Chapter 331: The Wind Rises
It's useless to be in a hurry to catch and drink in the city, he is not Hai Dongqing, he can't return to catch and drink in a few days, and it is already an unexpected joy to have Hai Dongqing to deliver the news. Now this matter can only be put aside for a while, and the focus will be shifted to these things at the moment.
Michelle is the big leader of Anthy's secret agents, and she needs to play a major role in the confrontation with the Persian Temple this time, so it is necessary for her to know these things.
Mi Xue listened, her eyes gradually brightened, and when Ma Lan stopped talking, she looked at Ma Lan and whispered: "General, I think this is a good opportunity." ”
"What good chance?"
"Be the emperor!" Michelle whispered.
"Nonsense!" Ma Lan immediately straightened his face.
"General! The Persian temple has huge financial resources and all kinds of strange methods, and it is secretly extremely powerful. Since they are willing to support the general to become emperor, why not? Such opportunities are not available all the time. It's a big deal to wait for the general to become the emperor and ignore them. Wouldn't it be nice to use their power to become emperors, and then purge them? The Xinghu woman was actually not afraid of him, and looked directly at Ma Lu, her eyes shining and whispered.
Ma Lan snorted and said, "Have you ever thought about how many people would have to die if this is the case?" Don't you know who I am? ”
"I'm a Hu girl, not a Han Chinese. As long as you can be the emperor, what is the death of some people? General, such an opportunity is rare. If you want to be an emperor, how can there be an immortal? ”
Ma Lan looked at the Xinghu woman and smiled bitterly: "Mi Xue, do you really want me to be the emperor?" ”
The Xinghu woman nodded: "In my opinion, this world is the world." There is no one more qualified to be an emperor than you, a general. Even if you are not the emperor, they will not let you go, even so. Why don't you become emperor yourself and do what you want? For example, if you want more Han people to immigrate to the river, this is a difficult matter, if you become an emperor, you can move as many people as you want, who can stop you? ”
"......" Ma Lan shook his head, and said in his heart that Hu Nu is Hu Nu after all. The idea is different from that of the Han Chinese.
Relying on the Persian temple to be the emperor is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and when the time comes, it will be stained. It's not so easy to get rid of it!
Besides, the intention of the Persian temple is to use itself, and he is not a random person to be used by others! The blood of the people of the Han family should only be sprinkled on the battlefield of opening up the territory for the entire Han nation, and should only be sprinkled on the battlefield of fighting with foreign races. How can it be for the power of one person. And let thousands of Han people bleed!
When you become an emperor, you can do whatever you want, but having the power to do as you want is the most dangerous. Who can guarantee that they will always be right, and who can guarantee that what they give to the people of the Han family is what they want in their hearts?
"Michelle, I'll just assume that you never said such a thing, remember, don't say such a thing again. Something like this happened. I need to know the situation in Chang'an City. The Devils are already meat on the chopping block, and there is no need to bother listening to their intel. You gather a part of your men, go directly to the city of Zhongshou along the 'Mighty Khan Road', and then send people to Chang'an, and I want you to establish a stronghold of communication in these two places. Ma Lan looked at the Xinghu woman and said solemnly.
"Since the general refuses, then I don't want to. I will take people to Monan now, and strive to complete the general's explanation as soon as possible. Michelle nodded and said respectfully.
"You don't have to do it now, it's better to take a rest, settle down here, and it's not too late to go tomorrow."
The Xinghu woman arched her hand and walked away quickly.
Ma Lan let out a long sigh and shook his head.
It seems that the enemy to be faced at the moment is not only the Persian temple, but also the ambitions of his subordinates.
In later generations, when Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in a yellow robe, why did he want to bully the orphans and widows of the Chai family? Now that he has an undefeated division, if there is a conflict with Chang'an, it is impossible to predict what these proud generals will think.
Such a thing cannot happen, so there must be no conflict with Chang'an City. The battle with the Persian temple needs to be carried out in secret. They claim to have their own handle, and the key now is to find out what it is.
Knowing the news of Chang'an City, looking for the people of the Persian Temple and eradicating them one by one, this is what needs to be done at the moment.
The Persian Temple has a falcon method of communication, but from Chang'an to Yizhou, the Zoroastrian Temple along the way was destroyed by Michelle and them, and the intelligence system of the Persian Temple is bound to be affected, and there may not be any advantages. If you want to completely kill the Persian Temple, the first thing you have to solve is those Persian shamans in Tingzhou City.
If you want to get rid of these guys, you may not be able to rely on Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin, these two are reckless people, and they are not comparable to the meticulous Fang Wen. This operation is very important, and it must be done once and for all, and it is best to return to Tingzhou to do it yourself, so as to be foolproof.
Hun Ying's appearance in Mobei was an accident, and the people of the Persian Temple did not know that they had insight into their plans, so the best way at this time was to pretend that they didn't know anything, and wait until they returned to Shiting Prefecture, so as not to startle the people of the Persian Temple.
……
Li Longji was imprisoned in Tingzhou, and the Persian Temple was secretly making trouble, and Ma Ling also told Gao Qianqian about these things.
Now the two daughters in the Anxi army who know everything are him and Mi Xue Gao Qianqian, and Du Huaiguang only knows a little fur. Hun Xuan revealed one or two to him, but he didn't dare to talk to him in detail about anything else, and Ma Xuan was not ready to tell him for the time being.
