Satuk led all the hateful tribes to flee west to Kulan City, and Hushagar had also arrived to meet Satuk and Shuibar, Satuk was ashamed in his heart, and when he saw Hushagar, he scolded angrily: "Why did you let Guo Luo attack so lightly!" ”
Hushagar was annoyed, but he didn't dare to refute it.
At this time, the Tang army marched in two ways - basically the route of Satuk's attack on the Tang army in Anxi - the north road was Guo Zhang's cavalry archers, walking the Broken Leaf Desert, biting at the back and not relaxing, but although the Broken Leaf Desert was not as big as the Sea of Death, it also made Guo Zhang have to retreat halfway; The south road is Wen Yanhai, take the mountain road, and approach to the city of Erji, but he did not come forward to attack.
However, Satuk was not reassured by this. Szerki is a mountain city that can be defended - what Satuk did immediately after taking Talas was to strengthen the city defenses of Szerki. As for the Broken Leaf Desert, it was not a place where you could march along the line, and the more troops there were, the more troublesome it would be to cross the desert.
If the enemy is only in the east, Satuk still has a lot of confidence that he can hold it, as long as he is like the Anxi Tang army in the past, he will be able to hold this area on the one hand and Kulan City on the other.
However, the current situation is that there is still a gap between Talas and Kulan City! That's the mountain pass where Tang City is located!
When Ningyuan was still in the era of False Traces, there was no commercial contact between Talas and False Traces, and this large area of mountains was in the wilderness, but now, this wilderness has stepped out of a road in a few years, forming a passage in the land of Ningyuan's homeland, which is difficult to walk, but has been formed. What's even more troublesome is that the two gaps in the north and south of the passage have already fallen into the hands of the Tang Army!
After Anwu captured the Tang City, he did not continue to attack Talas or Kulan City, but continued to increase the number of military camps in this mountain pass, eyeing both Talas and Kulan City.
He doesn't move, but that doesn't mean he can't move! This is a long mang planted on Satuk's back, and it will give Satuk a lethal knife anytime and anywhere when the war really starts! With the existence of Anwu's pawn, Satuk would not be able to concentrate on guarding against pressure from the east, but to deal with Anwu - do the current Hui still have the courage to take the initiative to attack the Tang army?
Spring is coming to an end, summer is yet to come – spring is late in the hinterland, and now is the best weather. In this season, even Talas grass grows everywhere, and if there is no war, cattle and sheep can be raised in this season, but at this time Satuk's mood has fallen to the lowest point ever. He looked at the tens of thousands of tribes who had followed him from Barasagon and were all disgraced. The past few years have been up and down, and the future is completely untenable.
At this moment, Su Lai sent a letter, which Satuk opened and saw that his military advisor had warned him to be careful of Guo Luo's surprise attack.
"Alas!" Satuk sighed, Sulai's judgment was accurate, but unfortunately it had already happened.
The second half of the letter changed tone, saying, "If the worst has happened, then ask the Great Khan to march west as soon as possible!" ”
"Expedition to the West?"
A flash of lightning in Satuk's brain!
He knew that Sulai had achieved results in Bukhara that had exceeded expectations.
Today, the defense line in the Talas region is incomplete, and it is unlikely that they will want to resist the Tang army in this area. But what if you use Talas as a border city and go directly to the Transoxiana region?
This also seems to be the way - no, it could be Satuk's last chance.
If you go this time, you will have to stay away from your homeland, and if you go, you may never be able to return to the East.
But this time it may also open a new era!
"Great Khan, the strategy of the old general Su Lai, you can consider it!" Shuibar said.
"Great Khan, your subordinates also think it is feasible!"
With the existence of Anwu, Kulan City is not a place where you can live for a long time.
"Alright, get ready to act!"
And when he made this decision, three pieces of information related to the Tang Army came from the east.
Seeing the first information, Satuk's face darkened: Zhang Mai changed the name of the Broken Leaf River to the Barasagon and made the daughter of Naarslan in the Broken Leaf River a side room, and received the blessings of the tribes of the two rivers.
