The person that Arida wanted to see was the king of Anguo, Qu Dibo. This person took refuge in Da Shi very early, and there was an uprising in Da Shi in the old year, and this person also sent more than 10,000 troops to help the black-clothed Da Shi suppress it.

But this person also sent people into Chang'an, and even secretly went to the table to invite the Tang Dynasty to expel the big food, and it was a wall grass at both ends of a rat.

Qu Dibo was recruited by Dashi this time and sent more than 10,000 troops to help in the battle, but on the battlefield that day, he was actually a soy sauce player.

At this time, when he heard that Ah Da from Julan City came to see him, Qu Dibo was shocked in his heart, this Ah Da was the confidant of Dou Zhongjie, the king of Bahan, and he saw him in private, did he want to persuade him to join the Tang Dynasty?

Without much thought, Qu Dibo sold Ajada, so it wasn't long before Adida was brought to Ziyad.

"What did King Bakhana send you for?" A general asked Ada.

Ayanda glared at Qudibo, who was sneering on the side, and then bowed down in front of Ziyad: "Messenger of the true God, great governor, our king has sent me to ask to see Your Excellency, but because I am afraid that Your Excellency will blame you, I ask King Qudibo to make an introduction." ”

"What does that rogue king of yours want?" Ziad asked.

The relationship between the countries in the river is complicated, and there are all kinds of Hu within the Tang army, and it is for this reason that he got some news from the Tang army, but it is not accurate, so he attaches great importance to Alida.

The king said that he had been deceived by the villain before, and he was confused for a while and stood on the side of the Tang Kingdom. Now he has come to his senses and is willing to convert to the true God and spread the glory of the true God. ”

"That's all? Pull out the sand and cut off his head. Ziad said with a blank face.

Arida was frightened, he knelt down and said, "It's true, our king said that in order to show his sincerity, he is willing to report the truth of the Tang people to the governor."

Ziad wasn't a governor at all, and Alada called him that, just a sycophant. Hearing Ah Lida talk about the reality of the Tang people, Ziad finally became a little interested: "You say"

"The Tang people were defeated under the city of Talas, losing tens of thousands of people, and most of those who fled back were wounded, although another general of the Tang people brought reinforcements, but now, the number of soldiers that the Tang people can fight will not exceed 40,000"

"The bag doesn't include your Bahan?"

"No, we still have more than 20,000 people, but the Tang people don't treat us as human beings, and their boss Gao Xianzhi is afraid of the warriors of the true gods, and he killed our people when he fled overnight......"

Ah Lida told Gao Xianzhi about killing the person who killed Bahan when he fled, Ziad was suspicious, and the Grolu man next to him interjected: "Gao Xianzhi is greedy and arrogant, he can indeed do such a thing"

"I heard that the Tang people sent a new general, I don't know how this person is?" Ziad asked.

"The new general?" Ah Lida had seen Ye Chang on the other hand, and when he heard this question, his expression was a little disdainful: "Too young, I heard the Tang people say that he is only twenty-seven years old The reason why he can become a general is because he is the son-in-law of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he is very proficient in medical skills, and I have seen him treat wounded soldiers, and the military medical system in the Tang army is said to have been established by him......"

Ziad's brows furrowed.

Among the Tang prisoners he captured this time, unlike any army that had fought before, there were many military doctors accompanying him. Moreover, through the interrogation of the prisoners, he also knew that the Tang Army had established a very complete military medical system, which was also what he desperately wanted.

"How many military doctors are there in the Tang Army now?"

"There were at least hundreds of them, and they were all dressed in white robes, and I could see it very clearly." Arata Dao

Qi Yad's heart suddenly became hot, Da Shi is quite respectful of doctors, not to mention the military doctors who are proficient in surgery and battlefield emergency treatment, Qi Yad forced the captured Tang Army military doctors to treat the wounded soldiers of Da Shi, their skillful skills and clever medical skills, left a deep impression on Qi Yad.

"In addition, speaking of this new general, there is another thing, he has a very bad relationship with Gao Xianzhi, relying on the power of the prime minister's father-in-law, he has deprived Gao Xianzhi of military power. Now Gao Xianzhi is under house arrest by him, and he is no longer able to command the battle. ”

"Is this true?" Ziad slammed to his feet this time.

