Chapter 64: The Situation Is Clear
Khorasan is after all and. The base of the Posirin and. Posilin's supporters believed that the Abbas brothers had colluded with the Sogdians and the Tang to kill their leader, and this hatred had been planted. And Abbas refused to do so. Posilin's attitude of revenge will deepen this hatred.
Although not. Posilin's supporters were defeated, but in the end, hatred took root in their hearts. Ma Lan understood that he had used and . Posilin's actions were not useless after all. Nowadays in all parts of the Khorasan province, there must be a large number of supportive leaders and . Persian Mawari of Posilin.
Abbas's contraction in the river may not have been without this consideration. Combine. Posilin's last words angered him, and the temporary retrenchment may also have been a consideration for stabilizing the internal situation in the first place. Khorasan Province has a large population, and if the ruling foundation is not stable, there will be ** troubles, and the black-clothed food started in Khorasan and swept the entire food within a few years. How could Abbas, the black-clad caliph, not understand this?
Of course, this is just speculation, but it is probably certain that Abu. Abbas has no plans to conquer the river for the time being. Since the time of Qudibo, the existence of the Great Cannibal in the Land of the River has actually ended.
This is temporary, the fertile soil of the river is fertile, and the sassy straw building is called a paradise by Posilin, and it is impossible for this fertile oasis to be unattractive to Abbas, as long as he integrates his internal forces, the flames of war on both sides of the Wuhu River can be ignited at any time.
……
Kang Wannian probably knows more than the dignitaries of Kufa City, and his analysis of the situation often coincides with Ma Lu. Ma Lan didn't believe that this was all his idea, and the facts in this information were fused and judged, and it must have been given by Kang Wan's father and daughter based on the information obtained.
Kang Million is a member of the Kangju royal family, but he is obviously not a person from the same way. What his status is in the Kangju royal family, Ma Lan is not clear, and Kang Wannian has no intention of confessing. After getting the share of the hundreds of thousands of dollars, the father and daughter of the Kang family became even more mysterious in his eyes.
However, in the current state, after all, they are friends and not enemies, and the two sides still maintain a cooperative relationship. Since this group of people was sent to him by Kang Million, it is naturally not in vain.
After returning to the Grange, Ma Li immediately found several of his staff members to discuss the matter together. The development of the situation in the land of the river has departed from the original historical trajectory, and it is no longer possible to make accurate judgments by relying on the historical knowledge mastered, so brainstorming may be a good choice.
Du Huan was reorganizing his army on the edge of the desert, and the main staff in the grange were Cen Shen and Duan Xiushi, as well as a few newly appointed Anxi Xu officials. Ma Luan, who wanted to set foot in the river, did not hide it, and these people had already known about it. Listening to Ma Lu talk about the internal situation of the Great Food Country, Duan Xiushi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "General, you said that the Great Food King was unwilling to march into the river, but deliberately shrunk, in my opinion, this is the response that the human lord should have." He was not acting on the spur of the moment, but he had no other choice. ”
Ma Luan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Cheng Gong said let, why he has no choice." ”
Duan Xiushi said with a smile: "General, the black-clothed food arose in Mulu, with Na Bosnu as the leader, and the Persian slave left his last words, asking the Persians to be enemies of the king. There are many people who support the Persian slaves in the land of Mulu, and although they are now temporarily suppressed, they are still secretly floating in people's hearts. ”
Ma Lan nodded.
"Dashi is a big country in the West, and it is said that Dingkou has my Tang Dynasty. In this Khorasan alone, Dingkou is more than ten times the surname of Zhaowu in the river. If the Great Eater allowed the people of Khorasan to avenge the Persian slaves, the Persians would have crossed the Wuhu River in a big way, and the situation of the Persians would have been extremely difficult. ”
"However, the people of Khorasan are not yet in an army, so they can be suppressed by the five thousand cavalry sent by Kufa. If the people of Khorasan are allowed to cross the Wuhu River to fight, a real army will be tempered in a matter of months! The farmer took up arms and was accustomed to burning, killing and plundering, and it was not so easy to let them go again! General, imagine that such an army appears in the river, can the big food king still sleep in peace? ”
Cen Shen clapped his hands and laughed: "What Cheng Gong said is extremely true. The Mulu people who are willing to avenge the Persian slave are the enemies of the Great Food King. Now that the Great Food King has the advantage, how can he let Kou Qiu become an army! The general also said that there are less than 100,000 soldiers under the command of the Great Food King, and there are more than one million people near Mulu! If these people are allowed to take up arms and become an army, how can they be cured once they rebel against the Great Food King? Naturally, the Great Eater suppressed it with all his might, forbidding the people of Khorasan to avenge the Persian slaves. ”
Ma Lan nodded, and after the two of them said this, he also completely understood.
Indeed, it is not easy to let go of the hand that is used to holding the weapon. Once power is obtained, no one can really give it up.
