Chapter 65: Actions of the Parties

"Hurry up and go to the north gate to see, Ningyuan General Yang Wenxing, Zhaowu Commander Cheng Yun returned victoriously and escorted the Turks into the city!"

Early in the morning, the streets and alleys of the city became very lively, and the residents of the city, regardless of Hu and Han, walked out of their homes one after another, gathered on Suzaku Street, and watched this long-awaited tribute of Zhu Jie's prisoners.

The procession marched from north to south along Suzaku Street, and all the generals of the Ochichong Prefecture changed into full armor and walked in front of the procession without squinting on their horses, and their bodies on horses were straight, and all the armor pieces on their bodies were carefully cleaned, and they were also covered with light wax, which shone in the sunlight.

Walking in the forefront, Yang Wenxing and Cheng Yun were replaced by the famous Ming Guangkai, and the carefully polished armor piece emitted a golden light, like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, unstoppable.

Behind the generals of Zhichong Mansion were a string of Turkic captives who were tied together, in groups of fifty people, each group was escorted by two or three Minzhuang, who were all people who had gone to Panjiabao with the generals of Zhichong Mansion before.

These men were all temporarily recruited, and they originally thought that they were in a difficult situation, especially when the Turks attacked Panjiabao, and they thought they were going to die.

As a result, I didn't expect that not only did he not die, but he didn't even lose a little skin, but he helped carry some stones when he was defending the city, and he actually mixed some military merits and was qualified to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, which made them very happy.

If they see their relatives, friends and neighbors in the crowd of onlookers, they can't help but wave at them, or learn from the generals in front of them, and deliberately straighten their backs and pose mightily.

"Obediently captured so many Turks, this total number is thousands, right?" Looking at the long procession of prisoners in front of them, the onlookers couldn't help but smack their tongues

"Li Tiezui, didn't you say that the five rivers victory was all fake, and it was boasted by the Governor's Mansion? So what's going on with these captives in front of you? Can you tell us about it again? Haha..."Someone remembers the many doubts they had when they first heard the good news, and in turn made fun of the most staunch skeptics, even though they themselves did not believe it at the time.

The person who was teased was not annoyed, but just muttered vigorously: "Qi Ye, Qi Ye, this great victory is actually real, is it true that my Anxi has another famous general?" ”

Then the man began to laugh loudly again: "Fortunately, fortunately, this is God bless my Datang, and I am hopeful for the revival of Anxi!" ”

This victory undoubtedly injected a boost to the Han people in the city, whether it was those who were skeptical or completely unbelieving, as long as he was a Han Chinese, seeing the thousands of living Turkic captives in front of him, all of them abandoned their previous positions, and all of them sincerely celebrated!

The mood of the Hu people in the city is much more complicated, some are sincerely happy that the Tang army has won another great victory, some are indifferent, and some are secretly frightened.

There is a group of people in it who are not easy to classify...

"Wow... Captain Cheng looks so powerful when he wears armor! ”

"Captain Cheng has a murderous face, so handsome!"

"Ah~ Captain Cheng just glanced at me, so happy, I'm going to faint!"

This is a group of young girls, there are Han and Hu people in it, they keep following the team, throwing the petals in their hands at Cheng Yun, and a bold Hu girl even rushed out of the crowd and stuffed a sachet into Cheng Yun's arms...

"Hmph, it's immoral!" On the second floor of a wine shop on Suzaku Street, Deputy Governor Wang Lun scolded fiercely.

On the street downstairs, Cheng Yun had already jumped off the horse and helped up the Hu girl who was pushed down by the errand who maintained order, which caused the girls to scream wave after wave, and finally the atmosphere of the scene, after the Hu girl boldly kissed Cheng Yun's cheek, reached the climax, the girls screamed again and again, and the others cheered, and it was very lively.

Wang Lun withdrew his gaze and looked across the table, where sat a bearded man with a high nose and deep eyes.

"Your affairs must be slow, now the Cheng family is now in the Governor's Mansion... Controversy... Withdrawal... Hold off..."Wang Lun's voice was very small, only he and the person opposite could hear it clearly, and others could only hear a few words.

The Yueshi Governor's Mansion was busy wishing Jie, and the other person traveled thousands of miles after a lot of hardships to a village in southern Persia.

The man came to a nondescript hut in the middle of the village, and as soon as he entered, he untied his robe and knelt shirtless before an old man in a white robe

"Imam, I have failed and failed to fulfill the mission of the true God, please punish me."

This man's bare back was crisscrossed with whip marks, and it was the same Kuchiha who had deceived the Gilikreh tribe into Panjiabao.

"Rise up Ilkhan, Asia is a land cursed by the true God, and the Caliph of 'Umar has not succeeded, and you can't do it alone." The old man lifted Ilhan, Khuchiha, from the ground.

Khuchiha was the original name of Ilhan, who changed his name after converting to the true God, and the old man who lifted him up was an imam of the True God Cult.

The Umar Caliph that the old man just mentioned was the second caliph of the Arab Empire in the original history, and one of his greatest achievements was the destruction of the Sassanid Persian Empire and the inclusion of the Persian Empire in the territory of the Arab Empire.

"Ilhan, tell me what you have seen and heard in the past three years, your mission has failed, but what you have brought back will be a valuable experience for the next holy war." The old man sat down on the thick blanket on the ground and motioned for Ilhan to sit down as well

At this time, Yirhan was no longer as frightened as he was when he first entered the door, and after putting on the blanket, he slowly recounted what he had seen and heard in the past three years.

"So there is really a big country in the Persian East, and all those silks and porcelain came from that big country?" When the imam heard Yirhan mention the Tang Dynasty, he was intrigued and interrupted for the first time

"Yes, I personally disguised myself as a caravan and dealt with the merchants of that country called the Don, bought some porcelain and silk from them, and also personally entered their city." Ilhan nodded in the affirmative

"What is this country like, is it as powerful and rich as the legend says, and does they all believe in the true God?" The imam then asked

"It's a pity, these Han people..."Yierhan saw the imam frowning, and quickly explained, "The Han people are the largest tribe among the Tang people, the people of this tribe have flat faces, black hair and black eyes, many Tang people belong to this tribe, because the people of this tribe occupied the current land because they defeated the ancestors of the Turkic people, so they have a very arrogant attitude towards the people of other tribes, and many people in other tribes do not like the rule of the Han people." When Ilhan said this, he did not consider himself a member of the Turkic people in the slightest

Yirhan continued: "These Han Chinese are even more blasphemous than the Persian pagans, they not only worship their own gods and ancestors, but also go to worship Persian false gods and Buddhist temples, and there is no piety at all!" ”

"And this country is not as strong as it is rumored, and now it is caught between two enemy countries, I heard that they are ready to withdraw all their armies to the four cities of the national capital, as long as the army of the true god conquers Persia, as long as one army is divided, the country can be completely conquered!"
