When Sai Dianchi was drinking with Mohad, Zhang Changan also went out early. He summoned the heads of the monks of the Western Regions in Baghdad, and held an urgent meeting in a hidden place that Sai Dianchi did not know.
"Mallen issued a call-up order, and the New Moon Cult of the Great Food will immediately take full action. Most of the thirteen high priests in charge of the Great Temple will rush to various places later to preside over the assembly of monks in each city and the dispatch of supplies. The Western Regions Commercial Firms must act simultaneously to disrupt their plans."
Zhang Changan on the main seat looked around the crowd. Although his face was solemn, his eyes were not sharp. On the contrary, he appeared calm and composed, as if everything was under control.
The room was not very big, ten or twenty monks in different costumes sat cross-legged in several rows, and there seemed to be a faint aura of gold criss-crossing under the beams.
The Western Regions Commercial Bank has been deployed in Dashi for many years, and its strength is strong. Although the pickets of the New Moon Sect Overwatch Council caused them some troubles, because the time was short and the Western Regions Caravans responded in a timely manner, they did not hurt their bones. Now they have capacity to act everywhere.
Zhang Changan went on to express his thoughts, "Our strength is not weak. If we count those big cannibals who were bribed, bought, blackmailed and cooperated with us, our strength can even be said to be very strong. But this is so, in In Dashi territory, we also don't have the ability to directly conflict with the New Moon Sect.
"So our plan is to focus on destruction, delay the pace of the opponent's gathering of monks and dispatching materials as much as possible, weaken their strength to reinforce the front line of Mulu City, and buy time for the king's attack on the frontal battlefield.
"As long as the monks and supplies going to the Great Food East Territory are not enough to deploy the depth of the battle line in a short period of time, judging from the current advancing speed of Master Wang, victory will definitely belong to us.
"Our focus of action is divided into three points. First, assassinate the high-level officials of the Great Temple who presided over the recruitment of monks; second, destroy the supplies gathered by the New Moon Sect; The people panicked."
After saying this, Zhang Changan began to arrange the specific manpower in each city.
For now, Sai Dianchi has not yet brought back a detailed plan for the recruitment operation, and the goals of the Western Regions Commercial Firm have not yet appeared, so Zhang Changan is more concerned about letting the Western Regions Commercial Firms concentrate their manpower, and at the same time spread eyeliner everywhere , to monitor every move of the Great Temple.
The actions of the Western Region Commercial Bank depended heavily on Sai Dianchi's information, but Zhang Changan would not pin all his hopes on the other party. Over the years, the Western Region Commercial Firm has also done a lot of things. For example, some high-level officials of the great temples have fallen into their surveillance, and they can keep track of the other party's movements at any time.
In addition, the Western Regions Trading Company also has other sources of information. It has also established a very meticulous surveillance network in important cities. It can teach some monks through the crescent moon and understand the other party's actions. Because of this, even if Sai Dianchi could not obtain more useful information in the future, the Western Regions Commercial Firm would not be unable to act.
It's just that both efficiency and results will definitely be greatly reduced.
After arranging today's affairs, it was getting late, Zhang Changan returned to his foothold, waited for Sai Dianchi to return, and reported to him the news of today's detection, especially the communication with Mohad.
Half an hour later, Sai Dianchi arrived as scheduled, and explained to Zhang Changan in detail what he saw and heard in the Great Temple today, including the progress of reaching a friendly alliance with Mohad
again.
Hearing that in order to deal with the Western Regions commercial firm, the Great Temple had actually formulated a plan to "lead the snake out of the hole", Zhang Changan couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling startled by the opponent's cunning.
To be honest, because the battle in Mulu City must be resolved quickly, the Western Regions Trading Company is now eager to destroy the call-up order. If they did not know this plan of "leading the snake out of the hole" in advance, the Western Regions Trading Company would most likely fall into a trap.
Even if Zhang Chang'an is keen enough to personally direct Baghdad's operations, there will be fears of failure in the Western Regions' operations in other important cities.
Fortunately, Sai Dianchi brought back the news, so Zhang Changan had a chance to deal with it.
This part of the action involves the specific situation of the specific location, and Zhang Changan can't make a plan now, but as long as he can notify the Western Region Commercial Firm, so that everyone is fully psychologically prepared to carefully screen it out, with the sophistication cultivated by the Western Region Commercial Firm's monks for many years of struggle, decisively Don't all jump into the fire pit.
"This news is very important. I will write down the credit for you. When the war is over, your benefits will definitely be indispensable!" Zhang Changan praised Sai Dianchi, and made a serious promise to the other party, which made the latter extremely happy .
"Don't be careless in dealing with Mohad. The other party is not a good person. Remember not to show any flaws. All words and deeds must be cautious. Since the plan is implemented smoothly, then proceed steadily according to the process we have arranged in advance, and strive to leave Baghdad before you leave Baghdad. Before going to carry out the task, become an irreversible friend with the other party."
Speaking of this, Zhang Changan pondered for a while, and then said: "With a common ground and interests, the relationship will indeed be much closer, but this is not enough, the personal relationship between the two of you must be deepened. Do you know how to do it?"
