Leaving the city of Athens, returning to the sea, looking at the port that gradually became smaller in the field of vision, it would be called the port of Piraeus in later generations, and at this time Lao Luo never seemed to have heard of Mussos mention, maybe there was no specific name at this time, maybe Mussos felt that there was nothing to introduce.

Crossing the entire Aegean Sea from west to east, Lao Luo has the impression that the straight-line distance of this sea surface is only about 300 kilometers, if it is not for the many islands in the sea, according to the speed of these three merchant ships, it will only take about three or four days. Lao Luo couldn't help but ask Messos, "Hey, Messos, why don't you run this route so often?" ”

"Because there are so many Abbasids here," says Messos, "I don't like the Abbasids, my grandfather died in the war with them." ”

"Oh, then it's all the more important to do more business with the Abbasids, make all their gold, and make them destitute." Lao Luo joked with a smile.

"Oh, that's a great idea!" Mussos exclaimed, "Do as you say, Bartol, and I'm going to make all the Abbasids' gold." ”

Of course, few cared if this goal was achieved, but it is certain that the Abbasids were not well impressed by the people on board. Li Ji, who was in the same boat as Lao Luo, also had this attitude, "Third brother, the Abbasids are very hateful, especially their officials are insatiable. ”

"Well, what's the other situation, you tell me." Lao Luo did not know much about the country on the west coast of the Aegean Sea, but he knew that this side was once the country of the Abbasids, belonging to the Shia sect of Islam in Illiran, according to the history he knew, the Abbasid kingdom was established for about 200 years to the period in which he lived, and the original history was destroyed by the Mongols in the middle of the thirteenth century, but he did not understand what happened in the middle.

"Third brother, the rule of the Abbasids in Baghdad is not stable, and Hamdan in the north has rebelled and established a kingdom called Hamdan, calling himself the emir," Li Ji explained what she knew in as much detail as possible, maybe it would be helpful to the man in front of her, she didn't want this man to think that she was just a reckless woman with a beautiful face, "The Green Yi Great Food in the south, that is, the Fatimid kingdom, is attacking it, and the Western Qin, that is, the Byzantine Empire, is busy conquering Bulgaria, and it is estimated that Hamdan will not be able to hold on for long." ”

"Well, Siniang, you know it in detail," Lao Luo stared at the woman in front of him, he really didn't expect this bold girl to have such a delicate mind, and she also has such knowledge, which is estimated to be rare in this era. Although this girl had followed him to Athens for some time, the two of them rarely had such opportunities to communicate, and Lao Luo couldn't help asking, "But how do you know this?" ”

"My teacher, she is a Western Qin who married the Abbasids," Li Ji said directly, "It's a pity that her husband died in battle, and she didn't want to be spied on by others, so she hid in the artisan camp." ”

"So you learned Greek with her? And these things? Lao Luo continued with Li Ji's topic.

"Yes, three... Third brother, do you hate women being educated? Li Ji raised her head a little shyly and asked Lao Luo, "Many clansmen say that women can't get married after learning too many things." ”

"Hehe, Siniang......" Although Lao Luo has been mixed in the army for many years and has never been exposed to such a thing as love, he can still see that the woman in front of him likes him, and he doesn't know how to behave, so he just smiled stupidly, "Who said that women can't be educated?" If I think it's the opposite, women need to learn more things in order to be better at home. ”

"Third brother, you really don't object to me learning these knowledge?" After all, Li Ji is still a hot girl, and this question is almost full of heart.

"Well, if you like it, you can learn it well, and you can help me in the future." Lao Luo's crisp and straightforward words directly made Li Ji's heart skip a beat, and she suddenly heard Lao Luo continue: "Siniang, you continue to talk about things in the east." ”

"Well, ...... in the east" Li Ji came to his senses for a long time, this guy was signaling that he wanted to learn more things and help him in the future...... Li Ji's face turned even redder, fortunately, she hadn't forgotten what Lao Luo asked, "In the east, the artisan battalion is not strictly controlled now, otherwise my uncle and I would not be able to come out, in fact, the artisan battalion is still nominally under the Abbasids, but in fact it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Drametes." Well, it seems that the king of the Draemites is called what the Emir of Buye. ”

Hearing this, Lao Luo remembered, it seems that there is such a thing, in the later period of the Abbasid Kingdom, the rebellion in various places was very serious, so that the kingdom caliph could only control the area near Baghdad, and there were rebellions in other places, and it was impossible to control it at all, and there was a group called the Delem on the coast of the Caspian Sea who established a Buye dynasty, which was later destroyed by the Seljuks.

