Chapter Eighty-Eight: Holy War
Chapter 88: Holy War
September was late, the grape leaves in the yard were yellow, the sun was not strong, and when the wind blew, there was a chill in the house.
Master Banjie's eyes also saw He Zhongbai's small action, and sweat flowed down.
Because of chance, he saw that their group of people sneaked into Salad's house and did something, but he didn't dare to sneak over to see it, but he didn't hear any movement that night, and the next day it was rumored that the whole family of more than 40 people had let these ten people do it.
He had no doubt that he could kill the group at any time.
When I was scared, I didn't know how to say, "Actually, I'm a thief." ”
"A thief?" I still can't understand the complex Persian language, but after so many days, most of them can understand some simple everyday language. Laughed weirdly together.
There was a mistake in the language, and it was difficult to explain the meaning, so he said: "No, I was originally a Persian nobleman, and after the great cannibals entered the city of Moufu, my father and brother were killed for resistance, and the family property was confiscated, and sometimes because of the pressure of life, I had to do some bad things." ”
mentioned the past, hated his heart, and his fear was a little lighter, so he stumbled and explained what had happened.
Salad was originally a wealthy merchant in the city, but after defecting to the Great Cannibal, he was taken care of, and he has amassed a lot of wealth in recent years. But since the return of the Nineshi to Tocharian and the command of Tocharo, a revolt has begun all over Persia.
With Wang Fangyi's defeat of Ashina Che Bo, he followed the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to lead the army to the Western Regions, and showed his might in the first battle of Yili River, and the resistance reached a **. Salad did not have a good reputation, so he continued to transfer the wealth from outside the city to the city.
The family was poor, so he set his sights on Salad's family, but Salad's family had more than a dozen guards. These guards were nothing to Kang Dabeard and the others, but to Salad, they were a terrifying force. It's not that they don't want to gather manpower, but no matter how many people are gathered, as long as they attack the courtyard, the soldiers who patrol immediately will be able to rush to support. But he was unwilling in his heart, so he stared for many days to see if there was a chance. That night, he went again to the back garden of Salad's house, and attached himself to a dark place to inspect it. As a result, I saw Kang Bearded and his group enter Salad's house, and it took a while for them to come out, not only carrying a bag on their backs, but also setting a fire.
When his father and brother died in battle, there were relatives in the family, including his mother, it was the revelation of these thieves, many relatives were killed, and the family property was immediately confiscated.
When they succeeded, they didn't say anything.
At first, I thought it was either the rebel army or the daring Jiangyang bandits. But later, when they saw Kang Dabeard, they befriended the officials in the city, and they didn't pay much attention to it. If you get wealth, you have to transfer it, but the city gate is strictly checked, and with this layer of disguise, any wealth can be transferred.
However, Kang Dabeard and they stayed too long, and they didn't think of what they did that night, doing business, in this era, like doing business in the Tang Dynasty, it may take two years to come and go. When I saw it, I was very puzzled. I don't know how much wealth they took away that night, but the next day they heard the news that all the valuable property of Salad's family was looted, or those bulky ones were left, such as porcelain and silk imported from the Tang Dynasty. There will also be a lot of wealth, which may be enough for these dozen people to eat for a lifetime. Why don't you go yet?
It wasn't until last night that he heard a piece of news that he judged the true origin of Kang Dabeard.
Nishi left Tocharian and issued an order, subjects, boldly resist, the Tang Dynasty will help me restore the country immediately, and you will no longer have to be oppressed by the great cannibals, nor do you need to believe in Islam. The news spread quickly, and perhaps Salem was not the case.
The Persians said that the Tang Dynasty helped each other, how many times did they say it. But is Big Food really easy to bully? The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so ignorant? However, the common people believed very much, and the news spread very quickly, and some people wept silently after hearing it. It also spread to the city of Moufu.
Pan Jieshi has a few good friends, so he found Pan Jieshi and said that the army of the Tang Dynasty is coming, and we will also gather an army to support the prince to come back.
Master Pan immediately agreed, and the few of them discussed for a long time. After leaving, Master Banjie thought of Kang Dabeard again, his father was a general, and he knew a little about military affairs. Kang Dabeard They got a lot of wealth, and they still stayed in the city and did not leave, and even did not hesitate to use the wealth obtained from adventure to deal with the big food officials, so in addition to wealth, what is it for? There is only fame and fortune among officials. Therefore, it was speculated that Kang Dabeard might be an important spy sent by the Tang Dynasty, bribing the officials with salad money, and then getting useful information for the Tang Dynasty from the mouths of the officials, and then being promoted to a knighthood.
Then one more thing came to mind. If his own group of people blindly act and the success rate is very low, the new governor Salem has exterminated many rebels in the past two years, but if he cooperates with the Tang Dynasty army, it will not only increase the success rate, but may also play an important role. After thinking about it again and again, I came to the door.
Hearing that he was going to pass by, they looked at Kang's beard together.
Everyone has forgotten Kang's original name, but they only know that he has a thick beard, and when he is in his thirties, he has dragged down to his chin, so they all call him bearded, or Kang bearded.
