The war against the Great Food Nation was, to a certain extent, a religious war. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not enough to seize the land, but also to win the hearts and minds of the people and turn their religious beliefs to Buddhism and Taoism in the East.

Taoism is a native religion in the East, as long as it is an authentic Tang people, has received many years of traditional education and the influence of folk customs, it is still easy to understand what "Tao" is.

The simplest example is that everyone should worship the god of the stove before the Spring Festival, so the Tang people use caramel to worship the god of the stove to make his old man sweet and sweet, just to say good things.

And the god of the stove is the god of Taoism, and if you worship the god of the stove, you will come into contact with the meaning of the Tao.

But for the new people, Taoism is still a bit unsuitable, but Buddhism shows its talents.

Therefore, according to the need, Wei Xi changed himself into the incarnation of the Great Trend to the Bodhisattva in seconds, and widely publicized the Great Trend to the Bodhisattva and propagated Buddhism by the way.

The congregation consisted mainly of those under his command who ate the communal meals, and then the newly converted people.

In fact, it is to replace the god believed in by the Great Cannibal with the Great Trend Bodhisattva, and the hardship of this war is no less than that of conquering the land of the Great Food Country.

The people need faith, so give them faith!

In order to promote the belief of the Bodhisattva, Wei Xi did everything he could, sometimes even whimsically.

For example, collect all the Colorful Bodhisattvas to get a gold medal for avoiding death in the slaughter of the city!

The small statue of the Bodhisattva has seven colors: red, orange, green, blue, indigo, black and white, as long as he collects enough seven, his family can avoid death!

These little bodhisattvas were thrown into the city with trebuchets when the Tang army was attacking the city, and a large number of them were thrown into the city, which naturally made the upper echelons of the Great Food Army deeply hateful, and ordered that whoever dared not to hand in the city would be forced to do hard labor!

Moreover, among the seven kinds of Bodhisattvas, the "explosion rate" of black and white Bodhisattvas is low, and it is not easy to collect all seven kinds of Bodhisattva statues. (The city is full of seven death-free bodhisattvas, how can they spend a difference)

As a result, the famous "Bayi" lord in the city, he secretly collected seven kinds of small Bodhisattva statues, which came in handy when the Tang army broke the city!

The hard work paid off, and he spent a lot of money to collect seven kinds of Bodhisattva statues according to what the Tang people said!

At that time, some rich people in the city were still laughing at him for collecting these seven little bodhisattvas at all costs, and now, it was Bayi's turn to breathe a sigh of relief!

The Tang people admit it!

Covered in blood and holding a sharp knife in his hand, the Tang man stopped when he saw the seven Bodhisattvas he was holding in his hand!

Then they went to call people, and an officer who knew the goods came and identified the Bodhisattva as real or fake.

Luckily, the officer smiled at Bayi!

With a wave of his hand, all the soldiers withdrew from the room with him, and not only that, but two soldiers were sent to stand guard so that the house would not be attacked.

After all, someone really collected the seven Bodhisattvas, that is, they had fate and heart, and of course they had to give face.

……

In addition to saving the lives of his family (some close friends and relatives also brought property to his men), he was favored by the garrison and asked him to lead the poor people of Beicheng and contribute to the Tang army.

The poor have little knowledge and ability, and Bayi can become a huge wealth, so he naturally has a level.

Wise, he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and actively moved closer to the "two provinces", and the family all adopted Chinese names, learned Chinese, wore Tang clothes, and believed in Buddhism.

Even the descendants of his family, who came out with two jinshi (actually a quota to take care of remote areas), became upstarts.

……

In the great cause of the Eastern Army's conquest of the West, many people were killed, and many wealthy families sank, but there were also people like Lord Bayi and Hu Da and others who rose up and got great benefits, especially those cities that surrendered in time, the original government was retained, as long as they showed loyalty, it was inevitable that the governor would get rich.

……

The Wei Xi camp in Shattered Leaf City had not yet packed their bags, and they expected to arrive in Isfahan a week after the start of the war.

Then, less than a week later, the news of the capture of Isfahan was received, and the progress was not unpleasant!

Wei Xi happily looked at the battle report: first attacked with fire, then broke the city, and with the help of the "fifth column", he successfully took Isfahan.

Heavy losses were avoided, and even chemical bombs were not used.

In the war report, Fan Wuxian pointed out: "...... Our army continues to put pressure on the enemy, creating a favorable situation of internal and external cooperation! ”

So Wei Xi criticized it above: "Kill chickens with knives, cause the enemy to expose flaws, and achieve our army!" ”

He has a "study class", and after learning this combat example, the senior generals will lead the troops later, preferring heavy assaults and rapid firepower, which will make the enemy miserable.

However, in doing so, the money also flowed in an uproar, and the quartermaster and the financial officer had very opinions.

Wei Xi said: "As long as the person is fine, it doesn't matter if you spend more money!" ”

It's really good, there is hope for some people, and all possibilities are possible for some people!

Wei Xi's people-oriented policy has been richly rewarded, the western expedition was successfully completed, and the number of dead and wounded was low, I have to say that this is a great miracle!

……

Defeat Isfahan, for the Western Army is a great benefit, to the west, along the way there are no Xiongcheng to resist the pace of the Western Army, low towns to resist the Western Army proficient in siege is powerless, therefore, the Great Food Army retreated all the way, the personnel, materials are concentrated in the two river basins, wing with the help of the Great River and the danger of Xiongguan, to recover the current decline.

They can't go back, and if they go back, it's Damascus, it's the Arabian Peninsula!

The two river basins have a large population, and they are the land of fish and rice, or the barrier of the white-clothed food, which must not be missed.

Therefore, in front of the Western Army is the heavy army group of the Great Food Army, they have cobbled together 100,000 elite cavalry with Arab horses, 200,000 ordinary cavalry, 200,000 elite infantry and 300,000 defenders, known as a million army!

Scattered in the area of the two river basins, waiting for the arrival of the Western Army.

They will face Wang Xiaojie's 80,000 cavalry and Fan Wuxian, Parrot's 300,000 cavalry and Wei Xi's 50,000 cavalry, Wei Xi's army is only half of the opponent's army, but Wei Xi's army is highly moraled, and the Great Food Army is worried.

"Although they have many troops, they have very few soldiers who can fight!" Chief of Staff Jiang Shi analyzed the situation based on the intelligence of the enemy and us.

The number of troops that can be used is 100,000 cavalry of Arab horses and 200,000 well-equipped infantry, and every soldier of the Tang Army is top-notch, don't look at the number of cannibals, it is all a dish.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Western Army and the Great Cannibals confronted each other on both sides of the Tigris River, and the cavalry of the Western Army came out of the front of less than 50,000, and the Great Cannibals who confronted them had 500,000 but did not dare to cross the river, so they could not give the Western Army a major threat, and sat back and watched the main force of the Western Army infantry besiege the city of Abadan!
