The lights did not illuminate the large shadows behind the doorway, and the cool breeze blew the treetops at night to make a slight sound, Zhang Changan came to the door as usual, and opened the door with a calm expression.

By the time the light filtered through the crack in the door, he was ready to strike with all his might. With his cultivation in the Yang God True True Realm, the strength of the first young monk of the Tang Dynasty, even if it was a high-level shaman of the Crescent Moon Sect, he would have a chance to deal with it.

Every time he opened the door, Zhang Changan had the psychological expectation of fighting hard, and even prepared for dozens of monks to suddenly appear outside the hospital, and he was ready to sacrifice his life for the country in a bloody battle.

Although Baghdad City cannot be compared with Chang'an City, it is also a big city, and the monks of the Western Regions Commercial Bank are here, just like fish and shrimp being thrown into the sea.

What appeared outside the door was Saidianchi's handsome face with deep facial features and a very well-trimmed beard, although there was a hint of eagerness on his face, it was not rich, and his eyes were very calm, so nothing bad should happen. There was only one attendant beside him, and there was nothing unusual to see, which corroborated this even more.

Zhang Changan quickly swept around the outside, the houses were cold, the streets were silent, and the trajectory of the wind was not abnormal. He breathed a sigh of relief and let Saidianchi in.

This is the stronghold of the Western Regions Trading House, not far from Saidianchi's house, although it is getting late at the moment, Baghdad has no precautions for Saidianchi.

"At dusk, we were ordered to go to the Great Shrine to listen to the order, and now the Great Shrine and the Wisdom Palace have issued an urgent order to gather all the elite monks of the whole country and rush to the Eastern Mulu City on the same day!"

After entering the house, Sai Dianchi had no time to sit down, so he hurriedly told Zhang Changan the reason for coming in a hurry, "This is a national conscription order! It is rare to encounter it once in decades, and the situation on the battlefield must not be optimistic. I have heard that the Caliph has ordered the inner treasury to be opened, and all the treasures of the magic weapons inside are taken out and equipped for the monks who are rushing to the east!"

Zhang Changan poured a glass of wine for Sai Dianchi, sat down by himself, and signaled Sai Dianchi not to be in a hurry, and explained all the details clearly. By this time, he had rarely drunk tea, and in comparison, more big cannibals preferred to drink, and in order to be more like a big cannibal, his habits were also changing.

According to Saidianchi's description, Zhang Changan has a general understanding of the current situation.

Mullen lost the war in the Seven Rivers Valley and lost control of the sea, and the only thing he can do now is to hold the defense line of Mulu City. Of course, Zhang Changan knew that the upcoming battle of Mulu City was definitely not a border war.

It is related to the survival of the Great Food.

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Great Food, the core combat power of the country is the army, and the key force of the army is the monks. The essence of the former is the Wolf Tooth Army, the Tiger Guard, the Yulin Army, and the Lingnan Sea Division, and the core of the latter is the Guards Army, as well as the pro-forces of the two deputy emirases, including the navy.

Once this part of the force is completely annihilated by the other party, no matter how vast the Great Food Land is, it will only be an undefended courtyard.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the pro-army of Monchitaz and Xi Luchi has been destroyed, and there are more than 200,000 guards left in the army of the Great Food Monks, and if the Guards are eaten by the Tang Army again, the Great Food will be completely unable to resist the Tang Army, and the country will also perish.

Mullen certainly wouldn't let that happen, and he should have to deal with it.

"The caliph's order makes it clear that the country is now in a state of crisis, and all the forces of the monks must be used by the state and join in this national war. "But the 50,000 guards in Baghdad have not received orders to march eastward.

It should still be stationed in the national capital. ”

Zhang Changan nodded, thinking to himself.

Obviously, forced by the situation, Mullen has changed the current war from an army war to a national war.

The Great Food is a combination of politics and religion, the power of the Crescent Sect is extremely strong, the mobilization power of the sect is outstanding, and the monks of the whole country are under the control of the sect, and it will be easy and fast for the monks to smoothly implement the eastward advance.

In terms of war mobilization ability, the current Great Eclipse is very strong, which is the benefit of the Crescent Sect's strong mental control over its followers. Zhang Changan knows very well that now is the time for Da Shi to show his country, the institutional advantages of the integration of politics and religion.

And this is undoubtedly very bad news for Wang Shi.

"Do you know the specific implementation plan of the conscription order?" Zhang Changan asked Sai Dianchi. He was a little anxious, but not flustered. As long as the plan of the New Moon Sect is figured out, there is still a lot of room for action with the power of the Western Regions Commercial Bank spread across all departments.

On the eve of the Great War, the five hundred monks of the Tang Dynasty were the first to enter the Black Khanate, and after carrying out the task of hunting and killing the monks of the Supervision Academy, they did not act with the army.

Saidianchi shook his head, "A comprehensive implementation plan, the Great Elder didn't say anything today. However, with my current status in the Great Temple, I will definitely know a lot of information later, and as long as I pay attention, I can still find a lot of clues. ”

The Crescent Sect's recruitment of monks from all over the country to rush to the front line of Mulu City is related to the movement of millions of people in the vast area, and there will undoubtedly be a plan of action.

