The city of Moufu has been transformed into a typical Persian city under Persian rule for hundreds of years. The tall city walls and spired towers are very similar to the Almut city in a movie that Li Wei had seen in his previous life, the Persian prince Time Blade. It is not as spectacular and majestic as the computer virtual city inside, and the architectural style is similar, and the difference is not very big.

Not only were there tall city walls, but there was also an urn city behind each city gate. Take the city gate, and the distance from the city gate to the urn city becomes a new place of death.

The outer city is a little better, especially the inner city, which is as wide as 123 zhang and as high as 112 zhang. Ordinary ladders can't reach them. It's not that it can't be captured, even if it's Chang'an City, Li Wei can be sure to capture it. Tall walls, like sharp weapons, can only play an important auxiliary role in warfare. What really determines the combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers. But if you want to take it, a lot of soldiers will die.

Only then did he frown.

In the evening, several people came, and Shi Yilian brought two scouts to the city of Moufu, as well as a Persian to ask for an audience, which also brought a piece of good news.

……

The Wuhu River is in full swing, but Kang Dabeard's group of people are living a drunken life in Moufu City.

There is a large amount of ill-gotten wealth in his hands, which is obtained from the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is not uncommon to squander it, but the more money is squandered, the more money is squandered. Hezhong tacitly provided them with goods, not for free, and every transaction was clearly accounted for.

But the covert support allows them to omit many formalities, save costs, and increase speed.

On the other side, the group was big-hearted, and quickly won the favor of the wealthy in the city, and they also had the green light all the way. Others are inconvenient to transport goods because of the imminent outbreak of war, but their goods are unimpeded. The more at this time, the more precious it is. On the contrary, before the Tang Dynasty army arrived at the Wuhu River, many of them more than doubled their funds.

It looks more like a businessman.

Sometimes a few people are also cranky, is it so simple to do business?

But with a sword hanging over their heads, they lived in fear. The Tang army reached the Wuhu River, and the Persian people in the Khorasan region were inflamed, and the uprising was even larger. However, all of them are a group of rabble, a ** uprising arose, and one ** was suppressed by the big cannibal town.

For the rule of the occupied area, the Great Eclipse is half angel and half devil to the fullest. Those who surrender and believe in Islam are not only not taxed, but are rewarded with some money. Those who resist will be killed.

In order to calm the rear, Salem used thunderbolts, not only suppressing the repression, but also using severe interrogation, and killing all the remaining parties involved. Every day, the towers of the gates of the city were filled with the heads of the Persians who had been killed. Kang Dabeard's group didn't show their feet, but they were very worried about the people on the side of the general. The people over there didn't know the details of Kang's beard, but they knew that Master Banjie couldn't withstand the pressure of arresting the city several times, and Kang bearded man had evil thoughts many times and wanted to kill Master Panjie.

Afraid of something, on this day, Master Benjie found Kang's beard and said: "General Kang, my companions said that they would launch a city-wide uprising to support your country's action. ”

Kang Dabeard was startled and said, "Didn't you not let you contact them, why did you contact them again?" ”

"I didn't contact them, they contacted me, asked me if I had any way, crossed the Wuhu River and informed your army."

"They are looking for you, and you can't admit it." The big cannibal catches us so fiercely, isn't this hurting us? As for your uprising, don't take it seriously, not only did you not take it seriously, but even Li Jinxing originally thought that it was possible to stay and be a good person to do something inside, but after seeing the so-called uprising of the Persians, he gave up this idea.

The rabble is not counted, and it does not even drag down the action of half of the big cannibals, and many strong men have been sacrificed in vain. Relatively speaking, the situation on the side of the city is good, and several rebel armies take advantage of the complex mountainous terrain, although the scale cannot shake the rule of the Great Cannibal Sestan, but it can also be regarded as a sound fight.

Frightened by Kang's beard, Master Pan stopped several of his companions when he returned.

But I always feel that it is a troublesome thing, maybe one day the big cannibals will touch the melons, and they will find out the Pan Jieshi, and it is possible to find out the Pan Jieshi. There is only one benefit, because this sword is hanging, more than a dozen people have not been lost in the life of drunkenness, and have always kept their heads clear. As a result, all kinds of information were also sent to the front line in a steady stream from their hands, taking advantage of their own advantages. The intelligence brought by a few people this time is not trivial, and at one time their intelligence made Li Wei the main basis for the intelligence of the big cannibal.