Seeing the second piece of information, Satuk's heart sank again: in this best weather, Zhang Mai let all the Chengcheng troops recuperate, and the soldiers and horses from the two directions of Beiting and Ningyuan were reorganized on the spot, and the army was gathered, and it seemed that there was no intention of returning eastward, but as if it was going to continue to move west!
Seeing the third piece of information, Satuk was stunned at first, and then showed ecstasy!
Since the victory in Beiting, Satuk's face has been gloomy, and only at this time did he smile, and he laughed: "God help me, God help me!" ”
"Great Khan, what's wrong?" The generals asked.
Satuk restrained his smile and did not speak, much to the surprise of everyone. By the next day, Satuk summoned all the generals again, especially the leaders of the Heavenly Sect who accompanied the army, and said bitterly: "Xiao Wang just received a piece of information...... Zhang Mai ...... He's forbidden to teach in Broken Leaves! ”
The Heavenly Sect disciples were shocked and said, "What! ”
"What kind of religious freedom is he using," Satuk said, "this is his conspiracy, on the surface he said that he would choose his faith, but from the news that tens of thousands of parishioners who were baptized last year have been forced to abandon their religion!" Zhang Mai asked them to break their vows and eat pork, and now since the east of Erji, Tianfang is no longer the state religion! ”
All the leaders of the Heavenly Fang Sect seemed to be stimulated, some jumped, some roared, some shouted wildly, and some were about to rush over, as if they were going to fight in the direction of the east!
However, everyone knows that if you want to go east at this moment, it is undoubtedly death!
"This man is a demon from hell!" Satuk said, "Since the day he appeared, he has been planning to attack our Heavenly God Sect!" He invaded Shule, and as a result, the kingdom of heaven became the entrenchment of Kafir, and then he turned the naturalized Falsity into a pagan country, and now, it was the turn of Barasagon. I think everyone should know that the next step should be Talas! Even in the river, in Khorasan, even in Baghdad! I think this demon's greatest ambition is to subvert the entire heavens! ”
The congregations shouted, "We can't let him do this, we can't let him do this!" ”
"But now, we can't do anything about it!" Satuk was heartbroken.
"Don't worry about the Great Khan!" A preacher stood up and said: "Although this demon has won many battles, it is in the homeland of the Tang Dynasty, and when he arrives here, he can't continue to be strong!" Talas is their Tang people's biggest nightmare! As long as all of us in the Celestial World unite to fight against the demon Zhang Mai, we will definitely be able to recreate the glory of the Battle of Talas! ”
"That's right, that's right!" Several fanatical believers shouted together: "Let the Tang people be planted in Talas again!" This land will always be a nightmare for the Tang people! ”

In fact, Zhang Mai did not "exterminate" the Tianfang Sect, but what he did was to continue the religious policy that he had always had: to put religion under the regime, to restrict the missionary activities of all religions, and to guide them to develop in such areas as giving relief to the poor, giving medical treatment, opening charitable villages, and raising orphans, so that they could become a benign supplement to society in areas beyond the government's power, and give all major religions equal status in politics.
However, in the eyes of fanatical followers of the Heavenly Sect, turning a place that was already a "Kingdom of Heaven" into a place where "all religions coexist" is in itself a step backwards!
The separation of church and state, the unification of religion in government, or the integration of religion and state, and the supremacy of religion -- this is one of the essential differences between Chinese culture and Tianfang culture!
What's more, because a special thing happened in the past year in the Lingxi Hui: Satuk ordered all the residents of the Lianghe River Basin to do the Great Purification, thus turning all the Lingxi Hui into Heavenly Sect people.
There is a terrible continuity in religion, and although it is forced baptism at first, after a generation or two, when the descendants become accustomed to it, they become devout parishioners, and the region becomes a deep-rooted "kingdom of heaven."
Therefore, when Zhang Mai arrived at the broken leaves, he ordered that all the tribes and people who had been forced to do ghusl should be able to regain their religious beliefs. He also used his wedding feast to bestow wine and meat - wine is wine, meat is fragrant pork, and all those who were forced to do ghusl were invited to taste it as a symbol of their renewed spiritual freedom.
Of course, if they really believe in the true god of heaven, Zhang Mai does not mean that they must be forced to betray their faith.
