Chapter 390: Surrender Without a Fight
So under the leadership of Hetosabe, Tatarav led the caravan and slowly came to the fort. It is a stone building with three floors in height. The interior is separated by wooden boards and divided into private rooms. The soldiers stationed there were not in armor, but in the attire of the tribesmen.
There are even some who are still dressed in animal skins.
Tatarav secretly counted the number of troops in the fort, but it was only three hundred. But it was they who were stuck at the pass, making it impossible for the cathars to move.
"I haven't seen you in years, brother Tatarav, but I'm getting old!" Hetoshabel looked at the folds on Tataraf's face and spoke.
"Hehe... The Hetosabel brothers are still so outspoken. If you're out and about, you can't get old! Tatarav said, and asked the caravan to bring the wine to the jar.
Hetoshabel also had the food prepared, and had to talk to Tatarav about it. Although this place in Usburg is very remote. But in the surrounding mountains and forests, there is countless food. There is also a lot of seafood in the lake.
So when it is served, the dishes are also full.
Tatarav first toasted a glass and said, "This is the wine of the Khorasan realm, called burning knives. Fierce sex is the wine of men. ”。
Hetosha looked at it and poured a glass.
"Tut-tut... Not bad! Hetosha blinked and praised: "I have heard that the wine of Khorasan is rare for a long time!" Today's product is really good. ”。
Tatarav took out another box of Chinese cigarettes, pulled out one and said, "Have you smoked this?" If you have nothing to do, you can live happily as if you have gone to heaven. ”。
"This--this is Hua Yan, right? I got some from a merchant in Khorasan last year. It's just that it's all loose tobacco! ”。
"That's not as good as this cigarette! In Khorasan, this thing is very expensive! ”。 With that, he pulled out another box of matches. Pull out one, and a dazzling spark appears with a thud.
"Hahaha... Brother Tataraf, you have got a lot of good things from Khorasan! Hetoshabel leaned over the cigarette and was instantly ignited by a spark. Take another puff and puff out the smoke rings while talking comfortably.
Tatarav smiled and talked about his experience. Although he mentioned being captured by Da Liao, he did not say that he had joined the Apolocast. It is only said that under the rule of Khorasan, how clear the rule of officials was, and how rich the people were.
The soldiers who listened on the side were a little red-eyed and warm-hearted.
Hetosabel couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said suspiciously: "But when the heretics come, they will destroy our true god and force us to convert to a sect." What's even more infuriating is that they want to take away my people. ”。
Tatarav immediately sneered and replied, "Brother Hetoshabel, you didn't go to Khorasan. Others only build a workshop, and they have a lot of money. Splurge as much as you want. And with the riches of Khorasan, you can live in a palace studded with gold. Bathe with white flowers' milk and fill a pool.
You can also take a few rooms of Byzantine female slaves and let them serve all day. There is also white salt that is as white as snow and too cheap to say.
When the time comes, you can drink tea from the East and put on clothes made of silk that is as delicate as a woman's belly.
This is much better than the realm of your poor ravine.
As for your people, they can't do the work of serving, right? And in Khorasan, there are many people who can work like this. Like pinching your arms and beating your legs, serving tea and pouring water. They don't need you to speak, they serve you like a sultan.
In the case of denominations, Puritanism is the true doctrine of the true God. The other sects are all made up by others. In order for believers who have fallen into a lost way to receive the teachings of the true God and enter heaven. The king of Khorasan would use such harsh measures to prohibit other sects from deceiving believers. ”。
Seeing Hetosha's thoughtful expression, Tatarav continued: "You must have heard of it, right? Puritans have been restored to their status as free men. And they also have their own cattle, sheep and land, and they no longer have to be fed and clothed.
Think about your tribe again! If one day they are defeated by another tribe, all the tribes have to be slaves to others.
It is inconceivable that Allah would allow such evil things. ”。
In fact, no Muslim believer is allowed to be sold into slavery. But with the decline of the Abbasid Empire and the instability of the caliphate, these Islamic prohibitions have become a dead letter.
Especially in a deserted place like the Gur Mountains. A lot of Islamic law has become air. The matter of buying and selling people into slavery has become rampant.
Hetoshabel was not a fool, and when he heard this, he already suspected Tataraf's identity. He said in a slightly cold voice: "Brother Tataraf, aren't you a lobbyist in Khorasan?" ”。
When you hear that Hetosha has called the pagans Khorasan in his name, he knows that there is something to be said about it. He was overjoyed, and said very sincerely: "I don't hide it! I am now a commander of the cathars. This time I came to see the love of an acquaintance in the past, and to give you a great fortune. ”。
"You want me to surrender without a fight?" , Hetosha don't have a cold face, I can't see what I'm thinking in my heart.
"It's not that you surrender without a fight, but that you get lost. Do you know that in this attack on the land of Gul, the king used 100,000 elite soldiers. Do you think you can stop it with your hundreds of men? Tataraf asked confidently.
Seeing that Hetosha did not speak, Tataraf continued: "Now the land of Gur is being fought one after another, and the people are not living. Khorasan mobilized a large army, and the defeat was decided. If you don't turn on the Protector now, how long will you wait?
What's more, with your bravery, if you join the Guardian Army, you can still have a good future. Speaking of this, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Our captain Wanshu said." As long as you are obedient, you will allow your men to form an army of their own. and then perform well on the battlefield, the position of the commander of the thousand is simply captured. ”。
Although the Shah Department is located in the Gur Mountains, it is relatively remote. But I still know a little about the news of Khorasan. Especially when the county of Yeli is so close. Therefore, Hetoshabel also knew that the commander of the thousand was a military position with a high status in Khorasan.
Originally, he was also worried that after returning to Khorasan, he would lose his clan and lose his rights. But now listening to Tataraf's conditions, doubts have been dispelled.
But this is a big deal, so he still said cautiously: "I don't know what your captain said, can it be counted?" ”。
Knowing that this was almost done, Tataraf smiled and said, "In this attack on Khorasan, our king has asked the commander to act cheaply. ”。
Hearing this, Hetosha was relieved. Just before the sun went down that day, the opening was opened and the cathars were allowed to enter.
After receiving the military position of the head of a hundred households from Kalwang, he also took the initiative to ask for help and deceive the gates of Fislogu.