There will be corresponding arrangements for how many monks and materials to be mobilized in each locality, how long to assemble, when to set out, where the teams from small places will meet, the itinerary of the teams from large places, which cities they will enter to station, and what kind of tasks they will undertake after they arrive in the east.

Without a plan, the whole operation is a mess and a mess that can't be done.

Zhang Changan knew very well that he had to control this action plan in advance. It will provide a strong basis for the trading houses in the Western Regions in various places, especially in the east, as well as Wang Shi's next targeted actions, so as to sabotage the other party's plan.

If you can't stop all this, when Maren quickly deploys personnel and materials in place, the defense line of Mulu City will be impregnable. And once Mullen begins to rely on the vast area of the Great Eclipse and fortify it layer by layer in depth, multiple lines of defense will be formed, and an impregnable defense system will be constructed.

Once that situation occurs, no matter how strong Wang Shi is, he will not want to destroy the Great Eclipse within three or two years. This is the advantage of a large country with a vast territory and a large population, and even if it is defeated one after another and the army suffers heavy losses, there is still room to save the war.

And in this war, Wang Shi will not have three or two years to use.

Zhang Changan very much hoped to rely on Saidianchi to figure out the arrangement of the Crescent Moon Sect.

But he also understands that Saidianchi alone will not work.

He said to Saidian: "Although you are now a high-level member of the Great Temple, you are not yet the most core personnel. It's not surprising that you'll know part of the plan, because you'll have errands too, but it's a little harder to get the full picture. And if you deliberately probe and probe in many ways, it will inevitably make people feel strange and suspicious. ”

The high-level council of the Great Temple, which is also the high-level of the Crescent Sect, is composed of thirteen presiding high priests, who are in charge of the entire Crescent Moon Cult for the true god. The current Sai Dianchi is one of the thirteen chief priests.

But its core group is the five elders. They are extremely powerful, mysterious, and easily faceless, and it is difficult for Sai Dianchi and others to contact them in depth.

"Then what should I do next?" asked Saidianchi quickly

。

He felt that Zhang Changan must have a way, the young Tang Junyan in front of him was the smartest person he had ever seen, as if no matter what problem came to him, he had the means to solve it.

Zhang Changan took out a stack of documents from the storage bag, put them on the table and turned out two copies, and took one of them to Saidian Equator: "According to the information we inquired about before, among the five elders of the Great Temple, this 'Mohad' elder is one of the few people who go out a lot and are easier for us to get in touch with.

"These days, according to the information you provided, I have sent people to find out his details, but I have obtained something useful, in short, this person has the possibility of being used by me. ”

After he came to Baghdad, the Western Regions Trading House here was under his command, and in addition to guiding Saidianchi's actions these days, he naturally did not be idle, and did a lot of targeted things.

The key point is to identify the "usable people" among the dignitaries in Baghdad based on the information of the Western Regions Trading House over the years and Saidianchi's understanding, and to conduct a detailed investigation of them.

When Saidianchi heard Zhang Chang'an's words, he was a little surprised: "Elder Mohard, whose status is already the highest existence in the Great Temple, is extremely noble, how can it be used by us?

"Between the five elders, although they are not monolithic, they are different according to their origins and temperaments, Mohad is not very gregarious, and he has also been hindered by some constraints, but it is far from the extent that he has a deep grudge and wants to turn his face against others, or make unfavorable moves against the Great Temple!"

Zhang Changan handed the document to Sai Dianchi and motioned for the other party to read it quickly.

He said unhurriedly, "We don't need him to betray the Great Temple. We don't necessarily need to have the intention of betraying if we want to get the news. This person is indeed of a noble position, and there are no personal flaws, and it is indeed impossible to buy him with the magic weapon of wealth. ”

The more Sai Dianchi listened, the more confused he became, and he looked up at Zhang Changan in confusion.

"Mohd is extremely strong personally, but his background is ordinary, although he is not a poor family, he is only a third-rate nobleman. He is now one of the five elders, and his personal power has reached its peak, but it is not so easy to revitalize the family in Baghdad, which is full of nobles.

Over the years, he has relied on his personal influence to indeed increase the status of the family a lot, but Mo said that there is still a gap between him and the first-class nobles and the second-rate nobles. The reason for this is nothing more than being looked down upon by the real aristocracy and not being able to fully integrate into them.

"So, he needs an arm. And you, Saidianchi, are his lucky star. ”

Hearing Zhang Changan say this, Saidianchi suddenly realized.

He has a noble status, and he belongs to the top type of nobles in the Great Food, although he is currently in the Great Temple, he is only one of the thirteen chief priests, and there is a status gap with Mohard, but if he is willing to associate with the other party, the other party must not be able to ask for it.

Zhang Changan looked at Saidianchi and said solemnly: "All you have to do is to befriend Mohard." Once you become a good friend with him, he will definitely treat you sincerely if he wants to use your influence to completely integrate into Baghdad's top aristocratic group and improve the status of the family.

"With a little guidance, it's easy to be friends with each other. What you want to know at that time, whatever Mohard knows, is not a secret. Even if it is a core matter of politics and religion, you are a big nobleman, and he is not worried that you will leak secrets, so he should not have any reservations. ”

When Saidianchi heard the end, he opened his mouth, but he was speechless. The arrangement of Zhang Changan can only be admired.
