Li Hong looked at Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan, who also had a look of curiosity, let the war horse under his crotch move forward slowly, and said to a few people around him: "It is a scripture, and this scripture guides the people there to light, and makes the people there feel happy." So they began to submit to Muhammad and regard him as their god and for their faith. And thus was born the 'Islam' created by Muhammad, which became a sacred place in their hearts, so sacred that no one could desecrate it. ”

"A scripture? We have a lot of scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, and we don't see any of them that can do it, or we will ask for his scriptures, so that we can rule the Western Regions. Xiaoxue frowned, in her mind, she still couldn't understand how a scripture book could be so powerful.

"Nonsense." Li Hong reprimanded Xiaoxue and continued: "That scripture book is called the Koran, and now that you have gone to the White Clothes Food, I estimate that you can buy one without a lot of money." If we use their scriptures, then we will be enslaved by them, commanded by them. So what we have to do in the vast land of the Western Regions is to prove that our civilization of the Tang Dynasty is powerful and unconquerable in the collision of two civilizations. In the same way, it is also necessary to prove that our Datang Iron Cavalry can go anywhere, can guard any inch of our territory, and is not violated by others! ”

Looking at these people who still seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Li Hong slowly walked to the west gate of Yumen Pass, and after walking a hundred zhang distance, under the light of the morning sun, he turned his head to look at the five people who were still hanging on the city gate, and said lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, you don't have to be in awe of that scripture, it doesn't have any magic in itself, it's just an ordinary scripture." Just like any book left by our ancestors, his inheritance value is just to make an exploration of unknown civilization for future generations, which is not worth our fuss, but we will never allow them to use things that are not our Chinese ancestors to corrupt our thoughts. Anyone can influence my people in the Tang Dynasty, only my people in the Tang Dynasty can influence others and other countries! Yuan Shuji, combined with what I told you last night, do you understand some truth? ”

Li Hong looked at Yuan Shuji and said, while slowly picking up the bow and crossbow from the side of the horse, and then pulled out an arrow from the quiver next to him and slowly put it on the bow and crossbow.

Although the speed of today's bows and crossbows is still a little slower than that of longbows, they are better in terms of range, accuracy and lethality. Therefore, when fighting with cavalry, it is far more threatening than the longbow on the battlefield.

Yuan Shuji, Yao Chong, Huan Yanfan, including Xia Zhi and others were all frowning and thinking, and after a while, a few people gradually became a little enlightened.

Yuan Shuji's eyes tended to brighten, looked at Li Hong and said: "Dadu Hu, do you mean that to conquer a nation, force and culture should go hand in hand and complement each other, so that we can truly expand the territory of our Tang Dynasty?" Although what the last general said is not very subtle, I think most of them will protect you ....... ”

"Yes, that's what I meant. If the Western Regions want to be controlled by us forever, and let these people be proud of the Tang people, we must not only conquer them by force, but also use the spiritual, believable, and cultural strength of our Tang Dynasty to conquer them! The battle between civilization and civilization, the fight between iron horses and iron horses, who is the king and who is the loser, the Tang Dynasty should not be subservient to others, because we are China, the center of the world, and the empire worshiped by all nations! ”

Li Hong slowly raised his bow and crossbow, and the five people who were hanging there at the head of the city were already dying at this time after the devastation of the cold night.

Kassim raised his eyelids forcefully, stared hard at Li Hong under the dazzling sun, and muttered weakly with chapped lips: "Let me go, otherwise my father won't let you go." And you, since you know my father's name, you should know who I am, if I die, you Datang will wait to be destroyed by us. ”

Kassim's voice was very soft, but in the quiet Hexi corridor, it was also faint, and word for word reached the ears of Li Hong and others.

"When death is on the verge of death, you are still here to talk harshly? Qasim, after today, you will disappear into the world, the great prophet Muhammad will not save you, we all have our own beliefs, we also respect your beliefs, but we will never welcome dissidents who want to occupy our territory, you are not wronged to die in my hands, as the youngest son of Mu'awiyah, rest assured, if you die, your two elder brothers will replace your father for you and become the successors of the white food. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Hong held the bow and crossbow with his other hand, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Kassim's weak eyes, which reflected regret and fear at this time.

"The truth has come, and you vainness will be destroyed, and you will always be the poorest of the poor, with foolishness and humility, and wisdom is our noblest treasure......."

