Strategically bold forward, tactically conservative and cautious. {This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

At the beginning of April, the main army of Fujian gathered under the city of Qunu, but until the middle of April, the 150,000 army was still training and running-in, and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from all sides continued to rush to the vicinity of the city under the mobilization of the imperial court.

A large number of Tianzhu laborers joined, replacing the original Tang labor, and because of Li Jie's victory, the social status of the Tang people improved a lot, almost every household in Tianzhu had land, and they could hire locals to cultivate and support themselves, so the Tang class really turned into Kshatriya, and a small part joined the regular army, and most of them also trained hard under the gathering of Zhichong Mansion.

Especially under the crisis consciousness instilled by the imperial court, the Tang people who have got a good life are training more and more hard to ensure that they get everything in their hands, and the beautiful life of Tianzhu continues to attract immigrants from the Central Plains.

The gathered soldiers from all over the country were 160,000, plus the remaining Tianzhu soldiers totaling nearly 300,000, but this part of the force was not used for conquest, but was divided into various places within a radius of 100 miles from Qunu City and the back roads of the standing army of Fujian.

There are many sons of the Guanlong Central Plains family in the army, and the military traditions of the Northern Dynasties are particularly well preserved by them, with the support of the Tang people who support them, plus most of the young and strong people of Tianzhu have been withdrawn, Li Jie is confident that the rear will be foolproof when he sends troops to war, but everything is in place, and these days the officials of the Min State find that their King Min seems to be a little uneasy.

In the north of the city, the original Brahmin temple has now changed its name, the Persian royal palace, which is very vindictive. The state of Fujian canonized Yi Si Ei III as the governor of Persia, but Li Jie was more generous than the Persians, and gave him a thousand brocade silk horses, 20,000 yuan, thousands of gold and silver coins, plus two mansions, mixed with a number of slaves of spies, and an additional, two pounds of gold!

Holding a large gold nugget, the high priest of the Jacket Sect really couldn't cry or laugh.

In addition, the Fujian State also allocated funds to build a Zoroastrian temple, anyway, the religion of the Min State was chaotic enough, and the ancient Roman lesson Li Jie would never allow the unity of religion in the territory to affect the royal power, even if it was a civil war, it was not worse than the Zoroastrians.

However, the Zoroastrian religion, which is busy recruiting believers, is depressed for a day today, and there is a sentry outside the temple at five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry, and the flies ordered by the fierce Janissaries cannot fly in, for no other reason, the king of Min has come to visit Zoroastrianism.

One of the oldest religions, Zoroastrianism can even be traced back to the beginning of human civilization, the Assyrian Empire in Asia Minor, after thousands of years of development, the doctrine has become more and more perfect, especially after the Persian three dynasties as the state religion, the Sassanid Dynasty originated from the Jacket religion, and it is the unity of government and religion, Zoroastrianism has experienced years of development, and the doctrine still has some merits.

Different from Christianity, Islam enshrines absolute monotheism, and Zoroastrianism implements a dualistic system, believing that the world is the product of the struggle between good and evil, and fire is the embodiment of good gods, and the holy flame can never be extinguished.

Tianzhu's caste system is famous for later generations, but in fact, people don't know that Tianzhu's caste originated in Persia, and the caste system of the Persian Empire was more severe than Tianzhu.

However, Li Jie didn't come here to see what the thousand-year-old holy flame looked like, even if the soul passed through, he still didn't believe in the existence of gods, in the secret room, in a large group of Zoroastrian sacrifices looking at each other, Li Jie directly took out the broken jade seal fragments and asked, "What is this thing?" ”

Seeing that there were actually three pieces of milky white pieces, the high priest of the Jacket Sect, Valdabo, was visibly shocked, and only after a moment did he start a quick and chaotic conversation with the many priests.

