Unlike the scattered light snow in Baghdad, the Hui has been hit by three consecutive blizzards since the beginning of winter, and since December, the heavy snowfall that is several feet thick has flooded the entire grassland, and millions of cattle and sheep have died, which has caused the already riddled Hui to suffer a heavy blow again, and in January of the seventh year of the Great Reign, the vast Mobei grassland has become a snow-capped world.

The city was also covered in heavy snow, and the city, which was smaller than the county seat of the Central Plains, was crowded with herdsmen who had come from all over the country to escape the snowstorm, and tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep almost crowded the small city.

Accompanied by his Xiangguo Abthrol, the Khan of the Eastern Hui Dynasty, Luo Geling, was visiting the affected people in tents outside the city, and even saw a few families of the victims, the situation of these families was similar, most of the livestock froze to death, and the only few remaining ewes became the last hope of the whole family, the food was long gone, the valuable property had been sold and exchanged for valuable forage, and the people relied on a little bean cake every day to satisfy their hunger and survive the long winter.

The tragic situation of the victims made Yao Luo Ge Ling a little unbearable, he turned over and returned to the city, along the way his face was gloomy and speechless, although Yao Luo Ge Ling is of Han blood, but he has lived in Mobei since he was a child, he has long regarded Mobei as his homeland, he has witnessed the process of returning to the weak gradually from strong to weak in the past ten years, that is, the southern invasion of the sixteenth year of Qingzhi, Han Er Bali was hit by Zhang Huan's devastating blow, just from that time, Hui Hui continued to misjudge the situation, and Tubo fought for the defeat of Anxi, and the Tang Dynasty fought for the defeat of the North Court, The internal strife for the throne of Khan has fallen into the abyss again and again, but these are all appearances, and the fundamental reason is the re-emergence of the Tang Dynasty. Throughout history, if the Central Plains is weak, the desert will be strong, and if the Central Plains is prosperous, the desert will decline, and the iron law of the millennium has been repeated again and again.

Yao Luo Ge Ling looked at the snowy grassland, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Abthrol, who was next to him, saw that the khan was preoccupied, so he persuaded him in a low voice: "The khan doesn't have to worry, although our conditions here are difficult, at least there is assistance from the Tang Dynasty." The materials and food sent by Datang are estimated to arrive in the next few days, but think about Han Erbali. With no foreign aid, no borders blocked, and 100,000 troops to be raised, plus the drunken dreams and deaths of Jiegangas, needless to say, I can guess the miserable situation there. If they don't find a way to save themselves, in less than two years, their side will be destroyed on its own. ”

Yao Luo Ge Ling nodded, and then turned back to Abthrol and said: "The climate has been getting colder and colder in the past few years, and it has been a snowstorm for three consecutive years, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive next year, I think we have to find a way back!" ”

Abthrol understood what the Khan meant, and the so-called back road was nothing more than moving south to join the Tang Dynasty. But then it was the last way to go. It was still too early to tell, and he was now worried about whether Jiegan Garth would send troops to attack them after the spring began. That's the urgency of the day, think of this. He hurriedly said, "Khan, I'm worried that the army from the west will come to attack us, should we prepare earlier?" For example, use the free time in winter to organize young people to practice. ”

Yao Luo Geling suddenly looked into the distance and smiled, "Maybe you're right, we have the conditions to train now." ”

After saying this, he urged his horse to rush south, and heard him shout from a distance, "Go and tell everyone to go out of the city to carry things, our savior is coming." ”

Abthrol also saw it, a long black line appeared on the snowfield in the distance, it was the arrival of Datang's supplies, Abthrol shouted excitedly, turned around and ran towards the city.

On the vast snowfield, a transport team composed of thousands of carriages, loaded with food and military supplies, after nearly a month's trek, finally arrived at the capital city of Kedun in the east, the city of Kedun was boiling, tens of thousands of people ran out of the city, and ran to the three-mile convoy.

As expected by the Donghui people, the sudden snowstorm caused heavy pressure on Han Erbali, hundreds of thousands of herdsmen who fled from all over the country gathered around the capital, and the tents were densely packed, and there was no edge in sight, and the herdsmen living in the tents had no food, no milk tea, no salt, and relied on a little dried meat saved in autumn to survive the winter. But the prime minister Jiang Mu Heda replied that they were disappointed, they did not have any assistance, and there was not much military food left in the city, which was military food and would not be given to anyone, and the herdsmen could only survive the winter on their own.

