When Xiao Qu returned to the Anxi camp late at night, he was greeted most warmly by thousands of Zhaowu Jiuguo Dehegan and soldiers waiting at the camp gate.

When he was still more than a mile away from the camp gate, the king of Dongcao, Sheahu, and dozens of Dekhgans met him, knelt down from a distance, and shouted: "Soshyan! Soshyan! ”

Behind them, thousands of soldiers and miscellaneous servants of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu fell to their knees, with religious fanaticism in their eyes, and also shouted loudly: "Soshyan! Soshyan! ”

Xiao Quzhi rode on the horse, staring at the fanatical expressions of everyone, and shouted loudly Soshyan, and he was in a trance. He has been lonely since he was a child, first in the hospital, and then on Wudang Mountain, there are not many people around him to talk to, and he has developed an indifferent and quiet character.

Although influenced by his grandfather and master, Xiao Quzhi has a wild and fearless spirit in his bones, worships heroes, and is eager to charge into battle. But that is only shown during the battle, and in normal times, Xiao Qubing is really a little unaccustomed to such a warm scene.

Xiao Quzhi turned his head and asked Li Ergou what he meant, but he didn't expect Li Ergou to shake his head blankly. Xiao Quzhi jumped off the horse and helped Shea Hu up: "Hurry up, what are you doing?" What does Soshyan mean? ”

Sheahu explained: "Soshyan is the Savior of Zoroastrianism, and there is one in a thousand years. General Xiao shot an arrow into the sky, and as the Zoroastrian teachings say, the comet Gotchhir landed on the earth and ignited a fire...... Although the fire ignited by General Xiao this time is not as big as the doctrine says, it will judge everything, and this is also because General Xiao is not the last Soshyan, so he can only shoot small Gochhir. But in any case, General Xiao is Soshyan who came down from heaven to save all the Zoroastrians! ”

Is that okay? Don't you know that I just lit the fiery oil that the big cannibal put in a wooden box? However, Xiao Qubing was not ready to explain, he knew that the more he explained a blind religious belief, the more he could not explain it, and he could not explain the secret of gunpowder to them.

Xiao Qubing chose neither to admit nor deny, I didn't lie to you, you said it yourself! However, thinking that these Zoroastrian cultists of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms recognized a person who did not believe in Zoroastrianism as a savior, Xiao Quzhi couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Xiao Quzhi held back a smile and said, "You tell them all to get up, I have something to say." ”

Shea Hu hurriedly called the thousands of people kneeling behind him to get up in Sogdian, and thousands of pairs of eyes looked eagerly at Xiao Quai, which made him a little unnatural. Xiao Quzhi took a breath, let his mood slowly calm down, and said very seriously: "I'm not what you said about Soshyan. What I want to tell you is that you are the only one who can save yourself! As you have seen today, there is nothing terrible about the great cannibals who oppress you, and we defeated them with just over 5,000 men, killing thousands of enemies and capturing thousands.

Why can we defeat them so easily, but you can't? It is because you have feared them in your hearts, lost the courage and determination to fight, have been beaten to the point of fear, and are always waiting for someone else to save you! I tell you, the more this happens, you will never be saved! Ahura despises the cowardly, and those who dare not fight against evil will not be saved by the god Ahula. On the contrary, the brave who dare to take up arms to fight evil, even if they die in battle, will end up in heaven! ”

Due to the detailed study of this history, Xiao Quzhi also had a slight understanding of the Zoroastrian religion believed by the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu. Zoroastrianism is also called Zoroastrianism, and their main god, the god of light, is called Ahura, who is the omniscient and all-powerful creator of the universe, and fire is the embodiment of Ahura, so the worship of fire is a manifestation of worshipping God.

A branch of Zoroastrianism later absorbed some of the elements of Christianity and Buddhism to create Manichaeism, which is very familiar to everyone. Although Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism are different in many ways, they both worship light and are dualistic. The so-called dualism is a god of light that represents good, and a god of darkness who represents evil. Good and evil are constantly fighting, and the end is the final victory of good.

Xiao Quzhi believes that Zoroastrianism is a religion that teaches people to constantly fight, but it is clear that this group of people who believed in Zoroastrianism in the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu have been ruled by other regimes for generations, first by Persia, then by the Western Turks, and then by the Great Food and the Turgish, and they have long had no sense of resistance in their bones.

When Ahu translated Xiao Qu's words, thousands of Zhaowu and Jiuguo immediately became excited, and they all screamed, and many people slapped their chests on the mountain, expressing their willingness to follow Marshal Suoshyang Xiao to fight, and never retreat even if they died in battle.

The fanatical atmosphere at the scene infected everyone, Gu Xiaojun, Li Ergou, and Li Anping. Bai Xiaode and others were full of joy. They knew that after this incident, Xiao Qu was sick in the river, and in the minds of the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, the prestige and authority were unmatched!

More importantly, if those people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu can really follow Xiao Qubing to fight to the death as they say, and no longer be as cowardly and afraid of death as they are during the day, then the Anxi Army will have tens of thousands of more soldiers to fight in the middle of the river. Moreover, Xiao Quai's high prestige, after defeating the Great Cannibal, is enough to make the land in the river no longer have turmoil within a few years.

After this battle, on the afternoon of the next day, the Great Eclipse and Posilin actually sent a team of envoys, waving white flags, to the camp of Anxi to sue for peace. In this way, Xiao Quzhi's already high prestige has undoubtedly improved a lot again.

"Cheng Gong, what did you say about Bo Xilin's idea?" In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Qubing asked Duan Xiushi's opinion.

Originally, Duan Xiushi was the commander of this partial division, and Xiao Quai's military division, in fact, all kinds of general affairs in the army, eating, sleeping, standing guard, and marching were all arranged by Duan Xiushi, and Xiao Quai's illness belonged to the role of students.

But who called Xiao Quai's performance yesterday was too brilliant, and then he charged in front of him alone but no one could stop him, and his prestige instantly surpassed Duan Xiushi, and many people regarded Xiao Qubing as the coach. Another point is that they really thought that Xiao Qubing was the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and Duan Xiushi and Gu Xiaojun knew the truth, and they didn't say anything.

Duan Xiushi said with a smile: "Fuchen, you are familiar with the inside story of Dashi, but you came to ask me. ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "Anyway, I don't believe that Bo Xilin will really make peace. ”

"Why?"

"And Posilin has been defeated again and again, but it has not hurt the roots, and so far they have to surpass us in battle. In the past few years, there have been no less than 100 battles, and now this black-clothed eater was almost defeated by the Khorasan religious warriors of the Posilin. As the first contributor to the establishment of the Black Clothed Food, Posilin's prestige is so high, how difficult it is for him to start from a slave and step by step to such a high position! How can they easily talk about failure and admit defeat easily? ”

"If this is the case, he must have sent people to sue for peace as a means of delaying the army, or secretly transferring troops to prepare for another battle; or paralyze us, and he strikes again; Or come to find out the truth of our army. ”

"In this case, let's take the tricks one by one, just play with them and see who has played whom."