The sound of breaking through the air crossed and Qasim's voice came to an abrupt end. An arrow like black lightning shot out of Li Hong's crossbow and struck Kassim's eyebrows in the blink of an eye.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead, do you really think this is a peninsula? It's the same as you, with foolish lowly people! Remember, your prophet also said: 'Seek knowledge, even if it is far away in China.'" If you want to learn about our culture, you have to have the right attitude, not be arrogant! Let's go! Li Hong hung up his bow and crossbow, and with a cold drink, the cavalry of 20,000 people on both sides began to follow him quickly and orderly, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, and marching towards Qiuzi.

As the Hexi Corridor was slowly thrown behind by Li Hong, the vegetation on both sides of the road also seemed to be left behind, under the sunshine, the breeze blew, and the drought-tolerant bushes on the Gobi began to gradually appear, and the standing figure seemed to be arrogantly telling passers-by that they deserved more attention and respect from the world than those flowers and trees that needed water.

The endless Gobi Desert is already much easier for the Tang Dynasty soldiers who have been wearing their horseshoe for many years.

The wind blows through the sand dunes to bring whining sounds, as if they all have a rhythmic feeling, the crisp camel bells, the melodious huqin sound, the endless desert makes people feel refreshed and happy, in the clear sky, as if the whole person wants to integrate into this sea of sand.

Li Hong was wearing a thick silk scarf to shield himself from the wind and sand, and the four girls around him had already wrapped themselves like a zongzi, leaving only two black eyes, gurgling around.

Looking at the endless desert, he originally wanted to 'set the sun over the long river', but he had already lost interest, and his whole mind was immersed in an inexplicable emptiness.

Even in a trance, when looking at this sea of sand without any ruins or buildings, Li Hong had a feeling of returning to his previous life.

All the scenes around him, as if they had passed a thousand years, easily brought him into that era of slow modernity.

If it weren't for the occasional hand touching the blades of the armor on his body, Li Hongdu would have almost thought that he had returned to his previous life, and had returned to riding a camel with his wife.

After avoiding other tourists, between the hills and sand dunes, under the encouragement of the wind and clouds, it was a rare fresh air in those days, and it was a sneaky fun story in broad daylight.

He shook his head vigorously, shook away the mess in his mind, including his wife's proud figure, and looked at the scout led by Quan Yi and quickly rushed towards them.

"Daduhu, it will take about twenty or thirty miles, and we can set up camp, there is a water source there, the terrain is high and flat, and it is very suitable for camping." Quan Yi said on horseback.

"Hurry up and get there before sunset." Li Hongurn said angrily.

Nature is so wonderful, a few days ago when they saw the desert on the summer solstice, they were as excited as a little girl, but when they walked through the desert for three days, they immediately seemed to be watered by the winter rain and wilted flowers, and they didn't even have the interest in looking at the desert scenery in the distance.

In the past two days, with the increase of yellow vegetation, the four girls began to chirp again, Li Hong has no doubt that if there is a mobile phone at this time, the four girls can fill the memory with their stinky photos during tea time.

With the widening of the road, the terrain is getting flatter and flatter, and Qiuzi has always been an important town combining the Western Regions and Yunzhong, which is why Datang placed one of the four towns of Anxi here.

The water and grass in the clouds are fertile, and both the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks have always lived by water, so the closer they get here, the more they deviate from the real Western Regions.

But again, judging from the location of the ground, this place is still under the jurisdiction of the Anzai Prefecture, and it is also part of the later Beiting Prefecture in history.

A shallow small river has frozen, and it will not be very deep, Li Hong, who has changed his armor, stands beside the small ditch guarded by the withered yellow weeds, accompanied by the four daughters.

The four girls were wide-eyed, watching Li Hong walk down slowly, saying that they were going to catch fish for them to eat here.

The horizontal knife in his hand was inserted into the ice behind him, and under the shroud of the hazy night, Li Hong carefully dug a small hole, but ...... I saw Li Hong raise his head, look at Quan Yi, who was commanding the soldiers in the distance, and shouted, "Quan Yi, what should I do after digging the hole?" You don't want to put your hand in to catch fish, do you? ”

Quan Yi heard Li Hong's shout, and said a few words to his subordinates, then ran over quickly, hurriedly walked down the dry grass river, stood on the ice with Li Hong, and said, "Daduhu, do you still have a scarf today?" Finally, get some bait and put it in and ...... it with a scarf. ”

", what you said just now sounds very good, I thought it was so simple, I still use you if I want a scarf, and I can catch it with my own fishing rod." Li Hong threw the horizontal knife to Quan Yi dissatisfied, and walked up angrily under the support of Xia Zhi and Banmei, no longer catching fish, cold.