Later, the big cannibals blocked the Wuhu River, and everyone was disappointed when they saw that the Tang Dynasty people couldn't even cross a single Wuhu River. The uprising gradually subsided. But just when the Persians were dying, the Tang Dynasty suddenly came to burn the river. This one goes up and down, and the careful liver can't stand it.

Just when the forces of all parties were holding on to their hopes, they suddenly heard that more than 100,000 Tang Dynasty had appeared in Gabro City.

Although those who can preside over the uprising may not be talents, they will have a long-term vision and courage than ordinary people. The Tang Dynasty army was grinding in the Wuhu River, and suddenly dispatched a large army in Tocharo, and there was no doubt that the main direction of the Tang Dynasty's attack was Tocharo, forcibly opening the passage from Gaburo City to Jiling City, and connecting with the righteous army of Jiling City. The Khorasan Tang people gave up. Some heroes who wanted to rebel had this idea and wanted to resist dived again.

The roller coaster of the Tang army did not stop, and a few days later, the Tang army won a great victory at the Wuhu River, and Salem's 80,000 troops were almost completely annihilated. These heroes beat their chests at home and regretted it. I knew that if I continued to resist, maybe the Tang Dynasty army would take down the city of Moufu at once, and Khorasan would not be far from recovery.

It's too late to regret it. At this time, Salem's policy was very clear, and the walls of Moufu City were tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. When he first came to the city of Moufu a few years ago, he frightened the tall city of Moufu, and was very glad that if it were not for the civil strife of the Persians, it would be difficult for the big cannibals to conquer it. It's no wonder that Iji had to flee to Moufu City for refuge.

And the city of Moufu has always been the capital of Khorasan, and there is a lot of grain in it, and Xia received it, and he did not grab all of it, but also grabbed a lot of wheat. It is enough for more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians in the city to support a year's consumption.

Speaking of troops, the number of troops was greatly damaged, and there were not two or three thousand soldiers who could escape back, but there were still seven or eight thousand defenders in the city. In addition to these armies at their disposal, the city was inhabited by a large number of nobles of the Great Food, the Persians may not be reliable, but the nobles of the Great Food were reliable, and they kept a large number of domestic servants and slaves. These house slaves can also come in handy, and with a draw from other sources, they can draw 20,000 reliable troops. If the enslaved Persian army is added, it will reach at least 30,000 or 40,000 defenders.

I didn't dare to go to war, even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty only led twenty or thirty thousand Tang Dynasty troops to arrive. Under the victory, the morale was invincible. And this emperor used soldiers to swish, and now most of the strategies have been thought out, but there are still many failures that have not been understood. It is enough to defend the city.

The trebuchet of the Tang Dynasty made him feel cold, and the fire medicine was cold. But the rear will not sit idly by and watch themselves lose the city. The army will definitely be sent to support, and the weather will be hot by then, the simplest common sense of marching, the Tang Dynasty people may not be able to adapt to the scorching heat outside the city in summer, there are only two choices, one is to retreat, and the other is defeated. Himself will definitely be punished by the caliphate. It can only be said that the sins are reduced, and this important city can no longer be lost.

So he gave up the outside of the city. Rebels outside the city who want to revolt, revolt. I don't care. But a frantic search was carried out in the city, and as long as it was considered to be the object of suspicion, all of them were found out and put on the gallows and hanged. Including some merchants, many merchants in the middle of the river were implicated, their shops were sealed, they were taken to prison, whether they were there or not, and after torture, they were also put on the gallows.

almost did something to Kang Dabeard, but fortunately, Kang Dabeard was willing to pay during this time, and many big-food nobles had a good impression of them. And then there was Abla's strong protection, and he was spared. But under the frantic search of Da Shi, he finally found the two scouts who were lurking in the Tang Dynasty. One had not been tortured and his identity was revealed. However, they are all one-lined, and no one else is implicated. As a result, more businessmen were arrested and imprisoned.

In this context, Master Banjie found Kang's beard again and said, "General Kang, your army will arrive in Moufu City in the near future. My companions want to cooperate with your army, and they should cooperate with the outside to make it easier for your army to attack the city. ”

"Why are you here again?" Kang's beard was angry.

His task has been completed, and he is waiting for the city to be broken and rewarded for meritorious service, and at this time he also contacted the Persian rebels, trying to find death.

