Kaim, who came to Humos with a heavy heart, never expected that what he was waiting for was not the Chinese taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, but sending charcoal in the snow, the warmth of spring like comrades.

It was so surprising to him, and it moved him too much.

In an instant, there was even a ridiculous feeling that "Chinese are good people".

Yes, ridiculous, how ridiculous it feels.

The simple individuals in the world have their own good people, but in the country and civilization, can there still be simple good people? How out of tune a person must be for someone who has such an out of tune in his head.

Thankfully, Kaim soon came to his senses. The Chinese on the opposite side is a hungry wolf of this person, but not a good person.

"In China, there is a saying that we should focus on the overall situation. And what is the big picture? The big picture is the whole situation and the whole situation and the long-term benefits that come with it. ”

"We are envoys, as the pros and cons of our family and country, how can we lack the awareness of the overall situation in our heads?

Grasp the present and look into the future, so as not to be distracted by the complexity of the situation, not to be tempted by small local victories and small losses, not to be entangled in the loss of immediate small profits, to jump out of the limitations of one thing at a time, one place and one self, and correctly handle the relationship between local and overall interests, individuals and the whole, and the current and long-term interests.

This can be a true envoy. ”

Song Qing made it clear that he was telling Kaim, why didn't he fall into the ground? That is, to have a long-term intention, and not to know how to be bound by the present.

This gives Kaim the same freshness as if he had discovered a new continent.

Because for Baghdad, such a 'luxury' investment future is insulated from them. They simply don't have the capital to do that!

Thinking of this, Kaim shook his head and smiled. Got it. The reason the Chinese can put their posture so high is because they have enough capital to squander. Even if the Baghdad plot fails, the losses will be insignificant.

Anyone who trades a hairy hair for a good reputation, a high profile, and a huge favor will be considered. But what if you trade your own life for these?

"I see, thank you for your magnanimity." Kayim didn't think about it anymore, he had already figured out what Song Qing meant, he didn't want to stay in Homos for a quarter of an hour.

After a few more polite words, Song Qing politely invited Kaim out on the grounds that he still had business to do, and the latter refused to stay overnight and led people directly to the port to take a boat to Sohar.

Today's meeting is truly unexpectedly wonderful, and many people in poor Baghdad are still worried. Qa'im was now eager to step back to Baghdad so that the caliph could be reassured. It also reassured the noble elders who were involved in the matter.

On the same day, in the city of Baghdad, thousands of miles away from Homos, there was a rare rainy weather.

The sky was overcast, the clouds were thick, the air was damp, and it was drizzling with raindrops mixed with cold wind, and it felt like a sudden change of world.

Many people walked forward with their heads bowed, shrunk and wrapped in their clothes, even the guards in the Caliphate's palace were no exception, and under the gloomy sky, even the palace walls seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray, which made people feel depressed.

This feeling was especially strong in Muktafi's brother-in-law, Hakim, who was wearing a traditional white robe, and his face was very blue and ugly.

The mood is extremely depressed, but not because of the sudden cold.

The country is in a difficult situation, how can you not be worried as a hardcore confidant of the caliphate?

But he was able to hold on, and even if he was full of worries, he still maintained his proper demeanor in front of the guards and slaves.

"Your Majesty, may the Almighty God perpetuate your reign and power!"

Hearing Hakim's sonorous shout, Muktafi had a wry smile on his face. This is one of the few hard-liners in Baghdad, although Muqtafi knows that the reason why Hakim is so tough is also because he is inseparable from himself.

After the Seljuks regained control of Baghdad, he was the mastermind, and he must have died of illness, and the Hakim clan also died without life.

At such a time, how could Hakim sit and wait for death?

It's like he's secretly preparing for it. His life is his own, and no one will regard death as his home.

"I called you here today to tell you a piece of news. Selim has already sent news from Sumor that the Seljuks are coming. ”

When the Seljuks settled down to investigate, many clues could not be hidden.

"What is Abdul Majid going to do?"

The latter was the governor of Sanjar who remained in the Fertile Crescent and was an absolute loyal dog of Sanjar.

"He's already raising troops. You should know his notoriety, and all those who are hostile to Sanjar will be torn to pieces by him. Do you think he will be gentle with us? ”

Hakim's face turned red, "My Majesty, we can't stand still, we must resist!" ”

"Of course, we're certainly not going to sit still. I have sent Nur al-Din to Shelah in the south, and you are going to Wasit in the east. "This is where the caliphate's influence can still be echoed by some people.

"The forces of the city must also be mobilized." Although Baghdad is not as good as it was at its peak, it still has three and a half million people.

"Your Majesty, the power in the city does not belong entirely to us. The city of Baghdad, in particular, is so big. "At its peak, Baghdad, with a population of one million people inside and outside, was the largest city in the world and the most populous city in the world except for Chang'an, Luoyang, and Tokyo in the East.

From the time the city was founded, Baghdad has been growing in size. The huge size of the city caused great trouble in the distribution of troops among the defenders. The attacker, however, can concentrate his forces and choose to storm certain areas. It is also possible to dispatch several troops to carry out a deceptive feint. Once the walls of the city are lost, reinforcements from the city will need to arrive from far away.

Even if the defenders resist stubbornly, the attackers can still besiege the big cities and plunge them into food shortages. The city of Baghdad, which has passed its peak, has 3.5 million inhabitants, and excluding the peasants outside the city, there are not much worse than 200,000 inhabitants in the city, and it is very easy to be crushed by hunger.

"The Seljuks are barbaric and vulgar, and although they have risen for less than a hundred years, they are already exhausted. Recently, because of the war, the local money and grain have been looted on a large scale, and the methods have been extremely rude, which has caused many complaints among the people, and the people have complained, and there have been many restlessness in the fertile land of the Crescent......"

"And they are tigers and wolves, the army went straight to Baghdad to kill, and I don't know how many people will suffer along the way......"

"If Your Majesty raises his arms and shouts, there will be countless heavenly warriors who will respond!" Hakim's words were sonorous.

Muktafi had a smile on his face, yes, Hakim was right.
