Luo Youdu's confident attitude and tone made Xiao Chuo, who was unable to discern the key, even more uncomfortable.
In this era where men are superior to women, it is very difficult for a woman like Xiao Chuo to achieve success in this era.
Xiao Chuo is not the heroine of a cool novel. She challenges the old order with her passionate and brainless spirit, and then thrives with the brainless help of a group of dog-licking male protagonists.
Xiao Chuo understood how bumpy the road he was walking on was. It is no exaggeration to say that a woman wanted to join the officialdom, and it would be difficult and dangerous. If it were not for the Emperor Yu next to him, with his power as the founding emperor of Qin Emperor and Han Wu,
He made an opening, saying that he, the so-called most talented woman, was at best a talking point for literati and poets to talk about in their free time at banquets. If you wanted to talk freely about state affairs, most of the time you could only spend your time chatting at banquets with a group of good-for-nothing young men.
But Luo Youdu was completely different. He truly believed in his abilities and was willing to condescend to discuss some state affairs with him. He would even discuss some confidential matters with her at special times.
Therefore, in Xiao Chuo's heart, the Emperor Yu who watched him grow up beside him was his confidant on the road of life.
It's just that this confidant has bad intentions. He half-spoken and left it to her to guess. How could it be so easy to guess the outcome?
Luo Youdu did not reveal his answer early. He just laughed and walked into the palace where Xiao Hunian and Xiao Yilan lived, ignoring Xiao Chuo who was itching like a monkey.
Xiao Chuo was so angry that he stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and followed me in. He bullied me like this and wanted to sleep with my two sisters in a dream.
Talas!
Ali Musa personally braved the wind and snow to greet the black-clad vizier, Rudius Guerra, outside the city.
"Dear Vizier, your arrival has allowed me to see the will of the true God, and the dawn of victory is right in front of us."
Ali Musa's attitude was extremely pious.
This was very useful to Rudeus Guerra, the second in command of the Arab Empire who was in his fifties and had always been neglected.
Vizier means Prime Minister in the Arab Empire.
The Catholic Church and the Catholic Church both have the supremacy of theocratic authority, but they are still very different. The Catholic Church respects the pope, and the divine power and monarchy are separated. The Catholic Church is a unity of politics and religion, and the king, the Caliph, is the messenger of God.
Agent of God Allah.
However, due to foreign invasions and repeated uprisings, the current Black-clothed Era was divided into many different countries, and the country's power was declining day by day.
Somewhat similar to the late Spring and Autumn Period and early Warring States Period in China, the Caliph no longer had the power to command all parties, but he was still the nominal co-leader and held the divine power.
The Great Yu from the East led Manichaeism into the Western Regions with a devastating momentum, attacking the Kara Khanate that believed in the Great Food Law, and stimulated all countries that believed in the Great Food Law.
Manichaeism was the one who drove the Great Food Dharma to the East bit by bit, and everyone was worried that this time Manichaeism would come back and settle accounts with them.
None of them can guarantee that they can win the war in the east, so coalition forces are an inevitable move. The value of the caliphate's existence was also reflected, and Rudius Guerra, the vizier, became the supreme commander in charge of the jihadist army.
Rudeus Guerra held the Quran in his hand and said with determination: "Allah will lead us to victory and punish all infidels..."
As he spoke, he turned around, looked at the dense army behind him, raised the Quran in his hand, and shouted: "Allah is the creator, benefactor and sole master of all things in the universe. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent.
Merciful, formless, omnipresent and omnipresent, neither begotten nor begotten, without beginning or end, everlasting and self-existing, a unique existence. Now the infidels intend to destroy our mosques, slander and slander God, what should we do!"
"kill!"
"Expulse the infidels!"
…
A large army of believers raised all kinds of weapons in their hands and screamed heart-breakingly. Their eyes were red, and they seemed to be wild beasts that had lost their minds. They simply destroyed the mosque and slandered and slandered words like God.
, in their eyes it is a heinous crime.
Seeing this momentum, Ali Musa was excited, convinced that he had made the right choice, and invited Rudius Guerra into the city.
Rudeus Guerra asked about Dayu's situation.
Ali Musa said: "Dongfang has captured Suiye City. Due to wind and snow problems, they did not go deeper and repaired in the city to avoid the cold."
Dayu didn't pay much for capturing Suiye City.
Because in order to demonstrate his authority, he asked Ludwig, the governor of Suiye City, to go to Kashgar to watch the ceremony, and Ludwig handed over the power to his mediocre son-in-law. Faced with the enemy approaching the city, he lacked the courage to fight to the death.
After resisting for three days, they surrendered.
Rudeus Guerra said: "So, the East doesn't plan to use troops within three months? We still have three full months?"
"Half a year, at least half a year." Ali Musa said confidently: "Three months is the time God has bought for us, and another three months is the time for the opponent to attack Kashgar."
Rudeus Guerra said: "In this way, just like the great victory of Talas in the past, the pagans in the East will know that God is all the truth."
The troops he brought were coalition forces sent by various countries and believers inspired by mosques in various places, not all of them.
