Since the beginning of the rainy season, the Seljuk country in Central Asia, although it does not have the rainy climate of the southern world, where the sun does not appear for several months, but once it is encountered, although it is short, it is always a heavy downpour that makes people feel bad. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info facing the dazzling sun after the rain, the horse's hooves continue to trample on the rain-soaked potholed road, Morrissey's mood sitting on horseback, I am afraid can only be described as sad, since he fled from Mulu City, Allah Allah seems to have stopped bless him, especially on the way from Apiveld City to Baghdad, after the encounter with Zhang Qing, his mother, his woman, his children, except for Oriandin who is still by his side, everyone else has been captured by the Song army, and now, two months later, I am afraid, they are already more auspicious。 Morrissey covered his chest that was still aching with one hand, pulled the reins of the horse with the other, and kept shaking his injured body as he sat down and walked with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

This place is called Malagah, which is a small city in the territory of the Seljuk Turkic State, which arose because of its proximity to a lake called Urumiyah in the current Persian State, and the city of Maragah, which has developed fisheries, is a little backward in other aspects, and it is not so much a city as it is a relatively large, very convenient town, with wooden walls and gates, which cannot stop the footsteps of any army attack.

Morrissey did not go to Baghdad, but chose to come to the Malagah region in the opposite direction, because when he went to Baghdad, he met a lot of refugees going north, he heard those refugees say that a large number of warships of the Song Empire appeared on the surface of the Tigris River, Basra City, Baghdad City, and even Sumor City have all fallen, so Morrissey had to temporarily change the route and go to the north, maybe in the north, his country may still have a glimmer of life, maybe you will ask, it's time for it, Why didn't Morrissey go back to his new capital, Constantinople, because Morrissey himself seemed to be aware of a problem, the warships of the Song army had appeared on the surface of the Tigris River, so would there be no warships of the Song army on the surface of the Euphrates, and the upper reaches of the Euphrates River ran through the entire Seljuk Kingdom from north to south, and now even if he advanced to Constantinople, he was afraid that he would collide with the Song army on the river, so Morrissey had to drag his injured body to the city of Maragah.

"His Royal Highness Crown Prince Oriandin, His Majesty's body has been deteriorating day by day, since the last encounter with the enemy's ghost cavalry, His Majesty the Sultan has been seriously injured, and the Empress Dowager Guerhan has become a princess, the princess and the princes were all captured by the general of the Song State named Zhang Qing, at that time His Majesty the Sultan was already like ashes, if he was not the Sultan of this country, I am afraid he would have already left." While the doctor in the army examined Morrissi, Sabrahei spoke to Oriandin outside the room.

Oriandin held the sword at his waist with one hand, his big hand grasped the hilt tightly, the green tendons in his hand jumped, and said to Sabrahe: "We can't do this anymore, we must shake off the enemy's pursuit as quickly as possible, and before the enemy encircles us, return to Asia Minor, back to Constantinople, where we still have at least 100,000 elite troops waiting for us, and the Song people are on an expedition here, and there is no common base, and we are a legitimate royal family, as long as we work hard, You can definitely fight the enemy to the end. ”

"What about the Empress Dowager and the princess, the lord, and the princes? Do you abandon them? ”

"After such a long time, I am afraid that they are all already very lucky, forget it, let them all die for the country and return to Allah's side." Oriandin lowered his head and said to Sabrahei with no expression at all.

Sabrajan didn't answer Oriondin's words, and both of them seemed to fall silent.

I don't know how long it took, the military doctor walked out of the room, and when Oriandin saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is my father?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty's old injuries have not healed, he has been drenched in heavy rain, and after a bumpy journey, he has been suffering from a high fever all the time, convulsions, and constant vomiting, this should be acute meningitis, and his mind is now a little unclear, but this city may not have such suitable medicinal materials, and the medicine we accompany the army, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach His Majesty's illness, so, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should prepare for His Majesty's future." After the Seljuk royal doctor who accompanied the army finished speaking, he gently stroked Oriandin's chest and exited the place that had been converted into a temporary palace.

"O'...... Allah...... Allah ...... "No sooner had the royal physician left than Morrissi's weak voice could be heard in the room.

"His Highness Oriondin, he heard our conversation." Sabrahim said.

Oriandin didn't answer the words of Sabura, pushed open the door and walked into the room quickly, looking at his father lying on the sickbed, now he had no majesty that a sultan should have, sunken eyes, gray hair, and a haggard face, like a withered tree, ready to leave this world at any time.

"Father." Oriandin stepped forward quickly, knelt gently beside his father, and gently took his hand.

"Allah, forgive me my sins......

"Father, don't do this, we still have a chance, we haven't lost yet." Oriandin said with relief to Morrissy.

Morrissey trembled and raised his hand, touched Oriandin's face and said weakly: "Oriandin, my son, I am no longer good, Allah is already calling me, Oriandin, I am free, all the suffering I left behind, but you have to bear it, I am not a good father." ”

"No, father, I am proud of you as my father." Oriandin held back tears from his eyes and said to Oriandin strongly.

"My son, from this day onwards you are the Sultan of the Seljuks, lead our people, live well, I want, go, Allah, it's gone." After Morrissey said this, the hand that caressed Oriandin's face fell heavily, a king of a great empire, ended his life so aggrieved, maybe he didn't know that after his death, there was not even a decent coffin, only the lake surrounded, the breeze blowing, with the fall of a torch, this raft carrying the most exploits of the Seljuk kingdom, slowly floated to the center of the lake, fire, reflecting his desolation, and as for the merits and demerits of Morrissey Sultan, I'm afraid that only future generations will comment.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?" Sabulahim asked Orianddin, who had just been inaugurated as Sultan of the Seljuk State.

Without a solemn and accurate enthronement ceremony, and without the cheers and applause of the people, Oriandin was appointed to become the new Sultan of the Seljuk Kingdom. And His Majesty Sultan Oriandin, who had just ascended the throne as Sultan of the Seljuk State, said to his imperial general Sabrahel: "As I have already said, we must return to Constantinople as quickly as possible, where there are more than 100,000 elite troops in our country, and all the towns on the west bank of the Euphrates River may not have been touched by the Song people, so we must rush across the Euphrates River and return to Asia Minor before the Song people besiege us. Let's go right away. ”

Before the Song army came to the Maragay area, Oriandine quickly followed his army with his heart, and took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to quickly pass through the source of the Euphrates River and gallop towards Constantinople, and when the Song army's navy cruising at the source of the Euphrates River reacted, Oleandine had already taken his army away.

Similarly, since Morrissey gave up a large area of land in the eastern part of his country, the advance speed of the Song army was significantly faster, and even some cities saw the arrival of the Song army, so all the land east of Isfahan City that originally belonged to the Seljuk State has now become the territory of the Song Empire, so in Isfahan City, Zhao Xu held the largest court meeting on the construction and management of the newly occupied land since the beginning of the war.