The Persians of Khorasan, once organized, were a formidable force. An army hostile to Abbas, how could Abbas allow it to appear.
The land in the river was not so important to Abbas. The province of Khorasan was already on the frontier of the Great Food Empire, and the river was far beyond its borders. For Abbas, the most important thing is, of course, to keep the caliphate. Only when the throne is kept, can other things be considered.
Looking at several staff, Ma Ling thought for a while, and said slowly: "That being the case, the Great Food King is absolutely unwilling to avenge that Persian slave?" ”
"Unless he wants to set himself on fire, when the great revenge of the Persian slaves is avenged, and Chen She, Wu Guang and others ascend to the heights, his throne will be in danger. As long as the Great Food King is not an idiot, he will never allow such a thing to happen. Duan Xiushi smiled confidently.
Ma Lan nodded, a heartfelt smile on his face.
Abbas is certainly not an idiot, how can Abbas be an idiot! Even if Abbas died a few years later, Taizong Mansur, the founder of the city of Baghdad, was definitely not an idiot.
Not an idiot, the matter is very simple, and the situation becomes clear.
Cen Shen said with a smile: "Once the enemy takes root in his heart, where is it so easy to eliminate. Those Mulu people who are loyal to Persian slaves are already like fire and water with the Great Food King, the Great Food King is now sitting on the volcano, it is good to be able to keep the throne, where can he think about anything else! The general is really talented, and a small provocation in the river caused such a storm and thunder to shake. The Great Cannibal in the River is out of touch for the time being, leaving us plenty of time to prepare. This is really God bless the Tang Dynasty, it seems that this fertile land is destined to be pocketed by the general! ”
Duan Xiushi nodded and smiled: "That's right. The general's once in the river is defeated, but a million male soldiers! The only thing to worry about is whether the Great Food King can keep the throne. If his throne is not secured, let those who are loyal to the Persian slaves succeed, and these people will definitely fight with the surname Zhaowu Jiu after they ascend to the throne, and then it will be troublesome. ”
Ma Lan asked, "Are there any other troubles?" ”
Duan Xiushi shook his head and said, "No, this is the only possibility that will affect the general's plans." ”
Ma Lan nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, haha!" ”
Cen Shen smiled: "The general seems to be very confident in that big food king? ”
"yes. I dare to guarantee with my life that the Great Food King will definitely be able to keep the throne. A smile bloomed on Ma Lan's face, and he finally couldn't help laughing.
Just kidding, Abbas and Mansour are both heroes of a generation, although they stole the fruits of the victory of the Blacks to ascend to the throne, but who can snatch the throne from them with the ability of these two brothers?
As long as the Abbasid brothers were in power, they would be jealous of the Khorasan army and people, and they would restrain the Persians from crossing the Wuhu water.
This left enough time for Duhao, and of course, enough time for Datang. Such a good opportunity, if you can't grab the land in the river, it is the will of heaven, and there is nothing more to say.
The situation in the Transiston is still unclear, it is not known how many Sogdian and Persian settlers are left on both sides, and what the results of the Western Turkic tribes in the Fergan Basin will be, all of which require detailed information as soon as possible before deciding on the next move.
Both the Sogdians and the Persians died as much as possible, so that it would be convenient for the Han people to settle here. Since the surname Zhaowu Jiu is from China, it is time to return to China. Integrating into the Chinese cultural circle is the best outcome for this kind of border people. For thousands of years in China, all kinds of barbarian tribes disappeared, and they were all completed in the impact and reaction with the Han nation.
Ma Lan also understood why the elites liked to recruit a large number of staff members at this time, a person's knowledge was shallow after all, like the situation of the Great Food, no matter how he thought about it, he would not be as clear as he is now. These guys who are familiar with the scriptures and history have great wisdom in their chests, and they must not be underestimated.
……
With a clear mind, the smile on Ma Lan's face was irrestrictible. Waving his hand to order Duan Xiushi and the others to disperse, Ma Lan got up and left the conference hall, and went out to find Gao Qianqian.
The clarity of the situation in the middle of the river was extremely important to him, and he naturally wanted to share this news with Gao Qianqian. This girl now has a very special place in his heart.
Gao Qianqian couldn't be found in the grange, and after asking Qibo, he learned that Gao Qianqian immediately rushed to Qiuzi City again after escorting those gold and silver coins back to the grange, saying that he was looking for a suitable place to see what kind of paper workshop to run.
When Ma Lan heard this, he felt distressed in his heart. This girl is now full of grievances, but she still endures such hard work for the Ma family. At this moment, Ma Lan also felt a little sorry for her.
The affairs of the Ma family, how can they all be placed on the shoulders of a little girl. In the past, Ma Lan was busy training the new army and could not spare time, for fear that he would not be able to withstand the pressure in the river, but now that the situation west of the green ridge is generally clear, the matter of marching into the river is no longer so urgent. Ma Lan said a word to the seventh uncle, and then galloped out of the grange and went to Qiuzi City to find Gao Qianqian.