This time, Master Banjie did not relent, took Kang's bearded hand and said, "General Kang, listen to me, the big cannibal is crazy. This is because your army did not come, they thought that there was no resistance in the city, and we obediently listened to them and assisted them in defending the city. Once your army arrives, they must change from chaos to order, otherwise the city will be under high pressure and the people will be dissatisfied, which will not be conducive to them defending the city. The direction of the wind is very changeable. And Salem is scheming and will definitely do the same. We studied it over and over again for a long time. ”

They also studied it over and over again for a long time!

Kang Dabeard was so angry that he jumped to his feet and said, "You want to die early, don't implicate us, okay?" ”

Even if you die on the battlefield, it is better than inexplicably letting a group of people who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth kill you.

But he didn't let go, tugged at the sleeve of his coat and continued: "General Kang, it's better to be like this. If I'm not right, if the cannibals don't change their policy, we won't do it. If it changes, please support it. I have often heard you talk about wealth and danger. You have traveled thousands of miles to come to the dangerous place of Moufu City alone, not for a great fame or a great wealth. If this is done, will it not add a greater wealth to you? ”

Rich and not greedy, these people have never seen so much money in their hands. But you still have to be greedy, if you can seal a viscount, if you don't get it right, you can inherit the descendants.

Several people hesitated. In the end, Kang Da Huyi shook his head and said, "It's not that it can't be done, your companion acts, and I don't object." But don't go in, it's really not good, I think of a strategy to get you to hide. ”

"General Kang......"

"It's not that I look down on you, for so many days, I've seen your Persian uprisings many times, and that ability ......" Kang Dabeard shook his head. In order to find out the actual situation of these people, he even personally saw the combat effectiveness of the rebel army. The result was very disappointing, and he also reported it to Li Wei. Don't count on these rebels, Your Majesty.

This is his point of view, and Li Wei does not think so. The more rebels there are, the more people they kill, and the more the contradictions will intensify. This is the will of the people, and it cannot be seen directly, but in practice, it will play a great potential role. Coming by yourself is not an invasion, it is an occupation, and without the support of the people, you will not be able to deal with the counterattack of the big cannibals.

The reason, there is no need to explain to Kang Dayan, what he needs Kang Dayan to provide is intelligence, not to let him be an ideological and political educator.

"General Kang, Hugh should underestimate the abilities of my companions, their influence in the city is by no means what you think. To be activated, the power will be considerable. If we cooperate properly, the noble army outside the city will attack the city, and we will launch it in the city. The Great Cannibals killed many of the people in the city, and they still have their families alive in the world, and many people will rise up and echo one after another. The city of Moufu can be obtained in one day. Or if General Kang can take a gamble, we provide some reliable candidates, you use your connections, let them serve as middle and low-level officials defending the city, and cooperate well, maybe you can open the city gate for your army from the inside when your army is attacking the city. ”

These are all things that Master Jie has been thinking about for a long time in the past few days before he came up with them. The method is good, but if you want to implement it, you must have the cooperation of these Tang Dynasty scouts in front of you. After saying it in one breath, he looked at Kang's beard beggingly. The sooner the Tang army entered the city, the sooner Persia had the hope of recovering the country. Besides, if the plan succeeds, there will also be the credit of the Persians themselves, so that the Tang people will not look down on it.

Kang Dabeard and the others were a little moved.

However, he did not agree, and finally decided to consult Li Wei, or a general who can call the shots.

The Tang army had not yet come, but a large number of prisoners were released first. There are many people who are the people of the city, or the puppet army. Now that the Tang army released them, they also returned home. Salem has a headache about this. These people can no longer be used, and if they are placed in the army, they will destroy morale. If they are not allowed to enter the city, their families and relatives will not accept it. The high-pressure policy is not a long-term solution, and after thinking about it, I began to change the policy in the city. The suspects are almost killed, and some real or false charges are placed on these people's heads. Then send people to appease the people, you are good people, it has nothing to do with you, the Tang Dynasty people are coming, they will besiege the city for a long time, and then the prices in the city will fly, so they will distribute some food from house to house to avoid its harm.

This hand is very beautiful, and some timid and fearful people finally fell silent.

He personally sent people to welcome some of these prisoners of war, comforted them with kind words, and gave them some coins as a subsidy to let them go home and rest. It's the soft side. On the hard side, you can go home and don't hold you responsible, but don't talk nonsense to me, otherwise you will be unwelcome. It was terrible that the Tang Dynasty would mix in a large number of scouts again, so the city gate was closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

But for ordinary people. Miranda found Abla and put it mildly, the Tang army besieged the city and was arrogant. With the help of the lord of the castle, I made a small fortune, but I was worried about my family. Some people don't know the height of the sky, and if they have bad thoughts, it will be bad for my family.