Unlike the extreme disappointment of the herdsmen, the nobles and officials of the Hui were full of dissatisfaction and complaints about the Jiegan family, and it was he who was bewitched by the Sogdians and Manichaeism and severed relations with the Tang Dynasty, which led to today's evil consequences, the Great Cannibals to whom he had taken refuge did not send any material aid, and not only that, but even a few large Sogdian merchants could not transport supplies from the West, and the Hui people, who were extremely dependent on the outside world, suddenly fell into abject poverty.

Discontent spread over Han Erbali, and the Uighur nobles and officials began to join each other to seek solutions, while Manichaean and Sogdian merchants and some military generals were also deliberating on countermeasures, and gradually they formed two opposing groups, and in the middle of this group, the Uighur Khan Jiegangas, who was still living in a drunken dream, seemed to be ignorant of the crisis of the Uighurs, or did not care at all.

At noon, the worried Sulman found the prime minister Jiang Mu Hedagan, if you must find a person who is most disappointed in Jiegangas, then this person is undoubtedly Sulman, it is he who single-handedly planned Jiegangas to replace the loyal Khan, I thought that he would go south to the north court as promised, or attack the Central Plains, but the final result made Sulman depressed, he has been on the throne for almost a year, until today, he only has women and wine in his life, and it is also a whim to send troops to deal with the Tang army that intercepts supplies, After one failure, he stopped asking. Sulman gnashed his teeth at him with his decadence and debauchery, and he ruined his future, and now the Sogdian caravans could pass through the Don blockade under the escort of the army, but that's it. There is still no material to Han'er Bali, this is because Samarkand, Bukhara and other places have strictly prohibited the westward transportation of materials, that is, Dashi no longer allows food and materials to be transported to Hui, although Surman does not know what happened in Baghdad, but he believes that this is Baghdad's inaction warning to Hui, and it is also a serious dissatisfaction with him. This dissatisfaction made him anxious and frightened, and he knew that if he did not do anything more, he would be punished with the harshest punishment in Baghdad.

Sulman waited for a long time in front of Jiang Mu Hedagan's mansion. He was only introduced into the mansion by a servant, and he knew that Jiang Mu He Dagan was extremely dissatisfied with him. But there was no way to do it, and in order to realize his plan, he could only whisper and seek the support of the prime minister.

Jiang Mu Hedagan was about 50 years old, and had served as the deputy minister during the time of Dengli Khan, and had a wealth of political experience. Because of his close relationship with Dengli Khan, after Dengli Khan was killed, he was also removed from all positions, living at home, after Jiegan Garth came to power for a while could not find a suitable prime minister, he invited him out of the mountain again to serve as the prime minister of the Hui land, in fact, Jiegan Gas did not care about political affairs, and all government affairs in Hui were dictatorial by Jiang Mu Heda Gan.

Knowing that Sulman asked to see him, Jiang Muheda was really a little surprised. Although he hated Sulman deeply for severing diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty. But he met with the man anyway, and he wanted to know. At the juncture when the Hui were facing a crisis, what idea did this Persian want to fight?

"Sulman to see the Prime Minister." Sulman was a reversal of his arrogance. Respectfully saluted Jiang Mu Hedagan.

"National teacher, please don't be polite, just be casual when you come to me." Jiang Mu Hedagan's tone was very light, he waved his hand, invited Sulman to sit down, and then ordered someone to pour another cup of tea.

In Han Er Bali, tea is already an extremely precious thing, it is said that one or two tea leaves can be exchanged for one or two gold on the black market, despite this, there is still a price, Datang has listed tea as one of the three forbidden goods for Hui, grain, pig iron, tea, if you dare to smuggle tea to Huifu, the matter will be immediately beheaded, and the whole family will also be exiled to Lingnan Tuntian, so there is no shadow of tea on the market, only a few powerful families still have a little inventory, Jiang Mu He Dagan took out tea to entertain, This shows that he attaches great importance to Surmandi's visit.

