Chapter 148: Harry's Messenger
Zhang Mai heard that it was an envoy sent by Hari in Baghdad, he was surprised, and when he mentioned Harry, he immediately thought of the Araba monarchs in robes in "One Thousand and One Nights", as for the impression of the Heavenly Sect in his previous life, he was conservative in politics and radical in anti-Western, in short, it was a very unfamiliar political field, even more unfamiliar than European countries.

Although, since the beginning of the Broken Leaf Army, Zhang Mai has been in constant contact with the Celestial Regime, and the struggle with Satuk has continued to this day, but it is the first time that the Supreme Leader of the Celestial Sect has sent someone here.
"Harry?" Zhang Mai said: "What is he doing here?" ”
Guo Wei said: "Could it be that because we entered Saman, he came to ask for sin?" ”
The current Hezhong region belonged to the Anxi Protectorate in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tianfang Sect did not recognize it, they took it for granted that it was the territory of the Tianfang Sect, and it can be said that this was the disputed area of the two major civilizations
"No, it won't." Ma Jirong said: "We are here at the invitation of Nesr II this time, and the name is justified, I heard that although Satuk also believes in the Heavenly Sect, he is a different faction from Harry, and Harry will not ask us if he asks for guilt."
"If Harry is coming to join forces with us to flank Satuq, how can Harry's emissaries get here?" Although Wei Renpu is from the Central Plains, Guo Luo has done a lot of work on the Tianfang Sect region over the years, although it is far from exhaustive - the Arab Empire is too big after all, and the information Guo Luo has obtained in just a few years is only scratching the surface, and it cannot be said that it has penetrated into the cultural level, but it has been mapped in the general territory, Wei Renpu's memory group has long remembered the territory route, and then said: "Harry's envoy is from the west, and the west will pass through the area controlled by Satuk, I have heard that the emissaries are neatly dressed and unharmed, and that they were not spared as they passed through Bukhara and the cities of Kangju, so I deduce that this emissary did not come to join us in attacking Satuq. ”
"So, is the other party coming to be Satuk's backer?" Liu An said: "But even if Satuk is not at the end of the road now, it is also full of crises, and I heard that although Harry is still the co-owner of the Heavenly Country, he is similar to Zhou Tianzi in our Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he is only in name. What is the purpose of him coming to give Satuk a head? ”
Zhang Mai asked Guo Luo's opinion again, and Guo Luo said: "Today's Baghdad, I heard that it has been held hostage by barbarian generals, but it is difficult to say whether this Hari still has the will to be independent. However, I think that even if Harry's envoy did not come to respond to his own opinion, I am afraid that he would have come to make things difficult for us. ”
"Oh?"
Guo Luo said: "According to various intelligences, since our army entered the territory of Saman, the heavenly countries have been shaken, listening to the rumors of the merchants of the Silk Road, from Bukhara to Baghdad, from Baghdad to the Mediterranean, all the heavenly countries are worried that our forces will go west endlessly. The fierce struggle between the various sects within the Celestial Sect is not under the struggle against the foreign religions, but our prestige is too strong, and they don't know what our purpose is, let alone whether our army is going all the way to the west or where it will stop, so I think this messenger should be Harry who came to test it. ”
Liu An said: "Guo Dudu's analysis is very reasonable. For example, today, all the countries of Fang naturally want to know our attitude, and Harry will also use this incident to try to revive his prestige, so Harry will send envoys, and all the forces of the Heavenly side are also optimistic. ”
Speaking of this, Liu An said: "Marshal, please let me try the bottom line of this envoy first, and then reply to the marshal when I find out their minds." ”
Zhang Mai pondered for a moment and said, "No need, I already have a certainty in my heart." It's just a messenger who has no power to make a hypocrisy, so you don't need to turn so many corners, please let the messenger enter the account. However, the other party is the envoy of the Heavenly Sect Harry, and that is the leader who can stand side by side with my Tang Emperor, and we should respect it. ”
When Wei Renpu heard this, he knew how to deal with it, and immediately ordered the tent to be raised, and three thousand wolf-like soldiers guarded the honor guard outside.
Harry's envoy arrived outside the tent, and saw Xue Sensen's Mo Dao was already in awe, but after all, the Heavenly Empire has a deep foundation and a large number of talents, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, this messenger is also very courageous, and walked into the tent with his head held high, and after entering the account, he saw dozens of characters in the golden tent, Wenchen was gentle and elegant without losing his momentum, and the military general was not angry and secretly murderous, but everyone's aura was arched under one person
"That person should be Zhang Mai, who is known as the 'New Heavenly Khan of the East'." When the envoy saw it, he secretly envied himself in his heart, thinking that when the Heavenly Empire could have such a monarch and minister, it would be good.
He came to Zhang Mai, offered a gift without humility or arrogance, and exclaimed: "The agent of the true God on earth, His Majesty Hari, the contemporary Hari, sends my most sincere greetings to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan from the East. And his name was reported.
In addition to collecting intelligence in Ningyuan City in the past few years, Guo Luo has also recruited a large number of talents and trained a group of staff officers who are proficient in Arabic.
