The time has entered winter, and the northern prairie is cold and snowy. But in the fertile land of the crescent, in Baghdad, the weather here is still like spring and autumn.

The sky is high and cool, the cold and warm are suitable, such as the Central Plains, this climate is simply a good time for the nobles to play and play.

Muktafi stood high above the Great Tianfang Temple, and the Seljuks who had retreated had ruined the Golden Gate Palace, and if they wanted to move back in, they must have a good rest.

If so, their family entered the Great Tianfang Temple.

The Seljuks will destroy the Golden Gate Palace, but they will never have the slightest disrespect for the Great Tianfang Temple.

"The world is really full of accidents and surprises!"

The battle under Baghdad lasted for a month, and just when Muktafi felt that the war was far from over, the landing of the Luqi army at Sivat caught Abdul Majid by surprise, and the Seljuk army had no choice but to retreat to the north.

Lu Qi's army did not continue to advance towards Baghdad, and the navy and army stayed at the mouth of the Tianfang River. The Chinese did show a high enough goodwill to make Muktafi, who had experienced a previous war and was greatly injured, breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

With his current strength, after the fierce battle with the Seljuk army, he was already at the end of his crossbow, and he was not able to withstand a blow from Lu Qi's army.

"It's a really tough situation."

The goodwill of the Chinese is not a reason for his own weakness, is it?

"Since his majesty succeeded to the throne, he has been working hard for the country, trying his best to support the country, recuperating with the people, neither building much nor extravagant. Nur al-Din stood up solemnly, "Your Majesty is concerned with the prosperity and decline of our country, and you must not be discouraged to the point of delaying the country's plan!" ”

Muktafi's impossible plan has been largely successful, and it will depend on the quality of the Chinese. They are now at the mouth of the river with their troops, and this is the greatest goodwill unleashed against Baghdad. In other words, Muktafi's plan to revive the Abbasids was entirely achievable.

- Of course, it is impossible to restore the power and territory of the dynasty in its heyday, but as long as it maintains an independent posture, it is completely achievable.

The impossible plan is now being realized. This is the protection of the true God! It's a miracle!

At this time, Muktafi must not be discouraged.

Because according to Muqtafi's 'ambition', it is only the first step that he has paid lip service to restoring the glory of the Abbasids.

Muktafi smiled bitterly, "It's not what it used to be, it's not what it used to be!" "With the evil dragon of the Chinese in the heavenly world, the glory of the Abbass can never be restored.

"But the plains of Mesopotamia must be in our hands."

Muktafi, who had no idea about Lu Qian's plans, said so.

"My esteemed caliph, the victory before you is only one of the rewards that the true God has given you, and I congratulate you on the blessings that will continue to come from now on. God will not treat a person like you, who is admired and loved by the world. Under the care and reward of the true God, your subjects will surely respect and love you with great respect and love, you are the pillar of all the heavenly people, and the present victory is undoubtedly a blessing for Your Majesty and your subjects, and all of them will be grateful. Praise the true God, so that the true God may once again reward His Majesty and reward His subjects as well.

Your Majesty must know that in this world, you will not be able to do anything other than do what the true God has commanded. The true God rewards slaves and maidservants according to his own standards, so that although he created human beings, some people receive inexhaustible wealth throughout their lives; Some people have to run around to survive; Some people are destined to be monarchs, kings, and enjoy happiness in this world; Others can only hope for the afterlife.

Your Majesty has received the blessing and blessing of the true God, which means that Your Majesty's wish has been approved by the true God, and I think there will be even greater victories and good news in the future. You will become a great caliph and make your name resounding forever in the world. ”

Nur al-Din is not to be regarded as a military general, but this kind of sycophant words are still very useful.

"I am really touched by the fact that you can say that. You are right, now that the country is in a state of decadence and the situation is dangerous, the dynasty has really reached a situation where its fate hangs by a thread. But with the blessing of the true God, as long as I am united in my heart and in the hearts of the people, then there will be a way to restore the majesty of my Abbasid dynasty. ”

Muktafi was not a master who would give up easily. Otherwise, before the Seljuk army reached Baghdad, he was already on his knees.

Shicai is just a momentary emotion.

Looking back at Nur al-Din now, I can't help but think of Hakim in my mind, as a force that has existed for hundreds of years, how can there be no mountains in it? Even if it's dying.

However, the fact that "the temple is small and the demon is windy, and the pond is shallow and the king is eight" has never been uncommon in history. Zhao Song is a living example, and Khitan is also a living example.

"Song Qing is coming. The Chinese had already killed Hamadan, and the Seljuk resistance was valiant, but they were defeated again and again. They will not sit idly by and watch our alliance with the Chinese. "Although this is only an alliance on the surface.

"They will do everything they can to sabotage this negotiation. Whether it's to incite public opinion or send assassins to assassinate them. ”

"I'm not worried about Song Qing's safety, nor am I worried about the ministers of the court. I am only worried about the people, and the people must remain stable. What matters more is which elders. ”

Good words can't persuade damned ghosts. Stupid stupid people can't be stopped by words. Those fellows who had bowed their heads before the Seljuks now saw that Muktafi was the ultimate winner, and they came to him to flatter him. Do you really think that his ears are so soft?

Not moving them at the moment is just a stopgap measure. When he really becomes the king of Baghdad, and then see what happens to those traitors?

Therefore, he was not sure if there were still Seljuk people inside.

Don't think too stupidly of your enemies, there are clever and discerning people among those traitors.

"Therefore, it is imperative to control Baghdad." After a moment of silence, Muktafi waved his hand resolutely, "Song Qing has the hope of the Abbasids being revived, and it must not be ignored. We cannot afford this failure, let alone the anger of the Chinese. ”

"Your Majesty is right, and the minister thinks the same." Nur al-Din agreed with him, "So, please take charge of the security of Baghdad personally, and I believe that I will be able to keep Baghdad stable and stable." ”

"Well, my dear Nur al-Din, you have always been meticulous and thoughtful, and I am much more relieved to have you in charge. You have to be serious, and as long as you ensure the peace of Baghdad, that's the greatest credit. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely peninsula, and will never let Xiaoxiao take advantage of the gap to cause chaos." Nur al-Din gave reassurances. "And I heard from Kaim that the Excellency had a very good character. With the attitude he had previously shown, the negotiations were ......"

Both Nur al-Din and Muqtafi have always had confidence in the sincerity that Song Qing brought to Baghdad. How could they have chosen to send charcoal in the snow when they were in the most difficult time, and now that Baghdad has passed the dangerous period?