Jihad is launched in an all-round way, and believers from all over the country will act spontaneously. They do not have a fixed organization, but they will gather in Talos for their faith.
Half a year is enough for them to assemble an army of tens of thousands of cannon fodder...
------------------
Broken Leaf City.
The east wind is howling, and after half a month of wind and snow, the Congling Plateau has finally cleared up, but the temperature has become even colder.
Zhe Yuqing entered the house and came to the brazier. He put his hand against the brazier and felt the hot temperature. He exhaled and said, "I'm alive! This place is much colder than our hometown."
Zhe Yuxun put down the military book in his hand and said: "As the old saying goes, heavy snow is not cold until it turns into cold snow. If you stay in the house, you won't be able to stay."
Zhe Yuqing said with high spirits: "Brother, do you know what this principle is?"
Zhe Yuxun was startled and said, "What's the rationale for this? That's what the old saying goes."
Zhe Yuqing said: "Brother, I don't know. The ancients said this out of experience. This is the result. Why this result occurs? The process is the truth. It is because the snow absorbs heat, causing the temperature to drop."
Zhe Yuxun smiled and said: "Where did you learn it?"
Zhe Yuqing said proudly: "It was Deputy Commander Yelu who said it. He learned the knowledge from books, which was taught in universities. Thermal expansion and contraction are also taught there..."
Zhe Yuxun felt a little ashamed of himself. He thought he was not as good as Brother Yelvxiu, but he didn't expect that he was not only better than him, but also worked harder and studied harder than him.
"Deputy Commander Yelu is a hero of the world. Looking at the entire imperial court, his military strategy is also one of the best, no less than Cao, Pan, and Li. It's rare that he likes you so much, so you must learn from him."
He knew that his talents were limited, but he was full of expectations for Zhe Yuqing, who had unlimited possibilities.
Zhe Yuqing said: "As I know, the deputy commander's understanding of cavalry is amazing. Our Fugu Zhe family also uses cavalry, but Deputy Commander Yelu's understanding and ideas of many details are refreshing and I have benefited a lot.
But...the deputy commander met his opponent today."
Zhe Yuxun became interested and asked: "How do you say it?"
Zhe Yuqing said with great interest: "Deputy Commander Yelu demonstrated many offensive methods to my brother today. He also took me to visit the military camp under the command of Changdu. When he saw the commander of Changdu training in formation in the military camp, he was thinking a lot.
I don’t know how to defeat it from the front.”
Zhe Yuxun said with a smile: "That's natural. Commander Changdu is a general who was personally promoted by His Majesty from among the soldiers. He is one of the most trusted generals and is recognized as a prudent general. When Your Majesty goes on an expedition, Commander Changdu is always in Bian.
Jing, guarding the capital, has never made a mistake. Therefore, he has not been able to participate in many battles, and his fame is not obvious, but his ability is beyond doubt. This time, His Majesty allowed him to go into battle, presumably to show him off.
Chance……"
The commander of Changdu refers to Chang Side, one of the earliest soldiers of the 500 Imperial Camp Division.
Zhe Yuxun said this carelessly, but suddenly an idea flashed through him. He excitedly placed the military book in his hand on the table and shouted excitedly: "I understand, I understand, that's it, that's it. No wonder the governor is not anxious at all.
The more troops the opponent gathers, the worse the defeat will be."
Li Chuyun was not in a hurry to attack at all, and rested comfortably in Suiye City for three months. It was not until winter turned to spring and everything revived that he ordered troops to attack Kashgar, the capital of the Kara Khanate.
The attack on Kashgar did not go smoothly. Human beings are the most advanced animals on the earth and know how to learn from experience and lessons. Dayu used fire oil, trebuchets, and gunpowder to destroy the western city of Khotan, Yingjisha, and Karakhan
Although the state did not know what kind of magic Dongfang used, they learned about the battle from the defeated soldiers who retreated from Yingjisha, and made targeted defenses, which caused some trouble to the Dayu army attacking the city.
However, Ali Musa transferred the main force away from Kashgar and retreated to Talas. Kashgar's own troops were limited and did not fight to the end. After holding on for two and a half months, they gave up resistance and abandoned the city.
Atush grassland, night.
Harun Bogra looked back at the long line of tired soldiers behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.
They stayed in Kashgar for two and a half months, facing the flames caused by fire oil and dense and precise flying rocks day and night, and endured indescribable pressure.
He promised his father to stay for three months, but he even said that he would stay for half a year to get more time. Who would have thought that two and a half months is already the limit.
Having brought out a group of capable people, Father Khan should not blame himself for being incompetent.
Thinking of the artillery fire of the Yu army, Harun Bogra still shuddered and exhaled a cold breath.
Suddenly, he stopped. Something was approaching rapidly. Before he could identify what it was, a sharp and loud sound passed by, like a sharp knife cutting through the sky.
It's Mingdi!
Harun Bogra tensed his trembling body and shouted with all his strength: "Quick, prepare to fight!"
Sharp sounds of piercing the sky were heard from all directions, their lighting torches were all extinguished, and darkness enveloped the chaotic and desperate battlefield.