Sai Dianchi patted his chest and said confidently: "You have taught me these things a long time ago. If you want to have a deep personal relationship, it is nothing more than like-minded and like-minded. We don't have great ideals, so noble like-mindedness is avoided, and like-minded people are easy to do."
Zhang Changan nodded, very satisfied with Sai Dianchi's progress.
They have already found out about Mohad's preferences.
The other party was born in a third-rate aristocrat, and his status is not high enough, so he especially likes to be arty. After decades of accumulation, he not only has a brilliant literary talent, but also collects a large number of rare and antiques. He often shows off to others to show his aristocratic background and cultivation. Win the approval of the first-class nobles.
Sai Dianchi only needs to start from this aspect, and he can easily become the opponent's "confidant".
...
The season has come to mid-autumn, the weather is cool and breezy.
From the Wuhu River to the west, Li Ye faced the direction of Mulu City and walked on the wind, with fluttering clothes and a calm demeanor. The gently undulating mountains and rivers recede slowly under the white clouds at his feet, and the yellowed grassland is vast and has a unique charm.
"East wind is coming, spring is coming, west wind is coming, and autumn is strong. It's mid-autumn now, and the weather is a lot cooler. Why is the east wind blowing in this place?" King Qi twitched his own strands of black hair on Li Ye's body. The side whispered and said, looking a little tired.
When she first came to the Seven Rivers Basin, she was deeply impressed by the beautiful scenery here. After seeing a lot these days, she lost her initial interest and began to pay attention to other things.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Li Ye smiled, and said unhurriedly: "In autumn and winter here, the wind blows from the northeast, while in spring and summer it blows from the southwest, which is really different from the Central Plains.
The reason is a bit complicated to say, but it can also prove that we have indeed traveled a long way. "
The matter of Ji Feng did not belong to this era, Li Ye couldn't talk more with King Qi, so he changed the subject.
"This battle is really going thousands of miles away, and Guan Shandu is like flying!" King Qi agreed with the feeling that he was far away from home, so he hung up his book bag rarely.
Li Ye pointed to the faintly taller mountains at the end of the land in front of him, and said to King Qi: "Mulu City is located in the transition zone from the plain to the plateau. The land of attack.
"Now that Maren is retreating here, he has stepped up the construction of many stone cities. The fortresses connecting the fortresses with a radius of a hundred miles form a complete line of defense, which greatly expands the depth. It can be described as an iron wall, as solid as gold."
From the Seven Rivers Valley to the Iranian Plateau, Mulu City is indeed a rare military fortress in the world. And after Mulu City, until the Mesopotamia where Baghdad City is located, the thousands of miles in between are all plateau landforms, and the terrain can be described as complicated.
But to Tang Jun, this was not a mountain of swords and fire. The Mobei Grassland was also a plateau area, and Tang Jun still galloped and wiped out Khitan. In terms of geographical height alone, as long as it is not an extreme area like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the ordinary plateau will not cause much substantial hindrance to the current Datang army.
King Qi looked at the clouds in the western sky with long-distance eyes: "From Guanzhong to Yangguan, from Yangguan to Barshan City, and from Barshan City to Mulu City, the army has traveled so far. We will continue to To the west, across the entire plateau controlled by Dashi, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are fighting endlessly in such a vast area, this is really an unprecedented miracle."
Li Ye nodded slightly, agreeing with King Qi's emotion. If it weren't for the cultivation civilization of the Tang Dynasty, which has developed to the current level, it would be frightening to think about going so far.
"Actually, it's not as far as you think. The straight-line distance from Mulu City to the Two Rivers Basin is just the width of the Seven Rivers Basin. The length of the Western Regions in its heyday was actually wider than we thought. The scope of control is also greater than we feel.
"Speaking carefully, it didn't take long for us to pacify the Black Khanate. We only need to conquer the defense line of Mulu City. If the battle goes well, there is a possibility of soldiers approaching the Mesopotamia before the cold winter, and seeing the boundless plain again."
Li Ye's words were understated, but the look of disdain on his brows was naturally revealed, and he couldn't hide it no matter what.
In his opinion, the distance the army marched to the west is not far. After all, the distance traveled by the Lingnan Fleet from Zhendong Protectorate to the Far East Protectorate in Teodihuacan City is several times Distance from Seven Rivers Valley to Baghdad.
"Ma Lun has already issued a call-up order. With the national strength of the Dashi and the strength of the New Moon Sect, under normal circumstances, the first batch of monks and supplies to be recruited will arrive at Mulu City within a month. Before that, we can, Take down the defense line of Mulu City that Ma Lun swore to defend to the death?" King Qi turned to look at Li Ye and asked seriously.
The first batch of monks transferred to Mulu City by the call-up order must be the closest to this place in the Dashi Kingdom, and one month is indeed enough.
Li Ye didn't answer King Qi's question directly. He looked at Mulu City, which gradually revealed its majestic silhouette on the horizon as he flew, and said calmly, "We'll know if we can conquer it or not."