After receiving a lot of Miranda's benefits, Abla waved his hand and asked Miranda to send someone back to have a look, and said a word, if you are worried, simply convert to Islam and move your family to Moufu City. It's a joke, knowing that it's impossible, people do a big business, and they need not only their relationship, but also the relationship in the river. But it would be nice if every people of the river, or of Persia, were as knowledgeable as he was.

With a sigh in his heart, he arranged to send Kang's bearded men out of the city. Shi Yijian and his two subordinates, as well as the eldest son of Master Banjie. However, the Tang Dynasty army is also approaching, and the big cannibals outside the city are full of scouts. Several subordinates did not dare to stay, nor did they make immediate contact, for fear that the food scouts would see it. It wasn't until the Tang Dynasty army set up a large camp and night came that they came to ask for a meeting.

Li Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Kang Bearded ignores the power of the people, and he will not ignore it. But they can't act immediately, and the intention of the soldiers coming to the city is to block several city gates and prevent the big food nobles from escaping with their wealth. The real siege is likely to be equal to twenty days later, when in the east, after defeating the tens of thousands of troops of the Great Eclipse, and taking the cities of Barihe, Herat, and Gabro, the army will rush to Moufu. Let's see if we can successfully take the Moufu region, and again

Radiates to the Nisa region (18 km northwest of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, the resting capital).

As for the long-term goal, it is nothing more than to capture the cities of Jiling, Herat, Nishapur (in the area of Neshapur in northwestern Iran), Guchang and Nisa, so that Khorasan and Sestan can be connected, and with the support of the countries of the river and Tocharo, the Tang Dynasty mediates, and the Persians can make reluctant resistance.

The Khorasan region mentioned here does not refer to the Khorasan region of Persia, but to the Khorasan region in the eyes of the Great Eclipse. Originally, Khorasan in a broad sense refers to the southern part of Yaozhishui (middle and lower reaches of the Syr Darya) below the Zhenzhu River (the upper reaches of the Syr Darya), and the vast area west of the Tocharian Snow Mountain, including the present-day river, Tocharian and Khorasan. After the Western Turks became strong, the Persian power shrank to the south of the Wuhu River and Tiemen Pass. As a result, Khorasan became only half of the area of today's Khorasan and the Lower Tocharian kingdoms.

After the end of Persia, the Lower Tocharian countries** had to remove the Lower Tocharian region south of the Wuhu River such as the Black City of Bari. The Khorasan in the eyes of the Great Cannibal is exactly such Khorasan. Later, it was handed over to the Persians and it was still like this.

If possible, take the city of Golgan, the Fandou area (the area of Shahrud southeast of Golgan), the city of South Semn and the city of Tehran to the southwest, and form a line with the resistance forces of the Persian Tobalsdan, which is Li Wei's bottom line. It occupies about one-seventh to one-ninth of the original peak area of Sassanid Persia.

To hell with Sindh on the coast, Iraq further west, and Fars and Makran and Sindh on the coast. Even the Kerman region on the southern plateau of Fandou and Nisa, the Yazd region (central Iran) and Baluchistan (central Pakistan) in southern Sestan are absolutely not interested.

Can the Tang Dynasty have this long-range power?

The latter is just some ideas, whether it can be done or not depends on the situation. Only the city of Moufu is bound for him. But it will have to wait for the army to converge to the west again before it can really take the city of Moufu. Otherwise, it will be a city in turmoil. He attaches great importance to the plan of the general master to cooperate with the outside, but he has to wait. When the Tang army first arrived, Salem changed his policy, but the people in the city did not know how thick the sky was, and there would be many violent rebellions, and the city would be tight again. After resisting this wave, the city stabilizes is the safest time period. Not only did it protect the dozen or so scouts, but it also protected this effective force.

Some of these thoughts can be said, some can't, and some reasons are faintly stated.

"Oh," it was Shi Yilian who went out of the city, and he had a cordial conversation with His Majesty the Emperor for the first time, and he was very excited.

However, Li Wei asked again: "How many of you entered the city?" ”

Salem is heavily guarded, and if he can't enter the city, he can't contact him, and if this trouble is not solved, he can't be arranged.