The bearded people in the West are very luxuriant, and they are also very cautious about their beards. Kang Dabeard also thinks he is very proud because of his thick and long beard. In the end, he simply changed his name to Kang Dahu. He was the highest-ranking scout on the trip and the head of the trip.
Looking at the Panjie Master, he asked, "Who else knows besides you?" ”
When I came here, I wanted to find out a lot of information, including the rebel forces in the Moufu area. It's not that way. I don't know what His Majesty's plans are, but winter is coming soon, and there will probably be no attack in winter. Even if you launch an attack, you won't take the city immediately. I have to stay in the city for a long time.
Either return to Angola immediately.
However, the relationship network that was finally pulled up was broken this time. Just as Master Jie thought, he got such a large amount of wealth, and he kept spending it, not for wealth, His Majesty dealt with it very fairly, as long as he brought it back, at least half of it would be distributed by his own group. can get rich, but lose the opportunity to become an official and become a knight. This is what they want more, and I believe that the other scouts will probably not be able to do a better job in their own group.
The appearance of the general master made this trip unexpected.
If one person knows, he will say it to the second person, and if the second person knows, he will say it to the third person. As long as his identity is revealed, can he still stay in Moufu City?
"No, I used to be a nobleman, how can I tell others when I do these things? Even my wife doesn't know. Master Bangjie said curtly. That is, I used to be a figure with a head and a face, but I was forced by life to be a thief, how could I be embarrassed to tell someone?
Kang Dabeard immediately had killing intent in his heart.
He doesn't care about whether he cooperates or not, what big things can these unrelenting little Persian nobles do? As long as you kill this person, you can kill the mouth. In the future, I will be safe in Moufu City. Kill him!
The thought turned in my heart again. This kid seems to be very shrewd, will he stay behind? If you kill him, you can't guarantee that your identity will be revealed. He was undecided, so he had to stare at the general master, and through the expression of the general master, he couldn't see it.
After thinking for a while, he said: "That's okay, An Zhengyu, we are here to do business, and we have also purchased a lot of goods, if we don't transport them back to the river, others will be suspicious." In this way, you are ready to escort the goods back to the river immediately, Shi Yijiao, you take out some Dilmu, and together with Master Panjie, give them to his family, and then bring him back, and go to the river together to see General Li. ”
"Whoa."
Shi Yishu took the general master down.
There was no way to judge the severity, so they had to bring him back to Anguo and let Li Jinxing make a choice for them. This kid is tied to his own people, and he doesn't dare to play any tricks.
The next day, he returned to Angola with the goods, as well as some jewellery that was difficult to handle.
Li Jinxing led the Tang Dynasty army into Anguo, and the Wuhu River was very loosely checked, but because he was taken care of, the green light was lit all the way, and he returned to Peiken City smoothly and met Li Jinxing. An Zhengyu told him about what had happened.
After Li Jinxing heard this, he also wanted Kang Dabeard and them to come back, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, but also thought of the importance of Moufu City in the future battle, Kang Dabeard They came into contact with the most important food official of Moufu, and they were reluctant. After thinking about it for a while, the soldiers were divided into two ways, and they asked people to inform Kang Dabeard all the way, and by the way, they checked the background of the general master. Along the way, I asked Master Pan Jie, as well as the identities of several people who wanted to raise the matter, and sent someone to contact Master Ni Ni to make a verification.
Of course, some goods were also prepared and transported to the city of Moufu to do business, and if there was no sale, it would also make people suspicious. Moreover, it is a big businessman, the scale cannot be small, and the goods prepared must also be many. Li Jinxing didn't understand what goods needed to be prepared.
But people are already in Anguo, he doesn't understand, but there are many people who do. The reason why the countries of the river are so rich is precisely because of the developed commercial atmosphere and the fact that there are many businessmen who are good at doing business. Under their staff, almost all the goods prepared were sought-after goods, and in fact, as the clouds of war became thicker and thicker, several batches of goods entered and exited, making Kang Dabeard's line earn countless money. This is an unintentional move, and Li Jinxing didn't care, what he cared about was intelligence.
The news came back, and the results were a bit surprising, whether it was Master Jie or a few other friends, it turned out to be a powerful person in the city. It was only after the big cannibal entered the city of Moufu that his status plummeted.
Li Jinxing thought about it again and again, found the general master, and said something to him. Let him tell these friends that the Tang Dynasty welcomes it, and the Tang Dynasty will definitely restore the country for Persia, but whether to start with Sestan or Khorasan has not yet been decided.
When the master heard this, he burst into tears and thanked Lingxi.
Li Jinxing didn't care about his mentality, he really helped you restore the country, he was stupid, he just used your Persia to stop the expansion of the Great Food. Go on, but a good knife should be used on the edge. It's okay to do something, but you can't rush to do it for the time being, first develop a more reliable force in the city, and the Tang Dynasty also used the door of Kang Dabeard to them to secretly support a batch of weapons to enter the city of Moufu. Then when the Tang Dynasty army attacked the city of Moufu, there was another internal and external combination.