Duan Xiushi was in the army, and Ma Lu was not ready to tell him these things. Duan Junzi is such a person, if he knew that Li Longji was imprisoned in Tingzhou, then the matter would be a big problem. Ma Lan also didn't want to be cut off by this old friend when he slept in the middle of the night.
didn't give Feng Changqing an order to let him deal with those shamans in Tingzhou City, which is actually a reason.
People like Doctor Feng and Duan Junzi are real scholars, and they don't care about Li Longji's intention to bleed the Anxi Army, even if Han Haijun and those personal soldiers are killed, they won't care, in their eyes, the Son of Heaven will always be right.
Let Doctor Feng know the truth, those shamans probably can't escape the siege of Doctor Feng, but Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin and their subordinates are definitely a dead end.
They are the readers of this era, and they have their principles for doing things. It's completely different from Ma Lan. On weekdays, Ma Lan admires them, but at such a time, Ma Lan still has to insist on his own opinions.
Although Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin were instigated. However, after knowing that the Son of Heaven wanted their lives for no reason, they only imprisoned Li Longji, which was polite enough in Ma Lan's opinion.
Although this incident broke the sky, Ma Lan would never blame them for this incident, and let them lose their lives for this incident.
After returning to Shiting Prefecture, solve these matters as soon as possible to avoid conflicts with Chang'an City. Affected the people of the Han family. However, before returning to the division, it is better to eat the descendants of the Duwei Miao first.
On top of the original history, nearly a hundred years later, around 840 AD. It was the Hui Empire that destroyed the Hui Empire. After that, he also became the master of the steppe for a short time, but was defeated by the Khitans and Turks soon after, and retreated to the Jianshui Valley.
Now that all the tribes on the grassland have been wiped out, the Khitans in the east have been killed by Li Jing's kid and are about to become extinct. It is impossible to be a gravedigger of the Quegasians. This time, the Emperor was edicted to help in the war. After defeating and annexing the Sijie and Baxi Secret tribes in the Nine Divisions of Tiele, Dingkou reached more than 200,000 and was the most likely tribe to become the new overlord of the grassland. With such a tribe, how could Ma Lan allow them to exist in the Mobei grassland? No matter how tight the time is, we must wait until this last battle is over.
One day of the enemy, several generations of trouble, no matter how much blood of Li Ling and Li Ling's subordinate Han soldiers flowed in the people of Huangjiasi, since there are so many people. Then they would not be allowed to continue to exist.
In the future, after the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate reappeared in Mobei, it was necessary to strictly control the Dingkou of the tribe. Large tribes with more than 10,000 dingkou are absolutely not allowed to appear, and when the population of the tribe increases, they must be resettled separately.
……
On the second day, Michelle came to say goodbye to Ma Lan and left the camp on the banks of the Xian'e River with dozens of Anxi spies.
This time they went to Chang'an, on the surface, they went to Chang'an City to report the victory, but secretly they took a dozen falcons, preparing to establish a fast intelligence channel between Mobei and Zhongshou City and Chang'an.
The route of the victory was to go southeast to the Huisu tooth tent, which was originally the tooth tent of the Turkic Empire, and there was a special "towering khan road" leading directly to Chang'an. Zhongzong was determined to go on the Northern Expedition, and Zhang Ren was willing to build three surrendered cities in Monan as a base for advancement, and the surrendered cities were on this towering khan road.
After arriving at the surrender of the city, it is no longer the territory of the state capital, but the land directly under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a post road leading directly to Chang'an.
Regardless of the situation in Chang'an City, there was no reason why it should not be welcomed when it came to Beijing with the head of the Hui Khan. And at that time, with the Falcon Communication, you can know the movements of Chang'an City as soon as possible.
The falcon's method of communication is extremely magical, and later generations can only use pigeons to communicate, and the natural enemy of pigeons is the falcon, and the use of falcons to communicate future generations is simply unheard of. But in later generations, even Zhuge Wuhou's Yuan Rong could not be restored, and it was not surprising that later generations did not know this method.
At present, this method of communication is available on both sides, and Ma Lu has no doubt that there are eagle slaves of Persian temples in Chang'an City and Anxi, but he doesn't care. Hai Dongqing can't kill people, otherwise the Persian Temple wouldn't have to find an agent. With these 10,000 soldiers in his hands, he can ignore anyone.
When the Persian Temple is destroyed, you can get more Haidongqing, and then you can establish a quick connection between the east and west of the green mountain and the big food, so that you can continue to expand the territory. Hai Dongqing is from the Northeast, and after knowing the channels for the Persians to collect Hai Dongqing, the more this kind of treasure the better.
After sending off Michelle, Ma Ling waited peacefully on the bank of the Xian'e River, waiting for the arrival of the Hujia people. The people of the Huangjia are looking at the Yanran Mountain (Wudeqian Mountain) with fertile water and grass, and the territory near the Huiya tent, Xian'e River is a must-pass place.
Although Michelle took away some of the spies, there were still a lot of spies left, plus the scouts, so the information of the Zombies kept coming.
Three days later, the people were only more than 200 miles away from the army, and their envoy sent a rich gift to Ma Lu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing these gifts, the corners of Ma Lan's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression became extremely weird. (To be continued......)