In order to gain a foothold in Tianzhu and gain the favor of the new ruler, a group of priests were also very hard, consulting ancient books on the spot, and holding a discussion meeting, for a long time, the high priest returned to Li Jie and bent down respectfully.

"Your Royal Highness, this thing appeared in Persia during Alexander the Great's expedition to the west, but it was only annihilated in history in a flash, and this piece contributed to His Highness appeared more than ten years ago.

Seeing that Li Jie was thinking deeply, for fear that Li Jie would misunderstand that he had contributed malice to him, Valdabo hurriedly muttered a lot of Persian in a hurried tone: "Your Highness, but this thing itself does not mean that it is ominous, the elders believe that this thing is a fragment of time given to the world by the good god Hudara, because in history, there was a sacrifice that cut his hand and sacrificed with blood, successfully predicted the defeat of the Battle of Gaugamela, and this thing can bring the blessing and happiness of the good god, and even encountered a great tragedy, The sacrifice in the ancient book is still no sorrow or joy. ”

The Battle of Gaugamela was a decisive battle that once decided the fate of the Central Asian dynasty, in that battle, Alexander's phalanx of more than 40,000 to 50,000 Macedonian completely defeated the main force of the Persian army of millions and entered Babylon.

Without saying a word, Li Jie rolled up the stone and turned to leave, watching the young emperor leave, and the high priest of the Yuan Sect was worried again, for fear that the story he had just brought to the Lord of Tianzhu would have a bad impression.

In the past month, the war report of Punjab has increased a few points, the movement of the Arab army is very strange, there is more than one Himalayan pass, several times the big cannibal cavalry has entered Punjab from other places, burning and looting in the land of Tianzhu, and the king of Punjab has said that he wants to go back to defend his hometown, but he was stopped by Xi Junmai.

Mohenjo Daro is located in the largest Himalayan gap, no road is as important as here, once the big cannibal enters through the foothills of the Himalayas elsewhere, he can guard this place at will by detouring to the west side of the Himalayas to block the back road of the big cannibal, cut off supplies, even if there are more cannibals, they are vulnerable.

The only thing to worry about is that the whole army of the Great Cannibals is concentrated in the decisive battle of the fortress of Mohenjo Daro, this place is dangerous, but the coalition army has just experienced a defeat, 60,000 people are disheartened, and many scouts have witnessed the army of the Great Cannibal Country, no less than 200,000, so it is inevitable to send troops to help the panicked Punjab, and after understanding the source of this thing, Li Jie hurried to the military camp again.

Tomorrow will be the day of the army.

This time, the elite of the Fujian State came out, and Li Jie, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, also took away most of them, and today it was necessary to make the final arrangements, Luantai ordered Laiji to check all aspects of the grain supply back and forth, and to test the front army of Yaoglu, the Chinese army Min Wang Tielin, the left and right military guards of the left and right wings, the left and right Weiwei, the marching route of the left and right Xiaowei, and the rear army several guards, whether the command of the huge supply force was smooth, and how to respond to emergencies, Xue Qing, Su Dingfang, Li Yexu and other generals were busy sweating.

"Where's Lao Liu?" After testing his army for a long time, Li Jie suddenly remembered that Scar Liu, who had always been the most babbling and loud voice, was not here, and couldn't help but ask in wonder, listening to Li Jie's question, Qu Nucheng stayed behind, but Li Jingye shook his head with a wry smile, and replied: "Your Highness, General Liu's mood is very wrong these days, after practicing the Punjab mercenary corps for a few days, he went headlong into the third street, and he hasn't reported to the military department for half a month. ”

Surprised, Li Jie himself couldn't help but pat his head depressedly, this guy didn't catch up in the last big war, and this time he left him in the rear in the national war, no wonder this guy with a head full of muscles can't think about it.

"General Liu is like this, the boss is personal, and the child has a temper, but Liu Qing is still unambiguous in business, but Li Qing has to work a lot more to work on cooperation."