Sulman felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he saw his anxiety about solving the predicament of Hui from behind Jiang Mu Heda's dry and flat tone, he took a sip of tea from his teacup, and said slowly: "I came this time to discuss with the prime minister how to solve the dilemma of our Hui Hui, and now there are many gossip rumors that our Hui has split into two factions, I think this is by no means the real situation, in the predicament, everyone should be sincerely united, in order to finally overcome the difficulties we encountered." ”

Jiang Mu Heda listened to the other party's words, and he smiled faintly and said quietly: "What does the national teacher think is the best thing for us right now?" ”

"Foreign aid!" Sullman resolutely said what was in his heart, "Yes, we must get foreign aid to tide over the difficulties, whether it is the aid of the Great Food Land or the assistance of the Tang Dynasty, it is important that we must survive." ”

Jiang Mu Heda laughed dryly, "Then does the national teacher think that it is more likely to get the aid of the Great Food or the possibility of getting the aid of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Suerman sighed and said helplessly: "Actually, I am not opposed to getting assistance from Datang, but now it is impossible, if Yao Luo Ge Ling is still in Han Erbali, it may still be possible, but Yao Luo Ge Ling has already gone east, then Datang's materials will not be given to us anymore, so we can only get a little hope from Da Shi." ”

"Big food?" Jiang Mu Heda shook his head and said disdainfully: "Since Da Shi claims to be our ally and brother, then he should treat us like a brother, but to this day, they haven't even sent a grain of rice or a tea tael, so how can I trust them." ”

"Does the Prime Minister know what this is?" Sulman slowly led Jiang Mu Hedagan's train of thought to the purpose of his visit today, "Has the prime minister forgotten what Ye Haya said?" ”

"Is the national teacher saying that we are not diligent enough?"

"That's why." Sulman moved his body forward and said in a low voice: "Actually, the Great Cannibals don't necessarily have us to attack the Tang Dynasty, as long as we make a gesture, such as destroying the Hangers supported by the Tang Dynasty, it is enough for the Great Cannibals to see our martial spirit, and food will definitely be sent in a steady stream." But the root lies in our Khan, who is too addicted to wine. ”

At this point, Sulman stopped, and he glanced at Jiang Muhe Dagan quickly, and when he saw that he was silent and silent, he knew that he was already interested in his words. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I made a special trip to visit the prime minister today, just to discuss with the prime minister whether it is necessary for us to re-establish the Khan." ”

"Re-establish the Khan?" Jiang Mu Heda raised his head sharply and looked at the other party, his eyes slowly narrowing, and he made eye contact with Suerman. Both of them laughed at the same time.

"He's really trying to kill me?" Jiegan Gasi turned around and looked at Jiang Mu He Dagan with sharp eyes. He rebelled against the normal state of decadence and was aggressive, which filled the palace of the Hui King with a murderous atmosphere.

Jiang Mu He Dagan replied affirmatively: "That's the case, he came to see me at noon and talked a lot. In the end, he asked to conspire with me to re-establish a new khan. ”

"Did he say that he supported you as the new Khan?" Jiegan Gath said coldly.

He said so, but the minister wanted to stabilize him, so that he would not jump off the wall in a hurry, so he perfunctory a few words to him, the minister was loyal to the Khan, and it was visible every day, how could he betray the Khan? Jie Gan Gas did not say a word. His gaze darkened. Flies don't bite the eggs that aren't sewn, if he Jiang Mu Heda really doesn't have a problem at all. How dare Sulman come to him? And it was noon when Sulman looked for him, but it was already evening. What was he thinking about after such a long time in between? Needless to say, he was also thinking about the possibility of returning to the Khan Land, but he didn't dare to make a mistake because he didn't have military power in his hands.

After a while, Jiegan Gath asked lightly, "What else did he say?" ”

Jiang Mu Hedagan was very nervous in his heart, he licked his dry lips, hesitated for a moment, and said: "He said that the top priority for us to return to the United States is to eradicate the Quegasi people, and the other thing is to destroy the medicine Luo Geling in time, so as not to be supported and strengthened by the Tang Dynasty and become the root of the bane." ”

Destroying the medicine Luo Ge Ling was actually Jiang Mu He Dagan's own intention, he said it through Sulman's meaning, Jiegan Garth did not answer him immediately, the side hall was silent, Jie Gan Gar pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "The people of the Gang are fierce and timid, and they can't do big things, but they don't need to pay attention to it for the time being, but the medicine Luo Ge Ling is indeed a big bane, and it must be destroyed as soon as possible, and I will send troops to conquer them after the beginning of spring, so you don't have to ask about this matter." ”

Speaking of this, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said softly to Jiang Mu Heda: "You can focus on internal affairs and appease the fleeing herdsmen!" ”

Jiang Mu Hedagan's heart finally let go, and the Khan's gentle attitude towards him moved his heart, he kowtowed respectfully, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is willing to do his best for the Khan, and then die." ”

Jiegan Gasi waited for Jiang Mu He Dagan to leave, the gentle smile on his face suddenly disappeared, he turned around and hurriedly guarded: "Order the right killing general to come to see me immediately." ”