The geographical location of Moufu City is important, reaching Anguo in the north, controlling Tocharian in the east, and even liberating Khora Mold in the west. Once Khorama was liberated, it was possible to reach the Khazar Khanate by ship from the small sea, which was a solid ally of Byzantium, from which the Khazar Khanate could go directly to Byzantium by land, and from the small West Sea to Constantinople (referring to the Black Sea, the Tang Dynasty called the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea were both called the West Sea, and the locals continued to call the Greeks the Euksin Sea, also known as the Hospitable Sea. The name is very different, so Li Jinxing called it Xiaoxihai).
However, the city is very tall and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is a strong rebel army in the city, it will be easier to attack the city when the time comes.
It's just that Li Jinxing is very skeptical about how much energy these people have.
He said again, and told him that he was done, and let Master Banjie take the initiative to withdraw from the matter and get out. Whatever his friend is doing, don't contact him. Not to protect his safety, but to protect the safety of Kang's bearded party. If the city learns about it, under torture, and encounters Zhou Xingzhi and the like again, any confession can be taken out.
After the instructions, he and An Zhengyu returned to Moufu City with countless goods.
In addition, Li Wei was informed of the situation.
At this time, Li Wei was busy with immigration.
The first batch of goods also arrived in Broken Leaf City, and were immediately sent to the countries in the river, the Tang Dynasty was a golden signboard, but when they saw the goods, the countries could be more assured. Seeing that we did not, we stood up for you and immediately fought the great cannibals, just asking you for food, or in exchange for goods. Is it a teacher of benevolence and righteousness? There is also a large number of goods, which are already very cold and will not arrive until next year.
But as soon as it's cold, there are more things.
Although meticulous arrangements have been made, many accidents have occurred one after another as soon as such a long road, so many post stations, and a large number of immigrants set off. As soon as the weather is cold, the more emergencies there are. At this time, Li Wei really realized the role of civil officials. There is no shortage of generals in the Western Regions at this time, and there are many generals who can handle it. may be a general who can be a martial artist, but it is as rare as a giant panda. Many accidents are caused by the lack of civilian officials.
After thinking about it, weren't Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong demoted? Wei Yuanzhong was relegated to Youzhou as the chief historian, and Li Wenjun, the uncle of Youzhou, had a very ambiguous attitude. So he wrote a book and transferred Wei Yuanzhong from Youzhou to the Western Regions to deal with Anxi and Jinshan affairs with Wang Fangyi. This is also a variant protection. He also asked Liu Renliang to recommend some grassroots officials to come to enrich the Western Regions, especially the middle-level civil servants of Broken Leaves.
But when these people arrive, it will be at least next year.
However, immigration is the focus of Li Wei's work this time, and its role is no less than that of the upcoming Great Food War. Whether the Western Regions can become the real territory of the Tang Dynasty depends on this immigration. Otherwise, the army would have opened Megana and would have quickly been torn apart. Genghis Khan is a good example of this, the territory of Yuan and Mongolia was wider than that of the Soviet Union, but it held on for decades?
This is also a vivid manifestation of the pragmatism of the small citizens in the previous life.
There are many accidents and few civil officials, so I have to be respectful to Wang Fangyi and deal with these trivial affairs every day.
After receiving Li Jinxing's letter, he said lightly: "Okay." ”
Sent a lot of scouts out, planting and harvesting, God knows which scout is useful, which scout is useless, and Moufu City is not Kang Dabeard's scout, there are two scouts, but they don't know each other. But I am also curious in my heart, these people are very bold!
In addition, from various scouts, I also learned a lot of information about Dashi, and in the Sestan and Khorasan regions, Dashi's garrison was about 30,000 to 50,000 people. The number of troops was not much, so he called Wang Fangyi and said, "Wang Duhu, do you see that the strength of Da Shi is less?" ”
It seems to be a contradiction, but it is not a contradiction.
This time, the Tang Dynasty did not have many troops, including the troops in Wang Fangyi's hands, and together they could use no more than 40,000 people. But the union of the Turks with Hezhong and Tocharian is considerable. This battle is mainly based on the annihilation of living forces, and if there are too many, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat them, and if there are too many, it will not be able to play a deterrent role.
I can't make a public book, saying that our Datang is going to fight you to the death, if that's the case, it will attract hundreds of thousands of big food troops, and if you can't eat, you will go around, and even your own army will become a delicious snack for people.
Wang Fangyi hesitated.
The two had different ideas, Wang Fangyi would rather have fewer troops than the emperor to take risks.
Li Wei said again: "Either I will send someone to write a war letter and say to that Salem that our Tang Dynasty opposes the desecration of the Koran by Aweiye and Yezid's father and son, so at the invitation of Abdullah Zobair, we will launch a holy war against Yezid." Let him not be hindered, and help us to march on Damascus. ”
"Jihad?" Wang Fangyi was drinking tea, and after listening to it, he squirted out a sip of tea.