Li Jie can't help it, in the huge Fujian Kingdom, there are not many people he trusts the most, among the military attachés, Xi Jun buys one, Sheng Wenjian who follows him counts as one, Jiao Laosan used to be, and then Scar Liu, even Li Jingye He was also from a family and joined halfway, Li Jie left with the army, and Qu Nucheng needed a truly trustworthy general to stay behind as the rear.

Scar Liu and his Punjabi army naturally became the best candidates, Scar Liu's loyalty, Punjab mercenaries are quite strong in combat, and they have nothing to do with any Central Plains families, local Brahmins, and nobles, and the stability of the rear is sometimes more important than the front line.

Listening to Li Jie's distinction, Li Jingye also had to nod depressedly: "King Min is serious, and he will cooperate well with General Scar Liu in the end." ”

The drill of the legion lasted until the evening, so many days, the army of Fujian has also become a scene in the city of Qunu, as the army returned to the camp, a large number of nobles and people also slowly dispersed back to the camp, Li Jie and Changsun Zhi also returned to the palace under the escort of the guards, but his trouble is not over, in order to go on the expedition, some are copywriters who need to decide.

Or in the study of King Min, a few Changxin Palace lamps are swaying, and they plunge into the pile of copywriting, Li Jiezhen is as desperate as making up for holiday homework, stacks of documents are constantly being reviewed and thrown aside, and I don't know how many times the lamps have been changed, the night is thick, and a large number of official documents are over.

Lazily taking advantage of the lazy waist, Li Jie found that the cordyceps soup sent by Pei Ying was already cold, and shook his head with a wry smile, Li Jie still took a drink and drank it all, just patted his stomach comfortably, and a thought came to his mind.

"Shouldn't we take a look at Lao Liu, what kind of moth did this wild cow in the province make when Lao Tzu is away?" In fact, I have wanted to go to this thing for a long time, but I have been delayed by the training of soldiers and horses and the strange fragments in my arms, pinching my chin and thinking for a moment, Li Jie casually summoned the leader of the Janissary Guard, Hei Fang, who had slept in a daze.

"Lao Hei, prepare the carriage and horses, and go to General Zuo Xiaowei's mansion."

A team of people was temporarily summoned, and Li Jie was ready to drive Li Jie out of the palace, but before he could step out of the courtyard, the sad Secretary Xiao rushed over with a tragic face.

"Your Highness is slow, Tocao Jushu Pallava asked to see him, and the Brahmin held a prayer meeting for His Highness's westward journey, hoping that His Highness would come."

"Tell him he's not available." Li Jie waved his hand and refused, although the brahmin let himself repair it almost honestly, can these guys really do it for their own good? That's weird! After the Tang people became the masters, hundreds of thousands of Brahmins in Tianzhu shrank to more than 100,000, and the land was ten gone*, and even more Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism drank Red Bull plus a Zoroastrian religion to grab territory. The Cursed Assembly is pretty much the same.

However, as soon as he got into the carriage, the heavy feeling in Leng Buding's chest made Li Jie stunned again, the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, and Persia all have this kind of jade fragments, Tianzhu, and the Brahmin Church will not have them?

In a flash of inspiration, Li Jie changed his mind again, and waved his hand at Secretary Xiao, who was full of depression and walked back: "Come back, tell Pallava, come to see me in the lonely study." ”

"Don't play with such a sneaky person!" Seeing that the lord, who was more fickle than a woman, got out of the car and returned to the study, and hurried all the way, Xiao Qijulang couldn't help complaining depressedly, and hurriedly ran to the gate of the palace to give an edict.

After passing the layers of guard inspections, after a lot of troubles, Pallava can be regarded as in front of the King of Min, looking at the swaying lights of the Tang Dynasty architectural model study, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and then quickly turned into a flattering smile, as soon as he bent over, Pallava respectfully entered the study and fell to the ground.

"Meet the Supreme King of kings!".
