“…… Sadigh, if you live, you will be too much of a threat to my Datang. If you live, the kingdom of Hu Da will not perish...... So, I'm going to kill you, I can't wait too long...... I kept your life for the time being because I felt sorry...... It's a pity, you're not a Tang ......"

“……”

Looking at the Sage, Ma Xuan said slowly.

All the rhetoric is just to make Jafar. Sadiq believes in the importance of his life.

Before leaving the carriage, Ma Lu personally chained Jafar. Sadigh re-tied himself and said "I'm sorry." After he left, the great Jafar. Sadiq sat in the carriage, looking extremely gloomy, and no longer had the slightest doubt about his greatness and importance.

What this Tang general said was extremely impressive, and his understanding of the Great Food had reached an astonishing level.

If he is not the enemy's general, he is also a profound and wise man in the Great Food Country. For his words, Jafar. Sadiq was completely convinced.

Since one's own survival is so important to Allah, one must try to survive even if he is humble.

There is hope only after you live, and if you choose to die, it is a betrayal of Allah.

As a devout Muslim, the son of Haojie Ali, he would not allow himself to commit betrayal. So in any case, he can't die.

"Even if I am asked to kneel down and pray to the enemy, I will try to live. For the sake of the Great Food, for the sake of Allah...... "Listen to the sound of horses' hooves in your ears, Jafar. Sadiq thought to himself.

……

There are not many people in the Anxi army who can understand the Arabic language, so now in the Anxi army. Not many people know what Ma Lan thinks. Last night across the trench and Jafar. Sadigh's conversations. The generals just sighed at the greatness of the generals. But I don't know what the general said. The killers didn't bother to ask what was going on, and Ma Lan didn't bother to tell them.

Leave Jafar. In the carriage where Sadiq was, Ma Lu's face was full of relaxed smiles. Yang Youniang looked at him and knew that things were going well, and she admired her husband a little more.

At this moment, Ma Lu was naturally extremely happy, he was basically sure that Jafar. Sadiq will definitely not look for a short-sightedness, and there is this lighthouse in the Anxi army. When they reached the city of Isfahan, Ibrahim could not retreat.

Even if Ibrahim wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head, he couldn't help it. The elite warriors under his command all looked down on Jafar. Sadigh's status as a mentor and spiritual leader of the Shiites is definitely not just talk.

At this time, the army had penetrated deep into the heart of Isfahan Province, and even at the current marching speed, it was only half a month's journey from Isfahan City.

The army continued to advance, closing in on Isfahan. There were still Persian Dehgans who came to vote, but the Persian warriors brought in fewer and fewer people.

These Persian Dehgans were all subordinates of the governor of Isfahan. The governor of Isfahan Province was an Arabian, so these people did not really surrender, so they naturally had no interest in confronting the Tang at this time, but the Mawaris in their territory were captured by the governor of Isfahan and Ibrahim's army.

Such a situation was also expected by Ma Lu.

Ma Lu's army continued to move at its usual pace, slowly approaching Isfahan. The scouts were still far away, and the thousand-man teams were still sweeping the areas on both sides, marching and camping every day, everything was in order. Ten days later, the city of Isfahan was less than five hundred miles.

It was still early, but Ma Lan had already ordered to set up camp.

The army was entrenched on a high place, and the fence had been erected. In the clear sky, a large area of yellow dust suddenly rose in the distance.

Ma Lan took a group of young generals to immediately outside the barracks, squinting into the distance, watching the yellow dust getting closer and closer.

The earth shook violently, the yellow dust went straight into the air, and a large number of cavalry galloped from the horizon at high speed, approaching as fast as a tide, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves was as loud as thunder.

Some of the cavalry in the front were brightly armored and in an extremely neat formation, but the knights who followed behind were in an extremely chaotic formation, covered in shabby leather armor, and shouted loudly while rushing over.

"No wonder the Turkic soldiers are not good at fighting, this is not like an army at all." Yang Youniang looked at the rushing army and said in a low voice.

Ma Lan smiled and said: "Although the Turkic soldiers are weaker, it is relative to the border army of the Tang Dynasty. Compared to the Persians and Arabyans, the Turkic cavalry was still very strong. Of course, when they come, they are fighting with the wind, and we don't expect them. ”

Yang Youniang nodded.

Ma Lan looked at those Turkic knights, these guys were all bulging, and they didn't know how many things they had plundered along the way.

However, with the urine nature of the Turks, this is normal. Qi Biye has been nesting in Wannian City with tens of thousands of Turkic troops for so long, and this time he was finally released, so he naturally wanted to indulge in a lot of indulgence.

Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed in, and the yellow clouds covered the sky and the sun, looking extremely imposing. The merchants camped under the hill couldn't help but get nervous when they saw such a scene.

The cavalry came to the front and slowly slowed down. At this time, the merchants saw clearly that among the cavalry who came, they were still under the banner of the Tang people, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was not an enemy, it was a false alarm for them.

A young general galloped over, followed by a dozen lieutenants, and quickly arrived outside the barracks. Among the Turks behind, more than a dozen Turkic knights also rode over and rushed to Ma Lu after the young general. Everyone dismounted at the same time and bowed down to Ma Lan.

"General!"

Ma Lan smiled: "Get up!" ——Mingyuan, hard work all the way! ”

This army that came to join the division was led by Tian Mingyuan, who was stationed in Wannian City.

Wannian City near the Strait of Hormuz is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the province of Fars near the Wannian City has all become the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This time, the Tang Dynasty swept away the Great Eclipse, and while Ma Ling crossed the salt desert and attacked Isfahan, he also ordered Tian Mingyuan and Qibiye to lead most of the men and horses to leave Wannian City and enter Isfahan Province northwest through Shiraz to join the main force.

Tian Mingyuan brought 2,000 new troops from Anxi, and the Turkic cavalry under Qiyi Ye had 30,000 or 40,000. These thirty or forty thousand cavalry were basically idle after helping to build Wannian City, because Fars had become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so they couldn't plunder near Wannian City, and after holding it for so long, they finally got the opportunity to indulge. The main force of the horses was mainly to kill, but the Turks preferred to plunder, and looking at them like this, they also harmed the Persians along the way.

This time, I didn't expect them to involve them, but just let them fight with the wind. Of course, these 30,000 or 40,000 Turkic cavalry still had a great advantage against the Persians.

Historically, the Turks quickly became devout Muslims after coming into contact with the Great Food Civilization, first as mercenaries of the Abbasids, and soon after as the de facto masters of the vast empire as they began to depose the caliphate in Baghdad. The Turkic cavalry, who were good at cavalry and archery, had an obvious advantage in combat power against the agricultural peoples of Upper Western Asia.

Tian Mingyuan stood up, looking extremely energetic. After all, he is young, and he doesn't seem tired all the way. Since the main force of the army returned from Wannian City, he and Niu Xu stayed in Wannian City, and they are also the generals who are in charge. After being in Wannian City alone with a large army for so long, this young man's temperament has also changed greatly.

"General, everyone who can get there has arrived!" Before Tian Mingyuan could speak, Qi Biye behind him preemptively said, "My subordinates are nearly 40,000, and there are a few losses on the way, and the rest are all here." General, we want to go sell something first-"

"Fuck off!" Ma Lan smiled and waved his hand.

A dozen Turkic knights burst into laughter, turned on their horses and hurried away. Ma Lan squinted at the back of the Turkic and smiled: "These killers have probably done a lot of bad things on the road...... Mingyuan, regardless of them, let's go in and talk! ”

"General, this time I left 1,500 people in Wannian City, and I brought 2,000 of them, and I didn't lose a single person on the way. ……”

Everyone walked into the barracks, and Tian Ming recounted the events along the way as he walked. At this time, the bottom became lively.

Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry plundered along the way, but this time the march was extremely fast, so there was no caravan to follow, all the supplies needed along the way were all plundered on the spot, it was completely a strategy of eating the enemy, without a caravan to follow, the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers could only take things with them, and could not trade them. At this time, seeing the dense caravans outside the barracks, the cavalry felt extremely cordial.

The merchants did not know in advance about the meeting today, but at this time they reacted, and the Turks scattered, taking what they had plundered to the merchants to exchange money and silk, and seeing that there were so many booty to buy, the merchants were extremely happy, and they marched with the army, waiting for such a moment.

Tens of thousands of people dispersed, and the high ground immediately turned into a lively market. The Turks knew that Ma Lan had strict rules, so they didn't get into trouble, but they also learned to bargain, and a thing that they thought was good might have to go from place to place before they were willing to sell it.

The most experienced are the Kangju merchants, who have actually cooperated with this group of Turkic miscellaneous soldiers before, and they have won the trust of the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers the most, so they have the advantage, and they have acquired the most things, and soon the carriages are full. However, there was plenty of loot, so caravans from other places could also get a piece of the pie.

With the arrival of Tian Mingyuan and them, the number of Anxi's new army reached 14,000 people, all of whom were equipped with Yuanrong crossbows. And the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers under the command of Khibi Ye are also nearly 40,000 people, which is also a force that should not be underestimated. When Isfahan was still a few hundred miles away, Ma Lu's men were strong and strong, and their morale was at its peak. (To be continued......)