"It's true, Your Excellency the Governor, I don't dare to tell the slightest lie, this is what our Lord himself told me......" At this, Arida was a little hesitant.

"What are you thinking, just say it"

"Our king is very in awe of Gao Xianzhi, if Gao Xianzhi still has the military power, he will not dare to betray the Tang Dynasty, but now the military power is in the hands of a young man who has not even grown a beard, our king is very worried......"

Ziad sat back in his place, his hook-like nose twitching a few times, as if to sniff the air for a dangerous smell.

All this is so coincidental that he can't help but suspect that there is a conspiracy behind it.

"What do you kings want?" After a while, Ziad asked.

"Our king wants to become a courtier of the Great Eclipse and guard the eastern frontier for the Great Eclipse......"

"To put it bluntly, if you play such cunning again, then you will be dead."

"Yes, yes, our king wants to get Broken Leaf City, and in addition, I hope that the captured Tang craftsmen can give it to us."

"Tang craftsmen? Now in the Tang Army, how many craftsmen are there with the army? ”

"Most of the craftsmen of the Tang Army stayed in Kulan City, and their number was many, many, more than 10,000

These are corroborated by the news that Ziad asked from the captive, and when he heard more than 10,000 craftsmen, Ziad secretly had his own calculations in his heart.

He was an ambitious man, and he wanted to be a true governor, not just a general. If he gets more than 10,000 craftsmen, his strength can skyrocket, even surpassing his current boss, Abu Muslim.

If he can take advantage of the situation to attack Broken Leaf and even Anxi, then he can monopolize the trade route to China, obtain endless benefits, and even possibly, he will become the master of China, and let that huge and rich silk country become his cow.

Thinking of this, Ziad did not hesitate any longer: "Your king wants to abandon the darkness and return to the light, I welcome it very much, but he must show sincerity......"

Yuan En, the prince of the Shi prince next to him, said gloomily: "Doesn't Dou Zhongjie have a son named Xue Yu, let him serve the Great Food Kingdom, so as to show his loyalty." ”

Taking the son as a hostage, this is a common thing, like this Yuanen, who was once sent to Chang'an, half tribute, half hostage. When Ziad heard this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, and looked at Ah Lida: "That's it, I heard that your king also married a princess of the Tang Kingdom?" Kill the princess. ”

Before he came, he was prepared to encounter harsh conditions, and he never thought that the conditions would be so harsh. This is the possibility of making peace with Datang completely cut off by Bahanna, and is firmly controlled by Dashi

The stakes are so high that although he is a messenger, he can't decide, so he grovels and says, "This matter is not something that my little envoy can decide, so I'll go back and tell the king." ”

After Ah Lida left, Yuan En immediately stood up, and he hated Bahanna in his heart who led the Tang Dynasty into the river, and he was never under the Tang Dynasty, so he bowed in front of Ziade: "General, the Bahan people are capricious, they once took refuge in the true God, but then rebelled, and then they took refuge in the Tang State, and now they rebel against the Tang State...... Such a country is not trustworthy at all, so I ask the general to allow me to take the head of King Bakhana and present it before the general."

Ziad waved his hand and said pleasantly: "Of course I know that the person of Dao Bakhan cannot be trusted, but now I need him to stab the Tang people in the back, you can rest assured, China has land and wealth, slaves and craftsmen, and I will satisfy all of you." ”

Of course, to make yourself most satisfied.

Ziad said this, Yuan En couldn't say anything else, he could only swallow this fruit silently, and then wait for the next opportunity.

It only took a day for Azanda to return, and with him was Xue Yu, the prince of Bakanna

This Xue Yu's expression was a little heavy, and he didn't seem happy to be a hostage.

It's right to be unhappy, after confirming his identity, Ziad ordered someone to take him down to "entertain him well", and then said to Alida: "What about the princess of the Tang Kingdom?" ”

"The king went out with the Tang people, and the prince took him with him for training, but the princess is a woman, so it is not easy to take it with her, and if you kill the princess now, I am afraid that the Tang people will be suspicious." Ah Lida said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency the Governor, you don't want us to alarm the Tang people and let them run back, right?" ”

"Are you afraid that the Tang people will run back?"