The name of the envoy was so long that Zhang Mai could not remember it, so the translator's staff officer took it as Vatik.
From Ma Jirong to Wei Renpu to Ma Xiaochun, to Yang Xin and Xu Congshi, all the Wenchen military generals were secretly happy when they heard this envoy of the Heavenly Sect Hari respectfully call Zhang Mai "His Majesty the Heavenly Khan". Ma Jirong, Wei Renpu and others certainly want to "persuade" Yang Xin, Xu Congshi and other hot-blooded soldiers from the Central Plains also all think that Zhang Mai is the only Ming lord and saint in the world, so Zhang Mai has not yet ascended the emperor's throne, and they are naturally haunted in their hearts
Zhang Mai smiled slightly and said, "Your Harry is still in good health, and when I finish this battle, I will visit him in Baghdad when I have time." ”
The translator's staff officer was startled, but under Guo Luo's eyes, he still translated as usual,
Watik was even more shocked, but he still said without humility or arrogance: "Thank you for your concern, if you have the opportunity, we Harry should also pay a return visit to Chang'an." ”
Zhang Mai said with a smile: "When I level the river, destroy Satuq, and go to Baghdad from here, it will be a month or two away, but His Majesty Harry is going to Chang'an, and the distance is far away." ”
Watik immediately replied: "The Samanid have been appointed by His Majesty Hari to guard the river for generations, and they have been loyal and praised by successive Hari. Now it has been invaded by the Turks who believe in heresy and lost the territory, which was originally a family matter within my Heavenly Sect, but Nasr II actually asked for help, and His Majesty the Heavenly Khan was willing to go on an expedition to restore the country for his friends, this matter was very admired by our heavenly kingdoms, regardless of whether the monarchs and ministers heard about it, but Nasr II did something very wrong in this matter. ”
In fact, Satuk is a Uighur, but in the eyes of some people in Baghdad, whether it is a Uighur or a Tieler, they are all Turkic species, and they are not subdivided.
And Wei Renpu and the others felt like a mirror in their hearts after listening to his words, now Harry has no soldiers and no power in his hands, so although he does not dare to show weakness to the outside world so as not to be despised by the heavenly countries, he does not dare to be too tough in front of Zhang Mai - a person with no power is not confident in front of the strong. However, Watik kept saying that Zhang Mai was invited to help, which implied that Zhang Mai should return the territory to Saman even if he conquered Hezhong in the future, and the subtext of this implication was that the Hezhong region belonged to the Celestial Empire
Wei Renpu was about to come out and argue with Watik that the Hezhong region was originally under the rule of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and "it has been the sacred and inviolable territory of my Tang Dynasty since ancient times", but seeing that Zhang Mai did not mean to let his subordinates come out to debate, he did not dare to come forward in vain.
But seeing that Zhang Mai didn't mean to debate with Watik at all, he just said lazily: "What you say about Nasr II in the heavens, that's your business, I don't care, as for how Saman's descendants should be settled, wait until I go to Bukhara." ”
After listening to the translation, Watik's face suddenly became extremely ugly
When Zhang Mai reached Bukhara, the river would fall into his hands, and at that time what was there to talk about, let the tiger spit out the meat that had eaten in his mouth?
What is domineering, domineering is not hideous, fierce and vicious, domineering is what I want to do according to my logic, whether it is to destroy Saman, or to restore Saman, I have the final say, and I don't need to discuss with you
Wei Renpu was a little stunned when he heard this, and after being stunned, he secretly admired, and the generals were all very happy when they heard it, and they felt that the marshal should be like this, and we really didn't make a mistake with this boss
At this point, Watik couldn't say any more.
Originally, he was also a talent, otherwise how could he maintain the demeanor of an envoy of a great power under such majesty? It's just that the strength of the two countries is too far apart, and there are not many cards that Watik can play in his hand, even if he has the ability to score twelve points, he can only swing one or two points at this time.
The atmosphere was awkward for Watik for a while, and Watik turned his mind and regained his courage and asked: "Your Majesty, Great Heavenly Khan, if you can take care of your friend's righteousness and re-establish the descendants of Nasr, then it will also be a good thing to see, but I don't know how long Your Majesty is going to stay in the river, and our Majesty Harry Xià will prepare grapes and wine for hospitality." ”
When these words were spoken, Guo Luo and Liu An immediately felt a little bit of Harry's true intentions, and even speculated on the bottom line of Harry and the Heavenly Kingdoms
As for asking Zhang Mai how long he wants to stay in the river, of course, it is not really to prepare grapes and wine for Zhang Mai, but to see if Zhang Mai wants to go to the river.
Guo Luo said in his heart: "It seems that Harry's intentions are obvious, he is powerless to interfere in the situation in the river, if he can keep the river, it will naturally be the best, if not, then they just want our troops to end here." ”
If Zhang Mai's forces stop in the river, although they cut off a corner of the eastern corner of the Celestial Empire, they will still not touch the core of the entire Celestial Empire, the Two Rivers Valley, and will not lead to the complete collapse of the entire Abbasid Empire.
Moreover, as long as Zhang Mai's forces return to the east, then the Heavenly Sect country can still use religious forces to wait for an opportunity to make a comeback.
