"Uluhei Maha, Alin Shehei, Ali Bura······," Li Dali took out a list from his bosom and read it aloud.

But all those who were pointed out turned white.

Then Li Dali asked them all to stand up, which made these people's hearts tense even more.

Hashmian was also on the list of people who were called, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart. But seeing Li Dali staring at them, he didn't dare not stand up. secretly comforted himself, and slowly stood up with his legs shaking.

There are those who are timid and afraid, and they are directly frightened and fainted. But Li Dali did not let them go, but ordered the Guardian Army to drag them out directly.

came to Li Chengji again and bowed down and gave a military salute. With a solemn expression, he handed the list to Li Chengji.

After spreading it out and looking at it, Li Chengji jumped off his horse and came to Hashmian and them.

"Ali Bura!" , Li Chengji said in a deep voice.

This man, Hashmian, was known as the 'vizier' under the Egnazi. In Da Liao, it is equivalent to the Zhongshu Order. Egnazi was able to gain a foothold in Malu, and this Ali Bura made a lot of efforts.

In the past, for the sake of his family's livelihood, he also gave him some generous gifts. It was only later that Ali Bura was disgusted and abandoned by Egnaqi for persuading him to have less murderous thoughts.

In order to avoid suspicion, he also cut off contact with Ali Bura.

Now Ali Bura is wearing a somewhat gray robe, and his face is not as spirited as before. But when the name was read, there was no panic or fear. It's just that his face is indifferent, and he doesn't seem to care. This made Hashmian feel a little respectful.

"I heard that you are quite strategic, I wonder if you can drive it for me?" , Li Chengji looked at Ali Bu Spicy with a torch in his eyes and asked out loud.

While passing through Khorasan, he heard that there was a very capable vizier under the governor of Maru. Honest and decisive. Because of the grace of knowing the encounter, he followed the father of Egnazi. As a result, Malu has always maintained a transcendent position in the repeated battles between the Khorezm people and the Gur people.

The rule of the Egnazi family in Malu has also continued to this day.