Lao Luo then asked: "Listening to what Siniang said, this Buye Emir is actually not very powerful, is there any big force around?" ”

"The Samanid kingdom of the Persians with a hooked nose in the north was wiped out by the Turks two years ago," Li Ji tried hard to recall recent events, thought about it and said: "Also, I heard that the Ghaznavid kingdom of the Turks has broken away from the Samanid kingdom, and they still occupy Samarkand. ”

"That is to say, the Persians raised tigers, and as a result, the Turkic lords overthrew the Persians." Lao Luo clarified his thoughts a little, Ghaznavid was Ghazni, a city in the southeast of Afghanistan that later belonged to Afghanistan, and he understood this.

"I heard that yes, there are also people who say that the Turks want to unify the whole tribe in the east and then build a great empire." Li Ji recalled the news she had heard, "There are some bastards with Turkic blood in the artisan camp, and they want to draw everyone over there. ”

"Hehe, the Turks' hands are stretched out long enough," Lao Luo sneered disdainfully, "It seems that the Tang Dynasty didn't subdue them in the first place." ”

"Third brother, you can't say this in the artisan camp," Li Ji said with some concern.

"It's okay, Siniang, isn't this chatting with you," Lao Luo looked at this hot woman, and said in his heart how rampant this Turkic people should be, and how powerful they should be in the craftsman camp, which makes you so worried, "Siniang, you know me, you will definitely be sure to do things, don't worry." ”

Li Ji looked at the tall man in front of him, although the ship was still rocking under his feet, his heart seemed to have never been stable, and on that night in Constantinople, he only felt that this guy in front of him was very powerful and mysterious. At sea and in Athens, she gradually realized how knowledgeable and industrious this man was, and she could not help but feel a great confidence in returning to her homeland.

Seeing that the time is spring, this time in the Aegean Sea is not frightened, but the sea surface is constantly islands and reefs, the fleet often has to pay attention to these, although the ships of this era have a shallow draft, but the resistance to the reef is also very poor.

There are actually quite a few ships coming and going on this route, and you can often see three rows of ships with oblique sails in the Fatimid style, Lao Luo remembered the experience of the sea from Mombasa to Suez City, the interests of the religious expansion of the Arabs, but the internal thinking has never been unified, and the sectarian disputes are continuous, which shows that careerists have never been less in any country.

More than 200 years ago, the Battle of Hengros coincided with the Anshi Rebellion, and since then the country has been in turmoil and has stopped the pace of the westward expedition. And the Abbasid kingdom was not plagued by civil strife? The forcible expansion of religion has brought about an unstable foundation, and although it has a large territory, it has become a burden that drags it back.

During the Wars of Hengrus, although the Grolu and Tiele defected to the Abbasids, they did not gain much. After the Abbasid civil strife, these wall grasses had a chance to recuperate. By now, it is estimated that the eastern part of the Abbasid kingdom has become too big to lose, and it is time for these Turkic guys to bite the Arabs in turn.

Lao Luo didn't have a good impression of the Turks, and when Lao Luo had not yet arrived at the international peacekeeping force, he was stationed in Western Xinjiang, and there were always some pretentious guys looking for trouble in the frontier, so that his special forces were like firefighters fighting fires, and they couldn't stop. Of course, the things of the later generations are always not so simple, and it is difficult to explain clearly in one or two sentences, but the guys who came out are all these so-called Turkic descendants.

Looking at the waves breaking on both sides, under the undisturbed sea surface in the distance, who knows how many undercurrents there are? Under the mask of peace in later generations, there are not always frequent disputes, the earth is such a big stage, various countries or forces are constantly fighting, for the sake of interests or dignity, how many struggles are hidden behind peace.

Compared with the hidden secrets of later generations, the world in front of me is still very simple, at least there is no kind of excitement where multiple forces are mixed together, most of them are just two or three countries or ethnic groups in the game, but it is the best place for Lao Luo, a martial artist, to play.

Breaking with wisdom, according to Lao Luo's habits in the army, he still feels that it is too draining, and it may not have much effect, this era is far more believed in force than later generations, so use force to break force? It seems that their preparations for armed forces need to be strengthened again, and the existing forces at hand are not safe to ensure a small-scale conflict, but if they go east, the cavalry of thousands of people will be clashed at every turn, and it will not be solved by the forces in front of them.

All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. Lao Luo has never been a passive waiter, when he came out of Mombasa, he knew that in this era, it is true that it is possible to be quiet for a while, but it also means that everything cannot be done as you like, and when the waves sweep by, I am afraid that the people around you will not even be able to guarantee their lives. Although he Lao Luo never thought that one day he would be an emperor and a general, he was not willing to be forced to do things like a wild dog, and it was better to be his primitive savage in East Africa, so he would strive to work hard to be good to the world.