"Very afraid, if they flee back, they will definitely be commanded by the King of the Mountain again, and that general has never been defeated except the governor"

Ziad smiled, with some contempt in his heart, the so-called kings of the mountains of these small countries in the river are actually very ordinary, at least under their own attacks, they are obviously at a disadvantage.

"Since that's the case, then I'm ready to attack the Tang people." He looked around the tent and saw that the leaders of all the countries were here, so he decided: "Taking advantage of the good weather now, we will defeat the Tang people in one fell swoop, and then enter Anxi."

This is an ambitious strategy, the Tocharians present are very excited, and most of the monarchs and generals of the countries in the river are silent, compared to Khorasan or Tocharians, Persians, the influence of the Tang in the river is still there, except for Yuan En, who is eager for revenge, most people do not have much confidence in challenging the Tang Dynasty

When the power of the Tang Dynasty was strong, they would introduce the Great Food to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and when the Great Food was rampant in their territory, they would go to the Tang Dynasty and ask for the Great Food. Datang and Dashi are exhausted, and it is the best result for them.

"I know what is going on in your hearts, and you have seen my methods when I fought against rebellion." With a single glance at them, Ziyad knew exactly what they were thinking, and he warned: "Whoever betrays me is the enemy of the true God, and my holy warrior will send him and his family to Hell with a scimitar and fire."

Thinking of the cruelty he showed when suppressing the remnants of the white-clothed Great Food, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads

Compared with the Great Cannibals, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be extremely tolerant of the countries in the river, except for a Gao Xianzhi who is treacherous and greedy and cruel, most of the rest of the Anxi or Beiting festivals are considered tolerant. There will be no forced taxation of the countries in the river because they do not believe in Taoism or Buddhism, nor will they find an excuse to loot in their countries, let alone endless expropriation.

Perhaps it is this kind of benevolence that makes the countries in the river less afraid, as the sage said, the villain is afraid of power but not virtue, it is okay to rule the country with virtue, but to fight the enemy with virtue, hoping to influence the enemy in this way is either really stupid, or it has ulterior motives.

"All the ministries obey my orders" Seeing that there was no more opposition, Ziad began to call the shots.

Shi Guo naturally acted as the vanguard, after the last battle, Yuan En only had 3,000 men and horses left in his hands, which was also the most powerful force of Shi Guo, because he was short of troops, so Ziad incorporated the Grolo into his army. After him, it was the coalition army of the countries in the river, Ziad did not expect these rabble to be able to attack the fortification, his idea was to use these wall grass to consume the physical strength of the Tang army, and second, to let them test whether the Tang army had an ambush.

In Ziyad's view, even if the surrender of the Bahan was fraudulent, his arrangement was enough to ensure the safety of the Great Food Headquarters.

After setting the order of sending troops, the next step was to determine the time of attack, the Great Food Army, like the Tang Army, was good at sudden attacks, so since he had made up his mind, Ziad gave the order to set off the whole army the next day.

Ah Da got the letter, and immediately sneaked back to the camp of Bahanna, and after reporting to Dou Zhongjie, he sighed and said: "If the Tang Dynasty is defeated, I am afraid that they will make a comeback in two or three years. ”

"Who said we really want to take away Ye Chuan?" Dou Zhongjie sneered twice.

"The king's intentions?"

"Now we can tell the truth...... No, you and I go to see Ye Zhongcheng and tell him all what Ziad said to you."

Ah Lida's mouth opened wide, and he didn't react for a long time, until Dou Zhongjie walked to the door and looked back at him, he came back to his senses: "This...... Is this fake? ”

"Naturally, it's fake, Datang or Dashi, who to choose between the two, then you still need to ask?" Dou Zhongjie snorted, his face was a little distorted: "Big food, big food, if you follow him, I'm afraid that I will be eaten to the point that there are no bones left, this kind of lesson丨 one time is enough"

"This ...... This...... It's a clever plan, but what about the prince, why is he hiding it from me? Arida couldn't help but say.

"The prince is there, I have arranged someone around him, and I will naturally remind him when the time comes. Hiding it from you...... It's not that I don't believe you, this is Ye Zhongcheng's confession, he said, if you want to deceive the enemy, you have to deceive even your own people" Dou Zhongjie smiled, and admired Ye Chang's words very much in his heart.

Ah Lida was like him, and after chewing these words in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Ye Zhongcheng is much more shrewd than Gao Xianzhi."