In a moment, Bandagai, the general of the Hui Right Killing, walked into the palace quickly, and he bowed and saluted, "See the Khan." ”

With murderous intent in his eyes, he ordered sharply: "Immediately mobilize your army and give me the siege of Surman's mansion, including Surman, and kill all those in his mansion, leaving no one alive, and if you find any list, report it to me immediately." ”

"Obey!" Bandagai turned around and left, and Jiegan Gasi suddenly stopped him again, he pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Also, Jiang Mu Hedagan also killed me as well." ”

The small guest hall in Surman's mansion was steaming and noisy, and more than fifty like-minded people gathered together with him, including high-ranking Manichaean priests, Sogdian merchants, Uighur nobles and seven or eight Uighur generals in military uniforms, Jiang Mu He Dagan said that he was ill in the future, and only sent his nephew to attend the meeting on his behalf, which made Su Erman very unhappy and secretly scolded him for being slippery, but Su Er also knew that before he was clearly able to ascend the throne, Jiang Mu He Dagan would not easily show his head, but once the overall situation was decided, Jiang Mu Heda Gan will be more active than anyone else to rush to the front, just like Jiegan Gasi a year ago.

When he saw that the people had basically arrived, he coughed heavily, and the room suddenly fell silent, and Sulman cleared his throat and said straight to the point: "Everyone, let's make a long story short, only talk about important matters, this time the situation of the re-establishment of the Khan is urgent, it can't be delayed for a long time, and the time is set for the day after tomorrow." ”

As soon as his words fell, the room was like a hornet's nest, boom! The ground exploded, the day after tomorrow! How is it possible, nothing is organized, who does what? What to do first? None of the arrangements have been arranged, and it will start the day after tomorrow, isn't this a troublemaker? Of course, Suerman knew everyone's doubts, but he was not worried, it was not himself who really came forward this time, but Jiang Mu He Dagan, as long as he made the atmosphere up, Jiang Mu He Dagan would naturally continue to do it, as for what to do, he already had a preliminary plan, and there was still a day tomorrow! There is plenty of time to arrange calmly.

"I called you here tonight to get to the bottom first, this time to re-establish the Khan, we have few soldiers, and if we want to succeed, we can only rely on hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city, so from tonight, you will go home to organize your own local families, and prepare to cooperate with my orders tomorrow." Speaking of this, Sulman took out a book and handed it to the people: "In order, each person writes down the land, money, and manpower available to him in his home, and he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future." ”

At this moment, the door slammed! There was a loud bang on the ground, as if there was a muffled thunder in the air, which stunned everyone in the room at once, and then shouted and killed like a tide, and rushed to the courtyard in an instant, and a few screams woke up all the people, and the room was suddenly chaotic, and everyone rushed to flee out, but it was over, the door and windows were slammed open, flashing bloody cold sabers, and countless black shadows had surrounded the guest hall, Sulman was stunned, he suddenly reacted, and jumped out of the window on the left, He knew there was a secret passage that led to the outside of the house.

Boom! With a bang, Sulman's body smashed the window and jumped out of the window, but before his body landed, he saw several cold long knives appear in the air, all of which slashed at his neck, a sharp pain, Sulman's trance in the moment he left his body, he seemed to see the throne of the Sassanid dynasty appear in the golden sky, he instinctively reached out and grabbed it, but there was only a dark night sky above him, slowly, Sulman's hand hung down weakly

In January of the seventh year of the Great Rule, there was a serious bloodshed in the Hui country, the national teacher Surman conspiracy rebellion, trying to re-establish the new Khan, was detected by Jiegangas, Jiegangas preemptively attacked, that night sent troops to surround Sulman's mansion, and killed more than 50 people who were participating in the conspiracy in the mansion, Jiegangas immediately carried out a bloody purge in Han Ear Bali, and would rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let go of a person, for three days in a row, Han Er Bali was shrouded in a bloody rain, this purge A total of more than 4,000 people were killed, It became another bloody infighting after the killing of Dengli Khan, and the Yaoluo family was almost slaughtered, but on the other hand, tens of thousands of stone grain were also collected from this massacre, which solved the urgent need of Han Erbali.

January of the seventh year of the Great Rule was destined to be an eventful season, and the internal strife between the Great Eclipse and the Hui Dynasty had occurred one after another, the difference was that the internal strife of the Great Eclipse opened the upward passage for the Arab Empire and entered the heyday, while the internal strife of the Hui Dynasty plunged the steppe nation into a deeper decline.