However, after all, these "religious people" in the two river valleys have little faith, and most of them have not yet formed the habits of the Heavenly Sect, and after witnessing the defeat of Satuk, they know that it is very foolish to insist on the "Heavenly Faith" in this situation. Therefore, it is true that tens of thousands of "Heavenly Christians" abandoned Christianity under Zhang Mai's religious policy, and the Lianghe Valley is no longer a country of Heaven.
One can imagine what kind of effect this matter will have once it reaches Talas, to the river, and to the ears of those radical Heavenly Fang Sect followers!
Satuk understands very well that Zhang Mai's move is to make the Tianfang Sect world lose a country! He understands that a change of monarch in a country is nothing to many people of the Heavenly Sect, even if the caliph is changed!
But the transformation of a "kingdom of heaven" into a "kingdom of kaffir" in just a few days would be an intolerable sin in the minds of radicals!
"Let the people lose their faith, let the kingdom of heaven shrink, let those who are still alive lose hope, let those who are in suffering lose their future...... This qiē is the big sin created by Zhang Mai, and this qiē is also a big sin created by the Tang people! ”
"From Shule, to Ningyuan, to Barasagon, the Tang people are spreading like a virus, and if they are not stopped, then they will definitely continue to drag Talas, Samarkand, Bukhara and even Baghdad into hell!"
"People are losing their faith one by one, like a plague, they are spreading, they are spreading! And this plague is obviously brought by Zhang Mai, it was all brought by the Tang people, this plague is the Tang disaster! ”
"If we can't stop this qiē, if we let the Tang calamity continue to spread...... Then, when we die, we will not be able to face the true God in Heaven! ”
――――――――――――――
Li Bin led a group of fortification soldiers and a group of farmers with high quality to enter the broken leaves.
This was the land where he grew up for a long time, but before he had time to feel emotional, he heard about Zhang Mai's "extermination of the religion". He was taken aback and hurried to see Zhang Mai, who saw him and said with a smile: "You are late, if you come a few days earlier, you will be able to drink my happy wine." ”
Li Bin looked at Zhang Mai with a relaxed look and said, "Marshal, you are still so idle!" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhang Mai asked.
"Whose idea is this! This is the way to chaos! ”
Zhang Mai smiled and said, "What, blame me for not being in the side room here?" Well, in fact, I should have spoken to Fen'er, but things are too far apart, so as soon as Guo Luo said it, I ......"
"That's not what my subordinates said!" Li Bin said: "What my subordinates said is the destruction of the heavens. ”
"Destroy the Heavens?" Zhang Mai said: "It's not to destroy the heavens, I'm just implementing our established policy." ”
"But the marshal should not hastily abandon all those who have already done ghusl. Even if you really want to do this, you should take it slowly. Li Bin sighed: "In this way, what a mess it will cause!" Once the reaction of the Heavenly Kingdoms is provoked...... I am afraid that Satuq will use this opportunity to lure the kingdoms of heaven against us. Then we will erect a terrible enemy like never before! ”
When Zhang Mai heard this, he put down his wine glass, and his face became stern.
"An unprecedentedly terrible enemy?" He sneered: "An unprecedentedly terrible enemy, never on the outside, but on the inside!" The most terrible enemy is not to do something, but to follow the path! This matter of the Heavenly Fang Sect is better to do it later than to do it early! It's better to do it slowly than to cut through the mess quickly! ”
He closed his eyes and seemed to be recalling: "I once saw a country that suppressed what it really should do for fear of a handful of rebellions, for fear of a little so-called foreign public opinion, and maintained an illusory stability day after day!" Even if those terrible causes have spread from the frontier to the heart, they still hide their ears and steal the bell!
"But I would never allow such a thing to happen to me! The kingdoms of heaven are opposed? If you want to object, let them object! Even if they want to mobilize troops because of this, all of them will rise up to support Satuk, I am not afraid! I don't stop doing what I think is right because of the look on an outsider's face! If we do this today, we may bring about troubles for a year or two, but if we don't do it, we will bury the root of a hundred, two hundred, or even a thousand years! I, Zhang Mai, would rather do these most difficult things on my hands than leave these banes to my children and grandchildren! ”
